    Starting the new month to kick things off. Roll for additional events, training, alchemy, etc. Someone will know the drill.

    And sorry it's been so long, Hopefully I'll be getting back to 1-2 times a week on this soon.

    Rolling for the random event, using the ring too. Are we still rolling for alchemy? I know our training is done but did we destroy our alchemy set or something?
    >> Quest Lord !!7ls3wo7NoED 02/01/10(Mon)03:58 No.7868874
    >>7868837
    For?

    Sorry, let me know what you're rolling for in the post, and let me know if you're using any optional modifiers (your ring of +1 luck at everything for example).

    d5 for extra event, d18 for training under Leold in tactics, and alchemy rules will be resposted in the next post.
    >> Alchemy Rules Repost Quest Lord !!7ls3wo7NoED 02/01/10(Mon)04:00 No.7868896
    ALCHEMY RULES

    These will take a week (-1 from your roll for the month, can stack) or a month for a slow test (+5 on the alchemy roll).

    You can experiment to increase your skill the hard way, or can do any alchemists tasks you learn. At the moment you know experimentation, and ash to lye. However you can't make commercial amounts of lye solo, and don't have the stuff to do it largescale.

    All of these are a roll to get under your alchemy skill (5) with the worst result always failing, until you're skill is double the skill needed.

    Simple expeirment (d8) (+.1 for pass)
    Hard Experiment (d12) (+.2 for pass)
    Ash to Lye (d6)
    You can do a dangerous experiment which will give a -1 (good) modifier to any passes, but a +1 (bad) modifier to fails. A result of max (nat x where x is the dice you're rolling on with -1 mod) will result an a serious faliure, and will likely HURT (d10+3 on crit fail table)
    Any critical faliures otherwise will roll a d5 on the alchemy critical fail chart, wanting low.

    Crit fail table
    1: Surprise result: The kit’s fucked, but you’ve got a result that’s unusually good, and have found something you’d never find out normally. +1 alchemy skill.
    2: Kit’s Fucked
    3-4: Kit’s fucked, and you take minor burns, take an extra week off.
    5: Kits fucked, you take serious acid burns, a month of dedicated healing from the healer, he’ll neglect the peasants in this time.
    6-8: The kit explodes, burning you as above, but also creates a small fire,
    12: Kits fucked, and you’re unable to do serious activity for a year
    13: Kit explodes, you die. Shit guys.

    You may encounter some trolls in the swamps, it's far enough in that it's a definite risk. What else you might find is unknown, the swamps aren't well mapped at all beyond their borders.

    3 got in first, so the omens are mildly good. You see a field mouse escape a cat in the village, and generally just feel good about the month to come.

    >>7869035
    Leold and Peter are the only ones who've been into the swamp before, on troll hunts. They haven't been as deep as the shrine is, but that's because they never had much reason to go deeper into the swamp.

    I'm fine with doing this. As they say, no guts no glory.

    As to what to build, how about a watch tower outside the town a ways. We know we have some strong enemies, and we've already been hit by bandits. It'd be nice to have something to keep look out for us.

    Leold advises you bring some of the soldiers. Your Manhunters would be handy to have around, and some extra men-at-arms would also be good. They might not be experienced at troll hunting, but they've proved their mettle in combat before, and extra soldiers are always helpful, particularly when you don't know what you're facing.

    >>7869155
    The keep has a small barracks they've been living in, it still has some room. It doesn't have an archery range or training grounds though.

    >>7869156
    Indeed, I was waiting for someone to figure that one out.

    +1 bonus with demi-deity: St. Tam. A young girl that floated down the river in a basket of reeds who was adopted by a priest of Artagus. Since civilisation at the time was far away, he took her wiht him, and raised her in the ways of Artagus.

