After finishing up at the ShadyLady, the stalwart crew that disposed of the threat of Balar now regroup in the guild, after arranging rooms.

Argis sits by himself, in a corner where he can watch everyone in the room.  He absently tosses his dagger up in the air every so often, catching it by the hilt (most of the time).  At one point he does miss, narrowly avoiding the blade, and the dagger clatters to the floor.  He scowls, and puts it in it's scabbard, then starts flipping a copper instead.

In reply to Aegis (msg # 2):

The server with the brass knuckles who works for the ogrekin approaches.
" What's up Aegis?"

Darius sat close by, his staff leaning against the wall besides him. He was scribbling something in a small journal; those who'd come closer would see spidery writing and sketched maps. As the server approached Aegis, he spared a small glance upwards, but was soon writing again and only listened in with half an ear.

In reply to Darius Kopaki (msg # 4):

"Are you folks looking for something that needs a little discretion, maybe?"

“I’m already bored.  Let’s do another job.”

Dne relaxes, but keeps one bird eye open.  He also likes to keep an eye on his chums.

In reply to Madeline (msg # 5):

"I can be discreet. Not sure about the others though."

Aegis grunts as much as anything else in response to Madeline, then responds.  "I kill stuff.  They do the discreet things..." as he gestures to the rest of the group around him.  He then leans back in his chair, and takes a nice long pull from the large drought of ale in front of him.  He'd gone with something a bit stronger after their success with Balar.  Quite simply, he had enough coin to sleep it off upstairs if he needed to.

In reply to Aegis (msg # 9):

"Someone poisoned the Mageguild representative, which is not in itself bad thing, but they are sending agents to investigate... it would be ideal if they... were unsuccessful. Several paries would be pleased if they... withdrew their attentions."

Aegis leans back in his chair and takes another long pull from his ale.  He can barely control his mirth, and doesn't want anyone to see the large smile crossing his face.  The very idea of this group messing with the mage's guild was hilarious.  He could only imagine how much chaos would ensue.  People might get killed, stuff might get burned...  The whole idea just seemed like it would be a lot of fun.

Once he could control the smile on his face, Aegis responds "Soonds lik fun."

In reply to Aegis (msg # 11):

Anyone with Thaumatology can make a base IQ roll regarding knowledge of the Mageguild, which nominally has an office in the Merchants Quarter to vend and regulate alchemical ingredients, potions, and occasional scrolls and magic items, although mostly they will cast spells for pay.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 12):

"I can use holy magic to be convincing...but why would I if they are investigating a murder? The victim did die, right?"

"Just because the victim died, doesn't mean he can't answer questions," Darius said. He sat down next to Aegis, a choice he immediately regretted given the alcoholic smell emanating from him. He closed his eyes, as much for shutting out their environment as to to recalling what he knew of the mage guild. If only he'd paid more attention to the organization and doings of those with less elegant magical abilities.

“I hope I never die, then.  Some questions I might not like, especially if I was busy being dead.”

Aegis laughs heartily at this, combined with a belch.  Overall, the explosion of mirth from his mouth causes small droplets of ale and drool to shower everyone in front of him.

Either Aegis doesn't notice, or could care less.

Instead, he responds with a rather large and somewhat sadistic looking smile.  "Weesh I cud see dat fer meselv.  Got lotsa secrits ta shere.  Luv to sea da luks on peeples' faces."

The thought of that kind of chaos just makes him smile a little more.  The ability to get back at all the people who wronged him even after death...  Well, that was something he could drink to, and so he does.

'BRRRRRAAAAAP'

He feels much better after a second belch.

"I didn't say he was dead, he was poisoned and became an idiot."

"An idiot?" He smiled. "How could they tell?"

Darius leaned back, then noticed a small droplet of hopefully-ale on his sleeve. "Unfortunately, curing stupidity turns out to be more difficult than curing death."

He wiped the droplet away, then turned his attention back to Madeline. "Since replacing such a representative is always possible, there's probably just three reasons they'd poison him. Personal issues, a statement, or a temporary advantage for a rival of the guild. Do you know anything of the latter?"

Dne gazes curiously at Aegis.  “What type of accent is that?  I don’t recognize it.  Did you just make it up, by chance?”

Aegis chortles.  Loudly.  Then he offers some ale to the bird man from his tankard.

There is a considerable amount of drool on the rim, some of which has dried there.

In reply to Darius Kopaki (msg # 18):

"Let's just say I know someone who likes to brag, and unfortunately could be traced back to persons who would rather not incur interest from the guild. If you don't want to fight the guild, you might have to eliminate those links."

