ohns (GM): is it possible for bolad to get bronze arrows that would not be affected by the herbam spell that makes one easily dodge arrows

devil's fav demon (GM): having an arrow made entirely of bronze would be rare and probably harder to shoot bc of how heavy it would be

johns (GM): it would not be a regular use, but just for hunting Strabos

devil's fav demon (GM): nevio can make shafts out of bone and has bone crafting ability

johns (GM): excellent

& badass

will archibald go on this adventure

and does he have a good PeVi spell to undo wizard buffs

dys: He has Break The Shield, which removes the parma entirely

devil's fav demon (GM): idk. where are the, haha, mundane craft rules. art & academe, grogs, uh

johns (GM): lets give the grogs an enchanted item that dispells all wizards sidesteps in voice range

dys: didnt end up going to the shops oops, well i can still go along later dpeending on session length, or tomorrow

devil's fav demon (GM): dex 1 + craft: bone 4 gives 5 to workshop total, producing Shoddy items, assuming nevio has a workshop which he probably does by now. I dpn

don't have a specialization though

johns (GM): Shoddy Bone Arrows.

devil's fav demon (GM): so i could put it as "weapons" or "tools" or something to put it to 6

and Standard quality

johns (GM): Standard Bone Arrows of +1 Magus Slaying

devil's fav demon (GM): actually they can be shoddy, they function the same as normal items they just break if you botch

johns (GM): nice

good thing i roll natural 20s

dys: hello Moe

devil's fav demon (GM): i dont know how many arrows is standard per season so but given that 8 shortswords/season is standard i'll say uhh

20 arrows?

thats more than enough

johns (GM): works for me

Nevio: "Hope ya don't mind me digging through the catacombs for the raw materials, huh boss? Looking trim by the way. Keeping fit, that's good to see."

blah blah.

dys: Now to wait on our friends Cumthinker and the traitor Beardbeard

Beardbeard: im not a traitor

haha you aclled me your friend

Father Hazm: Salaam

Bolad googles traditional mongolian greeting

Bolad: Zolgokh (Mongolian: Золгох) is a traditional Mongolian formal greeting. Two people hold both their arms out, and the younger person's arms are placed under the elder person's and grasps their elbows to show support for their elder. The two people then touch each other's cheeks, usually accompanied with the phrase Amar mend üü (Mongolian: Амар мэнд үү), meaning "Are you well and peaceful?".

Father Hazm: I didn't google a Syriac greeting which would have been more approrpiate

Archibald of Guernicus: oh, i have a suggestion. Lets do this at the end of Spring 1346 instead of the beginning. THat way I can spend spring 1346 learning leap of homecoming in order to have enough time to learn leap of homecoming during an adventure season.

Bolad: You're the boss, boss

devil's fav demon (GM): lol

It's been a busy year with the Herbam blight, the kidnapping of Gulielmus, and Strabo's return to meddling with the magi of Vardian's Tomb. Anson of Bonisagus' wild accusations spread through the order and wizards trade stories of the Guernicus with the wild mane.

Winter has given way to spring, and the magi have had an entire season of peace and quiet.

Summer approaches, and the plants, at least the ones outside of Magic auras, are in full fruit.

Bolad: "Damned peace and quiet."

"It's an abomination."

Giraldo of Milan: "Aye."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Then let's put it tae good use. Strabo, time tae take the man down."

Rosario of Flambeau: "Alright, that tears it."

"Ah, Archibald, after my own heart. I was about to say, it's been long enough. If you're not going to get a force and take down that Marched devil, I would go do it myself."

Bolad: "A quarry worthy of a true huntsman!"

Rosario of Flambeau: "Almost a year since Fiorella plucked that arcane connection from his nest, and how much closer are we?"

"Over a year! Good God!"

Archibald of Guernicus: "We have the man's location." I assume, since our friend Lavinia found him before

Rosario of Flambeau: Lavinia found his lab.

Archibald of Guernicus: "A dark year, Rosario, a dark year."

"Gulielmus, the herbam blight, a busy time."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "It is harder for me to divine a person's location if they have Magic Resistance."

"Though I can try."

Lavinia of Jerbiton contemplates whether a Sortes ritual could be timed to finish in the brief window a target's Parma Magica is down at Sunrise/Sunset

devil's fav demon (GM): i want to apologize to moe now for catching me as gm both times.

what luck.

c'thinker: auu/

* ayy.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: holy shit!!!

its a ghost

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "If I can send a pigeon to him, then I can penetrate his Animal resistance."

devil's fav demon (GM): Can you use Sortes with an AC?

Aristocritus Bonisagi: "Salve."

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Yes dfd but I don't get any sympathetic bonuses

devil's fav demon (GM): rip

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Ease Factor 12: Locate a person to whom you have an Arcane Connection. Locate a plant

Derfel ap Cadwaladr strides into the room, real handsome-like

Celeste swoons

Giraldo of Milan: what if strabo has the weird flaw or virrtue where his parma expires at noon and midnight

Lavinia of Jerbiton: then we are screwed.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: is that a virtue

Archibald of Guernicus: IT's a virtue, but it's a Tremere one

devil's fav demon (GM): He is a known Bonisagus.

Archibald of Guernicus: its a virtue because you can time your magic in unexpected ways

Lavinia of Jerbiton: here's a sort of wild thought, I could attempt to scry for traces of his magic

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: he's also evil, though

Lavinia of Jerbiton: the strongest magic would be somewhere he has casted recently

and that would have no MR

devil's fav demon (GM): hmm

Lavinia of Jerbiton: does that seem logical to you dfd?

