[Recap]<br>
<br>
From Varo: [Re: Actions]<br>
[Sorry if this seems a bit long, but I hope I <br>
now better understand the rpg of RQ (I hope) so <br>
trying to get into it more. I am intrigued as to how this story will go.] ;)<br>
<br>
After a good, if slightly shortened, night’s sleep, Varo awoke & …<br>
<br>
[OOC – I am assuming a woman cook at the <br>
ttavern; if it’s a man, you’ll have to <br>
re-type all the pronouns – sorry ‘bout that]<br>
GM: Ack. A very good post. Thanks.<br>
<br>
-------------------------------------------------------------<br>
[New Stuff]<br>
<br>
[Windsay, Death week, Storm Season, 1625, Dragon Pass, Genertela, Glorantha]<br>
[Town of Demark]<br>
[Time: 7:10 am – using earth equivalent for ease]<br>
<br>
After a good, if slightly shortened, night's <br>
sleep, Varo awoke & made her morning prayers to <br>
Ernalda, The Earth Queen, Lady of Earth's Balance <br>
& Harmony. Varo tried her best to keep to a <br>
personal schedule of morning & evening prayers, <br>
and tried to remember a short reminder-prayer at <br>
mid-day to help keep her in Harmony with her <br>
surroundings & do what she can to keep the <br>
Balance of the Earth Queen, but sometimes forgot <br>
when she felt comfortable in her surroundings.<br>
<br>
She realized that today she was joining a <br>
very mixed company, all of which were strangers <br>
to her & to each other, under a new & temporary <br>
employer who wanted to walk (walk!) to his <br>
destination. She found she was a little nervous, <br>
although not afraid. She took a couple minutes, <br>
after her packing was complete, to meditate on <br>
this new venture & realized she would have to <br>
learn to deal with this as a student learning of <br>
new cultures in class – only this class was on <br>
the road! She gathered her pack & gear, and <br>
ventured to the stables, where it was still dark, <br>
and saddled & packed her gear on her horse, much <br>
to Dusty's pre-dawn disgust, then walked the mare <br>
to a hitching post outside the tavern & putting <br>
an nosebag on the sleepy mare for an oats snack, entered the tavern to eat.<br>
<br>
Varo realized she had been too cheerful & in <br>
a celebratory mood last night, and realized this <br>
morning that although breakfast was a good, solid <br>
meal, that the cook looked distinctly grouchy. As <br>
she finished the meal, she quietly went up to the <br>
bar behind which the cook was stirring a large <br>
pot, & called softly to her to come to the <br>
counter. As the cook started to (perhaps) <br>
complain about leaving her stirring, Varo quickly <br>
flashed a copper at her & the lady, already <br>
looking tired for this new day, came over. Varo <br>
thanked her quietly in Tradetalk, & slipped her <br>
two coppers. “For your extra service this day, <br>
good woman. The food was good & I thank you for <br>
your extra trouble for us.” The cook looked a <br>
bit happier, and Varo picked up her bow & sheath <br>
of arrows & left to gather her horse & meet <br>
everyone at the East gate. Today, she wore her <br>
rapier & carried her self-bow over her shoulder <br>
with her arrows & backpack. Her shield & javelin <br>
were on her horse, along with her other gear. She <br>
still wore the tunic under her leather armor & <br>
the wide-brimmed hat to shade her eyes.<br>
<br>
As she approached the gate, she looked for <br>
her party members, and began to introduce <br>
herself, just her name & where she was from <br>
(Nochet city in Esrolia), to the other members. <br>
If they seemed willing, she shook hands, but <br>
otherwise just nodded with respect. She knew it <br>
would take time to get to know everyone.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, she quickly learned that Tarek <br>
& Dusty seemed almost allergic to each other. <br>
Neither seemed happy with the other. For the time <br>
being, she dropped back towards the rear of the <br>
party, leading her horse until they got away from <br>
the more crowded gate area. When she does mount, <br>
she will remain in the rear half of their party <br>
