Endrite (GM): Mystical Greetings.

johns (GM): yo yo

Endrite (GM): Whoops, had to get rid of that guy.

I think I'm gonna try Voice today.

johns: cool

c'thinker (GM): cthinker here

johns: i hope endrite sounds like a robot irl

dys: Roll20 voice?

I have that disabled always, no idea if it even works.

c'thinker (GM): what year is it

i can look that up i guess

johns: we need a little John Oliver button you can press that pops up the current year

c'thinker (GM): macro that says "it's 1327, dude. fuck you"

dys: It's currently 0 AT (Anno Trumpi)

Endrite (GM): Are you guys set up to receive voice?

c'thinker (GM): i am not

johns: I believe so, if you're broadcasting I can't hear anything

Endrite (GM): Please flip that swtich.

dys: I'll enable it and see if it works

There are now little symbols next to everyone's names.

c'thinker (GM): actually, how much time has passed since the hannelore adv

c'thinker: if everyone is using voice chat i'm not receiving anything

Endrite (GM): Hmm I'm talking on the mic.

johns: I'm hearing nothin'

dys: I hear nothing and you have an X next to your name.

johns: hannelore was spring 1327 and auction was fall 1327 so we are now Spring 1328 as I understand?

dys: I think so.

c'thinker: oh i forgot about the auction

dys: http://puu.sh/sh9To/0129845db9.png Here's how it looks.

johns: are you configured to receive voice in the Settings tab, dys

Endrite (GM): Hmm.

c'thinker: how much xp was the auction worth

dys: These symbols only showed up after I enabled voice.

Endrite (GM): Yeah it means you've disabled video.

dys: I want to recieve from others: Voice

johns: its somewhere in the chat log I can't look up at the moment

dys: That said I can't hear a thing.

johns: i hear the roll20 sound effects whenever someone chats

dys: Cumthinker, look through my recent posts in the ars thread, I posted Archibald's 1327

c'thinker (GM): try saying something now

dys: So that has the xp for the auction

johns: are you set to Broadcast Voice in settings, endrite

c'thinker (GM): i changed my Chat Tech. but to no avail

johns: huh were you just trying to say something, I think I saw that little error icon dys posted

Endrite (GM): Yeah I'm set to broadcast voice.

johns: just for a second though

c'thinker (GM): oh yeah

i see it

Endrite (GM): I have push to talk.

So I've been turning it on and off.

Do you have your volume levels up?

johns: yeah

have you given Chrome permission to use your microphone

dys: I don't hear a thing, music volume is set to max and I don't see a voice volume.

Endrite (GM): Yes.

johns: https://wiki.roll20.net/Audio_Visual_Troubleshooting

i heard a microphone rustling

Joshua S.: i just heard a voice for 3 seconds

idk

it sounds normal volume imo

c'thinker (GM): i didn't hear anything

Endrite (GM): Can you hear anything now?

c'thinker (GM): just the chat bloop

Joshua S.: i don't hear anything now

johns: there should be a version of the ray charles "I can't see shit" macro but it's beethoven, for situations like this

Endrite (GM): Aight good.

I pressed the push to talk button.

It's actually a toggle!

johns: when I mouseover endrite's av I see a volume bar but it's solid black with no way to interact

did you know you can drag and drop people's avatars/nameplates aroudn

Endrite (GM): I think that's just the mute button.

dys: I found out yesterday

It took a lot longer to find out how to fix it.

johns: anyone got any cool plans for the upcoming Tribunal

Endrite (GM): Who can't hear me?

johns can't

c'thinker: i still can't.

Joshua S.: i can't

Endrite (GM): But you could.

c'thinker: i see the X inside a speech bubble popping up

Endrite (GM): Hmm.

devil's fav demon: i cant hear endrite.

wait, th at's because i have voice turned off.

dys: I'm not sure if anyone even uses roll20 voice, even the games I've seen that use voip do it through skype and other programs.

devil's fav demon: okay, now i can't hear you, endrite.

c'thinker: i had the volume control thing on his avatar but it went away when i refreshed

Endrite (GM): Lemme try rejoining.

devil's fav demon: yes

Joshua S.: yes

Endrite (GM): Ok I muted myself let me try turning it back on and see if that still works.

Joshua S.: yes

devil's fav demon: yep

dys: I don't hear anything

Beardbeard: i see connection failed above endrites name

johns: dys is right, it would be better to just use discord imo

devil's fav demon: im sorry im behind on my seasons but i'll post it in the thread as this happens.

johns: or mumble

Endrite (GM): Yeah probably.

Beardbeard: or text

johns: not that I have either on my travel computer..

Endrite (GM): Text is too slow.

dys: Making a discord server is easy, I think. I own a mumble anyway if you want to do this in future. Though I massively prefer text.

Endrite (GM): Try quitting and rejoining.

Beardbeard: ive never had voice make games faster

dys: I found text faster than voice, actually.

Yeah, same.

devil's fav demon: yeah

Endrite (GM): Alright, text only for today.

devil's fav demon: i mean, whatever the preference is. i don't have a mic, so i'll be sticking with text on my end at least.

Endrite (GM): Well I'd hoped that just having the GM do voice would speed things up.

dys: Just the GM might speed things up.

Endrite (GM): So the GM can talk without the players waiting for him to finish typing.

dys: Maybe

Beardbeard: youll probably end up repeating yourself a lot because people arent paying attention or forgot what happened half an hour ago

johns: doesn't seem fair that the GM can talk and I can't keep interrupting him to call him a nerd, imo

Beardbeard: whereas with text they can just scroll up

dys: I have to ask people to repeat what they're saying in normal conversation due to poor attention span and mental retardation.

Endrite (GM): Ok anyway, let's get started with the adventure today.

You've been anxious to further investigate the Rod.

c'thinker: am i still in gm mode

guess not

(To dys): WE ALREADY KNEW YOU WERE SCOTTISH. BURN.

Joshua S.: nice

devil's fav demon: dys same.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I've been anxious to investigate the rod.

(From dys): I am going to put Lavinia in an open grave

Celeste: I've got to get a look at this rod.

Archibald of Guernicus: Yes yes, we all know you are interested in the rod.

Beardbeard: examine the rod

Aristocritus Bonisagi: >look rod

wait a minute. the rod is in bonfilia's lab

Joshua S.: bbiam

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Well let's ask a grog to fetch it

Endrite (GM): I don't see her here, do you?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: this is a high crime!!

Archibald of Guernicus: On the one hand, she has been missing for a year now.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: If she were serious about keeping a sanctum secure she would have booby trapped it, like the rest of us, right?

Archibald of Guernicus: On the other, breaking into your sodales lab is a crime.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Spring 1328: archibald is forced to behead all of the magi in vardian's tomb, then himself

Archibald of Guernicus: "Crime doesn't pay" - Guernicus the crime dog

Lavinia of Jerbiton: We'll ask Orsu to do it. He's not a Hermetic wizard so he can't be brought up at tribunal.

Muttley: Rats right.

Archibald of Guernicus: Venator should tell us where he buried her already.

Orsu Paganacci: mmm

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Orsu! There is a task impossible to the so called "great" Hermetic wizards of this covenant, that you and only you can perform!"

Orsu Paganacci: "Oh?"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "There is a mystical item in Bonfilia's lab. Do you mind recovering it?"

"You can just keep recovering mystical items, we'll let you know when you recover the right one we're looking for."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Just don't touch any breads."

Orsu Paganacci: "Is her lab warded in some way?"

"Why are you sending me?"

Endrite (GM): I JUST realized that I forgot to make a treasure card for this thing.

So look at this picture for now.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: "It's of utmost urgency."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Hermetic superstition. And I can't, because, it's not a proper task for a lady."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: nice rod

Endrite (GM): I could have sworn I did.

Archibald of Guernicus: Where did we get the rod again

Lavinia of Jerbiton: did you put it in the wrong deck

Orsu Paganacci: "If you can confirm that her lab is not warded, I will enter it."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: there's one deck for weapons (Armory) and one for loot (has a chest)

Endrite (GM): Yeah.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Saint Simon Zealot had it, i think

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Who can InVi? A watching ward is at a minimum Level 20

Endrite (GM): I think I might have just forgot to make it.

Prudenzio of Flambeau: Happens to us all.

Endrite (GM): And yet here it is.

Truly, the Lord works in mysterious ways.

Archibald of Guernicus: I can InVi. However, terrible news! I hate committing crimes and this feels like a crime.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Nerd.

I'll try divining

ease factor 20: detect magic of L30 or higher, ease factor 25: detect magic of L15 or higher

Aristocritus Bonisagi: sounds like it's time for Debate

If only Proclus were here...

Lavinia of Jerbiton:

rolling 1d10!+13+2+3 sortes

(

8

)

+13+2+3

=

26

Prudenzio of Flambeau: "While this urgent, very important matter is handled, and I'm looking at you, Orsu, I'll be back in my lab."

(To Endrite): What active magics do I detect of L15 or higher

Proclus of Rome: "I'm not going to set one foot in that lab."

(From Endrite (GM)): Ease factor 15 in the book.

Celeste: "What's that about going into a lab? I've never been in a real magus' lab before."

(From Endrite (GM)): Do you adjust those like with abilities?

(To Endrite): Yes, because Sortes now moves up like an Art

(From Endrite (GM)): Probably, so it'd be 25.

Celeste: "Did I just miss him? Unbelievable."

(From Endrite (GM)): Is there actually a trap?

(To Proclus of Rome): None that I knw of

(From Endrite (GM)): Ok, you find no traps.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Good news, there are no traps in her Sanctum."

Archibald of Guernicus: There will be soon

Good luck Celeste

Lavinia of Jerbiton: doh hoh hoh

Celeste: smh

Endrite (GM): ;)

Aristocritus Bonisagi: lol

Orsu Paganacci: "Fine, then."

Orsu Paganacci enters the lab Corsicanishly.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Godspeed."

Orsu Paganacci: "What am I looking for, anyway?"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: A rod inscribed with (iirc) Solomon made this for Kashbiel?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "It's written in Hebrew, though."

Orsu Paganacci: "What else would Solomon be written in?"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Arabic."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Aramaic"

Orsu Paganacci looking around the lab.

Orsu Paganacci: "Disgusting creature."

(From Orsu Paganacci): he doesn't have MT, just AL

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Also, if you see any spare wax tablets in there, I could use a new one."

(From Orsu Paganacci): where is that?

Celeste: "I actually have one in my pack, if you just need a regular wax tablet with no magic on it."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I take this time to extol the virtue of Augustan wards on lab entrances to my sodales

Orsu Paganacci: "I found a few wax tablets. I'll bring them out."

(From Orsu Paganacci): what kind of contraption

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Imagine, not needing to spend a single pawn of vis, to set your lab to instantly hurl a dozen sharp swords at an intruder."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: petty theft ftw

Celeste sniffs near things

Orsu Paganacci: "I found the rod. It's next to some strange contraption with a lens of some sort."