In reply to Madeline (msg # 21):

"So, what do you really want from us, and why, other than cash, should we risk the wrath of the mages guild?"

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 22):
"Cash is the primary thing my client is offering, but if you want a point or two of income from his buissnesses, that can be arranged. A certain amount of alchemical trade goids can be provided as well, paut, healing, or flying potions, maybe others."

In reply to Madeline (msg # 23):

"And they basically want us to make the more determined investigators disappear or get distracted, right? Do they know who these individuals are?"

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 24):
"The investigators should be hitting town in about a week. If you'd rather tangle with the witnesses, you need to see the client."

In reply to Madeline (msg # 25):

"Wait, the investigators have not arrived? What would happen if they were...waylaid by bandits and never got here? Can you provide a description of them and how they are getting here?"

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 26):

"Didn't we just deal with bandits, and now you want us to become assassins?"

Melchizedek clearly does not feel comfortable where this is going.

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 27):

As a servant of good, the Idea is not appealing to the Sun-priest, although he can always opt against this particular job, whearas the more morally gray members of the team can continue to pursue this. There are other ways a celestial cleric can find work.

“Do them in before they reach town?  Sounds like a plan.  Smart.”

“My powers work best outdoors.”  He chuckles, as he continues to ignore the proffered tankard.

"I dunna kere wha choose ya go wit.  Coin end werk er gud enuf fer meh."

“Coin is good enough for meh too.”

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 32):

"Mel, I am sure there are some good folk who need assistance. We are not going to be bandits or assassins, we are just stopping an investigation. If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you go and have something to eat or drink?"

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 33):

Melchizadek frowns. This group was not going where a good person would feel comfortable.

"You will have to justify your actions before your gods one day. I might just do as you suggest, and attend to the poor..."

He heads outside to help some of the many poor who are not well, as much for his own conscience as for any other reason.

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 34):

Ooc: Melchizidek's god is Helios, effectively Appollo, a god of sinlight, song, good, and healing. Neutral to Chaotic good, for those who use that parlance. Judgy, prudish, and concerned with burning bodies he is not.
Neither the god, or the character as written. Breathe. If attacking the oppressive hotbed of sorcery and its minions are not for him, there are other groups; this setting is designed for West Marches style play, where groups form and reorganize.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 35):

OOC: Yeah, IC I figured this was not a good mission for him. Assassination is not exactly a good aligned thing. But as the player I am all cool...also playing Reanna! Happy for him to find another group...his grumpyness with an assassination is purely IC! He would have other ways of doing it, but they are not very compatible with the hack and slash of the rest of the group!

Darius looked after Melchizidek leaving, a slight smile on his lips. "Despite our very... different outlooks," he said, "and despite my disagreements with the Mage Guild, there are things I will not do." He looked around the table. "Do not take this as anything more than a personal limit. I will not hinder or betray you. And, indeed, I wish you success in that task. I just will not join."

He bowed slightly before saying goodbye and leaving towards the main guild hall.

In reply to Darius Kopaki (msg # 37):

That leaves Aegis, Masugatan, Dne, and Reanna interested. You may also recruit from the guildhall, or any other available  characters...

OOC Aegis cares about money and drink.  Where or how he earns his money...not so much.  Pretty much the definition of callous. 

In reply to Aegis (msg # 39):
While we wait for walk-ins, it would be a good time to spend points, and  also pay 1 week if Cost of living to get rested, and get gear in order. (A bath, weapin sharpening,  armor repair, clothes cleaned and mended, etc.)

OOC DF has Cost of Living on p65.  Average wealth is $1000 for the week.  On it boss.

Since there was no objection, I'll spend the character points as well.

OOC: Cost of living is $1000/week?  Yikes.

This message was deleted by the player at 11:27, Thu 28 Nov 2019.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 42):

Cost of living is $150 a week. Masugatan, if employed as a caravan guard or ahem, collections and debt enforcement agent, would, at his point level make $60 per day. A common guard makes $30, leaving them to work 6 days if they want to do more than break even. A 250 point character makes $120/day and barely needs to work in order to break even.

Ah.  That’s better.

OOC  Well, Aegis won't know what to do with the $935 he will get as a refund.

He has the Pirate's code of honor, so maybe some....booty.

In reply to Aegis (msg # 46):

That goes into your carousing budget. Buying potions and upgrading weapons are always an option; if you are doing this anti-mageguild action, some specialty items might be worth pursuing...

