Depending on the action selected for each day, different potential events may occur. Or maybe nothing will occur that day. Many events may lead to fighting. You may also have additional characters join your party. These characters will make fighting much less risky, and some may have special knowledge or abilities useful in various other events. Magicians, wizards, witches, priests and monks are especially desirable companions.

After all events (if any) are resolved for the day, your party must then eat their main meal. If you have food stores, those can be used if desired. Otherwise daily food costs 1 gold coin per party member. If in a town, castle, or temple, you must also purchase lodging. Again, this costs 1 gold per character. Horses, etc. can be both stabled and fed for just 1 gold per mount. If you can’t pay for food and/or meals, that’s okay. However you won’t heal well and will eventually lose endurance.

This ends the day. The next day then begins, and a new action is chosen. The game continues until either the barbarian prince is killed, or 70 days (10 weeks) elapse. If the game is not won after 70 days, it is automatically lost!

Current situation:

>You have discovered a hidden elven fortress within the forest to the southwest of Cumry. Thankfully, they have decided to not kill you and provided you with a bed and food for the night.

You may treat this hex as a castle, and may do any sort of action one would be allowed to do in a castle. Anyone hired here will be an elf. you may stay here as long as you wish, but once you leave the elves would not be happy to see you return.

Okay, but please make a 2d6 roll for all actions.

>You don't learn anything of particular importance, but you do get a good idea of the general layout of the castle, who the major authorities are, and in general how this place works.

>You don't discover anything else this day, but at this point have become extremely knowledgeable about the fortress and its inhabitants.

Future rolls to gather info or hire people in this hex get +2! (This increases the range of possible outcomes. If any are negative outcomes, then the best one will be selected. If they are all bad...well then.)

>>45631115

>>45631080
Yeah, I wasnt really paying attention to the comments tho, just the music.

>Hmm..
>Being wise and cautious, you discover the treasure chest is trapped!

If you wish to try and disable the trap, roll 1d6. As long as you roll your wits or less (5) you will succeed. But rolling over your wits (in this case, just a 6) will result in your accidentally setting off the trap.

If you don't want to risk it, you can just leave the ruin. (Ha. Fat chance of that. But I thought I may as well offer the option.)

Rolled 5 (1d6)

Are you really willing to risk death for a horse and an average of 7 gold pieces?

Sometimes you can get lucky, but in the vast majority of cases a character's wealth just represents the average amount of gold they have.

>>45631381

Yeah, on second thought, I say we just take his shit.

>>45631420
Nothing ventured nothing gained.

In combat, higher rolls are usually better, by the way.

Round 8: Prince does 2 wounds, killing the swordsman!!

Unfortunately, the prince isn't looking so hot himself...

But now he has a horse! And in the swordsman pockets, you find...6 gold.

You stumble into town, rent a room and a stable for the steed, and fall into a well deserved sleep.

>Location: 0109 (Angleae), Week: 7, Day: 7

Whelp, that's all for me tonight guys and gals. Great job! If anyone has the rules and wishes to take over from here, be my guest. But otherwise, I'll jump back on tomorrow night (maybe in 18 or 19 hours from now) to continue.

GAH! Got the math wrong again.
Prince has only 3/9 endurance.

>>45631766
Maybe the horse is worth shit at least. Oh well, beats falling in gopher holes at least.

>>45631868

Looking at the rules, the downside to a horse is it costs 1 gp a day to feed in town, or 2 food units (2 gp worth) if you feed it from your own food stores like in a desert or something, but if you're in a non-town hex with forage (grass or whatever), it eats for free, so it's not that big a deal.
The advantage to a horse is that you can then move two hexes in a single day, which saves you a ton of time. It can also carry another 10 load, doubling your carrying capacity versus being on foot.

(Actually by RAW, we shouldn't be able to hold more than 10 food on foot, 9 if we're also carrying close to 100 coins, which is 1 weight in itself. We've got 20 load right now, which means we need a horse to carry half, and will need to hire a dude to carry any more than that. )

This seems to be a nice game, thanks for playing it.

Bimpenstein, want to see this keep going

>>45635027

We're waiting for OP to return tonight. Still, can't hurt to keep this thread up so folks can see it and know that part three is coming.

>>45637197
>We're waiting for OP to return tonight.
Yeah, I know. There just doesn't seem to be any point in forcing him to make a new thread when using this one would keep continuity better.

I've been reviewing the rules.

I think our best shot at this late point in the game is to seek some more information for a bit (hoping for another +1 to temple offerings), then visit a temple with whatever gold we have, maybe visit the priest and hope for him to help us with the offerings, and try to get a 14 or higher on the offering roll, then run for the north.
With only three weeks left, and not even a tenth of the gold we need, divine intervention is probably our only hope.

We've got a +1 on one specific temple already, if we spend 10 gold for another, and we're lucky enough that the high priest helps us, that's a +4. You can stack it even higher, but we'd need to find more secrets and things.
Still, while it's literally a "Hail Mary" move, it could work.

>>45639372
Donat's Temple (hex 1309) is 12 hex away, but a river and at least two difficult terrains must be crossed. From there north there are 8 hexes (more if we take an easier route), so it's at least 10 days spent traveling, probably more, so at most 11 other actions (probably less).

There is another temple near the way to Donat's Temple, Branwyn's Temple (hex 0711).

>>45640507
*at most 11 other actions are left (probably less).

>>45640507

Damn, this game needs an easier time limit, 70 days is just not enough.

>>45640567

>>45640993
Guess what I would do if we managed to get the kingdom back? Time to say hello to Cumry. With the army.

>>45640567
It's not so much that, it's that part of the challenge of the game is figuring out stuff like that you need to get a horse ASAP. It's part of what makes for replayability in this type of solo game.

>>45629148
How much's a physical copy of this game usually go for, anyway? Boardgamegeek's down, so can't check the obvious place.
