- Hmm.. very suspicious business indeed I think I'll have a chat with Arabella, shake her hands to check for fading blisters, stick my nose a little too close to her bosom and smell her perfume. Do I smell roses? [[[Now, what will Arabella's reaction to that be? what will I really smell? Is this approach a good idea at all? Let the die tell the truth of all this ]]]

Re: Roll to Dodge!
Round 5
Thursday Afternoon:
Here's the map of the area again, for reference:
Game Rules
(scroll down on both of these links)
Cast of Characters
Thursday Afternoon:
- Mr. Crumblebuckie Only:
- [7] After a half-hour's sit-down on a dewy bank near the road, you begin to feel a bit better. It takes some poking about along both sides of the gravel road for a distance, during which a farmer's wife stops on her way past and inquires if you have lost something, but eventually you find some footprints in the damp grass. They lead through some reeds that hide some swampy ground. Your boots suck and squelch through the mud and you nearly fall over once or twice (thankfully the woman is no longer watching).
The ground begins to rise again once near the woods.
Here the track becomes harder to follow as there is a footpath around the perimeter of the trees. You search through the woods but find nothing. As you are bent over a patch of mushrooms that has caught your eye, A bearded man with an axe over one shoulder and a rough-looking dog behind him hails you. You ask if he has seen any dark figure this way. He has a strange look about him, but he claims to have not seen anyone apart from you ("and my hound!") since yesterday. He invites you to a drink at the pub later that evening. (He says his name is Greybold.)
You palm him a few shillings, which he gratefully accepts.
- Lady Rose Only:
- [6] You feel a little.. indisposed after your activities this morning and decide to have a good long soak in the bath. The afternoon floats away as you enjoy a good read from your diary.
- Ringo Only:
- [7] You pass through the village (once again nearly running into Mr. Smith) and arrive outside the iron gates of Braxton Hall by lunchtime. You do not wish to fully reveal your identity so soon in your investigation, so you pass yourself off as a charity case to one of the grooms, who is caring for one of the horses. He seems kind, and instead of sending you packing he leads you around to the kitchen entrance where his sister, the head-cook, invites you inside for some soup and sandwiches.
From your perch near the fireplace you can hear the family members eating in the dining hall, and catch bits of conversation whenever a servant opens the serving doors on their way back and forth with various dishes. You catch something about "renovation" and the "church." But that is all you make out before the Butler finds you and hustles you outside.
- Marigold Scroggins Only:
- [12] You follow the old lady that so caught your eye. Discretely, from a distance, you watch as she visits the butchers, buys some cucumbers at the market, and picks up a loaf at the bakery. The townspeople seem to respect her and treat her well, and you catch her name in passing.
She is in fact the late Ashby's widowed sister, Vivienne Renaud! You follow her home to her address, mark its location for later use, and attempt to strike up a conversation.
She assumes you are begging and says, "No, no, I have no spare change. Leave off!"
You try again and offer her assistance with her parcels as she ventures up the steep steps to her house. "May I assist you, Madam, with your groceries?" You call out.
Mrs. Renaud has rather poor hearing, and, mistaking you for a gypsy woman, actually hears, "May you blister with the bites of horse-fleas!"
She turns around and casts a withering stare in your direction. Her fists clenched, her eyes wide.
"How... dare you. Horrible woman! You would curse me with your raggamuffin mutterings upon my own doorstep?" She drops a parcel and waves to a passing gentleman with her free hand.
"Mr. Smith! Oh Mr. Smith, drive away this unfettered Gypsy. She means to curse me into an early grave!"
A frowning gentleman on horseback rides up with a riding crop in hand. "WHAT!" he calls out. "Here TOO!?"
You know how to take care of yourself, and leap over some flower pots and down a nearby alley before things can get any worse!

Re: Roll to Dodge!
Good point, I have enough trouble myself trying to find old stuff.
I added the map, and ease-of-use links to the rules and characters pages.

- Like its owner, the axe was older and rather worn. The blade itself, however, was newly sharpened and gleaming.

Good idea! I only wish there was some way we could collect all of the Rounds and put them together for easy-reading.

Re: Roll to Dodge!
I'll have the map and those same links after every round now. I might even include all three rounds of the day every evening, as that's meant to be when you all get together and share what you've been up to. If I do you won't have to look back through the last few pages to read the day's rounds.Pettytyrant101 wrote:Maybe at the start of every round you should put the map up again.