What's the going rate for pirate booty?

In reply to Aegis (msg # 48):

Arrgh! Wooden leg or hook be extra.

Simple temporary company is a silver. Wierd shit can be up to 2 gold. Tell you what, make three carousing rolls and then spend 1d6 silver on things you can't talk about in polite company, and I will add some rumors and social entaglements to your character once he sobers up. A failed roll can end up either in a fight to the death (bloodlust will roll) over a spilled drink, or a heath roll vs a visit to a temple for a cure.

Generally I like to leave this in the dark, unless you want to drop points on an ally.

OOC  That's about 5 levels of funny there.  And I prefer to leave these things in the dark as well.  It does bring to mind a long list of "dad joke" level humor that is probably best left in the closet with my skeletons.

The whole ally thing...  How much 'help can Aegis get for 1 character point?  O would that be more of a "contact"...

In reply to Aegis (msg # 50):

Also wondering about what sort of Crossbow Reanna can afford...

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 51):

Probably fine.


Aegis spent enough time drinking hard that he doesn't clearly remember what happened, although he does recall one long conversation  with a wizard of some sort who had a dark beard but gray hair, and had star spangled robes, and kept playing cards by himself,  about the harsh policies of the guild preventing free exchange of knowledge, and a habit of taxing and harrassing practicioners who are non guild members, and price fixing on sales of potions and paraphanalia.


Investing in a contact, and eventually an ally works fine, as does "Favor" which could be used to build more as well. Drop 4 points, and you have a 62ish point ally that wont leave your side...

OOC  Aegis has found a working girl he likes.  I'll put in a character point towards a Contact.  She *might* like him back.  In fact, if she is interested in a sort of arrangement, he might even consider cohabitation or something like that.  Aegis is getting older, and would like at least the illusion of stability.

Now given that Aegis has...few redeeming qualities as a partner...  It would have to be more of a business arrangement.  Also, Aegis isn't the most stable of people to start out with, so it probably won't be entirely friendly.  But, it will give him a reason to come home...and likely a reason to run back out on another adventure the very next day.

Please let me know how much you would like me to provide, and how much you will supply from your side.

All paid up for the week.  Do seeds for munching cost extra?  (I’m assuming there is no discount for providing my own electricity.)

I’m paid up.  Ready to rock n’ roll.

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 51):

Reanna will enquire about a
1) Cornucopia Quarrel, 0.5 lbs. Current cost with changes?
2) Fine Balanced Crossbow, ST 11 (normally $1200)
3) Trading in Leather Vest for Giant Spidersilk Cloth Armour ($3,000, DR2*, 6 lbs, Torso, Groin) Can she order it, and then go earn extra cash to come back for it?
4) Trading in Good Quality Lockpicks for Fine Quality Lockpicks ($1000, 2 lbs)
5) Spider silk rope??

Other basic supplies purchased.
Canteen, $10, 3+2=5 lbs
Blanket  $20, 4 lbs
Tent 1 person $50, 5 lbs
Quick release backpack, $300, 3 lbs
Elven Rations $15, 0.5 lbs three meals.

Total Cash: $2590 after this.

Sell Baton...

File                1 lbs
Climbing Spikes     4 lbs
Grapnel             2 lbs
Candle, Beeswax     1 lbs
Alchemist's Matches 0.25 lbs

I should look at Aegis' skills and see if any equipment needs updating.  Did not think to do that, but he does suddenly have money.  See about that tonight or tomorrow.

In reply to Aegis (msg # 57):

Masugatan  could go for a little armor, I am sure.

A cornocopia quiver of standard bolts costs $2010, for fine bolts, +$4000

A piece of cloth torso armor has a base cost of $53 (neck, torso, groin), with sleeves, $78 before hitting it with the CF for silk, so that might ve slightly higher. The main value in this material is that you can stack it with thieves mail (or any other armor) without the associated penalty. (And it is hella lighter as well)
As per DFRPG, fighter types xan take Armor mastery for 5pts, which gives not only a removal of those penalties for stacking, it gives DR+1 if wearing armor with DR2 or better.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 58):

In that case Reanna will go for the regular Cornucopia Quiver, in addition to her other goodies...


Other basic supplies purchased.
Canteen, $10, 3+2=5 lbs
Blanket  $20, 4 lbs
Tent 1 person $50, 5 lbs
Quick release backpack, $300, 3 lbs
Elven Rations $15, 0.5 lbs three meals.
Cornucopia Quiver: Bolts, $2010,

Total Cash: $580 after this.

