Here we go again...

Mum? Again? Awww man...

I'm nonplussed. Will do an IC later on.
If we've been played, I can't imagine what Snapper had to gain - he'll have given friendship for nothing. If he doesn't collect the seagrass, we're even; if he does and the eye's worthless, I'm up on the deal; and it looks like we're probably going to be on a hunter hunt anyway. Hmmm.

Not to mention that the eye's definitely magical - detected as such. Unless any Ravens fancy owning up to having cast Farsee on it privately before I did my Detect, anyway.

My Brain Hurts :)

Farsee? Not a Raven style of thing. There is always the possibility that the Priest fumbled his recognise ancient Newtling relic ;)

Those of you taking the blessing will find dealings with all river folk improve for the rest of the day.

You have the Water rune and Communication rune marked on your face.

This is so true I felt it needed repeating!

Worst case scenario, the thing is made of some valuable metal, iirc.

You guys have plenty of nomad stuff in your trade goods and personal belongings. You have also Yelmalion gear, morokanth gear, impala gear and  for that matter probably bits and bobs from all the nations big and small.

There are no traders selling nomad bits and bobs.
This message was last edited by the GM at 15:39, Wed 19 Nov 2014.

Farsee is pretty much just Condor, although someone else might have it, I dunno. I know both of us do.

And I knew the lens was magical when I picked it up way back at the Dwarf tomb, but I just picked it up because no-one else had, and tbh I'd forgotten about it!

Ok, Ohanzee has his back at the camp, but they don't have to do it straight away I guess?

Those of you who mentioned bringing some of their trade goods will have stuff with them. Ohanzee for example has 20lunars worth of trade goods with him, Tarnessh has 5 lunars worth. Within that can be something useful for dropping.

You have impala arrows,

Salen might have a Morokanth trinket on him too....

Some of you lot have seen a group who might make good patsies ;)

Recap

Kobal will bring: River Folk tunic, Yelmalion sandals, cloak, bone necklace (11L).  Broadsword (not his bastard sword) and bone knife.  Sack with semi precious stones (61L) and small gifts from the Shallow Waters clan (5L).  He will wear a silver necklace (106L) if it can be concealed by his tunic, otherwise he'll put it in his sack.

Haaro will come along but will stay at the longhouse outside Corflu.  Kobal will also leave his broadsword at the longhouse outside Corflu.

He won't be wearing any of his fetishes, not even the fly fetish.  He's hoping he can stay close to one of the others on the boat trip.

He'll take 3 gold, 10 silver and 10 copper.  After what Melock's taken, this should leave:


Henal will take 20l semi precious stones, 5l cooking herbs from his trade goods.

Weapons: bronze dagger, flint sword, flint javelin. River folk tunic, barefoot.

Magic - going to risk taking the iron ring with the knot tying matrix as that is the one thing that might be useful.

Leaving behind the Basmoli mace and shield, his bronze javelin, armour and wyvern hide shield.


Ohanzee: Hand axe (tucked away to bronze head doesn't show), bone dagger, River folk tunic, no shoes (he doen't normally wear any anyway), 20L trade goods


Tarnessh: He's definitely going to wear a tunic and his Basmol cloak. He's also going to wear some of those lace-up sandals that you see Romans wearing in history books and stuff. He's going to bring his sling, his butchering knife (cause I assume Nomads bring those everywhere) and his golden disk, but he'll keep that well out of sight in his pack.

He'll take 5 Lunars worth of trade goods, portable stuff that he can carry on his own back, of course. Stuff like stuff that he's looted in battle like bronze spearheads, skins that he's butchered, maybe some things found in the ruins that aren't of any practical use but look pretty?

7lunars



Hoskar
Gold 29
Silver 138
Copper 84


Melock; axe, dagger and sling. River folk tunic, boots.
if no one minds he will carry 3 gold, and 10 silver coins. sack with Taya in it.

Amara When she rose in the morning she let the riverfolk decide which of her clothes would help her hide better. She took the axe and a knife with her. Both were tools that doubled as weapons and her shield was all but useless as things stood. She'd need to rely on magic to get past any fights they were to get into. Not that fighting was the purpose of this.

Ah yes excellent :)

O got kind of swept by with arranging kit: the crisis was upon me at work. I imagine I'm un-armoured like everyone else, but would like to have gotten away with at least bringing a sling (possibly tucked under my clothes). What can I get away with here, O Mighty GM?

In reply to Hoskar Feather (msg # 14):

Couldn't you just buy a sling? I mean a sling is basically a length of leather or cloth that is wrapped a certain way, right?

No probs Hoskar.

Just remember everyone that none of you have ever met Lunars, except for Hoskar, who has lived in Pavis since the occupation.

So you have no experience first hand of dealing with them, and what little you know is hearsay and rumours.


You can buy spears, slings, darts, possibly self bows, daggers and likely javelins.

Before you head off, can folk make sure that they sort out with Sandy and Sa'ar what you want from them.

Do you want help from the Deep Channel family?

Help from the Shallow Water family?

The Newtlings?

They will need a promise that there will be no repercussions, pogroms etc before getting involved.

Amara has a timeline she must keep too if she plans to get healed and obviously the Priestess needs to be informed that she wants healing or not.

The priestess has offered some weapons. You can try and borrow others or buy some.

Some time in the next three days is when you'll need to  hit the Hunters as Amara can be healed on Fireday (3 days from now). Where will you hit them? You can scout their camp if you want.

It will take 2 days to get Sand Fox and Bamled, and for that matter any SW folk, here to Corflu.

It's now Midday, Waterday, Truth Week, Sea Season.

Everyone heading off to see the ship?

It has docked on the other side of the island on the busy wooden quay seen when you arrived this morning.

Ohanzee will go back the the priestess and seal the deal unless there are any suggestions otherwise in the next while.

At the moment I'm thnking we hit them on their island when they are all together, evening or morning but of course there are the scouts (bird) to report. Early morning I suggest so that none can escape into the darkness.

We need to know exactly how many there are to be sure of getting them all.

Ok, from last OOC thread



So Henal would want another flint javelin and a shield ideally. He can use a protection spell to help reduce damage in the fight and could cast it on a couple of others too.

Rolled a 1 for Tulox

09:05, Today: Tulox rolled 1 using 1d100.

Hey folks, particularly troublesome kids today (and two birthday parties looming this weekend) so not much energy for posting.

