The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread

1517, Auvergne, France: The Duc d'Auvergne is hosting an elaborate gathering culminating in a masquerade ball in his palace in Vyones, to which he has invited quite a few notable people. Travelers from throughout Europe and North Africa are in attendance to see and be seen. But there are some strange unseen things lurking behind the scenes that may put everyone in danger. Can Story, Elizabeth, Brook, and others attending the party unravel the mysteries and prevent madness from reigning supreme?

This is Classic Doctor Who meets Call of Cthulhu, the sixth of a series of connected adventures set in different eras and locations that includes The Terror Out of Time, The Ninth Planet, The Shadow Over Dunwich, The Brotherhood of Death, and The Horror in the Blackout.

Our two greatest weapons are fear and surprise...

And ruthless efficiency...

And an almost fanatical devotion to the pope...

I'm sorry for the delay, but I was at PAX Unplugged the last few days. If I can't update all the threads tonight, I'll try to get it done during the week.

One thing, I am not answering because I am unsure what Guy is actually answering to the question of from where Abdu'l is.

I finally had time to update, and while I was at it, I added the new completed character sheet. Gui, you will want to answer the question again based on what you know from the EDU and Luck rolls (or dodge it, or come up with something else).

That thread’s locked, so I’ll post in the new one (well, edit the post I can impart whatever knowledge he has).

To clarify Bey Abdu'l is talking about a rhinoceros, not an actual unicorn.

And a Merry Xmas to our 16th Century adventurers! 🎄

I believe Xmas is one of the Inquisition's greatest weapons...

Mr H, I was basing Jacques' comments on the Inquisitor on my recollections of one of the Captain Alatriste novels by Arturo Perez-Reverte (highly recommend BTW). If I've over-stepped Jacques' knowledge or misstated facts, let me know.

Also happy for him to make a Know roll if you would like (Actually, will do that anyway). And Jacques may have an unduly optimistic view of the Inquisition.

Happy to edit the post too if you need.

That's fine, and I'd say Jacques would know this even without a successful Know roll. The things he said are pretty similar to what the Inquisition would say about themselves.

Happy New Year, everyone! I'm going to enter 2024 myself in about ten minutes. I had to do it the long way, as my TARDIS is malfunctioning.

Okey. I dont have much idea of the plot, but its good to know that we only needed a short conversation to stop a showing of the king in yellow.
By the united words of the inquisition, a templar and a persian noble, a pretty weird crossover.

It actually took more than that. There are things going on behind the scenes. Jacques is a Hospitaller, not a Templar. But, yes, a very interesting mix.
