[Master] Kaz and Guy will be late
[Master] they are having Monitor issues
[mikE] bummer
[mikE] they messed up a wish the other night
[mikE] i suppose they haven't had the bob wish experience.
[Master] I did not get the chance to track down my memory issue, I keep changing the file but it is not reading the changes
[Master] grins
[Master] what did they do?
[mikE] they didn't wish for a specific staff we needed, just the staff, so the djini just conjured up a stick.

[mikE] j0 bibo
[BiBo!!!] j0
[Master] How is life there in Radiation Land?
[BiBo!!!] no zombies roaming the streets yet
[Master] post I saw today that is aprapo of how I feel
[Master] Some people come into our lives & leave footprints on our hearts. Others come into our lives & make us want to leave footprints on their face.
[Master] horrible employee at work
[Master] too bad this is not a kill everything dungeon
[mikE] lol. tomorrow i get to have lunch with the inlaws
[BiBo!!!] lol
[Master] off to get drinks then will be back
[Master] Lisa should be in
[Master] then we can start
[Master] Marco you can catch Mike up to where you are in the Investigation
[Master] I know Lisa read the chat log
[mikE] funny thing is, i don't like mother, but she's not bad, the sister that i dated on the other hand is a freaking nutter now
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[mikE] and her husband is seriously wacked in the head
[mikE] so where are we bibo?
[BiBo!!!] um.... good question
[BiBo!!!] lets see
[BiBo!!!] a gnome was murdered, so scarlet made copious inappropriate puns
[BiBo!!!] he had some colored yarn in his pocket
[BiBo!!!] another head was smashed, it was owned by a reporter
[BiBo!!!] apparently there was a shouting match with some priest before that but I was late and missed it
[mikE] a yam.
[BiBo!!!] y a r n
[BiBo!!!] the gnome had no id, so we arent sure who he is or what he had to do with the crime but the city watch is ready to dump him in the river
[mikE] ah. the r and n look like m
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[BiBo!!!] I guessed as much
[BiBo!!!] anyways, we found out from the reporter where he got his bust
[BiBo!!!] so I think we are going there next
[BiBo!!!] oh and something about the priests in this town being ranked in terms of royalty
[Master] The Priest before hand was Prince Tapio, one of the leaders of the Council of Churches, the group that is the reason why the Administrative Council wanted to hire an outside group to investigate this
[Master] and no to that it is the Suomi religion that ranks them by Priest, Duke, etc
[BiBo!!!] okay, that
[BiBo!!!] are we summed up enough bob?
[Master] and I thought you were going to go to the art shop that had the first bust broken and the house right down the street from there that was broken into
[BiBo!!!] I miss anything key?
[Master] but that is a good summary
[BiBo!!!] we were? I thought we were going to something brothers' or whatever they were called
[Master] very basic order of events, 1 bust broken at shop, 1 bust broken in Dr. home near shop, he also had a bust broken in his surgery, that is why you were hired
[Master] then after that a murdered gnome and another broken bust here at the reporters house
[BiBo!!!] so this is the 4th busted bust?
[Master] yes
[Master] in three separate areas of the city
[BiBo!!!] we must be running out of busts, so finding the remaining ones should be the priority
[BiBo!!!] so the guys who sold them should be next
[Master] nods which is why I thought you were going to the art dealer
[BiBo!!!] they can point us to the remaining busts
[BiBo!!!] yeah, isnt that what I said?
[Master] where the first bust was broken
[BiBo!!!] oh, didnt know one was broken there
[Master] the reporter got his bust from somewhere different
[mikE] i say we buy one and kill the guy when he shows up to break it
[BiBo!!!] I imagine they are all sold out, but we can try
[Master] and that is a unique strategy that I am sure Lisa will appreciate
[BiBo!!!] if buying them is out, we could aqure the remaining ones
[BiBo!!!] I am gonna assume there arent too many more of them as it seems only rich people obsessed with this founding lady would have them
[Master] a reasonable guess
[BiBo!!!] so shouldnt be too hard to round them up
[Master] so any other questions for Mr. Harker?
[BiBo!!!] "What's your favorite color?"
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Do you like waffles?"
[Master] grins
[Master] Imari have anything?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Do they sell syrup in this godforsaken town?"
[Master] nope
[Master] going to have to try farther north for that, into Gold Hills or Terraguard
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "WHYYYYYYYYYYYY??!?!?!" ::shakes fist in the sky:::
[Master] Blackwater has lots of evergreen forests, not sugar maples
[Master] Drillian is full of swamps
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] They dont have trade caravans?
[Master] there might be some in Carnak, but the barbarian tribes do not deal with boiling down syrup
[Master] there is a trade in luxury goods like that but your best bet for that is Rivers Bend
[mikE] i bet there's one crazy old coot who does
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] Next mission: Go to Rivers Bend
[mikE] "I do not know why you want this syrup so much. It has rotten away all of Crazy Old Bear's teeth."
[Master] grins
[Master] it is a useful replacement for honey
[Master] but there are lots of bees around so not much need for it here
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] yeah, but honey on waffles isnt the same
[Master] fried chicken
[Master] is a southern thing
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] honey on fried chicken?
[Master] on waffles
[Master] so no other questions?
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] So I can have the watch throw his body in the river now?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] not really, main concern now is finding the remaining busts, so art shop it is
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Burn it first. Then alright."
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] no no no fire
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] fires are a bad thing, no pyres or the like around here
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] they do some of that over on the south shore
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] but not in the city
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "We went over this. Do you want to spread the plagues?"
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] you said he did not have the plague
[mikE] "Fire ruins the organs."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "No i didnt, and whether he has one or not doesnt matter because hes dead, its whether the rest of us get it."
