HF 014 Rune and Hank

[6/3/16, 9:48:37 PM] Jamaros: Ok, so you guys head out, I'd say it'd be just over an hour to get there.

[6/3/16, 9:49:05 PM] Hank: Ok

[6/3/16, 9:49:31 PM] Jamaros: You approach and it's much like the booking office, small and kind of ramshackle.

[6/3/16, 9:49:38 PM] Jamaros: But, nowhere near as busy.

[6/3/16, 9:49:46 PM] Rune: Rune has brought her own kitty.

[6/3/16, 9:50:00 PM] Jamaros: Rune's kitty goes mew.

[6/3/16, 9:50:05 PM] Rune: ... at least I haven't eaten anything.

[6/3/16, 9:50:12 PM] Jamaros: And looks terribly uninterested.

[6/3/16, 9:50:48 PM] Jamaros: As you approach the desk, you find a very short half-orc woman, old and looking like she's seen better days.

[6/3/16, 9:51:07 PM] Jamaros: There is also a tray of cookies on the desk with a sign saying "PLEASE TAKE JUST ONE"

[6/3/16, 9:51:24 PM] Rune: We'd like to see a corpse. Well, several.

[6/3/16, 9:51:31 PM] Rune: Rune looks to Hank.

[6/3/16, 9:51:54 PM] Jamaros: The woman looks up at the two of you.

[6/3/16, 9:51:54 PM] Hank: The ones from the pale man killings in particular

[6/3/16, 9:52:04 PM] Hank: I pull my badge out

[6/3/16, 9:52:54 PM] Jamaros: The woman nods.  "Right, follow me."

[6/3/16, 9:53:30 PM] Jamaros: She begins leading you down a hallway when a young elven man stop you.  He's dressed in an all-white uniform and seems to be more of a nurse than a guard.

[6/3/16, 9:53:38 PM] Jamaros: Man: "I'm sorry, can I--"

[6/3/16, 9:54:09 PM] Jamaros: Woman: "This officer needs to pull some bodies.  Here, you take them.  I ain't spending my last few minutes on this."

[6/3/16, 9:54:46 PM] Rune: Last few minutes?

[6/3/16, 9:54:58 PM] Jamaros: Woman: "My shift.  It's over in five minutes."

[6/3/16, 9:55:05 PM] Hank: The ones from the pale man killings.

[6/3/16, 9:55:13 PM] Jamaros: Man: "Um, I'm sorry what...oh."

[6/3/16, 9:55:14 PM] Rune: Oh, oh good.

[6/3/16, 9:55:21 PM] Jamaros: Man: "Why...why those ones?"

[6/3/16, 9:56:09 PM] Hank: I need to see them there should not be a problem with that.

[6/3/16, 9:56:42 PM] Rune: Please.

[6/3/16, 9:57:01 PM] Jamaros: Man: "No...no problem.  They're just...super creepy.  Let me see where we kept them."

[6/3/16, 9:57:51 PM] Hank: Is it just how drained they are or something else that makes them creepy?

[6/3/16, 9:58:09 PM] Jamaros: Man: "Do they need anything else.  Uh, here I think it is."

[6/3/16, 9:59:07 PM] Rune: Rune tries not to breathe her nose.

[6/3/16, 10:00:00 PM] Jamaros: You enter a small-ish room with rows and rows of drawers on the other end.  The man pulls out a key.  "So, uh...why are you looking into this?  No more murders like this, right?"

[6/3/16, 10:00:12 PM] Rune: No.

[6/3/16, 10:00:43 PM] Hank: No just some loose ends with the case that we are trying to figure out.

[6/3/16, 10:01:01 PM] Jamaros: Man: "Oh...good..."

[6/3/16, 10:01:06 PM] Jamaros: He hands you the key.

[6/3/16, 10:01:20 PM] Jamaros: Man: "Um...you can do it if you want.  I'd...really rather not."

[6/3/16, 10:01:39 PM] Hank: That's fine you can go we will be fine here

[6/3/16, 10:02:01 PM] Jamaros: Man: "You got it."

[6/3/16, 10:02:11 PM] Jamaros: He pretty much runs out the door.

[6/3/16, 10:03:06 PM] Hank: Any labels on the drawers?

