Dragon Age: The Aeducan Succession [Stopped]

[johnhughthom]

No kills, interesting. Of course the perpetrators of the previous kill may have decided to lay low to place the blame on Renata. I say Imprison: Renata again and see if their patience holds. Of course somebody may have found or saw something last night which could change that view...

Imprison: Johnhughthom

Some-one couldn't resist keeping their hands out of my coin purse, heh? You theif.

I wonder if mafia need a higher attack bonus than their target's armour bonus to make a kill? Without a narrative writeup of "X attacked Y but failed", it's a possibility that this did happen.

*Checking*

EDIT: Nope, there's nothing in the rules. Secura, could you shed some light on this? What are weapons and armour used for in this game?

[johnhughthom]

I believe an attackers strength must be higher than the targets constitution for an attack to succeed. You are correct of course, we may well have had a failed attack, or attacks, during the night. If so my position may well change.

[Secura]

The night phase write-up is complete; take a look, and lemme know what you think of the narrative. :3

EDIT: Nope, there's nothing in the rules.

There is; I was pretty thorough in both explaining and testing the mechanics for attacking and defending. :3

They have varied effects, which I wouldn't reveal in the rules because it'd just ruin the sensation of getting that cool new item otherwise; this is based upon an RPG, after all.

However, I will say that the most basic of weapons and armour essentially boost your Strength or Constitution; some items have other effects on mechanics that you'll come across in due course. :3

I believe an attackers strength must be higher than the targets constitution for an attack to succeed.

That is correct, as it says in the rules.

[God Emperor]

perhaps the armor/attack just influence the outcome of an assasination, that it may work like a standard rpg game. After all the game is seen as the sequel to Baldurs gate :p

oh Secura jost posted the answer

[johnhughthom]

Beskie lost some dough, Romanic revealed as dual dagger wielding (rogue?) victim of an attack. Was he on his way back from relieving Beskar of some of his wealth?

That's a bizarre question to ask after reading a no-kill writeup, when the said writeup didn't have any information that an attack happened. It's like you knew about it beforehand.

This is one of those moments where you just slap your forehead and get on with your life.

I realize no one dead and all, but ...

The dwarf passed the sealed entrance to the Assembly, pausing briefly to embrace the silence that covered the city; the sensation of solitude lasted only a moment as the thudding footfalls of plate-metal permeated the peace, a gutteral battle-cry managing to cut through the air quicker than the swing of his axe could.

The plate-clad assailant wheeled around with surprising agility and struck again ...

(Et cetera.)

Are you for real?

[johnhughthom]

That was posted before Secura edited in the write up.

[Renata]

All right.

[Pinman]

Personally I think we can let Renata out, and see if anything else appears in the next night's writeup. Or alternatively, although I don't think its the better move, we could just kill her now. Imprisoning her again is unlikely to yield the maximal amount of information.

So lets see, whos been quiet. How about we Imprison: Captain Blackadder?

What do you have to say for yourself sir?

[johnhughthom]

Unimprison: Renata Let's see what today's discussion brings.

[Reenk Roink]

Double A is innocent.

Edit: Maybe innocent is too strong but he didn't do anything last night.

Edit Edit: Vote: Renata

[Secura]

Check the Day Phase post, it does state that Renata is no longer imprisoned; prisoners are released at the start of the next day phase automatically, no need for 'unimprison' votes.

I'm really starting to worry that I've made the game too complex or that I haven't explained things in enough depth now. :/
