johns: setting the entire covenant on fire through experimentation rules

endrite what's the current XP/season from a paid teacher

Endrite (GM): Uhhhhhhhh.

10 teaching, 10 ability, 3 communication.

johns: the formula for teaching is Teaching/2 + 3 + comm + 6 for single student?

Endrite (GM): Yes.

I'm thinking that in the future it should be more difficult for magi to benefit from tutoring since the tutor hates you.

c'thinker (GM): you can parma the tutor

johns: i thin that's factored in somewhere

in the section of rules about the Gift and not the sectino about long-term advancement

c'thinker (GM): i assume a shared parma blocks the gift

johns: yeah

all you got to do is touch someone to share the parma, if they are willing to let you feel em up

Endrite (GM): It does but then the tutor has to be with you when you do the Parma ritual.

johns: alright ill pay to train Sir Oak to 10 great weapon and 10 ride

c'thinker (GM): can't you share it any time while it's up

johns: thats what I thought thinker

Endrite (GM): Oh yeah, you can.

You should take Sir Oak on the tournament circuit.

He might make a lot of cash.

Since I believe tournaments of this period require the loser to forfeit their horse and armor.

johns: 10 great weapon isn't that fantastic compared to a trained knight

Endrite (GM): Yeah but he's not going to get knocked down on account of he's made of wood.

c'thinker (GM): a rego vim to share the parma at a distance would be a cool breakthrough

Endrite (GM): It would be an incredible breakthrough.

Any improvement to Parma or Aegis of the Hearth has the potential to change the Order of Hermes.

devil's fav demon: gosh.

c'thinker (GM): parmulae...

johns: base Animo are limited on abilities to Int + Magic Might, should I multiple that by 2 or by 5/3 to account for Abilities as Arts

Endrite (GM): Hmm....

Well, ask the guy who came up with the idea.

johns: yo ROPE KID

Endrite (GM): Speaking of, I think we're all here.

IF WE'RE ALL ACTUALLY HERE!

c'thinker: i'm here but taking a dominions turn

Joshua S.: wat

devil's fav demon: i am here... now

is a pretty solid movie

johns: johns: base Animo are limited on abilities to Int + Magic Might, should I multiple that by 2 or by 5/3 to account for Abilities as Arts

Joshua S.: we halve everything else so doubling seems appropriate??

what do we do with age limits on abilities?

johns: double afiak

Joshua S.: yeah then i'd do the same

johns: alright, Great Weapon 10 & Ride 4 on Sir Oak

c'thinker: sir boak

Sir Oak forgets to hook up his copper

c'thinker: lol

Endrite (GM): I assume Prinny is dead.

johns: i think he's depressed or something idk

devil's fav demon: rip

Endrite (GM): Is everyone ready to start here?

johns: Let's roll

c'thinker: ready-ish

Joshua S.: yes

devil's fav demon: i think so.

johns: Pilum of Fire vs Crass: 12 Damage

Endrite (GM): Dys isn't on Steam, I don't know what's become of him.

I'll give him another minute then we really need to go.

johns mourns the loss of jukebox

Endrite (GM): Just do what I do and listen to this for 4 hours.

c'thinker: did the jukebox stop working

johns: soundcloud has blocked roll20

Endrite (GM): http://www.civilwarpoetry.org/confederate/songs/goober.html

Ok let's do this.

Ildebrando tells you about a strange traveler that has come to the Eastern Ear Inn, even though you're already busy in your lab.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: strange how

Endrite (GM): Well, she's a woman but she's wearing travelling clothes and a sword.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Scandalous

no one appreciates outsiders flaunting convention like Magi do

Ildebrando: "Ordinarily I wouldn't allow this kind of riff-raff in my establishment, but she said that she knows you and that she's here about a favor you owe her."

dys (GM): Oh, I'm not on steam because my computer is breaking. I'm here.

Ildebrando: Bueno.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: i'll hear her out

Ildebrando: Alright, will you receive her in the council room or the inn?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: The inn

Prudenzio of Flambeau: cool.

Endrite (GM): Alright.

c'thinker: finished my dominions turn

Endrite (GM): Those of you who were present for the unsolved murder mystery in Ostia recognize this woman immediately.

It's the woman who was hunting the man in the coffin.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: i don't remember what we did. did we let her take the man with her

Aristocritus Bonisagi: she was really rude about my window

Endrite (GM): You did.

And she was.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: what was her name, again

Endrite (GM): She never said.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: mysterious!

Endrite (GM): Everyone just called her Lucatiel.

Which is NOT her name, probably.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: (was not here for the mysteriy in ostia!!)

Endrite (GM): Well, long story short, she's a bounty hunter.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: It was something Boyrep adapted from Warhammer

Endrite (GM): Or at least she was hunting a bounty.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: Ah.

Endrite (GM): She has some familiarity with the Order of Hermes.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: We never really solved the mystery but we found out there were evil diabolists around, and then it sorta ended

Endrite (GM): She might be a shield grog or something.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i think there was supposed to be a part 2 but it didn't happen?

or at least i wasn't there for it

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Previously, on Ars Magica

Endrite (GM): Rest assured that I haven't forgotten that adventure.

Anyway, who wants to introduce themselves to this woman?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Hello, Lucatiel, welcome to Rome."

Prudenzio of Flambeau: "Hello. I don't believe we've met. Prudenzio. You're glowing."

Endrite (GM): "Greetings Maga, I have come to collect on the favor you owe me."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Refresh our memory on how we owe you a favor, please."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Ye actually owe her a favour?"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "I mean, how they do. Haha. Totally mundane person right here."

Aristocritus Bonisagi shrugs.

Endrite (GM): "My master, Crispus of Flambeau, has gone missing in Italy, and I recalled that you are expert investigators from our time together in Ostia."

"As you recall, I did not tell the quaesitors that you interfered on behalf of the subject of a Wizard's March."

That wast the man in the coffin who you sort of tried to protect but then gave up on when she threatened you.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: She wouldn't have found him if Aristo hadn't put a big honkin' window on the room

Aleseta of Bonisagus: crispus lmao

Aristocritus Bonisagi: it was a really cool window.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: ashy of flambeau

Lavinia of Jerbiton:

maybe i know something about another flambeau

eh

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Oh I've definitely heard of Crispus

I know that he's s a younger magus who has made a name for himself slaying monsters, evil faeries, and minor demons. He claims to be from the Transylvania tribunal, but no one has pressed him on it.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: He sounds pretty cool.

c'thinker: Sounds like he could have gotten into all kinds of trouble.

whoops, i refreshed

Endrite (GM): It's possible.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Crispus is a talented monster slayer. What brought him to Roman tribunal?"

Endrite (GM): "Lucatiel" unrolls a map of the Roman Tribunal and shoves a dagger into it.

Ildebrando is obviously distressed by this behavior.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: (fuck yeah, maps with daggers in them)

Lavinia of Jerbiton: the dark ages before someone invented the paperweight

Archibald of Guernicus: No dagger on the map...

Oh, wait, there it is

Weird dagger

Endrite (GM): "Crispus heard about a strange burial mound near the village of Cesena. When he left, he said he was going to investigate records of it in the monastery of La Grande Chiesa."

"He took five of my comrades with him. He was expecting a fight."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Why?"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "A fight in the monastery?"

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Or rather, with whom?"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: (What is Magi's obsession with attacking monks??)

Aristocritus Bonisagi: the dominion and the magic realm are forever in conflict

Endrite (GM): "Fighting monks?" She looks shocked, "No, Crispus was planning to exterminate whatever evil lay in the burial mound."

"La Grande Chiesa merely has records of the tomb that he believed would be helpful."

Archibald of Guernicus: "So this is where yer man went missing, then?"

Endrite (GM): "Yes."

"If I was not engaged in other business, I would search for him myself."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Was he expecting to find any particular sort of evil?

