I would have liked to see more Beorn as he was vastly underused to the point it wouldn't have made a difference if he weren't there. I can but hope for more of him in the third film.

The Hobbit: l loved it.

Heroica RPG - Tidings of Comfort and All That Sh*t
Scorpiox replied to Sandy's topic in The Heroica Archive
-
To clarify: are we allowed to write to NPCs other than those created by Sandy?

"Whatever. However you want to explain it, we're not blowing up that bridge. People will die."
-
"This place is a powder keg. They'd hit first and ask questions later, believe me. In times like this no-body goes looking for the cause, both sides would club everyone they can reach."
-
"And start a war? Not a good idea."

"Dishonouring one's norse heritage or family leads to banishment, as does assault of powerful members of the clan. The rules vary between these clans, although, so it would be wise to learn the truth of what each accepts. Magic is an accepted part of norse life, but one that is not looked upon favourably or encouraged. Most nords believe that ether manipulation should be left to the gods, and the gods only. I would not announce my powers if I were to venture to Vártland if I were to be wise." Over the curator's shoulder, En Sabeh Nur could see a pair of dwarves hammering up a notice above one of the doorways. ~The Great Archive now contains new entries~

We're having a debate because that is what we want to do. No-body on either quest is complaining about lack of gold, but we are trying to discuss the issue and look for a resolution.

It's obvious you have bitter feelings, so why not voice them in a more mature and useful way?

"It's a cart, at least it only moves when you want it to." Haldor climbs onto the back of the wagon and pulls out his new, not so fresh beard and wraps it around his neck, just beneath his beard. "Ugh. Not exactly clean, but it'll help to keep out of the cold." He equips Ognar's beard.
-
Is anybody actually irritated here? I must have missed the point when this ceased being an intellectual debate.

If a cleric were to roll a shield every round they could almost guarantee the party's victory. If a rogue were to roll the same... they would become very rich. Rogues are the only class whose special ability is self-orientated and not contributing to the victory. That is not to say that the rogue wouldn't also do damage that could turn the party's fortune, but they are the only class that, in effect, rewards themself for performing well.
-
Because the rogue special skill benefits the rogue.
-
I'm not in favour of anyone having to drop their own items into the pool (other than Black Knight looted artefacts and weapons), but I like to think that it is the rogues' responsibility to pay for the party's phoenix essences once we come across a shop.

Haldor gazed over the dockyard with his eyes. "Not a bad place. Looks... lived-in. Olmstyr, are there any significant sights we need to watch for?"
-
Would Ognar's beard fit into the same slot as a hood?

"Does anyone care what I think? Gods only know how much time we've wasted standing on this bloody thing, shouting out whatever bollocks comes to mind. You know what I think? You're all missing the point. This isn't about the loot any more, it's turned into a pissing match over who is in charge here. It's obvious neither option's gonna suit everybody, 'cause it seems that some people have got an opinion about everything. The most sensible choice is one that hurts everybody the least, and that's the one Guts is offering. Hoke, your suggestions good for some, those can't wriggle gold out of every bodily orifice, me included, but it ain't pleasing the folks that have to give up their wealth to line the pockets of others. Guts is clear that he don't want anyone having anything taken away from them, which might not lead to as much overall happiness for men of my non-farming ilk, but at least it ain't gonna make anyone sad. You get me? (Haldor votes for Guts)" He groaned. "Jess, where are you?"

"Bowie was never meant to be. He's like a LEGO kit. I'm convinced I wouldn't like him, because he's too vacuous and undisciplined. There is no definitive David Bowie" ( David Bowie on David Bowie,1976) Lovely quote there which allows me to infer that David is a fan of LEGO like the rest of us.
-
Haldor clutched his head. "Will everyone please shut the hell up? I'm getting a headache here. Why can't we just divide it up like Guts said, and have the rogues pay for our necessary supplies when we hit the dock?"
-
Haldor bit his tongue. "Yeah, whatever. The clan never liked me 'cause I didn't take orders that make no sense, but I'll stay myself now because you asked me too."
-
Guts is so blunt, it's beautiful.

Haldor groaned, and it wasn't clear weather this was out of sickness or annoyance. "You're pretty naive, for a captain who up to now has shown impeccable leadership. If your arch-foe bloody offers to tell everyone how you saved them, it's foolish to turn them down. Don't you see?, That lass weren't trying to force you to put anything down in writing, promising your allegiance, she was throwing you a bone. You get reassurance they won't come after you in the near future, and you can run off that reassurance for until it no longer suits you. Sure, they might get pissed and try and kick your head in afterwards, but in that case, you've just bought yourself lots of lovely free time. You won't feel bad for lying to a bunch of blokes you've always hated, too. I have no idea what world you live in, but there's literally no downside to accepting that offer. I've never been captain of anything in my life, nor will I likely be if I can barely stand on these bloody things, but even I can see that you messed up there." The nord coughed roughly into his fist. "I can only apologise for my words, captain. I can't be bothered to pussy-foot around or exercise politeness with this dirty great lump of wood rocking from underneath me all the damn time..." He coughed again. "For what it is worth, I ain't gonna vote on the loot - 'cause I'm a weak minded-bastard who can barely keep his lunch down, let alone think clearly."

I'm liking that gunship more and more by the moment...
