Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cypherblade" data-source="post: 9858747" data-attributes="member: 7048389">A bit of badly documented session, prepping the voyage to Danor and Vendricce[spoiler]Lord Price-Hill strongly impresses upon us that we must not go so far as to get ourselves captured. Intelligence gathering takes priority—preferably in the form of documents, or possibly even a kidnapping if the opportunity presents itself. Infiltrating the planned meeting itself seems, to him (and to us), far too dangerous.The journey will take a week, which gives us ample time to establish contact with the Obscurati.“We could simply find their rings with Locate Object,” Ayleen suggests.Felix counters that the rings are specifically warded against detection.Unfortunately, he is correct.Stover Delft is appointed acting director of the RHC now that Lady Saxby has disappeared. Lauryn cannot remain, so we will have to prepare the journey ourselves. We have seven to eight weeks before we board the train.Kane allocates part of the budget to acquire a +1 breastplate and a +1 shield.Other equipment can be supplemented as needed.The train journey takes six days, and each evening stop is in a Danoran enclave with hotels and proper accommodations.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">First class: half a carriage with four beds, a private salon, and access to the dining car.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Second class: compartments for six, no beds, but still access to the dining car.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Coach: simply seating.</li> </ul>[HR][/HR]<h3>31 Autumn 500 AOV</h3>That evening we are assigned to guard the gala at the museum. Rock Rackus has invited himself and, naturally, brought along a number of fans and groupies.Staf shakes his hand—subtly checking whether he is wearing an Obscurati ring. He also questions Rock about his supposed journey to the moon.Rock claims he found a scroll in the basement of a library in some ruin. On the moon, during what he describes as an “orgy,” he allegedly seduced the Queen of the Fey, who rewarded him with his golden pistol. Of course, he cannot remember exactly where this happened—somewhere near the ziggurat in the Malice Lands.He also points out artifacts recovered during that expedition. Bergeron had a golden seal shipped to Danor; Finona Duval was involved as well. That ziggurat apparently had something to do with fire.Ayleen casts Detect Magic and Detect Planar Energy, but senses no significant magical items or any strong traces of recent planar energies.Preparation for the InfiltrationEach week, each member may contribute 1 action point(Maximum of 35 if everyone contributes consistently; crafting time does not count as contribution.)Action points may be spent on:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Secrecy: How we keep our preparations within the RHC concealed.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">False Identities: The quality and resilience of our covers on the train.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Contingencies: Additional plans for complications along the journey.</li> </ul>[/spoiler]</blockquote>
