[Nirur Torir]

It's been two-ish days. Turn is now.

{1} - In response to complaints, the War King has given the army full authority to kill anyone they want on sight.

New rule: Two {1}s in a row should be enough to leave any character dead or mortally wounded. It's not that I hate you, I just want to kill stuff.

RandomNumberGenerator
{4} - Lithoniel finds a serene grove next to a gently trikling stream, and begins to meditate. Her mind is fully focused.
+2 Meditation! Dabbling Meditation gained!
Mental concentration! +1 to next action if it is mental!

Realmfighter
{3} - Ragnar rips his shirt off and manages to tie a rough tourniquet around his leg. It doesn't completely stop the bleeding, but at least blood is no longer gushing out.
+1 Healer! Dabbling Healer gained!
Blood flow reduced to Bleeding!

Apostolic Nihilist
{2} - The anarchists laugh heartily as Guy proclaims himself their leader.

Dragnar
{1} - Dragnar walks towards the mansion at the center of town. Before he gets very far, he is accosted by a group of four soldiers. "He looks like a malcontent. Search him!"
Upon searching Dragnar, they find the letter, open it, and begin to read it.
"To my dearest princess:
You are the fair light that gives my life worth.
To live at your side, I would do any
task you desired. I love you more then ...

Hey, this is a love note." The soldiers sneer. "Let's see what the War-King has to say about this."
They take Dragnar into custody. Time passes. They now stand before the War-King.

CJ1145
{2} - Richard thinks about sewing the berserker's wound shut, but he hesitates. That berserker is scary.
{3} (Alfred) - The zombie utters some arcane sounding words, but the crystals glow brighter.

Flintus10
{5} - The thief leaves the bar and heads for Gaius' house. It doesn't seem to be that heavily guarded, and he thinks he can use his rope to get into a second-story window from the roof of an adjacent house.
+3 Scouting! Novice Scout gained!

SHAD0Wdump
{6} - Generic guy #1 thinks carefully about how to distract the guards. He takes out two dice and mutters some exotic sounding words in earshot of the guards. Strangely, he suddenly feels tired. He walks up to one set of guards, and shows them the dice, now glowing faintly purple.
"I trapped your souls in these dice, to protect you from foreign evils. Do not lose or let them be damaged, or it will go very badly for you. Here, you ... oops!" He "trips" over a loose board, and the dice fall into the water. The guards dive in after them.
{5} - Generic guy #1 stands perfectly still, a stern look on his face. The cultists watch him reverently, in awe of his decision making abilities. He will certainly make a great decision here. They decide that distracting him with their excellent emo haiku would be a poor choice.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Wait... I didn't make my turn? Two days?

Weird...

I convince the guards I trapped their souls in two dice,and that their eternal survival rests on maintaining the dice,then I drop the two dice into the water.

[Nirur Torir]

I probably shouldn't make a habit of retconning turns for people who miss them, but that's a creative action, and everyone makes mistakes.

Your stated action has been added to the turn, please choose another, and pick which of the two boats you've left unguarded.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Ok,thanks.

"Alright my followers,we are taking this ship(points to the medium two mast ship),I urge you to teach yourselves how to man such a vessel,once we have broken away from the docks I'll proceed to evaluate your earlier work"

I then make my way onto the ship,making a survey of the ship's provisions.

[RandomNumberGenerator]

Unleash a telekenetic blast through the forest.
Just to clearup any confusion, there are two types of psychic attacks; mental which directly attack someone's mind, and telekenetic which unleashes a physical force. Mental attacks are usually stronger, but obviously inneffective against things that lack a brain...

[dragnar]

I order my robot to recharge his cannon while I assemble a weapon of some sort out of stuff from my box. I do all this in the most nonthreatening way possible.
The next few turns could go very badly for me...

[Realmfighter]

Throw the crystals as far from me and civilization i can

[CJ1145]

Now that the batshit crazy necrobarbarian is stabilized to some degree, I focus on healing my own wounds. I tell Alfred to keep trying to raise corpses, even if he has to expend so much energy the crystals shatter from the magnitude of his magic.

[Realmfighter]

You do realize that i'm getting rid of the crystals?

[CJ1145]

I do, but Richard doesn't. I'm not a fan of using OOC-knowledge in the game.

[Apostolic Nihilist]

Immediately begin an elaborate speech explaining the fallacies of someone being in charge of the Anarchists. Suggest attacking the War King head-on.