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] he is not part of your investigation though right?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Well, I suppose he might be. Is there a way of finding out who he was?"
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] sure, you could pay one of many churches to cast a spell to find out who he is
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] which church do you like?
[mikE] i think i can speak with dead
[mikE] yup. once per day
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((sbarro is filing bankruptcy?!)
Lisa has joined the game on Fri Apr 15 19:18:59 EDT 2011
Lisa is receiving the map Scholars_Street...
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((BiBo is sad))
Lisa has received the map Scholars_Street.
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] (hello Lisa)
[mikE] hey lisa
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] well, make with the death talk if you can do it then
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] how many questions can you ask?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] hey lisa
[Lisa] hello - just reading what you did so far
[mikE] enough
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] nothing yet
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] about to talk to dead, gotta come up with questions as I believe you get a limited number of them
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] time limit too
[Lisa] Imari has speak with dead?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] would make sense seeing as how obsessed with death she is
[mikE] yup. eat with dead, too
[Lisa] and we did not use it on priestess with dragon? sigh
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] would be more surprising if she DIDNT get the spell
[Lisa] well then cast away
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] well, we know its available now, we can fully question all of our murder victims
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] so we need to know who this person is obviously
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] who killed him (if he knows, but doubtful as that would make things too easy)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] what weapon they used, and what room of the mansion he was killed in
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (he could describe him perhaps?)
[mikE] snicker
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((I think bob mentioned that people were having a hard time describing the guy, I am guessing he has some sort of magic helping him with that. there is a cloak that thieves prize that make people unable to describe you later))
[mikE] and if we have leftover, what's up with the yam?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] yeah, that would be good
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] though it is still yarn
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] any other ideas for questions?
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] so do you all know what your limits are?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] short answers, yes and no are best, but they can say a few words
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] unless they are assholes and want to respond in riddles
[mikE] i cast it special and can have full conversations with them
[Branwyn (Lisa)] we will be talking to a gnome
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] good point
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] so your speak with undead is different from the normal spell?
[mikE] sure
[mikE] we like to have conversation over dinner
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] is it actually or are you just bullshitting now? cuz the normal version will let us ask 2 questions at your level
[mikE] yeah, just bullshit
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] so what spell is Imari casting
[mikE] speak with ded
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] so, who are you and who killed you then?
[Master] cast
[Master] then ask your first question Imari
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] we agreed on those 2? changes? suggestions?
[Master] Mike?
[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.
[mikE] what bibo said
[mikE] Who killed you?
[Master] Imari XP award: 500. Next level in 21894.
[Master] Scarlet XP award: 500. Next level in 1407.
[Master] Ok,
[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.
[Dead Gnome (Master)] rew pugoiul xviglrick
[mikE] seriously?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((either he is fucking with us, that is an anagram of something, or someone has a retarded name))
[Dead Gnome (Master)] Or he is speaking Gnome and you do not know that language
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] he cant speak common?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] how can he live in a town and not be able to speak common?
[Dead Gnome (Master)] how many people live someplace and do not speak the language? hello Miami!
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] Well at least hes dead now
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] we can take comfort in that
[mikE] stupid bastaed
Branwyn (Lisa) coughs, "Maybe we should just go over to the art dealer's now?"
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] If he wasnt dead already, I would kill him
[mikE] lets ask the second question
[mikE] and find someone who can tell us what the hell they mean
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] he probably said I dont know what you are asking
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (can you cast comprehend languages? I did not learn that today)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] a name shouldnt be affected by language
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] and if he doesnt understand common, he probably didnt understand what you said
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] so he couldnt answer
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Which means he probably isn't that important around here - so who he is probably does not matter much)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and who killed him - was he stabbed in the front or in the back?)
[Dead Gnome (Master)] Throat was slashed
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ask his name I guess, but dont expect much
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so probably from the back and he doesn't know who did it)
[mikE] what is your name?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (though it would be diificult I imagine for a man of average size to slash a little gnome's throat at any angle)
[Dead Gnome (Master)] Kaz and Guy are on the way in, but they are under a tornado watch so if they leave quickly it might mean their house is flying through the air
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] sweet
[Dead Gnome (Master)] borwaro peitro warnoip
[mikE] that sounds more like a name
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] maybe
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] well, write those two things down I guess, and maybe if we can be bothered we can get them translated. probably will have the case solved first though
Guy has joined the game on Fri Apr 15 19:54:37 EDT 2011
Guy is receiving the map Scholars_Street...
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (can we ask him to spell those names?)
Guy has received the map Scholars_Street.
[Dead Gnome (Master)] you would need to cast another spell
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I think we are out of questions now
[Dead Gnome (Master)] Welcome Guy
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hello Guy! :)
[Guy] howdy all
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I swear, this chat window is the BIGGEST pain to navigate
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] hey guy
[Guy] kaz is making her way online slowly
[Master] Ok, so no more question at this location? moving over to the gallery over on Kennington Road in the Old city?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (do we want top carry dead gnome around so we can try again later?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Bob - you mean to art dealer?)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] art gallery
[Master] Lestrade says you can leave him here and the night soil workers will pick him up and toss him in the river
[Master] and yes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (was the bust on a high shelf when it was taken? was that discussed last week?)
[Master] no not discussed or asked
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] suppose it can be asked now
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Scarlet modified: Notes - CHANGED.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am just having a problem with the physically bending down over a gnome to slash his throat.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Unless Indigo did it
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] they arent THAT short, like 4 feet tall or something
[Master] the bust was on the mantle piece
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] stoop a little but not increadibly unthinkable
[Guy] so lisa what did you think of the stupid prince lol
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not impossible - but if you were 2 feet taller it just seems odd - but what do I know? let's move on)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I would have smacked you upside the head for such disrespect)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] lol
[Guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((hey his ego annoyed me))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (who says he does not deserve his red carpet - he was once a lowly 1st level and now he can kill you with a word - maybe some respect is due)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (again - what do I know? onward and downward)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] in 5 more levels you will be the one with the ego and some weak henchman will mouth off to you and you will be all like what the F man?
