So the greedy bastard was trying to charge you about four times what he’d actually need, sounds about right.

You try a legal argument “is this deal something that could be taken to court and if so in what way would that likely play out? I mean: would there be an order to stop building new homes? What type of court would hear the case? What is the druid land, legally speaking?”

“I’m no lawyer” says Sir Sarum “though some of my skeletons were. I believe it would fall under private contract law, with the agreement made between the mayor and the druids, with the mayor, as representative of the town, being responsible for holding Mr Aldersly to the deal, which he is clearly not doing. As the Mayor is involved in the case, he cannot hear the case personally, no it would go to the nearby lord, Baron Haplendale I believe.”

“How do you think he’d rule?” you ask

“In whatever way gets him out of the courtroom quickest and back to his favourite pursuits of drinking, hunting and whoring” says Sir Sarum, with obvious contempt “The young Baron is burning through his estate funds rather quickly though, he might be amenable to a bribe...but he has little love for druids – they’ve interrupted the slaughterfests he calls *hunts* before.”

“Oh, lovely” you say gloomily.

“Still” says the Headmaster “It was Taynathil you met.”

“Oh yes” you say, you’ll not easily forget that arrogant bitch...

“Pride is her weakness” says Sir Sarum “challenge her to a contest in an area she thinks she is superior to you in, and beat her, putting as wager her service as a teacher.”

“What am I supposed to beat her at, archery?” you snark

“Perhaps the girls can help you there” he suggests. Well, maybe...

“Anyway” he says “the girls will have finished their dinner, and you have training to attend to.”

Apologies about not sticking around for questions last thread.

Yes, there will be bonus XP for art

Exp award for PDF character sheets: You gain 3XP for the MC, and 15 for the club pool. You’ll continue to gain 1 and 5 PER THREAD as long as they keep up to date.

Hopefully I’ve answered the legal questions in OP.

XP can be spent at any time, but training sessions are a suitable time to spend it, yes.

Today’s thread will be a little short – about 6 hours. Tonight my monk is due to save the day on roll20 again.

I expect to be around to answer questions.

Honestly I'd rather get full ranks in teaching as soon as possible, since I don't imagine we will need much improved combat ability anytime soon.

>>40878739

>>40878816
Yes. Teaching, being a niche skill, only costs 1 XP per rank.

In which case we should just get all 5 Ranks.

How exactly does the "Trainer" system work.
What are the restrictions on not having a trainer of a certain class? Can we only teach skills that fall under class abilities for a trainer we have?

>>40878855
Go for it.

>>40878902
>What are the restrictions on not having a trainer of a certain class?

The girls can only train towards a specific class when working with a trainer for that class. So if they spend XP on strength, and are working with a Fighter (or Barbarian) trainer, they can use that towards the 20 needed to qualify for that class.

If not working with a trainer, they spend the XP and gain the strength, but do not count it towards qualifying for the class, and thus cannot access the special abilities of that class.

>Can we only teach skills that fall under class abilities for a trainer we have?

No, you're at a school; the regular teachers could teach skills, but unless working with a trainer, it does not count towards gaining a class.

XP spent on teaching skill

“You’re right Headmaster” you say, rising from your seat “thank you for your time”

“Any time my boy” he says “any time”
---
You round up the girls, and Groundskeeper Answick, and head out to the clubhouse.

As the girls file in, they look around with interest at the training dummies, wooden weapons on their racks, the array of peculiar metal objects that are probably thieves tools, the ropes piled up and the second-hand alchemy sets and spellbooks.

“Alright” you say “you’re probably wondering why I’ve gathered you here-”

“Ohh, oh I know!” says Chame “seven young nubile school girls, two old guys, late at night, far away from anywhere, with weird creepy ritual stuff, restraint and sharp objects, this is a religious studies lesson.”

The girls variously roll their eyes, snort and/or giggle, you wait until they calm down and then say “no” in the best deadpan tone you can manage.

“The Headmaster asked me to run the Adventuring Club and I agreed” you say “I was there when it all started, but apparently its gone from a handful of enthusiasts to an international competition now, and next year, a Junior Championship. The purpose of this club is to learn how to be adventurers, including dungeoncrawling, though I understand there will be some open-air fights as well.”

“Now, back yonder in the distant past” you say, picking up a wooden weapon “we used shield spells and had potions of healing on hand, these days there are other safety features – you’ll find out more when you go through your first dungeon – two days from now.”

That’s got their attention: you see expressions of shock, some fear, and from others, anticipation.

And how will you finish your introduction?

Gonna try posting it at the start of new threads from now on, depending on how exactly XP spending for the girls works.

Replaced "Unspent XP" with "Unspent TP", in case someone wonders, because the girls don't have individual unspent XP anyway.

“We’re training for a competition here” you say “but remember, having fun is the most important part, this is a game, not a war. You’re here to pick up some skills and knowledge that will stand you in good stead for the rest of your lives because this is your first step on the past of really living up to your fullest potential.”

You pause to see how well you’re doing. So far they’re paying attention, and smiling tolerantly, like they’ve heard this sort of speech before.

Phaysis raises a hand

“Yes, Phaysis” you say.

“Don’t you think we can win sir?” she asks breathlessly, her eyes wide, and her lower lip stuck out and trembling, her hands clasped under her chin. Standing next to her Nevyn stifles a giggle.

“Of course you can win girls!” you say triumphantly “you’re going to be the champions!”

The girls give a cheer, which dies down as you say “so, dungeoncrawling is going to involve a lot of physical activity, warm up exercises come first, yes even for the wizards” you say as Cleya raises a hand “being able to duck and run is an important skill. So, go and grab your gym clothes, and be back here in ten minutes.”

