FASHIONABLY LATE SEARING ENIGMA TUESDAY

If you travel west from Ruvia, to the coast of Illegon, you will reach the sea.
If you look out to the sea, in the distance you will see a spire.
If you approach the spire in a vessel, you will see that it glows.

Ancient, made of stone and iron, four-sided it extends from the sea, it looks like it is midway through crumbling into the waters, held together only by that last frightful breath before the fall--the gasp of terror of a foot missing a stair in the dark.

What dwells within the spire is unknown. Certainly nobody who has ever ventured within has returned. The great seagates sometimes open for vessels when they approach, but those who enter never exit again.

A few brave adventurers have tried scaling the Spires, to find out the secrets within, but none* have returned. There is a small business of expert climbers in Ruvia, who specialize in getting foolhardy men up the side, though none dare to install permanent pullies or scaffolding to the spire.

*One man, a famous pirate called Iago of Jenoesa, who had entered the spire with twenty armed men, emerged from the spire alive after venturing in. He brought out with him a sack with half of his own weight in rubies and emeralds the size of goose eggs. His account of his time in the spire is obviously false--he tells a different one every time he is asked, and makes no pretense of truthfulness or consistency. It seems that his experience, and the loss of his companions, is too painful for him to recount to the public.

It is common knowledge that Iago of Jenoesa is no longer capable of sleeping.

>>44442225
A depraved imagination that ripped off Broos and made them way worse.

>>44459917
How good a trader have you to be to find a buyer for a goose-egg-sized ruby in time to hire enough bodyguards to not be killed for the rest of your goose-egg-sized gems?

>>44460756
If you end up in Ruvia, you'll be fine. The Ruvian watch is literally overseen by Paladins, and one of the services the government provides for a small fee is that it will send a Paladin with you on high-stakes deals to act as a neutral agent to ensure that the law or whatever contract is made is enforced.

Iago was fortunate to have a very loyal crew, and he divided his treasure equally according to the contract signed by his men (he received 8 shares, officers received 4, men received 1) which was still enough that each man could retire happily and never lift a finger again.

>>44459917
>Certainly nobody who has ever ventured within has returned.
This is where your asterisk should have been. And you should have said only one has returned.

>>44462135
I think those who enter the gates and those who scale the walls are different people.

>>44459917
Tell us about the sex industry in Vosca and how various countries/races deal with them. Are any countries known for a particular fetish, like Japan and tentacle rape? What about the fetishization of Din and humans?

More or less as you'd expect. It'd not exactly a respect profession, but it's still work.

>any countries known for a particular fetish
Landlocked countries tend to fantasize about Zells. It's easy to idealize things you don't meet every day.

>Fetishization of Din and humans
Burdinadin like humans because they're novel and can get super obsessed with things the same way they can.
Zells like humans because they can whistle--something that only humans can do--which is sort of their equivalent of anime girl noises.

Zell girls are the apex sexual predator of the setting.

I don't even care that this wasn't the real Jimmy, this is now official Tattered Realms lore.

>>44468962
God damn Jimmy and his drunken ramblings.

Next thing you knew there's a video game going to be made out of this, just to end its production when Jimmy passes out or runs out of alcohol.

>>44469331
Maybe we actually should do a SoS/CotV vidya. How hard can that be?

>>44469466
Depending on the features you want, somewhere between hard and ridiculously hard.

>>44469620
So, you're saying it's possible?

>>44464515
I'm pretty certain this is the real Jimmy Rome fucking with us.

>>44469728
Sure. Lots of people make video games.
Riddle of Steel even has an almost semi proto video game, in the form of that automatic fecht program. It was apparently supposed to have an AI at some point, too, but I don't think anything ever came of that.

>>44479451
Not too quick on the uptake, eh?

Any more questions lads? I have all day.

>>44479597
Do you have anything more about King Arcturus and his relationship with Krajina? Do the Albish view him as the real king or is he just a big joke to everyone? What sort of Jimmyized Arthurian legend have you mixed in?

>>44479597
Jimmy, why is it that Din haven't dominated Vosca after all this time? They're outright superior to humans, and the immortality is a massive benefit to their civilization. For example, your veterans of war don't croak over after a couple of decades.

Ohanedin would have raped humans even harder the further you go back, especially in the paleolithic era.

>>44479684
>he hasn't heard about Helion

>>44479801
Didn't the Helions get conquered by the Ruvians anyway? I'd assume that's why they even worship Geonosus.

>>44479684
Humans come from Izagone, which doesn't appear to have Din. They probably had some time to develop in isolation, develop metal, all that. Wherever Din naturally occur, they have the advantage. The waters are ruled by Zells. Vosca was under Helian control for a shit long time. The Ohanedin have ruled their little corner of the world for the longest time. It's only when a natural opening appears that humans fill it. The Helians fell out of the sky, and so got conquered by Humans. Humans made metal which is a hard counter to Ohanedin. Humans went outside and chatted with girls which makes Burdinadin skin melt. They haven't taken the seas, because no opening exists for them.

