@Cynerik-Sorry about that! Didn't realize you'd taken it all, my bad!

@Pork - No worries dude! I know you were just getting back is all. It is all traded and led to a good character moment, I think. :)
There's some good character moments going on! I'm looking forward to building relationships with everybody over time.
Apologies for not getting to catch up yesterday. The trouble with a game with a good posting rate and a lot of interesting dialogue is that it takes time to read, focus, and think of a reply!
Edit: Also, does anyone want Jexen's dagger? If not, no issue but the offer stands.
Yeah I get that - I sometimes go to post in a game but feel that I don't have adequate time and headspace to make a worthy enough contribution...
Looks at giant spiders.
Looks at Dwarven poison resistance.
Looks nervously at GM with a masters in toxicology.
Sorry guys, super busy day. I'll post an update tonight after I put the kids to bed.
All good :)
I updated one of my games, and then promptly fell asleep for the night.
I was too exhausted, I guess.
Sorry, I keep forgetting about the fast or slow initiative stuff.
Oops, I didn't mean to make that sound like I was chastising you.
I meant it for actions moving forward for this specific combat scene. I took all actions leading up to this poiny as a "pre-comabt" thing. :)
Sorry!
For the future, don't sweat the slow/fast init until I declare us in official combat. I'll let you guys know when to start caring about init. In other words, what you did was absolutely right.
Sorry gang, I've had/got a weekend full of gigs, and my daughter has just moved out at short notice. Should be able to post properly in 16-24 hours.
No worries!
See you when you get back!
I've opened up a slack channel if you guys want to talk about in game or out of game things.
Hmmm the page I get says "Contact the workspace administrator for an invitation". I'm guessing that's you, bookrat?
Huh. So despite that it says you can use a link or invite vis email, you can't actually use the link. You can only invite via email.
Well, screw that. I'll try discord.
Sorry I've been so quiet, just dealing with stuff and haven't gotten around to here. I'll have a post up in the morning.

I hope everything is ok.
I am alright! Lots of home-life stuff happening, all good I promise :)
Glad to hear it.
I am unlikely to be able to post this weekend, for anyone who hasn't been in the discord chat.
Pork seems to have disappeared. I notice that his most recent post is July 3rd for all of his games and his default alias. I've sent him a PM and no response.
July 3rd is the day before the American fireworks holiday - I hope nothing bad happened to him. :(
That's unfortunate. Hopefully he is fine.
So I found the exact direction that we need to head from the tower (unless goat trickery was involved. Could that eliminate some banes?
You don't have the exact directions, but you do have the final destination. I revealed the town location on the map. I also revealed the cabin location.
Getting there and making your way through the forest is still challenging.
Right now, you still subtract 1 for each Wilderness Profession you have. And Jexen subtracts one if he passes a geography challenge roll (which he did not today).
The crossbow and 20 bolts that was with Pork is now available for someone else to take.
Oh I meant more like, can we not accidentally head south if I know it's that general direction.
20 boots!? Jesus, where was he keeping them?
Generally, if you fail a roll for moving to a new hex, you only mess up by one hex left or right. About the only time I'll go further than one hex left or right is if it'll move you closer to a unqiue hex that will give you the opportunity to explore.
The mechanics work so failure is a slight deviation from intended direction, and failure of 0 or below is that you're unable to leave the current hex.
Oh okay. That makes sense. I was confused because at some point we ended up where we started.
I'd take the crossbow as long as pork is gone and if no one else wants it. It fit's T.A.S. hunting profession (well, a crossbow makes a bit more sense than hunting with a sling) even he has a malus of 2 when using it.
Oh by the way Sköllji, I hope you didn't take Brinda's little stream of consciousness tantrum to heart, when she was griping about your character. She's a bit childish, and feels pretty protective of Cynerik as well.
So looks like somebody accidentally deleted the map... Remember, folks, that glorious saviour of us all, the undo function!
Fixed!
I'll try to update today. Been working overtime.
Thought I'd have time between samples, but it's been non stop since 6am.

Nah, it totally makes sense. Sköllji is really blunt. Especially in survival situations. I'm surprised more people haven't reacted that way to be honest.
He sees himself as more of an accessory to Cynerik's group, than an actual member. Being in a criminal background, being part of a group means predetermined deals and ground rules. That's why he hasn't taken any of the loot you guys have found.

I think we've all taken what we rolled up to heart, which is pretty interesting. I cannot say enough about how much I've enjoyed character creation for this game and felt like it gave us all breathing, interesting characters.
Cynerik, I see him as, is a broken man who is still trying not to be broken. There is that side of him that just wants to run and not die, constantly. Yet there is also that side of him that knows what is right, what is proper, what keeps his soul out of the clutches of demons and worse things. Balancing all that has been quite fun. Having him discover faith and also giving him some terrible monstrosity that he encountered in his home village makes it a nice ribbon and bow on top.
I had to peek at the bestiary a little bit to find an appropriate and terrifying monster and man, things are awful here. I am excited for it all :D
Totally missed Kandl's post. I'm editing mine now!
I do love the rounding of the characters here. Plenty of quirks and flaws visible, but not ridiculously so.
So this guy's a werewolf or something, right? We should get as far away as possible!
I figure that Jexen and TAS won't have to roll the getting drunk roll, as clockwork are immune to poison. Likewise, Sköllji should get a boon to the roll because he's a dwarf.
Slugoth, are you still with us?
I was also guessing werewolf out of character. But I don't think Jexen has the knowledge to cop it.
So I was reading up on the rogue class, and guess what I found?
Level 2 Rogue can gain an ability to use an action or triggered action (aka AoO or OA) to frighten a target for 1 round. Intellect vs Will.
It takes two levels of Rogue, targets Will, and it only works for one round. The way we did it, it was a Challenge Roll and it was permanent for the battle.

But the way we did it was more fun! :P
I might be picking up rogue for shouting at people.
I tend to do that a lot. >.>
I'll try and get a post up in a few hours, Botting any who haven't posted yet.

That's a lot of people to bot.
Whoo for one of the bandits being killed! I think I may have hit...for minimum damage.
The fights in this game feel suitably desperate. I think it's a combination of the system, the low power level, and the well-rounded characters who aren't just stone-cold combat machines.
Kudos folks, kudos.
Sorry folks, I missed yesterday as I have been quite ill. Cheers for the bot, bookrat.
