I suppose you could always do something like this:

|Hit=blah blah blah<br>
<b>Aftereffect:</b> blah blah blah

That should look the same on the resulting sheet, I think. As far as I know, all the template does is take whatever text is after the "|Field=" text and put it in the 'right' spot on the resulting wiki page.

That is basically what I ended up doing. Which really isn't any big deal, I just figured if there's a template it ought to cover all the bases.

On another subject...

How does one refer to a person or thing hailing from the Valley of Bone?

"Boner" is the obvious choice, but suffers from an obvious drawback.

For that matter, is someone from Daunton a Dauntonian, or what?

I've always assumed Dauntonian. Not sure, maybe Bonite? (like Banite from FR)

What would the Aztec for "Valley of Bone" be? That would make for a colorful derivative, though "Bonite" could work.

How about Magar, or Magari. Given that's their language it makes a certain amount of sense.

Well, apparently, the language of the direct descendants of the Aztec is called Nahuatl, spoken by about 1,5 million people.

I found an online dictionary of Nahuatl to French

tepēihtic (Valley)
Omitl (Bone)

I also found :

mācēhualli (the People)

I think calling themselve 'The People' is fairly typical. Many cultures have done it.

Why not a combination of those suggestions? Link what name is used to who is using it, and under what circumstances. So, when they're talking about themselves or an outsider is being nice, they use either Magari if they're talking about current residents or Mācēhualli if they're talking about people of a more tribal descent. Sort of a distinction between the dwarven kingdoms and the aboriginals that you know are running around in there. IN addition, those attached to a particular kingdom will probably use that kingdom's name as well.

Outsiders can call them Bonites if they're being more vulgar in speech, and either Boneheads or even Boners if they're being derogatory. Heck, let boner mean the same think in L4W it does on Earth, and you've just invented a new way to call someone a wanker and tied it into the setting proper!

Just a quick question; in the even of a disease breakout in Daunton, do you think the Temple of Lauto would be the site of an infirmary, or a smaller temple of one of the other gods?

If we stick to the Greek Mythology, Appolo was the god of medecine. But I am sure every gods can have cleric with their spin on it. Lauto is Hades, right? You could put the terminal ward at a Lauto temple for sure.

Yep. The voices in my head do it, too.

Kamotz would be willing to heal the diseased, but he'd also be willing to kill the sick to "relieve" their suffering...

I don't know how the Temple of Lauto would handle it though...

Kamotz is affiliated but doesn't worship the same way as the Temple... He is into Death itself not necessarily the god of the dead.

All good ideas, thanks!

I wasn't necessarily looking for one true official term in the first place... I was just coming up dry for any term. So this is great stuff.

The temple of Juna (Juno? Jena? I can't remember how it's spelled today...) has a hospital complex, as was established in Closed Eye. I think Zombies and Crooks has a hospital at the temple of Vena.

I imagine most temples would have at least some kind of hospital facility. After all, healing is associated with divine servants in general. Though perhaps not Lauto -- maybe they have a hospice, to ease the passage of the terminally ill? It was in my head that Juna's priests would perhaps specialize in healing more than other gods' servants, but I think that was just in my head from vague memories of greek mythology.

Probably more realistic would be that each deity's servants would specialize in medical matters related to that diety's portfolio. Juna would deal with motherhood, childbirth, etc, Lauto would deal with the terminally ill, Palladys might deal with mental illness, Maros might cover wounds from battle, and so forth.

+1. Dunamin and renau1g can thumb-wrestle over it or something, but somebody do something.

I browsed through the Fey Lord game and I think I could wrap it up. And I do mean wrap it up; one last encounter or so to tie up loose ends and free the PCs to go back to the inn to join adventures run by DMs who have actually designed it!

If Dunamin wants to take it over (or Mal) I'm fine with that, I just didn't want to see gamers stuck, get frustrated and either leave the site or drop their PC's. If the judges want me to do it send me an e-mail with the adventure details.
