You add +2 to your wealth per level, did you dd that in?

I have no idea. It's been years since I leveled. I know it's changed over the years.

OOC: Yeah, no kidding. I have a wealth bonus of 9.

Also, I apparently have 25 action points that I never use! Are those used to add +1d6 to a d20 roll?

"I should restock on supplies. I'm still well-rested from before, at least. Are there any materials I should look to acquire that can help with protection?"

Elizabeth wants to replenish her shot and powder.

"That would be prudent. I'm frankly surprised this went as well as it did, which makes me think they're trying to lull us into a trap."

OOC: 3,500 XP would get me to level 6.

Hopefully you're able to find a good solution. My cousin is dealing with an old PC that suddenly died.

"I know Personal Ward, but not Mental Ward."

OOC: I have to wait to gain a level to learn it, by spending skill points, right?

"On the way into town, we killed some ghouls that were picking our people off. I'm not sure if they're from the same pack or not, but I'd hardly consider that murder. My guess is he's referencing my initial incursion into their territory and leading our assault on their tombs. This all started when I followed some suspicious-looking people to see where they were going. I'm capable of being quite discreet when scouting."

Robby?  You ok?

Sorry. I have the week off and I'm in the states on vacation. I haven't really turned on my laptop all week.

"I'm assuming he said that because we instigated the attack. I have killed other creatures in the past before we came, but mostly troglodytes and spider creatures that wore human skins as disguises."

OOC: Again, I might be forgetting something.

"The haxan? Nothing before coming here, although it's possible I encountered agents of them. They haven't made any overtures directly."

OOC: If I'm forgetting anything, it's not Elizabeth's intention to lie.

"Two days is fine by me."

If they leave shortly after, Elizabeth says to James, quietly: "That went significantly better than expected. I'd assumed they ghouls would want some sort of blood payment for their losses. When they mentioned 'payment', I was worried.

Still, I wouldn't assume this means this is all behind us, or that such a generous offer isn't a distraction from something... worse. We should stay vigilant over this next week, and beyond.

...I'm also worried about their suggestion to use me as a go-between. I've heard they've had their eyes on me for some time..."

Elizabeth was about to volunteer before either said anything, so she responds perhaps a bit too quickly.

"Agreed. I was a constable at my old town, but this city is large and I'm less well known."

She then thinks to Niemand's warning, hoping she's not crossing a dangerous threshold.

"...A lot of my job was to protect those in the town from such threats, and conceal what I could.

...

So, James, we are to explain to the townsfolk why they cannot bury their dead so that we can move past this, then I shall meet with you"
, she looks toward the woman "or another representative to discuss common threats? I'll be sure to confer with my colleagues about anything with which I'm currently unfamiliar. When would you next like to meet?"

Elizabeth nods to what James says, and then asks the woman:

"Are there any other creatures around with which you have an alliance that we should not be looking for? I'd hate to go through all of the trouble of forming a truce only to break it on accident."

Elizabeth doesn't let that last bit provoke her. She knows it's somewhat true. She looks to James:

"Do you think we can sell this? The problem is, in order to get everyone to see it as the best outcome, we probably need to let them know more than we may want to... Of course, they've probably found quite a bit out over the last couple days."

She looks toward the woman: "Is this palatable to you? I know you've had an agreement earlier..."

"It will certainly be unpalatable to the populous, even if it's by far the most logical choice to make...

...Perhaps we could soften the blow by allowing them to perform last rites ceremonies on the dead. I'm honestly not that well versed in the religious traditions most people."


She looks toward the ghoul: "Last rites wouldn't do anything to affect you from consuming the bodies, would it?"

Elizabeth nervously looks toward James for a reaction, and back at the ghoul.

"...How much?"

Elizabeth looks toward the ghoul as it speaks.

"While not wanting everyone to die, I do agree that any bluster is pointless. In an all out war, I imagine any victory would be pyrrhic for whomever wins, so... everyone loses.

I apologize for my invasion into your territory. At the time, I had no idea about the history of any alliances. I think without the establishment of any ground rules, we're looking at a spiraling war with terrible costs for everyone involved."


She looks to James: "I think our biggest task is going to be keeping the locals from gathering pitchforks and torches and hurriedly marching toward their own deaths."

"How do we curb these... ambitions? If we want to keep there from being a full out war, both sides need to believe they can exist unmolested by the other.

I can understand keeping their existence a secret to keep an unrulily mob from forming, but it seems like this problem was just waiting to happen."

Elizabeth does her best not to flinch.

"Apart from mere words, what assurances can each side offer to make sure there are no transgressions? Was there an agreement put in place, before?"

"If they stay... separate, does their condition spread, or can the humans on the surface remain both in peace and unchanged?"