for the time being. She silently prayed a quick <br>
thanks to Ernalda, then turned her eyes again to <br>
the road. She will not speak to anyone unless <br>
they speak to her first, as she is studying the <br>
country around her, Tarek'™s two companions & her <br>
own party members. Where will her role fall in this new company?<br>
<br>
The party enters deep into the woods that <br>
slowly turn to moderate size forest. Jaren asks Murask why not use the roads?”<br>
<br>
“The roads go west toward Sartar proper and a <br>
large city. They do go north through serious <br>
mountains then slightly turns north east. But <br>
it'd add a week maybe even 2 weeks to our <br>
trip. In this case a direct route is faster.”<br>
<br>
As the party moves on Varen moves to the rear <br>
and talks to Varo. Varo can notice a strong non <br>
Essrola accent. She figures he is native to her <br>
own land. Varen asks about her home, her business <br>
trips and what she trades. Varo can tell he is a <br>
charmer and flirts a lot. But being only female here may just demand that?<br>
<br>
Around mid-sun the group stops and takes a <br>
lunch break. Marusk does a perimeter tour to <br>
check for tracks and see what may be in the <br>
area. Bears and Wolves are probably the wost <br>
aside from monsters. But he returns satisfied.<br>
<br>
Varen and Jaren talk in whispers. As the <br>
Dwarf tells of great battles to entertain the group.<br>
<br>
Varen nods to Jaren, “if we are being <br>
followed Marusk would've detected it. But keep <br>
an eye out.” He whispers and one can hear it.<br>
<br>
The group moves on seeing at most a deer or <br>
rabbit. The hunter in the group takes the rabbit <br>
down and the party has dinner tonight. As the <br>
shadows draw close the sun is lowering but its <br>
actually only 430/5pm. But the forest canopy makes it far darker.<br>
<br>
Varen decides its time to camp for <br>
night. The party even walking has made about 10 miles so a good amount.<br>
<br>
Rocky has no tent so stands by the future <br>
campfire as the pit is being made for it. Varo <br>
is in her tent as she places items in it for the <br>
night. Juno has no tent but is off gathering <br>
wood for the fire some distance away – around 60 <br>
feet away to east of camp. Klorgar has no tent <br>
as well but is on sentry duty to the north of the <br>
camp about 20 feet on a clockwise patrol. Varen <br>
is near Rocky and Jaren by his side. Varen and <br>
Jaren have tents but are not setting the up yet. <br>
Razgor also has no tent so is around the future <br>
campfire ensuring the horses are tied up about 15 feet away.<br>
<br>
So aside from Varo in tent, 1 on patrol and 1 <br>
gathering wood all are around the camp center.<br>
<br>
About 20 minutes into making camp Jaren turns <br>
and draws his sword. He stares at the south and <br>
hears a few twigs break. As others turn the <br>
sentry moves to the south as well to investigate <br>
but behind bushes as he moves in that direction.<br>
<br>
“Hail!” A voice is heard coming from the shadows.<br>
<br>
Then two men emerge from the dim light and <br>
around bushes. “Greetings! May we enter the <br>
camp?” They are wearing light travel tunics, <br>
leather armor and swords still in their hip sheaths. Varen nods.<br>
<br>
“We were hunting and...” they get within <br>
about 15-20 feet of Varen and the group around <br>
the future campfire. Jaren frowns and they stop <br>
getting the hint. “Yes. Let's end this <br>
nonsense. You,” he nods at Varen. “left Demark <br>
and the Commander wants what he was owed.”<br>
<br>
Rocky notices 2 other men about 20 feet <br>
behind these 2 hidden in shadows. But based on <br>
noise they are not hiding the fact they are there.<br>
<br>
The speaker pulls out a item that is a round <br>
ball object with a stem about 3 inches under <br>
it. “This here is a fire buzzer. It will <br>
explode and kill us all and take some of the <br>
forest with it. You will return with us or we'll <br>
take what we are owed from the others.”<br>
<br>
Varen stands confident, “bandits are scum! I <br>
