Favrick, the Half-a-dwarf "The hall of the Mountain King has a hundred and twenty pillars, all cut from the living rock. Every tenth is gilded and encrusted with the finest gems and crystals. The predestined events of Fate are as unavoidable and magnificent as these twelve mighty columns."...

Whitfield, Human Ranger Whit sits at the fire, his cup now empty, with his mouth agape as he tries to comprehend Favrick's philosophical ramblings. Stammering, he begins, "If Smaug is but a tool of Fate, what made him so? Is Fate something that just is or is Fate the will of some higher power?...

Happy Holidays everyone! Sorry for my unresponsiveness - I've been without computer access for the last week or so. In any case I'm home and ready to dive back in. What I'd like to know: Are you having fun? Are the rules making sense? Do you need more/less rules guidance moving forward? (I'm providi...

Though Whit is relieved that Marsden has been driven away, he is not happy that the dwarves have chased away the rest of the Dalefolk as well. "You had to run off the women and children as well, did you?" Whit seethes under his breath. "Real big of ye. Start this big row over a couple...

Whit has Spear B3 and Sword B2, so not much better, I'm afraid. However, my Spear may give us +1D advantage because it has a long reach, no? Whit is torn. With every fiber of his being he wants to hide and wait for danger to pass but with the crowd closing in all around he has nowhere to go. The dw...

Marullus:

Sorry I haven't replied! I thought I was waiting for you to approve my use of Fear-of-Mirkwood-wise. So instead of that nonsense with the stew (the rabbit is still by the fire Niping!), I'll try to scare these folks with tall tales: Whit is shocked to see Marsden. After leaving the military he had ...

Marullus: The simplest answer would be to use a -Wise. It wouldn't be cooking or stew, but is more within your character's capabilities. Could some folklore tale / superstition be invoked to get people to step away from the fight? Something about the region which could move them towards a non-violen...

Marullus: Good color. I need help with how you want it to go mechanically. You're effectively giving a +1D helping die to Durgar, for which you'll get credit for an Ob 6 test on the relevant skill. The helping die has to be for a skill you possess which you're using in the situation. What skill or w...

Whitfield, human scout Whit is shocked to see Marsden. After leaving the military he had hoped never to cross paths with the man again. He is stubborn, cruel, and predictably violent when things do not go his way. Though Whit happens to agree with Marsden in this instance, he doesn't want the camp ...

Rule highlight: Good example of using a trait to your detriment, though! Calling on your "Loner" trait to hamper your interactions (as you did) could be cause to award a Fate point. You're backing off the consequences of it now (which is not worth a Fate point, but is understandable as th...

Whitfield Newell Whit snorts as the dwarves head towards the marketplace. Dwarven hospitality! I suppose I should thank them for razing my home to the ground and welcoming me into the light of their fire. Despite his smoldering anger, Whit feels embarrassed, however slightly, for reacting as he did...

I'm going to be using "quotes" for spoken dialogue and *asterisks* for internal dialogue. Whit looks around the fire at all the dwarves hungrily eyeing his dinner before softly asking, "When did my rabbit become our rabbit? Have we met?" Regarding the small group expectantly, Wh...

Whitfield Newell, Human Scout "We're here. You're safe now," Whitfield says to the group in a meek voice. A smattering of humans and dwarves, faces ashen, emerge from the brush behind him and enter the clearing. Many are crying, more are visibly shaken, and some only stare into the distan...

Haha! I didn't even notice that. I just figured Whit spends so much time in the wild he wouldn't pass up an opportunity to clean up. It's going to happen in someone's house while they're grieving or something and be suuuper awkward.
