Drufle (GM)
You're level 1 now!
Yeah let's uh.
Let's do the path vote tomorrow.
Golurk probably needs to sleep.

Roy
its 3:10 but im not sleepy yet

Rüsenfeld
hey guys

Roy
lets do it

Drufle (GM)
... really?

Rüsenfeld
guys
WE'RE LEVEL 1, MOFOS

Drufle (GM)
Well, I mean, if everyone's up for it.

Drumun
woo
let do this now

Rüsenfeld
it starts!

Drufle (GM)
We good for the path vote?

H. Knight
somehow I just can't work up the excitement

Drumun
while its fresh

Rüsenfeld
you wwill be able to raise attributes... possibly.. maybe..

Drufle (GM)
HK had a bit of a hard time in that fight.

Rüsenfeld
and become considerably more able to beat stuff

Drufle (GM)
Alright!
Welcome, one and all, to the Novice path vote!

Drumun
right then

Rüsenfeld
i have monies noted on my sheet, all.

Drumun takes out his Sax and plays

Rüsenfeld
if you wnt i can keep banks

Drumun
"This is much better"

Rüsenfeld
or you can note your own

Drufle (GM)
So, this is how we're gonna do this.
Are you all at least somewhat familiar with the four options?

Drumun
I have my share of muns on my sheet

Drumun is very careful with the silver coin

Drumun
we got Warrior, Priest, Mage, and Rouge

Drufle (GM)
The Warrior, Magician, Rogue, and Priest, yes.
The classic four archetypes.
Now, throughout this initial adventure, I was keeping track of how your characters behaved.
So I have here a list of the paths I believe are most fitting here for each character.

H. Knight
fighter, wizard, monk or anthro bat

Drufle (GM)
:P

Rüsenfeld digs the anthro bat

Drumun
D:

Rüsenfeld
because all my characters are just like me, total furries

Drufle (GM)
We're going to do a full vote, where you list the paths in order of preference for a character.
Instead of just saying which one you think is best.
This should hopefully prevent ties.

Rüsenfeld nodnods

Drumun
alright
who wants to go first?
HK for MVP?

Rüsenfeld
we do this for each char?

Drufle (GM)
We'll start with HK.
For each one, yes.

H. Knight
do I look away

Drufle (GM)
I'll give my recommendations first.
No, you have to vote too!

H. Knight
for myself? weird

Drumun
I mean, this is ultimately a suggestion

Drufle (GM)
For each character, I'll give my votes, then the character's player, and then the other three players.

Drumun
you can disregard our vote if you want

Drufle (GM)
Indeed.
So as a note.
The way I picked my options was by using a couple of personality traits for each path.

Drumun
of course

Drufle (GM)
Warriors are brave or reckless, Magicians are curious or insane, Rogues are clever or backstabbing, and Priests are loyal or zealous.

Drumun
also the one magic spell the entire dungeon

Drufle (GM)
There were also four choices that gave precedence to a path, yes.
The scroll gave you a good push towards Magician.

Drumun
yay for Roy

Drufle (GM)
Volunteering yourself at the beginning of the game gave you a good push for Warrior.

Roy
:o

Drufle (GM)
Destroying the altar gave you a push for Priest.

Drumun
I think we all tried to do that
down with the altar

H. Knight
hhow about college tries at destroying the altar

Drufle (GM)
And looting the corpses gave you a push for the Rogue.

Roy
cultists suk!!

Rüsenfeld looks sheepish

Drufle (GM)
So, my votes for HK.

Drumun continues to play his sax. No need to rush

Drufle (GM)
My votes are, in order, Warrior, Priest, Magician, Rogue.
I was really struggling to decide if you would be a Warrior or Priest.
Because you acted quite a lot as both.

H. Knight
you sure???

Drumun
you are very against evil

Drufle (GM)
That was my opinion, at least.

Drumun
and were brave

Drufle (GM)
What is your vote, Mopp?

H. Knight
Warrior Priest Rogue Magician
didn't even _try_ for magic

Drufle (GM)
True.

H. Knight
despite what I wrote as backstory
oh well

Drufle (GM)
I gave you a little leg up because of your backstory :P
Roy? What is your vote?

H. Knight
it'd only have worked if I was already a magician
like in PF

Drufle (GM)
True.

Roy
warrior priest rogue magician

Drufle (GM)
I'm seeing a pattern here.
Drumun?

Drumun
yeah..
I second Roy's

Drufle (GM)
And Rusenfeld?

