Silver Princess #8 afternoon 5/1/2215 - My Lady's Heart - 7 CP

Rollo:Ballroom?
Saya:I was saying earlier I think it would be good to explore that gardens.
Rollo:Lead on Sword Saint!
Ulfdin:Goooo!
Rollo:Rollo hefts his mighty weapon and grins in admiration at his hero
Simon N. (GM):You've just been having lunch with Aliegha in the temple after reporting to Cathrandamus. You can go through doors opposite to the ballroom or south to gardens?
Saya:I vote south to the gardens
Ulfdin:Im happy with South
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha: "For the gardens, it's best to approach from the east tunnel - the Ubues keep watch on the west tunnel."
Saya:Ok. Let's go carefully then.
Rollo:Let me lead, my danger sense has sharpened
Saya:Ok, Rollo ahead, Ulfdin will you guard the rear?
Simon N. (GM):GM: You head out and south, Aliegha & Rollo in front, her three barbarians bringing up the rear.
Rollo:Rollo stalks forward carefully
Ulfdin:I'm at the back
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha leads you east and south. Daylight filters in through high windows in the long corridor ahead (bottom of map).
At the T-junction you head cautiously west.

Saya:What was that?
Rollo:Its quiet...too quiet
Simon N. (GM):Ahead you see double doors to the right - into the throne - and just past those, sunlight filtering in to the left through ancient gates. Suddenly out of the gloom ahead emerge strange creatures...
Ulfdin:SHIELD WALL!!
Simon N. (GM):Big, three headed, hideous Beastmen - Ubues!
Rollo:Rollo looks around for the shield he doesn't have. Curses!
Saya:My faith in my sword is shield enough for me!
Simon N. (GM):They must have been alerted earlier to your approach.

Saya:I think so.
Rollo:Take the troll down sword saint!
Saya:I'll spend another hero point.
Simon N. (GM):>>Parry blows aimed at his comrades if possible?<< You'd need to have declared that at the start of your turn - 1 action per parry
Rollo:(Ok boss)
Saya:Oh I thought it was start of my turn?
Simon N. (GM):yes Saya your go
Saya:So I can spend another HP?
Simon N. (GM):yup

Saya:I'm not sure how Saya is going to follow up that mythical attack of Rollo's!
Ok I won't bother spending a HP this time, since there's only one left.
Simon N. (GM):It seems to be arguing with itself in Urgan, the Beastman tongue.
Saya:Can any of us understand Urgan?

Saya instead of attacking you could try to get it to surrender (would be Command)
Saya:Well Saya's code of honour means she won't attack something that hasn't obviously threatened or attacked her first, so yes she will try to do that.
I'll use a HP as well.

Rollo:you were talking to yourself aain
Ulfdin:We should finish off the wounded ones
Simon N. (GM):"No Lady!"
Saya:NO!
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha: "Hold, Ulfdin!"
Rollo:i thought you were hahahaha
wha?
Saya:They have surrendered, if you want to kill any more you'lll have to go through me.
Rollo:Are you sure?
Ulfdin:Ulfdin spits and walks away
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha: "Ubue, you need to stop attacking the warriors of Cathrandamus! You are no match for us! We do not wish to kill your people!"
Saya:Yes. I'm not entirely sure this wasn't a senseless slaughter to start with.
Rollo:tssk
im going for an ale
Ulfdin:Ulfdin keeps walking
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha: "Listen to Saya, Ubue! We only need to search the rooms around here. Tell your people to take their wounded and leave us alone!"
Saya:I'm sure this is the first time they have actually had a conversation, rather than just hacking eachother to bits!
Simon N. (GM):The 3 other barbarians look like they agree with Ulfdin, but won't defy Aliegha.
The Ubue looks fearful and nods. "Me tell 'em!"
Saya:Make sure you do! And keep an eye out for that red stone.
Rollo:why dont we ask the tribe?
Simon N. (GM):It nods. Getting to its three feet it scrambles off west down the tunnel.
Rollo:one of them must know something
Saya:Well we've got free rein to explore now without being attacked, so it's a good idea.
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha: "If they have it, they won't give it up." She turns to the three barbarians: "Keep an eye on our rear, in case they want a rematch!"
Rollo:lead on McSaya
Simon N. (GM):GM: You now have a clear path to the throneroom or garden. Looking through garden gates you see stairs down, it's very overgrown - https://i.somethingawful.com/u/elpintogrande/september10/silverprincess/silverprincess_12.gif
"This garden is overgrown with weeds. The paths
have disappeared into the underbrush, and the
only statue is now completely grown over with
thick purplish vines. Water can be heard, but not
seen."
Saya:I think it's worth exploring the garden first.
Rollo:Rollo swaggers forward great axe resting on a his meaty shoulder
Simon N. (GM):GM: Aliegha nods. Saya leads the way down the steps into the overgrown garden.
Ulfdin:I bimble along behind muttering to myself
Rollo:stop sulking ulfdin
skulk dont sulk
Ulfdin:Ulfdin sticks two fingers up
Rollo:hahahaha
thats the spirit
Saya:Don't worry, I'm sure we can find something else for you to hack away at soon enough!
These vines in the garden, for one thing!
Simon N. (GM):You look around - you can check either Medicine/Herbalism or Survival/Tracking - let me know which

