What or who Daniel McBride is not the question. The correct answer would be , he is the candidate that will be allowing MS. Pratt to go back home and forget about running for City Council!!
Mr. McBride is a productive member of society, with a job and responsibilities. Ms. Pratt cannot say the same. In previous posts, she has boasted about not working, and has stated that she spends her time on the internet trying to find information to back up her theories on the United Nations. That in and of itself makes her a harmless crackpot, however, an unemployed conspiracy theorist who is prone to public displays of drunken tantrums serving in a position of public trust is SCARY!!!

Great overhanging climb that keeps your attention the whole way. The crux is definitely the roof on the first pitch. Climb the broken corner/face to a great right to left facing crack (medium size gear/ #2) to a ledge. Protect left and/or make high delicate moves to the bolt(crux). Clip and surmount the roof past 2 more bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. The crux could be serious business. Take your time and commit to the moves. P2. Put on the crimp gloves and climb straight up the thin face above past three bolts and some natural gear (cams/tricams) to easier climbing to the right end of a ledge above and a two bolt anchor.
Take the trail up and left along the cliff band. Stay right when the trail splits and go up hill. Wanderlust will be in front of you. This route is located 2 routes left of Wanderlust. Look for the right to left trending crack about 25' up...hard to see unless your standing a little back. 2 raps with 1 60m, or 1 with double 60's.

How Long Do Butterflies Live?
Additional Resources Butterfly Pictures Types of Butterflies |
The question of butterfly longevity can be addressed in one of two different ways.
The entire butterfly life cycle, from egg to larvae to pupa to adult can span a few months to a year, depending on the species.
The life span of an adult butterfly also differs from species to species. Some species such as Monarch Butterflies and Red Admirals are known for their long migrations. Adults fly great distances to overwinter in warm areas, prior to flying north for breeding season.
Other butterfly species typically live a week or two, usually a sufficient amount of time to mate and produce a new generation.
Taking notice of the butterfly species in one specific area over the course of the spring, summer and fall months, usually provides more specific information on the life spans of the native species.
Some species produce only one brood of young during the course of a year, while other species produce multiple broods.
Over the course of a couple months investigation, the careful observer often discovers that a group of butterfly species tend to appear, only to be replaced by another group of butterfly species one month later.

Land Rover Problems
Coolant Leak From Throttle Body Deicer
A Coolant leak under the middle of the vehicle can be caused by a leaking throttle body deicer. Coolant travels down the engine towards the rear before dripping to the ground.
Leaking Head Gaskets May Cause Low Coolant Levels
Low coolant levels can be caused by leaking head gaskets and/or failed cylinder liners. Misfires or engine performance issues usually accompany these problems.
Pulsation On Brake Application
A pulsation may be noted upon brake application. This condition is commonly caused by warped brake rotors. Our technicians recommend inspecting both front and rear brake rotors when this condition occurs. Brake pads should be replaced along with any warped rotors to correct this condition.
Sticking Windshield Wiper Switch May Cause Delay in Wiper operation
A sticking windshield wiper switch can cause a delay in wiper operation, especially in cold weather.

Land Rover Owners' Reviews
I bought my Lr3 about 2 years ago with 52600 miles on it and in that time I've replaced a tie rod, ball joint, alternator, battery,brake rotors and now got to replace front drive shaft and front wheel bearing...turning out to be one of the worse vehicles I've ever owned!!!
I have only had the car for a few weeks and bought it as is, knowing that the check engine light was an issue. The tailights and and most parts just plug in and are fairly simple for a female to repair. My problem is not really with the car but with Land Rover, Dallas - TX. I have taken the car to two State Inspection places where the vehicle was diagnosed and both indicated that Code PO171 (System Too Lean Bank 1)and PO174 (System Too Lean Bank 2)are related to the O2 Sensor and a Vacume Hose.
The first shop inspected the vehicle and said it was a good buy, even with the check engine light, so I bought it. The second shop, changed my oil and lower brake light assembly and inspected the check engine light. In each case, the car was on its way to recovery with only the check engine light as an issue. I then took it to Land Rover Dallas as I wanted a professional opinion from the manufacturers of the vehicle and had their 5 points diagnostics performed - the report stated everything on the vehicle was good even the brake light(s). But on a different report, then indicated the check engine light was related to an intake manifold where the valve was not shutting properly. Their price was approximately $2500.00 to repair the vehicle.
When I had Land Rover go back and check on the upper brake light to ensure it was working, Land Rover broke the functioning brake light assemblies and caused a blinker light malfunction by not putting the bulbs in properly. And then attempted to get me to buy new parts and service for the items they broke.
What happens when Land Rover takes apart my original functional vehicle and it falls apart because it did not need new motors, or other parts that belong to the intake manifold? Will Land Rover tell me I need a Mass Air Flow Sensor and an O2 Sensor then?
Is there a Land Rover mechanic in Dallas, TX that actually knows how to fix the vehicle and can be trusted to not lie about the fix to sell the most expensive parts?

