You guys realize you don't get to choose your equipment and start with no skills, right?
EDIT: I want some wooden chainmail.Unless it is metal it is considered a breastplate.
Test balance of mace.Equip it?
Mission, I'll trade you my Iron War Hammer for your Copper Helm. I'd rather keep my spear, and I'd rather not have your boots, but I'm open to negotiation along those lines.
EDIT: Oh, and I equip the spear. Do we know if any of this stuff is magical? I can make some assumptions, but you know.
Then I will sniff my potion somewhat to see if I can gather its use from its smell. Mind you I don't sniff it greatly, more like waft a bit of it towards me so I don't inhale pure poison.You AUTOFAIL your Identify Use roll (no skill level)!
Since Scripture is a skill, does that mean we start illiterate, or just barely literate? And language - I assume we can talk normally in the local language but if we take that skill we choose a new language?You cannot read. All melee weapons are their own Specialization skill. You can take a new language with the Language skill.
Also, there isn't a melee weapon fighting skill. Did it get left off the list or does it work differently?
Does dipping a weapon in a potion use up the whole potion?Updated the potion rules a little bit back. They have 6 uses, quaffing takes 2, dipping takes 1.
Mission and Little, do either of you want my wood halberd? I'd be willing to trade it for an unidentified potion (or piece of armor; anything really).
Gonna strap it to your hammer so you can chop while you smite?
Stays well away from Frelock
Don't worry, I'll wait until we've started to do any crazy stuff, like mixing all the potions together and quaffing the result...
Oh heck I'll go with Grey and Mission.
IF (They are willing to share loot with me)
THEN (I will guard and keep an eye out instead of loot)
ELSE (I will just loot with them)
ENDIF
If both of them don't reply then I guess they aren't willing to share, so I loot with them.
Aww...I can't make the bunny into a hat?You have no levels in Bunnycrafting.
Quote from: FrelockAww...I can't make the bunny into a hat?You have no levels in Bunnycrafting.
You have no levels in Bunnywearing.
I agree. Also, I lick my bluish-white potion. Not drinking it, just a lick.Nothing happens.
And wear my ring.
I agreed with the wait/ambush plan up above.I saw.
Er, not to be rude, but why did you ask me for my mission and action, then?There is a player named Mission, and Squeegy was asking him for an action.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
by that i meant later tomorrow
Any post is a good post, even if it's late, because we love you and your games Squeegy!
Yeah I figured if they didn't enter our hut, maybe they would just pass by :/
Oh well, we can still salvage something here. We ened to all attack the same guy, kill him, and thus prevent him from attacking in later rounds. Longsword Guy is more durable, but also more dangerous, and I think it's important that he goes down first. That's why I chose him. I figure at least some of our attacks will miss parts of his armor.
Mission summons his inner shot putter and wins the Olympic gold medal!
Why is everyone getting smashed in the groinUnlucky (or lucky if you see it that way) rolls.
> engage in fisticuffs with that soldier one fellow
But he thought he would have. I mean, saying he would have knocked him out if he had made that choice is like saying "This guy would have won the lottery if he had bought the next ticket, therefore, always buy lottery tickets", or "This guy ate a sandwich and died from anthrax in it, therefore never eat sandwiches". The outcome of the decision doesn't matter, it's the probabilities.
Altogether too bad, but at least you guys get a fresh uninjured player!Says who?
Can I take and equip Ewart's spear as a free action?Not as a free action, no. It's two rounds worth.
Can I whisper that it's cursed, with my dying breath?Yes. But that doesn't make it actually cursed. (Jerk.)
>:D
Someone feel like ensuring that I don't die?No. Dibs on your iron helm.
Umm, I try to examine Gray without touching him to see if I can help him in any way.That's not how it works. You either try to bandage him or you don't. Also, looting takes a turn.
> force-feed Grey every potion I possess. Also, that wooden morningstarYou tip the bluish-white potion into Strife's mouth. He gains 9 health points! The flow of bleeding stops.
Still available: An unidentified scroll, an unidentified murky green potion, a Wooden Morningstar, Leather High boots, a Leather Buckler, Leather Greaves, a Copper Helm
Strife rolled a 2 on his burial roll. I... don't know how to take that.

Pass by the house and continue to head to the castle.
Naw, where would be the fun in that? Peek through any windows/openings. If none are readily available, listen in.
I'll follow trying to be as quiet as possiblePardon?
Pass by the house and continue to head to the castle.You listen by the door. You hear some murmuring, stifled sobbing, and suddenly something breaking.

