Hi all, looking forward to wandering Prax with you

Likewise, let's be careful out there.

Hi folks, hope all are keeping well. I'm going to be providing some Morokanth muscle and more than a little bulk as well as spiritual guidance.

Hi all, I'll be a high llama brave.

Hope to set up my character and details over the Easter break.  I was Kobal in the Three Feathered Rivals game, where I played with Mabwe and Norajia  :)

Was that Iskallor's game?

It was Iskallor's game, I was Ohanzee in that life :)

I played with him in a couple of Bandos12's games.

Note on "all common rune magic"-
I am taking this at face value. As the PCs are initiates into their respective cults, they have access to all common rune magic (page 74).

The limitation is rune points.

Common Rune Magic
Command Cult Spirit   2 points
Dismiss Magic              1 point
Divination                      1 point
Extension                      1 point
Find Enemy                    1 point
Heal Wound                   1 point
Multispell                       1 point
Sanctify                         1 point
Soul Sight                      1 point
Spirit Block                    1 point
Warding                         1 point

Except Norajia, She's not allowed to use Warding (it's mean to people)

In reply to Norajia (msg # 10):

True--invisible electric fence!

Create Market is OK though. That's only mean to mean people. A sort of Karmic slap on the head

She can use warding. It has a detection, alert and an attack component. The attack component is generally disruption type damage, but it could be befuddle, sleep, dispel magic, you just set up a suitable option when casting.

What about Summon Cult Spirit?  That's a common Rune spell, 1-3 points.

In reply to Lamek (msg # 14):

Yes, and looks like this was added to the table in the second printing.
(https://www.chaosium.com/conte...ng%20corrections.pdf)

Thanks for your patience gang, I think we have a good group and I'll plan to launch by May 1.

Cool, looking forward to it.

Same here. I've been noticing more butterflies in the garden since I rolled up the Chalana Arroy character. There was a damselfly too, if I see a dragonfly I may have to think a little deeper about that left handed thing.

No worries.  Thanks for the update, Gargle  :)

Do we have all of the great tribes?

I think so, from pygmy impalas to lanky llamas. It should be interesting.

Actually, by coincidence, my Storm Bull initiate is lanky.

Anyone had luck on a character sheet?  I'm trying to update a rq3 one to rqg

Gargle linked me to a .xlsx one that opened with sheets on my mac (I guess Exel on Windos) in a browser window.
I've been experimenting with formulas based on characteristics for things like Mac ENC, max HP, skill category modifiers etc.) He may have tweaked it further.

In reply to Norajia (msg # 24):

Hey guys,
I kind of like this one:

https://docs.google.com/spread.../edit#gid=1900701853

if you can make a copy and edit on that.

>EDIT: Please use the ones I sent you by PM.

Apologies Norajita for that other one, I worked on it some and found it a little wonky and hard to edit.

This one does not do calculations or figure out your strike rank or modifiers, but also doesn't have too much hidden code that's smarter than me...

>EDIT: Thangar noticed a few glitches in the char sheet but I think it's still decent. For example, the little boxes above each category of skills where you can plug in your skill modifier? If you put in 5 or +5, it changes it to 500%! If you know how to remove that hidden code (I don't!) you can do that, otherwise you can just put the number in quotes, so for example manipulation bonus "+5".

Less annoyingly, a few of the cells have values in red or some other color.

In reply to Gargle (msg # 25):

Just fixed the permissions on a few of the prologues-oops!

For keeping track of character dialog, please use distinct colors. I recommend:

LEMAK Coral
THANGAR Royalred
MABWE Gray
NORAJIA Green
TUARI Periwinkle

Thanks!

Great roll playing, I really hope you all reach the tent without anybody killing anybody else!
Incidentally one thing you all notice--the group, though small in number, is large in SIZ.
The average SIZ is >18!

Hello, everyone! My name is November and I'm a non binary human who is new to Glorantha and Play-by-post games, and RPGs in general, but I'm looking forward to traveling the lands with you!

I realised this after my post IC  :)  Noticed that Norijia is SIZ 16.
This party is going to be terrible at stealth checks  :P

Hi November/Thangar  :)  Hope you enjoy Glorantha, PBP and RPGs.  Have you played an RPG in real life before?

I've only played a few PBP games myself but it seems to me people generally address each other by their character's names - easier to remember.  Hope that's fine with you  :)

Hopefully there won't be any small tunnels to crawl through....

Norajia has a net +10 % stealth modifier, but I didn't put any points into the skills so she's not going to be much good at it. I assumed that there might be someone with a positive size modifier and a motivation to do sneaky stuff.

Tuari is size 21, don't look at him to be sneaking.

That's two thirds the size of my sable (29)

Hi Thangar, I hope you enjoy the game. please humour us if we ramble on about background in character, some of us have been knocking around Prax quite a while. I guess you've picked up that the White Goddess is Chalana Arroy, I tend to call Orlanth 'Little Brother' in character (Strombull is his big brother as well as {Eritrea's Eiritha's} main husband and Waha's father) some people call Praxian animal nomads 'Dedra' and morocanth herd-men gerns. If anything's unclear you can always post <OOC> to ask.

In reply to Lemak (msg # 31):

I've played DnD a couple times in person and right now am part of a game over Zoom, but I've never played Runequest before.

Welcome and I hope you have a great time playing here.

O.o



Yes, Thangar, there's a lot of background about Glorantha/Prax, which great in adding depth to games, but can be daunting to newbies.  If you read anything in the game, and are not sure if you're missing something, feel free to ask OOC.

I just bought the Chalana Arroy face covering on Redouble. I won't rock it quite like their model does, but still, worth a punt.

Excellent! Keep those disease spirits at bay!

Yes, I've been tempted by those  :)
Chalana Arroy seems most appropriate, but I like Uz, so I prefer xiola Umbar.  I like some of the Cthulhu sign ones too though.
Had been wondering whether there'd be a Mallia one...

