Yep, good posting guys. Bear in mind for the future that any npcs you come across and interact with will be under my control, so even though it might seem like a small thing for you to fill in an npcs reactions to your character, theres a chance I'll want to do something with them that might just surprise you and present some interesting rp opportunities for you all. I'm not going to edit anything that anyones posted at this time, so don't worry about changing anything you've done so far, just keep it in mind for the future. I'll take the next post. |

Ferrus - that last post re: Malvor, the parchment was the clerks passenger list and he was fishing for yourname to confirm you were heading to the right coach, not looking to hand you a random bit of parchment! |

Right Ferrus, make an easy (+20%) Int test and post your result here. I'll incorporate the result into my next post. |

Looking forward to it. Just to let you guys know, I have slightly re-organised the Approved Characters section - just to make things easier for when we start to get several Rps going at once. |

Saw it - seems sensible enough. ![]() By way of explanation, beyond being a bit busy (had my birthday yesterday) this last week, the other reason that post took me a while to get up was because I had to make a decision on what the young lady's identity was - I had two ideas/options, each of which would have led to a different story. Anyway, finally picked one, so the game rolls steadily onward.

Caldera - if you are about, its your turn to haggle the price of passage for Alexa and her buddy. If I don't see a reply from Caldera in the next couple of days I'll post on his behalf to help keep things moving. |

Sorry guys, exam time at university these few weeks so I'll not post much. I will try to keep on it though so it doesn't get bogged down again. Next post is imminent. |

No problem mate - thanks for letting us know. Feel free to give me the nod to run Axel for you if needed, I'm happy to do that if you feel you'll be absent for a few days or something. |

There endeth the opening scene. I'll hopefully get the next post up later tonight, with the party well and truely on the road to Bogenhafen. Shang and Caldera, if you haven't done so already, please amend your wealth to reflect the fare Alexa is paying (one crown). The trip to Bogenhafen is scheduled to take approx 2.5 days, with stopovers in roadside inns along the way. My next post will bring us back in on the second day of the trip, with one stopover already made. In the interests of exploring your characters a little more, please take a minute or two to describe their activities at the inn here - did they eat a hearty meal, or spend frugally. Did they keep to themselves or organise an impromptu sing-along in front of the fire place? Did they stay up late, or retire early? Private room or common roon bunk? Nothing of particular note happens at the inn - there would be a few staff (barman/proprietor, serving wenches, potbot), a few travellers and coachmen, service was adequate as was the food and drink etc. Deduct the cost of your stay at the inn according to what services your character has enjoyed. (It's always easy to take the cheapest option, but staying true to your character may actually mean taking a more expensive option - I'll leave it to your own conscience as to what arrangements your characters make!) Assume your characters will have got to know each other a little by now (even if they aren't travelling on the same wagon together, they may have rubbed shoulders at the inn during the evening enough to make each others acquaintance). If anyone has a particular question they think their character would have asked of someone else, ask (and answer if its directed at another PC) it here. I'll answer questions pointed at PC's. Questions directed at PC's should be accompanied by a Gossip test (p.93 - roll against Fellowship; if you don't have the Gossip skill only use half your Fel value for the test) and info will be revealed according to how well you succeed. Lodging: common room (i.e. a cot in a room shared by other travellers) = 5p private room = 10s stabling (only applies to Axel) = 10p Dieter spent the evening shackled in the stables unless Alexa chose to pay to keep him nearby. Food and drink costs as per p.114 of the rulebook. Don't forget to check the rules on p.115 re: effects of alcohol if your character chooses to go a bit crazy. For the purposes of the story, this will determine whether your second days travel is spent hungover or not. ![]() All clear? Any questions, just ask. |

Quick question, i assume, "describe their activities at the inn here" means OOC? If so Alexa spent most of her time drinking, (and generally annoying as many people as possible at the bar) till she fell asleep in the common room and Dieterwas left tied up outside. |

Yep, OOC is correct. The next round of IIC posts will deal with the next day - this is just to describe the filler/downtime section. Don't forget to deduct the cost of her evenngs drinking from your character sheet (if you haven't done so already). When you say "annoying" people at the bar, what kind of annoyance does she present - bare in mind this kind of thing helps colour the other chraacters impressions of her and helps build the relationship in the group without us having to RP every conversation. |

Edited profile for travel cost, common room, a loaf of bread and 6 beers. 6 beers is 3 over my toughness so alcohol test results are: 26, 97, 87 = 2 failed Alexa being annoying = loud and trying to provoke people into a fight (Which didnt work). Edited by Shang, May 2 2010, 12:37 AM.

Character sheet edited for cart fare, stabling, cot, 3 ales, basic meal (stew, bread). Axel is pretty amiable so I'm assuming I talked to everyone in the party in the common room at some point and got to know at least the basics. Koeh might hold particular interest since elves would not frequent the area he lived in in Altdorf. Can you teach me some Elvish? Getting to know Alexa fairly well now since she's hitching a ride. Axel left around 9 for an hour to smoke and stargaze and check on the pony. |

Will adjust character sheet for monies when I get to a computer that can access my pdf's! Answering on the phone is not always the best! Koeh will pay for common room lodgings, a decent meal and a single glass of wine to accompany it. Axel's interest is quite welcome as many of the inns patrons avoid Koeh, although Eltharin is fairly complicated and the teaching of it to non Elvish folk is slightly frowned upon, Koeh attempts to teach Axel at least a few choice swears, after all, no other Elves are conspicuously present. During this he pays for 1 of Axel's ales. Koeh also comments on the activities of Axel's travelling companion, Alexa. Koeh attempts conversation with with the barkeep, asking if any others of his kind have been seen in the area recently (Fel. roll, 22), and the young lady, asking if she would know where in Bogenhafen would be best to start his enquiries, and if she would like a drink also (Fel. rolls 11, 5). Edited profile. 1 shilling and 20 pennies spent. (Will adjust again if another drink needs to be bought!) Edited by Fluentcode, May 3 2010, 03:21 PM.
