Forgot to do it when I put the post up, but I've edited your morning health rolls into the overnight post.

Oan could probably use some more attention though. ;)

Rav: Economic help you say? Of what nature? I've currently no internet at home, but that just means I've more time to work on things and post them up when I'm done. :)
I've sent you a PM on the subject. Hopefully you can make some sense of my ramblings.

Quote
Also, would it be feasible that as a son of a noble I would know/know of some of the nobles in Darrow? Could open a couple of short side-quests to amuse some of us while Tybalt's forging and earn us a bit of coin or a favour we can call in. ;)
Yes, it would be, depending on where Oan hails from, of course.




And should anyone purchase an atlas or almanack of the world in Darrow, I have a nice big map for them

Huzzah, a companion. Hope not EVERYONE is going to be a mage of some kind though :P We need A Tank and someone to do the heavy lifting :P

Q:

Is there a set list of spells for each of the Schools, or do we simply say "We want to do X" and the GM determines how successful it is?
The latter. Essence based magick is fairly free-form. There are some named spells, or spells based on various gestures and invocations, but those are the exception rather than the rule. Think of it as being similar to the way biotics are trained in the ME series. The gestures aren't necessary, but form a link between thought, action, and effect.

I don't know if there's any class modifiers for a Ranger equivalent, or if there's a difference between Rangers and normal fighters in this setting, but that's what I'd like my character to be.
No class modifiers. It just means you use different weapons, and have better wilderness skills than the average fighter. ;)

Quote from: El ShasOcho on October 11, 2011, 06:55:03 PM
My character (not listed here, I PM'd him to rav) is a fighter. And very good at protecting, since I sense waves of grunts coming after the wizards who will need some defense.
You can, and probably should post your character up here, just so everyone knows who to thank when they don't die in a big-ass brawl. :P

Works for me. :)

I'll modify my equipment as is made necessary once I've confirmed things with you Rav. :)

So, 1 Ranger, 1 Tank and 2 Mages. Anyone else feel like they're in the standard Dragon Age party so far? :P

Oh, I have a request as well. If one of the mages could take Runecrafting knowledge or something it would really help me. It seems that to give a ranged weapon increased armour penetration the runes need to be on the ammo, not the weapon. A cheaper supply would really help me keep up with the rest of the party in terms of advanced gear when we start getting it. :)

I already have a "Special Skill" in the form of Intervention. So i'm assuming Galithier will have to take Runecrafting. Unless its a skill that Mages just have?

My character:

Name: Marcus Flynn
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Physical Description: 5'11", 175 pounds, very fast, but still decently strong.
Personality/Bio: Marcus comes from a long line of warriors, his father and his before him being mighty soldiers. Because of this, he has strong natural instincts when it comes to battle. He is used to taking on multiple enemies at once, and is excellent at defending positions or people after years of protecting his village. He is very entrenched in doing what is right, and distrusts those without honor.
My rolls:

15-1d8 ? [15,-6] = (9) Physical
15-1d8 ? [15,-3] = (12) Mental
15-1d8 ? [15,-2] = (13) Mystical

Equipment:
Targe shield: a leather and wood shield with a 5" iron spike at the center, for both offense and defense.
leather armor: light but strong, for maximum maneuverability and endurance.
short bow: Designed for hunting game, effective for hunting raiders.
Poisoned tipped arrows: For taking down the big stuff.
Steel broadsword: 3' of slashing might.
Warhammer: For smashing skulls and cracking jaws.
Steel dagger: can be thrown in a pinch, but best for up close or quiet.

Obviously a warrior. My expectation is we are gonna have a lot of wizards who need a bit of close up protection.
My guy. i envision him with broadsword in one hand, warhammer in the other, targe strapped to his arm, cutting down waves of weak enemies, while you mages take out the big stuff and get all the credit. :shifty:

Runecrafting/Runesmith is a special kind of magick combining the various canticles with the art of blacksmithing. Runesmith are rare and highly valued people, so it is unlikely they would go adventuring on such a possibly dangerous quest. If a Chaosigan (true chaos mage) were to join the group, it might be possible for that person to have apprentice or even journeyman training in the art of runecrafting.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: Ravager Zero on October 12, 2011, 06:49:55 AM
The party so far

1. Ja'nus Faeyon (Jayne)
2. Galithir (Mabbz)
3. Oan Fencer (Mkoll)
4. Marcus Flynn (ShasOcho)
5. Tybalt Defet (TD)
6. Zothern Cabreil (Narric)

So there's one slot left if anyone else is interested. I'll keep this open until Friday night (GMT+13), and then we'll be starting. Anyone that wishes to join after that point will have to wait until the party reaches an appropriate point in the story.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]

Narric, do you have any magick, or is the mystical stuff just some basic knowledge of those Canticles?




Also, looks like we're full up. I'll get the prologue/starting post up in a day or so.

Basic Knowledge.

I thought it might be a useful "Background" skill, incase the parties resident Magick expert is unavailabe.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: Mabbz on October 12, 2011, 10:44:30 AM
So to summarise, we have:

Ja'nus, a humble mage that specialises in pyromancy and geomancy,

Galithir, a vengeful illusionist and novice necromancer,

Oan, a ranger with some miscellaneous other fighting skills,

Marcus, a tough close quarters fighter,

Tybalt, a runesmith who is handy with a rifle,

and Zothern, a fighter with some basic magick skills and a tendency to rush into things.

Correct me if you think that summary is a bit off.

If we're doing special skills like that, my background seems to impy mine would be speechcraft and psychology. Fortunately, we already have a runesmith. Also, my name is Galithir, not Galithier. I thought I should correct you now before it becomes a habit.

Post by: Scout Sergeant Mkoll on October 12, 2011, 01:02:19 PM
In light of your last PM Rav I've decided to drop the rifle for now and use the runic bow idea.

Gifted to him by the gamekeeper who trained Oan, who was ex-army, to commemorate the completion of his training on his 16th birthday this dual-string bow is enhanced by runes of accuracy. To this day Oan has never missed his target with this bow, whether it be stationary targets on a practice range, picking off his mark in a herd of deer, or selecting his target in the skirmishes he was involved in while in the local militia.

Post by: El ShasOcho on October 12, 2011, 02:19:15 PM
Im pretty sure I could carry all my stuff. Remember that scene in LoTR two towers when Aragorn Legolas and Gimli had to remove all their weapons? I have that much if not less stuff. I'd go shield and quiver across my back (with a guard on the spike, don't want any accidents  :shifty: 0, warhammer strapped to my belt, sword in the sheath, dagger strapped to my leg for quick access.

Poison. There's something I didn't consider that I probably should have. Although I could probably make a few traps given my hunting/gamekeeper training. :)

I think we've got a pretty decent party. Also, my thanks to TD for noticing and granting my request for a runesmith. :D

Well I find Runesmiths in most settings to be interesting concepts. As almost Tempted to rebuild my DnD character when I found Runesmith in one of the books. :P

Should talk to Rav about what runes can go on my Rifle.

Well this should be an interesting story.
Before we start, I should probably tell everyone this is my first journey into RPG, other then raving bonkers's one in the asylum thread. So I may something stupid/foolish, so if so just say so/give me some pointers.

Don't worry, I have even less experience than you.

I assume any in character actions go in the RP thread as well? Such as creating an illusion of a huge wart on Oan's face to scare off the barmaid?

Yes, they do.
However, I as the DM (and the dice, as the ultimate arbitrators) determine whether or not those things are successful.




On another note, if it all possible, could people please post at least a full paragraph?
(Combat will be an exception, but I may relegate that to PM to save clutter, have you lot make your rolls, then tell y'all what you did)

Why me? Surely the mages of other schools would be better candidates? I'm assuming there'd be some kind of long-standing argument between mages as to which school(s) are best. :P

Also, do we have a rough scale of the map? Might help with regards to decision making.

What is Darrow, Darrow's rest and Cyven anyway? I mean, Darrow and Cyven look like towns, but I want to be sure.
Darrow is a semi-metropolitan city, in the early stages of conversion to a fortress city, due to tensions with distant Cyven. Darrow's Rest is a marshland created by the first Lord Darrow, after diverting the river Celis to a more 'useful' course. His geomancers were not impressed, and it is rumored that Darrow's remains now lie somewhere within the heart of the swamp.

Cyven is a large city, slightly larger in fact than Darrow, with a potent military, funded and equipped through the cities extensive mines in the Eastern Peaks. Why they are so aggressive towards Darrow is not currently known, as the Cyveni royal family has recently been seeking alliances with distant realms to help combat the threat of daemonic incursions.

The Forlorn Woods are actually slightly misnamed, being an enormous, and ancient, forest spread over hundreds of square miles. Rumours abound of strange creatures and ruins of past civilisations standing within the woods, but these are normally heard in the same taverns, from the same washed up adventurers hoping to make a quick gold coin.

The Crumbling Rocks are so named for the mountainside that is riddled with old mineshafts, so much so that the entire region is unstable, and putting a foot wrong could see a person simply stuck in three feet of rubble, or plunging down a mile long mineshaft. However, between Perro's Folly and the Crumbling Rocks lie a series of standing stones, the largest grouping forming what a sort of sacred ground.

Rough distances:
Perro's Folly to the Forlorn Woods: 15 Leagues
Perro's Folly to the Crumbling Rocks: 18 Leagues
Perro's Folly to Darrow (skirting Woods): 40 Leagues
Darrow to Darrow's Rest: 20 Leagues
Darrow to Cyven (fording river Celis): 50 Leagues
The Crumbling Rock to Darrow's Rest: 27 Leagues

The party, currently, would be able to travel roughly 8 leagues per day, 10 at a stretch.

As I said, I'll play tricks on the other mages later.

Incidentally, I should probably re-post this here: With regard to the info we collect, perhaps Rav should PM us with whatever intel we discover, Then we can all discuss it back in the tavern later.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: Scout Sergeant Mkoll on October 13, 2011, 11:33:28 PM
8 leagues a day seems about right to my mind. Should have enough energy left to fight if needed too. After all, 8 leagues works out around 24 miles. I can walk that in a day and I'm not even in shape. :P

PMing the intel we gather could work quite well. :)
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: Ravager Zero on October 13, 2011, 11:50:14 PM
I'm posting the info in the thread for now, but any specialist or secret info will be relegated to PM.




For those of you wondering why I'm rolling 2d20 for these checks, the first is to determine success, the second is to determine the degree of success. Remembering here that you want those rolls to be high. Rolling higher than the appropriate stat (mental for info gathering) grants success. The second roll is how successful (or not) you are if you pass/fail the first roll. Low is bad, high is good once again. Jayne lucked out, Mabbz, unfortunately not.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on October 14, 2011, 12:15:21 AM
So with the success, is that rolled against our stat aswell? Pass and get full info, fail and only get basic? Or is it more along the lines of, the higher you roll the more you get? 0 - 5 is the basics 6 - 10 is slightly detailed 11 - 15 is detailed and 16 - 20 is everything they know kinda thing?

The latter. Degree of success is independent of any stats. And that's a good rough guide there. Exact numbers will change depending on the skill required for the task, and the difficulty in getting it right. ;)




Oh, and Jayne, you do know Galithir left the tavern to talk to the innkeeper, right? (the inn is an adjacent building).

I shall make a post for the start of chapter 1 in short order.

I was waiting for Mkoll to make his big post before moving you guys along (he promised me a good post, and he seems to have delivered, despite some misnaming of the gods: Seiya, and Kyron. ;))

Rest assured that there will be more combat and more mystery in this chapter. ;D




And on that note, combat will be resolved by a system I term "three-rounds-rapid". You lot PM me a set of 3 actions each, and make a matched pair of D20 rolls for each, and depending on how everyone's (including your opponents) rolls pan out, I describe the entire melee. ie: You tell me what you wanna hit, and roll the dice, and I tell you how hard you hit (or not), and the damage done.

If anyone has any problems with that, or wishes to recommend a different system, please speak up.

If anyone has any problems with that, or wishes to recommend a different system, please speak up.
Glad you liked it. :) As for the names of the gods, names change over time. Odin started off as Wotan after all. ;)

Combat system seems pretty solid to me. :)

So a simple example would be:

"Ja'nus cast 3 fireballs at the at the [insert bad guys here]"

(13,17)
(14,6)
(5,20)

Like that?
Essentially, yes. ;)

@Mkoll: Yes, that's true. I thought Odin was more of a westernisation though.

He started as Wotan in Germany. That's pretty far west as it is. :P Also, Freya started as Frigga. Though admittedly that probably changed when "frig" was seen as swearing in some parts. ::)

A couple of questions just occurred to me:

1. Can necromancy be used offensively or is it purely raising the dead? I imagine its both but I thought I'd better check.

2. how tiring is magick to use?

3. is their any chance of a miscast? I don't want to have a spell backfire...

1. Yes, there are certain bone and blood based spells that can be quite damaging. (think the necromancer from diablo II).

2. Depending on how quickly the ambient Essence is depleted, it can become quite tiring as you draw from your own spirit.

3. Yes, there is. The severity depends upon the complexity of the spell you try to cast.

At a guess you may be able to break bones too, though that may technically fall under the healing domain, I'm not sure.

Bones, shadows, blood.
Close range too, causing damage/pain with a touch. Necromancy is viewed as one of the dark arts for a reason. ;)

You can most certainly say it.
Unfortunately, from the set of rolls you gave me, it will not be the most successful of actions, at least, not for a little while.

And as to getting the attention of the shadowmage, I randomly determined who was hit by each spell

Ok, guys. Plan.

