    [​IMG] Okay chaps, will have to post the majority as the log is too long...

    [21:00:10] <@Octara> Right, who remembers what happened last session?
    [21:00:29] <Tarrasque> Erm...
    [21:00:56] <Tarrasque> Missing princess. 5 suspects.
    [21:01:02] <@Octara> Yay!
    [21:01:16] <Tarrasque> Jeweler says it may be guard leader or knight.
    [21:01:56] <Tarrasque> Oh yeah. How much are sunglasses? Wilhorn has a strong desire to keep putting them on/taking them off.
    [21:01:57] <@Urithrand> Ack, I'm rubbish at remembering. Mostly because I'm always drunk when we play...
    [21:02:23] <@Octara> You should take that prestige class :¬P
    [21:02:46] <@Octara> Drunken Master
    [21:02:57] <@Octara> "What happened last week?" "Dun remember" "Bonus Roleplay Experience!"
    [21:03:45] <@Urithrand> XD
    [21:05:33] *** Urithrand changed nick to Leck
    [21:05:50] *** Tarrasque changed nick to Wilhorn
    [21:06:50] *** Silencedfaith changed nick to Ashford
    [21:06:59] <Ashford> Almost went overtime. :3
    [21:07:36] <@Leck> be ready in a sec guys, just gotta make a call
    [21:07:56] <@Octara> Right, were you guys just leaving the jewellerysmiths?
    [21:09:30] <@Leck> Were we?
    [21:09:32] <@Leck> XD
    [21:09:42] <Wilhorn> I think so.
    [21:09:46] <@Octara> No bonus xp this time, sunshine :¬P
    [21:10:01] <Ashford> I shall remain silent on the subject. :p
    [21:10:42] <@Octara> Right
    [21:11:31] * @Leck sits on Adam's shoulder, nattering away about something unimportana, and as always, stuffing his face.
    [21:11:59] <@Octara> After gathering evidence on Eruden you are left with four more suspects - Praetus (Travelling Merchant), Garas (Priest of Olidammara), Laran (Chief Guard) and Sir Felemine (Noble Knight)
    [21:14:31] * Ashford is looking at the air, uninterested.
    [21:15:42] * Wilhorn muses over Eruden's account
    [21:16:53] <@Octara> The elf was a simple smith, asked to sneak into the castle, however according to himself he would have no reason to as his work was not complete to give to the princess
    [21:21:22] <Wilhorn> "So what now?"
    [21:22:49] <Ashford> "Well... You tell me." Ashford shrugs. "We can go check on the others..." His words trail off.
    [21:23:11] <@Octara> The closest person is probably Sir Felemine if you take a shortcut, Wilhorn would know as a resident
    [21:25:25] <Wilhorn> "Well the jeweller implicated Sir Felemine. Could be dangerous though accusing a knight." Wilhorn pauses. "He's probably nearest too."
    [21:28:01] <@Leck> "Well surely a knight would be all, you know... honour bound to help and all that?"
    [21:28:05] <Ashford> "Well, what kind of a person is he, Wilhorn? Seeing that you live here, do you know something about him?"
    [21:28:17] <Wilhorn> ((8?))
    [21:28:18] <@Leck> "I don't really understand, but I've read about them in all sorts of fairy tales." He smiles a distant sort of smile
    [21:28:52] <Ashford> ((Basically 'do you know him?' ))
    [21:28:53] <@Octara> ((You have heard of several of the local knights, but nothing really attention worthy as most of your activities would be based around not encountering one))
    [21:30:01] <Wilhorn> "Knight is just a title. You can have knights that are good. And then you get those who aren't. I haven't heard anything in particular about this one. His kind and mine don't generally meet socially."
    [21:30:43] <Ashford> "I see... Well, whichever you think it's the best then."
    [21:31:14] * @Leck shrugs
    [21:31:27] <@Leck> "I don't really know much about all this detectiving."
    [21:31:57] <@Leck> "Except what I read in the tower. Dad didn't keep many of those sorts of books around, he mostly wanted me to read about magic...
    [21:33:01] <Wilhorn> "I can't say it is particularly my speciality. I tended to avoid the guard. Not help them." Wilhorn shrugs bemusedly. "How hard could it be?"
