[OOC] Masters of the Hidden Valley

[Lauder]

Yeah, WE HAVE TO THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE THIS PEOPLE! THAT MEANS NO PEE BREAKS!

[Shorticus]

Alright, healer guy will see if there are bad spirits about. I personally think a certain clan with the name Storm in it could be responsible though.

@Lauder

Wha-what! You think that clan Stormcaller, a clan that we made angry, that can call storms, would get angry at us and call storms? Hmmmm, this requires more careful thought, wouldn't want to jump to conclusions.

@Eklispe

HMMMMMM.

@tracyarmav Healer guy, you've been called on to see who's causing the storms. If you agree to do this, say so IC and I'll roll for you. You're free to describe the process if you like.

[Lauder]

@Shorticus

COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!

[Wernher]

Well, if someone decides to drown people to death because someone was impolite, they'll deserve what I'll do to them.

Also:

Day one and I'm already fucking everything up. Yaaay!

[Lauder]

@Wernher

Serhiem: "Eliz I know what you are going to do and I swear if you do then you will no longer get free donuts at our meetings!"

[Wernher]

"Wha- But its the only reason I go to these stupid meetings!"

[Shorticus]

You know, these meetings of yours would be MUCH more exciting if we just, just ONCE let the Tricksters perform the opening ceremony...

It's not like it was so bad last time, right? Right?

[Lexicon]

@Shorticus If Maire were to use her action for this turn to try and come up with a way to improve the potions the clan uses to heal injuries how would that be reflected in the game itself? I figure, between Clan Stormcaller not being too happy with us and creepy monsters in the Barrows, some kind of healing item might be a wise investment.

[Shorticus]

@Lexicon Tough one for me to answer quickly. I didn't think about that.

my immediate thought is that alchemists work with herbs, salves, poisons, etc. a lot more than potions because potions are more powerful but more costly as well. At least, that's the assumption I'd like to roll with. If you want to MAKE healing potions, you can do that at the cost of some goods. That'd be fair.

Assume that presently most of your healing is done with herbs, medicinal salves, magical healing from Domagoj, anti-toxins, that sort of thing. Healing potions would be good for traveling warriors to have, though.

What sort of quantity would you want to make? I'll give you a price based on that.

[Lexicon]

@Shorticus I see. What would it cost to create an improved healing salve then? And how would that be reflected? I'm assuming that our clan has a basic healing salve that, if given a few days to work, can close small wounds. If Maire wants to research a more effective salve what would that cost and how would that be reflected? As far as the potions go...hmmm, why not a dozen to start? What would that cost?

@Lexicon

Healing salves work like you've described, yes. Research... I'd like to say that you can do some research to find out what you need to develop a better one. You may already have the materials. It won't cost anything to do research except time, and you may not succeed this turn. The dice have a say in this. Eventually, you WILL succeed (it'll be easier each time you dedicate a turn to research).

And the more I think on potions, the more I think I want to make sure that Healer (the trait) is valuable. If we can just make healing potions, why would we ever want a healer? Plus, there's a blessing to heal people.

So, instead, I'll say this: you can make potions that have NON-HEALING effects. (Example: strength, agility, maybe flight one day.) Instant healing is reserved for Healers and the goddess of mercy.

[Lexicon]

@Shorticus Sounds doable. To the Alchemy Cave! I'm aiming to have a post up around Friday, but don't y'all go quoting me on that.

@Lexicon

TOO LATE.

[Lexicon]

...well played. :)

[Wernher]

If I'm lucky I might get a kill by throwing children at someone. PM fight with Shorticus might not be going too well.

[Shorticus]

No children were harmed in the making of this roleplay.

Except Ardghal and Serheim and Maire and Eliz and basically every character in this roleplay who now has daddy issues.

...

Holy crap, we ARE the Daddy Issues Clan.

[Eklispe]

Well that's what happens when you make a good guy. Or a bad guy. Basically anyone out of the ordinary has deep emotional childhood issues. They are the source of everything. EVERYTHING!

[Lexicon]

Post is written and will be edited over the next few days.

[Shorticus]

@Lexicon As usual, take your time.

[@Everyone Else] So, the plan is to update on Sunday, but if we still have plenty of people who haven't posted, I can and am willing to delay pushing the turn forward. I'd rather the majority of players get a chance to RP.

Tracyarmav says their ability to post here is limited ATM, so I went ahead and rolled for Domagoj. I will post Domagoj's findings in the IC, brief as the post will be since it's just about Domagoj.

Also, @Wernher's adventures are coming along nicely. Thus far, Eliz has been successful in looting and plundering without getting caught, AND has reached Stormpeak.

[Lauder]

Lovely, looks like We need to go to the Stormcaller clan and make them happy
