@BoneyM I really liked how you handled the riskier part of the rescue mission. First you confront Mathilde with it, but make her decide not to risk it quite yet, then after the main and less risky part is done you allow us to backtrack if we really want to. It's an elegant solution to balance player agency against subvote overload.
Anyway, how long did the rescue mission take? I'm between hunting the bandits and playing detective, but my vote depends on the answer to that.
The bandits I almost guarantee are a red herring, any evidence is in how this happened, not what the guys who fired pot shots and fucked off can do. So we need to investigate that before the trail goes completely cold.
They are (probably) a red herring to the larger mystery and relatively unimportant as we would judge it in the grand scheme of things, but they still imminently matter to the Grudge.
They do, but the language is a guild secret.
Damn morons. Every Dwarf mines, meaning every Dwarf might be caved in. Not teaching at least some basics to the wider populace should be considered a crime against Gazul.
Enchantment is really hard and really expensive and generally not something you employ for a one-and-done, as a detonator for a bomb kind of is inherently.
@BoneyM I know that you are against generic one use items in a quest format, but if we ignore the idea of anyone bit NPCs commissioning and using them, how much easier/cheaper are one use enchanted items compared to the reusable ones we can buy for College Favor?
In other words, would a Wizard-made bomb trigger be a feasible thing for a mission of medium importance by a Marienburger or Imperial agent?
Miners do. These aren't miners.
I assume that the Miners and Engineers Guild have a copyright on their specific morse code, right? Developing a completely new one that has nothing (as far as the inventor knows) in common with the secret one other than that it uses knocks on hard surfaces shouldn't be a problem, right? No more than using magically infused letters is an affront to the Runesmiths at least.
This is why I do major dice-rolls in thread or on Orokos, because if I didn't I couldn't really blame anyone for suspecting the rolls had been faked to increase the drama. By my maths that's about a 2% chance.
Personally I think you have proven yourself enough to deserve our unmitigated trust in such matters. That said, I still like that you link roll results just because they are interesting to see.
No. There's more Chamon in the metal than there'd be Ulgu in the spell.
Could a Gold Wizard's MMAPP go through it? Could we commission a Chamon item that projects the words "I'm here to save you, turn off the lights" through metal surfaces?