Pentagon signals minor changes to tanker rules
- Tweet
- Share this
WASHINGTON, Dec 17 Reuters - Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn on Thursday told lawmakers the Pentagon was likely to make only minor changes to the proposed terms of a multibillion dollar refueling aircraft competition, Representative Todd Tiahrt, a Kansas Republican, said.
Lynn met with Boeing Co supporters Tiahrt and Representative Norm Dicks, a Washington Democrat, a day after meeting with Alabama lawmakers supporting a bid by Northrop Grumman Corp and its European partner EADS, the parent of Boeing's commercial archrival Airbus. Northrop and EADS planned to build their tankers in Alabama.
"The changes are not going to be huge," Tiahrt told Reuters after the meeting. Boeing plans to build its aircraft in Washington state and do military modifications in Kansas.
He said Lynn suggested the Pentagon could adjust the projected fuel cost assumptions in the draft request for proposals, and may extend to 40 years the period covered under life cycle costs from 20 years in the draft.
Lynn told Reuters on Wednesday that the Pentagon was evaluating proposals made by the companies and lawmakers before issuing a revised request for proposals next month.
Tiahrt said he and Dicks were continuing to press the Pentagon to take account of a draft World Trade Organization ruling that found Airbus benefited from some illegal subsidies in developing the A330 aircraft at the heart of the Northrop-EADS tanker proposal.
Northrop and EADS won a projected $35 billion tanker contract in February 2008, but the Pentagon canceled it after government auditors upheld a Boeing protest. Officials say this next competition could be valued at $50 billion.
Northrop told the Pentagon this month that it believed the draft rules for the follow-on competition favored the smaller 767 tanker built by Boeing, and said it would not bid unless the Air Force made significant changes to the terms of the competition.
Tiahrt said Lynn told the lawmakers the department was sticking to its plans to buy a medium-sized tanker, and was pleased with the overall structure of the draft request for proposals, although they "did find some minor details that they need to adjust."
As currently structured, the competition would require bidders to meet 373 requirements. If the bids were within one percent of each other, additional nonmandatory requirements would be evaluated as a sort of tie-breaker.
Tiahrt said he did not get the sense that the Pentagon planned to widen that aperture to beyond one percent.
He said the Pentagon also appeared likely to stick to its requirement for a fixed price development contract, although it could incorporate some incentives to encourage the companies to beat the schedule, he said.
Northrop and Boeing had both raised concerns about the fixed price terms of the contract, although officials at EADS and Boeing told the Reuters Aerospace and Defense Summit this week that an accommodation could probably be found.
Top Pentagon leaders told Alabama lawmakers on Wednesday they would evaluate concerns raised by companies seeking to build the next generation refueling tanker for the Air Force and revise terms of the competition as appropriate, a U.S. senator said on Wednesday.

Australia loves Boris Johnson, the Tory clown
Bombastic London mayor Boris Johnson has instructed Australians to reject their "shaping myths" which celebrate the bush and the outback, and instead learn to love an urban future.
Speaking in Melbourne last night, Johnson launched a passionate (albeit rather scattered) defence of city life in the face of what he described as an incoherent human urge, "deep in our psychic hard drive", to idolise country living.
"It's in a city that you find the concentration of competitive talent," the former Tory MP told an adoring crowd at the Melbourne Town Hall. He says people want to live in cities, want to go into offices and share ideas, to hunt for jobs, partners, fame and reputations among millions of others. They don't really want to live in the country and live off tins of corned beef from the local shop, he reckons. Some just think they do.
Johnson was supposed to be speaking on "the power of literature" or some-such at the launch of the Melbourne Writers Festival, but he did no such thing. He did drop a few names in homage to the event; Star Wars, Homer, the Bible, Shakespeare. Otherwise it was a reasonably convincing if unoriginal spruik for the benefits of city life — particularly London city life — delivered in an entertaining manner.
It was interesting to witness the large crowd's delight with Johnson, despite the shallow nature of his speech. He is a famously British Brit (although he was born in America) who is usually described as shambolic or eccentric; the media often focuses on his messy white hair, his gaffes and his stunts. He's an Old Etonian Oxford graduate with a classics background, a former editor of The Spectator, an author of several books himself. He tells a good joke; he's a flatterer.
"… there seemed to be a hankering for a British past, a hint of tugging the forelock at the colonial master."
But is there something artificial about him? At times last night he seemed like a caricature; the old-style public school toff who's dropped into the colonies for a break, to be greeted by a fawning public who fall for his easy schtick. There was a calculated goofiness about him. He was both self-deprecating and ruthlessly self-promotional. It was a speech about: a) Boris; and b) London, but not really much about c) literature.
Among the mostly bourgeois, mostly older Melbourne crowd, there seemed to be a hankering for a British past, a hint of tugging the forelock at the colonial master. It was there in the generous laughter as Johnson joked about Melbourne's weather and troubled Myki public transport system.
It was there in the apparent acceptance of the ease with which he disposed of critics of his Conservative worldview. Johnson is a Tory celebrity (he brought in Australian tactician Lynton Crosby to help him beat ex-London mayor Ken Livingstone in 2008) who might be a future British PM. In last night's speech he breezily noted that his analysis of the future world economy (one dominated by cities) was a free-market one, and that made it a little brutal. There would be losers, he conceded.
But he said there would always be elites, and elites would always rule; the solution was for politicians to render the elites as "porous" as possible. The woman sitting next to me stroked her fur coat with her gold-clad fingers and nodded.
She wasn't the only well-heeled attendee. In fact, the opening of the Melbourne Writers Festival seemed to have been hijacked by the Right; Liberal politicians queued up to speak in a cultural revolution for these usually Left-leaning events. There was a rump of champagne socialists in attendance, but the funny thing was that everyone seemed to love Boris.
Ideological quibbles aside, Johnson was genuinely funny when reflecting on his time as an 18-year-old in Victoria in the 1980s, where he was at Geelong Grammar's Timbertop campus. He claimed he drove a tractor into a barn and skied in the slush at Mount Buller. He learnt to drink VB at 11am, "a skill that has proved invaluable", and wore "stubbie dacks … of positively emetic brevity" (or that's what it sounded like he said).
He also paid an elaborate tribute to the late and lamented Australian chocolate bar the Pollywaffle … pollywaffle being a not inaccurate description of much of his speech.

