Hell yeah they're in. Masha slams her bow down on the table. It's well made and the kind northern barbarians make. Almost half-orcish? There's a hunter in the guild with one like this, but it's not as good. Rachna refuses to get involved with such crass braggery but she does smile & move her cloak so you can check out a longsword. You don't catch what kind exactly. Facebook Aunt posted:>>Baker joins in because she has nothing at all to contribute to discussion of the archaeological expedition she didn't go on. "Funny story, I forgot to bring any weapons on the trip. I mean I brought a frying pan and a rolling pin which are both solid in a pinch, but not single use weapons. While we were out I tried a mace, a dagger, a short bow, a crossbow, a bunch of stuff. These metal fangs just felt right, you know? Good in tight spaces, don't need room for big swings. And if an enemy if farther away you can throw them. But then you need extras, you can't throw your dagger if you just have one. I may have gone a little overboard." Holding up the old bandit dagger, "This one I got off a bandit we caught spying on us, it was my first dagger." Holding up a shiny new one, " This one I threw at a guy and hit him right in the spine it was great. Except he turned out to be a vampire so it didn't hurt him." Baker gasps and brings her hand to her mouth, "Oops I wasn't supposed to say anything about the vampire. I guess the inquisition is trying to avoid a public panic so, uh, don't spread the story around, okay? Be careful at night though, there's a vampire in town." Both soldiers eyes go wide when you mention the vampire and they both swear they won't spread rumors about it. But they both also wanna know what the gently caress is going on in Xoma that there's vampires running around.  45 and Baker crits. You happen to overhear some of Cannius and Vail's conversation and it's on the surface about what his opinions are ir2 the people who went, who can do what, who can work under stress, who was professional and who wasn't. It's completely deniable, but you can tell the elf is really asking him who's willing to do crimes, and is able to do them without getting caught.------------- Hipster Occultist posted:Tog makes a mental note, pay a poet to come up with better sounding oaths. Eye Cop is absolutely certain that you're telling the truth, and probably the inquisitors believe you too. This is the breakdown: right now the Inquisition is stretched thin. There's more going on than just the vampire and it's getting to be serious. They need help and are able to provide various kinds of mystical support, and specialist knowledge that is hard to get, and they're willing to deputize you. This would give you way wider than normal legal powers and leeway, but they have to be confident you guys are able to see this thing through, and they have to be sure nobody's going to abuse the power that comes with the office, or spread panic or reveal details to outsiders. They're willing to make it worth your while to help destroy the vampire. And the vampire is real. Somewhere in the necropolis, right this second, it's sleeping, waiting to prey upon the innocent again.  Stoner Sloth posted:>>Marlowe points out calmly and slowly, as if the inspectors were a little simple "Look, ya wanted us to what? Hand that thing over to a gate guard? Even after I told ya what it was, even being a trained professional... ya opened it to check, didn't ya?" they pause to see if the Eye Cop and co are following this so far "Now if I'd done as ya suggest then whatever that thing is, it woulda been unleashed by the person checkin' it. People would be dead now and that thing'd be loose." Yet the evil powers within the pot didn't hurt anyone. Because he opened it in a controlled environment. Mildew frames it like this: there are things in this world that don't adhere to everyday logic and your usual magical mumbo jumbo. Dangerous things. That pot could have been accidentally opened at any point, and nothing that occurred from that point on would have been any good. Gǔ is not poison in any normal sense. It's not an outside entity like a demon, but it's not merely a bound spirit, either. "Despite the fact that you're a detective, you've obviously been out of town for some time. Officer Galenos is right to be jumpy. Someone, or something, has been murdering guards." Eye Cop takes it from here. "Not just guards. Paladins. It started with Terminus's. You know them. They patrol the border between the wastes and Xoma's inner lands and do other things. They're not weak. And more than once they've been found dead in the road." Galenos is trying not to betray any emotion, but he's wound pretty tight about this. Stoner Sloth posted:>>"Also the vampire was able to turn themself into a cloud of glittering mist and then a single spark... and were able to resist powerful antimagic while doing it, strong enough to automatically shut down most supernatural powers or spells. And resist a blast of holy magic right to the face, mighta scarred them up a bit at least." they add. Skulky has the answer for this one. "It didn't turn itself into a cloud of anything. It was an illusion. The vampire's an illusionist." "Is there anything else you've got for us. Any other detail?" quote:>>"As for the vampire, well...." and the beholder proceeds to describe the creature's appearance and how closely it matches the fearsome, legendary fiend - enough that we were told it was The Dracula on sight! :P

Not only that I'm very familiar with that kinda shape shiftin' so they'd have had to get the details perfect. But if it's as ya say that might explain the vampire's appearance being a dead ringer, if you'll excuse the pun, for Dracula... by which I mean he looked exactly like descriptions I've seen, read and heard of him." >>The detective pauses for a moment, attempting to use all of their detective powers to remember any other details that might be important. "Obviously the guy had thralls, and was able to kinda mesmerize me briefly when I looked at him so he's got some kinda mind control magic. Also... if ya okay with me using eye magic here, I could try and project the perps image from one of my eyes... let ya judge what he looked like for yaself, if that's okay?"