    [21:33:23] <@Octara> ((Well the guards can do it :3))
    [21:34:01] <Ashford> "Well, you point and we'll go."
    [21:34:43] * @Leck nods excitedly
    [21:34:53] <@Leck> "We get to be heroes and detectives!"
    [21:35:01] <@Leck> "Let's go talk to this knight fellow."
    [21:35:47] <Wilhorn> "Aye. Follow me then"
    [21:36:04] <@Octara> Adam smiles bemusedly as he's ridden through the town...
    [21:36:05] * Wilhorn starts winding his way through the back alleys
    [21:37:27] * Ashford follows Wilhorn, although he isn't that interested.
    [21:37:34] <@Octara> You go through a seemingly hollow part of a brick house which distends through the wall between quarters and end up in the Coin Quarter! tada!
    [21:38:39] <Wilhorn> ((And I was expecting to hear "You have been waylaid by enemies and must defend yourself"))
    [21:38:41] <@Octara> You see the heraldry of a Knight in a house up ahead
    [21:38:42] <@Octara> LOL
    [21:38:54] <@Octara> This is more Baldurs Gate than Athkatla ;¬)
    [21:39:52] <@Leck> (( How impressive is his place? Is Leck fascinated!? ))
    [21:40:49] <@Octara> Isn't Leck always? :¬)
    [21:40:56] <@Octara> It's modest for a nobleman
    [21:41:16] <@Octara> Perhaps the level of a merchant who is practical and buys quality over extravagence
    [21:41:32] * @Leck seems somewhat underwhelmed by the nobleman's abode
    [21:41:41] <@Leck> "I'd have thought he'd live in a tower..."
    [21:42:02] <@Leck> "Don't all rich people live in towers?"
    [21:42:03] <Ashford> "Not a tower, but at least a bit bigger though."
    [21:42:15] <Wilhorn> "It does seem rather modest for a knight."
    [21:42:23] <Ashford> Indeed.
    [21:42:27] <Ashford> "Indeed."
    [21:42:28] <@Leck> "Dad's tower was very tall... I always wondered how they got the stone up so high..."
    [21:42:47] <@Leck> "I wonder if they use giants...?"
    [21:44:01] <@Octara> You can hear shouting inside the house
    [21:44:09] <Ashford> "It's simple engineering really..."
    [21:44:18] * @Leck stops his musings as the sound of raised voices reaches him
    [21:44:34] * Wilhorn speeds up as he hears the noise
    [21:44:43] * @Leck looks at Adam nervously
    [21:45:08] <@Leck> "I wonder whether we could get a saddle for you when you're you know... all ratty." He grins and teases
    [21:45:22] * Ashford follows Wilhorn, and is expecting to hear something interesting.
    [21:45:41] <@Octara> Adam bristles slightly "I don't think I'd very much like that!"
    [21:45:56] <@Octara> There are some rather select words for a supposed Knight
    [21:46:18] <@Octara> something about a pathetic failure, a waste of space and other derogatery things
    [21:47:02] <@Leck> "I was only joking!" He nudges his playfully
    [21:47:07] <@Leck> him*
    [21:48:20] <Ashford> "This will be delicious. Let's listen..."
    [21:48:51] <@Octara> You can't tell if there is anyone else in the house but can see a shadow behind one of the curtains from the backdrop of a warm light
    [21:49:07] <@Leck> "Eavesdropping is rude." He frowns
    [21:49:17] <@Octara> Adam leans closer anyway :¬P
    [21:49:47] * @Leck is shoved into position of eavesdropping, and desperately struggles to not listen as he plants his ear against the glass curiously
    [21:49:58] <@Octara> From what you can tell, that's the gentleman you're after shouting about the uselessness of some other figure
    [21:50:14] <@Octara> There is a smash of glass followed by some good old fashioned swearing
    [21:50:48] * @Leck blushes slightly
    [21:50:52] <@Octara> A distinctly female voice is heard quietly - listen checks please :¬)
    [21:51:18] <@Leck> *gets out his character sheet*
    [21:51:23] <Wilhorn> !roll d20+9;Listen
    [21:51:24] <@Mystra> Wilhorn, d20+9: 26 (Total: 26, Avg: 26.00) [Listen]

