I am undecided about what magic looks like in this setting, or at least for Dahlia! Any ideas?

Have I been able to keep our supervisor occupied so that he isn't involved in the conversation with Dahlia?

I think the magic words summarize particular mental processes that engage supernatural forces. It's yours to describe how or if Dahlia manifests those processes with physical actions.

Well friends, how would like to be paid? We are allegedly sharing some of this wealth with the village, but there should be enough to go around. Dahlia's first instinct is to ask for the coin, but she knows that information can be as valuable. Knowing next other nothing about these wizards, however, she wouldn't see the value in a letter of favor.

To be honest I think myrven is on board with being paid in coin. Information might be more exciting but his disposition at the moment would be much more inclined to getting some wealth under him considering we are lean on cash.

So, 900 gold for the three crates? That seems like a good amount, but I don't really know. What do folks think? We'd have to go share it with the town, too. Each of us can have everything we could possible want from the gear list for 100 or less (plus a horse, maybe, for another 100?). So I'm not sure.

Not sure where Myrven is getting the two dozen men. Did I write that somewhere? I thought it was the three of you, the captain, and Dwatto on a smallish fishing boat.

is it a lie to get them to boost their price, maybe?

Yea I figured myrven would swing for an exaggeration.

The game rules are so lightweight that money beyond like 50 coin is pretty much meaningless, or so it seems. We just got a few rumors, but are there any threads we have forgotten about that we wanna return to?

I'd be keen to buy armour so I can be a bit more tanky. Not sure what we should do about the village fish poisoning if we care, but maybe going out on the town is a good way to generate some new contacts. Or we could look for a library if Dahlia wants to do some magic research.

We could put on the pinkie ring and follow to where it leads?

Is the term "domain level play" relevant to you? With 300+ coin you could easily recruit followers etc.
Aug 26, 2025 1:17 am
Yes, I am familiar with that kind of play, and I like it! But I was just looking at Dungeon Goons (and Tunnel Goons too) which is the system we're using, and neither of them support things like that. I'm open if we wanna figure something out, tho.
Aug 26, 2025 1:22 pm
The beauty of a simplistic system like Dungeon Goons is that it leaves room for us to discuss and agree on rules for situations not covered. It's pretty easy to make those rules consistent with the paradigm of the underlying rule set. For example, I've got a small set of Mass Combat rules called "Goon Squad". I would imagine Erudite rolls become more significant for things like arranging logistics, negotiating trade deals, selecting reliable generals, etc. Unlike a wargame, Goons-derivative domain level play would tend to keep your characters centered in the story.

Sure, I'm game!

No worries. I suggest you and @drgwen have an in-character discussion of Dahlia and Myrwen's next plans.

Uneven Melee Combat

When it's multiple-v-one, the one gets to roll against each opponent each clash, but only one roll can DO damage; the rest are pure defense and the one might take damage on a miss.

Shooting Combat

There's no risk of damage when you're shooting AT someone. You roll +Skulker+Weapon.

When you're getting shot at, you roll +Skulker+Armor v their DS. On a miss you take damage.