Simon N. (GM):20 - Rollo identifies the purplish vines as belonging to a Mithraic Bloodsucker, a dangerous carnivorous plant. Saya thinks some of the bushes with needle sharp leaves look dangerous too. Rollo detects the water sounds as coming from the south-east corner of the garden.
Ulfdin:Should have gone to the thron e room
Simon N. (GM):Beyond the high garden walls, the ice of the Tjokren glacier looms high above, but here it is still quite pleasantly warm.
Saya:Probably best to leave this plant alone!

Rollo:we should back up
Ulfdin:Back up sword and shield ready
Rollo:lets toss the flesh eating plant some of the ube carrion
it can snack on the three headed ubes trolls
rather than us
Simon N. (GM):The Bloodsucker likes to grasp and smother its victims and drink their blood... You back up the stairs. You see the vines creeping to the base of the stairs.
Ulfdin:What the wounded ones?
Rollo:the dead will still be warm
some of the wounded ware so bad they wont complain
Ulfdin:Wounded nes will be warmer
Simon N. (GM):They like living victims with heart still beating...
Rollo:Saya's not lookin Ulfdin. Nows the time ;-D
Saya:Hehe
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha: "We said they could recover their dead - that we would leave them in peace!"
Rollo:dead ones it is
Ulfdin:Maybe you want to feed them then, lady
Saya:Let's just get out of this garden as quickly as possible.
Rollo:but you wanted to search it?
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha looks fearfully at the plant monster. "I agree with Saya!"
Saya:Yes and we found something!
Rollo:lets have a ood old bonfire
Saya:Saya will quickly start moving back up the way they came.
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha: "This is not wholesome - a foul creation of sorcery! We should leave it."
Aliegha falls back alongside Saya to join her men at the top of the stairs.

Rollo:say the werebear in an enchanted palace. Really Aliegha what did you expect from you life choices?
alright, alright im coming
Simon N. (GM):the ubues are still lying there as you back out of the garden steps into the corridor. Aliegha: "I never chose to be a werebear!"
Ulfdin:"The werebear life chose me!"
Rollo:but you do it so well. shoots Ulfdin the look
Ulfdin:HAHAHAHA
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha: "Before Cathrandamus found me I was in despair! A wretched monster! He took me in..."
"...He saved me!" She glares at Ulfdin & Rollo.
Ulfdin:Snigger!
Rollo:come on dear lets not beat around the bush, not now we have left the garden
Simon N. (GM):LOL
Rollo:where would you like to explore next? Roll flashes his best and most insincere grin :-D
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha goes over to the throneroom doors and throws them open...
Rollo:thats the spirit
Simon N. (GM):Across from the double doors of this huge room
stands a massive, hand carved wooden throne
upon a dais. Two statues of warriors, one to either
side of the throne, stand as silent guardians. In the
center of the room are two huge columns. There
are fire places on both the east and the west wall.
Simon N. (GM):Tapestries hang on the north wall. They record
scenes of pomp and procession, royal galas and
feasts once held in great halls. In the southeast
and southwest corners are two more statues,
duplicates of the ones guarding the throne.
Rollo:impressive
Saya:Be careful! We've come across dangerous statues before!
Ulfdin:Hmmm Statues.........
Simon N. (GM):Sunlight filters in from intact windows high above, dust motes dancing in the beams.
Saya:I would like to do a Lore check please, to find out more about the tapestries.