Whilst waiting feel free to post IC where you are off to

See the ship. Ohanzee has gone to see the Priestess, so folk can either wait for him or go without him.

Buy some weapons in the market, or at least see what they've got.

Anything else you can think of.

Can we have the Bing Bong song?

No.

:)

Will using anything like "bargain" or "oratory" give me any idea whether yonder Marine is excited or suspicious or angry, perchance?

No roll needed, see IC

I was tempted to go for the 'brit abroad' approach, talking loudly and slowly in Praxian, but decided that would attract too much attention :)

Melock! Turning to your brother Raven to rescue you from a situation again is one thing, but asking me to start stacking up favours owned to a Lunar Priestess to do so!

I won't move us on until others have chimed in. Perhaps folk wish to stop the Marines talking Melock away....

Ah, the debts of youth....

In reply to Ohanzee Shappa (msg # 30):

Just backing him up as to how he got them would be helpful. Though isn't Desi being held at the Trade Alliance House? So he might be able talk to him, if he's in the same cell. If he needs to get a message out, he can always relay it through Taya but that's as a last resort

Yes Desi is being held there.

Melock - I've had a go at getting the weapons, but I have a suspicion that that ship's sailed. Probably just got myself arrested alongside you.

In reply to Hoskar Feather (msg # 35):

Thank you for trying :)
I like the offer of a drink, they might be open to being bribed.

The old hands maybe... a young fresh faced officer out to make his mark. I see those favours stacking ever higher!

...but then, "fresh-faced" might mean young, idealistic, and keen on community relations because the Lunars want to make converts...and maybe not good at holding his liquor.

Anyway, who says I'm trying to bribe him? I might just be being pleasant and pacific: a sympathetic report of co-operative people goes down better than a report about surly oiks resisting arrest, after all.

Sorry, trying to find my motivation here...

Nope, I got nothing.

:)

Sorry, currently seeing the world through Tulox's eyes.

ROFL

I get the feeling, that other than Hoskar, there is suddenly a void behind Melock :)
probably for the best, don't want you lot getting nicked as well.

Usually there's a trail of destruction behind Melock!

ZING!

I'm here all week!

In reply to Salen Dustchaser (msg # 43):

I think Melock may be here for more than a week :)

Salt mines!

In reply to GM (msg # 45):

I was hoping for a Danfive Xaron slave galley, at least then he could travel :)

In reply to Melock (msg # 46):

Remember to dodge the little messages from seagulls :)

Tulox will take a little while to find the camp and scout. Do you want a real time report or wait until he's back?  It's going to be hard now as the Hunters are likely all back in the stockade.

I have you with the others at the dock unless you say otherwise.

@everyone: I have both my kids birthday parties, Sat and Sun, so posting will be spotty at best until Sunday evening.

In reply to GM (msg # 48):

No probs, had a 2 party weekend last week, hectic!

It's okay, I'm neck deep in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Good game! I'm not sure what I should do right now anyway, so I'm fine just following someone else for now and when the moment presents itself, I'll leap out to save the day, no doubt!
This message was last edited by the player at 04:50, Sat 22 Nov 2014.

Reaction to Melock being arrested perhaps? :)

Your twins' birthday?

Nope, friends from school. They all come in clusters, Isuppose because of the school intake or something. The boy's birthdays are 21st Oct and they had a halloween theme party this year. It was excellent,everyone dressed up and a great entertainer.

Sorry, have been busy this weekend, and will likely be busy with work for most of this week.  I hope to keep in touch with events, but posts may be brief.

Haven't forgotten you Tarnessh, crazy busy here. Amara speaks Trade Talk.

s'all good baby-baby.

Going out for a couple of drinks to watch the Arsenal-ManU game yesterday turned into a full session and a hangover today. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow!

Ohanzee and Kobal you can come across Henal and Tarnessh carrying luggage or arrive at the dock. You call.

I'll defer that to Ohanzee, since Kobal's waiting for Ohanzee's response to his IC post is.

Might not be leaving just yet :|

Was it his arm that Hoskar put the matrix on and does he have it on/visible now?

Yes...It's currently getting cut off, now the Lunars(gm) have been alerted to it....

Did the porters gaffer just try and stiff Henal and Tarnessh?

Always happy to throw a spanner, erm I mean to enhance the experience for my fellow players ;)

Of course :)

Under my clothes, folks. Thank you so much for flagging it up...mate.

I am glad that week is over....
give me a bit to catch up and then I'll start posting and uh.....I'm going away for thankgiving too, though I should be able to do limited posting at the parent in laws

No Problemo :D Bet you hadn't thought of it had you... ey, ey? Go on admit it ;)

In reply to Ohanzee Shappa (msg # 67):

I admit it. Thought of it when putting the armlet on ("make it somewhere easy to hide under a garment") but not since.

Salen and Amara, you are down on the docks, do you want to head back to town or investigate the ship?

Henal, joining Tarnessh or chasing the gaffer up for your cash?
This message was last edited by the GM at 19:00, Mon 24 Nov 2014.

Something I can do to see if this is a trap?

Not really. He doesn't look threatening. Tarnessh as a Sun Hawk doesn't feel or detect anything wrong.

The Liquid smells fruity and the flask is cold to the touch.

I think join Tarnessh - IC coming up, got a feeling its not going to work getting the cash.

Kobal casts Healing 2 on Ohanzee using Haaro's POW.
Does it work?  Sounds like this isn't just normal damage.

Does sound like an odd wound. In a way, one hopes for nothing "worse" than blade venom which is at lest healable. And I'm not there. Not that Hoskar one-arm (cheers!) would have much helpful equipment now anyway. Maybe. Is he kidding? Who knows.

D'oh!  Sorry, got Hoskar and Henal mixed up.  I hope Henal's got some powerful healing...?

If you are in need then call on the Wandering Rangers, we'll give you a hand.... no really give a hand!

In reply to Kobal (msg # 75):

Unfortunately not, only got healing 1

First Aid tick for Henal.



Yep works



Not able to do much hanging above a snake filled pit really...
This message was last edited by the GM at 10:17, Tue 25 Nov 2014.

Salen and Amara feel free to join the others if you want, they are outside the Trade Alliance House, or in the case of Melock and Hoskar inside getting tortured.

Never a dull moment...

can I just double check the day, its Godsday today?

It's about 2pm Waterday, Truth Week , fire Season.

Tomorrow night Clayday, you are planning on attacking the Black Eel hunters, framing the adventurers led by the Sable rider.