We need to take out that Shadow Mage, or at least send him running.

I'll try and clear out the area around us again and Mkoll can try and take a few shots at him, Mabbz can hopefully do something about his defences or at least hide Mkolls arrows from the mages sight.

If that doest do it then I shall Enchant Mkolls arrows with Magical Fire, and do some more damage that way.

Any other plans? You up close guys who arent dying still able to defend us?

You're going to use all the results I gave you in that order? I'm going to have to waste two perfectly good actions? Well, at least one, but the econd I'd have to think of something that I can pass easily, but would still be helpful regardless of second score.

Maybe you should mix the order up, so I can't do what I just said ;) Or I can roll again?

You already used the first three actions/rolls.
The fourth one is the one being used, and I believe even you can admit that it's less than stellar. ;)
The next one will probably work, just barely.

I know. Hopefully I'll be able to grab it as part of this set of actions, but if not I will just have to hope that shadow mage doesn't nick it. I doubt these other daemons will run off with it, they don't seem intelligent enough to realise that stealing it might be a good idea.

Well, much like everyone else, it would include at least 3 days food and water, some small bandages, camping utilities, quite probably some spark rocks, and for a Town Guard, a small pack of medical supplies (healing salves and unguents, bandages, sling, splints, a few medicines). It's enough to get you by for a few days to a week in the wilderness without needing to resort to hunting/fishing/gathering skills.

Sorry i couldn't help with the shadowmage, next time I'll remember I'm a mage and, y'know, not rush headlong into combat  :-[. That said, I killed way more lupines than any of you. And what actually happened to that dark swarm? It flew at me and vanished, apparantly.

By the way, when I summon bones, do they dissappear by themselves or are the still lying around? If they are still lying around, then two questions:

1. can I banish them the same way I summoned them, and how much energy would it use?

2. how easy/effective would it be to create a bunch of bone spikes sticking out of the ground, encircling our camp? It might make a useful defence. I probably wont do it now, I doubt we'll be attacked again today.

Oan already has a Runebow, with a rune of accuracy (Leritas) inscribed upon it.
Both weapons and ammunition can have runes inscribed/invoked on them, usually for different purposes.

Example, a Cendius (fire) rune on a bow would cause each shot to inflict some fire damage.
Cendius on an arrow would essentially turn it into a firebolt spell.

I remember TD was asking specifically about ammo for harming daemons (blessed ammo). You could bless the gun itself, which would make it slightly better, but it would only do extra damage to daemons were it used as a club. ;)

The stone would be destroyed in the process of correctly invoking the rune, so it would be best placed on something permanent. In addition, the effects I was stating were from Enmeshing the stone with the base material (requiring a skilled arcane blacksmith

Who is "them" the Dryads or the Mages? Or both?

Dryads: Pros, we wont be in this forest forver and have some more allies wont hurt us
Con, we are in the forest now and making it mad wont help us in the short term.

Mages: Pros, We can loot them after killing them and make friends with the Dryads, who just might gt us to the solar temple. Cons, we lose 2 potential new allies, and might get pretty badly hurt given how damagine those types of magic are.


@ Rav, if we go up against the mages, can my pyromancy be used to manipulate his pyromancy? As in if he casts a fire ball can i deflect it back at them? Or could I use the Rai-Tane stone to absorb it even?

Is ther ANY chance that we could talk our way to a peaceful solution here?

We probably can but I doubt it will be until after the fight between both sides. We might be able to get both sides to calm down and listen to reason. I'm not sure what a Chaosigan is. Maybe most of us hide ready to cover one or two people that go and try to diffuse the situation?

Chaosigan: Chaos Mage. Very destructive Magicks. Closest thing to a true warrior mage.

If we are going to step in then I would volenteer. Some mages might look down on non magical folk. Or Galithir if hes up to it. not sure how effective his illusions might be though. They might not take kindly to being deceived either. so maybe, we just approach and get ther attention, defend ourselves as best we can?

@ Rav, if we go up against the mages, can my pyromancy be used to manipulate his pyromancy? As in if he casts a fire ball can i deflect it back at them? Or could I use the Rai-Tane stone to absorb it even?
As a fellow pyromancer, you could indeed manipulate the same magicks he was casting.

Is there ANY chance that we could talk our way to a peaceful solution here?
The short answer: No.
One of the two sides in that combat has to die.
On the other hand, you don't have to fight them, as they are quite far from the river road.

Hmmm. well, we are in the forest, we still have work to do here, and there are other forests im sure. I say we take down the Mages. Blitzkreig style. If we can take them out before they really spot us we can get a sizable advantage.

I'll fire at the Chaosigan when Galithir puts his plan into action to try and draw focus away from him and to add to the confusion of our enemies. I recommend engaging from range, the Chaosigan's blades look pretty nasty.

Trust me, I'm happy to stay at range.

Cause, you know, it makes sense for the most tanky character, with an enchanted blade and armour, and the second highest hit points, to sit up the back and shoot stuff. :P

Actually, I'm probably the best prepared toface Chaosigan in CQB if the excrement does hit the rotating turbine.

Post by: Mabbz on December 06, 2011, 09:29:17 AM
I think you should all hold your fire until we see how successful I am. If I take one of them out without a fight then that makes things a lot simpler. Of course, I'll most likely be noticed at that point so you should join in then. Incidentally, I intend to go for the pyromancer first, since if the chaosigan spots me before I attack I dont want to be too near his blades  :P

Now, any objections or do you guys want to start PMing Rav?

Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on December 07, 2011, 11:54:29 AM
Id like to suggest a small change in how this is done, simply to keep the game moving.

Once an event is announced (a fight, some exploration ect) players have 24 hours to submit actions. After 24 hours the event happens. Anyone who hasnt gotten instructions in will simply perform the best action for there character.

For example, I would Shoot 3 Fireballs in a combat situation at the GMs randomly chosen opponants. Or i would simply poke around the area in the hopes of finding something.

This way the game isnt held up waiting for people who may have things going on that stop them from being here.

If it would help Rav make choices, we could all submit some basic default actions? This would be the minimum possible actions needed.

Mine would be:

Combat-

1) Magical defence/Fireball (f there is no magic to defend against)
2) Fireball
3) Fireball

Exploration-

Examine immediate area.

Any Other Actions-

Follow Group Concensus.


Thoughts?

Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on December 07, 2011, 12:47:53 PM
I don't mind waiting either, but 24 hours should be enough, taking into account timezones and working and so on.

This way all characters are still involved and no one is left behind.

Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: Mabbz on December 07, 2011, 12:58:55 PM
Sounds good to me. Here's my default:

Combat:

1) Use illusion magic to make myself hard to target and get into a better position if possible
2) Bone spears
3) More bone spears

Exploration:

Examine immediate area with magic, hunt if required.

Any Other Actions:

Follow Group Concensus

Well I get the feeling a bag of hold in this game, while not reducing the weight carried, does still seem to put what's in it in a form of stasis. If I've understand Rav's previous posts on them. They in my opinion they aren't anymore useful then a standard bag, and not worth the effort to make.

Not sure how recharging Runes work.

Rav, give us a lesson in Rune charging?
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: Ravager Zero on December 20, 2011, 01:12:34 AM
Short version is you cannot recharge the Sekhenar rune because you lack the required materials/effects to do so.

Long version, each rune cast on an object has an associated material or condition required to recharge it. For example, the sunstone Tybalt has for the Cendius (blazing fire) rune on his sword. Runes on armour (especially basic runes) simply recharge over time unless they get broken/overwhelmed. To recharge the Sekhenar rune you would need moonlight and quicksilver, and a master runesmith (Tybalt is not yet a master) as it is a Cornerstone rune.




Just as a quick aside, you've found everything of interest in that chamber now. There's enough time left to explore one or two more areas, then you have to decide whether to continue exploring through the night, or to find somewhere relatively safe to bed down.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on December 20, 2011, 02:16:48 AM
Id say we move on and go deeper into this place. It's likely safe, from a structural veiwpoint, and clearing out any nasties shouldnt be a huge challenge.

Yes, I know the last party died, but we have no evidence that it was here, or by something that lives here. We have found no significant supply of food or water here, suggesting that large creatures wouldnt use this place as a regular home.

Mostly though, it would be a shame to leave this place and potentially miss out on any goodies that my be lying around. :)

About four or five hours, maybe a little longer.

Said materials are also heavy. (Just in case anyone gets ideas :P)

It's a possibility, but investigating any daemonsign should be your first priority.
Odd jobs while other characters work at quest related, or character related storylines is fine. Trying to find full time employment in the city, not so much.

Rav, do you have any specific plans on how to introduce my character or do you want me to do it when they get to the city? I'm kinda hoping you'll leave it to me so that I can make a good first impression...

That would be costly.

Roughly how much are those rubies worth? If they serve no purpose beyond monetary value then Im all for selling them both and splitting the winning. If they have anything special about them then it might be worth keeping one.

I was going to have you lot meet at a tavern.
A rowdy tavern. :P

Seriously though, it's up to you how you introduce your new character. Remember, you most likely won't be in the same part of Darrow as the others start in, so take that idea and run with it.

I shall also have to get a map of Darrow made.

@TD: Darrow to Cyven is 50 leagues, and that's fording/getting ferried across the river Celis. Going around the river

I voted going through the large chambers, just incase there is anything lootable left there, or anymore information on the last party that went through. If they never got home we might be able to pass on what happened should we run into any family.

Im open to the idea of just climbing the ladder and getting out quickly though. Getting to Darrow seems to be the best idea.

A though occours, although it probably wont work. If we are to be using this new wooded armour that Tybalt conjours up with runes, could a rune of healing (not sure which) be added to it, so that it restores our health during the battles? or even while walking around with the armour on?

It already has a rune of healing on it, and that allows the armour to regenerate. ;)
It's also impermanent, only lasting about an hour or so

I dont see any reason not to go there. If its a bigger city we can get more information about the deamons.

When we get to Darrow I intend to stop off at the Collegiate for info on any deamoninc incursions. Are we going to split up, or stay together as a group? Id say splitting up would be better, we all have things to do there. We can meet up at a bar of choice and see what we have learned and show off any new aquisitions.

Also, would it be feasible that as a son of a noble I would know/know of some of the nobles in Darrow? Could open a couple of short side-quests to amuse some of us while Tybalt's forging and earn us a bit of coin or a favour we can call in. ;)

I have your PM. I'll put some work into and hpefully have results for you by Monday. :) I may have to consult with a couple of other people and check sources etc, but that shouldn't have any bearing on the deadline I've set myself hopefully.

Ah, yes, I didn't specify did I? My mistake. I'll tkae a look at that map you sent me and work out where seems feasible given everything that's happened to the party, where we started and anything else that seems relevant.  And I'll probably spend a bit of time consulting a fair few maps while we're in Darrow. I am the scout after all. :P

3, attack with sword

If I'm seriously getting my ass kicked I'll try and break away and use Runes to finish them.

Rav, minor quible, modern bow hunters never aim for the head, it's normally considered too small to try and the skull, especially on a boar, is too think to penetrate. Most go for the upper body as that is where most of the vital organs are. I'm sure a scout like Oan would know that and aim for there too.

Flintlocks are useless in a combat situation though. You get one shot from each and if you miss, the gun misfires, the powder doesnt ignite, what ever, you are dead. If she ever faced more than one bandit or deamon at a time, she would be borked.

As effective as they maybe, they are simply not up to the task she would have to be using them for.
So more evidence that she is not telling the whole truth?

Until we see her in combat, I guess we can't guess to her re-load speed, but even that has physical limitations on how quickly it can be done..... right?

You'd be likely looking at a special type of enmeshed glass for that.

A similar rune would probably be like the "detect life" spell from Oblivion.

Each would have its uses, certainly, but you probably only need one. ;)

With regards to the Star Rubies and the Sunstone. Where do we think we will get best prices? Or do we want to keep some and sell the others?

The Collegiate might be better for the Sunstone, and a Jewellers for the Rubies, but there might be alternatives.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: Ravager Zero on February 02, 2012, 01:03:13 PM
TD: You'll be able to forge the arcane rune of banishment (Eximus) on Zothern's sword, but you'll need some rare supplies.

Jayne: The Sunstone fragments could be sold at the Collegiate, the smith's guild, or used for crafting particular runes. The star rubies could be appraised and sold at the jewellers, sold at the Far Trader, or auctioned off at the dockside bazaar.

And to those of you carrying Rikashi weapons, the Far Trader will give you the best prices, but there are other places in the city that will take them.

Well I'll be sending the ones I carry back to my workshop in Cyven. I assume I have someone watching it for me?

Oh, I plan on buying a pouch like Ja'nus' and the material componets for any runes I know that have any.

By rare, do you mean the town won't have them, or they'll be damned expensive?

Are we spliting the loot from 'bosses' evenly or is it the person who gets the kill gets the loot?

An even spread is fair. we all did the work. I dont mind handing you a few extra gold for the smithing work though.

I'll only charge for the supplies needed. My character decided to come along just so he could help everyone with Runesmithing. It wouldn't be fair to voleenter to come along then charge you guys for my time.

If there was a mechanical cost to me it'd be a different story. :P

I also think an even spread is fair.

Well I provided you with my materials :P Call it 2 gold? If it is a Masterwork Rune then its worth the payment.
In reality, it would be worth a fair deal more than that.

Quote
Also, what exactly is a Masterwork rune and what different does it make? Im assuming its just better crafted or better at channeling essence?
It's a rune so well forged that it can never be broken or unmade unless the item it is on is physically destroyed.
And sometimes not even then

I remember the costs you listed. :P I only want a little one really just so I can make better use of Istseyla.