    Later in life they returned to civilisation, and Tam entred the great hunt - a legendary hunting competition held by the king. The winner would become the king's personal hunting assistant, and the young prince's trainer. She was refused entry as a woman, so entered as a man, won the prize and also won the heart of a nobleman. Although refusing to marry him, she bore him a son before disappearing. Some months later the earl also disappeared, leaving the Westerlands to his brother. History does't record more then this, but many a priest of Artagus has claimed noble heritage from St. Tam and Lord Derrick.
    >> Quest Lord !!7ls3wo7NoED 02/01/10(Mon)04:44 No.7869349
    >>7869226
    Indeed.

    Local lore bonus: +2.
    The bridge is named after a local tale involving a small troll and three large goats. Every young person in the village knows the tale of the three gruff goats, and now you do too.

    Alright, it seems reasonable to take a few more men with us. First consult with Leold and Peter. Ask them how troll hunting has gone in the past. How many trolls usually seen, what tactics they've used, as well as any problems they have encountered in the past.


    And I still say we build a watch tower. My only other thought at the moment would to build the Manor House we were considering many months ago.

    I second both parts of this. I say the party should be Leold, Doobs, Shorty, Cohen, Clint, Aegon, the Manhunters and a couple of the Men-at-Arms and yeomen.
    >> Quest Lord !!7ls3wo7NoED 02/01/10(Mon)04:53 No.7869435
    >>7869368
    Leold tells you that they aren't tactical fighters, anything more then an ambush is usually beyond their capabilities. That said, they're deadly fighters, and they sneak around in the swamp with an ability that belies their size. The smaller ones are masters of ambush, you won't see them until they're on you, and the larger ones can sneak in close enough to bullrush you or throw a boulder at you. If you let the big ones surprise you, then you're in between a rock and a hard place.

    Peter says much the same things, but notes that fighting them in hand to hand is a matter of decapitating them or majorly incapacitating them, as they'll often fight on with only one arm, or with half their face full of crosbow bolts.

    The good news is that they only travel in groups of three to eight usually, occasionally as many as 12 are seen though. The bad news is, that in engagements this size, tactics are less of an issue, and there is few enough trolls that they can sneak up on you quite easily.

    You have 5 men at arms, all who have fought with trolls at least once in raids previously, and 7 yeomen, with some basic troll-fighting drills but no practical experiance.

    Right, manhunters and men-at-arms should be taken. Five of each is my suggestion, which would be all our men-at-arms and our two active manhunters plus three hunters.

    Also, for future reference, what are our men-at-arms and yeomen armed with?

    Men at arms have: Short-Swords, Crude Chainmail and Spears (steel heads). The spears are generally used in troll fighting, the short swords are a later resort.

    Yeomen have Spears (steel heads), and Leather scrap armour .

    Trolls need to be killed or crippled to make them stop fighting, but arrows will still slow them down. And the manhunters are also decent trackers and scouts as well, which you *will* need.

    As far as watch towers go, we have the option of upgrading the granary into one, but it would take a few months to do it and we are looking to repairing the keep soon, so that would cut into our workforce for it.

    Zeek has a number of salves made with alcohol and herbs for various wounds. He advises you not to drink them, as they are poisonous to ingest. The smallest bottle is a purple one, he advises you use this only on cuts which are very infected. It kills the infected flesh, and nearby flesh, effectively halting infection for a short time while help can be found. It's highly toxic, and the bottle, if ingested, could kill an ox. He also has a jar of maggots he has gathered that eat dead/diseased flesh, but leave living/healthy flesh alone. They are kept alive in a gell substance, and he tells you that once removed form the gel they will get to work. If left in the gel, they will survive for about a week.

    Half a dozen virmen, and a dozen men are in sight, the tents and shacks could hide another dozen people. There are four trolls in the trading party.

    The talk is in western, the trolls are attempting to buy baskets and pots of beer, in return for food and what appear to be small ivory tusks of some kind.

    While the presence of outlaws close to our holdings is worrisome, picking a fight with them is likely to be very dangerous - we might have the drop on them, but they outnumber us and have trolls with them.