I think some of the appreciation for Boris was a desire for a political leader with a vision, clear ideology & who appeared to be a real human being as opposed to the Daleks that seem to populate politics in this country today.

Self-deprecation is a major part of his charm.
It's not possible to top the venerable Jon Stewart's description of Boris: "a boiled ham in a Donald Trump wig."
Crikey reported Jonson's uncomfortable interview with Eddie Mair in March. It was a master class in pinning the subject.

I also second what Zurich alors said - he doesn't appear to take himself seriously at all - again, something lacking in most politicians today.
by smarttdj on Aug 23, 2013 at 4:10 pm
I agree with smarttdj - unlike Australian pollies Boris doesn't take himself seriously.

Cathy, I am convinced you are an excellent writer and always rush to read your articles, but on this one thanks to his comment below, I stopped reading.
" Australians to reject their "shaping myths" which celebrate the bush and the outback, and instead learn to love an urban future."
What have you all become? Do you all hate yourselves that much that you turn your back on a sunburnt country?
The bush and the outback is what birthed us, right or wrong. It's ingrained in our national psychos and sustains our heritage.
It appears he is trying to reinvent our history and replace our future with a downtown London cultural urban existence.
He masked his social engineering with a facade of appeal and wit…and you all fell for it. He seduced you. I hope it felt good.

He's a conservative with viewpoints that aren't lagging decades behind (as Abbott's are). He's for a more open migration policy and gay marriage. We need more of this kind of conservative in Australia.
by Carr Daniel on Aug 24, 2013 at 3:21 pm
Couldn't believe the free ride Leigh Sales gave Boris Johnson last week.
She talked about him being a straight-shooting fella who's not afraid to go off-message.
That was despite Johnson endorsing the Tory cutbacks to health, education and other areas that have now kept the UK in recession for longer than the Great Depression of the 1930s, and yet defending them as necessary (although he's not bearing any of that pain).
This couldn't really be the guy who passed on personal details of a journalist who later got beaten up by thugs (Thank goodness certain BBC journalists are a bit more probing than certain ABC journalists):
It's Boris' hair, isn't it? Women just want to grab him and set him right with a brush.
by bluey50 on Aug 25, 2013 at 4:49 pm
BTW, fair point by Boris about abandoning our bush myth.
But together with the unbrushed hair, it's a deliberate performance from a Bullingdon Boy who still likes smashing things up:
He denounces the Club, and yet now smashes up the British State rather than just a few bits of furniture.
by bluey50 on Aug 25, 2013 at 4:57 pm
"BTW, fair point by Boris about abandoning our bush myth."
I suppose if Boris Johnson told you Australia needed a Poll Tax you would agree with him on that too.
What this guy represents is the full expression of Tory/Neocon politics, the face of the British Conservatism, all things Gentry and all things British and you would lidten to him???
Muchos a sad day. Long live the Queen.
by Che Cobana on Aug 26, 2013 at 10:31 am
Hey Che Cobana
Couldn't agree with you more.
All I'm adding is that Boris J sugar-coats his venom with a facade of truth.
Australia is one of the most urbanised countries in the world, and Boris J used that fact to get credence for his other, horrible claims.

Destination: Scotland
Musical Album: Adoon Winding Nith (Whitefall Records) recorded by Emily Smith and Jamie McClennan
A GUEST POST by Kerry Dexter
Today, as I settle in to my Paris apartment, Kerry Dexter brings us musical travel to Scotland with the Scottish National poet, Robert Burns.
Toasting the New Year with Auld Lang Syne: when the name of Robert Burns comes up, that might be what you first call to mind . A well known song indeed, and he wrote a few others you likely know, among them My Love is Like a Red Red Rose and Comin' Through the Rye. When Emily Smith and Jamie McClennan started thinking about doing an album of Burns songs, though, they wanted to go beyond the expected.
They did that, in several ways in Adoon Winding Nith. Smith, award winning Scots Singer of the Year, and McClennan, who plays fiddle, guitar, and other instruments, began building the album around songs connected with Dumfries and Galloway, an area in the southwest of Scotland which was the poet's home for much of his life. It is also where Smith grew up, and in her own writing, a landscape she often explores. The pair added several lesser known Burns songs, and a few well known ones, Smith says, "just because we like them!"
The result is a balanced and engaging program, which serves the Scottish national bard's work well and showcases Smith's and McClennan's individual gifts and their creative work as a duo.
- The opening cut, Adoon Winding Nith, is an upbeat treatment of a happy song in which Burns moves quickly from musing on the charms of the River Nith to the charms of a lovely lady. It will have you taping your foot to the beat as the story unfolds.
- Silver Tassie is a reflective ballad of a man heading off to war and leaving his beloved, which Smith and McClennan handle with gentleness and grace.
- You can almost see the lively farmer and his happy wife dancing along in The Plooman.
- The eleven tracks wind to a quiet yet powerful close with Burns' song of brotherhood and equality, A Man's a Man for a' That.
Smith and McClennan invite you in to the songs with singing and playing which, while staying true to spirit and tradition, make the music sound as fresh as though the songs were written yesterday. You have to think Robert Burns would approve.
Kerry Dexter suggested songs for Scotland last year, and she gives us music to accompany the Great American Road Trip each Wednesday over at Music Road. Thanks, Kerry. I love Robert Burns down to earth poetry, and I'm sure I'll like the musical version as well.

