The Long Road: OOC

[Fiendbasher]

Based on a post by Mr Andersen I'm now imagining shaggy white yak-things pulling the wagon.
Like the NPCs
I'll be pretty busy with work and my realspace game so apologies now if I don't post the next IC for a couple of days. I will keep to at least two posts per week.

No prob I'll have plenty of time to knock out the rest of the NPC's then.

Seems like we haven't heard from Andersen in a while anyway, so maybe it'll also provide time for him to come back.

*Snerks at Andersen's post* Just because I have reddish scales doesn't make me a red shirt.

No, but the fact you're not Kieri makes you expendable

If you'll allow it, I'd like to make a knowledge check (Northmen culture?) that I would have known ahead of time what would be an appropriate gift for these circumstances.

I'd be glad to spend an AD to Narrative Control handwave having procured such culturally apropos trinkets ahead of time.

Make a knowldge check but without the bonus for Interest. Northmen I'd imagine are 'Nordvolk' these guys are a very different culture but the Northmen would have heard something about them so I wont penalise you.DC17 for you DC20 for other from further away.
I'll wait for this roll an impress check for bolo's last action and give the others a chance to step out of hiding/forward if they want. Will post tomorrow morning my time
Normally I'd make the rolls and get on with it but since there are a few things here I'll wait.

i will edit it into my post on the ic.

Long post meant to add background atmosphere and story, not detract... please feel free to correct me if I cross a line or get anything blatantly wrong.

No very good. All of you if struck by the muse please write as much as you want. All I ask is for consideration for PCs and NPCs moving other peoples characters  around in anything more than trivial ways is to be avoided. Other than that knock yourselves out.

Do we know what kind of meat the villagers are eating?

Frosty soylent green anyone?

[Fiendbasher]

I would guess seal and maybe whale... and of course fish.

Not yet. Bolo might be able to figure it out while he's hanging around the camp. Fiendbashers guesses are good ones. You can see fish beside strips of red meat on drying and smoking racks on the edge of the village watched day and night, as lifeless as this icy world looks it seems the villagers arn't the only predators this far North.

Anyway 1week downtime check from each of you...

[Mister Andersen]

Another throatsinger, huh?

How far from the iced-over ocean is the village? I assume that the caravans have been placed between the village and the sea by the villagers?

[Catodon]

The village is on the first rise perhaps only 10-20m from the sea (who wants to live too far from work?). The village is between the caravan's camp and the sea blocking your view of the frozen sea.

Maybe... Vash's vocal equipment is just different. He doesn't produce most of his phonemes with his whole mouth the way humans do, having inflexible lips... his way is closer to a parrot's. If Killashandra can sing the way he does without his kind of voicebox he'd think it's a pretty neat neat trick.
