Nazard's So You Want to be a Hero

Game Master Nazard

Oh well. Them's the breaks. +1 from Con gives her 2 VP this level for a total of 9 VP. +2 WP brings her to 14 WP.

Character stats are updated.

She learnt dancing lights as her new spell.
Skill points: 2 + 3 Int + 1 human + 1 favoured class + 2 background
1 rank each in Bluff, Heal, Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (dungeoneering), Knowledge (local), Knowledge (nature), and Spellcraft. Background skills 1 rank each in Appraise and Handle Animal.

I'll hold off on a level of Magic-User until we've met Erasmus. If anyone in the valley could help me unlock magic, it'd be him. ^_^

I'll shift those ranks on Knowledge (arcana) and Spellcraft into Knowledge (history) and Sense motive.

Felix will say that his magical ability is a gift from the faeries. True or not, that's his story and he'll stick with it.

Do we get the additional vigor and wounds right away or do we need to 'heal' it?

You can add your new amounts to your current levels.

All Felix wants is a nice quiet life of theft and skulduggery.

Place has a new coat of paint.

Don't care for it, myself. I like blue.

There is a solution to the Braugi problem, but it is not the same as the game. It never made sense to me that you could buy fifty apples and that was enough to trade for a glowing gem, let alone that they would even sustain the giant for a day, let alone a trip back to his homeland.

Fifty apples? Like you say, that might cover the one giant at best for a day! It's a pretty common thing for fantasy to neglect considering just how much food all these various races would be vying for (especially the giant races), but that pretty much takes the cake! :)

Does the timeline sync up? Were the giants' orchards afflicted at the same time as the valley's?

No matter what, Heinrich is our next destination.

I was thinking more of Zara, Erasmus and the Dryad Queen: magic and trees.
I also have a theory of a different sort... but it'd be meta-gaming to mention it at this point.

I also thought of Nerrisal, but not Zara or Erasmus.

Hoooo.... I remember my first run-in with Kitty.
Nasty surprise!

I was actually more afraid of the magic cat than any other thing we've encountered so far.

I've created a cipher key and spreadsheet converter, and discovered a few errors in the fragment of code you found earlier. The note should read...

grgqgioux...zgee oqaexm...ixh uxtaxe

I don't think the errors were what was stopping you from solving it, however, but you may or may not soon have another example of code to use which may be enough if any of you are skilled in substitution ciphers.

Tombraiders.

Crimes against the elderly.

Heads up, I'm going on a week-long trip tomorrow.
I should have internet access, but feel free to bot me if necessary.

Here's a little something in the spirit of the 'choose your own adventure'-books. Part comic, part game, audience participation is not just appreciated... it's a necessity.
Can and will YOU guide the protagonist through the labyrinth of Sarcantasy? (Feel free to vote on next actions here or on DevArt.)

I was looking through my threads and I was surprised that I had let this game slip through the cracks. I'd love to get back to it if you guys are willing and able to as well.

Yessir! :)

For sure.

Yes, absolutely!

I have also just discovered that I never saw the last several posts made to the game as the site never bothered to inform me of them.

Any time ya’ll like. I put up a post suggesting some of the things you could do for the day of waiting before you head north to find Erana’s Peace with your biggest fan Heinrich.

Didn't we go shopping to prepare for the journey or were we supposed to go shopping for the long journey?

I might have forgot you were doing that, what with the slow down. We can retcon it in, since you got back in plenty of time to shop. What did you all want to buy?

Torches
Rations
flint and steel
Canvas 10'x 10'
2 Sacks

Anyone want anything else? The sacks are for any cuttings or whatever Heinrich is going to get. The canvas is to make a tent as we travel.

How about cold weather clothes?
Firewood?

Firewood is heavy. Probably better to get it as we go, but that does mean a hand ax.

Rations x8 8gp
Cold Weather Clothes x3 24gp
Winter Blanket x3 1.5gp

Felix will cover the costs. Anything

I sent Zayla/Veronica/Navior a message to see if he’s still on board. I’ll give him a day before I bot him again.

So sorry! The boards were not telling me there had been any new posts AGAIN! Will update immediately.

Bump? ^_^

Sorry guys. Between work and the absence of one third of our players, it just seemed too hard to start this back up, as much as I enjoyed it.

Ahh, I see. It's a shame, but I understand.

I understand. I enjoyed it. And I learned about a great old school game too.