Celeste: "Huh. Nothing."

Archibald of Guernicus: I just realised this lab theft is the  perfect  excuse for me immediately bricking up the entrance to my own lab.

You fucking people can't be trusted.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "You could brick it up, but how would you accommodate servants or an apprentice?"

Celeste: bricking up your own lab is an invitation.

Archibald of Guernicus: "The same way I do right now. Not at all."

"If she comes back and sues ye at tribunal, that's all on you."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I look aghast. "I've committed no crimes here."

(From Orsu Paganacci): i take the rod.

Aristocritus Bonisagi shrugs

Archibald of Guernicus: "Using mundanes as a tool is the same as doing it yerself. Best hope Venator took her halfway across the world."

(From Orsu Paganacci): nice

(From Orsu Paganacci): I place it in my breeches like a prosthetic wiener and strut out like that.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "But you can use mundanes as agents for dealing with other mundanes, or as venditores."

"Actually, using mundanes as agents of non-magical espionage against other wizards is a rich and treasured tradition.."

Endrite (GM): Orsu struts out of the lab with the Rod shoved down his pants.

Archibald of Guernicus: [glances at -2 presence and -3 communication] "I don't want to get intae an argument about this."

Orsu Paganacci: "I found your rod."

Celeste: lol

Endrite (GM): Ok what's the plan here?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I assumed we were going to find out stuff through dedicated library research

Celeste: "Nobody wants to just fool around with it?"

Endrite (GM): Ok, you don't have much of a library on this topic.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: We could go back to the ghetto and ask about the angel named on the rod.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Can I use scholarly contacts to make use of the Sapienza library

Endrite (GM): SMDH you don't have Shaft, fuck you Fanburst.

You could do both of those things.

I assume you've kept up with your scholarly contacts?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: sapienza is the university, right

Endrite (GM): Yes, the Cathedral school in Rome.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Yes it's not like I have useful magic to spend my time on

Endrite (GM): Heh.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: who went out in the first place to have it translated?

probably bonfilia

Endrite (GM): It mostly exists to teach Theology and related topics to priests. The curriculum isn't as sophisticated as other universities, but this is sort of related to that topic, so you might be able to find some books on it.

Orsu Paganacci: "What needs to be translated?"

Endrite (GM): The writing on the Rod is in Hebrew and none of you can read it.

Or could at the time.

Orsu Paganacci can read Hebrew.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Someone took the rod to the Jewish quarter to have it translated right after we got it

Lavinia of Jerbiton: oh I did that i think

lets h ave orsu interrogate some jews about ancient angels and demons since he knows their language

Orsu Paganacci: ok

Celeste: "That sounds like a fun time out. We should bring them wine."

Orsu Paganacci: "I haven't had a fine jewess in a long time. I'm ready to go whenever the rest of you are."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: lol

Orsu "hayman" paganacci

Orsu Paganacci: lol

Celeste thinks about cut dick

Endrite (GM): Alright so which one of these things do you want to do first?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: i can do research on my own simultaneous to their efforts

Endrite (GM): Right but which one do you want to play out first?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: no preference here

Aristocritus Bonisagi: the ghetto

Orsu Paganacci: jews! jews!1 jews!!!

Celeste: let my people go! to see the jews!

Orsu Paganacci: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ-r0bilzhU

Lavinia of Jerbiton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgNDA_Z2H0U

Celeste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS6yqYzSZMo

Endrite (GM): Ok.

Celeste: ok.

Endrite (GM): So who is going down to the ghetto?

Orsu Paganacci: orsu

Endrite (GM): Anyone?

Anyone else I mean.

Masini: ill go

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i'll go

Masini: and keep everyone safe from the christkillers

Archibald of Guernicus: I will come, just in case any of their eggs hatch and the party is attacked.

Celeste: I'm going.

maybe we can bring nevio. who knows if we'll be injured.

Endrite (GM): Feel free to drag along as many grogs as you want.

I guess this is true of any time and place.

Celeste: sounds good. roll deep.

Orsu Paganacci brings Raffanio

Masini: i changed my mind and will be an annoying grog now

Raffanio: "Eyyyyyy"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: gabbagool.

Endrite (GM): Gabbagool hasn't been invented yet.

No tomatoes.

Raffanio: gabbagool exists in the primordial souls of all Italians

also gabagool is just pork iirc

Aristocritus Bonisagi: the lesser hermetic limit of gabbagool

Nevio plays an irritating ballata on a small bone flute. it's clear that Nevio has no idea what he's doing with this instrument.

Archibald of Guernicus: Eyy I'm casting ovah heah

Endrite (GM): Also feel free to bring along a bunch of grogs AND a real character.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: damn

Nevio: "You know, the Kosher diet treats the humours well."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i don't have a real character

Endrite (GM): Heh.

Nevio: "I like these people. Good values."

Endrite (GM): Alright let's head out.

Raffanio: "I love clams and oysters"

"If they're so smart why aren't they Christian huh? Chew on that wise guy"

Celeste: yeah gabbagool is how new jersey italians say capocollo

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "In Greece, Christians and Jews lived in harmony until the Crusader rabble arrived."

Celeste: cured meat

Endrite (GM): Eh.

Raffanio: "That's cause the Greeks are a bunch of silk wearing ninnies getting bossed around by their hairy wives"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: ack!

Archibald of Guernicus: "Aye, there's wisdom in that statement."

Nevio: "Oysters will excite you phlegmatically and cause an early death. Mark my words."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: actually, shouldn't hermetic magi be extremely aware that the dominion is linked to jews just like it's linked to christians

Endrite (GM): Alright, there are more pilgrims than usual today outside the Eastern Ear Inn, but, as usual, you don't have trouble moving through the crowd as people keep away from you.

(From Orsu Paganacci): i used charm of charm and charm of presence on myself before we left btw

Raffanio: "Yeah maybe but not eating oysters shrinks your  goulies "

(From Orsu Paganacci): just gives some bonuses to charm and presence

Endrite (GM): You mean Infernal magicks that are masquerading as Divine power?

(From Orsu Paganacci): yep

Raffanio: is it a holy day today

Celeste: "Perhaps one or two a season should do no harm."

Nevio: that's what i was going to say.

Endrite (GM): Not a Christian one.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: [dramatic music sting]

Raffanio: mustu be Ramadan then

Endrite (GM): It's possible.

Archibald of Guernicus: All divine domininion is infernal magicks masquerading as a divine power.

Endrite (GM): Alright, as you head to the ghetto, you notice something unexpected: a giant arguing with a Jew.

Raffanio: additionally all infernal power is just a branch of dark faerie

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "And look at this thing! Is this potato blighted? Are you proud of this? Would you pay this price?"

Orsu Paganacci: glenn danzig of 14th century italy

Raffanio: (what's a potato)

Orsu Paganacci: Wow this guy must be extremely well traveled.

Endrite (GM): VERY unusual.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: fuck!! did i mess it up already

Celeste: "Mm."

Orsu Paganacci: you crossed the fucking line

Raffanio: lol

Aristocritus Bonisagi: He's just saying that the Pope is blighted.

Endrite (GM): Alright turn in your character sheet, you're done.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: the tribunal will have me for this one

Aristocritus Bonisagi: and he's not wrong.

Orsu Paganacci: anyhoo

is the giant the guy yelling about the anachronistic tuber

Endrite (GM): "Sir, these turnips are fresh, I swear on my mother."

Raffanio: these corns look stepped upon

Endrite (GM): Heh.

Fresh crop of bunions.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: turnips might also be an anachronism

Orsu Paganacci: KoЯns

they aren't

Archibald of Guernicus: Fresh crop of clay.

Orsu Paganacci: turnips are used extensively in austrian heraldry

Malachiasz of Tytalus: to avoid future questions and issues grass will be the only plant eaten by hermetic magi

Aristocritus Bonisagi: lol

Raffanio: Pliny the Elder considered the turnip one of the most important vegetables of his day, rating it "directly after cereals or at all events after the bean, since its utility surpasses that of any other plant".

Malachiasz of Tytalus: uhhh whats the basic currency of rome

i should have looked into this beforehand

Endrite (GM): The Mythic Pound.

Nevio: It should be turnips.

Raffanio: florins?

Malachiasz of Tytalus: i do not think his turnip is worth am ythic pound

Orsu Paganacci: ARE WE IN FUCKING FLORENCE

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i think in montaillou the author says that turnips receded from the continent and were mostly eaten in britain for a long time

Nevio: Maybe you're not eating the right turnips.

Archibald of Guernicus: He is jewish, he may have asked for that.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: maybe im misremembering though.

Raffanio: sorry. you're right. It's Denarii

Endrite (GM): Maybe a mythic penny for a few bags full.

Orsu Paganacci: what's up with this giant anyway

Endrite (GM): Good question.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "I will pay 2 coins for this and no more."

Endrite (GM): He's definitely strange looking.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Probably nothing important. Let's be on our way.

Celeste: "So confident."

Raffanio: "He's trying to best these greedy pennypinchers at their own game, gotta respect that"

Endrite (GM): "Oh sir, that would surely condemn my children to starvation, but I have no choice but to take your gracious offer," the greengrocer says as he takes about 20 times what the turnip is worth in payment.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "Right! Good business with you, turnip merchant."

I turn around and notice the other out of place individuals.

Raffanio: is Malach regular or blatant gifter

Aristocritus Bonisagi is, as always, wearing his Hermetic emblem.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "Ah! Fellow magi?"

regular gift

I close the distance in a few giant strides. "Greetings! I am Malachiasz of Tytalus!" I emphasize the Tytalus.

Archibald of Guernicus: "Archibald of Guernicus."

Orsu Paganacci steps out of the way of this stanky giant.

Endrite (GM): He is NOT a leper, despite what it might look like.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: i have severe burning on my face

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Aristocritus Bonisagi. Of Vardian's Tomb."

Malachiasz of Tytalus: and uhhh tainted with evil if that has any noticeable effect

Archibald of Guernicus: Nothing more than saying Tytalus would do.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "Oho, you are a covenant? Wonderful!"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "You wouldn't happen to know Klybutes of Tytalus, by any chance?"

Endrite (GM): An air of corruption surrounds you as a

result of something you, your parens, or your

ancestors did. Others naturally feel very ill at

ease around you, and can easily grow to hate

you. Gaining a positive Reputation is impossible.

Magi do not react as strongly to this

Endrite (GM): attribute as normal people.

Orsu Paganacci avoids this guy's taint.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: celeste joke

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "I do not believe I have heard the name, no, but I would like to meet the owner if he is from my great house!"

Raffanio: Strange that Magi would feel at ease with someone who oozes evil. Very strange.

Endrite (GM): Yeah never seen that before.

The greengrocer is trying to sell you a turnip, Orsu.

Archibald of Guernicus: "So, which covenant do ye belong to?"

Celeste: Now that I'm a little closer I'm not quite as attracted. I'm sure you're a fine man.

