Char Sheet : Next Post

You are a wolf, and you are being hunted, but you are also hunting. The human, Hasdrubal the Tracker, has chased you from your territory and through another. He beset you and your new pack with hounds and arrows, slaying one of the weaker wolves. You killed his dogs but could not harm him. Because of the hardship you brought, you were chased from your new pack and left to die so that they could escape and recover.

You fled down the mountains, chasing prey and fleeing from Hasdrubal. It was at the joining of several streams where you found the first human who hasn’t tried to kill you, an old man who smells of goats. Hasdrubal ran him through with his human claw.

Now a fierce and ice ridden wind is blowing at your back, and Hasdrubal has been blinded.

Rolled 1, 5 + 4 = 10

You have chosen to Fight

Please roll

For those of you new to Wolf Quest, the dice mechanics are very simple. There are two types of checks right now, Fight, and Flight. To do either of them, you roll a pool of 3 1d20, each in their own post so everyone gets to contribute, and take the highest but crits trump. Then you add the associated modifier, which you can find in the character sheet I posted

Fight : 6
Flight : 5

Furthermore, natural 1's mean an automatic failure, and natural 20's ignore legend rules

Don't forget about Sword Dancer (Whitefang) | Before your roll, you may accumulate a hunger to automatically avoid damage from a blade

And then the Exertion ability, you can accumulate 1 hunger to roll some more dice and hope for a crit, but there are diminishing returns as you get hungrier and hungrier

I have a good feeling about this.

You growl and let the bloodlust build in you as you prowl around the stones to face the human. On his back is his bow and spear, in his hand the human claw. It’s a weapon you know well how to avoid, ever since your fight on the cliffs, where Treebark died.

The storming winds are blinding him, keeping shards of ice high in the air and avoiding you. To protect his eyes, he’s forced to fight with one hand shielding them. He won’t be able to draw his spear like this, giving you the advantage.

You approach from the opposite side as the man who smells of goats and lunge in. Hasdrubal slashes down at you, but you dance around it with ease.

Hunger : 1/5

Your fangs easily find his calf, but when you bite you can’t pierce through the thick skins guarding him. You switch your footing and pull, tripping him off balance. You get a quick bite in on his thigh as he stumbles forward, but another swipe from the human claw drives you back.

The wind continues in full strength, and his attention switches from you to the stones.

We're going to have to run this guy down. We need to remove his tactical advantages, starting with his spear and bow.

>>29344826
It's going to be interesting if he fends us off to the point where we have to retreat and he has to give up for now.

...Is it possible for a human to have a legend Spark? If so I can imagine him gaining something like "Eternal Rival" with us.

Please remember to take your rolls off when they're not needed. If any roll is made after Rom asks for one, he'll consider that as forfeiting our right to use sword dance.

Hasdrubal turns from you and marches over to the stones standing in the snow. With his attention elsewhere, he exposes his back. Strapped to his back and covered in leather is the spear, you can see the stone tip of it sticking out of the top. You jump on his back and grab the leather case. You growl and pull at it, but the leather is strong.

Hasdrubal shouts and swings at you, but can’t bring his claw to use while you’re atop his back. At last, the leather snaps. You tumble off his back, rolling through the snow end over end with the spear in your mouth.

When you right yourself, Hasdrubal kicks over one of the smaller stones, knocking it away with ease. The man who smells of goats shouts out, trying to struggle back to his feet. The wound Hasdrubal gave him was dire and he is bleeding heavily, but still tries to face the tracker.

You start gnawing at the leather case, trying to break through it to snap the spear. Surprisingly, Hasdrubal ignores you. Instead, he digs his feet into the snow and plants his shoulder against the largest stone. When the man who smells of goats approaches, he stops for a moment to lash out with his human claw, knocking the old man’s branch away.

The storm has lessened.

Don’t let him do that.

You toss the spear aside. The power that is helping you is clearly in trouble, and you can’t take Hasdrubal on your own. You dash past the man who smells of goats and do the only thing you know. You pounce on him.

Your weight slams into him, knocking him against the stone. The ice cracks, then crumbles. The stone, Hasdrubal, and you all fall over. The immense weight of the stone is even enough to break through the snow and ice to the frozen stream it had been in front of.

The wind stops.

Hasdrubal smiles.

The man who smells of goats cries out in anguish and begins sobbing.

We have to maul him, also from last thread Romulus said he has like x5 more intelligence than us, he can just strap his knife to long branch and make new spear. Better maul his hands/face now, we won't have better chance.

His spear is meters away anyway.