Endrite (GM): "In my experience, burial mounds are typically home to evil faeries or the unsettled ghosts of petty pagan kings."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: delicious paganism

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "This sounds like a pretty big 'favor' to call in for spending a couple minutes questioning you before letting you drag some man off to god knows where. If the covenant pursues this it seems its Crispus who would owe them a favor, now."

Endrite (GM): "If doing your duty isn't enough to motivate you, then I would be willing to offer some Crispus' stock of vis if you return him unharmed."

Aleseta of Bonisagus scrambles to find this man immediately.

Endrite (GM): "He might complain, but he will agree with me that it was worth it," she says with some certainty.

Archibald of Guernicus: "Vis, eh? Why didn't ye say earlier, we'd be glad to."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: personally I think getting to call in the services of a professional monster hunter at some point might be worth more than vis

Endrite (GM): Too bad you aren't knights or you could insist on just getting a favor.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: professional chthonic magus hunter

Lavinia of Jerbiton: oooh

Archibald of Guernicus: We definetely should do it.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: do we accept the vis or do we doit and expect a general favor at some other point? i vote the latter

Archibald of Guernicus: The horrifying notion that as Bonfilia misses adventures, she gets more seasons of increasing her xp and doing lab work.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: Helping such a famous and glorious Flambeau? Of course.

Aristocritus Bonisagi votes for favors (trianomishly)

Endrite (GM): Well, he isn't THAT famous.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: He's famous to me.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: he's still famous to me, dammit!!

Archibald of Guernicus: I think his grog can't promise this for him, and when we find him we should say he owes us.

Endrite (GM): "Lucatiel" is waiting for an answer. She looks a littler impatient.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "No need to deny your master his vis, the covenant will just make sure he knows who to be grateful to for his rescue."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: We can't leave a fellow magus in danger.

That's the important thing right now.

Archibald of Guernicus: "Aye, right. We've got a civic duty to the man."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "What do you know about what he was looking for, Lucatiel?"

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "I don't think we  actually  have a code obligation, but it's good practice..."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Also, do you have an arcane connection to your master? Under the circumstances I'm sure he wouldn't mind.."

Endrite (GM): "I apologize but I insist on paying my debts."

"I insist that you accept my offer of vis."

Lavinia of Jerbiton:

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "The letter of the Code may not mandate it, but the spirit of the Code does."

Endrite (GM): "No, Crispus traveled light and never left things behind."

"I know you magi set great store by such things, but I cannot offer you any assistance in that area, Lavinia."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: i insist you take this vis. carefully turns around box labeled "infernal vis" so the label is not visible to the magi

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Do we have any opportunities to subtley grab A/Cs to her

Endrite (GM): Maybe, she's drinking some wine right now.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "None of the magi of this covenant would hesitate to the agreement we propose, your master would do the same. It's how Magi do things around here... Offering vis cheapens the matter into a simple business transactions."

Endrite (GM): On the other hand she isn't just some mundane, she knows about Arcane Connections.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: if someone has a magical idea to grab an A/C they should go for it so we can track what she's up to later but it's not too important

Endrite (GM): "That is precisely what this is. I don't know you well enough to consider you my allies and I am not so foolish as to think that you would risk life and limb for your 'duty.'"

How do you put pins on the map?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: just copy and paste them, theyre on the token layer

Archibald of Guernicus: "What if yer master says he'd rather offer a favour than vis?"

Endrite (GM): "If he was here he wouldn't need to offer anything, now would he?"

"Of course, if he rewards you on his own, I can't stop him."

Archibald of Guernicus: "I mean when we find him."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: lets save him then tell him what a bitch his grog is

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh, we should probably determine an archon

Archibald of Guernicus: Weird that every time Mars is almost visible it disappears

Must be Criamon's doing

Lavinia of Jerbiton: lol

Endrite (GM): Criamon Blow Up Mars in the hit sequel to Human Quest.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: looks like we have no choice but to take the vis

Prudenzio of Flambeau: if this were ten years ago i would be enthusiastic and insistent on playing criamon

Aristocritus Bonisagi: speaking of taking vis, are we bringing any with us

Endrite (GM): You could also refuse the request.

Archibald of Guernicus: Criamon accidentally remove all gravity from earth, try and make your way to their base before you float away

Lavinia of Jerbiton: i feel like that would abort the entire session if we did, endrite

Endrite (GM): Well, I don't want to railroad you.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Refusing the request would be EXTREMELY un-Trianomish

Lavinia of Jerbiton: hell we could reject her outright but then go off on our own

Endrite (GM): So true.

She already marked the location on her map!

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i mean we could sail to ponza instead

Lavinia of Jerbiton: what a moron

Endrite (GM): What a foolish mistake!

Prudenzio of Flambeau: I wanted his autograph, or some kind of souvenir

Lavinia of Jerbiton: giving us all the valuable intel for free

Prudenzio of Flambeau: very important stuff.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: field trip to africa

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Okay let's tell her we need time to consider it and then head off while she's not looking so we don't have to accept her damn Vis

Archibald of Guernicus: Yes. We got out of... getting free vis?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: well done

Lavinia of Jerbiton: there's no such thing as a free lunch, or free vis

Endrite (GM): The Art of the Deal

Archibald of Guernicus: Mission complete and how. That right there is why you're the best, Archon.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: what hte

Lavinia of Jerbiton: anyway this is irrelevant as I am returning to my lab and Masini is stepping up

Endrite (GM): Ars Multa

Masini: lets get some Area Lore from Ildebrando

Endrite (GM): It's pretty far away from Rome.

HOWEVER!

Aristocritus Bonisagi: we're going by boat right

maybe my ship captain agent knows something about the area

Endrite (GM): He CAN tell you that the Pope just declared the two despots of Remini and Forli vicars in order to secure their allegiance.

That's just common knowledge.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i'm sure it won't come up

Aleseta of Bonisagus: hmm. is this area we're going to relatively remote?

Endrite (GM): Somewhat.

Masini: we're heading to the Monastery or the Burial Mound?

Endrite (GM): It's near the port of Forli.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: salve.

we should check out the monastery first, i think

Aleseta of Bonisagus: i''ll take aleseta, i suppose.

Endrite (GM): Good idea.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: brb

Prudenzio of Flambeau: i

Endrite (GM): "Lucatiel" doesn't know where the burial mound is in any case.

Prinny D.: whats up

Endrite (GM): Oh hi.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: 'll take Prudenzio, because I'm a fool who doesn't want better xp.

Masini: ill take the flambeau i like to make a fiery takedown

Prinny D.: hey

is it mars time

Aristocritus Bonisagi: it's Sun time

Bonfilia of Verditius: Seems like it's Mars time.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: im specifically a perdo guy not an igni guy. i dont know anything about fire!! thats a stereotype frank;ly

Aristocritus Bonisagi: responsible decisions and diplomatic solutions ahoy.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: ignem. see. don't even know what it's called.

Masini: lol igni

wrong franchise!!!

Prudenzio of Flambeau: gosh.

Bonfilia of Verditius: I walk into the room in a mild daze, not sure what's going on but don't really care to find out. I'll figure it out on the way.

Archibald of Guernicus: Greetings Bonfilia, are you here to help your fellow man

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Let us go on this adventure, fellow wizards."

Masini: ive updated masini's stats to companion and included some Divine boosts

Aristocritus Bonisagi: traveling there is going to take weeks, probably, so you'll have plenty of time to catch up

Endrite (GM): So are you going to agree to "Lucatiel"'s proposal?

Bonfilia of Verditius: does Masini have detect evil?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: I agree.

Aristocritus Bonisagi bangs archon gavel

Endrite (GM): Alright, nice.

Masini: I detect holiness and unholiness

Endrite (GM): She has successfully tricked you into taking vis in exchange for labor. Everyone mark off two Honor points for performing work.

Knights only, of course.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: hahaha

Bonfilia of Verditius: Bonfilia starts sweating.

Masini: damn.... I mean, heh, that doesn't' apply to me...

