@Jerukh: I thought it was very funny. Everyone else had these person-specific reasons, but not Vigny. Ulfen: Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
;)
Well them nasty Northmen did take his birth-mother away from him... something to do with stupid honour-feud or some such.
The Ulfen community he was born into gave him his surname (which menas fatherless bastard in Skald). He keeps it in defiance and to constantly remind him of what the Ulfen cost him.
That being said Vigny could be the one to turn his frown upside down lol...
Vigny as my baby-daddy... Pretty sure that is a plot twist NOT in the module. We'll need a power-couple name.... Viko? Reigny?
Something a comedian once said that has stuck with me:
"Racism is stupid because there are so many good reasons to hate people on an individual basis."
Hmm... I naturally assumed Emi was the father- guess I dodged a bullet on that one.
Oh Lord! I turn my back for three seconds! :P
It could have been you, Emi, if I'd done your hair... or if you had the racial trait "Ranged Impregnator". :)
Story of my life, Soli. :p
I'm the people your mother warned you about.

Vigny claims no involvement, citing her own lack of the basic required equipment and Reiko's obvious insanity.
She would like to remind everyone that she is blonde, not a white-haired witch. If that even works somehow.
So now, having tip-toed up to within spitting distance of mentioning tentacles, Vigny will add the following and quit while she's ahead.
Reiko-San is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Hey! I may be crazy but I don't do manga... no big-eyed schoolgirls in short skirts, tentacles, or any combo of the two. :)
Eh, that's kinda like saying all sci-fi is Star Wars. It's not, and actually is a very small subset of it.
On the other hand, Sturgeon's Law does apply, oh boy does it apply.
Are you a Lovecraft fan? Enjoy cooking? See what happens what Lovecraft's work and cooking recipes are fed into a neural network!
Sorry, I dropped off the radar there. I had to go on an emergency business trip, got caught in the Delta Airlines debacle, and came back with the flu... so I'm just now feeling human again.
Yikes. Glad to have you back though. And just in time for me to kick this thing back into gear.
Folks - just a wee heads up that I’ll be out of town this weekend. Helping out as pit-crew for a mate of mine whose racing bikes, heading off this afternoon and we’ll not be back until late Sunday. Will most likely be Monday morning before I’ll get back into the posting swing.
Cheers
Soooo... half way to the circuit our van's water pump went kaput. Back home pending a possible re-run tomorrow... Best laid plans and all that!
Yeesh, that's no fun. This is the wrong season to have a coolant failure.
Upside is I'm back in the saddle for my games :)
Woo!
I'm sure Jerukh is going to be thrilled about recent developments in the Caravan's roster. :D
Absolutely - he's such a people person after all :S
The more the merrier
I'm sure Jerukh is going to be thrilled about recent developments in the Caravan's roster. :D
Just wait til Jerukh finds out that Koya has arranged for him to share a small sleeping wagon with Reiko. ;)
FWIW, I've bought Reiko's additional gear - heavy warhorse, barding, military saddle, etc.
I hadn't really considered buying a horse. Is it something we're going to need you think?
Ditto. Presumed we'd travel with/on the caravan and decant to adventure..?
I bought a horse because it is in character. But I would imagine there are a number of wagon driver/shotgun/rider options available to you guys if you'd rather spend your coins on cooler stuff.
You don't have to buy a horse. I just figured that most of you would be riding on the wagons or driving.
Yeah, I'm really more of a wagon rider.
@GM- do you want to handle shopping 'off camera' or should I just start heading to different stores?
Off camera is fine.
Ok, what is the availability like for potions and scrolls? Also, is there any chance of finding a partial used wand? (I can't afford a full one)
I don't think this is how it's supposed to go, but I never really got a handle on the settlement rules, so I'm going to say you can get any potion or scroll of 1st or 2nd level spell you want as well as any half-charged wand of any 1st level spells you want. You have a 75% chance of finding a 3rd level potion or scroll or a wand of any number of charges of a 2nd level spell.
Does that help?
I'd happily chip in on a CLW wand.
I'll also use a day before we go to whip up a few vials of holy water. You never know...
I was thinking about trying to get an offensive wand for when the scarf isn't a great idea, I'd be willing to chip in for a cure wand too though... iirc there's 5 of us, right? That would be 150g each (or 75g I'd we got a half full one). Does everyone want to do that?
I'd have to sell back a couple items to make the 75gp price point. I'm willing to do that. But 150 would cut into my quality purchases. I'd rather not go that far.
Half full wand is more us lol.
Plus you have all my soothing tinctures and healing balms to supplement said wand.
Planning on purchasing 2 off Potions of Shillelagh (100GP); 1 Potion of Remove Fear (50GP). Will also be getting to work with my chemistry set...
My phone (which I do most of my posting from) isn't working, so my posting may be a bit sporadic for a few days. I'll try to get a post up from a computer tomorrow.
No worries. We're still working through Soli's bit. Hopefully we'll be moving on to the journey before next Saturday.
Alrighty, I hope I'm doing a good job with this bit. Mind telling me what you think so far?
Are you shooting for creepy and unnerving? I'd say it's working.
Yup - nice and eerie feel to it. Fey are always tricksy :)
Oh! I remembered something I'd planned to do during the downtime that I didn't actually mention. Vigny was going to take a day's worth of spells to make some holy water for the caravan's stocks. She can make three vials of it.
Can I go ahead and add that retroactively? If not she can just do it on a travel day instead.
Yep.
Also, I hadn't realized that Vigny was so close to Grungir. That makes something I have planned feel a lot more relevant.
And yeah, creepy and unnerving was definitely what I was going for. Glad to hear I'm succeeding. :)
Yes, south of Jol near the Nolands border. She's never seen Grungir Forest herself, but she's heard plenty about it.
I have some connection with Grungir Forest too... (per my background) the caravan I travelled north with passed through/around the forest and I learned a lot about my magic in that region.
edit: actually... my birth tattoos (on my forearms) are some kind of runes or symbols that people in the know generally agree are related to the first world, but nobody has ever been able to give any specific details about them... feel free to play with that (in this or future encounters)
Hey folks, sorry for going radio silent. I was on the road (for work) outside the country and my computer chose to slag its hard-drive. My employer decided that I didn't need a replacement laptop until I got home.
It doesn't look you guys dropped me from the game - thanks! I'll catch up and post as quickly as I can. It will likely be tomorrow.
That's very kind of you, Soli. Thanks!