In three days on Fireday (SH's holy day) Amara will be healed.

In 5 days on Godsday Desi will be moved.

I have the rough outline of a plan for rescuing Desi, assuming we survive that long ;)

Rescue Desi?  Our brief is just to scout...  :)

Ah, but this plan involves us only on the planning and materials fascilitation, no actual taking part and for that we get most honoured status ;)

These damn Moonie worshipers... they get everywhere!

Henal and Tarnessh you both feel that the man can not have had time to furnish his rooms so quickly. It's only been 15 minutes since you deposited his gear at the house and when you went in the room was crude and had only a table and benches.

Okay Amara is with you all (bar Melock and Hoskar)at the Wizards house. Joining you all outside previously in the square.

Salen, unless you wish to stay down at the docks feel free to join the rest of the gang at the Wizards house.

Those of you not understanding Trade talk can take it as given that your fiends will translate.

There was a clue to where the Wizard wants to go in his last conversation.

Just a reminder that you don't have to go as far North as Pavis, just to the edge of Sun County or as near as possible if you have time.

Certainly never a dull moment...  :/

Coming next: A dull week sitting by the river

:)

IN A VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER?

Well at least Melock and Ohanzee at any rate...

You lot are free to do what you want. It's early afternoon. Plans?

You are alone in the Wizard's house.

Let me see... blue arm... lots of bottles of things about to try to colour it.... nope, no iddea ;)

Simple. We throw the greatest party that Corflu has ever seen. That'll show that crusty old dean!

 Melock and Hoskar are outside the door. Someone please answer them.

Hoskar and Melock the door isn't locked.

In reply to GM (msg # 97):

I know, but would you walk uninvited in to a wizards house? :)

Melock likely would....

In reply to GM (msg # 99):

Not in broad daylight with witnesses :)

Is the furniture and stuff just multiplying without the wizard being there? Are we going to have to leave eventually or be smothered to death by couches and sofas and upholstery?

The room is constantly changing but not in a way that you'll be overwhelmed, and yes it's happening without the wizard being present. One moment a there's a simple stool, next it's an ornate chair, an armchair....

It's highly likely that each of you is seeing different objects and types of furniture. None of you except for Hoskar will have seen anything but the most basic furniture, perhaps looted in raids. So tables and chairs are odd anyway.

Corflu
The market will continue for the rest of the day culminating in a ceremony with everyone taking to their boats and having a floating party/market.

Some weapons will be delivered at night.

Some of you mentioned buying weapons at the market. Hoskar is suited for this.

Let me know what you want to do and please hash out IC plans for the next few days

Tulox will report back shortly. Tarnessh as you rolled 1% for your hawk you can describe the camp. my only requirement is that it is on an island. As it was such a good roll you can make the terrain as advantageous to an attack as suits you lot. Draw a map if you want, doesnt have to be flash. It can be in a channel of the river, in a swampy bit or deep within many islands and mangroves your call.
This message was last edited by the GM at 07:24, Thu 27 Nov 2014.

I think everyone can head back to Shell's market stall and the tavern, using that as a base for now.

If no one has any real things to do I shall move us on to the next day.

If no one minds you can take part in this evening's festivities and I can give you some rumours etc, then collect the weapons being delivered via the Deezola priestess.

Then once Tarnessh comes up with what the Hunter's camp looks like we can go get that lot sorted.

OK by me.

Fine with pushing on.

Happy to be moved on (unless I bump into that officer down the market in which case I owe him a drink; but even that could be in a move-on without me objecting), but what's my shopping list on weapons, folks? I'm guessing clubs, spears, javelins, shields but don't want to disappoint anyone and am not up to date on who's carrying what.

Just had an idea about framing the other lot: I've got a spare Sable horn from ages back among my possessions. Two actually, but I've got something specific in mind for the other one. Can't imagine anyone would expect anyone other than a Sable to be carrying one of those around. Might "accidentally" drop it somewhere if the opportunity arises.

That's a good idea! The only issue with getting taken on as the guards later is that a bunch of us only know Praxian, btw.

The below speak Tradetalk
Amara
Kobal
Salen
Hoskar
Nixa

Likely some of the Sable rider's band don't either, I wouldn't worry too much. The guards are there to take nomad arrows and fight the hordes of Walktapi that will be just around the bend...

Great!

Hoskar will find.
Bone javelins 20L each
1H and 2H hand Bone short spears 10L each
clubs 2 Lunars each
Two bronze Hatchets 25L each
4 stone 1H light maces 10L each
5 small shields 10L each
3 medium shields 25L each
Slings 5 L each

The Deezola Priestess will hand over a javelin, a bone dagger and a 1H short spear for each of you. Three self bows and 50 arrows. Two wicker Medium shields. Two leather Hauberks SIZ 12-15 slightly torn and blood stained.


This message was last edited by the GM at 18:09, Thu 27 Nov 2014.

The Wizard might be a good person to trade odd magical items or perhaps inform you what they do if you don't know.

Sick as a dog today.  Off to bed. Will post on the morrow.

In reply to GM (msg # 115):

Hope you feel better after an early night :)

Much better!

Everyone please answer Hoskar re what extra weapons you might need. Who is taking the bows. Lets get all this sorted before the weekend is over.


The Hunters didn't go to their camp this evening instead staying for the festivities. You also see the Sable rider and his half dozen companions.

Black Eel camp


This message was last edited by the GM at 10:13, Fri 28 Nov 2014.

So where do you lot plan to hide in ambush?

You could of course try and hit them somewhere on the way, which would work too.

Weapons so far

Ohanzee own axe
medium shield
bow.
dagger

Kobal
Sword
Emesh-Ga helmet
javelin, a bone dagger and a 1H short spear
Medium shield(bought)
This message was last edited by the GM at 14:29, Fri 28 Nov 2014.

Javelin to throw at the start
Sword
Shield
Dagger

I guess?

In reply to GM (msg # 119):

Sling
Basmol cloak
Golden Disk

Javelin (own)
Short spear
Shield
Sword (own)
bronze dagger (own)

Hoskar will find.

The Deezola Priestess will hand over a javelin, a bone dagger and a 1H short spear for each of you. Three self bows and 50 arrows (Ohanzee has one and 20 arrows). Two wicker Medium shields (Ohanzee has one, as does Melock). Two leather Hauberks SIZ 12-15 slightly torn and blood stained.

