I guess you're going to make an area for us to roll characters up in or separate area for each?

You may roll characters in this thread, or offline, and then submit them through the Game Details portal.
Would it be interesting if @GeneCortess "Jewel" was the estranged daughter of Khadim-Bey? Not what's intended by the scenario title, but could be neat.

tibbius. Sounds cool to me. Hmm. "estranged daughter of Khadim-Bey". Gotta love family. Matches her name well "Jewel" as in Khadimo-Bey's.

Also, rolling for wealth

@tibbius I submitted a character I am sure there are things that need to be improved upon. Just let me know.
Sep 18, 2024 5:36 am
@tibbius as the rules say:
You may have anything that costs less than your wealth. If you want something that equals your wealth, test SK (more about Testing below ...) If you fail the test, your wealth goes down a level.
Of most interest, most adventuring gear costs pennies, but anything metal, such as weapons or tools, cost shillings. Light armor or shields also cost shillings. Moderate or heavy armor, and great weapons (usable as both weapon and shield - two hands), cost pounds.So you don't spend the money to get your equipment as such. What our 6's say is we can currently afford the good, high-quality stuff. As we buy new gear we will have to test our skills and our available coin might get better or worse (just worse for us at this point though). Basically as long as your purchases aren't too extravagant, you'll be fine.

Guessing that all three stats will be below 10 so that would be 3 skill specialty spots? Casting will surely be one for Sorceress Jewel.

(I have done some downloading.)Disregard the pricelist - the rules I posted here on Gamersplane supersede that with a fuzzier approach to wealth and purchases. Greel summarized it well. The intent is to provide more knobs to twist during character creation - what do you purchase FIRST, if you're assigning points to stats how many do you want to put into SKill to enable more purchases?
Sep 18, 2024 5:25 pm
tibbius. Are you going to supply a items list rated by wealth?
I have added in some spec for stats and thoughts on three skills.

Still looking for the right portrait, but I've decided on all the background stuff.
Golden Ahm-Rami, the half-giant
- born poor.
- hates bullies and grew up fighting them.
- got sent to the fighting pits for accidentally injuring a nobleman's son.
- has never lost a fight in his decade long career.
- took the title "Golden" when he bought his freedom betting on himself for many years.
- now seeks new ways to occupy his time.

There are discontented nobles in Zul-Bazzir who conspire against the padishah of Khazistan. In the lamp-lit sitting rooms of their marble-walled mansions, they scheme and plot to overthrow the great king’s governor, Khadim Bey, and to seize control of Zul-Bazzir. Whispers of treason have reached the bey’s ears, but as yet the traitors remain nameless and unknown. To aid the governor, the padishah has sent a personal agent to Zul-Bazzir, to help infiltrate and identify the disloyal nobles.
Ah. Where does sorceress Jewel fit in this? Traitors against governor? Helpers for the governor? Something else?
Applied character is as complete as I can at this time.

Alright, I submitted my character.
I did not have the time to do a deep dive in to the setting yet, but my basic concept for her is that she is a noble who ended up on the wrong side of some plot. She adopted a fake identity to flee the situation, but somehow she kept getting dragged back in to all sorts of intrigue, picking up some solid assassin skills on the way. Right now she poses as a servant in some nobles court over in Zul-Bazzir.
If you need a more detailed backstory I will require a bit more time.

Tobias was orphaned at the age of 8. Both parents killed by bandits. He has grown up on the streets of Zul-Bazzir and has always just seemed "to find" what he needs. Tobias has started his own recovery service. If you lose he can find it. Now being 25 years old seeing how the lost and found trade has been very lucrative he feels like he should be able to put his skills to good use and looks for a life of high adventure.

Tobias Doesn't really care about the governor. He only cares about the job of finding the lost. Where he has used the help of the others in the group. He pays well and never swindles partners.

Merry's Potent Might
Level 1
An individual you can see gains the strength of a great beast for ten minutes.
The above is the only spell I have seen for a level 1 sorcerer, but my information is very limited. I was thinking about something dealing with fire would be nice. Red is her color.
GM can look over my items. Guessing she needs a spellbook.

Being Jewel is the estranged daughter of Khadim-Bey. She is not a fan at all of the governor. Showing up and saying "Hi Daddy" would not go over good. Not sure how to hook her up with the others.
Description: Jewel is six feet, two inches female in her later twenties. She has fiery red shoulder length hair and mystic hazel eyes. She isn't particularly strong or lean but is certainly a sight to catch the eye.

Well, Sanaa is mostly concerned with keeping her head attached to the rest of her body. Doesn't really matter if this means working for or against the governor.

Also fine with me. On a job or having just completed one and we are flush with spending money?

@GeneCortess re: magic - take a look at the spell lists in the World Book. A sorceress can use any of those, but be wary of the higher-level ones.

More thots about magic - on a failed test of LK, someone gets HURT. I will pick by random roll among those nearest to the sorceress.

Regarding the first encounter with the guards and what knowledge we have...
Are these guards considered corrupt by the people? Would killing them be tantamount to marking ourselves fir death by all other town guards?

Honestly three players seem like a good number. And the three we have all fit well around the premise of this adventure.
Oct 4, 2024 4:19 pm
Is the game going ok for everybody? There's potential for combat in the near future, as you may be expecting. I've run Ouroborous combat before. It's quick and can be scary for people who are used to having lots of hit points. It's generally a good idea to retreat if you're HURT, unless you have a higher LK score.
Following that thought, asymmetric combat is a good idea as well. For example, Osan has no apparent missile weapons. Tobias has a short bow. Of course, the risk of a missed shot from a distance is that Osan will have space to hide, run away, etc.
