Dotting here, dotting there

That is the most German word I have ever seen Udo...

Who is Udo?

Takes a bow :)

It's a doozy like. Thank the gods for Google Translate :)

I am of German decent and it was spoken by my grandparents on the farm. I still speak it with my dad although none my children nor grandchildren speak German nor Hebrew nor my wife's languages of Punjab or Tamal.

I'm just French, as I said earlier.
Hopefully not too bad in English but we learn everyday.

Dotting here, dotting there

So crunch time for Brunhilde and I.

Have we met?

In what capacity? Did I sketch you for a slate board advertisement or two? Or did you put me on to deadbeat customers to have street gangs rob and share the proceeds with you?

So crunch time for Felver and I so we can build on the wagon ride.

Have we met? In what capacity? Maybe I bought you a few drinks after winning on one of your victories? Maybe one of the gangs I was involved in escorted you to or from fights?

I like the latter, although it doesn't explain what they are doing in a coach together.

I'm going with coincidence.

He wanted out of the area and with luck the coach was passing through AND he had the money to pay.

Gottfried say you have made some coin off of a few of my fights and we have had a couple of drinks

Perfect... I'll bring it up later and you can pretend to remember me ;)

Lol... that was a mood killer

Haha. Udo's favourite topic of conversation!

Lol

Just to know for future reference: Warhammer can be grim (depictions of poverty, disease, and cruelties) and fights, especially criticals, can be gory. It's a world where Chaos tries to get the upper hand by force and/or corruption

Are you at ease with that? Outside of the usual big NO! (torture, rape, violence against cats&kittens) do you have specific topics you want to avoid?

Nope... and I'm even okay with the NO! If tastefully handled... that said, I am cool with whatever other players want to avoid.

Nothing from my side either - like Gottfried I'm okay with elements of the big NO! if handled "off screen" so to speak, but happy enough with the "vanilla" grimdarkness of Warhammer.

Adult gaming is my middle name. Try playing Call of Cthulhu some time and you will see gruesome lol

Yeah, I'm okay with leaving rape out of my RPGs. Torture is fine for me "off-screen".

Long posts are sometimes eaten by the paizo forums... sometimes I'll try to rewrite them and other times, far too many times, I just say screw it and throw something short out.

It happened to me a few times too..

Now, when I write a long post, before I click "Submit Post", I Copy the text, so even if the forum fails me, I can Paste it again before validation

+1 - lost count the amount of times these boards have stymied my creative flow o'er the years!

if he turns your offer down does that prove he is a user of magic or I'd he accepts the offer I wonder? Perhaps if he scratches his left pointy ear or adjusts his pointy balls three times that means something? For gods sake you bunch will have yourself jumping at any shadow and beating at the walls Felver says

Nicely put and funny

@Brunehilde: now should be the time to choose which one of your sense is Acute.

Hearing.

Sorry, had my third shot of vaccine Friday afternoon, spent most of Saturday groggy in bed, but feel way better now!

Hope you're feeling better DM - booster seems to kick some folk and others not. I got off lightly, but just recovering from covid itself which did royally kick my arse.

For anyone remotely interested as the game progresses I'm going to update Udo's Heroforge avatar with mud, blood and swag :)

Cool and yeah, take it easy if needed

@Gottfried and Brunhilde - brilliant. Was choking on my coffee after your posts :)

I live to serve. We're here to tell an interesting and amusing story, after all, and Brunhilde is so ineffective at anything combat-related that she might as well be amusing.

Will post tomorrow morning, European time

Brunhilde sits in the carriage saying every prayer she remembers from her childhood visits to the temples, although it's been a while, and her memory has never been the best.

"Sigmar protect us from those who are out to get us ... and um ... and from weird headless horsemen goblins in the night."

Just to be clear, I'm playing up her inexperience and fear against supernatural threats. She'd be happy to help the horses or the coachman if someone tells her to do so, she' just not a big one for taking the initiative. I'm also trying to play against the "stalwart adventurer" trope combined with the understanding that Warhammer FRP combat can be very short.

I think that there is nothing wrong with doing as such. If anything, it fits the setting really well, and for someone with her background, it would be jarring to see her clutch a club and go in screaming like a berserker.

And if we survive, and she grows in experience, it will make the transformation from 'scared civilian' into 'experienced adventurer' all the better!

Agreed

Agree. Very in character :)

Speaking OOC tactics. Right now I think we might have brought the horse down. Konrad is up to advantage 3, so as long as he doesn't get hit or otherwise lose his advantage, he should be matching the horseman's WS. If we can surround him for +20 to hit, then we might be able to bring him down. But even then it would be touch and go.

I think that the best bet would be to ensure that the horse dies, and then run like hell. Thoughts?

Not that she would tell you, but Brunhilde already thinks you're all crazy for challenging a fiend from beyond.

Udo also thinks you're crazy, but since he couldn't snag a horse to bolt with he's got little option than to join the craziness... :S

:)

GM

Konrad

Also Konrad looking for his fate point

If it has fortune I’m guessing that it has fate. So probably a good time to flee.

And yeah…could have probably just ran away and now spent a truly limited resource. But rule of cool demanded that it be so, and besides, it’s probably better spend resilience than fate.

Do monsters get fate/resilience?

Not a usual player

Not usually. This is the first time I see a monster with Fate and Fortune.

Then, it is my first time GMing. ^^

Afternoon gang - just a heads up that Storm Corrie knocked out power and comms lines here in the bonnie North East o' Scotland.

As such posting will be limited to when I'm in work and not busy (which is rarer than hen's teeth). Please bot me as required til I'm back up and running (likely mid-weekish).

I am trying to figure out all this math for hitting and such. I haven't player since 2nd Ed and it was a lot more simple lol. There used to be an init which helped to propel encounters and who went when. Don't know if it's still there but it was simply automatic and easy long ago. Again go figure gaming and editions move on after 40 or so years...

@Gottfried: your post made me chuckle.

@Felver :There is an Initiative system (your Initiative+1d10), but I choose to forgo it for a more cinematic approach.

Of course, you weren't supposed to kill the Dullahan in the first scene. But bad rolls happen to the GM too.

Thank for rolling with it. It was certainly a very memorable fight! And well worth the resilience.
