Ramona is both a Bright Wizard and an Averlander, combining the most aggressive and impatient of wizards with the most capricious and moody of the Empires people. At her best, Romana is passionate, hard-working, reliable, wears her heart on her sleeve and is openly honest to the point of brutal rudeness. At her worst, she's capricious, sardonic and barely holding back a fiery temper.

Born to a poor peasant family in the great city of Kislev, Aimo left home early in life, setting out to seek his fortune with nothing more than his empty, saucepan lid-sized hands. Enlisting with the Kislevite army, he soon distinguished himself as a skilful and hardy soldier. Like many kossars before him, however, he eventually grew tired of the never ending fighting, cold and questionable pay, and quit the army to seek greater glory elsewhere. Mercenary work paid better than regular soldiering ever had, and with every contract, he found himself farther away from home. He had made it all the way to the great port of Marienburgh, where, ironically, he was considered hiring onto a ship just for a change of pace, when fate caught up with him and he lost his choice in the matter.




Aimo embodies the stereotypical Kislevite. Dour and reserved when quiet, straightforward and pessimistic when speaking. Although the southern warmth has softened him up a little, Aimo is never truly happy when sober, although hacking up the forces of Chaos gets him close.




All muscle and hard edges, Aimo looks halfway between Ungol and Norse - which is certainly not out of the question for an old Kislevite bloodline. [To be finished]

Bramblefoot, what kind of ship is it? Helps to get a general idea of the size and what life would be like on it.

Also, any objection to using Command since that was kind of the intent with the "get your butt down here" order?

im thinking its akin to a ship of the line of the napoelonic era. three masts, two gun decks, and generally not to be messed with

no objections to command either

Second Fireball does 13 damage.
Third fireball does 13 damage.

[bramblefoot]

So does it look like the ship is being powered by sails still? Or is it moving independent of it with oars or some weirder method.

its moving independently, almost like its gliding across the water

[BananaPhone]

Half Action: Moving behind cover.

Half Action: Throwing some more fireballs at the sea-monster: [roll0]

Fireball 1: [roll1]
Fireball 2: [roll2]
Fireball 3: [roll3]

What a ****e bunch of rolls. I'll just write it off as her moving and getting her focus back, to save face, yessir.

2 Full Round Actions: Hearts of Fire: [roll0] vs TN 16

Welp, guess I waste this turn doing nothing. Forgot how harsh this magic system is.

[JbeJ275]

Oof, I'm so good at sneaking but I just absolutely whiffed it.

[JbeJ275]

I'm still high up over their heads on the platforms there right? That's got to give them some penalties to hit, I'll say they notice me lighting it.

Damage 1: [roll1]

These dice have just been awful. Two Curses of Tzeentch in 3 castings. I suppose I can write it off as using Bright Magic in a rainstorm.

Voice of Reason to Re-roll the cast: [roll0] vs TN 12

[BananaPhone]

OOo, potential Ulric's Fury in Damage 1: [roll0] vs TN 60

Extra Damage if Successful: [roll1]

[BananaPhone]

Sweet, so 3 Fireballs:

Damage 1: (1D10+4)[14] + Confirmed Ulric's Fury for 9 more damage = 23 damage.
Damage 2: (1D10+4)[12] = 12 damage.
Damage 3: (1D10+4)[8] = 8 damage.

On the Hooded figure.

[Janwin]

Well, that's probably not good...

[bramblefoot]

Well, that's probably not good...

youd be correct. can i get an agility roll as the cannon explodes?

[Janwin]

I wasn't aware I was going to be anywhere near the cannon while shouting orders down the deck, but sure.


[roll0] vs TN 51 (61 if Dodge Blow works)

[bramblefoot]

its just the metal and wood shrapnel

[bramblefoot]

brassfinger jack, ignore this roll

Oh no it's fine, it's just a big, scary and unusual threat for our literal first encounter. I'm excited to see how we do in it though.

[Janwin]

.... He's a necromancer who is also proficient in chaos magics?


Yeah we were screwed from the outset.

I mean, he also had Fate Points to burn, so I suspect that this guy is one of the BBEGs of the campaign. We're not super screwed, since Ramona appears to have nuked him from orbit.

jesus, you truly must be blessed by ranald!

[JbeJ275]

Can we get a battlemap if we're doing opportunity attacks? I though the skeletons would be lined up on the side of this ship for boarding rather than crowding around the main mast.

[Janwin]

Yeah, so, instead of just taking that skeleton straight to the face, I'm going to attempt a Dodge Blow test.

[roll0] vs TN 61

[bramblefoot]

Can we get a battlemap if we're doing opportunity attacks? I though the skeletons would be lined up on the side of this ship for boarding rather than crowding around the main mast.

i dont do that, but if anyone would like to help me, i would appreciate the help

I think I'm gonna bow out of this campaign after all. Thanks for the game so far.

[BananaPhone]

Using a Half Action to move herself in cover, and using her second half action to throw fireballs at the skeletons:

Fireball: vs TN 12.

Damage 1: [ROLL]1D+4
Damage 2: 1D+4
Damage 3: 1D+4

[BananaPhone]

Sorry about that.

Damage 1: [roll0]
Damage 2: [roll1]
Damage 3: [roll2]

WIllpower in case of Fury: [roll3] vs TN 60
Extra Damage if needed: [roll4]

So 7 damage on one skeleton, 9 on another and 20 on a third.