[6/3/16, 10:03:20 PM] Jamaros: There are.  It doesn't take you long to find Taeral's name.

[6/3/16, 10:03:34 PM] Jamaros: And the ones from that particular case are marked as such.

[6/3/16, 10:03:50 PM] Hank: Are you ready TaerAl? Or do you not want to see?

[6/3/16, 10:04:10 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "I'd rather not look, if that's ok.  Seeing my own corpse is...a bit much."

[6/3/16, 10:04:11 PM] Rune: Rune pats him reassuringly.

[6/3/16, 10:04:22 PM] Rune: It's all right, Hank and I will look.

[6/3/16, 10:04:30 PM] Rune: Rune keeps him carefully turned away.

[6/3/16, 10:04:35 PM] Hank: I will open the drawer

[6/3/16, 10:05:30 PM] Jamaros: You slide out a chamber.  It's like a really long drawer, but with cooling runes on the sides.  A mystical version of every police procedural morgue.

[6/3/16, 10:05:33 PM] Jamaros: It's also empty.

[6/3/16, 10:06:12 PM] Hank: I will open every drawer marked with the case

[6/3/16, 10:06:35 PM] Jamaros: Empty.  Empty.  Empty.  All empty.

[6/3/16, 10:06:50 PM] Rune: Rune turns Taeral back around.

[6/3/16, 10:06:52 PM] Rune: They're all gone.

[6/3/16, 10:07:02 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "...this is very, very bad."

[6/3/16, 10:07:09 PM] Hank: I will check one not marked with the case

[6/3/16, 10:07:22 PM] Jamaros: Body.  Horribly burned and disgusting.

[6/3/16, 10:07:42 PM] Hank: That is not good

[6/3/16, 10:08:01 PM] Jamaros: Roll me perception checks.

[6/3/16, 10:08:22 PM] Rune: Rune turns away from the burned one, gagging.

[6/3/16, 10:09:04 PM] Jamaros: The room was cold to begin with...but now it's getting colder...and colder.

[6/3/16, 10:09:12 PM] Hank: Let's find that guy and see when he last saw the corpses

[6/3/16, 10:09:17 PM] Jamaros: The cooling mist is growing heavier and heavier

[6/3/16, 10:09:49 PM] Rune: Rune shudders.

[6/3/16, 10:09:53 PM] Rune: Why is it so cold in here?

[6/3/16, 10:10:27 PM] Hank: Not sure maybe all the drawers being open

[6/3/16, 10:10:39 PM] Jamaros: The mist is now pouring out of the floor.

[6/3/16, 10:10:49 PM] Hank: Let's leave

[6/3/16, 10:11:01 PM] Jamaros: You try the door...and find it locked.

[6/3/16, 10:11:09 PM] Jamaros: Roll me CON checks.

[6/3/16, 10:11:49 PM] Rune: I TOLD YOU SOMETHING HORRIBLE WOULD COME!

[6/3/16, 10:12:05 PM] Jamaros: Hank manages to save, but Rune, the cold is getting to you, and you take four points of cold damage.

[6/3/16, 10:12:23 PM] Hank: I will try to kick the door open

[6/3/16, 10:12:35 PM] Jamaros: Roll me a strength check.

[6/3/16, 10:13:15 PM] Jamaros: The door feels a lot more reinforced than it should.  Like something was holding the door shut.

[6/3/16, 10:13:24 PM] Hank: Well it was just dead bodies I didn't think it would be dangerous

[6/3/16, 10:13:34 PM] Jamaros: But, it still wasn't strong enough, and on the third slam, BOOM!  Hank smash his way out.

[6/3/16, 10:14:06 PM] Hank: I will make sure rune gets out as well

[6/3/16, 10:14:39 PM] Jamaros: You both make it out.  Rune's a little blue, but should recover with no permanent damage.

[6/3/16, 10:14:49 PM] Jamaros: The orderlie is gone."

[6/3/16, 10:16:15 PM] Hank: Are there any files or anything logs of the bodies ? Not in that room

[6/3/16, 10:16:20 PM] Rune: Rune is always a little blue!

[6/3/16, 10:16:37 PM] Rune: Rune shivers and clings a bit, then steadies herself on Taeral.

[6/3/16, 10:16:41 PM] Rune: What WAS that?

