>A human from Earth and a human from Faerun are both magically transported to your world.

>Which one is the more startled?
Most likely the human from Faerun. There's no magic, and there are only humans.

>If the BBEG of your last campaign appeared in your new setting, what would be his first reaction?
Mine's not for a campaign, so no BBEG.

>A Galactic Superbeing appears, demanding your setting's mightiest warriors challenge and defeat him in a WWF-style wrestling championship, or else he will destroy the world.
>Who's the ultimate Face?
'The Drake', darling of the duelling ring, in his distinctive helmet modelled after a legendary sea serpent, with his axe and shortsword he will defeat this monster for all the drake-a-maniacs, brother!

>Who's the ultimate Heel?
Probably the Albani First shield, defender of the Albani Emperor, though he's a bit 'shades-of grey'.

"But, you haven't taught us anything yet," you tell Master Roshi.

Goku nods.

"So, anyway, Launch," Master Roshi says, changing the subject. "Since you're my special guest and all, how would you like to take a romantic walk around my island paradise?"

Launch looks around. "Well, it doesn't look like a very long walk. Alright, that sounds...pleasant to me."

"You-you mean it?" Master Roshi asks in disbelief. "Oh boy!"

He begins dancing around with excitement.

"I think he liked that answer," Krillin comments, laughing.

>A. You're surprised Launch said yes

>B. You wonder when training will begin

>C. Ask Krillin if he's ever done martial arts before now

So let's get this right.

PP decided Warders box spam was too strong, so they got the nerf bat. They lowered their POW to 10 (now 11), to make sure that while they're in base to base they can have ARM 21...but they won't really hit that hard.

Then they remove animus buffing on troopers to ensure that wouldn't happen as well. They reduce ARM benefits from EC as well, as they really don't want ARM 22+ to be the norm.

Warders are now 17 points.

Now, let's look at Man o War Shocktroopers.


While under Shield Wall, they'll be ARM 21. Ok, same as Warders so far. But wait, Iron Flesh is +2 ARM now. So a full unit of Shocktroopers are going to be ARM 23. I didn't think that was acceptable! Oh well, I'm sure they got nerfed on their POW like Warders did.

Huh, they're POW 14 reach. That's 3 points higher than Warders. Damn they have CMA too. Well, wait anon, surely they're more fragile in wounds maybe than Warders?

8 boxes. And repairable, with Mechanics and a UA that prevents being pushed or knocked down. Well ok....they must be expensive then.

16 points for 5. Cheaper than Warders, plus they don't require the Krielstone to get high ARM. Well ok then...

So pButcher + 2 units of Man O War going to be a thing? Front unit will be ARM 23, no knocked down, no push, Shield Wall lasts until their next activation now. Engage them? Here comes Jacks or hell, he'll just throw Fury on the unit now instead so you can eat MAT 7 POW 17s.


Blatant cash grab by PP.

Trollbloods players already bought Warders for MMM, but Khador players didn't buy Man-o-Wars so there needed to be an incentive.

Tonight will be a special thread largely dedicated to reviewing the past events of the hive, since we've done quite a bit and it's been far too long, as well as a general discussion of the quest's overwhelming crunch. For some time I've been pondering on a method of overhauling it but such a dramatic change should not be done without tremendous amounts of player input.

Think of this as the token mid-season flashback/beach episode.

To get things started, I'll just give you guys the floor essentially and ask what you would like the quest's crunch to be focused on, and what you're all okay with me just glossing over and ignoring, as well as where you think the current system falls apart for you?

“And the winds would cry.
And many men would die.
And all the waves would bow down.
To the Lorelei...”

“I would certainly hope my newborn daughter is not giving cause for men to die,” you say from the nursery doorway. Lord Quentyn Qorgyle sits with your daughter, Lorelei, in his arms wrapped up in a blanket stitched with little scorpions, a gift from his and Obella’s mother Lady Elysa Dayne.

The dornishman scoffs casting a glance back towards his sister, your wife, sleeping blissfully in the bed. He holds Lorelei up for you to take before leaning back, crossing his leg and speaking in a hushed tone, “If she is anything like her mother. There is little hope for our kind.”

“Little hope there is already,” you respond, nestling her head into your arms. Her eyes open just enough to regard you, her mother’s pools of blue, the sparkle of amethyst.

“I cannot say I disagree Brynden. I am certain even the Prince would find cause to love her. I would suggest in the future, allow her to foster in the Water Gardens. I am certain your son Victus would not mind the trip either,” he says pausing for a chuckle, “My sister will not say it. But I know she will miss home and Lorelei should not be so far removed from her roots, her people. The dornish are proud people, she should be too.”

“A worthwhile suggestion Quentyn, I will take that to heart.”

“The Valyrians were a proud people once too my Lord,” he continues nearly interrupting you. His eyes cast upon his fidgeting fingers, “Do not allow her to forget who she is, in any regard. She is not the Princess that was so cruelly taken from us by that iron bastard… But… There is a hope in her. And in all of your future children.”

You eyes stay fixed upon your daughter, her arm reaches up for your face, brushing the pink raw flesh from your burn upon your cheek. You stand in silence for a moment and nod your head, emerald flickers in the morning sun as they glance towards Lord Qorgyle, “I shan’t.”

Quentyn responds with a wordless nod gathering himself up and standing, he places a hand upon your shoulder as he passes, “Later, shall we discuss our plans to travel to Highgarden? My son has expressed a love for your roof ‘training yard’. Before dinner?”

