A crazed killer somehow managed to murder nine people in the middle of the docks and escape? ???
Quite apart from my OOC confusion at how that is possible, well, this could be an interesting opportunity ICly...

I gotta ask though, Iiteum, did I miss a response from you ICly? No rush if not, just wondering.

Your tavern must be popular enough to earn that many ducats each year!  :P

Also, wow @ the assassin's prowess. Cut near death, then came the comeback!

Because the Drifting Chemise has standards. :P

...No actually we need the money. Please, conduct your shady business deals at the Chemise.

I think someone should make a list of known places that matter.  :P

So far, we have two places for multiple meeting purposes:
Iron Hound - Tavern
Drifting Chemise - Brothel

I was thinking I was boned, but then came the rolls, and a LUDICROUS KILL.

But now I think a LOT more people are gonna watch their backs in the streets

And I hear this killer... Uses a Ralkanian Rapier? How did they get here?

Now you can call this a proper YaK game. Keep up the pace and the style folks, we will go far with this one.

Also, Iitume made a dramatis personae thread, post your PC apps there, so we are not confused as to who is who. There ia lot of us this time around, close to 20 people I believe.

The problem is that I'm waiting on a roll from Shoot first, or some other GM that can roll for our interactions with crime!.

On the other hand, I can roll stuff that doesn't directly relate to my own actions, so if you want to do actions with Habarre feel free.  I'll check whether or not I can roll for the drug stuff.

Future shady business deals may be more egalitarian with their exchanges.


Edit: To clarify the blacksmith's offer in RP, he gives three options.

1. Pay nothing and get no armour bonus.  (Fluff only.)
2. Pay 1 ducat and upgrade your armour bonus from +1 to +2, but suffer a -1 to stealth checks from noise.
3. Pay 2 ducats and upgrade your armour bonus to +2 without the stealth penalty.

I strongly suspect that equipment rules will follow YaK 1's example unless I hear otherwise.  Personal equipment that gives a roll bonus beyond the (free, slightly fluffy) armour and weapon bonuses if you aren't caught unawares in a fight will cost 1 ducat or more per item (e.g. a masterwork blade, heavy armour).  Further skill bonuses will add to that (e.g. weapon skills for duelling, parry or plate-use skills).

Essentially, few free rides in this game.  Be prepared to pay a small fortune to get the edges you need.

Of course, a theoretical fighter who had both a weapon and armour skill (+2) and an elite weapon and armour (+4) would be unbeatable in normal combat.  Good thing that would require a bare minimum of 2 whole ducats (probably more for balance reasons) and 2 skills - and you can still be caught unawares without your weapon or armour.

Edit 2: A killer kills nine people and gets away because the king's chief fencer and guard was able to provide a distraction for the town watch.  We won't say how, but it probably involved alcohol.

Edit 3: Any adventurers out there should seriously consider banding together with the Ranger Captain, though.  I might well have to plot hook people in, because he'll need every bit of help he can get with troll hunting.

No more rapid-fire rolls for a few hours, I've got things to sort out at the moment.

Edit:  I'm also making a call for a season change to summer sometime in the next two weeks.  Anyone else care to second?

Well, we've spend one and a half months for the coronation and tournament, the other one and a half must signify recent events: i.e. Trent's Troll Hunt, Tiakath's Spyhood, Karas' assassination and Habarre's drug trade business.

Second, unless anyone else has business that should be made//landed noble's orders unfinished.

Also, I should've asked Tiakath to go help Trent, had I known earlier.  :P

I say within next week or so. Although Shoot would probably have to return to get the season change off the ground so...

I probably won't be able to help, as I am needed by my King in a week, so it'll be damn hard to go out, help him, and return...

... Or could I?