Endrite (GM): Alright, how do you prepare for this expedition?

Masini: is it faster by boat or land

Endrite (GM): Usually it'd be faster by boat but there are rumors of piracy on the seas.

So captains are more reluctant to make the trip alone.

Banditry, on the other hand, is at normal levels.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: Aleseta doesn't prepare at all.

Endrite (GM): Alright, sounds good.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: same

Masini wishes we had horses

Bonfilia of Verditius: I bring my one-armed servant, Udolfo.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: bringing raffanio along.

Endrite (GM): If only you had someone entering and winning tournaments.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: im going to bring Nevio.

Endrite (GM): By foot I think it would actually take much longer than waiting for a merchant fleet.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: and find some armor.

Endrite (GM): Even with all the delays.

Wait.

Hmm.

Archibald of Guernicus: I can defend myself and don't need a grog.

Masini: Magi can't ride horses so the best we can do is put them on a wagon

Endrite (GM): Actually probably about the same amount of time.

A month or two.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: aleseta can (badly) ride a horse.

Endrite (GM): Either way.

Archibald of Guernicus: I should probably purchase armour at some point

Masini: A woman riding a horse??? Ridiculous...

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i'm pro-boat, personally

Bonfilia of Verditius: I despise boating.

Let's steal some horses.

Archibald of Guernicus: I cannot ride a horse without it throwing me off and kicking me in the head, so hopefully we can find a cart of some kind.

Endrite (GM): Magi have trouble riding horses.

Most of them do, anyway.

Bonfilia of Verditius: let's hire a cart

Endrite (GM): Hiring a cart is easy.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: let's bring some vis

Masini: im bringing arms, armor, torch, length of rope, 10' pole,

Endrite (GM): Alright so, we've got the magi, Masini, Nevio, Raffanio, and Udolfo?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: sounds right

Endrite (GM): Alright, drag 'em onto the map.

Bonfilia of Verditius: Udolfo does not have a token

Endrite (GM): Alright.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: nevio's not here yet.

http://i.imgur.com/ieUWBAY.png

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i put a covenfolk token on the map

for udolfo i guess

Endrite (GM): You can upload your own tokens on the tab next to this one.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: is that a gm function?

Endrite (GM): No, anyone can do it.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: you do have to be in gm mode i think

Masini: a GM has to make the character to begin with though and assign permissions to the player

Endrite (GM): Done.

So you're heading right for the monastery?

Archibald of Guernicus: Right there, yep.

Endrite (GM): Alright.

Your journey isn't very difficult, because it isn't a pilgrimage.

You avoid the spring rains and you aren't waylaid on the roads.

La Grande Chiesa is easy to find.

There's a small village around it and it's located on the edge of a swamp.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: your monastery look like a grain silo

Endrite (GM): "Lucatiel" left out a very important detail, however.

This is not a monastery, but an abbey!

Aleseta of Bonisagus: good shit

Masini: gasp

Bonfilia of Verditius: Bonfilia does not know the difference.

Endrite (GM): The gate is open and unguarded.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Hmm. This is interesting."

Aleseta of Bonisagus walks inside to look around.

Endrite (GM): The sounds of Benedictine life emanate from within.

A monk asks you your business here.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: what IS the difference

Monk: "What is your business here, stranger?"

Abbeys are larger versions of monasteries that double at the center of religious life for the surrounding area.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "I did not mean to disturb anyone, but I saw the door open. I did not realize there was an abbey of this size in these parts."

Aleseta of Bonisagus makes a Benedictine sign at the monk to indicate friendship.

Monk: The monk sighs impatiently and says, "Yes, La Grande Chiese is quite an old abbey. If you were from here you'd know that."

Bonfilia of Verditius: I snicker from the back. "The great cheese."

Monk: He nods curtly at you, Aleseta.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Your logic is impeccable."

Nevio: "You're all feeling well, I hope?"

Monk: As you know, Bonfilia, "chiese" means church.

Masini: chiese my ass.. this is just an abbey with rude monks

Monk: "Oh yes, everyone is quite healthy, despite the occasional swamp miasma, of course."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Oh, there is another matter. I was looking for a scholar of sorts, possibly of a Hungarian background, who was supposed to come this way. Crisp of Flambeau?"

Masini: afk 2 min

Bonfilia of Verditius: who ordered the crisp flambeau

Aleseta of Bonisagus: lol

Aristocritus Bonisagi: did we just leave lucatiel in rome

Monk: "You would need to talk to the abbot about that."

Archibald of Guernicus: We left her because we said we'd consider it then as soon as she left we legged it here

Aleseta of Bonisagus: also she said she had other business to attend to

"May we talk to the abbot?"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: oh, i missed that

Archibald of Guernicus: That too, but it was mostly us running here sneakily

Monk: "Certainly, he is in the garden speaking to Father Uallachán. Allow me to take yo to them."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: father woebuska uegheha

Monk: The abbot is a cheerful looking man of advanced years, with white hair and blue eyes. He's talking to a shorter, more Irish priest who has a serious demeanor.

Endrite (GM): Awareness please.

Endrite (GM): The monk politely introduces you to Father Patrizio and Father Uallachán before taking his leave, perhaps too quickly.

Father Patrizio: "Ah hello, what brings you to the abbey?"

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "God protect you, fathers. We are associates of a scholar named Crispus of Flambeau. His servant sent us to fetch him on a matter of some importance. She said he would have come this way."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: now draw a faravahar

Father Patrizio: "A travelling scholar, I don't recall..."

Father Uallachán: "That one? Yes, I remember him." Father Uallachán interrupts.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: ty

hinduism is NOT a canon part of the divine realm

Father Uallachán: "He asked to use our library. It seems he was searching for information about some old pagan goddess that used to be worshiped in the area."

"Ops, I believe her name was. A fertility goddess of some sort, I believe."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: does that ring a bell with any faerie lore???

Father Uallachán: "Blood rituals, throwing people into bogs, and the like. Frightful if you ask me."

.!ops

Father Uallachán: Ring that faerie lore bell.

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Blood rituals huh? That's disgraceful."

Father Uallachán: You've never heard of Ops.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Hmm. Did he find what he was looking for? And do you know where he was headed when he left?"

Father Uallachán: "He mentioned that a mound in the swamp between Rimini and Forli was the focus of her cult and then left."

"Him and his bodyguards."

Aleseta of Bonisagus nds.

Archibald of Guernicus: "Good place to start, sodales."

Masini: "Pardon father, did I hear right that the lords of those lands are now vicars?"

Father Uallachán: "Are you talking about Ordelaffi or Malatesta? Neither of those two would know a church if the Holy Cross was shoved up their arse!"

Masini: O_O

Aleseta of Bonisagus: nice

Father Patrizio: "What Father Uallachán means, is that both of the reverend monsignors are, perhaps, political appointments."

"The Papal States are under threat, of course, with the Papacy moved to France."

Masini nods grimly

Father Patrizio: "Maybe their elevation will do them some good, but it hasn't seemed to calm their tempers."

Bonfilia of Verditius: I yawn.

Father Patrizio: "It seems like there's another brawl or raid every other week these days."

Masini: "We may need to cross their lands to get to that swamp, is there anything we should know before hand?"

Father Patrizio: "At least they are no longer set upon each other in open warfare."

Masini: do we want to look at the same books Crispy looked at

Father Patrizio: "There have been reports of attacks on farms deeper in the swamp. The vicars' men don't like to spend more time in the swamp than they have to to get to their rivals' holdings, so I doubt it's them."

Father Uallachán: "The despots? Ha!" Father Uallachán snorts, "None of their so-called knights rise up from the muck and hammer at barred doors and windows all night."

Aleseta of Bonisagus becomes a little disinterested and looks out a window to see birds.

Endrite (GM): Do you have any questions?

I should point out that at this point you don't know where the burial mound is.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Can we see the books that he read?

Masini: "Where's this burial mound?"

