I hope only you don't get very much real time to speak with him.

[Rotipher of the FoS]

We'll try. Just remember, your PCs could always get to plotting behind our PCs' backs, too!

[VAN]

Yes indeed, but not in that case. Dadrag gets good money from Draxton and knows his limits, plus he is a bit afraid of him and actually all of you since you are wizards.

It's a relief Dadrag is from Darkon so I have an excuse to leave him down.

[steveflam]

*Evil Laff* we do not already plot? He he he eheehheheheehheheheheheheheheheh

Oh btw Tarlyn does go up unless Nathan states otherwise( He does use his hood and stay to the back of the home as stated in my post
What can I say, My employer is not there....

Am I stubborn or what?

[VAN]

If Nathan has no problem with the bodyguards being to the meeting with Chicken Bone I will get Dadrag up too.

[steveflam]

Rolande may not be remaining upstairs (depending on his own inclination or Chicken Bone's). If not, he could talk to the bodyguards, who could quiz him about what the locals do know about the weird group at the Maison. Even if he isn't, I'm sure Gerard wouldn't be averse to a bit of gossip on that point.

Yes you are right, but I really do want to "eavesdrop" as Roti says and judging by Rolande's reaction to me 2x so far, he won't be very comfortable with me at all. If I am not in his company he may offer some useful tidbits to the others

*shrug* I don't care. Whether the higher-ups in the Fraternity would approve of the hired hands hearing this discussion, on the other hand...

[Pamela]

I ain't interested in having Brother Roeccha asking pointed questions about why we didn't obey his orders about treating the matter confidentially...

I will be posting tomorrow guys, but too tired right now- sorry!

PS Steve and VAN, I'll post Gertrude asking Rolande to leave, now that Chicken Bone's shown that he knows Mordentish. You guys can then all listen into Hiro's eavesdropping (I assume that's what he's doing, but I could be wrong ).

[VAN]

Yes, but Dadrag can go up now, he will go with move silently so he will make no noise, then he will hide as Tarlyn did.

[VAN]

It's amazing how useful is to speak a foreign language! I have never believed that in a game someone would speak french!

Plus I have to say that both Nathan and Llana are very good, I have never learnt french. Congrats to both of you!

[Rotipher of the FoS]

Head up, VAN and Steve: if Kingsley sends Roland back down to the boat and your PCs are still hiding under the platform to eavesdrop, he's gonna wonder where they both mysteriously disappeared to!

[Nathan of the FoS]

Worse than that, he'll meet them on the stairs. There's nowhere else to stand, unless Dadrag wants to try to hug a wet, slippery tree for the next half-hour or so.

It helps being from Quebec, la belle province... But bear in mind that my French isn't fluent as Joel's is!

By the way, here IS a translation of what she said to Rolande (I'll remember to put it in my posts from now on, at the bottom:

Could you please leave, sir? I think we can manage (or literally, talk) without an interpreter.

You are both right. Thanks.

Gertrude has spoken Sourangien to Rolande right? If did so Dadrag will not understand what she has said, but of course he will rash to get down of the tree as he listens someone walking inside and even more if Rolande speaks. Dadrag is intelligent enough to think that he is the one who is going down. He knows that the Frat wants this meeting be private.

Since Roland needs some time to go out and get down from the stairs, I believe Dadrag will have enough tiime to climb down.

Since the conversation is being held about thirty feet from the boat, and the floor isn't that thick (you can see light through the cracks), you can probably get much of the conversation by just hanging around under the house. (Rain and thunderclaps will make it more intermittently more difficult, of course.)
