"Hearest drex. Once we haveth found and captured the tyrant you can set him on fire and use him as an archery target at the same time. But for the moment we shouldn`t draw too much attention on us."

[dwarfguy2]

"hmph. fine."

go to the forest and randomly slaughter wild animals.

[RandomNumberGenerator]

Converse with the villagers. Hold off using my powers for now, don't want to unsettle them.

[smjjames]

I'm in the proccess of doing the rolls now and its a really good turn. Two people rolled a 5 for information collection, so that is very good, one of our two tricksters failed, the other got a 6. Just have to decide on the unfortunate side effect as I think I've been making the epic success a bit too easy. Also need to figure out where to put Drex.....

Edit: Dwarfguy is having a hard time with his rolls, sorry man.

Turn 4: Hunting using an arrow storm

head off AFTER burning down the forest.

[2] You were about to artillery firebomb the forest when your fellow travellers tell you to stop trying to burn everything.

Drex: "but, there could be spies, assassins, wolves, etc in there... and maybe some birds."
Arngrim: "Hearest drex. Once we haveth found and captured the tyrant you can set him on fire and use him as an archery target at the same time. But for the moment we shouldn`t draw too much attention on us."
Drex: "hmph. fine."

go to the forest and randomly slaughter wild animals.

[2] You go to the forest and fail to find anything.

RAAAEEEEGGGG!!!

[4] You roar angrily and shoot dozens of arrows into nearby trees and anything that moves, making pincushons out of them. After expending your rage, you discover that in your rage, you have hit three birds that had gotten scared by your initial volley and apparently impaled a squirrel and it is stuck halfway up a treetrunk. You gather said birds, which are pretty big, and the squirrel but you're not so sure if you want the squirrel.

"I, for one, would like to know what is going and put a stop to it."
*notices what Drex is about to do*
"Hey, stop that! We have enough problems as it is."
Ask around the town for info. If there is time, make some magical trinkets to sell while we are here.

[1]Torc cancels make magical trinkets: create materials roll fail. ((Sorry man. Also you don't actually need a create materials roll, was just going with the epic fail)). [5] After failing miserably to make anything with your tools, you decide to ask around for information and gather alot of importaint information about the region, the Tyrant, and even talking shop with the local blacksmith.

"Stop that Drax, now I think that this madman needs to be stopped, but first some fun"

start stealing weapons and giving them to the peasents, then releave drunks of thier coins

[6]Woot! Time for some son of a trickster god based fun! You find a barracks full of bored soldiers, steal their weapons 'Hey, guys, I'm just the weapon tax collector, don't mind me, gotta collect those weapons, for tax!", then give them to random villagers, whom you mind trick into thinking the weapons are theirs. Unfortunately, the soldiers recognize you now and just might arrest you on sight if you hang around the area too long.  Afterwards, you relieve some drunks of their cash and get [4] 40 coins.

Mind control people to rise up against the tyrant around the village

[2] Somehow you fail to mind control anybody to rise up against the tyrant. Either the people you tried to mind control are too scared of the tyrant to fight him or just don't have the will to do so, or you tried the wrong people. Doesn't mean there aren't resistance cells somewhere.

"Guys, calmest down. We can`t know whether they support they tyrant or not." Arngrim sighed. "Madmen." He mumbled in his beard.
"Oh, Odin mayest thou have mercy with thy humblest servant. I guess i`ll need it."

Arngrim performs a little rune ritual, wishing for luck. Then he follows Torc, seemingly the most reasonable guy of the group, and helps him to gather information. (About surroundings, the tyrant, work, everything.)

[1] You simply stand there, taking in the sights, not talking or anything.

Converse with the villagers. Hold off using my powers for now, don't want to unsettle them.

[5] You converse with the villagers and like Torc did, get a good deal of information about the surroundings, the tyrant, and some other small talk.

Information Gathered this turn:

Surroundings: The forest to the west is known to be inhabited by various forest spirits and bandits, the road that cuts through it goes to some other distant towns, it eventually runs to the coast and a thriving port city. The road that heads north goes inland, where the 'capitol' of the region is. The small group of mountains to the east is rumored to be the hideout of some rebels, then again, you have also heard a few other rumors about the mountains, one of which is that the Tyrant may have a stronghold in those mountains. There isn't a road to the south and in that direction are some plains and eventually the southern Spanish coast if you go far enough.

The Tyrant: Not much is known about what the tyrant looks like, but what you can pick out from the speculation is that he is pretty secretive, is known to have an isolated stronghold somewhere as he doesn't actually reside in the 'capitol' to the north. The Tyrant came to power through a bloody coup a few years ago, little is known about where he came from, the reasons behind his actions against demigods (which really had only just begun) aren't clear. However, there is a rumor that he is a power hungry, and insane, demi-god, other rumors are that he wants to create a deadly gladiator pit (think the Harkonnens of Dune, he is THAT much of a beast). Since he slammed his iron fist on everybody from the start, rebel cells have popped up all over. So if you look in the right places, you will find allies.

Goddamn lazy Spaniards /jk

Go invisible and scare the living shit out of the tyrant's troops with illusions. Ask for Tharin's help in this.

[dwarfguy2]

cook myself some hot wings.

hehe, I really don't have anything against Spain or the spanish people (even though the place you are in isn't technically Spain anymore).

Might have to fix the details of the surroundings somewhat since I wanted to use real world geography, but given the size of Spain, its probably not a big deal.

[Lordinquisitor]

Perform a rune ritual to find the tyrant; Or at least narrow down the area in which he could hide.

[MagusBlack]

Ask the local blacksmith for some scrap metal and then make some magical trinkets and sell them.

((wait nobody at least knows the Tyrant's name? He takes over a country and nobody bothered to ask his name?))

[smjjames]

((wait nobody at least knows the Tyrant's name? He takes over a country and nobody bothered to ask his name?))

To be honest, I was just being lazy about it, that and I hadn't thought up a name for him anyway.....

[RandomNumberGenerator]

I vote we head into der mountains.

For this turn, I will attempt to levitate/fly around the area, hoping to learn more about our surroundings.

[smjjames]

Beyond getting an idea of the landscape and geography, I don't think theres much more you could learn. I can certainly do a roll to check if you do spot anything from the air that you otherwise wouldn't see on the ground.

The flying attempt is still a go for the action.

Anyways, waiting on Wolfchild, I think he is asleep atm though, from what I know about his time zone.

Edit: I'm just letting you guys know that I'm adopting the acronym tag for the character statuses to clean it up some. As for combat, I'm thinking of using the luck system that RNG uses in Arcanum octet and some of what Frelock is using in his PUC RTD. Not sure about hitpoints or health or anything like that, however the method RNG uses looks good. I believe Wolfchild and CJ use a variation of that in their RTDs.

As far as skills go, I don't want to use a real complex system, but I think I have an idea of one and am already doing a real basic skill levelup thing.

[wolfchild]

Play the drunks off the guardsmen, try to get the rest of the village involved aswell, "up with the revolution
