Yeah, you'd think so, but after you gave her the clap that one time, she's been really good about using protection.

Nice to know that I'm teaching people lessons. It warms my heart to know I'm having a lasting effect on people in a non viral way for a change

Post by **Louis de la Forêt** » Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:35 am

Yup. The viral effect didn't last, but the memory of it did.

Good to see the situation in the brothel is err...climaxing. Nice description of the drugs effects!

Post by **Dorian** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 12:50 pm

Not bad for someone with no previous experience with drugs eh. none at all. not a shred of experience. never ever. *Cough* yeah....

I must admit, writing about the opium was hard, having never been exposed to it before. I spent alot of time searching stuff online to get an idea of what it looks like, smells like etc. Wont be surprised if all my searches attract some heat and the cops come knocking on my door.

It worked. Never used it myself, though I've written a fair bit on the social/historical dimensiomns of it. De Quincy's Confessions of an English Opium Eateris also one of my three favourite books of all time. I'll probably have to write up an Opium nightmare for Ingmann just to get into the spirit of things.

Okay, mad props to Stone Magnet for writing that in German. I'm glad I'm not so rusty that I couldn't understand it.

(Yes, I'm a geek for foreign languages. Very un-American of me, I know.)

^ Very cool, glad someone could make sense of my stilted grammar.

Cheers man. My flatmates a swiss kiwi who speaks Deutsche, so I've been slowly learning. Unfortunately he wasn't awake to proofread that one, but I just checked and apparently my grammar is passable. Theres a big nod to Derleth's famous mis-translation I'm sure Montresor picked up.

Lesson for today kiddies.

Dont post when hung over

Post by **Stone Magnet** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 1:16 pm

Ooh ho! Looks like the situation in le brothel is heating up. Maybe Louis gets the first fracas of the game...

Post by **Louis de la Forêt** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 6:57 pm

I was hoping for simple intimidation.

Post by **Dorian** » Tue Mar 30, 2010 1:04 pm

Updated.

Due to my being occupied the last few days, I have deicded to bring Raphaelus back into the game earlier than planed, so Mike doesn't sit around aimless any longer.

Post by **Louis de la Forêt** » Tue Mar 30, 2010 7:16 pm

Ah-HA! We know your name is Stone "Mike" Magnet. And you're a kiwi. Now I should be able to find you with relative ease. How many Mikes can there be in New Zealand? It's such a small country, after all.

Creepy Stalker Vibe: check!

Dorian, just as an FYI, this whole thing is demonstrating the need to learn the local lingo. Once we're done with the bar scene, Louis will keep an eye out for opportunities to do so, either people within the camp who speak it, or helpful locals who are willing to teach it for something in trade. (For various definitions of "helpful" of course.) So if you can think of situations to slip that in, that'd be great.

Post by **Dorian** » Wed Mar 31, 2010 1:42 am

Well, in theory, you should be able to speak with most locals, depending on their level of vocab. You ARE dealing with pretty scum levels of people here, only really knowing broken local dialects. Raphaelus, earlier at the book store, had no issues dealing with those people. And the little man Ingmann spoke to earlier spoke a different language entirely. Also, the bouncer type is completely silent

I have no idea why i decided to make this encounter a mostly non speaking one. Just did. Rest assured that this shall not be a common occurrence.

For sure. Anytime. In fact I'm playing a gig at Dorian's work next Wednesday. And I've already linked to my bands myspace on this site. Let the stalking begin.

Except then... I read your next post wrong.

Louis de la Forêt wrote:Dorian, just as an FYI, this whole thing is demonstrating the need to learn the local lingo.

Indeed, your stalking would be helped by learning the local Kiwi slang. Particularly, try to roll your R's in a particular southern NZ style. De la Forrrrrrrret. Frrrrom Gorrrrre. But really...why would that be useful...unless...

Hrm. I'll take your Stalker Vibe, and raise you an Inappropriate Sexual Innuendo. Ah the French.

Post by **Louis de la Forêt** » Wed Mar 31, 2010 4:02 pm

What do you mean "inappropriate"? I asked nicely, and I wanted him to slip it in gently. It's not like I said "Hey, go ahead and shove that down my throat! Yeah. Surprise me. I'll close my eyes... <herk>" or anything.

Your Myspace is safe from me, though. I'm a Gravin Threndor purist, after all. The rest of the site is off-limits.

Post by **Dorian** » Mon Apr 12, 2010 3:50 am

A couple of replies up. My apologies for the lack of replies of late. life kinda got on top of me for a bit there. I should be able to reply frequently over the rest of the week.

Post by **Dorian** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 2:44 pm

On the discussion of rolls...

I use an online Dice roller. I was just doing Louis rolls for his response and as usual his luck struck...

Roll(1d100)+0:
99,+0
Total:99

Case in point.

EDIT: After this post I rolled another 99 then a 97 for Louis. At that moment I felt sorry for him, discarded the two rolls, and purchased a die roller for my phone. Louis is still failing badly, but at least not critically.

You cant say I am not a caring GM now.

Post by **Louis de la Forêt** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 10:26 pm

Sorry about leaving your unconscious kidnapped ass back there alone in a bar filled with cutthroats, Ingmann. I seem to have flubbed multiple perception rolls, one of them critically. As far as I know, you're just fine.

That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.
