Aw, poo poo, I'm sad I missed this starting up (but not really, my time's short for a while) but I'm definitely going to watch. It looks wonderfully impenetrable.

Hey, now, if you binge Realmspeak for twelve hours straight, constantly reloading when something goes horribly wrong so you don't have to start over from scratch, you'll have picked up the basics, no sweat.

It's not too late* to grab the Wizard and join the Dwarf in delving too deep. I have very little clue so I won't care if you screw up! * May actually be too late??

At the moment I can't promise I'll have the time to dedicate to it, so I'll stay out, but thanks!

Scroll up and find the post where I ask for the starting info (victory points, starting location, etc.) The Dwarf will definitely appreciate having Gandalf as a guide when delving in Moria.

Unfortunately, though I'd love to be in these next 2-3 weeks are going to be absurdly busy for me and I don't think I'll be able to make moves at any reasonable rate. If I get some time I can try and help with rules stuff but other than that I'll probably need to bow out. Sorry

LLSix posted:4 school IV chits enchanted as a magic chit please. You can enchant type IV spell chits into purple magic but type VI spell chits do not turn into color magic. I - White, II - Grey, III - Gold, IV - Purple, V - Black Type VI, VII, and VIII spell chits cannot be enchanted into color magic.

Hmm, guess I'll enchant all but one of my type IV chits then and expect to rest to refresh them before casting a second fiery blast. I'll be hanging out with other players so that might work well.

I'll be hanging out with other players so that might work well. I would recommend leaving both of your IV3 chits available, they're your fastest spellcasting chits, allowing you to undercut all of the enemies I'll be seeking out. And without The Pilgrim, we'll need to be pretty careful until we can find the Sacred Grail, Sacred Statue, and Good Book to give me full access to White Magic, at which point things will become much easier. If we get the Dragon Essence, that will also make things a lot easier, as you'll be free to use all of your Magic chits for casting. I'll carry the Dragon Essence, at least until I can cast Exorcise, since the Essense provides Purple magic to everyone in the clearing, and, if you carry it, any Permanent spells you cast on yourself will be literally permanent, because the only way to turn such spells off is to deprive them of their color, or cast one of a couple spells that dispel magic. Like, if you were to cast Melt into Mist on yourself while carrying the Dragon Essence, you'd be stuck as mist until I could cast Exorcise. With me carrying it, you can just spend a turn in a different clearing. I think. Anyway Bacon In A Wok and/or Corbeau, wanna join Team Jolly Co-operation?

You can find this on your character card or page 102 in the rulebook. Ignore the development levels, we aren't playing a development game so you start will all chits and the spells listed next to "Witch." The Witch starts with nothing but 10 gold coins, and 3 spells.

Just to expand/clarify on this slightly - 'nothing' does not equate to 'unarmed'. Every character is assumed to have a dagger to fight with if absolutely necessary - doing the same damage as whatever Fight chit you play, plus Sharpness against unarmored enemies. (It is a lousy excuse for a weapon, mind you - the Witch should avoid combat unless+until her magic gives her firepower. But it is a weapon.)

You can find the HTML export of the starting board here. Please take a look and let me know if I got anything wrong with regards to your starting status. You may start planning your day 1 moves now! Please PM me your Day 1 Moves. Also, if you haven't already, send me your Google Hangouts or Skype handle in case I need to contact you quickly to clarify anything. Don't worry, I'll use it sparingly.

Is that chit in the borderland in a connection between clearings? Could that be a treasure chit or is it guaranteed to be monsters because of where it is placed?

LLSix posted:Is that chit in the borderland in a connection between clearings? Could that be a treasure chit or is it guaranteed to be monsters because of where it is placed? Realmspeak just places the facedown chits on a semirandom part of the tile until they're actually revealed. Once they're revealed, they'll move to their new homes. Also, woods* and valley spaces will never ever hold treasure sites. Those are always found on tiles with six clearings. At best, the woods will contain a campfire. At worst, snakes. (The Deep Woods tile is an exception. It's technically a "mountain" hex for chit-placement purposes, though it's still a Woods tile for the Woods Girl's special ability.)

But I, I who grew with the rocks of this land, I who midwifed the trees of this soil. I know the secret ways that mere men have forgotten. Meet me in the northmost Linden Woods. I beg a simple alms--coin enough to cover the eyes of five corpses. For this, I will pierce bough and bramble, and show you home. (Nevermind, misread the paths, looks like you can get to the Deep Woods just fine via the Curst Valley. Ignore me.) gutterdaughter fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Feb 3, 2016 |

Day 1 Results: The Witch Queen goes first, bids a eerie farewell to her sisters, the ghosts, and floats off to haunt Linden Woods. An immature viper, about three feet long, hisses at her and slithers off into the woods. The adult vipers are nowhere to be seen. Move (Curst Valley 2), Move (Linden Woods 4), Hide (Successful), Hide The Witch's Familiar goes next, reluctantly leaving her warm spot by the fire, she slinks off to Borderlands spying and reporting back to the Witch. Move (Borderlands 2), Peer, Move (Borderlands 3), Peer (Finds clues and paths) The Witch stays behind after kicking her cat out the door and prepares some black magic for the night, speaks briefly with the rogue's leader about their goods, and then makes herself scarce for the rest of the night. Alert (Magic V4*), Hide (Failed), Hide (Succeeded), Trade (Price x3, declined) The White Knight stays a while at the Chapel, negotiating. He trades his great sword for a morningstar that catches his eye and then heads off into Pine Woods. He smells smoke and glimpses the flickering light of a small campfire through the trees but there doesn't seem to be a path that leads to the clearing. Trade (Price x2, trades great sword for morningstar for 6 gold), Trade (Price x2, declined), Move Pine Woods 2, Move Pine Woods 4 The Black Knight marches off into Borderlands searching for treasure and then spends some time concealing himself in preparation for the evening. He hears the flutter of bat wings sees one very large and dangerous looking bat in the distance. Move (Borderlands 2), Search (locate, finds chits, none to discover), Hide (Succeeded), Hide  The Sorcerer leaves the Inn next, pushing deeper in to Borderlands than the Black Knight but also making sure to be well hidden before night falls. The cat hisses and arches her back as the giant bat, seeing movement, flutters over to where the Sorcerer lies in hiding. Move (Borderlands 2), Move (Borderlands 3), Hide (Succeeded), Hide  The Woods Girl spends the day trying to hire the rogues. The rogues aren't quite sure what to make of this lady of the woods, all dressed in green but, by the end of the day, she manages to convince two swordsmen to join her. (Good rolls here at the end of the day! 1,2 and 1,2.) Hire (No Deal), Hire (No Deal), Hire (Price x3, hires R7), Hire (Price x3, hires R6)  The Dwarf spends the day trying to purchase an extra helmet from the Guard, unsuccessfully.

LLSix posted:This handy cheat sheet suggests the bat is too dangerous for me so I guess I'll let it be. Yes, if you had an alerted type VI magic chit then you could fiery blast the bat from hiding and then melt into mist if the fiery blast misses. As it is, if you fail to kill the bat, roughly a 1 in 3 chance, then you will be unable to cast your melt into mist spell and the bat will kill you.