I don't know how cannon this Rule one stuff is but it came up when I looked up Oho-Wahano

The Yassa
The Yassa is the Law of Waha. It defines
the basic parameters of Praxian life. It deter- mines how men deal with women, with ani- mals, and with those outside their own tent.
It is not a moral guide, but a guide to proper procedure and ritual. It explains how people are to survive, both technically (what plants and animals can be eaten, how an animal is to be butchered), magically (what living be- ings eat plants and what living beings eat animals, what living beings are people) and interpersonally (how strangers are treated, when and where violence is acceptable). It defines crime and punishment, funeral cus- toms, and clothing styles, among other things.
The Yassa defines four categories of be- ings: the Wahano, the “People of Waha”; the Eirithana the “Children of Eiritha”; the Oho-
Wahano, the “Not-People of Waha”; and the Vrakanga, the “things of Chaos”. The Yassa is binding on the Wahano and the Eirithana. The Oho-Wahano are those who do not abide by the Yassa and who are therefore not considered Praxians; this includes both for- eigners (a category that includes River Folk, Oasis Folk, and Pavisites, as well as those coming into Prax from elsewhere) and the Gagarthi, those who have been banished for violating the Yassa. The Oho-Wahano can be treated in any way the Wahano choose, and cannot claim any sort of protection under the Yassa. The Vrakanga are not to be tolerated but must be directly opposed and destroyed.
Praxian society itself is divided into the Wah- ano and the Eirithana (essentially, people and animals), and they are bound by the Yassa. For the most part, people are two-legged and animals are four-legged. However, the Moro-
kanth tribe invert this; the people are four- legged and the ani- mals are two-legged. The Morokanth herd humanoid beasts known as gern (herd- men). The gern have the intelligence and in- stincts of beasts, while the Morokanth speak and interact as people. Despite the occasional insults of the other tribes, the Morokanth do not eat people, only gern; when other tribes capture gern, they are treated as herd beasts and may be eaten (although there is often some discomfort about doing so). The two- legged/four-legged division also breaks down among the Bolo Lizard and Ostrich riders, whose mounts are two-legged animals. The people of Waha are bound to treat the beasts of Eiritha according to proscribed forms that include how to herd them, where to graze them, and how to kill and eat them.
Those outside the Yassa are always, at all times, legitimate targets of violence. The only considerations applied in normal cir- cumstances are whether it is prudent and useful to attack them or trade with them at a particular moment. Outsiders are seen as a resource to be exploited; their property can be taken to enrich the individual or the sept, they themselves can be killed or enslaved, and they can be bargained with for things that the Praxians cannot produce themselves. They can be lied to, cheated, and stolen from. About the only restrictions are that they cannot be killed on sacred ground (because Praxians are forbidden to engage in violence there) and they cannot be eaten (because they are not food, although the Morokanth have a way around that). Praxians have no concept of ‘giving their word’ to non-Praxians; such a concept only applies to interactions between Praxians. Indeed, Praxian culture celebrates clever trickery of non-Praxians, who are normally understood to be stupid, ar- rogant, and useless.

I also came across those fascinating paragraphs when I Googled "Oho Wahano". Good stuff!

I think everything that's canon in Jeff and Greg's Glorantha(s) is fair game to be changed by us in this campaign of Our Golden Prax Glorantha. The business about Praxians not needing to keep their word to outsiders to me makes the Honor affinity kind of complicated/non-intuitive in comparison to our world.

Thanks for that Norijia.  I had to look up Oho Wahano too  :P

I don't think those paragraphs are canon, but rather are from a fanzine.  But interesting in fleshing out how Waha taught Praxians to survive in the Wastes.

I don't have any problem with anything written there, except that personally I'd interpret the last paragraph to mean: Praxians can behave however they want to those outside Yassa, but that doesn't mean that they're always going to attack, exploit, etc every foreigner.  Just that they can do so without it being considered dishonourable.  They might be more civil towards, for example, followers of Lightbringer/Air cults.  And Lemak, as a Storm Bull cultist, might be more civil to Zorak Zorani.  But they'd generally distrust any outsider, knowing that that person doesn't follow the same code set down by Waha.



I love this line  :P

Even I have the Honour passion, but I don't see it as being quite the same sort of 'Are you looking at my pint?' honour that Orlanth and Humacti may be blessed with. There's a pacifist / honest broker slant to it. and the whole medical-ethics /patient-confidentiality package

Sorry, should have checked before using the term and posted a reference here. As for canon, of course what is canon has changed over the years too :)

It's a great expression, I think we all enjoyed getting to learn about it from Mabwe's  IC reaction.

No offence intended with the introduction jibe, Thangar. My character is annoyed that Lemak ignored her hint on etiquette, and taking it out on someone she considers less volatile. I don't think anybody knows Thangar's name yet though, (unless I've missed something).

:D

Thangar, I wasn't sure of your meaning here, whether you referring to the fact that the man would normally ride a horse, or that he's riding a zebra.

Since you're new to Glorantha, in Prax, zebras are effectively seen as completely different from horses, so zebras are accepted, but horses are taboo.

Vorrik has all but said that he bought the zebra because he was told it would handle like a horse. He seems to have come from the direction of the River of Cradles Sun County (where I don't think horses are that common), but he may originate from some other Sun Dome temple where they train with horses.

Yeah, I posted that message above, I re-read the IC thread and figured Thangar's comment being about Vorrik being someone who'd normally ride horses.  I considered deleting my post, but didn't.

Sorry Thangar.  RQ/Glorantha has so much history/background that I don't want to be "that guy" who's nitpicking.  Looks like I didn't read the IC thread carefully enough.  I'll try to avoid such posts in future  :)

Just checking does the sable come to us or just close enough for Norajia to see the clan markings.

It comes wandering over to your group.

Hmm, wish I knew more about animal behavior :)

Itsa herd animal so likely comes looking for another Sable.

Looks like Norajia moved too soon. I interpreted Lemak riding by the sable in msg 86 as meaning it was Chaos-free.
I won't try to rewind the post, though it makes her look more ditzy and impetuous that I intended.

On the plus side,
so let's assume that she has done that and avoided any items returning positive.

Well, I don't think scorpionmen are as likely to have diseases as broo anyway.  (If this was the work of a scorpionman.)
Or I was wondering whether Norijia was going to trust in her skills as healer  :)

She makes a pretty good healer: high CON to resist disease and +10 to knowledge skills to help treat it. Her weakness is low POW for Resurrection and Fight Disease Rune spells (which she hasn't selected). Still POW gain rolls at Holydays and things... these might improve over time.

Nice, some combat  :)
Against Chaos!
Will post a few hours' time.

Hi folks, re: Combat pace-if I know your character's intentions, I will wait to roll for you for at least 24 hours, but I may need to go ahead and roll for your characters after that. Please let me know if you don't want that, I just feel that this will help keep things moving.
Also, I think if you roll to attack, parry, cast a spell, etc rolling hit location and damage would be good to have "just in case".