Father Uallachán: "I'm not sure, but whatever that Crispus fellow was looking for, he must have left in the library, because he left in a hurry."

Do you want to take a look?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: ye

Father Uallachán: Alright.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: sounds good. im sorry i've been kind of out of it.

Father Uallachán: Father Uallachán takes his leave of the Abbot and escorts you to the basement.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: lets look at these gosh darn books

Father Uallachán: He searches through the rolls for about an hour until he finds what he was looking for.

"Ah, here. It's an old legend concerning this Ops character."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: call of duty

Father Uallachán: "It details the general location of her cult's activity, before they were dispersed by Saint Denis."

Masini: Saint Denis in Italy?

Father Uallachán: He shows you the ancient page he's referring to, it gives you good enough geographic detail that you'd be able to find it if you looked for a while.

Oh sorry I meant Narnus.

Masini: tyvm

Father Uallachán: Just thinkin' about that Denis.

Anyway.

Anything else you want to do in this library?

The Abbey is obviously quite old.

Almost a thousand years, and so is the library.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: see if they have any esp. sick books

Father Uallachán: They might.

"So, you're scholars as well?"

"I'm sure the Abbot would be happy to let you search our archives."

Masini: yeah I read books

Father Uallachán: "But, you know, he has had a lot on his mind lately."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Oh?"

Father Uallachán: "The rectory is in a sad state of repair. If we only had a little more money in the building fund, I'm sure his mind would be set at ease and he'd be able to focus on more important matters."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "What's wrogn with the rectory?"

Father Uallachán: "The tiles need to be replaced, the doors have been sticking, and the rafters have been groaning rather terribly."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "That does sound rough. An abbey of this size must be difficult to maintain, even with donations."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "What a shame. Well, let's get to the books then."

Father Uallachán: "Yes, we are dedicated to spreading the word of God, so we don't have as much time to solicit donations as we might need to."

Masini: "I think we could afford a donation for all the help they've given us..."

Prudenzio of Flambeau: "Perhaps a book on carpentry?"

Father Uallachán: "Oh, could you?"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: have a ball of abysmal flame for free.

Father Uallachán: "God will surely bless your for your generosity."

"We need 10 mythic pounds to complete repairs."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Hmm. That's a bit steep."

"Are you saying you wouldn't allow us to peruse these books lest we pay you?"

"Surely not."

Father Uallachán: "Of course not, but unfortunately we can't just allow anyone to read our archives. They're quite old, and if precautions aren't taken they could be damaged."

"The abbot will need to determine if you can safely handle our records."

Masini: "Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor, masters."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Silence, Masini."

Father Uallachán: "But, as I said, he is unfortunately burdened with worldly matters."

He frowns at you Bonfilia.

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Show us to the abbot, and let us speak with him."

"I am certain he will find it in his good Christian heart to allow us access."

"And not attempt to steal pounds from our pockets so brazenly."

Father Uallachán: Father Uallachán looks offended, but does as you ask.

Prudenzio of Flambeau coughs

Father Patrizio: Father Patrizio is currently inspecting the olive presses with the help of a few monks.

Father Uallachán: "These travelers seek to gain access to our archives. I informed them of the problems facing our abbey and they agreed to provide what charity they can."

Then he whispers to Father Patrizio loudly enough that you can hear, "I think they might be up to something, keep an eye on that woman."

Father Patrizio: "What did you have in mind, strangers?"

Well?

What's your offer?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: be back in ~15

Father Patrizio: Ok.

Bonfilia of Verditius: "We are scholars following the path of Crisp, and would like to consult your archives to both find what he found, and perhaps to understand this Ops phenomenon."

Father Patrizio: "Oh?"

"I'm sure Father Uallachán has told you that we don't just allow anyone to use our library."

Prudenzio of Flambeau: "What if we owed you a favor?"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Aristocritus exaggerates his Greek accent. "The only thing we've learned here is the sad state of affairs in the western Church."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Indeed he has. But surely you could find it in your heart to allow such simple folk as us? Or would you deny mere travelers seeking your aid, for no reason but cruelty?"

Masini frowns

Father Patrizio: "I'm afraid that, as poor monks, we rely on the charity of others to perform the tasks God sets before us."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: what is feudalism even FOR

Father Patrizio: "I can't simply allow anyone to use our library, as we have discussed."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "So it is then, as one might assume, that you would demand payment for aiding us?"

"Is this the path of the Christian Church?"

Aristocritus Bonisagi throws his hands in the air

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "The right hand makes a fig at the vicar and the left hand stretches out to receive a bribe!"

Father Patrizio: "If you were to demonstrate your continuing interest in the well-being of our abbey, then we might be able to extend the same trust to you, rude strangers who have made outrageous demands on our hospitality."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "I always thought Christ praised hospitality."

Father Patrizio: Again the amount is 5 mythic pounds.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: "If we had access to the library, we'd be quite inclined to show continuing interest in the well being of the abbey."

Father Patrizio: "It is our duty, as servants of Christ, to ensure that the library still stands for future generations."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "I see. I understand how it is. All you have to do is put it in words I can understand: You desire a bribe, no?"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "This would never happen back in Greece!"

[looks up at heaven] i would like to speak to a manager.

Archibald of Guernicus: "Ye're gonna get us kicked out, ye know that."

Prudenzio of Flambeau: Do we have any collateral? I swear we'll bring back 5 mythic pounds at a future date.

c'thinker: wasn't it ten pounds

Father Patrizio: "If you can see your way clear to extending your charity, about ten mythic pounds to help maintain our abbey, I would be happy to allow you to use our library."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: 10 pounds to fix the whole thing

Father Patrizio: It is now.

Archibald of Guernicus: We could leave Bonfilia as collateral. They'll refuse, and thus we don't leave any.

Bonfilia of Verditius: I flash a wicked grin.

Masini: "Pardon father, but does not Paul teach, 'Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.'?"

Father Patrizio: "An excellent point, young man."

Masini: "I mean.. so I heard." Masini looks around nonchalantly.

Father Patrizio: If you want you can have the money with you, by the way.

I know you didn't mention that you were taking money with you but we can assume that you would.

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Masini, you better stop butting in or I'll show you why the chirurgeon at home is ever overworked."

"We'll pay your bribe and receive your favor, Father. I hope you don't mind such a transaction taking place within this holy house?"

Father Patrizio: "Giving charity does you no good if it comes at the end of a vise and is accompanied by an acid tongue, my daughter."

Masini: "Please do not let Bonfilia speak for the rest. Not all I travel with are as wicked as she."

Father Patrizio: "Perhaps you should keep better company."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "If it were charity we would gain nothing from it, and as such it would be unnecessary. Please, do not twist your tongue before the grace of God in his very own house."

Masini: "As our lord states, Father, 'Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.'"

Archibald of Guernicus: The Amazing Paganist

Aleseta of Bonisagus: lol

c'thinker: ah heck

brb

Father Patrizio: "I am reminded that the best cure for a rotten limb is amputation."

Masini: lol

Father Patrizio: "I will have Giacomo prepare you a place to stay for as long as you need," he nods to a younger monk.

Archibald of Guernicus: "Very kind of ye."

Bonfilia of Verditius: "God knows your intentions, Father, no matter the words you use to convey them." I reach into my breadbasket and slam down a bag of mythic pounds on his table.

Monk: After you hand over the cash, Giacomo escorts you to your living quarters, the Old Barn.

"We had to move the cattle to the new barn after the roof collapsed."

"About six years ago."

Endrite (GM): Anyway, what is it you want to study in the library?

Bonfilia of Verditius: Nothing really.

I just wanted to harass the holy men.

Endrite (GM): Good use of 10 mythic pounds.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: aleseta wanted to see what cool books they had.

what do they have???

Bonfilia of Verditius: Sin isn't going to spread itself.

Endrite (GM): Their entire library is mostly church records of the area.

It's very complete.