>>44479670
Arcturus is called Arcturus the Forgotten because he's not considered very important by most Krajini.

The irony is that he has recently been making a lot of big and powerful friends, and rumors of his agents moving freely, even through the capital of Kralchester, have started to circulate.

Arcturus was forgotten, and it's given him the leeway he needed to gather a dangerous amount of power.

The exact nature of that power is best left for a later date.

>>44479684
Well, to begin with, they have. The problem is, race is passed down matrilineally, Zells aside. The Ohanedin have taken over Galli like ten times by now, but their rulership never lasts more than 2-3 generations before it's just humans again.

Almost all of the royal families of Vosca claim some sort of Dinnic ancestry, but they're human through simple weight of genetics.

To put it another way, all humans were initially black Izagoni. Now in Western Vosca, most humans are what we would call Caucasians. How do you suppose that happened? The grim answer is, probably through 5000 years of repeated Ohanedin conquests.

Zells are another matter, but coastal settlements tend to become urbanized, and urban populations are constantly declining, requiring influxes in from the countryside, which of course have little contact with Zells.

>>44480024
Can you expound on this some more? It confuses me, really. Heavy divine intervention is the only reason I could see them not being wiped out the moment they left Africa.

Sure bronze & steel armaments would be good against Ohanedin. But you'd need at least a few generations to really outnumber them through agriculture. And even then I assume Ohanedin picked that stuff up eventually.

The only group humans are superior to are goblins.

>>44479684
humans should really be in the same situation they are in monster girl quest

>>44480095
Individual superiority in combat is not always the same thing as fitness for an environment. The average Ohanedin could in ancient times (and indeed today) kill the average human, but human communities sprung up more easily and could survive in more disparate environments because of their less restrictive diet and more flexible societies.

Ohanedin civilization, even in the stone age, simply didn't expand as far as human civilization did, and as such even though they defeated humans wherever they encountered them (most of the time) humans eventually ended up controlling more land overall.

Now, millennia later, humans have such a great numerical advantage that the Ohanedin couldn't kill them all if they wanted to. Even the Orredin lack the power to destroy the entire human race.

Would the feder-like projections of the leftmost halberd here justify some kind of defensive bonus, like a point of Hilt AV or something?

Also check that sexy saber-halberd.

>>44513547
That is true. The Ohanedin are famous horsemen, though they're not as famous for actually fighting from horseback as the Lagorians. Ohanedin make better horseback-skirmishers than knights.

>>44513765
We almost produced a steppe-din, whose focus was not touching the ground. As such they had originally been tree-dwellers, but had adapted to symbiosis with various animals, and now do everything on horse/camel/elkback.
Then we realized that was kind of dumb, so we just made 'em humans.

Anon, they never had funds to begin with. They borrowed the money to get the art and shit done. On the plus side, that means they can't fold due to losing all their money.

>>44439979
Holy shit, Song of Swords is really good. It kinda makes me feel bad about the homebrew RPG system I've been on-and-off working on.

>>44529434
thanks senpai you're good too

>>44529434
It's alright. It's missing the Roleplaying parts of RPG. Everything not directly related to character creation or melee combat is impractical, like Arc and assigning bouts.

>>44529434
You sound like you just came back from a SoS campaign. Did just just come back from a SoS campaign? Can you regale us with tales from your SoS campaign?

>>44530561
No, I was just reading the PDF. A lot of the things are similar to ideas that I had, but much more competent and fleshed out.

>>44529434
To be fair the sodomites over at Opaque have been working on this for several years now and started off of a fairly strong base in RoS.
If it wasn't good you'd question whether everyone there wasn't also and Australlian Editor.

>>44530769
Yeah, I seriously can't wait to play it when it's finished. Like jesus christ seriously, well done >>44529804 .

>>44531265
It's in a playable state by now. I've been for seven or so months running a campaign with it.
I only wish that you had a chance to survive ranged combat with not-so-aggravating wounds. Like, really, nearly every wound is either not a wound or a straight up level five.

>>44530127
I, for one, can't wait for the autistically detailed social influence system and painfully well-researched rules for premodern criminal investigations and detectivery.

>>44531402
I've been running campaigns on and off for about a year now, and I agree with you. Ranged combat is a bit iffy right now simply because it swings between life and death so easily. I'm a bit hesitant to send ranged enemies after my players without first alerting them to their presence and allowing them to the cover.
Initiative too, but everyone knows that's wonky.

I disagree with that guy about the non Roleplaying aspects, though. The skill system is perfectly adequate, and while Arc has problems players tend to get into their Arcs well enough and play to them. I wish you could do stuff with it like Spiritual Attributes. That would push it into being a good system like SAs were. Otherwise it works fine.