Yes let's turn the combat rounds over reasonably swiftly, mostly it's common sense, unless someone needs urgent. healing or thinks a a spell that might help.

Happy to provide intent and keep things rolling.

As an afterthought: Norajia's mount is probably not trained for battle (nor are those she's leading?)

(When) / Should she be making a 'ride' roll?

Good questions, I'd say only if Norajia tries something dramatic. The mounts do not like the looks of the scorpion man or that it's getting closer, but only if she tries to gallop up the side of the enclosure or something does she need to roll, otherwise she has good control of the mounts.

Sounds reasonable, I'll roll if a scorpion man gets within strike range, or Norajia tries to move her mount within it's range (e.g. to heal somebody) or she tries to get them out of the gully.

Actually, talking about our mounts, can (or would) Lobber attack as well?  Or would the animal be too spooked by Chaos?

In reply to Lemak (msg # 66):
My take is that he'd have to be a "war animal" instead of a "riding animal" to help in this way

No worries  :)
Or perhaps if the animal was not bearing a rider and was under attack itself.

I don't see where the scorpion man with Lemak and Tuari had its attack...?



I don't have the rules with me atm, but that sounds about right.  Melee only has one attack per round, but missile weapons might allow multiple attacks.



Subject to what the scorpion man does/causes in round 2, Lemak attacks with his dagger axe again.

Ah thanks, I knew I forgot something. He swings his club and misses.

Norajia will try to monitor both combats (head on swivel time) and if anyone is incapacitated she will release the spare mounts and ride to the rescue and try to lead their mount out of melee (or if they are dismounted, drag/carry them by an arm to avoid their head bumping along the ground). Assuming she doesn't fail her ride roll...

In reply to Norajia (msg # 71):

Got it!

So Mabwe has Morokanth Martial Arts skill being a Morokanth and all that (not high). I thought it might be fun to throw that in, but whilst I can picture it, I don't know how that fits in system wise, I mean what effect a success has?

In reply to Mabwe (msg # 73):

That's interesting, so it looks like if you just make a normal claw roll and if you roll below your martial arts skill on an unarmed attack roll, you get double damage (only normal damage bonus though) as a natural outcome of your expertise.

Cool, just have to make a success in our now...

House rule for experience gains-

I’ve been thinking that the experience checks only once per season are too restrictive for me, especially in this campaign.

I think maybe the rationale for this change was that the characters are already starting out pretty powerful compared to the townsman of RQ2 sallying forth with 15% to parry and running into a great troll or dinosaur.

Let’s go with the olde tymee rules for training in this campaign, you can make POW and experience rolls if you rest for a week. We’ll still use the 1d6-1% or 3% instead of the generous 5% of RQ2 though.

Good idea in my opinion, things can be slower in pbw.

Sounds fine to me  :)

Yeah no worries 3% it is :)

Re Tuari's IC request, the only thing I can find is in RQII Lords of Terror - Malia
"Cleansing Disease Tainted Items:
...Persons coming into contact with or close proximity to infected items are exposed to infection  and possession disease.
...Sometimes the value of an infected object justifies difficult and laborious cleansing rituals (see Tree Disease).
Cleansing an item takes a full week Each item must be cleansed separately even in the case of multiple small items such as coins or pieces of armour. The [cleansing] character does not  need to watch the item the entire time but it must be kept in the same location, and so a nomad must settle down for a week.
Every culture has it's own cleansing rituals related to their mythology and special disease foes. The item must be buried, washed and go through various other processes; amongst humans the process always involves heat or fire so wood and porous materials rarely survive the cleansing process. At the end f the week the person must attempt to make their Treat Disease skill roll. If they succeed the item is cleansed, if they fail the item is not cleansed and the infection sprits on the object may attack the character.
Multiple items may be treated in the week but each must be rolled for separately. Once a roll has failed for one item all subsequent rolls for the week will fail and all the infection spirits may attack the character. Successfully cleansing an item drives all infection spirits from the object. Even it if is infected with more than one type of disease.
Exorcism of bound spirits requires other more involved rituals."

However the RQG book does say
"An initiate of Chalana Arroy can identify the presence of disease in a person or thing simply through concentration."

So it is quick to discover where disease infection is present but dealing with it is protracted.

Of course there might not be disease spirits. Chaotics don't necessarily worship Malia and for that matter worshippers of Malia don't have to be Chaotic.

Absolutely, Broos are Malia initiates but other chaotics need not be.

I'm able to tell when there are no diseases connected to an item either by Possession or Infection sprits. That is, if infection mini-multi-spirits are still a thing in RQG. They used to act on physical contact rather than by spirit combat.

Wasn't sure what the process was in RQG but if you can check them then that's probably what Tuari is after.  Given how he feels about the Sable tribe it's also a safe way he can talk to Norajia.

Best head for Day's Rest and hope for the best?

Sorry to be a calendar nerd, but can you tell us the date ?  If people have a high holy day in the next few days they may be more inclined to rest at the oasis rather than move on.

I think you said that the day before reaching the Block was in Death week of Earth Season
The last day of Death week is a Waha minor holy day
The following week (Fertility) has an Eiritha High holy day on the third day and a Chalna Arroy minor holiday on the sixth day
The third day of the week after (Stasis) is a Stormbull minor holy day.
The fourth day of the following week(Movement) is an Orlanth minor holy day
We should probably try to fit our travelling in between these festivals if possible, to be around more worshipers and maybe a god talker who can lead the worship more effectively that we can on our own.

The prologue may have created some confusion about the season/week/day thing.
I wish there was a more seamless way to search old messages a la Google or Spotlight.
So this might be a retcon-
You arrive at Days Rest in Fire season, Death Week, Godday early in the wee hours of the morning.

Right on Waha's holy day, that's this day sorted and waiting for the following week so Norajia can pay homage to CA and E.

I assumed that:

1. there were other Waha worshippers of a higher status (for Waha it is shaman who are the priests)
2. they would allow a morokanth stranger to join their ceremonies.

Of course this may not be the case and if it is not then Mabwe will lead his own ceremony.

At an oasis I would expect some seniors of the current controlling clan to be leading the Waha and Eirtha ceremonies. There may or may not be a Chalana priestess or initiate resident.
I'm assuming everyone is keen to have their animals blessed by Eiritha so if you want Norajia will make the arrangements and take them along. I'm not sure how close the men get to the ceremony, since it's a high holy day they are probably around as lay members at least.