[Flintus10]

Twirl the rope above my head a few times before throwing it onto the roof of the adjacent house and climb up it.

[Nirur Torir]

{6} - In response to the increased army belligerence due to complaints about increased army presence, the citizens have started openly rioting! Soldiers may be seen fighting rebel militia in the streets! No-one is safe!

SHAD0Wdump
{4} - Generic guy # 1 and his cult walk onto the warship. What luck! Despite the minimal rum, there is enough food and water to last six people for at least three months. Six people would probably be enough to sail the ship with a skeleton crew, but they won't win any fights against armed opponents. There are three ballista on each side, and a catapult on the back on a swivel mount. It probably could not fire over the masts. There are sixty ballista bolts and ten rocks the size of a standard human head.
{2} - The cultists exchange looks. "Master, please have mercy. None of us knows anything about seafaring." Two of them look a bit queasy.
Warship gained! Knowing very little about ship types, I declare it to be an Age of Sail style Corvette. Now I go to Wikipedia to brush up on Corvette lore and fore/aft/port/starboard.
{3} - Wikipedia does not state if Corvettes were 2-masted or 3-masted.
GM knowledge not gained: Dabbling Corvette Loremaster! Ship may be demoted to Sloop-of-War class if Corvettes had 3 masts!

RandomNumberGenerator
{5+1=6} - Lithoniel, still in her trance, concentrates every bit of her will on a single thought: Destruction. Pure destruction. She feels a great energy building up. It continues to build up, but she finds it growing harder to control. It builds up more. She feels it draining her, but is unable to stop, and then, just as she feels she cannot take any more, it escapes, and she loses consciousness. When she awakens. she finds that her surroundings have changed. She is still in the same place, but where a serene grove once stood, there is now only a circle of dirt, 11 meters across. She also has a headache. She notices that the splint is gone, but her finger works again.
+2 Telekinesis! Dabbling Telekinetic Artist gained!
Headache! -1 to any action requiring concentration!
Finger regenerated!

Dragnar
{5+1=6} - While the king is busy looking intimidating, Dragnar creates a one-shot smoke machine from random things in his box. It should stun anyone who breathes the smoke with fear. Dragnar might be able to resist, knowing what's coming. The guards notice, and prepare to confiscate it, when ...
{1} - "Unable to recharge weaponry. Ambient Magical Leyline: not installed. Magical Absorption device: not installed."
The king looks at the mini-mech with alarm. "An assassin-bot! Why didn't you disable it before bringing it before me? Kill them! NOW!" The War-King rapidly leaves through a door behind his throne. Four soldiers and two guards get ready to attack. Oops.
+2 Magi-Tech Engineer!

Realmfighter
{2} - Ragnar picks a crystal up and throws it into a wall. It bounces off, hitting him in his good foot. Good thing lightweight crystals don't hurt.

CJ1145
{3} - The necromancer applies stitches to his arm. Painful, but he bears it.
{4-3=1} (Alfred) - The zombie pours the rest of whatever magical energies he had into trying to raise the dead. The crystals glow slightly more brightly, and he falls over unconscious. He does not appear to have any magic potential anymore. (Well, what did you really expect to happen?)
Bleeding reduced to mild bleeding!
+1 Doctor. Novice Doctor gained!
Alfred unconscious; no magical potential.

Apostolic Nihilist
{6} - Guy begins speaking. He speaks of a great past, long forgotten. A past with no corrupt leaders. A past where all worked together for the common good. He speaks of a great future, not too far away. A future with no corrupt leaders. A future where all work together for the common good. He speaks of a present, long suffered. A present with many corrupt leaders. A present where the leaders take all that the citizens take. A present where all suffer, save very few. He speaks of rebellion.
None remember exactly what he says. He doesn't remember what happened next. He now stands in front of the palace. Behind him, 17 anarchist revolutionaries with varying weapons and light armor. Ahead of him, 26 soldiers with well-maintained weapons and armor have 8 poorly-armed citizens surrounded. 5 look badly wounded.
+2 Persuasion! Novice Persuader gained!

Aww, I was hoping to kill the war-king.
I activate the smoke machine, hold my breath, and get out of here!

with any luck they didn't pay much attention to my face...

[Apostolic Nihilist]

With a yell, draw the attention of the guards. Impress them with my ability to draw forth a claymore from my sleeve.