That cloak had belonged to famed Moonmancer Joey Craters who was runnin' magic shows just before he had been mysteriously drained of his blood and left for dead in his hotel room.... And I didn't like his show! They didn't give out a discount for senior citizens and I had to pay full price! I've been subject to injustice after injustice that has never been investigated and Dracula has been at the center of all of them!'

SniperWoreConverse posted:"Jesus Christ" >>"Apologies for the dramatic entrance... bouncers were being difficult. Must have recognized me or something. Haha." they comment, a couple of their eyeballs looking over the damage to the door behind them, "Mostly just wanted to check that things had gone alright and report in with a couple of things. First off we're free to leave the city now, got offered work with the Inquisition to stop that vampire but didn't agree to it - at least as yet." >>Looking over to Corno they say "Got in touch with an old friend and asked her to pursue some leads on your case - got a bunch of contacts built up over the years in Carrine, Frigg and all over the place. Even one or two around Passwall that may be able to help. Figured I'd get them started looking for ya murderer's current whereabouts to make things quicker and stop the trail going any colder - should get a response in a couple of days and it might shave a lot of time off gettin' ya revenge if we know exactly where to head." >>Turning slightly to face Von they nod "Oh yeah, and figured that we should make arrangements for that payment ya were offerin'."

SniperWoreConverse posted:Corno also wants to know what the deal is and if you're gonna go avenge him or what >>Moving over to Corno's table and lowering her voice, "I don't know if you heard, but a few of us were attacked by a vampire last night. Well, more we attacked him, I guess. We didn't know he was a vampire at first, we thought he as just a regular guy committing murder in the streets. We hurt him, drove him off, but he's still out there." >>"We ruined his night. Hurt his plans. Spoiled his secrecy. We reported everything to the Inquisition, they are onto him, and that's going to make whatever he was planning harder. He might hold a grudge, he might come after us. In which case getting the gently caress out of town as soon as possible is a fantastic idea and we should probably leave right now, this morning." >>"But like Marlowe said, there's a wrinkle. The Inquisition has asked us to help with the investigation. If we do, we get some authority and prestige from being deputy inquisitors, or something like that. I'm not sure how far away from Xoma that authority carries, but if your target really is a witch then having that in our pocket could help. Inquisition helpers investigating an evil witch can get more help from local authorities than just a rag tag band of random folks. So what helps with that investigation more, getting started right now, or waiting another two weeks and having some kind of official badge? They might even have some witch-hunting tips that would help find her and catch her." >>"And of course there is still the vampire. If we pledge to help them, then they will brief us on vampire lore and equipment. Maybe provide some anti-vampire charms or something. If the vampire does try to get revenge that would be really great to have, you know? But maybe the vampire has already forgotten us, and the real risk is in going after him. " >>"Honestly I've been thinking of the pros and cons all night and it just makes my head spin. I'd appreciate any insights you might have, sir."

The toughs from outside open the door, step in, and yank the arrows out. Stoner Sloth posted:>>"Apologies for the dramatic entrance... bouncers were being difficult. Must have recognized me or something. Haha." they comment, a couple of their eyeballs looking over the damage to the door behind them, "Mostly just wanted to check that things had gone alright and report in with a couple of things. First off we're free to leave the city now, got offered work with the Inquisition to stop that vampire but didn't agree to it - at least as yet." "Payment, eh?" they clap their hands on whatever your shoulder-equivalent is and wave the still-sharp arrows towards your eyeballs suggestively. The tavern keeping guy is like "What the gently caress if you wanna kill each other fine just don't bust up the joint anymore than it is," and the two guys are like "cmon tom we're just fuckin' around here you don't gotta cry about it" and they go give the arrows back to their owners and sit at the bar. Even though it's like 9am or whatever. This is the kind of place that doesn't even have stools at the bar itself so nobody gives a poo poo. Von's all "well what do you want then?" Facebook Aunt posted:>>Moving over to Corno's table and lowering her voice, "I don't know if you heard, but a few of us were attacked by a vampire last night. Well, more we attacked him, I guess. We didn't know he was a vampire at first, we thought he as just a regular guy committing murder in the streets. We hurt him, drove him off, but he's still out there." Corno considers and then thinks you should do what's right. He's not going to get any undeader. More less not-dead? Honestly he doesn't know how it works but he's going to be sticking around until vengeance is complete. Doesn't mean he likes it though. Misha butts in and says if you guys don't kill the vamp then they'll just take matters into their own hands and do it. One of the guys leaning on the bar spins around and says if you don't let Corno die they'll take that matter into their own hands and do it themselves. "Sue, you're doing shots." "They call it brunch Mish. Have some loving class," and he spits on the floor.