[Master (to GM only)] Morse Hudson moved 9'04".
[mikE] dunno about a word, but i ca kill you with a knife
[Master] Time of Day: 08:00 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 08:15 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] anyone can do that
[Master] So you leave the Scholars Street quarter and venture over to the Old City
[Master] Lestrade takes you to Tower Square, the art gallery of Morse Hudson is here on the corner of Kennington Road and the square
[Master] ?
[mikE] so lets go in
[mikE] and ask about the busts of whatever
[Morse Hudson (Master)] Hello there,
[Morse Hudson (Master)] what can I help you with today?
[mikE] looks at kristelle
[Morse Hudson (Master)] you look like a rough and tumble sort, maybe you are interested in some of our hand carved pieces?
Kaz has joined the game on Fri Apr 15 20:09:59 EDT 2011

[mikE] i wonder how much he'd buy trinkets of partik for
Kaz has received the map Old_City.
[Kaz] Hey all
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hello! :)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "We are looking for replicas. Specifically plaster replicas of (whatshername)"
Dee has joined the game on Fri Apr 15 20:11:06 EDT 2011
Dee is receiving the map Old_City...
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] hey kaz. and dee?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] hey you two
Dee has received the map Old_City.
[Morse Hudson (Master)] Dee is another Klooge GM
[mikE] i hear you blew the wish on tuesday
[mikE] and used teeth. =P
[Morse Hudson (Master)] Oh I do not have any of those left, that was a horrible thing
[Morse Hudson (Master)] it was I who sold Dr. Barnicot his two statues. Disgraceful, sir! A Nihilist plot -- that's what I make it. No one but an anarchist would go about breaking statues. Red republicans -- that's what I call 'em. Who did I get the statues from? I don't see what that has to do with it. Well, if you really want to know, I got them from Gelder & Co., in the South End. They are a well-known house in the trade, and have been this twenty years. How many had I? Three -- two and one are three -- two of Dr. Barnicot's, and one smashed in broad daylight on my own counter.
[Morse Hudson (Master)] Horrible mess
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "So Gelder and Co would be where we would go to find more then?"
[Morse Hudson (Master)] I suppose so Miss
[Morse Hudson (Master)] but I can offer you other Litizia items if you are a collector
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Just of those busts in particular"
[Morse Hudson (Master)] I have several paintings
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] other items?
[Morse Hudson (Master)] no, I can try to bring one in for you though
[Morse Hudson (Master)] ring back around this afternoon and I will see what I can do for you
[mikE] "Let's go."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He smashed the bust in broad daylight in your shop and no one saw him or her do this?
[Morse Hudson (Master)] hear hear
[Morse Hudson (Master)] you come in and ask all these questions and do not even buy anything?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Okay, that sounds good. We will try with these other Gelder folk in the mean time."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry pulling up old chat log - did anyone talk to him at all on this?)
[Morse Hudson (Master)] now you tell me you are goign to Gelder behind my back
[Morse Hudson (Master)] (no first time anyone has asked anything)
[Morse Hudson (Master)] what sort of people are you?
[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.
[Kristelle (Kaz)] The sort who are trying to find the lunatic who is smashing other people's busts.
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Actually I was interested in a painting ofLitizia
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Well, its not behind your back, but time is an issue so the quicker we can find more of these busts the better."
[Morse Hudson (Master)] are you trying to find out who? She just said she was interested in buying one fo the busts
[Morse Hudson (Master)] points at Scarlett
[Morse Hudson (Master)] what sort of scam are you trying to pull?
[Morse Hudson (Master)] and you my good man
[Morse Hudson (Master)] I have these small wood cuts of her over here
[Morse Hudson (Master)] leading Foriso over to a rack
[Morse Hudson (Master)] small easily portable for your well traveled ways
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) heads to the rack and examines the wood cuts
[mikE] "You don't have what we want. We want the busts."
[Morse Hudson (Master)] and I said to ring around this afternoon and I will see if I can get another for you
[Morse Hudson (Master)] I had three and sold two
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "And if you can get some, we will take all you get. Even if we find others with Gelder and Co so dont worry."
[Morse Hudson (Master)] scowls at Scarlet
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to Master only)] do they all look alike?
[Morse Hudson (Master) (to Guy only)] no all done by different artists
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "The issue is time, so we must do what we can to get them quickly."
[Morse Hudson (Master)] what is your great hurry with finding a bust of Letizia?
[Morse Hudson (Master)] your friend here is looking over some nice portraits
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Do you not think you can get one quickly?"
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to Master only)] are the woods basically the same?
[Morse Hudson (Master)] I will go as soon as I can
[Morse Hudson (Master) (to Guy only)] yes all on basic sanded wood, nothing fancy
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to Master only)] im looking to see if anything might be hidden on or in them
[Morse Hudson (Master) (to Guy only)] you would have to really examine one, and he is not about to let you take one off the rack to do that
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "We are just concerned that preciousish art works are being destroyed and wish to preserve them before its too late."
[Morse Hudson (Master)] pish posh, that was a simple plaster bust, simply a new technique is all, it is the subject that is important I am sure
[Morse Hudson (Master)] some rebulican plot to over throw any last vestige of those who do not beleive that Sancturary is the ultimate form of government
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Well, all the same, I would like to collect the remaining plaster ones for now. If other types of art are damaged then we will do what we can about those."
