New in Town

 a few recent arrivals have stopped off at the guild, and are contemplating staying someplace away from the rougher crowd. The general membership consists of mercenaries, scoundrels, mountebanks and rogues of every stripe.
Your weapons checked at the door with master Aemon, you sit reservedly at a table,  eating the bowls of hot brown that your membership can get you.

A small little creature about 6 inches high sits on windowsill of one of the high up windows.
He is eating his small bowl of hot brown and watching the room studying all that going on in it.

Wiley surrenders his saber with only a small comment that he can hardly use it anyway, and wears it only for appearances, being fresh off the farm as he is.

He collects his bowl and finds a place to sit where the table is not too sticky, and pulls out a deck of cards and starts playing solitaire, shuffling clumsily between rounds as he watches the crowd.

Leroy headed into the main hall, and checked his multiple weapons in with Aemon.
Strolling past the halberdiers, he headed for the dining area, and grabbed a wooden bowl and spoon, and stood in the serving line.

Marcus hands over his quiver, bow and long knife.  He throws back the dusty hood of his cloak and walks over to where they are dishing out the brown.  He takes a bowl sniffing it and shrugging as if to say he has had worse. He scans the room and finds a seat in the corner away from others to to eat his meal.

The small figure carefully picks up his empty bowl.
Then with a small skip launches himself into the air.
After a minute the creature lands on the table close to Anita Drake and Leroy du Lac plates.
In a graceful, flowing single movement it sits down with it empty bowl in its lap.
It also has a small scroll which it gets out of its pocket.
It looks up a little nervous smile on it's face.  Looking between Anita and Leroy waiting.

Rosewood looks hopefully at Leroy du Lac.
I am new to the lands of humans and I am not sure how this guild thing works.
This scroll clearly proves I am a member of the guild and that I am skilled in magical lore.
It is even signed by the head of the Arcane chapter.

Rosewood looks down at his bowl.
The thing is a pixie alone in this big people lands is likely to get squashed if he is not careful.
From what I can make out, both of you are guild members looking for work.
That you may be looking to create a team together.
I was hoping you may require someone with my type of skills to join you?


He looks back up to them.
I am sorry if this is not how I should go about finding a group of adventures to join but my experience of humans is limited.


OOC:-
The little creature come across with an odd mixture of uncertainty and confidence.  He is clearly not shy or reserved as one may have expected.  There is a confidence in him that make you feel he will not run at first the sign of danger.  He is clearly however having to deal with an environment and situation he not very familiar with.


The pixie is also wearing a  small numbered, sigil marked tin badge like each of you wear as members of the guild. The bagdges you wear are traceable by the seeker spell, as they are inscribed with a mystic mark.

Then the reality of the question she ask hit him.
He looks down at his bowl again.
He frowns at it.  Shaking his head.
My older cousin is a very, very important Pixie in the royal court.
I err.  Well I did something to upset him and that upset the rest of the royal court.
It was an accident.  I did not mean to do it.  I not a dark Pixie.  I never will be.
But I was.  How do I put it.  Asked to leave.

He looks up at her.  His face is very sad.
If I become a Hero and learn more magic.  I hope one day I will find a way to do something that allow me to return.  I am sure.

In answer to your question on what I can do.  I will show you went we not in such a crowd place.  But I have study the effects of light to a good degree.  I can make an item glow with good amount of light for a few days.
I can make people look fuzzy so they are harder to hit.
I can at a push make myself disappear from sight.

If need I can defend myself against a mad axe swing dwarf or orc and hurt them.

The only thing that did make sense was the advice that Rosewood would be better of not working with any fray for the time being.   So a group of big people he was with was the best option for the pixie at the moment.

Note that there are clients that would prefer some, or all of those er, qualities, and there are clients who would object to persons affected by those conditions.  I can surmise that most of you would work for three silvers a day?"

Ooc: 3 silvers, or $60 is the going rate for 125pt characters. 62 point characters get paid $30 !a day, and 250 point characters get paid $120 a day. Poor characters work for less than that, and there are cheap clients who offer less than usual.