[6/3/16, 10:16:48 PM] Rune: And where ARE they all?

[6/3/16, 10:17:04 PM] Rune: And why would fae even WANT corpses? It's not like they're hard to get.

[6/3/16, 10:17:14 PM] Hank: Not good the door was strengthened something did not want us leaving that room

[6/3/16, 10:17:36 PM] Hank: Maybe it is something with the draining process

[6/3/16, 10:18:18 PM] Hank: (Any paperwork on the corpses in this building?)

[6/3/16, 10:18:50 PM] Jamaros: ((Where are you looking?))

[6/3/16, 10:18:56 PM] Rune: Ugh.

[6/3/16, 10:19:02 PM] Rune: Taeral, what do you think?

[6/3/16, 10:19:25 PM] Hank: I will check that room first making sure the door stays open

[6/3/16, 10:19:37 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "I don't know why they would take the bodies, but, that elven fellow seemed to know something."

[6/3/16, 10:19:44 PM] Jamaros: Roll investigation.

[6/3/16, 10:20:29 PM] Rune: Rune tries to help.

[6/3/16, 10:21:11 PM] Jamaros: Hank searches through some paper on the desk which is now starting to freeze over.  Nothing on where the bodies should be.

[6/3/16, 10:22:07 PM] Jamaros: But Rune sees that a) the runes cooling the bodies were clearly tampered with to set off a freeze spell and b) that where some of the bodies used to be, now lay dead leaves.

[6/3/16, 10:22:57 PM] Rune: ... the cooling runes were tampered with and now look at those dead leaves.

[6/3/16, 10:23:06 PM] Rune: Rune picks up one of the leaves.

[6/3/16, 10:23:19 PM] Hank: What about them?

[6/3/16, 10:23:33 PM] Hank: Hank will pick one up and look at it

[6/3/16, 10:23:45 PM] Rune: Well they're not supposed to be leaves, they're supposed to be bodies. Dead ones.

[6/3/16, 10:24:06 PM] Rune: .... the leaves look odd somehow.

[6/3/16, 10:24:06 PM] Hank: Right so why the leaves

[6/3/16, 10:24:24 PM] Hank: How so?

[6/3/16, 10:26:55 PM] Rune: They're not right.

[6/3/16, 10:27:02 PM] Rune: The color and the shape isn't right.

[6/3/16, 10:27:25 PM] Hank: So they are fake leaves?

[6/3/16, 10:27:36 PM] Jamaros: As Rune is holding up one of the leaves...it opens an eye.

[6/3/16, 10:27:54 PM] Jamaros: The Leaf, incidentally, forms a perfect triangle.

[6/3/16, 10:28:02 PM] Rune: Rune yelps and almost drops it.

[6/3/16, 10:28:08 PM] Rune: H... hello?

[6/3/16, 10:28:16 PM] Jamaros: Leaf: "Well now, this is interesting."

[6/3/16, 10:29:02 PM] Rune: Who are you?

[6/3/16, 10:29:06 PM] Hank: What is interesting? Other than a talking leaf

[6/3/16, 10:29:46 PM] Jamaros: Leaf: "What's interesting is you two, Green Bean.  And do I see a yellow ray of sun, there?"

[6/3/16, 10:30:13 PM] Hank: Who are you?

[6/3/16, 10:30:28 PM] Rune: I don't know what you're talking about.

[6/3/16, 10:30:59 PM] Jamaros: Leaf: "No, you wouldn't, would you?  Oh, to be so young again.  So innocent.  Well...not innocent, but oh youth."

[6/3/16, 10:31:03 PM] Rune: Why did you want bodies?

[6/3/16, 10:31:50 PM] Hank: And who was the orderly was he working with you?

[6/3/16, 10:33:06 PM] Jamaros: Leaf: "Wow, so many questions.  You two are some regular sleuths.  Yes, big guy, he does.  Not that you'll find him now.  Or my other agents roaming around your buddies."

[6/3/16, 10:33:25 PM] Jamaros: Leaf: "And as for why I need those bodies.  Well, why spoil a good surprise, Sunshine?"

[6/3/16, 10:33:36 PM] Rune: I hate yellow.

[6/3/16, 10:33:44 PM] Hank: What do you mean around our friends?