[Morse Hudson (Master)] they are plotting to end all of our livelyhoods
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Very likely."
[Morse Hudson (Master)] every square inch of the city will be converted to a church
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Which is why we must make a stand and stop this."
[Morse Hudson (Master)] we will all be forced to be servants of the Priests
[Morse Hudson (Master)] yes, exactly
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "And you can start by finding those plaster busts."
[Morse Hudson (Master)] we must stand up to them
[Morse Hudson (Master)] very well I will
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Good show."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "You are a true patriot."
[Morse Hudson (Master)] right you are governor
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] How much for one of these wood cuts?
[Morse Hudson (Master)] oh for you good people,
[Morse Hudson (Master)] I woudl let one go for only 2 gold pieces
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "When the culprit is found, we will let it be known that you helped to save the city from this menace."
[Morse Hudson (Master)] thank you miss, that is most gracious of you, really is
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((did anyone show him the yarn?))
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] hmm I might be willing to go 25 silver for one
[Morse Hudson (Master)] Oh my good sir you drive a hard bargain,
[Morse Hudson (Master)] sold
[Morse Hudson (Master)] pulls it off the rack
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((LMAO!!!))
[Morse Hudson (Master)] wraps it up with paper
[Morse Hudson (Master)] takes foriso's money
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) hands him the 25 silver
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((it's probably worth 3 copper))
[Morse Hudson (Master)] hands over the package
[Morse Hudson (Master)] any other questions for him? he wants to lock up shop so he can go investigate getting more busts for you
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((well that was interesting lol))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Godspeed finding the busts my good man. We will be back this afternoon."
[Morse Hudson (Master)] I will lookforward to it
[Master] and you go out to the Sqaure to organize
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ::heads out to godfry & co::
[Master] Kristelle, Indigo, Scarlet, Miranda, Clerk Lestrade, Foriso Fairhand, Imari and Branwyn moved 62'00".
[Master] Morse Hudson moved 6'06".
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Coins
[Master] just for future bargaining
[Master] 2 Gold Pieces is 20 silver pieces
[Master] so when Foriso offers 25% more than his original offer
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] yeah, wtf man?
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((DOH! Too confusing.))
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((i was thinkingh copper and said silver ))
[Master] grins
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] 1 plat -> 10 gold -> 100 silver -> 1000 copper right? or do you use electrum in the middle there?
[Master] the link has all the currency exchanges Marco
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Coins
[Master] you are off
[Master] but you are off to Gelder and Company or to the other art dealer who sold busts? which was Hrding Brothers
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] link doesnt show anything
[mikE] in the end it's cheapest if we kill the store guy and take what we want with his money
[Master] Harding Brothers is in the City Center, Gelder and Company is off in the South End
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to Master only)] i want to appraise my wood cut lol
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Screw it. Let's nuke the city, after Miranda gets her training.))
[Master (to Guy only)] ok, make tha troll
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to GM only)] Foriso Fairhand: Appraising check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!
Dee has left the game on Fri Apr 15 20:34:56 EDT 2011
[Master (to Guy only)] it is worth about 12 silver pieces
[Master] pick your next place to visit will brb
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] Alright, should we split up between the two to get to them faster?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I figure the longer we take the more likely it will be that they get broken before we get there
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((We can quickly go to whichever is closer on the way to the further one))
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] closest place is Dr Barnicot
[Master] then would be Harding Brothers
[Master] then would be Gelder and Company
[mikE] any one really
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] well, I think it is more productive to go to places that might give us leads on non broken busts than investigating places where the busts have already been broken
[mikE] ok, then let's go to the nearest not broken one
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (barnicot doesn't have any more busts)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] so skip the doc I say
[Master] so that would be Harding Brothers
[Master] sorry Door brb
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] thats where we head then
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] guess I will throw somethign on the stove and go to the bathroom while we wait, brb
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and so when we buy these busts - we tell the shopkeeper where we are staying so when bust smasher comes he will fall into our carefully laden trap at the Inn this evening?)
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (how will bust smasher know where to find all the busts after we take them all? or does that matter after we find out their secret?)
[Master] sorry for the delays, the guy is here to fix the AC
[Master] so arriving at Harding Brothers
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((real men dont need AC lol))
[Clerk (Master)] Hello there, thank you for visiting Harding Brothers, how can I help you, (said in a very slow manner like he is reciting something memorized)
[Clerk (Master)] (tell Nyrma and my Computer that Guy)
[Master] Time of Day: 09:00 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((hey i said nothing about women not needing AC lol))
[Kristelle (Kaz)] (( ... ))
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((not in this house, buddy.))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good morning. We were told that you might have some plaster busts of Letizia. Is that true?
[mikE] nah. sweaty men don't need ac.
[mikE] smart men love it.
[mikE] and smell good
[Clerk (Master)] I have some busts of Letizia but they are not plaster, would you like to have a look at them?
[Clerk (Master)] (speaking clearly and slowly)
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((we want to see Letizia's bust lol))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And what are your busts made of?
[Kristelle (Kaz)] (( *head in hands* ))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((hopefully not silicon))
[Clerk (Master)] Well we have one of marble and one of ... aa.. some stone...
[Clerk (Master)] When my master comes in he can tell you what it is
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Are you all right? You do not sound well
[Clerk (Master)] looks around,
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Do you ever have plaster busts of Letizia?
[Clerk (Master)] I think I remember something like that, but the Master woudl know for sure
[Clerk (Master)] glances around again, no one is supposed to be in here, I forgot to lock the door again
[Clerk (Master)] he comes in after Noon Bell
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And where is you Master? May we speak to him?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] lol
[Clerk (Master)] (clock is right)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are not open for business?