Well if Ja'nus insisted Tybalt will except a small payment. That's also why I haven't charged you anything. It cost nothing more to inscribe. Oan and Marcus will have to pay their share of the Titan Metal.

The payment is more of a gratuity than anything. Plus if this rune helps to save my life and those of the party, I can hardly put a price on that can i?

So If the item were to be destroyed, how would the rune still works? Would it simply become attatched to the person who was using it?

@Mabbz, I don't know that im ment to be activly looking for anyone yet :P

As for my alignment. I think im Neutral Good with a leaning towards Chaotic Good. I will do what I have to when push comes to shove but i would feel very bad if some innocent where to get hurt because it. The Greater Good is what truely matters.

Close-ish.
1 Gold = 12 Silver
1 Silver = 20 Copper
(it's like the imperial pound/shilling/pence system)
And as a very rough guide, I believe I said 1 Gold = $100 in terms of value. Meaning 1 Silver = $8.50, and 1 Copper = ~43

Both the weakest and the most powerful mages know only a single canticle.

Neither does Kahlan.

As for the canticles, he means that just because a mage is a pyromancer for example, that doesn't mean they have any association with geomancy. A seer can have no connection with chaosigans whatsoever.

Long red hair ties in a single braid, doesn't get into fights as often as Jayne thinks (I've healed a lot of hardened criminals. They mostly prefer to keep on my good side in case they need me again in the future), she got rid of most visible scarring with magic. She's quite well built from the fights she does get into but she mostly wins by knowing where to stab, so you could probably overpower her if she didn't have her knives.

Come to think of it, she looks a bit like princess Fiona when she's human. Although she has a leather... jerkin? leather armour for her torso, instead of a green dress

Up until now there's been no real drama between characters; everyone has been really friendly, even if I did nearly kill Oan. To change that and make the story more interesting, Kahlan and Ja'nus are going to be at each other's throats, at least for a while. Personally I think you're just jealous that Marcus is getting in first  ;)

I wasn't actually sure if you were going to watch the warehouses tonight or night.
You left it kind of vague.

I'd assume everyone would prefer to sleep this night, and you can have a helper tomorrow night. Also, Skoli didn't say it was very urgent, just that he wanted to know what was happening. ;)

No I didn't, when I left the Beefsmith I went to Skoli's manor and announced myself at the tradesman's entrance. :P

"My thanks Tybalt. I'll make sure I take it with me tomorrow, just in case." Finishing his meal Oan stood. "I'm going to see if I can't find out a bit more from Skoli, something seems amiss in Darrow itself, one of my father's acquaintances seems to be behaving rather strangely, even for him. Marcus knows where we're staying, but I shouldn't be too long."

With that Oan collected his weapons and armour by the door and made for Skoli's manor, where he proceeded to the tradesman's entrance and announced himself.

You're right about Kahlan, she's still a little confused about her motives. Mostly I think she just wants to finish what her father started. There was never any mystery about Galithir's motivation though. He's been trying to get revenge on any and all daemons for years now.

Honestly, I suggest getting your character to know the party. There may be some info we know, or that you know, that could help either way. Failing that, accompanying Zothern and keeping an eye on Skoli's goods would be helpful.

Couple of things occurred to me:

1) What are the social norms for womens clothing in this? Are people going to disapprove of me wearing trousers, for example. Of course, if someone does start bothering me about it I'll just stab them, but I'd still like to know.

2) Aside from the obvious, what applications are the for healing magic? A few unusual examples:
-induce a coma
-reverse/inhibit healing
-perform a quick medical exam, revealing weak points on an enemy
-healing mental traits (e.g. In a book I have, a character is said to have healed a group of men of all the reasons they wanted to kill her. She then killed them with their own weapons while they were smiling at everything)

It's dependent on location as well as time of year.
Darrow tends to be a little freer with clothing unless it's the Great Fall, in which case they think all people should be dressing sensibly rather than attractively.
Cyven is rather traditional in its views, still being a monarchy. Regal dresses and full regalia are still common.
Sueni, and other eastern cities are very open, due to the heat, especially during Firetide. Exposed flesh is encouraged during the hottest days, along with bathing in the terreaces around the oasis.
Northern cities tend to have traditional views, but laced with the view that form should follow function, and keep the wearer warm.

It would be next to impossible to induce (or reverse) a coma. You could induce very deep sleep though.
Healing can be inhibited, but not reversed unless it was very recent.
Medical exam, on biological creatures, yes. Revealing weakpoints, maybe, maybe not, depending on the complexity of the creature.
The mind cannot be messed with. Not by healing magicks at any rate

Well if you purchase it and take my share of the ruby money, I can give you the rest back when we meet up again. I think Ja'nus will agree that it is worth the price to stay alive.

We still have another day or so here, so I could go and find a bit of work with those Geomancers rebuilding the walls that we passed on the way in, maybe raise some more money.

She's not really a fighter, so she's not likely to travel with you lot.
Main reason being that she'd be unable to contribute to any fight in any meaningful manner, and you'd have to spare a person to protect her.

As a seer she has use though, although we may end up causing the situation we were trying to prevent. She has those flintlocks too. If we do invite her along, I could watch her, teach her how to focus her abilities. I dont get into the thick of things either so she could stay back with me and shoot at stuff.

Or we can leave her in Darrow, she isnt best pleased with us right now anyway.

She travelled the last half day with us.
I am aware of that. Kahlan hasn't met her, though I don't suppose it matters much. Unless she take one look at me and says "you're going to kill everyone!"

Hmm... Seers can be useful, but they can also be a massive pain with no real benefit just as easily. I'm tempted to say bring her along just so we can take her flintlocks if she dies. Seriously though, I vote we leave her here unless she asks to come with us.

P.S. I have no plans to kill everyone.

Of course I could read WAY to much into it and suggest that her sister is now completly nuts and has people killing everyone she is with because of the the events in Perro's Folly, she now sees everyone as a threat and she is just trying to protect her sister.

That's why I left it at me asking the guard, and I don't know she's unhappy with us. Of course if Jan'us just happened to be passing by the main entrance and saw Oan.... :P
He busy getting his Gok on and looking for some new robes :P

I was kinda hoping the protection would stop those of dishonest intent. My intentions are honest, I just want to talk. :P I guess I could send Jan'us in with a message and hope that it's enough to get her to speak to me.

It's moderately effective at long range. It works much better up close, especially if you can lay hands on the target of the magick.

To put someone/something to sleep you'd have to be close, but you wouldn't have to touch the target, although that would be more effective. ;)

Staves are pretty much it, unless you also have significant training as a warrior.
Most mages concentrate on magick, and using their talents offensively rather learning the arts of battle.

Is the system that Darrow use for identifying mage ranks a standard system? If so then we could certainly benefit from knowing it. It would give us a chance to identify the threat level posed by any rouge mages we meet. It's likely that if there any documentation in the robe makers, Ja'nus would have read up on it while he was waiting (because that's what I do :P) in order to keep up with general knowledge.

It is, but it runs the risk of breaking the sword during the forging of the second rune. So much power is not easily contained.

- a rune of sharpness on my knives

Not so much agility as it is swiftness.

A horse is expensive.
A simple workhorse would be 10-12 gold.
A heavy draft-horse would be 15-20 gold, depending on breeding.
A true warhorse (destrier/charger) would be in the realm of 50 gold.

To move significantly faster than you lot do know, you'd need a horse, each. And only Tybalt is a trained rider. No one in the party has training to actually fight from horseback. Hunt & shoot, yes, fight, no.

As for the horses, I kind of figured most of us couldn't ride. Still, a horse could be useful as a baggage horse and method of carrying injured companions.

Depending on how you picture the nobles of Cyven, keeping me around for a laugh is a distinct posibility. :P

Honestly, I think we are best off not having a pack animal. It's only likely to panic and bolt when daemons attack or it'll get killed leaving us having to leave stuff behind. We're best off sticking to just what we can carry. It does mean we can carry less loot but I believe it is the best option. That said, your gold, you choice.

Argenblargulgargenblarg!

*Deep breaths*

Okay, okay, I can fix this.
Sort of. I have the beat chart, the most recent combats, and a clear memory of what I had planned for your untimely deaths adventures. Losing the OOC page with all the stats and equipment on it is a blow though, as that was a great cheat sheet.
Would it be helpful for us to re-post our character profiles with whatever we remember? Also, I went looking for mine (it's vanished) and I found this:

How much money will I have? I know I haven't joined yet, but I assume I'll start with some money. At least, I will if Ja'nus gets round to looking for me ;)
According to the laws of chance and fate (aka, some dice) you have 21 gold (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3357116/).
Marcus has 23 gold (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3357126/).
Ja'nus has 16 gold (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3357130/). (Stop whining, you came from a small town, and they couldn't pay you that much. :P)
Oan has 38 gold (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3357147/). (He gets +1d20 there because of his association with nobles.)
I believe I spent a bit (no more than two gold) and earned 5 gold by healing that messenger.

I saved Ja'nus stats and Bio when I made him:

Ja'nus Faeyon

Physical: 15
Mental: 10
Mystical: 6

HP: 14

White Mage
School of Rai-Tane

Pyromancy/Geomancy

Divine/Malign intervention (-2 HP and occasional incidents when in critical condition)
Blessing of Rai-Tane (Bonus to Pyromancy/Geomancy I think)
Rai-Tane Robes (Travelling robes, warm, 2 sets)
Feayon family Magestaff (Runic, Dukator Masterwork), Eye of Rai-Tain
Amulet of Protection (Masterwork)
Travelling pouch (Enchanted 1cm^3 internal space)
Tome of Gods
Several days rations (Salted meats, dried fruits ,etc)
Canteen of water
Bedroll and thin sheet
13 Gold
Travel Almanac (Given to Oan for updating as we travel)

I think that was all I had. I may have had some other bits an peices in my pouch that I was carrying for others, but I can't remember off the top of my head. I know I spent some money on meals, and I sold the Rikashi sword I found and got a share from general loot. Marcus was holding 8 Gold for me, and I spent 4 Gold on the Tome of Gods and the Almanac. So I have 13 Gold on me + 8 that Marcus is still carrying. He has 1 Gold for Oan aswell.

Other than that my equipment was pretty much as it was when I started, which I know by heart.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: InsaneTD on May 17, 2012, 09:05:13 AM
I can't really remember my stats. I think it was
Might 11
Mind 10
Mystic 6
HP 16

I was down to 25 gold before Oan's sword and paying my tab at the Beefsmith.

My equipment was;
Sunna Warnia (Seia blessed shortsword with Rune of Cendus sp?), Clockwork Rifle with small amout of fillagree, Plate Mail Armour (Torso, Vambraces and Grieves, Rune of magickal protection), Portable Rune Kit, Tome of Runes, Rikashi Daggers (1 of each), Sunstone (may have used it for something, I can't remember).

He's a Cyvenii Runesmith with his own workshop and Journeyman apprentice. He was trained by a Legendary Runesmith called Serria. She was the one who gave him his Tome of Runes and his Portable Rune Kit. While not a Noble himself, he does spend time with the Nobles, hunting and socialising. He had had lessons in the past in dueling as it was a common way to settle disputes amongst the noble class but had managed to avoid any upto that point.

Ah, can't remember anything else. Oh yes, his rifle was made by a master gunsmith in Cyven.

Edit, Mkoll, Oan owes tybalt for that rather fine blade and for the enchantment on your armour. :P

Post by: Mabbz on May 17, 2012, 09:20:29 AM
Damn, I don't know my stats either. Well, here's everything else:

Fate points: 0

Equipment: hunting knife, 3 daggers, Rikashi blade (unused), amulet of swiftness, leather shirt, 2 vials of panacea, various poultices and stuff, Galithir's staff, and about 24-25 gold.

White mage, healing.

Knife fighting skill (you gave me a bonus in exchange for -1 hp, I believe)

Scarred, just below her breasts. I'm not sure if this is important, but it was mentioned on the character sheet.

Drives:
Survivor. Kahlan looks after herself first, and will not sacrifice herself for the sake of others. Especially since her near death experience in the manor

Competitive: Kahlan is very independent and wouldn't want to rely on others, and likes to do better than everyone else. She's the kind of person that would keep score when fighting, just to tease the others about it afterwards.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: InsaneTD on May 17, 2012, 09:30:14 AM
Oh yes, my drives.

Ah, can't remember the names, one was I much prefered using and making equipment myself or using stuff I know is hand made. Something like that anyway.

I'm not sure what my second was now, might have been something to do with finding how to beat the daemon king? Or something Runic related.

I thought I'd paid for the enchantment already? The money had been taken from the money Marcus got for the Rikashi blades, hence me only being owed 1 from him rather than 3. I think. :-\

Drives:
Protect Emily: Oan believes Emily to trust him more than the rest of the party, after all, it was him she gave the amulet to, and him she told about her sister. As a result he feels obliged to show that she can trust him. Oan must defend Emily where possible, but gains a bonus to damage enemies attacking Emily as a result

I am not a show off: Though Oan is capable of firing multiple arrows at the same time and hitting the target(s) he prefers to take his shots carefully, placing them for maximum damage. Oan gains a bonus to damage when firing a single arrow from his bow but suffers a damage penalty when firing multiple as a single action.

I think those stacked, but I can't remember for definite. I've also refined my second one so that it's more balanced. :P

I managed to find my stats roll, so I'll do what minimal stuff I can from here.

