THIS POST WILL LATER CONTAIN A CHARACTER SHEET.

A very generous starting package. The only stipulation is that one of us must be a bear tamer, and the other an Ice Witch?

I've made the bold assumption that you ought to be the ice witch BananaPhone, since that's sort of.. your jam. But if you want to be bear-gal, that's alright too.

Since we're taking 'hard' starting careers, are we risking being odd fits for out jobs with a normal "Roll stats in order", or are we rolling two sets and choosing, or rolling and assigning...?

Perhaps if we roll two sets each we might come out with a sense of which of us is best suited for which roll, or something like that.


roll two and assign

[MrAbdiel]

Wow. Very generous indeed. Do you guys both have access to the Kislevite character creation stuff, or need it?

[bramblefoot]

I got it but thanks for the offer

[BananaPhone]

Yes, I have access to them.


Set 1:

If going human:
Random trait 1: [roll24]
Random trait 2: [roll25]

That is a gut-wrenching roll.

Crap stats or good wounds/fate, or great stats but abysmal wounds/fate.

[MrAbdiel]

Ya gotta go the stats, BP. Ya Gotta. Swing by Noble at some point to pick up Luck (Or start there and progress to Apprentice Witch?) and you won't even feel it.

I am hoping for a nice, tough goon to bodyguard the ice witch.

[BananaPhone]

So you're wanting to play the goon/thug/tough guy/bear tamer for the Ice Witch?

I can work with that. 1,500 exp would bring them up to Ice Maiden. (basically journeyman wizard, ready to embark out into the world, in theory)

[MrAbdiel]

Yeah, that works for me.

Oof.. My stat rolls weren't spectacular. I have to choose between maximum wounds and minumum wounds with worse stats... but at least my Fate came out alright in both cases.

My philosophy is that in small games, you need all the stat you can get. We're the only ones here to make rolls. So I'll take minumum wounds. A lad born skinny with a lot to prove.

Height: 6’2”.
Hair: Light Brown
Eyes: Dark Brown
Hag's Curse: (1d100)[64] White fur is banned from this child’s life. Not Ungol
Born: (Automatically) North.
Settlement size: Oblast tirsa (rural village)
Tirsa Name: Zhedova
First Name: Vladimir
Surname: Bondarenko

Diminutive: 'Vlinka'

Oh, and I should roll for the bear too.

[roll0] 1=Male, 2=Female
[roll1] for the name. Alexei
[roll2] for the diminutive - 'Alusha'. (Had to reroll to make it make sense)

Side-shaved heads appear to be relatively popular from that (huge) region of the world :smalltongue:.


And yes, initial money: [roll0] - 164gp, pretty good.

[MrAbdiel]

I am purchasing a bunch of things including a pack animal and tents, so don't worry about those. I'm really leaning into the "Man Friday" vibe here. I'll be able to get Heal in my next career, too.

Alright. I mostly have Vladimir sorted out. He has his bear; and also a oblast elk (pack animal), and three dogs. They are kislev herd dogs by breed, not combat dogs; they are not trained to fight. But they know how to gather fetch sticks (firewood fetchers) and importantly they know to bark in alarm if someone they don't recognize approaches at night. I have three fancy Kislevite tents. One for the Ice Witch by herself; one for Vladimir and Alexi; and another for the Elk. Standard procedure is a dog sleeps in each of them and spasses out if someone intrudes, waking everyone up.

[BananaPhone]

Can the dogs set the tents up?

[MrAbdiel]

They cannot, no. Sadly. That’s Vladimir’s job!

Lmao. We are both gonna have decent Fellowship but neither of us will have charm. I foresee a future of shouting our way through social situations.

Your horse can stay in the elk’s tent!

[BananaPhone]

Hah the Ice Witches don't really do the whole "Charm" thing. They don't "charm" the people of Kislev as much as they just stare at them and allow thousands of years of cultural terror to weigh upon said victims mind to compel them into taking the wise course of action. (i.e giving the Witch what she wants)

Though amusingly, Witch Apprentices get Academic Knowledge (Magic) but not Read/Write, somehow. Because we all know those illiterate people that get into STEM degrees at university.