The girls all scramble out of the door. Once they’re gone, Groundskeeper Answick asks “So, which girls are gonna be doing what sir?”

That’s a good thought, what are you going to be training each of the seven girls for?

>I’ll pick the girls classes (options in next post)
>I’ll tell them about the classes, and they choose
>Nothing class-specific, today we work on basics (particular skill, feat etc?)
>Other (what?)

Default is training towards a specific class, but you can train for specific skills, feats etc as well.

No XP choices in this vote – that will come up in a later option.

Seconding

>>40879245
>Rangers can Melee
Yes, but she specifically said she wanted to do archery. Nothing says she can't do both, but I found it should be mentioned and taken into account.

>>40879245
>Need a Rogue Type; Multiclassing?
Definitly, Rogue has lots of useful skills and she can be overshadowed as tank when a few other girls might join
Although Chame might be a good rogue type too

>>40879260
I fully expect Arcane Trickster level nonsense out of Chame.

>>40879260
>Although Chame might be a good rogue type too
Chame would be a fantastic Rogue, especially with ranged combat.
Just stick her to a ceiling and rain arrows on the enemy.

>>40879221
>Nothing class-specific, today we work on basics (particular skill, feat etc?)
Get them to train with weapons before doing in a dungeon

Ok, talking about classes, and all-round training it is, writing.

Meta: This won't gain the girls training points, but it will allow then to spend XP on anything, due to the eclectic nature of the training.

Spend some club XP now?

>>40879174
>Chame
Probably best suited for Rogue, her natural talents and demeanor blend well with it.

>Nevyn
Monk might be better for her than Fighter, especially if it boosts her Beast Form's natural attack damage, since that combined with Deadly Strike could get absurd.

>Phaysis
Ranger is probably a better damage dealing frontliner than Fighter, due to how many powers they get specifically for fighting multiple foes in melee. It's also better for ranged combat. Fighter is pretty support-oriented.

>>40879295
>Y
Some are already obvious choices, and we got Answick and us to let them put some XP towards a few classes for those it concerns.

>>40879307
>Fighter is pretty support-oriented.
True, looking it over again it really doesn't work for that.

It reminds me that we also need to figure out who will lead the team.

>>40879323
Let's put the tentacle girl in charge.

>>40879335
She is the one with the highest Fellowship.
But I'm not sure if her attitude wouldn't get in the way.
Anlanesa has as much of a Fellowship score, and she has it as Primary attribute.

“Rather than training them in specific skills” you say to Answick “I think it’s best if we gve them a chance to try everything, or as much as we can demonstrate right now. It’ll give them something to think about; then hopefully they can pick their own classes.”

“Right you are sir” says Answick, and then gives you a sly look “You any good with that staff?”

“Well that depends” you say “Are you any good with a sword?”
---
The girls, all changed into their gym clothes, or in Anlanesa’s case, swimwear, all come barrelling in to the room.

They pull up short at the sight of you and Groundskeeper Answick in padded gear, and holding wooden weapons.

“Alright girls” you say “after ten laps around the clubhouse as a warm up, we’re going to talk you through the different classes and what they are good at, firstly, the more combat-oriented classes. Groundkeeper, when you’re ready.”

Wheezing a bit after that demonstration you say “ok, there are several classes that mix spellcasting with other abilities, first up, the Bard...”
---
After the giggling has died down you say “yes, very perceptive Chame, now if you’d please give Cleya her t-shirt and ah, under-shirt garment back, thank you.”

Cleya is naked from the waist up, her arms and hands covering her essentials, and glaring at Chame. Chame is holding Cleyas gym shirt and bra “Special bard dis-armouring technique” she says with a grin.

“So yes, um, some bards might be good at negating at opponents armour by uh, removing, the skill I don’t think is a common one, moving on.”
---
“Now we get to the best classes of all” you say with more enthusiasm “mages, such as wizards, sorcerers, and yes I suppose druids and priests also technically qualify. Now magic is a very powerful and versatile tool but it takes time, focus and talent to master.”

After you’ve discussed each class (and demonstrated what you can) you say “ok girls, now you’re each going to spend a few minutes trying the techniques we can teach you, and then you can pick which ones you want to learn today, afterwards we’ll talk about which classes you want to start training in. Any questions? No, good, let’s get started.”

>Spend XP on specific stuff (what?)

Discuss as long as you want as I write the next update. If there is consensus, we’ll go with that, otherwise I’ll call a vote.

Note: XP spent today can count towards a specific class at player choice, but the girls gain no training points from this session.

>>40879492
Can we only spend XP at skills and such right now, or already on some of the girls racial abilities?

>>40879504
On anything you want.

Evrumine, 11/70 XP spent, 59 remaining
>Constitution +2 (14), -2 XP
>Hit Points +5 (10), -5 XP
>Melee Training +1 (1), -4 XP
>Evrumine has become a Barbarian!

Nevyn, 10/59 XP spent, 49 remaining
>Hit Points +4 (8), -4 XP
>Beast Form, -6 XP

I have a reason for those HP. Beast Form costs 4 AE to enter, and since Nevyn currently has no AE, she has to spend HP. 4 - 4 = 0, meaning she'd have to make a con check to stay awake every time she uses the power without additional HP.

These are the only two I'm somewhat certain on.

For Anlensa, probably just going to be some weapon skills and HP boosting, maybe a point or two of Willpower towards Sorcerer. Downside, she has it as a tertiary, upside the increased cost makes Sorcerer something that might actually be within her grasp.

