Re: Awards and development

Thank you.  I plan to buy additional paut before our next mission, hopefully to have enough to share if needed.  The healing potion, likewise; since we have no healer in our group.

Which leads to an obvious suggestion -- might we consider recruiting a healer to join us?  Being able, during a mission, to convert Lent Energy or paut into healing might be very worthwhile -- and healers, being always some kind of priest, are often useful in fights against demons and undead, as well.

Seems we may as well just divide up the coin from the dragon men and ashigaru between those who haven't received jades or potions.  For the lacquered box, perhaps a gift to the Omo or Yodoku?

A gift to the Omo is always appreciated.

Finding a player might be hard, spending points on a 125pt character as a henchperson might work at 8pts

There is currently open be healer in the city twiddling her tiny thumbs, but she is a druid.  of the clerical healers I control, one is returning with a party very soon, and the other is just heading back out of town now.

Not sure if lepricaun is suited to your group though, nor if her group still needs her.

Re: Awards and development

I've been entertaining the notion of a christian priest pc for a long time...

Re: Awards and development

Aoife, I really doubt a leprechaun would fit into our wuxia way of life.

Ideally, we'd seek a priest of some Sahudese flavor -- speaking Sahudese is strongly favored, since most of our enemies prefer that language and some of us do as well, though I think all of us speak at least some Aralaise.  Said person should also be able to hold their own in a fight, whether with hands and feet, weapons, or magic, and unless they're to be an outsider/mercenary like Iskander, need to be at least open to swearing to service with Sakemoko.

An 8-point expenditure for a henchman seems a reasonable alternative; that's fewer than two points for each of us.  We'd get less help fighting Akira Kumo No's followers than from a competent PC, but potentially a more capable healer (a 125 point specialist can often beat a 250 point generalist in their area of expertise).

No worries. Just offering. It sounds like a Christian priest would be equally out of place, unless they were a missionary!

Re: Awards and development

I agree, I don't know that a Christian priest would fit well -- even a missionary seems unlikely to be willing to go on raids that involve killing folk who aren't demonic in nature (as is the case with the rank and file of Akira's henchfolk).

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 33):
Pacifism is actually a heresy, according to orthodoxy.
a priest may not have ever shed blood, but not all are called to be priests.
granted, my character would be a priest, his attacks would be more more spiritual warfare and healing. but also, being that this is also fantasy, i could reconcile these differences, and the church itself would have come to Yrth as missionaries, including it's very own saints, and also appearences of previously unamed angels, as well as the familiar. particularly michael, and perhaps the angel uriel, being the most prominent. with a greater level of supernatural evil about, contending with other spirits, and Gods, Yrth would be a frontier for God, and so his followers might well need to bear the sword...

Re: Awards and development

I agree that a Sahudese healer would be better suited.
potions seem to help us get through life or death situations though, so far.
though it'll take strong magic, or divine aid for anything more serious than a bad impaling wound (which is bad enough)

A potion isn't much help for an unconscious character, though, and a serious impaling wound, especially if dealt by a top notch archer or crossbowman (who can make called shots to bypass armor), virtually ensures an unconscious victim.

I also see a potential issue with a Christian priest "serving" an Earthly authority the likes of Sakemoko.  Don't forget, as a former Guildmaster, Sakemoko is far from lily white.  Then again, Northport is governed by literal devil worshippers (Dis Pater, one of the Lords of Hell, is the Hadereum's patron).

Any case, if we're to split up the coins taken from dragon men and ashigaru, that total is $223.  Divided 6 ways, it would be $37 each with one bit left over.  I would favor gifting the lacquered box to Sakemoko.

Re: Awards and development

no, i wouldn't make him for the wuxia threads. lol yeah, that'd be like putting soy sauce on pancakes. that idea is for a priest character in general. for a sahudese healing character, i would give him herbalist,ying-yang healing, esoteric medicine (sahudese),and surgeon, perhaps.

okay, but if we gift the box, it's from all of us. :D

Yeah, or maybe more like putting maple syrup on yakisoba.

I like the sound of that already -- like Miss Yodoku, without the "torturer" side.

maybe an old man, with longevity, and some martial arts skills, maybe even a mastery... an old master/healer...

Re: Awards and development

We have an additional jade piece, and the dragon artwork, which Chye took each worth $375, for a net of $750. that divided into six shares, is an additional $125 apiece. Chye is satisfied with his belt plaque, and will contribute the artwork to be divvied up.
upon good authority, i have heard it from the narrator that this new jade piece is a yellowish pale color dragon, that was forgotten to mention.

Re: Awards and development

Very nice find, Chye.  Okay, we have the dragon wall art that needs to be sold (we'll lose some value due to the wealth-based pricing, so can't count on the $125 each).  Beyond that, I received potions worth $135 (paut) and unknown valuation (Minor Healing).  Once we have a value for the healing potion, I'll put cash into the group fund to be divided.

Jewelry and cash are not affected by wealth, but articles of virtue such as the box and the wall hanging are.

Short version: the more Wealth you have, the more you get for fencing selling goods like the wall hanging or the lacquered box.  If you're Struggling or Flat Broke, you're prone to stay that way.

There's (a little) more money coming in from there, with Aoife selling off the trollish scrolls (the originals), but I was just thinking we should have some CP coming in soon...

As I understand, there were 4 of us, so we got $200/4 = $50 in addition to the $240 each we received as wages. There is still the trollish statue to be sold and the cash divided...and CP.

Re: Awards and development

Well, that sage who's a troll enthusiast would be the sensible person to offer the statue to.  Do you have magic that can repair it?

Oh, and I presume you returned the paut I passed to you in case of need in intimidating ogres?

Naturally, though I did have some of my own :).

No helpful repair magic, sorry.