Lol. I think we’re both going to have to divert a little to cover critical skills. I might dip vagabond or something after warrior before veteran, but generally I’m going in the buttkicket direction.

I’m also done I think, Bramble. Did you have a notion of what kind of game you wanted to do here or should we be setting our own heading and peddling for our lives?

[BananaPhone]

The Ice Witch pathway is a little more..."interesting", or upfront than the standard wizard.

It's Witch Apprentice > Ice Maiden > Ice Witch.

As opposed to Wizard Apprentice > Journeyman Wizard > Master Wizard > Wizard Lord.

On the face of it, Ice Witches also branch out into other area's of life, gaining social skills from Ambassador entry etc. (though only Noble-born typically become Ambassadors, as the Tsarina won't allow herself to be represented by mere peasants)

Ice Witch has the coveted Magic 4 advancement and a bunch of skills. However, their only social skill is 'Intimidate' and their social talents are "Menacing or Unsettling" lol.

Zhukov could be different and be a relatively 'nice' witch that looks out for people, but that's not the reputation the ice ladies of Kislev have lol. They're seen as saviours, feared and respected, but they're also terrifying and in Slavic tradition they rule through a mixture of fear/respect.

An interesting entry in their total war entry:

"The Ice Witches are firmly on the tzarina's side in Kislev's many political conflicts. She is currently the most powerful Ice Witch in Kislev, and some say she is a reincarnation of Miska, the first Ice Witch and khan-queen of the early Gospodars who founded Kislev.

Katarin, in turn, favours the Ice Witches, granting them legal privileges similar to those extended to the Kislevite nobility. The main weakness of the Ice Witches, from a political perspective, is that they have very little to do with the common people of Kislev, remaining aloof while studying their magic.

The level of power they bring to the tzarina's service is highly valuable, but they do not bring any other supporters with them. Individual Ice Witches who could win a place in the affections of the people would be especially favoured by the tzarina."

See this is why I assumed you didn't want to be the bear guy. :D

We will probably want to bring on some retainers - a surgeon for example - once we have a roll on with our rhythm. Once I get into soldier I'll be able to apply poultices but I'll never been particularly intelligent.

[BananaPhone]

Oh I'm happy to be the bear-guy lol. I was honestly leaving it up to you :P.

I just read up on them a bit because I almost rolled one in the Tomboys games. So instead of Regine you almost had a vodka-drinking Ice Witch from Kislev speaking with her heavily accented, hilariously is-it-offensive-or-endearing broken Bretonnian blasting people with ice.

Gonna get clubbed over the head by the fae and begin a custody war between the big ice spider of Kislev and the Lady!

I figured you’d want to be the ice queen because it felt like your style. But also I wanna be a man with a bunch of animals. You’re doing the hunting though, with that Outdoor Survival.

And later we are gonna get a sleigh pulled by elks.

Rolling a Common Knowledge (Kislev) for what Katarina knows about the beastmen in Kislev, such as organisation, typical brayherd sizes, leaders, common tactics, organization etc: [roll0] vs TN 70 (or TN 60 if we're not in Northern Kislev)

the brayherds here tend to be on the smaller side, but if the kossar is this worried, you would rightly think that something has caused a joining of brayherds, or something is pushing them south towards kislev.

as for tactics and organization, its the usual bum-rush the walls, possibly carrying crude ladders and other implements of crude destruction

[BananaPhone]

So with her knowledge and the Kossars words, how many individual beastmen does Zhukov think there'll be?

Blizzard has no range, it's cast as far as the eye can see.

"A swirling flurry of snow and ice rises from the land, freezing and blinding all in its path. You can cast blizzard at any point you can see. Distant targets may require a Perception Test to see clearly, as dictated by the GM. Those within 24 yards of the target take 1D10 damage every round (roll damage once, and apply the result to everyone in the area) and reduce their line of sight to 6 yards (3 squares). Blizzard also imposes a -20 penalty to the Ballistic Skill and Agility tests of all in the area and reduces movement by half."


So she'll cast this as soon as the Brayherd moves into visual range, as they start psyching themselves up. She'll cast this centred on the largest mass of them (which I assume includes the sorcerer).

[BananaPhone]

They'll take: [roll0] this round.

