Story,[b]Story[/b] knew quite a bit about the assassination of [b]Julius Caesar[/b]. He knew that it would happen tomorrow, on the Ides of March, in the Theater of Pompey. A group of Senators who believed they were slaying a tyrant to save the Republic conspired to kill him, but instead they plunged the Republic into a new civil war that resulted in it becoming the Roman Empire. The most prominent Senators involved were [b]Gaius Cassius Longinus[/b] and [b]Marcus Brutus[/b], the latter of whom had been [b]Caesar[/b]'s protege, but he knew the names of a few others. [b]Decimus Brutus Albinus[/b]. who had been mentioned by [b]Adelphus[/b] and [b]Nefertiri[/b], was not to be confused with [b]Marcus Brutus[/b], though the two of them had been related. [b]Servilius Casca[/b] was another of the conspirators who had gotten cold feet. On the day of the assassination, he went and told [b]Marc Antony[/b] of the plot, but the general had not moved quickly enough to save [b]Caesar[/b]. When [b]Caesar[/b] had gone to the Theater of Pompey to attend gladiatorial games sponsored by [b]Albinus[/b], he had been lured into a side chamber on the pretext that [b]Lucius Tillius Cimber[/b], another of the conspirators, wanted to present him with a petition to rescind the exile of his brother. The Senators surrounded and stabbed [b]Caesar[/b] repeatedly. [b]Story[/b] couldn't help but be concerned at the danger of changing history. He was in the presence of people who wanted to save [b]Caesar[/b] - at least one of whom appeared to not be human. Any information they revealed to them could help them to achieve their end, which they had failed to do in the history with which he was familiar.

Elizabeth Young,[b]Elizabeth[/b] knew the basic facts about the assassination of [b]Julius Caesar[/b]. She knew that it would happen tomorrow, on the Ides of March, in or around the Forum. A group of Senators who believed they were slaying a tyrant to save the Republic conspired to kill him, but instead they plunged the Republic into a new civil war that resulted in it becoming the Roman Empire. The most prominent Senators involved were [b]Gaius Cassius Longinus[/b] and [b]Marcus Brutus[/b], the latter of whom had been [b]Caesar[/b]'s protege. The Senators had surrounded and stabbed [b]Caesar[/b] repeatedly. [b]Elizabeth[/b] couldn't help but be concerned at the danger of changing history. She was in the presence of people who wanted to save [b]Caesar[/b] - at least one of whom appeared to not be human. Any information they revealed to them could help them to achieve their end, which they had failed to do in the history with which she was familiar.

Brook Davies,[b]Brook[/b] knew an awful lot about the assassination of [b]Julius Caesar[/b], as she had written a paper on the subject for school shortly before she had run away and joined the TARDIS crew. She knew that it would happen tomorrow, on the Ides of March, in the Theater of Pompey. A group of Senators who believed they were slaying a tyrant to save the Republic conspired to kill him, but instead they plunged the Republic into a new civil war that resulted in it becoming the Roman Empire between rivals to succeed him, [b]Marc Antony[/b] and [b]Octavian Caesar[/b] (the nephew of [b]Julius Caesar[/b] and his declared heir), the latter of whom ultimately prevailed. [b]Cleopatra[/b] had a son she named [b]Caesarion[/b], allegedly [b]Julius Caesar[/b]'s son, though it was debatable whether or not he was truly the boy's father. She joined forces with [b]Marc Antony[/b], but [b]Octavian[/b] ultimately prevailed and made sure [b]Caesarion[/b] was killed. Then he took the name Augustus and became the first Roman Emperor. The most prominent Senators involved in the plot were [b]Gaius Cassius Longinus[/b] and [b]Marcus Junius Brutus[/b], the latter of whom had been [b]Caesar[/b]'s protege (and some said his son, though the truth of that was questionable), but she knew the names of many of the others. [b]Decimus Brutus Albinus[/b]. who had been mentioned by [b]Adelphus[/b] and [b]Nefertiri[/b], was not to be confused with [b]Marcus Brutus[/b], though the two of them had been related. [b]Marcus Brutus[/b]'s mother [b]Servilia[/b] had been [b]Caesar[/b]'s former mistress. She was not believed to be involved, though she had sheltered her son and his co-conspirators at her home after the assassination. [b]Servilius Casca[/b] was another of the conspirators who had gotten cold feet. On the day of the assassination, he went and told [b]Marc Antony[/b] of the plot, but the general had not moved quickly enough to save [b]Caesar[/b]. [b]Caesar[/b] had at first decided to stay home that morning, persuaded by his wife [b]Calpurnia[/b], who had had an ominous dream the night before. However, [b]Albinus[/b] visited him and convinced him to come to the Theater of Pompey, where [b]Albinus[/b] had arranged gladiatorial games. By the time [b]Antony[/b] had gotten to his home, [b]Caesar[/b] had already left. When [b]Caesar[/b] had gone to the Theater of Pompey, he had been lured into a side chamber on the pretext that [b]Lucius Tillius Cimber[/b], another of the conspirators, wanted to present him with a petition to rescind the exile of his brother. The Senators had surrounded and stabbed [b]Caesar[/b] repeatedly. Following [b]Caesar[/b]'s death, the people were outraged. The murderers had thought people would thank them, but [b]Caesar[/b] had been very popular with the masses. When nobody took immediate action against the killers, the people rioted, setting numerous fires (which were a huge danger in ancient Rome). Eventually rivals [b]Marc Antony[/b] and [b]Octvian[/b] teamed up to fight the assassins and their supporters, defeating them in the end. However, once they had been dealt with, the two became bitter foes. [b]Brook[/b] couldn't help but be concerned at the danger of changing history. She was in the presence of people who wanted to save [b]Caesar[/b] - at least one of whom appeared to not be human. Any information they revealed to them could help them to achieve their end, which they had failed to do in the history with which she was familiar. [spoiler][b]Brook[/b], with that critical success, anything you know or can research regarding [b]Caesar[/b]'s assassination, you can assume that your character knows it too. In addition, I may give you relevant information that comes up later.[/spoiler]

OOC,does offering Adelphus / Nefertiri my service as bodyguard back in town or for next day..will it blow my current cover as bodyguard, also did Adelphus saw me in forum, same way I spotted him.

Spurius,You don't know if [b]Adelphus[/b] saw you or not. It's up to you whether or not you want to ask him. If you are posing as [b]Caelia[/b]'s bodyguard, offering your services to [b]Adelphus[/b] and [b]Nefertiri[/b] may look rather odd. If [b]Caelia[/b] makes the offer to lend you to them, however, that probably wouldn't arouse suspicion. Of course, you'd still have to find a way to communicate the notion to her without them hearing.