    If the site looks like it's a temporary measure (just a meeting-place, rather than an established encampment) then avoid and move on. Just a trading meetup, not a direct threat to our holdings at this point.

    Something to tell Harry about when we get back, though.

    Leold wants to double back, and take the long way around. It'll add a long way to the trip, but will be safest.

    Doobs wants to try skirting the camp, staying far enough away that the swamprats don't smell, but close enough that it'll take half the time that Leold's plan will.

    Cohen thinks that you might be able to talk to them, and barter a way through. He bought food from outlaws on his way here, although some did try to rob him of his monies.

    Clint is with Leold. Shorty is with Doobs and Aegon's with Cohen, an even split. Who do you listen to?

    Our manhunters are wilderness-ninjas, but our men-at-arms and other companions are not so sneaky, so we should either make absolutely sure we're not noticed, or try a parley, setting up covering fire in case talks go sour.

    The complicating factor is the trolls.

    What's the general character of outlaws - bandits and robbers, or just people who live out of sight to avoid entanglements with the authorities? Given that we're the local lord of the land, that might predispose them to hostility.

    Who said bandits. Outlaws are just people who have abandoned the holdings and make their own living, hand to mouth. Young runaway couples, hunters, malcontents and occasionally bandits.

    It's not a crime as such, but they don't have any rights as such either. They're outside of the law, entirely, although if htey bother a local lord, the lord will just have them killed off, and no-one will bat an eye.

    Hmmm, I vote to attempt a parley but first, we have to be certain we know what we want. No point walking in there and just start improvising. How do we introduce ourselves? What do we want out of these people and not-people?

    Virmen generally keep to themselves. They have a reputation for being theives and sneaks, but stay away from human society at large. They can be found in the wilderness, sometimes in large groups, sometimes alone, or in pairs. They tend to trade with the fringes of society. That's about all you know.

    So we have a consensus? Check out the camp, walk in and talk nicely?

    Any goals in particular for this? What's your cover story? Mercenaries heading west?

    Aegon sugest the signal be him singing "Dance with Morr's Reapers" an old song about war popular with mercenaries. He can sing loudly, so that's not an issue.

    OK then. Parley, with manhunters covering and the men-at-arms ready to run in if things go badly. We'll take in Aegon, Leold, Clint and Cohen. The rest hang back with the fighters. Talk to them, trade news and maybe a few supplies if we have any to spare, and take it from there.

    You walk on in, hands raised. Calling out "Hello the camp." loudly, you approach the camp. The Swamprats tied to their posts start hissing and snaping, and one gives out a high pitched yelp.

    Quickly the Virmen and a few of the men rush on over, and negotiations stall as the camp watches your approach. "Permission to enter the camp?" you ask.

    Aegon quickly takes centre stage, piping up "Well, we would hardly bring them all in here. You'd hardly be happy with that."

    Nicely done.

    The ambush goes flawlessly, your manhunters opening fire from the trees opposite you, and as the troll drops the snake and looks out thatway you charge, Cohen taking the lead. He draws his sword and you realise just how huge it is as he swings it and it cuts deep into the trolls shoulder. Letting it go rather then try and draw the unweildy weapon, he grabs the troll by the face as it turs around, his clawed gauntlets drawing bubbling dark green troll blood from the wound. The trolls good arm grabs him and throws him aside, but Leold feints then dives at the brutes feet hamstringing and tripping the giant brute onto the ground. Doobs circles beside it and makes a neat cut in the side of the trolls flank as it falls, and then when the troll is on the floor, Leold quickly regains his feet and darts in with a coup de grace, beheading the troll where it stood. The whole thing was over in moments.

    A poutch with some large ivory tusks Cohen identifies as troll teeth, a dead rabbit and a shiny but worthless river stone.

    Leold and Cohen are already working on the head, after finishing the crude decapitation more thoroughly (some ligaments and bone was still holding it on, even if all the important parts were disconnected). Cutting out the teeth with a short knife Cohen picks the largest one and pockets it, splitting the remainder with Doobs and Leold. Then they get to work on the skull.