You start biting anything you can get your mouth around. His arms are covered in leathers and cold stone that rips away at the flesh in your mouth when it touches, but eventually you get a mouthful of his forearm. He had been trying to push you away and evade your mouth with a flurry of swipes and twisting around. But now you have his arm, and you’ve pushed him back to the point that his head is in the water.

You squeeze, trying to break through his protection. Your fangs aren’t quite sharp enough to cut through it, but you can feel his bones creaking. You drool just a bit at the thought of Hasdrubal’s blood.

But you were too focused on attacking, and not on defending yourself.

Hasdrubal jams his small claw into the wound on your shoulder.

Health : 3

>>
>>29345842

Man, it was said before: we can't use legends/perks against 20s. That's how big forest gangsta Treebark died - he was offed by 20s. He became less of a fearsome legend and more of a old bear as a fight progressed.
>>
>>29345868
He was offed by rolling 1s.

And what would happen if the enemy rolled 19? Do you think that we WOULDN'T use sword dancer if we had 1/5 hunger?

>>29345868
Irrelevant as >>29345879 pointed. My point stands.

Let me be clear on a few things

First, Sword Dancer is from a legend, natural 20's ignore it

To all people bitching - stop. Random 20s and 1s and going with it are what makes this quest so fun. Just deal with it and move on.

I think OP is using d20 on purpose for high crit rate.

Doesn't matter man, it is the choice of dying and letting the quest finish or waiting few minutes to get better chance at survival.
I think most will take the latter option.

You ignore the pain as best you can and try to crush his arm, but this protection proves too great. When he pulls the dagger out, you’re forced to jump away lest he stab you again. A large amount of flesh seems to have been ripped apart in your mouth and you’re bleeding, but that is the last of your worries.

Hasdrubal quickly jumps to his feet, snatching up his human claw again. He glances at the spear on the far side of the clearing. The man who smells of goats as slid away from the fight, tears freezing on his face.

I think what I'm going to do is change it so that crits don't trump, just that their presence turns off legends. 20s would still be chosen of course

So for example, he just critted his defense, which turned off Fearsome (+3 Fight)

Writing
>>
>>29346316

Oh shit you are right. Though I think his crit will prevent him from taking damage/tripping, though it will still stop him from going for spear.
>>
Hasdrubal takes off, going for the spear. He takes the long way around the stones rather than going through the opening in them, forcing you to chase after him. With him running away from you, he is just like a prey. You know how to take down prey.

But when you snap your teeth forward, you fall short and he finds himself several feet farther ahead of you. He dives, snatches up the spear and rolls through the snow to come to his feet facing you. You snarl as he puts the deadly weapon between you and him.

But behind you the man who smells of goats seems to be righting the small stone that had been knocked over, and has part of Hasdrubal’s attention.

Protect him.

Circle around as best we can and protect Goat Man.

I don't think you know what this means.

>>29346499

then that means we can't flank him if he goes for the goat man.
Better keep him between us and the goat man
>>
>>29346535

Uhh... maybe?

What does it mean then?
>>
So let me get this straight, your plan is to provoke him into attacking you to buy the old man time?
>>
>>29346579

Yes, but maybe because it would be normally our round to attack, use Sword Dancer to give us bonus for countering that attack.
>>
>>29346605
Sword Dancer doesn't work against spears
>>
>>29346605
Sword dancer only works on swords incase you didn't know.

>>29346579

N-no, we don't.
Just wait for hi to attack the goat man.

>>29346605
don't think it works with spears
>>
>>29346579
No.
>>
>>29346579
Protect the old man!
>>
>>29346579

No, I think the best course of action is stay out of reach from the spear and the second he turns his attention to the goat man, THEN we attack.

We can probably give the goat man some time by prowling around and feinting a few times though, what do you guys think?
>>
>>29346648
Yeah
>>
>>29346579
>>29346616

Ok, I still vote to buy time for an old man.
>>
>>29346579
But keep out of his range. Basically put him between us and the man so he cant attack the man cause we are at his back but keep away from the spear so he cannot attack us.
>>
>>29346648
this
>>
>>29346648

Yeah, this
>>
What the fuck do you think your plan is if he just soaks the damage from us and murders goat man?
>>
>>29346648
to be honest I don't think the old man will succeed.

>>29346704
we flee

Well, I'm hoping that if the Goat Man puts up another stone, the blizzard will get stronger and that will give us better odds against the Hunter.

You snarl and snap your fangs at him as you dance just on the edge of his reach, trying to provoke him. But his attention is on the man who smells of goats. You edge around so that you’ll be able to attack his back if he were to go after the human.

You growl as he starts backing away from you, and towards the human. You can’t get close to him though because he keeps the spear pointed at you.

