Introductions & Bonds

Mar 21, 2024 5:56 pm
This is probably better handled in a thread of it's own, so let's have intro for everyone and THEN we'll do bonds.

For these, to make sure everyone has links with everyone else, go ahead and select one of your choice from the list below and discuss who you'd like to share that link with you.

We'll fill in the gaps afterwards with random ones.

Oxana doesn't entirely trust Brother Irwin, he's a devotee of that new religion of the empire and she's not sure what to make of all that. It sounds weird and honestly, how could one god possibly be in charge of all the little things that happen in the world? It's just far to much to comprehend.

Brother Irwin respects and is a little wary of Johnsan for the other man's familiarity with wild places, whereas being outside the village confines is something that he himself has never found comfortable.

@Drakis2,@Ysolde,@GameMaster - Just tagging those who haven't posted yet so we're all on the same page. Not trying to rush overly much.

Johnsan will convince Brother Irwin of the value of his knowledge of the land and the surrounding regions. This will be a long and dangerous journey, and Johnsan will be vital in acquiring food and scouting.

@gamemaster - I think that's basically the other side of the same Bond, so there's no need for both of you to have it. You could do something along the lines of 'Irwin and I seek knowledge about the world beyond our travels,' or something like that.

Okay, how about something like Oxana and I seek knowledge about the beasts and monsters that roam the land. They seem to be surviving well, so I am interested in how they stay alive, and Oxana may be interested in the things we can make from their pelts and bones and the like.

OOC:
@Emberskyes: choosing Oxana because of the big differences in their roles/duties in the village. Also, Jorgen is so obsessed with being "important"
I will convince Oxana of the value of my knowledge.

They mocked me for being a "simple tavern boy", but I’ll prove to them I am more than that

"I lied to Oxana about my feelings."
Tatianna finds herself attracted to the smith. Any time Oxana has asked her either about the village boys Tatianna might like or about their friendship Tatianna has lied either by omission of her true feelings or by suggesting that Tatianna has feelings for one of the boys in the village.

Briefly:

Oxana doesn't entirely trust Irwin.
Irwin respects and is a little wary of Johnsan.
Johnsan and Oxana seek knowledge about the beasts and monsters that roam the land.
Jorgenwill convince Oxana of the value of his knowledge.
Tatianna lied to Oxana about her feelings.

Oxana has plenty of bonds now, with four.
Johnsan has two.

@Drakis2,@Ysolde,@testlum - Irwin, Jorgen, and Tatianna each have one. Go ahead and roll one random bond each and suggest one of these three (Irwin, Jorgen, or Tatianna) to share it.

So roll on the table and suggest a bond for someone else?

Just need Drakis, Ysolde, and testlum to do it. You're pretty much set unless you just want another bond.
Mar 26, 2024 7:18 pm
Sure

Tatianna does not trust Jorgen because they think they are better.

or at least she perceives him as thinking he's better.

Gotcha, rolling.

EDIT: Hmm, 17 huh. Brother Irwin thinks that Tatianna will do great things in the future because of how others seem to trust and confide in her.

I'm a bit stumped on this one, but hopefully the above fits her character.


Wait I can't math. It's 12. Brother Irwin trusts Tatianna because of how her friends and even strangers seem to confide in her.

Ysolde says:

It's because he lives in a pub isn't it? Big city type guy, probably has indoor plumbing and such... nothing but trouble.

Jorgen has much to teach Brother Irwin about teamwork.

He has learned so much working at the tavern about how what he does fits in with so many others. He can show Brother Irwin this, for he strikes Jorgen as a loner, and no one can survive alone.

I will protect Tatianna from the darkness in the wilds. As two of the few people who venture beyond the immediate village lands. Oxana for wood and Tatianna for herbs Oxana is concerned about her welfare and safety.

It was actually what I was thinking...lol...

Anyway I think this is what we have now:

Oxana doesn't entirely trust Irwin.
Oxana will protect Tatianna from the darkness in the wilds
Irwin respects and is a little wary of Johnsan.
Irwin trusts Tatianna because of how her friends and even strangers seem to confide in her.
Johnsan and Oxana seek knowledge about the beasts and monsters that roam the land.
Jorgen will convince Oxana of the value of his knowledge.
Jorgen has much to teach Brother Irwin about teamwork.
Tatianna lied to Oxana about her feelings.
Tatianna does not trust Jorgen because they think they are better.

Not a basis for any conflicts or drama at all....

Should be much fun had by all. So we've got these down. Now, regardless of whather you have a HOOK with another PC or not, you've all grown up (or at least lived in) this village for years. No one is a stranger. And everyone is at least a little familiar with the area around Immenost. So here's what I want you to do:

1) Tell me the farthest your character has travelled from Immenost (in hours or days).
2) Tell me about an area (and roll a d4), a nearby village, or a point of interest near Immenost that your character knows about, and which direction it is in (North, Northeast, East, Southeast, or South). If you don't have anything particular you'd like to add, just roll 5d6 and 1d12 and we'll see what pops out.
3) Tell me about something that leads off the edge of the map that you've seen from afar, but never had the chance to explore. (e.g. a river, path, or valley)