We need to buy a shield for Melock and Salen

Just as a reminder
This message was last edited by the GM at 14:30, Fri 28 Nov 2014.

Sling
Dagger
Axe
Wicker shield

Oh hell - work crisis. Going to have to say "just have me buy what I can off the list" and scoot offline. I want a club of some sort, am assuming I smuggled my sling along, and am not sure where Emesh-Ga's shield is right now - fixing that was all part of the week I was missing - but if it's not with me I'll be best just having the club, I reckon (don't fancy going back to basic parry chance with a non-"weapon style" weapon since large shields aren't on the list.

Sorry, folks.

Oh and I'll wear my other armour too, of course. I'll have to find a place to change from the River-folk tunic and stuff out of sight. Maybe a nearby magic-phone booth shrine?

Okay folks we need a plan :)

There will be 15 Newtlings (armed with tridents, darts, small shields and nets) and 10 river folk (armed with tridents, nets, small shields, javelins and bows). None of these will take stupid risks.

The Newtlings can be placed anywhere in the river or on land. They can overturn canoes and help stop anyone getting away. They have reed boats.

The River folk can be placed on land or in their canoes. They'll prefer to fight with missile weapons, but will help in hand to hand if needed.

Are you attacking as soon as they get there, later that night or dawn?

Where are each of you going to hide/attack from?

Lets not hash over this for days.

In reply to GM (msg # 127):

I think the newtlings and river folk should hang back in the waterways and on the surrounding islands, while we wait until the middle of the night, so only some are awake, then attack from the trees. Any that try to get away by swimming for it, can be killed by the newtlings/river folk :)

The trees behind the camp on the small rise?

In reply to GM (msg # 129):

Yes :)
hoping there is enough cover to hide while waiting, if not we wait up stream somewhere and then, once the time is right, drift down stream with the flow, then attack.

There is plenty of scrub and the other side of the rise is hidden from the camp.
Hide and camouflage will be useful as well as silence spells.

How much light is there at midnight? Obviously we are within the influence of the moon, what phase is it?

In reply to Melock (msg # 130):

Sounds good to me. I'll hang back on the rise and buff and mess with the hunters and shoot rocks and generally be a nuisance!
This message was last edited by the player at 21:54, Sat 29 Nov 2014.

It's the dark of the moon, the night will be clear so there will be starlight. The Moon gives off little light here anyway. Gloranthan nights are very different from our own.

Here's a calendar with moon phases.
link to a message in this game

Hmmm... OK, so unless they have a roaring fire then after the initial volly of missile fire it's going to be difficult to pick out the right targets when they move away from the fire or are engaged by the Rangers?

Tarnessh, you might have to be casting your light spell to assist ongoing  missile fire

Perhaps I could do you one better and cast Ignite on their stuff?

You have to touch their stuff.

I'd allow you to try and manipulate your fire rune using your inner Sun Hawk spirit to try and control their campfires if you want.

Ohanzee will approach from the West side and then head to the North of the island behind the row of the rise for cover. Positioned about where the 3 pines are so that he can shoot down onto the whole camp area and they cannoot charge up.

If it becomes too dangerous to fire, e.g. cannot pickout targets or would be shooting into melee, then he'll head down and get in toe to toe, axe and shield.

He'll suggest that the newtlings not come ashore as their tracks will be too damn obvious!

Ohanzee didn't bring any armour and the sets supplied are too large, but that isn't going to stop him messing it in melee, I mean they are foreigners and soft river men at that!

First ranged using bow, then distuptions rather than shooting into melee.
Then Shimmer and melee.

Cool, and if htat doesn't work, I can use Lightwall.

Quiet weekend!

Okay I need to hear from some more folks. Bit worried that we're losing Salen and Amara here.

Club and sling. Unless I've had chance to pick up E-G's shield; when let's add that to the mix. Otherwise, I'll just have to parry with the club in the absence of a large shield to go with my combat style.
No-one seems to have taken position on the islet to the northeast (top right of the map) yet, so bunging me there seems apt - don't want them cheesing it in that direction.
Speedart on the missile fire, then countermagic and at 'em wading (or being ferried if boats available) through the 1m area, methinks. Although I'll not be charging in on my own.

PS: apologies about Friday: when you work in welfare, crises have a habit of cropping up at unexpected moments.
This message was last edited by the player at 09:13, Mon 01 Dec 2014.

Henal will go with the group on the west side of the island the camp is on with his javelins and then will go into melee.

Remember that there are less adventurers than you lot. 6 in all including the Sable rider.

Unless i hear from Amara i will put her with Hoskar. She has magic for throwing javelins far.

I will put Salen and Kobal on the West side.
This message was last edited by the GM at 09:49, Mon 01 Dec 2014.

Anyone bringing their familiars? If leaving them behind you can still use their POW as they are only a km away.

In reply to GM (msg # 145):

I'll be staying behind, I know when I'm not wanted.

Soft sound of wailing violins....

I'm staying with Taya, thank you. What with the whole cats and water 'thing' and not wanting to be arrow fodder, it's probably best.

I'll go with what has been decided.

Sorry, I ended up spending most of Thanksgiving visiting relatives.

Ah had forgotten it was Thanksgiving. Hope you had a nice one.

Thank goodness for that, it wouldn't be the same without Amara's calming ways. ;)

In reply to Four Paws (msg # 148):

If the other familiars stay we'll have enough for a card game :)

Tulox is no good at night.

We will have at least 4 familiars left behind won't we. Just need to make sure Taya doesn't eat any

In reply to Rikki (msg # 154):

Well Four Paws is safe :)
Just bring snacks and you should be fine

Okay, I will move us there tomorrow lunch my time, which should give Amara and Salen time to chime in.

Red you lot
Pink bad guys
Aqua Newtlings
Light Green Deep Channel mob
Black lines = canoes

Someone needs to start the attack....

Anyone applying 5 pt Blade venom to arrows/javelins?

Ohanzee will use blade venom if offered, but will not ask for it as he found none of the parasitic plant during the ceremony.

No venom for me (no suitable weapon to use it on). Think Sandy and I probably need to prioritise that sentry on our island: looks like he has the clearest escape route if he tries to flee.
No good at animal noises - will await signal; spells as previously discussed (Sandy's also welcome to touch E-G's shield or have a dose of my Speedart or even my Bladesharp 1 if he;s got an edged weapon if he wants to have them as a boost) .

I need Tarnessh and Melock's plan for their spells. Then we are good to go.

