1 aging point in Communication.

dys (GM): What was the adventure in 1322?

Endrite (GM): Infernal Aura in the Trastavere.

All the adventures are on the wiki in the Chat Dump.

dys (GM): Oh, yeah. I'd got it mixed up and thought that was part of the one you ran with the tainted vis.

Endrite (GM): It was kind of similar.

I didn't want to run my adventure right after but events forced my hand.

SPECIFICALLY THE EVENT OF JOHNS NOT WANTING TO RUN A GAME!

dys (GM): What was the adventure xp from yours again, and I'll get my seasons sorted.

Endrite (GM): 8

dys (GM): Thank you, sodales.

johns (GM): prinny i updated hauteville's char sheet to put combat stats

cthinker (GM): yo

johns (GM): ave

cthinker (GM): salvete

do we have a new 'zard

johns (GM): DFD is spectating I think

Darvin: Greetings

johns (GM): Heya

dys: I just realised I have the Book Learner virtue and now need to go back and check all my seasons and fix them.

johns (GM): Nice.

Bookkeeping ftw.

Who's ready for some gaming

cthinker (GM): i am ready for some football.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: Prithee.

Archibald of Guernicus: I am always ready, to game.

johns (GM): Hither and tither

Endrite: When you think about it, moon monsters are just Humanity Sprites.

Darvin: Ready

johns (GM) looks up from prayer

johns (GM): Moon monster??

First a couple things to settle

I don't know if anyone remember the weird houserules about Penetration

but I suggested we scrap them and got no feedback for or against so I would like to just reset to RAW

Endrite: Alright.

johns (GM): since penetration is now an Art I'd just suggest the skill gets Halved in all formulae

& leave it at that

Archibald of Guernicus: By RAW it's just how much you overcast by, plus your penetration skill, right?

johns (GM): Yeah, plus sympathetic bonuses and such

Second

There is a pending motion to amend the covenant charter and remove Lavinia from the list of archons

Endrite: Hmm.

Who would get her position?

Darvin: For the Pen thing, I'm pretty sure that was a RK thing to prevent being able to over pen very powerful creatures

cthinker (GM): in-character we're still waiting on news about the angel, right

johns (GM): OK, I can jump to that

Proclus of Rome: Wait I want to discuss voting rights.

cthinker: voting rights: landed only

Archibald of Guernicus: It's good to overpen and kill powerful creatures, imo.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: i think the problem was that it was way too easy to overpen and kill powerful creatures

johns (GM): the house rules were brought up last campaign where we had magi 70+ years out of gauntlet with newbie magi and the newbie magi couldn't do shit

Aristocritus of Trianoma: i don't actually know though

Archibald of Guernicus: Right now everyone is on fairly level footing so they feel redundant.

johns (GM): Specifically Venzi was really good at killing monsters, but Venzi was also the oldest and strongest of Magi

Proclus of Rome: What if you could talk to the monsters?

Aristocritus of Trianoma: and so handsome too!

well. i assume he was actually a hideous warp-scarred monster

Darvin: So for RAW pen, do you still roll a stress die?

johns (GM): nah he was really obsessive about not getting warping points at all

Aristocritus of Trianoma: oh, nice

johns (GM): You don't need to roll a die at all, since your Penetration is calculated as a result of your spellcasting roll

Proclus of Rome: It's a shame that there aren't any mechanics about appearance.

johns (GM): if Venzi is still around at age ~130 he's the primus of house tremere by now

Archibald of Guernicus: Do we have any tremeres?

johns (GM): Nope, though there is a Tremere covenant in this tribunal

Bonfilia of Verditius: the primus of house tremere will be involved in an adventure im planning

johns (GM): oh nice

then make it whoever you like

Proclus of Rome: Tremeres are a bunch of tyrants.

Darvin: How likely is a Magi to live to 130?

Aristocritus of Trianoma: can we get some mapgame music for the map screen

Bonfilia of Verditius: fucked up but true

130 is pretty likely

johns (GM): you can upload your own tracks to soundcloud if you want to put some custom music in

what's that really annoying track from eu? I should see if it's here

Archibald of Guernicus: I do that for my own game, but none would fit for ars.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: falalalan?

Bonfilia of Verditius: lets get some falalalan up in here

johns (GM): not on soundcloud

They need to implement youtube jukebox already

Proclus of Rome: I put the best song on here already.

In Taberna.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: nice

johns (GM): Alright, so let's deal with the aftermath of Endrite's adventure before calling a vote on Lavinia's execution or whatnot

Venator ex Misc: Did Proclus do an Aegis at end of year 1323?

Proclus of Rome: No.

Venator ex Misc: Will he

Proclus of Rome:

rolling 1d10! + 23

Yes here it is.

Venator ex Misc: Very good.

Right after the aegis Venator calls y'all in for a council meeting

Proclus of Rome: Shocking.

Venator ex Misc: He's in a foul mood, which none of you have seen before.

"Someone has alerted me to the details of your activities in the Parthenon of late."

"You've been dealing with supernatural forces beyond your comprehension. You should know better. I've been giving you all great leeway to run this covenant as you see fit but maybe I expected too much of you."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "We were assailed by a demon, what did you expect us to do?"

Joshua S. (GM): greetings

Venator ex Misc: salve

Proclus of Rome: "What else were we supposed to do? You haven't paid any attention to the affairs of this covenant while we have been constantly assailed, belittled, and ignored by the Tribunal."

Aristocritus of Trianoma: salve

Archibald of Guernicus: "At nae small personal cost." I add to Bonfilias statement.

Venator ex Misc: "I have my own affairs to tend to Proclus. I am not your nanny."

Joshua S.: actually we elected venator covnanny in 1320

Venator ex Misc: "Bonfilia, I understand you have a few questionable items from that night's escapades. I will take on the task of verifying their provenence."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Very well."

Proclus of Rome: That saves me the trouble of making a card for them.

Venator ex Misc: "If I should find you have assaulted a create of the divine, I will have to rethink all of your memberships in this covenant."

Bonfilia of Verditius: I give him the rod and the hammer to examine.

Proclus of Rome: You carry them around?

Bonfilia of Verditius: we're at the covenant

Venator ex Misc: "I will need some time to travel and take these to someone I trust to inspect."

"You can take this opportunity to meditate on the fault of hubris in my absence."

Bonfilia of Verditius: I roll my eyes.

Venator ex Misc: If there's nothing else, he packs up to take a trip and departs the next day.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: lol

Proclus of Rome: Not a surprise.

Anything to avoid leading.

Archibald of Guernicus: :byewhore:

Venator ex Misc: Hm, so now that's out of the way

As I mentioned, there was that pending motion to remove Lavinia from the list of archons

Aristocritus of Trianoma: nay

Proclus of Rome: Who proposed it?

johns (GM): Bonfilia

Proclus of Rome: Hmm.

Nay.

johns (GM): lol

Ferris of Trianoma: Nay, she was requested to put herself in harms way.

Bonfilia of Verditius: hey hey

let's consider the situation here

Proclus of Rome: Ok.

Nay.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: debate. debate!

Archibald of Guernicus: After being nailed to the floor and she didn't assist, I vote aye.

Bonfilia of Verditius: Not only did she not follow the archon's decision in a moment where we needed a "tiebreaker" but she also refused to aid in the battle against the demon in defense of her Sodales. Clearly she is an unfit leader.

This is a small penalty, overall.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I note that a decision of 6/7 magi is necessary to change the charter, which is what you're calling for

Bonfilia of Verditius: If such actions are allowed without punishment, then the charter is a sham and ought to be disbanded completely.

As it serves no purpose, and binds none to it.

Proclus of Rome: You're welcome to vote to dissolve it.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "I'm glad we know where everybody stands, then."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: i'm mostly afk for the next 5-10 minutes. i apologize, but the interviewer came late/ran over.