“A plan Lord Qorgyle.”

His hand slips off your shoulder as he leaves the room. The quiet only interrupted by the soft cooing of your daughter and Obella’s restlessness as she awakens. She holds up her arms, a soft pout upon her lips as she wishes for her daughter. Taking your place upon the side of the bed you softly hand her off, Lorelei quick to take breast to lips and feed.

“Was that Quentyn I heard?”

You sigh, running a hand over the bristles of your hair, still hadn’t entirely gotten use to that, “It is his niece Obella.”

“And she is my daughter, our daughter,” she half heartedly retorts, “Dorne is no place her, not until she is grown and a woman fledged. My brother knows so little of Sunspear, of the Water Gardens. Children at play is all he sees...” her voice trails off as your hand goes to rest upon her cheek. She smiles, and leans forward into your kiss.

---

“Are you certain you wish to attend my Lady?” Sybelle Sand one of Obella’s handmaidens asks as she dashes after the both of you.

“I am Steadhold’s Lady, Sybelle. Her matters are my matters.”

“But you should be resting my Lady-”

“Enough Sybelle. I will hear no more of it. I am not so frail a creature that I cannot walk a flight of stairs and attend to my House’s affairs.”

You cast a glance towards Sybelle, emerald flame causes her to blush and her face to deflate in the eyes of her opposition, “Yes my Lady. I am sorry, it was not my place.”

Olyver and Worsh greet you at the doors to the grand hall, snapping off quick salutes before opening the door. Rolling your neck you press down the need to smile. Steadhold was alive it felt. Illiad is entertaining a host of merchants for your Caravanserai in Dyre Den, a few were old friends, others new and young. You had thought it best to hire an Essosi for the job, Lord Eustace Brune seemed amused by the type. The dornish party that had accompanied Lord Qorgyle yet still remained, intermingling with your rather odd household, it occurred to you now more of them were Westerosi than they had been before. The Sons of Gold still remained, but everything else… It was different now. Alive. Thriving. Always growing.

The clicks of your boots draw attention from those finishing brunch, your strides sending them to the winds as it always had before. Eyes are drawn to the servants fixing the new tapestries upon the walls, the colors so rich and vibrant it felt blinding. A glass maker is taking measurements for an old faded stained glass window, it was in tribute to the Seven you recall, your father had once said it was gift from the High Septon himself to the newly made Lord Aeson Malroy. It would do your ancestors proud to have it once again shine brightly. Obella had taken to task rather quickly, Steadhold hadn’t quite felt this clean and lively since your childhood. She smiles by your side as your head swivels about to look at all of the new work.

Sand crunches underfoot as you take a few paces up the beach, scanning the horizon for anything that catches your eye. Other than the beach, there is only the thick trees clumped at the foot of the mountains, and that thin stream trickling out from their midst. That's where Murasa suggested you start, following the stream to an old village. If there's anyone here, that's most likely where they could be found.

Which, considering your position, might be a good reason to avoid that route. Far easier to go unnoticed if you-

The crack of a rifle shatters the still air and drops you into a low and cautious crouch. With redoubled care, you cast your eye around for the source of that lone gunshot. It seemed to come from the west, further along the shoreline. The land curves, and hides the source of that stab of noise from sight. If you had to guess, though, you'd say it wasn't a gunfight. Presumably nothing that might suggest combat, but you can't be certain - some fights end with the first shot, after all.

As you wait for another shot, you turn your eye to the thick trees. They'd give ample cover to you, if you chose to follow the river from a hidden vantage point, but they'd offer the same cover to anyone following you – or sneaking up on you. Moving through dense undergrowth has its own risks, noise for one thing, or having to slow your pace.

When the stillness is broken once more, another shot sending a number of birds scattering into the open sky, you slowly rise up from your crouch and plan your next move.

>Head upriver to the old village. You don't have time to waste
>Sneak through the forest. If there's anyone out there, you want to get the drop on them
>Investigate those gunshots. It's the first sign of life you've seen so far

“I do” you admit “but I want to discuss it with the girls first, after this last weekend I think we might have another team forming.”

“There is another task that would benefit from your attention” says the Headmaster casually, too casually “whilst you were away one of the students mistakenly poured one of my experiments down the wrong drain and as a result the cellars are now full of rats the size of dogs. When you have a few hours do look into this would you? It might be a useful training exercise for the girls.”

You laugh into your drink “rats in the cellars? Seems appropriate for a training mission.”

Eventually, you seek your bed, and rest.

But what task will you be doing the next day, when you're not teaching, preparing lessons or marking work?

>Forming another team
>Clearing rats out of the basement
>Training for the clubs next dungeons

There's */* treefolk, courtesy of sylvan offering, but I don't think X/X elemental tokens were ever printed.

There is wrong and there is right, there is black and there is white, and there is nothing in between.

Yes, yes, and yes.
If a ronin wants to not be shit, he needs to focus entirely on getting better skills and stats, because they aren't going to be getting any techniques that can be used as a crutch.

>>47490211
What Ronin techniques are worth hunting for? IMO rank 1 Forest Killers and The Tessen are on par with some great clan techniques.

>>47490180
Honestly if you want to play a Ronin game, play 3e or 3eR. Both have decent to godly ronin schools. 3e's version of the Ronin Duelist is insane in the membrane and should have been called the Ronin Assassin School.
