Message: <blockquote data-quote="pemerton" data-source="post: 9522520" data-attributes="member: 42582">We played today, again with 3 PCs present: Telemere the Elven Ranger, Fea-bella the Elven Dreamwalker, and Golin the Dwarven Outcast.After a prologue from Telemere's player, which allowed Telemere to recover from his Anger, we went through the various stages of the respite. Golin trained in Persuader (going to rank 2) and Orator (going to rank 4), replaced his Teaching-wise (which hadn't really worked out) with Cult-wise, and was the subject of a tale by Telemere about what a strange Dwarf he is, which took his Odd trait to level 2. Telemere and Fea-bella also christened him "the Beardless" in line with the pirates' mis-naming of him, which they both found incredibly amusing, although Golin didn't seem to get the joke.Telemere trained in Persuader and Hunter (going to rank 3 in both), added Outlaws-wise (given that he is constantly dealing with pirates, bandits, brigands and the like), and was the subject of a tale by Fea-bella about how much of a loner he is, so frequently vanishing in the middle of things to go and pursue his own goals: this play on the player's inability to attend a number of sessions over the course of the game stepped up Telemere's Loner trait to level 2. He had already been christened with his epithet, "the Unready", by Fea-bella in an earlier session (for reasons that I can't remember now).I can't remember all of Fea-bella's training - I think Scavenger to go to rank 4, and perhaps Lore Master. She replaced Hills-wise (which hasn't seen much use) with Cache-wise (to help her find hidden loot!). And was the subject of a tale by Golin, about how heedless she is in pursuing her goals. After discussion, we agreed that her Dream-haunted trait was replaced by the trait Driven (by her dreams). Telemere also suggested that her epithet "Always Reading" be replaced by "the Avaricious".There was also revisiting of Creeds ("Contemplate This on the Tree of Woe"). Golin left his unchanged (Elves are lost in dreams; they need grounding in reality), but Fea-bella - moved by her experiences adventuring with Golin - altered hers to These are dark times - the Free Peoples must stand together; and Telemere, after we discussed it at the table, took on as his Creed This world of humans needs guidance away from their folly and struggle. It was noted that there is something of a tension between the PCs' creeds - Golin's attitude towards Elves, Telemere the Elf's despair of humans, and Fea-bella's optimism about the ability of the Free Peoples to stand together.</blockquote>
