Travels amongst the Border Princes (WFRP 2e) OOC

I guess you know where you need to put your XP then.

[rax]

Spend it now, there's not really any point to 'banking it' in this system, since everything costs 100 except switching to a basic career. Just edit the original character sheet & also let me know what you're planning your next career to be so we can work towards that as part of the story.

Done. I plan to head into Scout next. I've updated the Experience and Advances section of Severin's character sheet with the advances he's purchased and a planned career progression.

[rs2excelsior]

Whoo, XP! We came out of that scraped up, but I think things turned out fairly well all things considered. With how freely Torendil was tossing magic around, I'm surprised it hasn't blown up in his face a bit more. I expect it will eventually--which will take him down a notch and get him to be a little more careful with it.

As far as careers go, I am currently planning on continuing up the wizard line (I think Journeyman Wizard is the next one up).

[dojango]

Regrettably there are no wagons. Three (now two) mule trains laden with goods.

[rs2excelsior]

Ah, okay, I'll edit.

Not sure. Maybe Soldier or Targeteer

[RossN]

Sadly (and strangely) the Soldier career has no Toughness advances.

While its a bit early to be thinking Careers maybe a sideways move into Barber-Surgeon wouldn't be a terrible idea actually. We could obviously do with a proper healer type!

[Ionbound]

Yeah! Also yeah, Alyssa was really pushing it. I'm kinda glad she survived her adventure with only 4 wounds left.

[Haval]

Oh yeah, we can go into other careers as well can't we.

From Lexicanum
'Ostlanders are prone to heavy drinking, and booze is a cultural remedy to fear, in these grim dark times and living so close to the chaos of the north, many Ostlanders will spend their entire lives inebriated.'

[dojango]

Shall we head over to the fort to meet the knight?

[rax]

That seems to be the general idea, after varying amounts of cleaning up. Severin doesn't have any alternate clothes, so he'll have to settle for washing off the travel dust in a water trough or something.

[em.]

Sorry for delay - forgot laptop charger on small trip!

[Haval]

Shall we head over to the fort to meet the knight?

I think so. Although Gabriele will take a bath at some point if it's an option.

[Ionbound]

^^^ Same with Alyssa. She's going to want to look as courtly as possible before meeting anyone important.

[Ionbound]

Apologies for my absence for the last week. Exams week has been approaching and I've had a lot of work to do. I'll do my best to post ASAP.

[rax]

Severin springs for one of the private rooms. Since they're probably human-sized, he'll suggest double-bunking if Carl feels like it - no need to waste a good bed when two halflings can fit comfortably.

If Carl isn't interested, he's happy to have one of the big folk sleep on the floor. It should at least beat sleeping in the common room.

[rax]

@rs2excelsior

Torendil seems a little annoyed that there are only two private rooms left and they will likely have to share rooms. Still, there would be a roof over their heads--a marked improvement over the past few weeks. He makes sure they have the other room reserved, nurses a single ale while keeping mostly to himself, and goes to bed early. He won't necessarily suggest that they share rooms, but won't balk if someone else makes the suggestion, either.

Ahem. See above - Severin already called dibs on one of the rooms, Gabriele nabbed the other one. If Torendil wants to bunk with one of us he'll have to ask...nicely.

[rs2excelsior]

Alright, I'll edit when I get back in. I checked the last few posts and didn't see that the other one had been taken, must have missed it.

[rax]

It's cool. I didn't think it merited an IC post, so I only wrote about it here. Easy to miss.

[rax]

Meh, let's use a Fortune Point on that Gossip check: (1d100)[61] vs. Fel 42

...Nope, unless that first check was Routine (+10) or better.

[RossN]

Apologies for the lull in posting, bit distracted.

To be honest I'm not sure Carl should be on this expedition - he's only on two wounds.

[Haval]

I think that Doctor came with us if that helps.


I don't think it matters that much but I spoilered that post until the rest of you catch up.

@dojango

Do you need to respond to Haval IC or can we assume that the rest of us have caught up to her?

[dojango]

Yeah, you guys can catch up with her soon, I don't think she's ranging too far ahead, since she's on foot

[Ionbound]

Wow, those rolls. I'm kinda glad Alyssa slipped that one by.

[dojango]

Wow, those rolls. I'm kinda glad Alyssa slipped that one by.

With a roll like that, you can find out anything the servants know... anything you are looking for in particular?

[dojango]

As an aside, I'm going away to a cabin in the woods with the fam for Christmas. If we don't go all Donner party out there, I'll be back after Christmas.

[rax]

See you later then! And Merry Christmas too.

[Ionbound]

Merry Christmas! And as for what Alyssa wants to know...Hmm. Basically all the details of courtly life at the castle. Who's doing what (and who), who's friendly, who a newcomer should avoid, best ways to get in good with Leclair and the Duke, stuff like that.

[Haval]

OOC: Haval, I think you may have picked the wrong colour for your post.

Yeah. Still recovering from Christmas and most of my characters are blue. Fixed