Orsu Paganacci: in Hebrew, "I have no need of turnips, grocer."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Oh, I'm sure you'll run into him sooner or later if you stick around here long enough. He's an old friend."

Endrite (GM): He keeps telling you how fresh and delicious the turnips are.

Low in turnip acid, unlike some of the others you may have tried.

Nevio thinks about Malachiasz's bones. That guy has some big bones.

Endrite (GM): Roll a Order of Hermes Lore roll everyone.

Orsu Paganacci: still in Hebrew, "Look, grocer, I'll buy some of your turnips if you tell me where I can find a mekubbal."

Archibald of Guernicus:

Celeste: neither of the characters i'm using know any details about what you guys actually do, but i'll roll a d10 if you want

Orsu Paganacci has no OoH

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i added int to that

so. 14 without int

Endrite (GM): Orsu, he nods and asks how many turnips you want.

Orsu Paganacci: "4."

Nevio is trying to estimate exactly how much Malachiasz's skeleton weighs

Endrite (GM): "Oh certainly, sir." He holds out his hand to take payment without grabbing any turnips.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "What brings you to Rome, Malachiasz?"

Orsu Paganacci pays the man with... money??

Endrite (GM): How much?

In Mythic Pounds.

Or percentages thereof.

Orsu Paganacci: half an MP

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "Ah, I am on a pilgrimage. I have wandered aimlessly since finishing my apprenticeship."

"I was hoping to illuminate my path forward."

Celeste: "I've been doing that for years and it's never worked out for me. Nothing's really worked out for me. I hope you see the light."

(From Endrite (GM)): It's 1327 right?

(To Endrite): 1328 spring

(To Endrite): Asking for MP on a purchase of turnips seems a bit silly..

Endrite (GM): Orsu, he gives you directions that are pretty easy to follow.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "Hm. Perhaps I have. You are a covenant? Perhaps in need of a powerful magus of Tytalus?"

Raffanio: "Silly... Aint yall heard of a candle"

(From Endrite (GM)): It's actually for a bribe.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: smh

Joshua S.: cool.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: I smile half beggingly.

and do not mention the two years spent being rejected from covenants on my journey

Endrite (GM): So you can head there whenever you are ready.

(From Endrite (GM)): Where would I put the bribe on the ledger?

(To Endrite): between income and regular expenses is a spot for one off expenses

Joshua S.: i'm ready!

Celeste: "I just followed my dad here because I've been trying to track him down, but as soon as I found him he went into his lab and I've maybe seen him for one meal. The covenant hired me as a guard. I think they'll hire anybody."

Raffanio: vardian's tomb with it's ~10 wizards has to be the least discriminating covenant in the order

Endrite (GM): Have you met any of them? It's no wonder.

Archibald of Guernicus: "Not sure we have the room for another lab. Still, if Bonfilia turns up dead we can give out hers."

(From Endrite (GM)): Sundry Expenses, right?

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "Space is no issue for a magus skilled in the one true form of terram."

(From Endrite (GM)): Oh I can't edit it anyway.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: didn't we already give away bonfilia's lab on the map

Archibald of Guernicus: "Ah, a fellow pursuant of the finest form."

(To Endrite): Shit, sorry. Post the amount in the thread and I'll update the sheet later

(To Endrite): That whole sheet needs an overhaul anyway

Archibald of Guernicus: "We have a great summa of it back at the tomb, ye'll fit in nicely."

Celeste: "Yeah, you guys are both pretty scary."

Archibald of Guernicus: We didnt give away bonfilias map

Lab, rather

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "Excellent!"

Raffanio: "Orsu looks like he wants us to go somewhere Magi. Shall we?"

Joshua S.: "I learned the location of a mekubbal, one who practices kabbalah. That's what we're looking for, yes?"

Orsu Paganacci:  in orsu voice

Celeste: "I have no idea what you said."

Orsu Paganacci: "A Jewish mystic."

Archibald of Guernicus: "A mystic, ye say."

Celeste: "Oh. Lovely."

yeah lets go see him

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Sounds good to me."

Raffanio: "Dont let em look in your eyes or get their hands on your blood"

Archibald of Guernicus: I need to prepare my best Join or Die speech

If this mystic has the Gift

Endrite (GM): Ok.

Oh put your tokens on the map in the event that you try to murder this guy.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: I hope it doesn't come to that.

Celeste: "I hope we kill him... with kindness."

Endrite (GM): Anyway, the Ghetto is not large, but there are so many alleys, stairs, and courtyards that it takes a while for you to find your destination.

It's a humble building with no special markings.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Are you sure that guy didn't trick you?"

Orsu Paganacci shrugs.

Orsu Paganacci: "If he did, we'll go over and knock down his turnip stand."

Orsu Paganacci knocks on the doorway Jewishly.

Raffanio: ruining the lives of street vendors is what we do best

Endrite (GM): You hear someone say something in what you recognize as Judeo-Italian.

Orsu Paganacci has bad hearing so he yells out, "Huh?"

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "You should not treat the noble turnip with such disrespect."

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: "Yes, hello, welcome to my home. Wait, why would gentiles be visiting me in the middle of the day?"

So only Orsu speaks Hebrew, right?

Celeste: "You're an expert on Jewish rods?"

Orsu Paganacci: "Is there another time we should be here? Forgive our intrusion."

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: If that is the case, all communication has to go through Orsu.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: if he's speaking judeo-italian and we speak italian we should be able to have some kind of conversation

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: That's where you're wrong!

It's actually a dialect of Hebrew or Aramaic.

Orsu Paganacci: noice

Aristocritus Bonisagi: ack!

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: Unique to Italy, of course.

Possibly Rome had it's own dialect but I don' want to speculate.

Orsu Paganacci: the yiddish of italy

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: Anyway he's a rabbi so he speaks Hebrew.

Celeste: i'm sure he speaks italian, but is just refusing to do that or acknowledge those who don't speak hebrew.

Orsu Paganacci: cool

Raffanio: lets call him names in Italian until he slips up and reveals it, Celeste

Celeste: until we're "cool"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: alls i know is judeo-spanish at this point in history is extremely similar to other spanish languages

(From Orsu Paganacci): i did, didn't i?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: anyway, let's get to talking

Archibald of Guernicus: Good luck Orsu. As our most accomplished liar you can beat him.

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: He talks to Orsu in Hebrew.

Orsu Paganacci continues speaking Jewishly.

Raffanio: i strike up a conversation with Malach. "So, you ever kill anyone"

(From Orsu Paganacci): "We tend to draw stares and negative attention wherever we go, so it's best to travel in a group. We were hoping we could ask for your advice on a rod we found with Hebrew writing. I can understand the text, but not its significance... "

Aristocritus Bonisagi takes a look at the place while Orsu and the rabbi are talking

(From Orsu Paganacci): "No, no. It has some sort of mystical significance."

Orsu Paganacci shows the rabbi the rod.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "Ah, yes. I have been ambushed by a few bandits on my travels. Poor unfortunate souls."

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: Aristocritus, it's a humble abode, but you can see some kind of cloth on a table.

Maybe it's an altar?

There's a book on the cloth.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: jews are so weird.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "They should have known the consequences of entering into a conflict with a great magus of Tytalus."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Ah good, someone who can hold their own in a fight. There's too many that just expect their grogs to solve it for them."

I say glancing at Aristocritus

Orsu Paganacci looks at the rabbi like, "Dude."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i don't even bring grogs along!

Archibald of Guernicus: You just float

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "It is one of the greatest benefits of terram. I do not even have to spend time after the battle making a grave for them."

(From Orsu Paganacci): "I was told you were a mekubbal. If that's not true, I can find someone else and pay them..."

Raffanio: "Murder is 'for the win,' as we locals put it"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Nothing wrong with floating.

(From Orsu Paganacci): I was already showin it to him!!

Archibald of Guernicus: I nod, and give him a firm handshake. Terram adds to your soak so it makes your handshake firmer.

"Aye, a strange expression, but it rings true Raffanio."

Malachiasz of Tytalus: I shake Archibald's tiny hand firmly.

Raffanio: "Magic's impressive and all that but you're missing out one of the finer joys of life if you aren't right up in their face watching the life drain out of it by your own hands"

Archibald of Guernicus: I smile and pat my longsword

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "I would prefer that those who lose to me will live to fear and respect me. But rare is it that someone is fool enough to engage a Tytalus magus yet smart enough to give in."

Raffanio: "Send them packing on their way to the devil with your face being the last thing they ever see. Just this humble grog's opinion"

Celeste: "A little odd, in my opinion, to be so enthusiastic about it. I like feeling that I've overcome a challenge, though. Ending lives is part of the job. Runs in the family I hear, ha ha ha."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Aye, yer dad does have his share of skeletons in the closet. And ghosts following him everywhere."

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: He continues to converse with Orsu.

But if any of you have concerns you should bring them up.

(From Orsu Paganacci): "I am no magician. Just a scholar from Bologna with an interest in such things."

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh I'm just here in case murder is needed, and am enjoying a nice conversation on the matter.

Celeste: "I followed him here by tracing a string of political assassinations. If there's one thing I'm happy about, at least he's just staying in his room now."

Raffanio: "Youd think you'd all have skeletons in your closet when you live in a crypt"

Archibald of Guernicus: "Oh, I cleared the things out of mine. Dumped them in one of the unused labs."

"Think Prudenzio moved into that one."

Malachiasz of Tytalus: "I believe they would act as fine decor."

(From Orsu Paganacci): i already said i was showing it to him twice!!

(From Orsu Paganacci): lmbo

Celeste: yeah, i'm just here in case someone starts brawling for some reason. i dont have any idea whats going on about the rod and this guy is too old and weird for celeste's personal tastes

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Well, you'll have all the skeletons you could ever want and more at Vardian's Tomb."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Piles of the things. Nowhere to put them, really."

Raffanio: im watching FORGED IN FIRE on the other screen while orsu speaks in hebrew

Archibald of Guernicus: I'm reading badgame at record slow pace as the site has been semi-functional for me for a day now.

(From Orsu Paganacci): "I think it's old."

Orsu Paganacci is showing the rod to the rabbi.

Celeste decides it's been long enough and starts in on her wineskin

Orsu Paganacci: where did we get the rod, anyway?

Celeste: "Anyone want some? Rabbi?"

i gesture with the wine at the rabbi even if he's not looking at me.

Raffanio: iirc it was either Saint Simon the Zealot, or from the demon that was brought forth

both in the Parthenon

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Simon had it

the demon had something else

Endrite (GM): It couldn't have been from Kabshiel.

He had a carpenter's hammer.

Raffanio: He had a hammer of pure Vis then

(From Orsu Paganacci): Orsu laughs a little. "Not as far as I know. It's just some curiosity we picked up a while ago."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: pure tainted vis.

Archibald of Guernicus: I got nailed to the floor and all I got was this shitty rod.

Raffanio: alright so it's from Saint Simon who is likely-- I don't think we've confirmed this-- a faerie

and he's leading some flagellant cult

Archibald of Guernicus: He's openly fae.

