I'm thinking about making an alchemist (A&A formulae) as my companion.
Are there any other alchemists at the moment?

Is anyone interested in a Penitent Crusader as a companion character?

Come walk the earth with me?

In reply to Andre ex Miscellanea (msg # 177):

I like your suggestion and I have sent you a message.

It seems that Andre the itinerant warrior-mage may be joined soon by two other wandering warrior types.
A nomadic tribe (including Andre's bear) of dangerous individuals may soon be on the loose in North Africa.

In reply to Andre ex Miscellanea (msg # 179):

Is there a reason for not wanting to settle in a specific covenant? I don't know that you plan to have bring with him regarding books, silver, and vis, but is he going to carry that around with him?

This is for us to decide   ...   This is the Way.

I'm not specifically an alchemist, but I'll be quite good at it and plan to use it noticeably. However, I won't have Mythic Alchemy, so limited heavily on that side of it.

Are we allowed to assign our Companions to our own magus' covenant? I don't really have another place to put this guy.

Depends on what you want.
Some players have magus and companion at the same covenant, some split them up.

Whatever you feel like.
A smith does not seem like the hardest kind of companion to fit into a covenant.

He's fairly militant so it's really the Boarder or the Aerie. Aerie is too far out to get decent supplies and I'm at the Boarder.

I considered the wanders but it's too much equipment even if I were to have a workshop on the back of a giant tortoise or something. Actually that's not the worst idea... But still would need to work it out with them. Not sure how they are getting around.

I technically have enough Virtues sort of wobbly that I could make him a Redcap and hang with those guys. Supplying the tribunal with weapons and minor enchantments for grogs and magi.

In reply to Zahir, the Smith (msg # 185):

Plenty of Iron Ore near The Aerie:


‘Course it’s a bit of historical change to have the magi start mining it back then, not to mention fuel may be an issue until someone makes a magical forge (or whatever the correct term is for what you use processing iron ore back then) for you.

You need a smelter to extract the iron from the ore.

He can make second magnitude wondrous items right now, without deep diving for bonuses. That might be enough to smelt by magic. Certainly enough to mine by magic.

My penitant crusader Kelemen is happy to wander with a man trying to do good in the world, especially since there's an issue with the fifth crusade having caused trouble for the locals.

That said, Vespera of Tremere would be glad to hold on to any books or supplies that Andre wants in the region of Alexandria.  She hates the idea of any of his books becoming damaged or soiled by his travels.

Wherever works best, your mage's covenant or another.

It has been decided that Leander ex Flambeau, Kelemen and Andre ex Miscellanea are going to be an itinerant, wandering band of warriors for now.
Not a wandering Covenant.

This is the way.

We will come looking for a home when the time is right.

OK. I'll put them in group W for now. No, make that T for traveling since groups don't go past U.

I've look over the posts and this is what I've come to.

At the Redcap covenant:
Giovanni ex Mercere
Tello ex Merxere

at the Aerie covenanat fara into the desert (menagerie);
Qais el-Sarwar

Are there any other redcaps?

If not I'll put one third redcap into the Redcap Covenant for a total of 4.

@wanderers You should really reconsider, if only to cheese starting resources. 15 vis sources spread over the tribunal and a few super-book boons is real nice...

But it's your decision. My offer still stands from the boarder fort. It only makes sense for the Quaesitor to have good relationships with the wandering band of potential hoplites.

In reply to Brontion ex Guernicus (msg # 194):

I've not talked it over with the rest of the Redcap covenant folks, but I imagine we would be fine with putting up a pro forma sanctum for a wanderer as well.

I believe there is one at the library covenant. Hmm... Not sure. Is Marius a Redcap?

In reply to Alpha SG (msg # 196):

Dunno, but I Qais el-Sarwar started out at the Library covenant, and then decided to move the the Menagerie as the Library covenant filled up with outer magi.

In reply to Player 9 (msg # 197):

Oh, OK. I think that's where I was getting confused and thought there was a fourth rather than a third having moved. Certainly a fourth in the tribunal would be useful if you (Player 9) want to play one.

Absolutely NOT!

The very thought of it ... running around the wilderness ... delivering LETTERS of all things.
As though I don’t have better things to do with my time!
