Your presence is good, we can build from there. :) Some folks might balk at the hierarchy, they aren't used to PCs working for PCs. In this case, an NPC dwarf named Gurav hired my character (Jing Ji-ho) to put together a team. My character reports to Gurav, everyone else but Gurav's kin report to my...

Welcome Fighting Man!

Yup, it'll be fun!

Does Gurav think the layout of the rest of the watchforts is the same as ours?

Hemia carries 5 potions in lead crystal vials. One has been identified as a healing potion, we need to identify the rest.

Being a place for mages, alchemists, etc, to ask questions and work together. Darfilla is an Alchemist and now a full blown mage. She has the "Brew Potions" magical secret, and if I understand correctly, alchemists and mages can work together to craft things. Jing Ji-ho has suggested a wor...

Jing Ji-ho Stepping slightly to include Balin in the conversation, Ji-ho nodded to the others. "You're right, and in the din of things I had forgotten. Besides clearing the area around the fort, we need to prepare for winter here. I ask that alchemical experiments not be done in the fort, as t...

Point of order: Balin is an alchemist, so you have 2 in the company. You have 2 Clerics and 3 Mages in total as well. Hemia as a Healer can help out with alchemy though her focus is of course on medicines. Morwen and Cuivne can both assist on most technical matters as well. I'm not sure that JJh ha...

I will yet again note that any numbers I provide are subject to scarik 's review and correction. GreyWolfVT , IIUC, Bofur was in the last part of the dungeon with us but I'm not sure Balin and Dwalin were. If I'm incorrect, please let me know and we can recompute. Treasure and XP awards ./allocate_s...

Jing Ji-ho laughed, and then nodded. "No army outmarches its stomach! We have huntsmen to find game, your skills will be well needed." "Also, if you aren't going into town with the first group, I'll be clearning the area as much as possible. The old ogres might still be around, or ot...

Jing Ji-ho "I know nothing of alchemy or magic, so I will leave the two of you to it. Please do not experiment in the fort, the air does not circulate well. Assume that a small building will be eventually made for you close by. Find a nice spot now, if you like. I hope to begin work as soon as...

Rex, I need to coming hunting with you!! Growing up in the hills of Virginia, I froze my ass off sitting on the side of a ridge in November, and not seeing anything living all day. I much prefer stalking, and have taken several deer that way. Which hills, asks the guy who youthfully tromped around ...

Morwen After ensuring that both Macnav and Cuivne were alright, and willing, Morwen let it be known that she and hers were willing to stay. Finding a place slightly away from everyone else, in order to give them space from her if they like, Morwen took out a small notebook and spent some time writi...

Bofur would start drooling over the sight of these gems. :D To date the policy is "even shares", with no concern with how you get your share. I've asked scarik to check my math since it's been way off before. If I'm right, Bofur would have the cash to get the big 1,000p one as well as one...

Jing Ji-ho With a final thrust, just to make sure the beast is dead, Ji-ho sighed. He quickly withdrew his spear and ran through the now open doorway to help defeat the monster that fled, only to find its increasingly small crispy bits being hacked on by Morwen 's summoned creatures. "Interest...

Ji-ho, or Si-woo if Jh fails his poison save, will ask Gurav to inspect the jewellery and gems. For anything that is special to Gurav or his people, Jh would offer first right of purchase. While Gurav probably doesn't have that much on him right now, Jh would still hand whatever it was over. It's g...

Ji-ho save vs poison with +1 [_2d6+1]=(6+3)=9+1=10

Ji-ho has a +1 on saves from earlier saves.

Nice! I'm working on the shares code now, and will post it for your review first, scarik . The last time I posted before peer review, it was way wrong. :( Ji-ho, or Si-woo if Jh fails his poison save, will ask Gurav to inspect the jewellery and gems. For anything that is special to Gurav or his peop...

I tend to avoid multi-classes, and end up with a blended class with unique abilities. So a cleric for Jedi, with their special abilities as "spells" and the light sabres as high penetration weapons. On the concept of low tech troops, it depends on if you're using training levels and morale...

For rules, the plan is quite literally to play Chainmail and the D&D draft as-is, but swords will be laserswords, crossbows will be blasters, clerics will be Jedi, and we'll be riding gigantic ostriches and jetsticks on alien planets, Flash Gordon and John Carter style. This mechanic can play o...

melee attack [_3d6]=(4+3+6)=13 melee attack [_3d6]=(1+2+6)=9 scarik will correct me if I'm wrong, so don't take this as gospel. However, with Bofur 's 3 HD, if we take the first roll, that means you scored the hit (that final 6 in 4+3+6) that will kill one of the spiders! Don't forget that Balin (1...
