"All I'm saying is that we can keep the Doc in custody until the dust settled, but his girlfriend needs to be as well. Then I say we pay a visit to Lebrix."


Shot Putter Funkmeister

The doctor says, 'Less get Professorin Kindleton und get me mein visa. Then we can go to Ber togetsher...."

"To the professor it is, then." Cretien says, shifting gears.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Those that chose to go to Kindleton's jump in a carriage and make their ways to her apartment near the university. You make your way up to the third floor of her building and proceed to knock on the door. She answers the door after the third knock and she weeps with
joy as she is reunited with Wolfgang, the doctor.

And says, "I thought you were dead. I received an unsigned note extending their condolences to me. But you are alive."


I don't think we would have let the doctor out of RHC...

"All right, let's head back to RHC now. May we see the letter? Who delivered it?"


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Kindleton whimpers and then says, "I came home from my first period class today and it had been slid under my door."

Wolfgang then says, "Wese needs to go to Ber and leave as we spoke about."

Kindleton says,"I cannot just leave in middle of the semester which is what I told you about before you went into hiding. I cannot ruin my reputation in academia to go to the land of minotaurs..."

does Cretien think he could take over the Professor's classes if he had to go? if so he would offer to stay and teach the class while the professor goes with the doctor


Shot Putter Funkmeister

[ooc] She is a professor of surgery and biology[ooc]


Falko rolls his eyes. He likes to watch couples go at it as much as anyone else, but not on such an occasion.

"Professor, they tried to kill the Doc, and will perhaps target you next... Reputation doesn't trump living, no?"


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Kindleton says, "They think he is dead then I should be able to stay here in peace. You should have time to stop them isn't that what we pay our taxes for to have the RHC protect us from such people?"


"They think he's dead for now... They think we're also dead, but we're coming after them sooner or later, so it's likely that, by the same extent, they start wondering about the good doctor here...In any case, are you saying you don't want to go with him? Because he can't stay. If so, then we'll give you a few minutes to say farewell then we'll whisk the doc away..." Falko replies, a bit tense.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Kindleton says, I would like to go with him but it needs to be proper. Wolfi, you know I love you but in our circle I need to finish out the semester and let Pardy have time to find a replacement for me."

She then kisses him on the cheek and says. "Go! before they realize you ARE alive and then get me and Dr. Camp killed."


Falko moves away from them and looks the other way while they say farewell.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

to lebrix?


To Lebrix!


Stephan DeWir (Black Market Arms Dealer) Hp 53/53 AC 25 (+7 Perc; +1 Init; Fort +2, Ref +3, Will +4)

it is indeed the plan :)


Shot Putter Funkmeister

After a somewhat awkward goodbye smooch, a crestfallen Wolfgang oins you in a carriage that takes you to the haunt of the Danoran Security chief Lebrix.

The bar filled with a good deal of Danoran expats and others, you end up leaving Wolfgang in the carriage and meet Lebrix, who seems to be drinking a triple Danoran rye whiskey and he sees you before you see him and he smiles and says,

Danoran Common

Spoiler:
"Professor Dufresne, great to see you again. "

He speaks Primordial to the rest of you, "Constables, how may I be of service?"

Cretien smiles as well, please to hear his own language once more.

Danoran:

"And good to see you again. And have you been well? Lucky to be alive, myself."

Cretien orders a drink, danoran whiskey.


In Danoran, Falko orders the same as Lebrix. He nods at Lebrix, but lets Cretien start the conversation.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Common

Spoiler:
"Thanks for the tip about the Achaz trying to kill me. I have already found one bomb in my apartment. So now I am changing flop houses every night in order to not get killed. Have you found those lizardfolk, yet?"


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Lebrix says "Mon amis, How can I help you?"


Tiefling map Armiger (Machinehead) 9/ Aristocrat 1 // AC 26/22/15 / HP 62/84 / F +10 R +11 W +9 / Init. +3 / Perc. +15 / Sense Motive +13

"Oh, a friend is looking to visit the old country. I was hoping maybe you could arrange something. Something safe."


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Lebrix says, "A friend wants to visit Danor. Hmmm, do you have his passport?"


Tiefling map Armiger (Machinehead) 9/ Aristocrat 1 // AC 26/22/15 / HP 62/84 / F +10 R +11 W +9 / Init. +3 / Perc. +15 / Sense Motive +13

"I forgot to ask. Might you want to meet him? You two may have much to discuss."


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Lebrix now intrigued says,"Well, professor, whom do you want me to meet?"


Falko has numerous questions burning in his mind, especially regarding the revelations found in the doc's papers, but he sees the value in Cretien's approach and lets him weave things at his own pace.


Tiefling map Armiger (Machinehead) 9/ Aristocrat 1 // AC 26/22/15 / HP 62/84 / F +10 R +11 W +9 / Init. +3 / Perc. +15 / Sense Motive +13

"If you'd accompany me, that would be preferable. He is very concerned for his safety."


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Lebrix says, "Let me finish my drink and I will come with you."

He finishes his drink and then pays his bar tab and walks out with Chretien and Falko into the street.

He sees the Doctor and says, "Dr. von Recklinghausen, I presume. You are a much sought after man. So, constables, you want me to get him a visa to Danor, that cannot be true, he was looking for a visa to Ber. The Danoran consulate handles the passport regulations for some of the Malice States. If I am not mistaken, he just needed an exit stamp then he could proceed."

sorry i am confused somewhere.