Proclus of Rome: Trouble with the cops?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: rope kid is now producing original content for r/watchpeopledie

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Very well, if the charter is to carry no penalty, then I vow to ignore it from now on."

Proclus of Rome: "I wouldn't expect you to follow a rule if it didn't benefit you personally."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "I'd hate to break your expectations, Proclus."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Calm down, calm down. Ye cannae go throwing it out the second things go a wee bit off track."

"Listen, instead of something as severe as removing Lavinia, when we still have no idea how she'd even be as leader, a smaller but suitable punishment as a regular proposal."

Aristocritus of Trianoma: "And if it turns out that Lavinia was correct, and it was an angel after all?"

Archibald of Guernicus: "Well... that's another matter entirely, then."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Then let the punishment be lifted, simple as that."

Ferris of Trianoma: "So what is the punishment, if not removal from an option of leadership?"

Archibald of Guernicus: "Seizing of assets is usual within the tribunal."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "I could cancel her longevity ritual, I suppose. But that'd be far more severe than what I proposed."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Are you planning to bring a legal case against me?"

Archibald of Guernicus: "Would ye rather we had anarchy and magi conspiring against one another?"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "File your case if you like, you'll just make a fool of yourself."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Think of it this way. Bonfilia is agreeing that going against the charter is deserving of punishment. If ye disagree with her actions, morally or otherwise, then the same rules apply when another is in charge. And she'll have to follow the charter as well."

Proclus of Rome: Where is the charter physically located, by the way?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "I see nowhere in the charter that empowers the Archon to order other magi as if they were apprentives or covenfolk, and certainly not to order them into harm."

Aristocritus of Trianoma: in the realm of forms, on the same shelf as the british constitution

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "If we are going to suggest that the charter does so, then the next time I am planetary archon I will order you to jump off a bridge. And when you refuse we will just be going in a circle."

Aleseta of Bonisagus walks through the room with an armful of lab texts.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "What's going on?"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Spirited discussion"

Bonfilia of Verditius: "The archon is meant to decide when we reach an impasse where none of us can agree. We were made to present one of us to the faerie, and none wished to present themselves."

Aristocritus of Trianoma: "Death threats."

Proclus of Rome: "Bonfilia is trying to exercise powers that she doesn't have."

Aleseta of Bonisagus nods and hustles to the library, returning a minute later.

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Gracefully, I did solve the situation by presenting my own pawn. But that is not the issue."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Then how about we decide on the precise limitations of the archon, over others?"

Proclus of Rome: Also Venator yelled at us for killing an Angel.

Which I was not party to, having been in France at the time.

The perfect alibi.

No one would ever lie about being in France.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: proclus you schemer

Aristocritus of Trianoma makes a note in his intrigue journal

Proclus of Rome: "The reigning planetary Archon is only empowered to make decisions, not with any authority over his sodales."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "If the archon has no authority, then what is the point of its existence?"

Archibald of Guernicus: "The limitations of authority are important. What to pursue and how to pursue it, are valid."

Proclus of Rome: "To prevent the covenant from spending all it's time arguing!"

Aristocritus of Trianoma: "We killed the... whatever it was. Why don't we just carry on as usual for a few more days until Venator comes back and has us all marched?"

Archibald of Guernicus: "I'm disappointed that Lavinia wouldn't help her sodales in danger, but ultimately Proclus is right. Ye can't order another magus to battle."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "No need to fear, what we slew was a demon, not an angel. And it was in self defense."

Walrad the Chamberlain: Your chamberlain enters, bearing an expression mixing equal parts stoicism and repugnance.

Bonfilia of Verditius: "We're in the clear."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Well  I  didn't kill an angel so I don't know why I'd be marched..."

Proclus of Rome: "What is it, Walrad the Chamberlain?"

Walrad the Chamberlain: "Excuse me, my lords.. You have a.. visitor."

He shudders.

Proclus of Rome: "Is it that skeleton again?"

"Tell him he doesn't need a bed so I'm not going to give him one!"

Walrad the Chamberlain: You hear a bell ringing and smell a stench of decay as your visitor enters uninvited.

Proclus of Rome: "Unless he specifies that as his favor, of course."

Klybutes of Tytalus: "Salvate, Sodales. Do I hear the sweet sounds of argument in the air?"

Bonfilia of Verditius: "It is ever present."

Proclus of Rome: "It isn't an argument, it's yet another attempt by Bonfilia to seize control of the Covenant through trickery."

Klybutes of Tytalus: "A Tremere in our midst! Heavens save us."

Aristocritus of Trianoma: aristocritus grits his teeth and greets his former master

Klybutes of Tytalus: Klybutes moves in for a big stinky leper hug on Aristocritus

Aristocritus of Trianoma: Salve, Klybutes.

Klybutes of Tytalus: "You don't sound excited to see your beloved parens, filius."

"Have you forgotten? It's been 10 years since you were gauntleted."

Proclus of Rome: Congratulations!

Aristocritus of Trianoma: "I've heard stories about the last time you tried to drop by and say hello."

thank you.

lmao

Klybutes of Tytalus: "I can't tell what you're mumbling about. Well it doesn't matter. I brought a gift for favorite filius and his amici."

Proclus of Rome: Uh oh.

Klybutes of Tytalus: He looks about disdainfully. "Goodness. You call this dump a covenant?"

Proclus of Rome: "Barely."

Ferris of Trianoma: "Cost, quality, or location."

Proclus of Rome: "We have none of them."

Klybutes of Tytalus: lol

Aleseta of Bonisagus: lmao

Bonfilia of Verditius: "It's a living."

Klybutes of Tytalus: "I'm sure you'll love what I've got. It's, well, you could think of it as an invitation. A chance to earn some vis at a place more scenic than this hole in the ground."

Aleseta of Bonisagus sighs at the idea of leaving Rome.

Klybutes of Tytalus: Happy sigh or discontent

Proclus of Rome: I went to France recently and it's terrible.

No one speaks Latin!

Aristocritus of Trianoma: "Considering the circumstances, a change of scenery might not be too bad."

Proclus of Rome: I think they're at war with England or something.

Archibald of Guernicus: "Aye, good to get out and about for a bit."

Klybutes of Tytalus: "Are you familiar with Lake Garda? Pleasant place, north of here. There's a promonotory that juts out into the lake, very scenic."

Aristocritus of Trianoma: my only weakness: promises of vis

Proclus of Rome: "Who rules it?"

Klybutes of Tytalus: "The Baron of Sirmione. Though the promonotory itself is abandoned."

"Well, abandoned by mundanes."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: (muttering) "Garda... Garda.... ?"

Aleseta of Bonisagus remembers she has no area lore.

Klybutes of Tytalus: Klybutes helps himself to a chair at your council table.

"Important thing is this. Once a year, around spring when the rains come in and the snow melts off the alps, the lake rises and that promonotory becomes an island."

"When the boundaries are blurred like that.. Those are spots where Fae like to take root. And there's a particular Faery living in the area who loves to reward her favorite visitors with vis."

Proclus of Rome: "Clearly they Sirmione is in need of an aquaduct."

Archibald of Guernicus: "What manner of fae is it?"

Klybutes of Tytalus: "A queen."

Proclus of Rome: "What is this one obsessed with? Human suffering? Despair? Misery?"

Klybutes of Tytalus: He grins. "Games, Proclus."

Archibald of Guernicus: I've got a lot of fae blood, maybe she'll like me.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: "Naturally."

Proclus of Rome: "Wonderful. I can't wait to see what a fairy thinks is fun."

Klybutes of Tytalus: "Now the entrance to her regio is most open around this time. If you were feeling up to earning some vis you'd want to head out very soon."

"I'm happy to make myself home here and watch the hearth, so to speak."

Proclus of Rome: "Why, are you petitioning to join the Covenant of Vardian's Tomb?"

Aleseta of Bonisagus emerges in dusty alpine milkmaid clothing.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "When do we leave?"

