I'll post later.

If no one posts by the morning, i will have time to get something in.

I don't mean to be rude, but where in the name of zeus is everyone?

As am I so curious.

Been waiting for people to post and ended up translating a 40 page document yesterday, 40 minutes of audio for two bankruptcy hearings. But yeah I think the ball's in the GM's court by this point.

I've been sitting here singing karaoke and dying of plague. Primarily the former. I thought we were waiting on the GMs.

I haven't seen @IcePezz around for a while since the last IC post.

If there's someone who hasn't responded, feel free to. Give Pezz another day, might just be busy. if nothing moves by the end of the weekend I might try and fill in just to keep the story moving.

Hey, sorry guys. I was super sick. Still getting over it, but I will get something up before I go to sleep last night.

EDIT-
I hope this answers the questions that were asked and gives enough for you all to piggy back off of, and intrigue you all enough to stick around, despite my absence the past few days. @ArenaSnow, feel free to post something, anything you may have to add on.

Edit - while creating your next post, if you wish to add in any happenings, events, demon sightings, odd occurrences or dangers, anything that would corroborate on Genevieve's claim that not all is as peachy keen as a jelly bean, I'm up for it. Just let me know before :)

My Valentine's Day was a good one though. The hubby and I don't usually celebrate. But we went to see dead pool this morning *squee*

How was everyone else's weekend?

Dead Pool was some good shit. I ended up dealing with snobby sorority girls most of my weekend. Eh, at least they were pretty to look at, if not listen to. - I'm a bartender, not a serial romantic btw,

@vietmykelol I waited tables for the longest time, I know what that's like.

*Looking at joining*

*Resolves to read all the IC*

*Realises there's only 24 posts*

*Is happy they haven't missed out on too much*

You can expect a response to be issued sometime this evening given I now have the time to do so this cycle.

Continued suspicions of motivation.

I'm sorry I haven't posted, I've been reading and re-reading the posts and I'm still lost at what's happened. Can anyone help me?

wat

@Belwicket well, we haven't gone very far in the conversation yet.

So all guests were invited into the house and showed to a room to wait for Genevieve to arrive. I wouldn't say she made them wait too long, and when she did arrive, she started telling them about their quest.

First she just introduced herself and the reason why she gathered them all there: someone who had traveled with them previously - aka- the rogue/witchling/traitor that is mentioned through out her explanations, stole an artifact/key from her, and she believes this rogue is working with a group of magi to hide it. Questions that were asked in response to this were:
why hasn't Genevieve's order taken care of the problem with the great evil
what's in it for them? rewards?
What does the artifact do?
More information about the type of quest - a simple retrieval/was it stolen by a faction?
And last but not least - whats in it for them? Why them? Why not take care of the problem yourself - etc

Then, Genevieve goes into that there are great evils about, and that her order is no more, she is the last that she knows of and doesn't have the power and or resources to defeat the evil she speaks of. Then went into a bit more detail about what the artifact does, what it looks like, etc. She does also mention that there will be a bit more of a reward than just the honor of doing a good deed and talks about why she chose them.

"During my studies, I had learned of three artifacts, or as some texts have named them, keys. Each key has their own attribute or powers, but when one possesses all three keys, they essentially become a god. With their power, they can control the energies of not only this realm, but more importantly, the armies of hell itself. That kind power in the wrong hands can certainly be a danger that none of us can ignore. Some of you had acquired for me one of these keys. Previous to this, I had another one in my possession, and for quite a while before it was stolen. It was passed down and safe guarded by my order. This particular artifact is quite ordinary, and is known in some circles as the 'Key of Discreetness', it's a rock with a dull grey glow, and a few runes on it that don't mix and therefore don't work, except within the presence of the other artifacts. This artifact was stolen by a rogue witchling; a traitor to us all.She had traveled with some of us all those years ago and fought by our side. And after helping us defeat the dangers to Waeldeshore, she fled the isle, with quite a few of my belongings, the artifact among them. I do not know her reasons for doing what she did, but I do believe she is consorting with a dangerous guild of magi, housed on this side of the world. They, I believe, have their own reasons for wanting the key, and I'm sure they are plotting and scheming, looking to acquire the other two keys for their own twisted purpose."

More questions came up
-How are we to acquire your artifact? Storm the mages? etc.. And we've yet to hear exactly what the reward is!
-Who is this "Witchling"
-More questions about Genevieve's order came up and then Sakaala asked Ionathan:

"Unless of course you can provide more detail than what is being said already, Hepburnberg." Sakaala directed, having keenly been aware of the behavior that was ushered toward him just a few moments past. She did not truly expect him to know, she simply wished to judge the way their host would react to the misdirection of conversation.

Edit: I hope that sums up the happenings of whats going on with your characters in the house.
The rest is in the background, soon to come into the foreground, but it's not interacting with your characters just yet.

@IcePezzThanks. That helped out a lot. Post is done.

As things get more political, Emil will likely begin looking towards Ionathan for guidance on how to proceed, @Jon Y, so I'll probably post after you.

Ah, I love the smell of fresh halfling poking my mind in the morning.
