The Beard

[clmckay]

I think he should. Sooner or later someone will die, maybe he'll come in handy.

Can the mystic use any conventional melee weapons?

Does The dwarf have a sword of any type?

Maybe we should buy one of them a weapon.

Or perhaps we should get Rumseeker some chain mail to up his defense a bit.

Since it is now easier to restore my mindpoints out of combat, I will probably be using my heal ability more often. So I can probably search for treasure more myself in the next quest.

As for using equipment, I thought the Mystic was basically like a wizard in regards to equipment... dagger, staff, etcetera.

Also, another modification for Concentration, to make it less powerful. It cannot be performed when monsters are visible to the Hero. (That seems more plausible, in my opinion.) The Mystic is not a combat hardy hero, in my humble opinion. Someone who has practiced with various mental techniques, including psionic combat. But not someone who can go into a trance in the midst of combat. As a slight buff, though. Using Concentration does prevent the Evil Wizard from taking an EWP or token. (In other words, it does not count as a Hero doing nothing.)

EDIT: Actually, lets play that part about Concentration in the quest after the next one. We can work with the other modifications first to see if they work.

Does The dwarf have a sword of any type?

No, but he's ok with the crossbow for now.

I suggest to buy a Crow's Muzzle for the Pirate. Using his attack bonus in unexplored rooms, he will roll 4 dice and if he scores at least one his attack results in . Good chances.
If the rest players aprove i'll sell my broadsword+175gold and buy it.

Anderas, where can we check about the mercenaries' stats? AA may hire one for free, right?

Let's go kill some Orcs now!

[Anderas]

On the yeoldeinn main page, NA ruleset.
I don't have them here. Let's use the normal rules of the NA Version for them.

AA can have a mercenary as long as he is ok to wear the filthy beard, yes.

[Daniel]

When Abdul has gone completely insane, I doubt he'll care that much about the filthy beard, so sure. Let's get a mercenary.

[Anderas]

Two things to mention:



And

[Daniel]

The Swordsman, everyone? At least that's what I'd go with, for a bodyguard.

And that picture of Abdul Alhazrad with a beard is awesome........ The Mad Arab's on his way!

[Sotiris]

The Swordsman, everyone?

Yes! Our best option since we have a crossbow and disarm ability in our party.

[Anderas]

Ok everybody
If you're ready, we can start the next quest. I just outlined it on the paper.

You advance in the night to the suspected Orc Village. If the Gnoblar hides anywhere in the badlands, it must be here: He was working with this clan all the time, and it wouldn't be likely that any other clan accepts him after he started working with this one.

If you're sure that you have bought everything, i'd post the first picture today evening.
Treasure Deck and EWP Deck are ready.

[Sotiris]

Actually i'll not buy the crow's muzzle yet. I don't really need it against orcs. It's better to keep our gold for a chain mail.
