moe: Salutations

is there a game today?

devil's fav demon (GM): yeah,

usually starts at 3 est

moe: OK cool

so it seems I'll be able to make it always when it's a work sunday for me

devil's fav demon (GM): noice

we MIGHT move to starting at 2 every now and then but idk. it was discussed but then we just started every game at 3 or 4 for the next several weeks anyway

moe: i've no issues with either but I might be missing a few minutes at start/during early game

commuting is a breeze though so no more than 20 I thinkm

devil's fav demon (GM): cool

moe: so last time johns fell asleep and there was no game (though hanging out was cool): does time move one season regardless?

adventure i participated in last time was spring (9xp which I should allocate)

devil's fav demon (GM): There was a summer adventure at some point, iirc. Time doesn't progress if we're not playing, so having a companion and/or grog ready helps if you want to get your wizard some lab time.

usually we only adventure 2 seasons per in game year, though, so everyone gets at least a little

moe: I should get in on this whole grog/companion thing

Shauncat (GM): Grogs are fun, companions are tricky

devil's fav demon (GM): yeah

Shauncat (GM): They're tricky for me since I try a lot of odd concepts

moe: I'm always amazed how I have lots of good ideas until the moment I join a game and need to perform and suddenly it's a Wojak with popped baloon brain

devil's fav demon (GM): lol

that fuckin feel.

moe: I wanted a merc captain and that's literally the first crossed out grog virtue

nice

johns (GM): salve

devil's fav demon (GM): salve

Endrite (GM): What's crackin'?

devil's fav demon (GM): feel free to make a grog using the book rules if josh sawyers grog-o-matic is too limiting

Shauncat (GM): Morgana is my attempt to make a merc captain without that virtue

Also w need to link johns grog errata for Abilities as Abilities in the wiki

moe: I was seeing that particular guy as a full on companion anyway

Shauncat (GM): Oh

moe: i'm reading the rope kid grog rules

Shauncat (GM): Companions can take XP-affecting virtues like that

moe: I do plan to have the full ars magica experience(tm) by having at least one magus/comp/grog in game at the same time eventually

but perhaps not tonight

Endrite (GM): You really shouldn't get too attached or interested in grogs.

They're about as interesting as magical items.

moe: truth

Shauncat (GM): The big thing is that grogs can be controlled by anyone

moe: I think i have a realistic expectation of grogs

on one hand they're ants

but i've had great experience with lvl 1 dudes in old D&D

Shauncat (GM): So someone can take your favorite grog and have them walk into a deathtrap at a wizard's order

Bolad:

devil's fav demon (GM): i think this song choice backfired. i wanted to troll the players but its really grating on me.

Bolad: stones

Endrite (GM): If you have a character concept that you're really attached to then you should make them a companion.

moe: I would like to churn out a few grogs for grog things

if rope kids rules for 5 minute chargen work i'll whip up a couple over the week

I'm more weary of the merc because of how combat works and he might eat it day 1

as would anyone, but most don't make that their livelihood

Shauncat (GM): Celeste is a merc and has lived a long time

The secret is she has MR and uses archery

Hazm's strategy is to buff grogs while staying out of combat himself

Endrite (GM): Combat hasn't, historically, been very deadly for skilled combatants.

Shauncat (GM): The one grog that got killed while I was controlling it was done in by environmental hazard

devil's fav demon (GM): environmental hazards ftw.

moe: or Acts of God as they are better known

Shauncat (GM): Not really, it was an easily prevented death by arsenic

Because the aresenic was below the ground and not even in like a pit you could fall in

moe: I guess i haven't been around long enough to think of arsenic as an enviro hazard

devil's fav demon (GM): Fond memories of having Prudenzio tell a grog to start picking up and bottling arsenic with his bare hands.

Endrite (GM): If he wanted to survive he should've had a higher natural philosophae score.

moe: Summa summarum had God not wanted it to happen he would not have allowed it, QED

Shauncat: We've houseruled the group combat system a lot but ti's still worth it to have a Companion with good Leadership and combat abilities who can control several grogs at once

Endrite (GM): AFK a minute.

Shauncat: Morgana has her leadershi stats on her sheet for an example

Father Hazm: Salve

moe: Salve

Father Hazm: Giraldo isn't even here and he's the one that awnted this

c'thinker (GM): chelb

Bolad: Chelm.

c'thinker: glebes of chelms

Father Hazm: Milo of Ephebes

c'thinker: the dangerous faerie magician

GM: It's been some time since you resolved the murder of Tasso Agricola, cleared Archibald's name, and captured the dastardly, despicable, and deadly magus Richard Strabo. Anson of Bonisagus, the sole active magus of the Vulcanal covenant, is deeply thankful, and has kept in touch with Vardian's Tomb since then.

You are his closest allies in the Roman Tribunal, after all.

Father Hazm: I'm going over to purchase some volcanic soil to help restore the ruined arable land of Ponza

GM: A year or more ago, he asked you for one more favor. His guards claimed to have seen monstrous women cavorting between the rows of grapevines and had been fearful of leaving the covenant grounds.

Today, another letter arrives.

c'thinker: i'm going over to mount etna.

GM: "Sodales, you have already done enough for me, but I have nowhere else to turn. One of my guards has gone missing. Fedele is shaken with fear and we have not left the grounds in some time.

I will reward you handsomely."

- Anson of Bonisagus.

Bolad: Let us extort the foolish agrarian in his time of need

Father Hazm: Aye

I'll buff Bolad's Bows ability while we're in a magic aura

GM: Yeah, feel free to buff/choose your fighter as if you haven't left yet. I just switched the map for convenience.

Father Hazm: Well I guess I need a casting token to do it here but that shouldn't be hard

moe: My heart goes out to the fool's equipment, I'd rather it not fall into the wrong hands.

Father Hazm: I apply buffs in the morning before we arrive

Beardbeard: ok now give me my characters

c'thinker: how does bolad feel about seminomads

GM: As you approach Anson's volcanic lair you see that one of the large twin guards has indeed gone missing. Fedele invites you into the sweltering drawing room, where, to the shock of any magi who have been here before, Anson is waiting (rather than passing notes under the door of his lab)

Alright, now before I go on, who is actually here?

Voda: I am.

Dušan of Criamon: I am

Voda: But also I'm still AFK!

Father Hazm: Me

Beardbeard: giraldo would be here if i had control of him

Father Hazm: Giraldo is here in intention

Giraldo of Milan: giraldo is here

GM: You should have control of him.

Okay.

c'thinker: i want to play gulielmus.

but its probably better to bring derfel

johns: I can semitolerate seminomads

Father Hazm: I buff Giraldo with Blessing of Venus

GM: Ooh.

Father Hazm: And another buff for +1 Charm

Bolad: I explain that in the circle of life, the occasionally sedentary must exist so that Tengri's chosen have someone to raid

(To Father Hazm): What's the duration & power on a Great Weapons buff?

Giraldo of Milan: that makes sense

(From Father Hazm): +3, Sun, and Group target if you want to coordinate volleys with other archers

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: Siwmae.