Derfel ap Cadwaladr:

rolling 1d10!+5 Presence

)

+5

=

6

oh my god. no

Fiorella of Jerbiton: What's they smpathetic multiplier for the AC?

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh, I know

I have a much better idea

(From devil's fav demon (GM)): yeah if that's not blocked by a regio boundary that would work

Archibald of Guernicus: FIRST

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I can test his animal AC

Archibald of Guernicus: I cast an intangible tunnel to strabo

(From devil's fav demon (GM)): he is casting in the garden

Archibald of Guernicus: then I destroy his parma

through the tunnel

then you sortes him

devil's fav demon (GM): lmfao.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: By summoning a homing pigeon

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: derfel has botched his presence roll, and is absent

Lavinia of Jerbiton: oh sick

devil's fav demon (GM): sick

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Oh okay

Archibald of Guernicus: you are not aware of losing your parma when it happens

well

there is a spell that wanrs you if any magic beats your parma ever

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I suppose it's a little anticlimactic, but could you also just fling mean spells through the tunnel to

Archibald of Guernicus: which i have

devil's fav demon (GM): will the homing pigeon go to the location?

if you penetrate his MR?

Archibald of Guernicus: i dont have a murder combo for the tunnel im afraid

but we can find him this way

Lavinia of Jerbiton: Works 4 me.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: This spell creates a pigeon that can carry a short written message which must be tied to its leg. The Rego requisite allows the caster to direct the bird to fly to a location for which she has an arcane connection (the bird can fly up to 500 miles, non-stop in good weather). The arcane connection is placed in the bird’s beak and remains there for the duration of the flight. At sunset or sunrise the bird disappears, though the message will remain.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: it seems like your sigil should manifest on the target

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Okay, don't give methe AC for that

Archibald of Guernicus: First, intangible tunnel, using mercury temple regio, how strong was our AC?

devil's fav demon (GM): oh man you need to give the AC to the bird and follow it to his location?

that's tricky.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Yeah

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: well. it seems like your sigil should NOT manifest on the target and there should be rules about whether or not the sigil is suppressed when you're trying to be stealthy

Fiorella of Jerbiton: So don't let me have it

devil's fav demon (GM): lemme go get the AC numbers.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: With Archibald's permission, I bring my lectern and a copy of the Aeneid into the Temple regio.

Archibald of Guernicus: Sure, since theres no lab set up here yet

anyway, first

Giraldo of Milan: lectern huh

Archibald of Guernicus: penetration is 26 +

devil's fav demon (GM): Lasts years or decades +3, +2 for two nicknames

Lavinia of Jerbiton: I bring in Witchwood planks and Emerald blocks to set up my crafting altar.

Archibald of Guernicus: 5x my pen huh

okay so thats

devil's fav demon (GM): yep.

Archibald of Guernicus: 25 extra

51 penetration total

devil's fav demon (GM): you beat his MR.

Archibald of Guernicus: My tunnel is diameter duration, rather than conc, so no conc rolls

and now...

Lavinia of Jerbiton open palm slams a summa on the lectern

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Wonder what the magi are up to."

Archibald of Guernicus: I turn to Lavinia, and nod, the task complete

Tagging her in

Lavinia of Jerbiton:

boo. BOOO.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Probably better off not knowing."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr drinks.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: so that's 12 pen if it matters at all, and in 36 minutes locates someone whose AC I have

devil's fav demon (GM): lmao.

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh, shaun

Can Fiorella send a pigeon to pick up an AC from near Magvillus? I have an idea.

devil's fav demon (GM): luckily archibald broke his parma so you're good

Archibald of Guernicus: oh, hmm, maybe not actually.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: how do i enable the name tag on my token

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Okay

devil's fav demon (GM): In 36 minutes, you land on

Over these,

"Against a forest backdrop shimmering,

A dark and shaggy grove casts a deep shade,"

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "the funeral pyre was builded high in a sequestered garden, Iooming huge with boughs of pine and faggots"

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I can do that just by standing on the Eastern Ear's tower and pointing to Magvillus

Archibald of Guernicus: oh no actually, pick up an AC for me

Fiorella of Jerbiton: And send my familiar to go get it

Archibald of Guernicus: did you really get that when you consulted the sortes johns

thats incredible

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "A garden full of faggots... aha!"

devil's fav demon (GM): It is a familiar location in the Teutoberg Forest.

I googled "aenied quotes forest".

Archibald of Guernicus: "By Jove, is that his location?"

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "Faggots? Always good for filling a trench."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Assemble the men, we have to go out seeking faggots."

devil's fav demon (GM): nice.

Lavinia of Jerbiton: tell the grogs to turn off their monitors lmfao.

Archibald of Guernicus: Okay

Bolad, Derfel, Giraldo

Turn them off

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: you forgot lavinia

Lavinia of Jerbiton: "You will find Strabo somewhere in the Teutoberg forest."

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Asperg

devil's fav demon (GM): The mysterious covenant of Caerfloron, home of the green-skinned hedge magi and gate to Herrison's garden is the most familiar location there to you all.

Archibald of Guernicus: I'll offer something to the 3 combatants we're bringing along

I have Flexible Formulaic Magic, and leap of homecoming

meaning i can get to Touch range

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: whos bofana

Archibald of Guernicus: so i can teleport you there

Lavinia of Jerbiton: boyrep's companion

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: rip

Archibald of Guernicus: Bofana is a non-character that was once property of a traitor

Giraldo of Milan: bofa na

devil's fav demon (GM): rip bofana.

