HF 049 Vampire talk

[3/31/2017 8:36:20 PM] Quill: So!  I just got a sending from the vampire guy.  Apparently there are issues with the terms for my meeting with Lysaga.  He wants to meet at Magician's Port of Call.

[3/31/2017 8:36:47 PM] Nilani: Ah.

[3/31/2017 8:38:13 PM] Quill: Yeah.

[3/31/2017 8:38:29 PM] Quill: All our plans will be out the window if I stand him up, I suppose.

[3/31/2017 8:38:56 PM] Hank: When does he want to meet?

[3/31/2017 8:39:12 PM] Quill: I'm supposed to head there now and meet him.

[3/31/2017 8:41:13 PM] Hank: Well if we want any chance of keeping the plan we should head over.

[3/31/2017 8:42:25 PM] Quill: I'm gonna tell Rune.

[3/31/2017 8:42:35 PM] Nilani: I don't believe I've told you what Nahaliel told me on the subject when I visited him.

[3/31/2017 8:43:15 PM] Quill: I don't think so.  What did he say?  This would be useful info.

[3/31/2017 8:46:14 PM] Nilani: First of all, something to consider is that a fully matured vampire would be a hard, possibly even uncertain, fight for him. He is also not going to be directly involved, due to something of a non-interference policy from Heaven.

[3/31/2017 8:47:51 PM] Nilani: He will be able to back us up, though, notably with a sunlight-like effect bound to an object, for a time.

[3/31/2017 8:48:08 PM] Quill: That'll do.

[3/31/2017 8:49:16 PM] \*\*\* Quill goes to find Rune. \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 8:49:42 PM] Jamaros: Rune is gone.

[3/31/2017 8:49:52 PM] Jamaros: As are Belza and Tiprus.

[3/31/2017 8:50:09 PM] \*\*\* Quill pulls out the badge.  "Rune?" \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 8:51:06 PM] \*\*\* Rune via Comm: Yes? \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 8:51:28 PM] Quill: "Where are you?  I have to go talk to a vampire about my entire anti-vampire queen plan falling apart."

[3/31/2017 8:52:02 PM] Rune: Spending a lot of --what?

[3/31/2017 8:52:40 PM] Quill: Apparently Lysaga has issues with the terms of our meeting.  I need to go see someone about this.  No worries, Hank and Anna will be with me.

[3/31/2017 8:53:41 PM] Rune: Oh. ... are you sure you'll be all right?

[3/31/2017 8:53:59 PM] Quill: I don't think he's gonna start anything at this point.

[3/31/2017 8:54:22 PM] Quill: But I have to go now, he's waiting for me.

[3/31/2017 8:54:34 PM] Rune: All right, just... please be careful.

[3/31/2017 8:55:03 PM] Rune: I'm too squeamish to date a vampire.

[3/31/2017 8:55:14 PM] Quill: I'll be fine.

[3/31/2017 8:55:20 PM] Quill: See you soon.

[3/31/2017 8:55:45 PM] \*\*\* Quill signs off, and looks to Hank and Anna.  "He wants to meet at Magicians Port of Call. \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 8:55:47 PM] Rune: All right.

[3/31/2017 8:56:26 PM] Nilani: Alright then. Shall we be off?

[3/31/2017 8:57:28 PM] Hank: We should it's already been a while since he sent the message.

[3/31/2017 8:57:48 PM] Quill: Only a few minutes.

[3/31/2017 8:57:55 PM] Jamaros: Ok, via Kai and Carpet it's a fairly short ride.

[3/31/2017 8:58:43 PM] Jamaros: And, I need to take a quick break here.  My dog may finally be willing to go out.

[3/31/2017 8:58:47 PM] Jamaros: I will be back in a bit.

[3/31/2017 9:00:07 PM] Quill: ((Anyone havea link to the wiki?))

[3/31/2017 9:00:43 PM] Hank: http://havenfall.wikia.com/wiki/Havenfall\_Wikia

[3/31/2017 9:00:53 PM] Quill: ((thanks!))