[6/3/16, 10:34:27 PM] Rune: .... this is terribly awkward. Are you the Marquis?

[6/3/16, 10:35:10 PM] Jamaros: Leaf: "Aw, what gave me away?  Was it my delightful voice?  You know, my soprano is favored on 12 different worlds."

[6/3/16, 10:35:36 PM] Rune: I'd like to hear it.

[6/3/16, 10:36:32 PM] Jamaros: Leaf: "Oh, you'll get the chance, some day.  Maybe I'll come by wearing my new elf suit.  It's a little paler now, but I think you'll recognize it."

[6/3/16, 10:36:38 PM] Jamaros: He looks at Taeral as he says that.

[6/3/16, 10:37:01 PM] Rune: Oh, that's all you wanted it for?

[6/3/16, 10:37:10 PM] Rune: Isn't it all... dead?

[6/3/16, 10:37:39 PM] Hank: Seems like a lot of work for a body

[6/3/16, 10:37:43 PM] Jamaros: Leaf: "I learn to make do.  But that's not all I want it for."

[6/3/16, 10:37:55 PM] Jamaros: Leaf: "Who said anything about one?"

[6/3/16, 10:38:06 PM] Rune: There were a bunch of them.

[6/3/16, 10:38:18 PM] Rune: But you could go to any graveyard and get a bunch more. I don't know what all the fuss is about.

[6/3/16, 10:38:32 PM] Rune: Taeral wasn't using his anymore anyway.

[6/3/16, 10:39:13 PM] Hank: Why are you talking to us? You did just try to kill us.

[6/3/16, 10:39:38 PM] Jamaros: Leaf: "Meh, boredom.  Also, keeps you back in the room.  Wanna see a magic trick?"

[6/3/16, 10:39:53 PM] Jamaros: The pieces of the door that were smashed open, reform and trap you in again.

[6/3/16, 10:40:15 PM] Rune: He can smash doors all day.

[6/3/16, 10:40:28 PM] Hank: Since you are going to kill us did you know my father?

[6/3/16, 10:40:31 PM] Rune: He's got loads of muscles.

[6/3/16, 10:41:16 PM] Jamaros: Leaf: "Oh yeah.  Your dad's over hear kid.  Wanna hear my impression of him?"

[6/3/16, 10:41:28 PM] Rune: Let me guess, screams.

[6/3/16, 10:41:36 PM] Hank: I will go to bust down the door again

[6/3/16, 10:41:38 PM] Rune: No wonder you're bored. You're bor\*ing.\*

[6/3/16, 10:42:14 PM] Hank: Rune crush the leaf

[6/3/16, 10:42:23 PM] Jamaros: Leaf: "BORING AM I!  WHY Y--"

[6/3/16, 10:42:42 PM] Rune: Extremely.

[6/3/16, 10:42:45 PM] Jamaros: His last cry is muffled by the crushing.

[6/3/16, 10:42:47 PM] Rune: Rune does.

[6/3/16, 10:44:14 PM] Jamaros: The cold mist, surprisingly, doesn't start again.

[6/3/16, 10:44:26 PM] Jamaros: Do you wanna try the door?

[6/3/16, 10:44:37 PM] Hank: Yes

[6/3/16, 10:45:14 PM] Jamaros: You open the door, and it does open.  Hank, Rune, make strength checks.  Rune, you have advantage.

[6/3/16, 10:46:25 PM] Jamaros: As soon as Hank opens the door, it opens on a void.  And Hank is sucked out.  Rune, you're pulled a bit, but manage to grab hold of a drawer and hang on.

[6/3/16, 10:47:09 PM] Rune: Hank!

[6/3/16, 10:47:16 PM] Rune: Rune holds onto Taeral with the other hand!

[6/3/16, 10:48:11 PM] Jamaros: Hank is now free-falling out into space.  Hank, make a dex check.  Rune, you may act if you desire.

[6/3/16, 10:48:55 PM] Rune: TAERAL WHAT DO I DO???

[6/3/16, 10:49:06 PM] Jamaros: Hank reaches for the doorway, but it slides past, he can't grasp it.

[6/3/16, 10:49:19 PM] Hank: Find a rope or something

[6/3/16, 10:49:35 PM] Rune: I can't pull you back I'm a WIZARD.