For Cleya, leaning towards nothing but Growing Powers, because eyestalks so OP.

Some spell-likes, HP boosts and removing the tentacle penalty (2 XP) for Calluna, maybe a weaponskill (Rapier if melee since those use Agility instead of Strength, and her Strength is pretty bad right now).

Phaysis would be +1 to Agi and Con, HP boost and ranged or melee weaponskills.

>>40879532
Calluna needs to get Cure Light Wounds, in any case. She is the only healing skill we currently have access to.
She should, IMO, go ranged and take 4 agility to get rid of her penalty with tentacles.
Our frontline is already fairly crowded.

>>40879532
>For Cleya, leaning towards nothing but Growing Powers, because eyestalks so OP.
Absolutely

>>40879532
Get Anlanesa 2 points of Willpower so she gets out of the penalty for her Innate Magic, and purchase Cone of Cold so she can get a AE pool. Otherwise buy her First Rank of Ice Giant and a melee skill.

>>40879532
Let's get a weapon expertise for all of them.

>>40879561
Nevyn's Beast Form bonus is roughly equivalent to a weapon expertise (effective +2 due to stat bonuses), but also comes with a bunch of natural attacks, bonus HP and increases to stats instead of just ToHit.

She's the only one that isn't planned to get an actual weaponskill.

>>40879560
CLW was on the list to get.
Calluna doesn't have Limbs Unrivalled, so multiple weapons held in tentacles might impart a penalty.

I actually forgot that getting an IMP would give her an AE pool.

>>40879561
What will we get for Chame? I don't think Lewd counts as a weapon.

>>40879617
Crossbow, probably.

>>40879627
Add axe expertise to Evrumine and Crossbow or Dagger expersite for Nevyn.
>>40879617
Chame can abuse her shapeshifting for perfect sneak attacks, sticking to someone's back and then stabbing them to death. So another melee weapon expertise for her, but her versatility could use a ranged expertise as well.

>>40879627
Cone of Cold doesn't actually create ice, it just creates an area of extreme cold. No water is gained or lost.

>>40879662
No expertise for Nevyn, she wouldn't even be using them at this point, other than maybe Unarmed, since she'll be spending every encounter as a tentacle panther.

Chame gets no bonus damage from sneak attacks without also getting the sneak attack skill.

>>40879690
Then add Sneak Attack to Chame. How much XP is needed for that?

>>40879700
2 for each rank, total of five ranks.

There are still three girls that need skills, you know, and 26 XP is already cutting it close. We don't need to realize every plan for the girls right now.

We have time until their first test/practice/whatever. Two days at least.
>>40879717
Phaysis doesn't have favored stats. Go nuts.

Guys, let's make Chame a Bard, not a Rogue. She's already mastered one of their skills.

>>40879708
>There are still three girls that need skills
Issue with Cleya is, we already know what she wants to put Xp towards, its just that the only useful investment right now in that direction is Willpower, which doesn't do much on its own, and we don't have enough XP left to bring her into class range.

>>40879725
>Phaysis doesn't have favored stats. Go nuts.
Pally said last time I sked he just hasn't decided yet.

>>40879726
She doesn't really work for the actual bard class abilities. She doesn't need to have the class to act like one.

>>40879509
Do we have something like Composite Bows here that would allow Phaysis to add some of her Strength modifier to ranged attacks?

>>40879726
We can't train towards Bard, and you can take multiple classes.

>>40879717
+4 Agility would be 4 XP for Calluna.

>>40879729
Growing Powers. She can get any spell up to third level then cast it at zero cost as a free action once per round.

>>40879768
>+4 Agility would be 4 XP for Calluna.
>Raising a stat by 1 costs 1 XP, to a maximum stat of 12.
>Primary Stats cost 1XP less per point purchased
Calluna Agility is 10 right now.

Its very silly, but thats how its RAW so I went with that.

>>40879768
>Growing Powers.
Doesn't go into Wizard class, which we want to get for her sooner or later.

>>40879753
>Do we have something like Composite Bows here that would allow Phaysis to add some of her Strength modifier to ranged attacks

All bows add strength modifier to damage

>>40879803
Could we get a clarification on this problem
>>40879788

>>40879788
You still need to actually pay for each point, anon. The difference between 10 and 14 is 4, not 2. The cost can never go below 1.

Yes, later, because we can't even begin to afford it now and this is about optimization on a budget.

>>40879810
>The cost can never go below 1.
It doesn't actually say that anywhere, but you are probably right.

>>40879816
>>The cost can never go below 1.
>It doesn't actually say that anywhere, but you are probably right.

He is, and I'll update the rules.

Thanks for catching error anons.

What Melee weapon should Phaysis have? We should make sure we have the full range of slashing/piercing/bashing, so should she get mace or spear?

>>40879828
Aren't you being a little too liberal with XP awards?

>>40879854
Something to take advantage of her centaur form, so spear/lance, or something similarly long. Maybe unarmed, if it affects her Hoof attacks? We could also just take Melee Expertise, the broad one.

>>40879855
>>40879828

I have to agree with him, we will peak out very fast with these girls if we continue to get XP at this rate.
While that sort of thing is nice, a balanced game is nicer.

I wanted to say the same thing about the .pdf update. One time XP is nice but +5 every thread is a lot, even with this many girls.
And I'm saying that as the guy who makes it

Not sure if she can actually get non-Arcane magic, but if there was any mention of not being able to do so, I missed it, and we'll need someone to have Create Water or a similar ice/water creation ability if we're going to be able to use Ice Giant semi-reliably.