In reply to GM (msg # 160):

Sorry :)
He will cast darkwall in between the main group and the lone watchman, when the signal is given. Once the lone watchman is dead, listen for his screams to stop :) Melock will move the wall towards the main camp and change its shape in to people like shapes coming out of the water, just to add to the confusion.
if anyone runs up towards him, he will stop moving the darkwall, cast protect 1 and if he has time bladesharp 1 on his axe and attack them

if anyone goes down and he's nearest he will heal them or if they need more than he can do, he will use vigor first

and he'll cast speed dart on his sling
This message was last edited by the player at 13:21, Tue 02 Dec 2014.

Henal will cast protection on himself and then after throwing his javelins as part of the missile fire will look at Bladesharp on his spear if there are any hunters still standing.

Cool

You can move the wall at 3m a melee round doing nothing else, so this will all take a few rounds manipulating. Some Newtlings will use this to get close.

A light wall at the top of the rise would prevent any of those below seeing you and would light up much of the camp. Those above could see down.

Any night vision will be of course lost.

Tarnessh will cast Lightwall at the top of the rise. Even though our night vision will be lost, so will the hunters, and it's more important to mess with them being good in their element.

This planning also really shows that fighting these guys would be TERRIFYING, even with all our modern equipment, because they can do stuff like completely control the light and darkness of the battlefield. Obviously we'd still beat them because hey, tanks and guns and stuff, but it would be really hard going at first.

Also I think this trip is forcing Tarnessh to re-evaluate his views on foreigners. Like he'll dislike foreigners as an abstract group...but the River Folk that took them in and Sandy and Shell and those Newtlings, they don't really count as foreigners, right? I mean, they seemed alright and sure they don't know Peaceful Cut so they're clearly not AS good as Nomads but...you know, they're not SO bad. >_>

Anyone know what I mean?

In reply to Tarnessh Listens-To-Silence (msg # 165):

I do, its easy to dislike a group of people you know nothing about and have been told all your life are inferior, but once you get to know them you end up realising they are just like you. Except for Lunars and Sable riders they are always bastards :)

As for guns and tanks eventually winning the day, I don't think they would guarantee a win. If you think what some of the Rune Magic would do to them, lightning and Sunspear would do a lot of damage, then you have spirits and elementals. Having a Salamander sitting on a tank would probably be fatal to the tank. :)

Tanks and guns and things... Are the Mostali joining in?

It's not been my month. This time, my only net connection's totally failed: no more postings from me till tomorrow (or whenever it's fixed). Letting you know this on a briefly-borrowed connection.

I'll be using speedart on all of my javelins
Protection up as well. Bladesharp if anyone gets close to those I am protecting.

Excellent.

I will have those with speeddart cast it on all of the Rangers.

What will you do with any who try and surrender whilst you are fighting them?

No quarter?

cant have any survivors, except us :)

The priestesses specifications were no survivors.
I would not use the venom on my javelins at it might be detected and it's very nomad specific.

Thanks folks. Might not have much access tonight. we shall see.....

That's not what she said to Ohanzee, no one was to escape, kill or enslave she didn't care so long as none escaped

You're right. My bad.

So what will you if someone you are fighting surrenders?

I'd still kill them.
I feel like capturing might invite repercussions that are more severe than killing them.

Half way through an IC and got booted off the computer boooo. :)

In reply to GM (msg # 178):

At least as its a Mac, it didn't crash and wipe the half you have done :)

Ohanzee has already expressed that he'd not murder and killing someone who surrendered is murder. To him slaving is honourable and killing in a fight is honourable, hell, even stabbing an enemy in the back is honourable, but to kill someone who throws down their weapons and surrenders is not and dispicable as these men may be for what they do they are not in fact his enemies.

So, if one surrendered to him personally he'd feel compelled to accept it, but he wouldn't go out of his way to help any surrendering to others. Likewise he wouldn't raise a finger to help any that surrendered to others and who were attacked but would feel he had to step in to protect any surrendering direct to him.

He is after all an honourable sneaky bastard ;)

Yay.

Okay everyone throwing javelins got a combat tick. My bad, Ohanzee I had you cast a javelin sorry. Melock you got a crit on your sling so a tick for that. Jammy Raven.

Kobal and Henal both got Combat ticks. Henal getting the abdomen with an impale (Didn't worry about the whole pulling the spear out) and some nasty damage points.

Ohanzee you got a POW tick, failed disruption from Salen.

Tarnessh I cast multimisssile of you and you hit with both shots! Sling Tick (Rolled a 23 and 25)

Amara you have thrown three javelins. Your first one hit

There are three hunters left, two of them quite badly injured from missiles. Henal, Nixa, Kobal and Salen are facing them.

A whole bunch of Newtling and Deep Channel missiles hit, but I'll stop them firing for now.

Evidently my injuries are affecting my hittiness.. though it's not unlike me to commit many fumbles lol

Wow, and my javelin attack is like 85 and I still missed twice ROFLMAO

Thanks for posting for me. I wrote a 15 page essay today and when I was done I just didn't want to even look at a laptop screen for the rest of the day X_X

Melock as you are staying on the rise I'm going to give your shield to one of those without if that's okay? And will have you cast a disruption or two. Your Darkwall will run out now, renew?

Tarnessh and Henal I will throw a befuddle and a demoralise at the remaining three hunters, always good for a POW tick.

You lot caught them on the hop. Two of those injured on the ground will bleed out in the next few rounds.

The Lightwall is still going strong thanks to the use of the Golden Disc.

In reply to GM (msg # 184):

I thought I'd passed it on to Henal, so thats cool :)
Yes renew darkwall to keep Hoskar and Co hidden, and disrupts are a good idea as well :)

Regarding POW ticks; I’ve been tracking one per encounter (where successful and even if there is more than one success in an encounter), but do I need to do this, or is it one try per “session” regardless of successes, as per the other skills?

Javelin is fine by the way, no probs.

Only Henal succeeded with offensive magic.

Didn't Ohanzee ge the distuption to the one fleeing?

I was talking about this last fight vs the 3 hunters.

Ah, sorry

Mournful little scrap, really. From where I was standing, it looked like there were too many boys and too few men in the opposition for my liking.
Nice job with the knife there, Ohanzee - at least their suffering wasn't prolonged. "The gift of mercy", as Geo. Martin would have it.

Yep I hope that came across as the massacre it was.

There were three boys amongst them, and several of the men were old enough to be granddads.

In reply to GM (msg # 192):

Yes it did.

