Then I will max out my Int and Cool.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #3451 on:** September 26, 2012, 09:15:07 AM »

OK.

So back to the boat and off to Nuln? Or elsewhere?

I think you want to leave now, right?

Oh, and I added a fate point to everyone who hadn't already done so. And put the 300 EXP on Finlay and Fandir's character sheets, so they don't forget to spend it.

Heinrich can finally enter an archery tournament when you get to Nuln, maybe!

Finlay · « **Reply #3452 on:** September 26, 2012, 12:57:12 PM »

Rufus, can you post the gunner information for me to choose my skills from.

I decided not to learn scale sheer surface, or orientation!

Sweet! I can learn chemistry to engineer Klaus special powder.

Is it a gaming problem being a commander of a cannon battery… when I wont be.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #3455 on:** September 26, 2012, 01:26:33 PM »

You can train to command gun batteries though, even though you won't actually do it. Though you might get an opportunity some time! Also, you could arm the Faithful Hound with some small cannon, and then boss the others around to fire them.

In other news, I think Max will learn Heal Wounds in Nuln. He wants to be able to do first aid on injured people! And with 76 Int, he should be able to learn non-career skills fairly safely.

By the way, just to avoid craziness later on, can somebody ensure that they have Mortus' necklace when they leave the castle.

Can i command heinrich and billy to do it and use their bs? I want to do that.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #3458 on:** September 26, 2012, 02:59:48 PM »

I don't think you use BS to fire a cannon! But maybe you do, since the rulebook just says to refer to the WFB rules (the 3rd edition rules, which I do have somewhere. But I don't remember how cannons work in those).

We can just assume that the characters remember to do things like that.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #3459 on:** September 26, 2012, 03:06:40 PM »

Oh no klaus forgot for the last three months to take a crap

I think the characters need rest klaus is itching for good food warm beds some gambling. As a player i am hyped to go on. Klaus will add +10 to leadership for bossing people around and +10 willpower for the horrors that je saw at castle wittgenstein also he will work on his mimic ability incredibly useful with tge disguise skill he could impersonate people ...i think altdorf is rather close we should go there before a travel to nuln ...doing trade and stuff

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #3460 on:** September 26, 2012, 03:10:42 PM »

Possible destinations:

Altdorf = 190 miles away!

Nuln = 80 miles

Kemperbad = 30 miles (though with possible legal trouble)

Grissenwald = 55 miles (friendly dwarfs!)

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #3461 on:** September 26, 2012, 03:15:59 PM »

I vote the grissenbach nuln route!

Finlay · « **Reply #3462 on:** September 26, 2012, 03:19:12 PM »

nuln for gun training, and telling the church. Once they have rewarded us a bit more, grissenwald to sort out the dodgy exciseman!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #3463 on:** September 26, 2012, 03:23:02 PM »

OK! Mortus, Julian and Max can do some training in Nuln, Heinrich can win an archery contest, and Klaus can gamble and whore his way around town.

Oh, are you taking Werner and Fritz with you, or leaving them behind?

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #3464 on:** September 26, 2012, 03:36:23 PM »

Their freechoice but i suggest we take the wittgenstein relatives

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #3465 on:** September 26, 2012, 03:42:19 PM »

Hmmm, I can't remember how many relatives there were. But I'm sure there's room on the boat.

Finlay · « **Reply #3466 on:** September 26, 2012, 03:46:37 PM »

burn the castle?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #3467 on:** September 26, 2012, 03:49:43 PM »

I'd have thought burning a castle would involve a massive effort though. You'd have to pack it with gunpowder and fuel. It's a lot of damp stone!

I expect the authorities in Nuln can get it done if necessary.

commandant · « **Reply #3468 on:** September 26, 2012, 04:19:28 PM »

do we have a cargo?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #3469 on:** September 26, 2012, 04:20:52 PM »

Here we are in Nuln. Some things to do:

- you have a cargo of brandy to sell
- you also have a load of books from the observatory tower. Donate? Sell?
- prisoners: the relatives of the Wittgensteins from the Slaanesh temple. Hand over to the church of Sigmar?
- report to Father Thingy at the cathedral
- Max wants a doctor for Mortus. Right away!
- everyone needs to rest and heal
- buy equipment? Ragni wants armour!
- various characters want to train and study
- Max needs to join the Guild of Lawyers, then file Klaus's claim on the title

- when you're done in Nuln, head to Kemperbad to sort out the exciseman!

Did I miss anything?

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #3470 on:** September 26, 2012, 04:22:20 PM »

Wittgenstein nobles....how does this insanity stuff work do i have to worry about klauss mental state

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #3471 on:** September 26, 2012, 04:24:57 PM »

Insanity rules are in the summary in the character sheet thread. Basically, you are fine until you get 6 points. You then make a Cl test: pass, and you are fine until you gain more points. Fail, and you deduct 6 points but gain a mental disorder.

The disorder is either random or chosen by me! There is a big list of different ones.

I didn't miss the Wittgenstein prisoners off the list. They are on it!

commandant · « **Reply #3472 on:** September 26, 2012, 05:04:28 PM »

Does Mortus need to learn another spell to be a level 2 wizard?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #3473 on:** September 26, 2012, 09:42:25 PM »

Actually, no. I made a mistake there - the rules say you only have to learn two spells per level. However, spells cost more experience points at each level.

It's just as well you're staying in Nuln for a while, since it took four days to find a buyer for your cargo. The dice insisted! But I think you'll need to stay a week or so anyway, to get everything done. No rush, anyway,

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #3474 on:** September 27, 2012, 09:01:12 AM »

Maybe it's best if everyone says what they want to do while in Nuln, if anything. Otherwise it's going to get confusing and the game won't go anywhere.