    [21:51:35] <@Mystra> Ashford, d20+1: 19 (Total: 19, Avg: 19.00) [Listen]

    [21:52:47] <@Mystra> Leck, d20+1: 8 (Total: 8, Avg: 8.00) [Listen]
    [21:52:58] <@Leck> "Hey listen! I can hear my own voice!"
    [21:53:09] <Ashford> "Sh."
    [21:53:20] * @Leck sulks and goes silent
    [21:53:59] <@Octara> Ashford, Wilhorn, you hear a woman sigh and say "I'll start cleaning this up then, sir"
    [21:54:04] <@Octara> Leck, you hear a muffled woman
    [21:54:38] <@Leck> "I think he has a cat..."
    [21:55:29] <Ashford> "I personally think that's the maid..."
    [21:55:31] * Wilhorn stiffens at the sound of what appears to be an ill treated servant
    [21:56:11] <@Leck> "Wow, all that shouting, she must be a really rubbish maid."
    [21:56:34] <@Octara> You hear a door slam
    [21:57:09] <@Octara> Moments later the front door opens to a portly woman with a dustpan held
    [21:57:15] <@Octara> "Oh my!"
    [21:57:39] * @Leck looks like a kid that got caught with his hand in the cookie jar
    [21:57:45] <@Leck> "Uh... hello!"
    [21:58:15] * Wilhorn courteously bows. "Good day."
    [21:58:42] * @Leck slowly removes his ear from its position plastered on the windowpane, leaving a steamy imprint of his face for a few moments sheepishly
    [21:58:44] <Ashford> "Hello there." Ashford followed Wilhorn's lead and nodded at the woman.
    [21:59:35] * @Leck tries to grin winningly
    [21:59:37] <@Octara> She looks between all of you, and up at Leck balanced on someones shoulders
    [21:59:43] <@Leck> !roll d20+3; Charisma
    [21:59:43] <@Mystra> Leck, d20+3: 8 (Total: 8, Avg: 8.00) [Charisma]
    [21:59:55] <@Octara> "... What in the blazes are you all playing at?"
    [22:00:02] <@Leck> Mystra did I ever tell you I hate you?
    [22:00:09] <@Octara> she quietly closes the door behind her so sound doesn't drift indoors
    [22:00:26] <@Leck> "Would you believe us if we said we're the window cleaners?"
    [22:00:27] <@Octara> She shakes the contents of the dustpan into a nearby barrell as well
    [22:00:35] <@Octara> "No I soddin' wouldn't, young man!"
    [22:00:48] <@Leck> The smile fades from his face and the bottom lip slowly pokes out
    [22:01:00] <@Leck> "Well I thought I'd try
    [22:01:02] <@Leck> "
    [22:01:19] * Ashford sighs. Leck and his mouth... Ashford promptly looked at Wilhorn.
    [22:02:01] <@Leck> "Look, thing is, we're here to look for a princess."
    [22:02:12] <@Leck> "We thought your master might be able to help us."
    [22:02:34] <@Octara> She looks very concerned
    [22:02:44] <@Octara> She starts wringing her hands nervously
    [22:02:52] <Wilhorn> "We are here to see your master. We heard raised voices and were concerned."
    [22:02:54] <@Octara> "The Master is very upset over this, he is."
    [22:03:45] <@Octara> "Sir Felemine is a kind man, he is just very hard on himself." she gestures at the barrell "He would never hurt the dear princess, he loved her in a ways he could never express."
    [22:04:12] <@Leck> "He was in love with her?"
    [22:04:20] <@Octara> she hesitates
    [22:04:33] <@Octara> "I... I believe so sir, yet he never said a word to her."
    [22:04:51] <@Leck> "It's ok, we're only here for his help, we're not accusing anyone of anything." He smiles warmly again and hopes the DM will accept his 16 CHA instead of making him roll
    [22:05:00] <@Octara> XD
    [22:05:38] <Wilhorn> "Aye. The princess's safety is our sole aim."
    [22:05:44] <@Octara> "The Princess was very popular, sirs, you have to understand that a Knights' duties do not make them popular."
    [22:06:11] <@Leck> "Do you know the princess, miss?"
    [22:06:18] <Ashford> "Your master must really be worried..."
    [22:06:29] <@Leck> (( Wait - memory block - was there a ransom note? ))
    [22:06:53] <@Octara> "I have seen the princess, a pretty lass, will make a great woman some day, had many suitors though she was very... selective."
    [22:07:37] <Wilhorn> "In what way?"
    [22:09:08] <@Leck> "Wait, wait wait, this is silly, perhaps we should go inside? We don't want to repeat all these questions. That is, if your master will see us?"
    [22:09:19] <@Octara> "She expressed... unorthadox views. She showed interest in magic trying to revive its popularity in the area and diminish fear in it. She also said she would never marry a Knight or any other who harms a mage who has performed no violent crime."
    [22:09:37] <@Octara> "Then there was her fondness for a half elven lad"
    [22:10:55] <Ashford> Ashford wasn't that interested in all that lovey dovey (although his roleplayer is a sucker for romance threads and would love to hear more.)