Prudenzio of Flambeau thinks, back there in his lab, about all those skeletons in Vardian's tomb.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: well, the guy lives in a faerie aura

it's a faer assumption.

ha ha.

Raffanio: heh

Orsu Paganacci: (to the others, in Latin) "He's asking if he can keep it a while to study."

"Sounds like a terrible idea to me, but it's not mine."

Archibald of Guernicus: "For how long?"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Did he know anything about whoever-el?"

Orsu Paganacci: "I just showed him the rod. I didn't tell him anything about it."

(to rabbit) "How long?"

ping

Raffanio: pong

lets pick an archon from this gang if we don't ave a decision

(From Orsu Paganacci): "Given what you were saying earlier, it does surprise me a little."

Celeste: "Ask him if we can stay with him while he looks at it."

Orsu Paganacci: i'm consulting jewishly with the rabbi

(From Orsu Paganacci): "Could one of our number remain close by? The rod is, if nothing else, quite valuable."

Archibald of Guernicus: We have 2 hermetic magi here so it's 50/50.

That are in the archon system.

Raffanio: roll a 1d2, 1 for archibald and 2 for aristo?

Archibald of Guernicus: Go for it.

Raffanio:

rolling 1d2

(

2

)

=

2

Aristocritus Bonisagi: power flows through me

Archibald of Guernicus: The system failed us again.

I wonder what incredibly boring path that lacks good, red-blooded combat the bonisagus will take.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: let's leave the rod with the rabbi.

Raffanio: That's why you're the best, boss

(From Orsu Paganacci): "Our leader has decided to leave the rod with you. A few days, you say?"

Celeste: is that virtuous?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: what else are we gonna do, cut his head off

Orsu Paganacci: yes

Raffanio: just say the word dude

Celeste: stay in his house and eat his food.

that will encourage him to study it faster

Orsu Paganacci shrugs to the rabbi.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i mean he's probably our best shot

Orsu Paganacci: where should we send the BOY when he's finished?

Archibald of Guernicus: I dont trust him completely, so I will do something after we depart.

Orsu Paganacci: i.e. where can he contact us

the inn?

Celeste: he's the only jewish mystic we know

Raffanio: we let wizards and other weirdos drop by the inn, why not a Jew too

Orsu Paganacci: yeah, the inn. i tell him. rod up

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: He takes the rod and bids you farewell.

Endrite (GM): Anything else you want to do in the ghetto?

Orsu Paganacci: any fine jewesses in this part of town

Aristocritus Bonisagi: How long did he say it would take?

Endrite (GM): Yes.

A few.

Orsu Paganacci: he said it would take a few days

Endrite (GM): Jewesses I mean.

Celeste: I'm going to see if I can find someone to work this hunk of steel into arrows.

Orsu Paganacci lustily eyes the jewesses on the way out.

Archibald of Guernicus: Just in case he tries to steal the rod and run, for insurance I cast prying eyes on his house after he goes inside.

Endrite (GM): Her mother glares at you.

Archibald of Guernicus: I use flexible formulaic magic to extend it to sun duration.

(To Archibald of Guernicus): can you get any A/C to the man himself?

Endrite (GM): Alright.

(From Archibald of Guernicus): Nope.

Endrite (GM): You still need to be touching the room for it to work.

I don't really see the value in increasing the duration.

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh, really? Dang, never mind.

I assumed it just needed to be touched for the start of the spell and not the entire duration.

Endrite (GM): No, but if you have it at Sun duration you could walk away and come back and just touch it again.

Archibald of Guernicus: I could switch it to voice targetting and keep concentrating, maybe.

Endrite (GM): It's possible.

Celeste: youd have to st ay within voice range, wouldn't you?

Endrite (GM): Yes.

Archibald of Guernicus: Ah forget it then.

Celeste: well, if you touched it you could have an arcane connection and i think then you'd be fine walking away, right

or you could do somet hing to establish one? im murky on that right now

Raffanio: You'd need to chip part of the wall off and take it with you to be an A/C

Aristocritus Bonisagi: the rabbi is a hermetic magus and this is all a sting operation to bust archibald for scrying

Raffanio: lol

Endrite (GM): Ya got me.

Archibald of Guernicus: I specifically asked if his gift pinged on us at the start and recieved no response.

So I assumed the answer was no

Aristocritus Bonisagi: freeze! this is the trianoma bureau of investigation

Orsu Paganacci: you just made an ass out of u and herMEs

Endrite (GM): I don't think that's how the Parma Magica works.

Archibald of Guernicus: I remember someone saying that the parma has some effect when something fails to penetrate it, and this includes the gift.

Endrite (GM): It only lets you know if a spell is being cast on you if it blocks it.

Just spells, I believe.

Raffanio: liesmith said that, and he was wrong

the gift is not a magical effect that penetrates resistance

Celeste: a side effect of the parma is that it blocks the repulsive aspects of the gift so that other magi can interact with each other is what i thought

maybe i got it from him

Raffanio: remember that you have Magic Resistance 24/7 even without Parma due to your form bonus, so if it really needed to penetrate anyone who has Vim form open would always resist it anyway

Endrite (GM): This.

Archibald of Guernicus: Huh. TIL.

Endrite (GM): Anyway how do you want to spy on this rabbi?

Archibald of Guernicus: It's too much effort, and I have no way of knowing if he's hermetic + the only person who can ask is a serial liar. So no.

Raffanio: someone should sneak in later and steal something that serves as an arcane connection, like a tool or book or whatnot

Endrite (GM): I rarely lie.

Orsu Paganacci: do we have any sneakthiefs anymore

Endrite (GM): Steal his Torah.

Archibald of Guernicus: I meant Orsu who has puissant guile I believe.

My companion is a very good sneakthief, Orsu.

Orsu Paganacci: nice

Aristocritus Bonisagi: I trust the rabbi.

Orsu Paganacci: have him be sneaky and spy on him

Archibald of Guernicus: She's back at the tomb, but she can't spy on a hermetic magus either as she's a redcap.

Celeste: have him follow the rabbi around the whole time he has the rod

ah

Raffanio: with an A/C lavinia at the very least can keep tabs on his location.

Celeste: i've only got average skills at stealth and legerdemain.

Endrite (GM): Geez you're so paranoid about everyone being a Hermetic Magus.

Archibald of Guernicus: If someone comes up and asks Zita to steal an AC to him she will.

Otherwise I guess we wait till he figures out the rod.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: leave the poor guy alone

Archibald of Guernicus: Well, you heard the archon.

Guess we wait.

Endrite (GM): So are you just going to wait here?

Celeste: "Already out of wine. Figures."

what else can we do while we wait again? there was the other thing

Orsu Paganacci: Orsu suggests we leave unless one of the jewesses responds to his charms.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: the university

Endrite (GM): Well yeah Lavinia is going to the library.

Raffanio: strange how she always seems to disappear when the tasks involve going into dangerous ghettos, dangerous swamps, etc.

Archibald of Guernicus: "Aye, let's leave."

Celeste: those are the only places in life I feel alive.

Archibald of Guernicus: "Can't understand a word of this nonsense."

Endrite (GM): Alright, so let's shift over to Lavinia and anyone else who wants to go to your local library.

(From Orsu Paganacci): I'll remember where she lives for later.

Celeste: I'll stick with the wizards here. Got to protect those weirdos.

Orsu Paganacci heads to the library with the others.

Celeste: so i follow them.

aww.

Endrite (GM): Ok everyone who is going to the library drop your tokens on the map.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i'll head over

maybe we'll run into magister whatshisname

Lavinia of Jerbiton: i travel with my chaperone Sir Oak as always

Endrite (GM): He's so gallant.

Archibald of Guernicus: Be careful in the library. Could get intense.

Endrite (GM): It could be.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: is Orsu a magister?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: It can't be any more intense than the last time we got in a fight in a library.

Zita of Mercere: I'll attend the library, as the adventure with Hannelore gave me a taste for book theft.

Orsu Paganacci: No, Orsu is just a  ~ bachelor ~

however, he is a great liar

Lavinia of Jerbiton: just as good

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Remember, these guys may or may not have a secret stash of Hermetic texts hidden somewhere.

devil's fav demon: do I have those arrows? i don't know how long it takes someone to make 25 arrows.

Celeste: yeah.

johns: Yeah it's no problem to find a good smith in the city

I was wondering if I should make cards for them or you can just manually track your ammo

Aristocritus Bonisagi: probably just a day or two

Celeste: i could track them. i have a little notepad open while im playing

ill just update it in this roll20 profile actually for transparency

"Maybe they have some cool erotica."

Endrite (GM): Alright let's head out.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: everyone knows the greatest horde of smut in the world is in the Vatican's Secret Archives

Celeste: "That lines up perfectly with my beliefs."

oh its Big Fire

Endrite (GM): As you reach Sapienza, you find a loud crowd gathered to listen to a speaker.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: hey, it's that guy who debated Proclus and made him run home crying like a little girl

Endrite (GM): While most of the crowd are just assorted city dwellers, there's a large portion of penitents.

There's also one who is clearly a leper, off to one side.

Celeste: "Poor guy."

Orsu Paganacci: rip

Paul the Demagogue: "... and this so-called "school" is nothing but another way that the corrupt priesthood of Rome extracts money from faithful Christians!"

Celeste: brb

Paul the Demagogue: "Their fees are nothing more than base simony!"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: are the crowd wearing those weird hoods

Orsu Paganacci: "Oh, I've heard of this fool, I think."

This is Trump's Rome, now.

Paul the Demagogue: "Knowledge should be free for all believers!"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: he's going to Build the Aurelian Wall

Paul the Demagogue: Only the penitents wear the hoods.

That's how you know they're penitents.

That and the blood on their backs.

Zita of Mercere: I've seen Roman attempts at building a wall, they're not the best.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I listen a bit, curious

Paul the Demagogue: "Did the apostles hoard the teachings of Jesus Christ behind walls? No! They shared it freely with all who would listen!"

Muzio the Bastard: "Probably see 'im in the gallows soon."

Zita of Mercere: "Ah, so he wants information to be free. I see, I see."

Paul the Demagogue: The crowd mostly seems in agreement with Paul.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: is there like, a city watch, or similar force we can alert to the presence of a leper

Zita of Mercere: I'm immune to disease so I could just tackle him away if necessary.

Paul the Demagogue: He's a little further away than it looks.

But it's funny that you should mention the city watch, because a priest and some armed men come out of the school.

Orsu Paganacci: noice

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Oh good, someone sensible is here."

Zita of Mercere: "I wonder if they'll get in a fight."

Muzio the Bastard: "Hope so."

Celeste: ok. sorry.

Priest: "Get back you curs, you're distracting the students from their lessons with your rabble-rousing."

Orsu Paganacci: mm

(From Aristocritus Bonisagi): AFK

Paul the Demagogue: Oh wow that macro does work.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Pilum of Fire vs Priest: 21 Damage

Celeste: lol

Lavinia of Jerbiton: that one works too thankfully

"Let's back off a little so we aren't mistaken as part of this rabble, sodales.."

