The Long Road: OOC

[Catodon]

Will post the scene change early next week or when I get down time checks from everyone. No rush work is keeping me busy anyway.
Only one downtime skill check is allowed (p68 of the core rules). If you have two pick one.

[Mister Andersen]

Ffffffffffffffffffffff... I got a 20 on my downtime roll and my computer crashed. 

[Catodon]

Look I generally have to trust you guys anyway. One of the others has a choice of two and is free to choose the better. Generally everyone gets one 'reasonable doubt card' you want that 20 take it.

Just go with the tactics one for me, then, as I spent an AD on it, and all.  

I tend to make multiple skill rolls on a post if it's within reason, with the idea that you can just pick whichever one is appropriate, and ignore the rest. It's supposed to speed things up if say, I made a tracking roll when I should have done sneak first... so you don't have to tell me I rolled the wrong thing and then wait for me to fix it. Both things are there already.

Of course then if after all that I still missed something, you're welcome to roll for me.

[Catodon]

Got it. No problem.
I will wait to all downtime checks are in then post the results in one streamlined narrative.

[Mister Andersen]

Are they in need of any sort of medical assistance?

[Jigger]

I wish Grandmother had brought along a Chemistry kit, she could be making explosives or fire bombs, during down time.

[Catodon]

Are they in need of any sort of medical assistance?

They are living a hard life. You'd expect there to be kids with illness, elders with arthritis, the odd hunting accident, some frostbite...

[Catodon]

hi all started working on the downtime post. Still chasing a couple of rolls. Busy with work but will post soon.

[Catodon]

Sorry I'm taking so long. It's crunch time at work and even evenings and weekend have been spent writing for work. Will get to this as soon as I can with or without the rest of the downtimes (I can add your rolls in later if I miss you this time). Probably within the next couple of days. Again apologies

[LordKruelos]

So all this happened silently?

[Catodon]

Quiet enough that even if you had someone posted you didn't here over the weather it from your camp several hundred meters away.

[Fiendbasher]

Well Vash is prepared to try to track it down... although he thinks it would be just our luck that raiders would attack while we have people away, it's also more logical to be more concerned with a threat that has obviously already attacked here once than one that we're not sure whether or not will come.

Err let me know if I could not get away with this undisguised... I'll alter my post.

[Catodon]

Your description of the villagers wary but actively attacking is about right. You get the impression that hostile action, perhaps even sudden moves, will get you filled with harpoons faster than you can blink.  What did Tenloowaq say? Something like "South folk all strange... no ogre, no wrym" these guys have a number of quirks one seems to be unfriendly tolerance.

(In regards to LordKruelos' the Road to Thustrata post) Is it bad that I took one look at that map and I know where that is?