Sell Baton...how much does she get for this?

I have leather armor, DR 2.

OOC Aegis looks pretty well set up with equipment.  Going to let him settle for now and then look at upgrading once I have had him for an entire adventure.  That makes him ready to go whenever.

In reply to Aegis (msg # 61):

Does a Cornucopia Quiver that produces Bodkin Bolts cost extra? Can I also store regular bolts in the same quiver?

Edit: Also, can I purchase Rugged and/or Expensive gear (Expensive: CF +1, weight 2/3, not applicable to Weapons Armour. Rugged +1 CF, weight x1.2, +2 HT double DR, not applicable to Clothing, Weapons or Armour. Low Tech P14, as well as High Tech, Ultra Tech and a number of others.)
This message was last edited by the player at 02:44, Tue 17 Dec 2019.

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 62):

DF does not use rugged or expensive modifiers.
Cornocopia quivers hold one bolt and nothing can be put in them. You can get bodkin only for the same price.


Masugatan, you might want to upgrade from DR2, maybe replacing the leather for a DR5 cuirrass for $1890. It is, after all brigandine,  and you are very nearly a brigand. A helmet might help too.

https://drive.google.com/file/...17/view?usp=drivesdk

In reply to Narrator (msg # 63):

Cool. Thought I remembered something about that. Deanna will get a Bodkin Cornucopia quiver.

Brigandine is indeed for brigands.  Okay, I’ll take it for $1890, and to make the math easier I’ll also grab a fur loincloth for $10.  Never leave home without one.
This message was last edited by the player at 10:21, Mon 23 Dec 2019.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 65):

The brigandine  gives you DR 5 in the groin, torso, and neck area. A helmet wouldn't hurt either.

I’m current using a DR 2 leather skullcap.  Would you recommend something more heavy duty?

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 67):

Most folks with tactics who can see heavier torso armor than head will aim for the head.
DR 5 helm costs $450, an extra $180 for a visor ($360 for an intimidating one that would get you a +1 on intimidation, and -1 on other reactions)

Okay, I’ll take the helm along with an intimidating visor.  Even though I’m just a lowly street urchin, not Dreadnaught the Knight.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 69):

Still fits under a hood!

Reminds me of that old Henny Youngman joke about buying a new car in Sicily.  It came with a hood under the hood.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 71):

Possible tie-in with another group coming; the folks from the Abbey, so we can cut down on the number of NPCs.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 72):

Sounds like a plan. Should we take a roll call?

One electric beak present and accounted for.

Yo.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 75):

Present and available...

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 76):

Present and off to a mission...

I believe Razael is also here.

Present.  And, bitter.  Slightly inebriated.

In reply to Aegis (msg # 79):

Depends on the mission; are we up for "interfering" with the hostile members of the Mageguild?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 80):

Reanna is up for that.

Razael is not especially interested as he is looking for Demons to hunt.

Aegis doesn't much care where he goes as long as he gets paid.  Kinda in that "don't care if I live or die" place.

I second that emotion.

I third it!

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 85):

So you guys are with me in dealing with the mage guild guys?

Aegis has nothing better to do.  Well, drinking and ...other stuff, but he still needs work.

In reply to Aegis (msg # 87):

Trying to cut down on multiple characters in the same thread.

Stenet and Razael and Melchizidek  may have to find another job, and Christine can go either way, although Anita has the same player.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 88):

Christine is not big on assassinations. Mel can go to another player if it helps.

Stenet is not against killing mages.  However, he does try to hew on the legal side of the law.

Jednesa will go wherever Camilla says it's best to go (and Jednesa is as subtle as a brick through a window).

Absolutely.

Aye.  Count me in as well.

So Aegis, Masugatan/Dne and Reanna?

Ok. Recommending Dne buy Masugatan as an ally for 8, as that would resolve my two character issues, and I think they work well as a team.

That leaves Dareos, Stennet and or Jednesa, and Christine together.

Razael too

Pretty sure Dareos was indicating he was stepping back for a bit in msg #115 "Returned from the Abbey" thread.


Jednesa is happy to continue working with Christine, Christine never once asked her not to destroy something accidently.




Stenet would probably get along fine with a fellow demon hunter, even if it is a Wizard hunt.  Probably made pacts with demons.  Should definitely look into that with some hot pokers if necessary.

Well I am feeling a twitch of sorts toward temple hill ... but then I am already there w/ another character.

Ah im tew.
Beeeelch.

Get any on you?

Aegis has several bottles of fine Dwarven spirits.  He'll share if you come along.  :)

Why thanks, but no, not my thing...

