The Saga of Jorunn - A WFRP2e Solo Experience (OOC)

[bramblefoot]

ok mr abdiel, which god should i swear on? im feeling serpent is a bad one, as he'll think im tricksy

[bramblefoot]

fyi, jorunn does not plan to honor his deal. if he's let go, he plans to GTFO and report back to arnulf

[MrAbdiel]

You can swear on any gods you like - the dragon is trying to provoke you to swear on one whose wrath you actually fear.

Is 'the chained maiden' one you just made up, or does it correspond to some kind of clan god heretofor undisclosed in Jorunn's backstory?

If you swear on a real god, you can make a Charm test at +30% (to convince the dragon you are sincere).

If you want to make an oath to a fictional god, you'll be making a Charm test at -10% (to convince the dragon this is an obscure god that exists and that you honor it).

[bramblefoot]

the chained maiden was the local god in zagdhelm. jorunn doesnt fear it, but he may learn to

[MrAbdiel]

*Smacks forehead* I knew it was familiar - because I invented that name and put it in the points of interest for you, then forgot about it. Lol.

[bramblefoot]

fyi, is that chestplate plate?

[MrAbdiel]

It is a metal breastplate - chest slot plate armor indeed!

[bramblefoot]

can i has an update on what the blade with the screaming daemon handle does?

[MrAbdiel]

I guess we’ll find out. Do me a favour, and roll 3d100 for me.

[bramblefoot]

oh no. prays in norse

[MrAbdiel]

There you go! The Vikti is indeed still in Zadghelm, but I misunderstood; I thought you wanted some kind of sneak peek to what the sword might be about before you had claimed it; but since Arnuuk is giving it to you, he tells you its nature.

Unless you don't trust Arnuuk, and want to check with the Vikti anyway!

the motto is trust but verify.

also, jesus man, so many hard decisions!

[bramblefoot]

Can I have the norscan equivalent of a hell coin?

[MrAbdiel]

Ahaha! You can't dance along the morally neutral line forever, warrior! Chaos is a greased slope - you either get to sliding down, or you have to claw your way madly up to something resembling moral goodness. But no one remains just a little bit bad in this world!

[MrAbdiel]

Rather than the devil spyglass?

[bramblefoot]

Rather than the devil spyglass?

nah, ill keep the devil spyglass.

fyi, i do wanna check out tilea some time.

also, i feel like money is the driving concern here, so we'll go money

[bramblefoot]

and how much xp do i have? i havent spent it, so i think ill do dat now

[MrAbdiel]

gonna spend my last 100 xp to pick up haggle

Last time I gave you XP it was 200XP after you killed the Bestigor and his Herd - you can have another 50XP for for completing the quest entirely. I think your 'last XP' spent might have been before that gain, so you likely have 250XP right now. We'll say that's the number! Are you close to finishing Mercenary? If so, considering what career you want next might influence your next actions!

im thinking a bump to weapon skill, and strike mighty blow.

also, i havent thought about my next career

[bramblefoot]

i could have fun with outlaw or bounty hunter tho!

[bramblefoot]

tell me if i overstepped my gm/player boundaries yeh?

[MrAbdiel]

Will do, buckaroo. Traditionally yeah the GM provides the story and quest hooks and the players react, but I don’t dislike your style of offloading some to players especially since it speeds up the back and forth of play by post.

I was thinking of some kind of trade route guarding thing to get you to a new place, but in future I’ll be more liberal flagging when I am handing over creative license and in what parameters! Will post when I get home tonight.

[bramblefoot]

sounds good. lets hope a yowie doesnt eat your face

[bramblefoot]

fp the perception check

(1d100)[50]

[bramblefoot]

several questions, and an ask.

could you put witherbrands stats in notes, for easy perusal?

i get a feeling this guy is a vet, as he didnt gimme any numbers to estimate his bands strength off of.

also, how big is this snowdrift?

[bramblefoot]

I sure can.

He may be so. There's snow piled up the side of the road sufficient to conceal maybe five warriors, but this is still the Norscan wilds. There could be any number hiding around. But if you really had overwhelming force, why not display it and use THAT as leverage instead of the mystery? The only question is whether this guy has a dangerous enough force, or if he's likely to be bluffing - and that, you cannot tell.

[bramblefoot]

oki, and i get the feeling this may not be sporting, but ima cast lure of chaos on one of the axe wielders to have him charge and attempt to chop the head off the man