6 Comments to "Songs based on Robert Burns Poetry"
I took a class in college titled "Music and Literature" — they used to be one art. This idea is a good cross-mixing of the arts.
Soldier Laddie might qualify, not only for the protagonist and her actions, but because it was (I think, I'll have to go look it up) censored in Burns' lifetime.

Interesting. I will have to check out Smith and McClennan's "Adoon Winding Nith". Thank you for sharing! -r
Jazz is America's national music, now happily undergoing globalization. Luckily, I live in a country with high speed internet, so I can listen to my own nation's wonderful and truly native music all the time. . .

Suggested music
The girl was exhausted. She could not sleep. Each night, when she retired to bed and closed her eyes, the nightmares came. Sounds...outside her window. Scratching. Clawing. Sloshing mastication, the gnashing of teeth. She slept lightly. When the sounds came, she awoke with a start.
Nights stretched longer until they chased away the days. Every waking hour was inexplicable smothering darkness. Like everyone else in the city, her nerves were on edge. Once more, as was her routine, she kissed her sister on the cheek goodnight, ascended the stairs to her bedchamber, and prepared for sleep. Interiors felt airless and claustrophobic. The oil lamp at her bedside flickered as if also afraid. She sipped the dregs of her tea and climbed into bed. She pulled her quilt over her and blew out the light.
She lay in bed and looked up at the corners of the ceiling, searching for evil. Fatigue buried her in a blank unconsciousness. Until she heard the first scratch. A grunt. A sniffle. She shot straight up in bed. The room was dark, except for a pale line of moon peeking in from the drapes. Her eyes blindly groped the gloom. Her heart beat fast.
"It was only a dream," she said. Her voice sounded quiet, and tiny, and lost.
But then she heard it. Grunting and scratching. Two red pinpoints appeared outside, in the night, just above the windowsill. Then, two more, and these were joined by two more and then more others. She got out of bed and crept towards the window. She pulled back the drapes. They were all outside, staring at her. She tried to scream.
The next moment, they started slamming themselves against the window. The frame splintered. The glass broke with a crystalline shatter, flying into the room. Slimy rotten forearms shot forth. Hands reached in.
She screamed. Had she glanced down, she would have noticed the flames that licked the bottom of the drapes.
The Campaign:
I am Network, Rat-of-the-Sewers, Lurker-in-the-Dark, Witness to the people and events of poor Ustalav. I have a story to tell. Not mine. But of brave adventurers thrown together by fate on this cursed of nights. When it all began. I, a nosferatu, was there, peering from storm drains of sewers, crouching behind barrels, watching from rooftops. I saw them come together. I followed them from the shadows. Outside the Great Hospital of Pharasma, which is where it all began.
Heavy rain. Unending. Like the night. It hasn't let up for weeks. The streets are flooded. Filth and disease wash down along the cobblestones. The wagons keep bringing new sick ones to the hospital. The one man met his acquaintances outside...they looked worried. They went into the hospital. But the others still wander the streets outside. Each secretive. Each anxious. Each digging in his head, intent and set to his own dark task.
I won't let them see me. They would be afraid, not understand. But I am interested in them, nonetheless. They all have eyes that pierce the darkness. They all look confident, like they can push it back.
Our Pharasma! If they don't, it will mean the end of us all.
I will use Network as the messageboard alias for DMing. He is always observing from a distance, and may occasionally provide "observational" commentary in the first person. But otherwise, I will use second-person/third-person and you can interact as normal for DM posts.
People think storms and rain are bad things. I like them 'cause... Well it was on a night like this that I was set free.
That doesn't mean bad things can't happen in the rain.
I feel like I'm being watched, the short hairs on the back of my neck... someone or some thing is watching me. I can't shake the feeling. They are good at staying hidden.
Tonight, the "psych" ward wins... definitely more interesting screaming. Sometimes the surgical wing is a close second place. But, on rainy nights the people that come in are more sick than hurt.
Perched amid lower battlements, I watch the comings and goings. The rain does not stop, maybe it never will. There is a break in the activity and I quickly walk along the roofline to where a narrow alley is created... and let myself drop twenty feet to the wet ground.
Moving with purpose, I arrive at the sewer drain. It's almost over flowing. My senses tell me someone was here, watching me. But, they're gone now. It's OK, I was just curious... besides, never liked sewers much.
I turn and walk around the hospital, the activity is back... I look for another perch. The night is young.
As Earl Caromarc's coach approaches the hospital he feels his heart sink.
"I hate this place." he confides in his servant. "The screaming of the insane. The miasma of terror and dread that seems to suffuse every brick. I know the doctor seeks to cure his patients, but sometimes... sometimes I wonder about his insanity. How can any man be so surrounded by the misery of his fellow man, and still hold on to his own sanity."
Caromarc sighs
"Or perhaps the doctor is simply a stronger man than I, or possessed of a dulled seventh sense. Who am I to judge a man who has given so much, sacrificed so much."
The servant turns and looks at Caromarc, then turns back
"You didn't hear about his son, then? Tragic story. It was all the talk of the town for some time. Really though, how could he..."
The carriage jolts to a halt outside the hospital, breaking Caromarc's train of thought. As his mind returns to his location, his heart sinks once more.