Giraldo of Milan: whos going to start running pathfinder on saturdays or on weekday evenings for me

Anson of Bonisagus: "Oh, thank God. It's good to see friendly faces... It's been lonely without that old badger around."

Bolad: join the imp zone game

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: made any potions lately... rofl

Father Hazm: "Salve, magus."

Bolad: if he wanted to see badgers maybe he shouldn't have fled to stardust. gahahaha!!!!!!!

Giraldo of Milan: ok johns. i will buy a somethingawful account, and you use your impzone connections to get me in

Anson of Bonisagus: "New faces, yes? Vardian's Tomb grows like a weed. No offense. A good weed. I'm not much of a gardener."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: the imp zone adopt a newbie program

Bolad: How does the farm outside look

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Not as many weeds nowadays."

Dušan of Criamon: (entirely oblivious) the produce situation is actually quite worrying.

devil's fav demon (GM): the farm outside, being entirely within a faerie aura, is overgrown and wild, years gone by with no attention.

Bolad: shame

Father Hazm: "Perhaps your estate needs a church."

Anson of Bonisagus perks up at Hazm's suggestion

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: where is this place. naples

the kingdom of sicily i mean

Anson of Bonisagus: "It would be a fine thing. Unfortunately I have no labor force to build it."

Bolad: The kingdom of sicily... but which one??

Father Hazm: "Hmmm."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: crossing over into the faerie regio of Two Sicilies

Fedele Grassi: "Sir, I don't want to speak out of turn but, please! My brother is missing!"

Father Hazm: "Yes, there is more immediate matters than church building."

Anson of Bonisagus: "Yes, yes. I'm so excited to catch up with my friends that I lose track of myself."

"We haven't seen Felice for several days."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "We'll bring him back, safe and sound."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr gives a reassuring (and extremely handsome) smile.

Bolad: "I heard there was mention of some kind of reward..?"

Voda: Ok I'm fully back.

Hmm.

Fedele Grassi: "We'd been arguing..." he sniffles. "We both saw the horned women in the vineyards but I... I'd always tell my brother we get paid to guard, not adventure. No need to leave the post! He got a wild hair up his ass, though, and charged into the vineyards, hollering all the way. Haven't seen him since."

Father Hazm: "Egads. These horned temptresses do weave ill in the hearts of men, it seems."

Voda: "Have you been paid regularly?"

Father Hazm says a prayer

Giraldo of Milan: I nod. "That makes sense."

Anson of Bonisagus: "Yes, a reward. You know I have some status as a Bonisagus? A Colens Arcanorum, in fact. I'm working to compile this year's folio and could perhaps..."

his voice lowers to a whisper.

"Don't go bragging about this, now, but I'll let you have a copy before anyone else, even Mercere."

Voda: I nod like I know what he's talking about.

Fedele Grassi: "Paid well, and always on time. Why do work that isn't in the job description, though?"

Dušan of Criamon: Wisely, I also join the nodding though neither I nor Voda know what he's talking about.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: awooga

Voda: Wisdom.

Giraldo of Milan: ah, i understand now

Bolad:

Voda: Hmm.

Father Hazm: "Perhaps some favorable trade deals with the parish of Ponza as well?"

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "A great reward indeed."

Bolad: It's a book of spells

Voda: "Do you have the opportunity to, you know, meet women on a regular basis?"

Father Hazm: "We can always use plants to help regrew what was lost to the miasma."

devil's fav demon (GM): the Folios of house Bonisagus are yearly compilations of tractatii and spell texts that are passed around the Tribunal every year. There's a system of who gets access to copies at any given time, though.

Bolad: "Perhaps you need to come to Rome and let off some steam. By my last estimate one tenth of the population is prostitutes."

devil's fav demon (GM): Technically they're open to all, but in practice there's a long waiting list to access the folios and most covenants don't get to see them until long after they're current.

Voda: I nod in agreement even though I don't know what fractions are.

Father Hazm: "My blessings have been known to help out wayward men in search of a bachelorette.."

devil's fav demon (GM): Anson, being one of the magi who compiles them, will make an early copy and pass it off to VT to keep.

Fedele Grassi: "We don't get out much, no."

Father Hazm: A folio will be much appreciated, by the magi who aren't here

I think Bolad has the most OoH lore among us

Dušan of Criamon: "Perhaps after the brothers are reunited they should consider a leave of absence to ponder the nature of sin and temptation, perhaps ideally even in Rome"

Voda: How many other grogs are at the covenant?

Father Hazm: I need to invent a charm to help Mariu get married before he dies, that wears off after he's married

Bolad: i think 3?

Father Hazm: So he's deathly afraid of his wife

Anson of Bonisagus: "Yes, perhaps once the grounds are confirmed safe I can let the Grassis take vacation and hire some people to build that church."

Bolad: lets hope nothing bad happens to the wizards in rome in autumn.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: gahaha.

Voda: What could possibly happen?

Bolad: "The solution seems simple. Let us rough up the goat legged monsters who have taken the man's brother away."

Father Hazm: moe said he wanted to make a bunch of grogs so who knows

moe: i will ponder the issue of grogs over the week

that is a promise

i commit to 3 at least

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Better than getting caught up in another damned quest."

Father Hazm: "Yes, it would be prudent to verify whether these temptresses are demonic in nature, and purge the corruption if so."

moe: a veritable influx

Giraldo of Milan: "Yeah. Let's get rough with these goat ladies."

devil's fav demon (GM): There aren't many grogs at Vulcanal now. The covenant is clearly in poor maintenance.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i'll give them a taste of my spear, but figuratively, but literally

Voda: Hmm.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: let's kill a faerie and actually kill her

Voda: We should definitely wizard war him and steal all of his lab texts.

Bolad: does anyone have faerie lore in this party

agreed voda!

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: yes

Father Hazm: My Maronite privilege of being able to marry while ordained probably doesn't extend to goat women, but I can help others.

Bolad: we should kill this covenant, then the covenant of our Herbam based praeco

devil's fav demon (GM): It's really just Anson locking himself in a room to do research with Fedele standing outside, with a thick coating of dust on everything that isn't in their daily path.

Giraldo of Milan: if it doesnt extend to goat women then god isnt just

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: not sure thats a good idea.

lets kill the great khan

Anson of Bonisagus: Faerie lore would be helpful yeah.

Father Hazm: I have Susceptibility to Faerie Power

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i also have Common Sense for all faerie-related scenarios

Anson of Bonisagus: Nice.

Voda: Noice.

Giraldo of Milan: ive got faerie lore

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: ha! gay

Giraldo of Milan: and good stamina

Dušan of Criamon: Second sight?

Father Hazm: Does anyone else want common sense?

Giraldo of Milan: and second sight

Father Hazm: I guess I'll buff myself with it

I have Magic-based Second Sight

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: does the actual Common Sense virtue apply in faerie scenarios

Bolad: ive got weak magic SS

Father Hazm: Common Sense is a General virtue so I don't think the aura matters

I mean, there's a lot of common sense things to do when confronted by an eldritch demon, like not to try to stab it with a knife

Anson of Bonisagus: Yeah.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: crying angry feels guy.bmp

Voda: There's definitely things that normal people know about fairies.

