Helgi the berserker, a human. Huge, ugly as sin and pretty stupid from birth, and prone to uncontrollable fits of violence if he starts getting bored or uncomfortable. His family finally kicked him to the curb after one too many incidents.

You walk into the Adventurer's Guild, and Old McGuck's smile shrinks a bit as he sees your sheer form and... well, face.
"Ah, a Northerner, eh?' he says. "Well, you lot are great fighters, so you're more than welcome!" He regains his composure a bit, and moves to shake your hand. "If you're looking for work or Quests, there's the Billbord there"- he points to a board with some yellowed parchment bits stuck to it- "though I'm afraid it's mostly my to-do list at the moment. Not a lot of customers or employees, y'see. Anywho," as he moves to a bar, grabs two glasses and a bottle from under the counter and pours two beers, "have one on the house, as a celebration of the Guild's resurgence". He hands you a drink. "'Fraid I can't afford anything fancy, but that should change once your works bring in some coin and reputation to the Guild. I can also sell ya meals and such, maybe even got the odd axe or helmet lying around, though our actual general store's been closed for a while - wouldn't want you to slay dragons on an empty stomach now, would we?"

As for what you do, you can take a look at the Billboard for Quests (which can be anything from slaying demons to doing groceries), buy what goods are available at the Guild - not much, in its current state - or, if you come up with anything you'd like to do, ask if it's possible. I'll usually say yes, if I can work it into the thread reasonably well.

Generally, the only things you need to keep track of are your stats, Nourishment Level (basically how hungry you are), Titles and Bragging Rights you might earn (Titles give small bonuses, Bragging Rights are just flavour) and your inventory. There's nothing in your inventory at the moment, so don't worry about it yet.
Nourishment goes from Stuffed to Full, Normal, Hungry, Starving and then Dead. They're fairly self-explanatory. It drops one level in the morning, one at noon, and one in the evening - i.e. whenever you're supposed to have a meal.
Additionally, there's some Guild Stats, Guild Level and Renown, but we'll cover those when we get for them.
For now, I suggest you take a look at the Billboard, unless there's something else you'd like to do?
Oh, and welcome to the Quest!

Ted the human bard. He mostly just uses his social and musical skills to get lodgings and food. Some of his songs seem to have effects on the listeners, be it an emotion, lessened pain, drowsiness, or something along those lines

>>2172706
Helgi struggles to remember what he's supposed to say, and just settles on nodding and grunting his thanks as he takes the beer. He downs the contents in two gulps and does a loud and smelly beer belch without bothering to turn away from the Guildmaster. Finally he remembers, and thumps his chest, saying, "I Helgi."

He walks to where the man pointed and looks at the billboard. He leans in closer to the squigglies as if it will help him figure out what they mean, as he has seen others do sometimes.

>>2172735
Absolutely not. though I use the tools of their trade do not throw me in the lot with those degenerates, they've no class at all, Always daggers first no tact about them. No, I've come seeking the adventurers guild

"Helgi, eh? Good to have you!" Old McGuck moves to write some stuff down in an old and dusty tome. "All right, you're registered!"
Now I'm curious. Can Helgi read? If not, assume Old McGuck comes over to help you decipher the following:

>THE BILLBOARD

>Boards for Bed
The upstairs roof has collapsed. I'm fine down here, and most facilities are still up, but if we get any adventurers, they won't have a place to stay! I should get around to fixing the roof. But for that, I'm going to need wood.
>Requirements
Buy some wood, or get your own from the forest.
>Rewards
Unlocks Facility - Bedrooms
1 Renown
3 Guild XP

>Arming the Adventurers
With the Royal Decree being royal and decreed, I can expect a bunch of Adventurers soon. Knowing them, they'll want to buy weapons and armour. I've already signed a contract with John, the smith, but I still need to pick up his shipment.
>Requirements
Go to John, pay him, and pick up the shipments of weapons and armour.

>The Town that Cried Wolf
Apparently the next hamlet over's having some trouble with wolves eating their livestock. Once some Adventurers arrive, I could send one of them to investigate.
>Requirements
Go to Surtleby and put a stop to the wolf raids.
>Rewards
7 Renown

>Guild Level: 1

Guild Level affects the state of the building as well as the quality and quantity of available supplies. A higher Guild Level also allows for more ambitious construction projects.

>Guild XP: 0/10

Guild XP is gained by buying upgrades through investment or savings from purchases, or by completing certain quests.

>Renown Level: 1

Renown Level affects the number and strength of NPC adventurers, as well as the number and pay of quests.

>Renown 0/10

Renown is gained through quest completion, or player-organised events like a tournament or a witch hunt. Quests not centered around upgrading the Guild tend to yield more Renown.

>Available Facilties
Kitchen - Basic
>The kitchen consists of a glorified firepit. You can cook Very Simple meals here, and Old McGuck can sell Very Simple and Simple meals to you.
Bar - Basic
>A single barrel of what you'd hope was beer but turns out to be milk with two greasy mugs next to it, Old McGuck can sell you Milk here.

>>2172773
I'll wait to see what the others want to go on, Helgi is a pretty simple man, not a shot-caller.

