Yep dead as it comes
Bernardo keeps out of sight,
Runs back and gets the others.
He looks her way as she comes, and signs for her to come class. "Fascinating is it not, we should go and get
He keeps hidden, watching and taking note.
O once Machiavelli and the camp set up to his liking he picks up his crossbow and heads off into the darkness on foot.
Bernardo says little as the Vampire Saleh el'Dinn, Turkish Immortal, and legendary bodyguards of the Sultan comes into their company. Yet where ever Saleh goes Barnardo is always there or close by. Helping with the paying of items and getting the x-slaves dressed, then when the food is asked for Bernardo helps with that. Helpful, useful and always present. @GM: Machiavelli will take 10+4 on all his KN rolls to work out the back ground of this Vamp, that is 17+10+5 for 32 on all KN skills. Then, on going
Walks up the slave Merchant. "sayidi sayidi ladayh risalat lak nafham hadhih 'aw la kalamati walakun lah.
She says this so that all can hear at the sale. Arabic:
"Sir my master has a message for you. Understand these or not my words but his.
He says this so that all can hear, then leaves, walking past the others he whispers. "I would suppect you can buy and free the slaves very cheaply now"
looks up at the fight. But says nothing
Takes torches to the mounts so there is light and the above griffons know there is fire.
As the Cardinal moves Bernardo pulls a vile from his belt, then he just seems to fade into the night, vanishing from view. GM: He Drinks Vanish, which will make him invisible for 10 rounds.
Bernardo, will again rest from 2am until 4am
While helping Cardinal d'Borja to get ready for bed, he stops as the Cardinal informs him that something is amiss out in the dark. He stops stall a moment. The keeps on with his task as if nothing is wrong.
Whisper "Three bipeds and six Quadrupeds your eminence coming in form the west as a pack sir, I think about 100 feet away or closer" Then as if taking off the Cardinal favoured weapon as if ready to pack away form the night, he holds it ready for the Cardinal to grasp.
Organises the camp and checks the mounts are safe with in it.
Fox if your stuck for a way to get out, Bernardo is an investigator and can make great leaps of intuition. GM If needed I will spend 1 hero point to have Bernardo deduce what has happened and use a simple alchemical trick to aid him. He will never admit to it, nor mention it to anyone. Discretion is all.
While the others look on long faced and wonder what to do with the dead Fox-kin. Bernardo comes over and places a bowl of broth next to the dead fox's head, close to his nose. He says nothing more but heads back to packing away for the the day.
was not half the party nude in that fight?
As the best runs off, He says. "If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared." Then puts his cross bow away and Tends to wounds of others, he has healing drafts. In the morning, The others find a nice hot broth, with flat breads, wine and water is is waiting for everyone. When the Cardinal awakes, he finds Bernardo is there, ready to dress him. "I hope you had a pleasant sleep your eminence, after last nights incident. I took the liberty." His clothing has been cleaned and pressed and ready for the day. There is also a light breakfast waiting for him. Soft pouched eggs and toasted flat bread cut into triangles on the try is goblet of fine red wine.
Takes his time and reloads his cross bow. Saying to himself. "Only those means of security are good, are certain, are lasting, that depend on yourself and your own vigor." Then he takes time aiming into the darkness, then lets the bolt go. There is a long silence then it hits.
He holds the cross bow up readying it again. "Beast, I will end you if you do not depart and never come back."
He mount hit, he drops his blade and Machiavelli lifts up a large cross bow and takes aim into the darkness, his Dark-elf eyes giving him sigh, he stakes aim carefully and . "Above all else be armed" He says as he lets a bolt go into the darkness.
Looks around as there is crunching out in the darkness. "AWAKEN!! A beast has come to eat our mounts!! STAND if you do not wish to see your rides be devoured." He drinks the vile and pulls his blade, then walking to his mount up ties it and mounts. "UP AND MOUNT, or it will trail us all the while we travel this land. UP I SAY"
GM:
Gm you moved on faster than I could roll.. could I ask that we retro that Mule steal of have it part of the roll."[/ooc]
Bernardo stops folding blankets and walks over to Alphonse Veritas, Oathkeeper and
Whisper "I apologies for my interruption good sirs, but I thought you should now, there is something just outside the camp to the east, its skulking about so I suspect its up to no good" He then goes back to folding Blankets. But as he does so,
Large tents around a fire, with the Pack and riding animals between the tents.
