Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]

[Ravager Zero]

Sorry, no sparring. I realised too late that the Dwarf supposed to fighting was actually being a better person trying to educate another Dwarf—speaking of which, Narric, Hector, that's for you two to write up. Use that Charisma. And I see you've already made a good start.

Also, be aware that aside from the magick, this is trying to a reasonably realistic world. Mythical/mystical/monstrous beasts are not all that common. Trolls and their ilk are fine (and Fae, Dryads, Imps, 'wildlings/natures wrath' monsters etc), but things like Orcs, Giants, etc—the less plausible (or more humanoid? I guess) beasties, don't belong here.

I also need to make a beastiary of the various dangerous wild animals you'll encounter in the north. Daemons, of course, are a given.

And to everyone, it's quite late in the day, so it's probably time to wrap up, feast on some poorly cooked meats, and regale each other with tales of past fights.

If I had read this before I posted, Tybalt would be regrouping, but a lass, he isn't.

[Narric]

Gotta love these free actions

Hector, don't hesitate to tell me if I'm shoe-horning you. My thought currently is to get Rockpunch a hammer like weapon, which I think you said you wanted him equipped with, but iirc nothing has been said about Rockpunch having weaponry.

Rav, provided Hector agrees, would we be able to "shop" for a warhammer of some description, or is Atlas too low on coin?

[HectorSmash]

Hey, I don't care. The way I see it, you're (both IC and OOC) introducing me to the world/game, so for now it's my duty to follow and yours to lead.

Right now I have like a rough cudgel sorta deal, but I doubt it'd be very effective against anything more durable than an elk. Going shopping with a kinsman... that'd be a dream.

[The Man They Call Jayne]

Don't suppose Tybalt would be able and willing to make a decent warhammer for a slightly lower than store price? That way it could be balanced for Rockpunch and made to measure so to speak. He also might be able to rune it up a bit.

We know what we are going to face out there and in the words of Major Chip Hazard, "Standard issue is insufficiant!".

[Narric]

One thing i was thinking was if we didn't have the coin for either option, are there "Mundane Tasks" we (I) could complete to make some? I doubt Gambling would be a good idea with my stats, and there is always a risk of coming out worse than when you started.

[The Man They Call Jayne]

We have taken some local jobs before, like when Ja'nus enmeshed that metal.

[Narric]

So sue me for my reference of real life things I'm sure a human warrior could have taken the title Rocky

[Ravager Zero]

@Narric: Yes, you and Hector can go shopping.
I don't think I ever worked out a wealth score for Atlas though.

Alternatively, Tybalt—or a local blacksmith—could make one. If you have the time and fortitude, you could attempt to forge one yourselves. The Blacksmith's guild is always willing to help those who wish to help themselves. Just supply the materials, and some coin/tribute. They'll show you what to do.

[InsaneTD]

Would of thought a true dwarf would know how to Smith . Would probably want dwarven runes if any too.

Trust a dwarf to smash the fourth wall.

[HectorSmash]

Rocky

[InsaneTD]

You didn't see that coming? Really?

Atlas was more a fighter then a crafter, hence why he left

Should I roll something like 4D10 to see how much gold I have?

And I assume I will have to purchase the materials from somewhere. I can't imagine people actually carrying around chunks of Iron ore, or Steel Ingots

[InsaneTD]

Not a true dwarf, teaching another not true dwarf things.

3D10, but you only get to keep the highest 2. (You're a wandering mercenary, you've had a decent income, but you have to eat and pay for lodgings too. And replace broken gear every so often).

And yes, you would have to purchase the materials from somewhere. You could, in fact, purchase them from the blacksmith's guild, at a somewhat inflated price (because hey, they've gotta make a profit, and this is the good ore they're giving you).