Is slaying a dragon and sacrificing a maiden for the god of death not actually on the billboard? I was kind of hoping to sacrifice a maiden to the god of death

>>2172799
"Well, if your're not happy with what's offered on the Billboard, you can always ask around in town. There's always more work to be done!"
Also, most quests are designed for one, maybe two people, involving a couple checks. If you folks want to go out in a party, though, I can easily upscale things!

>>2172808
Alright, in the meantime Helgi will try out one simple quest.

>Boards for Bed
The upstairs roof has collapsed. I'm fine down here, and most facilities are still up, but if we get any adventurers, they won't have a place to stay! I should get around to fixing the roof. But for that, I'm going to need wood.

This can't be too hard.

>>2172844
As you rip off the note from the board and stuff it in your pockets, you see Old McGuck fighting back tears. "That's the first Quest anyone's accepted in seven decades," he says.
"Anyhow, are you gonna buy the wood, or chop it yourself? I've got the gold for the former and an axe for the latter."

>>2172853
Helgi remembers the last time he had to buy something, it didn't end well.

"Chop, give axe. Helgi not like counting coins."

>>2172859
McGucket smirks. "A man of action, then? Right-o, lemme grab you the axe from the shed. You can keep it when you're done; I won't need it no more." He leaves through a back door and returns a bit later with a rusty axe, handing it to you.
"Right, as ya know, just leave the gates, walk into the forest and hack away at whatever tree seems suitable. Watch out for the Forest Spiders, though; nasty creatures, those. That said, I'm sure you're tough enough to fend them off with that axe!"

>>2172861
Helgi takes the axe and heads for the nearest forest. He looks for an impressive tree and starts hacking away at it with the axe. It could be considered boring work to some but Helgi is at peace when he's occupied with a repetitive task.

Do I... roll or something?

>>2172861
When do Maximillion and I get to pick a quest?

>>2172888
The Billboard's not gonna change immediately, so you get to pick one of the Quests I just listed.

>>2172902
Just say which Quest you take and I'll take it off the Billboard!
>>2172904
Nice! 10 or lower is a critical success, so you just earned yourself a Title!

You walk into the forest with your axe, trying to find a particular tree to chop down. You wander around for hours, unable to find the perfect tree. Eventually, your anger gets the best of you and you begin hacking away at whatever tree is nearby in a red haze of anger. You when you come by, your arm muscles ache and around you is a sixty-foot sphere of empty land that once used to be dense forest. You're fairly sure you remember chopping down three trees with one swing.
>Title Earned: Tree-Hater
You've taken a particular dislike to trees, and are very adept at chopping them down - even the walking ones.
(Title Effect: -10 Bonus to all rolls involving felling trees. -5 Bonus to hit Treants and other tree Monsters.)
You gather up what wood you need and begin to lug it back to the Adventurer's Guild in several trips. Old McGuck is very pleased to see you dragging way more wood than is needed - "Look like I'm not gonna have to chop firewood for the winter!"

Oh, and I forgot!
>Add Item to Inventory: Rusty Axe
This axe is fairly sharp, despite the splotches of rust covering it. It should make a decent weapon in a pinch.
(Item Effects: allows you to chop down trees and grants a -5 Bonus to damaging wooden objects or hitting enemies in combat).

Note that a -X bonus means you substract X from your roll.

People see you drag the wood out of the woods and ask you what it's for. You mention the Adventurer's Guild, and some seem to remember it being a thing. When you've dropped off all the wood, Old McGuck chops it into rude planks and fixes the roof with it.

You take the note off the Billboard, and McGucket smiles. "Good to see we're gonna have some actual arms and armour for you lot in store soon. Here, this is the money I set aside to pay John. Whatever you manage to smooth-talk off the price is yours to keep." He tosses you a pouch of coins and gives you - some admittedly rather convoluted directions - to John's Smithy.

You take the note off the board. "Hm.. I'm not sure that's still a problem, given that it was posted, ohh, two, three months ago?" Old McGuck says. "Still, Surtlesby is renowned for bad luck, I'm sure they've got another job for you in case this one is no longer needed. Just go out through the Eastern Quarter Gate and stay on the main road, can't miss it".
Just as you're about to leave the Guildhall, Old McGuck shouts at you.
"Oh, wait! You shouldn't take such a long trip to possibly face wolves without a weapon! There's a chest next to the door, there should be something in it - you can have that."
You open the chest and find...

Old McGuck smiles and nods. "We've got room for my old soul, so another should fit just fine. Welcome!

Alright, I'll live it to freeform for now then. If we run into trouble with that, we can always wing some rules.

Old McGuck nods, looking pained. "Well, it wasn't Owlbears, but the Thieves' Guild is arguably worse. Yeah, fixing the sign up front would probably be a good start. We've got some wood left over from Helgi chopping down what's probably half the forest, if you need to remake it entirely".

You ask around a bit, finding some difficulty in getting the very busy townsfolk to stop what they're doing and help you. Eventually, you talk to a child playing in the street, who points you towards an alleyway.
"Down there, Mister," the kid says. "After that, go left until you reach the forge. Tell John Bobby said hi."
You follow the kid's instructions and end up at the forge, as you hoped. John is working the forge with his apprentice, apparently working on a new scythe blade. He lets his apprentice take over the bellows when he notices you enter, turning to you.
"Hello, sir, and welcome to John's Forge," he says. "How can I help you?"