Drumun
HK is a warrior at heart

Drufle (GM)
Uh oh, did Sol step away?

Drumun
uh oh

Drufle (GM)
Alright well while he's away, we'll temporarily suspend finishing WK's vote.
Let's continue on for the moment.
We'll do Roy's vote next.

H. Knight
but
we still need him
for all votes

Drufle (GM)
I know.

Drumun
yeah he kinda has to be here

Drufle (GM)
We can come back to each one once he arrives.
Or we can just wait.

Rüsenfeld
sorry

Drufle (GM)
Oh, there he is.

H. Knight
hallo~

Drufle (GM)
Rusenfeld, what is your vote for HK?

Rüsenfeld
had some IRL minor emergency

Drumun
hallo lad!

Rüsenfeld
lemme read back

Drufle (GM)
The current votes are WPMR, WPRM, WPRM, WPRM.

Rüsenfeld
i agree with drufle's order
he'sdefinitely a warrior first and rogue last inmo

Drufle (GM)
Well, I think that settles it then.

H. Knight
I read that as a stalling engine noise Drufle

Rüsenfeld
me tooo
hahahaha

Drumun
yeah its a strange sound

Drufle (GM)
20 points for Warrior, 15 for Priest, 7 for Magician, 8 for Rogue.

H. Knight
HEHEHE I AM A SUPAHDEAD WARRIRA

Drufle (GM)
So, do you agree to be a Warrior, Mopp?

H. Knight
hyes

Drufle (GM)
Alright!
Next up, we have Roy.

Roy
W A R M A C H I N E

Drumun
Roys our girl

Drufle (GM)
I'm going to be honest, it was hell to pick between Rogue and Magician here.
But my final vote is Magician, Rogue, Priest, Warrior.

Roy
same

Rüsenfeld
RMPW

Drufle (GM)
Oh, ok.

Drumun
hmmm
MRWP

Drufle (GM)
Drumun? HK?

Drumun
make all the noises

H. Knight
RMWP

Drufle (GM)
Oh dear, this might be a close one.

Drumun
everyone made a different order
except roy and druf

Rüsenfeld
well golurk makes the final choice

Drumun
tru

Drufle (GM)
18 Magician, 17 Rogue, 8 Priest, 7 Warrior.
That's, uh, really close.

H. Knight
so close

Drufle (GM)
Golurk?
You have the last say here.
It really is a tough choice for Roy.

Roy
you know me
i love the magicks

Drufle (GM)
Fair enough!
Magician it is!

Drumun
Alright, we got a mage
we probably need one

Drufle (GM)
Next up, we have Drumun.

Drumun
hoo boy

Rüsenfeld
we kinda do

Drumun
probably not much of a choice for me, is there?

Drufle (GM)
So, my vote wasn't nearly as bad for this one.
My vote is WRPM

Drumun
Well, I'd go WPRM

Rüsenfeld
WWW... and.. oh, W?
lol

Drumun
I am not particularly clever

H. Knight
WPRM

Roy
mine is WPMR

Rüsenfeld
WPRM

H. Knight
you are no rogue
you fall over yourself
even with the sneakers

Drufle (GM)
Honestly I had the other three paths tied.
I just put R up front because he figured out the ghoul trick.

Drumun
Warrior then the other three

Drufle (GM)
So, Warrior by a landslide!
Do you agree, Noven?

Drumun
I'm curious, what did it end up as?
also yes, I am warrior

Drufle (GM)
What did what end up as?

Rüsenfeld
the score?

Drumun
the tally

Drufle (GM)
Oh.
One sec.
20 W, 10 R, 14 P, 6 M.
You were very not magic.

Drumun
good god I have 20 health now

Rüsenfeld
a magician you are not

Drufle (GM)
And finally, Rusenfeld!

Rüsenfeld
holy shit
hmmm
i wonder what your vote waas

Drufle (GM)
You were right, Sol.
There wasn't a whole lot of choice here.

Drumun
oh, I get another profession

Rüsenfeld
probably rogue second, eh?

Drufle (GM)
My vote is PRMW.

Rüsenfeld
called it

H. Knight
RPWM

Rüsenfeld
ya'll?

Drumun
RPWM

Rüsenfeld
wow

H. Knight
the looting thing caught my attention more

Roy
PRWM

Drumun
ya...you speak of god, but you loot the shit out of stuff

Drufle (GM)
Rusenfeld, your vote?

Rüsenfeld
I have a hard time

Roy
also he did that sick jump eh

Rüsenfeld
because I agree I'm quite rogueish

H. Knight
yeh

Rüsenfeld
but
PRWM

Drufle (GM)
The final tally, then.