I should have mentioned the scorpion-man venom in the IC post. Since Norajia's skills in alchemy are relatively low, if there are other healers at Day's rest she ought to offer it to them to make the antidote and hope that they give her back a portion of the results if successful.

Yes, but whether they would let other clans join, let alone a morokanth, that is the question.

On a holy day they might just want to show off their dominion of the oasis and settle for making a fistfull of thumb jokes. Then again who even wants to piss off someone who looks like a shaman?

19:42, Today: Norajia rolled 17 using 1d10+10.  experience check Insight (Human) 30.

No change there then

Sorry, I've been unwell the past few days and will hope to catch up tonight or tomorrow.

In reply to Lemak (msg # 93):

Sorry to hear, hope you're feeling better!

You only rolled a d10

07:44, Today: Norajia rolled 24 using 1d100+10 with rolls of 14.  Insight (Human) exp ch

Third time , uh, unlucky.

On topic of shrines, there are shrines but not temples for: Waha, Chalana Arroy, Eiritra, and Storm Bull.
Please add modifiers for those in your worship rolls.
There used to be a shrine for Orlanth  but that's been desecrated by the Lunies!

OK, so if there's a shrine then scratch the Axis Mundi, no need to cast it.

Mabwe would want to ensure success on this holy day and in front of so many inferior humans, so...

Shrine = +0
MP sacrifice 9 = +70%
Worship skill 25%

21:38, Thu 09 July: Mabwe rolled 20 using 1d100.  Worship Waha (25).

or could re-use the Axis Mundi roll

18:01, Today: Mabwe rolled 3 using 1d100.  Man rune (90) - cast Axis Mundi.

Actually, I'll go with the cinematic here, keep the Axis Mundi so they can have a full congregation of living and many Morokanth spirits too

:D

Sorry for the delay in posting.

Lemak will sacrifice MP for both high holy days.  (And I'll post about him worshipping at the Storm Bull shrine as well).
But I'll need to check up the details about worship and MP sacrifice in RQ:G.

Will also get around to doing experience rolls when I have more time (probably the weekend).  Thanks for the note about experience rolls in RQ:G, Gargle!

Don't forget about the addition MPs to get your worship up to 95%, you think 90% ought to be ample then you roll 94... Not even an automatic fail / fumble.

I wondered about pressing on, but since it was Eiritha's Holy Week it seemed like there might be a better argument for staying, and some people picking up their experience rolls.

Thanks for the tip Norijia.  Myself, I have nothing against a week's rest and hopefully increasing some skills  :)  But IC, I felt Lemak would've wanted to press on, particularly since there was no Storm Bull high holy day that week  :P

Sorry for the delays, I'll try to move the scene along in the next 1-2 days.

No worries, I haven't had time to roll for experience checks.  And just realised I forgot to post about Lemak's worship at the Storm Bull shrine too.  I'll get around to that over the next couple of days.  Have been busy catching up with work (after being sick).

I kind of wish they'd called it 'A Hard Day's Rest'

Sorry all life has been getting in the way of gaming as it does.  I'll try to catch up in the next day or two, covid seems to be hitting our area again and it's been busy busy at work.

In reply to Tuari (msg # 105):

Thanks Tuari, I hope you and the rest of our players and their loved ones are keeping safe during these very difficult times!

A couple notes-

1. We may have a new player joining soon. I'll advance the scene tomorrow with an updated crude map.

2. You guys may want to look through and make experience rolls if you haven't already, I think Norajia did a couple of things in the Prologue and Tuari used his broadsword and Lemak his dagger axe.

In reply to Gargle (msg # 106):

I only did an experience check for the thing that Gargle told me to tick, There was some treat poison and singing in the prologue maybe the treat poison rates a roll. the singing wasn't really in a critical context.

{edit - checked Treat Poison: no increase}

A couple housekeeping items:
1. I'm moving Thangar to NPC mode, at their player's request. Thangar will still accompany the party.
2. Everyone please welcome Vorrik, who is switching from an NPC to a new PC!

Ha that would be excellent!

Hello new Vorrik, welcome to the crew :)

Interesting, I hope NewVorrik finds slumming with the beastly nomads as thrilling as OldVorrik did.
If you want some pointers on dealing with that zebra, well, none of us actually know how to ride it, but we can help look after it for you. Maybe there'll be a Pavis Survivor somewhere you can get training from.

Sorry, over the past week, I've been busy for one half and without internet for the other half.  I'll have time tomorrow to get up to speed and post...

In the meantime, hi Vorrik  :)

I haven't time to do my experience rolls yet but will do so this weekend.  GM, should I just roll for those items you specifically mentioned?  Or any where I've made a roll and succeeded?

Also, things have moved on since the oasis, so I won't bother with posting about Lemak worshipping at the shrine to Storm Bull...

In reply to Lemak (msg # 113):

Feel free to roll to raise anything you used successfully

I'm happy for any conversations or other actions involving your characters to be told as flashbacks or retcons. It might be easiest to make those as new threads if you like, but I don't think our story needs to be completely linear.
I do feel I need to keep the main thread of the story moving along with at least a couple or three posts a week (some weeks that's easier than others!), even if not every player is able to weigh in. But I don't think anybody should feel that they missed an opportunity to do something because they weren't available, although I guess if all the broos are already dead it might be late to get out the old self bow :)

Nice song, Norijia  :)

And I finally got around to do my experience rolls.

Yeah, I really have to step up my poetry game if I am going to participate in this game. Don't worry, though. After thinking about it over the weekend I remembered this awesome Persian poem about the desert thorn asking the wind to say hello to the rain for her. I'll figure out a way to adapt that feeling in the poem to my Sun Dome Templar...

Ha ha, a few of us may have caught the bug from an earlier game run by Iskallor. I'm not sure I'd call my efforts poetry, but I like a rhyme...

Yeah, trying to compose songs, chants, prayers is challenging, but in a good way  :)

Sorry, I'm still not familiar with RQG rules (as opposed to RQ2).  Do we have to roll to cast spirit magic successfully in RQG?  And I don't have my RQG rules with me atm.  If I succeed, I assume I still have to succeed on a POW v POW roll against the rider for the disruption spell to cause damage?

In reply to Lemak (msg # 120):

Right on both counts, successful casting of sprit magic requires a POWx5 roll (even bladesharp) and rune magic requires rolling under the appropriate rune affinity.
For offensive magic there's also overcoming the target's POW.

