Don't worry; I was expecting synopses or summaries like: "The talk lasted two hours and afterwards..." This is supposed to be role-playing after all.
As for how I see the Frat- good question...A lot of talk about the great brotherhood, but everyone's aware of circles within circles. It also reminds me of the Victorian eugenics movement, especially with their attitude against common humanity, and their lofty goals to better mankind- well at least, their own mankind.

The "Maison Soulombre Entrances" thread seems to be nearing a natural conclusion, so I've put up the next bit chronologically. The "Afternoon of April 9th" thread may be low-density--it's just to set the scene for what's going on, and has no planned Dramatic Events. Feel free to put your character anywhere; if you just want to describe how he/she spends the afternoon, that's fine.

No problem, Llana! Tarokka cards are really cool, the more so in that their meanings can be 'spun' in all sorts of different ways, if one makes a concerted effort to stretch them (like the bard just did ). That's not unexpected, since they were designed as a game-aid, and needed to give flexible messages a DM can bend to fit the course of events in an actual (and unpredictable) game-scenario.
Nevertheless, FWIW, Perrison's set of five implies fairly unequivocally that he'd be a good deal more comfortable in a rubber room. Viktor Hazan's cards were also pretty apt.
Kudos to Nathan; that was a great gimmick!

Yeah, the Tarokka are one of my favorite things about Ravenloft. The spooky thing about this particular set of readings is that I did them cold; I did five "readings" and assigned them to the five people involved at the time (Crow, Kingsley, Buchvold, Hazan, Quiret). Crow's and Kingsley's were even in the right order--first and second. I ended up giving 3 to Quiret, 4 to Buchvold and 5 to Hazan. I took the liberty of inverting freely to tailor the fit after the fact, but the Prison conjunction (for example) was totally random.
Perrison's is entirely my concoction, though.

Brrrr... that is spooky.
So, any chance of telling us OOC what Quiret's list was, that he found so insulting? And if Perrison's run off, is he gonna go pass Draxton a note after alhoon's interview?

Yes and yes, although I think Quiret's list will have to wait until after the meeting, unless Crow wants to ask him about it tonight.Rotipher wrote:Brrrr... that is spooky.

FYI, I'm totally lost now at who is where talking to whom and what else is going on (My PC is lost in PMs)
I guess I'll catch up but you guys have so many hints, inside and backstory knowledge that I'm often wondering which planet is this about
Hang on, hang on, I'll get there ...

Again, you ain't the only one. I came back after two or three months and it took me weeks to figure out what was going on. It's all Roti's fault; all this double-agent stuff.I guess I'll catch up but you guys have so many hints, inside and backstory knowledge that I'm often wondering which planet is this about

I must say, the Crow subplot is massively entertaining, and it's one of my favorite things about this adventure. That and the philosophizing.