Giraldo of Milan: yeah. for example: theyre sexy

Father Hazm: Wise

Voda: Like, don't follow them into the woods and don't eat food they offer you.

Bolad: hey, free food

Voda: Do teach them the days of the week.

Father Hazm: Anyway, tell me the faerie aura level once we go in

Voda: Do not make selfish wishes.

The list goes on.

Fedele Grassi: "If only Felice knew not to follow them into the woods..."

he sobs

Voda: Makes you think.

"We'll find him, you can count on it."

Bolad: It makes me think that if there were only steppe and no woods, the fae woudl have no poewr

Father Hazm: "It is the way of the supernatural to gnaw away at the wisdom that protects humanity."

There's probably faerie mongols in Russia

Anson of Bonisagus: "Well said, Father. Once the church is built you're always welcome to give a guest sermon."

Father Hazm: You can probably run the faerie viking adventure with faerie mongols in some tribunals

Anson of Bonisagus: "Thank you for your help, sodales. The heart of Vardian's Tomb is charity, it seems."

Bolad: charitable necromancy

Voda: Good for us.

Is there a village around here?

Giraldo of Milan: "Yeah."

GM: There is probably a village nearby but I have no map or characters for it.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: if you're in russia you can run a faerie viking adventure AND a faerie mongol adventure

Bolad: You fool. You have played right into the PCs trap.

Father Hazm: :weebey:

Bolad: Prepare y ourself for 2 sessions of investigating the village.

GM: lmao.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Ever noble, that's us."

Father Hazm: "These humble scholars become more virtues by the day."

Voda: My plan is we investigate the village to see if anyone has seen the other Grassi brother.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: oh yeah

i forgot derfel has a squire

Bolad: "I hope we get to kill something"

Giraldo of Milan: players can sense areas that are unmapped/havent been thought about through small details and are attracted to them like a fly to rot

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: probably got shanked in an alley

Voda: What kind of spells does Dusan have?

Dušan of Criamon: Mostly intellego

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: he should be limited to only use the Circle parameter

Dušan of Criamon: I imagined him as more of an intel gatherer

Bolad: Let's poke through the missing brother's quarters briefly for any Hot Clues

Dušan of Criamon: but his penetration is lousy so I doubt he's of much use

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: ooh mmm.

Father Hazm: "I am loathe to shed blood, as bloodshed oft begets further bloodshed, but in the end sometimes it is God's great plan."

GM: Bolad turns up some stale crusts of bread.

Derfel finds some dirty drawings of naked women with horns.

Voda: Yikes.

Giraldo of Milan: i look at the dirty drawings

Dušan of Criamon: It is the Criamon way

Villagers: "What brings you to this little town, mister tall dark and handsome?" a wench asks Hazm.

Giraldo of Milan: whats the aq on the drawings

Bolad: "Bread... it is more insidious than I thought"

Voda: Ricethinker.

Father Hazm: "We're looking for a missing person. Family name of Grassi. Him and his brother are both guards."

devil's fav demon (GM): they're pretty crude. AQ 1 or 0.

Giraldo of Milan: "Awful."

Dušan of Criamon: "On one hand these would suggest an unskilled author, but on the other they did have access to art utensils"

Father Hazm: Maybe an illuminator drawing himself some porn as a side hobby

Villagers: "Those big fellows from the mountain? One or the other comes down here every season or so for provisions."

Voda: "What kind of provisions?"

Bolad: If I had Magic Theory, I might know that Artwork is an Arcane Connection to its creator, meaning those crude drawings could be used to Intelligo the artist's location.

Giraldo of Milan: lets find the goat babes

Bolad: Agreed

Villagers: "Food, mostly. Last few years they've been getting beer. Thought they had a vineyard, but I guess you get sick of wine living on a vineyard."

Voda: "Sick of wine? Are they even Italian?"

Dušan of Criamon: Magic theory you say

Villagers: the wench shrugs

devil's fav demon (GM): you could try the Intellego trick, as Felice has been gone less than a week.

Father Hazm: "It's been a good while since I've had some good arak saggi myself."

devil's fav demon (GM): also they're not really sick of wine, it's just that the guy in charge of processing the grapes into wine was murdered.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: lol.

Voda: Heh.

Bolad: lol

Does Dusan know The Inexorable Search?

Dušan of Criamon: I'm interested in the intellego trick, what do I roll?

Father Hazm: Maybe if a monastery was built here they could do the winemaking

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: the village has become overrun with muslims

Voda: What kind of spells do you have?

Father Hazm: If you don't know The Inexorable Search you'd have to spont something

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: it's too late, uther. the entire city must be purged

Voda: I mean, specifically what spells do you have?

Bolad: its hard to spont spells with Arcane Connection range since they're high level so maybe this is no go

Father Hazm: Yes

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: can we use the drawing against the faeries in some way

Father Hazm: Arc is a very large range

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i will roll faerie lore, to find out.

Bolad: I boldly suggest we hold onto the drawings anyway, then follow the path into Faerie Land.

Father Hazm: Yes

Bolad: I have 2 Golden Horde Lore, because I am a roleplayer, not a rollplayer.

Father Hazm: They don't tend to grow on people naturally aside from cutaneous horns, however

"Some fairy tales have truth to them. I am asking in seriousness. A man's life may be in danger, as well as his immortal soul."

Giraldo of Milan: for the horde

Father Hazm: "I ask again. Even if it's outrageous, have you heard something?"

Derfel ap Cadwaladr studies the drawing.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Looks kind of like a mountain nymph."

johns: are the people of this covenant aware of the giant dragon visible in their concept art

Voda: You mean the several dragons.

Villagers: "Was he a good man? Is he honest, does he work hard?"

Bolad: yikes!

devil's fav demon (GM): they're as unaware of the dragons as they are of the large RPG Maker MV text.

Father Hazm: Jotun, despite their large size, have good Stealth scores due to being able to stand completely motionless

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: lavinia would have loved this.

Voda: Well, if we're going under the mountain then we'll need to convince Anson to help us.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i'll show the drawing to the woman

(From Father Hazm): I found something good in hermetic projects, I'll post it to chat in a second

Bolad: I thought his brother saw him wander into the woods though

Father Hazm: Many volcanoes are reputed to be gates to Hell. One well-known incident that demonstrates this occurred when the heretical Ostrogothic king The- odoric died in 526. A jet-black stallion arrived at Theodoric’s palace in Ravenna, gathered the dead king’s body, and then galloped away to Mt. Etna, straight into the crater and down into Hell.

devil's fav demon (GM): He did, Bolad. Felice charged into the overgrown vineyards and was lost.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: Who wouldn't gallop straightaway to mount Etna.

Villagers: The vineyards are on the slopes of Mt. Etna.

Bolad: Right. so why did the villagers bring up Oreads

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i said the word "oread"

Voda: Derfel did.

Bolad: why did you do that

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: oh, i used faerie lore

and the gm told me it's a drawing of an oread

Villagers: Because he rolled Faerie Lore and I sent him a PM identifying the drawing as a representation of an Oread, or mountain nymph.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: and then the villager confirmed

Bolad: AhA!

Excellent.