Well. If I can find and save even one inmate who is possessed, rather than mad, it will be worth my discomfort a hundred times.
A thin man stands at the edge of an alleyway, his face shrouded in shadow but for the dim ember of his cigarette. His eyes narrow as they find the Baron Volst striding toward the entrance to the hospital like some sort of evil peacock.
I'll get you yet, you bastard. You eluded me in Daggermark, dodged me again at Xer, but your devilry leaves an awful stink that can't be hidden.
"Have you seen the older man resembiling myself," I clammer grasping a Draft of Darious, The First?
"Nay, he -is- Gone," I mutter.
"I live though him and the likewise, I am Darious, the second. If there was just a barkeep in this sad ward.... Perhaps there too would be cheer here," I rudely proclaim.
"I'd slaughter just about any beast for a mug of warm ale."
Dear Lord Ioun, let us remember thanks...
La Siréene Dorée walks the black, drenched streets of Ustalav, holding a mere umbrella towards the mass of matter bombarding the ground. I have lost sight of him.
She had encountered some information- most of it dubious rumors, mind- that coneccted a man known as Caromarc, who she was currently lodging with, to several strange happenings. This had gotten her attention, and she had decided to investigate it, curious as she was in this new world and the oppertunities it offered.
But now, her target was nowhere to be found, lost in the unrelenting rain. The darkness itself was not a problem, but this limited vision range ciertanly was. Strangely enough, she smiles to herself.
Time to adobt a different perspective. Predictable circumstances, while somewhat boring, have their advantages.
Her smile broadening, the woman known as La Siréene casts her umbrella towards the ground, which disappears into thin air immediately afterwards. La Siréene closes her eyes and enjoys the rain against her face for a few moments before proceeding. She draws a heavy rod from her clothing, lifts it into the air, and lets it effect take place before whispering, "Sky Swim", casting her spell.
Then, her form ceases to be hers, and changes shape, so that Nameless may better adapt its body to the problem at hand.
Change completed, Nameless now half stands, half lies on the ground, with a large, scaly fin as her only support, deep blue fin shifting into dark skin and black hair, with white eyes lacking pupils.
Nameless chose to stay still and experience this new shape in fascination for some time. The powerful lower body, the scales and fin, how different the rain felt on this strange skin. then, eager to test out this form, this manifestation of Nameless slips into the air gracfully, just as she would in her natural element.
These eyes are not as good as Nameless is used to, but good enough to take advantage of this higher vantage point. From up here, she sights a crouching form, perching on a rooftop. As she raises further into the air, trying to remain unseen by being a dark shape against black night concealed by heavy rain, the shape leaps down an ally, out of sight. Curious.
What an interesting specimen. Can it truly have noticed me?
This manifestation of Nameless looks around, attempting to locate the curious shape, and does so, at the same time finding Caromarc, his coach, and the hospital Nameless was brought into existence, and the place where all it knew was brought to an end, the memories of which also find Nameless, none to gently.
my- Here lies, perhaps, the memory of the Original…
Lost in horrified recollection that has the momentum of a tidal wave, this manifestation Nameless can do little else than stay steady in the rain and simply watch as the scene unfolds underneath her.
Inside the hospital:
They cross the threshold. Once inside, Iozef and Amelie turn down a corridor to the left towards the Reaper's wing.
The accommodations are streaked with grime. Cots line both sides of the corridors throughout the building. They spill out of rooms into hallways and common areas not usually used to treat patients. Everywhere lay people who are bruised, emaciated, bandaged, and jaundiced. Some huddle in small lumps on their cots. Some wave bony fingers, trying to call the few harried attendants who care for them. There are buckets filled with mucus and blood. It is unclear which wing of the hospital is the Reaper's wing. It appears that Death stalks all of these halls.
There is a general moaning in the air that is maddening to the nerves. A surprisingly short distance into the hospital, but far enough that the entrance seems remote, the cousins stop at the cot of a elderly woman. Her face is deeply lined with wrinkles. She appears to be sleeping. Her eyes have dark circles. Her lips are drawn back from the teeth in a grim rictus. Her skin is an odd color, almost ashen, as if it was turning the color of coal.
She breathes imperceptibly. Her chest rises and falls under the dirty blanket that covers her. Iozef gently strokes her forehead, and Amelie looks like she is holding back tears.
"It is good you could come," she says to Ianez.
Iozef shakes his head grimly. He pulls Ianez aside. His voice is angry and strained. "There is something wrong here," he says. "This is not just age. I don't know what exactly. Perhaps you have seen a like malady in your travels."
It is late. Ianez and his cousins are alone on the ward, except for a lone nurse going bed to bed, ministering to the ill. The white of her robes throw off a glow. She looks almost ghostly, like a specter, or a floating blue candle.
The only other person is a distinguished-looking gentleman with a humanoid mechanical in tow, who strides by with a noble and confident gait.
Still feeling like I'm being watched. Looking up I see nothing. No one could be above, I feel silly.
What's that down there? A pin prick of light, an ember, the lit end of a cigarette. I see him now, vaguely familiar. But he's not watching me, interested in someone else. No time.