The wind picks up dramatically as you see the old man clench his hands together. The storm returns anew as Hasdrubal spins around. But the old man had closed his eyes, and couldn’t react in time. You pounce as Hasdrubal lunges, but are too late. The tip of the spear rips through the man’s heart before you’re even off the ground, and when you do reach him, he merely twists and bucks you off.

The wind dies with the old man. But Hasdrubal is clenching his eyes and cries blood.

Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him.

You can't use Spears when the foe is within the strike range.

Or can you? I'm not sure.

>>29347639
He's operating on a higher level of bullshit

The ice has partially blinded him, spilling blood into his vision and down his face. This won’t go away for some time. You press your advantage. Hasdrubal swears as you evade the tip of his spear and bite back down on his thigh. You tear him to the ground as he shouts, and shed his blood anew.

Then he looks at you with his blinded eyes. He pulls the spear back, over your head. You release him just as he stabs down, slicing open your chest.

Health : 2

Hasdrubal slowly pulls himself back to his feet as you snarl and back away.

You turn and run. You pick a random direction to the woods and take it, leaving behind Hasdrubal and the dead human, leaving behind whatever power was in those stones. You run along the thin game trails left by prey and flee. By the time night falls, you pick a spot and collapse, exhausted and wounded.

Romulus has been rolling in front of us the whole time, so I'm not sure why you think the difficulty is imaginary. We just got boned hard by the dice today until the very end, where we escaped from the Hunter.

You are a 2 intelligence wolf

You are not privy to the world. You see what does happen, not what could have or would have.

The fact of the matter is, you made bad decisions and assumed your enemy would be stupid. The entire fight was spent with Hasdrubal fending you off while dealing with Seraph, but you assumed it was the other way.

You had the chance to flee with ease. You chose to fight.
You had the chance to snap his spear. You chose to try, and fail, to protect the shrine.
You had the chance to disarm him. You chose to maul him.
You saw the modifiers he was getting, you know the modifiers you get. You knew the odds.

Fleeing was never an option when we were one wolf, 1 shaman and 1 wind spirit versus only one human hunter

You are an absolute scumbag if you think that was our fault when you we DID take his spear and YOU railroaded us into just bumping the hunter into the rock because our attack failed.
>You had the chance to disarm him. You chose to maul him.
WE ATTACKED HIS FUCKING ARM AND IT HAD NO EFFECT

You are not hearing me. I've been voting to run till yesterday because he is a strong opponent but lets look at two legit complaints:
-strategy has no effect. everything just depends on a roll. we could decide to howl to scare him to death and it would have the same chance as a legitimate fighting strategy.
-The man was practically blind but could still fight on even footing with whitefang. No matter how good a fighter you are, a human who cant see is practically useless.
>>
>>29348333
Don't bother with any trolls.

Choices were made, dice were rolled, and things happened. Time to see where we go from here.

there's no point in arguing op. Let's move on. We survived and that is all that matters.
I don't agree with the dice but it want your fault we couldn't get a break. At least you didn't have him do full 4 damage with the last spear attack.
>>
>>29348384

Are you retarded? He was blinded at the last fight. He didn't magically heal between.

That is our complaint.
Not the difficulty after all I am a Dark Souls fan.

It doesn't matter how what we do all that matter is the dice.

You should watch the morale of the characters and what weapons they switch to. Strategy has an effect

[citation needed]

>>29348464
>guaranteed chance to break his spear

Both disarm him of his spear, one let him destroy the shrine, the other gave us a chance of hurting him while disarming him

>>
>>29348527
>You should watch the morale of the characters and what weapons they switch to. Strategy has an effect

Not here it didn't. The hunter always rolled against us with the exact same rolls every time.
>>
>>29348527
>or try to break his arm
We tried to break his arm the dice gods said no.
>>
>>29348560
You're fucking blind then

He has +8 on the spear, +5 on the bow, and +4 on the sword and dagger, and they all do different amounts of damage. When we were pinning him, he switched to the dagger, when we broke away, he got the spear. When we're far away, he uses the bow. When he's not fighting us, he uses the sword

The spear was clearly the biggest fucking threat, and you fucks voted to try to protect the shrine rather than breaking the god damned thing.

If he's forced back to the sword at a measly +4, we have the advantage spirit or not. ESPECIALLY when you factor in Sword Dancer

You fucks want strategy? PLAY TO YOUR FUCKING POWERS

The blindness did affect him
-2 to all rolls.

