In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 53):

There is also the question of the grove(?) dedicated to Grom...best location?

Perhaps Balir would be better served with an Ally. I could make one up for him if requested...

Yeah, I suppose we could just hire somebody. Skill points don't come cheap :)

"So are we actually going to get the Baron to confirm Deed and title of the tower?" asks Hannatti. "Or is that all taken care of and I just didn't notice?"

"No, it still needs to be done. I just did not want my followers to make the trip needlessly. Them starting on a place dedicated to Grom will ensure it stays free of the undead curse, by Groms power. We should head there tomorrow, after settling these folk in here."

"OK, Kirpich, that's fine. You know about these things and, to be honest, I don't," answers Hannatti. "I'm fine with you taking care of it though. Thanks."

SHe turns round to nab Aethul again. "Let's go choose our room." She wheels him away.

======
OOC: Actually I have no idea which/where would be the most suitable room. Aethul can choose if he wishes..

Aethul would like a room two or so levels up and with windows.  The top level has an entrance and stairs around the wall, which confuses me, as I thought that was was the second floor up from the ground. However no other floor has an entrance. A reasonable sized room on the floor above the entrance level or the one above that  with arrowslits or windows please. Now remember, Hannati is a woman so we will need plenty of storage and a place for her cosmetics in front of a mirror. Likely a small armoire for Aethul and two large ones fer my lovely intended.

Masonry and carpentry would be the skills for repairing the tower, hirelings could be got from Brouse.

the stairs wend upward from ground level to the third story above ground, and there is a basement level.
top floor was garrison and entry/audience hall;
 level 2  from the top was the lord and lady (and some servant's) chambers,
 level 3 from the top was servants
ground floor is hall and kitchens
basement was crypt and wine cellar/ storage

So we will take the larger room on the left and leave the smaller rooms to other people who are not a couple.

In reply to Aethul (msg # 61):

Kirpich will want the crypt and cellars, and modify them to a home in the ground, close to Grom.

He will seek to move the Crypt...given the previous inhabitants.

"Double bed? And a copper bath?" reflects Hannatti.

So, if A+H takes left room, Balir can take the right room (on the 2nd floor).
Do we need to start/end some more business here, or are we ready to talk to the new baron?

In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 64):

OOC: IMO we're long ioverdue to see the Baron

In reply to Hannatti (msg # 65):

Likewise. As long as the plebs are settled in...

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 62):

The starmetal lining to the crypt could probably go for a pretty penny as well.

The  Gromelites settle in, and start sweeping dust, until they notice teeth in the piles of dust...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 67):

Teeth? Kirpich will investigate...

OOC: Balir thinks we shouldn't sell the starmetal lining, but keep it. We can make powerful weapons and armour out of it.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 68):

Kirpich finds an assortment of long canine teeth- the last temnants of the vampires, which can be destroyed by soaking them in holy water in direct sunlight.

The cultists are none too happy about the contents of the midden either, as there many
bones of various types.

Hannatti suggests, "During day hours the midden can be dredged and anything therein laid out in the sun. Remains thereafter can be cremated and buried."

With the inner group only in attendance she says, "We shall leave the starmetal in place and not mention it to anyone else. We need to secure the promised deed and title to this tower as prmomised by the baron.Tthat needs to be our next task! it's been in abeyance for far too long."

In reply to Narrator (msg # 70):

"This is why we are here, people. Thank you for coming. We need to sanctify this place to Grom to ensure this curse, and none like it, ever return.

Some of us will need to go and secure the title. The Baron, as I understand, has been replaced."

lets attempt the consecration and then go and not split the party- although Snorri and Marlena could be left behind.

"You need any help with that, Kip?" Balir looks at the priest

In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 74):

Player not sure...what do we need to do to consecrate it?

We can leave the two behind when we do go though. Not a bad idea.

it would be a religious ritual, and default to Theology.

that and a lot of holy water or a bless spell...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 76):

So it seems Kirpich has the religious ritual down. He just needs a lot of Holy Water or a Bless spell. Can they make holy water?

I would be inclined to think holy earth for an earth elemental god...

let me figure on that.