Thanks, GM  :)
13:46, Today: Lemak rolled 8 using 1d100.  Cast spirit magic: disruption.
Success in casting the spell!

I don't know the parasite/rider's POW, but POW resistance roll is:
13:48, Today: Lemak rolled 16 using 1d100.  Disruption spell: POW resistance roll.
Hopefully that's a success.  If not, we're up at against something very tough...  :P
13:49, Today: Lemak rolled 3 using 1d3.  Disruption spell damage.
3 HP of damage!
13:50, Today: Lemak rolled 7 using 1d20.  Disruption spell hit location.
In case a hit location is required for the damage.

I was away for a couple of days, but it looks like Norajia got the spell off with an even chance of the resistance roll succeeding, unless it's a very magical Glyptodon.

16:50, Today: Norajia rolled 51 using 1d100.  Sleep spell POW resistance roll.
16:42, Today: Norajia rolled 26 using 1d100.  Cast spirit magic Sleep (Glyptodon) POWx5.

We are off camping for a week, now that the heatwave has been replaced by storms and rain here in old Blighty :(

Phone access only and that assumes that there's a signal, so don't wait for me.

In reply to Mabwe (msg # 124):

Have a good time, Mabwe! Camping sounds like a great idea and way to stay safe, especially if there are no giant chaos ticks.

Have fun, Mabwe!



I did wonder if the tick was a chaos creature.  Was the red colour supposed to link it to the Red Moon...?  :P
Can Lemak try Sense Chaos...?

All pitched, soaking wet. Acceptable mobile signal :)

Go on, try sense chaos, what's the worst that can happen

He fumbles and senses Chaos in nearest friend?

That is partly arteestic license but the tick is red and glowing, kind of like the Red Moon.

I will start paying attention to strike ranks again in the IC thread after this initial narrative part of the encounter...

12:18, Today: Norajia rolled 98 using 1d100.  Cast spirit magic Sleep (Glant tick) POWx5.

I don't see any indication of what happens if you fumble the Spellcasting Ability roll (P245), so I shall assume that it's no worse than failing the roll

You know that as a CA, if you sleep something you are duty bound to see that no harm comes to it whilst the spell is in effect.

Could get difficult.

Hence my move towards the Glyptodont

Better yet

SLEEP
If the caster overcomes the target's POW the target falls into a deep sleep for the duration of the spell [10 rounds = 2 minutes]. The target only awakens if injured or if a hostile spell is targeted on them

Neither of which I can condone, so it's human shield time.

Get to work on those ticks boys.

Hahahaha  :)



Option would be to have the PC expend magic points even though there's no effect?  (I'm not demanding this happen, but just making a suggestion for flavour.  Of course, if we roll a critical, it would be nice if we get a bonus in return  :P  )

In reply to Lemak (msg # 133):

That's the result in case of fumbled Rune magic (losing the rune points), but my take on the RAW is that spirit magic is pretty binary, it works or it don't.

I hope Mabwe's tent's still there. It's rained a lot today

Thanks for the folks who have posted their actions for he first combat round. For the rest of you, there is still time! I will post tomorrow and then will try to post a round per day until either our heroes or the ticks are vanquished.

Don't know about his, but we survived storm Ellen with no leaks. First time in our new bell tent, had frame tents before. Very impressed with the resilience of what is basically a very traditional old design. Very comfortable too under proper canvas, though when it comes to packing it wet I may not think so highly ;)

Next camping trip tomorrow morning to Wednesday.

I think you'll need to make a ride roll for Tauri to see if he can make the zebra enter.

Nice article...

http://ruleonemagazine.com/Iss12/GhostPlaces.php

I've got the list of forbidden places, giant places, spirit places and high places from Tales of the Reaching Moon 14 at home, but I don't think Winter Ruins is on it.

In reply to Mabwe (msg # 140):

Very cool.

By the way, one question mostly for Tuari: as you mosey along, how frequently do you want to feed the Bone? (in hours/days/kilometers or whatever unit you prefer?)

I think it depends on what it's doing, if it is constantly in one direction then once or twice a day.  If it looks like our target is moving that will change things.

In reply to Tuari (msg # 144):

Perfect. It does not seem to be moving (at least during the times you are using the bone).

Moving to Scene 2.

Just thought: if we have to dig/shift a lot sand/soil, will an air elemental help?  Or is an air elemental only going to blow off loose sand, and an earth elemental really needed for such a task?

Lemak can summon an air elemental but not an earth one  :P

In reply to Lemak (msg # 146):



Not a bad idea! However... Lemak remembers a story of one of his tribesmen who was hunting down some bandits and got too close to the Dead Place, their magic worked here but they were never able to recover the rune points they expended.

What a sad story  :(

I'd forgotten about the effect of the Dead Place on magic...

New question  :P
What the party uncovers, I assume it's made of earth rather than metal.  Just checking cos the image posted to the IC thread seems a bit shiny...

In reply to Lemak (msg # 148):

I think even in canon there are a couple different descriptions for how magic works/doesn't work in the Dead Place.

I can describe the surface a bit more, the photo only gives so much info since I am not a graphic designer... I'll put this in the IC thread real quick.

Modesty has STR 23, the other sable should be STR 3D6+12

(You don't think that Lobber alone is strong enough to lift the plate but that the combined lifting of the party and animals should be able to heave it open)

I suggest we order them by size : Lobber, Odina, Modesty Lucky and the Striped Devil and Thangar's Impala

Sorry, was busy over the weekend and then sick the last couple of days...

In reply to Lemak (msg # 153):

No worries, hope you're feeling better!

Better thanks  :)  Monday was particularly bad  :(

Sorry was very busy the past few days and didn't realise a lot had happened in game.

Not sure if it translates to Morokanth but tapirs apparently have 4 digits on the front feet and three on the back. The first three are symmetrical with the middle one being largest. The fourth is set further back on the outside of the foot but still makes contact with the ground.

A claw, not claws, Norajia being the quick inside the claw :)


    ^
   /|\
    -

Yeah, happy with the arrangement just plumbing the depths of my xeno-anatomical ignorance.


Phwar! what a set of plates, eh?

Haha, yes when I think of morokanth, I think of tapirs.

How big are the holes in the floor?

Could Mabwe fit through one?

His foot would barely fit in one, they are deep but not wide.