[mikE] is he sweating?
[mikE] pupils dialated?
[mikE] licking his lips alot?
[Clerk (Master)] no, we are not open
[mikE] perhaps making afirmative head motions as he says negative responses?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe we should come back later then
[Clerk (Master)] no to mike,
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Actually, I was wondering if you kept records of people you sell items to."
[Clerk (Master)] I am sure the Master does
[Clerk (Master)] he will be in this afternoon
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Then we will return when he does. Noonish you say?"
[Clerk (Master)] yes, he is here shortly after the Noon Bells
[Clerk (Master)] that is when I am supposed to unlock the doors
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "What may I ask are you doing here so early then?"
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Unless I am mistaken, it only chimed nine bells a moment ago."
[Clerk (Master)] I was sleeping
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "At work?"
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Do you live here?"
[Clerk (Master)] looks around, nods
Kristelle (Kaz) casually pulls out the piece of yarn and starts running it through her fingers, watching the clerk through her eyelashes.
[Clerk (Master)] (no reaction)
[Master] Time of Day: 09:15 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Ah, I see. I dont suppose you might let us peek at the records now? It would save both us and your master some time."
[Clerk (Master)] shakes his head, oh no, I can not let you in there,
Kristelle (Kaz) bunches the yarn up in her hand.
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Perhaps we should return at Noon Bell.
[Clerk (Master)] the Master will be here after Noon Bells, please come back then
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Very well." ::sighs:: "Until then."
Kristelle (Kaz) heads for the door and holds it open for the group.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ::heads out to golden and Co.::
[Kristelle (Kaz)] You'd better lock this up behind us," she calls back to the clerk.
[Master] Sorry guys, be back in a bit have to go help
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It might take a bit for Bob
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] probably
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sparks flying out of his breaker box
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] nice
[Branwyn (Lisa)] hopefully they will not burn their house down
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] last time I had an ac repair man work on my place, thats what happened
[Branwyn (Lisa)] that is scary
[mikE] seriously.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] yeah
[mikE] i can't watch game of thrones if bob's house burns down
[mikE] i don't have hbo
[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] lol
[Branwyn (Lisa)] well f Bob's house burns down maybe he will chip in and help you get hbo for 3 months
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I would think he would have other things to spend money on
[Branwyn (Lisa)] nah! he really wants to watch game of thrones too
[Kristelle (Kaz)]
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] what is game of thrones anyway?
[mikE] a book they're turning mini series
[Branwyn (Lisa)] only a mini series? I thought they were doing a full 12 episode season :(
[mikE] a full season lasts 24 episodes
[mikE] we're not bloody brits
[Branwyn (Lisa)] not on hbo it doesn't
[Branwyn (Lisa)] hbo - 12 shows
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] because you pay more for less
[Branwyn (Lisa)] but shows are a gazillion times better than on regular tv
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] lies and propaganda
[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] supernatural, not on hbo. does it kick more ass than anything else on hbo? yes
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] the only show I ever bothered to pirate from hbo was true blood and that wasnt really anything spectacular
[Branwyn (Lisa)] have you ever watched anything on hbo?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] the vampire diaries was more interesting
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] comparing vampire series to vampire series for even comparison
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] of course buffy and/or angel were better than either of those
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] but they arent currently running so I didnt count them
[Branwyn (Lisa)] most vampire series totally suck - literally and figuratively
[mikE] i like blood ties
[Branwyn (Lisa)] vampires do not sparkle
[mikE] it's a chick PI and henry the viii bastard son vampire
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] well, they only sparkle in the one movie
[mikE] similar to supernatural i suppose
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] cool
[mikE] team angel: because we don't sparkle
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Vampires suck
[Branwyn (Lisa)] but they are not nice friendly people
[Kristelle (Kaz)] I am team: throw them all off a cliff
[Branwyn (Lisa)] any depiction of them as sweet adorable things has to go
[Kristelle (Kaz)] They're also not super-strong
[Kristelle (Kaz)] And they're not pale because they don't get sun. They're pale because they are dead, and their skin is rotting.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] sure they are. they always have been super strong
[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] super strength is nothing new for vamps
[mikE] nope. drac was.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] hell even dnd vamps have super strength
[mikE] and the paleness is indeed lack of sun
[Branwyn (Lisa)] it is lack of blood
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] well, paleness varies from legend to legend
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] some look pale only when they are hungry
[Branwyn (Lisa)] they flesh out a bit after feeding
[Kristelle (Kaz)] They have not always had super strength. The original vampire myths go way back before Dracula.
[mikE] some vampire legends have them flush with feedings, yes
[mikE] but they still are pale from lack of sun. any animal's color pales with lack of natural light
[Kristelle (Kaz)] or because they are dead and rotting.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] if they were rotting, they wouldnt live forever
[Branwyn (Lisa)] any living animal - these guys are dead - body chemistry doesn't function normally
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] true enough
[Branwyn (Lisa)] live forever and never have to pull over on long road trips to go to the bathroom
[Branwyn (Lisa)] not a bad deal
[mikE] i'd say if a vamp could go sun bathing their skin would stay a normal color
[mikE] their eyes retian color, depending on legend i suppose, so their skin pigments should still work as well
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hollywood Reporter gave game of thrones great review - 10 episodes
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] lol. I am just picturing a vampire who desperately wants a tan so sits at a window poking his hand out for a second at a time. ::sizzle:: "ow!" ::sizzle:: "OOOW"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] many nights on bob's couch
[Branwyn (Lisa)] LOL
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] all day long to get a tanned hand
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] bak
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] nice tan dude, what about the rest of you?
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] LOL
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] fuck you I am going to drink your blood you dark skinned bastard!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Is house still standing?