Villagers: Also, the villager wench responds to Voda's question about why under the mountain.

Voda:  Said in the Shao Khan voice

moe: b

Father Hazm: Would titans be covered under a Gods specialty for Magic Lore?

Voda: I'd imagine they're different from gods.

Villagers: "Yeah, under the mountain, where the Palici live, my grandma used to say."

Father Hazm: I'll make the specialty something that covers the spirits related to Learned Magician spells then

If Gods is too specific to cover titans

Voda: You should pick a specific mythology, IMO.

Bolad: brb1 m

Voda: "How do they get under the mountain? Are there tunnels?"

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i think Gods should include the greek titans

but not all primal spirits

Giraldo of Milan: geek titans

mount etna

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: mount etna

devil's fav demon (GM): so to summarize what you know so far:

Villagers:

- Felice disappeared after chasing the goat women.

- The goat women are nymphs of the mountain

- this peasant woman seems to think they bring people under the mountain, where the "Palici" live.

moe: "Any mountain worth its salt has ravines, cracks, perhaps even tunnels. I suppose those under the Aetna may be a little hotter than those I've seen."

Father Hazm: Magi of Hermies is no help, one guy specializes in Artemis, one specializes in "creatures"

Villagers: "Oh, I don't know. I don't get out of the village much. I'm just trying to impress this handsome man with my old stories."

Father Hazm: So as broad as you can get away with is the powergamer's choice

Giraldo of Milan: ill let you guess which of those magi is smarter, shaun

Voda: In any case, we have two options here, IMO.

Giraldo of Milan: goofus chooses specialties based on his characters background. gallant specializes in creatures for each realm lore

Voda: 1) Chase after the goat women ourselves.

Bolad: I consult my magic lore to see if I recognize the term Palici

Giraldo of Milan: depends on which realm the god is associated with

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: faerie

Bolad: depends what realm the gods are frome

Voda: It DePeNdS.

Bolad: Titans are Magical for instance

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: if it's folklore

Villagers: i'm leaning faerie.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i think.

Bolad: The Greek Pantheon are Fae

Giraldo of Milan: even if its folklore its still for whatever the actual creature is

Villagers: Okay, then i'd recommend rolling faerie lore instead of magic lore. You can take that 10 if you want though.

Bolad: if it's a God that actively benefits from people worshipping it, it's probably Fae

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: you should be able to get some kind of information with magic lore, if it's a faerie imitating a known magical being

Giraldo of Milan: hmmm. yes. i will take the 10

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i think.

Villagers: Giraldo, is it still a 15 with faerie?

Giraldo of Milan: my result is....... 14

Villagers: giraldo's about to get a lore dump

Giraldo of Milan: there are also infernal gods. for example, whichever one thinks god doesnt want him to marry a faerie

Bolad: lets side with Loki in the coming Second Titanomachy

Villagers: 9: They were worshipped in the neighbourhood of mount Aetna, and their sanctuary was an asylum for runaway slaves

12: The springs were a site of solemn oath-taking, the oaths being written on tablets and thrown into one of the wells. If the tablet swam on the water, the oath was considered to be true, but if it sank down, the oath was regarded as perjury, which was believed to be punished instantaneously by blindness or death.

lmao.

nice.

Giraldo of Milan: woo

well done

well done!!! motherfucker

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: gj

Villagers: Glad you can all pretend to not have seen that.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: our friend Giraldo will share this information with us.

Bolad: i just assume Giraldo tells it to us verbatim, in his growling witcher voice

Father Hazm: "well" done

Giraldo of Milan: i do

devil's fav demon (GM): i will spoil that if you decide to conf that i will give you one additional piece of lore

Voda: Pasting in whispers is kind of a pain.

Father Hazm: I'll tell you the lore.. for a price

Giraldo of Milan: give me my conf tokens gm

so i can slam one down

Bolad: oh yeah everyone who didn't have 2 conf at he beginning of this session should get 1

so me bb and dfd

Villagers: i have no idea how to do that.

Bolad: if you click on the stack of confidence points tokens on the right side of the map there is a button to deal it to players

Villagers: I did it.

Bolad: huzzah

Giraldo of Milan: i slam it down

"he earliest records of the Palikoi and fae of Aetna involve tales of human sacrifice. "

The

Villagers: lol.

moe: oh BOY

Giraldo of Milan: oh right

Bolad rubs hands

Giraldo of Milan: "6: Palikoi/Palici were Sicilian daemons sometimes called the sons of Hephaestus by Aetna. "

Bolad: Prinny would have loved this

Voda: Hmm.

I think we really need to confront Anson on what, exactly, he's studying here.

Father Hazm: "Did you say demons or daimons?"

Voda: Though I guess getting a grog killed is all part of normal business.

Bolad: im always down for a chance to bully a wizard, voda

Voda: Daemons.

That's a third thing, obviously.

devil's fav demon (GM): There's also a chance that Anson doesn't know about any of this and Tasso was sacrificing villagers on the down low. Or maybe not.

Father Hazm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(classical_mythology) it's the same thing as daimon

The word is derived from Proto-Indo-European  daimon "provider, divider (of fortunes or destinies)", from the root  da- "to divide".

Bolad: can you imagine a covenant situating itself on some sort of ancient evil and the bulk of its members not even knowing about it????

devil's fav demon (GM): what a crazy idea.

moe: Inconcievable

Villagers: brb.

Voda: Let's bully Anson.

Bolad: "Magi Dusan, how do you think we should proceed? You represent the council of Vardian's Tomb here after all."

Father Hazm: Hazm uses his knowledge of the Greek language, infernal lore, and understanding of magic spirits to realize Haephestus probably did not birth a bunch of demons

Voda: But he might've.

Dušan of Criamon: "While I'd always rather consult the stars, perhaps Anson could tell us better on how to proceed. Even if he is neither acquainted with fairies nor demons, he is a local after all."

Villagers: back.

Bolad: i thought fae and magical beings could turn into demons if they embrace the infernal

Father Hazm: Anything's possible but best not to bank in the improbable

Bolad: sure sure

Dušan of Criamon: I presume detective work happens during the day, but I could be wrong

Bolad: if it's day we can consult the Star, singular

just stare into it until you start seeing things

Father Hazm: Unless someone has a case of "daemon" being differnt from a daimon IN THE ARS LORE then it is canon that Giraldo is taking about daimons

Voda: We could just wait until evening.

Father Hazm: Actually I do not do that

Unless the GM says so

Bolad: is Derfel on horseback

since he's got a squire

Voda: We can't just decide this for our characters.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: unknown.

Voda: So what's the vineyard look like?

Overgrown?

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: he is capable of riding a horse

Voda: Teeming with mountain nymphs?

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: teeming with goat children

devil's fav demon (GM): Overgrown, but no nymphs visible.

Yet.

I think that's enough solid second sight rolls to identify the regio entrance. I'm a damn pushover GM.

Bolad: you could use the.... shudder  published ease factor equation

Dušan of Criamon: Why beat yourself up, the hurdle is surmounted!

GM: Ha ha ha.

Bolad: i want to game with honor

GM: Well, Giraldo and Dusan see it. Bolad doesn't but can be pointed towards it.