Old McGuck shrugs. "Suit yourself," he says.
You are led to the well, in a tiny, unkempt courtyard. The stones of the well seem dry - logical, given that the well's dry - but it's a long way down. You sling yourself over the edge and begin your climb. It takes a while, but eventually you get down there. As expected, there's something blocking your path - a boulder! Something seems odd about it, though.

The boy stops working the bellows and rushes off, and John turns to you again. "Now, do you have the money? The contract's signed, so this should be cut and dry. The goods are on the wagon in front; McGuck's gonna bring it back, so don't worry about that.

You look into the chest, hoping for a sword or a dagger, but all you find is a wooden club.

You leave through the gate, on your way to the hamlet, but soon enough you're stopped by two armed men who've put a blockade on the road, and in a place with a very dense forest at that. One of them, very fat, wearing a bowler hat at an unflattering angle that hardly covers his baldness, stretches out a greasy hand. "Stop right there, buddy," he says. "This here is a toll zone. Pay up or get lost."

With McGuck's help, you take down the sign from its rusty hangings and slowly trace arcane patterns over it as you mutter your incantations. It seems your skill hasn't faded, as you easily repair the weathering and damages the wood has suffered. The graffiti, technically being a modification rather than damage, doesn't go away, though. While you're at it, you also fix up the rust on the sign's fixature.

(Also, y'all might wanna note what your equipment and titles do. I'll let everyone pick one piece of equipment that confers no more than a -5 bonus to one stat check, or a one-use item).

In the interest of fairness, I'll forgo the free equipment, since magic abilities aren't something that would typically fall under an Investigator Rogue's skillset even if they're the reason Joseph was disowned by his family and forced to become a Rogue in the first place and I'm basically only keeping them as a Chekhov's Gun to pull our asses out of the fire if ever we need one.

"Thanks for the help, old timer. Was that one of those spells you can't cast more than a couple times a day or one of those - what do you call them, uh - those cantrips? There's quite a few more spots in here that could do with a fixing, for sure."

Helgi does his best to match the immense power of the rock, muscles straining and bones popping. It almosts budges at some points. but you are ultimately unable to move the rock; it seems lodged in place. Your respect for the boulder's tenacity increases.
i don't know why, but R E S P E C T T H E B O U L D E R is hilarious to me. Take a Bragging Right for it - unlike Titles, there's are just fluff, you could compate them to Steam Achievements.
>Bragging Right Earned: Boulder Respecter

The shoving, pulling on and pushing against the boulder has exhausted you. You can't attempt to move it until you've taken a breather and replenished your energy.
>If you fail a check, you need to Rest Up by sleeping or drinking a drink and taking a break before you can try again. You can attempt other checks, though.

>>2173206
Whoops, oversight on my part. Well, since your new roll is so damn lucky you can have that one.

You move up into the attic, bearing the lone candle with you. Once you've opened the trapdoor and entered, you spend a solid ten minutes coughing the dust out of your lungs and wiping cobwebs from your eyes, but once your eyes adjust to the relative darkness, your keen mind translate the immense mess of stuff, junk and things you see before you into a wealth of information, useful goods and treasure! You dig around for a while, quickly finding a pot of paint and a brush, right next to a small pouch of coins!
You bring it down to the sign, where Withenwise the Wizard has already repaired the damage to the sign. You repaint the sign in your best calligraphy and hang it back up. It looks a bit out of place in the dirty alley, but it's sure to attract attention!

The thug looks doubtful. "I think he's tryna steal our spot, Ned," he says to the other guy. "Nah, Jed, I think he's right," he responds. "Walked there once, passed a merchant cart.

As this is a magical Bardic song, it's Charisma- rather than Dexterity-based. Either way, you pass!
You strum a little ditty on your lute, humming along. You feel the magic taking root, mellowing the atmosphere. Its effect is noticeable on John; he leans back in his chair and smiles. "Aye, he's a bit clumsy, but he's a good lad at heart. He'll be a fine smith one day. So, about that contract..."

>>2173287
Actually, bonus modifiers are a *minus* - they lower the outcome of the roll.
That said, if it makes more sense to you guys, I can change it to count as a bonus to your stats instead?

Still smiling happily, John nods. "Sure, sure. The orignal contract was... what, eight gold? I could drop it to seven gold, two silver, just above breakeven".

For anyone who isn't already familiar with roll-under RPG systems, it's probably easier to visualize as a positive bonus to the TN rather than a negative bonus to the roll.

>>2173314
What if you copied in the quest board as a separate tab in the doc, so people could also look directly at the doc for the list of available quests rather than be forced scroll through the thread and try to work out what's been taken if they join partway or have to leave for a while?

Wonderful, now that is a sign one could be proud of! Shame it is only in such a dirty alley... Back in the old days, the guild was a place of glory and hope. Might be just a step, but its one more step in the right direction. Just up to us all to keep on walking! Lets see what else we can do to fix the old place up eh?

nourishment seems to go down a bit fast, that would have us dying in less than 2 days from full nourishment, maybe add a disadvantage to skill checks on day 2 rather than outright death

Thanks, but... just between you and me, McGuck has been running really low on funds recently. Dangerously low, and I'm starting to get worried for him. I'll do three favors for you if you shave off some more off the price

>>2173284
Helgi climbs out and returns to the guild, defeated. Some things even his strength is not enough for, and in these cases he knows that better than one man is two men.