As long as I am paid same as everybody else I am happy.

"Well, I am as honest as the next man, perhaps more so." Wiley quips, as a sahudese copper piece appears in his hand, which he starts to flip across his knuckles almost unconsciously. "But it sounds like what you need are simple guards, or perhaps you are looking for someone to infiltrate the group, identify the key players and eliminate them?" he asks, leaning forward "If that is the case I would expect more than standard pay..."

We need just a little more than guards, just to maybe follow these spitefull goons back to their gathering space and give them what for. My folk don't have much recourse to the faiey courts, and we tried to get assistance from the gendarmes, but Le Fleur said he was there for the true citizens only. Admittedly, some of us came through the gate over in Hyacinth's Hoofbeats, but this is our home, and there is really nowhere else to go."

Wiley shows a little discomfort when Maddo mentions he is tight on funds, and he thinks a bit about this job..

"Master Maddo, Have you thought this through? Violence has a way of escalating at times. While we might nip this in the bud straightaway there is also a possibility that actions against these miscreants will draw more people to their side and escalate the violence, necessitating an increased response on your and our part. In other words this could get expensive if these bullies are made of sterner stuff than we might hope. Are you ready for that?"

You'll get the hang of it, Rosewood. You should be more careful though, because if you startle someone, they may swat you, before realizing what, and who you are."

And you have stand that distance away from each other unless your sitting with someone.

Rosewood looks back at Leroy du Lac.
He seems a little sad.
So no sneaking up behind someone and tickling their.  He pauses trying think of best part of large creature to tickle. Ears.
The pixie put a hopeful smile on his face.

He then turns to Renolan.  Making sure he a good distance from him.

Like most homes in town, there are terra cotta tiles on the roof, but in poor disrepair.

Accross the way and down the lane, you spot the sign of the Wastrel's Hope,  a hand reaching into an empty coin purse with a torn seam.

The little fairy tries to settle down and tries to talk slowly.

I found.  I followed them.  I know where they are.
He then collects himself and tries to speak again.

I followed the 3 humans.  They move to a place a little way away.
They went down into a basement of a place called Rathskellar.
It has a "Stolz Blut" that shows a red drop with a crown on the sign.
Several others enter the place after them.   Mostl where Aralaise males.
I did see one blonde female.

I decided to return to the group after a little while of watching from a safe place.  To tell you what i found.
I could have tried to get inside but there are limits to my magic and I thought it was best to let you know what I found.  Better than trying get inside  and getting trapped in the basement them alone.

When Rosewood came through earlier, there looked to be about half a dozen of the rough looking fellows, including the injured one, plus the blond woman.

The broadsheet seems to have been printed from a fine woodcut, and says

THEY ARE UNNATURAL AND MUST BE STOPPED!

Rosewood looks at notice.
He reads it over and over again.
Turning around to the others he scratches his head.

Don't they know that humans are sup species of the Fae?
That we all related.  That why two humanoids of any time can have children.

Frowning at the contents of what he'd read, Leroy removes the handbill, folds up, and keeps it, as it may be useful "evidence", later...
"I feel we can burst in on them, and confront them here, in their den. What say the rest of ye? Rosewood can turn invisible, and sow chaos and mischief, as we take them, and any more evidence we may find within, into custody. These are clearly evil people, with murderous intent. Steel yourselves, my friends... What we find within isn't bound to be pleasant.."

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 266):

Rosewood vanishes from sight. From this side of the building, there is the front door, which jangles a bell when opened, and the barred window, which you could fit through if not for the shutters. There may be a rear entrance, but you don't know where it would be.

Leroy slinks down  the steps, which lead to a 4 foot wide landing that also passes in front of the window. (So 3 yards by 4 feet  about 1 foot, 1 yard window, 1 foot, yard wide door, 1 foot, the door can swing open and just miss the stairs.)

This entrance is a choke point, and while that would make it dangerous for you to enter, those leaving face the same problem, especially  since they are facing up a flight of stairs... the spot Leroy in is not the best, as he could quickly be cornered... anyone opening the door in the other direction would be in a tight spot, but could not be attacked by anyone not above ground (safe from tjose on the other side of the door).

