I love my phone thinking it knows what I am typing better than I.  Lukas lived in the forest near Untergard.  If he lived near 'Interfaces' he would be better suited to Eclipse Phase or similar!

Welcome Jocelin also!  Always need a wizard :)

Hi, boys! I'm thrilled to be here to help you all with your problems since, apparently, you've gone and made a mess of things! It was beastmen, right? Tsk, Doctor-Professor Abernathy Helmusgringel wrote a treatise on beastmen infestations and it really isn't all that hard to deal with them! But that's what Altdorf is for: helping the provincials by bearing the Light of Sigurd!

If you've ever met a 24 yo sorority girl who just finished her Master's degree, I'm her archetype: compassion and condescension married to innocent cheerful optimism. Well, as innocent as you can be with a grounding in knowledge of the TERRIBLE THREAT OF THE RUINOUS POWERS.

hi Jocelin welcome to the mad house

That made me smile Jocelin :)  Optimism and cheerful innocence is quite a rare commodity in these troubled times!  It hasn't been seen in Untergard since....well, it hasn't been seen in a long time.

So a female Tasselhoff Burfoot? ;)
Welcome to the game.


DM, how long after the beastmen leaving Untergard does the adventure start?

About a week. The first three days were spent burying bodies (burning in the case of Beastmen and Mutants) and searching for survivors in the ruins. After that the town was hit by heavy storms rendering the roads more or less impassable.

The Imperial Army left the day after the battle, heading north. Nearly everyone left in Untergard is a civilian survivor or refugee, except for a few watchmen under Captain Schiller and the survivors as a whole skew disproportionately young or old and female (a lot of men either died in the fighting or went with the army.)

I've posted the IC thread to help people get an idea what is going on but I'll keep it locked for another day or so to give everyone time to finish their characters.

Fyodor arrived from the south on the last day of the battle and joined in the fray. He is now sticking around to figure out what to do next.

Greetings, Jocelin!

IC thread is up and running. You can post! :)

Edgar was in the town when the battle broke out so the little guy has seen a lot of horrors in the last few days

Thank you, Lukas! I’m going to lean into that. :D

Very nice opening posts guys, already getting a good feel for your characters. :)

Oh yes! I imagine Lukas being quite a nervous sort to start with so someone being actually positive would quite unnerve him until we all get used to each other :)

Just updated my gossip roll I actually passed it as my fel is 44 +30 is 74

Yep I was going to say that. :)

Also Fyodor you do have Gossip. Every character begins with that skill except Harkrin since it is a background skill for Humans and Halflings.

Great. Will add out to sheet.

Dwarves don't gossip. We're too busy looking for gold in the mountains. Or killing greenskins.

Please welcome our newest player Pieter Marik, Outlaw! :)

Welcome!

Yup. Welcome.

Hello Pieter!

Greetings!

Thanks for the welcome, folks! I'm sure I will be encountering you in due course on the road ;)

Rookie question: which of my stats counts towards a Perception roll? (I'm confused with the lack of Initiative, which was the basis of all 1ed perception checks.)
