I do know how to Google but I was thinking it would be a good idea to set up a beastry for the story. Since some people (me) may not be very familiar with all the beast we will encounter and all their traits, or at least the traits that will apply for the BB. I remember reading a post about those creatures from shadow chorus but I couldn't find.

It's in the character creation area, under Shadowhaunt - races

Quick question: how strong is the scent of blood?  Just want a general estimate of hungering frenzy buff.


Also, when I get a moment, ima have The Gorger try to clear an opening.

EDIT: Actually, another idea...

EDIT EDIT:  I figured with Rau's buff and hungering frenzy he might be able to lob a wight around, if not, I'll come up with something else. :P

It's a battle. One side is made of zombies and doesn't have any blood to spill, but the other side is mostly living creatures that bleed plenty.

Can ghouls get nourishment from zombie flesh?  I figured they're not too picky in that aspect, but thought I'd check.

I had a few thoughts about that and I realized that I wasn’t certain if ghouls can assimilate magical abilities or only physical traits. I tried to think as if they could, but then it occurred to me that barrow wrights, like most wrights, have a more or less random body, that could be anything. Meaning the magical abilities it has are not tied to the actual body but to the souls. So unless the multitude of souls alter its physical form in a way, can The Gorger get anything out of consuming the vessel?

No, Ghouls only gain physical traits from things they devour. They can get sharpened teeth of a vampire, but can't gain any of its supernatural abilities. It doesn't get any magical abilities from eating anything unless said magical ability is actually part of their physiology. Like a dragon. Eating a dragon would give him its flame-sacs. Not that that's foreshadowing or anything.


As for nourishment; flesh is flesh. Rotting flesh tastes like crap, but it's still flesh.

I just need some clarification here. Is the nuckelavees phalanx coming from the direction The Gorger is pushing the wights?

They're coming from the direction of the ship. If you've changed direction, then no.

Yeah I probably should've mentioned I intended for him to be going the same way as the nuckelavees.

I want to clarify that the Holy Light spell, does not set undead on fire. The burning effects last only while the undead are within the light.

I think the nuckelavees are on our side (tamer pets), but I'm not entirely certain.  Either way the targets are undead though.

Yes, yes they are.  Wu would be in quite an awkward position if they weren't :o

I am not sure how I should do this so I am writing here first. Since my character doesn’t have an actual “bless” skill. My thoughts are on using extreme conditioning on the group of archers. Am I allowed to do that? Or should I write a post where Rau blesses some arrows?

Mind if I sort of pass on this one?  I already kind of did the preparation post, and I feel anything past that might seem forced or repetitive since I kind of jumped the gun.

I think the lot of you may like the new character about to be introduced, who isn't part of the current company. I modeled him with someone very specific in mind that you may or may not recognize.

Oh, real quick: I'm going to have Gorger use his Predator ability to gauge his (the cloaked man's) strength in comparison to the strongest person he can detect in the crusade's ranks.  Any info on their levels of power will do.