Bolad: but assuming the regio is Faerie, duasn's roll is good enough to spot any regio up to fae 6

Giraldo of Milan: i will point him towards it

Bolad: and giraldos fae 8

Dušan of Criamon: I have no idea what the standard protocol is but I'm thinking about daisychaining the whole party

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i also rolled second sight!!

Bolad: do you mean having us all tied together by ropes, duasn

thats one way to stop split parties

Dušan of Criamon: I was thinking held hands, but that is clearly an option

Bolad: I would like to enter the regio on horseback if it will accomodate that

Morgana: Hazm is playing to his flaws

Dušan of Criamon: also consider this: if we hold hands and form a circle, that's a circle, which is good

Voda: Where is the entrance?

GM: Giraldo Derfel and Dusan see a sloping path leading beneath the ground, smack in the middle of a row of grapevines. A thick and sulfurous steam billows from the opening, and those aware of the regio entrance can feel distinct heat.

Voda: Hmm.

Well that's clearly very safe.

AFK a sec.

Dušan of Criamon: "As would be appropriate for the southern climates. Very commendable."

Morgana: Myself and the others bodyguard Dusan and anyone else who wants a bodyguard

Bolad: If we find the air is toxic inside I can summon up a Chamber of Spring Breezes spell

GM: Nice.

Bolad: "Shall I take the lead?"

Giraldo of Milan: "Sure."

Bolad: I will try riding into the entrance.

Dušan of Criamon: Actually, now that we might be entering enemy territory I'd like to cast Wizard's Sidestep (ReIm 10)

GM: Feel free to prebuff as much as you'd like.

Morgana: I'll put the line of shield grogs behind Bolad but beyond that, taking point

Good music

Dušan of Criamon: I have +16 to cast I think, not sure about fumble dice

Giraldo of Milan: i will buff myself with blessing of venus

GM: You enter a hidden cave and emerge on a rocky outcropping surrounded by roiling, bubbling water. The air is thick and smells of rotten eggs.

Make a Stamina check vs EF 3, everyone.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: Derfel says a short prayer.

Bolad: moe your casting total is Stamina (1) + Rego (8) + Imaginem (7) + the aura bonus which is +1 in faerie 2

GM: Until Bolad casts chamber of spring breezes at least.

Father Hazm: Giraldo sizes up their fucking potential

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: remember that you are obliged to warn me if my death prophecy is about to kick in.

Father Hazm: What's Derfel's death prophecy?

Oread: Aside from the goat horns they look like your average cute babe.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: iron

Father Hazm: Oh right

Giraldo of Milan: it would be iron-ic to die here

Giraldo of Milan: the cave walls are made of hematite

Father Hazm: "I thought you were one of those faeries that helps the lost, like dolphins."

Giraldo of Milan: derfel, bolad and i will each grab an oread and run off

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: dusan can walk in circles by himself

voda, uhhh, i dunno

Voda: Also like dolphins, they love rape.

Oread: "We help slaves find peace."

Voda: Hmm.

Father Hazm: Good point Voda

Oread: "And freedom."

Voda: "But I heard that Anson pays his employees well."

Bolad: "Easy solution. Hazm will swear an oath to serve Vulcanal covenant and Felice will serve Vardian's Tomb."

Father Hazm: I suppose I can die here because I'll bestarving to death as I refuse to renounce God.

Bolad: That makes you a martyr and you go right to heaven

and then your worldly possessions become relics

Voda: Father Hazm rushing toward martyrdom with open arms.

Bolad: we can cut hazm into pieces and use his bones to give grogs MR

Giraldo of Milan: true, but theres some things you cant have in heaven

for example, goat wives

Dušan of Criamon: Vardian's tomb rushing towards relics with open arms

Voda: Why don't you try propositioning one?

Giraldo of Milan: "You should leave this damp, odorous cave. We have some more refined damp, odorous catacombs."

Bold choice.

Oread: "We have a job to do, good hunter."

moe: """So what's a sexy demon like yourself doing in a damp hellhole like this"""

Father Hazm: "Now who's the slave?"

Giraldo of Milan: "And does it truly need to be done here?"

"I think you'll find more people in Rome than you ever will in these foothills."

"Slaves especially."

Oread: "Are your hot springs under the body of our mother, heated by the struggles of Enceladus?"

Bolad: "True. There is a burgeoning slave market in Rome."

Giraldo of Milan: let me check my guile

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: let's visit enceladus

Dušan of Criamon: "As I've been told, that can probably be arranged at one of the greater markets."

Giraldo of Milan: "Yes."

Father Hazm: "Well there is that bath built by the norseman."

Oread: Father Hazm that's a good point you made.

Father Hazm: "It smells a lot better."

Oread: One looks at Giraldo. "You swear?"

Giraldo of Milan: hmm

Bolad: swear an oath.

c'moooon. do it.

Oread: "Write it on a tablet and cast it into the water, then we'll believe you."

Giraldo of Milan: let me think

Dušan of Criamon: If it fails dramatically, I think I can unseen porter it to the bottom

Father Hazm: Cast unseen hand on the tablet

Make it float

Giraldo of Milan: can i roll faerie lore to see if there is a way to cheat the waters

the oath has to float to be true

Dušan of Criamon: I need to check again which version is the kill

Voda: Well you've just heard two ideas.

Dušan of Criamon: okay float

Voda: Good ol' cheating.

Giraldo of Milan: i like the cheating idea

I confer with Dusan and get on board with the cheating our asses off plan.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: its much funnier if he does.

Oread: 8 botch dice would be very f unny.

Father Hazm: Bolad doesn't roll to do magic powers

Bolad: I mean he's a criamon, so botching is no problem for him

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: give the man a chance to comprehend some twilight

Dušan of Criamon: I also have twilight prone

Oread: nice.

Bolad: l m a o

Voda: It's up to the GM if this is a botching situation.

Father Hazm: GM's call yes

Dušan of Criamon: man sitting down in front of microphone: you know why i came here

Oread: It seems like a stressed situation.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: does the aura make it stressed?

or is that only hostile auras

Father Hazm: GM rolls the stress dice then

Bolad: I don't think aura make spells inherently stressed cumthinker

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i thought they did in infernal auras at least

Oread: I would assume the hostile faeries and threat of injury/death makes it stressed.

is it really eight?

Giraldo of Milan: if the tablet sinks to the bottom i die so bolad will possible have to provide backup

Bolad: no, it's 9

Oread: lmao.

Bolad: 1 botch die + 4 for aura + another 4 because it's a regio

Oread: don't be silly.

Father Hazm: Bolad can use his poewr to catch the tablet after Dusan fucks up

Oread: oh jeez.

Voda: Plus however many he has from flaws.

Bolad: twilight prone means he twilights if even just 1 die comes up as a 1

Giraldo of Milan: have fun in twilight dusan

Giraldo of Milan: ok bolad save my life

Dušan of Criamon: ♪ I'm comin' home ♪

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: farewell.