Those Sables have no respect for children or old people. I hope they throw the book at them.

Lol

Over to you guys to move us on back...

Plans for the remainder of the day?

In reply to GM (msg # 194):

I'm gonna...go somewhere quiet for awhile...you know, think about all that stuff. I don't think this is the kind of battle you go drinking and celebrating about afterwards.

I'm going to go to the temple and spend some time with my bestie. If nothing else it might provide some form of alibi. Especially if my javelins are taken back to where they were stored.

Yes. Mournful day indeed. Think Hoskar could do with a drink. Just the one, mind you - not the day for drunken maudlin mutterings being overheard by someone.

Back again.  Still busy (and will be the rest of the year) but at least the worst is over.  Kobal would be interested in going back into town for more scouting.  He's overcome of his initial nervousness about sticking out in the town, but still feels the Rangers should stick together.

Riverfolk who know what you've done will deal fairly with you, same goes for Newtlings.

So far that's the Deep Channel and Shallow Water families and the local Newtlings the Salt Jumpers and their off shoot the Tuff Tail gang.

Kobal is off looking about town.

Amara is off to the Trade Alliance to look up her bestie Zara and to report to the Priestess.

Ohanzee has vanished.

What are the rest of you doing?

Tarnessh needs time to sit, think, and collect himself. Isn't it Sun Hawk's holy day soon too?

Yes the next day.

Here's your Thread link to a message in this game

This is very true.

@Everyone: Can you all post IC what you're doing e.g. staying where you are, or walking off through the settlement (There's no market in the main square and not much people about). At present you are in the hut in the Deep Channel settlement.

In reply to GM (msg # 203):

If he goes to see the Zola Fel priest, he will take Taya for a walk, once he has check the coast is clear. She can go running and hunting in the reed beds out of sight :)

Sorry folks another busy night for me. Off to bed and will be back to normal tomorrow.

Melock, just giving you the option to go with the others first as you mentioned accompanying Amara. You can post IC leaving the group and making your way down to the shrine.

Options for those who baulk at drinking with the enemy:

Investigating the Trade barns

Investigating the houses (You did notice the day before that the hunters were congregated around one of them)

Go see Tolkazzi, the owner of the island.

Go find the Wizard.

Go investigate the ship.

In reply to GM (msg # 206):

I'm rather obliged to go for the drink. Think it might be a nice idea anyway: never hurts to have a chat with someone who might be in-the-know about all sorts of things. I'm used to Lunars - they were swarming around Pavis. Now if he was a Sable, it'd be different...

Quick question - what language are Hoskar and the lunar talking in? If its Tradetalk then Henal won't be a lot of use.

Another related one - can one of the other rangers teach Henal trade talk or who could he learn some from?

They're speaking Tradetalk at the moment.

You'd need to find someone with Trade at 90% to learn and it would take several weeks. There's no one in the group with that skill unfortunately.

A bit crappy for you when visiting civilisation, but you could always play a character who refuses to speak anything but their own language.

But how would he boast to them? :)

Lol

At the end of a spear perhaps?

You can presume that Hoskar will translate for you, or perhaps the Officer speaks Praxian....

In reply to GM (msg # 212):

I'd guess he does speak Praxian. He's either just a bent lunar or a river man who is helping from the inside :)

I've really noticed that Tarnessh is very emotional for a Sun Hawk follower, and probably a touch idealistic for the harshness of the Wastes. So when things don't match that, he tends to look at things from a very short-term perspective and lashes out at people, sometimes unfairly, as with Amara.

Just explaining why he's being by himself right now. At least he's self-aware enough to realize that it's better for him to relax and collect himself. After all, a visibly angry nomad with a chip on his shoulder is just asking for trouble in a foreign town.

This is obviously something that Tarnessh is going to need to work on as he grows and matures, although I hopes that he retains his relatively compassionate nature.

Oh sorry to talk so much about myself. Just wanted you guys to know that I'm not being lazy or ignoring the rest of you lot! The posts about what you guys are doing in town are great reading and I am following them all!

In reply to Tarnessh Listens-To-Silence (msg # 214):

Its good he has depths to his character :)
As for interparty disagreements, it makes it much more interesting and realistic than if we all thought the same and didn't disagree. Even before Melock upset Amara this time, they have had a few harsh words :)

oh yes.....Melock and I are almost worse than Greeshar and I.

I should create an argument heirarchy over who I argue with most.

In reply to Tarnessh Listens-To-Silence (msg # 214):

I think you're fine, guv - I've always seen the Sun Hawks as quite a principled set. Depth and solitude adds to the richness.

Just wait till you see what happens when I and a Sable are in the same space...or have you already if you've read backwards to the Giant Finger Holes stuff? :)

PS: in case anyone's thinking I've got a new best buddy in Adius, my plan is to try and see how bent/bribable he might be for future reference. Can't just ask outright, after all; and I did say I'd buy him a drink.

Sorry folks booted off the computer again. Will carry on in the morning :)

Thanks for all your great posts folks. I so enjoy reading them.

In reply to Amara Brightsky (msg # 216):

that could go horribly wrong as the whole party starts to argue even more with Amara, just to be at the top of her list :)
though I'm hoping Melock will be at the top, to start with :)

Not sure what your plans are, Henal. If you don't fancy sightseeing a boat, pull me along with you - I'm not that fussed where I go next and am offline weekends anyway; but I do want to keep us vaguely in groups.

Docks
There's the foreign ship, what looks like two Lunar patrol boats, and a dozen of the larger river folk boats. A smattering of locals and half a dozen green skinned sailors about to carry goods up to the city. The rest of the crew is on board.

It looks like Ohanzee is there by the foreign ship.

The riverfok present are all bunched up taking about something.

Unless you folks have certain plans I think I shall move us on after the docks are finished with.

Up coming events:

Amara will get healed tomorrow.

Sometime in the very near future the hunter camp will be discovered.

Hopefully the adventurers blamed and therefore opening a spot as guards on the boat to Pavis in three days.

What would you lot like to achieve during the remainder of your stay?

I'm doing the Sun Hawk thing.

In reply to GM (msg # 223):

Not much, really. Hoping the docks might give me something exotic to buy to trade upriver (at least as a cover if needed) - coin's all very well, but some goods would be nice too. Apart, from that, wing man to whoever wants one would fit the bill; or spend the OOC-weekend in camp as I'll be offline till Monday as usual.

