Shipslaughter, the Goblin Fort - A Dwarf Fortress-inspired RP

[ClocktowerEchos]

@ClocktowerEchos I think the skills are useful and provide a more linear guide to skill selection. However I believe allowing some unique skills are also good.

@ClocktowerEchos So what your saying is if we kill some dwarves we can get gunpowder and when we get gunpowder we can make guns?

@Dark Cloud

Its more that gunpowder is the Dwarf's special thing that you'd likely only see if you piss them off enough to try and attack you guys with a cannon. Like how Kobolds are insanely powerful magic users but have no idea how to actually use magic. Realistically, I don't expect you guys to really be able to have access to enough gunpowder to do anything more than scare small children with fire.

@ClocktowerEchos Can I believe in god enough to smite my enemies?

[ClocktowerEchos]

@ClocktowerEchos Can I believe in god enough to smite my enemies?

@Dark Cloud

Probably not. Gods work in mysterious ways and sometimes those mysterious ways involve taking a week long fishing trip away from the office. Anyways, I need to sleep. I'll answer and reply to anything in the morning.

[Dark Cloud]

@ClocktowerEchos What's the OOC ETA? Also good night, have a good sleep too.

[Dark Cloud]

@ClocktowerEchos Good morning.

[Sadko]

@Sadko Now that you're accepted, what's the thing you'd like to add to the supply manifest?

@ClocktowerEchos

Hey, not sure what you meant by that.

Also, I honestly thought each gang would have a different starting scenario. Whoops.

@Sadko Ahh rip, yeah sorry about that. The starting scenario was for everyone at the start of the RP. As for bonus supply, basically you get to take along something of your choice that isn't in the initial starting supplies. Dead Cloud already brought along some wolves for their bonus supply stuff.

[SilverPaw]

What are the initial supplies we get btw?

[ClocktowerEchos]

What are the initial supplies we get btw?

@SilverPaw

Ignore this, wrong starting scenario

This is what I have planned right now. Its mostly just stuff you guys found off the body of the poor bastard who was assigned to transport you guys in a wagon and woefully underestimated a bunch of goblins. Subject to change ofc.Starting Supplies (Freed Slaves)

- Enough food for each goblin for 1 day
- Enough drink for each goblin for 1 day
- 2 copper hatchets
- 1 wooden hammer
- 1 humanoid-sized suit of armor
- 1 wooden cudgel
- 1 leather whip
- 1 set of iron chain manacles for each goblin
- 1 wooden wagon
- 2 draft animals (thinking either boars or donkeys or something else a bit more fantasy)
I'm also thinking of just having "goblinite" being a special type of alloyed metals gobbos can make from just about anything. Maybe it'll help simplify logistics.

[Dark Cloud]

@ClocktowerEchos Uh why's it say Freed Slaves?

[Dark Cloud]

@ClocktowerEchos Remember the scenario that got the 3rd vote from @Dog was Desperate Refugees.

@Dark Cloud

... Well fuck me that shows my memory. I'll change it shortly >_<"

[ClocktowerEchos]

Starting Scenario: Desperate Refugees

- 2 day's worth of food for each goblin (in sacks)
- 2 day's worth of drink for each goblin (in barrels)
- 2 day's worth of animal food for each animal (in sacks)
- 1 heirloom artifact (last memory of the old tribe, this is something the entire group shares)
- 2 wheel barrows (to carry all this stuff)
- 1 set of Goblinite tools (hatchet, hammer, hoe, saw, shovel, pick, knife)
- 5 units of herbal medicine

Some clarification: the food and drink is just to give you guys some wiggle room as I plan for each turn to be 1 day more or less unless specified otherwise. Containers will be used to store these items in places so that they don't spoil/get eaten by vermin. Each goblin will consume 1 unit of food. The heirloom artifact could be anything as of right now. The wheel barrows are there to carry all this stuff and for some basic transportation. Goblinite is just melted down metal roughly on par or below iron (honestly its to help keep resources more simple since it can be made from any other metal by melting them down). Tools are used for jobs and each unit of medicine will cure 1 illness or be used in 1 operation unless its something special.

These number values aren't final, I suspect that the tools might change.

[Dark Cloud]

@ClocktowerEchos So I'll say my starting goods are:

• 2 days worth of trail rations for each goblin.
• 2 days worth of potable water in barrels.
• 2 days worth of preserved meats for the wolves.
• Wolfskin Mantle

I'm just flavoring my items if that is okay?