Bolad: First I need to know how the spell botches

meantime lets help moe figure out twilight mechanics

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: this wouldnt have happened if we had just killed the faeries with spears, swords, knives, etc

vodas a knife guy right

Giraldo of Milan: if we kill them we cant make them our wives

Oread: The tablet bounces off the water and launches several feet into the air as Dusan loses control of his spell.

Giraldo of Milan: well we can but we will have to really threaten hazm

Bolad: Moe you have two options: You can try avoiding twilight, which will put you out of action for 2 minutes, or you can accept twilight, and you are out of action for as long as twilight lasts, which could feasibly be no time at all

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: you shouldn't marry a faerie.

Oread: The Oreads have never seen this before.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: it's dangerous.

Giraldo of Milan: "Huh. Looks like it's extra truthful."

Dušan of Criamon: I wanted to enter twilight as a chargen decision already

Oread: Bolad has a second to try to save Giraldo because I'm being nice.

Dušan of Criamon: hell yes I'm accepting

Giraldo of Milan: "This is a sign."

Oread: Otherwise the tablet will fall and then sink.

Bolad: Alright, I'll Unseen Porter slam the tablet down into the water

wait

are we supposed to keep it out of the water or int he water

Dušan of Criamon: up

Giraldo of Milan: its supposed to float

Father Hazm: Floating on the wter

Voda: It's supposed to float if he's telling the truth.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: what if it just lands on a rock

Oread: The tablet is supposed to float yes.

Bolad: okay I unseen porter it in place on the surface of the water, costing 2 Tengri Points

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: then it didnt sink

Voda: TP

Bolad: Okay Moe, you need to make two rolls now for comprehending twilight

Father Hazm: Enigmatic Wisdom helps you make Twilight beneficial

Bolad: It's your Intelligence + Enigmatic Wisdom + Stress Die

Dušan of Criamon: I'm looking at the formulas

page 88

Bolad: vs Warping Score (I believe yours is 0) + Stress Die

Oread: Okay. The tablet lands on the surface of the water after bouncing, and the Oreads, suddenly next to Giraldo with their fingers inches from his eyes, freeze in place.

Voda: AFK a sec.

Oread: "Wow. Must be a nice place."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr sighs.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "You'll love it."

Giraldo of Milan: "You will."

Felice Grassi coughs

Father Hazm: This is the second time Tengri has saved one of my character's lives

Bolad: And yet you persist in your love of the dead carpenter god!

Bolad: here ill roll it

well nm

Dusan comprehends

Dušan of Criamon: nice

this is what he was made to do

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: how long does it last

Dušan of Criamon: twilight time is int + die vs warping + die

Bolad: If the comprehension roll succeeds, subtract

the maga’s Enigmatic Wisdom score from

the result, and compare that total (that is, the

maga’s Intelligence plus the stress die result) to

the Twilight’s result.

so 4 (what dusan rolled, minus the Enigma) vs 5 (what cumthinker rolled)

Bolad: Because Dusan's adjusted roll is LOWER, he spends a base time in Twilight

Which is 2 minutes

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: he can conf

or wait.

Bolad: actually there's no time listed if the magus has a Warping Score of 0

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: presumably he wouldnt want to

Bolad: So it's vague, he might actually be out of twilight instantly

devil's fav demon (GM): the Oreads seem lost and confused. They mill around you, waiting for directions to their new home. The boiling water calms and goes still.

Dušan of Criamon: . If this

lowers the duration below Diameter, the

whole Twilight lasts a mere moment in the

real world

Bolad: Ah, thanks

Voda: The amount of time you actually spend in twilight is different than the amount of time you perceive in twilight,

devil's fav demon (GM): what happens if faeries leave their home regio again? do they start falling apart or something?

Father Hazm: As a Criamon you know that time is basically AIDS for reality

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: hopefully

Felice Grassi: i just read this yesterday but i forgot already

Voda: So I mean you wouldn't necessarily want to spend a lot of time in Twilight unless you were, for example, trying to avoid falling into a pit.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: since we are turning jorns public bath into a human sacrifice pit

Bolad: If they go to another Faerie regio I think they may adapt their roles to match whoever rules that regio

If they go to a non-Fae regio they will start to suffer acclimation and fade away

slowly

Felice Grassi: that sounds about right.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: let's turn them all into ladies of the lake

Bolad: good plan

Felice Grassi: that's a fuckin great idea.

Giraldo of Milan: lets

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: ladies of the night of the lake.

Voda: This is erasure.

Of witches.

Father Hazm: Faeries can live in any kind of aura, they just have more vis available to them in Faerie

Bolad: Okay, now continuing Moe's twilight, I'm going to roll a simple die that marks the strength of the twilight

rolling 1d10

Good

Giraldo of Milan: the famous tale of king arthur getting excalibur from the lake of goat babes

Bolad: With the 2 botch die you originally rolled, that means Dusan accumulates 11 Warping Points today

Father Hazm: And if they roll for any powers, they suffer aura penalties

Giraldo of Milan: good lord

Voda: lol

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: are they cognizant

Bolad: In addition to a badass twilight scar, Dusan can get one of the following (judged by the GM):

Felice Grassi: They're not cognizant.

Dušan of Criamon: What I can't figure out is how many warping points I got

Father Hazm: They're cognizant enough if they can leave their original home, probably

Bolad: 22 XP in an Art, Magic Theory, or Enigmatic Wisdom

a Major Virtue

Voda: Yowza!

Father Hazm: Hot damn

Felice Grassi: Nice!

Father Hazm: That's some good twilight

Bolad: A new Formulaic spell of magnitude 11

Felice Grassi: jesus.

Voda: That's pretty high.

level 35.

Dušan of Criamon: I keep saying this: the one thing I made my dude to do well was twilight comprehension

Giraldo of Milan: the gm should roll a die

Bolad: You don't even need to be able to theoretically cast the spell if the GM decides on that one

Father Hazm: Congrats on fulfilling your goal Dusan

Felice Grassi: i think i might do that one

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: a powerful creo herbam ritual

Dušan of Criamon: In true Criamon fashion I will let the stars fall where they may

Felice Grassi: Father Hazm: They're cognizant enough if they can leave their original home, probably

Bolad: Are Hazm & Grassi free of the Orean spell now?

Dušan of Criamon: I'm OK wit this being decided later, the GM has better things to do right now

Felice Grassi: they would never do this of their own free will and are only leaving because you convinced them that you somehow have another Mt Etna in Rome.

Voda: It's so believable!

Felice Grassi: Hazm and Grassi are free to go, yeah.

Bolad: by the time they realize they've been tricked they'll be in stifling dominion aura unable to fight back

Voda: Fu fu fu.

The ultimate hustle.

Bolad: Delightfully devilish, Giraldo

Felice Grassi: Also this hot spring is (for now) a source of fae aquam vis

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: let's dump them in the arthurian lake so they can transform our food source into a volcanic wasteland

Dušan of Criamon: One for the douj thread

Giraldo of Milan: we did it

through the power of lying through my teeth and the blessings of tengri we have freed our friends

Father Hazm: They can become serveants of Morgana Le Fay or something

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: public-use faerie wives

Giraldo of Milan: another gm will have to find us more permanent goat wives however

Bolad: "I confess something feels wrong. We didn't kill anything today."