Paul the Demagogue: "See how quickly they turn to the sword, but truly have we not been taught that him that lives by the sword shall die by it?"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Pilum of Fire vs Aristocritus Bonisagi: 17 Damage

Paul the Demagogue: Throwing around Piliums won't make it easier.

Orsu Paganacci: a pilum for a pilum leaves the whole world roasted

Lavinia of Jerbiton: the penitents seem to outnumber the priest, what would happen if a fight broke out

Zita of Mercere: "We should get them to fight, then we can just walk in."

Orsu Paganacci: "What do we need here, again?"

Zita of Mercere: I shrug

Paul the Demagogue: Well, none of the penitents are armed as far as you can see.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "I wanted to get some time in the library, to look up that inscription."

Paul the Demagogue: But they could definitely overwhelm the few guards here.

Orsu Paganacci: "Ah."

Orsu Paganacci strizzols on up to see if he can get inside.

Paul the Demagogue: The priest orders his men to start clearing away the crowd.

Some resist and are shoved around, quickly turning the crowd violent.

The guards immediately panic and draw their swords.

The priest flees back into the school.

Do you want to intervene here?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I look at my sodales

Muzio the Bastard: I lick my lips and grip my sword.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "This could be a good chance to support our fellow scholars."

Orsu Paganacci: "Is all this really necessary?" Orsu bellows Corsicanishly.

Zita of Mercere: "Lavinia, what's the book you wanted? I could go take a look for it inside."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "I don't know yet, it'll take time and likely many volumes to research."

Paul the Demagogue: Orsu, you get drowned out over the pre-riot noise.

Orsu Paganacci: cool

Zita of Mercere: "Guess we should help them out then."

Paul the Demagogue: Help who out?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: the University Guardsmen

Zita of Mercere: Our fellow scholars, as Lavinia suggested.

Muzio the Bastard: "Yeah!"

Paul the Demagogue: Ok.

Zita of Mercere: It's time to go HAM on unarmed civilians.

Paul the Demagogue: What's your plan here?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Im happy to just try grappling / scuffling and not draw any blood

Zita of Mercere: I'll push one of the flagellents over.

Orsu Paganacci: my plan is to avoid physical conflict

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Sir Oak is going to wade in, spinning his arms around, and if these guys get hit, well, that's on them

Paul the Demagogue: Heh.

Celeste: Well, that works.

Zita of Mercere: Pillum of flame doesn't draw any blood.

Celeste: I guess we're in combat now.

Paul the Demagogue: Alright so who is fighting here?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Sir Oak Initiative: 76

Muzio the Bastard: Muzio the Bastard Initiative: 30

Zita of Mercere: Zita of Mercere Initiative: 63

Paul the Demagogue: Zita, Sir Oak, and who else?

Celeste: me

Paul the Demagogue: Ok.

Celeste: Celeste Initiative: 66

Muzio the Bastard: boss says fight, i fight

Orsu Paganacci abstains from the fight

Paul the Demagogue: Ok.

Zita of Mercere: I love to be helpful through violence.

Celeste: It's the main thing I'm good at.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: ok so the base rules say, if you're unarmed/using a bludgeon you can scuffle and just do Fatigue damage instead of real damage

Paul the Demagogue: "Brothers, do not fear the Roman's blades, for did not Jesus Christ say, 'That you resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.'"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: if you have a real weapon you can scuffle but it's -3 cause you're trying not ot accidentally kill them

Celeste: I have a blunt weapon and I will take the -3.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: ropekid what is that combat move called where the knight wails on the other knight with the sword hilt

Celeste: I guess I can't do fatigue damage with my arrows.

Paul the Demagogue: Alright, they're passively resisting.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Oh

Paul the Demagogue: Sir Oak.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I thought you said it was a fight

Celeste: Well, then let's just go.

Orsu Paganacci: mordschlag

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Then Oak will just grapple one

Paul the Demagogue: It was but now they're listening to Paul.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: okay nevermind

Orsu Paganacci: or mordhau

Lavinia of Jerbiton: oak does nothing

Orsu Paganacci: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordhau

Paul the Demagogue: Ok.

Celeste: "Thanks Paul!"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: if they're doing nothing I see no need to attack. sorry. sorry.

Paul the Demagogue: Celeste.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: mordhaus

Celeste: I mean yeah if they're no longer doing anything I think we're fine.

I won't hit them with my mace.

Zita of Mercere: Oh if they calmed down then yeah I don't attack either, I was hoping to wade into a brawl and push someone over, not just push a guy over out of the blue.

Celeste: yet.

Paul the Demagogue: The guards are still going to kill them.

Zita of Mercere: Oh. Lol.

Muzio the Bastard: not if i get to them first

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Hey they're guards, that's what they do

Paul the Demagogue: It is.

Zita of Mercere: They don't need my help with that, anyway.

Celeste: I guess I shouldn't attack the guards?

o

Paul the Demagogue: Look to your own heart.

Celeste: i'll just stand in front of them and block.

Paul the Demagogue: What is your True Faith anyway?

Celeste: Christianity but I think Christ and Dionysus are the same figure and that Christ was a boozy sexhaver

and that no other god in the greek pantheon was real

Paul the Demagogue: That seems difficult to reconcile with just about anything.

Celeste: wait no its a gnostic thing but the christ/dionysus/manifestation of the true creator is still there.

well, like I said in the thread, I could just be a regular christian who drinks a lot. I don't really care, i guess.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: the hedonism bit is pretty out there

(From Aristocritus Bonisagi): Back

Lavinia of Jerbiton: since material pleasures are definitely the domain of nasty infernal types

Celeste: I figured it would be a stretch but it seemed accepted at the time. i don't mind changing the character though.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: A crisis of faith in the middle of combat!!!

c'thinker: asceticism is evil as well.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: did i miss anything

Paul the Demagogue: Some stuff.

There's sort of a riot.

Zita of Mercere: We're watching guards slaughter civilians because we want to help the innocent scholar.

Paul the Demagogue: Ok.

So, you want to block, Celeste?

Celeste: yeah, i want to put myself between the guards and the penitents.

Celeste: "there's no need for violence now!"

Endrite (GM): He swings at you.

With that roll.

You gonna block or are you gonna take the hit?

Celeste: im going to block but i forgot the defense roll so i was looking it up. sorry.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: theres something buried in the "Handouts" section

Dodge Defence: Quickness + Brawl Ability + Shield Bonus - Size + 5

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Bonuses to attack:

Target is unaware: Target defense is 0

Attacker has weapon, Defender is brawling: +3 to Attack

Celeste: oh, weapon ability too?

Orsu Paganacci: be back in 10

Celeste: i thought i had to use brawl + shield.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: brawl is your weapon ability there if you're unarmed

the rules weren't written considering someone defending unarmed but with a shield



Celeste: well, then its 16 and still a hit.

well i have my mace out im just not attacking with it

Lavinia of Jerbiton: if you're blocking with it then you use your weapon abilitiy

Celeste: thats the 16.

wait the weapon's attack bonus too?

then 20. wow i really did not remember those rules.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: you're not supposed to roll a die to defend

Celeste: jesus. my life is a shambles.

Endrite (GM): Wouldn't it be great if there was a single weapon roll?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: the idea is you calculate it in advance so that combat does not slow to a halt with every strike. lol.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: gahaha.

should i roll initiative

i'm rolling initiative

Celeste: incredible.

Zita of Mercere: Audience roars with laughter.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: Aristocritus Bonisagi Initiative: 30

Endrite (GM): If you want to fight.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: You'll never guess my next move.

Endrite (GM): Ok are you hit or what?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: celeste your block is qik (2) + single weapon (6) + weapon b onus (0) + shield bonus (1) + 5

[[2+6+0+1+5]

Celeste: thank you.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: 14

Endrite (GM): Alright, you take a serious blow.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Oh! we're not using the book rules.

sorry.

Endrite (GM): For some reason, you feel no pain.

Celeste: ohhhhhh

Endrite (GM): The guard who strikes you cries out and starts bleeding as if struck.

Celeste: "Huh!"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: whoa, cool

Endrite (GM): Zita.

Zita of Mercere: I am skipping my turn to go wander over and case the building for windows I could escape from after we're done.

Endrite (GM): You're outside.

You're already escaped in that sense.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: classic vardian's tomb combat turn

Zita of Mercere: Yeah, it's good to case from outside first, before going in.

Endrite (GM): Ok/

There are some windows.

Muzio.

Muzio the Bastard: do the penitents offer any resistance to me moving through them with a sword in my hands?

Muzio the Bastard: it says Great Weapon

which i assume would be a greatsword

Endrite (GM): Probably.

Muzio the Bastard: oh there it is

johns: Murder ftw, folks.

Endrite (GM): Where is the wound table?

johns: What's the wound level?

Endrite (GM): Ok I found it.

Alright that's a Killing Blow!

You take 25 damage Muzio.

Muzio the Bastard: on me probably

yeah

Celeste: lol

Muzio the Bastard: dont forget my soak!

which probably doesnt apply and would kill me anyway

johns (GM): dead grogs ftw

Endrite (GM): It does apply.

Celeste: muzios head just flies off

johns (GM): sorry I just realized the combat rules has some old unneeded crap on it, i'll clean up the handout now

Muzio the Bastard: soak +8 i dont know if thats after armor effects

Endrite (GM): So you're at 3 wounds.

It's after armor.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: proclus would really appreciate the arc muzio's head is flying in right now

Muzio the Bastard: alright

is 3 wounds dead

Zita of Mercere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd9muK2M36c

Endrite (GM): No.

Muzio the Bastard: excellent

Endrite (GM): It's nearly dead.

Muzio the Bastard: muzio does it again

"What the fuck?"

Endrite (GM): I'd LIKE to say you're instantly dead but unfortunately you are merely incapacitated.

Alright, Aristocritus.

The other guards strike down some penitents and find themselves miraculously wounded.

They flee.

johns (GM): Shenanigans afoot, sodales

Endrite (GM): The crowd cheers and some start praying ecstatically.

Celeste: Mission accomplished.

Endrite (GM): You want to do anything with Muzio?

johns (GM): Oak will pick him off the ground

Endrite (GM): Ok.

johns (GM): What's Paul doing

Endrite (GM): He's praying as well.

Zita of Mercere: Another successful fight, everyone.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: well.

i'll stop floating. i guess.

aristocritus has done it again

Endrite (GM): Ok.

Muzio the Bastard: its paul

johns (GM): well OK

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Paul, what have you done to Muzio?"

Endrite (GM): I'm not totally sure how recovery works so we'll put that on hold.

Paul the Demagogue: "Sister, come pray with me for the soul of that misguided brute."

He holds out his hand.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I do not take his hand.

Paul the Demagogue: Ok.

Celeste: recovery seems needlessly complicated so yeah its for the best

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "You've spilt blood, Paul. Your own soul is at stake."

