Waysoftheearth's Moria PBP
Looks great DoctorX, I love your attention to detail, and little bits of story around almost every item. Great work!doctorx wrote:Okay, I think I'm there and have updated my character sheet accordingly. If you'd please give it the once-over, ways, just to make sure I'm not too far-off the mark...

The hirelings are Dwarfs and the names are from the link you provided. I will change them to different letters so it doesn't get confusing on the battle map (though I'm hoping they will be non-combatants).waysoftheearth wrote:Very good Mushgnome.

Are your Hirelings Men or Dwarves? Their names seem all rather... anonymous? Also, as a matter of practicality, if I am to show them on a "battle map" it would be easier if each name starts with a different letter.
Also worth noting that fresh supplies will only be good for 2 days at the most, so the four of you will be able to eat 8 days worth... the other 20 days might be wasted.
Each person needs to drink one flask of water per day of adventurous activity (or per two days if idle).
Otherwise, looking great Mushgnome. You can post Sili on the PCs thread [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]
Great work Cal, you just need to update your story to refer to "Soval" instead of "Corin" and you're good to go to the PC sheet thread [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]calithena wrote:I think Soval is set now - let me know if you need anything else.
For your barrel purchasing pleasure...mushgnome wrote:What is the price please for a big, empty barrel? (For reference you quoted bulk 6, cost 20sp for a 20-pint barrel of beer.) We will fill it with water at the last potable spring and carry it on the cart to refill our individual waterskins.
Plausible, one supposes, but hardly an "adventurous" career. Then again, you could have all kinds of trouble securing those fresh rations, or storing them, or using them before they go bad, not to mention running and protecting the operation. And then of course you need to find a customer for your industrial quantities of trail rations. And then there's taxes to consider...mushgnome wrote:it occurs to me a clever and enterprising Dwarf could make a small fortune by converting fresh ingredients to trail rations on an industrial scale!

Yes indeed.ragnorakk wrote:I am finally getting around to equipping, sorry for the delay. A question on hiring a mercenary: I pay for the equippage and provisioning of my sell-sword guardsman, yes?
What does a Groom cost, I do not see it in the price of goods?waysoftheearth wrote:A great start Heartless... check your private messages, I sent you some additional information.
Also, of note:
You have 7 intelligence, but two languages. This means you can speak them both but cannot read or write. Apparently, you let your sword arm do the talking.
Your front AC is 2; 5(plate) -1(helm) -1(shield) -1(half your 3HD)
Your rear AC is 4; 5(plate) -1(helm)
Your saving throw is 13. Adjusted by +2 versus poison, paralysation, petrification or death.
As I mentioned in my message you may only begin with one Elvish item, and your should most certainly have a horse! You can have up to 5 hirelings -- a groom for your horse would be a good start for any proud Rohirrim spear!
Let us say that a groom is the equivalent of an animal handler, but specialised in horse care, and therefore costs 6 sp per day.heartless wrote:What does a Groom cost, I do not see it in the price of goods?
What level/abilities are the hireling for: Captain, Mercenary, Militiaman?
Cheers.