No, you're not. Manfred left many, many turns ago.
Any clothes on the soldier's corpses? Grey needs a bag to carry loot in.No he doesn't.
Knock and wait patiently at the door.
Am... Am I practicing dodging?as soon as you get 3 more EXP sure
Oh also I need the party-of-three's next action. Join the fighting, go after Manfred, or keep looting?
Waiting patiently.Nothing continues to happen.
:|
I think you should go back to turn updates that encompass us all rather than one person at a time.I am. Cheddarius is shitting around and Strife has completely disappeared.
What?! I am not!Right, sorry. You're fucking around. Quit it.
Hmmm... The smart thing to do would be to turn around and pretend this never happened.
However, Manfred's not the intelligent type.
Stroll Boldly though the door!
I will wait.So... you're just gonna waste a turn?
OH GOD OH GOD OH GODNo. Jesus Christ, dude. Are you paying ANY attention?
Are the other people with me still?
He turns and sees a party of armed men a ways off, looking directly at him.
"And Len Handraker, did yon hag not cure thy hammertoe last Reaping? And thou, Fred Turnipeater, is thine sow no longer as barren as a Public House on Sunday morning? And Grope Haventany, thy son is no longer a sullen wastrel eating thee out of house and home."
He's dead."And Len Handraker, did yon hag not cure thy hammertoe last Reaping? And thou, Fred Turnipeater, is thine sow no longer as barren as a Public House on Sunday morning? And Grope Haventany, thy son is no longer a sullen wastrel eating thee out of house and home."
uhh.. I could have sworn I wondered off on my own?
Well, put the bracelet on anyways.
Investigate the rustle!
> keep runningYou manage to keep your distance, but they're closing in fast.
"So this nice lady in here helps deliver your children from god to you and you think her a witch? What all mighty proof you must have that she is a witch, go ahead and bring such proof forward if you have such proof at all!"The men seem even more uncomfortable. They mutter amongst themselves, and one of them says, "Well... all these bad things have been happening..."
Huzzah! A traveling companion! Though I get this odd feeling that if I knew more latin, I'd be worried for some reason.
Join with Diablous and continue towards the castle.
There's nothing left for me.
> commit suicide with the longsword
Really.
> shout for help
>*Strikes a menacing pose, while raising an eyebrow*You strike what you hope is a menacing pose and ask them to elaborate. "Weeell, our crops all failed. At once. For the same reason. An' one day ol' Johnny Thomas cursed 'er an' he fell ill and died the next. An' then Jane Hamingshire din't want 'er as a midwife an' she had a miscarrage."
>"Oh, tell me of these bad things"
Really.You shout for help very loudly. The men are gaining on you.
> shout for help
OK, here. Family trouble, has been dealt with.You're sitting in the town because everyone left without you.
If there's no complaints, figure out what's going on.
Huzzah! A traveling companion! Though I get this odd feeling that if I knew more latin, I'd be worried for some reason.You do so. The rest of the day passes without incident.
Join with Diablous and continue towards the castle.
Huh. Guess he isn't close enough to me and manfred for us to hear. Well, looks like mission heard ya.
Check inventory.
I'll run off in the direction of the cry.You head towards the cry. In the distance, you see a blob, which you can vaguely make out as a group of dots.
Check inventory.Name: Diablous
Try to go after wherever my fellow soldiers went.You set out after your fellow soldiers.
> Look stupidOne of the men tackles you from behind.
>Equip cap and mace.Done.
>Equip cap and mace.Done.
Waiting on everyone but Cheddarius.
> attempt to slash at the man
If that's futile (e.g. my arms are held)
> attempt to break free
Continue with Diablous towards the castle!
And I'm a few minutes to a day ahead of the rest of you, depending on how lucky you get.
... that was my point.
Cautiously approach the dots to see what's going on.A man appears to have been downed by bandits or something. You notice your allies' insignia on him.
> attempt to slash at the manYou struggle futilely, and the man breathes into your ear. "Now see here, you're gonna--" He is cut off when someone barrels headlong into him, sending him flying to the ground. He quickly scrambles to his feet, and you get up.
If that's futile (e.g. my arms are held)
> attempt to break free
Looks like Mission is preforming a big damn heroes. Good luck!

Hmm? I thought the man who barreled into the enemy was you.
I don't think I've fought yet.
I don't think I've fought yet.
*checks thread* What...what the hell? You haven't even spawned yet. You came from nowhere. Where did your wound come from? Where did you come from?
Good luck you guys!Thank
Must have. I hate it when that happens. Leaves me scratching my head.I don't think I've fought yet.

