Trade and Market Hall / Could someone tell me the
« on: September 16, 2016, 07:47:40 am »

Could someone tell me the date for the current prices list?  I'm assuming there's one later than the original post, though I haven't managed to spot it skimming through the messages, that has the prices for minerals, dusts, ingots, etc.

Trade and Market Hall / Into the hall comes a tawny
« on: September 16, 2016, 05:42:30 pm »

Into the hall comes a tawny creature, leonine body stalking soundlessly across the boards.  Her eyes dart about displeasedly, looking at the walls and roof about her, but then focus on the many wares.  In very little time her eyes pick out a few druidic items, and she places them at one side upon a mat she lays out on the floor.  Then she sets out several boxes of gathered goods, waving between them and the magical objects, lookng to the clerk. 

"El wmo'hao wlehownwmmr mrwmaowoao mreh mrl'mao, vehl mrwmehwoao.  O'lao mrwmaoor aot'ehownwm?"  the tones roll from her tongue and lips, alien but clearly language, as she indicates the goods, and watches the clerk expectantly.  After a few minutes of waiting for an answer she could understand among the clerk's odd barbaric tongue, the one most everyone spoke in this place... she sighs and picks up her goods, and pushes a bag of coins across the mat. 

Picking up the selected items, she stalks out into the world again.

 

[ooc:  Elyse Wisplure (my wemic) purchased 2 x gem of lesser restoration (wands and spelled gems), 2x vine ring (miscellaneous and sundry jewellery), 1x leaves of the great oak (gloves), for 2x 90 = 180, 2x 3500 = 7000, and 2500, respectively.  Looking back at previous transactions I saw when I bought multiple things I was always given a multi-item discount of 20%, so I deducted that and left 144, 5600 and 2000 gold, respectively, in the three locations.]

(Feel free to delete this one after reading)

Noticed in the shop today that the "Whips Slings Bullets & Crafted Magical Staves" and the "Uncommon Armor and Shields From Around The World" containers had no price lists, neither on the container or inside on a scroll.

Is Calomel still in business?  I note the last transaction posted was from 2014, and I found the doors locked last time I visited...

General Discussion / English Longbows were (are)
« on: September 15, 2016, 04:03:55 am »

English Longbows were (are) enormous, so yes they wouldn't be good for use on horseback.  However, as I understand it, the mongol's composite bows were made to give the same approximate power of an enormous wooden longbow, but in a much smaller package that they could use from horseback.  The wood layer of the bow was sandwiched between a layer of horn on the inside, that would resist the compression of the bow being drawn, and layers of sinew? tendon?  some kind of body fiber - that was stretched when the bow was pulled.

The above having been said, I would think it wasn't a problem at all for Wemics.  Using a (normal) longbow from horseback would be ungainly because of the size of the bow and the need to move it from one side of the horse to the other to shoot, and to deal with the obstacle of the horse's head and neck in front of you when shooting.   As far as using a bow is concerned, a Wemic would be just like a person, no obstacle to lift it over or shoot around, since it would be operated by the humanoid part of the body, which is at the front... not the same as a human sitting in the middle of a big horse body.

 

Now both of those above having been said... what I am wondering is where do we find weapons appropriately sized for wemics?  Large-sized shortbows, longbows, scimitars, etc?  A wemic is size large, and can wield a 'large' weapon in one hand.. so they should have larger versions of the weapons medium creatures would wield in two-hands, which they would wield in two-hands as well.

Trade and Market Hall / A note left in the receiving
« on: September 12, 2016, 06:29:15 am »

A note left in the receiving chest, with numerous piles of neatly tied herb bundles and nuts:

"Dropped off some of the materials your sign says you especially want right now, for credit to my account with the guild.  The inventory is as follows:

35 (one box) of hazelnuts  (35 x 70 = 2450)

15 aloe plants (15 x 28 = 420)

9 skullcap leaves (9 x 66 = 594)

6 witch hazel sprigs (6 x 66 = 396)

Total of 3860 True value for my account."

The note is signed with the signature of Jenna Gale, and a number of tiny footprints tracked out of a blot of ink at one corner.

(( Left in the first 2 chests, as the 1st could hold nothing beyond the hazelnuts. ))

(( additional query:  what are the prices of the pipeweeds, and the ring of vines? They weren't on their relevant scroll price-lists. ))

*A note from Jenna Gale*

Stopped by the store looking for bolts of simple elemental damage enchantment, fire or otherwise, but could not find any.