Caromarc entered with his machine-man. I leap to another ledge, closer, following. I catch glimpses through windows and slits in the stonework. I reach out with my senses, hearing footfalls and whispered conversation. Moving from handhold to foothold, I follow them but from the outside
I settle in, that old woman had visitors.
This place reminds me of years ago, the bad place. My gut says leave, but I stay. For Caromarc.
Ianez holds his aunt's hand, whispering to her. The presence of the man and his mechanical follower registers only peripherally as he focuses on the woman; it also takes a moment for Iozef's question to register. "What? No. Plagues I've seen in plenty--Rahadoum was particularly bad on that account--but never anything like this."
Outside the hospital:
Suggested sound effect
"Help! Help! Someone help! Please! Is there anyone out there who can help us? Please someone! Help!"
The sound seems to be coming from a narrow alley that runs along the west side of the hospital.
As Volst crosses the threshold, Blackacre throws down his cigarette, stamps it out, and moves swiftly for the door, keeping his distance.
Stealth check (if needed) to remain out of sight and out of mind: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Let's see what sort of twisted business brings you here this night, Volst.
At the sound of plaintive cries from a nearby alley, Blackacre hesitates in the middle of the street, caught between his quarry and the plea for help. His obsession with Volst takes over, though, and he continues toward the hospital. His left hand finds an eyelash in his pocket, and with a word, he slips out of view and into the building.
Casting invisibility so as to avoid being spotted while tailing Volst in the building.
The manifestation of Nameless sees Caromarc enter the hospital, and sees the curious shape follow Caromarcs progress within the building from the outside. A realisation shakes her awake, quickly considering the implications.
My target may be this creature's target as well. Hm. The bold move may be the right one, here. I should present myself.
The manifestation of Nameless cracks a dark smile as she starts her descent toward the rooftop to make her dramatic entrance, when she hears the scream. In a moment, she has decided to see what opportunity this will turn out to be, stops her descent before she is noticed, readies herself, and makes a quick dive, moving past just above the creature's back and whispers, in her inhuman screech of a voice; "An individual cries out for help. Give it to him, Human.", then swims away at top speed, before the creature can look around, and heads towards the shout, intent to scout out the danger.
As she moves gracefully through the air, she rises into the drenched night once more, trusting that no one in their right mind would turn their face towards such turbulent skies.
The cigarette-man... Caromarc is capable
Whirling to see what buzzed me, a flying fish? This place keeps getting stranger. But it had the right idea. Help those who need it.
No time to be careful, so I move towards the cry for help. I came within range so my eyes can clearly see. At the edge of the roofline, I look down.. piercing the darkness.
I move into the alley and begin to search, with peacefullness.
This is a good excuse to go home. No physicians...
He looks outside, then turns around and continues through. He'd like to think he continues because of duty, or compassion. But part of him wonders if he would still be walking through this place were it a clear, dry night.
The click-clack of the mechanical manservant's hard-soled shoes on the floor sounds like a metronome as they walk. Without concious thought Caromarc finds himself falling into the same rhythym, alternate soft sole and hard stick. His clever prosthetic exoskeleton adds soft creaking noises to the sound. With the thunder of rain on roof so loud and close the noises of the hospital fade into the white noise.
And the the Earl's knee trembles and he miss-steps a beat.
An echo?
Surely it had been an echo that... no it had sounded before his step.
Caromarc looked into the porcelain mask of his manservant's visage
"Did you hear... never mind"
Shaking his head he resumes his walk, then pauses and turns back
"A little light?" he asks, holding out the end of his cane, which the manservant promptly illuminates.
Feeling cheered by the additional light, but sheepish to be afraid of the gloom, Caromarc continues on his way.
"Don't trouble him," Amelie says. "He's probably visiting a loved one, just like us."
Iozef shoots her a look as if she was daft. He hesitates for a moment, then waves her away. "No, he must be a doctor."
The baron's manner is ostentatious. Yet, he is small and relatively unnoticeable amidst the throngs of suffering masses. He moves quickly from sickbed to sickbed. He yanks rotting incisors from mouths and clips toenails from patients too weak to resist. You see him mouthing words. The tune occasionally rises above the ambient noise.
"Take some bone, Take some blood, Just like necromancers should. Deal an enervating strike, That's what necromancers like."
There is a nurse at the far end of the hall who notices him. She looks annoyed.
Ianez quickly rises and joins his cousins. "Your pardon, sir. All this--" He gestures with one calloused hand, a sweep that takes in the vast panoply of sickness and suffering around them. "--has us at our wits' end. Is there anything you can do for her? We've seen no other doctors."
His hair plastered slick upon his forehead, the man gestures wildly to his companion. He indicates to you deep gashes on her face, neck, arms, and torso. They are ragged, and lined with sickly green. Her fair pallor is rapidly turning a stark alabaster white.
The man speaks. It is hard for him to catch his breath. I am Dr. Hareton Grey, a chirurgeon at the hospital. This is Olivia. She is... His voice breaks. We are soon to be married. We were out walking....yes, I know it's an unusually late hour, but... He hyperventilates. I had business at the hospital and we came around... I was intending to show her...I told her it wasn't proper for a lady, but she insisted... His voice trails away for a moment. Then, horror rises in his eyes as he recollects what occurred to them moments before. He says, There were these...things...monsters...that leapt out of the shadows and attacked us! Please help me. She is grievously hurt. Please! You must help me get her inside the hospital at once!