>>40879854
Spear, if anything, since she can turn into a cavalry unit pretty much at will.

Not mutually exclusive with my recommendations due to the bonus XP.

We can't actually choose her spells for Growing Powers. We can only suggest a theme.

Apologies for the delay in posting, on phone

>>40879893
Looks good to me.

>>40879908
My themes are Disintegrate and Create Water.

>>40879893
I'm not sure if Innate Magic abilities can be counted towards Sorcerer/Wizard class.

I also would prefer to gear Calluna towards Wizard, to make use of the specilisation rules we would benefit from having several wizards, and she doesn't really get anything from Sorcerer class in particular.

>>40879855
>>40879882
Fair point, I'll slow it down some from here, though existing awards remain.

FUCK YEAH! ESQ!

>>40879931

She can be both.

>>40879931

Sure, though I'm reconsidering my "themes" for Growing Powers since I just remembered that Anlesca could get Wall of Ice, which involves the creation of a fairly large amount of Ice. They probably weren't valid anyway.

>>40879893
>and we'll need someone to have Create Water
Well, we do know that girl that can learn Priest spells without needing the class...

>>40880008
Can't we just have give Cleya the theme "Ice" for her growing power?
If she learns Ice Wall, she can just use her Flame Spray to melt it.

>>40880011
There are two of those, though we haven't met the other one yet.

>>40880018
She wouldn't need to melt it. Anlanesa can use a large volume of water *or* ice for Ice Giant.

I also don't see much of a point in specifically going for it with Cleya now that we can get Anlanesa a suitable power immediately, without playing the lottery, using the bonus XP.

>>40880036
So we revise Cleya into just getting Growing Powers Rank3/2 each, Pallys choice.
And Anlanesa gets
>Wall of Ice (2XP sorcerer)

Evrumine has clearly enjoyed herself, and is a natural barbarian.

Nevyn has discovered a new talent: part way through weapons training she got a little angry at her inability to lay a solid blow on Groundskeeper Answick and transformed into a Displacer Beast! You quickly trapped her in a resilient sphere until it became clear that she retained her intelligence and reason when transformed. Still it tired her out and she needed to rest after turning back.

Unsurprisingly, Chame is taking to the sneaking lessons like a natural, and she is a pretty good shot with a crossbow too.

Anlanesa mastered a cone of cold energy when attempting to use magic, it remains to be seen how else her powers will develop.

Phaysis is working hard at getting good with a longbow.

Calluna gave you all a shock when she her own powers manifested as the ability to step between spaces and heal injuries – such as Evrumine hitting Phaysis too hard with a wooden axe.

Cleya discovered two new eyestalks she can manifest, after studying magic with you. It’s best to find out what they do later, somewhere safer, you’ve no idea what sort of powers she can learn.

After a long training session the girls all sit down on the chairs in the corner of the clubhouse. Evrumine and Phaysis are sweating from their physical exertions and Evrumine is giggling, whilst Phaysis scowls.

“That’s never happened before!” she insists.

“What happened?” you ask.

“Phaysis put on a helmet” says Evrumine, almost falling out of her chair as she giggles “And when she turned into a centaur she had a bridle on her! She’s a real riding horse now!”

Phaysis glares at Evrumine “oh shut up you cow.”

Evrumine goes from giggling to angry within seconds. Before she can escalate things you intervene “Both of you take a moment and calm down, Evrumine, Phaysis didn’t know she was going to do that, and it was no doubt embarrassing for her. Phaysis, that’s not a nice way to speak to Evrumine.”

The two eye each other suspiciously, and then mumble apologies.

“And now that you’ve all had a chance to try the different skills and abilities” you say “which classes do you want to work towards?”

“Barbarian!” says Evrumine “the biggest, baddest class there is!”

“Oh rogue, defs” says Chame, then looks sly at Cleya “though when we get a trainer for it, bard could be fun too.”

Cleya glares at Chame with all three eyes, then turns to you and says “Wizard sir, please.”

“I’m torn between ranger and barbarian” says Phaysis, “Can I learn both?”

“Fighter and Rogue” says Nevyn “pouncing on stuff and beating it is the best way to win, or should that be “Monk and rogue?”

“I like Wizard too” says Anlanesa, sat next to Cleya. Hmm, but she’s more suited to sorcerer...

“Calluna?” you ask her, sat at the back, away from the others “is there any class you like?”

Calluna shrinks in her seat, as the other girls turn around “I dunno, Bard I guess.”

Chame laughs loudly and gives a whoop.

“Not like that” says Calluna, blushing “I mean, like, Bard does a bit of everything right? Some magic, some fighting, some Rogue skills, I kinda want to learn a bit of everything.”

Well that’s true, but maybe multiple classes for her is a better idea, or perhaps she can step up into a leadership role?

“Well, it’s the end of today’s training session” you say to the girls “did you like it?”

“Oh yeah” says Chame “when’s the next one?”

“I had loadsa fun!” says Evrumine enthusiastically, swinging an imaginary axe

“It was an excellent investment of time” says Cleya “thank you sir”

The others offer similar views; overall it seems they enjoyed themselves, but then today was all about fun, not hard work. They might think differently after a tougher session.

What do you think to their class choices?

>Let all their choices stand (exclusive)
>Tell them not to get too attached to a class right now (choose later)
>Actually, maybe you should...(suggest classes for girls)
>Other (what?)

Unless there’re any objections or last minute additions, I’m going with this >>40879893
as EXP use

Cleya’s powers left vague for now. If you want Disintegrate/Create Water that would be destruction/creation (or water/cold) themes – which will get you those spells eventually, but maybe not immediately.