PS: not sure what the IC communication issue is, but if it's a need for someone to speak trade, here I am. :)

In reply to GM (msg # 223):

Melock will keep a low profile, and buy a big bag of dried fish for Taya to hide in on the trip up river, I'm guessing the mud shark has run out by now, so he will take her hunting during the night. Even though they are in 'friendly territory' he will keep watch each night at his normal time.
He will spend the day time chilling out at the hut, and making little stick figures of the party for story telling :)

Salen is back at the hut, though it looks like we've lost him for the moment.

It looks like the ship's crew are bringing things to trade in town.

Sorry Tarnessh it's still the day before your Holy day, but it would make sense for you to head off and find a spot. One of the Deep Channel men will take you to an isolated island with a handy spire of rock. He'll pick you up when you want.

Awww man, I got no idea what I wanna do for the rest of the day before then. I've kinda got all my ducks in a row already. I guess I'll go find that spire.

Moving on is fine with me.  No particular plans for remainder of the stay, other than to try to get on board the ship which is heading north with the wizard.  Will we need to head back to the Shallow Waters clan to get our animals?

Yes. You can try and take over the ship and head back to their settlement, jump ship and head off into the sunset.

In reply to GM (msg # 231):

and get our share of the loot for helping free Desi and stealing the boat. Though the wizard is going to be a bit of a wild card.

My bad I got the sailors colours mixed, they should be green. Now they're a mix. Some green, some grey...

In reply to GM (msg # 233):

Was the voyage that rough that they are still feeling sick? :)

Lol

Wait, is Desi on that ship right now?

No Desi is leaving on a ship on Godsday in three days time. Today is Windsday. You are waiting for the Sable rider and his companions to hopefully get framed and then take their place as guards.

The ship in the docks is a sea going boat and is from somewhere to the West.

Oh okay. Sorry for getting a bit lost.

In reply to Tarnessh Listens-To-Silence (msg # 238):

I'll have Tarnessh be back in the evening so we can discuss our plans the day before Sun Hawk's Holy Day. Right now he's scouting out a place to meditate, as discussed before. You know, checking out the Spire.

Boy what a busy weekend, football for the boys Saturday morning, then the rest of the day christmas market and craft stalls with the boys followed by an evening at home looking after Zac who was sick (Lewis fine so far)

Similar story Sunday so I only managed to check in by phone a couple of times. Catching up now.

Not at all, it's my job to keep you informed.


@Everyone

Sandy and one of you lot did suggest that you  take the boat back to the Shallow Water settlement where you jump ship, taking your mounts up North to the Tower. Which Salen will explain is not on the river edge but higher up on one of the many ridges of Vulture country.

Of course getting Bamled and Sand Fox to bring your mounts North to meet you is doable, though where do you meet them? Sandy would be able to give you suggestions where.

Every day on the river on a Lunar owned boat gives a chance of discovery.

12:13, Today: Hoskar Feather rolled 29 using 1d100. Bargain 100L t55.
For GM's reference to support my imminent IC.
This message was last edited by the player at 12:23, Mon 08 Dec 2014.

Take a tick. You can try out the goods...They will prove to be a rather good smoke. In real life take the best smoke you had and double it. A pipe will give you and friends an afternoon of joy. One for yourself will bring you closer to the gods.

Now that is going to have to be one thoroughly superlative smoke.  Hoskar will look forward to it while the player looks on in envy. I just hope he doesn't end up like the one on the far right here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/combomphotos/4462906457/

Wearing both hats, I look forward to being able to share a pipe with Salen next holy day.

Those present in the hall, please let me know if you mind me using the kitty to buy more tea. I reckon there's a good margin in it up north. If I don't hear from you, I'll just do it.

Dissenters later can have some of the goods I left back with the mounts if you'd prefer to lose your share in the profits :)

In reply to Hoskar Feather (msg # 246):

Fine with me.

In reply to Hoskar Feather (msg # 246):

Melock will trust Hoskars trading skills :)

15000! WoOt

In reply to Salen's mum (msg # 249):

That's a lot of posts :)
Well done everybody, and thanks to the GM for all his hard work :)

Yes, thanks GM, for all the work you've put into this.  And to everyone else for contributing to the fun  :)

Okay Amara is all caught up now.

Once Tolkazzi is dealt with and nothing else crops up i will moves on, roll some dice and see how the framing goes.....

Hoping the IC is clear enough; but assuming Melock helps, I reckon we get the tea back to camp. Time to keep a lowish profile and feed the cat, I reckon.

On travel: I'm all for jumping ship ASAP. I miss my rhinos.

re #249: I agree with all the replies. Much appreciation to you all; and especially to our beloved GM, who went Above and Beyond to enable a rather forlorn and wholly gameless chap to get in touch and join up.

Damn straight, Hoskar. Time with Taya is fun, but I want to see thick-skin again too.

A great game indeed and well played all round :)

Regarding "Looking for Tolkazzi"; who is with Ohanzee as I doubt that the soldier and Tolkazzi are speaking Praxian?

Actually Kobal was just backing up Henal's post IC about it better to win metal than to bargain for it.  Not necessarily saying not to trade for it.  I don't know whether you want to leave that as an IC misunderstanding or not  :)

Sorry, still busy with work (and will be for the rest of the month), so I'm still sort of skim-reading posts.  Should've been clearer with what I meant.



Kobal is with Ohanzee, to give support in case the merchant and his toughs find Ohanzee, but hanging back to give the brave the room he wants.  Kobal speaks some basic Tradetalk.

In reply to Kobal (msg # 256):
Think I might leave that as an IC misunderstanding. My instinct was against it, truth be told, for the IC-stated reason: tea chests often float, metal definitely doesn't swim well.

Sandy will join you in a moment.

Sorry about the slow posts today, for some reason my phone is being selective about which web sites I can view. It just wont load rpol, but I'm getting the notifications, but the bbc news and a few others it does load. So I'm using the schools wifi, hopefully it will sort itself out by the end of work.
Melock plans to wonder round the town looking for that trader and/or his goons.

Henal just tag onto either of the two groups, which ever one suits.

In reply to Hoskar Feather (msg # 261):

Cheers :)

In reply to GM (msg # 262):

Will do. Been a bit busy as new contract has me working in Slough and I'm ending up spending 4 hours a day commuting.

Just got home and had a nice surprise waiting for me, the 6 map set of Genertela. I had totally forgotten that they came with the books :) Only slight downside, the join for one of the posters is just east of the Zola Fel.


