[OOC] Bifyrd-Feron Adventure [Iron Gauntlets] 3 of 4

[doghead]

maerdwyn: the river is a little way aways yet. Before you set off, do you want to do a beediction sacremant thingy?

DzZ: I'll get a list of equipment up shortly. But for now you can just note any equipment you think approproprate on the character sheet.

 

[hafrogman]

yeah, sorry. Busy week at work.

maerdwyn: the river is a little way aways yet. Before you set off, do you want to do a beediction sacremant thingy?

Yep - was going to have her perform it for the three of them once DrZ was ready to go.

 

[doghead]

OK, the way I understand it, Forissa conducts a ceremony (benediction check), then DrZ makes an pledges and oath (sacrament check). Default difficulty is Routine (2 steps required).

The Benediction is a sustained task with a 15 minute increment. Spending another 15 minutes adds 1D (although this is not necessary in this case as Forissa made the 2 steps) When the task is complete, Forissa DrZ gets an endowment.

So, DrZ needs to pledge an oath, (make a sacrement check: roll a number of D10 equal to Guarin's Divinity score, each result equal to or under his Benediction skill is a step. Two steps are needed).

Then Forissa(?) can choose an endowment. The endowment will last for the length of the 'quest'.

BTW. The rules suggest granting 1 freebie endowment to characters for each point of divinity they have. This is a DM discretion endowment, to be used to control the flow of the story.. Passionate prays to God by characters may also prompt me to throw one in.

I rolled Gaurin's Sacrement to speed things up. sacrement (2, 6, 5) gives him one step, enough for a success with the town's people Diff mod. Good choice with Efficacy. I think it meant to be just at creation, but this works. I'll give Gaurin a +1 Acc mod until Myrel is rescued or the quest ended. It counters the -1 Acc of two handed melee weapon like the Warhammer (or War Pick as they call it here). Damage is already 3INJ.

halfrogman: The fishermen are at Broke-back. They are the ones waiting for Lucin and his party. The boats are the ones discussed in the meeting in the hall.

thotd

 

[DrZombie]

Go ahead, doghead, you do all the rolling of dice, I have absolutely no idea whatsoever of how this system works.

 

[doghead]

When characters are faced with a task/decision, I will give you a break down of the mechanics in an ooc post. I think that this is the easiest way for me to give you an accurate idea of the difficulty involved. Assuming that you understand the explaination, go ahead and roll. You can narrate the outcome as well. If you have any questions or thoughts, feel free to let me know.

You don't need to master the system, I can handle that. But hopefully this approach will give you an insight into the system and some of the options available to you - like Prostrated tasks.

If I get the chance, I will try and put a little system description at the beginning of the ooc thread.

halfrogman, can you put a copy of Tarren in the RG thread. Thanks.

Thought I might point out that we haven't seen Doghead for a bit.

I'm not sure where he's from, but if "the great southern land" is South America or Australia, it's possible that he's gotten caught up in the loss of access that some people from those areas are suffering and have been since the 23rd, which is the last day DH was here.

If that's true, we may have a bit of a wait.

 

[Maerdwyn]

I believe that he is, indeed having some access troubles - I'll sit tight for a while

 

[Erekose13]

doghead is indeed having difficulty. He has been communicating with Morrus and the powers that be to try and diagnose why some people from outside the continent are having difficulty accessing Enworld.