1d8=5, 1d8=7, 1d8=7 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3403340/)

Mystical: 4
Mental: 10
Physical: 11

Equipment: 9 round revolver with 99 bullets, combat knife, iron medium helmet, travelling pack with stuff, sentient bonsai tree and relevant stuff.

Magicks: Healing, summoning.

Drives: Cheery - spends most of his time being inexplicably happy for no good reason; Spontaneity - will sometimes attempt relatively wacky things, such as trick shots (e.g. a double headshot?) or buying someone a small gift on the spur of the moment.

I think that's the mechanics of it down.

Can't say I remember a ton of Marcus's stats. He had the daemon killing warhammer, broadswoard, targe shield, hunting bow, poisoned arrows, and a dagger. His drives were essentially protect Kahlan and do the right thing. Had at least one fate point.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on May 17, 2012, 12:02:58 PM
Marcus also had that hand forged armour that was a bit better than standard armour of its type. And it's a Banhammer! :P

Janus' Drives (from what I can remember)

Avenge the Fallen: If the more than 2 members of the group fall below 25% health, Jan'us will proceed to obliterate the enemy that has done the most damage to the group so far. This gave him a bonus to Criticals and remained in effect until either he was dead or the enemy was dead, or if Drive 2 kicked in.

Drive 2 (can't remember the name): If Jan'us falls below 25% health he will focus on defensive magicks to protect himself and his friends. This drive can override Avenge the Fallen and will remain in play if Jan'us does not heal between battles. This drive gave a bonus to casting defensive magicks I think.

I can't remember for certain, but I think my stats were

Physical: 11
Mental: 11
Mystical: 7

This is after modifiers for being a mage. I'm sure you'll recall how to calculate HP. :P

He was a Red Mage, with Chaos ("Unmaking") and Divination at his schools.

He carried a sacrificial knife which acted as an arcane focus. He wore light leather armour and a full-body outfit that concealed his horrendously scarred and mutilated features. I'm pretty sure I gave him a survival kit as well for trapping creatures and general woodland survival. He may have had a few throwing knives as well.

When Kahlan and Marcus were chatting about Galithir and the revenants, did he mention the whole "he might come back as a revenant one day" thing? If yes then I should probably make some kind of reference to it, and maybe get cross with everyone for not telling me.

I'm not sure if this question should be directed at Ocho or Rav, but I'd guess Ocho unless Rav has a story point related to Galithir's return.

Hmm... I'm gonna say leave it aside. Right now, I'm way more interested in Kahlan's story than Dreylan's (unsurprisingly, since we've barely started E,UD), and we can always come back to E,UD later. That said, didn't you say that E,UD might have an effect on E,TD later? Wouldn't postponing screw that up?

Post by: Narric on June 19, 2012, 11:58:36 AM
Hey guys.

Feel free to shoot me down. But may I rejoin this. I'm fairly certain I know what I did wrong last time. I had designed a character that was too close to RL me, and at the same time too different from myself, meaning decisions weren't the clearest to myself.

If you do accept me to join, I don't think I'll be continuing with Zothern, instead I give you two characters to choose from:

Atlas Cobalt - Male Dwarf (or similar race in context) Ranger/Warrior
Heralding from the mountains in the east, hearing of Daemons in need of slaying, and a whispered promiss of untold treasure should he succeed. He is roughly 300years old, and treats most humans as children in need of a good kicking up the jacksy.

He commonly insults others by refering to them as a Gully Dwarf. (if any of your have read Dragon Lance, you'd recognise this as the insult it is.)

Or

Charous Netch - Male Tiger Anthro-morph, with Draconic wings. Ranger/Warrior again
Charous hails from the north. His village and people dispersed and sluaghtered by powerful daemonic incursions. He fled south to hopefully join a band of warriors who would aid him in seeking revenge on the daemons, and those that would summon them. He is young, but very skill with a light-blade (light-weight, not light in your eyes :P). His wings allow him to act as a forward scout.

So may I rejoin?
Title: Re: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on June 19, 2012, 12:00:16 PM
I'd go with the dwarf, seems more fitting the setting. The other guy is likely to approach the group and be killed as a deamon :P

I was under the impression that there were no sentient non-human races. I remember asking about vampires at the start, and Rav said it was human only. In short, no Khajiit. As for the dwarf, he'd pretty much have to be a short human.

That said, I have no problems with you rejoining. I just think you may have to rethink your character. I wonder if you could be a daemon...

Alright, here's Altas Cobalt profile

Name: Atlas Cobalt
Age: 305
Gender: Male
Physical: Dwarfen, 4'9"
Personaliy/Bio:
Heralding from the mountains in the west, hearing of Daemons in need of slaying, and a whispered promiss of untold treasure should he succeed. He is roughly 300years old, and treats most humans as children in need of a good kicking up the jacksy.

He commonly insults others by refering to them as a Gully Dwarf. (if any of your have read Dragon Lance, you'd recognise this as the insult it is.)

Stats
Physical: (15-5) = 10
Mental: (15-6) = 9
Mystical: (15-1) = 14

Equipment:
- two axes. one is inscribed with a Rune of Sharpness, the other is inscribed with the Rune of Force.
- a intricate designed Flint Lock Pistol. It can fire up 3 shots at a time
- Chainmail
- Satchal with basic provisions



I tried to find the post about Stas, but it seems to have been lost to the warp. Can someone remind me about whether high number stats are good or bad :P

I've got an idea on how I'll introduce the character.

The forum crash mixed the E,TD RP thread with something from the necron board, I believe. It got fixed, but not before Ja'nus made a "did you guys hear something?

I think a comparison to Dragon Lance would be better. The characters for that, iirc, were something like this:

Human Paladin, Half-Elf Ranger, Dwarven Warrior, Human Barbarian, Human Wizard, Female Human Warrior with two Barbarian Warriors from a different land.

Going off your PC background, I can awnser that easily. Wether Tybalt can I don't know. It's gonna depend on your Dwarf back history for the setting and how we intergrate it. Do all Runes and Runic Script come from one ancestial source? If yes, does that mean Dwarves are related to humans in some way and how does that effect their magick use and knowledge. Do they only use Runic magick or do they use all different kinds.

Also, I don't know which Axe you handed me. :P I could choose one, roll and if I roll high enough, it's the right one.

It's also worth noting that the only real mountains west of Cyven, which we're a few days west of, are the Crumbling Rocks. A mountain range so extensively mined/quarried no path is entirely secure so a different location is probably a good idea. :P

It also might be worth clarifying your characters role.

You  said you were a ranger type guy, but you seem to be set up as a warrior. The pistol you have, in keeping with the setting would probably be one of these:

http://www.dave-cushman.net/shot/ducksfoot.html

But with only 3 barrels, which is definatly not a rangers weapon. You have heavy armour which is not ranger either. Unless of course you have written that bit out and I hadnt seen it.

Why don't they bother with humans? Their tech isn't advanced enough for humans to be that inferior, they can't exactly farm particularly well in the mountains so food could be a problem for them which trade with humans would solve.

I guess mountains are out of the question. What about digging into Cliff-faces? You can't tell me that the entire shoreline is a beech, and there is nothing akin to the cliffs of dover in this setting.

I think for humans, the age difference could become annoying. I'msure you wouldn't want to see friends grow old and die, just to be replaced by bratty children. For food, I got nothing. I figured the would be places that Dwarfs could dig to, that humans hadn't discovered yet, where the Dwarfs would start farms. An extinct volcano would have been excellent for that :P

I agree with Jan'us. I'd word that section like this;

Everything the Dwarves have is hand made and of intricate design, while still being obiviously functional. From the most basic bedroll to the most advanced and complex tunnelling machines. They waste nothing, recycling everyting that is of no use and even turning old mineshafts into homes, lodgings, storage and farms for the few things they can get to grow underground.

Even the least grandois, or poorest, Dwarf will have at least one thing that was created by a Grand Master, wether it is a blade, totem or a piece of clothing and will carry it with pride.

I'd then just copy the rest of that section in.

The cold is also very debilitating, meaning your actions will be somewhat less effective than normal. Be prepared.

Your search-fu is weak, Wargamer-san. :P

And for combat, I tend to roll the dice myself unless someone hands me a set of numbers to use from invisiblecastle.




If you want, for basic actions (ie: not super plot relevant, or harmful) you can roll the dice yourself, and then interpret the results into your post (ie: actually do some roleplay. :)).

The Formula

Roll 1: Compare this D20 roll to the applicable stat. Use common sense. Lifting a rock uses Physical. Looking for a specific item uses Mental. Trying to light something on fire (without flint/matches/etc) uses Mystical. If the roll exceeds your stat value, the action succeeds to a greater or lesser degree. A 1 always fails at the action, regardless of your degree of success. A 20 always succeeds, taking the best possible result.

Roll 2: This is the degree of your success. 1 is an abysmal failure, no matter what. 2-5 is marginal, like lifting the rock for a few seconds, or finding a lost pen (but of a different colour). 6-10 is moderate, such as moving a heavy rock by a few inches, or just holding it up until your arms give out, or actually finding the right pen. 11-19 is more successful, such as moving the rock without wearing yourself out, or finding all the dropped pens from a box. 20 is an automatic success, you just lifted that rock clear of the ground and flipped it over. You found every pen in the room, including the one that writes in invisible ink and the other that only works on a Tuesday. And if you were trying to ignite something

Oh, something I discussed with Oan a while back; is it possible for me to bestow power to others? For example, instead of using my divination to give myself a 'danger sense' (ie: get a vague idea of what's going to happen in the next few seconds of combat) could I empower another person with that ability? Likewise, can I create Chaosigan booby traps by planting runes on things?

Sounds more like something Zothern would do.

Speaking of which is he still with us?

How would Zothern do that? He's not the Geomancer :P And he is, but he is GM controlled, unless one of us is making use of him.

Post by: Narric on July 01, 2012, 05:51:09 PM
Truth be told, I was wondering what happened to my old character Zothern :P

Last I remember some story to him, Rav wrote that he had pissed off practically the entirety of Darrow, and had become some sort of Batman :P then the Demon house episode hit, and then the forum crash, and now its like he never existed.

Yet despite that, I remeber rav stating Zotherns Health in one of the more recent story posts by him.
Title: Re: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on July 01, 2012, 06:05:58 PM
Yeah we found him outside Darrow and he came along with us as an NPC.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: El ShasOcho on July 01, 2012, 06:18:41 PM
I was referring to Zothern being more likely to pull a Leeroy Jenkins, seeing as he has a tendency to rush into things.

Oh, something I discussed with Oan a while back; is it possible for me to bestow power to others? For example, instead of using my divination to give myself a 'danger sense' (ie: get a vague idea of what's going to happen in the next few seconds of combat) could I empower another person with that ability?
Rehd wouldn't be able to do that. Red/blood magick is entirely self-serving; it only benefits the caster.
Blue/soul magick is the opposite; it rarely benefits the caster, but often helps their comrades.

Quote
Likewise, can I create Chaosigan booby traps by planting runes on things?
Only runesmiths can make runes.
You can, however, set traps by using certain spell elements. Like the sense of a Seer placed in a small glass bauble, enmeshed with the power of unmaking. That would be a life/magick activated mine.




Also, I have combat PMs from Jayne, ESO, TD, Mabbz, Mkoll, and Narric.
Since you're fighting as well, I need one from you too Wargamer. (three short combat related actions)

And to those discussing it, yes, Zothern is still in the party.

May as well. At some point I might have to photoshop a picture of princess Fiona from Shrek and claim she's Kahlan. And maybe stick a staff in the hands of a Ringwraith and claim it's Galithir.

How did Ja'nus get silenced? He's not in range of the Qetus rune, so I'm guessing the cryomancer is a mystic as well. Still, at least Qetus worked and I can leave Emily to not freeze.

I'm going to hope that the others will keep the cryomancer busy while I sprint to Ja'nus. Can I fix his magic?

Also, I'm quite glad Rehd is on our side. Two kills already is pretty impressive.

Do it. Kahlan and I are going for Ja'nus, so if Rehd also goes for the cryomancer, Atlas and Zothern hit the mercs, and I cover us as we run, this should work.

Also, Skeith has a character beginning with A, and another with Z. I did not notice that before...

He can, but it will need to be a very good roll.

Quote
Also, did I interpret my rolls right?
You did, although healing isn't a set amount, it's based on a dice roll determined by your 'effect' roll. (you're good for now though)
Healing injuries halves the amount of HP regenerated, and serious/critical/complex injuries negate HP recovery in favour of actually fixing the problem.
1: 0 HP
2-5: D4 HP
6-10: D6 HP
11-15: D8 HP
16-19: D12 HP
20: D20 HP
Anything over 15 on your 'skill check' roll lets you roll 2DX, and take the highest.

Wargamer, point of interest on your 'charge/dash' magick: the difficulty modifier starts to grow exponentially after about 30 feet of distance. Maximum distance is roughly a hundred feet, but in special cases (criticals, high Essence density, etc) it can be a fair amount longer.

Railgun Convention: dice rolls are done in pairs, not singly. You have a D20 for the 'skill check' to see if what you're trying actually goes off, then another D20 for your 'effects/results', to see how well it did or did not work.

As for my rolls, I would have rolled... 1d12=2, 1d12=8 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3597712/). I guess that means I'd recover 4 hp (since I'm healing a specific wound), which would put me at 12 hp, not 13. Want me to change it?

In that case, it would be your Mental stat, with a -5 modifier (bandages are not hard to apply, neither is it hard to get them in the right place).
Effects roll would have them loose/ill-fitting at 1-5; good enough at 6-19, and applied like a medical professional at 20. (If you are an actual medical professional, 1 is loose, 4-10 is good enough, and 11-20 is 'medical professional' level.)

