The Ruby Necklace: A magical necklace of one large ruby and 4 slightly smaller garnets.
--"Firestarter" = Use at any time to ignite something easily flammable "for free."
--"Crackle" = Use Firestarter as part of a Magic roll to ignite an opponent's clothing (if the roll is successful).
--"Fwoosh" = Use 1 Fate to make a fire flare up very brightly for a moment, as bright as sunlight, blinding opponents in the area and even startling undead.
* Using "Fwoosh" causes 1 gem to seem to grow dull. Recharge 1 gem each morning at dawn. (Resting at a Haven restores all gems.)
* None of the three abilities above will work if all 5 gems are dull.

How's that?

Very nice!

Okay, copy all that onto your character sheet. BUT... all 5 stones are dull right now.

I figure it's elf-made, incidentally.

Its official NAME is not "The Ruby Necklace" --maybe someday you'll use XP to give it an official name.


Now to make sure Ronald is really okay with Carousing/charming skullcap, or if he has some new suggestion...

Thank you!

Rhyming would be more appropriate, especially as he is, a Singing Wizard.

Or a Skull Cap of Insite: has insite into where enemy are moving to, good for ranged or melee.

Okay here's what I'm leaning toward:


--The Skullcap: sized for a human or elf. At the edge of memory, gives the wearer some of the memories of previous wearers from long, long ago.
* Gives wearer the Rhyming trait if they don't already have it (no extra skill).
* Wearer may spend 1 Fate to know where one or more targets are planning to move to next.


What do you think?

Sounds good.

Is the place we are at worthy of trying to "Take Courage"?

I say: yes, you may try once before you set off--

So, 2 dice for you, because Rhyming... presuming you're fine with my write-up of the skullcap?

That is correct :-)

Sorry for delay.  This week is full of Equinox Rituals.

Take Courage Roll = 3,3.  Unsuccessful. Could I roll a Fate after the fact? (Rolled just in case, got a 4.  Still no successes.  Oh well.)

Sounds like we're ready to set off-- over the mountains, southeast to the Main Forest Road, yes?

If so... Aubree, roll 3d6 to Guide us (since you now have the Staff)!

It's almost time for bed for me, so I think I'll give you one more choice, Aubree:

Choose two allies in the coming conflict:

--Radagast

--A squad of elves from Tawaroth (the halls of the elven king of Mirkwood)

--Old Lagmal

--Unfreldro

In reply to Ronald R. Dodaden (msg # 550):

Happy Equinox.

Just a passing response to recent posts from the GM -- I am not (yet) familiar with this game system, but its mechanics seem to include some very interesting and flexible options.

In reply to The GM (msg # 552):

I think Radagast and Old Lagmal

Got busy with work and other things.

Forgot I wasn't supposed to look at this thread until I was ready.

Please reply to this message so that the game is "lit up" for me again tomorrow.

No rush

Patiently waiting for when the GM is ready.

Sorry fr delay, real busy week last week and weekend. Will post soon

 I have adjusted Mungo's Toughness on his Character Details to reflect the arrow wound. Should I revise his Bio so his Toughness also appears there?

It's not required, but it would be nice. Fate points, too.

In reply to The GM (msg # 562):

Very good. I have revised Mungo's Bio to show both Toughness and Fate points. Boh are now at 4/5. I have also revised the Fate on the Character Description to reflect his.

I am scheduled to have my right knee replaced tomorrow. I am not sure how long I may be off RPOL.

In reply to Mungo Mugwort (msg # 564):

Hopefully they replace it with something cool!
