Hurray! down with the mutants...up with the heroes.


So....how about the beggars cartographers? Follwed up by capturing the castle and hopefully gaining access to the inner sanctuary of the evil demon worshipers.

Can we convince some Rebels to serve as cannon fodder soaking up the fireballs of the enemy mages?

Ok Klaus goes for more Initiative being the first one to act is often crucial...also he could interrupt enemy mages from casting by bullets to the face.

Initiative is also good for noticing things, and for avoiding things. So good choice.


Interrupting wizards isn't too hard because their spells take a round to cast. Even though they usually have very high initiative scores, they won't complete a spell until near the end of the round. Remember poor old Dr Schmidt!


Also, Max is now super-smart. Int 66!

I went through 300-400 personal messages (should delete those more often) trying to find the one that describes all the skills you send me to save you the work to rewrite those but can´t find it.

Descriptions for the ones you don't have yet:

blather [able to distract people by talking total nonsense to them! Fel test to use it: success = 1 round distraction, increasing if you succeed by a lot]
charm [+10 to all Fel tests when trying to be charming]
evaluate [+10 to estimate tests, error margin reduced to 5%]
mimic  [can copy accents and even other people's voices perfectly. +10 to bluff and +10 to busk!]
public speaking  [able to influence crowds by making speeches. Use Fel to test, and may influence a number of people equal to Ld score]
seduction [+10 to Fel tests with the opposite sex. Good chat-up lines!]
wit  [very witty! +10 to Fel tests whenever that would be helpful]

OK?

Fantastic....hmmm so shall I post something in the in game thread or shall we just shuffle around and spy a bit longer to check out general stuff like how many guards can be seen? Is there a way to block the entrance of the guards building so they won´t get out of the barracks to join the fight until it is too late?

Kind of Hero stuff...you know.

Can Klaus get to 100 fel? Well useful. Vox Populi.

I’m not going to learn scale sheer surface, I think it’s a bit ooc for a dwarf!

He can't get 100 Fel, just to effectively 100 Fel. Which is almost the same thing!

How can scale sheer surface be out of character for a dwarf when you can get it in a dwarf-only career?

True! I don’t imagine dwarfs as great climbers. Maybe they are.

"As Klaus noticed already, the only entrance is reached by a flight of external stairs facing the bridge tower"

seems important. can we block them off from getting to fight at all?

I’m a bit confused about the plan and the layout of the castle, even with map, so I’m happy for fandir to try and fgiugure it out! Ha ha.

Can we not just lead all the rebels up here now we have killed the mutant?


Julian wants to try and sabotage some stuff

Everything! But it’s not because of your description or anything, just me being an idiot.

Fandir can tell me what to do.

Our lack of imagination induced due massive abuse of movies and pc games.

Well I try to figure things out....it was obvious that Max would be the one taken in custody...shouldn´t have taken him along.

He's had worse in the past!

He's not terribly likely to stay out of the fight either.

Does julian think he can barricade the doors to the guardhouses, or sabotage anything usefully?

I added strike to injure and strike to stun.


Is orienatation not a bit redundant with cartography?
