initiative Ciraneoth: (1d10+4)[14]

EDIT: I think I'm first

[farothel]

I'll be away from the 6th of August until the 23rd. While I normally should have internet at my destinations, I will be slower in replying, especially the last 5 days when I'm at the Discworld Con.

[rax]

Have fun! (Etc. so that this post may be posted)

Enjoy! Both your trip to the UK and the ‘Con
What will be happening at a Discworld Con?

Unless it was an incredibly powerful necromancer (in which case dismemberment, burning to ash and then dissolving the ash in sanctified water may be required) there is little danger from them. But burning to ash is normally advised as other necromancers may want useful "parts" of the dead necromancer as spell and ritual components

[wilphe]

Well Winifred needs two more books for Dilettante trappings so I hope there is something more or less wholesome there?

[wilphe]

Also we have a library and a bedroom, what is the third?

Sorry, the third was a wee anteroom ahead of the bedroom. It was unremarkable so I forgot to describe it

[farothel]

I'll be on holiday from Saturday. While I will have internet (normally) the first days, it will probably not be all that good and from the 8th until the 19th or 20th, I will have no internet at all. From then on until the 29th (when I'll be back) it's probably spotty again. GM feel free to bot my character where needed during my no-internet period.

Current Loot

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

Horse and Cart
- Book value of 75, but both likely to be poor for 37,5

22gp

There are 3 grimoires that deal with magical theory, and of a suitably generic nature that they would not be banned by the Acadamae

The skin wrapped tome though as he looks at it is saturated with necromantic power. He soon realises that it contains the instructions for a ritual of dark evil. One that could be learned should he wish to learn the forbidden "Flesh stitching of the Necrarch" although just flicking through the book may risk madness and corruption of body and soul

Cabbagehead's Doll
a small child's doll in filthy condition, the hair now partly pulled out and one of the button eyes missing.

If you use more than 1 die than tzeentch curse strikes and the gruel is mildly toxic and the spoon is depleted for 24 hours. if you use 1 die and it rolls a 1 its just depleted for 24 hours

I presume one of the casters will take this



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 Probably just got this

Andrei

If going to Journeyman Wizard needs 500 gc for Grimoire Probably just got this

[farothel]

Here's the wishlist for Ciraneoth:

medium armour (mail shirt)
best craftmanship full leather armour
horse with saddle and harness

I of course wouldn't say no to a magical elf bow or a best craftmanship full chainmail armour, but that might be a bit much.

[wilphe]

Can't hurt to ask.

The magic item drop so far has been "stuff only casters can use" and "one off expendables"

Not that Winifred is particularly after magic anyway

[wilphe]

Do we want to ask Tiadora to join us henchman?

Then later Longknife?

[Haval]

Do we want to ask Tiadora to join us henchman?

Then later Longknife?

Couldn't hurt. It's nice to have allies.

[rax]

Why Liadora? Have we seen any remarkable qualities in her that would be useful to have on our side?

[wilphe]

Because Cassian has seen she is a warrior (which is why Winifred has not asked here IC)

She is likely to be loyal and probably needs a job (and equipment)

Also party make up right now is forcing Winifred into a melee role that doesn't necessarily fit with how she thought she would be developing

[rax]

Well, "she may have experience with weapons" covers a lot of ground. She could be a warrior, but even a street robber could be said to have "experience with weapons".

But sure, we could always engage her in conversation about her qualifications and future plans. If she is a fighting type and interested in working for us, we can probably afford to employ her for a while given the current state of our finances. If nothing else, perhaps Winifred can employ her as a bodyguard if she has the right skill set?

[farothel]

I've added +5% to Int and WP.

Also, as said before, tomorrow will start my internet free period until around the 20th of September. Please bot my character as needed.

[wilphe]

Winifred has now maxed out servant including all options, with 50XP in the bank

[rax]

I added Savvy and Search.

[Haval]

I have xp banked, so switching career to Rogue because it builds up Andrei's combat skill a bit more

Taking +5 to WS, Ag, Fel, as well as Gamble and Streetwise.

[wilphe]

Ok I didn't see that coming

[Haval]

I suppose I should check if there are specific rules about going back into a career you've already finished in order to use the career exit.

[wilphe]

It explicitly says you can do that on page 29 of Core

Though the designers appear to have forgotten that in places

Excellant. It's never come up for me before.

[rax]

Anyone want to claim the magic axe, or should Cassian carry it for now?

[Haval]

Anyone want to claim the magic axe, or should Cassian carry it for now?

I'll take it if no one else wants it.

[farothel]

Ciraneoth is more a ranged fighter. He can use it, but it's better to have a full melee fighter have it.

[wilphe]

Cassian takes the Axe, Winifred takes the other thing ?