    [22:11:35] <@Leck> XD
    [22:11:42] * Wilhorn is trying not to puke at the mushy stuff
    [22:12:14] <@Leck> "So can we come in, miss?"
    [22:12:15] <@Octara> "My lord is very... tense at the moment. He blames himself for the Princess going missing. He was called to duty whilst he was supposed to be in the Castle on patrol."
    [22:12:30] <@Leck> "Wait... called to duty?"
    [22:12:32] <@Leck> "By who?"
    [22:12:58] <@Leck> "Who thinks that the princess's safety is secondary to some menial task, I wonder... Or perhaps who is it who wanted your master out of the castle..."
    [22:12:58] <@Octara> "There was reports of an illegal magical act in the marketplace. Knights are sent to investigate it instead of guards generally."
    [22:13:39] <Wilhorn> "But why him?"
    [22:13:39] * @Leck wishes he had a long bowl pipe and a flat cap to wear while he questions people
    [22:13:53] * Wilhorn takes out a pair of sunglasses and puts them on
    [22:13:57] <@Octara> "I know not sir, perhaps he was the first Knight encountered by the chief."
    [22:14:07] <@Leck> "The chief... what was his name again>"
    [22:14:16] <@Octara> "Laran, sir?"
    [22:14:34] <@Leck> "Ah, yes, I believe he's one of the people we were going to talk to. For help."
    [22:14:46] <@Octara> she purses her lips
    [22:15:07] <@Leck> "Strange that he'd call someone from the most important guard duty in the city... Not that I'm questioning his integrity, I just find it odd."
    [22:15:10] <Ashford> "More data will be required for further analysis." Ashford speaks in a mechanical tone as he wears the visage of the Adjutant from Starcraft.
    [22:15:17] <@Leck> "Surely there must have been more appropriate people to call on?"
    [22:16:02] <@Leck> "Were the reports true? Was there indeed a disturbance?"
    [22:16:12] <@Octara> She shrugs "Knights are trained to subdue wizards, many are gifted with signets that defend against magic."
    [22:16:29] <@Octara> "aye, a large blaze in the marketplace. The perpetrator got away."
    [22:16:35] <@Leck> (( Sorry, sorry, going too fast lol ))
    [22:17:01] <@Leck> "Hmm..." He strokes the place where he would have a beard if he was't as bald as a... bald faced person.
    [22:17:27] <Wilhorn> "Convenient. Was there any description as to who caused the blaze?"
    [22:18:25] <@Octara> "None, a simple forewarning that there was going to be havoc, then boom!"
    [22:18:45] <Ashford> "A fore...warning? From who?"
    [22:19:10] <@Leck> "Miss, would you please ask your master if we might speak to him? I have a huge conspiracy theory just bubbling under my furry little head that I simply must tell someone."
    [22:19:31] * @Leck bats his eyelids as cutely as possible and twists the tip of his tail in his hands
    [22:19:34] <Ashford> ((Guys, need to leave in half an hour time. Sorry, this should be the last time I'm leaving early... This is my last week of uni, so there's quite a few reports due this week. I'm doing one right now, as well.))
    [22:19:57] <@Leck> (( No worries, we're only RPing, no fights we need to die in tonight XD ))
    [22:20:16] <@Octara> ((Well, I can stop whenever you guys want))
    [22:20:30] <Ashford> ((Yay! Without out barbarian dwarf friend, I fear for our feeble HPs. :D))
    [22:20:36] <@Leck> (( Well if we stop here, we could always RP a bit from CJ's campaign...? ))
    [22:22:21] <Ashford> ((Your choice. :D ))
    [22:22:33] <@Leck> "Pweeeeeeease?"
    [22:22:34] <Wilhorn> ((Up to you :) ))
    [22:22:49] <@Leck> (( I don't mind, I'll keep going here, or play something else, I'm easy. ))
    [22:23:09] <Ashford> ((But now I'm itchin to write a romace fic... DANG YOU MISSING PRINCESS +KNIGHT +HALF ELF!))
    [22:23:21] <@Leck> (( XD ))
    [22:23:27] <Ashford> ((*fanboy scream*))
    [22:23:42] <@Leck> (( Who'd have thought *I'M* the gay one...? ))
    [22:24:10] <Ashford> (('Hmm? What do you mean? *ish shocked*))
    [22:24:21] <@Octara> ((Well, duh, you Leck. There's a woman involved :¬P))
    [22:24:31] <@Leck> (( lmao ))
    [22:24:46] <Ashford> ((XXXD))
    [22:25:44] <Wilhorn> ((Rule 34 comes to mind XD))
    [22:26:04] <Ashford> ((What rule was that?))
    [22:26:28] <@Leck> (( Excuse me, are we playing or not? :¬P ))
    [22:26:31] <Wilhorn> ((Rule 34 of the Internet, a meme which states that "If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions))
    [22:27:30] <@Leck> (( And even a number of things that *don't* exist ))
    [22:27:42] <@Octara> ((Shopping Trolley was the best one))