[6/3/16, 10:49:51 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "WEB!  YOU LEARNED WEB!  I...I SAW YOU DO IT!"

[6/3/16, 10:49:56 PM] Rune: OH!

[6/3/16, 10:50:09 PM] Rune: Rune webs Hank if she can.

[6/3/16, 10:51:43 PM] Jamaros: You conjure a web.  Hank, roll dex again with advantage.

[6/3/16, 10:52:44 PM] Jamaros: Rune, you conjure a web in the doorway, holding Hank in.  And Hank manages to hold on and entangle himself nice and tight.

[6/3/16, 10:53:00 PM] Jamaros: But it won't hold forever.  And now, I need CON checks from you both.

[6/3/16, 10:53:57 PM] Rune: NEXT TIME WHEN I WANT TO STAY TOGETHER WE'RE KEEPING THE GROUP TOGETHER DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME??

[6/3/16, 10:54:20 PM] Hank: Fine you were right is that what you want me to say

[6/3/16, 10:54:26 PM] Rune: YES.

[6/3/16, 10:54:35 PM] Jamaros: You both feel the air getting thinner as the void is sucking it out.  Rune, you don't feel affected yet, but Hank, it's affecting you.  Take 2 points of damage.

[6/3/16, 10:54:46 PM] Jamaros: The Leaf floats up again.

[6/3/16, 10:54:54 PM] Rune: Don't you have any magical fae powers or something USEFUL?!

[6/3/16, 10:54:59 PM] Jamaros: Marquis: "Maybe next time, you let a guy finish his magic trick, huh?"

[6/3/16, 10:55:16 PM] Jamaros: Marquis: "Need some help?"

[6/3/16, 10:55:20 PM] Rune: I don't want to hear Hank's father scream! And neither does he!

[6/3/16, 10:55:48 PM] Jamaros: ((I have too many things happening!  Why did I do this to myself!))

[6/3/16, 10:56:09 PM] Rune: ((Now you know why I'm slow when I have five rooms open.))

[6/3/16, 10:56:10 PM] Hank: (Some idiot split the party)

[6/3/16, 10:56:57 PM] Hank: What kind of help are you offering because spinning into an empty void is not that helpful

[6/3/16, 10:57:31 PM] Rune: Oh, you want to help, DO you? Why don't you just put Hank's father here and make the void go back to where it came from! THAT would be helpful!

[6/3/16, 10:57:55 PM] Rune: And if you want to make me beautiful and NOT A MONSTER or give all of us WINGS you can go ahead and HELP with that too!

[6/3/16, 10:58:03 PM] Rune: And don't put eyes on a leaf, that's CREEPY.

[6/3/16, 10:58:25 PM] Hank: And stop stealing bodies even if they are dead

[6/3/16, 10:58:31 PM] Rune: And I hope you put anti-rotting spells on those bodies or you're going to smell AWFUL.

[6/3/16, 10:59:02 PM] Jamaros: Marquis: "Wow, that's an awful lot you want me to do.  How about we start with those first two things."

[6/3/16, 10:59:28 PM] Jamaros: Marquis: "You sign a deal with me, and I close the void and work on getting Hank his pappy back."

[6/3/16, 10:59:33 PM] Jamaros: Marquis: "Sound fair?"

[6/3/16, 10:59:43 PM] Rune: What kind of deal?

[6/3/16, 11:01:37 PM] Jamaros: Marquis: "I just want you to get a message through to your pal William."

[6/3/16, 11:01:47 PM] Jamaros: Marquis: "Just one little thing."

[6/3/16, 11:01:51 PM] Hank: I will do the deal not you tune

[6/3/16, 11:01:57 PM] Rune: Shut up, Hank!

[6/3/16, 11:02:03 PM] Rune: Oh yeah, what message?

[6/3/16, 11:02:55 PM] Jamaros: Marquis: "Turn"

[6/3/16, 11:03:16 PM] Jamaros: Marquis: "Next time you see him, just say 'Turn'.  That's all he needs to know."

[6/3/16, 11:04:11 PM] Rune: Yeah, well BLESS YOU, you can tell him your own holy self, you sacramental, pure, hallowed, divine angelic little CONSECRATED SHITE. NO DEAL.