>>40880066
>>Let all their choices stand (exclusive)

>>40880066

I assume this isn't set into stone and some re-considering is possible when new abilities come up? Such as Anlanesa going more into Sorcerer/Barb when she discovers Ice Giant?

Correct, this is about the girls stating a preference about what they *want* to train in, and will train in, unless you persuade them otherwise, or until new info comes up that could change their minds.

>>40880132
Does this mean Calluna will train towards bard now, unless persuaded otherwise. Or will she train multi-class, since that fits what she wants anyway?

>>40880047
We wouldn't need to lower the overall number of ranks in Growing Powers that Cleya gets due to BXP.

Bonus XP, 5/5 spent, 0 remaining
>Anlenesa: Wall of Ice, -2 XP
>Phaysis: Spear Skill +1 (1), -2 XP
>Calluna: Hit Points +1 (6), -1 XP

>>40880132
When you say will train in, does that mean we're no longer allowed to direct their XP spending or just that all applicable prereqs that could go towards their preferred class will do so automatically?

>>40880150
>When you say will train in, does that mean we're no longer allowed to direct their XP spending
That was the original plan, I assumed this was just a exception to give a certain direction to them.

As much as I like the sperg, its definitly better if we only suggest the direction.

Depends how the vote goes - letting her choose is bard, yes.

>>40880150
>When you say will train in, does that mean we're no longer allowed to direct their XP spending or just that all applicable prereqs that could go towards their preferred class will do so automatically?

They'll gain training points in the applicable class.

XP can be spent upon anything, but if spend on a qualifying ability for that class, it automatically goes to that class.

XP spent on other abilities cannot count towards other classes, only the class or classes they are training in.

Yes, I forgot to put that in

“Good choices” you say “good choices, ok, that’s enough for tonight and its late, get some rest, Calluna and Anlanesa, please stay for a few minutes, I want to ask you something.”

The girls all file out, except for Calluna and Anlanesa. You address Anlanesa first “wizard really is the best class there is” you jokingly “and I think its great you want to be one, but wouldn’t sorcerer suit your talents better?”

“What do you mean sir?” asks Anlanesa “I’m smart and I study hard.”

“I know” you say “but today you learned how to fire a blast of cold energy instinctively, that’s very much a sorcerer power, not a wizard one.”

“Oh” says Anlanesa, a little disappointed.

“But the skills are very similar” you say “you’d be learning the same things, just in a different way.”

“Oh yes, well then, I guess sorcerer it is” says Anlanesa with a smile.

You turn to Calluna “Bard might not be the best choice for you” you say.

Calluna stretches and thrusts her chest out “you don’t think I’ve got what it takes?” she asks slyly. Anlanesa giggles as you keep your eyes firmly in Callunas face.

“More that it won’t give you access to all the skills you could learn” you say “if you start training in several different classes, you’ll take longer to get there, but you’ll end up with a much broader array of skills than if you just went full bard.”

“Hm,,, yeah I guess” says Calluna “I guess that makes sense, so like, Sorcerer, Rogue and Barbarian.”

“Sure” you say, thinking hard “although that might change later on.”

The two girls leave, clearly they have much to think about. Groundskeeper Answick bids you goodnight and you head to bed, tired after a long day.

The next day, your lessons are going well, maybe you can do this teaching thing after all. You also have some free time in the afternoon, due to the way lessons are arranged, you will usually have at least 1 free period each day.

I dunno, I just want to spend time with the girls individually and she came up first in my mind.
Not an optimal choice, crunch wise, but I am interested in fluff and I think we could try to teach her some protective spells to help her with the melee/spear combat.

>>40880473
>and I think we could try to teach her some protective spells
You realise it would take several weeks before she can even begin to learn spells?

Tutoring one of the girls that actually want to be sorcer or wizards would at least make some sense.

>>40880487
Fine, fine.
>>40880442
Change to the beholder girl, Cleya.

Spending more quality time with leggy elven rangers it is, writing.

Interim discussion: If the chance came up to pick a girl as a *teaching assistant* - basically following you around everywhere, who would you pick, and why? (in-character)

>>40880587
Phaysis. She seems to have a lot of enthusiasm and her dream powers could help with extra lessons, like how the fae girl helped Raynia how to bang Shee.

>>40880587
Cleya seems to be the only one that would make sense right now. Would allow her to learn about magic while we prepare the classes.
Though honestly it doesn't seem like it would work for any of them.

>>40880587
I guess...whoever is more excited with it? On the other hand, I think the less intelligent/dedicated girls could benefit from it, a form to shape them up. Like Evrumine, this could teach her patience and maybe raise her smart/charisma through osmose or need.

If we only want efficiency, then one of the bookworms, like Cleya.

>>40880587
Cleya or Analesa. Both have a solid grasp of magic and are smart enough. Although Analesa being more charismatic may help her teach better.

>>40880587
Cleya, since she is the most interested in what we are doing, wizardry.
I guess Chame to keep any eye on her?
Anlanesa would work for the same reasons Cleya would, though she seems like she gets more easily along with others, so making her follow us around would probably be more detrimental for her. But it would show we aren't doing favoritism with Cleya, I guess.

I suppose whoever would show enthusiasm for actually doing it?

>>40880601
>and her dream powers could help with extra lessons
People usually don't want their dreams invaded.

We still need to pick which Weapon Skill Calluna and Anlanesa actually get.

>>40880695
Pally is gonna pick that based on the girls character, is how I understood it.

You head back towards Brand, mulling over how to sort this problem. You could cave to Mr Alderslys demands (bargaining him down on price however) and pay him, although the funds would likely come out of the as-yet-unknown budget for the adventuring club.