Father Hazm: I'll go with the grogs to bless them

With my new weapon ability buffs

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: im going to search for derfels fucked up character sheet

devil's fav demon (GM): this is all the way in the Rhine Tribunal, so it's a haul and will take over a week unless you just all teleport there with his AC.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: found it.

will this warp me

Archibald of Guernicus: You take 1 warping point from it.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: christ.

Archibald of Guernicus: That's why its an offer

Father Hazm: I don't think I get shitty mundane warping

Bolad: Warp me, scotty.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: well, you're the wizard

Father Hazm: So I can take it

Derfel gets fairy warping

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i think derfel gets some kind of weird faerie warping

yeah

Archibald of Guernicus: "Now, too much warping is dangerous, but a small amount is harmless. That said, I willnae force it on one of ye."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: squall: "Whatever."

Father Hazm: "Perhaps a visit to the Rhine will help in my search for the Ars Notoria."

Archibald of Guernicus: In that case, if Fiorella's birbs pick us up an AC, we can all just teleport there. Isn't that lovely

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: *ain't

Bolad: Can you teleport a horse too

Rosario of Flambeau: Just then, a redcap arrives with a letter. Rosario is being called away by the Flambeau Primus on Milite business.

"Devil blast him! Pardon me. Always pulling me away from glory, this one. I'll see you all later, sodales, good hunting."

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Getting an AC to a place I haven't been is trucky

Bolad: "Such is the life of a loyal vassal."

devil's fav demon (GM): this is a good flaw to have for when i gm

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Yeah, I know how that is."

"Wizards, always ordering people around."

Archibald of Guernicus: I could send my own familiar on a long journey to pick it up, I just thought birds gathering ACs was our best trick

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Okay

devil's fav demon (GM): Teleporting there makes all this pretty easy, yeah.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: If I summon a bird at sunrise, it can go around 500 miles

devil's fav demon (GM): It's definitely better than going on foot to friesland.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: 250 including the return

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: someone teach derfel the parma

Archibald of Guernicus: teleportation just to ensure undisrupted labwork is a powerful trick

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: or wait. his power is from warping not from the gift

oh well

Bolad: how fast by horse

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Here's what I can do

I can go as a bird myself

Then teleport back

Giraldo of Milan: good luck everyone

devil's fav demon (GM): its like 1500km away from rome

1468ish

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Does anyone have an AC to Durenmar

Which woudl put me a lot closer

devil's fav demon (GM): Jorn really made this easy the first time.

Jorn....

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: yes: aristocritus is aleseta's favorite magus so his corpse will serve as an AC

Bolad: by horse i could probably get there in 15 days. but im willing to be teleported too. cheers.

devil's fav demon (GM): rofl.

Archibald of Guernicus: Derfel is right

Fiorella of Jerbiton: You culd always bring Jorn back as an NPC if you really want an easy globetrotting adventure

Giraldo of Milan: jorn is dead

devil's fav demon (GM): Is he?

Giraldo of Milan: when the herbam blight happened he was killed

Archibald of Guernicus: Unfortunately, he was mistaken for a member of the order of odin and beaten to death

Fiorella of Jerbiton: RIP

devil's fav demon (GM): Wow. What a shame.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Why would his sodales at Lubeck do that

Archibald of Guernicus: Witnesses say he made 'noises like the swedish chef from the muppets, even though that hasnt been invented yet and wont be for centuries'

Bolad: jorn has gone into the faerie realm to wait out the blight and will return in: 50 years.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: cant believe nobody thought to make a permanent ac to rope kids maga after she became an npc

devil's fav demon (GM): Doesn't the Ultimate Rapist also know Arcadian Travel?

You could ask him, maybe.

Bolad: whats the rush

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: now that hafl is gone we can just trade his apprentice back to the ultimate rapist

devil's fav demon (GM): No rush, really.

Bolad: bolad can ride there, pick it up, and come back

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I'll send a bird out to get some ACs

devil's fav demon (GM): But the option's there.

Bolad: or a bird can do it

neither of us lose anything be spending a season in travel

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: hmm. is gulielmus warped from teleporting a bunch

Bolad: you dont get warped if you teleport yourself

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: whew

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I'll send my familiar

devil's fav demon (GM): If the bird is a product of Creo and only lasts for Sun duration, keep in mind the forest is about a thousand miles away.

Oh, okay.

Cool!

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Since it doesn't disappear at sunset

devil's fav demon (GM): Familiars ftw.

Archibald of Guernicus: When you invent a spell you tailor it to yourself unless you specifically choose not to, so no warping

devil's fav demon (GM): Fiorella's huge scary bird nuzzles her and flies off.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Thankfully it's an apex predator so it should be fine by herself

devil's fav demon (GM): Yeah.

That bird has a +30 attack roll.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: wish i could apply more than 2 auras to a token

devil's fav demon (GM): It's fine.

Bolad: i cant see either aura

i think a gm or someone has to select "see aura" checkbox on it

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: what

devil's fav demon (GM): can you see the aura

Archibald of Guernicus: i can

devil's fav demon (GM): i think i got the boxes checked.

Bolad: i see it now

I see that heavenly glow

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I could have a telepathic communication with familiar invented by Spring

I won't dwell on it since it takes two seasons to have two way communicatoin

devil's fav demon (GM): A day passes.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: 2:12 am... going back to the tavern for more drinking

Fiorella of Jerbiton makes a bunch of dresses out of wool rags and wears the one that had exploded Finesse rolls

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: gah

Camilla lands on the floor near Fiorella and deposits a severed human arm, dried, sun-baked, and green. She looks very proud

Giraldo of Milan: wow

rest in peace those guys

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "Hrm."