A propos of nothing; Does Extension no longer work on spirit magic spells? The entry seems very clearly to talk only of extending rune magic. Apart from shamans (a few of whom may gain an extension special ability) is there any way of extending the duration of spirit magic now?

Nice song, Norijia  :)

As to your question about Extension, the Official Q&A also doesn't mention spirit magic, only temporary Rune spells.  I guess it just applies to Rune spells...
https://wellofdaliath.chaosium...apter-14-rune-magic/

If I do ever manage to overcome its POW and send it to sleep please remember any further damage wakes it up (as well as pissing off Chalana Arroy). I'd hate to permanently lose 3 MP for nothing.

In reply to Norajia (msg # 165):

The dice roller is not treating you guys well. Maybe for the best in this case!

I seem to have inadvertently repeated my spell casting roll just now by some page refresh error. Since the next round is not underway I suggest we ignore it and I roll afresh if necessary.

In reply to Norajia (msg # 167):

Sounds good

Hoping to hear back from a player that I need to roll something, if not I'll advance the round later today in any case.

Mabwe will of course not strike if the thing falls asleep in front of him.

I'm back!  Sorry storms wiped out the internet here at the hotel I'm staying in.  Sorry for the delay I'll catch up now.

Good to have you back Tauri.

You may not be aware, but when a Chalana Arroy casts sleep on someone, then that person is under the protection of the CA. If you then attack that person it is considered as bad as attacking the CA, don't expect to get healed by a CA until you atone.

We don't know if he's affected yet. He'd have to have very high POW not to be, but you never know.

At least I didn't burn 3 MP to the Dead place for a terrible POW vs POW roll. I guess Norajia can now claim to have aided the Bull in a tiny way, as presumably the lost MPs go via Eiritha to Stormbull in the God time. I'm hoping my POW is unaffected but my max MPs are now POW -3 ?

I think you get a chance to pull any intended attacks that would come at a later SR than the spell effect?

The readied, successful spell gets launched at Norajia's DEX SR  (2).
I don't want to ham handedly override Tuari's player's stated action, but will given them a little time to restate or confirm that Tuari wants to attack the unconscious creature.

Yeah I was working on the basis we didn't know if the spell worked.  Tuari would always abort an attack if a healer had put a creature to sleep.

Hello, I will be playing Hamkil, a faithful hunter of Foundchild

Hi Hamkil
I didn't just sleep your character did I?

I don't know. Haven't read the in character threads yet. Still at char creation.

Hamkil is not that scaly!

Welcome Hamkil  :)
The more the merrier!



Haha, I was wondering the same thing.

Welcome Hamkil, the big question is what SIZ he is ;)

Hello and welcome.

Hamkil will join you guys when and if you emerge from the underground chamber.

Sorry for not doing much character creation yesterday. There was an ugly earthquake here in Greece. I plan to finish Hamkil in the weekend.

Yikes, so sorry to hear that, stay safe!
I try to avoid the news with the upcoming US election so I had no idea that was happening.
This message was last edited by the GM at 01:20, Sat 31 Oct 2020.

Hope you and your family are okay in Greece, Hamkil.



Haha.  That must be hard avoiding the news.

My -10% modifier due to lack inspiration lasts for the duration of the interaction with the Dragonewt

Isn't it -20 for a failed inspiration?

It says -10% on all further rolls in this situation in my RQG P236, but it's still an ordinary failure on this oratory skill roll either way.

An ordinary success gives +20% to one ability for the duration of the task or situation,
A special success gives +30% to one  ability
A critical success gives +50% to one ability

Oh, sorry you are using a passion rather than a rune for inspiration, that's my mistake :)

Out of interest, what Tradetalk skill do other characters have? Norajia has 20%+5% communication bonus

Still a 50% chance of misunderstanding unless the other participant's Trade talk is higher

I think Norajia's is highest! Definitely don't want to discuss nuances of theology in this language.
I'd say that keeping the words to a 4 year old level is fine.

"That would be an ecumenical matter"

I love it when rpgs actually enforce foreign language rules instead of the binary speaks/doesn't speak language.

Norajia is much more fluent than Lemak  :P

Tuari knows a smattering at best

I probably should have rolled for talking to the dragonewt, but since I didn't know whether his Tradetalk might be more than Norajia's I left it to the GM to determine... If one side of a conversation has 50% in the language there's no risk of misunderstanding.

From the style of his reply it looks like a pretty minimal level, but at least we've picked up two words of Elder Wyrmish

There's no wistful like a wistful Morocanth. Maybe someone will have a spare; the Shaman ought to get some perks

In reply to Norajia (msg # 198):

The Wistful Morokanth sounds like a great name for an inn in Pavis.
I don't think I'd try the chef's special though.

Haha, true.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with the Gern stew! And you are helping keep vagrants off of the streets of Pavis at the same time >)

I don't understand what the last sentence describes. What patterns? Maybe Norajia needs to IC this uncertainty?

In reply to Norajia (msg # 202):

Yeah, I was pretty mentally and emotionally exhausted when I wrote that :)

But please investigate IC, it's a little hard with Norajia's lamp to make out the details.

I'm assuming either Tuari and/or Lemak will try to dismantle the blanket/branch assembly since Norajia and Mabwe and the Dragonewt have their hands occupied and Vorrik is suspiciously eyeing the Dragonewt.
If Tuari or Lemak can weigh in that would help, otherwise I'll draft somebody so we can move the story along.

Sorry, I'm often away from a computer on weekends and so don't post often then.

I seem to be misspelling utuma as utumna. Do you want me to leave it as a foible of Norajia's ? or shall I correct it?

I have the odd failing with Gloranthan spelling, I had to confess after Jeff Richard posted about the name 'Mo Baustra', being based on Mike O'Brien (Australia) that I'd been spelling it 'Mo Bastura' for thirty years. Mike said that was the way they spelled in in Pavis.

Pavis is one of those words everyone says differently, we had three different versions at the same table in my last ftf group.

I have a feeling I've been spelling your name as "Norijia" instead of "Norajia" for a long time...  :(



Yeah, I noticed different pronunciations.  I've always pronounced it with a short "A" sound, not a long vowel.

Since it's all phonetic and what you heard from the lipless, split tongued Dragonewt's wyrmish, I think there's no need to edit it.
Maybe that's what the Dragonewt found so hilarious?

My gaming group and I always pronounced the first syllable of Pavis like the word "pay". I was surprised to learn that most gamers (and JR) pronounced it differently.