The giant man walks into the bar and notes the new faces. "Need help," he announces autistically, then sits down at the bar and looks for McGuck. "Need drink," he demands.

>>2173405
"Care to elaborate on that old chap? Help with what? Perhaps I could be of some assistance."

>>2173344
Smart plan, will do! And I'll change bonuses to pluses to the stat rolled for, then!

>>2173346
Hmm... that's fair. I'll say nourishment goes down by one for every day you don't eat three meals. Adventurers are tough stuff, after all, they can handle a bit of hunger.
I'll toss up the available Quests in the Doc so you can see what you can do!

>>2173359
You carry on to the town, the sun burning brightly in the sky, and eventually you reach the little hamlet. Oddly enough, no one's working in the fields..
As you get closer, you see more signs of abandonment; the livestock is loose in the fields, market stalls are knocked over, there's no one in the streets - well, street. Just what happened here?

Old McGucket looks up from polishing one of the glasses. "I've got some milk here, if you can pay - I'd give you one on the house, but the Guild's rather short on funds and we're almost out of milk. Otherwise, you could get some water from the well in the Dockside District?"

>>2173401

The roll under system makes more sense to me, I just made a typo. Also, gonna have to go for tonight. I take the third offer I just negotiated and I report back to McGuck

>>2173431
Guess not. I accept

>>2173426
"I Helgi." He thumps his chest. "Big rock. Down in well. Need to move it. Helgi... not strong enough." Helgi looks the old half elf up and down, not sure if this one can help.

>>2173432
That's fair, goodnight, it was fun to have you!
You take the offer and the goods, and decide to finish up on your bellows duty immediately afterwards - consider that favour fulfilled in downtime duty. Training the kid's a bit more fun, so we'll do that when you're back.

Old McGucket looks at the crates you bring him with glee, and begins refurbishing the Armaments Store in the Guild. Soon enough, you see a couple daggers, clubs and the odd short sword hanging from the wall, alongside some leather armour sets. It's nothing fancy, but it's functional.

No problem, thanks for playing.
You've got the gold for now, divy it up as you like. And Old McGucket smiles and tells you to take your pick of any one item in recognition of your hard work.

>>2173454
You poke around, trying to figure out what went down in Surtleby, but you've got no idea what caused everyone to disappear. Yo do verify there's nobody here, though.
>What do you do?

Still room for new players?

>>2173482
In the game, aye, though you'll need to build a new bedroom for yourself! It's only getting morning here too, so I'll be running for a while still! Welcome!
Also, I'm putting the Quests in the doc rn!

>>2173447
Don't count me out on that just because I can't do the lifting itself. I'm a wizard. Folks like us specialize in using magic to do things that our muscles alone can't! One can use buffing magic to make people stronger for example or use magic on the boulder itself to move or destroy it. Its a very versatile skill.

>>2173486
what is the magic system? should it be daily/cantrips or mana based? Mana based feels more reasonable if we are going on fail a check = cant do that check for a while, but magic might be an exception

Rolled 77, 70, 71, 87, 84, 78, 35 = 502 (7d100)

>>2173486

Nice, rolling for stats then.

I still need to read through and get caught up on what is going on also.

>>2173490
I'd say daily with a failed check meaning you can't cast that specific spell anymore, but that'd work poorly with freeform. Let's roll with mana-based and see if that works for now.

>>2173494
Baaaaaasically just home renovation and r e s p e c t i n g b o u l d e r s

>>2173490
Helgi considers all the wizard has to say, not quite understanding everything but he did say magic, and move or destroy.

"Hm ok. Good. We go down well and move boulder together. Helgi thirsty, boulder will not withhold water for long."

>>2173497
What can we do?

>>2173513
Normally, with assistance by another player on the same task, the person that rolls gets to add a quarter of that person's relevant stat as bonus to the roll, but since you need to rest up before you can try again, we'll count this as letting you roll again.

>>2173513
Hmm, the only question is how to get this old body down a well. I'm not quite as agile as I was back in the day. Is there an easy way down? Or Perhaps I can wait up top and just give you a boost of strength?

>>2173472
Look around the stalls/housesfor any weapons I'm more adept with (Dagger, shortsword) and see if there are any gold pieces around then I'll search the surrounding area of the fields where the livestock is roaming

>>2173523
Make a WIS check to search for goodies and then another WIS check for your investigation, in that order.

If Withenwise has a special spell he'd like to use, that might alter the roll requirements. If it's just a simple strength buff, just reroll.

>>2173536
You scour the area for any useful items or clues, but nothing turns up. Well, nothing... you come across a wolf's corpse, easy to find due to the smell of weeks of decomposition. It appears to have been killed with a pitchfork. Strange. Wolves usually don't get this close to populated areas, even to hunt livestock, unless they're starving.

>>2173557
Thanks! I ran something like this way back in 2014 too, it was a lot of fun, so I figured I'd give it another shot.

