    Lol. Sitting here like... "...But a decent backyard could sustain like.. two goats, right? Little ones? How much are vaccinations on those suckers. Can I rent them to clear weeds or something to neighbours..."

    Well, time to disabuse you of those good feelings about possible success - time to engage with the roller.

    Give me some rolls, to give me an overview of the next four weeks. I want...

    4 * Int Checks, to gain more Tilean competency.
    2 * Animal Care Checks, to look after these beautiful creatures after they come into your care in week 3.
    2 * Additional Int checks, to get the hang of the the early herd handling and chook management.

    I can conceive no reason you wouldn't be able to reroll all of these with fate points over such a time period, so feel free to roll twice for each.

    Oh, and let's see how much trouble Corvo is while Ariana helps you train him as he grows. She's a smart cookie - rolled a 39 for int, and with basic 20+2d10 stats, too.

    AnimalTrainingCorvoVs59 - (1d100)[39]
    AnimalTrainingElmoVs59 - (1d100)[11]

    Looks like we got ourselves a couple of good boys; with Vittorio's dog, Elmo, as the teacher's pet. Or.. teacher's son's pet. You get it.

    Some rolls:

    Tilean competency checks:

    1. (1d100)[80] vs TN 44
    1 Re-roll. (1d100)[82] vs TN 44

    2. (1d100)[36] vs TN 44
    2 Re-roll.(1d100)[63] vs TN 44

    3. (1d100)[12] vs TN 44
    3 Re-roll. (1d100)[96] TN 44.

    4. (1d100)[58] vs TN 44
    4 Re-roll. (1d100)[57] TN 44


    Animal Care checks:

    1. (1d100)[100] vs TN 44
    1 Re-roll (1d100)[99] TN 44.

    2. (1d100)[94] vs TN 44
    2 Re-roll (1d100)[60] TN 44.


    Animal Herd and Chook Management:

    1. (1d100)[48] vs TN 44.
    1 Re-roll. (1d100)[25] vs TN 44

    2. (1d100)[29] vs TN 44.
    2 Re-roll (1d100)[36] vs TN 44




    2 successes on Fluency roll vs 44 with 8 rolls.

    Passed all the herd and chook management ones.

    Epically failled ALL the animal care rolls. 4 rolls, ~50% success rate and failed all of them. So either blow more fate points there or hopefully have Gaulfredo step in.


    Against TN 44, roughly 1/2 chance with 16 rolls I passed 6.



    I'm going to set my own discord server up and make my rolls there, the forum roller is beyond terrible and has become intolerable.

    Ooo. Pretty good overall. You can add Speak Language (Tilean) to your character sheet - you now know the language well enough to converse clearly, as long as the subject matter isn't too obscure; so neither of us need to put the 'foreigner speak' filter over our words going forth. If I think something comes up that you don't understand, I'll make it clear in the post. And your general farming rolls have come up pretty well - but man, those animal care rolls came at you with a knife.

    Edit: Nooo, you have to use the forum roller! It's both tradition, and also as the protagonist in the thread, it's important to have an easilly accessible record of rolls in the sequence as they come up! Reject superstition! Embrace technology, cruel though it feels!

    Fate has cast its lot already, I'm afraid! But you can't be too mad at those rolls, they were a pretty good set all up. It's just that highly galling 100->99 that makes it sting.


    As for what now... We shall see! I'll post a reply and we'll see how things go with the birbs and sheps in a few hours. I have to go to the shops and buy cheese before I'm babysitting shortly, because I've watched about 3 hours of cheesemaking videos and I need cheese.

    P.S. What's your gold total at, by the way? You'll need, I think, 8gold or so to get the trappings to start off as your adjusted Hedgecraft Apprentice. Antitoxin kit, Healing Poultice, Healing Draught.

    Nothing. Like 1 penny.

    She invested everything into being a farmer, had everything going for her until the final boss - the Giantitp Forum Roller.

    It makes me happy that you are already so attached to Taalia and protective of her heart!

    It would be cruel of me to cause a bad roll to just kill a bunch of sheep within 2 weeks with two experienced farmers on hand. It’s just not going to be smooth sailing. There will be peril involved.

    Prepare for peril!

    Three visual perception rolls, let's see.

    I'm going to roll these one at a time, for obvious reasons.

    Perception roll 1: (1d100)[75] VS TN 44

    *Sigh* of course.

    Re-rolling with fate.

    Also:

    The ox is walked to your property by one of the red-haired brothers who made the sale. A healthy looking beast with big crescent horns and a white furred hide, with cannons of rusty red on its shins.
    It took me two re-reads to realise you were describing the ox and not the lad himself, thinking he was a beastman that had passed nearly impossible Disguise rolls, because Johnnie Walker Black is fantastic.

    You are correct, and I responded.

    I think as time goes on my posts will become shorter as Taalia further ingratiates herself into Tilean customs and ways, as big chunks of my posts are her reflecting on them.

    Now you ARE being unfair to the roller. These are average results! This is a reasonable spread of numbers!

    Also, I think you used all 3 of your fate points rerolling Perception rolls to find the bleeders. But don't despair! It's just an int check!

    Using Flee! Not to run away, per say, but she's not running at the thing either. For: (1d10)[10] rounds.

    For 10 rounds Taalia has +1 movement.

    Leading the ram away, eh? under normal circumstances that would require an animal care check. But you paid the premium for a good quality ram - so no roll required. Let's see if the troll falls for it. His int is 18, and he needs to beat an int check to keep doing what he was doing, which was approaching Gaulfredo. I'll use the forum roller, for maximum anguish.

    It sure is. One more roll to see if the troll has a single brainwave to realize all his food is getting away, or if he's going to stare into the flame and blow it all.

    (1d100)[71], looking for that 18.

    "Of all the words by tongue and pen, by far the saddest are "I could have been...""

    "The first rule of success is to have a vision. You see if you don’t have a vision of where you are going, if you don’t have a goal for where to go, you’ll drift around and never end up anywhere...can you imagine a majority of people don't know where they are going? I knew where I was going!” – Arnold Schwarzenegger