[6/3/16, 11:05:09 PM] Jamaros: The leaf glowers at you.  "Well then.  I guess that's all you need."

[6/3/16, 11:05:49 PM] Hank: I will do it

[6/3/16, 11:05:51 PM] Rune: Bless you!

[6/3/16, 11:05:51 PM] Rune: And your MOTHER, TOO.

[6/3/16, 11:05:57 PM] Rune: SHUT UP HANK.

[6/3/16, 11:06:09 PM] Jamaros: Leaf turns to Hank.  "Really?  Well then."

[6/3/16, 11:06:17 PM] Jamaros: A pen materializes into Hank's hand.

[6/3/16, 11:06:35 PM] Jamaros: Marquis: "Just sign on the leaf and everything goes away."

[6/3/16, 11:07:26 PM] Rune: DON'T.

[6/3/16, 11:07:27 PM] Rune: Don't do it, Hank!

[6/3/16, 11:07:31 PM] Rune: He cheats.

[6/3/16, 11:07:42 PM] Hank: And we will die if I don't

[6/3/16, 11:07:45 PM] Rune: It's probably a spell that will do something awful to William!

[6/3/16, 11:07:48 PM] Rune: I don't CARE.

[6/3/16, 11:08:01 PM] Rune: It might kill him or STOP TIME.

[6/3/16, 11:08:10 PM] Rune: DON'T sign that!

[6/3/16, 11:08:17 PM] Hank: The contract should only affect me you and taerals could live

[6/3/16, 11:08:44 PM] Rune: I DON'T CARE. There's worse things than death, I've had apocalyptic visions JUST LET US DIE IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES.

[6/3/16, 11:08:49 PM] Hank: I sign the leaf

[6/3/16, 11:09:14 PM] Jamaros: As soon as the pen touches the leaf, your name appears on it.  Everything stops!

[6/3/16, 11:09:25 PM] Jamaros: The void vanishes, the leaves vanish and you are back in a normal room.

[6/3/16, 11:09:30 PM] Jamaros: The door is open.

[6/3/16, 11:10:07 PM] Rune: ... great.

[6/3/16, 11:10:23 PM] Rune: You better at least write it down on a piece of paper with quotes around it.

[6/3/16, 11:10:41 PM] Rune: And tell him in advance "some horrible monster fae wanted me to give this to you, I'd burn it."

[6/3/16, 11:10:47 PM] Hank: I am not going to do it

[6/3/16, 11:11:02 PM] Rune: Because otherwise, you might just have LITERALLLY ENDED TIME AND SPACE, or just MURDERED OUR BOSS.

[6/3/16, 11:11:40 PM] Hank: No I saved you and TaerAl and if I don't follow through only I should get the consequences

[6/3/16, 11:13:17 PM] Rune: It was illusion, there wasn't anything to save us from.

[6/3/16, 11:13:28 PM] Jamaros: ((Maybe :) ))

[6/3/16, 11:13:34 PM] Hank: What do you mean illusion?

[6/3/16, 11:13:41 PM] Hank: It felt real to me

[6/3/16, 11:13:48 PM] Rune: I mean look around, do you see anything that indicates any of that was real?

[6/3/16, 11:13:52 PM] Rune: Fae are tricksters.

[6/3/16, 11:13:59 PM] Rune: Never believe anything they say or do.

[6/3/16, 11:14:12 PM] Rune: And there's a whole lot worse things than plain old boring death.

[6/3/16, 11:14:30 PM] Hank: No but I don't know what magic can do or not

[6/3/16, 11:14:53 PM] Jamaros: Hank, roll perception.

[6/3/16, 11:15:27 PM] Rune: AND THAT'S WHY YOU LISTEN TO A WIZARD IN AN ARCANE CRISIS.

[6/3/16, 11:15:33 PM] Rune: Instead of just doing whatever you feel like.

[6/3/16, 11:15:51 PM] Rune: I mean, do I try to smash down doors? Do I go first when people with swords are trying to flay us?

[6/3/16, 11:15:57 PM] Hank: I made a decision with what facts I had

[6/3/16, 11:16:03 PM] Rune: No, you ignored me.

[6/3/16, 11:16:05 PM] Rune: Hmph.

[6/3/16, 11:16:34 PM] Rune: Maybe next time I will go first, see how you like it when I blunder into a trap and die horribly.

