Also, some people have not levelled their characters. Please make sure that you have levelled, otherwise Chapter Two is going to be a little unnecessarily difficult for you.

Sorry about that! Visiting family at the moment and didn't take the sourcebooks with me. Never fear, Celeste will be sixth level the moment I get back to New York. :-)

Also, happy belated New Years to everyone! And thirding that Sherlock Holmes recommendation. Hooray for cane-fighting!

Nicolas August 15th Solar sign: the Toad. Totem: the Lion. (Congratulations, lostboy, you have pitched on two signs which are pretty much polar opposites on every point. Hazlani Astrology (tm) predicts Nicolas is deeply conflicted, or will have a very weird life, or something.)


SUBMISSION BLACK WISDOM (August 15th)
Symbol: the Toad. Associated virtues: Wisdom. Associated vices: Envy, Greed. The Toad is one of the more negative signs of the Hazlani Zodiac, especially as a totem. As a Black sign it is associated with the moon, earth, and water. As a solar sign it indicates a life close to, but not actually possessed of, the sources of power—the classic “power behind the throne”. As a totem it represents a man secretive and controlling, almost always obsessed with getting knowledge and often intent on acquiring secrets—whether of black magic or blackmail—which will benefit him and bring harm to others. Men with this totem are often heavyset and commonly have wide mouths and green eyes.

AUTONOMY WHITE COURAGE (September 22nd)
Symbol: the Lion. Associated virtues: Courage, Honesty. Associated vices: Pride, Lust. The Lion is an Epitome and one of the most powerful signs in the Hazlani Zodiac. As a White sign it is associated with the sun, air, and fire. As a solar sign it represents one destined to burn for glory and power, and more often than not, to achieve it. As a totem it represents a man of great personal courage, almost always with a commanding presence; Lions are usually natural leaders and often very skilled at the arts of war. They are generally well-liked, forthright, and magnanimous, but they also tend to have a highly developed sense of self-entitlement and are prone to romantic embarrassments brought about by their common habit of over-committing themselves to several women at once. Men with this totem are often larger than the average, with golden hair and gold or grey eyes.

Lia's Perception check: 16. Lia's Arcana check: 32. Would anyone like me to try and restrain Cedolin with an Icy Grasp spell, or do we just let him run?

I think freezing a cop running and bleeding from a house of shifty, disreputable types when we have no proof that we weren't the ones who bloodied him is a bad idea. This is already a pretty good setup without us helping the attacker out.

As a general note, Cedolin is not moving very fast, so anyone who makes a DC 10 Athletics check can catch him and bring him back without trouble.

Excessive measures such as freezing him are probably not required.

And I can't believe he's still BLEEDING.


Also, Tomas is amazing. I'm still giggling. "Back on the case!"

Ack, I think Nate might have gone back to work, we figured it'd be tomorrow. If not, though, around an hour works.

Well, when's good for you? I'm assuming you have work and stuff. Evening or afternoon?