Felice Grassi: wait a minute. lmao. hazm.

depending on how detailed the king arthur regio is

Giraldo of Milan: well

Voda: You mean "We didn't kill anything yet."

Giraldo of Milan: i guess they can still be our wives in the arthur regio

Felice Grassi: you actually do have another mt etna. because morgan le fay is buried under mt etna.

Bolad: "The Orean mentioned they serve a master of some sort?"

oh snap gm

Father Hazm: They can free the slaves shackled to the false king, Arthur

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: holy shit.

Giraldo of Milan: oh my god

Endrite: One of the unusual things about the King Arthur regio is that there are no wizards or witches.

When there really should be.

Bolad: does that mean there's no morgan le fay in their story?

Endrite: Probably.

Giraldo of Milan: oh i guess endrite has taken over the regio then

thats fair enough

Dušan of Criamon: I remember Merlin being absent

Felice Grassi: rip.

Bolad: We're knights there though

Father Hazm: They'll have to find an undiscovered trod to Morgan's realm

Endrite: I can discuss this with Beardbeard and Johns.

Bolad: I feel that gives us some poewr to change the regio ?

Giraldo of Milan: i only really had one thing set in stone with it

shoudlve done more with it but i couldnt think of anything after hafl quit

because my plan involved beatrice

Endrite: I mean, you could just make them damosels or something.

Female mystery knights, maybe?

Felice Grassi: Bolad: "The Orean mentioned they serve a master of some sort?"

Endrite: There's a lot you can do.

Bolad: "Let's ask Anson if he has any magics to create a volcano, to better adapt the realm of the Khan Arthur to these ladies."

Endrite: Anyway back to the game.

GM: Yeah, the ladies were attendants to the Palici, who are the daimons overseeing this oathmaking process. They did not appear. Odd.

Bolad: "Before we go sodales, we should scan for more regio."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "And that Enceladus is the one heating this spring."

Voda: 2:30 AM: Going back for more regio.

Bolad: "When else will we have a chance to probe this covenant's hidden magical treasures?"

Voda: "Excellent point."

Dušan of Criamon: Though continuing his wise old man routine, Dušan appears a little more upbeat since the encounter with the hoof-women. Perhaps his humors are benefiting from the climate.

I go along with any search.

Father Hazm returns to the company of VT, happy to be free of the clutches of the goats.

GM: What are you doing to explore deeper? It may be dangerous to go further considering all the toxic gas and boiling water in this room.

Well, formerly in this room.

Voda: We have a guy who can handle poisonous gases, so I think we're good to go.

Giraldo of Milan: oh no! its gaseous iron!

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i will activate my night vision goggles again

Voda: I hope the GM is ok.

GM: You suss out another regio level, but the entrance is deep beneath the surface of the water, a cave's mouth at the very bottom, flanked by twin statues of marble. Two men, nude if not for cloaks and sandals.

Sorry.

Voda: Hmm.

Dušan of Criamon: I accept that.

Voda: Well that's going to be tough to explore.

Giraldo of Milan: naked_cape

Voda: How hot is the water?

Scalding?

Derfel ap Cadwaladr peers.

GM: It's not boiling anymore, but it's pretty hot.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Looks unlikely."

Voda: Like, dangerously hot?

Bolad: "Bolad does not swim."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Bolad doesn't bathe, either."

GM: You will not take damage from the heat or corrosion table if you enter the water, no.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: does the other side look dry

Bolad: "Bathing is a disgusting sedentary habit."

GM: The other side looks like it's also pretty watery.

Voda: Who is our best swimmer?

Dušan of Criamon: +2 here

Voda: And also has Second Sight.

Bolad: gonna research Magi of Hermes quick to see if Auram can be used to make an air bubble

Dušan of Criamon: AND diving specialization

jesus

Voda: Sounds like you're the man of the hour!

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i can swim, also

Dušan of Criamon: Perhaps my charts were all misaligned and at Ragusa I should have gone further south

perhaps Sicily is the where the planets want me

GM: Well, if you want to give it a shot and check it out, go for it.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr:  mournfully  Dusan wants to explore shipwrecks

Bolad: lol

Dušan of Criamon: No. In complete humility, I decline. The enigma has revealed enough to me today.

I will return.

Bolad: my research makes me think Aurum can't be used to make an airbubble for us

devil's fav demon (GM): This is probably not the last chance you'll get to explore this place. Fair choice.

Dušan of Criamon: (I want to spec up my dude a little before killing him to something as mundane as hot water)

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: it's pretty deep right

Voda: We can "Czech" it out later when we wizard war Anson.

GM: It's very deep.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: well, i cannot die of drowning.

Bolad: lavinia has an enchanted item for water breathing

for if we choose to come back some day

Father Hazm: I'll avoid entering a very strong faerie regio as I am disoriented enough

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: but it's not something i want to go through.

GM: If only you had something like a... Big glass whale, or something

Bolad sighs deeply

Voda: That would be too big.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: what if we had an elementalist who could easily turn water into air

Voda: Obviously.

Bolad: what if we had an undead zombie who doesn't need to breath

as well as a talking skull, who also doesn't need to breath, and a wooden construct, who doesn't need to breath

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: does voda breathe

Voda: Yes.

For now.

Dušan of Criamon: something tells me changing the ecosystem under a volcano will have absolutely no side effects on the island above

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: ok but does he  need  to

GM: Well, getting through this water to the doorway underneath is just the first step. Who knows what's on the other side.

Voda: Yes.

Bolad: probably a faerie mad we took off with their servants

GM: I sure don't, because I didn't plan this far.

Father Hazm: The skull needs a magic or mundane aura to live

Giraldo of Milan: my god. its the true goat wife heaven

Voda: I'm only legally and spiritually dead.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: the pure land

Bolad: outer goat heaven

Voda: Not physically dead.

GM: Bolad: outer goat heaven

Dušan of Criamon: I respect a GM willing to reveal what's behind the curtain

Father Hazm: I respec to GM to become more powerful

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: so are we putting the nymphs in the public bath, or in the lake

Bolad: dfd really lucked out that we wimped out today

GM: lol

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: one in the lake, three in the bath, one in the tiber

Father Hazm: If Voda has no soul does that mean astrology doesn't work on him?

Voda: He does have a soul.

Giraldo of Milan: theyll die if they arent in the regio

Bolad: it's good for business to have a bunch of sultry goats hanging around the bathhouse

Father Hazm: Is it in your body?

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: it is.

Voda: Yes.

Father Hazm: Hmm

Giraldo of Milan: if you divine vodas current condition though, you will find that he is dead

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: we can rotate them from the lake to the bath

Bolad: I was serious about asking Anson if he has any spells or something that can create a volcano in the King Arthur regio

Dušan of Criamon: Nonsense! Astrology works on everyone under the night sky.

GM: if you decided to enter combat you were going to have to deal with environmental hazards as i shot geysers of boiling water at you every round so it's probably for the best

Bolad: ooooh

Voda: We should ask Anson this!

Bolad: would there have been a hex grid?

GM: no.