    [22:28:09] * @Leck nudges the DM to respond to his eyelid-batting question
    [22:28:52] <@Octara> ((okay, okay))
    [22:29:10] <@Octara> "Well... I will ask the master what he thinks. You will wait here!"
    [22:29:16] <@Leck> "Of course miss."
    [22:29:35] <@Octara> she slips away a moment
    [22:30:46] <Ashford> "I hope we can get some more information..."
    [22:31:02] * @Leck waits patiently, though he fidgets a little
    [22:31:10] <@Octara> She opens the door and ushers you inside
    [22:31:23] <@Octara> "Please, sirs, let my master rest soon though."
    [22:31:33] * @Leck prompts Adam forward
    [22:31:42] <@Leck> "Onward noble steed!" he chuckles
    [22:31:55] <@Octara> Adam rolls his eyes and ducks through the doorway
    [22:32:05] * Wilhorn follows
    [22:32:07] <Ashford> "Thank you. Please bring us to your master then."
    [22:32:12] * Ashford follows.
    [22:33:21] <@Octara> She ushers you into a drawing room, a lovely fire, chairs with rich cushions, a tall, slender yet muscular man with shoulder length hair stood at the fireplace, a long blue tunic over trousers and a bandaged hand
    [22:34:00] * @Leck hops down from Adam's shoulder to be polite. No riding the noble steed indoors!
    [22:34:22] <@Octara> he looks confused at the circus act before him :`P
    [22:34:24] <@Octara> :¬P
    [22:34:40] <@Leck> "Well met, noble knight."
    [22:34:47] <@Octara> He nods
    [22:34:51] * @Leck whispers to Adam "I read that in a book once." He grins
    [22:35:07] <@Octara> "I greet you sirs, For what do I owe this meeting?"
    [22:35:27] <@Leck> "Dark times are upon us sir, as you well know."
    [22:35:45] <@Leck> "We are pledged to discover the evil circumstance that has wrested the fair princess from us."
    [22:35:51] <@Octara> "You?"
    [22:35:53] * @Leck puffs himself up proudly
    [22:35:54] * Ashford bows slightly. His peasant heritage dictates that he showed the nobility the respect they deserve...
    [22:35:58] <@Leck> "Uh... yes."
    [22:36:07] <@Leck> His pride wilts a little
    [22:36:17] <@Octara> "And what position do you hold within the guards or orders of knights?"
    [22:36:22] <Ashford> "We are charged with the duty to find the princess, as have others."
    [22:36:33] <@Leck> "None. Which is precisely why we are the perfect candidates for the job."
    [22:36:55] <@Octara> he pauses a moment then sighs
    [22:37:05] <@Octara> "Perhaps there is too much clouded judgement from within."
    [22:37:17] <@Leck> "I think you will find us more than capable of the task, sir. We intend only to help."
    [22:37:30] <@Octara> "I forget my manners, I am Sir Feremine as I am sure you are aware, might I ask of you your names?"
    [22:37:59] <@Leck> "I am Leck. These are my compatriots Ashford, Wilhorn, Dimli and Adam."
    [22:38:22] <@Leck> "Leckith Curlyfoot, I should say."
    [22:38:32] <@Octara> "An... impressive name."
    [22:38:42] * @Leck grins proudly, his puffiness returning
    [22:38:44] <@Octara> "What have you gathered so far on the missing princess?"
    [22:38:51] * Wilhorn inclines his head when his name is mentioned.
    [22:39:09] <Ashford> (stomach cramp... be back in a sec.
    [22:39:36] <@Leck> "Well we have determined that there are a number of people involved in the princess's welbeing, though we have gleaned little fact through the murkiness of rumour."
    [22:40:09] <@Leck> "We were hoping that with your unique closeness of duty to the priness that your head might contain some glimmer of information that might be useful in our investimigations."
    [22:40:46] * @Leck babbles a little as always
    [22:41:06] <@Octara> hehe
    [22:41:19] <@Octara> The knight pinches the bridge of his nose a moment
    [22:41:42] <Ashford> ((Back))
    [22:41:47] <@Leck> "Perhaps you could start with enlightening us a little on what you know of this half-elf that the princess seems to have taken such a liking to?"
    [22:42:02] * Wilhorn winces. Talk about tackless
    [22:42:15] * @Leck dives head first into the situation beautifully
    [22:42:24] <@Octara> "The princess went missing this afternoon whilst I was on my way to patrol the castle. I was in the plaza of the Coin Quarter when Laran, the Chief Guard approached me. he said he'd had a letter saying there will be trouble in the market square, we then heard the explosion and headed straight there."
    [22:42:27] * Ashford closed his eyes. He expects that they will be thrown out soon.
    [22:42:38] <@Octara> The knight pales slightly
    [22:42:55] <@Octara> "I know nothing worth knowing."
