Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

Torus called Homer stops looking at Otis and immediately turns his attention to Bizenghast. He jumps back several paces and hides behind Susanna. You can see he examining himself, looking at his arms, legs, and clothing, and then pinching himself. Satisfied that all is in place, he looks at Bizengha...

Otis says "I'm glad your spider is okay. Maybe he can help us find someplace to go, after we check out that stone thing. I don't wanna be anywhere near this crazy town when that King-a-ma-jig fella shows up." He glances at the Torus guy and says "Why are you helping us, mister? Is there a place we ...

Torus known as Homer hurries along to a cottage down the lane. He rushes into the building leaving the door open. You see him rummaging through the cottagle pulling leather volumes together and scrolls. He throws as much as he can into a knapsack and the rest he tucks under his arms. Leaving the cot...

I agree. I wouldn't let level dictate when a PC could begin building a small fort at least. History is full of inexperienced people that have somehow garnered power, either by wealth, or circumstance. In my campaign world, I consider squires as 1st level fighters and knights 2nd and higher level. It...

Something I'd like to try is clearing out an area of wilderness and building a fortress.

(Susanna comes out, carrying both spear and shield. If anyone gives her an odd look, she’ll just shrug and say “weapons should be used.”) She’ll ask Torus if he knows anything about the symbol on the shield. At his comment, she’ll quickly say, “what? What is it? Tell me please.” Torus looks at Susa...