Purchasing 4 items:  
1 stardust of branderback
1 crafted wand of protection from alignment
1 gnomish lens
1 bracer called "Assistance"

Dropped off 14 purple mushrooms and 4 ginseng as barter, please take the rest from my account.  

I was not able to find prices for everything.. several different chests have no list or notation of prices.  (The bracer/glove chest has a list, but Assistance wasn't on it.)

Fixed Bugs / Re: Find Traps Effect does not match spell Description
« on: November 14, 2012, 02:20:49 am »
What you are talking about seems to match what I was seeing in game - the spell just giving bonuses to skills.  The description of the spell scrolls I had though said that it would make all traps in the area known to the caster - and disarm them.  Which it didn't do...

Development Journals and Discussion / Re: Fireside chats with Mrowr
« on: November 08, 2012, 08:17:43 pm »
"Are you going to tell me I stink again?"

The panther had looked up at her as she came striding back to the campsite, sniffing and scrunching his muzzle.  But at her question he turned his head non-chalantly and began to lick down his fur.  "No.  Why would I do that?"

She chuckled.  "Because I've been out killing those.. unliving things again, and I know you can tell.  Some of them burst all over everyone like rotten fruit when they're put back to rest.  Its disgusting."

Mrowr growled softly, nipping at a burr caught in his coat, then spat it out.  "I'm sure it is, because thats how you smell when you come back from those places."  He started licking one paw and running it over his face to wash it.  "But I'm too polite to mention something like that." He murred aloofly.

"Oh, since when?" she laughed and sat by the fire.  "First that short stumpy two-foot Kay-gin, then this other group's hunt... I wonder if this whole land is infested with those things?"

The panther stopped his grooming to listen, stretching out in the circle of warmth around the fire.  "So how did the hunt go?  How many did you kill?"

Elyse sighed and poked at the fire with a stick.

"What, none?"  He flicked his tail.

"One.. but even that wasn't on my own.  Someone else mostly-killed it first."  she sighed, then dropped the stick into the fire.  "The things were too strong.. if I'd been alone.  Well, alone I wouldn't have gone in there at all, but that is beside the point.  I would have been the prey, and easy prey at that, for those things.  Without the others I was with."

Mrowr rolled on his back, and stretched, batting his paws at her leg to try to cheer her up with a bit of kittenishness...  "Of course.. a pride is always stronger together than a lone hunter."

She smiled at his antics, and rubbed him under the chin a bit.  "Its not just that.  Every one of them fought like the most skilled Elders I've ever seen.. or better.  Their blades could cleave stone, and blazing auras surrounded us with a wave of their hands, and storms answered their calls.  I felt like I was just a cub again, compared with them.  I wonder if I could find someone to teach me to fight better, or other ways to help...  then I wouldn't feel useless in their company."

Mrowr purred a soft rumble from the petting, "I know where you can practice hunting.  There's a flock of birds just up that road there."

"Birds?"  She peered at him...

"Uh huh, big ones, several of them, right by the road."

Her suspicions were confirmed when Mrowr licked his chops.  "You just want dinner I think.  Why don't you catch one for yourself?"

The panther looked affrontedly to her.  "I couldn't do that...!  There's some cougars there, its their territory.  Not my place to hunt, that would be a grave insult to them."

She narrowed her eyes, "So you want ME to..."

The panther sat up with an eager gleam in his eyes, as his tail flicked with the thought of dinner.  "Hunting for myself would be a transgression you see... but if I'm just there to aid in my friend's hunt...."

She rolled her eyes.  "Come on...  Lazy panther."  She didn't look back, but could just imagine him grinning, or sticking his tongue at her.  Sometimes she regretted teaching him that expression...

Having just had Elyse Wisplure (my wemic druid) approved, I hoped to get this portrait set added to the pack, please?  Its one of Marie Rose's creations.  

Apparently the zip is too large to attach, so here is the link to it at NWVault:

They would roughly be the same prices as the wizardry rings. We just have to contract out to have them made, since they can only be made by sorcerers.


Okay.. but what are they?  Do they have the same effect as the wizard and other caster rings? (level requirements? etc)
