Because I need to learn alchemy.

[King_of_the_weasels]

why?

[vagel7]

To make badass assassin gadgets?

[King_of_the_weasels]

Then you'd want to learn engineering, and to learn engineering you need to learn math and physics first, of course if you become friends with me I could make you that junk since I'm basically leonardo di vinci.

[vagel7]

It's Leonardo da Vinci. put alright then, I will try to become your friend.

[King_of_the_weasels]

that's going to be harder then traveling light speed to put out a city fire

[Iituem]

I read him as only sending Zacmar and about five guards, partly because sending an armed regiment into Elbrethan territory would be suicide but also because he's since used both of those regiments in actions within the Eelspine.

So, uh, he gets out of that one because I made a mistake about sixty pages ago.  Damn.


Edit: Spaghetti7, I've not responded to your post because it's one that only the King can respond to (since it directly concerns his character).  I've not responded to the Mask's post because although it's valid I just missed it.  All these intelligencers are going to have to force me to define Spy specialists and espionage actions soon.

Edit2: Ashton, I've skipped your post because only Thatkid knows for certain how that fellow died (though I'm pretty sure I've figured it out), so I'll have to let him answer the post.

Hrrrm... specialists and actions... hmmmm....

Ok, heres some general types for you to think about. I'm not good with rules, so I will mostly post just some ideas instead.

Specialists:

Sabateur
Arsonist
Assassin
Underworld contact
Ruffian
Gang leader
Thief
Turncoat (position in society)
Sleeper agent
Terrorist
Smuggler
Diplomat??
Sapper specialist (demolitions)
Mole

Espionage actions:

Sabotage building
Assassinate target
Corrupt noble
Bribe target
Destroy building
Slaughter horses
Burn target
Terrorise populace
Steal funds
Steal plans
Steal information
Place sappers under building
Open castle/city gates
Smuggle troops
Smuggle supplies
Destroy plans
Spy on target

Those are just some ideas of the top of my head. Any more you guys can think of?

Mole

These bolded ones have apparently become quite interchangeable... *shakes fist at Terenos*

Virtually every last one of these can be rolled into the 'Spy' specialist, so that's what I'm going to do.  =D  Should bring our specialist number up to 3; Sailors, Engineers and Spies.  (If you qualify an engineer as a 'tinker', all we need now is someone from the clothworking industry - although strictly speaking the sailor should be a soldier.)

Sabotage building
Assassinate target
Corrupt noble
Bribe target

Yep, that's more or less what I had in mind.  I'll try to set it up so that player spy characters can do any of these actions as well but have to be physically present for them (whereas NPC spies can be 'sent off' to do these things).  On the other hand, player spies that get caught will probably get killed.  NPC ones will too, but that doesn't take a player out of the game.  =D


Also, this is going to be a very entertaining siege considering that Taric has actually given the 'kill on sight' order for both yl Marchis and Trubaldsome.  We'll see how it falls out.

[Knave]

I have the bad feeling that it will end with the majority of the Royal Army dead at the gates 

[Yoink]

I'm not sure quite what I did to make Taric so mad...
Seriously, even Terenos wasn't planning on all-out war. Let's hope them peasants join in!

[Ardas]

If there is going to be war again, I'm betting on Elbreth. What was Trubaldsome thinking?

Edit: Iitumien, I just had the look at the trade rules and I think they are spot on. One thing that's missing though is a proper knowledge of what place produces what. Or do I have to explore places as part of the merchant adventure? I know that Elbreth proper has wool and Eelspine has some Iron, and that Vasir has iron industry. Also, when starting a trading company, do you need some sort of royal charter or document? and can you expand those companies with branches in different places and so on (business size?).

[NoahTophatz]

When my handless guy gets back i am so going to replace his hands with swords to turn him into a one man regiment or Super dueler and he will get his revenge I will MUHAHAHAHA
he will train alot

[NoahTophatz]

In addition to my previous actions:

Try to analyze the corpse for cause of death, feel for tooth marks or wounds from weapons, then follow any tracks leading away from the scene and pursue the attacker, Buster should be helpful here and also keep a bolt notched into your crossbow which can be released immediately.

I'd also like to have a conditional action (the ztah running down the valley to capture me):

Whilst analyzing the corpse shouts can be heard faintly, multiple men, Buster barks at them and Percy again flies to them squawking above their position, at least half a mile away. Coming down the steep sides of the ravine Meng gives himself ten minutes.

Make a mental note of the corpses cause of death, then make a run for it across the river which should stall them for a bit, if they're in pursuit, then if they start to follow keep moving and try to hide among the rocks and outcroppings until they go away, once they've gone follow them back sticking to the sides of the rock face and try to remain unseen.

EDIT: And whilst running try to hide bolts in various places on his person, inner layers of clothing, they might not see one fitted in his crossbow and wherever else would work.

Why do you think my troops are Loud they are raiders they wouldn't yell when trying to sneak up on someone, Because yelling tells targets that they are there and to raid properly you need surprise.

I ask for a roll for if he hears me
