Massive sweeping questions were what she was aiming for, since technically it is still one question! A simple question is not worth $30 for an answer! She does have greed...

lol that sounds like miser, to have to try and get such money's worth, as well...

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 464):

$30 is a discounted 4 hours of sage time.
The question you suggested could be answered with a 400 page thesis, which would take 2-3 days to read aloud to you, and would be the equivalent of dropping 4 points into Hidden lore:Faerie.

that would normally take about 400 hours of study time to accrue. specific questions only.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 465):

Anita would sigh at being told to be more specific.

"Ok then, what are the Fey in that tavern bigger than the Owlbear, and what are their strengths and weaknesses, other than iron?"

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 466):

"I do not know who frequents the tavern, could you be more specific as to whom you mean, perhaps with descriptions?"

In reply to Davera (msg # 467):

"Well, there are Frozen Elves, and also something very large..." she tries to describe the big eye...

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 468):

"Frost elves are their own thing.
They are all nominally in the winter court, as are most Shadow elves,
Hags, redcaps, boggles, and Frost Knights.
Now your size is wrong about the other good fellow,
they just live in their own pocket, and where they see
a wee little door, we see one that is larger, as are things
 that one would see through it.
 Such a pocket is often found where gates intersect,
and Hyacinth has her place where there are several doors to Faerie,
so I would not be surprised if our good neighbor has a liminal space near there...
 and such things are larger on the inside than out, to be sure."

In reply to Davera (msg # 469):

"I see. And what can you tell me about Frozen Elves?"

Leroy listens intently, pondering on what he will ask...

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 470):

"The Frost elves all seem to be as elves of other sorts, although they tend to have pale hair and complexions, both may be a little bluish, but lighter blue than the Mountain elves. all bear some unnatural feature, be it a nimbus of light, metallic eyes, antlers, or shadows that misbehave. They have a variety of powers that vary from elf to elf, and are not the same as regular magic, although they are prone to glamour of various types. some can walk through doors in shadow into faerie. All serve Winter's Queen, although only some bear rank in the Winter's court. Many but not all are Dark elves, antagonistic toward mortals, i stead of being merely indifferent to their affairs like the rest of the Winter Court."

In reply to Davera (msg # 472):

"Are such diverse differences due to mixed breeding heritage, or something else?"

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 473):

"The more time an individual spends in Faerie, the more diverse they become."

"Is there a record of names in the winter court we can look at, and take notes?"

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 475):

"There is rumored to be a book used to call the rolls when the Winter Court meets, it is hundreds of pages long, and mostly judt lists titles. No true names are in it, but if there are,  it would be a most closely guarded item, for it would give power over those whose names are inscribed within."

Leroy smiles, and nods thoughtfully.
He pays the silver and 10 coppers.

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 477):

Having already given the coins she has, Anita has no more with her, but she does ask

"So how would one find a true name of a fey, and what power would it give?"

OOC: some points invested in hidden lore (Names)?

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 478):

mechanically, it is at least a perk, (favor), and if used in binding spells it gives a bonus, but makes an enemy...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 480):

So for finding them?

"I think we need to find some frost elves..Perhaps a renegade. Then, we try and ask them about what they may know about winter court intrigue..."

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 482):

"Dearie, then you had best invest some time in learning the etiquette of the Winter court, if you hope to understand its politics."



you will need to drop a minimum of a point in savoir faire :Faerie court: Winter (defaults at -2 to Summer and vice versa) as a prerequisite for social skills like : Politics, Faerie Court (winter or Summer) or Current affairs, faerie Court(winter or summer)

In reply to Davera (msg # 483):

"How could we learn that?"

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 484):

"for $75, I could sell you a copy of East of the Sun , West of the Moon, Navigating a Path Amongst the Good Neighbors or if you are a member of the Brotherhood, you vould borrow for $20."

the book would let you spend a point on Savoir faire:Faerie court, becoming a member of the brotherhood of sages is a one time fee of $100 and a character point, but it lets you use the library for $20 a day.

Rosewood has decide to stay out of all this.
He is not totally sure about the so called sage but feel he does not know enough to know if this is right or not.

So he just keep quite.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 486):

"I do not have the cash with me just now, but I am happy to return when I do. Unless one of you buys the book, and we can all pitch in and use it in turn..."