"Well, perhaps it'll serve as an AC for transportation purposes."

devil's fav demon (GM): It will.

Bolad: "Your bird is a fierce fighter."

Fiorella of Jerbiton gives Camilla a bone.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "As vicious as her namesake, it seems."

Archibald of Guernicus: "It might not work, an AC typically has tae be a location, not to a person."

"For the leap of homecoming."

devil's fav demon (GM): you can give an awareness roll or just tell me if you have 1 or more awareness (or medicine)

Archibald of Guernicus: I have 1 or more awareness, me

Bolad:

Bolad: Hot rolls today

devil's fav demon (GM): jesus christ.

get all your rolls out of the way here.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: We wasted al our good luck

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "This isn't a normal arm."

devil's fav demon (GM): also, the dried tissue resembles dried plant matter more than dried meat.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "Well that's good news."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Professional estimation as a trained monster hunter, there."

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "That means the body is part of the landscape."

"It should work fine for transportation."

devil's fav demon (GM): The green-skinned magi who lived there were bonded with the environment and didn't eat food

Bolad: "Freaks."

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "Lammargeiers are excellent scroungers of the dead and soon-to-be dead."

Archibald of Guernicus: "Those poor men."

"We should avenge them."

Lets go, all

devil's fav demon (GM): Derfel's chirurgy roll shows him that the arm wasn't severed at a joint, but bitten clean through.

Good bird.

Ok.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: thats fiorella

Archibald of Guernicus: That's a load of dead green men

Bolad: Grody

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: im just generally aware of things

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Hazm should stay behind as he doesn't stand to gain labor points for travelling hundreds of miles away from his parish

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: his parish is uninhabited

Bolad: Uhh I wonder if their plantiness made the Herbam blight kill them, or if strabo did it

Fiorella of Jerbiton: It's becoming rehabited

Due to his efforts

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: stringini

devil's fav demon (GM): the green men have been impaled on trees and bushes and their corpses are rotting and blackening. the plants surrounding the stone gate have also died.

Bolad: This is, frankly, bad ass

Giraldo of Milan: i wonder if this is the herbam blight

Derfel ap Cadwaladr touches the relic in the haft of his spear.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: There's lots of usable buildings, and the arable land can be used once the miasma from the aura blows away

On Ponza

devil's fav demon (GM): It's a scene of intense violence that is rotting away

very metal.

Archibald of Guernicus: This is fucking badass

Bolad: good point about ponza actually

Giraldo of Milan: I inspect the bodies for signs of other, non impalement wounds.

Bolad: it should be good to go by next spring

Archibald of Guernicus: "Careful, Giraldo. This snake likes tae leave traps lying around."

actually Archibald has 0 communication now instead of -3 so he loses the latin accent

Bolad: "The Horde would leave remains like this as a warning to those who thought of resisting. Petty trickery if Strabo hasn't the means to back up his threats."

Giraldo of Milan: "If it was even his doing."

"Could be multiple monsters."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: archibald should take a presence penalty if he doesnt talk in a charming brogue

Archibald of Guernicus: "He relies on herbam magic, now is the time to strike."

devil's fav demon (GM): what are you rolling to inspect this, giraldo

Giraldo of Milan: he should take a presence penalty if theres no englishmen around to keep him proper

hm

i guess chirurgy

is it per or int

devil's fav demon (GM): per

you can technically roll any ability with any characteristic

both would apply in this situation

Bolad: "Is it within the power of Strabo to move the plants like they were weapons?"

Archibald of Guernicus: "Yes."

"It's how he kills."

devil's fav demon (GM): the herbam blight has affected the forest, as a place with a magic 3 aura, and the plants and bodies are crumbling away in your hands as you examine them. The bird must have picked the best looking bone of the lot.

Bolad: "We should torch any plants we come across then"

Archibald of Guernicus: "However, his magic is deeply ineffective in this current blight, he might be able to muster it only once or twice in a battle, if that."

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "Hopefully we catch him by surprise, so he doesn't use up any of that literally priceless Herbam vis."

devil's fav demon (GM): any wood is blackened, and leaves slick with the residue of miasma.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "All this dead wood? The whole forest will go up."

Bolad: "Good. Let the steppe reclaim it."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: is that enough to see beatrice

Fiorella of Jerbiton: What's Beatrice's Might?

devil's fav demon (GM): After all the tracks you laid earlier examining the area, Giraldo can't tell if he's looking at yours or another individual's.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Also I think Derfel can take half of a Magic aura as a Second Sight bonus

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: he should have more sight but, shockingly, i have a lot of seasons banked

Archibald of Guernicus: I dont think the ghost just teleported along either, anyway

devil's fav demon (GM): Derfel and Archibald look through the gate and see another, different forest. This one is also rotting and dying.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: can she not teleport around

i think its a general spirit thing but i'm probably wrong

Archibald of Guernicus: "A regio, sodales."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Is this your garden?"

devil's fav demon (GM): Awareness, uh, whatever Guli's plant skill was, to tease out another detail from here

Archibald of Guernicus: "By which I mean, grogs" as I realise none of my sodales came here

devil's fav demon (GM): Derfel and Archibald.

Archibald of Guernicus: Apothecary?

Bolad: tfw no sodales

devil's fav demon (GM): It will become obvious when you enter, but

If you can see it from here it might help.

