I think I need a map of the shipyard. I'll make one.

So, the map doesn't give descriptions of the buildings or the ships. That's because you need to get closer first. You're currently still on the boat, and it's dark.

So first of all, please decide where to dock! Either on jetty 1, jetty 2, or by the yacht.

Edit: still need this!

I'm thinking the jetty near the forge and warehouse (jetty 1)? I would assume this is most likely to be unoccupied.

The elf gave us the name of the boat in common and elf. Would our characters be able to recognize the name on the boat?

If the forge was occupied, wouldn't we see light? Part of the building is open. I'd say the watch tower is gaurenteed occupied.

Sorry, I was away!

Yes, you would. I just didn't want to make up a name in elvish.

Also yes.

Julian normally opens locked doors!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #13957 on:** February 17, 2017, 05:35:24 PM »

Mortus can just fireball the locks.

Rufus, I came across a journal from the original Moravian settlers who founded the village nearby in 1766. It reads exactly like one of your fluff pieces from a campaign or flufftastic RPG posts.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13959 on:** February 23, 2017, 02:57:27 PM »

That sounds interesting, Karl!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #13960 on:** February 24, 2017, 11:13:45 PM »

Has the forum been down?

It is! Sorry, it was totally random, but I read it and it reminded me of fluff from Crisis in Marienburg

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13961 on:** February 25, 2017, 12:59:53 PM »

It might have been! I'm not sure

Does that mean the settlers had a horrible time?

Hey! I had a good time during CiM!

Some did! The Moravians actually kept detailed journals - even of the weather. 1759 saw lots of raids by Natives and French along the frontier.

Small excerpt from the translation:

Quote

May 1st, 1759
We heard that the Indians had murdered three men and boys on the Yadkin 30 miles from here [nine hours away]. On the following day this report was investigated. and it was found to be true. and the dead were'buried. On the same day they had murdered eight people at Fort Tops [Now known as Fort Dobbs, NC]. 40 miles from here. This distress began just at the time when people should be doing their planting. They began to flee again. Sev- eral of our neighbors. meanwhile. left their holdings. and were of the opinion that they could not maintain themselves better than to draw together and begin a village. However. as is often the case with such people who have no leader. they were not of one mind.

I just reread the opening to Monarchies of God series where they find a damaged boat adrift at sea, and discover a wearwolf in the hold.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13964 on:** February 27, 2017, 10:32:20 AM »

That's a good idea! Let's have a werewolf!

I like the journal extract.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #13965 on:** February 27, 2017, 11:20:33 PM »

Does Mortus have any dim light spells she could cast. Since Hans and Mortus are on the gun deck, she could cast something into the hold to identify it. The light shouldn't be visible from outside the ship.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13966 on:** February 28, 2017, 11:05:42 AM »

Yes, she has a marsh lights spell.

Oh, Hans has night vision! 6 yards.

Admund should stealthily attack the cupboards with his sword in frustration.

Where do you think the evidence is? Anything that we can do to find it without being loud?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13968 on:** March 03, 2017, 11:00:21 AM »

Keep searching!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #13969 on:** March 04, 2017, 01:22:17 AM »

Ok!

I just caught up on watching Acquisitions Incorporated The Series. I really want to play Shadows over Bogenhafen with you guys in real life.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13970 on:** March 05, 2017, 11:47:40 AM »

Yes, I'd like to as well!

I haven't done a 'real life' rpg for ages, but I'm hopefully playing in a D&D game soon.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #13971 on:** March 06, 2017, 01:14:10 AM »

Me too! I keep saying that I should, and I just never find the chance to do it.

I saw some guys playing Ravenloft campaign recently, but it felt like Warhammer Fantasy did the gothic horror better

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13972 on:** March 06, 2017, 02:34:17 PM »

The 5th edition D&D rules are pretty cool though. Or at least the character creation rules are! A warlock with the Great Old One pact is themetastic.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #13973 on:** March 06, 2017, 02:50:53 PM »

Honestly, I've never played as a magic-y character before. I'm usually a fighty guy.

I saw a mage named Bernie Cinders.

Also, everyone fell asleep on the boat!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13974 on:** March 06, 2017, 03:14:56 PM »

I pretty much only like wizards, or at least academic characters of some sort!

I'm worried this situation is boring.