Masini: maybe they have records of old pagan sites

Endrite (GM): Definitely.

Masini: perhaps these books hold the key to finding the Fallen Temple of Mercury????

Endrite (GM): Anything is possible.

The way this works is you can use the library for a bonus to a roll to find out more information about Ops, the burial mound, or anything else related to the area.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: i want to know more about OPS

Endrite (GM): Alright.

What skill do you want to use?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: uhhh? faerie?

faerie lore i mean

Endrite (GM): Alright.

It takes a day to use the library, so other people might want to pursue their own lines of investigation at the same time.

Masini: Masini keeps watch to see if anyone is up to evil

Endrite (GM): Alright.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: I'll ask people around the building about the burial mound.

Endrite (GM): You don't see anyone you don't know do anything Sense Unholiness worthy.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: etiquette? i don't know. I don't want to offend anyone after our introductions.

Endrite (GM): Prudenzio, the monks here don't know much about any burial mound. Their highly regimented monastic life and many duties protect them from exposure to the outside world.

It's a little late for etiquette, Prudenzio.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: Ah.

Archibald of Guernicus: Miner's Keen Eye lets you see through dirt as well as rock, doesnt it

Masini: yes

Endrite (GM): Yep.

Archibald of Guernicus: My plan was to wait until we're near the area and use that to look for it

Endrite (GM): Well, it's a mound.

So you don't need any special magical vision to detect a big bump.

The trick is finding your way through the swamp.

I guess being able to see through trees and swampy miasma would help.

Ok, so only Aleseta is going to use the library?

Masini: I can't read, allegedly

Endrite (GM): Alrighty.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: I will. look up. the mound.

Endrite (GM): What skill?

Masini: moundthinker. o O ( mound )

Prudenzio of Flambeau: is it a magic mound? would magic lore work?

Endrite (GM): No.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: masini in the library: https://abload.de/img/if_only_fechtbuchppawr.jpg

Endrite (GM): Alright.

Masini: lets get a lore dump

Endrite (GM): During the spring and autumn

and offered young men and women as

festivals, the nearby clans assembled

grooms and brides to the Dark One, in

exchange for good weather and healthy

crops.

Endrite (GM): Whoops I meant to whisper that!

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "It appears that Ops was worshiped for thousands of years before the birth of Christ."

etc

Endrite (GM): pagans several centuries later, and entombed

their god in the mound.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: lmao

Endrite (GM): What the HECK!?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: roll 20 is garbage!!! for the fuckin DUMP!!!

Prudenzio of Flambeau: ahhhh

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Saint Narnus converted the pagans and entombed Ops in the mound!"

Archibald of Guernicus: "Ah, she's probably right pissed off about that."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "I would guess it's either a very dark faerie or an infernal creature. Given the sacrifices described, I mean..."

Masini: maybe it's a Diedne

Endrite (GM): It's possible, if they mastered the art of time travel.

c'thinker: who's to say they didn't

Masini: Merlin did it so

Archibald of Guernicus: We're off to kill a fae

Aristocritus Bonisagi: did prudenzio learn anything about the mound

Endrite (GM): It's free vis.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: nope.

Endrite (GM): No, the monks are generally ignorant of the world around them.

Alright, you wake up to find Udolfo missing.

Bonfilia of Verditius: I sigh loudly.

"I guess I'll have to kill him once we get home."

Prudenzio of Flambeau: "It's only going to get better from here!"

Masini: im ready to go through trudging a swamp

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "Where is Udolfo?"

Endrite (GM): Alright, you're armed with all kinds of knowledge and you have a whole day ahead of you.

What's the plan?

Sans Udolfo, of course.

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Who knows. Maybe he made a run for it."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: is there a good reason in the backlog for udolfo to be missing, or is it another mystery

Endrite (GM): .w Aleseta Oh I forgot, they reconsecrated Ops' ritual sacrifice day as Saint Narnus' feast day.

Great.

Masini: lol

Aristocritus Bonisagi: destroyed

Endrite (GM): I love roll20.

I love manion.

Archibald of Guernicus: Roll20 is innocent there

Endrite (GM): I love the Republic.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: i didn't see anything.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Oh I forgot, Frank Stringini did the art for Rodger Ramrod.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: Holy shit.

Endrite (GM): I didn't forget that.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: lol

Masini: if soundcloud were still working we could have the "Ooh!" sound in our jukebox RIGHT NOW

Aristocritus Bonisagi: holy shit.

Endrite (GM): Ok.

What's the plan?

Archibald of Guernicus: I believe we go to the mound and kill any fairies we find.

We really need to develop some good old fashioned PeVi to kill them.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: when is st. narnia's feast day

Endrite (GM): It's in November.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "All right. Let's go see if Udolfo is buried under the loose tiles in the rectory."

Endrite (GM): So right around when Crispus was here.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: prudenzio should stop going on adventures and start writing a perdo book or two

Masini: actually it's better to kill a Faerie the old fashioned way, PeVi can destroy their precious vis meats

Aleseta of Bonisagus: tru

Endrite (GM): Alright, so you set out for the burial mound, I assume?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: yes

Endrite (GM): Ok, it's pretty easy to find your way to the bog.

Swamp.

Swamp bog.

Masini: ronnie's homeland

Endrite (GM): On the way, you espy some mounted knights heading in the same direction.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: i love the ESPYs

Aleseta of Bonisagus: what would mounted knigts be doing in these parts

Endrite (GM): You come across another group of knights.

They bear this coat of arms.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: swamp knights

i hate tehse guys

Endrite (GM): Clearly different than the last ones.

They're struggling to lead their horses through the swamp.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: That is an awful coat of arms.

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Hey, knights! Your heraldry looks like a dishrag!"

Endrite (GM): Do you want to talk to them or anything?

Ok I guess you do.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: cool heraldry, knights of baltimore

Aristocritus Bonisagi: in GREECE we had better heraldry

Endrite (GM): "Churlish woman, do you seek to gather muck to make a husband?" Their leader shouts.

Bonfilia of Verditius: "I am already wed, you bog-smelling oafs."

Archibald of Guernicus: What sort of accent do these knights have, a standard italian one?

Endrite (GM): "If we find your husband, we'll be sure to give him some oats!"

They have the accent common to people of this area.

So are you going to trade insults or what?

Bonfilia of Verditius: I shout some neapolitan insults their way.

And shake my fist in the italian fashion.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: i'm still in shock about the damage to my clothing and how much ive had to exert myself physically.

Endrite (GM): They give you the fig and continue their slow progress.

Alright, anyone else want to talk to these guys?

Masini: "Why are you riding horses in a swamp?"

Bonfilia of Verditius: didn't these guys see the neverending story?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: mm

Endrite (GM): "That one eyed bastard has been sending monsters to attack poor, innocent villeins who work in the swamp."

"We're here to slay them."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: is this like charcoal burner territory or what

Endrite (GM): "If we can find them, that is."

I suppose there's no piece of land so unpleasant that people won't try to wring a living out of it.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: im really enjoying how elaborate the "durr" knight is becoming

Archibald of Guernicus: "What one eyed bastard?"

Aristocritus Bonisagi points.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "We saw some other knights back there."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Aye, we all saw them Aristocritus."

Endrite (GM): "The 'Vicar' of Rimini, of course."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i'm sayin' it to these knights!!

Endrite (GM): "Malatesta's men? They're probably planning to attack us while we're bogged down in the swamp!"

"Quickly men, back to Forli!"

Prudenzio of Flambeau: "You'd better attack them first."

Endrite (GM): "In the swamp?"

Archibald of Guernicus: "Aye, go get them, show that ye're good knights despite yer dishrag."

Endrite (GM): "You'd have to be mad to fight in a swamp."

"We're getting out of here!

Prudenzio of Flambeau: But Malatesta's men will also be bogged down in the swamp. It's the perfect time.

Endrite (GM): "Not if they've set an ambush. Those cowards are always trying that kind of scheme."