    [22:42:59] <@Octara> he speaks very quietly
    [22:43:15] <@Leck> "Perhaps his name and station might be a good start?" He prompts a little more gently
    [22:44:05] <@Octara> "Nobleman... Paris."
    [22:44:19] <@Leck> "How very Romeo and Juliet..." He mustters
    [22:44:21] <@Leck> *mutters
    [22:44:24] <@Octara> "Paris Celthiel"
    [22:44:49] <Wilhorn> "And where is he from?"
    [22:44:56] <@Leck> "Sir, I do not mean to cause you any... undue stress. Understand that we simply must pursue all avenues of evidence."
    [22:45:06] * Ashford is a bit confused. "What Romeo and Juliet?" (Roleplayer is fanboy screaming now)
    [22:45:46] <Wilhorn> ((Wherefore art thou Leck?))
    [22:45:48] <@Leck> (( Paris is the nobleman who Juliet is betrothed to in R&J if you didn't already know :¬P ))
    [22:46:24] <@Octara> "Elven by merit of his fathers' side. Originally from the city of <shitIneedacityname...ohgodwhydidn'tIpreparethisshitweeksago> Vallun"
    [22:46:30] <Ashford> ((XD))
    [22:46:36] <Wilhorn> ((XD))
    [22:46:55] <Wilhorn> "And what brought him here?"
    [22:46:57] <@Octara> (I haven't actually read Romeo and Juliet since I was nine, I didn't know XD)
    [22:47:19] <@Octara> "Family has decided Vallun shall be a seasonal home to them."
    [22:48:46] <@Leck> "Is their... dalliance widely known?"
    [22:48:58] <@Octara> "No. It was nipped in the bud before it was made public."
    [22:49:36] <@Leck> "Is it possible that the princess left of her own design?"
    [22:49:53] <@Octara> He shakes his head
    [22:49:58] <@Octara> "No. Impossible!"
    [22:50:16] <@Octara> "She would at the least have left a note had she done so. Not that she would"
    [22:50:29] <@Leck> "Okay, I believe you."
    [22:50:43] <Ashford> "A princess's duty..."
    [22:50:57] <@Leck> "Now onto a slightly tactless question..."
    [22:51:01] <Wilhorn> "And if the note was taken as well?"
    [22:51:02] <@Leck> (( bwahahahahahahaha ))
    [22:51:21] <@Octara> "If the note was taken as well then the princess evidently didn't run away..."
    [22:51:47] <@Leck> "Why were you summoned from the castle grounds? Were there not less important duties that other knights might have been taken from?"
    [22:52:45] <@Octara> "There are usually four knights in the castle at any one time. With me assisting in the marketplace there should be at least three other knights on duty."
    [22:52:57] <@Leck> "And how did they not notice an abduction?"
    [22:53:21] <@Octara> "They did, alas, too late."
    [22:53:38] <@Leck> "Hmm... This note that the guard captain recieved..."
    [22:53:51] <@Leck> "Who delivered it?"
    [22:53:58] <@Octara> he shuffles slightly "I have already been absolved of any involvement by the knights of my order."
    [22:54:03] <Ashford> ((Sorry guys, Have to go.))
    [22:54:05] <@Octara> "Laran never said, to be honest."
    [22:55:15] <@Leck> "We weren't implying that you were involved, good knight."
    [22:55:35] <@Leck> "I believe that the evidence implies that you would not have harmed the princess."
    [22:55:40] <@Octara> "I should have been there!"
    [22:55:45] <@Octara> "I should have stopped them!"
    [22:55:51] <@Octara> He seems rather aggitated
    [22:55:54] <@Leck> "Yes, but instead you were doing your duty. Do you regret that?"
    [22:56:22] <@Octara> "With every further breath."
    [22:56:48] * @Leck seems a little taken aback, but his smile suddenly becomes deeply sympathetic
    [22:57:30] <@Leck> "We will find her, sir." He tries to reassure the man
    [22:58:12] <@Leck> "Now I'm sorry to press the point, but this half-elf, Paris... did he take it badly when their intimacy was... dissolved?"
    [22:58:25] <@Octara> The knight shrugs
    [22:58:47] <@Octara> "He spent less time in the city. I rarely saw him since."
    [22:59:09] <Wilhorn> "Do you know where he went?"
    [22:59:12] <@Leck> "So would I be safe to assume he was incensed by the way things turned out?"
    [22:59:22] <@Leck> (( Sorry, getting a bit carried away lol ))
    [22:59:47] <@Octara> "I do not know. I did not care as long as he stayed away."
    [23:01:13] <@Leck> "As a nobleman, he would surely have the resources to have the princess stolen away... but do you think he would have had the sheer gall to do it?"
    [23:01:32] <@Leck> "Or was he the spineless jellyfish he seems to be?"
    [23:02:06] <@Octara> "He's a child. He wouldn't know where to turn. I may not... like him. Yet I don't think he's such a fool to hurt his one chance at redemption."
    [23:02:08] * @Leck tries to get on his good side
