[Mae]

@Duthguy What sort of jacket would you like :D?

@CollectorOfMyst But it's so interesting with a small group... kekekekekekekekeke

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Mae Small group or dead group? Hmm...

[Duthguy]

@Mae Something like this?

[PrinceAlexus]

Looks like we might have a full team for the idol team.

The bridge defenders are a tad light.

So... apparently, Father J is much shorter than the rest of us. That or his hat made him shrink.

@CollectorOfMyst

Lol. I think my had made me shorter as I gained Traveler key word. I like my hat though :)
And my slightly silly gear list... But I will kill somthing or heal. I have bandages this time. They proved useful last time.

What does it do?
Or just let's me ride invertebrates and wear cool ponchos.

@Mae?

[CollectorOfMyst]

@PrinceAlexus You do get access to a few more items, yes. Though now I'm curious... how many items can one wear? We have a carry weight of 7, but could one wear, say, 7 hats?

@CollectorOfMyst

In theory... But you'd have all hats and only fists. But you could have a poncho over a duster etx?

I have a hat, and 3 in guns. So I got room for a jacket and maybe if luxurious a pistol or double barrel shortty.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@PrinceAlexus Actually, to take a look at your earlier query, you could have also gotten the Traveller keyword from the sheriff's office, the Bounty Hunter's badge, which gives all heroes the ability to regen 1 determination. But yeah, you can get a poncho, the black duster, the Feathered and Indian Hatchets, and you can get a harmonica for a Sanity boost.

[Mae]

@PrinceAlexus@CollectorOfMyst

Each Hero has 1 Personal Item

Each Hero has 2 Hand Slots (equip 2 one handed items or one two handed item. You can carry extra items (e.g. pistols and shotgun) but you must declare which you are using during a turn.)

Each Hero has a carry weight limit of 5 + strength modifier.

Each Hero is limited to equipping one clothing item per slot (e.g 1 hat, 1 torso, 1 shoulders, 1 gloves, 1 coat ect) Again, you can carry extra, and equip swap if you need to.

I'll be honest I haven't doublechecked equipiment for that sort of thing yet ()=D

@CollectorOfMyst

Oh well. Then id of not got my special ammo, and thr supply of medical and offensive Explosives. I'm happy with my haul. I can always get one later in another town.

I Don, t mind. It's not like I'm trying to min max him into a broken ly powerful character.

[Scarescrow]

@PrinceAlexusYou ok? You seem to be almost bursting in tear.

[Mae]

@PrinceAlexus There will be plenty of oppurtunities to get all sorts of cool things :D After all, never know when you might find artefact or gear on a mission. There's alot of unique items out there that can't be purchased in town.

[PrinceAlexus]

@Mae@Scarescrow

I'm good. I know. There's always chances to find other cool things. Plus I should have used up a few items by end of this adventure.

I'm fine :)

I'm a Pastor Prorg 1000 :)

[Mae]

MAE'S SPRING? CLEANING

EDIT: TRAINING WHEELS ARE OFF. MONSTERS WILL BE HARDER FROM NOW ON. ♥

I feel awkward pinging everyone since I'm about to ping out mission start and I'm selfconscious that I always over-pinging people for a silly forum game @_@ Annnyway....

Been updating some things as I go when I've noticed them, but here's a list of changes that have been rolled out or that will be implemented at some point.

Update on Preachers - corruption rolls @PrinceAlexus@rocketrobie2 in particular

• Noticed when Flabnose the Turtleneck was created that the other Pastors have a fairly big error on their character sheet. When a Preacher casts a spell that can incur corruption damage, this only happens if they roll doubles. If they roll doubles, they take Corruption Hits equal to the number they rolled on the dice. These hits can still be blocked by Willpower.

Update on how Darkstone is carried

• I pretty much do this every game so I'm not surprised this happened xD Darkstone tokens don't go into your sidebag, you just carry them in your inventory as normal. So you should find them at the top of your inventory now.
(I always do this - the darkstone tokens in the game are the same as the Sidebag tokens. I usually notice when somebody hits their Sidebag Cap - if no one has already correctd it at start - which happened when Scare, the Law Holder received 3 darkstone.

Update on rolling movement with determination

• From now on, when spending a Determination on movement, you get a bonus 1d6 of movement on top of what you have already rolled. Potentially you could move up to twelve movement now, if you spent Determination on it. Good if you need to catch up or run away. Basically, you now have better manouverability.