Assuming they can run 4 squares a turn, that's reduced to 2 squares a turn. And it's got a 24 yard radius, so those closest to the point will take 13 rounds to be clear of it.

I'll roll a bunch of rounds worth of damage for anyone caught in the Blizzard, and let the GM decide the narrative:

Round 1: [roll1]
Round 2: [roll2]
Round 3: [roll3]
Round 4: [roll4]
Round 5: [roll5]
Round 6: [roll6]
Round 7: [roll7]
Round 8: [roll8]
Round 9: [roll9]
Round 10: [roll10]
Round 11: [roll11]
Round 12: [roll12]
Round 13: [roll13]
Round 14: [roll14]

[bramblefoot]

They'll take: [roll0] this round.

Assuming they can run 4 squares a turn, that's reduced to 2 squares a turn. And it's got a 24 yard diameter, so those closest to the point will take 13 rounds to be clear of it.

I'll roll a bunch of rounds worth of damage for anyone caught in the Blizzard, and let the GM decide the narrative:

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

Round 5: [roll5]
Round 6: [roll6]
Round 7: [roll7]

Round 9: [roll9]
Round 10: [roll10]
Round 11: [roll11]
Round 12: [roll12]

Round 14: [roll14]

yeah, its not looking so hot for these beastmen.

[BananaPhone]

IC post updated.

Also the spell has a 24 yard radius*, not diameter, sorry.

[MrAbdiel]

We can afford to be a little more generous with the beastmen! With a move of 5, they can run 30 yards a turn - halved, they're going to spend two turns max in a single blizzard for sure.

As for the shortbows:

[roll0] for [roll1]
[roll2] for [roll3]
[roll4] for [roll5]
[roll6] for [roll7]
[roll8] for [roll9]

Katarina is casting Hailstorm: [roll0] + 3 TN 14

19 - cast!

"You channel Ice Magic upwards, forming large chunks of ice that fall t the ground with horrifying speed. Use the large template. All creatures beneath the template take 1d10+2 damage each round they remain in the area. Also, they reduce their range of sight to just 4 yards, take -20 penalty to Ballistic Skill and Agility Tests and halve their movement. As a full round action and with a successful Challenging (-10) Will Power test, you can move the Hailstorm 2 yards per point of your magic characteristic."

She is casting this onto an area a solid mass of beastmen will encounter once leaving the Blizzard.

It lasts for 2 rounds.



I just realised that Hailstorm isn't on the Oblast Witch spell list, so I'll just have her conjuring her Blizzard still, so ignore the damage roll; she'll cast again next round.

[BananaPhone]

Hailstorm damage:
1st Round: [roll0]
2nd Round: [roll1]

*Rolls eyes* let down by the damage rolls, as usual. 2 wounds followed by 3.


Cancelled, see above why.

[bramblefoot]

rolling attack on katarina

[roll0]

[roll1]

hit for 6 wounds

[BananaPhone]

Son of bitch.

Katarina takes 1 wound (she has Toughness 5; she's a tough broad).

She'll cast Shardstorm at him: [roll0] + 1

Nice - cast!

It throws 1d10 magic missiles at a target, each one doing 1d10+3 damage.

[BananaPhone]

How many shards? [roll0]


Rolling damage for shards:

Shard 1: [roll1]
Shard 2: [roll2]
Shard 3: [roll3]
Shard 4: [roll4]
Shard 5: [roll5]
Shard 6: [roll6]
Shard 7: [roll7]
Shard 8: [roll8]
Shard 9: [roll9]
Shard 10: [roll10]

[BananaPhone]

Ooo, shard 5 is a Fury.

Confirm: [roll0] vs TN 52
Extra damage: [roll1]

doh.

Okay, so the traitor takes: 6, 7, 10, 9, 13, 5, 12, 5 and then 4 damage as 9 shards of ice blast him.

katerina, i believe i asked for a wp test or lose the magic active due to the axe in your back

[BananaPhone]

No need, the blizzard lasts for 2 rounds.

[BananaPhone]

What spell was that, what's it's range?

[BananaPhone]

She's got 5 toughness and had 11 wounds left. The first bolt did 7 wounds, the second did 8. Katarina is dead.

Thanks for the game mate, lol short as it was :smallbiggrin:.

