Does Winifred think they are trying to communicate or just using Blather on her?

She thinks they are trying to communicate but don’t share a language

[wilphe]

Well hopefully one of the others will have a mutual language or Long Knife will happen to be able to speak to them

[farothel]

I doubt they speak elven and I know that dwarves in general have issues with elves, so I'm not going to try.

[rax]

Don't see anyone that speaks Dwarf and I'm pretty sure the two that ran off are going to warn the other denizens of this place, but I won't have Cassian start chopping away until Winifred indicates that she's given up on talking.

I thought you might learn each others languages so as to insult each other better...

Or they have gone to get someone who can communicate with us; it'd be brave of them to leave two alone with us if they think us hostile and we don't think they are trying Blather on Winifred

That said I think a fight is more likely than not, but if that happens at least we can butcher them with a clear conscience.

That might also be a difference in running a Pathfinder/3,5 module in WFRP2.

In the former system you can start fights because you are expected to win and suffer no long term consequences.

WFRP is more old-school in that entering combat itself is more of a fail state because even winning can be bad for you

[rax]

While the dangers of WFRP are certainly greater than in D&D, the information Haval was given about what these guys are like does indicate a high likelihood of them being morally reprehensible without needing to do anything to prove it to us. Plus, this is a starter level adventure in D&D terms, and those levels are just as deadly as WFRP.

[farothel]

Maybe, but in the Warhammer system it's very difficult to learn languages, where in PF1 it's very easy.

In Warhammer, if you want to start a fight, better make sure you have surprise. It's a lot safer that way.

Happily that keeps it simple with "players" then "derro"

[farothel]

Did my shooting attack do anything? I think the first one is a hit, right?

And with Toughness bonus 4, the magical dart doesn't do anything, unless it's direct wounds without armour (often) and toughness bonus (rare I think).

[rax]

Magic dart appears to function as a normal weapon, so both AP and TB should reduce damage.

Edit: Also, it reads to me like Ciraneoth dropped his target.

Yup, the arrow from Cieranoth kills the derro

With that low a roll you managed to soak the magic dart

[DrK]

WP test (including Resist Magic talent) (1d100)[63] TN ??

[DrK]

I'll catch up tomorrow. I was away at the weekend obstacle racing and then had a busy couple days of work. I'll be back online tomorrow and update then

[wilphe]

Glad to hear you are ok

[rax]

Easy WP test (1d100)[31] vs. 60 (WP 40, Difficulty +20)

[Haval]

Wp test vs. Wp 51 (+20)
(1d100)[97]

[Haval]

Going to use my Harrow point on that as Andrei's picked up enough insanity from miscasts.

Good use of the harrow point

Current Loot

An abalone shell holy symbol of Selyn
= We should return this to the church and they will owe us a favour




Winifred:

Giggle's Bow and quiver

3 vials of Alchemical Acid

Knuckleduster

Lamn's dagger that is exceptionally sharp and in a strange shape almost like a key with an inscription reading "For an inspiration of a father" (BC Dagger, +5% WS, gains fast quality)


Cassian

An oily flask that to Andrei smells coppery with the swirling winds of Chamon
Oil of Keen Edge Magical oil, smear on a weapon = for 20 minutes that weapon gets Impact and Armour Piercing [1] qualities


Andrei:

Wand of Acid Splash
Functions as a S2 magic missile (that always reduces AP by 1 on the location it hits)

Power (1d10) CN 5 on a 1 it depletes for ~ 24 hours
One can attune one self to a wand by making a WP test (or channelling if better). A critical failure on that test breaks the wand.

Derro Mystical Run necklace +10% to Chanelling tests when worn


++++++++++++




Other:

A silver ring bearing the inscription "For Emmah, the light of my night"
retained by the Marshall

An elaborate brooch of a house drake and an imp (two pests that infest the roofs of the cities noble dsitricts) coiled like yin and yang in heavy gold with a large garnet and amethyst as eyes
Returned to Queen

Derro Crossbow

Derro Rocks



Ultimate Want List:

Winifred:


Helmet 30

2 books at least 75 each (Dilettante Trappings)


Cassian

Going between Knight and Apprentice Wizard

Knight
Some weapons
Full Plate 400
Destrier 500


Apprentice
100gc for a printed book

Andrei

If going to Journeyman Wizard needs 500 gc for Grimoire

[wilphe]

How is everyone?

[Haval]

How is everyone?

I'd say we can try Cassian's plan with the dead Derro. I had an academic knowledge check there to see if it's worth trying.

Otherwise I can magic dart the nearest skull just to see what happens. I have to pass the casting roll but otherwise it auto hits.

[farothel]

I'm okay to throwing a corps in there and see what happens.

[wilphe]

Wondering how the good Dr is

I am ok with chucking a corpse in and then shooting

I don't think it needs magic dart

[rax]

You ended your last post with Winifred asking Long Knife for his opinion, so I've been waiting for DrK to reply before doing anything.

In terms of ranged combat, don't forget that Andrei also has the wand of acid splash if he doesn't want to risk casting Magic Dart.