This is not a job for tougher people from the guild. This is now.

After that, Leroy smiles sheepishly, closing his eyes a moment.
He then turns and exits.

01:32, Today: Leroy du Lac rolled 5 using 3d6.  overconfidence ~ (11 or less).
Leroy knows if he can keep the high ground, he'll have the advantage. He looks for anything such as rain barrels, he can overturn down the stairwell, and onto his adversaries, to hinder their advancement! Failing that, he won't hesitate to flee! He might be sure of himself, but even he wouldn't be fool enough to take on a whole building, especially as the only melee combatant.

Leroy takes this as his cue to leave, before he gets caught up in an angry mob, all by his lonesome. He wasn't crazy, or stupid, and his confidence had it's limits. Today had certainly sent a message, as he had found it necessary to kill a man. It was definitely time to leave!

With his coif up, he looks like an attractive pure human, for his tell-tale pointed ears, cannot be seen, and those who have seen him moments ago, are now incapacitated or dead.

Leroy tries to blend in, but stands out, and doesn't know the area.
gritting his teeth, as he hears them close in, he looks for a suitable choke point, in an alleyway, preferably on high ground, where he can make his stand.  It seems he will be fighting alone, after all...

Being unfamiliar with the area, Leroy is unable to predetermine any battleground. He settles for brazenly entering anyplace convenient, be it a stables, or even a tavern or shop. He would not be taken alive, and whatever carnage ensued, would at this point, have to be sorted out later. He was looking for a two story or higher building that adjoined another. If he entered a building with multiple escape routes, he could possibly ascend one floor, and climb out a window onto a roof, or an adjoining building, to make good his escape. Or perhaps reduce the number of foes he'd have to face at a time.
Leroy thought, as he prepared for battle.

Make two climbing rolls to get accross the rooftops and down, then shadowing (IQ-5 or stealth-2) to make your way back unseen. You have a 5 second headstart on Leroy, and 15 on the purists, although that breaks even by the time you get off the roof... stealth to not get noticed.

Your just a load of losers who cannot find a girlfriend for yourself so you all go running after some little floozy and she got you rapped around her finger.
What you going to do when someone with brains and looks comes along and take her away from you?
Have meetings where you all cry into your beers and talk about how great it was when she was around.
One day she will move on and have no use for your little group.  Your pathetic, your being manipulated and your to stupid to see it.


Then he needs to keep the Purist from attacking the others he shoots another bolt at it.  Rosewood has not interest in hurting the man physically more than he need to.

OOC:
This action will take time.  Rosewood is keeping this Purist occupied so others have time deal with other two.
18:59, Today: Rosewood rolled 3 using 1d6-3.  More Pixie dust.

Having lost his shit, the purist in the alley heaves his club at Rosewood and misses horribly.

The first purist on Leroy swings and misses, and takes a hit to the torso.

The second one swings at Leroy and hits solidly- dodge, parry or take 7 crushing before DR.

Rosewood flys over to the roof a little way from the Purist.
It also away from the other group.
He tries to pick one that would be possible to climb up to but would be hard and take time.

Lets see how good you are.  Can you capture a pixie, I think not.
I sure if you do and give it to your little floozy she give you big kiss for capturing the nasty little pixie.  You may even because one of her favorites.
But your not that good are you.
Your going to have tell her how you bravely ran away from the nasty little pixie.

However me move back little by little keeping safe distance until Purist is up fully on the roof.  If the purist goes get up there then Rose will make his next move.

OOC:
Rosewood is enticing the purist to get up on roof but keeping careful distance.
If he get up on roof fully then I make rosewoods next post.

I kept him busy until you dealt with the others.
He was not a very nice creature.  But that was quick and deadly of you.
I hope I never have to do anything like that.  But the world beyond my home seems harder and far more brutal than my home.  I really don't like it.  It is a nasty place.

