Dwee's page

I can't follow what's happening here without being at the games and I just do not have time to be at an in-person game. Sorry. Dwee is apparently disappearing into whatever city you've found.

Dwee's going to hold her move until someone else (from our group) strikes the animal and then try to coordinate an attack if possible.

Initiative 1d8 ⇒ 7

I grab my hand axe and sword and run to the human's side to see what he's facing. I'm keeping in mind that the last creature we encountered had a weird sense of honor, so I have my weapons ready, but I'm still trying to look non-threatening.

Ok just read the latest post. Do we 1.state what we're going to do, 2. roll perception, or 3. roll initiative first?

Um, should we still be going this way? I mean, I guess a horror wouldn't bother to clear the path so nicely, but I'm a little nervous about meeting new people. I guess that's what we were going to do eventually anyway.Um, does anyone know any other languages in case whoever cleared this path doesn't speak dwarf or human?

Perception 1d12 ⇒ 8

Dwee runs over to help Valsera lift Grayson, an odd task for two dwarves, but a necessary one to remove him from any further danger.

Dwee puts her hands to her mouth to stifle a cry as she sees the creature beat Grayson. She is trying to be as still and non-threatening as possible as she was told, but the wound is troubling.

Thanks for posting the supply list again! I just looked it up myself. Are we allowed to bring a couple of things 'from home' (not on the list) if they're related to our artistic skill? I'd like to bring 3 cakes of colored ink (similar to Henna), a brush and a few needles for painting/tattoo work. I should have a full list of Dwee's choices from the supply list in the next day or two. She'll also be bringing her short sword 'Nicker', and her hand axe.

Initiative 1d8 ⇒ 1

Roni, I'm Karen. We've met at least a few times, but always in passing I think.

My character, Xyanna, is hopefully gonna be a lovable doof. Just remember, she's way more likable than me.

First time with play by post here too. Lori and Daniel make me feel way out of my league! (everyone does, probably Daniel the most)

:) -I'm sure I've met everyone here, I just couldn't match names with, uh, names- heh. Thanks! I figure Dwee is the protective older sister in tiny dwarf form who is also pretty naive about how the real world works, which will work out great since I haven't finished reading up on how this world works.

This is Daniel. I'm still the furry one (at least here). And the PbP thing is a little confusing at times. A little player patience, a lot of GM patience and cat-herding, and it works out OK.

Clearly, you are the easiest to remember, next to my husband and Lori. --Not just for the fuzziness, but also because of the style of writing. Thanx!

Would everybody be ok with signing your character name/real name on this post? I'm getting confused about who is who.
Do we need to tell you what stuff we have in our packs? I'm having a hard time following when I'm supposed to make a roll for something, or rather what I'm making rolls for? Anybody else or is this just me?
Roni/Dwee

Dwee keeps her head down-even she realizes this seems silly for a dwarf-and tries to sniffle quietly while Delamater speaks, but when he turns to go, she rushes up to him and gives him a big hug, whispering something in his ear and giving him a peck on the cheek. Then she turns back and rejoins the group, eyes just as red as when she came in, but now slightly damp too. She bites her lip, and then swings her pack on her back and heads toward the door out.

After Valsera speaks, she says,

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble, Valsera, but I'm relieved that someone is thinking of the practical side of things. Del, uh, Delamater, what kinds of things should each of us collect in the time we have? I'm sure you've already thought about my ability to make weapons for some of us, but I'm not sure where I would get the materials to do so for everyone here, or even if everyone can use a weapon.
Dwee stops for a moment and looks very concerned, sighs, and then continues.

I know that my brother and father take packs with them when they go on extended hunting trips, but I don't really know what goes in them besides some food and a bed roll. Will you help us with all of those things too?

Quick dice tutorial:

Let's say you need to roll a d4+d8 - type the following, removing spaces between brackets and the stuff in it:

[ dice ] d4+d8 [ /dice ].

That's great, but I have a more basic question: which dice do I use for each attribute? I have played a total of about 3 hours of earth dawn in my life. I undstand what exploding dice are, no problem-I played white wolf. I just need matching numbers and stats. I hate reading gaming books. Sorry if this is redundant.

As Delamater says the word Adept, it's as if Dwee's heart stops, but no, more that her whole world freezes in place. The echo of the hammer on the axe she was working still rings in her ears as Uncle Del finishes his mock speech.

I know he's right. I've felt it when the fire is hot and perfect. I can see new things, I feel...tall, like a giant, like I could fill the whole smithy with the piece I'm creating and I am an extension of that piece and it's me.

I'm so afraid, as I see Laren that I look away and put the axe in the water. Too soon, too soon, the metal weakens instead of solidifying, but instead of breaking, I see it mend itself in that way I've seen before, that others don't seem to notice. I keep my back to Laren, as much to hide my face, as to block the sight from him. I know he can't see it. I did this exact thing in front of him when he was first teaching me. I wasn't sure if he saw it or not since he said a bit of light flashed in his eyes. But since he said I was lucky the sword didn't break, I knew he hadn't seen it. I saw it break...

Dwee calmly puts down her tools and lifts her protective goggles, exposing the tattoo where her right eyebrow should have been. She starts to take off her heavy gloves as she takes a deep breath and turns to Laren to say,

Laren, I have an errand to run later. If it's ok with you I'm going to finish and clean up now so that I can get going.