[Master] ok, so house is still in one piece
[Branwyn (Lisa)] good news
[Kristelle (Kaz)] yay
[Master] bad news is the comnpressor on one unit is fried
[Master] fixed the other unit
[Branwyn (Lisa)] picturing you living at Mike's paying for his hbo
[Master] grins, yeah I read that
[Master] and yes 10 episodes for this season, promise of more seasons to come if this is sucessful
[Master] so you are ready to go head over to Gelder adn Company over in the South End to talk to someone there?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] sure
[Master] Time of Day: 10:00 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 11:00 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 11:15 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 11:30 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Master] fightign your way through the crowds,
[Master] and past the Sanctuary Quarter
[Master] you make it to Gelder and Company a warehouse just off the docks, the smell of rotting fish is everywhere
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] yuck
[Master] you open the front door and see a large open space set up with several artists working
[Master] and a large blonde nordic man walking around barking orders
[Gelder (Master)] YOU NO NO NO NOT LIKE THAT, sweeps the brush from his hand LIKE THIS JUST LITTLE DAB DAB DAB
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((i want to yeall FOR ODIN lol))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((sweet. an art factory))
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((brb))
[Kaz] I am away from the keyboard.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ::walks in:: "Excuse me."
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] you only need 2 dabs not three
[Gelder (Master)] WHO ARE YOU? ARE YOU HERE TO BUY? OR JUST TO LOOK AT MY MASTER PIECES
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "That depends entirely on if you have what we are looking for or not."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "You are familiar with a set of plaster busts of lacivia the first?"
[Gelder (Master)] WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR
[Gelder (Master)] AHHH YES MY FINE GNOME EXPERIMENT
[Gelder (Master)] YOU WANT TO SEE THE ORIGINAL?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "gnome experiment?"
[Gelder (Master)] and leads you over to a small side area near the front,
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Actually I was more interested in the replicas."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "You made them then?"
[Gelder (Master)] opens up a glass cabinet and a fine marble bust of Letizia is standign there
[Gelder (Master)] YES YES
[Gelder (Master)] WE ARE TRYIGN TO PERFECT A WAY OF DUPLICATING GREAT WORKS OF ART SO EVERYONE CAN ENJOY THEM
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Excellent piece. I can see why you would wish to make copies."
[Gelder (Master)] THIS ONE HERE IS OVER 100 YEARS OLD
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "How many did you make may I ask?"
[Gelder (Master)] I COULD GET 1,000 GOLD PIECES FOR THIS IN ONE SALE
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (does he have to yell or is the factory just really loud?)
[Gelder (Master)] BUT IF MY LITTLE GNOMES MAKE THIS WORK THEN I CAN SELL A THOUSAND OF THEM
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Really? How much would the copies be worth?"
[Gelder (Master)] (he just talks really loud, big booming blonde norse man)
[Gelder (Master)] EACH COPY COULD SELL FOR A SILVER AND I WOULD MAKE MONEY
[Gelder (Master)] LAUGHS
[Gelder (Master)] A REVOLUTION IN ART
[Gelder (Master)] WITH NO GREEDY MAGES INVOLVED
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) walks over and carefully examines the original
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Fantastic idea. You are truely a genius"
[Gelder (Master)] OR STICK IN THE MUD PRIESTS
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "So this is just an experiment then. I assume you only made a limited number of these busts so far?"
[Gelder (Master)] YAH WE MADE SIX OF THOSE BUSTS BEFORE MY GNOMES RAN OFF
[mikE] so this is the hanibal lechter of art oficianadoes
[Gelder (Master)] grumbles
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Six you say? Why did the gnomes run off?"
[mikE] like when the flautist missed a note, and he ate him
[Gelder (Master)] NOW I NEED TO FIND OTHER GNOMES TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS AGAIN
[mikE] this guy is resentful of cheap imitations and is destroying them and killing the gnomes making them
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] wait you said your gnomes ran off?
[Gelder (Master)] YAH BEEPO AND PIETRO TWO GOOD GNOMES
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Do they speak common by any chance?"
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] I think we may have found one of them
[Gelder (Master)] NAH NAH THEY ARE ARTISTS THEY DO WHAT THEY WNAT
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Of course. Then we may have found one murdered this morning."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ::describes the gnome:: "Does that sound like one of them?"
[Gelder (Master)] MURDERED!!!! THAT IS NOT GOOD
[Gelder (Master)] THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT BE ONE OF THEM
[Gelder (Master)] BUT IT SOUNDS LIKES LOTS OF GNOMES TOO
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "It does doesnt it. Well, do you know where the gnomes would be found if they were to still be alive?"
[Gelder (Master)] THEY SHOULD BE WORKING!!!!
[Gelder (Master)] RAN AWAY UNGRATEFUL LUMPS
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) goes back to examining the bust
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "So I guess that is a no. How about those six busts. Do you know who has them?"
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "And was there anyone other than you or these 2 gnomes who were working on them?"
[Gelder (Master)] LET ME CHECK THE RECORDS
[Gelder (Master)] NO IT WAS A SPECIAL PROJECT
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Thankyou that would be greatly appreciated."
[Gelder (Master)] he goes over to a set of books
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to Master only)] anything special about the original bust?
[Gelder (Master)] I SOLD THREE TO MORSE HUDSON OVER ON KENNINGTON ROAD UP IN THE OLD CITY, AND THREE TO THE HARDING BROTHERS ON HIGH STREET, THEY ARE IN THE CITY CENTER,
[Gelder (Master) (to Guy only)] it is obviusly a fine piece of art, very well done, it looks authentic
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] alright (the 3 hudson ones are broken and 1 harding bros is broken am I right?))
