Café de Nuit

I've been on the sidelines because it seems like things are still happening during the night, and Niles is already asleep. Just to let you know that I'm ready to jump in whenever we move to the next morning, in case anyone was waiting. There's no need to rush if there are still things to happen over...

I really liked the magical diseases, particularly the limited benefits, which could lure characters into contracting one on purpose (as Harkon Lukas claims to have done) and the Ravenloft worthy backstory. It seemed a little strange at first that the petrification virus reached Demise, given that a ...

As each staff member lists the odd behaviors of their particular students, Niles joins the others in quiet comisseration, silently wondering whether any of it is related either to Basil's mysterious friendship or Frances' suspicions. Leander's depression might suggest him as one of Gribble's unknown...

I'm not very familiar with 4th Edition, but it seems like the defining characteristics of artifacts in that incarnation of the game are their relationships with their owners and their tendency to eventually "move on." Overwelming power doesn't seem as much of an attribute as in 3rd and ear...

Niles joins one of the small groups of teachers who have gathered to converse before finally turning in for the night. He isn't certain of which classes Gribble had been taking during the year, but if there is some group of students meeting secretly in the school, then a few of the teachers are like...

"We may talk tomorrow, to be sure." Niles answers Frances. "Let us meet at one o'clock, once ye have naught to do."

" Ah, carry on with ye'r discussion then, by all means, " Niles replies. He sounds pleased that another friendship seems to have formed rather than put out by the refusal of his invitation. " A pleasure meeting you, miss, " he adds to the girl George has identified as Alma. With ...

"No, there is no rule against that George," Niles replies. Although he matches Georges calm tone, the undercurrent of relief is noticable.

"In fact, ye and your friend are welcome to join the conversation over at our table if you like."

" Georgina Sargant? " asked Niles, curious as to how the girl may be involved. As one of the other students is responding, Niles sees a student at a nearby table getting up as if to leave early and recognizes him as George. Not again, surely? , he thinks, remembering how George was reprima...

" It is possible, " says Niles seriously. He thinks of the medallion Basil had been wearing without mentioning it aloud. " There are always circles that form among students of similar backgrounds; it would not be farfetched for one to adopt a veil of secrecy to add to the impression o...

" For the most part I wanted to see whether you needed to talk to anyone. Everyone is distraught over the recent events, and for anyone who had been a friend to our missing classmates must feel even worse. " Niles pauses for a moment before adding, " Gribble did react the last time ot...

Niles hesitates for a moment, then says:

"I would speak with you for a moment, but only if it does not discomfort you overmuch... I have heard you were a friend to Basil Gribble."

Here he looks to Frances, making clear that he is referring to her.

I was suprised that Death Knight was not on your list of possible monsters. To me, that feels like the first possibility to consider for any undead character with a mount. Death knights have an innate ability to command lesser undead to serve them, so that could explain the other original encounters...

Welcome to the game, Rafael.
