DrK Crimson Throne OOC

[DrK]

If you’re okay with Cassian piling in once it’s clear that the spell isn’t working, absolutely. 🙂 I’ll post actions after work.

Sounds good to me. Bring on the action

[wilphe]

Andrei: sleep spell fails

Now might be a time for a fortune point,,,

[Haval]

Now might be a time for a fortune point,,,

And yet I passed charm.

OK, reroll that casting fail
(1d10)[8]

That's a pass. Away from book but I think he needs to pass Wp to stay awake.

[DrK]

WP for giggles (1d100)[98]

Edit: pretty epic fail there

[wilphe]

Winifred makes sure that when he wakes up he will be unarmed and need one hand to keep his pants up

Can't decide if we should drag him inside or drag him into a nearby alley

[Haval]

If we're not killing him maybe we need a gag.

[rax]

Cassian has made a suggestion in the IC thread. I recommend speed - get him inside and then we decide whether we have the time to tie him up properly.

Also, I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, and I hope DrK doesn't feel the need to retcon, but strictly speaking an FP only allows you to re-roll a Characteristic test or Skill test. A casting roll uses your Magic characteristic to determine the number of d10s rolled, but I'm not sure it counts as a Characteristic test.

@DrK
A question about initiative - are we doing the WFRP RAW, i.e. roll 1d10+Agility, or RT-style using 1d10+Agility bonus?

Ugh this is news to me. Never used the magic rules before.

[rax]

Eh, since DrK already rolled Giggles' WP test I hope he'll let it slide this time no matter how he decides to rule it in the future.

I'm happy that you can render him unconscious without rolls and leave him restrained

Ah, I hadn't realised that. We'll know for that in the future but we can let it slide this time as its the first encounter in the game

I was using the R style 1d10+Ag bonus rather than Ag stat for initiative

Current Loot

Winifred:

Giggle's Bow and quiver

3 vials of Alchemical Acid
Whatever is in Yargin's desk less 1 gc

Yarvik's whip
Yarvik's coin purse (if appropriate)
Conents of Yarvik's desk

A 1lb golden bar inlaid with the Devil of Cheliax (16 GC assuming coins are an ounce)

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)

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

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 garne and amethyst as eyes

An abalone shell holy symbol of Selyn

A narrow teak cigar case inlaid with jade
- Containing
A highly realisic carving of two entwined succubi
A fist sized whale tooth scrimshaw carving of a kraken

A steel sceptre ~1 foot long with golden crown


An oily flask that to Andrei smells coppery with the swirling winds of Chamon

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.

[wilphe]

I don't think Winifred talked him down...

[DrK]

@ Rax

Strike to stun would be necssary, or a successful Intimidate or the like to cow him. He's surprised but not helpless

Sounds like a job for Evelina then. I think she's the only one with Strike to Stun.

Is a successful Intimidate necessary to make Yargin obey Cassian's commands about getting out of bed as well, or is the sword at his throat enough?

It's a surprise round so an intimidation is the mechanical interpretation of the sword to the throat.

[rax]

Sadly, Cassian is far too chivalrous to have Intimidate trained. I'll give it a go, though.

Intimidate test vs. 19 (S 38/2) (1d100)[43]

Edit: Alas, poor Yargin, methinks you're about to do something stupid...

[Deadguy]

Guess the dice just want us to fight.

[DrK]

For the colossal outnumbering the test modifier will make it a pass so I'll post his submission tonight. His life may yet be spared!

[wilphe]

Well Intimidate technically is getting someone to do what you want by scaring them

Failure on that can represent being laughably unscary

or it can represent scaring them so much they are incapable of doing what you want them to do - like if you want them to do something for you they are too paralyzed to do so

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

Meanwhile I will look into careers that actually have Charm and Intimidate as a skill...

[Janwin]

I vote we don't have the Dwarf be the charm person. After unskilled halving, at a mighty 13.

[wilphe]

I'm happy that you can render him unconscious without rolls and leave him restrained

Same deal for Yagrin?

[Haval]

Andrei has charm for the record. I don't think we have any reason to be nice to this guy though.

[rax]

Cassian has Charm as well, but he'll be saving that for when we need to convince someone nicely.

[wilphe]

Who is taking the wand?

Winfired is going to keep scooping up stuff until she hits encumbrance limit but that had better got to someone who can use it

[Haval]

I'll take it unless someone else really wants it. Are there restrictions on who can use those things in Pathfinder normally?

[DrK]

In pathfinder yes, it's normally casters or people who have the use magic device skill

For this, I'm just making rules for wands up. Any comments would be welcome

[Aruetii]

Sorry about my absence, computer was more damaged than I thought it was and my phone broke down the day after I dropped comp off. Am I good to get caught up and rejoin or have I missed too much?

Not a problem. Welcome back. Just breaking into the fishery

[wilphe]

If it requires WP/Channeling that means casters will be better at it anyway

I don't really know how Magic Items are supposed to work in WFRP. I assume they are rare beyond price, hard to use and will probably end up eating your soul (and sinking your boat) anyway because Warhammer

The even better part comes when we have to assess a value when/if we divvy up loot

Welcome back

So far we've taken out two people without a fight in A4 and A5 and just opened the rightmost door on the top of A4 to not much in particular and going to try the one next to it