H. Knight
the alucard avatar is also an influence, unfortunately

Drumun
and now I have a self heal

Rüsenfeld
I'm considering keepign it

Drufle (GM)
18 P, 17 R, 6 M, 9 W.

H. Knight
aw

Drufle (GM)
Of course, this is only a suggestion.

Rüsenfeld
i would've gone rogue if that was the top vote
but
priest it is

Drufle (GM)
Very well!

Rüsenfeld
ge tit?

Drumun
well alright then

Rüsenfeld
gone rogue?
heh

Drufle (GM)
Two warriors, a magician, and a priest.

H. Knight
the die has been cast!

Drufle (GM)
Way to be relatively diverse.

Drumun
and I have boons when using weapons
cumbersome isn't so bad anymore

H. Knight
srsly can we cast new dies

Drufle (GM)
:P

Rüsenfeld
priests are pretty cool, actually

H. Knight
to replace the computer ones

Rüsenfeld
my new god traditions are awesome

Drufle (GM)
I mean, I have actual dice here.
I can roll those instead.

Rüsenfeld
yeah roll those
i fucking can't stand the rng anymore

H. Knight
I trust them more

Rüsenfeld
i swear it's trending

Roy
lol

Drumun
I have a bunch of wooden D6s
no d20s though

Rüsenfeld
why would you ever need more than one of each die

Drufle (GM)
Rusenfeld, you get Life/Celestial/Theurgy, right?

Rüsenfeld
yup!

Drufle (GM)
Nice.

Rüsenfeld
theurgy is great!
zealousy is powerful apparently

Drufle (GM)
Roy, I assume you'll probably get some of the traditions we discussed earlier?

Drumun
I need a new profession
Warriors get one apparently

Roy
yee

Drufle (GM)
Well remember that we have a time skip in between now and the next adventure.
Decide where your powers and abilities came from, and tie in some new professions to that!

Rüsenfeld
i'm gonna roll a d6 to try and randomise my training

Roy
roy is now 60

Rüsenfeld
but i will pick my own if it's shite
is taht ok?

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.

Drumun
I'm guessing that the world is going to shit, so I learn to fight a bit better

Drufle (GM)
By "time skip", I mean like a few weeks, tops.

Drumun
Soldier?
old memories

Rüsenfeld
rolling 1d6( 6 ) = 6

Drufle (GM)
Not a bad plan.
Hey!

Rüsenfeld
hahahahahahahaha

Drufle (GM)
Isn't that the one you wanted?

Rüsenfeld
wink wink nudge nudge eh druf

Drumun
what did that get him?

Drufle (GM)
Or was I thinking of something else.

Rüsenfeld
was there ever a choice

Drufle (GM)
Not really.
Luck solidified your choice.

H. Knight
rolling 1d6( 6 ) = 6

Rüsenfeld
ok lemme put that down

Drumun
what are these rolls for?
did I miss something?

H. Knight
I guess I found an old clockwork sensei

Drufle (GM)
These are for training.

H. Knight
you can roll the source of your novice training

Rüsenfeld
training goes in professions?

H. Knight
look in teh book

Drufle (GM)
Yes.
I mean, I know where Roy's abilities come from.
So Golurk doesn't have to roll for that if he doesn't want to.

Drumun
where'd that come from?
where is this table?

H. Knight
The King In Yellow
:v

Rüsenfeld
page 56 for me

Drufle (GM)
It's on the same page as the Novice Paths.

Rüsenfeld
it's a page or 2 before that one

Drufle (GM)
Go to the Warrior page, it's right there.

Drumun
oh I missed that
I don't think I need to randomize this

Drufle (GM)
Man, it really is silly how many spells Magicians get.

Rüsenfeld
def = agility?

Drufle (GM)
You can get 8 right from the start
Usually, yes.
Some races have different things though.
So check human to make sure.

Rüsenfeld
well i'm ah uman
it was 10 to begin with

Drumun
actually, can I use my Profession to instead learn a language?
just...I want to read common

Rüsenfeld
Defense equals your Agility score
alright then

Drufle (GM)
Yes.

Drumun
yeah, def is basically how hard it is to hit you
was that yes to rus?

Drufle (GM)
To you.

Drumun
right then

Drufle (GM)
You can replace profession choices with a language, if I remember right.

Rüsenfeld
man.. shared recovery :D

Drufle (GM)
You guys have some good abilities now.
Hopefully you won't die as much!