Rav, can we please use the Merc that I sort of knocked out for interrogation purposes? Such as finding out who and why the oil plant was target?

He's been left behind by his "comrades" so I doubt he has much care for them.
Well, you can certainly try

Now to let the rest of the group say their final farewells. As Atlas is new to the group, he will simply offer his sympathy, and recognise a great mage for what he is.

Not bad... I wouldn't let you have that if there was enough essence around to heal you, but given the circumstances, Kahlan wont object unless you start eating him. Post that in the RP thread to see everyone elses reaction.

Also, what did my search turn up? Was this the guy carrying the rifle? If so it should be worth a fair sum. If not then his sword/axe. Maybe his share of the payment, any supplies ect.

I think Ja'nus had 18 gold? Which is in a purse in his bag. Zothern can go through it later and determine what needs to be done with the items. Food and so on, there are still some strips of dried meats in there.

I dont suppose that there is any chance of the cold combats getting discovered/rewritten? It seems that the crash selectivly picked out anything epic and destroyed it. We go from walking down a corridor to walking down a corridor with some interesting stories and toys.

The Golem
The encounter with Seia
The Shadowmage outside Darrow and meeting Emily
The Direwolves in the Manor
The Fell Bears and the Dragon and Nemesis in the city.

All of these are missing and it is a great shame because of the amazing story telling involved.

I have all the combats saved. Not many of the story posts though, I'm afraid.

I am going on holiday for a week, starting tomorrow. I'm not sure if I have internet access, if I do then I'll try and post as normal (there will probably be delays though). If not, Kahlan will do the following:

1) if we get into a fight, she will defend herself, then heal whoever needs its, then attack (probably with throwing knives)

2) if we get into any other situation, Kahlan will do whatever seems sensible (heal if someone get hurt, for example)

3) if anyone talks to her, she will either harmlessly flirt (if it's Marcus, or if she needs to talk her way out of a bad situation), make sensible conversation (in most cases), or make snide remarks (if it's an idiot that isn't in the group)

4) if anyone is seriously coming on to her, refuse, then cut them open if they persist ;)

Since Ocho is going to be unavailable too, I don't trust you guys not to make Kahlan sleep with Marcus or something. That's why I'm not putting anyone specific in charge of her :P

Well, I was waiting for the posts from last monday (or whenever it was) to be restored before posting. Shall we continue as if I had knocked out Rehd in case they show up again, or have I missed my moment now?

Also, just a reminder that we were about to set up camp when the battle started.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on July 30, 2012, 10:47:19 AM
Well we can assume you hit him, and then if/when they get restored it will all work out. And camp it is.


EDIT: What did we get off of the merc that Rehd interogated? Seems he was tyhe one that killed Ja'nus, so he would have a rifle at least, which would come in handy.

I'd rather we start walking, and Rav give us a short narrative that egst us to Cyvern. :P

The posts in the main thread are a bit confusing to follow. Some imply walking together, others imply we haven't left camp-ground yet.

Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on August 01, 2012, 11:43:07 PM
I think after Mabbz post it became implied that we were walking.

I do like Rehd, his character provides some much needed friction that works very well.

I concur. There were too many goodie two shoes before (guilty as charged), it feels more realistic now.

I also agree that we are walking, because the sooner we start walking the sooner we can stop walking, be it reaching cyven or being attacked again, which is much more interesting than walking.

Post by: InsaneTD on August 02, 2012, 02:35:18 AM
Yeah, if I had to classify him, Tybalt is probably Lawful Good. I prefer to play Lawful Neutral, fits my mind set better, but that's the way Tybalt's ended up. Funny how some chatacters evolve and grow as we play them.

Also, if this was a book, Tybalt's reply would be right after Oan's comment. But I wasn't on at the time.
Title: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: El ShasOcho on August 02, 2012, 02:44:14 AM
Marcus seems to be pretty solidly lawful good. Although he values a person's character and doing the right thing before following the law, so would that make him more neutral good?
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: InsaneTD on August 02, 2012, 02:51:13 AM
DnD 3.5 suggests a character like Marcus would be Lawful neutral, in that his strong personal code is represented by his Lawful alignment, while he is still capable of thinking about or doing 'evil' things. While not evil, it wouldn't be unheard of for him to loot a corpse, or rob an evil person. He just doesn't do it more often then not. If playing to strict alignment, a lawful good character would never loot a corpse or rob someone, even for a good cause as it is unlawful and evil.
Title: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: El ShasOcho on August 02, 2012, 02:56:33 AM
That makes sense. Hard to be pure good and survive in a world like this.

Perhaps my last post will provide a bit of insight into Marcus.

But wouldn't it be more toxin removal then energy restoration? Latic acid is what makes you feel tired and stumble, raw energy would be provided by snacking on jerky and such so it would be more the build up of latic acid that would be the problem.


Edit; Wargamer, Ignoring the conversation as pointless, Rehd watched as a cloaked man stepped quietly out of the tavern. His cloak had no sleeves, and something on his arms flashed in the light from the gaslamps lighting the street. Red flecks. Bloodstone. Biting his lip for the tiniest amount of blood magick, Rehd reached out with his other sense. There was no mistaking those mageline tattoos, or the fierce aura this man projected. It was the red mage from his vision, the wild chaosigan. And Atlas' annoyance at a mere sign had just saved them from being noticed by him. Didn't you read the post? :P

So, I vote that after we finish with our various activities of the day, we find a bar, drink to Ja'nus' memory, exchange random anecdotes (and maybe have another story post retelling one of our battles) and wake up with very little memory of the previous evening.

Opinions? I would have suggested it in character but I didn't want to double post and I couldn't decide how to say it.

That sounds like a plan. :)

Also, just to clarify as Ocho's post may have confused things slightly, Oan is going wandering and looking for a way to get an audience with the King, or a library with an up to date Atlas to get the lay of the land ahead.

Drives are Narric's responsibility.

As for gold, well, I'm going to say that Dwarven gold/currency is somewhat different from human money. (Which means that yes, I'm going to have to make a currency conversion table).

I think Dwarven Culture normally revolves around Barter and Trade rather then currency doesn't it? And I'd assume a Dwarf that has been travelling away from Hold and Home for a while would have 'local' currency.

It's whatever Narric wrote for them.
Speaking of which, I can't find said message in my PM's, so I think it was eaten by the forum glitch a while ago. If you could re-send that one please Narric.

Also, Atlas probably does have some human coin, but he's also travelling between dwarven cities as well, so he'd have a fair amount of dwarven coin too.

Tybalt, Emily and Oan firing at him from a distance, Zothern, Marcus and Atlas moving from different directions to engage him up close, Kahlan and Xan healing everyone as much as possible and Rehd getting into a good poisition for his favorite coup de gras.

If he wasn't a Red Mage (he is right?) I would ask if Tybalt had some method of removing essence from the area since his strength and size are things that can be dealt with by staying at range, however his magical abilities are a lot tougher.

Perhaps we could tell Lady Cyven what he said and she will come whoop him?

Could he inscribe Qetus on a bullet, arrow or rock and then we could fire/throw it at him? It might not stop him using sacrificial magick, but he'd have to self-harm to use that.

I still think you lot are wrong. Every post I've seen Rav post about him suggests he doesn't care about us, just the Mercs who killed Jan'us. It's Wargamer who first implied he'd be after us and I have no idea where he got that idea.

Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on September 10, 2012, 01:00:33 AM
Well if this guy is linked to Ja'nus in some way, and he spotted Oan and seemed to fix on him, then the fact that we were even WITH Ja'nus puts us on the list. And if he thinks we might be responsible for his death, he doesnt seem like the guy to take that lightly.

Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on September 10, 2012, 02:04:08 AM
Self fullfilling prophecy then. He is coming after us because Oan is running from him because we had a vision of him coming after us.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: InsaneTD on September 10, 2012, 02:11:06 AM
There was no vision of him coming after us. Wargamer said may, then everyone started think he was. Go back and read Rav's posts. The only mention of him going after anyone is him chasing the Mercs. Everything else has come from Wargamer and your reading of what has been said since. The vision post is on page 21.


edit; Which is probably good replaying on Wargys part, Rehd's life and experiences would colour his perception of Red Mages as he has only had to hunt and deal with the dangerous ones.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on September 10, 2012, 02:18:46 AM
I know. I remember it clearly. Consider, Kraytor knew of Ja'nus' death because he "could smell it" on the merc. We can reasonalbly assume that this is some form of chaos magic and he was just using smell as artistic license. If he can tell that Ja'nus is dead, he may easily know that Oan was involved, even if he wasnt responsible.

Also, we can also reasonably assume that if he has intterogated anyone before, they are likely to have talked. Even Tybalts gunsmith friend knew that Ja'nus was in our party, so Kraytor almsot certainly did. Our story is spreading, our adventure becoming folk tale already.

If Kraytor knows that Ja'nus SHOULD be with us, even if he doesnt know he is dead, he would still come after us because apparently Ja'nus matters to him in someway. Oans reaction may well be based on a misunderstanding of Rehds vision, but the end result might be the same.

I'll do that if you like? I've no internet at home so I'm running out of things to do, and right now I need to keep my mind busy. :P Shouldn't take me more than a day or so.

With regards to me running and him chasing, I've just seen the guy beat down King's Guard without even trying, he's become aware of me seeing this, why am I not going to run? I know I can't take him alone. Also, my guess is his abilityto "smell" Jan'us' death on us is an activated ability, not passive, hence him not attacking at the tavern.

As I understand it, most mages can sense areas of high / low magical potency. Red Mages, drawing their power from the life-force of others (directly via the blood) would most likely be able to sense other people by that means. Of course, the question is whether they can tell the difference between a Human and an animal, or whether lone individuals or small groups can pass under the radar, so to speak.

Normally it requires a loom, a mage, and a magickal substance to be woven through the fabric substrate.

Double posting to avoid spamming the Enclave.

So who are we to send to meet with the assassins? My vote would come down between Oan and Tybalt. Te staff should be taken if we send Oan, as it wouldnt be classed as a weapon in the hands of a non mage. If we send Tybalt, we have to hope that there wont be any Quetus Runes to dampen his abilities as he wont be able to take his rifle or a sword.

On reflection, Oan is probably the one to sacrif-. . .send. . . :P

I think regardless of who goes they shouldn't be unarmed. A mage is never without weapons, why should we disadvantage ourselves when we neither know nor trust the person we're meeting or the person arranging it?

Post by: Mabbz on September 12, 2012, 09:49:26 PM
I'll lend a dagger or two to whoever goes. As for who goes, I suggest Zothern. He knows as much as Oan or Tybalt, and he's basically a spare character once Jayne takes control of his new one. Besides, a guard is less valuable than a runesmith or a ranger as far as I'm concerned.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on September 12, 2012, 10:01:32 PM
Arent assassins somewhat honourable though? Nil mortificare sine lucre and all that? They need Kraytor out the way because he is causing them issues of some kind. They said send the one who was closest to Ja'nus, which wasnt Zothern.

As for being armed, one on one, or one on however many are there, which one of us other than Rehd could take on a master assassin even with a couple of daggers at hand.

We know magick can be stopped, we know there are kinds of magick in Cyven that we have never encountered, and we know that these people are VERY dangerous.

2 points:

1, Tybalt can't use a mage staff. :P
2, He can send up a flare if he needs rescued. Anyone else we send would have to get back to us before we know they are in trouble.

Are we all agreed on heading back to the workshop (does it have a name or is it just Tybalts workshop?) to discuss what we have found out?

If we are then Rav can get the next bit up without wondering what we are doing in the meantime.

Yes, I am.

Because Nyrvan is one of the northern gods.
Like Jin and Eryje are eastern goddess, Skol and Nyrvan belong to the north.

It means that only people native to the north (or steeped in northern culture & spirituality for their entire upbringing) are capable of learning the canticles belong to those gods.
None of you happen to be native to the north, and nobody thought to ask if different regions had different gods

At this point I'm happy with Tryrus as my backup character and wish to explore him as a character. Not that I'm in a rush to lose Tybalt.

Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on September 18, 2012, 09:04:27 AM
Just because I may have missed it, we seem to be operating under the assumption that we are sending a person to the brothel to meet with Cherry AND Kraytor. Was this actually stated? I recall Cherry telling Rehd that we should bring the person closest to Ja'nus to the brothel, but I dont recall mention of what would actually be done, or that Kraytor was going to be there aswell.

If all we are doing is sending someone to talk to the assassins and maybe learn something useful, its a different story. I would still vote to send Oan, but we wouldnt have to be so worried about serious injury or a huge scrap breaking out.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: InsaneTD on September 18, 2012, 02:07:02 PM
Well the only stipulation placed on the meeting was unarmed and knew Jan'us. Oan or whoever could go in wearing their full armour.

I'd also like to point out that Tybalt has managed to avoid duels with the nobles often city, partly because he's popular, partly because is a runesmith but mostly cause he managed to either not step in it or talk his way out of trouble. He's also had to haggle with suppliers and others to set up the workshop and run it.

All of which was part of his character background I originally posted and implied in it.

Still, Oan is the best choice.

I have a few plans for the Eye. I am still working on Kraytors deity worship. Its not Rai-Tane obviously, it may be more akin to the Eldar God, even though he doesnt know it. He is a Chaosigan and a Shaman, so he draws power from the earth and from life around him. Something which we should find very hand as a group. He also has blood magicks, so there is some worship of Morrde there.

He will be an interesting embodiment of life and death.

I'm always up for some sparring. Not sure how we'd roll for it though.