Bolad sighs

Father Hazm: Hex Grid Win

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: how much of that would be out of spite over using the ars magica combat engine

GM: i can never reveal.

Bolad: i wouldn't have minded

GM: Oh, that's a good thing to ask Anson.

Bolad: killing things is rewarding

Dušan of Criamon: mutually assured destruction

Father Hazm: Lets use a Hex Grid + the GURPS action economy where turning your character around is taxed in the action economy

GM: If he doesn't have one on hand he's probably excited about the prospect of inventing one.

Being a Bonisagus.

Father Hazm: So everyone has to have a hex-shaped token with an arrow on it showing what direction they are facing

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: the moops action economy

GM: :jackbud:

Voda: We are getting the Big Book of Bonisagus Spells for this adventure so it might be in there.

Father Hazm: Let's go talk to Anson

I don't think anyone wants to wander into another faerieland

Voda: That's where you're wrong!

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: are the faeries just following us

Father Hazm: They follow us while doing the cute draenei wiggle walk

devil's fav demon (GM): Yes, until you take them home.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: unfamiliar with this walk

devil's fav demon (GM): Felice collapses in his brother's arms. Fedele is crying, but Felice is too dehydrated to do the same.

Fedele Grassi: "You're saints! Thank you!"

He carries his brother inside to get him water and alert Anson.

Giraldo of Milan: Father Hazm: They follow us while doing the cute draenei wiggle walk

they do

Voda: TFW you try to do a sauna challenge.

Anson of Bonisagus: "Vardian's Tomb saves my covenant again. You really are something special."

Voda: "You're welcome. It's our pleasure."

Anson of Bonisagus: "What happened to the poor man?"

Voda: "Vardian's Tomb values your support and friendship in these troubled times."

Father Hazm: "As suspected, the horned women did lead him astray."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Faeries trapped him in the volcano regio."

"It shouldn't happen again."

Anson of Bonisagus: "Volcano regio? Good Lord, I really should get out more. So much knowledge about this covenant's grounds were lost with Tasso."

* was

Voda: So much data was lost.

Bolad: We're always happy to help chart it out ..... for a price

Father Hazm: "It seems you could do with more scholars here. Vardian's Tomb seems to attract magi from all across the globe, perhaps you could do something similar for recruitment."

Voda: AFK a sec.

Giraldo of Milan: the... globe...?

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Just borrow a couple apprentices."

Father Hazm: *Europe

Bolad: Yes Giraldo, the globe.

The world is round.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "The place will liven up in no time!"

Dušan of Criamon: Dušan chooses humility in silence rather than declining a reward.

Father Hazm: Sorry, I had Europe in my head but my fingers typed globe

Anson of Bonisagus: "Maybe the next spring season will bring this covenant into its own Spring."

Bolad: The world is a Globe enclosed within spheres of globular crystal. C'mon every peasant knows this

Dušan of Criamon: Behind Bolad, out of sight, Dušan smiles and shakes his head

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: oh yeah anson's been cooped up for 7 years reading lab texts hasn't he

Bolad: "You could also consider returning to the safety of being a client covenant."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i don't think i know the inner workings of house bonisagus ic though.

Father Hazm: "I could ask some contacts at Bologna whether they know of any Mathematici interested in studying here."

Bolad: "Let the bad boys of Vardian's Tomb fight your battles for you so you don't get distracted from the important things."

Anson of Bonisagus: "First a church, and then an open invitation. The Tribunal must think I've kept people out on purpose, but I've just been so busy."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "With the folio completed, will you have more time for other business?"

Voda: Ok I'm back.

"What if you had more help?"

Father Hazm: I think I'm going to write a letter to Savelli encouraging a monastery be built here with wine-making monks.

Bolad: Does Anson own most of this land in proper title? He could donate it to a monastery accordingly

Anson of Bonisagus: "Yes, I should have more free time than I know how to handle. Some new faces around here would be welcome."

Bolad: "May we take an arcane connection from somewhere around here to let us come back quickly in case trouble returns?"

Anson of Bonisagus: Yeah, Anson has the rights to the covenant itself and the vineyard, left to him in Tasso's will.

Voda: Hmm, could we volunteer our time to help out Anson?

Anson of Bonisagus: "Of course, of course."

Father Hazm: "Oh yes, the herbalist and the bird botherer use those to travel, right?"

Bolad: bird botherer

Anson of Bonisagus: Also a church would be good for that village, which clearly still follows pagan beliefs

Giraldo of Milan: bird botherer

Anson of Bonisagus: bird botherer.

Bolad: brb

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: feathery pussy

Voda: No.

Father Hazm: Maybe

Anson of Bonisagus: Anyway, 7xp and I'll write up the folio after the game and post it.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: hell yeah.

Dušan of Criamon: Score!

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: with regards to the folio.

Voda: What kind of expertise does Anson need to rehabilitate his covenant?

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i guess i did take a couple actions that warrant xp allocation though

Father Hazm: I'll start a correspondence iwth the Savellis regarding the management of Catania

For Chamberlain XP

Voda: Are we doing correspondence XP?

Bolad: lets Craft and Build this covenant

Giraldo of Milan: Derfel ap Cadwaladr: feathery pussy

Anson of Bonisagus: I'm not sure of the exact steps you'll have to take to build Vulcanal back up to a Spring covenant right now, but I'm assuming he needs a new groundskeeper, a few more guards so these poor brothers don't get overworked, and some magi with their own agendas to fill all that empty space inside.

Father Hazm: I'll post something in the thread regarding Hazm's ideas

And if the covenant comes up again maybe they'll be reflected in the current status of it

Voda: Let's import a bunch of Order of Solomon sahirs.

Bolad: ^^

Father Hazm: Nice

Anson of Bonisagus: Hell yeah.

Bolad: Let's kill Hugo di Capocci and give all his hedge wizards to this covenant.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: physically pick up the praeco's covenant and move it to vulcanal

Father Hazm: I'll see if I can send some Learned Magicians who can bless a vineyard his way

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: now vulcanal is TWICE as big

Bolad: lol

But to be clear, we're only helping to build up Vulcanal so we can wizwar and steal all its good shit later, right

Father Hazm: Hazm's too busy helping out Sapienza students to leave Rome for good

Speaking of which I should start assigning chamberlain duties to Summer since that's when Sapienza is shuttered

Dušan of Criamon: I'm almost tempted to maybe set up a second home there

clearly the weather does me good

devil's fav demon (GM): thats what I assume, Bolad

since helping him out just to be nice seems insane for this group

Bolad: i wonder, would he pay for an animo that wards a village or boundary area from volcano damage

Dušan of Criamon: folks, it's been terrific entering twilight and living to tell, but I am starting to feel sleep medication kicking in and I'd like to get stuff done tomorrow

Bolad: Cheers Dusan

Moe

Dušan of Criamon: I'll be retiring now, thank you all for a great evening

take care

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: gg

Anson of Bonisagus: gg

That's a pretty good animo since it's about time for this volcano to blow.

Bolad: thanks for running dfd!

Father Hazm: Hazm helps people because it's the pious thing to do

Voda: Good game.

Nice and short.

Anson of Bonisagus: Thanks for playing!
