Do you need one for the Scatha Expedition? I haven't done a 2nd character yet and can whip one up post-haste!

Mister Kent

She could join a trek to encounter ogres, cyclops, centaurs , dryads and hybrid creating Morlock.

What could go wrong?

See 'Blackjack' Amistad at the logging yard in Frog Ford forum. Expedition will leave in a couple of days.

Finger's expedition to the tomb of the ghostly trial could use an MU. It's full of mystery and ancient history--what more could an MU want? ;)

The expeditions are all departing - please pick which one the magic user wants to go on and post there. :) I'll add you in; you've got a lot of invites, but need to roll with one.

Building the mage tower would all depend on our victory against Scatha. Where to put it My choice would be over the demonic pocket to protect the area.

I am fine with you discussing here, or you can move it to the Planning Discussions thread. The only restriction is that there's no room for a proper tower in Gaul (and proximity to the rural Gwanwen-worshiping farmers is potentially a risk) - you need to build in a different locale (or make one somewhere else on the map and I'll add a locale for you). Building the structure is standard rules. Then, the rules of membership and how knowledge is shared is up to you to invent. You can recruit Vassals using standard rules - they will be randomized lower-level-than-you mages who come to run the place from the Southlands at your invitation.

Where to put it?
* Earc and Pierpont are already in Frogmorton, and Frogmorton is patrolled by the Archduke. This will solidify the place as the "wizard's triangle" with three towers of mystical power there, and create superstition among the locals with negative repercussions for all of three.
* The kobold tower is currently free for the taking and gives your order its own privacy, being removed beyond the superstitious locals. A road will be added for efficient travel through Beith's Watch to your location: securing the place (and the road there) from predators will be a shared concern between your tower, the Witchwood, and Beith's Watch.
* With the demonic pocket discovered under the old goblin caves, the Archduke would value a closer eye upon it, kept by competent wizards. He'll help fund construction of a new tower if you put it there to seal that entrance. Of course, building your wizard tower on a site of demonic power and making access to it exclusive to your order does have ramifications on your reputation as well. (the good news: non-supernatural-evil threats are well-handled by the guardsmen who patrol this hex, too.)
* Build your own tower anywhere you want. A hill above I'did'dum. Take over the existing wizarding laboratories at Guhra's tower. Hide it deep in the forest. Pick your spot, secure it, keep away from prying eyes. You get your own locale this way, too, and will have enough room to each establish your own private buildings/homes in the complex.

Winnie and Bianca would like to explore the 3-4 forest hexes Northeast of Beith's Watch. The tentative plan is to start by going due north from the kobold tower, then southeast toward the road, then south back to Gaul. (Unless those hexes have been explored already, but I don't think so.)

Anyone interested in some recon? So far we have a 3rd level witch and a 3rd level elf. We can hire NPCs if needed.

Hi everyone. Glad to be aboard! Show me the goblins.
I've not thought about a class yet. Not played an elf before so maybe it's about time. Open to suggestions..

The goblin group has one MU, one NPC cleric, three dwarves, a hobbit, and a fighter. Just about anything other than another fighter would be helpful.

Ok. I've decided to go with a cleric of Gwanwen. Will start on the character tomorrow (it's bedtime).
Looking forward to some goblin bashing..

Lunna is having some browser trouble - she'll hopefully be ready to set-out this weekend. Good?
