HF 015 Hank and his Dad

[6/10/16, 7:06:54 PM] Jamaros: And you have met a man who looks like your father in an alley, so, let's start there.

[6/10/16, 7:07:43 PM] Caleb L: ok I believe I said "Dad?" at the end of last session

[6/10/16, 7:08:01 PM] Jamaros: The man looks up at you.  His face is stark white and shocked.

[6/10/16, 7:08:18 PM] Jamaros: He reaches out and touches you, first, just inquisitively, then he embraces you.

[6/10/16, 7:08:44 PM] Caleb L: I will hug him back

[6/10/16, 7:08:57 PM] Jamaros: Dad: "Is this real?"

[6/10/16, 7:09:11 PM] Jamaros: Dad: "I...I can't tell anymore."

[6/10/16, 7:09:12 PM] Caleb L: yes

[6/10/16, 7:09:26 PM] Caleb L: Why not where have you been?

[6/10/16, 7:09:56 PM] Jamaros: "The Feywild.  How long's it been?"

[6/10/16, 7:10:35 PM] Caleb L: (how long has it been? 15 18 years?)

[6/10/16, 7:11:01 PM] Jamaros: ((19, probably.  Maybe closer to 20.  He was gone almost all your life.))

[6/10/16, 7:11:17 PM] Caleb L: about 20 years

[6/10/16, 7:11:46 PM] Jamaros: The man stops hugging you and looks you in the eyes.  "Oh, I am so so sorry.  I...you look like your mom."

[6/10/16, 7:11:50 PM] Jamaros: He smiles.

[6/10/16, 7:12:28 PM] Jamaros: Thunder crackles and some drops of rain start to fall.

[6/10/16, 7:12:48 PM] Caleb L: We hould get gioing

[6/10/16, 7:13:40 PM] Caleb L: (As we walk can I tell him about my life in particular the past week getting to what just happened about 30 minutes from the prison)

[6/10/16, 7:13:56 PM] Jamaros: Ok.  Where are you going?

[6/10/16, 7:14:42 PM] Caleb L: Right now the prison or 30 minutes from it

[6/10/16, 7:15:52 PM] Jamaros: As you walk and tell him, he listens very intently.  Asking only a couple follow up questions or congratulating you.  As you approach the prison, though, he starts trying to lead you another way.

[6/10/16, 7:16:07 PM] Jamaros: Dad: "Let's go see your mother.  She still lives this way, correct?"

[6/10/16, 7:17:00 PM] Caleb L: (Did I get to the marquis?)

[6/10/16, 7:17:15 PM] Jamaros: Not yet.  Do you want to tell him that?

[6/10/16, 7:18:15 PM] Caleb L: yes

[6/10/16, 7:19:08 PM] Caleb L: we can walk in the direction of my moms house as i tell him

[6/10/16, 7:19:41 PM] Jamaros: Ok.  As soon as you mention the Marquis, you notice a brief twinge.

[6/10/16, 7:19:50 PM] Jamaros: Dad: "That...that does explain a lot."

[6/10/16, 7:19:59 PM] Jamaros: Dad: "And you still have my journal?"

[6/10/16, 7:20:12 PM] Caleb L: yes

[6/10/16, 7:20:27 PM] Caleb L: (can I insight check him?)

[6/10/16, 7:21:05 PM] Jamaros: Yes.

[6/10/16, 7:22:53 PM] Jamaros: He seems to be very happy to talk with you.  A little worse for wear from wherever he was, but, nothing suspicious or him trying to hide anything.

[6/10/16, 7:23:28 PM] Jamaros: Dad: "Good.  Keep it close to you.  That way I'll know it's safe.  It is so good to see you again.  You don't remember, I bet, but you used to be so tiny."

[6/10/16, 7:24:24 PM] Caleb L: thanks I will see you to Moms place but then I should get back to the group.

[6/10/16, 7:24:43 PM] Jamaros: Dad: "I understand.  It's ok, I won't be going anywhere."

[6/10/16, 7:24:49 PM] Jamaros: Dad: "Never again."

[6/10/16, 7:25:10 PM] Jamaros: Dad: "What will you do when you see this Steelfarmer person?"

[6/10/16, 7:26:00 PM] Caleb L: how badly will it go if I don't follow through on my deal with the Marquis?

[6/10/16, 7:26:24 PM] Jamaros: He lets out a heavy sigh.

[6/10/16, 7:26:40 PM] Jamaros: Dad: "Hard to say.  I'm not even sure you'll have a choice."

[6/10/16, 7:27:02 PM] Jamaros: Dad: "Best case scenario...he'll let you redeal.  But, that'll only get worse."

[6/10/16, 7:27:52 PM] Caleb L: I will show him the neck mark

[6/10/16, 7:28:11 PM] Jamaros: Roll perception.

[6/10/16, 7:29:44 PM] Jamaros: When you show him the neck mark you notice him grimace slightly and rub his right wrist.  "That is serious whatever that was."

[6/10/16, 7:29:56 PM] Jamaros: Dad: "I am so sorry you had to go through that."

[6/10/16, 7:30:23 PM] Caleb L: By the way Mom never told me your name

[6/10/16, 7:30:51 PM] Jamaros: "Detek."

[6/10/16, 7:31:07 PM] Jamaros: ((Pronounced DAY-Tik))

[6/10/16, 7:32:03 PM] Caleb L: (When we reach my moms house I will depart and head in the direction of the prison)

[6/10/16, 7:32:29 PM] Jamaros: Ok, you guys arrive there about now, I'd say.

[6/10/16, 7:32:36 PM] Jamaros: Detek: "Hank...one last thing."

[6/10/16, 7:32:47 PM] Caleb L: yes?

[6/10/16, 7:32:56 PM] Jamaros: Detek: "Your friend, Quill...what out for him."

[6/10/16, 7:33:09 PM] Caleb L: why?

[6/10/16, 7:33:36 PM] Jamaros: Detek: "He may be the only one with a worse deal than you, right now."

[6/10/16, 7:33:44 PM] Jamaros: Detek: "Just...just trust me on this."

[6/10/16, 7:34:00 PM] Caleb L: ok

[6/10/16, 7:34:03 PM] Jamaros: Your father knocks on the door and your mother, a very orcish woman, comes out.

[6/10/16, 7:34:28 PM] Jamaros: She sees Detek and, after a moment of shock, the two embrace and kiss.  And...you may as well not be there at this point.

[6/10/16, 7:34:37 PM] Jamaros: They close the door, and go back inside.

[6/10/16, 7:35:06 PM] Caleb L: for the hell of it I will try stealth on the way back to the prison

[6/10/16, 7:35:46 PM] Jamaros: Roll it.

[6/10/16, 7:36:32 PM] Jamaros: You try and sneak away very quietly...and step in a bucket.

[6/10/16, 7:36:42 PM] Jamaros: The bucket stays on tight the whole way back home.

[6/10/16, 7:36:50 PM] Jamaros: Making all kinds of noise.