Okay, I get it. It must've been PMed or edited out somewhere, but Jed replaced/took over Gray Trooper when Strife disappeared. I think...
AwesomeNo.
> Hack at Scout 1's legs
EDIT: Can we layer armor? To what extent?
Can I cut armor up to make it fit better? For example if I have both High Boots and Leggings, can I cut off the leg part of the leggings to make Steel Briefs and be able to protect groin, legs, and feet all at once, instead of just 2?
He's not!
Mission is now level 2!
Cheddarius is now level 2!
Jed is now level 2!
Well no, but I am wearing leather greaves and steel greaves somehow ^_^ I'm guessing a typo. Also I would like to learn how to hide.no you're notttt
Figure out some way to heal self. I can't go walking around in such poor condition.
> offer 1 dose of health potion to Jed
EDIT:For the fifth and final time, neither Manfred nor Diablous are anywhere near your position.
Bros, there is so much sweet loot here. You guys need to come here and take your pick of the excellent stuff. Manfred, my good sir! An upstanding member of the community like you armed only with vambraces? For shame! Come, get a copper helm and some bone leggings and those wooden gauntlets I'm not using any more.

We are far away and a day ahead of you guys. Use up the day so we can do something.Sorry? Since when are you a day ahead?
You do so. The rest of the day passes without incident.
Continue with Diablous towards the castle!
For the fifth and final time, neither Manfred nor Diablous are anywhere near your position.Yeah, but they can still come over here at some point.
> Heal selfYou can either go with Mission and Jed or heal yourself.

No weapons or armor that I can see?>Look at the figures. Are they wearing uniforms? Do they have weapons? Armor?They are wearing what looks to have been peasant clothing.

>Blink it surprise, then run to the hut and open the door to peek inside, staying to the side of the opening with my back against the wall so that if anything comes out it won't hit me directlyThe hut is on fire!
"Those idiots wouldn't have been fools enough would they..."
wait wait wait diablous that wasn't you and manfred, the other one wasSo they pitchforks, and torches are at the hut? Not with the guys on horseback?
Yeah, whoops, sorry. The guys in horseback are in armor and holding weapons of some kind.wait wait wait diablous that wasn't you and manfred, the other one wasSo they pitchforks, and torches are at the hut? Not with the guys on horseback?

Meep. Try not to get seen by them.
Ah sorry thought you had described it as it looked like there had been a fire.No, the castle is still past the horizon.
>ponders for a moment
can we see the castle from here?

This.
I think he meant the hut is on fire at the moment, rather than being a burned-out shell you can safely put your back to.
Do these knights serve our king?The knights appear to be void of obvious insignia.
Stay in hiding. These guys could serve the enemy.Do these knights serve our king?The knights appear to be void of obvious insignia.
Manfred and Diablous dive for cover. As the horses draw closer, they realize it is actually three knights and a prisoner tied up on the back of the middle horse.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group is walking along when they suddenly hear a rustle in the bushes next to them.
CLEAVE IT IN TWAIN!You chop the bush. You startle a fox that had been concealed behind it, and it runs away with something in its mouth.
iPhone post!
As the bush rustles, you spot something behind it.
A clearing with three dead bodies and weapons strewn about... behind a bush?It was a tall bush.
What armor and weapons are they carrying, I mean? Any steel?
Also, inspect ground for tracks leading to/from the site.
Er, I think you accidentally left all the descriptions in, because there are a lot of "unidentified" things that say what they are.Dammit, I even told myself to delete them. Rerolled.
By the way guys, the only thing that will ever have magical properties (at least in this game) are scrolls and potions.
This is an outrage. Don't you want Cheddarius to get beheaded because his amulet was of -1 to hit or "replace blows to hands with blows to head"?Yes. But not today.
I will take the Steel Leggings if nobody objects.
Oh my. I didn't realize Mission had been kicking all this ass with metal covering his whole lower body and absolutely nothing equipped above the waist.
Guess someone's ending up on a questionable poster.
EDIT: No, he's got bracers. Somehow I don't think that'll hurt the image, though.
Continue hiding like the pansies we are!
Hey, meet up with me, I got a copper helm, iron high boots, all sorts of loot.
Hmm two dots...
"CJ you can handle the stealthy part, but I'm feeling a bit lucky today"
I circle around the two dots and then come back at them from a different direction than what CJ is coming from, I walk towards them confidently with my hammer held in one hand just in case.
if the dots are intelligent beings
>"Hail, looking for a fight or are you two actually friendly?"
if not
> I'll wait to look at the things from a distance while I think things over.
Yay! Okay, I checked and I was with Manfred hiding from knights with no obvious isignia and a prisoner. I keep hiding but try to see if there is any marks on the prisoner that tells me who his allegiance is toward. And I try to see what the knights have equiped.
Continue hiding like the pansies we are!
Quite possibly. If everyone does attack, I'll join in as well I suppose. But better to handle this peacefully if at all possible.

Enemy Knight #1 stabs deep into Charlie's groin for 28 damage, sending him flying, and rendering him unconscious (and neutered)!This doesn't matter, as he was already sterile. Might get him some pity sex though, if he survives.
He won't be able to have pity sex, he's neutered.Depends on what got cut off.
