Re: Summer 1221 - The Luminous Codex [Arduin]
Julie (I was going to call her Isolde, but Julie works :)) looks guiltily around the room before responding, avoiding eye contact entirely. "Hu--the footman says he thinks it's a demon what got on with Father LeFevre, the priest. I don't rightly know, but surely the sound was coming out from th...

Re: OOC Chat
All of the Covenant's current vis income is earmarked for maintaining its aegis (protective magical shielding) and as rewards for rebuilding the library. If Bran wants to suggest an unusual service to the covenant he could undertake to exchange for some of the Terram vis that is in stock currently, ...

Re: Summer 1221 - The Luminous Codex [Arduin]
Simon, uninvested in the feelings of his servants around this particular topic, assents to the pair questioning the cook alone. He welcomes her in, and then departs to another wing of the house. The cook is a slightly older woman, perhaps in her early to mid 40s. She is plainly dressed in a canvas d...

Re: Summer 1221 - The Luminous Codex [Arduin]
Hubert frowns at the pair's questions. Be stands straighter and becomes almost strident as he responds. "This kind of question is exactly what I was afraid of. The cook has a fancy for the priest--or had, anyway--but she's a woman of virtue. The shrieks that came from that cottage were carnal o...

Re: Summer 1221 - The Luminous Codex [Arduin]
Hubert sighs once again but finally relents, not looking toward Simon.
“I hesitate because many of the details of these events could lead someone to impugn the honor of the cook—and some have. But she is innocent in this matter!”

Re: Summer 1221 - The Luminous Codex [Arduin]
Go ahead and make a Presence + Persuasion check (ease factor 9) to convince him to be candid with you.
Introducing a new mechanic you haven't seen yet, which is a limiting skill. You can only use as much Persuasion as you also have Folk Ken to contribute to this roll.

Re: Chapter 2: The Woes of Reuna
Zelda shakes off the hit, her slow spirit roused by the heat of battle and the deaths of the villagers around her. She lunges forward and strikes at the remaining nearby kobold. Hammer to the Kobold [1d20]=16 Damage [1d4]=1 Sonja circles around and, seeing her opportunity to ingratiate herself to th...

Re: Chapter 2: The Woes of Reuna
Does Zelda lose HP even though the modified damage roll is 0? Just wanted to make sure that isn't an oversight. Thanks!

Re: Summer 1221 - The Luminous Codex [Arduin]
Hubert sighs and is quiet for a long time before speaking. “It was Michaelmas, and we had all been to Mass—Sir Simon, the gardener, the cook and myself. After Mass, the cook stayed behind to ask a question of the priest in regard to his liturgy, and the rest of us returned to the house. “Some hours ...

Re: Summer 1221 - The Luminous Codex [Arduin]
Hubert attempts to draw the object, but lacks any practice in creative arts and it is, at best, a childish rendition of the thing. It looks roughly rectangular with what Hubert indicates to be something like antlers coming from the upper corners. "The sounds..." he begins. "Yes, they-...

Re: Summer 1221 - The Luminous Codex [Arduin]
Hubert, an experienced servant and used to the disregard of his betters, does not respond to the mangling of his name (if that's not intentional, please ignore) , sighing in thought before he makes his response, never once raising his eyes from the floor. "I...believe it will end the trouble, Y...

Re: Summer 1221 - The Luminous Codex [Arduin]
Hubert gives a single sidelong glance in Simon's direction, though Simon is no longer looking that way, and clears his throat once before answering. "Yes, your Ladyship. It has possessed the priest of the village, who is to be executed in the morning. And rightfully so." He casts his eyes ...

Hubert begins with the last question first. "I don't know much about the contents, really. The mask is the only one for a long time that I've seen with my own eyes. Not to be too squeamish about it, but I don't want any kind of taint from it to infect me, if you understand my meaning, sir. Defi...

Re: Summer 1221 - The Luminous Codex [Arduin]
Hubert looks toward Simon at regular intervals as he speaks, sometimes appearing to begin to answer a question, then hesitating as though looking for a response from Simon before continuing. Occasionally, in response, Simon will nod, or frown, but generally he remains impassive in the face of these ...

Re: Summer 1221 - The Luminous Codex [Arduin]
He would have made some kind of comment to suggest that the evidence makes it very clear that it's a demonic infestation of some kind, without a clear argument.
