In reply to Maddo (msg # 837):

"The elf stirring up the racists purists. She has some elvish documents with her, do you have anyone who could read them?"

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 838):

"Renolan the torchbearer might help with that. An elf, really!"

In reply to Maddo (msg # 839):

brief overlap with Damned if You Do;

healing is being got-do you want the elf healed?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 840):

Anita is not so keen if there is a cost.

"A member of the winter court, it would seem."

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 841):

"My elvish is not the best, as I only spent the holidays with my dad, but let me give it a go...Ok, the bulk of these are from someone named Errol to Maudwyn, and there are references to an FB and AN as well... they think she is not part of 'the cause'... Errol seems to write a lot about stirring up the...monkeys? against the sullied bloodlines... wait that means folk like me!"

as he is reading, a fiercly blue eyed person enters the room

[private to Ihsan: this is your cue]

In reply to Renolan (msg # 842):

"Yes, us too. They were not at all pleasant to deal with."

Anita looks at the new arrival.

The slim, blue-eyed youth peeks his head in. He wears leathers, embroidered with blue thread depicting clouds and winds; a small lightning bolt in gold; and a white sun over his heart. He glances around, then smiles. "I think I'm in the right place? Someone mentioned someone injured." He steps in fully, the dark skin of his face has a hint of blue to it, and dust swirls about his feet as he walks. "Ihsan here. I have come to help." He smiles and holds out his hand, a warm breeze stirring the room.

In reply to Ihsan (msg # 844):

"The injured folk have just been healed. Well, most of them. Can you read Elvish?"

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 845):

"Ah..." He smiles and shakes his head. "No, unfortunately - I'm no scholar. I know my letters and numbers, but only Aralaise." He considers, looks around. "I suppose I could make an attempt at translation, if I had some books, but... Oh! Hmm."

He considers, trying to remember if Air Elementals might know elvish.

Hypatia, who rooms with you and several others in this house, is a fey creature, part nymph, and like Maddo, part Satyr as well.
"I don't understand, This person is an elf, why would they be involved with these bullies? For that matter, why would these bullies not attack them also? So much of hate I do not understand."

In reply to Hypatia (msg # 847):

"Indeed. It even seems she is behind some of the hate. I suspect some of the winter court do not like mixed bloods..."

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 848):

Sederic briefly returns from the other side of the street.

"Are my services still needed? Should I return to work with my original group now?"

Marcus listened to the exchange.
"Well, we can presume that this Maudwyn. And we have seen her use invisibility. It does not take much from there to illusions. I don't think these folk ever realized that she is an elf. She must have faked as a human. And either charisma or a smooth tongue did the rest."
"Clearly we need to identify this Errol."
"Or interrogate the elf once she regained consciousness."
"With all respect, Renolan, I think maybe somekne with a better grasp on Elvish might help to unravel the content of the letters?"

The little pixie flys down to the table and looks up at everybody.  Rosewood clearly does not like talking about what he about to say and paces up and down the table a few times.
Does anybody here know much about the Winter Court of the fay?

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 851):

"A little... I've read a bit about them in my studies."

OOC: Hidden Lore (Faerie Lore) 11

Marcus looked startled as he watched their agitated companion.
"Umm, nothing really.", he answered with a shrug.

rolled 10 using 3d6.  Faerie lore.

In reply to Ihsan (msg # 852):

"Nope, sorry. Unless you are planning another fight, I should be back to my group. Cheers."

He will pause to allow a response, but unless someone suggests otherwise he will return to his original group.

In reply to Sederic (msg # 854):

Anita also did likely know much...[Private to GM: Rolled 3 under IQ]

"Thanks, Sederic, see you around."

Have you ever considered why there are two main fairy courts and why one is called the summer court and the other the winter?

The little winged creature looks around at his friends.  He touches the side of his head as if fixing a set of invisible glasses.  A hint of the old Rosewood they had never seen before.  One that would explain to fay that visited the library the wonders in the books he looked after.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 857):

"The winner court might be cold and gloomy, but that does not give them the right to kill whoever they want."

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 858):

"I dated a shadow elf once, and she was from the Winter Court. I dunno if all of them are like that."

In reply to Renolan (msg # 859):

"So you can read elvish? Can you read these?"

She shows him the letters and documents.

OOC: I'm afraid I'm mostly lost. Could someone summarize where we are, what we're doing?

In reply to Ihsan (msg # 861):

We are at the boarding house that hired us asking about documents that we found on our prisoner.