[MrAbdiel]

...Are you havin' a laugh? Don't give up like that, Bananabrain! 7 damage takes you to 4 wounds; 8 is a 4 pt crit, which will probably hurt a lot.

[BananaPhone]

Crit: [roll0]

[MrAbdiel]

You see? That's merely...

7. The blow results in serious internal bleeding and the
character is helpless. Blood loss is such that the
victim has a 20% chance of dying each round until
medical attention is received. Test at the start of his
turn each round. Use the Sudden Death rules for
any further Critical Hits on this opponent.

What's a little serious internal bleeding between friends?

...Medic? Medic?

BananaPhone rolled hit location, rather than assuming Body. Honestly, I do prefer that method.

[BananaPhone]

Hit location: [roll0]

[BananaPhone]

She's knocked out for: [roll0]

8 minutes.

She's knocked out for 8 minutes, on 0 wounds and next hit she takes is another crit/sudden death.

All by turn 3.


Have fun Vladimir :smalltongue:.

gommenasorry! i have a hard time scaling my encounters

[BananaPhone]

Hah that's okay. General rule of thumb is to have 'significant enemies' (like those with names, ones you intend to become longer-running antagonists etc) to be 1 "level"/tier above, with BBEG bosses yet another one above them.

So for a pair of 1,500 exp characters, getting sniped by a lvl 4 wizard lord from across the map...yeah, this'll happen :smallbiggrin: lol.

understood. i will have the emissary fade out, and appear later

[MrAbdiel]

Wfrp is also hard to scale for. Those two bolts flying at Kat could have done almost no damage or instantly gibbed her, depending on the D10’s. Magic especially is like that - PC’s need to ice enemy casters quick fast because they can’t dodge or parry their stuff, and there’s no hit roll - just the casting roll which stands in place of a hit roll.

thank you for making me not feel like a bad gm

I don’t play in games with bad GMs my bro.

Or with bad players for that matter. We’ll use this as an inciting event and make it our mission to find and kill that emissary one day; though we might have to seek to plan it carefully so not to be exposed to such a deadly barrage.

Don’t sweat it mate. Katerina’s debut was freezing to death a bunch of beastmen and then being struct down by a gnarly magical bolt to the head. That’s a reputation we can start to build on. And any day you don’t lose a fate point is a good day.

[BananaPhone]

thank you for making me not feel like a bad gm

Yeah don't worry about it, I thought it was funny more than anything :smallsmile:.

It'd be like if we were playing a pair of soldiers just leaving our unit, some experience under our belt, out to see the world, and the first random encounter we have is Chaos Lord.

After waking, Katarina casts Aethyric Armor: [roll0] vs TN 5 - Ugh oh, Fate Pointing away that Glacial Surge (when you roll doubles in Kislev you get Glacial Surge instead of Tzeentchs Curse)

Then she's going to cast Ice Sheet in front of the gate, so the Brayherd run into/over it when they enter in through the gate.

Ice Sheet: [roll1] vs TN 12

Cast!

"You glaze and area with a thin layer of slippery ice. Use the large template. THose in the area must succeed on a Challenging (-10) Agility test every time they attempt an action involving movement, or they slip and fall, taking 1d10 damage, and lose the rest of their turn. A success means that the character can act normally but at half movement."

[BananaPhone]

Fate Pointing away that possible disasterous Aethyric Armor roll: [roll0] +1 from always-counts-as-having-ingredients = 5, cast.

Katarina has 2 extra armor.

BP…

How confident are you that you can reroll casting magic?

Because I am watching State of Origin right now but I am of the understanding that fate points work for d100 tests, for gaining half actions, for adding to initiative, and that’s it.

[BananaPhone]

*Goes and reads Page 135 of the Core Rulebook*


Glacial Surge: [roll0]

'Ice Storm: a torrent of Ice Magic gushes upwards. Everyone within 24 (including you) suffers the effects of hailstorm for 1d10 rounds'

[BananaPhone]

Rounds: [roll0]

Damage: [roll1]

[BananaPhone]

Fury: [roll0] vs TN 52

Extra damage: [roll1]

[BananaPhone]

Location: [roll0]

Critical roll: [roll1]

Everyone within 24 yards (I guess the beastmen too) take 12 wounds.

