I'm back!

Find a sword or knife...

[Andres]

One of the dead guards has a sword and there are three spare knives in the church. Take your pick.

Shoddy Short Sword [equipped]

So a broken bottle is just as good as a melee weapon as a shoddy short sword? That's seems a bit iffy me. I suggest either making the sword better or giving the bottle a chance of breaking when it's used, if not just making it a 1-use thing.

Try healing my wounds, or ask for someone to help do so.
Rest to regain health.

[Andres]

You regain health by resting at a rate of 1HP or 10% HP (whichever is favourable) per turn. See OP.

We are allowed to make a new character if our old one dies, right? if so, get me back in there!

((I've been thinking for a while about how to resolve this. I want you all to be pretty crappy swordsman until you know more than just which end is pointy. So I think it'll be that swords offer a larger bonus, but that bonus is unattainable until you have at least one level Swordsman or Martial Proficiency. The difference is Swordsman will grant a bonus +1, and Martial proficiency will be nonspecific but grant no bonus. Sounds like a good system?))

Adding you to the waitlist.

[Peradon]

In that case, grab a sword!

((Not really. We don't know what weapons are covered under Martial Proficiency. Hunting bows? Boar spears? Broken bottles? There's still the problem of broken bottles being crappy weapons that break easily which isn't well-reflected in the game. Maybe have them break on a 2 or lower.))

Someone might want to pick up the cloth. And after you guys have subdued the people, you should explore the cellar.

((It's in my inventory; it's mine. Mineeee.))

Loot a knife.

((Go for it. Put that Dirty Cloth right up against your bleeding wound. I'm sure you won't get an infection out of it.))

((Peasants are crappy with all weapons. So that explains why everything seems creepy right now. Also, this is pretty much a spontaneous brawl. If you guys take the barony, and live long enough to get real skills, you'll notice equipment making a larger difference. I was going to define skills more precisely as you gain access to them, but I can write up a good start on some combat and non combat skills. I'll get that done today. ))

Keep in mind that we voted on 1 turn a day. That doesn't mean waiting 1 day for everyone to post and then posting the next day if we're still waiting for someone, it means 1 turn per day regardless of whether everyone's posted. Just thought I'd mention it considering what happened two turns ago. (Assuming that that's what happened.)

((Go for it. Put that Dirty Cloth right up against your bleeding wound. I'm sure you won't get an infection out of it.))

((Living long enough to die by infection is a favorable outcome.))

((Patience young padawan. We voted for ~1 turn per day. The squiggle means the GM is always in charge. I reserve the right to delay or post as I see fit, though it will be very near at least once a day. ~~~~~~~~~~))

((Yeah, you guys are rebelling against your liege with pretty much no equipment. Infection is an awfully long term consideration given the circumstances.))

Here's the start of the skill lists. They will be continually fleshed out.