Come to think of it, I still have Galithir's staff. We could both train with staffs. It probably wouldn't be as useful for you as if I used my knives though, so better not.

Hmm... of course, having Kraytor join the group does present one problem. We'll have to put the whole drinking to Ja'nus' memory thing off for a day or two. It will most likely be too soon for him otherwise.

I'm going to be honest guys. I've lost track of what my character should be doing, or is doing right now.

Before my internet cut-out (used up my allowance), I'd RP'd Atlas to find a safe place. So far as I know, Rav didn't write anything about it, but the story seems to have progressed beyond the point that any safe-house Atlas found is even needed.

So how the heck am I going to crowbar myself back into this? I don't want to fall out of the RP again, and seeing the RP thread in my Unread Message box kills me every time I can't think of what to actually "RP."

I'll re-read the last two pages and try and figure it out myself, but I don't want to fuck something up, like suddenly teleporting into the room and pretending like I was their from the start.

The bar we were in before Khalan, Kraytor, Tybalt and myself left was the safehouse you found. It's fairly safe to assume you've been there with us, keeping to yourself while the rest of us spoke about Jan'us as you didn't know him that well.

Being tipsy adds +3 to the relevant stat (so you still managed to get the magick off).
Being tired reduces the effectiveness of the action by one step (meaning you'll have slightly less of a headache in the morning, rather than no headache. You're still tipsy for now).

Tybalt is quite happy to sit and wait.

What happened to updating the other game?

How about we stop then end of mankind and then worry about personal slights? :P

I'm assuming that the South falling into chaos would result in the end of mankind anyway. Without trade from Cyven, Darrow etc Hygar and the other Northern cities would start to struggle for some resources as well as certain skills so it would probably only be a matter of time.

The machine is definatly going regardless. It's too powerful to leave standing and it changes the balance of power far too much. It may also lead to the dilution of essence if it ever became easier to manipulate it with machinery.

Plus, nobody silences me and gets away with it.

Well if it serves use as a telescope, which it certainly seemed to, before it fell over through absolutly no falult of my own, it doesnt now.

The way the Lady was discussing Naturomancy led me to associate the machince, as we have had the rules of magick explained to us. Nobody can do everything properly and Naturomancy seems to be just that. Then I remebered the device that was found at the airship dock that was tracking the airships by a kind of magick that nobody present recognized.

It is probable to assume then that harnessing magick with machines is possible and a huge focussing thingy seems like a bad thing to let someone have.

Plus, as a Red Shaman, Kraytor is distrustful of most modern technology. Only simple things seems safe to him. "The old ways" are familiar, safe, and he is not a fast man to adapt because he has never needed to. His villiage was not huge, not advanced and his family were the main source of magickal power. In his mind magick is a precious and all powerful thing, not to be used by the common rabble. He is arrogant in his power and has no time for potential threats to it.

He even worships nature and the original creator, even though he doesnt know it exactly. Anything that is unnatural is inferior, and while he sees that progress is inevitable, he doesnt have to like it and only really "approves" of the simplest technology, and even that he has little use for himself.

The lack of human contact has made him reactionary aswell, so even if he didnt hate the machine, Lady Cyven just silenced him against his will and THAT will definatly not go unpunished.

Hmm, that's a point can runes be undone, or broken by non runesmiths that are still magic users?
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: InsaneTD on November 23, 2012, 05:53:50 PM
I'd just be invoking it which has a set time limit. Even inscribed runes discharge eventually. The right combo will last a long time, but will still fade.

And Rav said yesterday that a strong/powerful enough mage can break a rune. I think a non mage can in some cases but would probably end up as a smoking pair of boots as the power is released. My guess is it would short to earth through the idiot.


Edit: Rav, would the rune of indestructability mean that a blade would never nick or go blunt? Blunting of the blade is basicly it being rounded off which is a type of damage.

I believe I covered this earlier (like, before the meltdown), but the general idea was that while the blade would be a hell of a lot tougher than usual, and lasting a whole lot longer too, it wouldn't be literally indestructible.

Yes.

Marcus and Atlas are facing off against three black guardians in the middle of the road. The fourth is hanging back, while the fifth daemon is halfway between those two and Xan's ghost bears. (Note: Ghost bears are simply large, white bears of unknown provenance.) Zothern is slumped against a wall, badly injured, while Xan is hiding on the far side of the road, directing his summoned creatures to attack. Rehd is on the far side of the battle from Xan and Zothern, ready to attack the nearest daemons from behind.

The others are about halfway from the Drunken Midget to Tybalt's shop. You're at the Royal Palace. About four miles separates those locations, so no, you're unlikely to make it in time.

Technically.
He got a double critical and did over 30 damage in one hit.
The backlash/thunderclap from that is what launched him.

While her mystical ability is slightly lower than Xan's, she has the advantage of having only one canticle, and years of experience with it from her previous employment.

Xan's not that terrible, he just rolls like a muppet. :P

Well Tybalt offered to work on peoples equipment, which so far has been ignored, Jayne is being impatient and has made his Charcter storm off and done something to some free captain, Oan was planning something but I forget what it was now, I'd know if I read back a page, and everyone else is just sitting in Tybalt's workshop like stunned mullets.

I plan for Tybalt to do some work to earn somemore money while he is in the city. He won't take any orders that will take more then a day and only one or two of those.

You are not the only one.
After the first crash I was kinda crushed by how much we'd lost. Then the second crash did away with most of the archived posts which had me nearly tearing my hair out. Slow as the updates may be, this RP is my baby, and I hate to see it hurt.

Hey, it just occurred to me that Galithir might have been able to Jedi mind trick people with illusionism. It would appear that force is strong with their family :D.

Oh, I don't think I've mentioned it before, but Kahlan does have a surname. The reason she hasn't mentioned it is because she doesn't like being called Miss Pleasant. Galithir avoided using it too.

Mysticism is under Deaze. It's also just a generic term I use for people's understanding of magick.

Artificer = magick through creation, controls constructs of a technological nature

Rai-Tane

Hmm... As I recall, it's only possible to learn canticles from adjacent schools, so Kahlan isn't using true Mysticism. She just has a decent level of skill and understanding of how magick works. Pity, I quite like the idea of being a healer/mystic/rogue. Ah well, at least I get to play tennis with magick :).

Well we have an excellent, if non lethal fight post again. Wooo!

Because of how the canticles are  balanced up there, I have a tricky time working out exactly what I am able to do with Kraytor. He doesn't technically fit, not like Ja'nus did. Ja'nus was simple, fire, earth, magma. Nice.

Coming up with the more exotic abilities Kraytor might have is somewhat more complex. And using some of his powers might risk harming the party at the same time and the bigger attacks tend to draw on the life energy around him.

If that last post seemed to intellectual for a street healer, then bear in mind that Galithir wouldn't have let his only daughter grow up on the streets. I can put up a full biography if you want, but suffice it to say she had some formal training in magick (among other things) as a child.

Post by: Mabbz on July 31, 2013, 05:39:57 PM
So... I'm trying to remember who we actually have still alive and well. Let me know if I miss anyone or get their skills wrong.

Kahlan (Healer, rogue (I guess))
Marcus (Fighter)
Atlas (Fighter, pistol)
Tybalt (Runesmith, fighter, rifle)
Rehd (Chaosigan, assassin)
Kraytor (Shaman, Chaosigan? I can't really remember)
Alexander (Healer, Summoner, pistol?)
Oan (Ranger)
Emily (Seer, pistols)
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on July 31, 2013, 09:51:20 PM
Kraytor is a Chaosigan and a Shaman yes.
Title: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: Mabbz on July 31, 2013, 10:29:30 PM
Thought so, I just blanked. We have quite a lot of people.

So, I'm thinking in future battles Kahlan, Xan and Emily can stay back providing support, Atlas and Marcus should deal with most melee fighting, Oan and Tybalt can join either of those groups as the situation demands, Rehd can outflank and assassinate people and Kraytor could probably do any of the above, although I'm thinking support with magic would be the best idea. Hard to say until I've seen him in a real battle.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on July 31, 2013, 11:27:10 PM
Mkoll and I had a discussion on this a while back. Back field was Tybalt, Xan and Emily. The rifle has good range, and runes work ad good distances it seems, and if Emily happens to See at all, she can give direction, Xans pistols can provide additional support.

Mid field was Kahlan so she can move around healing people and Oan so he can arrow people in the face. Rhed could work off by starting here and moving quickly into the target, or he could outflank.

Front line was Atlas and Marcus and Zothern because they have the best primary CC skills.

Kraytor is a tricky one. He can use immensly powerful destructive magicks with high fall out, or he can boost the stamina of the group as a whole and provide more essence for the other mages to use. His CC skills are powerful, but as the sparring session showed, not skilled. IF he managed to hit the target with his fists, high damage will be done, but the odds of hitting are low.

He can draw power from the blood that flows from the enemies we harm, or he can draw it from the life energy around him. That means the grass, the trees, the people, anything.

They go thusly.

Roll 2D20.
Compare the first to your Mystical stat. If the roll is equal or higher, your spell worked.
The second D20 determines the effectiveness of your healing.
1: 1 HP
2-5: D4 HP
6-10: D6 HP
11-15: D8 HP
16-19: D12 HP
20: D20 HP

If your first roll was at least 5 points higher than your Mystical stat, roll 2DX on the above chart, taking the highest roll for healing amount.

That's fine.
A Nat 1 is normally a critical fail, while a Nat 20 is normally a critical success.
I usually rule a 1/20 or a 20/1 as being a pass on the roll, but only just. (ie, the 1 and 20 cancel out each other's effects.)

Hopefully I'll have a big decently sized update up by the end of tomorrow.
There'll be a small time-skip as the airship isn't supposed to depart for three days (nobody thought to ask the captain of the schedule), so everyone will be back at full health and stocked on weapons, ammo, supplies, etc. Reasonable upgrades in gear are allowed, just tell me what you want, and I'll add it to your character sheet. You'll also want to prepare for an arctic environment—past the Blackfang Range it gets very cold, very fast. I'll work out everyone's wealth again after stuff has been bought.

Oan won't be able to get the Eximus rune forged on his blade as nowhere in the city are there enough materials to invoke the rune properly. More on this in the RP post. Everyone else will be gathered on the airship, while Zothern will be left with the healers in the city. (Or, if you insist on taking him with you, he can be dragged along in the airship).

You could get Runic gear, but it's pricey.

You could simply get fur lined clothing, and/or a heavy cloak. You don't—and probably won't—wear all of it when you fight anyway.

A possibility, certainly.
There's also quilting/fur linings, and Enmeshed materials.

Silver hurts daemons more than lead or steel, but not be a huge amount. Silver is also not the best metal to make combat ready weapons out of (as a base, but as a coating it's fine).
I may just let you try and stab them with the good silverware though. :P

Fair enough, I'll take some practical fur lined clothing. Although I am also tempted to buy an extravagant fur coat, the kind Cruella DeVille might wear. Probably not worth it though.

A fur lined hooded travelling cloak that I can wear over my normal leather jacket will be fine. It won't interfere with my combat abilities in any real way and Kraytor is used to the cold, maybe not to this degree, but he is an outdoorsman.

Will things in Ja'nus' pouch be safe from the cold, or will it affect anything in there too?

The pouch is affected by the ambient temperature in the same way as a normal rucksack would be.
As far as I can see on the character sheets I have, there's nothing in the pouch that would be terribly affected by the cold.

You can say that.
I have all the info you wrote. There's nothing mentioned either way about Dwarves being resistant or vulnerable to the cold. At best, with Atlas's much stockier build, he'll be less affected by it than the others, but he'll still be affected to some degree.

You wanted a full set.
I told you about the practicalities of full plate, and you decided that just carrying around a breastplate was better. Protected all the important squishy bits.

We can always say that it was just part of a set you used while out in the world, and the rest has been at your shop until now.

Five decks.
Bottom deck off limits. Deck 2-3 cargo & fuel. Deck 4 crew, engineering & passengers. Top deck off limits.
Deck 4 layout is 16 cabins, 8 a side, central corridor. Galley at one end, access ladder to the promenade deck at the other. Aft of the galley is the engineering section, spanning the upper 3 decks and containing the engines. Forward of the access ladder is the pilothouse.
Deck 2 has cargo running down its length, covered in netting. Fuel fore and aft. Deck 2 has fuel/transported liquid at the sides and cargo down the centre again. Stairs at each end and a rope lift/dumb waiter aft of centre.

Let's see how this goes. Oh, as for the elocution lessons, here is some more of the backstory of Kahlan Pleasant. Marcus might know these things, but I haven't spoken much to the rest of you about my past.

Following the death of his wife, Galithir wanted revenge on the daemons. But obviously he couldn't take his baby with him, so he gave her to an elderly relative. Great aunt Helena was a bit senile. She used to be very wealthy, and had an aristocratic upbringing. She refused to let her standards fall, despite being the only member of her family still alive. As such, Kahlan was given a similar upbringing which included a number of formal lessons in etiquette, elocution, medicine (after she discovered her talent for healing) and ballroom dancing.

Kahlan was 9 when she died of some illness. It turned out she owed a lot of money for various things, so Kahlan found herself on the streets. She started out by stealing food, and it all sort of escalated from there as she fell in with street gangs, learned to fight and some other things and eventually became the healer she is today.

Rav, regarding your updates. You tend to write very long and well written story posts, and I will never complain about them. But you usually write both sides of the conversation. May I suggest just doing one side, and letting us do our own dialogue? It would make your updates considerably shorter (possibly only a few lines), allowing you to write them faster and fit them into your schedule better, meaning you could update more often. It would also let us do what we came here to do: roleplay.