"Could you elaborate? Geography and law are regrettably areas in which i have studied very little."


Shot Putter Funkmeister

MAPZG

In a general sense it is similar to say Monaco with France or Liechtenstein and Switzerland, basically the Malice States are a bunch of little principalities, democracies or whatever but they aren't large enough to have consulates everywhere and if they were big enough to have an embassy it would only be in Slate, the capital of Risur.

Lebrix says, "The doctor comes from Arrovia, don't you?"

The doctor shrugs compliance then says, "Lebrix you vere from zhe dokumentes, veren't you?"

This should be interesting! thinks Falko as he studies Lebrix's reaction.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

"This is the only Lebrix I know of, so if he was mentioned in the papers then it's likely him. What did they say?"


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Lebrix looks to the ground and thinks about it for a second and says, "Those documents that were stolen, were part of an investigation I was working on a month or so ago. I had found some discrepencies going on with Danoran businesses operating in Flint and that a lot of them were being bought by some underhanded investors for some extremely large project with an affiliation with the Flint city government. My consular requested I stop the investigation and had my documents put in a safe so I couldn't continue. When I was younger I would have pushed the issue more but I have a wife and kids and grandchildren, I really cannot afford to look for new work now with me so close to pension."


"So how did the docs find their way to the doc?" asks Falko, turning towards the doc.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

The doctor responds, i s gotten zhem from the fliegende haĺbelf woman who got shot. .


Back to her again... Too bad she was long past when I saw her body...

"Ok, so Lebrix, tell us more about your investigation. We already have the paper, and it's quite scary to be honest!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

" I certainly understand, Lebrix. Wait... Doctor did you arrange to have them stolen?"


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Lebrix says, "There were a lot of discrepencies and I spent a lot of time following the differing threads but I was ordered off of the investigation by Consular DuNambria before I could connect the dots and figure out what was/is really going on and who were/is involved. I assume you have the papers and am glad somebody will be able sort it out. The killing at our consulate was tragic but that woman was stealing important documents with the aim of dragging Danor's name through the mud."

The doctor answers Chretien, "No, I vas only in zhe Konsulat to get my exit visa. Vhile in zhe vaiting room I spake with her mostly small talk and then vas leaving to get my document notarized and zhen the woman flew and impaled herself on zhe gate and zhe shadow man shot at me twice. No, I did not"

"And your intent with the papers?" he asks, looking at both of them.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Lebrix says, "My intent was to get to the bottom of whatever was going on but I was sidelined by the Consular. If it was just the RHC working on it, I would be skeptical but since you are among the team, Professor Dufrene, I will pretend that I didn't find out where the documents are. I am pretty sure that Nilasa was working with Gale and she is probably looking to start a fifth war between Risur and Danor."

The doctor says, "I don't have any intent demen...urm.. regarding the dokumente... Solve the mystery and I can go to Ber."


"Ok, so this Consular DuNambria, what kind of guy is he generally? Was his behaviour surprising?"


Tiefling map Armiger (Machinehead) 9/ Aristocrat 1 // AC 26/22/15 / HP 62/84 / F +10 R +11 W +9 / Init. +3 / Perc. +15 / Sense Motive +13

"So your return hinges upon this being solved?" Cretien asked of the doctor. "Hmm, where to keep you in the mean time..." he wonders aloud, inviting the other RHC officers to chime in.

Turning to Lebrix, Cretien responds, "I appreciate your confidence as well as your cooperation. I am sure with our minds together we can solve this."


Shot Putter Funkmeister

hmm there is no cause and effect in that sentence...

Lebrix says, "He is a diplomat, so he isn't always honest with Risuri but that is his job. He wanted to recover the documents figuring that some elements of the hawkish faction would call for war and ignore the actual facts regarding Risuri politicians and underworld figures. Before I got sidelined, I was in the process of sifting through the evidence... A staff at the RHC should be able to do it in two or three days. Look give me the Doctor's passport and i will get him the stamp within the next two days."

Should we move on to the next day?

Ready

"So, then are we all in agreement? Give Mssr. Lebrix the passport, take the doctor to RHC for safekeeping. 2 days for us to sift through the papers. Eh?"

ready


Stephan DeWir (Black Market Arms Dealer) Hp 53/53 AC 25 (+7 Perc; +1 Init; Fort +2, Ref +3, Will +4)

it certainly sounds like a good agreement

ready


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Just a quick reminder, tomorrow in game terms, you need to meet with Nevard the Skyseer to meet Gale the terrorist and you can also meet up with Morgan Cippriano, he is waiting for you for brunch... so office, nevard, cipriano or which order?


Ready. No preference on order.

Spoiler:
You decide to spend the evening on the roof of your apartment building trying to get a good glimpse of the sky for your surrogate mother's sake. In your sight you see an earnest Elfen woman led astray by misunderstanding, an iron fountain that leads to a dark mirror image and then you see oil everywhere as if it was seething out of the sewers. You see a shady foreign man who wants to help but for some reason unbeknownst to you.

I'd say drop off the Doc, (assuming it is nighttime now), sleep, then brunch with Cippriano (unless we have time for something else before brunch, not sure how long travel to various locales will take us)
