Well - Tom reveals he's a saint. George reveals he's a witch... bit of a difference.
Character update for level 3 complete; will have gameplay post up soon. Level advancement summary:
Ok, so everyone is good with heading straight back to thw Walker manor, correct?
Fine by me.
I mean, I wanna check and see if we're being watched first and probably do something about that if we are but I'm not sure what rolls you want for that.

You could make a perception check, but it is possible that they have traced you to your home and Walker's already.
George, Dr. Westcott will also be attending this dinner, but at a later time that evening. He is a coroner and would be interested in helping you with your forensic study of the spawn corpse that rests in the cellar.
I'm going to give everyone a chance to RP the situation before I go into the next post about the forthcoming supper.

Theatre of the mind with simple maps for busy encounters seems nice. Speaking from experience, the most fun I had as an alchemist was when I could do clever things with bomb splash.
I've finally leveled Altair to 3. Now all I need to do is figure out what the plan is for this gang of hooligans I've managed to piss off.
Paying them is obviously out of the question, even if I could hypothetically scam various Londoners out of a collective sum of money that could be adequate.
Maybe with a little access to divine magic (I don't think George has let his cat out of the bag either) we can put the fear of God in them...
If I can convince Thomas to do that, anyway.
>:)
It wouldn't be too hard to convince Thomas to help you bluff them if you convince him it would be saving their lives. Even just a simple light spell cast on your blade and claiming it is the wrath of God might suffice.
I mean I can lie like a rug but I seriously doubt we can convince anyone Altair, of all people, has the favor of God.
...
Can... can Thomas do red light? I'm pretty sure Reagan knows where we can find some sulfur. I can take off my makeup and claim I applied a disguise for effect. Cardice was invented in 1835 so we could get some of that too, but he might be a little more unhelpful if we're making Altair look like a demon. If we can find a glassblower, scleral contact lenses are around at current period too, having first been made in Germany and published in a scientific journal, Archiv für Augenheilkunde, in March of 1888. Just a light coat of paint on a pair of lenses for scary looking eyes...
This is a bad idea but it's making me laugh.
I'll have a gameplay post up this evening.
They know of Fitz, now.
Odds are they'll come for him if you disappear.
When I get time, I'll come up with a plan for that eventuality.
If Altair can make Shane Crowley and his goons a problem of Lord Walker's, Edgar would be more than happy to go 'round their turf and instill in them a proper respect for the law.
Sorry I haven't been around much. I've been going through some stuff on my end that's made me really unmotivated. I'm hoping it'll loosen up soon, but we'll see.
No worries. I have big conversational posts that I am behind on. I hope that things improve for you.
I would like consensus on if we can go to East Sussex to visit the Herbarium.
I'm easy. Feel like I've been enough trouble.
Am I right that Revolver (5000gp) = £500 ?
Hopefully I can Lord Walker to throw in a few bullets.

No trouble at all. Yes, that is the correct price using the campaign exchange rate.
Currently Edgar's amenable to any course of action endorsed by Lord Walker; for now he feels more comfortable keeping his trap shut on any topic not involving the direct application of violence.
For the record, this sounds like a job for Altair!
I know that we took a break to level up, but is everyone around and still interested in continuing? Aside from George and Edgar.
Yeah. Sorry, it's been a busy week at the school I work at. We're ramping up for tests, so things are getting crazy and everyone is stressing. I'll try to be more on top of things, but I could be pretty spotty.
No worries. I also had a busy week. Things get hectic on the weekends sometimes and not always leisure. I will post the next post here and we'll see who shows up.
I had Edgar recover 6 HP overnight, assuming that George was able to provide 8 hours of long-term care throughout the afternoon/evening.
As an FYI I'm usually much less likely to post on weekends than on weekdays. I use them to try to unplug, unwind, and spend time in person with family/friends.
No worries. That can be a general policy if all agreed. I am behind now because of that storm last night. Killed the electricity.

Works for me.
Pardon the delay. I will post tomorrow.
thanks for the update :)
Is everyone ok if I fast forward to the seance that evening?
Fine by me. If George (or anyone else) wants to RP out an encounter w/Edgar we can just do it behind an
Apologies for the pace. I was/am trying to work on a map for the next encounter. Also, the seance will take some time to type up. I promise that it will be up tomorrow.
On another note, it appears that we have lost contact with the wonderful Altair. If I don't hear from him, I will NPC him for now.
@GMDbS Our candles have blown out, but how is the rest of the house lit? If Edgar goes charging out towards the greenhouse will he be able to see where he's going?
The rest of the house has gaslight which are set very low, but can be turned brighter by a small knob.
I've gotten confused. Should I post now or wait until the people before me in init have done so?
You can always post your combat actions out of order, as long as you use a heading like this >
Sorry all, on reflection I am reminded a little too much of Army of Darkness.
I fear this is a trap. Please procure an axe.
Yeah, sorry again all. You got this.
I learned to play under GMs who loved to use decoys and red herrings. Made me pretty suspicious.
I'm sorry. The forums bugged out for me, and weren't showing me updates for most of my games. I'll have a post up today.
No problem. RL has been extremely busy for me as well. @Reagan, do your bombs do fire damage?
Also, I will be camping this weekend. I will have to make phone posts when I can.
I'm going to have to drop this game. I just don't have the time to focus on my gaming right now, and I'm sorry about that.
I'm very sorry to hear this. I hope that things get better. Feel free to return in the future.
Sorry to hear that, Reagan.
Pardon the delay, a virus shut down every computer at work and gave us a ton of overtime work opportunities. Very frustrating.
Hey, two questions
1. Is Fitzroy up
2. How many actions to drag some of these flammable items to the fight?
1. Yes
2. If you don't attack this round, you can get them there.
Now we brace for impact, right?
Gas lamps are inside the house. If the fire don't spread, everyone should be ok.
I've lost track - whose turn is it.?
I've been really swamped at work. Apologies. Will post as soon as possible. I'm working throughout the weekend.