Klybutes of Tytalus: "No thanks, but I'm flattered, Proclus."

Proclus of Rome: How many milkmaid costumes do you have?

johns (GM): Who is interested in this journey? I suggest a diverse cast

Aristocritus of Trianoma: "The catacombs really aren't so bad. You'll love them once you get used to them."

Archibald of Guernicus: Are fae in ars magica vulnerable to normal weaponry? Only checking of course.

Proclus of Rome: Proclus is absolutely not interested in travelling to a Fairy Regio.

Yes.

Bonfilia of Verditius: I'll go

Ferris of Trianoma: If Proclus stays behind, it seems fine to Klybutes around.

Ferris will go.

Archibald of Guernicus: I'm going, I've got nothing against fae.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: i'm in obviously

Archibald of Guernicus: Vis is vis

Aleseta of Bonisagus practices her alpine horn calls (and is going).

Aleseta of Bonisagus: vis, vis, or vis: no magi travels for free.

Endrite: I'll play Voda, a guy who showed up at the covenant to talk to Venator.

He's a candle maker.

johns (GM): The guy who's legally dead?

Voda: Yes.

johns (GM): Nice.

What's with all the dead people in this crypt!!!

Aleseta of Bonisagus: lol

johns (GM): So the party is: 5 Magi & 1 companion?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: i still haven't made a companion i'm sorry!!

johns (GM): Personally I'd like to see more grogs who the GM can slay without remorse but that's just me

Voda: Well then you should go yourself.

Archibald of Guernicus: I'll need a companion too, at some point.

Ferris of Trianoma: I need to make a physical combat grog.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: although in this case aleseta would be more appropriate than any companion i was thinking of taking, tbh.

johns (GM): Yeah

Voda: Alpine Milkmaid Grog

johns (GM): btw, is Aleseta's goddess a faerie or magical creature

Aleseta of Bonisagus: HHHHmmmm

good q

johns (GM): not relevant now but would be cool to decide later

Aleseta of Bonisagus: yeah. it's frau holda and idk if she or her various forms are covered in the books.

johns (GM): Ombra is a deranged lunatic who was possessed by infernal dreams to commit serial murders

Then he got flayed by Bonfilia

(response to ferris)

Bonfilia of Verditius: it is what it is

Ferris of Trianoma: I'll leave Potom behind and bring out Ombra

johns (GM): Hell yeah

Ferris of Trianoma: Ferris behind*

Aristocritus of Trianoma: i don't remember the flaying part

Voda: Ombra is a grog right now but he could be upgrade to a companion.

johns (GM): not jumping ahead too far but each player will have 1 "contestant" in the games

Voda: She cut the demonic markings off his back.

Ombra Cadaveri: Greeting, I would appreciate to stay 10 feet away from Bonfilia at all times.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: oh, yeah

Voda: That requires the removal of skin or the application of some kind of magic.

johns (GM): So the party is: Aristocritus, Ombra, Voda, Bonfilia, Aleseta, Archibald

Voda: And who here can even do magic?!

johns (GM) passes a note to a player

Bonfilia of Verditius: if we need to have champions with us

johns (GM): Ok! And we're off

Aristocritus of Trianoma: noo

johns (GM): Noo?

Bonfilia of Verditius: ill bring udolfo as my champion in the games

Archibald of Guernicus: I'm entering myself.

Voda: Why not compete yourself?

johns (GM): does Udolfo have a token or stats

Archibald of Guernicus: Note, I will definetely be using magic to my advantage.

Bonfilia of Verditius: I want to see Udolfo suffer.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: what's ponza

Bonfilia of Verditius: i dont know if he has a token but I think so

johns (GM): Ponza is an uninhabited island that Endrite wanted to explore at some point

Voda: Yeah.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: oh

love to explore.

Voda: It used to be inhabited but Muslim pirates ran everyone off.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: that's how they dp

do

Bonfilia of Verditius: I bring him along anyway as a personal servant, we'll see what I make him do this adventure.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: all right let's do this thing

Voda: Oh also it is believed to be the home of Circe.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: nice

johns (GM): Okay. Near the tip of the promonotory is a ruined Roman villa. As you approach in Mid April, it's currently cut off by the rising lake waters that turn the shallow ground into a little river

Voda: But obviously not anymore.

johns (GM): It's rainy and foggy this fine day. Upon crossing the river, you feel a change in the aura..

Aristocritus of Trianoma: catullus...

Voda: Who here can detect and measure auras?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: probably almost anyone

it's an InVi for babies

johns (GM): If Proclus were here he'd feel it by getting ill

But generally when you move out of the dominion you stop feeling the oppressive judgment of God on you

Voda: Not me!

As I have already been judged by God.

johns (GM): In these ruined grottoes, there are flits of movement and activity just outside your line of sight, or in the swirling mists. How do you wish to present yourselves?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: did we learn the name of this faerie?

johns (GM): Cierella

Aleseta of Bonisagus steps forward.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Cierella! We, the magi of Vardian's Tomb, come to meet with you and wish to enter your court!"

Bonfilia of Verditius: "I love the feeling of God disappearing from my life."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Like a weight being lifted."

johns (GM): There's a sound of chittering and scampering, and a few figures emerge from the mist: A regal looking woman, attended by a pack of goblins, wolves, and crows.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: sick

Voda: Goblins?

Yikes!

Wolves?

Cierella: She bows politely. "Welcome Magi of Vardian's Tomb. To what do I owe the honor of your presence?"

Voda: Yikes!

Aristocritus of Trianoma: crows. yikes

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "We have heard that you are a lover of games. Some in our covenant also share this love and may be delighted to play them with you."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Aye, love 'em."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: she's going to have us play... ars magica!!! *record scratch&

Aristocritus of Trianoma: the cruelest of all fates

Ombra Cadaveri: Alright, everyone start making characters

Cierella: She claps her hands. "Delightful! I love having new faces in the competition."

Archibald of Guernicus: Time to see which of us wins the Ultimate Gamer Challenge 1324.

Cierella: She asks a bit about the outside world, your capabilities, and what your deal is

Bonfilia of Verditius: "I am the master pastry chef and wicked witch, Bonfilia of Verditius. All who eat of my delicacies are entranced... in one form or another."

Ombra Cadaveri: "I'm nimble and handy with the knife, as well as comfortable among the shadows."

Voda: "Please don't kill me."

Cierella: She looks at Voda disapprovingly.

Archibald of Guernicus: "I'm a magus like most of us, got some padfoot blood in me. Me old mum was saved by one on the road before I was born."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "I am most at home on a farm high in these mountains, working my magic with the calm beasts found within."

Aristocritus of Trianoma: I'm Aristocritus, arcane master of the four elements! In my spare time I enjoy slaying ancient beasts and recovering great treasures.

Aristocritus of Trianoma strikes a little pose

Cierella: "Excellent. I have a good feeling about you all. I think you will do well tomorrow."

Voda: "We have to stay here for an entire night?"

Cierella: "In fact.. Allow me to bestrow a special gift. A treasure that has been in my court for generations."

A goblin laughs and howls at Voda.

Cierella presents a dark flower, and waits for one of you to accept it.

Voda: Hmm.

Aleseta of Bonisagus steps forward to take it.

Cierella: You have obtained The Flower.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: YES!! FUCK! YES!!!!

Voda: I have no faerie lore so I'll take one.

Cierella: Too slow, Voda!

Voda: Phew.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: there's just one flower and you missed your chance. aleseta gets to die from this one.

Cierella: "The other contestants should arrive here tomorrow. I will send my heralds to fetch you in the morning. In the meantime, I ask you to abide by my rules."

Aristocritus of Trianoma: lucky.

Cierella: "No Fire."

Voda: Well, it isn't that bad.

Cierella: "Do not harm or harass my servants."

Aleseta of Bonisagus nods.

Cierella: "And let no harm come to that flower."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: oh shit, she thought.

