Are Julian and Heinrich going to return to the inn now, maybe? Get everyone back together, and unleash the EXP?

They must be sleepy, surely!

Quote from: Fandir Nightshade

Max is pretty smart....Mortus drunk...I wonder if the two would make up if Klaus leaves the room under some pretense.

Would Klaus be jealous?

Finlay · « **Reply #651 on:** June 20, 2012, 10:45:31 PM »

I'm done, I nless we are burning. Julian doesn't realty want to.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #652 on:** June 20, 2012, 10:50:01 PM »

It sounded like cannon wanted to burn it earlier. Better wait for him.

How's Julian going to get the blood off his clothes!

Finlay · « **Reply #653 on:** June 20, 2012, 11:05:01 PM »

There is a river in town right? Can I maybe wash the blood off me there, and then send Heinrich into the inn to get spare clothes from someone, then buy some dwarf clothes tomorrow? I don't know!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #654 on:** June 20, 2012, 11:10:38 PM »

You can't really show up at the inn covered in blood (well, you could... but surely someone would tell the watch), so a little swim in the river is a good idea. I don't think anyone has any spare clothes, so that will probably have to do.

You should put plastic sheeting down before you commit your murders, like Dexter!

Finlay · « **Reply #655 on:** June 20, 2012, 11:45:25 PM »

That killing was so un-dexter like.

Cannonofdoom · « **Reply #656 on:** June 21, 2012, 04:46:25 AM »

I'm ready to book it if you are. We need to wipe down our fingerprints!

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #657 on:** June 21, 2012, 05:29:22 AM »

Fingerprints are only an issue about 500 years later in the real world so you should be fine.

Quote from: Fandir

Well actually he is....on what skill do you check when sneaking and hiding? Dex or Intelligence?

Sneaking = listen test for people who might hear you. Modified by silent move skill.

Hiding = I + Cl test, - I of person who might see you. Modified by concealment and shadowing skills.

Also, Klaus can't read, so he's not reading that note.

[The book contains the following petty magic spells: curse, gift of tongues, magic lock, magic flame, magic alarm, marsh lights, open, protection from rain, remove curse, sleep, reinforce door.]

What would I need to do to learn them?

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #660 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:03:22 AM »

Why can´t Klaus read? In my background I stated that he tried to learn it to better conceal his lie about being a noble, he certainly is smart enough for it and with the age of 28 I also think he is old enough to have learned it somewhere over the years.

commandant · « **Reply #661 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:10:35 AM »

Is he rich enough to have had somebody teach him though, reading is very expensive

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #662 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:11:51 AM »

I think it's EXP time!

Then everyone goes to bed, and wakes up ready for another exciting day!

Quote from: Fandir Nightshade on June 21, 2012, 09:03:22 AM

Most common people can't read. Klaus doesn't have the read/write skill (generally, only academic careers include it). He can learn it though.

Heinrich can't read either! It's fine.

Will explain in the game thread in a moment.

You might have learned, but since you don't have the skill you didn't succeed.

Also we're fuckin rich!

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #664 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:14:30 AM »

Boooo Hiss! Ok Klaus can´t read and I could go for a more martial Klaus by increasing my Bs and getting throwing knifes or some other missle weapon....but I guess I rather stay a coward and leave the fighting to the experts.

Finlay · « **Reply #665 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:14:51 AM »

Julian has to go back to the office and feign surprise. If he doesn't go it will look well suspicious!

What are our leads. How long have we got- until the end of the day after when we wake up?

I think BS weapons suit Klaus. Throwing knives sound perfect

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #666 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:26:47 AM »

But I don´t want to fight...I am a coward.

You guys are murderers and thieves right now....imagine the horror if we find out that the Steinhagers are innocent and were only framed (unlikely).

commandant · « **Reply #667 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:29:37 AM »

Mortus is not a murderer or a thief (well maybe she accepts stolen goods) but is an honest merchant

He might want to buy new clothes first... he can't have cleaned all the blood off the old ones!

Should I summarize all the important things the group has learned? Or would that be patronizing?

commandant · « **Reply #669 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:36:35 AM »

As far as I know we know the following

- There is a temple somewhere in which a begger will be murdered
- There is a meeting of the sinc
- Professor Teugen turned his family's fortune around swiftly and had a reputation in Nuln
- The Steinhagers may be involved as well
- There could be a thieves den in the sewers
- It will all come about at the end of the festival (2 days I think)

Am I missing anything?

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #670 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:37:22 AM »

Let us try to find out and make a list...and snigger to yourself about everything we missed.

I gave Klaus another wound as the flogging increased his toughness.

- we know that there was a demon summoned under the Steinhager office with the help of a mutated Goblins blood
- we know that there was a cover up attempt by Sarge Hohlbein about the mutant
- we know that there was a handkerchief with the initalis FS most likely Franz Steinhager at the room
-we know of a secret order called Order Serpentus or the sevenfolded order
-we know that Teugen and Steinhager are likely in this together.
-we know that there is a secret meeting of the inner circle this evening after the ring of the 12th bell
-we know that this meeting is supposed to have a huge impact on the influence of the two families on trade, so huge that they will be more powerful than any merchant family in the old world (or so they think).
-we know that Ruggbroder is opposing them but doesn´t know much
-we know that Sir Martin is a dick.

Addition from Commandantes post
-we know that there is a thieves den under the crossed pike
-we know that the Patriarch of the Teugen family was a professor in nuln and was suspected to dabble in magic, also his brother died mysteriously.
-we know that there is some temple in which a beggar will be murdered.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #671 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:47:03 AM »

Good lists! Well done.

One thing though: the secret meeting is an hour after sunset, today. The '12th bell' thing is something happening tomorrow.

Today is the last day of the Schaffenfest.

So flogging is actually good for you! Who'd have thought.

commandant · « **Reply #672 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:50:34 AM »

We know something was killed in that warehouse and not by falling crates

Finlay · « **Reply #673 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:54:37 AM »

I thought the blood on the knife in demonroom was red and not green- so they sacrificed someone else and then the demon ate the goblin.

Buy some new clothes first.
