Turn 7, Part 1
Gilbert loses 2 VP to bleeding. He is now bleeding 1 VP/turn.

Alphonse moves 2m southeast, 2m east.


Some lighter spots in the dust suggest there used to be more things in this room that were moved. Regardless, a few desks remain, and an empty lockbox. The corpse lying in the corner is likely fresher.

[Andres]

What's on the corpse?

[Squeegy]

A Poor Dagger (88/100), Tunic, Pants, Lockpicks (5 uses), Incense, and a ha'penny.

[kj1225]

More stabbity.

[Andres]

I call dibs on the corpse's stuff and use my Investigation skill to search the room.

[Squeegy]

Are you searching it for something? Because otherwise that'd be Visual Acuity. And normally you would have already taken your turn, but you only took a half action, so I'd allow you to tack on a full action. This time.

Turn 7, Part 2
Hordor takes a stab at the Undead Skirmisher. (AD:8;ED:6;10,3) He hits it in the torso for 3 damage. As the pitchfork sinks into the Undead's flesh, it abruptly goes still. As he withdraws it, it collapses on the floor, finally dead.


The party gains 2 XP. Turns are now free.

[kj1225]

Hordor stabs it several more times to make sure it's dead.

They both mention checking rooms for stuff as stuff to do so I was kinda confused. I'll do that then. Will I have to spend 2 different turns to search those desks?

EDIT: EXP TNL doesn't calculate for how much experience someone already has.

...
Why would it calculate for that?

Oh, if you want to search the desks that would be Investigation, yes. But Investigation is long-term, so it would take 2 turns to do.

Because you don't spend EXP, and it's only used for getting to the next level, EXP is reset to zero every time you advance a level. Section 6.2:

The character’s XP is then reset to zero, and they receive a new XPTNL equal to 9 plus the square of the character’s level.

"Experience To Next Level" counts how much XP you have until you reach the next level, doesn't it?

Investigation it is.

Indeed, I'm fully aware of that. I guess both ways of recording XPTNL are valid.

[Squeegy]

I don't see how how much XP you've gained in total is relevant to how much experience you need for the next level, so I'm a bit confused as to what the issue is. If you understand the way the book does it, why did you bring it up?

e: kj1225, could you please subtract the damage you dealt during that fight from your weapon's HP? Also, please fix your raw attack dice.

e2: kj1225, don't forget to add the 2 XP you got.

[birdy51]

"Gilbert, over here."

Helena tears the Peasant Dress into bandage strips, then waits for Gilbert to walk over to apply the bandages.

Say you need to pick 20 apples today. In three hours, you've picked 11 apples. How many more apples do you need to pick until you've finished picking apples?

Again, both ways of calculating it are perfectly valid.

[Squeegy]

You need to pick 20 and you've picked 11. Are you suggesting that the XP should be subtracted from the TNL rather than being a separate number? I've never even heard of that.
