Someone else is going to have to explain why we just stole a carriage and a hostage. I actually don't know.

Ha ha!

There was definitely a reason, probably. Klaus knows!

I am on free interwebs...and try to catch on but I will explain everything...even if we start to mutate and still remain champions of light.

Well, I could just say that your characters explain to Elvyra, then cut to her expositioning on the red crown.

Not that I know what she's going to say.

Exposition overload!


EXP time!

100 for most of you.

But 400 for Arnst! He's way behind, so this way he can catch up a bit. 400 is enough to take the remaining three advances and then change career. I recommend becoming a bodyguard (for Max or Klaus?), since it offers good combat skills and is really easy to justify gameplaywise. But there are other possibilities.

I'll do as you suggest! What happens when I become a bodyguard?

If Julian is T7, I'll have to send S7 enemies at him!

Not much immediately... but you get a new advance scheme and access to new skills. You'll need more EXP to buy them, but it will be along soon. Soon you will be good at fighting!

Oh, and your social standing will increase!


Be Max's bodyguard. He needs one!

I have 9 wounds! I think that's alot for a beggar. Still have strength 2 though. Also I like that rufus gave me one of the mail shirts Fandir stole after I kept asking for it and was ignored!

Now I need some awesome trousers for protection and a helm. I might see if I can get an elaborate helm! Shaped like a panda or a meercat.

Are we going to Altdorf now? More things to go do! More Max protection!

Klaus doesn't own those stolen mail shirts! Of course Arnst can have one.

Altdorf is the next destination for sure. Max can hire you and spend loads of money buying equipment for you! I think Arnst should suggest becoming Max's bodyguard though, since he'd never think of it himself.



Here're the bodyguard stats:

Advance scheme:
WS+20
S+1
w+2 (you've already had those)
I+10
A+1

Skills:
disarm
specialist weapon: first weapon (knuckledusters, garrotes, things like that)
street fighting
strike mighty blow
strike to stun
very strong

Career exits:
bounty hunter
footpad
mercenary
outlaw chief

social status:
class D (but feared), roll 4d4 for standing.

Hey I can get nearly WS 70, Nice! Is very strong the same as +1 strength? I want nearly everyone of those advance scores. Dodgy and hit harder Arnst.

I rolled 4 D4, I got 14!

I'll wait for a chance and suggest he becomes my sugar daddy.

Ah, actually no because you've already had a +10WS. +20 just means you can get another +10. Yes, this is a bit confusing which is why every single person gets it wrong at first! You'll have nearly 60WS though, which is very good.

Very strong though is +1S that doesn't count as a +1S advance. So you can have both, for S4. And strike mighty blow is another +1S in combat.


Regarding the horse: you can keep him if you can convince me that a horse can be kept on a river boat. I actually don't know if it's reasonable or not.

I don't think that you could keep a horse on a river boat, but they don't travel very fast.   You could ride along the bank beside the river.

I think we could keep a horse, but we'd have to lose a lot of cargo space, which isn't fair to the rest of the party.

That's mean!

I think cannon is right about it taking up too much room on the boat... also it would smell. Walking alongside isn't really practical either since it would get too tired.

Come to think of it, the horses probably belong to someone!

we just made 400 crowns each sailing for about 2 days, and paying someone wages.

Engineers get 20 crowns a day.

Merchants must be rich as fuck in the Empire.

Well, they are... but the trading rules are a bit too generous, I think.

I'll have to make the boat sink next time you go anywhere, or something.


Also, note that Heinrich is now a day behind the rest of the party, or the rest of the party are a day ahead of Heinrich... hopefully this will be resolved soon!

Somehow I don't see Mortus as being comfortable with Max's father.
