EXEXCRUCIATION - a Noblilis PbP

[Jdvn1]

Once will turn to Chivalry. 'Would you care to go on a short... trip with me?'

David nods, "Sure, just give me a while to let the feast here wind down?" He finishes his food and goes out of his way to compliment the chef. "Keys, we do have to come up with a way to catch him, but not tonight I think. I will talk with the citizens to inform them of the danger." David speaks with Edward to prepare a public warning and then announces that he is finished with the feast -- although others are welcome to take their time.

Assuming Empty waits, David does tag along. "What are you thinking to do?"

 

[Charles Rampant]

Empty will have (since we are talking in past tense here, I think) kept his silence, and merely said, 'A way to solve this little dilemma'. He won't say anything more until he has successfully pulled off his stunt. He will watch to see Chivalry's reaction when the portal is created and David sees the man on the other side.

 

[Jdvn1]

David looks at the man and his room with curiosity. "Where is he? Some sort of basement? Underground, but surely not your own castle, Empty." Lesser Divination to know where that room is, assuming somewhere in this Chancel "And what is your intention, Empty? Why are we without our familia?"

 

[sophist]

Chivalry & empty engaged in conversation, so I won't interfere here.
<btw, after careful study in the book I realized that major changes cost more than major creation, but well I let things stand as they are. I found another way to make your power use relevant but not quite "solve adventure" ).

Edwards says:
"At your service, Mylady. Which one do you want to see first?"

The troubadour:
"My name is Rembrecht, Simon.
It is not that technology does not work in the chancel, but that old nobles insisted on keeping the chacelfolk from technology. That makes them easier to rule and oversee. Also it keep the phenomenon of always unfilled desire that plagues humans in the modern prosaic world away. Also for many things we don't need technology. We have magic.
But there is a weird techno cult in Derr. Memebers wear modern suits in secrect and such nonsense. One more argument that techology is not only a boon. Even I sometimes have the desire for the simple life. Then I go and visit my parents."

"I do not know the location, but this is a doorway that leads directly to that man. He is, or should be, the one who we heard about earlier. And our familia... surely it does not take 4 Nobles to apprehend one human? The greatest of them is but a gnat in the presence of the least of us." Once pauses to look at the human again. Has he noticed the doorway?

 

[sophist]

No, he has not. Since your short path through your magical void is more of an absence
and not directly in the light of the lamp, chances are he won't even when glancing in your direction. A longer look will however reveal you.

"My name is Rembrecht, Simon.

Simon is taken a little aback by the troubadour's comments. He finds it awful that the former nobilis wanted to control the chancelfolk so, on the other hand, he remembers quite vividly being a man of unfulfilled desires. He never thought to ascribe that to technology, though. He'll definitely talk with his familia about that.
Then something in Rembrecht's words makes him snap.
"Modern suits? Like jackets and ties? Are they bitter with how the nobilis used to rule the chancel, and their decisions about technology? I may need to find them, Rembrecht, and soon! Oh, and... by the way... If I wanted to learn everything about the chancel magic, who should I ask?"

 

[Jdvn1]

Did you not notice my attempt at a divination, sophist? Or does it not work? Or would it help if I put this ooc talk in another color or something? Like this?

David nods, "While it is true that apprehending this gentleman is a basic task, I always value the ideas and opinions of our familia when available. No matter, though."

Do I think I can run in, grab him, and run out without him making much noise?

"At your service, Mylady. Which one do you want to see first?"

"I think," says Alyra with the best grace she can muster, "it might be best to speak to the lady first."