Masini: Hey didn't we hear that Malatesta's men were planning to stage an attack from a mound of some sort..

Endrite (GM): What a tricky idea.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: lol

Archibald of Guernicus: Sounds like we should go watch this fight, it'll be fun.

Endrite (GM): Alright you want to fib to them to get them to come to the mound with you?

There's 6 of them.

Masini: crispus had 5 guys and still got taken out so why not

Masini: "The monks of La Grande Chiese mentioned a mound out here, dating back many years, where many were buried. Saint (not Denis) cleansed the area.. Any of this sound familiar?"

Endrite (GM): Saint Narnus.

"Never heard of it."

Aleseta of Bonisagus: hm

Prudenzio of Flambeau: A bunch of blasphemers, all of them.

Endrite (GM): Amazing stuff here.

Do you REALLY want to antagonize a group of armed horsemen?

Masini: "If you're looking for a fight Bonfilia you should fight it on your own."

Bonfilia of Verditius: I pick out a bread from my basket and toss it at the knight.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: I'm not exactly equipped for this.

Endrite (GM): What kind of a bread?

Bonfilia of Verditius: Pane Napoletana

MuCo 45

Req: Herbam

R: Touch, D: Sun, T: Part

The target of this spell has its skin transformed into wood, roots launched into the ground from its feet, and horns grown on its head. The target is immobilized but completely sentient, and if cut the target bleeds.

(Base 25, +1 Touch, +2 Sun, +1 Part)

Aleseta of Bonisagus: how many breads have you thrown in your (hermetic) life

Endrite (GM): Amazing.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: This is going to get us in so much trouble.

Endrite (GM): Alright, the leader of the knights turns into a tree where he stands.

Yeah no shit!

Masini: If only we had a Guernicus to police the code, or an Archon to lead us

Aleseta of Bonisagus: lmao

Prudenzio of Flambeau: Hey, I can't control the people I travel with.

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Let the rest of you simple mortals know, that one does not anger the wicked witch of Rome."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Bonfilia, what the hell are ye doing?"

Prudenzio of Flambeau: I'm just here to have a good time. And it's a bad time right now!

Aristocritus Bonisagi sighs swampily

Endrite (GM): Amid cries of "Witch!" and "Sorcery!" the knights draw their swords and attack.

Masini: Nice

Endrite (GM): The remaining knights, I mean.

Bonfilia of Verditius: I cackle aloud with gusto.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: Great. Just great.

Archibald of Guernicus: Good luck Bonfilia

Aleseta of Bonisagus: cool

Archibald of Guernicus: We're right behind you. 50 paces behind you.

Endrite (GM): Alright who is doing what here?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: sixty paces behind you. seventy paces behind you. eighty pa

Masini: I'll shield Aristocritus

Prudenzio of Flambeau: im going to turn invisible and hide in the shadows.

Archibald of Guernicus: I'm backing off, drawing my sword in case they come at me, and casting Wizards Sidestep when my turn comes around

Bonfilia of Verditius: Once I get a chance I'm destroying their horses by building a wall of thorns under them.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Do the knights have any other weapons, or just swords

Aleseta of Bonisagus: backing up with raffanio and casting wiz ss

Endrite (GM): They have lances, but they aren't carrying those.

Endrite (GM): No.

I'm just getting a sense of who is planning to do what here.

Bonfilia used the surprise round to throw bread and I think it surprised everyone.

Archibald of Guernicus: Archibald of Guernicus Initiative: 75

Aristocritus Bonisagi: and all 5 of these knights are not trees?

Masini: The tree should roll initiative

Endrite (GM): Yes I think so, unless the Pane Napoleano turns more than one person into a tree.

Bonfilia of Verditius: just one

Endrite (GM): Alright then.

Nevio: "Everyone, feel secure in your health. It was a good choice to bring me, Nevio, definitely a physician of legitimacy."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: how's the aura

Endrite (GM): Infernal 1.

Bonfilia of Verditius: I am blessed by this omen of good fortune.

Endrite (GM): Alright, knight 3 runs at you.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: yikez

Endrite (GM): He's hampered by the rough terrain, but narratively manages to get close to you.

He'll be able to hit you next turn.

Nevio.

Nevio: Nevio's going to try to retreat and take cover behind something, as he is unarmed and has no combat skills.

Endrite (GM): Excellent.

Masini: smart guy

Endrite (GM): Archibald.

Archibald of Guernicus: I cast wizards sidestep.

Endrite (GM): Ok, roll it.

Endrite (GM): Good point.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: I am melting down.

Endrite (GM): How many botch die is this?

Aleseta of Bonisagus: i am not calm. in fact, some might say i am

thank you

Masini: I am calm as a still swamp, and you are rmelting down like one struck by the Pilum of Fire

Archibald of Guernicus: What determines botch die here

Aristocritus Bonisagi: you are melting down like one struck by some kind of horrible muto corpus effect

Bonfilia of Verditius: infernal gives extra botch die

Masini: stress is 1 + non-magical aura strength

Prudenzio of Flambeau: infernal is badass.

Masini: doubled if you're in a regio

Endrite (GM): And some flaws can make botching more likely.

Bonfilia of Verditius: hail satan

Aristocritus Bonisagi: plus two if you are aristocritus i think

Archibald of Guernicus: Is the botch roll also stress die

Archibald of Guernicus: I don't know how bad luck irl seems to translate to roll20 at the worst times

Aristocritus Bonisagi: why's that

Endrite (GM): Alright, that's two warping points for you.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: because of the infernal aura?

Prudenzio of Flambeau: archibald wizards sidesteps out of existence.

Masini: 2 warping points at the same time = check for twilight

Aristocritus Bonisagi: oh

Archibald of Guernicus: SO

What is the twilight roll

As I have never twilighted before

Endrite (GM): For rolling TWO botches, you get to do this:

Stamina + Concentration + Vim Form Bonus

+ stress die vs. Warping Score

+ Number of Warping Points gained

+ Enigmatic Wisdom + local aura

+ stress die (no botch)

Bonfilia of Verditius: what type of infernal aura is this

it gives different effects when you botch

Endrite (GM): The kind where you take -1 on your Wizard's Twilight roll.

Archibald of Guernicus: That is a lot of modifiers

Alright, so it's

Masini: do you want to adjust any of them for abilities as arts, Endrite

Endrite (GM): Anyway.

Masini: twilight is not bad tbh

you can't be hurt in twilight and you get a bitching magical scar

Aristocritus Bonisagi: you would come back in a round or whatever

Endrite (GM): The cruel forces of Hell twist your Wizard's Sidestep spell, granting it instead to knight number 4.

Masini: loll

Endrite (GM): His fellows don't yet notice this.

Alright, Bonfilia.

Archibald of Guernicus: I know it's not that bad but the 1/1000 superbotch is nuts.

Bonfilia of Verditius: how many knights can I hit with a 20 paces long, 4 paces wide wall

Endrite (GM): Wow if only there was someone who was responsible for getting you into this situation.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: that person is Satan due ot the power of the infernal

Endrite (GM): You can HIT two, but you can effectively block them all.

If you put it right under yourself.

Bonfilia of Verditius: can I hit the guy close to me and another one?

Endrite (GM): Here I'll give you a thing.

Wall of Thorns

CrHe 20

R: Voice, D: Sun, T: Group

Within seconds, this spell creates a straight wall of woody, thorny bushes up to 20 paces long, 1 pace thick, and 4 paces high. The thorns, which are unnaturally resilient, have a +15 Soak, are cut by edged weapons only, and cutting through requires inflicting a Heavy Wound. Bodily forcing one’s way through the wall requires a Strength stress roll of 9+ and does +15 damage whether the attempt succeeds or fails. If the roll botches, an additional 5 points of damage are suffered. The wall grows out of existing bushes or fertile soil. An Athletics stress roll against an Ease Factor of 9 allows a character to scale the wall, but the character takes +10 damage in the process.