@Henal. 4 hours commuting, that sucks

That's a bit daft when you think how the vast majority of people game in that valley.

Yes 4hrs not my cup of tea either.

In reply to GM (msg # 266):

I think its just chance not planning that its like that, as each section is A0 in size. Its just a larger version, without hexes, of the atlas map. Its just A shame I dont have the wall space to put them all up :)

I get a distinct impression that it's all about to hit the fan up at Tolkazzi's. And there's me oblivious to it in a bar.

How very Condor.

Think you've missed the IC post before yours.

In reply to GM (msg # 269):

I had too. Thought it was with Tolkazzi. I'll knock out a swift amendment or two...

Sorry about the stuff up re Falabdur.
I understand that was the name of Tella's father the first time I read the post, but I got around to posting, I forgot...

4 hours commute - BAD
Terminating in Slough - WORSE

:D

Jeez the fact you lot remember any of the names always amazes me. No worries. Easy for me to set you straight IC :)

Our NPC list is huge.... I feel like I have multiple personalities.

I'm not sure on the tavern geography: are Melock, Tarnessh and Hoskar going to be in a position to see Kobal (and anyone follwing him) coming down the stairs/urging us lot to cheese it?

In reply to Hoskar Feather (msg # 275):

Running would only make us look guilty :)

Ohanzee is certainly not uerging anyone to run.

I love that Kobal and Ohanzee left the same meeting with diametrically opposed oppinions on what was disclosed :)

I was thinking more along the lines of "wander off looking nonchalant" really: maybe "cheese it" was overdoing it on my part. :)

Yes.

And you will be in a perfect place for all the Lunars to see you scurrying off too.

Not sure where you plan to go....The hut is out side the stockade.

What you should do is walk away like everything is normal and you have every reason to be there. Seriously.

Who are you talking to Tarnessh?

@Amara, have you emerged from the clutches of the Red Rhino Riders (3R's)

Amara is using her time with the lunars to learn their secret plan for world domination. Also to hang out with my bff away from you guys who are a little fragrant

In reply to GM (msg # 283):

Oh sorry, I was talking to Sandy.

We must smell REALLY bad for a female rhino rider to notice :)

It's part of our manly essence!

I thought it might be Melocks feet in those hot, sweaty moon boots :)

I didn't want to say anything but really.....you're pungent and it's not anything that could be associated with manliness.....more excrement.

Ahh... I love you lot. Settles in with Pop corn.

In reply to Amara Brightsky (msg # 290):

I think that smell has been there all the time, its just now that Amara has new friends who dont smell of rhino or bison dung, she is noticing it on us. Which would imply that she is being pampered and maybe turning to the darkside :)



Reaches over and grabs some

Ah the sweet smell of suspicion.

I have to admit I am tempted by the Lunar side more and more, precisely because they do not smell of their own waste products although I sincerely doubt I will ever be one of their painted ladies like the priestess. I'm actually a lilbit concerned over my bff and what her duties are.

Come to the Lunar side, at least we don't smell of bison poo

That should be on their recrutment posters

I love our GM :-)

I'm convinced, where does Melock sign up :)

Awww c'mon, you can't beat bison steaks cooked over an open poo fire.

I'm with you there, having used camel poo many times to cook on.

In reply to GM (msg # 300):

That must have been one lost and cold camel :)

I know you havent always lived in Finland, but it was too good a line not to write it :)

I'm guessing reindeer poo is too damp, you need something that lives in a warm dry climate. I might, if I'm feeling really adventurous, get my friend who has some alpaca's to get some of their poo and dry it out and try burning it. How do you light it, with matches?

You know I'm secretly Am-Eel, Jar-Eel's evil twin sister.

As Jar-Eel is evil, from our point of view and Am-Eel is evil from Jar-Eel's point of view, does that make Am-Eel good from our point of view or very, very evil?

My head hurts just trying to work that out

You should know better than try to figure me out.

when I come into power as Am-Eel I shall make you bathe every day and use scented soap.

I'll let you decide which side of the spectrum I am on from that.

Luckily enough the actual client offices are nice and I'll get to work from home on Fridays. :)

In reply to Amara Brightsky (msg # 304):

Forcing a nomad to bathe every day and use soap, Am-Eel is truly evil!



I'd say thats worth the daily commute :)

I removed some loose change from the kitty to pay for last night's drinks and food.

Melock Sa'ar said to come and get some Newtling friendship bracelets today.

Tarnessh is away praying.

Anyone want to do anything? Or shall I move us on?

Amara will rejoin you at the end of the day.

You are free to move around the island.

Bargain roll from you please Melock

In reply to GM (msg # 308):

Missed it by 9.

As you were so close I'll allow a chink in his armour to show to the others. You'd have got a bonus if you'd been a bit more eloquent.

In reply to GM (msg # 310):

Thats cool, it was just an automatic response, cant just take the first offer :)

I'll leave the bargaining to those who can speak the lingo :)

Folks, you can't take the job on the slow boat to Pavis if you want to make it to the Earth Wtiches place in time.

I think everyone, once they have taken the boat over and freed Desi, plan to jump ship and go to the tower.

In reply to GM (msg # 314):

That's certainly my plan. Might have bought more tea with communal funds if we were going straight to Pavis, but didn't want to risk too much shared finance given our likely diversions and the vicissitudes of travel in the wastes.

providing Desi makes it worth our while to free him :)
And as long as the wizard is on our side

Think I know what's coming. Will post a Bargain roll in just a tick...

17:03, Today: Hoskar Feather rolled 82 using 1d100. Bargain t55.  Arse! Feck! Girls! Drink! Sorry, folks.

At least I was nice and polite: hopefully won't get torn too large a new one this time.
This message was last edited by the player at 17:05, Thu 11 Dec 2014.

Okay I'm going to move us on again to tomorrow morning (The day before departure) if anyone wants to see the crucifixion, otherwise I'll move us to the night before the boat departs, so as to give you all time to discuss plans and give Amara a chance to explain what has gone on, unless there's some pressing business folk have.

You'll be lent basic weapons for the job: Wicker shields, javelins, spears and bows if you want them.

I must say thanks folks as it's been the most fun i've spent in Corflu :)

Melock you will receive a small shell fetish on a fish gut thong for each member of the Rangers to wear.

In reply to GM (msg # 319):

Wait till we come back with the clan, we'll wreck the place :)

Another fetish to add to my collection :)
