Iron Heroes - Dark Harbor

[Angel Tarragon]

Oh, right you U.S. people have Thanksgiving coming up. Would it be better for everybody if we delayed the actual start to the beginning of the next week?

Fine by me. I've got my character half done. I'll have it up soon.

 

[Ambrus]

Whenever you want to start is fine with me; I'm likewise in Canada. Sorry I haven't posted a draft of my character yet, I've been reading up on Arcanists and the magic system trying to wrap my brain around it. I'll try to have something up later tonight.

 

[Dalamar]

Added some of the expanded information available to characters to the original post. You can roll once for each sblock that you're eligible. In some cases, there's another sblock inside the first one, if your original roll was enough to beat the DC for the inner one, you can also read that. You don't reroll for sblocks inside sblocks.

I have none of those skills, but could I make untrained checks for the Harborside information, as that's where my PC grew up?

Dalamar, are there any mentions of active Arcanists in the city or its environs? How many are there known to be and what are they known for having done? It'd be nice to know how rare they actually are in the setting so I'd have some idea of where my character might fit in. :\

 

[Dalamar]

There are two arcane characters mentioned in the adventure, and neither of them advertises their skills. If confronted in battle, they aren't going to hide the fact, and they don't go around suppressing rumors about them.
In general, the treatment of magic and magic-users varies from fear and fearful respect to outright hostility. Arcanists are likely to be known for other matters than their spellcasting, such as being a sage or alchemist, or other such things.

Oh, and everybody can feel free to look up the information for their character's home area without a roll. There are no absolute secrets in the sblocks, merely information that not all characters are expected to know off the cuff.

Dalamar,

I updated Gregghor to try to provide some vague plot hooks. I'm game with starting whenever you are. I look forward to some Iron Fun.

Again, information added to the original post. In addition to sblocked text, Clifftop, Beggar's Flow and Defenses of Malador had some non-sblocked info added. And remember, if the DC is 10 or less, the Knowledge check can be attempted untrained.

Sorry I haven't yet posted a character; I've been busier then expected this week. I have been mulling it over quite a bit though, I just have to sit down and type it out. I haven't seen a whole lot of movement on this thread over the last few days though. I'm still interested, though I'd like to know when you're aiming to start Dalamar.

Edit: Dalamar, is there any mention in the city's description of chuches, schools, universities or libraries either private or public? Since my character's background focuses a great deal on knowledge I'm looking for people or places to add into my character history. It'd also be good to know what religions, if any, are popular in the city.