Visual update for Defend the Bridge ooh so shiny what is this???

• Since Defend the Bridge is a fixed map, I've been working on improving the quality of the graphics a little since it was confirmed.
Eventually I plan on rolling out a visual update on all the maps, though it is a little harder for missions that pick map tiles randomly, so that's still a while away.
At some point I plan to change the way I draw the maps to make them more consistant, but I have a few other visual things I want to work on first... ;)
In the meantime, consider Defend the Bridge to be a bit of a teaser.

Misprint on Scare's ability - this has been there for like a year lol

• His ability is called "Hardened Resolve" not "Quick and the Dead"

Hawkeye Harold's sprite never got updated??? Now he has eyes

Cancel growing dread

• The Posse may cancel a Growing Dread card, when it is inactive or active, if every party member pays 1 Determination to do so.

Anyway, that stuff has been bugging me. Glad to get it off my chest, launching new mission starts shortly. Aaron Goldfeld and Dan's updated sprites are underway.

[PrinceAlexus]

@Mae

No worries. We seem to be running a mini RP in spam lol.

That frees up some ability then in thr maybe use category.
However damage sheild and heal are pretty useful!

@Duskshine749@Majoras End@Scarescrow@Leaves@CollectorofMyst@PrinceAlexus

You stand at the entrance to the Mine, taking in the faces - some new, some old, some battle hardened. These will be your allies in the coming trials ahead, as you venture into the unknown lands of another world... Or at least, that's the plan. You look down at the idol in your hands and recall your mission.

- Find a Portal to the Otherworld, Swamps of Jargano.
- Return the Idol to it's rightful resting place in the Burial Ground it was stolen from.

Aaron Goldfeld offers to carry the lantern and Fear bravely risks carrying the Idol itself, seemingly unphased by the strange evil eminating from it. Pastor Jimmy takes the Old Map the prospector gave you, and the six of you head into the mine.

Those of you with some adventuring under your belt have a bad feeling that things will be harder from here on out.

Round 1

---

---

The Darkness Stirrs!
@CollectorofMystLanternbearer, spend 1 determination to prevent the darkness moving closer to the exit of the mine and escaping?
Rolled: 4 + 3 = 7, need 8 to beat.

>EXPLORE THE MINE: At the end of each map tile is an arrow. When standing on this arrow, you may explore into the next room, if you have not done another action this turn.

The Cursed Idol

---

The Cursed Idol

---

---

Objective:
Return the Cursed Idol to the Grave it was stolen from. To do this, the Posse must find their way to the legendary Swamps of Jargano and discover the ancient Burial Ground.

Reward: Each player may choose to draw some new Gear or gain D50gp - 300gp..
Failure: The Town is destroyed while the Heroes are away. They may not make a Town Visit and instead move directly onto the next Adventure.

Flavour

You hear about alot of interesting work in the local watering holes, and today was no different. When the local Prospector hobbles in on his splint, crying and raving about how he was cursed, you are one of the few to sit up and take heed.

He says he found a portal deep in a mine, found a gate to another world. Found one or two interesting trinkets over there - oh yes, very interesting - while out on an expedition there. Found a little statue that he was sure was worth a fortune, and brought it back home with him.

Well, that was when the trouble started.

He recounts how his horse keeled over and died on the journey home, how he's been attacked by demons and beget by monsters, how his wife has fallen sick and three void twisters have spun through his town this passed fortnight alone. He begs you to take his find back to the swamp where he found it, and lay it to rest in the grave he stole it from.

Conditions

Conditions

Heroes start in the Mine and the Posse must find a Portal to the legendary Swamps of Jargano. Once there, they must discover the Ancient Burial Ground, and work out which grave the Cursed Idol belongs to.

Holding Back the Darkness is harder on this mission. The Lanternbearer must roll 1 higher to defend against it.

Once in the swamps, the Heroes must discover the Burial Ground, where they must work out which grave to return the idol to.

[CollectorOfMyst]

>Aaron raises the lantern high, as he proceeds to move directly towards the tunnel, and Explores Deeper. 4+1 Movement, so he still has one if he needs it.

>Reroll for the darkness.

>"Glad to have you here... Fear, was it? I know about Luciel and Richard, but I don't think we've met. I hear you're a good shot."
