Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Oh, whoops!
Sorry, I already posted.
Somewhat related, I have a hard time actually playing low charisma characters. >< I think sometimes the answer is simply to have it such that while my words may be polite, my inflection or delivery (or wild-haired Nuk appearance) just makes it that much less impactful.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
For me, I try to think about my other attributes. My high Int, low Cha characters tend to be acerbic, biting or impatient with those around them. Or they are extremely well spoken, but oblivious to those around them. For lower Int low Cha ones, (especially from more Warrior or primitive cultures) I go with matter-of-fact, no holds bared. “You are an excellent warrior, but why do you smell like yak piss?” “You do magic? I thought you were just frail and weak. Good to know.”
YMMV of course ...Life is ... life. As always bot/cut as necessary.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
A quick note on languages for the newcomers, as I skim the sheets:
- Heltinne & WTW - you have Common noted as a language. FWIW this is refluffed as "Nørsk" in the Northlands. Note this excludes reading/ writing Nørsk which is a second language slot of it's own (Runic). Common does exist as a separate language in it's own right but is the trade tongue of the southlands and not commonly used in this campaign setting.
- Heltinne - I think you still get Celestial as a bonus language since you're aasimar?
- Knorron - since you have Int 12 I think you have an extra language slot to spend. Other than the usual monster languages, relevant campaign options include Runic (written Nørsk), Andøvan (long-dead human inhabitants of the land), or Seagestrelander (barbarian tribes of the near south-west). If you choose a monster language ask & I'll tell you if it will be relevant or not.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
I've updated my sheet as well, loving this campaign already. Kudos to Ghostfoot for running something super immersive and with such a distinct style.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Hi all,
My apologies for my lack of posting. For whatever reason, I have been struggling mightily to get engaged and come up with a suitable post, and I really can’t explain why.
I like my character concept. I like the others characters. I like the setting. The posts are very well written and interesting. All of the players seem like the sort of folks I enjoy gaming with. And yet I’m coming up dry here. It’s really perplexing.
I think it might be best for me to bow out now, rather than try to muddle through it, so that you can offer the slot to someone else if you choose. I REALLY hate bailing on a game—I think I’ve only ever dropped one game before, and to be fair it was a terrible game—but I’d rather do it now than after my character gets well established and you all have to figure a way to drop and replace.
Truly sorry about this. As I said, the game looks great, which is what makes this hard to explain. Hope you all enjoy it, and I hope to cross paths with you again in the future.
Cheers,
MercDergosh the Loud M Half-Orc Clr 3/Bar 1 | HP: 38 (26 with rage)| Init +10 | AC 17 T12 FF15 | Fort +7 Ref +3 Will +6 | Listen +1, Spot +4 | ATK +7 (+9 w/rage) melee 1d8+3/x2, +5 ranged 1d6+3/x2 | Cleric Spells: 0--guidance, guidance, light, resistance; 1st- summon monster I, cause fear (DC 15), sonic blast D (DC 15), resurgence; 2nd-restoration, lesser (x2),sonic weapon D

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Well, it sucks when you can’t get your mojo rolling on a game ... I think we’re probably all patient enough to work through that with ya, but totally understand the choices of time and commitment. Whatever your decision, happy gaming!

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
As Starbin says, we're happy to give you a bit of time if you would like it. I find a bit of action (ie combat) always helps when the interactions are stalling and we haven't really done anything much yet.
But equally, if you want to bail out no hard feelings. If you change your mind and want to stick with it then let me know in the next ~24 hours.DM: AgeOfWorms|SavageTide|TearingOfTheWeave|Northlands Saga|Grimmsgate

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Very much appreciated, Ghostfoot, but I think now is the time for me to bow. Hope you all enjoy the game, it looks like a good one.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Hey,
Ghostfoot has asked me to fill the empty spot. As I first will need to read myself into the story (see where you are) and then figure out where I'm supposed to be (with you, on the way as 'the cavalry' if needed, or simply at home blissfully unaware), I'll probably not post in the IC for now.
Also I'll be going on holiday on Saturday and while I have WiFi (at least, two of the three locations have it for sure, the third maybe), I'll be slow the coming two weeks.Clacks-Overhead: GNU Terry Pratchett

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
I think the +1 Andovan Dagger is something that I'll pass along to someone else who was present for the fight. Either Skorri or Signy seem like good candidates? Thoughts?
Also, this amber with moth in it is odd.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Okay, I'll read the full IC tomorrow and do a first post (if for nothing else than to find the topic back more easily thanks to the 'I posted there' check mark).
EDIT: as youngest and probably least experienced member of the warband, I assume that it would be Bjorn's task to lead the found horses. So if anybody wants to say something to him while he gives back the reins of the horses, they can do so.
EDIT2: link to my character sheet, in case it's needed until ghostfoot puts it into the first post (if still needed if this episode is finished).Last edited by farothel; 2019-08-30 at 04:27 AM.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Hail and welcome newcomers!
My apologies to all - I've been taken over by real life lately, so I need to do a lot of catch up. I'll go over the IC & OOC posts later today, and try to post something as soon as I can.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Just a couple of minor tweaks for Bjorn:
- Could you add a portrait to the sheet when you get a moment please
- Common is not a free language in this game, so with +1 Int you'll get Nordic & either Runic or Common (not both).

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
I'll do those tweaks to Bjorn's character sheet when I come back from holiday, as I don't have all my stuff with me (I already have a picture, I just can't get it to show on the site). I doubt it's that urgent.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Would a Masterwork Composite Longbow (+3) be available?
If not, then DDW will offer his reward to another of the group (our giantess perhaps) stating that the Greatsword is more than reward enough for the day's venture.
