Thanks. Permissions should be correct now.

Meowmast sent his cat to scout at dusk, which means it is now night. Everyone has gone to sleep. Note that  there is no moon shining on you (even though the half Red Moon glows red).

Are you sure you're going to Littleport in the middle of the night, or do you wait until morning?

Getting there at first light would be fine.  Unless there is some reason to think that another attack is planned.  Just trying to keep things moving.

Asking around you get the impression there might be another attack on the town tomorrow. Which would mean you couldn't really stroll down to Littleport to chat with people.

But going at night would mean going with torches through darkness and waking people up if you want to talk to them.

Then Vasana will stay in camp.  She is not the type to disregard orders or be absent when the people she is leading need her.  Regardless of her thoughts on the competence of leadership above her.

In reply to Vasana (msg # 282):

Second this.
We must not leave the attack and thus offend the commanders

Hello everyone, Ulina, priestess of Orlanth Thunderous (and hopefully Heler), storm witch bringer of rains, here to help the cause of Sartar's freedom! Great to be gaming with you all. Just waiting to get my clearance from the GM and join you IC.

heya and welcome :)

Welcome

Hey Mr GM - a house rule we were discussing on the Facebook Runequest group was too give a +10 bonus to the rune affinity for a week to those who attend the worship service of a deity in one of that deity's runes, even if they were lay members. This encourages people to act like the god, acts a lot like augment enhancements from HQG, and gives people a reason to attend worship services even if they're just lay members. Getting +10% to Earth after attending an Ernalda service can help with farming, for example. It also strengthens the connection for Initiats and Rune Masters even if they are full up on Rune Points, making their magic easier. What do you think? Of course, people would still need to kick in the 3 clacks and 2 MPs.

I don't generally houserule unless I feel a need for it, and as I've played this game less than two ingame weeks I've had no chance to develop that need.

Do you have a link to the discussion?

It was in the Runequest group on FB, but I don't have the exact post.

Just a quick headsup.
Somewhat overwhelmed by the sudden workload increase.
Will try to cope, though

At this time I'd like to quote from the rulebook p 8-9:


So the game is built around the idea that when you're "done" with a situation, your characters return to their homes and normal lives.

I hate to stop you from doing something you want to do, but if there is such a thing - something you'd really like to do - I'd like to discuss it now. Otherwise I think it's time for the Dead Calm to return home.

SO Syssiah could embrace fully her initiate role in Apple Lane for example ?

But does that mean they learn anything (ie skill improving or passions ?)

You get to pick four occupational or cult skills to get an experience check, unless you’ve been away more than half the season.

How are Power Gain rolls from worship handled? POW is the thing I need to qualify to become a Storm Voice.

If Ulina travels with the band, she will be happy to lead Storm Tribe worship for them.

I'm also considering taking my priest funds and investing in the traditional Storm Voice traveling shrine. Mr GM, as a mere Initiate am I allowed to do that?

As per the rules (p. 418):





What's that?

Orlanth priests who aren't at a temple traditionally wander using an ox-drawn cart that carries a votive image of the god, wandering as the winds do, bring Orlanth's blessings to far flung steads.

I'll be more than happy to hold a worship to Orlanth next Windsday so you guys can get back any spent rune points! Sacrifices gratefully accepted. I have Worship (Orlanth) at 95%. Even if the cart doesn't count as a shrine, I can cast Consecrate and we can hold a worship on the nearest hill.

Where did you find the image?

A shrine needs a minimum of 75 initiates to maintain it. (p. 284)

The Santcify spell accounts for this, and lets you refresh Rune Points without a temple -

I would presume that an area made holy with the Sanctify spell would count as a Site (Page 338), so a group like hours would have to stop and worship if we were traveling, taking a day off. Sites don't give a bonus to the Worship skill, so Worship On The Run would give only 1D3 rune points on any old day (Holy Site, Page 315) or 1D6 points on a Minor Holy Day (Windsday for Orlanth, Clayday for Ernalda). Associated cults would probably be treated as non-holy day  worship. 1D3 points isnt a lot, and it always costs a Rune point to cast Sanctify. If you roll a 1 all you can do is try again and having wasted a day without getting anything. And, it's temporary, no spiritual defenses, no bonuses to the worship roll, no special cult spells, nothing. Literally, all it's good for is getting back Rune points.

I asked the devs for clarification in the FB RQG group.