I'm here Archibald

Archibald of Guernicus: I dont have apothecary

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I can teleport myself

devil's fav demon (GM): meant awareness OR apothecary

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I have Magic Lore

Which includes plants of virtue

And mandragoras, etc

Bolad:

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I dunno

Archibald of Guernicus: "Fiorella, a word." I relay what I notice inside the regio, namely that the rot is natural and seems completely different to the herbam rot

Fiorella of Jerbiton: We were talking about Apothecary so I thought knowledge of magic plants might apply

Bolad: I have no idea what im rolling magic lore for either btw. im just aping the rest

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "Interesting."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "It's all rotten inside there."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr looks around, handsomely.

Archibald of Guernicus: "We should step forward carefully."

I apply sidestep, and give it to everyone present who wants it

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I'll put up sidestep

Giraldo of Milan: me too

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I cant' cast Shriek as it costs vis

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i'll take sidestep

seems like it should interfere with my powers

devil's fav demon (GM): Well, you can use those magic lore rolls on what Archibald just said, maybe. Let me confer with another GM.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: but i was just going to poke things with my weapon anyway

(From devil's fav demon (GM)): idk if 11 magic lore is enough to hypothesize that this place might be disconnected from the magic realm

(From devil's fav demon (GM)): your call.

(From devil's fav demon (GM)): since its bolad who rolled highest

(To devil's fav demon): nope, it'd be magic theory, and advanced at that. likely season of labwork is needed at least

devil's fav demon (GM): sidestep seems like a good idea

ok no magic lore rolls right now.

Giraldo of Milan: i was going to say archers are powerful now but they dont have arrows because all their wood is rotted

devil's fav demon (GM): but theres something really weird about what Archibald just told you all.

Giraldo of Milan: damn forests are just gonna be gone

Bolad: I asked Nevio to craft arrows of Bone for me.

Giraldo of Milan: thatll take decades to grow back

Bolad: just for this occasion.

devil's fav demon (GM): ok that's all the buffs?

you're going in?

Archibald of Guernicus: yeah, nothing else applicable

Bolad: I suppose I'll sidestep too.

And I am ready to dive in.

Archibald of Guernicus: besides the spell that tells me if im affected by any hostile magic, which i always cast, every morning

devil's fav demon (GM): You are not currently affected by hostile magic.

you enter in the Pleasaunce.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: WHATS THE AQ

Bolad: I keep a constant eye on our distance to any trees or other plants that are near enough to hurt us when animated

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: does everyone present have MR

Archibald of Guernicus: Bolad and Giraldo dont

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: well, they're going to regret that when i catch them in my incredibly powerful aoe effect

devil's fav demon (GM): The garden has changed in a significant way since your last visit.

Bolad: If I get Mind Controlled I apologize for shooting you.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "We should send in some crows if we suspect a trap."

Giraldo of Milan: derfels ult

Archibald of Guernicus: "Here's the plan, Fiorella. I'll drop his parma and you swarm him with birds. Keep him from casting anything that way. Don't kill him, just incapacitate him."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: hmm

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "I'll try. It's not a nonlethal spell however."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: even after you drop his parma i still cant frightful presence him, because he'll have form bonus

Win

devil's fav demon (GM): The plants of Mandragora, venomous, thorny, fungus that feeds on rot, etcetera, have taken dominance of the garden. What was once a bounty of edible fruits and useful tools is now deep in the autumn season.

Archibald of Guernicus: "It's better to risk killing him than risk him getting away."

Bolad: Lords of Men had stats for Flaming Arrows so I'd like to use those. they get less attack and range but more damage.

Giraldo of Milan: thats an enchantment 4 spell

devil's fav demon (GM): Strabo is here, and he has shifted the power dynamic of the magical plants. The garden is in a wane.

Strangely, the Herbam blight does not seem to be present. Those with Second Sight see no miasma.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: definitely strabo, and not malachiasz

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "Hopefully he cannot cast Shriek in these condtiions, and Bolad should be able to hit him."

Bolad: Shouldn't the Mandragora have rotted from the blight too?

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Wait

I'll try casting Shriek on myeslf

Giraldo of Milan: the mandragora eats rot or something

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: did we bring any grogs

Fiorella of Jerbiton: To see if ti works here.

WIthout vis

Giraldo of Milan: we brought you derfel

Bolad: we're all grogs.

devil's fav demon (GM): Fiorella, your spell successfully casts in the magic 6 aura.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "Hold up."

devil's fav demon (GM): this is a puzzler.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i fix my piercing gaze on giraldo

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh, its not a magic aura, its infernal

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "Shriek of the INcoming Shaft works here. That means Strabo can utilize Herbam here."

Archibald of Guernicus: or something else

"That's bad."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Nothing to fear."

Bolad: "Then this shall be a proper battle."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: all right.

devil's fav demon (GM): The mushrooms around you begin to change color. Others, farther away, change in response, and so on.

Your presence is noted.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i checked and the only spot in mythic europe that has ironwood is the very edge of persia

im good to go.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "I'm not leaving my feet on the ground."

Giraldo of Milan: go

Fiorella the Raven: Bamf

Archibald of Guernicus: "Let's do this."

devil's fav demon (GM): Strabo is where the orchard of Malus' crab apples once stood. He stands with the Mandragora at his side, and is surrounded by barren olive trees.

Fiorella the Raven: Plug your ears

Giraldo of Milan: i will take fiorellas advice

Archibald of Guernicus: Anyone without MR, plug up

Richard Strabo: whoever's here, put your tokens down so i know you're here

i completely forgot about all the weird powers the mandrake had

Bolad: I stuff cotton into my ears.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i have 10 mr i think.

