Mages use them for spells but if you look at the marketplace, weapons can also be imbued with them. This makes the weapon stronger against the foes that the gem is strong against and weak to the foes that the gem is weak against. But getting a gem doesn't give you the ability to cast spells, it just gives mages a new flavor of spell to cast.

Ruxana's claim is easily faked. How hard is it to say that "Hey I was in contact with Stan, too. He told me the exact same thing he told the others." She's been reading the thread. She knows what the others said and that most of us feeling inclined to vote for her. This seems like a last ditch attempt to save herself to me.

Cronk think everyone counting chickens before hatching. Party should worry about reward distribution once party completes quest. Cronk think there probably still a lot of evil left to bash. Cronk think we need to go save other mages and find out what happen to Matriarch. Cronk remember Altair say voice familiar. About how long ago did Mage Altair hear this voice? Did something else evil happen to Mage family then?

If I'd had a brown hood, Cronk might've ended up a cleric. He'll probably end up a Paladin before too long anyway.

Cronk thought of question for Mage Altair. Why family insignia is double headed phoenix? Does Mage Altair's family have dealings with phoenixes in past?

That's very interesting. I suppose you trust the source you received this information from? It seems odd to me that Stanislav would be in contact with Dimitri and know he was the investigator but use his final words to convince a few other people that he's scum. Plus weren't we all pretty sure the magnifying glass clue meant that Elena was our investigator? Dimitri might think the odds were good that no one would challenge him on such a role claim if the actual investigator were dead.

Cronk think it funny that Mage Altair should turn into chair. Maybe whoever cast spell think it funny to turn all mages into something rhymes with name. Mage Mabel could be table. Mage Zed, bed. Cronk just thinking out loud. Cronk would like to examine any tables in room. Cronk see if nice Mage Mabel is table.

Normally the items that the inventor would invent would be one time use things. And I don't think he can normally give himself items either. I think it's much more likely that they had to get a new pistol when Max died or ( less likely) that the new gun is a vigilante.

Was that an agreed upon plan? That Stanislav would give something to Samuel and that you'd know it, Denis? How would you know if he gave anything to Samuel? Even trackers normally can't tell what someone does when they're targeting someone else. Even if you knew Stanislav had targeted Samuel, how would you know what he was doing?

Hooray! Cronk bash and help Mage Altair. Cronk think since we are already here we should help find other mages. Party should look for anything else different that other mages could turn into. Did Mage Altair recognize voice that cast spell from fireplace?

That Stanislav was our inventor is sad news indeed. I think we need to know why Stanislav was so certain of Denis and Dimitri, Samuel. If he got results from a night action or whether it was just a feeling he had.

So, we lynched the right man last night. At least we have that. We all feel for you, Ivan. It's almost like losing a part yourself, I guess. I shall not mourn my brother Donil. He got what he deserved.

Is it weird that my reaction was "Hooray! We get to fight a chair!"? Cronk happy to bash anything as long as Cronk bashing something. Look at it this way, at least we're not killing some poor innocent guard dog.

Cronk try to bash gently to not hurt Mage Altair. Cronk attack Altair the Armchair standing in Front Row. Cronk sorry chair. Cronk hope defeating chair will free Mage Altair and not kill Mage Altair.

Friend Mage Althior right. Cronk not recall seeing chair there. Cronk will examine fireplace too. Weird light come from there. Maybe there is secret pasage way or something. Cronk search it. Maybe Mages in party try using special magic to detect anything odd about chair or fireplace?

Cronk not quite sure what happened but one thing clear. Matriarch still around here somewhere. Cronk think maybe we should look for now missing wizards. Cronk would be sad if nice Mage Mabel in trouble. Cronk not so sad if Purple-y mage in trouble but Cronk suppose party should rescue Purple-y mage anyway.

Cronk would like to know Mage Mabel's opinion of other family members. Does Mage Mabel know what book Matriarch took from Mage Zed?

Oh man. I've been eying Fort Legoredo on Ebay and lost several bidding wars. Unfortunately, I'm more than a little strapped for cash right now (We sat down and rolled all of our loose change to pay our phone bill earlier this week.). So I can't even think about it right now. Frustrating, too, because the shipping wouldn't be too steep to where I live. I'm sure you'll get lots of offers for it though, especially at that price. Good luck.

Cronk would blush but Cronk doesn't know what color Cronk would turn. Cronk try anyway. What does Mage Mabel remember about day Matriarch disappeared? Anything strange happen or anyone act strangely?

Cronk thank Mage Mabel for being nice to Cronk. What Mage Mabel's duties as Second Spiritist? What Mage Mabel's husband Duties as Vice Warlocker? How well Mage Mabel know Matriarch? Did Matriarch argue a lot with anyone? Does Mage Mabel like all In-Laws?

Cronk think mage in tan hat look friendly. Cronk ask that mage what name is and ask if Mage knows if Matriarch know how to shapeshift. Or turn invisible. If no leads here after all mages talked to, Cronk think maybe party should look in Matriarch's room since that where Matriarch last known to be.

Cronk think Purple-y Wizard should take more interest in Purple-y Wizard's GramGram. Cronk knows all of Cronk's GramGram's favorite hobbies and stuff. Maybe Purple-y Wizard not be so grumpy if Wizard spent more time with Wizard's GramGram. Cronk done talking with mean Purple-y Wizard. Cronk turn to Mage Altair. Cronk think Matriarch Zelda have impressive chair. Where chair now?

Cronk think Purple-y Wizard not so nice. But Cronk ignore that and continue investigation anyway. If Matriarch like all kind of spell, did Matriarch have any favorites? Cronk hear story once of mage changing shape into object or animal. Did Matriarch Zelda know how to do such thing?

If he tells Petr, he might as well tell everyone. Let's not forget that Petr GOT YURI KILLED by revealing to everyone that he had a night action for no apparent reason.. I for one don't trust him. I think he's some kind of neutral trying to cause havoc. So I don't think anyone should tell him anything. I don't trust a word that comes out of his mouth. There are plenty of other people in this town that anyone half awake would find much more trustworthy than Petr. Not saying I'm one of them but there are a few.

Cronk question Purple-y Wizard. Hello Purple-y wizard. What role does Purple-y wizard play in household? When Purple-y wizard last see Mtriarch? Does Purple-y wizard know if matriarch like teleport spells? Did Matriarch walk in sleep ever? Cronk sorry if Cronk ask too many questions.
