OOC THREAD

Hathcyn has come up pretty far in the world. I'll work on geting a post up.

  Lake-town was refounded and was more prosperous than ever, and much wealth went up and down the Running River...

Your family's fortune is rising with the reopening of the trading routes that lead to the markets in the South and East. This increased affluence has started to positively affect your adventuring life, as you may choose a servant from those employed in your household and have him join you in your next endeavour. At the start of an Adventuring phase you may pick one servant to accompany you:

Page: A page assists you in all your daily routines, like washing and dressing, and takes care of your clothes and gear. He is at your side during any encounter, making sure that you are properly introduced and providing advice and counsel. When you enjoy the help of a page, you can roll the Feat die twice and keep the best result when you are making any Courtesy and Insight rolls.

Physician: A physician is an older servant who has long been trained in the arts of taking care of your health. He knows every little ailment you might have suffered from since you were a child, and possesses the knowledge to prepare a remedy. As long as you are assisted by a physician, you can roll the Feat die twice and keep the best result when you are making a Healing roll.

Porter: A porter helps you in carrying your gear when you are adventuring. When you are making a Fatigue test, you can roll the Feat die twice and keep the best result.

Scrivener: A scrivener is a personal servant who can read and write. He is usually well-learned and keeps a daily record of your exploits. If you are employing a scrivener you can roll the Feat die twice and keep the best result when you are making any Lore and Riddle rolls.

With the exception of a physician, a servant in a rich trading family is usually a young boy, often a minor relative of modest ambition. Regardless of his duty, your servant is no fighting man, but is considered to be always around and eager to perform his assigned task.

Cheers, Tom.  Grimbeorn's servants might end up being wondrous hounds instead of page boys or old retainers.

Im really looking forward to giving the mythic battles a test run.

Work is giving me some extra tasks these next two weeks. If you feel I'm moving too slow, feel free to NPC.
Peace,
Ayrn

Cheers for the heads up, and good luck with work.  What is it that you do, anyway?

[Posterboy]

I'm employed by a church here in Canada (Toronto-area), working with people ages 0 - 30. Mostly religious programming, counseling, mentoring, volunteer recruitment, and coordinating service work in the community.

Normally, once Canadian Thanksgiving passes, I shift into 40-45 hrs/week of work until mid-December, but there has been some extra projects added. (they like to keep me busy!)

Peace,
Ayrn

Wish I knew that earlier, I was at the CNE this year.

[Posterboy]

Huh... yeah, that's too bad. The CNE's maybe 45 minutes from my place. It would have been cool to connect! (I heard the CNE was a little different this year with the lock-out going on... I haven't been for probably 5-6 years)

What about everyone else? Where are you located and what do you do for work?

[tomcat]

You will find me in Columbus, Ohio and I am in finance - I run a company and also have licenses to assist families with financial services (investments and protection).

Cedar Rapids, Iowa (not Ohio or Idaho)... Develop avionics for jets and helos

[Eclecticon]

Hi guys.  Apologies as usual for the delay in getting my next post up.  It may not happen today, but it's coming. 

[Eclecticon]

As of this afternoon, all my assignments are in for the semester.  Expect posts to happen a little more regularly for a while! 

[Posterboy]

Can I have Tate step in now and try to use some words to save the day, either demoralizing the enemy or inspiring our troops?

[GandalfOfBorg]

That's fine by me, why I brought you.

[Eclecticon]

Go for it, mate.