You could simply accept his counter-offer of a less skilled trainer, grating though that might be.

You could ask Mayor Scoper for a copy of the agreement, and then launch a legal challenge, though that would take some time.

You could search for the other Ranger reputed to be in the area and/or the Druid, perhaps they will agree to teach your girls?

You could try the Headmasters suggestion, and challenge Taynathil to some sort of contest, but you’d have to put something up as a wager, and who knows what an elf might want of you....

What is your plan?

We are not going to force anyone to do it. We would talk about this with the students and offer it to the girls willing to go the extra mile. I'm sure some won't like the idea, but others might be interested in it.

No.

Also, if someone would actually agree to that I would find that very very worrysome.

>>40880740

If the town isn't going to uphold their agreements due to their opinions they may screw with our club. Maybe citing dangers of having dungeons near the town or more issues with the soulbound.

>>40880740

Actually keeping our side with the ranger wil not only make her give us more time, it will also improve our chances recruiting that druid we need.

Later when we are not busy could we also See Mayor Scoper about the agreement, because fuck that guy for going back on his word.

Phaysis can control dreams. She could manipulate them to reproduce a dungeon. It could be an extra training session this way.
>I would find that very very worrysome.
Why?

>>40880740
>>See Mayor Scoper about the agreement

So grabbing a copy of the contract, *then* talk to the elf, writing.

>>40880867
>It could be an extra training session this way.
Phaysis ability is not similar to fey dreamwalking.
It doesn't work the way you imagine it to work, the dreams are still regular dreams.

>>40880867
>Why?
Because letting someone fuck with your dreams and invade your mind is not very healthy behaviour.

You decide to get a copy of the contract anyway. People should follow the rules of the law, your time amongst the dwarves has left you with a strong respect for such things.

And, maybe showing that you’re willing to help will convince Taynathil to accept the terms of your challenge, or demand something less onerous from you if you lose.

You head to the mayors house, but find his wife at home. She is welcoming and polite, and locates a copy of the agreement for you, after you give her your word that you’ll return it once you have no need of it.

You have a quick read through of the agreement: it seems fairly simple. It guarantees that there will be no logging or cutting of trees in the western forest further than a distance of eight thousand feet from the towns well, though it allows for the collection of dead wood. It lists fines and punishments for those caught breaking the law, as well as allowing the druids circle to release the town from its obligation.
It doesn’t specify what the town gained from the agreement though, which is odd.
Finally it declares itself as an agreement under the laws of Albia.

You roll it back up and put it in your bag, as you head into the forest. It’s not long before you hear a rumbling behind you. Turning around there’s that huge bear again.

You simply stare it down, in no mood for games “I’m trying to help” you tell the bear “now where’s your owner?”

“I don’t own Amluka” says an elven voice from above you “we just work together, what do you want, wizard?”

You look up, crouched on a tree-branch overhead is Taynathil, her long flowing green cloak allowing you to see nothing interesting, despite standing directly beneath her.

You try politeness first “I’ve obtained a copy of the agreement” you say “the mayor really should be fining Mr Aldersly until he stops logging.”

“So go and tell them” says Taynathil, looking down at you.

“I’m planning on taking them to court” you say “and let the law deal with lawbreakers.”

“Good luck” she says sardonically “mans laws exist to protect man, no one else.”

“I need you to train my girls now” you say “won’t you help me?”

She snorts “when the logging stops, then I’ll help you, wizard, until then, stay out of the forest; Amluka is always hungry.”

“Or” you say “maybe I should find another trainer, I’m going to court because I respect the law, whether you help me or not. Maybe I’ve got the wrong ranger; maybe you just don’t have the right level of skills my girls need.”

She narrows her eyes at you “You’re treading on dangerous ground wizard.”

“Before I take you on” you say “you need to prove your skills, I challenge you to a contest. If I win, you agree to start training my girls immediately”

Taynathil raises an eyebrow at you “and if I win?”

“What do you want?” you ask

She gives a mocking laugh “from you, nothing, but perhaps you can learn a lesson, I know how much you wizards cling to your unnatural power: if I win, you don’t use any magic, for 3 months.”

You try not to show how much that shocks you, 3 months! That’s too much. If she wants that as the stakes, you’ll ask for more from her, or maybe offer to not use magic for a shorter time frame, or with a caveat, like except in defence of your life or another’s, or when training your girls. Privately you think that you wouldn’t stick to that agreement if your life, or the life of one of your students, was in danger anyway. But it would be nice to have it in the deal.

“I might need to use my magic in defence of my own life, or my students lives” you say reasonably “and how can I teach without using magic? I agree to the three months, with exceptions for teaching or defending myself and others.”

Taynathil shrugs, as if she doesn’t really care.

“And” you add “if you fail, you join the club as a full-time assistant and healer, not just as a trainer.”

Taynathil jumps down to the ground, just inches away from you, you hold your ground.

She looms over you and whispers “fine, what did you have in mind, wizard?”

You can feel her breath on your face, and her almond-shaped eyes are just inches from yours, giving you a look of utter contempt.

You realise you forgot to think of something you can challenge her at that she’ll be good at, but you’re better at.

Then a rather treacherous thought occurs: the girls can help you with this. For example if you picked a footrace through the forest. You could hide near the finish-line, whilst Chame pretends to be you at the starting line.

You could also pit your abjuration magic against...anything she’s got, though she might not agree. Say, cast your spells and let the bear attack you, if it draws blood before a time limit, you lose.

You could also have one of the girls go up against her, in some fashion. She doesn’t know their skills after all.