Archibald of Guernicus: "Aye, all sounds good."

Cierella: Cierella bows once again. She lifts a bit off the ground atop a little cloud and backs up into the mist.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: sick

Cierella: It starts to rain.

Aleseta of Bonisagus immediately shields the flower from the rain.

Cierella: Alright you've got the night to your machinations, if you like, and to trying to stay dry and warm

Voda: I'll cower under that arch to stay dry.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Do any of you have any spells that might help protect this flower?"

Bonfilia of Verditius: the mutual killing game starts now

Aleseta of Bonisagus: or to protect us from the rain?"

Voda: "Why don't you just put it in a bag?"

Cierella: the game is Paranoia ttrpg

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "The bag may damage it."

lol

Ombra Cadaveri: "Well this is obviously the first game, someone must have something..."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "A modest Rego Aquam could protect it from water... "

Voda: "What about planting it?"

Archibald of Guernicus: Paranoia is easy to win.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: (Cloak of the Duck's Fethers ReAq 5)

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Wonder what happens if you fail to protect it."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "I assume we lose the game."

Cierella: Aura grants +3 to all Hermetic Spellcasting btw

lemme see here

i have no idea what the description of cloak of the duck's feathers but i can cast that +1 duration, i think?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: it's sun duration

normally

Aristocritus of Trianoma: there's a missing "the" and "is" there

just an "is" i guess

Voda: It's in the core book.

It's ReAq.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: oh, weird

ctrl-f didn't find it

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "And if anyone has Rope of Bronze or sufficient Muto Herbam, we could make it almost impervious to damage."

(Rope of Bronze MuHe 15)

Aristocritus of Trianoma: so, with the 5 extra levels i can cast that at moon duration, right?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: nice

Cierella: Cool

Aleseta of Bonisagus: this flower is dry as fuk

Archibald of Guernicus: Supple Iron and Rigid Rope?

I have that but 0 herbam.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: ??

Bonfilia of Verditius: I have rope of bronze

Aleseta of Bonisagus: nice

Bonfilia of Verditius: I think

Voda: It would need to be a spont though because Rope of Bronze only works on ropes.

Bonfilia of Verditius: wait nope dont have it

but I have high herbam

Aleseta of Bonisagus: It says that, but the base effect does not actually warrant that

Voda: Sure.

johns (GM): agreed there

Aleseta of Bonisagus: The base effect is all-encompassing.

johns (GM): some of the spell examples in RAW are weirdly too specific than they should be

Voda: Sounds like you Lost Out On Value when you learned Rope of Bronze compared to the superior Dead Plant Material of Bronze.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: lol

is bonfilia going to spont RoB or should someone else try? aleseta looks around nervously.

Voda: Sounds like it's on you.

Aleseta of Bonisagus a slightly wild look comes over Aleseta's face as she succeeds at the spell. Her eyes dart around and her fingers move through various Hermetic signs for several seconds before she blinks and regains her composure.

johns (GM): "Oh hello strangers. What are you doing out in the rain on such a miserable night?"

Cierella: says I

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Well, uhm. We should probably prepare a camp and should be ready with Eyes of the Cat for when night falls. Oh hello."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Waiting."

Cierella: She offers you a flint. "No need to suffer while you wait."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Fire? We'll decline."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Thank you, but we will be fine."

Cierella: She pouts. "You're.. declining my gift?"

Archibald of Guernicus: "Little rain never hurt, rains every day back home."

Voda: "You should sleep underneath the arch, it's much drier."

Hello?

Did I get disconnected again?

Cierella: Nah someone just PeIm'd the room

Aristocritus of Trianoma: cthinker's magus here.

Cierella: The fairy pouts a bit. She points to the flower. "That's very nice, may I hold it?"

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "I am sorry, but it was given to us for safekeeping and we cannot allow it."

Cierella: "Rude!"

She huffs and stomps off.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: rude boyz of vardian's tomb

Voda: "Is this what all faieries are like?"

Aleseta of Bonisagus shrugs.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Sort of, yes."

Cierella: 1 sec

Voda: "Very difficult to deal with, even for you, then."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Not all of them. Padfoots guide travellers to safety when lost."

Cierella: Okay, I presume the night passes without anyone here killing each other

Voda: "What if the goblins come back?"

How could I kill any of these people?

Aristocritus of Trianoma: same, honestly

Bonfilia of Verditius: I could kill many of these people, but I won't.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: mm haha

Cierella: smh if you haven't plotted out how to kill every other character yet

Aristocritus of Trianoma: load of bricks levitated over them with the unseen porter while they sleep

Aleseta of Bonisagus: nice

Cierella: In the morning, a few figures emerge from the mist. It's a lady dressed in serving girl clothes, attended by goblins with exagerattedly ostentatious court attire

Voda: "Ah!"

Ombra Cadaveri: Are the goblins wearing the court attire?

Amenea: Yeah.

"Hello.. guests," she says with a bit of annoyance in her tone. She is holding a serving tray with several velvet masquerade masks upon them.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: btw in the morn i want to cast doublet.

Amenea: "I'm to bring you to the court for today's event, but each of you will need a mask for the games."

Ombra Cadaveri: I'll immediately try to grab any mask.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_JF8oSxXtM

Amenea: It's elegant. Do you want to put it on?

Ombra Cadaveri: Yes

Aristocritus of Trianoma: aristocritus stands up to take a mask

Voda: Are all the masks the same?

Amenea: Okay. Ombra's appearance shimmers a bit, and suddenly he has the head of a cat. His outfit has become courtly and solid green.

Each looks the same, yeah.

Archibald of Guernicus: Are they all the same sort of mask, or unique?

Ah.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: :3

Archibald of Guernicus: I take a mask and put it on.

Aleseta of Bonisagus takes a mask and puts in on.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: lmao

Pig: lmao at the horse head sticking out of the iguana's neck

Amenea: lol

Bonfilia of Verditius: lol

Cat: I have a sudden desire to eat Aleseta.

Amenea: Subtly, your senses and personality shift a bit to match your mask.

Aleseta for instance has heightened hearing. but also a fear of Ombra.

Voda feels a bit stubborn, Aristocritus a bit gluttoneous, Archibald a bit playful

Pig: The pig is, of course, the most intelligent of all beasts.

Archibald of Guernicus: I already have gluttony as a flaw, this should be fun

Aleseta of Bonisagus: oh no

Amenea: "Oh, and the queen asked me to give you this for taking care of her flower." The maidservant rolls her eyes as she hands a little lump of grayish clay to Aleseta that feels a bit magical.

Horse: Horse is as everyone can see.

Otter: "Interesting masks."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Thank you!"

Amenea: If you check your dropdowns, you now all have access to your mask

Voda: "I've made a huge mistake."

I don't.

Ram: Thank you.

Amenea: Anyone else I forget?

Pig: sodales, now that the tang priest is dead, let's split up the luggage and head our own seperate ways

Mouse squeaks

Amenea: You all retain your natural speaking and magical abilities so no fears there

With a little impatience, Amenea says, "Alright, now if you'll follow me.."

Mouse: and just to be certain, we just have these heads/features, we're not literally turned into them, yeah?

Amenea: Correct

Ram: "What if we don't?"

Otter: "Calm yerself, let's just follow."

Amenea: She giggles and shrugs.

Mouse follows timidly.

Amenea: Leading you into the mist, you hear the sounds of a crowd grow louder as you approach, and then you emerge into

Mouse: mmmm

Ram: Spooky.

Amenea: This but there's also a lot of goblins and stuff

Mouse: sick!!! this is dope!!

Ram: Ruined gothic arches even though the Gothic style has just been invented.

Mouse: THANK you

that's the power of fae

Ram: Help me doctor.

johns (GM): Standing by the Queen's platform is another party of 6 with similar attire and animal heads, though their clothes are red.

