Tal nods with the others thanks.

" Thank you, I doubt we would have made it without you. "


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

I'm ready. Did I find anything out about the murden blade? I rolled a 15 on an intellect check?


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

Int : 1d20 ⇒ 15


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

Tal nods in agreement with Third and then gives the 'Wicked Elite Blade' a few test swings to see how it feels compared to his Broardsword.

Games mechanics wise is the murden blade any different?


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

" Sounds good Zimm. " Tal says getting up shakily but breathing a little easier now.

" Well I suppose we should keep moving. I hope your right Chaaseq. "

He shoulders his gear and gets ready to move out.


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

Tal slumps to the ground sitting in the dirt.

" Exhausted! " He says sucking in breath.

I've already done my ten minute recovery roll so I'll have to wait till we can have an hour break.

Speedy dodge! Trained : 1d20 ⇒ 9
Attack : 1d20 ⇒ 10

Tal keeps ducking and weaving managing to avoid the bullet this time. He pauses for a minute and draws an arrow back on his bow string letting it sing through the air at the Murden.


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

Tal fires back at the murden again, trying to keep his head low.

Speed Defense trained so difficulty 2?: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Speed attack bow: 4 piercing Dmg : 1d20 ⇒ 3


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

Tal ducks and weaves as he notched another arrow. The bullet hits him though and he spins around letting the arrow fly back at the murden!

Speed Defense trained : 1d20 ⇒ 1
Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Speed Defense trained : 1d20 ⇒ 13
Bow attack (speed) : 1d20 ⇒ 7

Tal ducks beneath another metal bullet and fires an arrow at the murden attacking him.

Speed defense diff2 : 1d20 ⇒ 2
Speed Attack with bow : 1d20 ⇒ 5
4dmg if hit

Tal takes aim at the Murden slinger that he's spotted. But just as he fires he's hit with a bullet and his shot goes wide!

" Oow! "


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

Int defense for Phychic noise : 1d20 ⇒ 11 What's the Diff for this?
Speed Defense to avoid bullet : 1d20 ⇒ 11
Speed Bow attack with effort against the Nano : 1d20 ⇒ 16
4 Dmg if hit.

" ugh! I'll do my best! " Tal yells back as he spins and fires at the Nano.

Speed Defense, trained : 1d20 ⇒ 20
Speed attack with Bow : 1d20 ⇒ 17

Tal dodges to the left and then with quick reflexes fires his bow at the murden that Zimm pointed out.

Wow luck is on my side now it seems... Bow is 4 Dmg. 5 because of the +1 from the 17?


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

Tal nods back. He sheaths his sword and takes out his bow. He takes cover behind a tree and peaks out. " Where are you... " he mutters under his breath.

Int Perception : 1d20 ⇒ 2


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

As Tal attacks one of the Murdens it seems to disrupt their Phychic Noise and Zoose is able to shake off the effects.

I choose for Zoose to overcome the noise.


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

So I need to make an Int defense and a speed defense for the counter attack?

Int defense : 1d20 ⇒ 18
Speed defense (trained) : 1d20 ⇒ 3

Tal is focused, blocking out the noise but he's not quick enough to dodge the Murden's blade.

He attacks back swinging his Broardsword.

Broardsword, speed w/effort : 1d20 ⇒ 20 Damage 4 if hit.

EDIT: wow Nat 20 the other side of the coin Zoose.


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

Tal leaps forward out of his hiding spot. Swiping at the Murdens with his Broardsword.

Speed Atk with effort : 1d20 ⇒ 18
Broardsword damage is 4 slashing

EDIT: Awesome 18! That means an extra 2 damage right?


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

Tal draws his sword and crouches down, hiding in the undergrowth of the forest.

Stealth (Trained) : 1d20 ⇒ 18

Ok, i see you are ready! - said Chaaseq when he saw Talanth coming out from the building.

"I reolly suggest us to go now, becouse we are risking to be caoght by twilight before we reach Regel, and that is reolly reolly bad thing.
anothing you need here? Want asq Burro about? Do it now. We need to go out, friends."

Suddenly he jumped like 7 feet away and appeared on the trail leading to the east gate of the village.

" oh, Yes I'm feeling much better. I'm ready to go. " I say, adjusting my leather jerkin and my sword. I follow Chaaseq to the gate.

With my recovery roll of 6 I'll put 3 points into might, 2 into Speed and 1 back into intellect.