>>2173554
You kneel next to the wolf. It's difficult to tell exactly what happened, but judging by how deep the pitchfork is into the body, with a third of the shaft being inside of the beast, it seems like it forced itself down the pitchfork in order to savage whoever was stabbing it. That's strange; wolves are generally not this murderous.

I'm still here just working on a character still. I was going to go with a rogue but we already have one so deciding on wihch direction to go

You're a very experienced wizard, and you easily pick up on the slight differences in magical winds, so missing this torrent of chaotic energies is not difficult at all. Whereas normally the winds are under some semblance of order, they're now all jumbled together in a disorderly mixture, with the wind of fire being dominant. You recognize this as the work of Goblin shamans.

Unfortunately, as an urban-dwelling rogue, your knowledge of wolves and their natural behaviour is rather limited, and you fail to find out more.

Old McGuck listen to you talk about the disturbance in the winds and the lack of water from the well, and looks concerned. "Well, the City does get its water from the underground spring in the caves up north," he says. "If the Goblins have taken that, that might be trouble. Might be smart to investigate in force".

On the bright side, the trickle of water in the well has picked up into a stream. It's not much, but it's enough to get it semi-functioning again.

"Ah, another adventurer! Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild!" Old McGucket takes down your information in the dusty Registry and goes to grab you a key for your room, but he stops halfway there. "Oh dear. I'm afraid we're out of rooms at the moment". He hastily scribbles a note on some parchment and pins it on the Billboard. He turns to you and stands in thought for a bit.
"Ranger, eh? There was someone who said they needed a tracker. Apparently an entire village disappeared. You should talk to Maximillion about that".

After pinning that note on the wall, Old McGucket pins on a lot more. "More manpower means we can get more work done," he says. "I'll provide just that".
However, he would not be the only one today to post on the Billboard - not long after Montelio enters, a brusque, stout man in chainmail and a surcoat in the colours of the city stomps in, pins a note on the Billboard, and leaves. "Ah, Telgrin!" Old McGucket says. "Captain of the Watch in this here Eastern Quarter. Bit of a direct fellow, but he means well. Plus, a job from someone that's not me might mean coin!"

I don't suppose I could bother you too spare some food, could I my good man?

I accidentally pulled an all-nighter, it's 10AM here. I've got a birthday in the afternoon and might have to switch to my phone in a bit, but other than that, I'll be here for a while.

McGucket looks up and down at you. "Mh, I'm running low on food and money to buy food, but I suppose I can miss something. Hold up," he says as he goes into the kitchen. He comes back with a bread and some cheese. "Here ya go, eat up. I'm afraid that really will be the last charity the Guild can afford, though".

Oshurbanipal, an escaped slave and pit-fighter from the underground dwarven kingdoms. Characterized by his pale skin and scarred chin, making the growth of a beard impossible for this particulairly lucky dwarf. Such thing is seen as very dishonorable in dwarven culture, and as such Oshur has begun growing out his hair, braiding it into a long mohawk. He barely knows how to speak the local language, but still manages to get by.

Old McGucket looks at the new entrant with a warm smile. "Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild. You look like you've had a rough time, but we've got a some food and drink and - once someone gets around to building it - bed for someone who survived the stuff you seem to have. Work, too. Lots of it.

Also, we've got a google doc to keep track of your stuff:

"Search work, I do. Food later." The dwarf nods once to the old guildmaster, before throwing an unsure glance at the billboard. Walking over to it, he attempts to read the foreign scrawlings before scratching his head and simply picking a job at random, too proud to ask for the help of Old McGuck.

Correct!

You take the note from the Billboard, to the approval of McGucket. "We've got the manpower and the skills, now we just need to recognition and jobs'll start flowing in." You set course for the busiest area you can find, which ends up being Goldflower Square, a massive market. You jump on top of an empty cart, to the annoyance of the owner, but before he shoos you off, you begin an epic speech about the dangers of the Savage Invasion and the need to support the Adventurer's Guild. Your speech is worthy of a king, and the people will certainly remember it.

McGuck seems moved by your tale. "Well, son, we've got work, we've got drink, we've got food, and soon enough, we'll have some rooms too," he says. "Work's on the Billboard. Help yourself. Oh, and welcome to the Guild".

>>2173837

As you gingerly remove the note from the Billboard, McGuck looks on. "Taking on the Thieves' Guild for your first assignment? Bold move, but the payoff could be huge. Might wanna see if you can get some others to back you up, or maybe see if you can talk some reinforcements out of Telgrin. And welcome to the Guild."

>>2173854
McGucket looks up from the corner of the room he was sweeping. "Oh, right. Withenwise said something about Goblin magic being in the air, and apparently the well's been blocked further upstream. He and I are concerned that there's a bunch of Goblins setting up shop in near the source of the City's water."

McGucket, busy counting the inventory of the shop, looks up as you enter.
"Welcome to the Guild!" He exclaims. "I don't think we have any quests directly related to forbidden knowledge, but Ted here just asked about the potential Goblin Shamans up north. Additionally, there's quite a bit of mystery going on in the hamlet of Surtleby to the East - apparently the entire village's population disappeared. Something with wolves, apparently.