Paul the Demagogue: "The Lord has protected his flock, as he did in ancient Egypt."

"I have done nothing but spread the good word."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "You're saying you're Moses, in this example?"

Paul the Demagogue: "He and I have both been visited by God, so perhaps I am, at that."

Zita of Mercere: "Looks like magic to me."

Paul the Demagogue: "The only magic here is Love."

Orsu Paganacci: back

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Paul, if you what you say is true, you must be a saint.. May I take a relic?"

Paul the Demagogue: "Come, let us pray that these sinful priests will amend their ways."

Zita of Mercere: "Hey, try a spell or something, a weak one, see if that gets reflected." I whisper to Lavinia

Paul the Demagogue: "If that will bring you closer to God, how can I refuse?"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Haha. Yeah. Let me just spont a spell.

That's totally a thing, that I do

Paul the Demagogue: Triggered.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: lol

Zita of Mercere: Surely you know low level formulaic effects that aren't outright murder.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "If you would spare a lock of your hair, Saint Paul, I will see that it finds a place of honor in a proper reliquary."

Zita of Mercere: Surely.

Paul the Demagogue: Heh!

Zita of Mercere: Nice job Lavinia

Lavinia of Jerbiton: i can't cast formulaic spells without 15 minutes of loud chanting

Paul the Demagogue: Alright, he pulls out a lock of his hair and gives it to you.

Orsu Paganacci: the reliquary of an arcane connection to kill you you fuckin jackass!!

Aristocritus Bonisagi: prophets are SO stupid

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "You've given us a lot to think about Paul. Bless you."

"I think we're taking our leave now, right sodales?"

Orsu Paganacci: "If by 'take our leave' you mean 'going inside', yes."

Muzio the Bastard: i let out an approving scream of pain

Celeste: "Sure."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Alright

One day one of us will have enough InVi to detect magic

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Let's."

Zita of Mercere: "Bye."

Lavinia of Jerbiton steps over the dead guardsmen nonchalantly

Paul the Demagogue: None of them died.

They didn't crit like Muzio did.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Ah, interesting

Well I'll make sure at least not to get blood on my shoes

"Nunzio, can you tend to Muzio for now?"

"*Nevio

Nevio: muzio needs to make a recovery roll using my chirurgy score vs an ease factor corresponding to the level of the wound

Jehan the Leper: "Psst."

Nevio: A roll of 9+ improves

all Incapacitating Wounds to Heavy Wounds,

and recovery then proceeds normally. Any

other roll means a somewhat worsened condition,

and all subsequent Recovery rolls are

made at a cumulative –1 penalty until the

Nevio: wounds improve or the character dies. If the

character is attended by a chirurgeon or medic,

a bonus equal to the relevant Ability applies.

These are standard Recovery rolls, and

magic that helps normal Recovery rolls also

helps these.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I cower from the leper

Jehan the Leper: "Over here," he whispers with an Aquitaine accent.

Nevio: hes getting a +14 to the roll so he makes it to Heavy wound, and if he rolls a 1 on the second recovery roll will make it to medium wound

Muzio the Bastard: oh sorry

Orsu Paganacci: aqui Tane

Muzio the Bastard: ok so just roll +14 then

Aristocritus Bonisagi: thanks orbu

Jehan the Leper: Oh shit.

Muzio the Bastard: or wait the bonus is good enough that i dont need to?

Nevio: chirurgy total + stamina + magical help + stress die

i think just extrapolating the possible rolls means you recover, yeah. its a pretty high bonus. unless there are any conditions preventing your recovery it should be automatic

johns (GM): "What do you want, Aquitainer"

Muzio the Bastard: alright

is that instant

Nevio: no

Jehan the Leper: It takes time.

Muzio the Bastard: damnit

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Yes, leper?"

Jehan the Leper: "I noticed your friend was hurt."

Nevio: he'll take a season to recover

Jehan the Leper: "I can help him.

(From Jehan the Leper): What do you want to know?

Nevio: "As you are a filthy leper."

(To GM): What his intentions are

Zita of Mercere: "What, you think leprosy spreads?"

(From Jehan the Leper): He seems genuine in his offer to help, but there's something else going on in addition to altruism.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Lepers spread foul humors and are cursed by the Divine. They should not be trifled with. No offense, well-meaning stranger.."

Jehan the Leper: "Do not worry, if the Lord wanted you to have leprosy, you would already look like me," he laughs.

Zita of Mercere: "We're all good people, so we're perfectly fine."

Jehan the Leper: "Please let me help your friend," he takes out a small wooden box on the end of chain.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Nevio, let him see Muzio."

Orsu Paganacci: tinybox ftw

Nevio: "Fine, fine. You are the authority, here."

Jehan the Leper: It's like a necklace or pendant.

Jehan mutters something and touches Muzio with the box.

It glows momentarily and Muzio recovers one wound.

Leaving him with 2.

Zita of Mercere: "Was that stuff before something you asked for, leper?"

Jehan the Leper: "No no, my friend Paul and I, we don't agree on how we should use these relics."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Relics?"

Jehan the Leper: "Yes, they were given to us by a knight on his deathbed."

"He said he was a Templar Knight."

Zita of Mercere: "Oh a relic. Hey, why don't we ever use the one we have back at the tomb, Lavinia?"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: (in Latin) "What did he mutter? I missed it."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "By a heretic!"

"Mercy!"

Jehan the Leper: "He had come to the leper colony in the middle of the night, driving a team of horses pulling a wagon."

Zita of Mercere: "He said a prayer to God, Aristocritus."

Jehan the Leper: "He was obviously in pain, so Paul immediately began to tend to him."

"He said that he was carrying something that could not fall into the wrong hands."

Orsu Paganacci: "Hmm."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "You should give that relic to the Church who can tend it properly. Relics are not toys to so casually slip through others' hands."

Zita of Mercere: "He helped Muzio, what's the harm?"

Celeste thinks about her mace, which contains a holy relic, and decides to not brag about it in the future

Jehan the Leper: "He said that the pope had been captured by devil worshipers, that's why they had moved to Avignon."

"He had been mortally wounded by agents of this devilish conspiracy, but he managed to overcome so many of them that I believe he must have been protected by the Virgin Mary herself."

"At least, that's what he told me."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "So you're his.. Apostle? Friend? Now?"

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "From what I've seen of the West, it's certainly plausible."

Jehan the Leper: "No, the knight died later that night, but not before entrusting Paul and I with spreading these relics to those who can do the most good with them."

"For in that wagon he carried treasures the likes I had never seen before."

"Gilded statues, gleaming swords, reliquaries of all shapes and sizes, strange rods, and even a lance."

Zita of Mercere: "Treasure, huh. What happened to it all, you both have it?"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Rods!"

Orsu Paganacci: rodz

the magic word

Jehan the Leper: "Oh no, Paul was visited by visions."

Zita of Mercere: "Calm down Lavinia, we're in public."

Lavinia of Jerbiton blushes

Jehan the Leper: "These visions told him where to take these relics."

"People who could protect them from this conspiracy within the Church and use them to protect the faithful."

"I know these visions were true, because God healed my scrofula through Paul," Jehan says while scratching a leprous sore on his leg.

Zita of Mercere: "Pity about the leprosy. Did he tell you about any of the other relics? Say, in large reliquaries."

I think I spelled that wrong

Reliqueries?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: reliquaries

Jehan the Leper: "Yes, he said that he was entrusted with but a small part of the whole."

"I can scarcely imagine how many more miraculous objects his friends must have had."

Zita of Mercere: I describe the reliquary back at Vardian's tomb and ask if that was one of the ones he handed out.

Jehan the Leper: He shakes his head.

"God is working in strange ways."

johns (GM): "Did you take a reliquary to the Church of St. Mary" (st. simon's home)

Jehan the Leper: "No, Paul told me to avoid churches with these relics in hand."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Why?"

Celeste: "Oh? Why?"

Zita of Mercere: Medieval beats.

Jehan the Leper: "It is possible that there were other knights and they were much less successful than the one I knew."

"There are agents of the," his voices lowers to a rattling whisper, "Devil among the ranks of the clergy."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I scoff.

Orsu Paganacci: devil priests ftw

Jehan the Leper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24QXGz0k7Ak

Zita of Mercere: "Okay, we'll watch out for them. Thanks."

(From Jehan the Leper): Did you want to ask him about the rod?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: according to the  canon  tribunal sourcebook it definitely happens all the time, including the pope. perhaps I shouuld be more open minded

"So you never saw, for instance, a rod inscribed with Hebrew of about yea height" I pantomime

Jehan the Leper: "Hebrew?"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Yes Snake. It's the language the Jews used

Zita of Mercere: Lol

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I try recreating the inscription in the dirt for his sake

Orsu Paganacci: lol

Jehan the Leper: "Ah, yes I recall seeing that on one of the relics, a silver rod."

Orsu Paganacci: noice

(From Aristocritus Bonisagi): AFK

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "We found it in a church, Jehan."

Jehan the Leper: "How could it have gotten there?"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Maybe Paul isn't giving you the full story."

Jehan the Leper: "We gave it to a beggar here in Rome who had been attacked by hoodlums on many occasions."

Zita of Mercere: "Was it so he could defend himself or something?"

Jehan the Leper: "I do not know. Paul never told me why we gave the relics to the people we did, only that they were deserving."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "What became of that beggar?"

Jehan the Leper: "I do not know."

"I have been spending my time as you see me, tending to those whose wrathful natures leads them to harm themselves."

Zita of Mercere: Someone direct him to saint simon and his pals

Lavinia of Jerbiton: well OK

was there anyone else who witnessed this mysterious templar knight

Jehan the Leper: "I can't say, but we were the only two at the leper colony on that night."

Any more questions for Jehan?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I suppose we should be happy there are so many divine pious people in our fair city :)

Case closed!

Jehan the Leper: Huzzah.

Jehan is going to stick around here while the rest of the faithful do their thing.

(To GM): did Venator's sense holy/unholy guy confirm the rod was a real holy thing?

(From Jehan the Leper): Yes it's Holy.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: well sources tell me the relic is Holy

so i'll still look up info in it/the inscription

but idk what else demands our pressing attention

Orsu Paganacci: the... library?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: yeah thats where I'll look it up

Zita of Mercere: I was thinking about borrowing some books to make the trip worthwhile.

Endrite (GM): How are you planning on getting into the library?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: talk to the priest

Endrite (GM): He locked the door.

Orsu Paganacci: strizzoll up

knock on the doorsnags

Lavinia of Jerbiton: lol

Endrite (GM): Ok.

Zita of Mercere: The window is always good.

(From Aristocritus Bonisagi): Back

Zita of Mercere: I just need someone to tell me which books are worth uh, borrowing.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: aristocritus here

Priest: "B.. be gone!"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: This is the quintessential RPG problem: the locked door

Orsu Paganacci: "All those idiots are gone now, father."

(aren't they?)

Priest: Nope.

Orsu Paganacci: oh lol

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "We're here to see Magister Schiavone!"