Horses are kinda bad at running through forests, IIRC.

I can't think of anything she would reasonably suggest that one of the girls could beat her at.

Lots of stuff, actually. Calluna could beat her at archery, Nevyn could beat her at stealth/tracking for example

>>40881760
A game of riddleses! *gollum*

>>40881825
What is she supposed to do? Play hide and seek?

>>40881760
Oh fuck, I'll second >>40881864

>>40881881
That's a good idea, actually.

2 for magic, 2 for riddles

extending voting time by 5 minutes

>>40881903
It was meant as a legit question, there are ways to make that work.

Maybe challenge her to play hide and seek with one(or several) of our girls and if she catches her(or a certain number of them) she wins.

>>40881932
Riddles.

>>40881760

>>40881932
If
>>40881789
didn't count as vote then I make my vote this
>challenge her to hide and seek with one(or several) of our girls and if she catches her(or a certain number of them) in the alloted time. She wins. otherwise we win.

>>40881858
>Calluna
Given that the ranger probably has a +20 or higher and Calluna has a +4 at best? Nope.

>Nevyn
Very unlikely, though I suppose her detection vs Nevyn's stealth modifier would be somewhat close. Risky.

>>40881951
I like it BUUUUT I really wanna do riddles.

>>40881966
>Given that the ranger probably has a +20 or higher and Calluna has a +4 at best? Nope.
She can still beat her if she rolls a 20. I never said she has great chances, but she definitly can, by using Overcome Anything

>>40881983
she's need two 20's to auto win, 1 20 is just a really good roll.

>>40881979
I somehwat doubt she is going to agree to riddles anyway.
And its incredibly boring to just roll a Int-check as the challenge even if she does for some odd reason.

>>40881932
dem riddles

Riddles it is, writing

>>40881760
>>40881951
Seconding

>>40881991
Yes, thats why I said if she rolls a 20, she has a chance to turn the second roll into a 20 as well.

>>40881997
What word retains the same pronunciation, even if you take away four of it's letters?

>>40882020
So she needs two or more rolls at 15+ in order to succeed. And you are defending this idea.

Why is riddles winning?
Challenge with the girls has
3 vs. the 3 for riddles. It wasn't even a tie when the vote was extended.

>And you are defending this idea.
I'm not, I was asked what girl COULD beat her at something she would suggest. Calluna CAN beat her at it. You never at any point asked how risky or hard it would be.

>>40882104
Well, now it is actually riddles winning after the extended time.
I wasn't against riddles, so if you already wrote that, by all means. I was just wondering.

>>40882104
None of those votes were agreeing on anything and Riddles had four votes.

Fucking hell, I'd rather change from bear attack to riddles than get stuck with any of the hare-brained ideas those chucklefucks came up with.

>>40882151
>What work is never finished?
Autobiography

You know, this might actually mean something if you would pick a actually hard riddle not everyone has already heard.

>>40882144
Sorry, I didn't mean to.

If it consoles you, I wanted the bear attack.

>>40882156
This keeps getting better.

>>40882156
It's perfect, now just make it black and slightly bigger.

>>40882155
About doing something where the best option is a 50/50 shot at failure? I'll be exactly as mad as I want.

Also, unless I'm miscounting, even all of the votes for one of the girls to do something are only tying with riddles, and *before* the vote extension, bear attack was tied.

So there is no interpretation in which doing something with the girls won.

It doesn’t have to be you that bests her; one of the girls, or perhaps a group of them, could do so just as well.

Phaysis could race her over an open field, Nevyn could best her in a game of hide and seek, as could Chame. Well, maybe at any rate, Taynathil is supposedly a skilled ranger, she might find them anyway.

What do you suggest as a contest?

>She picks the challenge, you pick the girl
>Race (Phaysis)
>Hide and seek (who?)
>Other contest (what? who?)

riddles was half-written, but rules are rules

And she wouldn't have agreed to riddles anyway

>>40882207
>Calluna challenges her to riddles
I hope you can think in twelve dimensions.

>>40882207
>She picks the challenge, you pick the girl
I bet bear attack woudl have worked...

>>40882219
Or this, I would take this too

>>40882207
>Race (Phaysis)
Open plain

Minotaur Girl wrestles Bear

>>40882207

>Hide and seek (who?)
Chame.

>>40882207
>Race (Phaysis)
>Make them run for a flag, the first to bring it back wins. Then put the flag on the opposite side of a river/lake

>>40882171
>Implying there is a riddle that can't be solved by google

>>40882219
That can't work. What is true for one is false tot he other. Riddles need to be true for everyone involved.

>>40882207
>Open field, or if there is an lake, place a 2 flags on the opposite side and first one to bring a flag back wins

>>40882207
>>40882270
this
She might still beat her on open field

I like how we're relying on an athletics check to win the day against a person who has athletics as a class skill.

Race for the flag, with a lake in the middle it is

>>40882334
Now make the tip red. Maybe also engorged and heavy.

>>40882345
No, we are relying on Phaysis being able to run over water and she can't.

>>40882334
What >>40882369 said

>>40882345
I'm also relying on the fact that she probably can't out run a horse.

>>40882345
It won't be a plain athletics check.
Just alone becuase it makes no actual in-story sense.
Phaysis has a agility penalty in Centaur form, which would mean by that logic she would need to become slower by becoming a horse.
Thats just dumb.

>>40882345
Running isn't a athletics check, actually.

>>40882405
To be realistic, I expect her to cheat too.
So its not necessarily a automatic victory.

