The Gaming Den

The Unnamed Covenant. 26 March 1220. Spring. (Morning) Sitting up from his place on the stone floor Orsen adds his thoughts, "Though I care nothing for your prattle on the distribution of vis. I'm disturbed at all the hate you seem to be throwing the wolf's way. Petrus seems to only want membe...

14 February 1219. Winter. The next village along the Orsha Portage. Orsen responds, a bit confused by the steward's opinions, "I hadn't thought about the boat trip at all during this conversation, but I don't see how it's much harder to transport wolves than sheep. Do you have a personal fear ...

14 February 1219. Winter. The next village along the Orsha Portage. "I was thinking more of a companionship, we'd be stronger together. I know you want to keep your power, there's a larger forest nearby where you can settle in. I'm sure the other magi wouldn't mind if you had a seat on the cou...

14 February 1219. Winter. The next village along the Orsha Portage. Speaking in Latin, Orsen turns to Petrus, "I don't know what you're trying to get at, but may be best to not get on his bad side for now." He turns back to the Wolf, "It appears we may have had some miscommunication....

14 February 1219. Winter. The next village along the Orsha Portage. "Buy it off? How is that supposed to help anything? I say we buy a herd of sheep, lead them to the covenant, and the wolves can eat on the way. It'll be nice to have a reliable food source, we can get some growth rings going.&...

14 February 1219. Winter. Orsha Portage.

Orsen perks up as the conversation turns his way "An excellent plan. We'll go to the next village and trick them into giving us cattle. Maybe they'll have some pack mules over there as well."

14 February 1219. Winter. Orsha Portage. "Though I confess we are low on food at the moment, we can buy more at the next town. We were given a healthy sum of coin for our venture. We may even be able to use our abilities to pull game from this barren forest. Our pack is tired, and it would be ...

14 February 1219. Winter. Orsha Portage. "I'm giving you the choice of survival for your whole pack. Please excuse my friends for the damage already caused. The long winters will be less of a burden from this point on. We also have problems of our own, but we can share, and all will benefit.&q...

14 February 1219. Winter. Orsha Portage.

"Our pack wishes to help the weak rather than let the strong consume. We wish to help your pack in this situation. It is of my utmost concern that this situation be settled peacefully, but are also willing to fight if need be."

14 February 1219. Winter. Orsha Portage. Starting the transformation process, Orsen speaks to the pack, not knowing on whom to focus, hoping for the best. "Truce. Be calm. We have meat, shelter, warmth, and safety. If this attack was territorial, we promise to leave without causing any more ha...

25 March 1220. New Years Day. Winter. Seventeen days east of Kiev. Peeking into the newly crafted building, Orsen speaks up. "I'm all for the covenant being a continuous connected building. Something to suggest, an extremely tall tower placed in the center. You know how much you could do with ...

14 February 1219. Winter. Orsha Portage.

Seeing as Nidratr has control on the mundane wolf situation, Orsen abandons the grogs, rushing to where magical resistance is in abundance.

14 February 1219. Winter. Orsha Portage.

Orsen steps forward letting out a ferocious growl and swiped the air with his enormous paw.

Intimidate: 1d10 +1(Presence) +5(Brawl) = 8+6 = 14

14 February 1219. Winter. Orsha Portage.

Orsen, hearing the screams, breaks from his contemplation and rushes towards the fleeing grogs, ready to defend.

14 February 1219. Winter. Orsha Portage.

Unable to find a spell suitable to the situation, Orsen searches his mind for a creature able to support such an attack.

Magic Lore: 1d10 +2(Magic Lore: Creatures) +3(Intelligence) = (0+5) = 5 (botch dice 8, 9, 3, 8)

14 February 1219. Winter. Orsha Portage. Orsen's back rolls as his size grows formidably, and takes a defensive stance. Using his enhanced vision he scans the area for the source of aggression. Form of the Great Bear MuAn 20 Casting Total: 1d10 +0(Muto) +0(Muto) +11(Animal) +4(Stamina) +1(Aura) = (...

Also - could the players please give me a steer on whether you want to set off in a convoy with supplies, grogs and seed capital to build a covenant from scratch, or whether you want to turn up and find the buildings already there because your grogs arrived a year ago and put it up while you were f...

"Thank you brethren. I wish to be known as Orsen."

Laertes wrote: It bears his new name, asserts that he is neither German nor a Magyar, and certifies that his Gauntlet was witnessed by Quaesitors Athanasia ex Tremeri, Etrusco ex Guernici and Ahmed Caush Ongunar ex Miscellaneii.

I'm just wondering, what is different when someone is German?

The apprentice takes a long sigh of relief, before shifting into a large brown bear. A shredded robe lies beneath his impressive paws.

A tall, broad shouldered apprentice, with long unkempt brown hair, steps forward haltingly, intoning the words repeated so many times before.

"I do."

I notice you don't have a Native Language. Everyone gains one of these for free unless they take Feral Upbringing. It would probably be the local language spoken in the place where Alfbern was raised by faeries. I very much like the Volga Bulgaria idea. I would likely be raised North of there in a ...

Nonetheless, I'd like the two of you to just confirm that you're both comfortable that the other one isn't stepping on your toes. I don't want either of you to end up as the other's de facto sidekick. I had planned to take Deft Form(Herbam), but anything other than Intellego would be low level. So ...

I much prefer the homesteading option versus the hackneyed adventuring party. I'd rather play Beyond the Borders as After Winter focuses on stolen honour and comparison to the deceased archmagi. I would like my character to be a bear wizard who gets along excellently with animals, especially other b...