Simon N. (GM):The tapestries depict the elven nobility of the Silver Valley - now the Valley of Scorn. There is a depiction of a battle where many elves fall battling Beastmen, and a young girl - Argenta - becomes Queen.
Rollo:The Elf Wars, hmm
Simon N. (GM):There are some bloodstains on the floor. Aliegha: "When we were here before, Ubues followed us in - we killed several and fell back."
Rollo:indeed
Simon N. (GM):No obvious dangers.
Rollo:takes a practice swing with axe

Saya:obvious being the word!
I will very cautiously go to examine one of the statues.
Ulfdin:Ulfdin walks in
Not so cautiously......
Simon N. (GM):To the right of the throne is a tapestry depicting happy dwarf slaves presenting Argenta with a massive ruby.
The statue is of a stern glaive armed elf warrior in chain cuirass.
The tapestries reach from near ceiling to floor.
Ulfdin:Glaive y'say
Rollo:This is nonsense the dwarves i know would never be happy as slaves to elves. Unless they were sex slaves of course.
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha: "The elves are very handsome..."
Saya:Saya agrees!
Simon N. (GM)::D
Ulfdin:Its a picture, woman!
Rollo:and dwarves like a good looking queen
dont they Ulfdin?
Ulfdin:Hahahahahahahaha
Saya:I'll go and explore the throne next.
Simon N. (GM):Princess Argenta - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhckdoL4L5V7hOt4e41Doev25DFQa0PudhZza34hrGIyyhpUbUN1i5fb8dATIQdue3Qzgc7-M4lkAKTFZiBQgYVg2QwU8aiXHrYIfpYDJiSsVgLL9UzJFekEE5kLXet5HNjvH_UgBEk-HQ/s320/78058fcd936a1fd94af0e9b28d1a2336.jpg
Rollo:blimey i'd be her slave
Simon N. (GM):The throne is of a dark wood, likely from beyond the northern mountains, finely carved.
Rollo:this is nimothan oak
Ulfdin:Aye
Rollo:Rollo sits in the throne , one le cocked over the side
*leg
Saya:I'll try to examine the throne for any secret catches or drawers.
Simon N. (GM):The throne is a little small for Rollo's bulky frame.
OK Saya roll Perception
Rollo:Ulfdin...Im stuck

Rollo:wait what was that noise?
Simon N. (GM):You hear movement outside, and Ubue voices!
Rollo:Back for more eh?
Ulfdin:Told you we should have killed them!
Rollo:Nods
shrugs
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha's men ready their battle axes, but the Ubues don't enter - you hear the sound of them lifting their fallen.
Rollo:hes right
Ulfdin:SHIELD WALL
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha: "Hold! They're recovering their wounded!"
Rollo:looks disconsolate
Ulfdin:To heal them and come back and kill us!!
Saya:Saya lets out a deep sigh.
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha looks unsure - she looks to Saya.
Ulfdin:When they chop your legs off dont come running to me!
Saya:If they come back to kill us my blade will have something to say, but until then we have to assume they will keep their word.
Ulfdin:Still should have killed them.....
Rollo:The Blade Speakers words ring true brother
Lets ask them if they have seen this maical gem we have been searching for
Ulfdin:Im not talking to a three headed thing!
Simon N. (GM):oh btw you can spend an HP to get a clue or lucky break :)
Rollo:me neither, wouldn't get a word in
Ulfdin:Exactly especially if one was a female!
Rollo:I have one left. I'll do it DM
Simon N. (GM):ok an errant breeze stirs the tapestry to right of the throne, Rollo glimpses something odd about the wall behind it...
Rollo:whats that?
Simon N. (GM):The Ubues are carrying off their wounded.
Rollo:behind the wall hanging there?
Ulfdin:Whats what Rollo
Rollo:After all the yonder wall...
Ulfdin:Go over and have a look
Rollo:and after all, the yonder wall!
Simon N. (GM):The tapestry looks quite normal.
Ulfdin:Behind the tapestry
Saya:Something on the wall behind it though?
Rollo:aye and after all Yonder Wall
perhaps there is an oasis behind?
Simon N. (GM):To the right of the throne is a tapestry depicting happy dwarf slaves presenting Argenta with a massive ruby.
Ulfdin:Fnar fnar
Rollo:isnt that what we are looking for?
Simon N. (GM):>>Ulfdin:Behind the tapestry<< Is Ulfdin lifting the tapestry to look behind it?
Ulfdin:Yes
Simon N. (GM):He sees the door concealed behind the tapestry.
Rollo:rp it down man
Ulfdin:Rip it down
This door is called Dave
Simon N. (GM):ok roll Brawling Ulfdin

Ulfdin:Could be
Simon N. (GM):it's hooked up pretty solidly but Ulfdin manages to bring it down with a crash as the rail gives way.
Rollo:ask Dave
Simon N. (GM):You see clearly now the white-washed outlines of the door, with a fairly obvious latch.
Ulfdin:Open it
Rollo:whats inside?
Simon N. (GM):The door swings outwards, revealing a dusty unlit tunnel, 40' long with a sturdy door at the far end. You can roll survival or perception

Rollo:ax in ight hand left hand to use the lever
Simon N. (GM):The ancient door grinds open, revealing a 20x20 chamber, unlit but free of dust, smooth marble floor in pink & white.
A single pedestal with a glass case on top of it
stands in the middle of this room. A small brown
box with strange runes carved into it is inside the
glass case.
Ulfdin:Got to be it
Rollo:wizards work no doubt
Saya:Can any of us read the writing?

