Hey Qralloq, was curious why you chose Solomon Kane as the setting to play in vs. other similar settings (Rippers, Accursed, etc). Fan of the author/character/etc?
I really didn't think I'd be digging the setting that much, a bit too dark and serious, but have grown to enjoy it over time. Kudos to you sir.
Also, is the Righteous Rage rule in play for this setting?

I used to read Conan mags back in the day and they'd always have a shorter story in the back. Sometimes another Conan tale, sometimes Kull the Conqueror, and sometimes Solomon Kane. I loved the SK ones the most. Later, I read the actual stories Howard wrote.
So when Windyridge mentioned in Discord she was interested in a Solomon Kane game, I leapt into action.
Seeing the game in play, I'm loving it too. We are occasionally very slow to post, and that often wanes my interest, but the ambiance and theme are great. I'm glad it's coming across in the game.
Righteous Rage should be in effect. I don't always remember it.

Are we keeping track of encumberance, and the penalties that come with it, or hand waving away?

Not sure if Gavrel's PC is still with us, but anyone wanna roll an arcane or common knowledge check, see if maybe we can get any info on the mistress, her people, or lands?

Gavrel is with you, but Naatkinson is offline while he sorts out a difficult move from his home.

A belated Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all! This has been a fun group to play with, and to many more adventures to come!

Just fyi, sleight of hand in SWD is handling by the Lockpicking skill (picking pockets, palming small items, etc).

Unless, does Gavrel have anything that can charm/stun/confuse them en masse, and we can try escaping to fight another day?

And a belated Happy New Year to you all! ... Though I might've spoken too soon about many more adventures with the way this particular story is currently going lol

Happy New Year. It's a dark story, just in general, for a generally dark game.
Gavrel doesn't have any such abilities.

Just fyi, Improvised weapons, -1 to throw and fighting, and -1 to parry, unless you have the improvisational fighter edge.

Absolutely. Also, like Remnant, feel free to imagine the environment as you will. There is an open Iron maiden, and torture devices strewn about. But if you want something appropriate to a torture dungeon, assume it's there and nearby.

I am back and there are a number of pages I have not read. I can either read them or someone can give me a short synopsis of what's happened and I can jump back in. If you prefer that I read them, it may be a few days before I get started on that.

Summary
You found a girl being kidnapped by soldiers. After rescuing her, you took her to her father's house and find out that for several years, young girls have been taken to the nearby castle and never returning. Everyone is terrified of The Devils Mistress, though you've found out little specifically about her.
You went to the castle, lead by the girl's father. In order to enter you had to leave your weapons. With some trepidation, you did so, and once inside, your were quickly captured.you've been taken to the dungeon where your deaths were ordered by a beautiful woman. You are now fighting for your lives, with no weapons. However, you're in a torture chamber, so feel free to embellish your environment. Two of the four guards have been killed, and Gavrel is up!