They regard you first with a look of shock, then annoyance (as much as animals can express this)

Mouse:  this shocks you

johns (GM): You note that: The deer is a woman, the rest men. The rabbit in particular is a very burly looking fellow. The Kestrel has a scabbard sword as his side.

Ram: Uh oh.

Otter: "Looks like we've got rivals for the vis."

Mouse: who ar these DICKS

Horse: I nibble on some apples or other tasty food.

Cat: I'm just grooming myself

Cierella: The goblin crowd is quite animated and cheers at your arrival. Cierella raises a hand.

"We can begin! A quick review of the rules for the newcomers.."

"Taking turns, one party will make the challenge and set the conditions. The other party will send forth their candidate, and the challenge responded."

"Now.. begin!" The crowd hoots & hollers.

Ram: "Which party goes first?"

Mouse: the challenge KILL YRSELF LOL

Cat: ^

Cierella: The other party of 6 is a bit stunned and you get your question in

Otter: Hm. Tough, but doable.

Cierella: The Queen says, "You're the new ones, so you may go first."

Cat: Kill your other 5 party members would be a nice one.

Horse: Hmm.

Pig: A drinking contest!

Cierella: You offer that challenge, Pig?

Mouse: if they ask us to sort some mail, i know just the person to take up the challenge.

Cierella: lol

Pig: Yes!

Cierella: The goblins go wild.

johns (GM): The other party huddles to confer, before sending out Pike.

Pig: i've made a huge mistake.

Cat: That guy probably drinks like a fish.

Pig: this guy is going to be able to-

Ram: He can probably drink like a person who can drink a lot of alcohol.

Otter: What sort of ability corresponds to drinking

Cierella: "You'll need somethink to drink I suppose." She waves her hand and some goblin servants bring out a huge vat and some mugs. There is a clear liquid inside.

Carouse

Mouse has 0 Carouse.

Cierella: Stam + Carouse, to be specific

Mouse: WHO GOT THE CAROUSe?

Pig: i think i'm up since i suggested it?

Otter: Likewise, I am afraid.

Cierella: Aye, the challenger must back their own challenge

Well

Mouse: oh shit

Cierella: Actually I won't clarify anything unless you ask Cierella or the faery

Pig: well my token is blown up and set aside and all

Ram: Hmm.

Pig gives the liquid a sniff

Cierella: Doesn't smell like anything.

Ram: Spooky.

Pig: naturally

Cat: There is a good chance you'll be drinking water

Mouse: water full of hep c.

dark fae

Cierella: After a bit of confused dawdling, Pike sticks his head into the vat and starts drinking.

Pig: Hey!

Ram: Why are these guys so confused about everything?

Cat: Someone challenge them to a battle of wits

Mouse: because faeries have the intelligence of a chris elliot character

Pig starts scooping out mugs of water and guzzling them

Cierella: You notice no one provided any mugs

Cat: "She waves her hand and some goblin servants bring out a huge vat and some mugs."?

Pig: the goblin servants brought out some mugs!

Cierella: You notice I lied

Okay, you drink from a mug

Stam + Carouse please

Pig: Truly the ways of the fae are wondrous.

Ram: Goblin Laugh... Won.

Pig: Cheers!

Deer: Deer steps forward to protest. "That's clearly cheating!"

Mouse: "Is it?"

Mouse steps back timidly as soon as she says it.

Cierella: The queen sighs and shrugs, apologetically. "We all saw that, unfortunately..... " She hems and haws. "The round is forfeit. Red, make your challenge."

Mouse: btw i gotta go in about half an hour ~*

Cierella: She gives a sly smile to you all though.

Mouse: mm haha

I should be fine

Ram: I have Strength +1 but I ALSO have Legerdemain +10 and Knives +11

Cat: I have Brawl 13, so hopefully it goes that way

Ram: Ok.

Cat: Punchy cat

I'll step forward.

Rabbit: Rabbit glowers and looks down on you. He stands a clear foot taller than you.

Otter: I have strength 2 and brawl 5 but that beats me out.

Ram: Hmm.

Cat: "How many points are we playing to?"

Cierella: "You've come this far, so let's see each of your skills."

Ram: What are you good at?

I have an idea for a challenge, but I think we should have a confab.

Mouse: i am great at finding/taming animals.

might that might be boring to play through

Ram: That's kind of a weird challenge.

Horse: I'm only good at baking in sinister ways

Mouse: lol

Cat: A bake off seems good

Ram: You could try a stabbing challenge.

Since you have that doublet spell.

Mouse: lol

Horse: I take a penalty if I use my cooking abilities for non-sinister means

Ram: I have a couple ideas.

Mouse: okay since i have to go soon irl i will challenge them to bring three live animals to present to the queen. that's really all i'm good at, unfortunately.

Ram: Juggling, arm wrestling, chess, anything where there's a table and I can stab someone in the leg to distract them.

Cierella: Red party discusses

Horse: to be fair I doubt any of them have baking abilities at all

Mouse: then it's the perfect challenge

Pig: pig here

Archibald of Guernicus: A baking contest will work in our favour

Deer: Deer steps forward. "I accept the challenge."

Mouse nods.

Horse: my baking ability is only 4 if it's a non-sinister roll

johns (GM): Cierella waves her hands and a swarm of snakes and frogs appears in front of her. They immediately disperse towards the crowd.

Mouse: sweet.

Deer: What's your plan?

Mouse: Are they moving around me?

Deer: They're moving away from you & Deer towards the goblins et al ringing the area

Mouse: sorry just a sec

i want to run among them if possible

i have inoffensive to animals

Deer: Right

Mouse: okay friends i gotta run. thanks for running, johns. ~*

Ram: Bye.

Otter: Farewell, mouse.

Pig: shattering fist.

Kestrel: Cheers mouse

Cat: Bye

Pig: adieu

Otter: Maybe a MuIm spell to make a sword look more impressive? So it sounds more graceful too.

Ram: You could make the image of a sword so you can do stuff like pass it through your legs and swallow it.

Otter: Yeah, so 2 senses I think. Base 2 for that.

Sight and sound.

Would that work to give a bonus to the roll, Johns?

Kestrel: Yeah

You're sponting it?

Otter: Yes.

Kestrel: If you cast it then you make a Finesse check to make a good illusion

Otter: MuIm, let's see, base effect is 5.

It's alway a stress die to spont right

Cat: Interesting

Owl: "Without touching them."

He turns his head without moving his body to look at you all.

Ram: Classic Owl.

Owl: "and.. Without casting a hermetic spell."

Cat:  gasp

Owl: ".. Yes. That's my challenge."

Ram: If only Lavinia were here!'

Horse: this son of a gun is going to use entrancement

Ram: Do you have any magical breads with you?

Horse: nothing useful here

Ram: Hmm.

What would your challenge be?

Horse: I could make a challenge to cook the foulest meal possible, and the loser has to eat the winner's meal

Pig: rest in peace, lodewig.

Ram: I don't think you can add a victory condition.

Pig: you can try!

Ram: I think I could probably win a juggling challenge here.

So we might just have to have you throw this one.

Well what do you think?

Cat: Sounds like our only option.

Horse: ok

I guess I'll try to bribe the goblin with a bread.

Owl: Very well

Com + Bargain

Ram: Gift penalty?

Owl: None here

They're goblins, after all

Horse: wait

am I allowed to assault the opponent

Horse: hmm

no other action

Owl: Red takes the round

Ram: Hmmmm.

johns (GM): Your turn to issue a challenge

Ram: Ok I have a couple options here.

A juggling competition or some kind of table based competition where I cheat by stabbing my opponent in the leg whenever they make a move.

Horse: you're not allowed to assault your opponent

Pig: we already know that the goblins love cheating

Horse: stabbing someone leaves evidence though

Ram: Not convincing evidence.

After all, they could have stabbed themselves to ruin my good name.

Cat: Does the table itself stab them, or do you?

Ram: I stab them.