Bonfilia of Verditius: (Base 1, +2 Voice, +2 Sun, +2 Group, +1 size)

Endrite (GM): Which spell this is?

Ah there.

Bonfilia of Verditius: oh sorry it was 1 pace thick

Endrite (GM): Now, we talked about being able to resist spells, but I can't remember if we pulled the trigger on that.

Masini: its mag 4 so itd be tough anyway

Endrite (GM): Alright.

They're stuck in the wall!

Masini.

Bonfilia of Verditius: they should fall of their horses too

Masini: im happy to roll with that starting after this combat. as someone who never casts offensive spells of course

Endrite (GM): They aren't riding their horses.

Bonfilia of Verditius: oh

Masini: I shield Aristo with my body

Aristocritus Bonisagi: that one seems like it would be hard to resist in the same way you would resist a wizards sidestep

Endrite (GM): Since the horses can't really walk in the swamp.

Masini: and will intercept anyone who comes close but thats all.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: ty.

Endrite (GM): Ok.

Masini: you'd resist it as a Dex or Qik to block it i think

Endrite (GM): Knight 4 runs at you.

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Come, knave! To your doom!"

Masini: dodge

Endrite (GM): He can hit you next turn.

Masini: doge

Raffanio defends Aleseta.

Endrite (GM): Aristocritus.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: that would be nice

Bonfilia of Verditius: I'll trap the two free knights near me in a trap of entwining vines

Masini: it can also put a little faded aura on your token if you have your token on the field

Bonfilia of Verditius: Trap of the Entwining Vines

CrHe 15

R: Voice, D: Sun, T: Group

Causes strong, woody vines to grow rapidly from fertile earth. The vines cover a circle 2 paces across and reach 6 feet high. Anything caught within them is immobilized. To avoid the vines, the target must make a Quickness – Encumbrance stress roll of 9+. To break out requires a Strength stress roll of 12+ (allowed once a round). Someone not trapped can cut a trapped person free in two rounds, assuming proper tools. The vines weaken and wither to dust at sunrise or sunset.

(Base 1, +2 Voice, +2 Sun, +2 Group)

Endrite (GM): You can't hit knight 5 with a spell.

Since you don't know where he is!

Wizard's Sidestep!

Bonfilia of Verditius: if I use a spell on him it will remove the sidestep

Aristocritus Bonisagi: classic sidestep

Endrite (GM): You'd have to aim it just at where you think he is.

That would prevent it from trapping t'other knight.

Bonfilia of Verditius: are they two paces apart?

Endrite (GM): I realize this isn't very clear but I hadn't anticipated a fight.

They are.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYwljDNBgeY

swamp ost

Bonfilia of Verditius: then I'll just wall them both instead

Prudenzio of Flambeau: yeah i did not expect to suddenly be in combat

Bonfilia of Verditius: since my assumed position for the sidestep knight is well within range of hitting them both with a wall

Endrite (GM): Again, you can't predict where the Wizard's Sidestepped knight is so you can't hit him with the Wall of Thorns, which is only 1 pace wide.

Bonfilia of Verditius: that doesnt make sense

you just said that if I aim at his presumed location I can remove the sidestep

Endrite (GM): Only with the Entangling Vines.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: is the jukebox back

Bonfilia of Verditius: and every possible presumed location also allows for me to angle the wall into them both

Endrite (GM): Since that has a radius of two paces.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: i guess si

Bonfilia of Verditius: that's not how sidestep works

Prudenzio of Flambeau: so

Endrite (GM): It makes you appear 1 pace away from your actual location.

Bonfilia of Verditius: yes

so I target the apparition

Bonfilia of Verditius: and also the other knight

Endrite (GM): So to be sure that you hit someone, you would need a hit radius of at least 2 to be certain of hitting.

Bonfilia of Verditius: I don't care about hitting him, only removing the sidestep

which gets removed when you hit the apparition with something

Endrite (GM): Your image appears up to 1 pace from

where you actually are, so attacks aimed there

are likely to miss you. Whenever the image is

successfully struck, it disappears and reappears

in another spot.

Masini: it's equivalent to being invisible

because your image keeps shifting

Aristocritus Bonisagi: what are they going to do, throw a lance at me

Bonfilia of Verditius: I'll just wall myself in then

Endrite (GM): Ok.

Bonfilia of Verditius: and hit the none-sidestep knight

Endrite (GM): Alright.

There we go.

Isn't this a terrible idea?

and is five paces wide. It is sturdy enough to

support creatures of up to Size +

Aristocritus Bonisagi: a diameter is two minutes right

Prudenzio of Flambeau: yeah

Masini: 2 minutes = 20 combat rounds

Prudenzio of Flambeau: whoa.

He doesn't avoid it.

Masini.

Masini: still guarding Aleseta

Bonfilia of Verditius: The battle is over, isn't it?

Endrite (GM): Well, it is.

Do you just want to leave them here?

Bonfilia of Verditius: No.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: how long does the wall last

and the tree

Endrite (GM): Sun duration.

Bonfilia of Verditius: Sun

Prudenzio of Flambeau: nice spell.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: ok, so the undead will eat them when the sun goes down. all of our loose ends are tied up

Bonfilia of Verditius: or until I cancel them, since I have Harnessed Magic

Endrite (GM): Sure, sure.

Bonfilia of Verditius: We steal their horses.

Masini: I depart this company and head home.

Nevio: Nobody really got hurt. That's, uh, wonderful.

Raffanio: I am now Raffanio. Hello folks.

Endrite (GM): Why would you steal their horses when you can't ride?

Archibald of Guernicus: I took 2 points of warping and want Bonfilia to reimburse me for them

Bonfilia of Verditius: A horse is worth a lot.

I give Archibald a horse.

Aristocritus Bonisagi descends from the heavens, having seen the truth

Archibald of Guernicus: The horse will kick me and run away

Prudenzio of Flambeau: prudenzio is just going to follow archibald if he's leaving, he doesn't want to see the consequences.

Endrite (GM): As it is, the knights were having trouble leading their horses through the swamp.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "The mound is that way. About two hours' walk, in this terrain."

Bonfilia of Verditius: We'll learn to ride later, but with these horses we can shorten our travel time in the future.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: i think archibald can see me anyway.

Endrite (GM): It will take about 3 times as long to get to the mound if you bring your horses.

Bonfilia of Verditius: Are we in a hurry?

Endrite (GM): No but you have to check for fatigue for every hour you spend travelling.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: i don't care about horses. I wouldn't be caught dead on one of those animals. below the class I pretend to be.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: "I will take the horses out of the swamp."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: look at that knight

Endrite (GM): Uh, there is nothing more high class than riding a horse.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: he's riding a horse and he's a fucking idiot

Endrite (GM): Horse riding is the symbol of aristocracy!

Prudenzio of Flambeau: not in these conditions.

Bonfilia of Verditius: I laugh and mock the foolish knights, making sure they know better than to mess with witches.

Endrite (GM): Anyway, so you're just going to steal the horses Aleseta?

Archibald of Guernicus: I can see invisible things, yes.

Aleseta of Bonisagus: she's not going to leave them to the mercy of the swamp.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: i'm interested in owning and betting on horses but not riding them

Archibald of Guernicus: Its a roll to do so, but I have second sight

Aristocritus Bonisagi: so we're down a magus and a grog

Prudenzio of Flambeau: or stealing them right now.

Endrite (GM): Alright.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: well. two grogs

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Stealing these horses is the only humane option."

Archibald of Guernicus: Steal them if you want, but I can't help with them at all

Bonfilia of Verditius: Bonfilia marvels at how good everything turns out when Proclus isn't here to prevent her schemes.

Endrite (GM): So you're just going to leave the knights here, right?

Prudenzio of Flambeau: how can we leave a trail for bonfilia to take these horses after us?

I'm sure she'll be fine.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: yeah were you going to do something with the knights

Endrite (GM): If not I'll remove them from the field and we can continue on.

