Question: is this man De Penible the same De Penible from a campaign I read about on the Kargatane website, the Ravenloft version of the marquis de Sade? And if so, would Lia know of his work and 'tendencies'?

He is the same de Penible, that is correct.

As for what does Lia know... well now, roll a Knowledge Local check, once for de Penible and once for Ramsey.

And that goes for everyone, if you want to know just how much your PC knows about a specific character, roll a Knowledge Local.

============================================

Oh, and regarding the will saves, and saves in general, I'll let you know if your PC notices any effects. I have better ways to clog my PM storage then sending out eight "Your PC notices nothing." PMs every time I need a save. So if you hear nothing from me.... well now, you know nothing about it....

Lia has no ranks in Knowledge (local), so ... I know nothing. o_o *gulp*

Kuzan's look for the party, cross-posted from the game thread. Will probably get colored eventually.

Dude... I've mentioned that I want to steal your artistic talents and exploit them for profit, haven't I?

Seriously, though--that's really good work.

Andre, I still need your will save.

In case anyone was wondering about the conversation between Vedarrak and Charles--Vedarrak's father and mother were from Dementlieu, and Vedarrak's father was about to be arrested for selling military secrets to Falkovnia when his parents emigrated there.

If you weren't wondering, well, I guess you didn't miss much.

And we have our first bonus XP for posting! 500 xp to Rock, for simultaneously fending of Ramsey (no mean feat that) and including an original poem.

"I beg your pardon, sir," Lia returns smoothly, though quietly. "Stings are for insects."

NeoTiamat wrote:"I need hardly explain the advantage of living abroad to you. You can remake yourself, reimagine yourself as the person you wish to be, not shackled forever to the crude form one is born within. You are doing so right now, are you not? Recreating yourself not as the scion of a lesser family of Mordent but as a brave explorer, forging forth where few have ever gone. Escaping the mundanely unpleasant past for the glorious, seductive future."

"Be wary, Miss Mournswaithe. The future is never finished, it lies to you with its honeyed words. One can never escape the past."
Lia quietly intones something that sounds either like a quote or a poem:
"No matter how long the road before was,
Or that it defines where we now stand,
One thing we must never forget is,
The past is but a narrow foot's print in shifting sand.

No matter how clear or blurred conceptions of the future,
Shining so bright or shaded by such gloom as to make us cry,
One thing we must never forget is,
Until future is here, it is but a dream,
A cloud-built castle up in the sky."

Lia looks at Ramsey through half-shuttered eyes. "Escape or not, unfinished lie or not, we must live in the present, Mr. Ramsey. And at present, I am bound for an expedition in a faraway place. While it is never wise to forget the past, nor to be inconsiderate of the future, it is folly to let them obscure the present, would you not say?"

Café de Nuit

Welcome, friends, to our establishment.