>>40882405
Chame can hide on the horse body and when they hit the lake she shape shifts her way across and back with the flag. Our hope can be we get enough of a head start on the open stretch

Are we going to aware Phaysis credits for this?
Are we going to keep track of their credits, at all? We already deducted some from a couple of students.

>>40882485
Award, not aware

>>40882477
Stop trying to shoehorn Chame in.

>>40882485
Yes phaysis get's credits for this.

>>40882485
>Are we going to award Phaysis credits for this?
Definitly.

>>40882485
>Are we going to keep track of their credits, at all?
Not in minituae, ut we should keep them in mind. I don't think pally expects us to make a custom for it everytime or never give any otherwise.
I expect we will give Chame and Evrumine(together with the rest of the club) at the latest their credits after the dungeon.

>>40882477
>and when they hit the lake she shape shifts her way across
Or Phaysis just keeps running.

>>40882535
Perfect.

>>40882535
Now give the orbs two horns each and put smaller orbs hovering over them.

>>40882555

>>40882406
Athletics isn't necessarily governed by Agility (I don't think we've ever actually made an Athletics check), but it would probably lower the DC because horse if it was.

>>40882440
It probably is if you're trying to beat a time limit or another person in a competition.

“Well?” she asks, you’ve spent a while thinking this over.

“How about a race” you say “two flags, whoever brings the flag back to the finish line first wins.”

She gives you a suspicious look “I know about teleportation spells wizard” she says “I’m not stupid.”

“Oh I wouldn’t race” you say “I’m a terrible runner, no, it would be one of my students instead.”

“Same problem” she says.

“This girl can’t teleport” you say “and this would be a race between just the two of you – no outside interference, but other than that, you can each use whatever you like.”

She thinks about this “And no teleporting or flying flags, or illusionary ones.”

“Of course not” you say, trying to sound offended “this is a race, speed against speed, one side of the lake to another.”

“Aha!” she says “you said *race* not *footrace* - so your girl is some sort of mer-girl, that’s your trick, fine, I agree, you said we can use whatever we like. There’s a lake up in the valley” she points “the fish there get pretty big, I’ll tell them not to eat your girl, just scare her off, deal, wizard, when?”

“This evening” you suggest, it’ll give you a chance to explain the situation to Phaysis.

“Enjoy life without your magic, wizard” she says, striding off into the forest. The bear yawns and turns to follow her.

Right, now you just need to explain to Phaysis why she has to race her new trainer in order to well, get her to train her.

>Athletics isn't necessarily governed by Agility
You can absolutely bet it is.

>>40882582
>It probably is if you're trying to beat a time limit or another person in a competition.
Nope. Speed is decided by Base Speed, which is a different stat.
Now if we talk about additional challenges in the race, like if we were actually running through the forest and had to evade roots and such, that would be athletics.

And thread over. Thanks for playing. Next thread is expected to be on Friday, but please check twitter.

I’ll hang around for Q&A

First topic: XP

For simplicity I’ve been using 1XP (MC) = 5XP (club) because the club splits theirs, between 7 girls so far, but probably more in the future.

I could track them entirely separately, use a smaller multiplier (x2, x3) or reduce the XP the MC gets, to slow things down.

What are your preferences?

XP for this thread delayed, for reasons. All feedback welcome.

I love the staff btw, very funny

If you have requests for more stuff you wanna see, let me know.

>>40882607
>What are your preferences?
I'm okay with the 1:5 split it works fine.
The issue was just getting batches of XP too often would have led to power inflation like in the other quests.

Thanks for the thread. Hope we get to the dungeon soon.

>>40882589
I would have made the correction that the race would not allow swimming

>>40882589
>“Aha!” she says “you said *race* not *footrace*
What would she have done if we had send someone with wings?
We can still ask Janrael

>>40882651
I like this idea.

>>40882633
She might have refused at that point

She knows you go to a school for unusual girls, she also believes she can beat any young girl in a standard race.

Saying no swimming or no mer-girl, would have gotten her thinking, and centaur might've been her next thought, or flight.

>>40882607
Thanks for running.

Aside from the XP amount, I hope todays way of spending it was a exception, because while I enjoy the sperg, it would probably be better for the quests pacing and for the theme, if we have only indirect influence on what exactly the XP are being spend on.

>>40882664
I see.
Well, great thread pally! Thanks for running and I see you on friday!

>>40882664
Then we could've said no centaur and no flight.

And then have Phaysis turn into her Equine form.

>>40882702
Why would we deliberatly help her narrow down our trick?
Thats just dumb and would serve no purpose.

>>40882675

I plan for future XP use to be handled by myself and Autism Anon, rather than the players as a whole. Today the vote was no specific training, giving neither of us any idea what players wanted the girls to learn.

I plan to allocate XP on a class and race basis depending on what I see the girls preferences as.

Players (via the MC) can still try to get girls to learn specific abilities if they want.

Be warned: I build bland all-rounders though.

>>40882731
>Be warned: I build bland all-rounders though.
I assume we will have the option to convince the girls to specialise into certain things?

>>40882731
I expected you to do it alone. Yes, more work, but AA is too much of a minmaxer to reflect the growth of young teens. I expect them to randomly try various things, even if they have a preferred class, as they try things out and are momentarily impressed with something new/different.

>>40882773
>I expect them to randomly try various things, even if they have a preferred class, as they try things out and are momentarily impressed with something new/different.
That doesn't make a lot of sense in the context of the story.
Trying a few things here and there doesn't need to be reflected in the stats. And since their training runs over the Adventurer club, it will naturally be rather more focused, as normal for athletes.
Some might try different things, some might not, but that will be a matter in the story.