"Beavis wants to learn to fight, eh? Well, good luck with that," the old Guildmaster says as you leave.
Eventually, you find your way back. The moment Beavis spots you, he dashes outside and begins stammering how he's been looking forward to this and how he forged his own weapon together with John just for training. John looks on with a paternal smile. "Take care of him, will ya?" He says. You nod, and decide to start Beavis' training with:

"Gorr go SUB-JUICE-GATE goblin shaman now. Want come witness great arcane power of Gorr?"

>>2173931

Oshur will pause his work for a bit and take time to rest, heading back up into the Guild's main hall. He approaches the guildmaster, bearing unfortunate news. "One word, master. The stone under is verily strong. Too strong for one dwarf. More men be good. Or..."
His voice lowers to a whisper.
"Could use old dwarven mining technique. But... Need light fires on hard rock. Then douse with water. Weakens hard stone, but smoke will be problem."
"What is best, master?"

>>2173952
Anyway, Gorr is taking the Springing a Trap quest, and heading out north (wherever that might be) after he hears Ted's response.

>>2173957
"Uh, sure, buddy. I sort of have to do a job right now though. I'll be back soon though"

Okay folks, terribly sorry, but I've promised to run D&D for some friends now. If there's a moment in which we take a break I'll try to update, and I'll probably toss out an update once the session is over, but I can't promise much in the meantime.

While returning from the market, Joseph passes near the home of a friend he used to run with in the old days - a poisoner whose talents now regularly aid the city watch in solving murders (not to mention himself on a number of occasions). Recalling the
>Stellar Cellar
notice back in the guild, Joseph decides to make a detour to call on his old acquaintance. Giant rats may be tough to handle armed as poorly as the guild presently is, but concocting a poison strong enough to kill one should be barely any problem at all.

(The intention is to bypass any direct combat involved in this quest. I'm imagining a Luck check to see if the friend is home, and a Charisma check, probably with some kind of bonus, to acquire some rat poison - likely in exchange for a favor - but that's just a suggestion.)

Bio: A former cult assassin who had been trained to kill people even since she was extremly young and it don't help that her upbringing was extremly messed up so that she lack the common senses and sanity. When she went undercover as maid for one of the noble house she somehow find it very satisfying to taking as the role of maid. When the cult order her to return, the first thing she do is to return and kill everybody because she want a new life as maid.

Miranda happily smile while she making journey for the guild hall and hoping that she will find work as "maid". When she finally arrived she dust off her maid uniform and don't bother much with the blood stains on her clothes.

She turned to Lupa and gracefully bowed to her.
"Greeting! My name is Miranda and I'm a maid."

"I'm not quite sure I believe you, but on the other hand, I really don't care. Can you make me a cup of tea or something useful like that?"

>>2174102
Iren,too,looks at her with suspicion before turning to face Lupa.
"Pretty sure we don't have the ingredients for tea here."

>>2174113
groans as she slumps forward on the table.
"Gods damn it, why did the only Adventurer's guild left have to be dirt poor? I can't work in these conditions."

>>2174109

"Why yes I can make tea!" she said with cheerful expression until Iren point out about the ingredients for the tea.
"Hmm I should ask the guildmaster about it... But right now he seems to be real busy right now..." she said with thoughtful look.
She turned to Lupa's trunk and then she faced at her.
"Do you need help with your trunk?"

>>2174140
"Pfft, please, I can handle my trunk all by myse-" she says before breaking into a coughing fit.
"Well, maybe, but I don't think they have the space for me to set up my lab as it were, and I'd rather not have all my nice expensive equipment destroyed by a bunch of meatheads who wouldn't know a volumetric flask from an alembic"

>>2174135

Iren shrugs.
"I rejected the Thieves' Guild but I still finished my training with them."
He waves his fingers around as if to indicate that he's good with them.

"That doesn't seem very heroic"

>>2174162

She turned to Iren and say, "I self prefer either beating the victim to unconscious or killing them, that way it become much easier to steal. But I can see good reason just stealing them without using violence, less attention."
And then she give Iren an bright smile.

>>2174182
"That's why people hate us."
Iren shrugs once again,clearly indifferent.
>>2174183
Iren,obviously disturbed,leans back into his chair.
"Uh,yeah,hehe..."

At some point, Joseph finishes with his current task and returns to the guild hall.

>>2174162
"You've been 'round Thieves' Guild of late? What's happened to them? I remember they had some sense of dignity when men like ol' Silvertooth and Blackhand Bill were around, but now they're more or less out of control. Did some idiot madman get installed as Guildmaster recently?"

>>2174157
"Well, only idiots, the desperate and the suicidal would choose to become adventurers after all. Where was your lab before now?"

>>2174183
"Wh-wait, who are you? What is a maid doing here?"

>>2174162
"Well, at least someone is useful around here. You might as well, since it doesn't seem like we'll be getting anything normally any time soon."

>>2174183
"Ah, there it is. I was wondering when the other boot was going to drop."

"Near the edge of town, but then the wilderness reclaimed it, and I was lucky that I kept most of my equipment in my trunk when I'm not using it, because everything else was ruined."

