I just haven't been posting too often because of RL things. It's getting better though!
Plus I'm having fun out in the trees!
I was hoping we're all okay with the slower pace here in the village. It's very easy to pick up the speed again, once we've all had our fun with the social element.
I just cant help but think Briar + Daine right now with Sinathel :)
Good, because the Wolf-Speaker series influenced me greatly as a kid
I still remember how I picked up my first TP book :) And I ended getting not just myself hooked, but both my mother and my sister too. I would search the bookshelves anytime I went to a book store to see if there was a new book out :)
I'm still a huge fan. I have all of them that are out ^^ And Numair's book, Exile, is finally coming out! I've waited years for that book. Years! It makes me so excited!
Huh. Never heard of it. *braces for cries of HEATHEN!*
That's okay :) I'll just strong encourage you to read them.
Speaking of radio silence...Kano? Hawke? Are both of you just anxious to get up the mountain or have you faded on us?
If they've both faded on us I can open recruitment up again. I'm still interested in continuing this story on to the end!
I'm around. Just having a bit of difficulty figuring what to post if anything with all that's going on, plus I feel like I hogged the scene before so I thought I'd take a break from that. Anything I'd do at this point might feel like filler even if I do some mountain prep stuff.
I'm ok with filler. :)
I would get distracted by a Kookaburra... Though I know Boda is still in the back of her mind.
And go ahead Kano! You could develop the people of your village more?
Thread-magic! ^^ Which makes me think of my sister and I talking about Briar and his tattoos the past few days. (Which leads to this pic of him.)
As a clerification question, the ramp ascends from in front of me to a height of 15 ft? (Meaning that's how high the hut is off the ground?) Or does it start 15 ft up in the air?
Still waiting on that clarification before I post :)
Ooh shoot, I forgot to answer this. God, I miss so many of your questions, Sinathel, I'm sorry! It's not intentional, lol.
The ramp begins about a foot off the ground, requiring a step up, and then ascends 15 feet to the entrance of the hut.
It's okay :)
Bolus, I think your stats are off. I'm pretty sure it hasn't affected anything yet, but the bonuses come at a slower pace than typical DnD.
- 1-3 = -3
- 4-5 = -2
- 6-8 = -1
- 9-12 = 0
- 13-15 = +1
- 16-17 = +2
- 18 = +3
Whoops updated.
Oh yes, almost forgot. My random animal fact :) Though this time, it's facts:
Yes, to our new people - our druid player is so into her character that she provides fun facts about all of her animal morphs as she does them :)
Fantastic! Druids should love animals. It's educational AND fun.
She even provides the facts in-character when possible. It's good fun.
I do so much research :) It's part of the fun :) I get to learn new things, discover new animals and share them with all of you!
Which I have given info on Elephants previously here. :)
Wow. This is what we call a thread-splosion. Good to have you two new guys on board!
Thanks guys, never been in a game that was quite this action packed right from the start :)
Actually I do have a question do Spout Lore failures count as XP as well?
Yes you do! Any failure grants you XP :)
Yeah, you still get xp for them. But it's important to point out that a roll NEVER results in NOTHING, even a discern realities or spout lore. The mechanics of this game are set up to constantly be driving forward.
So failing on a Spout Lore or Discern Realities means that while you're struggling to discover or remember something, something bad happens in the mean time. Or perhaps you do discover/remember something but it's something you really wish you didn't notice/recall. So you deserve XP for those failed rolls, because the world just got nastier as a result... which is what makes this game so great!
Generic post for all my games: I don't know when ill be up to posting. I woke up very, very sick. I just now got to where I could post this.
Feel better Sinathel! I can DMPC you until you feel better.
Indeed, I hope you feel better!
Too bad you can't use your characters healing powers to get better. Get well soon!
By the way DM. I'm thinking of saying this as a Quest:
I swear to find and rescue my unit from the bug men.
And two boons:
An unwavering sense of direction to where Bolus' people are
Invulnerability to bug swarms.
Can you let me know if that works out ok?
This thread stopped updating and now I'm way behind. :(
Sorry guys (Sinathel). I'll post in a few hours.
Yes yes, Bolus, your QUEST!
Quest
When you dedicate yourself to a mission through prayer and ritual cleansing, state what you set out to do:
Slay _______, a great blight on the land
Defend _______ from the iniquities that beset them
Discover the truth of _______
Then choose up to two boons:
An unwavering sense of direction to _______.
Invulnerability to _______ (e.g., edged weapons, fire, enchantment, etc.)
A mark of divine authority
Senses that pierce lies
A voice that transcends language
A freedom from hunger, thirst, and sleep
The GM will then tell you what vow or vows is required of you to maintain your blessing:
Honor (forbidden: cowardly tactics and tricks)
Temperance (forbidden: gluttony in food, drink, and pleasure of the flesh)
Piety (required: observance of daily holy services)
Valor (forbidden: suffering an evil creature to live)
Truth (forbidden: lies)
Hospitality (required: comfort to those in need, no matter who they are)
But the Quest is something you should take time to do - and in the gameplay thread Bolus hasn't done any such thing, he's been interacting with the party. I'll even accept something as simple as praying while on the go, but I do need some flavor out of you for it! This is Dungeon World after all. :)
When you make your prayer in-character, your faith and resolve will respond accordingly and your vow will be made known to you.
Yup yup, just want to make sure the Boons are reasonable and the Quest itself is valid (it's not quite one of the three standard choices).
Yeah...I'm actually not certain how to tackle the idea of having an unwavering sense of direction toward "Your people." Could you be more specific in what you mean exactly?
Well Bolus assumes the members of his unit and the scientists he was with in the future came through time with him when the beacon they were at pulsed. Finding them and saving them would be his highest priority. That's why his quest is to find and save them and that's why one of the boons he would seek would be to know where they are. I figure they would be in the same place the bug men force is and he could help the group find them both.
Ah! I wasn't sure whether you meant those who came through with you or those in your own time. That makes perfect sense. Pray for it and you will be guided.
Will do. Probably makes sense to do so while this heat defy danger gets resolved
How many hit points did Sinathel's healing after the last fight restore?
She used Poultices and Herbs, which heal for 7.
So, I've been trying to play catch-up today. I'm not 100% yet, but I'm well enough to start trying to do things again. Is Sinathel off in the Jungle with her companions?
I think she's with us and the friends were told to take cover. I could be wrong
I'm looking forward to next level and I am having a really hard time understanding multiclassing. How does it work? I'm concidering it for Olivius, but don't know if it's thematic or not.
I'm going to go with Sinathel is also in the cave for now. It fits that she would follow after all of you.
And in the dark, with someone missing seems to call for an animal form. Sinathel has the very strong urge to become a Tiger and hunt Temellen down... though she's weighing wolf currently too.
Multiclassing works by taking the advanced move "Multiclass Dabbler or Initiate" and then selecting a move from one of the other class' class lists. Usually, you then gain access to that move as if you were a level lower than your current level, but not always. Note that you can take other classes' Starting Moves instead of one of their advanced moves if you wish.
And yes, Sinathel, my DMPC'd Sinathel warned them away from the mountain and to watch for a chance to help safely. Failing that, if they never saw again, she warned them to get as far away from the eruption as possible.
That sounds like Sinathel. :)
Don't forget, we do have 3 Gaia Hold if it comes down to us needing it!
Spend 1 Hold for: Intervention of Gaia Gaia is watching over you. When you spend this hold as part of a personal plea to the Great Earth Spirit, She will intervene for you in the story in some meaningful way