Not much but it did still affect him. Also he had one good eye

>Both disarm him of his spear, one let him destroy the shrine, the other gave us a chance of hurting him while disarming him

Let me spell it out what happened:
Snowstorm happened, hunter can only use 1 hand/sword.
We take his bow and spear while the shaman was bleeding on the ground.
Hunter doesn't make attempt to get his weapons back and rushed to the stones and starts breaking them up. Its a choice between TRYING to break the spear or risking the snowstorm being stopped.
We attack the hunter, double ones are rolled and the QM says that not only we didn't stopped him but we aided him into completely destroying the stones.
We are both on the ground here, we make and attempt to rush him and injure his arm to stop him from using the spear.
It fails because of rolls.
The shaman starts arranging the stones, we try to protect him.
It fails because of rolls.

You see where I'm going with this?

>>
>>29348714
Exactly.

>>29348728
>>29348733
You are both right and wrong. The problem here is that Romulus essentially rolls for the DC that we must beat instead of just setting it on a flexible stage like every other good quest in /tg/ does.

He rolls so that the outcome isn't blamed on him. If a QM has something bad happen to the players and they don't get to roll they call him an asshole and the quest unfair. This is a quest where we will get shit on constantly, bad things will always be happening to us, so he makes it biased but impartial

>>29348799
Rom is gone bro. He ain't going to continue in this shit.

>>29348714
When have we ever rolled against an object? Did we have to roll to eat? To find our way? To hear the wolf howls?

We only roll when we're opposed

Breaking the spear when we took it would have been garunteed, but it would have taken enough time that he would have broken the shrine.

>>29348694
Snowstorm blinds him
we take his spear as he starts attacking the shrine
we abandon the spear because hes attacking the shrine
we attack him because hes attacking the shrine and fail horribly
we try to break his arm but fail horribly
we try to attack him instead of going back for the spear to break it
we pretend that we're a bigger threat than the thing he OBVIOUSLY cares more about
we get surprised he ignores us to attack the shrine again

yes we had bad rolls, but you people are fucking retarded
>>
>>29348815
I'm sure op learned some lessons today.
Maybe not. I don't care.
Let's continue.

We got exceptionally shitty luck today. If it went exact opposite we wouldn't be whining how easy Hunter was to kill despite our shitty suggestions

I don't think it is so. If it was, then it should have been stated cause i for one assumed we would roll since we are rolling for everything.

>implying they're not accurate
>>
>>29349162
As an impartial third party who has just finished reading through the archives:

Actually, alot of their points are accurate. Strategy is largely marginalized in this quest. When decisions are made, they have no real impact on how well things seem to go, they are merely deciding what action you make the exact same roll for. It gives a faux sense of difficulty because player agency is largely absent, its just deciding what text romulus writes to describe what happens next (instead of deciding WHAT ACTUALLY happens next).

I don't think, however, that romulus did it on purpose. It was probably just a bad choice for mechanics. But it's still causing the previously mentioned problems, which WILL kill his quest if it hasn't already
>>
>>29349277
Thank you doctor for diagnosing the problem.
>>
>>29349277
The other issue as I see it is the nature of combat. It's incredibly dice heavy for a system that only uses a d20, which causes a huge number of crits both high and low. Usually, critical failures end up being way worse for players than critical successes are beneficial (This is just the way critfails/successes work, its one characters stacking critfails vs the world), and all it takes is one sad string of rolling 12 dice per encounter to fuck them sideways.

Damn, i at least wanted my closure. Well, i'll just ignore that last update and imagine we died fighting the hunter.

But we escaped and the hunter is slowly bleeding out, why would you prefer dying?

Isn't >>29347721 explanatory enough?

Rom can you start a new thread, continuing where we left off?

This one has been trashed and will not recover.
>>
>>29349999
i'll second this. Things didn't go well for us, it may be poor choices, or poor luck, but that's how it went. If people are unhappy with the system, then that's an issue outside of what happened in the last fight. either way, i would hope that this great quest doesn't end like this
>>
>>29349999
Nice quads.

Anyway, the quest is meant to be hardcore, and people have made some pretty stupid decisions and made even worse rolls, not everything goes the way you think it will. This is mary sue guard harem quest. It does seem a little rail roady at times, but I think that's because Rom is writing things from a 2 int wolf there are only so many things he could do. I really hope people haven't ruined one of the more interesting quests, but I think they might have
>>
>>29349999
>>29350081

agree
lets continue

Yeah the system is not great and not fair but we were warned from the start how hard t was going to be.
If people don't like it, it is their problem. Maybe Rom will change a few things but no need to be so hostile and antagonizing.
>>
>>29350203
>hardcore

Again, faux difficulty. Don't use hardcore like a buzzword.