Whether she has her 5 toughness or 5 toughness + 2 armor, Katarina is at -5 or -7, with a 15 critical roll, to the body, she's dead.

Rest in peace Katarina Zhukov, Ice Maiden, killed herself trying to cast a lesser magic spell.

Could spend that Fate Point as per page 198 to preserve her, but she's out for the rest of the scene, and there's a 6-round 1d10+2 hailstorm hitting everyone within 24 yards lol.

Unless Bramble deems that fate points can be used to avoid miscasts by re-rolling a casting die. So we'll just have to wait and see :p.

[MrAbdiel]

Lmao.

Or maybe, because this is like the first scenario, Bramble might just cut us a break and let us off the hook for that particularly calamitous roll and say the spell just fails or something. Rules may be rules, but the rulebook does say:

"...If preferred, the GM can improvise appropriate Chaos manifestations. If
this is the case, use the manifestation tables as a guide to length, severity
and type of effect caused by Tzeentch’s Curse."

I think it's fair to apply that to glacial surge as well, since it's just a variant of Tzeentch's Curse. They have a similar disclaimer in the mutation section that says "if a player rolls a mutation that just completely screws up the game then maybe you wanna just GM fiat that a bit."


ALSO, I might suggest that Ice Sheet was the more important spell to cast anyway; and despite the fact that both Ice Sheet and Aethyric Armor are both half action spells, you can only cast one spell per turn - just like you can only make one attack action per turn.

So maybe we just forget about the Aethyric Armor, hey? :D

[BananaPhone]

Or.

Or.

Bramble is cool with spending a fate point to re-roll a single casting die, this time :smallbiggrin: lol.


Jeez, this poor girl. Taalia fought a troll with her bare hands and hasn't had this rough of a time lol. Sniped by a level 4 wizard from across the map and blasted into the afterlife, then drawn back by ace healing only to blow herself up and nuke half the town trying to cast a lesser magic spell that'd give her 2 armor.

They really are onto something when they say stuff like "This is a Slavic story and so happy endings are not allowed".

Haha I'm fine with that off-ramp for the GM to keep 'within the rules' and avoid PTK within the first page of a game lol.

[BananaPhone]

So, Mr GM Bramble, what was the verdict?

Do we all get turned into Frosty the Snowman and TPK, game over? Or can she only cast 1 spell (so no miscasting armor) or gets to FP a casting roll this one time? Lol

"You form a wall of snoy ice from the ground. You may create a straight wall up to 10 yards long and 6 yards high, all of which must be within the spell's range and may not pas throgh an area emenating any warmth (living bodies, fire, and similar, as dictated by the GM). The wall blocks line of sight and has TB 5 and 10 Wounds per point of your magic characteristic. Fire deals double damage to the wall."

So the wall has TB 5 and 20 wounds.

She's using it to cut the Beastman pack in half - putting half of them behind it with the gate, and the other half with the kossars - who should now out-number them.

It’s usually wise to roll individually for aoe stuff. Otherwise you end up with the old blunderbus lucky dip where your trust hand cannon might be filled with confetti or antimatter depending on one roll. But this is noted. Is ice sheet really 1d10 just for falling on your ass? Damn.

It gives me numbness and pain in the right arm with escalates when I sit upright at my computer desk, so i have to budget my time sitting and typing and then laying down again. I started studying again this year so most of that slim budget has been going to work I have to do. I'm still keen and I'll be back but for the moment my posting will be infrequent at the very best. As a player i'm happy for my companions/GMs to puppet my character as required; as a storyteller I'm pretty much stuffed for the moment.

Sorry for the disruption, I'll be back at it when I can.

let there be chess!

[MrAbdiel]

And I, too, am back, but you both know that!

Hmm. The ice witch feels more like a Bishop than anything, but I guess I'd better go rook since that seems like an invitation for direct face punching.

Given our invisible magical opponent, I might suggest Magical Sense would be appropriate to roll. Perhaps you'll be able to detect where this.. spirit, or invisible wizard, is lingering their interest on their own pieces, and thus forsee some potential movement.

Hmmm, a decent option: [roll0] vs TN 52.

Passes, with two degrees of success.

[MrAbdiel]

Hey, atleast you succeeded more than I failed!