Otter: It's only cheating if you're caught.

Ram: "Can we talk with the opposing team?"

Cierella: "You may."

Ram: Hmm.

I could also organize a dive in exchange for half the vis.

What do you think?!

Horse: challenge him to a fight to the death

if he chickens out you win

Ram: I think that's a terrible idea.

Especially since I'm already dead.

Horse: challenge him to suicide then

you win on the spot

Ram: Ok, I'll go for the juggling competition.

"Whoever can juggle the best... WITHOUT MAGIC!"

Legerdemain + Dex?

Cierella: Yeah

1 sec while the opposing team plots

Ram: Ok thank fairy queen.

johns (GM): Conference finished

Pike steps forward

Ram: Wait he already competed!

johns (GM): Indeed

Ram: Damn we fucked up.

johns (GM): You want to complain?

Ram: No, they got us.

johns (GM): Everyone on Red starts cheering on Pike (except Deer who watches expresionlessly)

Ram: Hmm.

Cat: Hey, atleast we will get an exciting tie breaker :D

Ram: Wait a minute, is Pike a magic man?

Go fuck with them and see if that helps.

Horse: I pretend to trip on a root and throw my giant horse body on the deer.

johns (GM): lol

Ram: Uh, you just have a horse head.

johns (GM): you want to scuffle with the other team?

Horse: yeah I'll scuffle

johns (GM): Make an unarmed attack (dex + brawl)

Pig: time to use my other great spell

Otter: Good competition all around

Let's devolve into murder.

Cat

Cat: So, we are not trying to murder these guys?

Ram: That seems like a bad idea.

Cat: That what is our goal here

Then*

Pig: it's a scuffle

Otter: Iunno, Bonfil- Horse is just attacking them for fun.

Cat: Alright, I'll grapple the Kestral

Horse: it's to prevent them from cheating

Pig: right.

johns (GM): Kestrel

Ram: Uh why did you skip me?

Cat: Kestral

johns (GM): Because you are juggling

I assume

Ram: I am/

Otter: Oh. Which one of them is juggling.

johns (GM): Pike

Ram: BUT, I also wink at the audience.

Otter: I'll just cheat and win it for us.

Ram: I'm already winning.

Otter: The rules were  only  about not using magic on yourself, and not on others, for this game right?

Ram: No.

Rabbit: Bonfilia is grappled.

Ram: No magic at all.

Rabbit: Otter, your turn

Ram: In any case I am clearly the superior juggler.

Rabbit: It's indisputable

Ram: Interfering with a contest is CLEARLY against the rules.

Otter: Ah. So if I used magic here to impact the enemy it'd be cheating.

That's fine. I'll mess with Kestral for fun then, to show how playful otter's are.

I cast spasm of the uncontrolled hand on Kestral

Otter: No stress die, though.

Rabbit: >:|

No fun

Otter: It's formulaic, all is well

I don't trust my luck and I was right

Rabbit: Kestrel drops his sword

Deer stands up

Ram: Don't you need a stress die for casting spells in a fight?

Otter: Anyway, a level 5 spell so the pen is 20

Or 18? If we halve penetration.

Rabbit: It's erm

16 + Penetration/2

Otter: Oh, 19 actually.

Rabbit: Deer casts Wizard's sidestep on herself

Otter: Had better pen than I thought.

Rabbit: Bear rushes to Deer's side and shields her with his body

Horse, you are being grappled

A grapple inflicts no damage, but holds

the defender so he can’t escape and his actions

are hindered. The defender is caught in

a hold or lock that lasts until the start of the

Rabbit: attacker’s next turn. After that, the attacker

the hold. The grappled defender suffers a

must succeed at a new grapple to maintain

–6 penalty on all attacks and most reactions,

including Defense and Evasion, and can’t

by succeeding at a grapple of his own, or by

Rabbit: perform spellcasting gestures. He can escape

inflicting any level of wound or Bruise on the

character who’s holding him. It is possible to

grapple while prone.

Otter: Another successful  juggling contest, sodales.

Rabbit: Alright I guess Prinny fell asleep

Pike juggles

johns (GM): And with a wave of her hand, Cierella coats the entire field in thick mist

Horse: im here

Cat: Cool(ing)

Cierella: Too late

Horse: but cant get out of grapple so

Cierella: Well OK then.

"Enough, enough, the contest is decided. Back to your sides, teams."

Cierella consults the fates

Cierella:

Otter: "Never left my side, ma'am." I give a little bow.

Pig: to make a long story short, our team is disqualified and when we get back home we are all executed for diabolism.

Otter: All I did was make an unrelated man to the current contest drop his sword.

Horse: "I just tripped. It's difficult to see with these horse eyes."

Cierella: The mist clears as things settle down

Anyone with Ignem MR

less than 21 is chilled and loses a fatigue, not that it matters

She passes her judgment on each round:

For quick action and skill, Red gets 1 pts on Round 1, but for an amusing performance Green gets 2

Ram: I chill out.

Cierella: For playing well, Green gets 1 pt on round 2

Otter: Cool contest.

Cierella: For ingenuity, Green gets 2 pts on Round 3

Ram: CLASSIC faeirei contest.

Cierella: For a fine show, Green gets 2 pts on Round 4

For ingenuity in the face of crises, Red gets 2 pts on Round 5

For fine performance in the midst of chaos, Green gets 2 pts on round 6

Otter: Easiest vis of our lives.

Ram: Well that depends on what the winners get.

Cat: Won by a landslide. Like 3 to 9 or something.

Pig cheers.

Cierella: Amenea presents a wicker basket with some curious items: Stacks of grinding stones, lumps of gray slime, clear lenses of ice, and phials of water

Ram: Wow, junk.

Cierella: "Victors, take 6 of any you please."

Cat: Is the slime the same that Mouse got?

Cierella: Yeah

Cat: Someone want to check if any/all of them are vis?

Otter: Looks like a good time to spont InVi, what could go wrong.

Ram: If only someone who could quickly and easily cast a spell to type vis was here.

Cierella: Too bad Faeries give him sour tummy

Otter: Real shame. Anyway, I have good intelligo, so here goes nothing. What's the spell level for that sort of thing.

Ram: 4.

Wait, 3.

If you are doing it by sight.

Pig: technically you roll first, then see what kind of spell you can make out of your roll

Ram: 1 if you are doing it by touch.

Otter: Alright then, do I need to check each item one by one or can I do it by sight and see each.

Okay

Pig: so if your roll is really good you should be able to cast it on a group, instead of just one

i think

Otter:

rolling 1d10!+17

+17

Cierella: does that include the +3 from Aura?

Otter: Yes.

Cierella: Discern the Art of Vis is Base 4

Well, I mean, Base 1 determines it's vis (it is)

Otter: With sight its level 10, then.

Cierella: Sight is +4 so it'd be 20 actually

You're thinking Voice

Ram: I AM thinking voice.

Cierella: You can't really intelligo that way

Otter: Oh, well 20 still passes

Sigh still succeeds

Cierella: Nah cause if you're sponting you have to half your roll

Otter: You do? Oh, hm.

Cierella laughs sinisterly and points to ars_magica.txt

Ram: What if you make vis glow with an Imaginem requisite?

Otter: Smell is only +2!

Cierella: Works for me

It smells like: Muto Vis, Intelligo Vis, Aquam Vis, Terram Vis

Otter: Ooh. What do we want, sodales?

I'm very interested in intelligo and terram, not sure what everyone else wants.

Pig: 6 pawns total?

Cierella: current stores: 0 muto, 10 terram, 10 intelligo, 0 aquam

& aleseta already got 2 muto vis earlier today

Otter: Oh, hm.

Ram: Goop vis.

Otter: If anyone needs aquam, now is the time it seems.

Pig: well. if we have 0 we should probably pick some up

Otter: I'm not sure how useful muto vis is, and we have 2, so maybe 2/4 between muto and aquam?

