DrK Crimson Throne OOC

I think the only person actually in combat at the moment is Andrei. My reading is that Ciraneoth and Cassian have just arrived upstairs and will be able to join the combat next round.

Edit: In other news, I'm going to be busy with work until the weekend. If things pick up in the meantime, I may be unable to post immediately.

[DrK]

Apologies all, I've had some issues in work/home life so have been off the forums. I should be returning in the next week

[wilphe]

Glad to hear you well and safe

[Haval]

Can I just disengage or do I need a roll here?

[DrK]

Glad to hear you well and safe

Thanks. The work crazy is getting better so I am going try and endeavor to post a little more often

Can I just disengage or do I need a roll here?

You can just disengage

[farothel]

With the snake dead, I guess combat is over anyway.

[farothel]

I think we've been working against each other, with Ciraneoth trying to show them what they were doing and the others throwing a distraction.

[DrK]

I'll be updating tomorrow
Had a busy day so ran out of steam

Well hopefully those who want to see will go look

And those who are greedy will take the money

And returning the money to them should buy us goodwill - or less ill will

I view those as complimentary not opposed


However, these guys were fairly popular it seems and two of their bodies are inside there after we killed them Winifred does not want to still be there when they find that out

[wilphe]

No problem

Glad to hear you are ok

[rax]

I'll aim to get a reply in tomorrow. Juggling work and entertaining my son, who's home sick at least until tomorrow.

[Haval]

Job interview on Wed. I'll try and get a reply up around that.

[wilphe]

Good luck with all that

[rax]

Testing Academic Knowledge (Genealogy/Heraldry) to see if Cassian recognizes the name Meilya.

(1d100)[6] vs. Int 36

Hope he is feeling better now

I hope it went well

[wilphe]

Feels urge to point out that Winifred got injured too

(1d10)[4]

[wilphe]

And 12,5 gc each

[farothel]

great, I could buy a shield then, so I have already some of my trappings for my next carreer. And speaking of carreers, any XP coming our way?

[wilphe]

(1d100)[98] Common Knowledge 41 on location of school

[rax]

If the Marshall is handing out free healing, Cassian could use some too. He's down to half his wounds.

Edit: Also, thanks for your concern. He's much better now and back at school. It was just a case of the sniffles, but current guidelines required us to keep him home until he he could be tested for Covid.

[DrK]

If anyone else wanted healing they can all get healed for 1d10

Oh and yes everyone can get 300 XP

[farothel]

I just have two wounds, so yes, I'll take a quick healing for: (1d10)[6]

Question: how are you on the rule that you need all the trappings of a career before you can enter it? I still need a shield, a mail shirt and a horse for some reason to get into the scout career, but while I can buy a shield now, I can't get the rest (and I wonder why I actually need a horse anyway). Can I switch, or do I hoard my XP until I can get the rest of the trappings?

[rax]

Yay, XP! I've the same dilemma as farothel, though. I don't yet have the trappings to enter Knight or my alternate path of Apprentice Wizard. I think I can buy the trappings for Apprentice Wizard right away (a staff is free and the other requirement is a printed book), but taking up an academic career in the midst of a citywide crisis might not be suitable from an RP perspective?

[rax]

And of course, I forgot to roll for healing: (1d10)[9]

[DrK]

For trappings for a career it depends on the nature of the trappings. For low key stuff like "shield", "staff" I don't really care. For more important stuff it should be either in your possession or close line of sight

As for the apprentice wizard. This could easily be Cassian talking with Andrei and Andrei starting to teach him in the pub or in the evening as he's seen how much Andrei uses and recently been in a fight with some necromancers that may have awakened his latent power.

[wilphe]

Winifred buys:

Drive Cart
Str+5
Wounds+1

And I am kind of open for where she goes next, especially as she is likely to be spending more time in melee

[farothel]

I need a chain shirt and a horse, although while we're in the city, a horse isn't all that useful anyway. I am willing to spend the next money I get for these trappings before I buy something else (except food and stuff of course).

[DrK]

You guys happy to bunk down in the Barracks for the night or you heading across town to Cassian's house? Or a nice Inn?

[farothel]

I'll bunk in the barracks for the night, as I don't have an inn and I wasn't aware Cassian had a house. We can see what we do further.

As to trappings, can I make the switch to my career without a chainshirt and horse?

Sounds fair. I was thinking that, rather than enroll in the Acadamae, Cassian would end up studying through the less prestigious Theumanexus College, but starting out by picking up the basics from Andrei could tide us over for now (Cassian, the apprentice's apprentice! )

If you're okay with it, I'll say that Cassian already owns or has access to a printed book and a staff through his family. Obviously I'll still be deducting the costs from his wealth, but I wouldn't need to RP him going out to buy the trappings.

Regarding the actual cost of a printed book, the basic rules say 100 gp, but the Old World Armoury also has a cheaper version that's glued instead of stitched. It costs 75 gp. Is it okay to go with that?

Actual XP expenditure will be:
Change career to Apprentice Wizard = 200 xp
Read/Write = 100 xp
Perception = 100 xp

Edit

Cassian doesn't, but his family has a town house where he lives. However, bunking in the barracks tonight seems like the best course of action. None of the other PCs have ever met Cassian's family and Ciraneoth and Cassian have, strictly speaking, just met. Some form of introduction where we haven't all just finished a bloody combat seems in order before inviting the others to bunk at his family's place.
