OOC: I just joined the game. I have no idea what boarding house, what documents, what prisoner, or why we're doing any of this.

Re: Deathtrap

Fey in town are being molested by a racist movement.
We were hired to investigate and end the threat.
We discovered that the racist leader was not a human but the winter elf we have now captured. Clearly she fooled the humans as she hid her true identity.
We still don't know her motive.
But we found those letters in Elvish on her and we try to proceed from there.

Mind, except for you I am the newest member of the group and that is my understanding.

this is the prior thread.

Marcus has the right of it.

The roominghouse you are in is populated by demifey, mostly noncombatant. You know a couple of those who are here: Renolan the half elven torchbearer,  Gordab Bardson,  an ogrekin musician, Hypatia and Maddo, who both have Satyr blood.

accross the street diagonally is a dive bar called The Wastrel's Hope,  and apparently,  several blocks away is the Rathskellar these bullies (who previously tried to burn down your home) were quartered, and that is where this crew got the injured frost elf.

"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

In reply to Renolan (msg # 869):

Ah, my bad, I forgot we already had that answered.

So we need to try to identify Errol, FB and AN. The winter Elf will be Maudwyn, and we need to decide what to do with her. Suggestions?

Re: Deathtrap

Marcus Blackthorn:
Marcus listened to the exchange.
"Clearly we need to identify this Errol."
"Or interrogate the elf once she regained consciousness."
"With all respect, Renolan, I think maybe someone with a better grasp on Elvish might help to unravel the content of the letters?"
"Do you know of someone who is fluent in Elvish whom we might talk to?",  Marcus said not limited to Renolan nut to all those gathered.

Re: Deathtrap

Rosewood never finishes his great speech as he walk into the bear class of Leroy du Lac.  The slightly dazed fay decide to keep keep quite after that.

However when Anita Drake ask about money the little fairy flys over to he and put some small object in her hands.  Strangely after few seconds she find herself with 3 silver coin.
Rosewood fly's away waving at her.

OOC:
As Rosewood does not use money that much I sure he has 3 sliver but GM my correct me on that.

The sage mutters something and a puff of dust floats away from the documents before she takes them.

"There are quite a few of these. tThis may take some time."
she waves her hand accross,says  word and  says "Thankfully,none of these are bespelled."

Re: Deathtrap

Marcus raised an eyebrow when the sage commented on time requirements.
"How long?", he asked bluntly.
Essentially he only wanted to know whether they were supposed to wait right here or whether the implied time were days instead of hours.
Unfortunately, he did tend to hardly ever speak in so certain terms.
Social interaction was a tough nut for the bowman.