Jimmy, what's the plan with Arcs? Are you using them as they are now or are you planning on having them be a resource to use like in Riddle of Steel?

>>44521393
>Forgetting the Worm

Does Krajina have knights as a social class? Jimmy said that their cavalry is generally light hussars, but are those made up on knighted Krajini? Is the country split up feudally, or is the monarchy absolute and in direct control of government?

>>44534854
Yes. The Krajini have a class of knights, more or less, called Bojari, or Bojars. The locals call them "Bowers." Originally the rank was reserved for Osterbs, but as time went on Albishmen started filtering into the ranks as well. They are expected to provide a small band of fighting men, and themselves, during wartime.

The Gusars are a mix of Bojars and of the common men (usually somewhat wealthy freemen) whom they raise and lead to war.

>>44536540
How much of a regular Krajini army is made up by their elaborately uniformed state troops, and how much is retinues and mercenaries?

>>44536710
It depends on the time of year and the conditions of the war (various nobles are exempt from serving in certain wars) but generally about 40% of the host is made up of actual State troops, 40% from various levies, nobles and bojars' retinues, and perhaps 20% mercenaries, most commonly lancers from Galli.

>>44537933
>lancers from Galli

How are the relations between Krajina and the continental kingdoms?

>>44537933
Jimmy, how would Geralt fair against the three best swordsmen in Vosca?

And a question to everyone, this being something that's almost never asked about characters, what would be his arcs?

>>44540225
Which Geralt are we talking about? What 'build'? Is he from 1, 2 or 3? Beginning or End?

>>44540225
Geralt is a fairly superhuman character, said to have abilities beyond those of regular humans. In terms of rote skill with a sword, someone like Gizka might be as good as he is, but he's also got the advantage of being a freakish mutant monster.

Maybe an Ohanedin somewhere could take him on, they seem to be similar levels of bullshit.

>>44540272
Guess I'll just say three. Geralt prior to his disappearance before/during the Second Northern War, Witcher 2 Start with imported game, 3 start. No idea about builds, honestly, unless Aard/Igni Spam is considered a build.

>>44540327
Some people seem to play potion dependant alcoholics, and some go for magic abuse from what I can tell. I'm sure there's a third build that uses neither too.

>>44540310
Book Geralt already killed a very Gizka like character, along with five or six hardened warriors at a time. I'd peg him as probably in the upper range of possible Song of Swords power levels, since he'd have 10 ADR and not much lower toughness and strength on top of really high proficiency and the ability to parry arrows. He's like a super Ohanedin.

I wonder if silver or steel would have a greater effect on an Odin, what with all their spirit stuff.

>>44540225
90% Gizka will kick his ass. King will kick his ass

>>44541117
Bonhart is the most Gizka-like guy I can think of, and Cirri offed him. Who did Geralt kill?

I think it depends on whether or not they have their stuff. If Gizka has Omraza, a sword that can literally cut through anything, she's got a big leg-up in swordplay.

Then again Geralt has magic.

>>44541216
I was thinking of Renfri, though I may be overestimating her actual skill. She was good enough to fight Geralt solo and actually wounded him, though, so she was no slouch.

>>44540225
His Belief is obviously the Witcher's Code that he made up. His Flaw, if he has one (depending on your definition of human) would probably be related to his stringent clinging to neutrality and occasional refusal to choose between evils. I guess his glory is Professional Ethics?

>>44541240
What would killing Vilgefortz and the Rivian Pogrom count for?

>>44541267
Glory for Witcher's Work? Doesn't he genuinely just want to be left alone to do that for most of his life?

>>44541298
Obviously, Rob later changed his name to King and now roams the universe challenging Murderhobos to battle and using his power of killing incredibly skilled fighters in embarrassing ways. His next target is Gizka, whom he plans to beat to death with a chair.

>>44541298
He obviously hates running around in sewers and killing weird Slavic rape monsters for a living. It's just that every time he tries to stop, he gets pulled into some new, greater levels of bullshit. By comparison it's way simpler to just ride around on his horse and have on/off relationships with hunchbacks. I don't think he takes Glory in doing the work, but he takes Glory in doing it well and staying professional about it.

>>44541372
Speaking of Slavic rape monsters, the Witcher series would be a good source for GMs interested in having a slightly more monster heavy Tattered Realms. The Slavic influence makes it a good hunting ground. Have your Dacian soldiers need help dealing with a Kikimore colony, or the local nobleman need someone to help him pick the Bruxa out of his court. Obviously mix things around, use different sorts of names maybe since the Witcher names carry a lit of baggage with the games and in folklore, but it's a good place to start for new and interesting monsters.

>>44541334
Lies, King is obviously Zetta, trying to take over another world.