Don't get me wrong, I love this RP, and I've never had a problem with the way you wrote my characters, but I think my idea might help.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on November 08, 2013, 08:07:56 PM
It might make it faster, but what we say might not fit in with where we need to go or what we need to actually accomplish at that time, thus derailing and making Rav have to spend more time getting us back on the right course.

Rav, regarding your updates. You tend to write very long and well written story posts, and I will never complain about them. But you usually write both sides of the conversation. May I suggest just doing one side, and letting us do our own dialogue? It would make your updates considerably shorter (possibly only a few lines), allowing you to write them faster and fit them into your schedule better, meaning you could update more often. It would also let us do what we came here to do: roleplay.

Don't get me wrong, I love this RP, and I've never had a problem with the way you wrote my characters, but I think my idea might help.
You have a good point there Mabbz, it's just that I tend to like writing larger stories than smaller fragments, and maybe I'm a bit selfish about it if I'm perfectly honest—I think of this story as "my" story, when I know in reality it belongs more to you, the players.

It might make it faster, but what we say might not fit in with where we need to go or what we need to actually accomplish at that time, thus derailing and making Rav have to spend more time getting us back on the right course.
You assume you were on the right course in the first place. :P

I haven't seen anything to suggest that they especially dislike dwarves. Of course, if they take a disliking to Atlas (which would be understandable), then we could try that plan.

Ah, see I'm a more lazy GM than you ;). I can get your reasoning; the question of who owns the story is a tricky one. I personally agree that it is your story, as long as the characters are ours. You've never taken it to the point that I feel railroaded or anything, so I'm happy. I just like writing dialogue for Kahlan. Maybe I should flirt with Marcus more.

There is a rune that makes you more likeable, but it won't make everyone that sees you fall for you.
People will just think you're a nice person—even if you wind up beating someone with their own boots. Everyone else will still think you're fairly nice, and that you have a good reason for doing whatever it is you're doing.

It isn't an easy rune to forge, and isn't exactly common either, but it does exist.

No.


I take it there is a counter rune. That is more common merely cause innkeepers, store owners and Lords and Ladies don't like being on the receiving end?

There is.
Also, most things that detect/drain magick do the same to runes of that nature, meaning they're kind of hard to hide. And of course if everyone seems to like someone for no easily explained reason then questions get asked and rumours get started...

So, hard to forge, easy to counter, might make people suspicious, Tybalt won't like it, and Kahlan wouldn't approve either. Still, interesting...

Strikes me as something the general public wouldn't actually know about, but something the upper class would use. Say Mayors of decent size towns, landed lords. Kings wouldn't generally want it and would have their court covered by a mana draining rune.

Of course, the criminal underworld would know about this with con artists working their entire careers trying to get one, and the big boss crime lords, guild leaders, using it to help make them look respectable in society.

Hmm, I have ideas for Tybalt's shop, but not sure it would work. Have to think on this.




Is there a "clear mind" rune? Basic idea is that it covers an area and neutralizes mind affect magicks/runes.

Surprisingly, no.
Runes tend to be quite specific, with specific counter-runes as well.

There is however a Rune of Focus, and you also know of the Rune of Silence. With a specific third rune (which I still have to figure out) you could get something close to the effect you want.

I want a shop wide counter to mind/mood effecting runes and magick, without just silencing the area of mana. So I can still have the magick display cases and other protective/security runes working.

A quick aside on the duelling culture in Hygar:

Duels are always matters of honour, and almost always to the death (the northmen value strength above all else). The challenger names the time and place, the challenged party names the weapons (or skills), and decides whether there will be Seconds.

There is no legal penalty for causing a fatality in a duel. However, weregild (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weregild) must be paid to the appropriate guild/house/council as restitution for the death. As it stands, mistress Anatalya is worth 350 Silvers (29g2s) in weregild. (She's from a noble house, and serves as a skilled an valuable mercenary captain) Kraytor's price in weregild would be reckoned at only 200 Silvers (16g8s), the base price for any mage.

To decline a duel is considered a great dishonour among the inhabitants of Hygar, but is not technically illegal. There is dishonour implied if the challenger is either of much greater rank, or much greater skill than the challenged party. Anatalya is a slightly better mage than Kraytor only because she use a single canticle as opposed to Kraytor's two.

"There is dishonour implied if the challenger is either of much greater rank, or much greater skill than the challenged party."

Seems like it should be the opposite. The should be no dishonour is turning down a duel you cannot possibly win because your opponant is a grand high overlord and you are a peasant, or because they can bend reality with their mind and you risk killing yourself with a potato peeler.

I should probably rephrase that bit.
The dishonour in this case belongs to the challenger, for asking to duel someone so far below their own station.




Also, the good news:
Anatalya is scared of Kraytor now.
Kraytor is still alive.

The bad news... well, let's just say it involves dice. Lots of dice.

As a thought about getting this going a little more, seeing as many of the players arent very active anymore, what do people think about moving this to a closed facebook group? Just ad the players and any member who specifically wants to follow along. We are all on FB and the reply system to specific comments in a thread would allow us to keep better track of who is addressing who.

Rav could make the post, we then respond to it until we get to the next bit of story, or an event happens.

I'm not that keen. It's not a bad idea, but I don't like the FB comment box particularly. Besides, aside from the GED thread, this is the largest topic on the forum. Moving it makes me feel bad.

On the other hand, if we moved to FB I might be able to persuade some non-members to join. I have some friends that would probably enjoy this.

It could, however, work very well for the planned Diaspora game when this RP eventually wraps up.

The RP board is unrestricted. One of my players joined the forum solely for my RP. I've never been entirely sure how that fits with forum policy, but I decided not to question it since he's probably my most active player.

First of all, I know that. I wasn't being particularly serious. I probably should have added an emoticon of some kind to my last post :P

Second, I wasn't planning to actually do that, although it is something I could picture Kahlan saying...

I'd prefer to use one of my own characters, but if that'd be too much hassle I could pick up one of the abandoned folks. Should I post him here, or PM?

If we are in Hygar long enough, we could reasonably meet a new person. So far we have Kraytor, Oan Fencer, Emily, Tybalt and Kahlan [last name censored]. Marcus, Rehd, Xan and Zothern are all idle I think. Although Zothern is dying horribly back in Cyven.

At this point, not that either Oan or Emily are aware of. Lady Cyven saw the thread of essence straight away though so a mage of the same school, and possibly of others could detect the link though I honestly have no idea how hard it would be to do so, that would be something you'd need to discuss with Rav.

Hector, it'd be nice to have a new member here. :) The active members at the minute are a Runesmith armed with a rifle (Tybalt, aka Tybalt), a Dwarf (Narric, aka Atlas) a Healer who fights with twin knives (Mabbz, aka Khalan), a Shaman (Jayne aka Kraytor), a Seer who has a pair of pistols (Emily, NPC) and a Ranger (myself, Oan). As has been pointed out there's a range of idlers who are essentially NPCs at this point so pretty much any character build would be useful. :)

Dwarves are supposed to be very rare in this setting. Narric's lucky he got a dwarf (because he actually went and did some world-building to justify their existence). I'm not saying you can't have a second dwarf in the party—I'm saying you're going to have work hard to convince me we need a second dwarf in the party (as opposed to say, a human barbarian).

Classes in XDM are very freeform. If you can think of a name for something that links a certain set of skills with a certain spread of stats, it's probably a class. Currently everyone in the party has one of four classes: Mage, Ranger, Runesmith, Warrior.

Skills are also handled in much the same way, and can be a lot more versatile too. Such as using pyromancy to weld, or heat a room, or cook. Or using wilderness skills to track a target in a large crowd through a city; etc. In combat you just say what you want to happen—then dice are rolled, and we see how closely reality matches your desires. No one's complained about it yet. Too much. :P

And if the character creation system isn't somewhere back in thread, I'll re-post it yet again, with some more notes about the setting.

You basically just post what your character is doing, and Rav will roll some dice to see if it works. The main exception is combat, which I'll let someone else explain.

Have you been playing lots of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, by any chance? Is Lynette an assassin?

That's a gross over-simplification. I decide whether it's worth rolling dice. Then I roll some dice anyway (:P), then I carefully ponder the results—and if needed to push the story forward, fudge the numbers slightly (but that doesn't happen often, and never in combat)—then I consider the impact the results have on the world.

Then I write something that makes your character look good, no matter how spectacularly you failed (unless it's funny to see how you failed, in which case we get some levity). Then everyone posts here about how unexpected that was and what they need to do next—because Talking is a Free Action (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TalkingIsAFreeAction).

And Mabbz... every time (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TemptingFate). :P

Combat is based around an action system called 3 Rounds Rapid. The premise is simple: Everyone involved in the combat PM's me their 3 actions, in as much or as little detail as they desire. I do the same for the enemies. Then I create a giant wall of text post that is some of the most exciting RP combat you've ever seen (or more likely read). Most fights are generally resolved in 2-3 posts (6-9 rounds). NPCs act intelligently, which also helps: ie: the town guards will fight the daemons trying to eat you, rather than the one that just appeared in the distance.

Well, a large (and by large I mean almost monumental) part of Rockpunch's character is his endless search for family. Making dwarves even rarer in this setting just gives him even more reason to travel the world looking for his kind.

As for why the party would want him, well, he'll do anything - literally anything within his mental capacity - in defense of his adoptive 'family,' and he's a #yolo-style berserker dude, which I don't think you guys have one of yet.

Also his main weapons are his fists, because that works in Pathfinder. Dunno 'bout XDM but I guess we'll see, eh?

Lets see some expansion on this. I like the idea. But why is he walking the earth looking for family?
Was he abandoned?
Did someone kidnap him?
Is he an orphan?
Were his parents exiled/banished?

Take one of those and run with it.

We do have a very competent NPC warrior with an epic hammer, but he's balanced offense/defense wise. You do realise that by putting everything into attack in this setting there is actually a good chance your character will die in combat, right? (Just ask the others about their first fight).

And you're going to want some gauntlets, or mailed fists, or brass knuckles, or some similar weapon. Daemons are pretty much impervious to "blunt" damage—unless said weapon is either blessed, or used with great force.

There's also a possibility you could use your fists as a magickal weapon if you're an exceedingly rare dwarf mage (but I doubt a mage would cross-class with a berserker).

Post by: HectorSmash on January 29, 2014, 05:28:53 PM
Again, in Pathfinder it wasn't such a big deal since a lot of defensive benefits come with being a dwarf barbarian (namely tons and tons of hit points). I'm not set in my ways, though; I just have a rough idea of what his skills and abilities in combat are.

Also in Pathfinder, there are various abilities that negate the necessity of using weapons while 'unarmed.' Spiked gauntlets, caestuses and the like are considered 'armed,' so eventually your unarmed character will pretty much need to lose the gear.

So, the story goes as I have it right now - his parents hid the toddler dwarf in a pothole while they were being chased or hunted through a forest. Knowing they would soon be caught, they did the only thing they knew of to try and keep him safe, and left his fate to nature. At that point in time, he was old enough to have memories, primal emotions, and basic survival functions - maybe 4 or 5 in human years?

He survived in this cave for decades. I have a pastebin with his story in it, here: http://pastebin.com/WTSSHe5Q (http://pastebin.com/WTSSHe5Q)

Some of the information in there is unnecessary or overridden by what I've said in here. I'm going to cut the pastebin entry at the point when he crawls out of his cave, unless you guys want more story.

TL;DR: Rockpunch has a deep-seated desire to find a place where he belongs, but cannot because of his rage, his great difficulty in speaking, and his race.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: Ravager Zero on January 29, 2014, 10:49:25 PM
That story looks fine Hector.

And, as I'm too lazy to go hunting through the thread to find the character generation section, I'll just post it again below.




The world of this setting is alternatively known as Firma or Sera, with Firma being the ancient/traditional name. (Such as a Terra being latin for Earth). The planet has 5 moons of varying size, 2 are major satellites (Chronos—silver & Aberros—pale green), 1 is a minor satellite (Disyrious—azure), and 2 are no more than captured asteroids (Efram—ochre, and Lune—gold). The day is approximately 25 hours long (but is still divided into 24 "hours" by the populace), while the year is significant at 420 days long (437 24h days). This means that years are approximately 1.2 times as long as Earth, thus ages begin to tell quicker. For example, someone who is 24 on Firma would be 28 in Earth years.

The year of Firma is divided into 4 seasons of roughly equal length. These seasons are special because they are global, caused by a highly elliptical & eccentric orbit (for those of you that remember the Orrerry in the catacombs, that was the revelation). Quickening is the equivalent of Spring, when new life bursts forth from the snow. Firetide is the height of summer, when wildfires can sear through the forests. The Turn is autumn, when leaves change colour and fall from the trees, and the first snows begin to fall. The Great Fall is the depth of winter, marked by freezing temperatures and great snowfalls. Much of the world's trading happens in the Great Fall due to the utility of the ice barges.

Magick is a powerful force in this world, drawn from Essence, a 'wind' of magic that exists in another plane, forming Skeins, can be drawn from and/or manipulated in their raw form. Essence can be Enmeshed into mundane materials, altering their physical properties. Magick is divided into schools, each of which is the domain of a particular god or goddess. These schools are further divided into canticles, or areas of study—two for each god(dess).

