Spritelings Chapter 01

Shall I roll? If so, how many die, and what's the opposition?

No need to roll, though you can activate Gentle Giant to speed up the process if you want (Trivial show off). The more straightforward approach of gnawing and felling it would probably take you around 5-6 minutes, and about twice as much for getting rid of extraneous branches and roots, and then about as much to get the tree to the shore and position it correctly across the river. So . . . about 20, at most 30 minutes for everything.

Edit: Upon some discussion, it became clear that it would be reasonable for Walk Like a Mammoth to warrant a stronger bridge - either three trees instead of one, or two trees and some reinforcement with webbing, or significantly more webwork.

I'll avoid spending drama charge for now.

Perhaps one of the usage for the 'Heroic tune'? Here a shanty-like version? ;-)

* An hour of effort assumes Bull and Nemma as main contributors. It's possible to reduce this further by either assistance (though compared to those two, total crafting or brawn ratings of less than 7 will be very modest), or by enhancing those two's ratings supernaturally.

Do clarify which of the shores you're going to - presumably either northwest or southwest, as good crossing points towards those are close by to the starting location?

I vote for northwest

Northwest shore vote as well.

northwest is fine with me, too

Northwest is fine. Also, what are the dietary requirements of a spriteling anyway?

Assume a spriteling is omnivorous unless you want life to be more complicated (in which case you'd be getting Drama Charge from the extra hassle). In terms of amount, a typical spriteling eats three meals a day comparable to how much a humanoid would. Except for Bull, who will often need 2.5 times as much, but gain Drama Charge when that causes problems.

On average, an hour of effort of foraging or hunting in the wilderness provides one standard meal, with Survival improving yield as per the decibel scale. This doesn't mean it always takes one hour per hunt, but there's not much point in diving into fine details (beyond the initial narration) and randomising yields from time to time. Note that this food is not particularly well-preserved, and much of it will be unsuitable for hoarding for more than a couple of days.

Travel speed through 'normal' wilderness for a spriteling is about four thousand yards per hour, adjusted by Travel as per the dB scale. So, for example, Bull can comfortably accelerate to a cruising speed of ten thousand yards per hour over normal terrain (or even 25 by Activating Group Steed); this may be reduced for bad terrain though.

It would probably be best to decide on a more specific course/direction/destination - either by azimuth, or by using an image. (Note the site supports automated/integrated pasting of images to imgur, but given the latest mess with imgur, using that function may silently fail depending on your IP address' region.)

With the introduction scene over, everyone gains 15 Drama Charge as previously discussed. It's probably more than the scene impact would indicate, but I said it will be around 15 so I'm handing out 15. Of course further dialogues and other RP are welcome as always.

Lol no points in travel