8 character points?  Currently, I only have 6.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 101):

Will spot you two from Masugatan

Alrighty.  I spent the points I had and have listed Masugatan as an ally.

(I was going to spend them on battery-powered bird seed, golldarnit!)

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 103):

From this point Masugatan gains poi ts at 50% of yours, so as to stay in the same point ratio.

Is that really necessary?  It doesn’t seem fair.  He runs big risks, so shouldn’t he get the same reward?

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 105):

I am looking at cooperative character play. If Dne spends 6 more points, Masugatan would be raised up to 187...or at least the proportion of it, which is really around 194 at this point... if Dne drops 12 points,  if you are doing the equivalent of playing your own henchman, then it should be mechanically incorporated. I try to have players keep only one character per tnread if at all possible.

I'd prefer to split them up (and get my character points back) than bother with any of this.  I didn't originally intend for them to journey together, anyway.

OOC I'm going to guess all the people here have other characters to play, so not a huge deal if this thread sits a bit.  It may even be that this group needs to wait to fit in to the story line a bit.  Still, with that said...bump.

In reply to Aegis (msg # 108):

Do you want to follow the demon hunters over to the Hadereum?

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 109):

You could hop right in, or take on the mages. I need to catch up a bit.  Thank you for your patience.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 110):

All good. Who do we talk to about taking on the mages?

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 111):

I need to catch up before starting a thread; Madeline may know who to see, as would Camilla.  Let me settle some of the eleven threads I am running

In reply to Narrator (msg # 112):

Cool. We will bunch up and wait at the guild until then!

It's fine.  Aegis has booze and enough coin for working girls.  He's plenty happy to enjoy the spoils of their last run a few more days.

In case my guys need to split up, any preferences regarding which of them stays?  I’m running Masugatan and Dne.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 115):

Mage or sword...both needed, but going against the mage guild, perhaps the mage is needed more...

Technically, I’m an elementalist, not a mage.  But you may be right.

What's the difference bird brain?  (and you're a bird-person right?)

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 129):

I would advise against going into Veroigne. There is aenough going on there, especially with the group hired to kill the beast going off and ignoring it.

Who Us ???

In reply to Aethul (msg # 131):

yes. There was an enourmous beast running about the countryside and terrorizing the peasantry. y'all broke into a locked and abandoned castle you saw in the distance from the field with giant footprints and charred haystacks.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 132):

I thought the beast was in the castle...that is why we are looking here. It clearly did not remain in the fields...

Yeah, actually, I thought the insinuation was the castle too.  Did not recognize they were meant to be 2 separate observations, so to speak.

But then again, Balir is just a dwarf, he's much happier in the stonework anyway.

Ah for the want of a tracker...

Sure, if there’s a meat shield shortage in the vicinity.

Jednesa has all the meat necessary... what she lacks is 'discretion' and 'being normal size'.  So there's probably more than enough room for a regular sized meat thug to boop things on the head and make some money.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 137):

The aim is not to go randomly killing, but it does look like a side dish...just need a healer...

"Jednesa sad now..."

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 135):

Who isn't a Tracker... Speak for yourself.

Hah!  So you led them away from the deadly beast into the empty keep?  Excellent play, I commend ya!

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 139):

Don't worry friend, I calculate there will be plenty of beast that need killing. But they are calculated, not random...

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 141):

Doesn't seem so empty ... and there was some thought that the beast might be involved with the keep ... but we can drop everything and chase the slorn or whatever it is..

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 141):

You did have to get through s gate that was rusted shut and chained on the outside...

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 136):

Thought we lost you. Masugatan can go either way, with Christine or Anita

Works for me.  Besides, you seem like someone who can keep my character in line, which he obviously needs.

That whole ‘open classroom’ thing didn’t work on him.

Eternal flame and dragon wrasslin!

Aegis can be in or out.  He's plenty happy with his current activities, but I'm willing to bet a decent archer, even with his unsavory qualities, would be welcome...

This is my dragon.  There are many like it but this one is mine.

With jednesa and Masugatan accompanying Christine, Aegis should back up Rheanna and Dne.


I will ask if there any other takers,
 and suggest some healers.

If only we could get Gareth.  Aegis would have no issue with his particular view on things, as long as things didn't get creepier than he himself is.  That allows for a lot of license...

In reply to Aegis (msg # 156):

Lol, he will be back, and probably looking for a new crew given his current popularity!

Just give me some superglue and duct tape.  General Hospital, eat your heart out!
