[OOC] Into the World

[nick012000]

I hope that owning a fairly simple mortar and pestle and a spell component pouch would be acceptable for his "Ma's old magic stuff"? Granted, said spell component pouch wouldn't be of much use until he learns how to cast spells, but still.

Out of curiosity, why can't we be proficient with Staffs? They're "free" (0 gp cost) as well as clubs, and what wizard (wannabe) would be without his staff?

Also, I hope someone has the foresight to go and pack some food and water. I don't think any of us have the Survival skill...

Rosette will be proficient in daggers considering her skill in cooking and aspirations to become a rogue.

So does this mean we get said weapon? I'm not clear on what equipment we can assume to have at this point.

 

[Voldrath]

Riggan shall rely on his sling then. I believe both he and Trid have survival, but thats a bit flimsy for 7 people. Provisions are probably a good idea.

 

[Amazing Triangle]

you forgot my favorite free weapon which is my "walking stick" a Quarterstaff which is just a long stick. 1d6 and is a simple weapon. Is this ok? I thought it fit as he hikes and wants to be a woods guy (druid).

Again I am the last of the day...if you ever need something from me Email me and I will try to post faster.

I have Survival and I am going to forage for roots and Berries can't figure there would be much else.

I think we will be getting out of Dodge!

That sounds acceptable, if said spell component pouch is empty. I'm literally trying to build from nothing here.

The list of equipment was generated mainly from my poor knowledge of impliments you would find around a farm, and I didn't envision a lot of goat herding, and thus no staffs. I suppose if you really want the quarterstaff, which is something that you probably could have manufactured yourself in your spare time, then by all means go ahead and use it.

Also, I hope someone has the foresight to go and pack some food and water. I don't think any of us have the Survival skill...

Of course, you will have to role play that

So does this mean we get said weapon? I'm not clear on what equipment we can assume to have at this point.

Yes, your characters had some background in this game, and I'll allow one simple weapon to be a part of that background.

yes, yes, I fergot the walking stick, er quarterstaff. Go ahead. I was going for stuff you would find around a farm, and really wasn't thinking outside that little box.

Again I am the last of the day...if you ever need something from me Email me and I will try to post faster.

Actually, what I found helpful is subscribing to the threads, assuming enworld has your current address. That way, I get emailed when you guys post. I doubt I'll remember to ping you, I'm more apt to just wait a few more hours

Again, you guys will need to roleplay. I doubt your going to want to set out so close to evening, but thats just me. That sun is starting to hang low.

Riggan shall rely on his sling then. I believe both he and Trid have survival, but thats a bit flimsy for 7 people. Provisions are probably a good idea.

I keep driving this point home, but I really don't want to give you guys anything for free, outside a few pieces of personal effects and one simple weapon. If you are packing for the journey, you'll need to post it, or it didn't happen. I'm not trying to be a stickler here, but I literally want to build from nothing, to epic heroes. Or at least the paragon of your class.

It'd probably have things like rose petals and similar herbs in it, if that would be acceptable.

Also, I'm wondering if it might be an idea for most of our characters to be related; it's a small village, and any event that leaves us all unrelated orphans would have wiped out most of the adult population.

Darren and Malixus could be cousins on their mother's side. But Darren was raised by the old village scribe after ma's death and became a little bit infected by the old man's superstitiousness. He wanted to save Darren's soul from his "devil worshipping" relatives.

@nick012000 + bytor4232: Would this be fine by you?

Some of you could be related, thats fine. I wouldn't want to see all seven of you being related, however.

It wouldn't be uncommon in these ancient times for adults to die off at a young age, especially in a backwater thorp with no cleric.

 

[renau1g]

I've got a point in Survival also, but if we're all starving I'm not sure how much food there would be to pack. I'll bring some water maybe, but I'm not sure if they'd even have a waterskin... maybe carry a bucket or clay pitcher with some semi-drinkable water from the well. I'll post it in the IC thread when the next day starts, Mikhail will probably grab the water on the way to meet the others.
