Is Glissom a pagan land or do they follow the True Faith?  Where would Guillaume go to worship on Halidgae?

Thats a good question...  who sent me?  Should I just make it up?  Assuming that any body that referred me won't wreck the game?

Glissom is the last pagan land in Ellesland they follow a very codified form of druidical worship of Brigantia, the patron goddess of Glissom. She was perhaps once a goddess of fire as tool and hearth but she is now seen as the personification of Glissom itself.

There are perhaps some similarities between a few depictions of her and Gatandes mother that may keep those of True Faith a little at ease.

The True Faith Chapel is down in Harbourside and is quite small; there are few worshippers here and with the Crusades on it is unlikely the Church will have the resources or impetus to attempt converting the Fief anytime soon.

Anyone may have sent you or you may have sent yourself; though it is noted that you spoke with the Captain whether you did it while he was with churchmen or in a bar while he was drowning his sorrows is up to you.

If it was a churchman its most likely he is acting individually rather than as part of some society. Not a lot of gold collected by the Elleslandic church is flowing back to its functionaries these days...and even a holy man has to eat.

If there is need to tighten up meetings etc. at a later date I have means available but I see no need as yet. :)

Hmmm... maybe getting drunk and passing out wasn't the best opening move. :D

hahaha, well Father Jeffries went to bed, I figured it was sleepy time.  Also my character had already been deprived of half a night's sleep and was now drunk.  I wonder what kind of trouble Kores will get up to while we sleep...  Was he drunk?

What could a stubborn, slightly deranged man possibly get up to in the dock area of a city on his own, in the dark, slightly drunk....Oh think we may need to alter  our posts to go look for him..... what do you think Bael?

mayhaps we'll be woken by his yelping cries or a frantic return to the chapel?  If you're worried (and it probably would fit Brother Jacob more than Bael), you could wake up worried about Kores and drag me out to help find him?

Re: OOC Thread: For OOC Chatter and bitching about the GM.

So how do the Stealth/Perception rolls work?

I thought that Stealth was the active skill, so I need to roll under (my Stealth) - (opposition Perception) on 2d10.  Is that right?  I supposed it could also work the other way around - if someone was actively searching they would need to roll over the same number on 2d10...?

The roll was Stealth ( 17) - Perception 7 = TN 10. The 2d10 roll made was 13 + some modifiers because your initial disguise roll was so good ( -2). Result= 11. So the disguise failed but not by very much, and the accent is 100% authenticas near as can be told. So the info your new friend has is that your not the yokel you appear to be, but you seem to be from Glissom nonetheless.

If someone was actively searching I'd be rolling on behalf of the one hiding.

Bonivant may well do it differently in his games but I'll keep it simple for now cos I'm feeling old and my memory ain't the best. :)

Any more Qs? I like Qs.

Can I get experience points healing someone who killed a lot of orcs?  Way I see it, as it stands I only get experience points for incinerating people, not depleting my energies patching people together....

Yeah, experience will follow a similar but somewhat looser format to Good Master Bonivant. :)

So talking, roleplaying, healing, inventive use of spells etc. will all net xp.

In reply to GM (msg # 43):

it's a bit small.  Does rpol have a size limiter on it?  Could get round that by cutting it in two and uploading those at full size?  Is it from Prince Of Darkness?  That's the only dw I don't have. :(

It is a bit small.

You could try to edit the original jpeg with your picture editor, then upload it again onto your destination site (I use Photobucket), then upload it again onto RPoL.  The Game Map has a 1Mb limit per map I think, which may not help.

Ok, I'll just let the castlesiders finish their conversation then move them to the next day as well.

If you haven't got something in mind for your character to do just let me know and I'll throw a plot-rock at their head.

I'm not, I just happened to turn up at the church while travelling away from home.  Father Jeffries has just turned out to be better than the crappy inn I tried to stay in when I came to Glissom.