Iren takes a couple moments to think before his eyes widen in realization.
"Oh yeaaaah,those guys."
"Yeah,they're still there."
Iren stops to reminisce some more.
"They were basically the only ones with any real morals there."
"That meant they couldn't do shit,but they were there."

Roger enters the old building looking around and examining the place. "Last time i checked adventuring guilds were a lot less...dusty."

"I'm not gonna do it for free though."

>>2174213

"Gods, if it's got that bad, they've really gotten out of hand. Don't those idiots realize the point of a Thieves' Guild is to make sure they steal just enough so the people they rob don't die from poverty and leave them with no one to steal with?

Iren leans back.

Iren leans back into his chair.

"When-Not if-We robbed a place dry and firmly ruined many innocent families' lives,we just stayed there for a while and sent people to check on places nearby."

"If it had a sufficient amount of money-A.K.A. any at all,we'd gather our shit and move there."

"It was a pretty horrible life to lead."

<MIRANDA'S FLASHBACK>

Lord Denvor II was running for his life in the dark wood. He life was very wonderful when Miranda become maid of his household to the point he requested nightly "night services". Everything goes hell when he turned to busty farm girl and got her pregnat. To protect his honour and diginity as nobleman he hired an assassin to kill the farm girl. But the problem was the assassin was Miranda herself!

He keep on running until the arrow hit his knee and fall down in pain. Miranda slowly approached him with ice cold stares and said, "It is shame that you betrayed me "Master", I don't like when you go for the farmer girl."
She bend down and stabbed his other knee with her dagger and he scream in more pain.
"For your punishment.... I will take your life. The funny thing is I actually suppose to kill your wife who have connection with the temples but I changed my mind..."
Lord Denvor look more horrifying when Miranda pulled out rusty meat cleaver.
"You was wonderful Master but too bad you were not good enough...!"
Lord Denvor II screaming in pain and horror as Miranda mercyless chopping him with the cleaver.

>>2174359
"It's a rough experience, having someone you know be murdered so brutally. Even if they're just an employer. Sometimes especially so," Joseph comments heavily, unable to see the expression on the maid's face.

>>2174347
Stepping forward, Joseph places a comforting hand on Miranda's shoulder. "All we can really do now is try to move on, and hope justice finds his killer, even if the law may not."

Wait. Was something off about her? Surely not. He must be jumping at shadows.

(Joseph is generally ridiculously perceptive, but given your Miranda's similarly high Charisma, it's plausible that he continues to remain ignorant about her facade. Do you have any preference about how we roleplay this?)

"And thanks for the compliment."

"Anyway,i'll go do it later."

"And boy,do they take favors seriously."

Iren's cheeks go red.

"Uh...'Contact' a girl pretty high up in the chain of command."

Iren akwardly looks around.

"So...If we need any help from those guys,I can get us hooked up."

"We should have more people like you."

We could make rolls, me Cha for bluffing while Wis for spotting the bluff? Then we compare the result?

Rolled 52 + 6 (1d100 + 6)

>>2174450
"We're liable to need all the help we can get if we're going to knock some sense into their leadership. I've got some old friends of my own that I'll probably call on if they're still around, and I wouldn't put it past McGuck to know a few people either."

>>2174463
(Sure. I just asked since I haven't a problem with roleplaying it either way if you have a preference. You rolled pretty high to begin with, so shall we go for roll over to keep it interesting, with a +6 on my side for my 97 Wis to your 91 Cha?)

>>2174524

I got 18 while you got 51 so you win your check, your character clearly notice that she is lying.

"So what is your name sir?" she asked to McCarter.

>>2174463
>>2174524
>>2174545
(I'm confused. I was going for roll over with your 1d100 against my 1d100+6, though? Which would mean your 73 won over my 58. How'd you figure 18 to 51?)

"I guess I've just got a thing for helping people in need," Joseph sighs, "wishing someone'd lent me a hand way back when. Name's McCarter, by the way. Joseph McCarter. And you?"

"McGuck likely won't turn you away if you're willing to help clean up the place, but I don't know that we'll have much use for a maid once we've gotten all this set up proper and start getting into more dangerous work. I expect you'll want to start looking for a new employer before long."

Rolled 89, 94, 82, 75, 71, 52, 42 = 505 (7d100)

>>2174558
(it's a roll under system.)

>>2174571
(Yeah, but given that we don't yet have a standardized method for contested rolls, I figured I'd do a roll-over to give Miranda a sporting shot. Though thinking about it, I suppose comparing degrees of success is probably the way we'd go about it.

Well, I can still work with my post either way, as long as Miranda's player is fine with her failing the bluff.)

>>2174558
(It is a roll under system, Your Wis 97 + 6 - 52 = 51, mine 91 - 73 = 18. I'm completly fine with her failing the bluff, because it will become even more interesting)

"I had introduce myself before but I can say my full name. My full name is Miranda Edgengard. Pleasure to meet you Joseph McCarter. You don't need to worry about me because I'm a maid with many talents thank to special training in my upbringing."

>>2174620
(Fair enough, if you're alright with it.)

"A pleasure to meet you, Miss Edgengard," Joseph says over a firm handshake.

"Your 'upbringing'? You were trained since you were young, then? What sort of things do they teach maids like yourself?"