[6/3/16, 11:16:42 PM] Rune: IT WOULD SERVE YOU RIGHT.

[6/3/16, 11:17:07 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "Can we just be happy we are not floating in a void?"

[6/3/16, 11:17:20 PM] Rune: NO.

[6/3/16, 11:17:23 PM] Hank: Yes thank you TaerAl

[6/3/16, 11:17:50 PM] Hank: We should probably leave

[6/3/16, 11:17:52 PM] Rune: Because you just made a deal with something worse than a devil.

[6/3/16, 11:18:05 PM] Hank: To save us

[6/3/16, 11:18:20 PM] Rune: Allegedly, and there were other ways to have done that. I was trying to wait it out.

[6/3/16, 11:18:38 PM] Rune: And yes, we should. But if you take my advice you can probably avoid the worst of it. Put it in an envelope, seal it, give it to William, tell him where it came from and advise him to destroy it.

[6/3/16, 11:18:56 PM] Hank: Hank feels the back of his neck

[6/3/16, 11:19:21 PM] Rune: Because it's probably some sort of trigger to the next Season, or the next Court, or some other bizarre fae thing, and his tree will drop all its leaves and go into hibernation.

[6/3/16, 11:19:54 PM] Rune: And then he'll fall into a coma and all the holes, you know, the ones he usually plugs? Those will all open up and it'll be just us and no vasty tree thingy to help.

[6/3/16, 11:20:06 PM] Hank: There is some mark on the back of my neck

[6/3/16, 11:20:12 PM] Rune: That's how bad it can get and that's a whole lot worse than death.

[6/3/16, 11:20:30 PM] Rune: Yes, well, that's what happens when you sign things, it's probably a geas.

[6/3/16, 11:20:35 PM] Rune: Rune peers at it.

[6/3/16, 11:20:43 PM] Jamaros: It looks like this:

[6/3/16, 11:20:59 PM] Jamaros: Which, just to clarify, was what the leaf looked like.

[6/3/16, 11:21:03 PM] Jamaros: Except with a stem.

[6/3/16, 11:21:15 PM] Rune: It's an eye on a triangle.

[6/3/16, 11:21:30 PM] Hank: What's a geas?

[6/3/16, 11:21:57 PM] Rune: It's a spell that forces you to do something and makes you sicker and sicker and weaker and weaker and dumber and dumber until you do.

[6/3/16, 11:22:09 PM] Rune: So you're probably going to have to do it.

[6/3/16, 11:23:07 PM] Rune: Alternately, the word "turn" addressed to the right person at the right time may trigger a spellrune, if that's what that is, to do who knows what.

[6/3/16, 11:23:38 PM] Rune: Did I mention how stupid it was to sign? Because I think I did! But I could go on mentioning it all sacred day and it wouldn't be enough because it was THAT BLESSED STUPID.

[6/3/16, 11:25:05 PM] Rune: I wonder if the Marquis is stupid Gargauth, because that would just put the icing on the crapcake.

[6/3/16, 11:25:08 PM] Hank: And I have to deal with those consequences if I don't do it it won't cause the end of the world

[6/3/16, 11:25:54 PM] Rune: I don't know if it will or not, people like that like xanatos gambits a little too much and they usually have a way worked out to win either way.

[6/3/16, 11:26:01 PM] Rune: The only way to win is not to play.

[6/3/16, 11:26:14 PM] Jamaros: At this point the small half-orc woman comes by.

[6/3/16, 11:26:22 PM] Jamaros: Woman: "...the hells happened in here?"

[6/3/16, 11:26:27 PM] Rune: Exactly.

[6/3/16, 11:26:29 PM] Rune: I'm going home.

[6/3/16, 11:26:40 PM] Rune: You can either come with us or walk.

[6/3/16, 11:27:08 PM] Hank: I will walk

[6/3/16, 11:27:30 PM] Rune: Good.

[6/3/16, 11:27:38 PM] Rune: Rune is probably going to get killed trying to drive the carriage home.

[6/3/16, 11:28:26 PM] Hank: Goodbye

[6/3/16, 11:28:33 PM] Hank: Hank will walk away

[6/3/16, 11:28:52 PM] Rune: Rune does try to drive! This is such a bad idea you guys!