Drumun
self heal is pretty nice
damn that fight was stressful
then is was just silly

Drufle (GM)
Oh yeah, Catch your Breath is so good.

H. Knight
do I really get 5 hp

Drumun
yup

H. Knight
amazing

Drumun
I think I'm all good

Drufle (GM)
The hp increases will never be amazing.

Drumun
heal all damage?

Drufle (GM)
Oh yeah.
You guys can heal yourselves back to full.

Drumun
we need to fix those bars
because they are not working right

Roy
ja

Drumun
Health isn't what they need to be tied to

Roy
it has to be tied with damage yeah?

Drufle (GM)
Kinda, yeah.
I wish you could tie damage to one of those boxes and health to the other.

Drumun
damage is an atribute

Roy
i didnt even notice since this sheet doesnt have a current hp stat

Drufle (GM)
Nope.
You're supposed to add to damage.
Instead of taking away from current hp.

Drumun
oh, you can't have the Max be an atribute?

Roy
okie

Drufle (GM)
So I was considering putting damage on that bar instead.
But we can figure this stuff out later.

Drumun
make it a red bar
if it fills, you fie
die

Rüsenfeld
yeah damage is a more logical choice there

Drufle (GM)
Ooh, maybe that'd work.

Drumun
anyways, how does our adventure end?

H. Knight
yeah we need to tell peeps
about the horrible cult

Drufle (GM)
The starting adventure ends back in Bastion, informing them about what went down in the catacombs.

Drumun
how do we leave bastion?

Drufle (GM)
They're not really sure what to do about the ghoul though.

Drumun
I offered to use my boat

Drufle (GM)
A good question!

Drumun
I'm a ferryman

Drufle (GM)
Well, you're going to have something a bit different.
After a few days pass of you healing up, an emissary from the capital arrives.

Rüsenfeld
healing rate, perception and other such attributes do change if my scores change right?

Drufle (GM)
Yes, Rusenfeld.
The emissary bears a latter stating that Rusenfeld and his comrades are to come to the capital immediately.

Drumun
how did they learn of us

Drufle (GM)
Divination.

Drumun
oh

Rüsenfeld
They're like the main power in the land

Drumun
"Eh, what you got there, Rus?"

Drufle (GM)
The Inquisition has a lot of high power mages.

Rüsenfeld
the church behind the imperial state as it were

Drumun
that's quite frightening
good thing they're on our side, right?

Drufle (GM)
The emissary has a cart, and he offers to bring you back on it.

Rüsenfeld
yeah actually they have pretty benevolent tenets.. but it doesn't mean the inquisition isn't corrupt
we'll have to see, won't e
we*

Drufle (GM)
Indeed!
So next time, we'll be headed to or in the Capital.
Depends on what I figure out at that point.

Drumun
it'll be a long journey
we learn some shit

Drufle (GM)
That's what the time skip is for!

Drumun
how to fite better
what's the moon looking like?

Drufle (GM)
Alright, that's all for today.

Drumun
its been a few days

Drufle (GM)
Uh, the moon?
It's looking pretty cool.

Drumun
:P
you know what I mean

Drufle (GM)
Bit of a waxing gibbous there, actually...

Drumun
ah shit

Drufle (GM)
I mean, a full moon happens once a month.

Drumun
yes

Drufle (GM)
This was bound to happen eventually.

Drumun
but like... a third of a month has passed
I need to be ready

Drufle (GM)
Inded.

Drumun
the others have no idea

Drufle (GM)
and Indeed.
So that's all for now!

Rüsenfeld
it's a shame i can't raise oen attrib by 2 instaed of 2 by 1
i'm definitely a will-weighted character now

Drumun
I put mine into Will and STR

H. Knight
yeah I would like
more strength

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, make sure you raise the attributes you'll actually use for magic.

H. Knight
but I need to raise defense
to match a regular doggamn clockwork

Rüsenfeld
i was left with no choice, so i raised will by 1 and int by 1

Drufle (GM)
I have to go now, so if you have any questions leave them in telegram and I'll get to them later.

Rüsenfeld
will for my spells, int for perception

Drumun
well alright

H. Knight
ok, thanks for the sesh

Rüsenfeld
i'm staying here to complete my level up, drufle, is that ok?

Drufle (GM)
Go ahead!

Drumun
yes, it went not absolutely deadly

Drufle (GM)
GM out.

Rüsenfeld
thanks for the session!

Drumun
see ya
thanks for the games
till next time
PEACE
