The Gaming Den

Petrus will cast windborne boulder at a place within arms reach of Camille's apex, bring it slowly towards the ground, and yell "grab on!"

[again, I'm on break, so could you please make the rolls, Laertes?]

Petrus will walk his mule over to one of the corpses, dismount, and cast Touch of Active Magics.

20 January 1219. Winter. Three Lakes covenant "From what I understand, this will not be an easy land to tame. I have no doubt that these Volkvhy are numerous and enjoy a great deal of mundane support, whereas we will be far away from our sodales and those friendly to the order. These Cumans wi...

Since the wolves popped out before I cast sense of fae power, presumably, can I modify my action to casting windborne boulder at the closest wolf, simulcasting wizards reach if necessary. I can't reach my sheet right now (break ends in like 1 minute) so would you mind making the rolls, laertes(?

14 February 1219. Winter. Orsha Portage. Petrus, aware that his spellcasting seems affected, somehow, non-fatiguingly spontaneously casts Sense of Faerie Power, to confirm they are in a Fae aura. Once informed, he shouts "We are in a faerie aura, sodales; be careful! I am no Merinitia, so perha...

Not without spending a shedload of vis and time to turn it into a talisman, no.

"Perhaps. Moreover, it seems reasonable that any service for the good of the covenant taking less than a period from sunrise to sunset, or vice versa, may be requested of any maga three times per season, perhaps, so long as any necessary vis is provided from covenant stores? Do our sodales have...

If you made it your talisman, you totally could, although you have to add the attunement (which adds the lab total bonus from the S&M table to a relevant spellcasting) while doing any other work on your talisman, and only the highest bonus applies. If you made a glove your talisman (highly inadv...

20 January 1219. Winter. Three Lakes covenant. Petrus continues to peck away at his food. "Hmm, I had neglected to consider the problem of the Aegis. Allow me to be forthright. I, as a magus, am specialized in the Form of Vim; this specialization, honed over years of study in the finest librar...

If you're talking about formulaic magic. you roll a stress die in stressful situations and a simple die in simple situations, and add your technique, form, stamina, and whatever modifiers may or may not apply. If it's equal to or greater than the spell level, you cast the spell. If it's between one ...

20 January 1219. Winter. Three Lakes covenant. "Well, neither am I the roughing sort, but needs must, I suppose. As loath as I am to, uh, be away from the comforts of civilization, the sheer number of untapped magical auras and vis sources in this region call out for the settling of a covenant...

14 February 1219. Winter. Orsha Portage. "Um, wolves wouldn't attack a group of heavily armoured men and a bear, would they? Right?" The two identically attired men guarding him shrug simultaneously and look around in perfect synchronicity. Casting Eyes of the Cat, stress die roll of 9, t...

Whoops, silly me.

Laertes, that works fine. Does anyone have a way to contact Mask_De_H? Also, isn't momo going to be taking his gauntlet with us?

So, I just had a weird thought - how the hell are we going to communicate with our grogs? Do most grogs know enough latin that we can get by, or should I put some Ruthenian on my character sheet?

I'm ambivalent.

I fiddled around with my sheet a little more, and added stats for the bookbinder/leatherworker and two identical twin shield grogs.

Karlus smiles wryly. "Are you?"

Can we use the lab customization rules?

For what it's worth, my intelligence+MT is 12, so I can invent any level 10 spell in two seasons, which you can then learn in another season, so we should be able to build up a collection of minor spells fairly quickly.

For Formulaic magic, your casting roll bonus is equal to Technique+Form+Sta+Aura+whatever. If it's equal to or greater than the level, you cast it without penalty, with the MoS being added to Penetration. If it's within ten, you cast it, but you take a level of fatigue. Spontaneous casting functions...

'My father never lied to me. My spirits never lied to me. You are worth no more than a mewling pup."

At this point it might be easier just to do it by hand.

So, just to confirm the opening boons and hooks: Right, Ungoverned, Local Ally (Faerie Queen), and Writ of Crenellation for the boons; Hedge Tradition, Itinerants, Contested Resources, and Monster for the hooks?

"Um, Petrus."