Bonfilia of Verditius: I could, but that would be senselessly cruel. The horses are prize enough.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: I'm hoping none of the knights really got a chance to see me and i'm throwing away these clothes as soon as I can.

i just want this to be done with.

Bonfilia of Verditius: Let us leave these knights to be eaten by the undead.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: he's soaked!

Aristocritus Bonisagi: taking the horses seems like a huge waste of time

Prudenzio of Flambeau squishes his expensive, completely ruined boots around in the muck

Aleseta of Bonisagus: we're not taking the horses. aleseta is leading them out of the swamp while everyone else continues.

Endrite (GM): Ok.

Raffanio: is aleseta coming back afterwards or is she leaving the party

Aleseta of Bonisagus: she didn't say.

Bonfilia of Verditius: Keeping the horses is a good idea.

We should all learn riding.

Raffanio picks his nose groggishly

Prudenzio of Flambeau drapes an arm over Nevio's shoulder

Archibald of Guernicus: The blatant gift makes riding mundane horses impossible

Prudenzio of Flambeau: next time, buddy.

Aristocritus Bonisagi lands

Bonfilia of Verditius: you could just make a level 3 spell to calm the horse

Nevio gives out a yell and trips over his leg

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i could pull myself from branch to branch while levitating, but an hour of that is probably not less exhausting than an hour of walking

Raffanio: "Dio dannato... there's got to be a better way to make a living than this"

Endrite (GM): Sorry I tried to group the swamp knight picture and the page crashed.

Raffanio: RIP retard knight :(

Endrite (GM): Anyway.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: http://i.imgur.com/DGHVdYy.png

Endrite (GM): You travel for another hour.

Raffanio: :)

Nevio: fatigue is a mother.

Endrite (GM): Make a stamina + simple die roll against ease factor 6.

If you fail take another long-term fatigue level.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i'm at -1 then unless anything about fatigue has changed

Endrite (GM): I don't think so.

But who knows?!

Prudenzio of Flambeau: i have been rolling as -1 since the long term fatigue level

Aristocritus Bonisagi: the first level is -0

Prudenzio of Flambeau: ah.

Raffanio: we changed it to 0/-1/-2/-3/-4

Prudenzio of Flambeau: well, i just did that much better then.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: there might be some flaws that make it different?

Raffanio: or at least I said we ought to :/

Aristocritus Bonisagi: hm.

Raffanio whines and gripes about trudging through a swamp.

Endrite (GM): Alright.

Is that everyone left?

Yes.

Alright.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: I guess.

Long-term, of course.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: nice.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: nevio has been slain by the swamp

Endrite (GM): Alright.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: at this rate we won't make it out of the swamp alive

Endrite (GM): As you get closer to your destination, you hear a child's screams.

He's yelling for help!

Raffanio: "Merda.."

Bonfilia of Verditius: Aura?

Archibald of Guernicus: Sounds like a blatant trap

Endrite (GM): Infernal 1.

Nevio: nevio is so emotionally distraught by his own health crisis. he wishes he could examine the humours of his urine right now. just no time.

Endrite (GM): Pretty much the whole swamp is Infernal 1.

Bonfilia of Verditius: "Could be a trap, or child sacrifice."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Ach, I don't want to risk a child getting killed, but it really might be a trick."

Endrite (GM): magi hear cries for help. Rushing forward,

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "I'm going to take a look again."

Endrite (GM): FUCK

Joshua S.: okay, i'm headin' out. thanks for running, endrite. later, all.

Endrite (GM): Aristocritus, you see a child clinging to a tree.

Raffanio: Cheers

Prudenzio of Flambeau: my invisibility is for Sun duration. goodnight

Endrite (GM): Ok, we're going to still be here next week.

Just fyi.

ACtually this is a good time to call it.

The child sees you and says, "Help me!"

Or rather, he shouts it.

And we're done for this week.

Endrite (GM): Next week, this kid!

Prudenzio of Flambeau: i dont think i can be here next week. im working night shift and i will probably be asleep for most of the game.

thanks for running

Endrite (GM): You're welcome.

Archibald of Guernicus: Thank you gamer, fun session

Raffanio: im looking forward to epic TPK next week

Prudenzio of Flambeau: i can only really make it twice a month. i work rotating shift etc

Endrite (GM): Right.

Well, just come when you can, I suppose.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: next week aristocritus will suddenly be four times as powerful and have a bunch of new spells

Archibald of Guernicus: Time to spend my unspent seasons on lab work for a useful spell for the adventure

Bonfilia of Verditius: Bonfilia, as well will be very powerful

Endrite (GM): I don't like this kind of behavior.

Bonfilia of Verditius: and suddenly know some very cruel and satisfying spells

Endrite (GM): Please do all your unspent seasons before the session begins.

Archibald of Guernicus: I can't think of what to spend them on, is why I've left it.

Endrite (GM): Study.

Archibald of Guernicus: My lab totals feel too small to pull off anything interesting right now.

Endrite (GM): You could try studying a clue!!!!!

Archibald of Guernicus: Fuck!

Raffanio: lol

Prudenzio of Flambeau: would prudenzio get exposure xp next session/season, if he's still out here

Endrite (GM): Yes.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: i still need to do my last one.

ok.

Endrite (GM): You'll get the full amount.

I assume Prudenzio just got sick of the swamp and walked back to Rome.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: it's really not his kind of place.

Endrite (GM): So if there's a TPK for some reason he survives.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: everyone will be fine.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i think half of the people we set out with have given up and gone home

Masini: masini left because you're evil

Endrite (GM): That's the swamp for you.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: hey!

Bonfilia of Verditius: Well, that sounds like Masini's problem.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i, personally, am not evil

Bonfilia of Verditius: Maybe he has some growing up to do.

Archibald of Guernicus: I'm lawful neutral actually.

Masini: All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing -- Kurt Cobain

Aristocritus Bonisagi: argh!!

Bonfilia of Verditius: Maybe you should invent some sort of charter that can reign wizards in.

To prevent all this evil from happening.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: the charter sucks, frankly

Archibald of Guernicus: Well why don't you write a better one bitch

devil's fav demon: you know what that charter means? freedom.

Endrite (GM): Wait do we even still have enough characters here for everyone to play one?

Next week I mean.

There's only 5 left.

johns: rope kid and I would have to be grogs

Aristocritus Bonisagi: everyone is going to die of fatigue in this swamp anyway

devil's fav demon: nevio didnt leave. he's hurt and wouldnt leave anyway, in case someone got hurt and needed to be treated.

Endrite (GM): I guess if Darvin shows up someone can play his familiar.

devil's fav demon: poor guy could use a good night's sleep though. or two.

johns: He's gonna get a Dirt Nap the way this adventure's going

Archibald of Guernicus: I'm not fatigued at all, just warped by magical botching

johns: Y'know if our party of Magi dies just like Crispus' did, at least it will really add to the mystique of this place

Archibald of Guernicus: A good consolation

Aristocritus Bonisagi: the tpk is going to come after i spend all my seasons and aristocritus goes berserk over everyone ignoring hte archon

johns: you gotta assert yourself more!

Aristocritus Bonisagi: die!!

Bonfilia of Verditius: You are not the archon.

I am the archon.

johns: look at me. look. I am the Archon now.

Bonfilia of Verditius: You are not the IlKhan, Aristocritus!

johns: see y'all next week

Bonfilia of Verditius: what season are we up to now

Endrite (GM): See ya.

devil's fav demon: what season did the last session take place in. and this i guess. im very bad at this

dys: Thats a good point, what year and season is this

Endrite (GM): I'm not totally sure.

Ask in the thread.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: can someone add the seasons to the entries on the chatlog page

devil's fav demon: ok. have a good night.

Endrite (GM): Ask in the thread.

Since none of us seem to know.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: im going to go make some pastries, good game

Endrite (GM): See ya.