[3/31/2017 9:01:36 PM] Jamaros: ((Nevermind.  The rain is still too much for him.))

[3/31/2017 9:01:42 PM] Jamaros: ((Back to the game, I guess.

[3/31/2017 9:02:09 PM] Jamaros: You arrive at the MPOC.

[3/31/2017 9:02:30 PM] \*\*\* Nilani adopts her usual slouch. \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 9:02:47 PM] Nilani: [also afk for a bit]

[3/31/2017 9:02:53 PM] Jamaros: ((Ok))

[3/31/2017 9:03:13 PM] Jamaros: Inside you find a mostly full tavern.  Rowdy, seemingly happy folks all milling about their business.

[3/31/2017 9:03:49 PM] \*\*\* Quill checks the corners. \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 9:03:55 PM] Jamaros: Roll perception.

[3/31/2017 9:04:42 PM] Quill: ((13))

[3/31/2017 9:06:18 PM] \*\*\* Quill heads to the bar! \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 9:06:40 PM] \*\*\* Hank follows Quill. \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 9:06:46 PM] Jamaros: A little gnomish figure stands there.  There are a bunch of tough types around.

[3/31/2017 9:06:59 PM] Jamaros: The gnome appears to be the bartender.

[3/31/2017 9:07:07 PM] Jamaros: Gnome: "What can I get you gentlemen?"

[3/31/2017 9:07:44 PM] \*\*\* Quill orders some kind of breakfast beer. \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 9:08:13 PM] Jamaros: The gnome brings it, it's a light, very sweet sort of drink.

[3/31/2017 9:08:18 PM] Jamaros: Like a honey beer.

[3/31/2017 9:08:26 PM] \*\*\* Quill just waits. \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 9:08:43 PM] Jamaros: A cloaked figure makes his way towards you, moving easily through the crowd.

[3/31/2017 9:08:53 PM] Jamaros: He arrives at the bar.  "I can cover their drinks."

[3/31/2017 9:09:04 PM] Quill: No thanks, we've got it.

[3/31/2017 9:09:29 PM] Jamaros: The figure looks over at you.  It is clearly the vampire magic-user from before.

[3/31/2017 9:09:58 PM] Quill: I'll cover our drinks.  What's the message?

[3/31/2017 9:11:06 PM] Jamaros: Seeing him up close, you see he is physically quite different from Tenzinine.  He is decidedly more Drow-ish, with his hair kept long, his skin smooth and untarnished, his features more pointed.

[3/31/2017 9:11:25 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "...You have made your offer, I am here to discuss...changes."

[3/31/2017 9:11:45 PM] Quill: I'm listening.

[3/31/2017 9:12:47 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "You offered a neutral territory.  This is...understandable."

[3/31/2017 9:13:01 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "I assume you would not mind if we scouted it, ourselves."

[3/31/2017 9:13:26 PM] Quill: I had assumed you would.

[3/31/2017 9:14:49 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "We just need to make sure it's not some kind of holy ground.  I'm sure you can understand our need."

[3/31/2017 9:15:24 PM] Quill: Illithid used to lair there.  It's the opposite of holy ground.

[3/31/2017 9:15:32 PM] Jamaros: He nods.

[3/31/2017 9:15:41 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "What about him?"

[3/31/2017 9:15:49 PM] Jamaros: He nods at Hank.

[3/31/2017 9:15:54 PM] Quill: What about him?

[3/31/2017 9:16:37 PM] Hank: Is there a problem with me now?

[3/31/2017 9:17:19 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "He may not bring any of his holy symbols, either."

[3/31/2017 9:17:36 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "His holiness alone...it smells foul."

[3/31/2017 9:18:00 PM] Quill: That seems rude.  Don't worry, though, I've never once seen him do any undead turning.

[3/31/2017 9:18:25 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "Good.  Then our only real issue is the selected time."

[3/31/2017 9:18:48 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "Our lady insists that we meet at midnight.  And not in the afternoon."

[3/31/2017 9:19:17 PM] Quill: I suppose that makes sense.

[3/31/2017 9:19:38 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "Then, we are agreed."

