The wind in her hair (OOC)

Aug 2, 2022 11:48 am
Out of character chatter about The wind in her hair can go here to avoid cluttering up the Roleplay thread.
OOC:
Use the OOC tag in your posts in the Roleplay thread to clarify what is happening or suggest moves.
This is for longer questions and answers related to that Roleplay, general rules questions not answered in the Help! thread can go in General.

Add a link back to the post in question so we can have context. After posting you can right-click on the orange header and select 'copy link address' (or whatever your browser calls it), then paste that in your OOC post.

I did not notice the Survival roll till I went back and checked now. Adding a roll later does not notify us, so it helps to drop us an OOC message to let us know.

With a 9 we can say you managed to scrounge enough along the way that you are not starving when you arrive at the unwelcoming village, so you don't have to deal with that before you can do anything else.

Ok. Sorry 'bout that. I thought you would notice since you suggested it 😉

Not sure if everyone would be on board with this, but it might be a cool idea to find Raynor's symbol on all the weapons that have had the glow. It could help us convince someone in the future, or be a bad thing if the wrong person sees it. Maybe it can slowly expand as we do things in favor of Raynor and eventually turns our weapons into holy relics.

What do you think?

I have no objections.

"Does not reach out here... But, if you can impose some semblance of such order on our neighbors...?" He leaves this hanging, possibly assuming you must already know what he is talking about, or possibly testing for your reactions.
I don't understand the first sentence. (Language problem)
Aug 5, 2022 6:49 am
I thought that might happen. It was a badly crafted sentence.

Roald spoke about the law, he is saying that the law is a thing that happens elsewhere, in bigger cities, that your being some sort of 'official guard' means little out here.

There is a hint of wistfulness in his tone, as though he would prefer to live in a place where the law does control things.

The second part is also referring to the 'law' you spoke of. He is implying that his neighbors are being a problem and that there is possibly work for you if you can enforce some 'law' on them.

Hope that helps. Reach out if I can do more to clarify things.
I had not planned for this guy to be such an unpleasant person. But as soon as he opened his mouth, it was clear he is a ass.

I saw your post too late, vague. Although, I don't think it matters that much.
Aug 5, 2022 12:40 pm
I don't think it changes anything, no.

They have probably heard of all the same gods you have.

For 'reasons' that are not clear yet, he probably would not mind all that much if you helped one of his neighbours with some conquest. And he might not even care which one. Anything to end the feud between Chlodomer and Childebert that his village is stuck in the middle of (and which he assumes you must know about, it is the most important thing in his life after all).

I assume we are trying to 'bluff' him with the threat of moving on to the next place? But that is an option if you choose to do so... not that I am promising any friendlier a reception from them. The only places you could get to today are the lands of Chlodomer and Childebert (technically farmers), he is not lying when he says there are no other villages around.

If you are trying to call his bluff to get let in, you may have to offer something of value (maybe a promise to help with his troubles, or something similar?) and make a roll. At worst (the uninjured among) you will not be allowed in and have to go to speak with the farmers, unrested and still hurt.

Ah, I guess we misinterpreted the trouble they were having, so our bluff isn't really working.
What do you want to do, Airshark?
Aug 5, 2022 1:10 pm
I too thought there were neighboring villages, not just farmsteads.

I suppose the characters could have made the Same mistake.

Since Roald is getting quite pissed, maybe someone should step in before he starts throwing rocks. 😬

It could work, but they do need to think you have value before the threat of taking it away will influence them. Make them an offer.

Yep. Logical mistake. But he has corrected that assumption by telling you there are no other villages.

With the fact that you heard the names 'Childebert' and 'Chlodomer', and all the rest you have observed, Roald may be able to Decipher the meaning, even if just enough to drop a hint about those names and "resolving troubles". That may be enough to justify a 'convince' roll.

Say the word and I will do exactly that (the stepping in part, I am not planning on throwing rocks:).

Word


Maybe the captain can defuse the situation.
Aug 5, 2022 1:31 pm
He... does not talk to ... women!
[ +- ] woman talk
Let me know if the captain has to defuse Roald. Maybe based on a Decipher roll?
Aug 5, 2022 1:37 pm
I forgot.


I'll give it a go.
Aug 5, 2022 1:44 pm
Oh boy


Someone is clueless.....😭

Wait, Albert has gold?! That will do it. You can just pay for services.

Where did Albert get gold, though? There were some opportunities to try picking up gold, but the party was busy with other things and that gold was risky. I did not notice Albert taking that golden risk, but I am happy to be wrong.