Richard Strabo: everyone is stuffing cotton or just the people without MR

Bolad: sir oak should not be here

i think he would be a bad choiec for fighting against a herb wizard.

Richard Strabo: thats probably a good idea lol

Bolad: oh shit. its the ghost of malach.

Richard Strabo: "How the? What? You're supposed to be Marched! You meddling little turds!"

Fiorella the Raven: Hello Violante

Covenfolk: "Salve."

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Magus!"

"Your crime spree ends here!"

Fiorella the Raven: Violante has probably committed suicide after she lacked the Herbs to combat her depression

Bolad: Bolad Initiative: 67

Archibald of Guernicus: Penetration?

Oh hes not casting it on anyone

Richard Strabo: no

Mastery 2, Penetration. Within seconds, this spell creates a traight wall of woody, thorny bushes up to 20 paces long, 1 pace thick, and 4 paces high. The thorns, which are unnaturally resilient, have a +15 Soak, are cut by edged weapons only, and cutting through requires inflicting a Heavy Wound. Bodily forcing one’s way through the wall requires a Strength stress roll of 9+ and does +15 damage whether the attempt succeeds or fails. If the roll botches, an additional 5 points of damage are suffered. The wall grows out of existing bushes or fertile soil. An Athletics stress roll against an Ease Factor of 9 allows a character to scale the wall, but the character takes +10 damage in the process.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: is he stealing gulielmus's strat

that he never actually pulled off

Richard Strabo: I don't want to calculate penetration but i should. fuck.

no, i don't care, its strictly anti grog and he has shitty pen anyway.

Fiorella the Raven: Who's shield grogging for Archibald?

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: where is the wall

An olive tree: the green wavy line

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i don't see it

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh, no-one's grogging for me, but that attack misses

sidestep

Bolad: i didn't think i had a horse

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: hang on the maps all fucked up

Bolad: since we teleported

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: im going to refresh

Fiorella the Raven: Okay

Bolad: But if it's okay with GM. I want a horse.

cool spell

Fiorella the Raven: Is the wall like a shell?

Mandragora, a Mandrake: ph shit

hold on.

Fiorella the Raven: Or can it be flown over?

Mandragora, a Mandrake: i need to see the new magic creature pen rules

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: the wall is 4 paces high

Bolad: penetration is Might + Aura + Penetration Score - the cost of the effect.

Mandragora, a Mandrake: this could be bad tbh.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: oh i see what you mean

it shouldn't be a dome

Fiorella the Raven: Yeah

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: just a line

Fiorella the Raven: I can still attack the mandragora

I'll go after Strabo when his parma's down

I am sorry to say.

Bolad: oh!

thats rough

Archibald of Guernicus: Death Prophecy (Dying in a garden from a plant)

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: I do not die.

Your move.

Bolad: What is Derfel's death prophecy?

Mandragora, a Mandrake: If Derfel has a death prophecy he yawns really loud as soon as the plant yells and doesn't hear it.

Fiorella the Raven: Derfel had cotton in his ears all along

Or that

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: Death Prophecy (Iron)

Mandragora, a Mandrake: Your move, all.

Fiorella the Raven: That's pretty cool

Archibald of Guernicus: the screeching sounds like iron nails on a chalkboard,

Mandragora, a Mandrake: kljnaio

Derfel ap Cadwaladr yawns really loud, handsomely.

Fiorella the Raven: lol

johns: While mousing over one of the modifier icons, you can press a number to make it show up on the icon

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: is exertion in or out

Fiorella the Raven: No damage

Bolad: At the top of my fucking lungs: SCRUB

Richard Strabo: the birds fly towards strabo and roost in the olive trees, chirping happily

Fiorella the Raven: There's always next turn

They just fail to do damage this turn

Archibald of Guernicus: He has to spend a full turn putting his parma up, if he chooses to do that

which he didnt

so next turn he has no parma either

Richard Strabo: he's all flustered.

Archibald of Guernicus: alright boys, we can do this

Richard Strabo: Bolad?

Fiorella the Raven: The birds peck him until sunset

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: our magi are casting through the wall

please undo the past 2 turns

Fiorella the Raven: The birds flew over it

I specifically asked about that

Bolad: GM, am I able to shoot Strabo or am I blocked by wall?

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: can you set them on a target you can't sense

Richard Strabo: The wall has transparency. It's very important to see through the wall in case someone tries to throw a sack of summas over.

Fiorella the Raven: Yes

They're independently intelligent

Richard Strabo: It's just thorns.

Fiorella the Raven: They're created at Touch range and use their own wings to get around

Richard Strabo: You can shoot strabo through the wall or you can move slightly around it because the wall is only 20 feet long

Bolad: I will try to shoot Strabo then.

Richard Strabo: it blocks people.

rip Richard.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: who does bolad set on fire

Archibald of Guernicus: Himself

Richard Strabo: himself, since the arrow breaks and falls into his shirt.

or whatever he's wearing.

Fiorella the Raven: I will make a Rusticani fletcher when Fiorella dies

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: rusticani hate working together

Fiorella the Raven: Magic arrows with 69 penetration

Bolad: Frankly I deserve it for trying to kill steal from Archibald

Fiorella the Raven: THankfully our current Rusticani is trapped in Gitmo

Richard Strabo: if that's the rest of this player turn, Strabo will turn into ivy.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: guilielmus could make things to tie to arrows, and make magic arrows that way.

he tries to blend in with the ground cover and slink into hiding.

Bolad: Well if he wants to do that, we can just burn the whole place to the ground

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh, you said we can see through the vines right?

