yea yea, math. Sorry. Sooo tired. Only got 3 hours sleep last night, and 4 the prior

here is another one

what god or gods do orcs worship?

What are the general stance on orcs in the world? I think that is a great thing for you all to answer.

Answer the following

What is the general stereotype towards orcs?
What are they most renowned for?
Where do they live?
What are they known to be good at?
What are they known to be crummy at?

I think that is one question for each person

Our heroes make there way through the city, and due to Sora's warnings, they are able to avoid the most dangerous of the vagrants. They exit the other side after making and purchases, or sales and make their way along the path to the manor, that is increasingly overgrown. Obviously people do not come out here often. Eventually bushes grow higher and you are closed off from everywhere, but the path, then it opens out onto a weedy field, about 60 feet away you see the statue. It is a globe of some sort on a pedestal. It looks to be made of bronze, or brass and glass, there is an odd, dim glow inside it, and there appears to be various buttons and wheels and levers on the pedestal.

More interestingly there is oh I don't get to roll dice, so Im gonna 1d6 ⇒ 5 a muscular orc, with a bow on his back and spear at his side, to go with his peg leg who is fiddling with the controls., as he does the glow becomes sparks and a fizz of sorts.

Further you can hear people pushing their way through the brush around you.

What do you do?

still on 100 hour weeks. finally slow down next week

Himnon figures that, like with anything else if you can remove its power source it won't work. How to do that? Well ya gotta see it first

Unsurprisingly the door opens and several women move in, it appears to be 4 of them, at least so far.

They knew you were there, so there is no surprise on either side, but you all do win the initiative.

GO

:(

Sorry times are rough

oh sorry.

There is a scrambling behind the doors, as it is obvious people are moving about and moving things

WHATTAYAWANT!GETOUTTAHERE!LEAVEUSBE! is shouted rapidly through the door

sorry guys in the midst of 100 hour weeks. But I am waiting on you to either go to the manor in question, into the city, into one of the other manors nearby, or something else completely. I don't see a definitive decision made...but could be wrong

What should I be on the lookout for? On the outskirts, watching for the vagrants is probably smart, they might try to attack for food or wealth
What here is useful or valuable to me? On the other side of the city, there seems to be a larger manor than all the others, even from here it seems dilapidated
What here is not what it appears to be? The large globe like statue at the manor seems...off...s it actually a statue, or sculpture, or is it something else?

alright. Fast forward to the next day, there is a teleport a return on Phooka who is devastated.

He works on Darin and before long there is a stirring of the body

Darin wakes up suddenly he staggers to his feet and...

Our heroes move into the front hall relatively quietly and see that this is obviously wherecorpses get burned. It is a large, rather open room and everyone stands looking at one door into another room, and one into the privy. The door to the other room begins to open

you must have missed it. you found your gear. It was posted in response to everyone else loot roll. so that might change what you want

we did skip. I'm sorry. Brain is living in a fog most of the time right now. Please assume you got to go to sell and purchase and changes coins over.

of course. Sorry guys i had said its 70 hour weeks right now. I did the math its 100 hour weeks. Anyhow you arrive in the late morning. Lets call it 11 am

you guys are standing in the open doorway?

yes. sorry guys, im in the midst of 70+ hour weeks.

yes. you passed 3. 2 showed signs of habitation and 1 seemed totally empty

Our intrepid heroes take off, on what they expect to be a two day journey. Along the way, Sora and Himnon manage to keep the group away from a pack of wolves, and a quite large group of highwaymen. Unfortunately Reno, at the end of the second day announces that just over the next hill is their location...you crest the hill and find nothing. Apparently Reno really should have taken that proverbial left at Albuquerque. It cost you another day of travel, but you now find yourself, 3 days later overlooking the city. You have noticed that scattered around the city are manor houses of various size, most of them seem to be within half a mile of the city, but there are definitely some that are further out, possibly up to several miles. Those further out seem to be a bit more dilapidated.

mark rations

What do you do?

ill still be posting, just slower

sorry guys in th amidst of 70 hour weeks right now.

i will get us going again once it slows

nothing specific, just ya know. I want to wander off in the woods and pick mushrooms and moss. That kind of thing

that. is. amazing.

just checking in. I am around allowing the rp to continue. Once folks are ready to move on you can make your travel moves

Miro does in fact open the lock
1d100 ⇒ 72

how do the others know to meet you out front? If you did something they are there

Oh no!! What happened?!