    [23:02:23] <@Leck> "I see."
    [23:02:30] <Wilhorn> "And if he was encouraged?"
    [23:02:51] <@Leck> "His parents would surely be interested in having him betrothed to a princess..."
    [23:03:44] <@Octara> "His parents are working with the royal family on an equality act, something their son would have to be on his best behaviour for."
    [23:03:55] <@Octara> "If he was found responsible the whole thing would collapse."
    [23:04:42] <Wilhorn> "And if someone could manipulate him? Cause him to take the princess? Someone who wanted the act to fail?"
    [23:05:24] * @Leck nods at Wilhorn's acuity, impressed
    [23:05:42] <@Octara> "The act was kept quiet. Very few knew about it even among the knights. We were being inducted cautiously, one at a time, to ensure we would be prepared if anything came of... disagreements of the act."
    [23:05:59] <Wilhorn> "Who knew of it?"
    [23:06:18] * @Leck frowns, listening intently to hear Laran's name
    [23:11:08] <@Octara> "Of the knights? All of my order, the Argent Chalice." He indicates his heraldry on the walls "Next to be introduced would be the Order of the Verdant Banner"
    [23:11:58] <@Leck> "Hmm."
    [23:13:11] <@Leck> "This may be a rather... broad question... but has any of your order, or that of the Verdant Banner shown any opposition openly to act?"
    [23:13:51] <@Octara> "None so far, one erred caution and was afraid that the city would rebel, but he assisted just as well and has grown fond of the idea"
    [23:14:34] <Wilhorn> "And how many would you say opposed it, but not openly?"
    [23:15:47] <@Octara> "None. Part of our training is to see beyond race and order. We are treated as nobles and peasants both, as human and not. We are to react without assumption or judgment until the evidence is in hand and our honor dictates action. If any of us objected it would show gross failure in our training."
    [23:16:27] <@Leck> "And none who did not receive this training would have been privy to the information?"
    [23:16:32] <Wilhorn> "All training can fail. There can be rot in the most rosy of apple."
    [23:17:11] <@Octara> "The deal is being kept airtight. You would be the first outside the orders to hear of it. I have all your names and descriptions too. So if I hear it is common knowledge I will know who to blame."
    [23:17:33] <@Leck> "Of course, our job here is in the utmost confidence."
    [23:18:15] <Wilhorn> "Our aim is not to dabble in politics. Our goal is to find the princess."
    [23:19:53] <@Octara> "Of course."
    [23:19:59] <@Octara> "Who sent you by the way?"
    [23:20:31] <@Leck> "The arrogant bast - uh the gentleman in the tavern."
    [23:21:33] <@Octara> he raises an eyebrow
    [23:22:31] <@Leck> "At least they were talking to a guard there. I wasn't paying much attention. He was rather rude. I think it was his idea."
    [23:23:03] <@Octara> "I see."
    [23:23:15] <@Octara> "Is there anything else you'd like to know?"
    [23:24:33] <@Leck> "What does your guard captain Laran think of elves?"
    [23:24:40] * @Leck decides to just ask it
    [23:25:37] <@Octara> "Well. I'm not sure I've ever asked. He's commented that the women are attractive, but little else."
    [23:26:36] <@Leck> "I see. Well I don't think I have much more to ask..."
    [23:26:49] <@Leck> "Or indeed anything. Wilhorn?"
    [23:27:16] <Wilhorn> "Was Laran informed of the act?"
    [23:29:16] <@Octara> "Laran is investigating the Princess being missing as far as I'm aware."
    [23:30:34] <Wilhorn> "Interesting. What is your opinion of Laran?"
    [23:31:26] <@Octara> "He is fixed in his ways. But loyal."
    [23:32:15] <Wilhorn> "Fixed in what way?"
    [23:32:35] <@Octara> "He is just set in his ways, opinionated if you will."
    [23:32:59] <Wilhorn> "And what opinions does our guard captain hold?"
    [23:33:24] <@Octara> "Generally elitist towards guardsd and commonfolk."
    [23:35:25] <Wilhorn> "Well I think unless friend Leck or the others have any more questions, we can leave you to your musings Sir Knight."
    [23:35:48] <@Leck> "I think I am done, for now." He smiles. "Thank you deeply for your time. I appreciate this is a very difficult time for you."
    [23:36:13] <@Octara> "My thanks, I have some recovering to do." he gestures with his bandaged hand and his maidservant enters the room to escort you out
    [23:36:42] <Wilhorn> "One more thing Sir Knight. What happened to your hand?"
    [23:37:12] <@Octara> "A simple cut, nothing more." He leaves the room
    [23:37:33] * @Leck clambers back up onto Adam's shoulder, deep in thought

