Couldn't swim, got on a boat anyhow. It sank, but somehow you're alive. Sand beneath you, forest in front, shore behind, wreckage & cargo around, and a broken shipwreck. You're soaked and see a little blurry just now. It's hard to perceive or remember things now, but hopefully that will pass.

[vjmdhzgr]

I: +1A
II: +1 J, K, then, uh,S maybe? If engraving artwork can't be applied to metalworking at all, then either L or Y.
III: +1 A
IV: +1 A
The idea is we're a weapon/armorsmith from the mountainhomes taking some equipment we've smithed to a new settlement where there's less smiths and we'll be more needed.
EDIT:Oh, five skills. In that case J, K, L, Y, and S, unless engraving can't really be applied to metalworking which I think it could, in which case a weapon skill in hammers would be nice if it was available, but if not then Z.

[Transcendant]

Engraving applies to all substances you have sufficient tools to engrave. So, this can be metal, but is tool dependent.

vjmdhzgr please specify your third choice and pick two more for a total of 5 skills. Thank you.

J, K, L, Y, and S for your vote then?
J.) Craft Armor
K.) Craft Weapons
L.) Craft Metalwork
Y.) Skill Merchant
S.) Artistry Engraving

[vjmdhzgr]

Yeah.

[femmelf]

Don't want a three way tie, so I'll vote for one of those up there in a bit.

If I go for the military dwarf, then that's a fighting game and wilderness survival with fort building focus. If I go for the crafting dwarf, then that's us hoping there's some settlement nearby or some way to at least get ore and a forge, plus food and shelter and stuff like that. The problem picking is we don't know where we washed up so it's a gamble either way.

Edit: Meh. His stuff is all kinda jumbled. I don't know.

I'll second vjmdhzgr

I: +1A
II: +1
J.) Craft Armor
K.) Craft Weapons
L.) Craft Metalwork
Y.) Skill Merchant
S.) Artistry Engraving
III: +1 A
IV: +1 A

The idea is that the dwarf was a thief in a large city, stealing from the nobles and more wealthy merchants.

[Transcendant]

So far it looks like the dwarf is a forge master until and unless the next round of votes kicks in.

Either way, the game is flexible enough to allow for multiple paths. Clearly, if you chose a character with fewer combat skills, you might not wanna fight as much, just like if you didn't have crafting skills, that might not be a major focus choice you'd want (otherwise you would've done it?).

Preview of the next vote will be what to do next. You'll meet a couple survivors (you didn't think you were the only one did you?) and presumably try to figure out where you washed up, and what to do next.

(Come on guys, there is no wrong vote this time. Just do it.).

[vjmdhzgr]

Your last post was a bit unclear. Are we voting on what to do now, or waiting for more people to vote on the character's background?

[Transcendant]

OOC: Purposefully vague.Can't vote on things that hadn't happened yet. They will below. Also was giving people time to vote. They had about 2 days, so now you're a forger who can make things out of metal.

IC: Eyes focus; head clears. Weight slides off your back, and your full pack slightly dents the sand next to you. Your black, bronze buttoned, military support uniform is soaked. You were finished with your post and going to take a relaxing job as a forge-wright. Somehow, you imagine you might be late....

Looking around, there are 7 broken wooden crates are behind you by the shore near the large wreckage. 4 intact crates and one limp Dwarven Woman are to your left. 10 ft to your right are three passed out dwarves in military uniforms similar to yours except green. Sitting on a rock about 20 ft further from them is a bald dwarf whittling a pile of wooden stakes in a leather overcoat next to a fire pit and a pile of wood he hasn't lit yet. Sadly, there are a fair deal of dead washed up as well, a dozens really.... It's a somewhat shocking sight and it takes a moment to process at the very least. Plodding along, an old dwarf in a medical uniform seems to be on a somewhat daunting task of trying to manage the swell of bodies, corpse or otherwise. he closes many eyes.

Finally, there are about 5 or 6 humans scattered about that don't look dead, and oddly there's a lone dwarf fishing on the coast with some nets. Everyone is generally in a daze, or rather appears to be at first glance. Disarray describes the people, cargo, wreckage, and scene, but then again, it is a shipwreck.... That's for sure.

Try to learn who these other people are and what's in those crates. I get the impression we might be stuck here a while.

[vjmdhzgr]

Panic and go insane due to he massive amount of stress from seeing dwarves die!


Nah, just +1 to the person above me.