I'm planning on pricing it all in copper. If you want to convert it to larger coins let's just say 10 copper =silver 10 silver =gold. That will keep weight down, but again I'll prove everything in copper

We agree on that. Give it some thought and you can start working it out. You don't need everything set in stone yet but eventually it will need to be

Cuddles cocks his/her head to the side as if considering. Then almost viper quick she scoops everyone up in a great big hug, and spins everyone about. She/he nods vigorously at the idea of joining everyone.

You can have a deity Sora, in fact I support you determining the details but you do not get any moves associated with it until you take a level in the class that provides the move (not sure if your class gives you that or not off hand)

I.e. No moves without leveling. That's just a path I'm not prepared to go down I am 100% sure I will lose control of the situation.

But you don't have to have the move to start building your church and preaching. In fact it makes more sense to me that you would do that first.

That said in regards to a signature weapon or your wings I wouldn't take away something and not give recourse to get it back. That's just a dick move. Had your wing been mangled I'm pretty sure there would have been an opportunity to get it healed or get a prosthetic. A fighter would be able to reforge etc. I'm not a fan of permanently going a player. Maybe temporarily but that's all.

Ys you can devote yourself to a deity whenever you wish, however, the ability does not become available until you have taken the move/class.

I Think that is what you are asking

Previously. The spirit of Nathan considers for a moment. Other than you guys? That would be either the Tunnel Jerk-off who is still in the woods, or the beast in the caves about 2 miles away

With that the spirit puffs back out of existence

let me do a little research Ys

Yowsa! Thats a biggy and going to last for a long time. Honor, Truth. (and I guess by default Temperance cause you aren't eating, but its not a vow)

you know how it is...the hat...the hat...the hat...

previously

As Ys finishes her spell, the smoke around the fire seems to coalesce in to a humanoid figure. A humanoid figure with a hat, it looks at Ys. I thought I was done on this plane. Whatta ya want?

oh i thought you were going to take that, i misunderstood. i thought you had a spirit in mind for that particular moment. ill go back and look and I've you something

popcorn munch munch

A bolt of lightning shoots out of the clear sky and strikes Sora...the power is incredible, so incredible that Sora is momentarily dazed with the electricity inning through her veins, he vision sharpening so that she can practically see the veins pulse in her friend.

practically it doesn't matter, but that is the "hindrance", it passes after a second or two as you adjust to the change in your senses and reflexes

Cuddles sits up and...if a helmet could look surprised and impressed...this one does

It is possible for them but grease would help. They are coming out of a toilet

sure, as long as you aren't going evil thats fine with me

Sending you a PM Shy with some info for you.

So amaranth is no a flaming piece of iron? That's not frightening at all! Lol. That's funny

Looks like everyone is ready. Shy I believe you will be the one with the plot hook for the next module

As a reminder I'm gonna tie another module onto this one to see if I do do a better job. Then we will debrief again and decide if we want to continue to a larger campaign.

20 feet, and you would be hard pressed to squeeze through it, but greased up you probably could with time

Miro moves on into the next room, and sees, several of the monks, but no other door. Perhaps he should try to find a key or go see if he can disable the lock by monkeying with it

slightly easier DD than opening from the outside

Reno finds a small gem that when activated will pulse with a soft red light whenever a new body, at least as large as a large dog approaches within 50 feet of the gem. Anyone within 50 feet when it is set will not effect it.

Additionally he finds a beer stein that will fill twice per day with either delicious beer or pure water.

other than Reno doing a loot roll once everyone has completed their end of session we can move on. As before I don't mind if you do more than one bond at a go

[ooc] yes once he rolls on Monday I'll give him some loot