As the group sits down with their drinks they find the little Pixie is not his normal self.  His happy light-hearted nature has gone for now.
He has not flown up to his high spot like before.
He is in fact walking or more pacing up and down the table they have their drinks on.
Hands behind his back and very very dark look on his face.
He looks up at.
Thankyou for the use of the Leroy express! It was most welcome after my fight with that man.  Using magic is very tiring.
He walks up and down again few times and then turns to the group.
These Purist.  They are not very nice people right.
You killed them without a thought.  You don't seem to care if they live or die.

He stops for a moment thinking deeply as if deciding something.
They not going to sue for peace.  I think they will pick up the gauntlet and try to shove it down our throats.  She would not care.  It would not be in her nature.  In fact she would love to see as much blood run as possible.  She would find pleasure in it.

"Well... you got inside, and got a good look. If she is such, then perhaps there's some magic or demonic sway over these people, making them do her bidding. That's the work for a priest, methinks.

She sort of Fay.  But the same way a flesh eating cannibal witch that leads a tribe of savages is human.  If that make any sense.
She clearly controlling them using magic but she directing them in way they want to go anyway.  She delights in pain and blood.  She be just as happy for it to be one of the purist as any other creature.

No it one of the creature I think I tried not to study.  They are just so horrible.

Rosewood looked a Leroy du Lac.  Surprised he did not get it.

What do you think twenty or more angry stupid men are going to do to to every fay and every pretty young female that they think trying to charm them after they see they been fooled.
They are going to be so angry when they know they been taken for fools.
When they realize they lusted after something that looks as ugly as her in her true form.  Imagine how you feel if you woke up after good night out to find the fattest, ugliest, foul breathed, blackened teeth seventy year old woman had drugged you and had her way with you that night.  As you wake up she still there wanting more.
They will go on a witch or fay hunt.  Trying to hurt every fay or every pretty young female human they come across calling them witches.
They may even turn on older females as well.  They will have to punish someone.
They are not strong enough of mind to walk away.
They will have to make someone pay for making them into fools.
They will be ten time worse.

I'm up for a good fight, but to murder all these men, doesn't seem right to me, especially if they're in the sway of a greater evil. We should indeed see if she has a lair somewhere, track her there, and hopefully kill her there, when she is alone."

There is no written name, but the woodwork is elaborately carved, and the metal, where seen is all bronze; there is no iron to be seen.
You can hear several instruments playing; panpipes, a hautbois, a lute, and a harp. there is the sound of dancing and clapping as well.

Within, there are a variety of odd yet oddly familiar folk. Some have pointed ears, a few are small and winged, some have goat legs. One of the musicians is a faun, one a bat faced goblin, one an elf of some kind, and one is an incredibly good looking man who is hard to look at, yet fascinating at the same time.

Rosewood is silent for a time.
He is very very reluctant to say what the creature was.  Or what he think it was.

Just before the group get to the tavern.  He says in a low voice.

I think it was a Swamp Hag.  I not seem one close up before but.
From the books I studied.  That want it seemed to be.


Rosewood is not very comfortable with going into the tavern and tries to say behind Leroy du Lac and out of site.  He clearly tries to keep away from anything that looks like another pixie.

Rosewood flies down to the bar.
He bows to the Faun.
I am Rosewood Dustweaver.  If the names mean anything to you then yes I can do that to pixie dust.  If my name means nothing that all the better.

Rosewood shuts his eyes and breaths heavy.
I manages to get into the purists meeting without them seeing me.
The group was made up of lots of stupid human males lead by what I think human call beauty girl.
She was the one that was directing them and organizing them.
They seems totally under her control.
I looked at her shadow and to my surprise it was not human.
It was clearly fay.  So female fay was behind this.
On a closer look it was the shadow of a swamp hag.
It seems the fowl creature is trying to take revenge on the fay by using humans to do her bidding.