An olive tree: Yeah.

Archibald of Guernicus: Leap of homecoming still covers teleporting to whats in sight range of you

An olive tree: You see him shrink down. Also you have the AC.

Oh nice.

Archibald of Guernicus: It's time to finish this personally

Archibald of Guernicus: its how teleportation spells actually work

you can always teleport to ACs, for instance

with seven league stride

An olive tree: afk 1 sec. very sorry.

Archibald of Guernicus: but only if the AC is in range of your teleport

the final guideline has no distance limit

Fiorella the Raven: Phew, no botch this time

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: what

Archibald of Guernicus: thats how teleportation works, its how magic in ars works!

you can target either something visible to you or an AC

normally spells need AC range to target acs you cant see but teleportation does not use this restriction since the target is yourself and the AC/what you can see is the destination

Fiorella the Raven: Yes

An olive tree: yeah

Fiorella the Raven: The defense bonus from both stacks

An olive tree: the trees are kind of shitty and are just good soak bodies

and you deflect its blow easily

archibald i think is the only one who acted this round

Fiorella the Raven: I did

I spent it all on movement

Richard Strabo: ahh

Derfel ap Cadwaladr dodges the branches gracefully (and handsomely).

Richard Strabo: score

Fiorella the Raven: I'm direction gthe summoned flock to make sure they don't lose track of the vine

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: how are you doing 32 damage

Richard Strabo: 15 soak so another light.

physical damage is attack advantage +damage and if he has a damaging weapon and a lot of str it makes sense

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: oh hes got a great weapon doesnt he

Richard Strabo: strabo returns to human form and cowers.

Giraldo of Milan: yeah

im not like derfel

i dont use bad weapons

Richard Strabo: "Have mercy! I have secrets! I can share!"

Fiorella the Raven: "At your word, Archibald."

Bolad: Cut off his hands so you can keep him prisoner and not let him cast.

Fiorella the Raven: I'll call off the murder of crows if Archibald gives the word

Richard Strabo: The trees keep attacking.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: for berserk purposes

Bolad: Soak +7 on Bolad.

Richard Strabo: +20 attack advantage

Fiorella the Raven: I think so Derfel

By RAW you do damage even on 1-5

Richard Strabo: yeah

Archibald of Guernicus: my base damage is 8, 20 advantage

his terram soak was 2?

Fiorella the Raven: And making it fatigue wasn't intended as a nerf on Berserk

Archibald of Guernicus: actually can i retract that conf so its just an incap wound

instead of a killing one

you can make it a scuffle

but that wont cut his hands off.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "Can't you suppress his magic, albanwyr?"

Fiorella the Raven: Oh yeah

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i missed going insane by 1

Fiorella the Raven: I got Archibald an AC to Magvillus as he asked

Since that only took ike five minutes

Richard Strabo: tree takes a light wound and is set on fire.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: TRANSLATORS NOTE: albanwyr means scotsman

Richard Strabo: "Aaauuugh!"

he crumples, bleeding rapidly from his arm stumps

Archibald of Guernicus: Nice

Fiorella the Raven: Anyway I'm sorta spacing out since we don't want to kill Strabo with birds and attacking trees with birds doesn't make much sense even if its mechanically possible

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: you can pevi him to wreck his casting totals.

Archibald of Guernicus: Attack the trees with birds

Bolad: Give that man a hand. haha.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: is what i was getting at.

Fiorella the Raven: Fine

Archibald of Guernicus: I cant spont without ceremonial which is slow

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: jesus

Archibald of Guernicus: the price we pay for vis discounts on rituals

Fiorella the Raven: So one tree has -3?

Richard Strabo: Now that Strabo is incapacitated the trees stop attacking you.

Fiorella the Raven: Ok

Thank you

Derfel ap Cadwaladr salutes his formidable opponent.

Fiorella the Raven: I can summon two flocks at once so we would have been tracking four flocks eventually fighting the trees

Richard Strabo: Strabo will die without care, but he's Marched anyway, it's fine.

Fiorella the Raven: He's gonna get interrogated at Magvillus

Archibald can teleport him there

Richard Strabo: Oh sick.

Archibald of Guernicus: Alright. I use FFM and teleport strabo to magvillus, then follow afterwards and haul him inside, explaining that its a marched magus who framed a quaesitor and whoever is investigating Tasso's death should be informed.

Bolad: May I humbly suggest, instead of taking him to Magvillus, you encase him waist high in stone at Vardian's Tomb and extract all his juice secrets from his brain for ourselves.

Archibald of Guernicus: Hmmm

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: "That was an archmagus? I didn't even break a sweat."

Archibald of Guernicus: we do have an AC to home, but he risks bleeding out

But

Lavinia could keep him alive, its a fair point

Bolad: You have a doctor at home

Fiorella the Raven: Lavinia can put a tourniquet on his arms

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: does the cyprian oath apply to marched magi

Archibald of Guernicus: "Good idea Bolad, we should find out all we can before turning him over to face justice."

I'll take him back to Vardian's Tomb instead

Fiorella the Raven: "Did Archibald say he was coming back to teleport you guys home?"

devil's fav demon (GM): Hey, in a direct fight he was a joke but this guy was a pain in the ass until you cornered him with nowhere else to go.

Bolad: he was cornered by a bunch of psychopaths

Fiorella of Jerbiton turns human

Archibald of Guernicus: Oh, I take an AC to the garden before leaving

devil's fav demon (GM): As the dust settles, you can examine the garden at your leisure. Strabo had moved his lab materials here and I'll post his books and items in the thread later tonight after I write them up.

