http://m.epcdn.net/member_ups/d37/k6z86z4zrm.jpg Ines braces herself to hold the ladder. STR = 9[dice]0[/dice] The unusually great size of this ladder proves a challenge. It is not immediately clear whether Ines will be able to continue to hold it secure as Miss Davenport ascends. You may choose to...

It being agreed that the party should investigate the North Rose Window, they proceed thence. The policeman is able to discuss the situation briefly with a few available clerics, so as to not raise undue alarm among those present. A concealing veil is discretely obtained for the unfortunate woman, w...

-- Thank you. --

With that he takes his leave, the other policeman remaining to assist the adventurers and the unfortunate victim of what he presumes (judging by his remarks) to be one of Nature's mistakes.

-- It appears that there is some conspiracy at work here. -- remarks one of the policemen. -- I shall report this to my superiors at once. May I have that parchment, Mademoiselle? --

The woman seems calmer now, apparently aware that she has found the company of friends rather than tormentors. She is willing to be led by the party, and seems co-operative, given her limited ability to communicate. Once in a while she dips a finger in a vial she carries and removes a small amount o...

Upon closer examination, it is possible to determine that this unfortunate person was once an ordinary young woman, whatever she might be now. As Doctor North attempts to discover if medical science can be of any benefit, the woman recoils at first from his fingers; then she grips his hand with both...

The two policemen attempt to search the chamber in the dim light, obviously relieved to be spared the task of examining the sobbing figure. WIS = 9[dice]0[/dice] It must be admitted that they do not do a very thorough job. If there is anyone attempting to hide in the shadows, or if there is anything...

There is no answer from the figure, nor any sign (such as movement) that the inquiry has been noticed in any way. The sobbing continues. The policeman with the taper approaches the figure, eventually stepping to a position from which he is able to see its face. As he does so, he cries out and drops ...

Away for another three days, so make plans for your excursion and for whom you will inform.

The adventurers, having spent a day in their various researches, have another day and evening before the Eve of All Saints' Day in which to prepare their plans. If it is agreed that another excursion to the Cathedral is in order, they may best decide how to equip themselves and at what time of day t...

http://m.epcdn.net/member_ups/d37/k6z86z4zrm.jpg Is anyone with authority at this gathering trying to prevent any of the chaos caused by experiments with these gifts? Or indeed anyone at all trying to? As far as the adventurers can tell, the assembled persons went on their various ways, with no aut...

http://m.epcdn.net/member_ups/d37/k6z86z4zrm.jpg Ines will examine the gloves, though she will not put them on yet unless everyone in the gathering is trying to experiment with their weapon. As far as can be told, they are an ordinary pair of cloth gloves, notable only for the fact that they fit pe...

After some moments of consultation, it is agreed that it is now very early in the morning (being just after midnight when this mysterious business is concluded) on Wednesday, October 29, in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty-Eight. On Friday, at sunset, it will be Vespers on ...

A thin smile lights up the face of the man as Miss Davenport approaches. With a long, bony finger he lightly touches the scar upon her cheek. His skin is unusually cold and dry. After stepping back and observing her through the lens, he speaks again in English. "Your skills will be most welcome...

The man examines Doctor North and Ivan through the strange lens, then addresses them in English. "We have not many volunteers with servants. Be that as it may." He gives Ivan what appears to be nothing more than a common rock, just the right size for the giant Russian's fist. "Throw t...

Ines joins a line of cloaked figures slowly making their way into the room behind the door to the right. Each emerges with an object, some of an obvious nature -- a knife or a pistol, for example -- others more mysterious, such as small metallic devices of complex and peculiar design, or something w...

The fellow nods and opens the door on the left. Within can be seen perhaps a score of persons of both sexes, arrayed in a variety of clothing under long cloaks. The room is large enough to allow a dozen or so additional individuals to enter without excessive crowding. Beyond the crowd, illuminated b...