    Sorry guys, I'm not going to be able to make next Tues. (Off out with a lady acquaintance :holy:)

    Feel free to use Wilhorn as you wish. (Within reason!)

    Awww, a shame. Last session was epic, loved every minute of it, and glad to have finally got to the bottom of the kidnapping (and had our first fight in forever)

    Massive props to Occy. We love you <3

    Next adventure should start with a bit of torture if i'm lucky. You know Dimli can extract information from people, in fact i'm already thinking up methods.

    [​IMG] What sort of obstacles would you like to see in the future?

    I could do more like the abandoned temple, I've got a 'classic' crawl planned with traps and classic dungeon fare lined up and an elven styled tower with more arcane tricks tailored to each of you.

    Should have more combat in future games, will have a line up of monsters to use per session so can pull them up on the fly easier. First few lots of enemies were pretty much drawn from scratch apart from a couple of random encounters which were just modified MM entries.

    Also: Adam. I can progress him as a silent PC for the group as a healer and have him improve his weapon/armour smithing skills along with giving him healing skills and possibly cleric levels. Would mean substituting his Wererat levels for cleric.

    Have got stuff planned out for Dimli, can confirm with CJ over MSN when that gets put in motion, but while I have ideas for some specific arcs for each of you to get to advance would be good if there's anything in particular you want to get involved in.

    For example, I could bring in bits from Leckiths' background or even the tower if I get a description of it. If Wilhorn gets me details on who he knows in say, a local thieves guild I can expand along those lines as well.

    I've still got quite a few things to run and the maps are developing a bit slowly at the moment (You know when you save at the wrong point and don't realise when it comes to loading it? Yeeeaaaah...) so if there's anything you'd like me to roll with give me a shout.

    This is your game :)

    See you Tuesday for some morally questionable actions and princess liberation ;)
