Anita assists him as he explains it.

[Private to GM: Rolled 3 under skill.]

"So, we brought 'em 'ere, they put bags o'er their 'eads, and put them in an enchanted room, where it's cold.. If we bring the bouncer some rabbits, some honeycomb,or offer some mead...and leave our iron and steel at home, when we return, I've a feeling it'll be a good turn."

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 364):

"And if we don't, do they eat them?" she asks hopefully.

"I'm thinking it were more a nod towards management...As for those poor sods, Who knows what the Folk have in store for 'em... I was hoping they would get them drunk on bad wine, pull some faerie pranks on them, then send them off with some charms on them..."

make a faerie lore roll each of you; Rosewood at +2

13:51, Today: Leroy du Lac rolled 11 using 3d6.  Savoir Faire (Faerie) ~ 12.
Leroy gets some insight...

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 368):

Anita is not trained in such hidden lore...

I take it that +2 make my chance less right?

OOC:
22:13, Today: Rosewood rolled 14 using 3d6+2.  Savoir Faire (Faerie).  TN is 14 so I just passed it.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 370):

it was +2 to your skll, so definitely  have insight.


The purists were cast into the domain of the Frost Elves, who while Unseelie, are not cannibalistic, unlike, for example, Hags or owlbears. They may afflict the prisoners,but are unlikely  to rape or eat them.

Could I ask polity if you could either say +2 Dice or +2 NT so I know the difference.
Thanks.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 372):

Penalty or bonus should say it all...

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 373):

occ Rosewood is fairly new to GURPS.

very few circumstances,  for example, Bless and Curse spells, directly affect the roll.
 I  will try to remember, but the default is "+x to skill"

Yes I am new to gurps.  This is third character I have made (by far the most successful) and the other two got lost like a lot in games.   Starts and goes straight to the going nowhere universe that is this site sometimes.

Thanks for being understanding GM.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 375):

frost elves.....hmmm

make a regular faerie lore roll Rosewood

Rosewood think of his favorite books on fairy law and remember the second on elves.
He always found them interesting.  If not a little scary.

OOC:
22:53, Today: Rosewood rolled 8 using 3d6.  Lore roll. TN 14.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 377):

Frost elves, like the one at the back of the bar sitting with the grimalkin, tend to be possessed of an unnatural beauty, and always have something unreal about them, like opalescent skin, metallic eyes, antlers, glowing auras, or peculiar shadows... peculiar shadows!!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 378):

Is that something that we saw with the purists head mistress?

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 379):

yes, her shadow would dance about. it looked like her, though.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 380):

"Is it possible the purists serve a Frost Elf?" Anita asks the others, as the idea occurs to her.

OOC:
Can I make roll on that idea?
[Private to GM: Although Rosewood major failure in the past may have a effect this roll?]

"Most likely, they do and don't know the fact.. The swamp hag revealed to us, as much."

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 382):

please do. The details of your enemies are starting to form a cohesive narrative...

Rosewood find a high up place and sits and thinks for a while trying to peace everything together.
His perch is such that he can see the roof of the town and places he been over the last few days.
A lot had happened to him and he seen much.  Somehow things really did not add up and he needed to make them do so.

OOC:
17:49, Today: Rosewood rolled 11 using 3d6.  Hidden Lore: Faerie TN 14.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 385):

Frost elves are creatures of the Wi ter Court. Most members of the court are tied to the season, but many also are quite callous to mortals. This one seems perturbed by Mortal-Faerie relations, which are almost always the byproducts of the Summer Court and their near obsession with mortal beings.

This one may represent a faction known as The Dark Elves, who aren't themselves hued any different than any others of their kind, be they Frost, Shadow, wood, seagoing, or even high elves, the actively dislike mortals more than the typical Winter court fey, usually because of the invention of iron weapons, but sometimes for more arcane reasons.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 386):

"Should we not investigate these Winter Elves some more? We may have just sent these Purists home..."
