Perhaps we should leave Max on the boat then, and Billy. They are proper victim material.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2776 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:18:12 PM »

They have fate points; they'll be fine!

commandant · « **Reply #2777 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:19:06 PM »

By the way what do fate points do?

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2778 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:19:49 PM »

Extra lives.

I think.

So directly to the castle banging at the door or first asking around in the village.

commandant · « **Reply #2779 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:21:28 PM »

I think directly to the castle. Though going to the village may have information advantages. It may also contain an ambush though. Village I suppose is better. Also the way to the castle may well lead through the village

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2780 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:22:29 PM »

A fate point is a limited extra life. It can save you from something horrible... but it might not, if you deserved it. Fate points represent divine intervention, which does happen in the warhammer world because the gods are real. So preventing Tzeentch's manifestation in Bogenhafen won you a fate point each as a reward from the gods.

"we've done the nice stuff"

ambushing wizards and murdering mutants. = nice.

I vote village first.

thanks Grungni!

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2782 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:26:34 PM »

Lets go to the village then....fully armed and ready to burn some witches...oh well.....no burning witches but lots of mutants.

Relatively speaking, yes!

Anyway, don't forget Billy's advice: conceal the boat near the other bank somewhere, then cross to the village/castle by rowing boat. This is good advice!

commandant · « **Reply #2784 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:32:46 PM »

We should leave Billy to hide the boat and could we risk leaving Max and Reagi (if that is his name) to defend it?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2785 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:36:35 PM »

But then who will defend the rest of you?

You could buy another boat. You can't buy another life!

commandant · « **Reply #2786 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:37:48 PM »

We wouldn't be able to buy another boat, all of our money is in that boat (unless Mortus banked her in Kamperbad and can carry the note of credit).

We should be able to handle ourselves

Also is it a ruined castle?

Finlay · « **Reply #2787 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:40:54 PM »

I thought rufus had said that it was clearly inhabited

yes, he did

Quote

It's obvious that the castle is certainly inhabited: there are a great many lights at the windows, and even at this distance they can see movement on the battlements.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2788 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:41:54 PM »

Ragni didn't come on this quest to defend boats. Nor did Max.

Ha ha!

commandant · « **Reply #2789 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:42:36 PM »

Ahhh didn't read in enough detail so.

Okay, ways of getting in that don't involve blowing our way in

1: sneaking
2: Trading
3: Ideas

There is that. Max might be easier to convince than Ragni though consider he is terrified

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2790 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:45:16 PM »

We shouldn´t make the basic horror movie mistake....splitting up. We shouldn´t leave Ragni and Billy behind, lets stick together, lets find out as much as possible from the village if they are human eating mutants and a whole village of them we run back to the boat Heinrich and Billy should be able to give us early warning, if they are degenerate peasants we try to find out as much as possible about the Wittgenstein castle maybe someone knows a secret way in ....If there is no other way in but the direct one we should try to get inside by just walking to the front gate....possibly the Wittgensteins don´t have much personal and just live their days in the dungeons of the ruin.
Or we can get shelter offered from the lord residing in the castle pretending not to know about his outrageous experiments gathering informations once we are inside.

Finlay · « **Reply #2791 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:47:26 PM »

sneaking yes.

trading. I HIGHLY doubt it.

ideas: julian somehow gets 100 exp from somewhere and scales the cliffs!

no, we saw movement on the battlements.

Agree we stick together and go to village though.

commandant · « **Reply #2792 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:50:39 PM »

Trading might be easier than sneaking though, as other than Heinrich we are not very good at sneaking.

I don't think Julian climbing in is a good idea. That would put him buy himself inside the castle, not what we want.

I wonder are there sewers or something. Also if there are servants that live in the village we might just be able to walk in with them, dressed in servants' clothes. The problem with that is that we would not really be able to take weapons or armour with us (and the dwarfs might get weird looks).

We could claim to be a travelling engineer company and ask the lord if he needs any work done. After all with 2 dwarfs that story could hold water

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2793 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:54:26 PM »

Lets first check the village...then decide how to get into the castle.

Finlay · « **Reply #2794 on:** September 05, 2012, 03:06:37 PM »

Witgenstein is like 150 years old and makes zombies.

Im sure he knows everyone thinks his castle is cursed. Not sure how he would react to some brandy sellers strolling up to his front door!

I like the idea of engineers... repairiing his crumbling castle. but again not sure.

Lets see what we find at village- they might hate him and want to help us!

If julian climbed up, he could open the door for you all.

commandant · « **Reply #2795 on:** September 05, 2012, 03:19:53 PM »

Except that to open the doors he would need to fight his way, alone, through the guard of the castle

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2796 on:** September 05, 2012, 03:24:51 PM »

Might be Wittgenstein is living on his own and a huge waster of candles.

Lets find out...lets move to the village.

Finlay · « **Reply #2797 on:** September 05, 2012, 03:28:10 PM »

no one expects ~~the inquisition~~a dwarf climbing a 200 feet cliff in the night.

Anyway, it wont come to that because the village will sort it out!

Update, update, update.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2798 on:** September 05, 2012, 03:52:15 PM »

I like all these ideas!

OK, village it is then. You can't actually reach the castle without going through the village anyway, unless you take a massive detour.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2799 on:** September 05, 2012, 03:58:44 PM »

To the village!

Damn I am searching for an old martial arts movie...it was a contest a race and at some point they had to go through a village of madmen