[Gelder (Master)] (yes)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "That is very helpful. Thankyou. Now these gnomes, they didnt speak common so I assume you had some means of communicateing with them?"
[Gelder (Master)] I WOULD DRAW PICTURES THEY DID GOOD WORK
[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.
[Kristelle (Kaz)] sorry, back
[Gelder (Master)] THEY SPOKE A BIT
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Ah. I dont suppose you know anyone who speaks gnome then."
Kristelle (Kaz) pulls out the yarn again and pulls it through her fingers absently as she watches Gelder.
[Gelder (Master)] NO NO GNOMES AROUDN HERE
[Gelder (Master)] HEY, THAT IS ONE OF MY TIMERS
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Timer?
[Gelder (Master)] REACHES OVER TO PLUCK IT FROM KRISTELLE
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Timers?"
Kristelle (Kaz) closes her hand around the yarn.
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Explain, please.
[Gelder (Master)] HEY THAT IS MINE
[Gelder (Master)] GIVE IT HERE
[Kristelle (Kaz)] I found it on a dead gnome. I'd like to know what it is.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "We found it on the body of the dead gnome. I suppose that confirms that he was one of your two men."
[Gelder (Master)] YES THAT WOULD BE
[Gelder (Master)] I TIE ANOTHER PIECE ON FOR EACH PIECE THAT IS COMPLETED
[Gelder (Master)] IT TIMES OUT HOW MANY THEY DO IN A WEEK
[Kristelle (Kaz)] And this timer was for the Letizia busts?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "so you just use it to keep records then."
[Gelder (Master)] IT IS JUST A TIMER, IT WORKS FOR EVERYTHING NOT JUST BUSTS
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Is there anything unusual about this one in particular?"
[Gelder (Master)] NO BUT IT IS MINE
[Gelder (Master)] I WANT IT BACK
Kristelle (Kaz) raises an eyebrow at Gelder, then continues. "Why would the gnome have it if it was for your recordkeeping?"
[mikE] is it like his time card?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] thats what i was thinking
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] a record of how many he made and therefore how much he should get paid
[Gelder (Master)] HE NEEDS TO SHOW ME TO GET PAID, YAH
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Ahh.
[Kristelle (Kaz)] How many pieces does this say he made?
Kristelle (Kaz) holds the yarn out to Gelder.
[Gelder (Master)] TAKES IT
[Gelder (Master)] (anyone remember exactly the description? grins)
[Gelder (Master)] COLOR IS FOR TYPE
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] braided colored yarn
[Gelder (Master)] LENGTH IS FOR PIECES
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((three different coloured pieces of yarn braided together))
[Gelder (Master)] blue yellow and red
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "So what types would these color represent?"
[Gelder (Master)] THAT MEANS HE DID ONE METAL PIECE AND TWO PAINTED PIECES
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "And these pieces would be here then?"
[Gelder (Master)] MAYBE
[Gelder (Master)] I WOUDL HAVE TO CHECK THE RECORDS YAH
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Could we get a quick peek at them?"
[Gelder (Master)] he wanders over to a set of books
[Gelder (Master)] opening pages
[Gelder (Master)] closing
[Gelder (Master)] opening
[Gelder (Master)] I DO NOT KNOW WHAT PAINTINGS THIS ONE IS FOR
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "No record?"
[Gelder (Master)] NOT OF WHAT THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR IS
[Gelder (Master)] BUT THE GOLD, THAT IS THIS NECKLACE RIGHT HERE
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Is that odd?"
[Gelder (Master)] points to something in the book with a scribble
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Can you show us the necklace?
[Gelder (Master)] that was a necklace sold to the Duke Nabkov
[Gelder (Master)] THE DUKE NABKOV BOUGHT THAT PEIECE FROM US
[Gelder (Master)] SHE BOUHT IT TWO WEEKS AGO
[mikE] brb
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Was it a very expensive piece?
[Gelder (Master)] A LEETLE BIT
[Gelder (Master)] 5,000 GOLD PIECES
[Gelder (Master)] WE DO GOOD WORK
Kristelle (Kaz) nods.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "What was it made of?"
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Did you inspect the piece when the Duke came to get it?
[Gelder (Master)] GOLD
[Gelder (Master)] INSPECT HOW? squints at Kristelle YOU THINK I CHEAT SOME ONE?
[Kristelle (Kaz)] No, I think someone might have tried to cheat the Duke, though.
[Gelder (Master)] SHE LEFT HAPPY
Kristelle (Kaz) nods again.
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to Master only)] im going to carefully and very subtlely check for traps and alarms on the case and the building
[Gelder (Master) (to Guy only)] obvious ones near the cases up front where the bust was and the record books no check needed
[Master] Time of Day: 11:45 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 12:00 PM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "How are these timers verified? Do you have some way of making sure that every piece people make here is properly logged?"
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Can you tell by that timer which gnome we found?
[Gelder (Master)] ONLY I HAVE PIECES FOR TIMERS
[Gelder (Master)] IF WORKERS TRADE PIECES I NOT CARE
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "So if someone shows you something they made, then you give them a piece of the timer?"
[Gelder (Master)] NODS
[Gelder (Master)] YOU ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Can you tell which gnome that timer belonged to?
[Gelder (Master)] COULD BE EITHER ONE
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Did the gnomes just paint the busts, or did they cast the plaster, too?
[Gelder (Master)] NO NO PAINTING JUST BLACK PLASTER BUSTS
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Did they have a place they were staying that you know of?"
[Gelder (Master)] THEY MUST SLEEP SOMEWHERE BUT I NOT CARE
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Would one of the workers know maybe?"
[Gelder (Master)] shrugs
[Gelder (Master)] ANYONE KNOW WHERE BEEPO LIVES?