Rollo:crouches and says is this it
Ulfdin:"He who dares wins, Rodney"
Rollo:all we have striven for
Simon N. (GM):As Ulfdin touches the glass, two shimmering entwined figures appear, dancing...
Rollo:wha
Simon N. (GM):the Silver Princess and the warrior in Silver and Blue.
Ulfdin:Fu.....
Rollo:she is very pretty
Simon N. (GM):They stop, as if becoming aware of intrusion, and turn to Ulfdin.
You can see right through them.
Ulfdin:Draw sword and scowl
Simon N. (GM):Their handsome features change as they distort in anger and hatred!

The Princess starts to fade away.
Aliegha breathes heavily, lowering her blade.
OOC sorry for anticlimax, OTOH w/out Aliegha's sword you'd be dead >:)
Saya:So, it seems after all that your blade cannot cut down an innocent. That is as it should be.
OOC very true!
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha looks puzzled at Saya. "I... get the Ruby and let's be done. This sits ill with me."
Ulfdin:Hmmm
Rollo:Hang on a minute bear lady?
Simon N. (GM):Princess Argenta fades away, back to the nether realms.
"Yes Rollo?"
Rollo:No the moment has passed
lad on
lead on
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha looks to Saya.
Ulfdin:Ulfdin raisese an eyebrow and looks at Rollo
Saya:That ruby is aptly coloured, we have waded through much blood and sorrow to obtain it.
Rollo:blood red
Simon N. (GM):Aliegha: "Open the case - the box..."
Ulfdin:Ill open it
Simon N. (GM):GM: Ulfdin opens the glass case & takes the box.
Rollo:Rollo watches from over Aliegha's shoulder
Simon N. (GM):Opening the box, inside on a blue velvet pillow is a perfect cut egg-shaped ruby, a full inch across.
Ali: "My Lady's Heart."
Saya:That thing is surely cursed, the reason why malignant frost is engulfing this place. You are welcome to it.
Simon N. (GM):Ali: "Cathrandamus will bring it to the Temple of Nergal in Nith. There will be much rejoicing... those who aided him will be richly rewarded."
Ulfdin:Close the box. Lightly throw it to the bear woman "Catch"
Simon N. (GM):Ali catches the box, and puts it in her backpack. "Thanks."
Ali: "Let us be gone, before the Ubues change their minds..."
GM OOC ok want to stop there for tonight
Ulfdin:Mutters "Should have killed them...."
Simon N. (GM):OK you get 7 CP each
Saya:Woo hoo! Thanks Simon!
Ulfdin:Huzzah
Rollo:thanks for a great game Simon. Huzzah!
Simon N. (GM):You each get +1 HP, and for making the mission much easier Saya gets +1 HP for the peace w the Ubues
Saya:Saya is getting a bit emo but all of this is starting to really go against her code, so.
Cheers!
Simon N. (GM):Thanks guys, fun game, well done :)
Ulfdin:Thanks mate. Thanks all!
Simon N. (GM):I think mixing hacking & diplomacy key to this adventure :D
Saya:Great game Simon, thank you!]
Ulfdin:Great fun. Liked playing a nutter
Rollo:if the gauntlet fits Rich
Ulfdin:Tis true
Simon N. (GM):without Aliegha or the Warrior's sword (which went off with Vethra when we switched to online) pretty impossible as ghosts immune to normal weapons
Ulfdin:And I had such a good Init roll.......
Saya:I was wondering whether Saya's sword is normal or magical?
Simon N. (GM):Currrently you all have non magical weapons AFAIK
Saya:Got it
Night night all, got to go as i am knackered. See you all next time: I can't do Tuesday 5th of May but can do Thursday 7th if possible?
Simon N. (GM):I guess you could have grabbed the ruby and ran with ghosts chasing you, Scooby Doo style :D
Rollo:btw i found they whisper code its /w then the character's name or DM
Ulfdin:Wondered how you did that!
Rollo:Nite Jelly - great game!
Ulfdin:Catch you tomorrow Matt. See you later Simon and jelly
*Jelly
Simon N. (GM):I'll discuss next session on FB, think Thursday evening prob not good for me
Bye all :)