>>2174654

"Well... I learned how to handle with knives..."

<MIRANDA'S FLASHBACK>
The young Miranda looked at her old teacher who playing around his knife.
"Remember Miranda... the knife may not be impressive weapon but in right hand it can become deadly weapon! Now... kill that orc in the pit!".
Her master pointed at the huge orc with battleaxe in the pit and she without hesitant leap down in the pit and stabbed the orc's throat in instant.
<END MIRANDA'S FLASHBACK>

"I know bit about herbalism and fungus, and I have some connection with the seller..."

<MIRANDA'S FLASHBACK>
An old man drinking his beer and then he violently spite blood while falling to the floor. The teenage old Miranda looked at the corpse while she carry the bag of extreme poisoned fungus that she got from the shady dealer.
<END MIRANDA'S FLASHBACK>

"And I know some art of entertainment..."

<MIRANDA'S FLASHBACK>
Miranda standing in front of the bed while the cocky young merchant relaxing on the bed. She slowly strip down to her clothes so that she only wearing her lingeries....
<END MIRANDA'S FLASHBACK>

"My teacher is... not very famous man but he was a very strict and demanding teacher who came from far east..."

<MIRANDA'S FLASHBACK>
The young Miranda is standing in front of white haired old man with impressive size and muscles.
"My name is Onikasai and your cult hired me to become your teacher until I finish your training. Your training is gonna be hard and brutal. Are you ready for your first test?"
"Yes!" Miranda answered with confidence.
"Good...! Now I want you to choke this puppy to death." He said and handing her a cute puppy that is just two week olds.
"But... I can't..."
"Your cult and me don't need any kind of mercy or kindness!!! Do it!!! Or else I will torture the puppy in front of you!!!"
The young Miranda almost crying and then she looking at the puppy in her arms. She don't like it but she had no choice....
<END MIRANDA'S FLASHBACK>

She shake her head as she remember her unpleasant past.

"Ugh... When are one of you losers going to go out and make us some money?"

Talleth, Human Knight
Born with a pure streak of bad luck that left her struck by lightning twice before she was 16, but with a silver spoon in her mouth. She was never that strong, or smart or clever, and was slow on her feet and tended to fumble small objects, but she was just plain likable and tougher than a brick of iron.

She picked up a suit of armor and a sword and set out to use that toughness to help people and make a future as an adventurer. With a lazy gait and a bit of a dopey smile, she wanders into the guild.

“Morning, all! This is the Adventurer’s Guild, right? I hope we all get along!” That poor, dumb Knight. Let’s see how long she lasts.

"No, I suppose he wouldn't be very well known, would he? The best servants and maids are famed for their inconspicuousness and discretion, after all. Do you ever wonder how he's doing, or think about going back to the - school? - where you were raised to look him up?"

>>2174830
"I'm waiting for the old man to come back and confirm my mission."

>>2174830
Im just taking a look at the place and waiting till the owner comes back

>>2174724
Hey OP how does magic work?

"bit rude. I owe a guy a favor, then I can go."

"Hello, who are you?"

>>2174901
Talleth grabs Ted's hand and shakes it vigorously. "I'm Talleth, Talleth Lorrick, of the Brotherhood of the White Bear! It's very nice to meet you!" Brilliant smile!

>>2174932
>Ted takes a step back clutching his injured hand
"Nice to meet you too. I'm Ted"

>>2174875

"Well... I fulled complete with his training... and he can no longer offer me anymore training...

<MIRANDA'S FLASHBACK>
Miranda teacher Onikasai is sitting on the floor with closed eyes until he spoke, "Miranda you are my best student that I even had... I'm gonna give you a last training...."
"Are you gonna finally teach me the eastern art of nightly pleasure?" she asked him with bright look.
He finally snapped and burst out, "WHAT!!! Damn it women!!! The fucking cult is run by bunch of perverts!!! No!!! I'm gonna teach you the best thing in the world!!!"
"And what is the best thing in the world?" she asked him with confused look.
He pulled out bunch of cards from his sleeves.
"A card game that call Ma-Gi-Oh!!! You collect cards and build them into a deck. And then you play with another player with their own deck!"
"But... is that suppose to be part of my training...?"
"Actually no... To tell you truth I have no more training to offer you but at least I can offer you some pleasure of the card games."
"After this "training" are you gonna finally leave teacher?"
"Yes... after completed your training I will go on a journey. But... the world is small, we can one day meet again, either as friend or foe..."

<END MIRANDA'S FLASHBACK>

"But I believed that we will one day meeting again..." she said with warm smile.

>>2174953
"Hi Ted!" Talleth bounces over to the board and begins inspecting it.

>Stellar Cellar
"Yesss, giant rats as your first job are like, tradition! Who wants to join me?" Talleth looks excited as all hell!

>>2174962
"Am I the only one freaked out by her long bouts of silence as she stares into empty space?"

>>2174970
"Don't worry about it it's fine."

>Ted glances at the time and decides to finally head out
>Ted arrives and decides to do some parkour with Beavis
"The most important thing to being a good adventurer is being quick and nimble. People might say it's strength or smarts, but you don't need that. All that's really necessary is being fast and a good melody."