[3/31/2017 9:19:55 PM] Quill: All right.

[3/31/2017 9:20:10 PM] Quill: Midnight, at Sacred Stone, in six days now.

[3/31/2017 9:20:57 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "...if you insist.  I would rather meet sooner, but our lady understands your desire to...think on this matter."

[3/31/2017 9:21:12 PM] \*\*\* Quill nods. \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 9:21:49 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "From here on out, you may contact Tenzinine if you must reach out to us.  You will find him here."

[3/31/2017 9:22:08 PM] Quill: Why isn't he here now?

[3/31/2017 9:22:38 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "Our Lady felt that he left a weak impression, last time."

[3/31/2017 9:22:55 PM] Quill: It wasn't great, that's true.

[3/31/2017 9:24:16 PM] Jamaros: He starts tapping his finger on the counter.  Slowly.  Rhythmically.  "I am here to make a demonstration."

[3/31/2017 9:24:37 PM] Hank: What kind of demonstration?

[3/31/2017 9:24:46 PM] Jamaros: Roll perception.

[3/31/2017 9:25:15 PM] Hank: (( 15 ))

[3/31/2017 9:25:20 PM] Quill: ((21))

[3/31/2017 9:25:39 PM] Jamaros: Both of you notice...you hear the tapping elsewhere too.  You look down and everyone along the bar is also tapping their fingers.

[3/31/2017 9:25:55 PM] Jamaros: They don't seem to notice they're doing it.

[3/31/2017 9:26:08 PM] Nilani: [15]

[3/31/2017 9:26:20 PM] Quill: NIce trick.

[3/31/2017 9:26:30 PM] Quill: I'm suitably impressed.

[3/31/2017 9:26:44 PM] Quill: Though your rhythm is a little off.

[3/31/2017 9:29:33 PM] Jamaros: He smirks at you.  "Your jokes are a poor cover for your fear."

[3/31/2017 9:29:53 PM] Hank: You have made your point , I think we are done here for now.

[3/31/2017 9:29:56 PM] Quill: Your rhythm IS off, though.  I never lie about that.

[3/31/2017 9:30:56 PM] Jamaros: He stops tapping, so does everybody else.

[3/31/2017 9:31:28 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "Just for the record, you killed two of my men and set me back quite a ways."

[3/31/2017 9:31:42 PM] Jamaros: Vampire: "If it were up to me...I'd kill you right here.  All of you."

[3/31/2017 9:32:27 PM] Hank: But it's not up to you, so stop with the empty threats.

[3/31/2017 9:33:20 PM] \*\*\* Quill smiles.  "You've been a very helpful messenger.  Tell your mistress I look forward to our meeting." \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 9:33:39 PM] \*\*\* Quill looks at Anna and Hank.  "Let's go." \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 9:34:07 PM] Jamaros: Ok, you go.

[3/31/2017 9:35:27 PM] Hank: So , where to now?

[3/31/2017 9:36:57 PM] Quill: Home.  We have to lep people know that we're moving to midnight.

[3/31/2017 9:38:01 PM] Jamaros: ((So, you all go back to the prison?))

[3/31/2017 9:38:09 PM] \*\*\* Quill does. \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 9:38:21 PM] Jamaros: Ok.

[3/31/2017 9:39:47 PM] Jamaros: Unless there are objections, you all get back to the prison.

[3/31/2017 9:41:01 PM] Hank: If you want Quill I can stop by and let DB know about the time change?

[3/31/2017 9:42:25 PM] Quill: I'll Send him, don't worry about it.

[3/31/2017 9:43:29 PM] Hank: It won't take long and that way you don't waste a sending.

[3/31/2017 9:43:50 PM] \*\*\* Hank will head in the direction of Darksbane bar. \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 9:44:38 PM] Jamaros: Ok, Hank splits off mid-flight.

[3/31/2017 9:46:51 PM] Jamaros: The rest of you arrive at the prison.

[3/31/2017 9:50:39 PM] \*\*\* Quill goes in. \*\*\*

[3/31/2017 9:50:55 PM] \*\*\* Nilani also heads inside. \*\*\*