I'm the same Payvis or sometimes Payvee for fun

I caught myself writing 'Noragia' at one point too. I stole it from Egajia so it should be a 'j'.

I've always used the short-a Pavis (like haggis, assuming you pronounce haggis the way I do).

Same in my group (when I was in a face to face group). Thing about playing online is we are all using our own pronunciations and all "correct". How enlightening, Illuminating one might say :)

I misspelled Thangar as Tuari, sorry

I assumed as much... even if he was a giant impala rider there would be no mistaking him and Tuari.

Sorry for being offline for a couple of days. We have a second lockdown here in greece and it takes its toll on my mental health.

No worries, Hamkil.
I sent you a PM.
Take care and we'll look forward to you playing when we can.

Yes, take care of yourself.

...and sorry we haven't got ourselves moving to encounter your character yet

Sorry to hear that Hamkil  :(
Hope things get better for you and for Greece soon.

GM, can Lemak tell roughly how much time appears to have passed given the sky has changed?
14:02, Today: Lemak rolled 47 using 1d100.  Survival.
Pretty sure another failure  :P

Uh, I probably won't get a chance to read people's posts and then post IC until later today...

OK so how long will it take us to get to

Moonbroth on foot then the block mounted
The Bloock on foot
The winter ruins then Moonbroth

Given all but Mabwe are used to being mounted I expect 4 to 5 days for either Moonbroth or the ruins probably most of the season to walk to the blaock.

In reply to Tuari (msg # 221):

You figure about 10 km to Winter Ruins if you choose to go there; 40 km to Moonbroth Oasis, and 80 km back to the Block.
To the Dragon road...?
Carrying the object is pretty slow going, a bit like carrying a sofa. I'd say you can carry that... 15 km/day.

Given we probably haven't walked more than a mile at a time in our lives 15kms seems optimistic but you are the GM :)

Who has Varantas right now?  Tuari is going to go to Moonbroth unless someone can give a reason not to.  He's not going to abandon Ondari.

In reply to Tuari (msg # 223):

I assume that Tuari again has the bone, but I think it was last described shocking the paw of Mabwe.

I am good now. The bout of depression is over. Will proceed with Char gen.

Welcome back, I hope you enjoy the char gen, I find it one of the fun parts of a RQG game (for generating backstory and character attitudes).

Maybe I went a bit far sinking +20 personal skill points on Manage Household because my CA character was left with 3 siblings and 2 cousins to raise...

Good to hear you're better now, Hamkil  :)

Tuari is all for waiting the mounts to arrive, I suspect we will travel a lot faster and Mabwe may wake up.

The second roll on devise was inadvertent

Just posted to the IC thread.  Sorry for the delay.  Been busy the past few days.

I'm assuming Mabwe told us about the lone rider he saw in the night  :)

Hi Hamkil,
I see on the news there's a curfew with the lockdown in Greece now.

I hope things are not too bad with you, and you get to join us eventually.
All the best
Norajia

Hope you're okay, Hamkil, and hope to see you here soon  :)

On RQG news, out now from Chaosium:
https://www.chaosium.com/the-red-book-of-magic-pdf/

I'll buy it, but have no idea when I'll have time to read it...

Its a full list of Rune spells and Spirit magic spells.

In the PDF that I see (on my mac) and at lest one other BasicRoleplying forum user sees, the Runes for the spells com out wrong. e.g what should be earth shows as harmony, what should be magic shows as Dark earth, what should be fire/sky shows as Moon. Another Basic roleplaying user sees the correct Runes though, so I wonder if it is OS dependent in some was in the PDF

It's not a font-install thing the characters I see in the PDF are not part of any font that I have installed.

Apparently it looks OK in some PDF viewer applications (Acrobat, Good Reader) but not others (Skim, PDFExpert, Preview, iBooks, Chrome)

In reply to Norajia (msg # 235):

I don't understand computers, but it seems really odd for it to swap in the wrong rune instead of just displaying nothing or gobbledygook.
Trickster magic?

Interesting.  I figured it would be related to font, or at least they have linked the images to certain characters...?

Anyway, I hope they fix the issue (and any typos etc) before the hardcopies are printed  :)

The PDF format is incredible diverse and rather complicated, the definition document is a tomb in itself (I used to work for a company that produced document management and produced a tool to reverse engineer PDFs and add in a text layer from OCR, or swap images for higher compression version).

I suspect that the rune font is embedded within the PDF, if it was added as a font, or as images. Either way, the PDF spec allows the use of pointers to characters/images, rather than repeating them in location (saves on size) and what you see is in fact normally an interpretation of a load of data, i.e. only in very simple PDFs is a character/image actually there in the place on the page that you see it, rather the reader is displaying it there after interpreting everything.

My guess is that either the PDF isn't quite to spec, or the readers are not quite interpreting the spec properly.

Hi gang--starting up Scene 3 as we move to the home stretch!

For the combat with the outlaws, also please roll attacks and parries, just in case :)

Wishing you all a healthy and safe holiday!

Are we still attached to the scale?

In reply to Tuari (msg # 241):
If you like we can say you released the bindings when you were preparing for the convergence of the two groups.

Just in case : 08:10, Today: Norajia rolled 3 using 1d100.  Dodge.

Merry Christmas Folks

Yes, I'd like to think that once it appeared the two groups were linked and getting close, we would have stopped to detach the scale.

Merry Christmas all

Hope you all had a great Christmas day yesterday!

I will advance the scene Sunday, if I haven't heard otherwise I will assume your characters continue in the same action as in the first round, to keep things moving.
Hope you are all enjoying the holidays!

Merry Christmas to everyone. Sorry I'm out in the country and have limited internet access. I might not be able to post until Thursday...

In reply to Lemak (msg # 248):

Merry Christmas and stay safe!
I hope it's okay if I assume Lemak keeps chopping with his dagger axe.

Oh I see what you mean!

Create bonfire looks like you use a Moon rune in preview (which is my favored, less clunky application) but a fire/sky rune in acrobat, which makes more sense.

The Mostali have nilmerged it

I'll plan to post the next combat round tomorrow, please let me know your plans if you haven't already, otherwise I'll assume that you attack the nearest target.

Happy New Year all.

I guess that's still applicable, even with the state of things. Vaccine production will be ramping up.

Sorry, ended up being away from a computer for about a week.
Lemak continues his attack on the leader.