He opens his eyes.
Oh and I am waiting for my true dust mate.  I know most fay think that it is stupid idea but I don't care.   I have dust mate and I waiting for her.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 522):

You realize that Leroy has just indebted himself to Hyacinth, and will garner a negative reputation, and possibly ill luck if he doesn't aid her in some way in the near future.
You also recognize that the type of hag being described does not quite match the fey thst you saw, and will be quite intractable in her home environment.  Bringing an offering as a gift, freely given, with no expectation of an exchange of favors is inclined to indebt the faerie.  Also, bringing iron into her domain is automatically hostile.

It should take half an hour to get to the city limits, it might take several hours to find a honeycomb; you get 1 roll per hour. The swamp of the hag is to the east of the city, the best place to find ho eycomb within the city is on Temple Hill to the west, although an offering at the nearest shrine would be a good idea.

To clarify, to get intervention from the fey, you would need to be recognized. To deal with this rabble rouser on your own, you need only catch up with her and her bully boys.

Faerie, you gather, has two main factions, the Seelie or Summer Court, which involves itself in Mortal affairs, and the Unseelie, or Winter Court, which could not care less about the mortal world.

Rosewood is very quiet for a time then speaks.

From my understanding, Fae that are iron averse are vulnerable to star metal- meteoric iron. Some get sick from it, others take extra damage. Meteoric iron is antimagical.

(quote from GM after my roll on issues).

He looks up at Leroy du Lac.  A sad look on his face.
I am but a young fairy Leroy.  I do not wish to upset or insult you.  A man of your expericne and understanding.  However I think it may help if I explain how most fay in the summer court see half fay and humans.

One that lived 20 miles from here.  It lived last summer for 6 weeks and died of old age.  Adding a small amount off honey to it's hive about the size of it own body.
How much effect would that bee have had on your life?


Rosewood then has another thought.

If it is not a rude question.  How many summers have you seen my friend?

Rosewood smiles at Leroy du Lac.  He does frown for a moment then seems to resolve some sense of confusion in his head.
You understand then that most fay do not count summers as they lose count.
We fairies do as we have a limit life span compared to other true fay.
I am only 45 summers old.  Very young.  So your nearly twice as old as I am.
  He nods
Just as I expected.
(clearly Rosewood has clearly misheard Leroy du Lac and made 18 into 80 to fit his perception of Leroy).

I did not wish you to waist your time trying to achieve something only few half-fay have ever done.  Make a name for themselves in the summer court.  To many have tried and waited their lives doing so.
I hope that is alright.


Rosewood turns to Anita Drake.

Rosewood decide to speak up.

I do have an idea.  One that would course confusion and hopefully put stop to the cult and limit the damage done.
What if we found our own illusionist or found a human that looks like Maudwyn.
Study what the first Maudwyn does and says.
Then use our own Maudwyn to course confusion and infighting within the group.
Maybe even course a split into two groups that fight each other.
If our Maudwyn is human then we can expose the true one as fake by dispelling her magic.

I am not sure if this can be done.  I don't have illusionist magic.  Sorry.

Just a thought of stupid fairy.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 646):

You could find a way to present to either court, considering that you have engaged with and exchanged favors with one of each faction so far.

You managed to dispose of several of Maudwyn's goons without significant injury, and could do something like follow her, or deal with the purists as they harrass your clients.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 647):

"I am not particularly in favour of courting the courts. My uncle courted a human court, and it cost him his life. Better to just deal with the ones harrassing our client until this two-faced bitch looses patience and does something that will allow us to expose her. Then just deal with her. We may be part fey, but we are also part human, so why waste our lives trying to be something we are not. Live in our owns skin, I say, and deal with these pigs in the human way.

Until then, do you know anyone who might know how our regular crossbow bolts go against these nasty fey?

Re: New in Town

It seem this was not the best thing to say to Rosewood.

The little fairy eyes flared.  Turning a very dark Gothic purple.

Yes.  He says.  And only way to deal with them is to hit them hard with fairy dust.

Rosewood waves his hand in anger and Anita Drake cup of drink goes flying off he table at hit by bolt of fairy dust.

Rosewood then realize what he done and puts a hand to his mouth.
Oh.  Sorry.  I.  I am sorry.  I buy you another one.  I sorry Anita.
The little fairy looks up at Anita.