Bernardo, dose not seem to sleep much and is working at the start of the night to get everything in place, Then looks after the pack animals, before sitting by the fire, He rests around 4am for 2 hours.
Bernardo follows Cardinal d'Borja where ever he goes, His scribe table always ready to take notes and letters. Doing what the Cardinal asks. He carries only a simple travelling uniform dagger and blade and well made but small back pack. When the get their mounts he looks over the geckos, seeming to know a lot about them, and talks to the locals in thier own languages. He seems a bit of a polymath. As the cardinal needs new clothing so he will get anything the party needs, they need only ask him. Once done he has stabling sorted in a house rented for the group.
Bernardo nods to the new comers and keeps going with his map explanation.
Lord P I think can wait out this one, he will be most happy in the black forest, I am going with Bernardo. He is more Machiavellion
Bernardo greets the Sir D'Veritas, and Alphonse Veritas, Oathkeeper. "Greetings, I am Bernardo, the Cardinal's secretary" When Cardinal Lucius d'Borja is ready he will show them the map he bright with him.
So my pc is Bernardo di Niccolò Machiavelli the father of Niccolò Machiavelli, He is part Drow and so good at political intrigue and all that goes with Drow culture.
@Cardinal d'Borja: He waited until they where alone and then bowed. "My name is Bernardo di Niccolò Machiavelli, I am to the commoners, just a lowly legal Secretary, to sickly to take up my posts as full guild layer. But to those like yourself, I am just Deacon in the order illuminator. But to a few, just a very select few, a am the grand inquisitor of the order. My task to protect mother Church" He sits and waits for that to sink in. "And to this end I have come to you Cardinal Lucius d'Borja, and the matter of the plans of the beast and its off-spring, and your part in defeating them of late" he dose not say their names.
His a little to thin, and ears just slightly pointy, but most of all his eyes, they are back and glint with keen intelligence. A well dressed Italian Noble
Niccolo stops and looks down shaking his head. In noble latin he says "I was told you where good, Cardinal d'Borja, not many can see me at work. But no more of this, let me do away with the foolary." And lifting his cloak across himself so for a moment he cant be seen, when he came back into view he is no longer a simple street runner. He stands in noble clothing. By his side is a long thin blade, on the other a dagger will made but with out to much finery. He bends his nee and waits for the good Cardinal to offer his ring of office so he may kiss it. In the formal way. IF/when the good Cardinal he holds the offered hand with his own on which is a also has a ring on it. His ring:
You know it at once and what it means.
"May we retire to your home, I will introduce myself there if I may and talk about other matters."
Niccolo, spends some time watching Cardinal Lucius d'Borja.
He spends a few days watching the Jackles in Rome. He is just out of sight, or a face passing that is never the same twice. He makes some notes and then talks to time to learn thire routine.
Q: So dose this game have a fixed RL end date?
Niccolo machiavelli II sits in his tower room in Rome, his sits at a desk from which he can look out the window from which he can see the fight with the Dragon. On his desk sits writing equipment as he composes a report for his father. His often dose this as he often fills in for his farther when he can't make a meeting.
There was a light knock at the door. 'Nicko' as he liked to be called called out. "Come in" A servent, a monk came in and handed him a celled letter, before leaving the room. Nicko opened the letter and read it, before ripping it up and burning it. Well well well, something to do at last
So GM Panic here, and here is my idea for a PC Niccolo Machiavelli II He is the son [Not recognised] of THE Niccolo Machiavelli.
Nicko - Gavneene. is the name he uses for most occasions. NOTE: As a Mastemind he can't be Scied by any means, which means the Anti_C and dad have no idea about him. Nore anyone, he is faceless and unknown. I will fill out more of him but for now here is the bear bones ALT. |