    Make sure the headhunters get some troll teeth for their part in the ambush. Credit where it's due, and all.

    They move close but before they can get amongst the camp, one of the men on watch raise the alarm, and it's battle stations. You quickly get to your feet, grab Wyvernsting and get into the fray. Stark is by your side, and you pick out the leader of the gang. It appears you've been attacked by Virmen, and the leader, an ugly bastard with a dozen swamprats on leashes sees you advancing towards him and lets his rats go. Stark leaps forwards biting the fastest ones head clean off. You nick the second with your sword, opening a messy cut down the creatures flank. The creature screams as you place a booted foot on its head and bash another leaping at you back with your shield. Stark rips into the exposed underbelly of one that you've knocked on it's back as you lunge forwards, your blade sliding deep into the leader with a gritty tearing noise, and then you pull back to relveal a massive, bloody wound. As the leader tries to put its organs back in, it passes out from blood loss. As this has happend the rest of your companions has fought their way and surrounded the remaining virmen, who have thrown their weapons down.

    At this stage it looks like you have no casualties, although one of your yeomen is bleeding heavily form his arm, and one of the men at arms has a gruesome scar down his cheek.

    What do oyu do now?

    You don't recognise them, and there's too many dead virmen to be all from that camp. What's more, these swamprats look larger and nastier then the ones there.

    They were just attacking you for your food they claim. The brood was starving, and had to be fed. But there's pleanty of food now, see? They'll leave you alone if you let them go. Or do whatever you like, you can keep the slaughtermeat if you like. There's less mouths to feed now anyhows.

    Get those wounds cleaned as best we're able - if we've got brandy or suchlike then use that to wash them out.

    They don't look to be infected yet, although the arm might be at risk, being a bite from a swamp rat.

    The face is at risk too, a swamp being a swamp, and open wounds being what they are. Lucky you brought some bandages and stuff from Zeek.

    You use the alchohol-herb wound clenser Zeek gave you, and bind both cuts closed with the bandages once you've cleaned them the best you can. It's all you can do for now, a second look in the morning before you march and then jsut keep an eye on them.

    Ask them about any buildings they know of in the swamp - ruins or whatever.

    Then take their weapons and tell them to fuck off. If we catch scent of them or their kin again we'll hunt them down and put the whole brood to the sword. Understood?

    Looks like we have consensus.

    Well, there is the us, all the broods. And then there is the outcast broods of tallmen, who hide and trade with us, and sometimes join our broods. And of course, the trolls, but you know about them. Thems all the peopletypes in this part of the lands. There is manyheaps goblins waaay off west, but that's longfar aways.

    Buildings? There is ruins, northwestwards of here, not far at all. And there is the old goblintown northdown from here. But that's all deserted now, and both are all huanted by old feys. Hunters and danger is in the ruins.

    Eh, instead of just letting them go, we should offer to let them join our village. The food will be easier to come by, so long as they work hard for it. This will increase our work force, and I am sure the virmen would not have a problem eating the refuse our villagers would cast aside. Plus, they seem capable as a fighting force. The less humans who have to die, the better!

    They could be of use for keeping an eye on the movements of trolls and outlaws in the swamps. It might be worth reaching an arrangement whereby they keeps us informed of swamp affairs, and we provide them with an allowance of food or suchlike.

    I don't think they'd really integrate with our villagers, but having them as allies/minions might be OK.

    "Muchthanks tallman. We go nomfeast now. Hope your workfight is manygood." With this they depart, carrying back the bodies of their wounded and dying comrades back to whence they came.

    The rest of the night is uneventful. The next morning you rise, and chekc the wounds of the soldiers under what daylight you can get in this swamp. The man-at-arm's face seems to be clean, but you add more woundcleanser to be sure. The arm bite however is getting interesting, it's all pussy and the nearby skin is a purple colour. You add a done of woundcleanser and move on.
