Dock the 8fp

In reply to Narrator (msg # 496):

8 fp?

[Private to GM: For a one point curse, it should be 3-2(Skill) fp according to Magic, and 10-8(skill) for a 2 point curse. That is the reason she is only going a one point curse...1 fp already docked.]

Mancini changes his demeanor when he realized the fountain cleaner was being uncooperative. He lengthens his body and takes on a more fierce persona. "Answer my questions. Who are you really working for and what are you doing for them. Do not think of crossing me, or I can make you life a living hell. "

19:19, Today: Mancini rolled 8 using 3d6.  Intimidation 14.

In reply to Mancini (msg # 498):

The man swallows.
"I work for me. The Hadereum pays me to clean pipes and scoop out fountains. I do things for myself, cause ain't ayo e gonna do fer me unless I do it myself.  Some things in trade,sure, but Remy works fof Remy."



Occ, thought curse cost the same as bless. How inexpensive!

Mancini analyzes what the man says and evaluates it for possible lies.


16:15, Today: Mancini rolled 13 using 3d6.  Detect Lies 13.

Roll passes.

In reply to Mancini (msg # 500):

There is a faint flicker about "things in trade," but the man believes he is not working on behalf of anyone but himself.

"No one works only for himself, monseiur.  A goblin selling baked apples and roasted nuts from a cart owned free and clear still works for those he buys the fruit from and whoever he pays for his working space, as much as for the family he supports.

"The Hadereum pays you, you work for them.  If you support a son or daughter, you work for them as well.  And if you agreed to provide a favor to the keeper of an odd shop that wasn't there the day before or the day after, in return for something you couldn't afford in coin, you work for him.

"What did that shopkeeper ask of you, that's all we want to know."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 502):

"How about you shush yourself?"

[Private to Ardenas Barehand: make a HT roll or be quiet.]

He tires, He slams his foot into the man's knee from the rear, while pushing him down and puts his knife to the Mans Throat.

Dalk or Die fool.

[Private to GM:  13:09, Today: Oly rolled 15 using 3d6.  Brawling.  Skill 15
13:09, Today: Oly rolled 8 using 3d6.  Fast draw Knife.  Skill 15 ]

Ardenas makes a sound like coughing up a cherry pit.

"I see how it is."

He closes with du Fontaine, and aims a punch at the man's face, but misses.

[Private to GM: 18:51, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 9 using 3d6. HT 11
18:57, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 13 using 3d6.  Karate (15 -5 to face).]

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 505):

Seeing discussions not going well, Aoife calls a friend...

[Private to GM: Summon Ally...Anaconda. Rolled 9 if roll needed.]

In reply to Aoife (msg # 506):

Kalima brandishes her spear at the prone man's chest
"What did this one do?"

In reply to Kalima (msg # 507):

Aoife tries to speak once her reptilian friend has arrived, indicating to Kalima that she has been silenced magically when she is unable.

When does that wear off?

"I don't take kindly to hostile magic, monsieur.  However, Master Albreth schooled against taking life recklessly, so let me explain something.  Whatever you're using to shush people, you got it by owing a favor to demons.  We can't let you off that hook, but if we must, we'll kill you to prevent you following through -- and the more you use that power, the more likely we'll feel we must."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 509):

<royalers>"This one may not be a demon, butif he serves them, we can see how much of a taint he bears."</royalred>

She cuts him on the arm and the wound seems like any other wound, without the black smoke that infernal creatures leak.

"Aloysius- lay your hands upon him and beg the divine to heal him!"

In reply to Kalima (msg # 510):


The infernal acolyte complies.
"By the Most Holy Trinity, may your wound be healed!"
The wound remains unhealed, and the priest wrinkles his brow.
"This man is beyond the aid of the Three who are One... he has done something that has rendered him excommunicated from the sacraments!"

In reply to Aloysius the Undamned (msg # 511):

Can Aoife direct her Anaconda yet? She wants it to wrap around hit to stop him fleeing...and as further intimidation to get him to talk...

"He has been defiling the holy water fountain. Imagine how many bodies could not be sanctified before being buried."

Ardenas crouches over the fountain cleaner, with a fist drawn back (silver knuckleduster gleaming), and begins to inhale, his face a mask of concentration.

[Private to GM: First turn of concentration for Power Blow -- skill penalty -10, reduces one per turn.]

I kin make 'im dead quicker if'n ya wand.

In reply to Aoife (msg # 512):

Ooc you have 5 more seconds of silence.

The fountain cleaner, held down and wounded, tries to pull away from the spear and fist.

ST roll Oly?

In reply to Remy du Fontaine (msg # 516):

Fortunately summoning her Ally Anaconda was not a verbal thing. How long does it take to arrive?

In reply to Remy du Fontaine (msg # 516):

[Private to GM:  16:06, Today: Oly rolled 9 using 3d6. ST.  By 3]

Ardenas continues inhaling and concentrating.

In reply to Oly (msg # 518):

"Cease your struggling, malefactor. Or you will surely face your doom. We all suspect that you have defiled the holy water font, but you need to confess your crimes! You need to confess. Even I was forgiven. Your state of grace is between you, the Church, and the Holy Trinity.

Your punishment in this life, however, is between yourself and these agents of the Hadereum, excepting the lesser divinity with the spear at your throat. I think she is less forgiving than even the church of Hades."