He had a talisman with enchantments, at least.

Bolad: Herbam enchantments are very valuable now

devil's fav demon (GM): The three magic plants are, now, all dead, and it will take some time for the garden to return to its natural state.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: man: the least dangerous game

Archibald of Guernicus: Anyway, the gist is, we get Lavinia to heal him, seal him up while we extract all his magical secrets and a full confession/explanation of the Tasso stuff

then hand him over to magvillus

devil's fav demon (GM): thats pretty psycho

i like it

Fiorella of Jerbiton: "So many non-Bjornaer tend to neglect their Animal studies. What a pity."

Archibald of Guernicus: Bringing in a marched magus should up my reputation a little at least

Fiorella of Jerbiton pets a summoned crow, its beak covered in green mandragora goo.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Nice

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: lol

Bolad: Are all the spells marked with a T at the end also on his talisman?

devil's fav demon (GM): Yeah

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: i went on an adventure with derfel. incredible

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I'll start training Flora this year if someone can send me the sheet

devil's fav demon (GM): wait no

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: now i just need to rebuild his entire sheet from scratch

devil's fav demon (GM): they're not On his talisman, they're affected by the talisman's shape material bonuses

iirc

Bolad: got it

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Flora can learn to read from Faustus and learn Magic Theory from books without opened arts

devil's fav demon (GM): 8 xp because it was short and im going to give you loot

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: johns please see my question in discord

devil's fav demon (GM): but you Got Him

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: or, ill just repeat it here. can derfel learn hebrew during his work seasons

Bolad: you should ask the magi

ICly.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I'll open Flora's arts this season since I don't get any interesting exposure from it

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: it would be in past seasons

Bolad: will he learn enough to translate hebrew books

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: if the magi want that

johns: T'would be cool.

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: the pact is sealed

Fiorella of Jerbiton: If no one sends me Flora's sheet I'm just going to assume 3 Intelligence, no important virtues except Inventive Genius, and no early childhood skills worth mentioning

devil's fav demon (GM): smart

johns: o_O

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I searched badgame with "flora subject:"ars"" and discord for "flora", boyar mentioned he was making the sheet and that's the last message

johns: gah

okay ill do it

gimme a few days

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: ok. my list of cool activities to do in work seasons is:

Giraldo of Milan: the traitor

Fiorella of Jerbiton: That's fine

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: study hebrew, write books, train single weapon, train leadership, train carouse

Giraldo of Milan: learn giraldos cult lore

and drink his evil potion

Archibald of Guernicus: no boyrep made the sheet, i remember seeing it

maybe i can find it

Fiorella of Jerbiton: She should be 7 in 1345

Archibald of Guernicus: gimme a few minutes

Fiorella of Jerbiton: So at 8, when I open her arts, her Int penalty will be -3

Archibald of Guernicus: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1luXzemhfke5jIQfObIgoqjZrZGFiKmXmcj7aLXbTHS8/edit#gid=0

and there we go

johns: dys do you have any info for Bruno? he turns 5 this year and will begin apprentice

Giraldo of Milan: nice stats

what a dumb child

Fiorella of Jerbiton: lol

Giraldo of Milan: stupid bitch

Fiorella of Jerbiton: he didn't mark what they're supposed to be before teh penalty for being young

Archibald of Guernicus: oh, i dont, he turns 5 in 1346?

I can make some over the week then

you can work out the proper value by removing the penalty at least

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Ok

I copied the sheet, I'll go through and update it to her current age

johns: GM can you tell us any cool shit we learn from Strabo?

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Wait why is Intelligence worse than Dex and Quickness

Giraldo of Milan: children are stupid as hell

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Is this a 0 Int magi

Giraldo of Milan: but fast and grabby

Fiorella of Jerbiton: She's going to be 0 Int if her current Int penalty is -4

To generate a child, use the normal

devil's fav demon (GM): Strabo has 10 magic theory (8 plus puissance) so he can tell you some shit he's been thinking about.

johns: Well she had a retarded parent so it makes sense.

devil's fav demon (GM): re: this garden.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Oaky

I can deal with a 1 Int apprentice

johns: Let's promise to give him new arms in exchange for talking

devil's fav demon (GM): I can do it in the thread if you want johns, im writing the reward post now

johns: then.... not give them.

devil's fav demon (GM): OWNED

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: let's give him arms that only last for diameter

devil's fav demon (GM): lol

johns: The only "arms" you are getting are the loving arms of God our creator as you transcend life into his embrace in the Heavenly kingdom.

Giraldo of Milan: good session, gamers

Fiorella of Jerbiton: https://puu.sh/zUfyD/28b3689f0e.png

here's what they are if I add +4 to everything that was listed

I don't think they were intended to be like this

johns: I love to murdwer

Giraldo of Milan: maybe he made this when we were using characteristics as abilities

Fiorella of Jerbiton: lol

devil's fav demon (GM): lol

well moe that was not a conventional session but what are you thinking about joining

Fiorella of Jerbiton: I'll fix up the characteristics and then ask johns if they're okay

Oh wait I get it now, had to open Apprentices which ahs the rules for toddlers

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: its +5.

Fiorella of Jerbiton: Yeah

This kid has thief stats

Good DNA Zita

https://puu.sh/zUfSZ/bddda7ccba.png yep -5

So if they either have 4 Magic Theory or 1 MT and Inventive Genius, they can start being a boon in the lab

I'll see how our library looks for that purpose

Derfel ap Cadwaladr: winter 1344 was a free season right

devil's fav demon (GM): ya
