Completed [Play-by-Post] Magic World/BRP: "In Search of the Sorcerer"

[nikolokolus]

"Skulks and bogeys sounds like us. Anyway, I'm ok with sooner as well. Especially if I can find someone to help undue the kicking I received."

Spoiler

Was there anyone in town who can cast heal? I'd like to take at least two hits in the ruckus that will no doubt follow.

Spoiler

Not from the town, some of your comrades perhaps? The apothecary can sell you an unguent that acts over several hours.

How much per ointment? I'm think I'm going to need more than 1, regardless of whether or not one of my companions step up to magically remedy my 18 point boot to the head.

 

[Llywelyn ap Gruffydd]

Amon heals Rhenmyr.
[1d100] = 68 vs 70= Success.
: Healing = [2d3] = 3

Spoiler

I'm sure that success doomed me to a long string of combat failures.

20 silver (100 200 bronzes, or maybe a bit less if you want to haggle.)

Next Act

Let me know when you guys are done wasting your good rolls on unseenservant and are ready to meet your DOOM!

 

[Siveon]

Spoiler

I'm ready to board the ferry. Do we get an official divvy from the GM for the gold we found?

 

[Llywelyn ap Gruffydd]

After unseenservant.com gets done with us. https://youtu.be/dsx2vdn7gpY

BOOTY CALL!

I didn't divvy anything up, I leave that up to the players to sort out among themselves. For instance: Sreng's great big, fuck-off sword with the pattern-welded steel -- unclaimed. Sreng's girdle -- maybe claimed by Marcán, but I just saw you testing it out? Gold and silver coins carried by Sreng -- enumerated, but who gets what wasn't explicitly decided yet.

If people would prefer that I parcel out treasures to folks I can do that, but my assumption is that whoever takes the time to ask me what's on the body and loot something, gets the stuff, unless somebody expresses a desire for it. How do you guys want to handle this?

 

[Grimgravy]

Booty Call

I say divvy the gold and silver up evenly and save the bronze to pay ogres. That can be divvied up evenly if and when they die or betray us. Sell the sword to the smith unless someone can and wants to use it and divvy that too.

Rhenmyr would like the girdle. Added armor would be nice, he is half dead, and he likes the hunter's scene on it.

Bargaining for long acting healing potion.
Bargain (41): [1d100] = 19

apothecary's opposed bargain roll (60%) roll [1d100] = 49% vs. Rhenmyr's normal success (19) (higher roll without failing wins the opposed roll)
The apothecary agrees that you all have been very good for business, but refuses to budge on the price, saying that he's running low on golden moss and will have to get more shipped in sooner than he would have wished (normal prices for unguent: 20sp/200bp)

Damn it! 20 sp removed.

Rhenmyr buys one and uses it immediately.

: Golden Moss unguent: heals [2d6] = 6HP in [1d6] = 4hour(s)

 

[Siveon]

Marcán offers Rhenmyr a deal, wanting the girdle as well, a flip of a copper piece. "Luck is the ultimate balance, after all."

Spoiler

ERYFKRAD Giant fuck off sword sounds like your deal. You should probably have at that.

 

[Grimgravy]

"Fair enough."

 

[Siveon]

"Heads." Marcán flips a copper piece.

Spoiler

Luck Check (50) vs [1d100] = 57

if Grimgravy fails his luck roll, then the narrowest margin of failure wins.

Borric tries the balance of the sword, to get a feel for it.

It's hefty and there is no mistaking that the blade itself is fancy; a wavy pattern almost like ripples on water. (make an evaluate roll or great-swords% roll (whichever is greater) to estimate the balance, and other qualities of the blade. Failing that, you can get the dwarf smith to look it over.

 

[Grimgravy]

Spoiler

I'll roll when I get off in the middle of the night.

 

[Grimgravy]

Luck (65): [1d100] = 50

"Tails it is. Take this healing potion though. I makes sense for both groups to have one."

Spoiler

Of course this likely means it's cursed in some manor. In which case you're welcome Siveon Giving you a 3d3 instant healing potion just in case. You can give it back if everything goes swimmingly in the manse.

edit

Spoiler

Test the girdle (INT=13) : [1d100] = 49 testing the thing with similar result. FAIL.

 

[nikolokolus]

Mab, Solon and Moggle all take a crack at the girdle [1d100] = 13% [1d100] = 30% [1d100] = 10%

Solon and Moggle play around with the girdle and discover something curious when the depress the gemstones in a certain pattern. Both of them discover they can leap great distances horizontally and vertically (as per the Advanced Sorcery spell Far Striding; full stats once I'm not typing from my phone).

 

[nikolokolus]

the girdle

in the interest of expediency I'll skip having to cast Witchsight to get all of the particulars.
Girdle:
MP reservoir: 8
Cast: Far Striding
Effect: doubles distance jumped vertically or horizontally for each MP spent (see jump skill): e.g. running long jump:1mp=4m, 2mp=8m, 3m=16m, etc. Vertical jumps require a successful jump roll or damage might be taken (depending on the height of the jump; typically greater than 3m).

While worn and depleted of some or all it's magic points, the wearer's MP recovery rate is halved. The belt replenishes itself once it has siphoned off enough of the wearer's MPs.

 

[nikolokolus]

A couple of hours (or whatever passes for an hour) elapse (recover a pulse of Magic Points). Moggle says it's a few "tocks" from Gloaming; perhaps enough time to get to the island and back.

So what are we doing with our ogres? Split them up between the group walking in and the stealth group? Keep them together? After the fight with Sreng, trying to create a diversion in town doesn't look like it would be effective unless they really started tearing the place up.