Happy New Year to everyone  :)

Lemak, the description says the troll is dead, might want to head after the Lunar horseman instead?

D'oh!  Thanks for pointing that out, Mabwe  :)
Yes, I think given Lemak's position, it would make most sense for him to continue forward towards the two horse riders.

I'll edit my last IC post.
This message was last edited by the player at 06:54, Tue 05 Jan 2021.

One horse rider, Tuari and Ondina killed the horse last turn.  Filthy animals.

I was sure I would never need to consult the extensive "chase" rules in Runequest Glorantha, especially in a PBP game, but the Lunar horse is running.

If you want to give chase please make a couple riding rolls : )

With a little luck the horse might be easier to catch now. Horse meat all around :)

D'oh!  I missed that too!
Well, seeing as Tuari is chasing the remaining horse (and rider), Lemak will focus on the fallen horse rider.

Edited my IC post.  Again.

Once Belina has accepted first aid for 5 combat rounds I can roll 1D3+3 for HP recovery (critical skill roll)

I hope things may return to more of an even keel over there .

How big is the dragon scale?  Can we place Vorrik on it and drag him along with the scale?  I presume the Klanth is too big to lay on the scale...?

We better round up some animals :)

Vorrik would definitely fit on the scale although he may fall off if you don't devise something like a travois.
The dragonewt might fit alternatively.
You could throw Vorrik's body over one of the mounts, which might seem a little undignified... but he is dead after all.
Throwing the Dragonewt would be tougher and he'd be a heavy load.
If you want to round up the outlaws' mounts you can do that.

Also--everybody roll 1d3+1 for REPUTATION for ridding the plains of Kuldaral and his odious group of outlaws.

Reputation what?

In reply to Tuari (msg # 267):
Reputation in the new Runequest is its own thing, a measure of a character's notoriety.
It's on the lower right side of the character sheet.
Things like having an ancestor who fought well at a big battle, a notable marriage, or in this case, Wiping out a hated band of outlaws, brings fame to the adventurer.

Sorry I mean is it just a general reputation or something specific?

Your reputation is the sum of those parts of your history that can change it and your own actions during life that can increase or decrease it.

You can track them individually and is good to do so, so you can brag around the campfire about specifics, but it is the overall value counts.

In reply to Mabwe (msg # 270):

Right-feel free to separate the source(s) of reputation, but it ends up being a single value like "move silently"

You recovered 397 Lunars with of plunder, most of which was in Kuldaral's saddle bags.
Belina would not take a share but Thangar wants one, so it should be 79.4 L each.

I'm assuming you set up camp maybe a mile from the bodies as the darkness falls(?)

Great song, Norajia.
Shame about the singing  :P

Yep, Lobber would not be saddled.
09:15, Today: Lemak rolled 82 using 1d100.  Ride.
Lemak fails his roll check  :(

And no, Lemak wouldn't grab a brand.  His weapon is two handed.
But thanks for checking.  Things like the darkness is something people don't think about when playing, but for the PCs themselves it would be an obvious issue.

Norajia will let Belina do as she wants, and waits to see what happens in the encounter.

Sorry for the delay, will be moving things along shortly

Sorry haven't been on much, very busy at the moment with that life thingy.  Hit 50 last week, got t see my kids for the first time since October and dealing with a shemozzle of a MtG release.  Will try to catch up over the next couple of days.

Congratulations on the big 5-0, Tuari  :)
(Not too long before I reach the same milestone too...)

Hey gang, I'll be cell phone only this weekend, will try to keep up as much as possible.

I see Hamkil is still in the creation process. I'm certainly glad of the game as a temporary distraction from daily life, so I hope you will find the same.

White Lady hugs
Norajia

In reply to Norajia (msg # 280):

Thangar is hopeful his Long Winter friend Hamkil will join the party for the scorpionman hunt

Thank you for playing Golden Prax!
I'm planning on the Bonus Scene for folks who want to go fight the scorpionman.
After that, please message me about your interest in continuing (after a break and recalibration). 
This message was last edited by the GM at 19:36, Thu 25 Mar 2021.

Thank you for running this, it has been most enjoyable. I think that Mabwe's priority would be returning to his clan to help them. Possibly after trying to cleanse the holy site nearby, but likely that would have to wait too as he has a bunch of slaves to get to the clan :)

Certainly interested in any future game.

Thanks for the game, Gargle.  Interesting and fun  :)
Thanks too to everyone else for fleshing out the adventure  :)

I'm happy to join the bonus scene and any future game.

In terms of the scorpionman, Lemak would be torn between returning to his clan to check that his vision did not come to pass, and also his Storm Bull loyalties to destroy Chaos, but given that years have passed since his vision, he'd be willing to join the scorpionman hunt.

Thanks for the game mate, was fun to get Tuati out and about.

I'd be happy to continue post scorpionman hunt :)

Everybody please roll +2d3 reputation.
Next week I'll resolve some individual character threads.

That's a 3 for me :)

12:56, Today: Mabwe rolled 3 using 2d3 with rolls of 1,2.  Reputation.

Nobody remembers the healer.

13:52, Today: Norajia rolled 2 using 2d3 with rolls of 1,1.  Reputation.

Well it's a three for Tuari as well

09:27, Today: Lemak rolled 5 using 2d3 with rolls of 2,3.  Reputation.

5!  :D

I made it 2d3 because I thought the recommended 1d6 was too stingy. But the dice roller will have its way.

No complaints here, 11% chance of 2 is better than 17% chance of 1

Hi all, please keep your eyes open for Golden Prax II, I'll plan to launch the game later today or tomorrow.
Although it'll take me longer to really get my act together this will be helpful for me to keep track of the games.

In reply to Gargle (msg # 293):

FYI, Golden Prax II is now open:

I like the epilogue :)

In reply to Mabwe (msg # 295):

Thanks Mabwe, there's no way for me to know if the players have even seen a particular post. : )

Happy Sacred Time Prax family

Thanks Norajia! Hope you all have a safe and healthy new year!

I see it's been four years since I joined this game. I still visit from time to time and reread parts I am starting to forget. Since nobody can tell that in the new interface, I'll just leave this here...
I hope you are all well

In reply to Norajia (msg # 299):

Thanks Norajia!
I keep thinking about trying to kick off a Golden Prax III. The number of books that Chaosium has generated is awesome but there's not enough room in my remaining brain cells, plus the setting is so thoroughly described at this point that it's pretty intimidating.

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well!
