Is it rude to ask what it is?

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 438):

That it definitely is, and again , this was introduced after a critical failureby someone with weirdness magnet. lets not gazebofy the situation.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 439):

Right. Anita will quietly leave the bar then and wait outside... wondering where she can research this.

OOC:
Sorry Anita Drake.  Rosewood can be a liability sometimes.

Leroy follows.
"So..we need to re-equip in gear more suited to keeping company with the Fae, learn some "names"..and then start paying calls on them, or their associates."

Rosewood flys over to land on Leroy du Lac shoulder.

Fay are difficult to talk to and get along with.  Each sup group as it's own ways and customs.  If you say the wrong thing they will think your rude and refuse to talk to you.  What is high praise to one sub group is and insult to another.
Why do you think I spent most of my life with my books.  Books are never rude because they think you are when your not.

Rosewood had bad look on his face.

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 440):

research can be done at the dismal tower of the sages.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 444):

Anita, not wanting to split up the group, decides to get her gear she left with the security and wait outside.

Leroy likewise retrieves and reequips his gear.

As Rosewood is sitting on Lercoy shoulders then he along for ride.

OOC:
research can be done at the dismal tower of the sages.
Sage = books = happy rosewood.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 447):

you head toward the Northeastern side of the Artisanal district, where it joins dockside and redlight,  not far from the Cathedral and Twilight House. there is a squat round tower, looking rather like the Bastille. This is the Dismal tower.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 448):

Marcus observes everything that is going on.  Not having much to say hd follows Leroy around and drinks afew ales.  When they leave he gathers his gear and warily nods to the owl bear.

In reply to Marcus Blackthorn (msg # 449):

The owlbear nodded and hooted to Marcus as you left.

you are greated at the tower by a surly scribe
"And what do you lot wan from the Sages?"

"Rosewood, this place has many books. The keepers here,may be able to answer some questions.."

Leroy says to the pixie on his shoulder, looking at the clerk.

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 451):

"What kind of questions you have may help direct you to the appropriate sage, as there are several with specialized fields of knowledge. You are aware of our fees, yes? researching one question is $30,  2 is $60"

"What if we do our own research? We would only need access in that case."

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 453):

"Unless you are a member of the brotherhood of sages, access to the library is limited to the sages themselves."


occ membership is a perk, and usually goes with a poi t in research and speedreading

trust the resarch of the experts!

"Well.. We need a sage, who knows about the power of spoken names of faeries, and frost elves of the winter court..?"
Leroy opens his pouch, and looks at the others.
"Let us pool our coin, to ask some questions that may aid our investigation."

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 455):

"The sage you need is Davera. She has some prerequisites. She needs the coin to be placed in a bowl of vinegar, and for each of you to wash your hands in the provided basin before she will approach,  and then she will be on the other side of a screen"

In reply to Ecrivain (msg # 456):

Did we ever get the cash from the sale of all the loot, or is that still in the process of Benito selling it?

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 457):

lets say you were able to pick up 50% of it

In reply to Narrator (msg # 458):



So the ring was sold straight away and divided 5 ways for $336 each, plus $299 each from our share, with $350 due in four days from when we sold it. That would give us $635 now, with $350 coming, minus anything spend, say on armour adjustments, purchases, etc. Sound right, boss?

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 459):

that is about right... those numbers are for each of you, iirc.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 460):

Anita would loan $600 to her brother for his business, so she has about $35. She will offer $30 towards getting questions answered. Her question is

'What type of Fey are there in that Tavern, and what are their strengths and weaknesses?'

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 461):

ooc that is a massive sweeping question which you might want to refine