Priest: "Your tricks won't work on me."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: piss!

Priest: "You might have been able to fool the simple guards, but not me!"

"I've been to college!"

Orsu Paganacci: "So have I, which is why I want to come in."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "Hey, us too"

Orsu Paganacci: "I have a degree from the university of Bologna. I'm not one of these ignorant louts."

Priest: "Prove it!"

Zita of Mercere: I have an idea for getting into the library.

Muzio the Bastard: does it involve illegal forceful entry

Zita of Mercere: I wander around and pick a window at random.

Orsu Paganacci starts reciting out some fancy Artes Liberales shit he learned from his later classes at the uni.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: conjugate a full set of 5th declension nouns in Latin

Zita of Mercere: I have the Heroic virtue, Sure Traveller. If I choose where to go at random, I find the right way.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: we could just go in through that balcony.

Orsu Paganacci: you don't conjugate nouns!!!

owned!!!!!

Lavinia of Jerbiton: fuck! shit! damn!

Zita of Mercere: Romans go home.

Orsu Paganacci: we are home

Endrite (GM): Where do you want to go today, Zita?

Zita of Mercere: Their library.

Nevio: thats a cool virtue!

Zita of Mercere: It's only for heroic redcaps, which is why I made one.

Endrite (GM): Alright, what book is this in?

Zita of Mercere: HoH:TL

Mercere section, the virtue list at the bottom

Endrite (GM): Minor, Heroic

As long as you have traveled the route before, you

never become lost on a journey, and you may add +3 to

any Survival rolls based on finding your way through

unfamiliar terrain. You are never adversely affected by

weather, bad roads, or other negative travel conditions;

Endrite (GM): you can muddle through no matter what, making nearly

the same time as you would in ideal circumstances. If you

are leading other travelers you can speed the journey for

all of you by encouraging them to match your pace. This

does not apply when you do not control of the means of

travel (riding in a cart, traveling by ship); then you are at

Endrite (GM): the mercy of your driver.

You've never been to the library before.

I mean have you?

Zita of Mercere: I think I have it mixed up with something else, companions get a ton of virtues.

I have not, no.

Endrite (GM): Alright then.

Do you have another idea or should I let Orsu and Lavinia keep trying?

Zita of Mercere: Oh, Intuition is the virtue I'm thinking of, I'll check that it applies here.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I have an academic reputation, maybe he's heard of me directly?

Orsu Paganacci: Orsu actually does have the Baccalaureus virtue.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: RAW rep is 1 for baccaleureus and 3 for doctor

Zita of Mercere: Any choice where luck plays a major role, GM rolls a simple die. If 6+ I pick correctly.

Endrite (GM): Actually, he was impressed by your academic argument in the middle of a stressful situation/

He definitely believes that you have been to college.

Endrite (GM): I just told you, he believes you.

Orsu Paganacci: o i c

Endrite (GM): You can get in if you want.

Orsu Paganacci: ok

Orsu Paganacci goes in

Lavinia of Jerbiton: ill follow

Endrite (GM): Alright.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: idk if the rest are still working out 3 stooges schemes to break in

Endrite (GM): This is a pretty well stocked library, but there isn't much in the way of occult lore.

Zita of Mercere: I already left, and have a 50% chance for it to go wrong. Whoops.

Endrite (GM): You get +3 to Divine Lore rolls and +1 to Infernal Lore rolls while using the library.

Orsu Paganacci: cool

Lavinia of Jerbiton: should we roll or may we 'take 5'

Orsu Paganacci: watar we tryiung to find, again?

Endrite (GM): I think you just roll, but I'm not totally sure how library research works.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: ID Kabshiel

Orsu Paganacci: int?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i don't have divine lore or infernal lore.

Zita of Mercere: I guess I see my allies walk in. I made it into the library, everyone.

Orsu Paganacci:

Endrite (GM): Yeah roll + Intelligence + Divine/Infernal Lore + Library bonus

Orsu Paganacci: cool that's my roll

Endrite (GM): Ok.

Aristocritus Bonisagi:

(From Orsu Paganacci): no

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I'll look up the evil books then

Aristocritus Bonisagi: that's my roll, which is illegal since i don't even have the ability

Lavinia of Jerbiton:

=

& conf

Zita of Mercere: What does the most valuable book here appear to be? I have no point of reference for what makes a book valuable, so this is whatever looks the nicest.

Orsu Paganacci: "Hmm. It appears that Kabshiel was an angel of punishment employed by King Solomon to punish apostates."

(From Endrite (GM)): Kabshiel appears on a list of demon names. He punishes apostates and grants them false salvation.

Orsu Paganacci: "Apparently he lived in a rod and only high-ranking priests could release him."

"Hmm. Maybe we should have come here before going to the rabbi."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "This codex of Demons includes Kabshiel's name. It says he punishes apostates and grants them false salvation."

Orsu Paganacci: "Sorry, only priests DID release him. Still, maybe the rabbi isn't the man we want to have the rod."

Celeste: "We should go back to see him."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Can I research how a name can be associated with an Angel and a Demon

Endrite (GM): Well, it's obvious.

Someone has been lied to.

Orsu Paganacci: trickz

Aristocritus Bonisagi: this is why the reason aura was invented.

Orsu Paganacci: thank you based 4th ed

Lavinia of Jerbiton: So which book is lying then

Orsu Paganacci: "If I were to ask the Infernal book if it were lying..."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: does anything in this library look hermetic

Endrite (GM): You could ask the authors if they were alive.

Zita of Mercere: Perhaps they both are, and it's fae.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Or when Orsu says "angel of punishment" does he mean the class of demons from RoP:TI of that same name

Zita of Mercere: Just like in Myst, both books are false and the secret third book will be true.

Orsu Paganacci: "It's described in the context of King Solomon, so I wouldn't imagine it was demonic."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Who are the authors? If we research other works by the same people maybe we can figure out who is more reliable

Orsu Paganacci: "Actually, wait... I believe there  is  a text that describes Solomon commanding demons."

(From Zita of Mercere): Whatever the nicest looking book is, I take it and sneak out the window with it in a sack. The sack has a mythic pound symbol on it.

Orsu Paganacci: "But, for reasons that are likely obvious, it isn't in wide circulation."

(From Zita of Mercere): Some of the greatest redcaps were thieves, and this is her heroic legacy to steal anything not nailed down.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Does the Infernal book include Kabshiels' True Name?

Orsu Paganacci: "That seems to fit more with the creature you encountered."

Endrite (GM): No Lavinia.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: and any clues to what Form his demonic form may be aligned with

like auram ignem etc

Orsu Paganacci: satanam

Endrite (GM): He's linked with pain.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: OK.

Endrite (GM): So that would suggest Corpus.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: anything else worth investigating before we go back to the Rod?

Orsu Paganacci: Hmm. Probably not unless there are more deets on this dude.

Endrite (GM): I don't have any suggestions.

Orsu Paganacci: let's head back to the rabbi

Endrite (GM): Alright.

It's hasn't even been a day, so don't expect results.

Orsu Paganacci: oh, i thought we were going back to take the rod back. is that what you dudes want to do?

Archibald of Guernicus shrugs

Archibald of Guernicus: It's a demon rod and he's going to summon a demon.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: magic theory wise, if this was a preferred tool of Kabshiel, what are the odds it's still an arcane connection to him

Nevio: Oh, all Jews are demon summoners now?

Archibald of Guernicus: Now?

Endrite (GM): Pretty good Lavinia.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Nice

Wait, bad

since you can use arcane connections to demons to summon them and make them do shit for you

Archibald of Guernicus: You're perfectly free to do so, and be marched immediately.

Endrite (GM): Feel free to do some infernalism.

Alright so, you head back to the Ghetto.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: the funky funky ghetto

Lavinia of Jerbiton: im not clear on whether we "killed" kabshiel last time anyway

Endrite (GM): People are heading back home, but you can easily make it to the Rabbi's home.

(To Endrite): I lag behind a little bit cause I want to ask Jehan for descriptions of more of the relics in case I want to divine them later

Endrite (GM): How do you want to approach?

Archibald of Guernicus: A nonlethal takedown is always the most silent takedown.

(From Endrite (GM)): Jehan is staying with Paul.

(From Endrite (GM)): A safe distance away, of course.

Orsu Paganacci: stroll on up like normal and give a knock

Muzio the Bastard: summon with the rod

Orsu Paganacci: an orthodox jewish knock

Aristocritus Bonisagi: prod with the rod

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: You hear something in Hebrew.

Orsu Paganacci: can i hear it?

Archibald of Guernicus: He's casting a demon summoning spell. Watch out.

Orsu Paganacci: "It is Orsu, from earlier."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Ball of Abyssal flame first and ask questions later

Aristocritus Bonisagi: abyssal, huh.

you some kind of infernalist

Lavinia of Jerbiton: maybe that's my Dark Secret

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: He opens the door.

He looks much the same as the last time.

(From Orsu Paganacci): "No, certainly not. I have bad news. It turns out our higher ups didn't want us leaving the rod after all. I'd prefer to leave it with you for study, but it will be my hide if I don't bring it back immediately. I'll compensate you for your trouble, of course..."

Archibald of Guernicus: So are we taking the rod back then?

Orsu Paganacci speaks Jewishly with the rabbi.

Orsu Paganacci: that's the plan, yeah

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: He turns his back to you and goes to a different room.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: If you steal his stuff while he can't see you doing it it isn't a crime.

Orsu Paganacci: step in unless that's insanely inappropriate

(From Orsu Paganacci): "Well, like I said, it'll be my hide, otherwise."

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: Were you born in a barn?

Lavinia of Jerbiton: our Lord and Savior was, you going to judge him for that

(From Orsu Paganacci): "Oh, I'm sorry."

Celeste: "What she said."

Orsu Paganacci turns to close the door behind him and gestures for the others to follow up to the door.

Celeste: im in.

(From Orsu Paganacci): "Questioning has a limit with my master, I'm afraid."

Aristocritus Bonisagi: welcome.

Archibald of Guernicus: I'll head in

Can our newfound Tytalus actually fit through the door

Aristocritus Bonisagi: he's back at the tomb probably

(From Orsu Paganacci): can i make a theology or divine lore roll here. that' sounds fishy

Muzio the Bastard: oh if you stopped back at the tomb i could go

with my good pal archie

Archibald of Guernicus: I assume we did since I'm here again

Aristocritus Bonisagi: you're recovering from your decapitation!

Malachiasz of Tytalus: but im not!

Aristocritus Bonisagi: welcome.

(From Orsu Paganacci): i just have regular theology!!!

Malachiasz of Tytalus: I attempt to figure out the finer mechanics of people-sized entryways

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: You hear some footsteps.

From inside the house.

(From Orsu Paganacci): "Ah, perhaps Yaweh is more tolerant of questioning than the Christian god!"

(From Orsu Paganacci): "We are to have faith!"

(From Orsu Paganacci): I don't hear the footsteps because I have insanely bad hearing.