Ram: It's used in ritual enchantments that increase the size of Magic Auras.

Cierella: i will confess Muto got shafted once they implemented Rego craft magic

Ram: Is what I'd say if I had any Magic Theory.

Horse: I shrug.

Otter: Sod muto, I'll recommend for 2 terram 4 aquam.

Horse: Creo and Corpus are the best vis because of longevity rituals, other than that we can go with whatever

Otter: But I'll make the vis types clear to everyone so it's a group decision.

Pig: oh, shouldn't we send proclus out to perfect that well at some point

Cierella: here's some quality 4th edition art for ya

Ram: Maybe, we ended up making a deal with the witch instead of the well though.

Cierella: If there's no objections I'll go with Otter's proposal

Ram: Proclus isn't here so go for it.

Cierella bangs gavel "Sold!"

Cierella: Okay, vis ledger updated

The queen's goblin heralds go through all the motions of a royal exit as Cierella gives her closing speech then departs

Otter: "That was good fun."

Ram: What's her closing speech?

Cierella: Well, she was very glad you came to attend and it was an honor having you

Otter: If this adventure took less than 10 days in total we can still do lab work for the season, right?

Cierella: Now that you think about it, it's not a very good speech, just a faerie pretense of a speech

Yes Otter

Otter: Neat.

Cierella: Her court starts to fade away, and also the glamour of your masks..

Ram: Tricked by a fairy again!

johns (GM): Oh right

These people are here

Pig: lol

Voda: I think we should run away.

johns (GM): As the glamour dissipates you see the woman is wearing an Order of Hermes sigil

Archibald of Guernicus: "Better luck next time, if ye can handle it."

Heliste of Tytalus: "Who the hell are you and why are you poaching our vis?!"

Voda: Uh oh.

Cat: "Sounds like a poor loser."

Archibald of Guernicus: "An old mage gave us a tip, that's all. Ye can take up complaints with him."

Voda: Wait what do they do when there isn't a competing team?

Archibald of Guernicus: Play games for the sake of it or against goblins I guess

Ombra Cadaveri: "Do you not normally compete here?"

Heliste of Tytalus: "I am Heliste, of Luctatio covenant. The covenant nearest to here, if you look at a map."

"So naturally I have to wonder who are you to think you can come into our territory and take our vis."

Voda: Luckily this is the year 1324 and maps exist.

Archibald of Guernicus: "We got a tip's all, calm down."

"Aristocritus, ye tell her."

Ombra Cadaveri: "It seems the magic is up for competition, and you lost. Do better next time."

Archibald of Guernicus: I'm not getting dragged into their silly schemes, the old git can sort himself out

Aristocritus of Trianoma: "Huh! You complain about a little competition over a few pawns of vis, and still call yourself a Tytalus?

Heliste of Tytalus: She grits her teeth and glares.

"There will be consequences to this. You can bet on it!"

Voda: Uh oh.

Lawsuit?

Heliste of Tytalus: Next tribunal in: 1328 AD

get hype

Ombra Cadaveri: hyped

Aristocritus of Trianoma: thoroughly hype.

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh nice, I'll have a lot to do.

Heliste of Tytalus: It's late so shall I speed things along?

Aristocritus of Trianoma: yes.

Voda: If you want to.

Archibald of Guernicus: I think, Johns, I'll devote the rest of this season to quaestirial duties to keep up my obligations.

johns (GM): actually

Archibald of Guernicus: *Quaesitorial

johns (GM): that pretty much covers it unless there's anything else you want to do

Archibald of Guernicus: I don't know if quaesitor duties give xp or any sort of benefit, though I assume something. I'll need to check.

Voda: We're doing two adventures a year, right?

Archibald of Guernicus: I know you're expected to devote 1 season per year to your duties though.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: you probably get exposure or practice xp out of it

johns (GM): Yeah, so next adventure will still be 1324

Voda: How many months should we take?

Aristocritus of Trianoma: don't you

johns (GM): Do any players have a choice of what they want to do? Ideas I've heard are-- exploring the catacombs, exploring Ponza, looking for Bonisagus' well, setting up a lead mine

Also if anyone else wants to run an adventure too that is good

Like if Endrite wants to followup on Venator's investigation

Horse: The charter situation is still up in the air

Endrite: When does he finish investigating?

Ombra Cadaveri: I usually like to play the "DM", but honestly I still feel 50% overwhelmed with this system.

johns (GM): He returns at the end of summer

He had to go to France and then back is all

Endrite: There's also Bonisagus' old house.

For us to find.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: going to france, huh

Endrite: It's within like half a mile of us.

johns (GM): If you can find it

Noting that it existed 500 years ago

Aristocritus of Trianoma: it says here on page 1 of my intrigue journal that going to france is a CLASSIC alibi.

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh, I was slightly wrong, I don't have an obligation as such.

I just get 3 seasons a year to myself guaranteed

He is also entitled to at least three seasons every year

to pursue his own studies or attend to covenant responsibilities. This entitlement can be accrued and so a

Quaesitor may make himself unavailable to investigate

complaints for extended lab work.

Archibald of Guernicus: So Johns, or the current storyteller, decides if I have duties that year.

Anyway investigations are always a hook, for any storyteller that wants them.

johns (GM): Yeah I got a couple ideas for those, they are fun

Endrite: So anyway there IS an adventure in that rod Venator took.

It's pretty open ended because it isn't a reactive-type adventure, though.

johns (GM): proactive vs. reactive

Endrite: Yes.

Also investigating Ponza but I don't know who wants to run that one.

johns (GM): I'm game to set that one up

Endrite: Ok.

It's some wild stuff.

Archibald of Guernicus: I don't know enough about the system to run an adventure right now, maybe one day.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: the trianoma stuff is also real good

johns (GM): i still got those premade adventures up for grabs if anyone wants em

Endrite: What trianoma stuff?

Remember if you don't have an adventure to run we have to have the Criamon blow up the moon.

We could also do something with the upcoming tournament if we really want to get something out of it.

Proclus, for example, is looking for a bride.

Archibald of Guernicus: I'm sure they had a good reason to blow up the moon.

johns (GM): i have noted that Proclus is looking for a wife and archibald is looking for honor

Prinny D.: Bonfilia is looking for opportunities to tempt people into lives of sin and despair.

Archibald of Guernicus: I'm also, in the long run, interested in cleaning up the tribunal if the local quaesitors are being so openly biased.

johns (GM): hmm

ever watch Serpico?

watch your back

Endrite: Ponza is probably a better location for the covenant than Rome.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: maybe once we get our whale

Archibald of Guernicus: I'm a hoplite quaesitor, as things go along I'll definetely set myself up to slay wizards.

Endrite: Ponza is closer to Naples than you put it on the map.

It's about 20 miles from the coast.

Archibald of Guernicus: I'm fine with decapitating corrupt cops.

johns (GM): Perhaps it's one of those magical moving islands

Endrite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkmdYsxYJng

Archibald of Guernicus: It's only 3.4ft from the coast.

It's fine.

Endrite: There's like 5 islands in the Pontine Islands,

Ponza is the biggest one but Ventotene is where some Roman Empire types were exiled.

Oh there was also a saint on Ventotene.

Saint Flavia Domitilla.

johns (GM): capri island where emperor Tiberius used to hang out and be depressed

Endrite: People live on Capri though.

It's part of Naples.

Prinny D.: it's where they make capri sun

johns (GM): Okay so

Endrite: Good vis source.

johns (GM): Investigation results

The hammer is 4 pawns of infernal perdo vis

The rod is Divine

Any further developments on the rod go through Endrite

Aristocritus of Trianoma: what's the deal with sansaron

Endrite (GM): It's a covenant.

Very secretive.