OOC:
Sorry Anita.  I rolled a random number to see who cup got hit.

Re: New in Town

OOC:

Hi.  Yes I understand the mistake the over player posting in the wrong character.
However it has played into Rosewood issues.
When I was talking to the other fairy I was sorting out the back story and decided that the reason why Rosewood had ended up creating a fairy dust bolt was to deal with two leprechaun that kept messing his beloved library in fay land up.
Moving books around.  Writing rude things in them.
But nobody really believed.  They did it in such way that nobody but Rosewood really noticed.  It was all done to upset Rosewood.

This make Rosewood mad.   He had give the leprechaun a good smack and the only way do this was with pix dust.  Does this make sense?

With your permission I like to change the following.

Intolerance of Dwarves

to

Intolerance Leprechaun.  It was two Leprechaun that result in fairy dust bolts.

It then ties things up nicely.  Is that ok.

It also fits with Rosewood seeing the leprechaun, but nobody else does.

Noticing Rosewoods face, Anita adds

"Sorry about this, but these are no innocent bystanders. If there were any innocent folk among them, they would have departed when we knocked a few of them off the perch, so any that come out to attack Leroy are far from innocent. We may be setting a trap, but they have to come out and attack to spring the trap. Any that remain peaceful will not come out, will not be attacked and will not get killed. We are setting up an ambush that will only work against people who are the aggressors, so even though it is an ambush, we are still defending ourselves. We are just planning our self defence well.

Actually, Leroy, my idea was to lift you to the roof, where they could not have large numbers, so you could kill neutralize them one or two at a time. But yes, we do need Leroy to agree. But he might not want to be outnumbered on the ground either.

How much are caltrops, and where can we get a bunch of them?

Could me not set it up so only 2 can attack Leroy du Lac and Gordab at a time.
Also set up some rope to help the human try to climb up to get us.

Re: New in Town

In reply to Marcus Blackthorn (msg # 728):

Your proposed location is a T shaped Alley that deadends on the right (east)side of the T, so there is an exit west and south. The southern passage is narrower (4 yards west-east, 1 yard wide south). Laying caltrops along the sides of the wide area can limit entry to single file, doing the same the narrow way would block it.

They cannot deal with a powerful male pixie and have to run back to get a girl to protect them.  Your just pawns of the fay.  Run back and hide in the petticoat of the girl of illusion and serve the winter court if you cannot see the truth.

Re: New in Town

Rosewood seems to be messing around doing something.
Then he pulls out two little boxes from what must be a pocket.
Which are hard for anybody to see.
Oh I forgot about these.
The boxes have a sun symbol on them.
The little fay waves his hand over it.  Pixie dust falls on the boxes.
I think we need to change that. Rosewood says
The box now has two leafs of it.  One a red maple, the other a gold one.

He looks at Leroy du Lac.
Itching powder.

Leroy was very amused by fay practical jokes. After all, being a good sport about them when done to you, and an appreciation of them in general, were a cornerstone of good fay-human relations. "If those little boxes will affect big groups of people, that'll be helpful and funny to watch...C'mon! Let's go make some firebombs!"

Excellent! You relocate to an areatwo blocks away,where a wagon canbe rolled to block an alley, and there is a shallow drainage ditch from a public pump leading to a drain to the sewers. Children.often play in.it, but it makes for bad footing for someone charging past it.
One entrance is 3 yards wide, two are two yards wide and one barely a yard wide; the wagon is 2 yards wide and can block any of the entrances except the widest.
The shield wall works well only when three yards accross, the turtle can work at 2 yards wide.

Caltrops are used to limit approaches ... like blocking the other entryways, or narrowing the main one so that people in formstion have to break formation to get through and clear them. Trying to scatter them from a rooftop doesn't  properly soread them to effect. If the enemy turns and runs, you have boni to hit them; if they have to break a shield wsll and either come single file or risk injury that is better; blocking retrest of a shield wall guarantees they will charge you.