owe nothing to you or your town.” He turns to <br>
the others. “Escort this scum away from here! By Force if needed.”<br>
<br>
The man beside the speaker draws his <br>
sword. Metal can be heard as well from the 2 behind them.<br>
<br>
Jaren pulls a axe from his back and with <br>
swift dexterity throws it at the speaker. The <br>
axe goes flying and hits the speaker right in the <br>
head. But the blade is side wise so it smacks <br>
him in the air not digs deep in to his <br>
skull. The impact cracks skin and he stumbles <br>
back a couple feet as his other hand is taken off <br>
the fire buzzer as he tries to regain his <br>
balance. He does not drop the item just holds it <br>
in his left hand at this point.<br>
<br>
GM: Actions? Comments?<br>
<br>
Next Update...Next week...Tue/Wed?<br>
<br>
GM: I had hoped to do more. But started update <br>
6 hours late. So to get this done so next update <br>
can be Saturday I rushed it out. Let me know <br>
what you folks do. I will assume armor is fully <br>
on. Weapons on or nearby. If group simply wants <br>
to boot them out of camp then it'll be a fast <br>
update saturday if combat then will do it sat or Monday if run out of time.<br>
<br>
So the one shot. One player had to bow out <br>
due to emergency so just us three. Googly I must <br>
admit did things bad but not so bad. It was her <br>
first ever rpg. But she WAS IC as a chaotic elf <br>
paranoid. With that said it did bog things down <br>
a bit. Even surprised Booty the gm. So for those <br>
who were not there it was a modern dnd which I <br>
NEVER played. Set in 1990s. So was not <br>
prepared. Spells, swords and modern gns. ;) We <br>
were part of a search/rescue team to hep deal <br>
with those who have gone inside a cave not to <br>
return. From a deaf witness who was attacked <br>
inside we learned it was some music of some kind <br>
or song that made folks crazy. So Player 101 get <br>
ears plugged up. I played a Aasmiar Ranger and <br>
Taib/panda played a Goliath. So 3 of us enter <br>
and quickly encounter a stone golem. We deal with <br>
it and move down a passage. Where one member of <br>
team attacks us. We incapacitate. But Goog makes <br>
it look like (invisible) she was attacked and <br>
tries to turn the 2 of us against each other. So <br>
this draged on trying to figure out this <br>
situation. We exit. I Heal (lesser restoration) <br>
the insane person and so we save one. We go back <br>
in and find a wounded Googoogly and a dead team <br>
mate. We take them out and question her. But in <br>
end its decided to cut our losses. Even as at <br>
least 3 others are in cave missing. Too <br>
dangerous. I was outvoted but the cave was <br>
destroyed and so we left. A year later we are <br>
watching news. A volcano erupts at that <br>
spot. The gal who ran in to find her love comes <br>
out and starts to sing. Then enchants the news <br>
crew. End Scene. So a possible part 2 could be <br>
out eventually. Booty admitted that he had <br>
countless Cultist and a lava monster in the cave <br>
and we'd probably have been TPKed. Which I <br>
personally do not like to kill folks just like <br>
that. So its good we did not follow through. We <br>
did save 1 which is 1 more than last few times he <br>
has run that adventure. So that's a plus. For <br>
those who stayed you may have noticed easter eggs <br>
from me. My name was Varen Nor Tarek. :) Also I <br>
was doing stuff that will be important later in <br>
this adventure. If you heard the full session or <br>
pulled the VOD video on demand from stream then <br>
you may get the gist of the easter egg. If <br>
not. Too bad. ;) About a hour till end of <br>
session I was told my headset was cutting <br>
in/out. We were in Discord and I had stream <br>
muted. So did not realize this. It was a old <br>
headset. But next time will use a headset I use <br>
for work. The other 3 were streamers so all had <br>
good web cam and headsets for their streaming. I <br>
did not. :) Hope you enjoyed it and I gave you a <br>
feel of my style and who I sounded like. :)<br>