(From Orsu Paganacci): unless you meant our footsteps

(From Orsu Paganacci): "True."

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: Alright, do you want to do anything before he comes back?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i wait patiently.

(From Orsu Paganacci): I was going to close the door behind me and follow him unless he got surly.

Archibald of Guernicus: Perhaps we should prebuff just in case.

(From Orsu Paganacci): cool

Archibald of Guernicus: I do not want to get nailed to the floor again so I cast wizards sidestep.

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: Ok, anyone else?

Going once.

Going twice.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i'll float.

Celeste: I have no prebuffs.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: i

become a grog

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i mean, not really float, but i'll cast it and keep it concentrated

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: The ceiling isn't that high.

Raffanio: ello. lavinia went home.

Archibald of Guernicus: Lavinia will enter a combat scenario one day.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i'll cast Eyes of the Eons to determine how old the rabbi's house is

Raffanio: Virgil practiced Pacifist Magic, which is what makes Virgillian Magic the superior tradition

Aristocritus Bonisagi: To within 10%.

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: Like 50 years old.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: thank you

Archibald of Guernicus: That's precisely why Lavinia needs to enter combat, Johns.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: just another practical Terram spell

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: Alright, Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim comes out with the rod.

He hands it to you, Orsu, and then says something.

Orsu Paganacci: what's he say??!?!

power word: jewish wrath

(From Orsu Paganacci): "He heh. Thank you, rabbi. Will this be enough?" Offers him half an MP.

Archibald of Guernicus: Phew.

(From Orsu Paganacci): "I do want to apologize for taking up your time."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Right, let's be off then."

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: He accepts Orsu's money.

(From Orsu Paganacci): "Well, until we can't solve it, sure."

Orsu Paganacci thanks the rabbi and leaves with the rod.

Rabbi Aharon ben Efrayim: Egress with the rod.

Rod with the rod.

Endrite (GM): Alright, you have the rod back!

And now you know what it does!

Orsu Paganacci: we did it, guys!!!!

Archibald of Guernicus: I'm glad we avoided a demon being summoned.

johns: Should we investigate how to trigger it so we can PWN some faithless fucktards??

Endrite (GM): Now you just need a BMX bike.

johns: what should we do about paul tossing relics everywhere

Aristocritus Bonisagi: why contain it?

Endrite (GM): Past tense.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: it's cool.

Archibald of Guernicus: Let it spill out into the churches

Endrite (GM): He already tossed relics everywhere, Jehan said they were done.

johns: They seemed to be avoiding the churches

and were tossing around at least one arcane connection to a demon to random people. well maybe it's not our problem

Aristocritus Bonisagi: with this rod i will destroy the Pope forever and bring the west back into the arms of the mother church

Endrite (GM): Too bad the Pope is in Avignon.

Orsu Paganacci: mm haha

johns: Oh, I can track Paul's movements using the A/C

Once a day

Orsu Paganacci: we should figure how to brutally murk paul and steal all of his infernal goodies

Endrite (GM): You sure can.

Archibald of Guernicus: We should track down the templar legacy and sell it for a huge profit.

johns: the templars are demon worshippers, no?

Orsu Paganacci: they're all dead so no!!!

Endrite (GM): Well, that's what the French said.

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh right, the assassins were divine.

johns: lol

Endrite (GM): But what with this demonic conspiracy who can know for sure?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: it's canon in the book that the templars are not demonic

johns: and yet it's canon in Darklands that they are

peculiar..

Archibald of Guernicus: Interesting OOC fact in a book not written by the GM.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: d*mn..

Malachiasz of Tytalus: regardless, their great treasures should be back in the hands of those who can properly use them

which is to say the highest paying nobleman

Archibald of Guernicus: We should leave them out as bait to find diabolists to kill.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: i am interested in the one that makes you hit yourself

johns: if only we had someone with Templar lore around to consult

Archibald of Guernicus: Do we?

johns: masini was a templar but it's a  secret

Orsu Paganacci: http://www.marriedtothesea.com/012710/stop-hitting-yourself.gif

Endrite (GM): If you want to figure out how to use the Rod then you could just Investigate it.

Using a season.

Orsu Paganacci: yes

Endrite (GM): Or you could just remember how it got activated the first time you saw it.

Archibald of Guernicus: I don't want to ever remember how it was activated.

Endrite (GM): Well that's on you.

7 XP by the way.

For this adventure.

Orsu Paganacci: hooray!!!

johns: Excellent

Archibald of Guernicus: Out of curiosity, was he going to summon it

Aristocritus Bonisagi: hang on

Endrite (GM): You should ask him.

Archibald of Guernicus: I can't as I don't speak hebrew.

(From Orsu Paganacci): btw orsu is going to spend a few hours every other day scoping that jewess and will try to visit her covertly/seduce her when her man isn't around.

(To Endrite): Does Masini know anything about this alleged templar treasury of relics

Aristocritus Bonisagi: you can learn Hebrew in just a few short seasons

malachiasz has quite a reputation, and we're inviting him to live as a member of the covenant. he should explain his story, first

(From Endrite (GM)): Maybe, how high up was he?

(To Endrite): Just a Sargeant

johns: i want to hear the Malachiasz Lore

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i'm spending my adventure xp on malachiasz lore

(From Orsu Paganacci): by using the cover of night, the husband's actual absence, and waiting for a good opportunity. he also has 4 stealth, which isn't great, but ok

(From Endrite (GM)): He knows they had quite a large treasury and stuff they brought back from the Holy Land.

(From Endrite (GM)): So it's possible.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: he cannot accurately tell the events of his past due to his delusions

Celeste: thats cool

Aristocritus Bonisagi: hmm

it was a whisper to me so it's not in the log.

johns: someone should get that InME spell to probe minds so we can dig through Paul's head and get all the treasure

Aristocritus Bonisagi: which i guess makes the gossip even more realistic

(From Orsu Paganacci): mmm haha

Archibald of Guernicus: The spell will be reflected and we are forced to look into our own minds.

general crit is: roll damage twice and take higher roll

Endrite (GM): Ok.

We don't have a listing for fists.

Endrite (GM): Alright, three weeks after the adventure Orsu gets caught sleeping with a Jew's wife and gets beaten up by her husband.

Celeste: loolll

Archibald of Guernicus: Lmfao

johns: lol

Orsu Paganacci: le good shit

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "The story is, his master fell into some very unsavory practices, and had to be killed by his own apprentice in the end."

johns: stumped by the cuck

Endrite (GM): He gets thrown out of the ghetto and told that he'll be killed if he ever comes back.

Orsu Paganacci: mm haha

Aristocritus Bonisagi: jewish law: harsh, but fair

Celeste: ruining society.

Archibald of Guernicus: "He killed his own master?"

johns: im glad baron bonghits wasnt around here to see that

anything left with today's adventure?

Endrite (GM): Nope, unless you want to spend some time researching how to activate it or do some tests if you remember how it's activated.

Orsu Paganacci: i gotta go, but thanks for running, endrite.

i may have aleseta research it.

Endrite (GM): Ok, we can talk about it in the thread.

johns: next week, Fall 1328, tribunal time

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Right, but... it sounds like he was doing the right thing, you know?"

Archibald of Guernicus: How long does it take to do work to improve your lab. I know it's a season but does that mean you can't do anything else during the season? Or the usual ten days away is fine lab rule.

Endrite (GM): It's lab work.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i'll investigate the thing if aleseta doesn't

Archibald of Guernicus: In that case I spend the remainder of my season sealing the entrane to my lab with a stone wall.

Endrite (GM): I don't think you need to spend a season on that.

Archibald of Guernicus: It's adding a flaw, so I assumed it took the whole season.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: some additions take a season and some don't, i think

Archibald of Guernicus: If it doesn't, I'll add the virtue I wanted in the same season as well.

johns: which virtue?

Archibald of Guernicus: Lesser Expansion, improves general quality and adds a +1 bonus of my choosing. I choose vim.

johns: that seems right

Archibald of Guernicus: Increases upkeep but hell I got us a lot of mythic pounds decapitating a demon.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: does your lab have an air supply

johns: Air

?

Archibald of Guernicus: Yeah, what are you on about.

johns: Are you suggesting it is possible for a vacuum to exist. Get real

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i mean uhhhh

fuck

Archibald of Guernicus: Hey idiot. Magi with 0 in aurum says what.

Endrite (GM): I'm not sure that expansion is possible.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: show us the map

crusade...

Archibald of Guernicus: The expansion is just buying better equipment, and since it has a mythic pounds cost it should be fine.

Endrite (GM): Ok.

Archibald of Guernicus: It says the extent is increased, so maybe it also needs a bit more space. There's room though if I dig diagonally.

johns (GM): Unless it increases your Size stat it shouldn't imo

Malachiasz of Tytalus: i am debating digging out a lab or living in that unused area outside the covenant entrance

Archibald of Guernicus: It doesn't actually require a larger size, no.

johns (GM): take the Store Room. the unused area has no aura

Archibald of Guernicus: There's plenty of aura room tbh, a perdo terram specialist could build his own lab that way.

Next to Prudenzio's

Endrite (GM): The aura is the green circle.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: alright lavinias lab can be the new warehouse

johns (GM): now that we have a Pit Digger and an Architect I feel we really should be excavating a better layout by now

>:|

Aristocritus Bonisagi: all of the storage rooms are occupied now.

johns (GM): our hallways our now littered with dry goods and barrels and whatnot

epic fire hazard

Archibald of Guernicus: The architect even lives above the pit digger, they can set up a pipe to communicate.

Celeste: i guess that unused room outside of the aura can be a store room. maybe someone can ward it.

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh, sorry.

The pit digger is above Proclus

He's going to wreck his lab.

Endrite (GM): Just don't dig any pits in the lab.

Malachiasz of Tytalus: dont worry, now when i open my pit to hell we get twice the benefit

johns (GM): okay I scaled it so you can measure space better now using the Ruler tool

Proclus. When are you going to build us a better covenant.

Aristocritus Bonisagi: we could just move that ward out into the hallway

so the unused room is behind it

johns (GM): ill make a new ward

Proclus of Rome: After the Tribunal.

Archibald of Guernicus: Woah. Hey. That's current year.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: penetration on that ward is 70

Aristocritus Bonisagi: i was thinking up here

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Alright

It's just an alarm ward that takes a password

Proclus of Rome: That's a high pen.

Celeste: vardians tomb is very secure.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: ease factor is 15, i have penetration of 8 which I halved, and augustan wards get a pen multiplier of x5

Aristocritus Bonisagi: what happens if someone doesn't have the password

Archibald of Guernicus: Hedge wizardry happens.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: a bunch of bells hanging around inside the rite start flying around ringing for Diameter duration

Aristocritus Bonisagi: nice

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Ill post some stuff about the tribunal session when i'm not on my travel laptop

worth thinking about if you want to trade spell texts, vis, scheme, or whatever

Endrite (GM): Well, see ya'll later.