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

" Call me Tal, and yes it would be nice to get dry and maybe rest a little. Is there a room where I could just change my clothes and rest for ten minutes? Then we could still head out today?"

I'll go ahead and roll my recovery roll for my ten minute rest.
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Hang, Stretch, curl. Hang, Stretch, curl. Hang, Stretch, curl. I think to myself as I raise my hand. " Uh, I'll go next " I say very nervously. Hopping into the nest.

Speed : 1d20 ⇒ 20

EDIT: oh thank goodness!


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

whoops I already adjusted my shins, sorry.

Hey Blackstork, on the spreadsheet you made for me it lists that I have a shield but I don't think I was meant to start with one?

" Low light vision? That could come in handy. I'll buy a dose of that, ah, Shimmer. "

I fish some shins out of a pouch and look at the price list again. " Hmm, two shins for the Shimmer, and I guess if you're sure it's safe, two shins towards the use of the flying device. "

Is there a roll I can make to see what I've heard about Murdens? Intellect?

Zimm blinks again at the torrent of words that Surro speaks, actually taking step back as incredibly the monologue became quicker and more frenetic.

Somehow, Zimm manages to get the gist of Surro's speech, escpecially the description of the cyphers he has for sale.

Looking at the others, "I can contribute a shin or two to the cost to use the apparatus..."

" Do you think it's safe? " I say under my breath, looking dubiously at the contraption. " I can chip in a few shins as well. "

I move to look over Zoose's shoulder. " a softy bedroll does sound nice. "

Once I've finished catching my breath I head over to the others, walking awkwardly in my wet clothes.

" Anyone got a towel? "

No problem. I'm happy to have spent the points. Next time I'll just use effort or just roll in that situation. It's been a while since I played Numenera and I couldn't quite remember if you could reduce difficulty to 0.

Third grabs Talanth's wrists, planting his feet as firmly as possible.

You slip after this and you're on your own, bud.

Can I use effort too? Bringing the difficulty 1 down to 0? If so I do that, if not...

Might w/ effort : 1d20 ⇒ 18

I dig deep and hold to Thirds hands as I scrambles onto the bank.

" Thankyou! " he gasps, collapsing onto the river bank. " let me catch my breath. "

I'm taking an action to recover points to my might pool.
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

so -3 for effort on this action, and +5 for recovery =10 points currently.


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

So I did. Sorry.


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

No worries. I'm having fun. The [/dice] have to come good soon. Right?

Speed (with effort) DC 3 : 1d20 ⇒ 5
Might DC 6 : 1d20 ⇒ 3

Ah this dice roller!

Tal grabs at the bank of the river managing to get a hold of a rock but the current is to strong and he slowly loses his grip and is swept further along.

" Help! "


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

So this was fun :P

Hopefully Tal can hold onto the rope... But with a Nat1?


Stealthy Jack who Exists Partially Out of Phase | M 3/13, S 7/13, I 7/12 | Edge: M 0, S 1, I 0, | Effort 1

I strain on the rope trying to get it as tight as possible. I don't think I'll be able to tie it around that rock. I'll just tie it here.

Tying it to the tree.
Might DC 6 : 1d20 ⇒ 8

I attempt to cross over the stones holding onto the rope.

Don't want to fall in so spending effort
Might DC 9 : 1d20 ⇒ 1

EDIT: Oh dear!

" Should we go check that out? Might be someone with a ferry or something there. "

Tal introduces himself to everyone in the group during the first few days " Call me Tal! " he's chipper and outgoing volunteering a lot of information about himself. (mostly lies.) He tries to get any information out of the priests he can hopping to hear some news or clue to his sisters whereabouts.

I'll spend effort to make the difficulty 4 (Dc12) : 1d20 ⇒ 7

During the fight with the Broken hounds Tal accidentally got himself stuck half phased through a tree. His ability to pass through things had always been a bit hit and miss and more than once he'd had to cut himself free from walls and things. This time however Zimm was there. She was able to talk Tal through a mental exercise and for the first time he was able to bring his Phasing fully under control.

I have a question. Is the cottage on our side of the river or the other side?


1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Talanth is young, barely an adult. He is short (about 5'6") and slim. His blond hair tied back in a short pony tail and his chin is covered in whispy blond stubble. He wears a grubby white shirt under his leather jerkin and brown trousers. A broadsword is sheathed in a tattered scabbard that hangs from his waist on an old leather belt. His pack is slung over one shoulder.


Here's Talanth's Alias.