Archibald of Guernicus: The hammer is infernal at least, Bonfilia is maybe not getting kicked out.

johns (GM): Sansaron is a covenant settled by the ruins of Carthage

They are mundane poor but magically rich, the only Roman Tribunal covenant to be so

Prinny D.: It was a demon we killed, so it's all good.

johns (GM): Since they're made up of Moors and Berbers who practice their own Ex Misc magic they have a low reputation

Prinny D.: Does Venator give me back the hammer and rod?

Venator ex Misc: "I don't feel I have the right to deprive you of these, but if you have any sense you'll destroy the vis." He hands em to you

ill post a little writeup of the covenants in the thread

Bonfilia of Verditius: "For sure, my man."

Endrite (GM): Lil' writeup.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: well, obviously we should return the rod to the faerie so he can resume doing god's work

Endrite (GM): That's a fantastic idea.

Bonfilia of Verditius: what type of infernal vis is it?

Endrite (GM): Perdo.

Bonfilia of Verditius: yes but

what grade of infernal is it

Endrite (GM): Vis Sordida.

Or "Sleazy Vis."

So what's the plan with the Rod?

Give it back to Saint Simon Zealot?

Bonfilia of Verditius: Heh, no

Endrite (GM): Well that's the only plan I heard!

Venator ex Misc: I've put the infernal vis on the ledger though I doubt anyone is insane enough to use it besides bonfilia

Aristocritus of Trianoma: how do you destroy vis, anyway

just destroy the actual object and it's gone?

Bonfilia of Verditius: too bad it's weakass infernal vis so it wont give me the good bonuses

Venator ex Misc: PeVi

Endrite (GM): Perdo Vis is pretty easy to do.

Venator ex Misc: bonfilia should become a venatore (demon hunter) so she can slay buff demons and get the potent shit

Bonfilia of Verditius: it's true

I should become that

Venator ex Misc: also don't you get a bonus to your cthonic magic somehow by building up an infernal reputation

Bonfilia of Verditius: no

Aristocritus of Trianoma: sounds like we have 2 votes in favor of returning the rod and 1 against.

Endrite (GM): Proclus naturally votes against it.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I vote it gets investigated

Bonfilia of Verditius: Considering it's in Bonfilia's safekeeping, she has no intention of obeying any vote.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Assuming Bonfilia is OK with it, of course.

Endrite (GM): Investigating it IS an option, of course.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: who gets to investigate it, then

Endrite (GM): Anyone who wants to.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: probably the person who has it and refuses to give it up

Bonfilia of Verditius: Bonfilia is probably the best one at investigating artifacts.

Endrite (GM): There's ways to investigate an item besides finding out what powers it has.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Yeah

Hit the books

Aristocritus of Trianoma: oh yeah, we know what's written on it, don't we

Proclus of Rome: Well I personally am interested in the island of Ponza and finding Bonisagus' house.

Lavinia of Jerbiton cues up the montage music as a bunch of hooded clerks pore over ancient tomes

Endrite (GM): It's something in Hebrew.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I asked a Rabbi what it was

Endrite (GM): Oh well then, tell everyone about it.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: .... I forgot



Ah! now I remember

It said "whoever possesses this rod is an evil person and should not be trusted"

Endrite (GM): Amazing stuff there.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: in seriousness

Bonfilia of Verditius: can't fault the rod

Endrite (GM): Like writing history with lightning.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: it says "King Solomon made me for Kabshiel the Chastiser."

Ergo! Ipso Facto! This rod is Old, and therefore must be Important.

Lavinia of Jerbiton snaps book shut dramatically

Bonfilia of Verditius: sounds like it trapped the demon in it

and we killed the demon

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "There's an easy way to test that."

"Take it outside the Aegis of the Hearth, then throw it back inside."

"If it bounces off, there is a demon in it."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "How do you figure?"

"What if it is stronger than the aegis?"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "I wouldn't suggest that to Proclus."

Proclus of Rome: Hey, it could happen.

I mean, my Aegis of the Hearth is PRETTY good, but with something made by King Solomon who knows?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Could we... Ask the Faerie where they got it?"

Endrite (GM): You can if you want.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I'll do that

and hope it doesn't ask me to hurt myself

Saint Simon Zealot: Alright, you wait around outside the Pantheon.

There's quite a crowd there these days, but you eventually manage to push your way inside.

Saint Simon Magus is happy to talk to you, and says,

Lavinia of Jerbiton: tribunal writeup http://badgame.net/index.php?topic=26550.msg10460244#msg10460244

Saint Simon Zealot: "God delivered it to me."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Sainted one, what form did He take?"

Saint Simon Zealot: "He sent an angel disguised as a penitent to give it to me."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "When did it happen?"

Saint Simon Zealot: "Before it was lost to me."

He doesn't seem very good with time.

Endrite (GM): Oh yeah, we didn't actually stop Milo of Guernicus from poaching our Auram vis.

As far as I remember.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: yeah we never went back

Lavinia of Jerbiton: boy rep said venator took care of it

back when boy rep was runnin the show

Aristocritus of Trianoma: oh, right

Endrite (GM): Ok.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: he was just annoyed by it

Lavinia of Jerbiton: since none of us had a hope of beating an old guy at certamen

Endrite (GM): Any other business at the Pantheon?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: What's the crowd like here

Endrite (GM): It's very crowded.

They're all praying.

Some of them are nailing themselves to the floor.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Adorable!

Aristocritus of Trianoma: how's the aura

Endrite (GM): Fairy 2.

Why do you ask?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Nothing else comes to my mind right now

If I level up my Sortes better I can divine the origins of this rod but nothing for now

Endrite (GM): Ok.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: just making sure

Bonfilia of Verditius: All evidence points to Bonfilia being right, once again.

Endrite (GM): Alright.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: this is wild speculation but I'm gonna divine if there is a regio in the parthenon

Endrite (GM): So is Klybutes a vagrant magus?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Yeah

Endrite (GM): Checking my notes...

Nope, no regio here.

Archibald of Guernicus: A vagrant who wanted to cause an argument between us and another covenant, what a guy.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Tytalus ftw

Endrite (GM): So he's technically sponsored by Vardian's Tomb?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: No, by Luctatio

Endrite (GM): Oh.

What about the chapter house in Venice?

Who is actually there?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: A mundane housekeeper

Endrite (GM): Hmm.

Aristocritus of Trianoma: what's the deal with the planetary saints

Endrite (GM): You mean archons?

Aristocritus of Trianoma: no, the actual saints

it's in the timeline

Lavinia of Jerbiton: okay so

there was an adventure BR ran with Mont-Mercure where a bunch of different people were trying to interfere with the Papal election

there was a rogue Hermetic magi, a pro-Emperor member of the Augustan brotherhood, an infernal diabolist Cardinal

Endrite (GM): Heh, just one?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: and inside the septizodium where the election was held, a bunch of old forgotten faeries decided they want to get in on the fun

So MM did the adventure, stopped the two wizards, and never actually investigated enough to find the faeries

so the faeries got their favored candidate into the Papacy

Aristocritus of Trianoma: lol

Lavinia of Jerbiton: it was a very fun adventure

Endrite (GM): Just use magic to get rid of them.

Archibald of Guernicus: Fae pope sounds like a good funny outcome.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: well it caused a schism

so. that was bad.

Endrite (GM): There ain't no Pope in Rome now.

Way to go Mont Mercure.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: you can read about the adventure in Tales of Power which I think I sent everyone, it's the "A Cardinal Decision" one

its one of the great adventures where they take a real historical issue and then go nuts with it

Endrite (GM): Isn't the GREATER adventure where the moon crashes into Earth and then a bunch of people go crazy?

Ok any other business here?

Those fucking goblins!

Aristocritus of Trianoma: can we get another cheer

Lavinia of Jerbiton: jukebox ftmfw

im gonna play some CK2 and kill some spaniards

later all

Endrite (GM): See ya.

Ha ha ha, the Jukebox is mine now.

Archibald of Guernicus: I muted it earlier when my internet was messing up and the tracks constantly froze and stuttered.