Schools of Magick
Kyron (The God of chaos and madness)
Chaosigan = Destructive magicks
Seer = Precognition, Negative 'status' magicks

Deaze (The principal God, and God of magick and nature)
Shaman = Beast & Nature control (Water, Wind, Sky; Chants & Calls)
Mystic = Studies the heart of magic and can dispel

Rai-Tane (God of Fire and Stone, lord of volcanos and the inner earth)
Pyromancer = Fire magicks
Geomancer = Earth magicks

Shaya (Goddess of life & mystery)
Illusionist = Deception and Mind magicks
Healer = Magicks of the body and soul, 'status buffs'

Morrde (God of death & unnatural things)
Necromancer = Magicks of Undeath and Unnatural Things, spells of blood and bone
Summoner = Call upon creatures of Essence, Daemons, or Sprites, spells of Binding

Colours of Magick
All mages have an associated colour that determines how they draw their power from the skeins, and where or when their magick is most powerful.

Grey = Drawn purely from the skeins, with no moments of intensity or weakness compared to other colours. Average strength all round.
White = Drawn from Life, most powerful in nature and areas full of life, such as cities and forests. Strongest during the day, surrounded by life. Weakest when surrounded by blood.
Black = Drawn from Death, most powerful at night, in graveyards and on old battlefields. Weakest when surrounded by life and positive energy.
Red = Drawn from Blood, powerful at dawn and in battle, when fresh blood is spilt. Most powerful of all sacrificial magick—and most costly with blood price. Weakest when surrounded by death.
Blue = Drawn from Soul, most powerful when helping others and near dusk. Weakest when acting alone or surrounded by enemies. Most volatile in power, based on strength of heart more than strength of will.

Runic Tables
Destruction = Direct damage, physical & elemental
Protection = Reduces damage, counters magicks, some healing
Alteration = Transmutes things, "status magic"
Binding = Stops things, holds souls, entraps power/Essence
Cornerstones = Legendary powers




Character Generation
Character generation for XDM is surprisingly simple, and flips the general idea of high stats being better on its head. The XDM system is an "exceed to succeed" system, thus, the lower your relevant stat, the more likely you are to succeed at a given task. Modifiers will often be applied based on the difficulty of the task (such as +20 to your stat for "I kill the dragon with my hatpin, to +3 for "I leap the narrow chasm", or -20 for "I breathe" :P).

Stats
Physical: Your raw strength, agility, and ability to take a blow.
Mental: How bright your character is, your social ability, and how easily you can solve puzzles.
Mystical: Your power as a mage, and your knowledge of the arcane. Only really important for mages.

Hit Points: How much damage you can take before keeling over dead. At 0 hit points you're dying. At -1 to -3 you're dead unless someone/something intervenes to stabilise & save you. At -4 or less, you're unequivocally dead.

So, now you want to know how to generate these stats, right?
Simple, each stat is a based on a roll of 15-d8, giving you a number somewhere between 7 and 14. That's your stat. Mages get to subtract 4 from their Mystical stat, but must add a total of 4 to their other stats. Finally, your hit points are the sum value of your two lowest stats. Thus, less skilled characters can take more damage, while more powerful characters aren't as tough.

A character can also have a unique ability, discussed with the GM. The cost for this is reduced Hit Points, usually by 2. This means characters with unique and powerful abilities are less able to tank, and have to fight smart.

As to equipment, everyone is assumed to start with generic adventuring and survival gear appropriate to the setting and location they live in. Anything else that's reasonable can be added with the GM's permission. Anything extra can be purchased in shops. Starting wealth is based on rolling several D10s, with the number of dice determined by your upbringing and social class, as well a modifier influenced by your profession(s).

I do.




The Dwarfs of Firma are a short race of humanoids. They are naturally tough and strong, but are slower in speed when compared to humans.
They're predominantly armed with Axes and hammers. Slow and forceful weapons that complement their physique and talents.
The Dwarfs live in Great Halls, caved into the world where the rock shows most. This is often at huge crevices, or Mountains. Each Great Hall is ruled by an Elected rulers, who is advised by a council of thirteen.  The number of Halls present in the world, is currently unknown. They often keep to themselves, and are also uncaring of the younger Human race that covers the lands to the East. Each Great Hall is predominantly self-contained. Only trading between each other for raw materials, but this is sporadic, as Dwarfs are excellent at recycling old material.

Magick and Runes
Magick isn't a wholy practised area. Dwarfs usually have difficulty controlling the Essence around them, and some even create Essence black-outs around them, though these are few. Instead of Wizarry, the Dwarfs looked to capturing small amounts of essence into their tools and weapons, through specially designed runes. These runes near always have the effect of passively drawing essence in. This passive effect, powers the second part of each rune.
Compared to Human developed Runes, Dwarven runes are often complex, and have the appearance of several human runes etched one ontop of the other. Skill human Runesmiths can easily decipher Dwarven runes, more by feeling the essence flowing around the weapon, rather then examining the rune directly.
Dwarven runesmiths, are held in high praise, and are so well paid, they rarely want to of anything, not even to see the light of day outside their Halls.

Dwarven gods
Dwarven Gods are more simple in nature than the Pantheon of the Humans. Their names are spoken of in high praise:

Kazun is the God of War
All Dwarven Warriors carry somewhere on their person a small totem to this God. He watches over them and when needed, will grant power to a Warrior he deems worthy.

Diuna is the Goddess of Wisdom
Dwarven woman keep a totem to this God on display at all times in their homes. A Runic Totem is often inscribed onto a Dwarfs satchel, or sack, to act as a focus for all they learn during their travels and teaches.

Helzon is the God of the Forge
All Smiths, and even some especially talented Runesmiths, are said to acts as this God's hands in creation. When a Dwarf tells a human, he is a chosen of Helzon, they are showing the greatest respect a Dwarf can give.

Nata is the Goddess of Life
She watches over the small farms that dot the countryside, and in Dwarf tails she is said to not care off racial difference. She on occaision will cause pain to those that are evil, and bless those that do good. She will always side with the soul that means to do good, and has never been tricked.

Kohil is the God of Luck and Trickery
Near everything that cannot be attributed to the other four Gods, is often attributed to Kohil. It is said, to invoke the anger of Kohil, is to curse your family for generations, if the unfortunate who anger him, lives long enough to start one. To general Knowledge, no Dwarf of the Great Halls has ever anger Kohil.

Dwarven tails have hinted of interaction ebtween the Gods. Some say that Diuna and Helzon make their decisions hand in hand. This talk is often quashed by older Dwarfs, as it is disrespectful to speak of the Gods, like they were beings of the world.


Technology
Dwarven technolgy always looks ornate. From a simple smoking pipe, to the massive machines that cut into the world to expand the Great Halls. Despite its ornateness, everything has a function it is perfect for, and is obvious. Dwarfs waste no material on useless things. Rumours among the Halls, say that some exceptionally mad, or inventive, Dwarven engineers are designing flying machines, with which to travel the great oceans, to spread civilisation to the four corners of the globe.

Gunpowder weapons were invented early, and have only ever been used in defence of Dwarven territory. Darfs have devloped devices for their gun which are considered similar to the Clockwork devices of humans.

Since the enemies we're going up against will all be quite heavily armed, I think I'm going to cheese the system a little bit and opt for a heavy hammer instead of using my fists. After all, what breaks rock better than other rock?

Wealth: Nothing.

Description/Look: Stumpy. Scarred and calloused hands, eyes pale and buggy-looking from years of living in a dark cave. Dark, wild hair, roughly shorn below the neckline. Beard is similarly unkempt and dirty. Pallid skin hidden under layers of animal hide-as-armor.

Bio/History: I'm gonna re-link to the pastebin:

...but if you'd like me to write something else, I can do that once we get things sorted out for Rockpunch.


EDIT: Oh, and here's his Pathfinder sheet, if it matters:

I'll spar with Kahlan :P

I haven't really done much fighting with Atlas, which will make it genuinely good practice for me :P

on a different note. I was questioning Rav on the possibilty of bringing back my original character, but he's been written off entirely :P So instead, does anybody have reason against me taking up control of Marcus? IIRC he has the Anti Daemon hammer.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on January 30, 2014, 07:05:02 PM
Do you need two characters? Personally I would prefer that spare characters stay under DMs control. That way they remain consistant rather than them just doing whatever their current controller wants them for. If you wanted to trade out atlas for Marcus though I would be fine with it.
Title: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: Narric on January 30, 2014, 07:20:10 PM
I primarily wanted to bring Zothern back as he was my character :P Marcus was becuase I figured his weaponry would be useful.

I also thought that if I RP'd two characters I'd post more, meaning more stuff would/could happen.... ¬.¬
Title: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]

I'm happy for Marcus to come back; he and Kahlan have a romantic (or at least sexual) subplot going on which I find amusing.

Post by: Ravager Zero on February 03, 2014, 11:17:31 AM
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 (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DumpStat). 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. ;)

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?
Title: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: HectorSmash on February 03, 2014, 10:33:18 PM
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.
Title: Re: Re: Enter, The Darkness [OOC/Sign-up thread]
Post by: The Man They Call Jayne on February 03, 2014, 10:40:22 PM
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!".

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. :P

@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.

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).

Ooh, a job board. I'm not entirely certain where Kahlan is at the moment, but if you could have her spot the board (as well as anyone that wants to join me) next update, I'd like a side quest. Preferably something involving a bit of RPing rather than a lot of fighting or skill checks; a mystery perhaps. Hunting down a missing person/thing?

Correct.
You don't know enough about the ritual to know which one it is.
You do, however, know most of what goes into it in terms of material requirements. If you told someone versed in ritual magick, they could tell you more about it. ;)

I'm waiting for a mage to return.

However, with Rav's permission I could use this interlude to introduce my backup character? There's not many points from Hygar onwards to randomly meet individuals I would assume.

Ruin is to cities what Nemesis is to people.

url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4438798/]Roll: 1d8=6, 1d8=8, 1d8=6[/url]
Physical: 9
Mental: 7
Mystical: 9

Ok, general idea with my backup character given the rolls, is that he was trained shortly after Oan but, like most of the boys in Wulfstead, some of his training was done by the same guy ("Mick" Venner). Maggs was second only to Oan in terms of ability and was more open than most, including Oan, to learning about the old gods and old ways. Eventually, Maggs was hired as a guard by the Fencer family and assigned to their youngest son, Oan, as they had been good friends in the militia.

Shortly before the group met in Perro's Folly, Oan and his father had a disagreement about something or other, which turned to Oan's life choices (staying on in the militia), which turned to Oan having little to no prospects in the family business due to his eldest brother's greed and stupidity. The fight resulted in Oan leaving the next morning and winding up in Perro's when the party met.

As Oan was trekking across the countryside getting into fights with, seemingly, everyone the party could find life continued in Wulfstead, though not always smoothly. Resulting in Maggs being sent by (Lord, Baron, Count, whatever fits best) Fencer to bear tidings and ensure Oan's safe return. Or die trying.

I've not decided on what the news is yet though, hence leaving the post where it was. :P

Post by: Ravager Zero on March 20, 2014, 03:30:40 AM
That looks fine Mkoll.

Given the size and relative unimportance of Wulfstead compared to the major cities, Earl/Count (of Fencer House or whatever you decide to call the lands) seems right.

You can, but it makes the invocation more complex as a result.
Alternatively, you can do a little forging and make some runic traps—same results, different methodology.

Not my best writing ever, but I've tried to explain why Maggs is several hundred miles away from his home town looking for Oan. :P

Rav: If anything doesn't fit or needs adjusting, let me know. :) Also, if you see anywhere it could be improved I'm more than happy to take suggestions on board.

So, what can a Shaman, or chaosigan actually do in this situation? Any kind of early warning thing? Or would I just be best used to draw more magick in for us to use, or turn into an unmaking ritual like the door? Something big and powerful we may need.

If there is nothing specific I can do I will just meditate and speed up my healing process so I don't die by tripping over a loose flagstone.

Chaosigan, not much.
Shamans can sense signs of life nearby.

So whats the plan for this fight? We may need one this time. Right now I am just getting more magick here to make everyone feel refreshed as there will be no sleep

Also, thought, do we really want to be indoors when this happens? Can't we just rig the place with enough exploding runes and then trick them into thinking we are inside it? Could I hide our lifesigns from them while projecting fake ones? The quicker guys flank around the heavy hitters stay back and rush in after the boom. If the building is going to get trashed either way, may as well be on our terms and taking as many of them with us as possible.

Well, that's probably going to hurt my surgical skills a little. Is it possible to have that finger magically reattached? Also, I'm not entirely sure how I lost it in the first place. Which hand is it?

It got sucked into a portal to another location.

Ok, now I'm suddenly worried that Kahlan's finger was deliberately chopped off to be used in the ritual. Of course it's fairly unlikely to be the case since they could have more easily taken a finger from some random stranger, but I couldn't help thinking of it. If that is the case, she will not be pleased, and I'll be happy to have an interesting situation to roleplay.

It was the little finger on your right hand.
And Tybalt has it right, the portal closed while your blade (and finger) were still in it. It was not taken as part of the ritual, it was just bad luck.

That makes more sense. Ah well, she'll live, although I imagine she'll be quite cross when she properly comprehends what happened.

Also, I think I may be too invested in my character. I kept on subconsciously flexing my fingers for a few hours after reading about the injury.

The main reason for my slowness in updating is that other thing I'm writing over at Fanfiction.net. Over 115k words and counting.
The other reason is I'm playing too much Titanfall. And working on a Kings of War army. And two Dropzone Commander armies. And three Infinity armies. And... you get the picture.

Otherwise, no, the best you get is Shamanism to influence emotion, or Illusionism to plant ideas/falsehoods in other minds. Both are based more on intent than actual words.
