What is the Health of someone with 1D4 STRONG?

Actually asking this question, I'm now realizing that while I did say that Strong does align with how much damage can be taken, I never actually clarified this kind of question which is actually kind of important since it really can be kind of hard to keep track of 'here's how close someone is to genuinely dying' across rounds and saying someone is 'wounded' really only tells you so much.

So quick and simple answer is that by default without any other factors coming into play, your HP is equal to your Strong dice, so 1D4 would equal 4 HP.

Right now, @WallFlower is the only player to actually be wounded, and between this admittedly being a minor retroactive ruling and I'm pretty sure that WallFlower has only taken one real point of damage and it was mostly just being scruffed up before that, WallFlower is now officially at 3/4 HP.

Round 8 Start - Cloudy With a Chance of Mayhem

    • It is a time of great conflict. The Quest, benefitting from the actions of a lone Rioter, have just won their first victory against the ominous Naysayers.​

    But all is far from well.

    The loss of the Naysayer's hatchet has not gone unnoticed.​

    While there is no sign that the Naysayers know that one of your number is the guilty party, you can see a few of them looking in your direction from a distance, glancing for some kind of sign to confirm suspicions that their stone hatchet found its way into your possession.

    The shadow of Reality looms large.​

    Reality made its presence known by laughing at you after a blatant attempt to re-write how it works. If and how it may respond is as of yet unknown.

    The mystery of the missing Sod continues.​

    While stakeouts have reduced the amount of sod that has vanished, the problem persists.

    Sure Enough, Another 1x1 Sod has gone missing!

    Why this continues, how this continues, is as of yet unknown. It is almost certain that there is indeed a culprit involved, as the alternative would be some kind of inexplicable natural phenomenon that by sheer coincidence didn't happen while the sod was actively being watched.

    Whatever this presumed culprit is, it's thus far proven smart enough to only steal sod when nobody is looking, namely in the rest gaps between sod watches.

    Unless the quest intends to rely on waiting for the culprit to slip up and make a mistake, stakeouts may not be enough. A new, more permanent solution will likely be required.

    The weather has changed.​

    It comes as a surprise when the previously bright, calm weather of the quest turns less so when clouds start to form overhead.

    That this comes just after Reality made its presence known is not lost on some members of the Quest, though it's impossible to say whether Reality is genuinely responsible or if it's merely a bad coincidence.

    On the bright side, the weather has merely changed to being overcast, so it's nothing that should have any negative impact on your plans.

    Yet, at least.

    Weather discovered!

    Environmental effects that may hinder, help, or simply influence the nature of the quest. (Probably) affect everyone in an area equally    .

    Weather is now 'Overcast'!

    Weather 'Overcast' discovered! By itself, it mostly just keeps the world from being bright as it could be. Its true value is in warning of potentially more severe weather that may or may not come.

    If you're not new here, you probably know the drill by now. You've got about a week to decide and will get a last call when crunchtime hits.

    The Abyss is the only thing that hasn't abandoned me and it's surrounding me. Almost as if it cares.

    [X][Riot!] (0.0) "You don't have to make sense for me B- Baka Abyss. I don't need your help, I'm doing fine~" I purposefully do not stare into the Abyss. Kyaaa~( >\\<)

    I won't let the Abyss interfere with my evil plans, It's not like I like that idiot concept, or anything.

    I mean, why would we need reality? It only exists to tell us what to do. We're the council here fellas.

    [X][Riot!] Explore West and Southwest, focusing on finding the best transport paths for dragging trees back to the central area. (e.g. avoiding hills, preferring downhill movement over uphill when going away from the forest, etc)

    My plan is to eventually get to the forest, cut suitable trees down, then remove branches from one side (to reduce drag), gather strong Rioters and transport the tree back to our camp to get large amounts of wood in different forms in one go.

    -[X] Missing Sod/Naysayer Hatchet Search (I move close enough to the Naysayers that they'll be able to hear me, but keep enough distance from them that they won't be able to try anything. I then take out the stolen hatchet and call out to them. "Hey Naysayers! Look what I got! Yeah, that's right! I took your hatchet! That's what you get for stealing our sod!")
