Re: Seekers of the Flame

Christine Bjorn:
Does that not also work against spellstones and potions?

OOC:  Neither make a roll, so neither are directly affected.  However, she has to make a HT+MR and fail for Potions to work; against Spellstones only if they have a Resistance Roll (which none of them do as they are all meant to be used by the wielder).

So upon reflection... there is a damned good chance potions will fizzle (which I didn't think about when she took the Healing Potion as loot)... so she needs to start stocking up on Gems of Healing.  Or pick up Regeneration, somehow...

Created an Ally on standby with the appropriate perks if we cant work out something else. An appropriate fire god would be suitable for an ally of Christine...I think I still have cp I can use for her, right Narrator?

Jednesa:
OOC:  Something else to be wary of if you cast a spell on Jednesa, she has MR 3, so you're at -3 to your spell checks.


That's inconvenient, but not breaking.  If the spell fails, it only costs 1 FP; both can spare one on that (and with net skill 10, we have a 50% chance of success each casting).  Nor does that change our fumble rate.

Unless you have the Huge Subject perk, they will cost 3 fp for even the basic healing spells...

OOC:  The rules say "If success would have cost energy, you lose one energy point; otherwise, you lose nothing."  So I don't think the times 3 is applied in a failure (unless it was Information spell as well, as Information spells cost the full value even in a failure).

Let's  look at acquiring an ally along with the spell, a suitably impressed temple guardian works well.

Alice departs, and the gnome has signed on.
Do whatever shopping you need (Camilla will arrange for Jednesa to gave her harness repaired and the wagon supplied with group basics and some rations suitable for the ogress.
All regroup the next morning.

Masugatan wakes up in the Shady Lady to the scent of frying bacon. His bed looks like more than one person slept in it, and once he comes down to eat, the barmaid serves him, winks, and says "Let me go pack. Be ready by the time you finish."

“You’re coming with me?  You know it’ll be dangerous, right?”

But what did it matters?  All was right with the world, as long as you got bacon.

A few minutes later, she returns, wearing travelling leathers, including a light helm and a cuirasse set with metal plates and studs, and she carries a bedroll, a spiked mace, a knife and a throwing axe.

Re: Seekers of the Flame

Evelina notices the armed and armored woman with Masugatan.

"Good morning to you!  I am Holiness Evelina Grattan, Queen of the Frog God cult -- but while we travel together, you may call me Evelina, or just Evvie."

She gestures toward the other, very similar looking woman with her.  "This is Holy Sister Elaina Grattan, First Acolyte.  Before she was Holy Sister, but just my little sister, I used to call her Lainie."

Re: Seekers of the Flame

"That's more or less what we have in mind, too.  We need to enrich our cult.  Ideally, I'd like to see us buy a nice piece of swamp front land and build a temple, but we'll start with renting something in town, if we can raise the coin."

“When I do well, I’ll do lots of good.  The brothel and tavern segment of the economy will get lots of stim, anyway.”

Or is it ‘ecomony’?  He hoped he’d gotten it right.

Jednesa just waits by the cart for everyone to be assembled and ready to go.  There are five barrels and two chests lashed to it with rope and a tarp partially tied down covering it.

Re: Seekers of the Flame

Queen Evelina and Holy Sister Elaina slip off their heavy packs and spend a few moments ensuring they won't shift or fall off the cart.

"We've seen a couple other ogres around Northport just since we arrived -- there's 'elga the Henormous who works for the city, and that fellow at the Guild. didn't catch his name -- but they seem more, um, city-bred.  I think I like you better, Jednesa.  I'm looking forward to this journey."

Re: Seekers of the Flame

Jednesa smiles at Evelina, "Small ogre better for city.  Mountain tribes not have city ways." She sighs, "Small man from Camilla say Jednesa wear this while in city."

She plucks at the sailcloth poncho and skirt she is wearing.  "That why Jednesa just sitting, not moving.  Everything weak in city, break when Jednesa move and if not careful."

With that she leads them out of the city on the start of their journey.

"Once we're away from the city, you can wear what you like, as far as I'm concerned."  Elaina nods agreement and smiles.

The sisters fall in behind the cart, setting their pace to match the slowest of the group (likely themselves, however).