>>44541468
>Slavic influence
>Kikimore colony
There is no such thing as "Kikimore colony" is Slavic folklore, friend.

>>44540225
Geralt vs Gizka: Geralt is superhumanly quick (which is Gizka's shtick) and highly skilled, but he's also taller than her and strong as balls.
Then again, she carries a gun and is a huge cheater. I'd say if they were both mounted Gizka would probably win because she has more experience fighting a horse, but on foot Geralt would take it, I have little down.

Geralt vs Korczak: The same as Gizka, complete with being a bit of a manlet. The difference is that Jerzy is a man, and is considerably stronger than Gizka, but is obviously not as strong as Geralt. He is less good of a horseman, so I'd say his odds are a bit better than Gizka's on foot, but worse on horse. Geralt probably wins.

3rd Place for swordsmen is tricky, I guess it could be Sedeas depending on how you define "swords." He fights with two weapons and he's no slouch, but I feel like Geralt would defeat him.

If you want a character who could almost certainly beat Geralt on foot, you'd have to look past swordsmen. Kal'Ceska or Ratko Abuslav I think would win, in large part because they're heavily armored and have protection from magic.

>>44541643
Yeah. The Slavic Kikimore is really, rest different from the Witcher Kikimore. Admittedly a very bad example. It's some sort of bird spirit originally, correct?

>>44541687
It's a variety of things in fairy tales. Hostile bog hag, bird spirit who sends nightmares, ugly house spirit like domovoi.

>>44541654
We've never really heard much detail about Jerzy other than Short, Polish, Saber, Soldier. What's his shtick other the just being a fantastic duelist?

>>44543289
Jerzy Korczak is a patriot. He's a Colonel in Lendia's army, and he fought with the Hussars during the Marju invasion, where he won some of the few victories against the invaders.There he was horribly wounded by a lance coated in Godsbane, but instead of staying in the hospital for treatment, he had his four companions carry him to three separate shrines that contained holy reliquaries, where he prayed despite his horrible injuries, and recovered.

Since then he has steadily risen in fortune and fame as one of the finest commanders on the continent, and one of the finest duelists. Perhaps *the* finest.

He is also known for defeating Sarah Gizka in a duel, when she was younger. He is part of the reason why she doesn't ever take fights lightly anymore.

She started a fight with him over nothing and he cut her fucking face in half.

>>44544105
>he was horribly wounded by a lance coated in Godsbane
The rare occasions when not being an insuperable divinity actually work out in your favor.

>>44544273
Oh, I don't know if this has been mentioned, but Godsbane is a chemical compound produced by some alchemists that prevents all known forms of magical healing.

>>44544304
>call it Godsbane because it prevents magical healing
>pray at three shrines, recover
>clearly not bane to gods
This is what they get for not naming it Wizardsbane.

>>44544378
It's older than that. Godsbane supposedly used to allow mortal men to slay demigods. These days it also prevents Paladins and Silver Guards and such from healing other people--or themselves.

The term is sort of heretical, but many justify by saying that since it has seven ingredients, it must be of The Seven, who nearly slew Genosus with a spear.

>>44544487
Does Godsbane work against Unkindlies OP Blood Magic?

Jimmy, why won't you shut up and take our money?

>>44544487

>>44544618

»Remnants of the combats are still seen in the Mexican towns of Zitlala and Acatlan today. They call them 'Tigre fights' and are still tied to changing seasons when the rains commence. Obviously no one dies in these fights anymore, but the blood spilled on the dirt is sacred since it's akin to ' watering the earth' metaphorically speaking.»

Thanks.

Oh boy I'm gonna make one hell of a sexy fanfic.

>>44550885
Capoeira has a bunch of styles, each with their own goal/mentality. Some are about playing it fast and flashy with jumps and twists and shit, some are playing it slow and steady, outsmarting an opponent with flexible and unusual movement, and some are about kicking the shit out of the other guy.

You usually don't get to see/learn that last one, it's more or less dead now as far as I know.

The most iconic capoeira move that ends up getting used in "serious" competitions is mea lua, the spinning roundhouse where you lean down with your upper body while raising your leg for the kick.

The ground-y grapple-y styles include some leg-scissor things that I don't know how to call.

>>44550885
If we're allowing impractical shit, can we get Aikido/Aiki-jūjutsu?

>>44550792
>>44551234
Or Eskrima, maybe.

>>44550792
Didn't you release an early version already? Do you have it?

>>44551917
Well Escrima is practical. It's "beat the fuck out of people with a baton" martial arts.

>>44551234
Shit, well... that stuff is so silly. I guess I could release a sort of "bullshido" expansion including those styles as well as Cap and maybe even some "chi" techniques and shit.

That is not wholly inaccurate. Slate is one of the most dangerous men alive, even by Paladin standards, but his power is more due to his enormous physique, powerful will, and extraordinary powers than to any particular skill with his weapon.