You hear something moving behind rubbish bins a few yards away.
This manifestation of Nameless dives face first to the ground, but before landing, she twists in air as she changes shape, her dark scales and skin turning into a stylish black suit with a tie and a white shirt, black hair turning blond, umbrella apearing in her hand as she lands on her feet with flair. "'Ello. La Siréene Dorée, at your service." She gives a slight smile, then looks at the woman. "Oh, the poor thing... I'll carry her inside for you" La Siréene steps forward, carefully lifting the woman into her arms, still holding the umbrella, with a strenght quite strange for her thin build. "There's a healing wand in my belt puch, if you've got the gift for 'em. It should stop the bleeding."
There is a -4 penalty to all Perception checks made outdoors because of the rain.
In his distress, Hareton Grey does not register what La Siréene said about the wand, nor respond to it. It is clear he is eager to take Olivia to the hospital.
Sandru stays up at the roofline, but moves closer the bins. Fish turned to pretty girl, nice.
Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 extra +6 if consisted secret/hidden. Darkvision if it helps.
You hear a deep resonant voice from above. A figure separates from the night to drop near you. Standing from a crouch, it is nearly human. Tall, brooding and wearing a dark cloak.
I think I can help her. But, I need to touch her, NOW!
The figure does not make any aggressive movements, but does reach a hand towards the unconscious woman even as she is cradled by the surprisingly strong, pretty girl.
Need to know who knows whom. Sleeping arrangements, etc...
The suspicious figure jumps from the rooftop and lands before La Siréene, who stands unflinchingly still, with unreadable expression. He came. Good. Maybe now I will have a chance to learn something about him."That so? Convenient. Do so." La Siréeyne exclaims shortly, with calm voice, stepping forward so he that may touch Olivia. She makes a nod of greeting as he does this. "Name?" She asks.
It wasn't really clarified, so Nameless currently lodges alone, but would probably be happy to lodge with Caromarc later on. Nameless knows of Caromarc through rumor, but no one in the group personally. He does not have access the Originals memories, so no one there, either.
Half speaking, half growling through a clenched prominent jaw replete with small tusks, Sandru.
Reaching forward I touch Olivia.
Sacred Touch
A pale glow suffuses Olivia's body. The lacerations pucker. The green tinge around them fades. They look better, as if washed with antiseptic, but they are still deep, ugly, and raw. The woman remains unconscious and is quite pale.
La Siréene makes an appreciative grunt."Not bad, Sandru. Now to get these two inside. Come, Hareton." She beckons the doctor to follow and, With that, La Siréene turns and walks to the hospitals entrance, being careful to hold Olive in a careful and steady grip, also checking to make sure Hareton keeps up.
I escort them to the hospital door, opening it.
There was a creature back there, behind the containers. Small, to the ground... Flashing eyes in the darkness. Woman more important. You take her, tell Caromarc. I wait outside.
Waiting for all to enter safely, I am gone.
I look around the alley and still appear to see nothing.
"False alarm," i wisper.
Inside the hospital
The Earl raises an eyebrow at being addressed in such a manner by a man he has never met and only just seen.
"Sir, my name is Caromarc, and I regret I must tell you I am not a physician. Still, I have some small education in matters of philosophy and have been fortuitously awarded the title of doctor vis-à-vis that discipline. If you can elucidate upon your request so as to provide symptoms I may yet be able to provide some small assistance."
Caromarc! he berates himself The man is obviously concerned - behave!
The creature known as Sandru escorts the creatures known as La Siréene, Hareton and Olive and opens the door for them."Thanks," La Siréene nods. When Sandru speaks, she just manages to stop herself from frowning. Tell Caromarc? But he can't know of anything that connects me to… Ah.
As La Siréene walks into the hospital, folding her umbrella with one hand and letting it hang from her arm, she tries to not look around, but still sees the multiple corridors, all filled with cots for the sick and injured. She shivers for a moment, and then turns her head to Hareton. "So, where to for Olive?"
The trio facing Caromarc looks somewhat mismatched in clothing style; Ianez' garb contrasts with that of the others in that it's travel-stained and well worn. The Earl's reply, curiously, momentarily lifts Ianez' bleak expression. "A scholar, then? As am I, sir. Ianez Gastnicht, at your service. Perhaps once my aunt is out of danger we can compare notes; I had hoped to present on the results of my recent excavations on Kortos now that I've returned, but first things first. Iozef, Amelie--please describe the progression of disease to Master Caromarc."
Iozef sets his jaw grimly and relates the symptoms. The list is long and bewildering...painful swelling of the lymph nodes at first a red color, then turning black...fever...delirium...vomiting...muscular pains...coughing up blood...
"It started a couple of days ago," Iozef says. "And now all she does is sleep and won't be roused." Another soft whimper from Amelie.
As he concludes, Iozef leans over his mother, searching her eyes for signs of cognizance. There is an involuntary reflex; like a pod releasing spores, she parts her dried lips like a tear in parchment, and exhales directly into Iozef's face. The breath is a noxious billow of air, black and filled with particles like soot. He is shocked. He stumbles backwards and tries to wave the breath away from his face.
