[OOC] A Stranger Land

[momothefiddler]

I'm guessing no-one in this town is particularly affluent. Is anyone unusually destitute? Beggars, for instance, or anyone else without a roof and regular food?

[Stix4armz]

I think I would like Artemis to spend his time making arrows, which skills would you have me roll to gather supplies?

I just didn't think it was particularly fair, although now that I just wrote all this out I hate myself for whining about loot division.

I withdraw my complaint.

Also of note, Artemis and Rorick would want a bigger share of the loot, I would note that Artemis also got the two extra shillings. One to Artemis, and one to Rorick and then you are only short 3 pennies, between the two of you. (Also if you really wanted the pennies Martel would probably part with three.)

[Ulthar88]

okay... did you split the extra between Rorik & Artemis then? That would give Rorik 2.19 and Artemis 2.06 -- correct??

(And as to Rorik's total, I looked up the posts involving your cash and it seems you had 14 cents left over from your debauchery :) )

And as for the currency, it's not too complex:
100 copper pennies to a silver shilling; 100 shillings in a gold Guilder.
(You've yet to even see a guilder, by the way; that's a LOT of money.)

When you get the feel of the town, it's apparent that this is no longer a "town" but more like a rural village based on subsistence farming. At one time it certainly was a town, but now it is little more than an army garrison with a small community attached. The gap between rich and poor here is hardly noticeable.

There is plenty that can be made of salvaged materials in & around the town; the only thing that is really difficult to come by is the fletching itself. For this, we'll call it a stealth roll. As in, getting a good shot at the occasional bird visiting the riverside and being able to get away with it before a croc grabs it (or you).

[Skullcrusher]

So I would have 2.19 + the .14 leftover from my romp with the ho's?

2.33 altogether?

I just gave the extra to Artemis as party funds. He can split them if he wants though.

The 2.19 was including the 14 pennies left over... but now it seems you haven't (yet) gotten the extra shilling, so that would be 1.19... I think... no fair being confusing!! That's the GM's job :P

[Ulthar88]

For future reference and clarity, please let me know how many players you all would like to cap this group at (if any).

We have four now... should I accept proposals for a fifth? a sixth? -- or keep it at 4?

As usual, I will allow you the players to okay any additions to the "table".

[Skullcrusher]

I have no qualms with adding more. Although I'd limit it to 6 players.

[Stix4armz]

I'm with Skullcrusher up to six players is fine with me, but I definitely don't want more than that.
