[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9570024, member: 42856"] Indeed. In this case, they turned it 0.5 degrees sideways :-) TBH, I am glad they did, so their world has, all around the same time period, the Crusades with Levant states AND the carolingian expansion against the Saxons, with paganism still strong (and casting fireball, which helps it resist better than it did historically... if Blue Tattoos really did make one invincible in battle, I'd taken Pict as a foreign language at school instead of English). It's very close but distinctive enough that I think they made the right choice not to make it an historical RPG. Their fantasy is also closer to folk legends than Tolkien's. Yes. I don't see how they could make this more ominous :-) At least we know there we can confide in the prediction saying that going by ship is bound to fail. [In the aftermath, I'll explore what can happen if we choose the other paths to Wyrd]. Since cloaks are very expensive, let's fill our inventory with a brazier and bedrolls for 27 gp. Here is the updated inventory: [spoiler] Winny rank 3, FP 10/9, PA (psychic ability) 6, Awareness 6, Damage 1d6+2, HP 19 [LIST=1] [*]Armour AR3 [*]Bludgetranker (+1 FP, +1d6 damage vs Giants) [*][S]A[/S] brazier [*]A cape with a silver wolf clasp [*]Dagger of Vislet [*]Golden Snuff-Box [*]A checkerboard and pieces for Krarthian chess [*]An Orb of Fire [*]Two blue gems (formerly eyes of a creature) [*]A bedoll [/LIST] Trixie rank 3, FP 8/7, PA 6, Awareness 8, Damage 1d6+1, HP 19 [LIST=1] [*]Sword of Redundancy +1 [*]Armour AR2 [*]Money pouch with 355 gp [*]Bow [*]Quiver (6 arrows) [*]A healing meal [*]A healing meal [*]A healing meal [*]A healing meal [*]A healing meal [/LIST] Salvia rank 3, FP 7, PA 7, Awareness 6, Damage 1d6+1, HP 16 [LIST=1] [*]Quarterstaff [*]Armour AR2 [*]Bow +1 [*]Quiver (6 arrows) [*]A healing meal [*]A healing meal [*]A healing meal [*]A healing meal [*]A healing meal [*]A healing meal [/LIST] Esmeralda rank 3, FP 6, PA (13/15+1), Awareness 6, damage 1d6, HP 10 [LIST=1] [*]Obsolete Sword of Uselessness +0 [*]Armour AR2 [*]1 scroll of Invisibility (to freely flee a fight) [*]1 scroll of Time Blink (to rewind a fight) [*]A charm of Shielding AR +1 [*]A ring of Sorcery PA +1 [*]A bedroll [*]A bedroll [*]A bedroll [*]A silver reliquary of St Ashanax [/LIST] [/spoiler] Redoing the inventory showed me that I had totally forgotten that Trixie now has a +1 sword and that Esmeralda is AR3.