[Gelder (Master)] a couple of non descript grunts of disent
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((how about harpo or groucho?))
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((/facepalm))
[mikE] back
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((we need to know who got the last bust, right?))
[mikE] i think it's beebo
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Alright. Well, thankyou for your time. It is about time we get going. Good luck with your plaster experiment."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((theres 2 left))
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((and he doesn't know who bought them?))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((harding brothers would have sold them, so we gotta go there, its noon now))
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Thank you for your time.
[Gelder (Master)] THANK YOU COME BACK TO BUY NEXT TIME
Kristelle (Kaz) heads for the door.
[Gelder (Master)] YOU STOP THAT, DAB DAB DAB NOT STROKES
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Of course."
[Master] and back out in the street with your ears ringing just a bit
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Wow.
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Well, now. I'd love to know how well the Duke knows her jewelry, and have Foriso take a good, hard look at her new necklace.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Alright, so 2 busts left. Harding brothers should hopefully know where they are. I am guessing the other gnome hid that necklace in one of the busts."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((woah... earthquake))
[Master] big one?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((yeah))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((lot of big ones lately))
[Master] Time of Day: 12:15 PM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 12:30 PM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 12:45 PM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Master] so you make it back to Harding Brothers
[Clerk (Master)] Hello there, thank you for visiting Harding Brothers, how can I help you, (said in a very slow manner like he is reciting something memorized)
[Clerk (Master)] then he looks startled
[Clerk (Master)] oh
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Hello again. Is the Master in?"
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Hello, we were here earlier.
[Clerk (Master)] yes
[Clerk (Master)] yes
[Clerk (Master)] just a minute please
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Thank you.
[Harding (Master)] Hello there, what can I help you look for today?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "We were interested in some plaster busts of litzia the first that you recently aquired."
[Harding (Master)] well not recently but yes I have had some of them
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Do you have any left?"
[Harding (Master)] I purchased three of them from Gelder adn Compnay over in the South End
[Harding (Master)] hmm no I do not
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Do you happen to have a record of who you sold them to?"
[Harding (Master)] I suppose I could try to get another for you if it is that important for your collection
[Harding (Master)] well I am sure I have that record
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Well, those three in particular are what we are interested in."
[Harding (Master)] but who are you and why should I be giving you my sellers secrets?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "We are investigating a murder and we believe it may be connected to those three busts."
[Harding (Master)] a murder you say,
[Harding (Master)] how dreadful
[Harding (Master)] why do you think it has to do with these busts?
[Harding (Master)] did someone kill someone because they woudl not sell?
[Harding (Master)] it is too bad, I would have charged more if I thought they were going to be that valuable
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Absolutely. We believe the culprit may be seeking these busts, as the one victim may have been killed over one."
[Harding (Master)] tsk tsk
[Harding (Master)] and you think this murder would kill to own all three of them?
[Kristelle (Kaz)] No, we think the murderer would kill to destroy all three of them.
[Harding (Master)] destroy them? that is a queer act
[Kristelle (Kaz)] It is, indeed.
[Kristelle (Kaz)] We'd like to prevent any further deaths. Would you please consult your records and tell us who the buyers are?
[Harding (Master)] very well, most peculiar
[Harding (Master)] let us see, there is a Mr Brown at the Laburnum Lodge over in the Arena District, he is the butler for the Mages guild don't you know
[Harding (Master)] and there is Mr Harker, a good man, trying some strange broadsheet buisness but that is not for eveyrone
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Ah yes, we are familiar with him."
[Harding (Master)] and then there is a Mr. Sandeford of Lower Grove road in the Sanctuary Quarter
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Thank you for your assistance. I fear we shall have to hurry now, though.
[Harding (Master)] those are the three
[Harding (Master)] very well you will bring me news ?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Of course."
[Master] Time of Day: 01:00 PM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "We will be in touch. Farewell."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ::heads out::
[Master] and you are back on Baker street in the City Center
[Master] only a few blocks from your Inn
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Okay, so we have 2 busts left. Should we go together or split up and try to get to them at the same time?"
[Master] I think this is a matter to discuss on how to handle them, are you going to barge in and buy them out from under them?
[Master] or simply stake out the places?
[Master] or?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "well, it is probably best that we get our hands on the busts so we can set up a trap on our terms I would think."
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((or just smash them ourselves lol))
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Well, it may be best to buy them.))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((foriso could steal one.))
[Master] not that I do not think it is an interesting plan and a definate twist on the story
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((while we buy the other))
[mikE] i don't think splitting up is ever a good idea
[Master] but how would the persno who is smashign them know you had bought the bust and it would not be there at the person's place?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (maybe foriso can trade his little wood carving for a bust)
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((make a public show of it.))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((put it in the broadsheet))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((say that the busts are cursed and we plan to transport them out of town in a day or two))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((for further study))
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((excellent idea. Even if he doesn't read the broadsheet, he'll hear the rumours.))
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((brb))
[Master] ok
[Master] so the plan is to visit each place and try to buy the bust from them,
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] yep
[Master] ok
[Master] we do not have time to pull that off tonight
[Master] so I will have that set up for first thing next week
[Master] and we will see what happens
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] okies, then we are done for tonight I guess?

[Master] grins
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] can I train in advance?

[Master] but one never knows
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] cant say I was training and when I level it just finally made sense?
[Master] no, that would be the rolemaster system
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] will be annoying to level just after we are done training and not get the chance to train new spells for the next few adventures
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] since 3rd level spells are big change
[Master] nods, but I doubt that will happen
[Master] we need to see if Branwyn can train you
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] okies
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] time for lunch and chores!
[Master] have a great day
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] you too