Ianez and Caromarc can make knowledge checks for history, local, or heal.
Blackacre moves quietly through the room.
So it's necromancy, is it, you little bastard? You won't be doing that for long.
He notes the family talking with the other noble who came in the door, and takes particular note of the construct serving the noble. Blackacre moves toward the nurse, looking for a convenient place to be once he becomes visible again.
Hareton points to direct Siréene. "Off to the left, several corridors down you will find the Reaper's ward," he says. "I shudder to think it, but the best course of action right now is to take her there. They will have staff and resources on hand to aid me, so that we can provide her the emergency care that she needs."
He turns to Sandru. "I appreciate your gesture to stand guard against those things, but right now I need your assistance. Come with me. We must dash to the surgical ward, where my offices are, and gather together some of my elixirs and surgical equipment. I can not carry it all by myself, and we don't have a second to lose!"
@ Darious - Your inspection of the alley reveals that whatever monsters so viciously attacked Olivia have since departed. The creature making noise behind the bins was a black cat with tuxedo markings and a white spot on its nose. Having witnessed the recent events, it is terrified. It arches its back and hisses at you, its fur standing on end, and runs off into the night.
An attendant emerges from the hospital and beckons to you. "Sir! Sir! We're closing the doors for the night! It is late and dangerous in the streets. If you wish to accompany your friends, then you must come inside. Otherwise, you will be locked out for the night!" He runs back inside. The heavy doors of the hospital start creaking and begin to close.
Taking 10 on Knowledge (History) (which Lore Master allows) gives a 24.
"Got it. I'll take Olive to Reapers as you go to the surgical ward." With this, La Siréene turns and walks down the corridor pointed out to her.
As a manifestation of Nameless, the effect of returning to the hospital is jarring. It is, in a way, what connected Nameless to the form Original, and had now become the only thing that manifested that connection. These emotions of unease... are they mine, or remnants of those Original had? ... No, that can't be. My will is my own. I have freed myself from the Original. I will not let its memory affect me.
As she reaches the Reapers ward, she looks for either an empty cot to place Olive, or a nurse, doctor or attendant for assistance.
(Note: typo in linked text calling it "Bleak" Breath.)
If this is a resurgence of the disease, it looks like it might be a mutated and more virulent strain.
The nurse notices La Siréene enter with the limp woman in her arms. She gathers her linen skirts in a brisk manner and walks half the distance of the ward to greet the new arrivals. She indicates to La Siréene an empty bed. "Place her here, please," she says.
She now stands close to Baron Volst. She shoots him a look, and her eyes are daggers. Her voice trembles with barely controlled rage. "I know what you are doing, and I don't approve. As a nurse of this hospital and a cleric of Pharasma, I command you to take your leave at once."
Baron Volst sizes her up with his eyes. His lips curl in a sneer.
La Siréene gingerly places the woman on the bed, and then turns to the nurse. "Thank you. Doctor Hareton Grey is coming for her, currently in the surgical ward." Having planned to immediately head for Caromarc, she pauses for a moment, eyeing this confrontation between the nurse and the visitor, keeping a curious and watchful eye on the baron.
I let a forlorn deep throated growl louder than previously. The look on my face easy to read.
I did not want to enter this place. And now, I do not want to leave the girl. But I follow the man.
Coughing and wiping his face clean after stumbling backwards, Ianez muses, "That was certainly unpleasant. It puts me in mind of the Black Breath outbreak in Kavapesta, but that was almost 500 years ago. Ah, Aunt Therez! What has come out of the buried past to trouble you?"
The hiss of a sword drawn from its sheath rings out as a tall, wiry man with hard, intense eyes steps seemingly out of nowhere toward the Baron. His voice twists with a Galtish accent and booms with authority:
Baron Dragomir dan Volst! You are a practitioner of the foul art of necromancy, and for that you shall be judged. Drop what you have stolen from the sick, surrender now, and confess, or face the justice you deserve.
The bastard sword in his hand, and the fury etched into every muscle in his face leave no doubt as to the nature of the "justice" this man describes.
Intimidate, as may be appropriate: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Too much? Too early?
Hareton throws himself at the desk. He locates a black valise, opens it, and runs his fingers over the contents, quickly taking stock. You can see forceps, retractors, scalpels, needles, scopes, probes, tubes, and a drill. Additionally, he runs around the room and gathers splints, tourniquets, carbolic acid, chloroform, and cotton wool. Everything combined would be too much to carry, so he hands some of the items to you.
He stops and looks around for a moment. "Oh, we should also take these." He runs to the shelves filled with beakers. In his haste, he knocks one shelf free from its case. It falls and beakers roll across the countertop with a loud clink of glass. He loads the bottles into your arms.
They include -
10 infusions of Cure Light Wounds 6 infusions of Cure Medium Wounds 4 infusions of Cure Serious Wounds 1 infusion of Delay Poison 1 infusion of Remove Curse
Two additional items seem to suggest the young doctor has been branching out into unusual areas of practice.
1 infusion of Enlarge Person 1 infusion of Jump
Satisfied all is in order, Hareton leaves the office and runs back in the direction of the Reaper's wing.