- I spend the day watching the men of the lumber yard cutting wood, I decide I want to leave off my bustle, throw my flowery hat in a puddle and disguise myself as a man, with the intention to call myself Freddy Farthingale librarian and antique book seller. Thus disguised I will apply for employment in the local town hall, with a view to unearthing secret documents of the local Masonic lodge. Dangerous work for a bearded lady.

Sorry this has taken so long (again!) Forest, I've been studying for an exam, so I haven't had the time until today
- Spoiler:
- Renovation and church, you say... what am I to make of that? Could it have something to do with the case? I think I'll go to the town's renovation dude and ask him to do a little job for me, but I'll need to know what work he's been doing recently, so I can know whether or not he's any good...

Cool, thanks for updating everyone. I have work down south again through, at least, Thursday. So I won't be updating until after that.

Re: Roll to Dodge!
Haha, I loved re-reading the first game of this. I didn't really know what I was doing with the second game and I think I come across as over-bearing and not very fun in some parts. Sorry Mrs. Figg!
It's funny re-reading these first attempts of mine to GM a game after years since in which I've run games of D&D and Call of Cthulhu and Mouse Guard.
Thanks everyone who participated. It was fun!

Re: Roll to Dodge!
From Beyond the Stars, an RTD That's right, it's back!
A Roll to Dodge game in which you play as an elder god, gain cultists and get them to summon you to the earth, and claim dominion over it before the other elder gods beat you to it... or Cthulhu wakes up. (mostly taken from Aslandus' thread on the Bay 12 Forums)
Rules:
Each player is an elder god, a mysterious and sanity-breaking being that can influence humanity into serving it. To make a character, do the following:
1. Choose two traits from the following list: Charismatic (you easily attract followers (cultists)), Mighty (your physical form is strong and resilient), Potent (your eldritch abilities are especially effective).
2. Give yourself 3 eldritch abilities. These can be anything from: your cultists can read minds, you can create tornadoes or floods at will, you are immune to bullets, the sight of you turns non-cultists mad, etc.
3. Describe what you look like. Not all eldritch horrors have to be big swirling masses of eyeballs on leathern wings, perhaps you take the form of a pack of coyotes, or a scarecrow with burning eyes, or a movie actor.
4. Give yourself a name.
Everyone starts as an elder god in some unknown realm beyond the stars. Searching far and wide with your malignant gaze, you have espied a whole world of puny, mortal creatures called "humans" who can be made to serve you. All you have to do is get enough of them together to summon you from your astral prison. Once physically on the earth, your full might can be brought to bear towards your ultimate goal of dominating the earth and shaping it in your image. The humans most receptive to your bizarre influence all live on the Pacific Coast of the U.S. and Canada, so you'll probably be summoned to California or Oregon or B.C. or nearby.
So, the main thing at first is to get cultists. You need at least 50 of them for them to summon you. You also want lots of them so that they can do your bidding. Once you get them, you can tell them what to do. On the other hand, it is possible that some of these pathetic humans will band together against you once your presence is known to them, forming groups of investigators that will attempt to foil the plots of your cultists, or even move against you if they can. Also, Cthulhu is not going to sleep forever, eventually he will rise and destroy everything unless you have grown more powerful than him by that point.
As a quick reminder, in Roll to Dodge, everyone says a thing that they want to do (and what they want their cultists to do, once they have them), and I roll a six-sided die to see how well that goes, with the following results:
[1] - Epic Fail. The action was not performed, and backfired horribly.
[2] - Fail. Nothing happened.
[3] - Partial Success.
[4] - Success. The action was carried out adequately.
[5] - Epic Success. The action succeeded in the most positive way possible.
[6] - Overshot. Though the result was achieved, the action backfires horribly due to disproportionately large effort.
The choices you made when you made your horror can influence the results. So that if you wrote: gather cultists to my cause and rolled a 5 when your horror has the Charismatic trait, you would attract twice as many followers with this action than you would have if you did not have the Charismatic trait.
The game ends when:
1. You are the only elder god left alive.
2. Cthulhu rises and manages to kill everyone.
3. Cthulhu is defeated, joint victory to anyone left alive at that point.
Eldritch Horrors:
