10/1: Camp out in crone's hut.
11/1: After midnight a Night Thing attacks, plucking Laxus through a window. It seems immune to weapons. Laxus is wounded, but drives it off with the
Light of Mithra. Saya chases it into the dark forest, and is found dead by Rollo. Rollo brings back her body; Ulfdin sees it when he wakes at dawn. Heroes build a funeral pyre for Saya from the crone's hut, and give her a viking funeral. Ulfdin chases & thumps villagers. Laxus & Aliegha retire to the inn, while Ulfdin & Rollo guard the pyre.
After nightfall a second Night Thing attacks, but is destroyed by Ulfdin.
12/1: As dawn breaks, the ashes of Saya's funeral pyre burn low.
Simon N. (GM):type actions please
Simon N. (GM):GM: You demolish the crone's hut, building a massive funeral pyre.
Ulfdin:Ulfdin is cutting trees down and singing a funeral dirge
Simon N. (GM):Ulfdin cuts down nearby trees, they are too green to burn well.
Rollo:prepare her body, to look magnificent. then sit vigil.
Ulfdin:Lo there do I see my father; Lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers; Lo there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning. Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them, in the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever.
Simon N. (GM):Saya still makes an attractive corpse, the two deep piercings in her body are easy to cover.
Laxus Draugnir:"plz Rollo and Ulfdin you cantear down this abandoned hut but leave the forresters hut alone Saya wouldnt want her funeral to affect people of their livelihood"
Ulfdin:Uldin stands vigl with Rollo
Saya:I'm sure Saya would have wanted one of you to take her sword and carry on the fight. Her spirit will be within it, to protect you.
Simon N. (GM):The sun is lowering again by the time all is ready.
Ulfdin:Uldin lights the pyre and hands the torch to Rollo
Rollo:cast the brand onto the pyr
she was too young, so young
Ulfdin:Ulfdin stands and watches the flames while chanting to the gods
Simon N. (GM):The cowardly villagers are hiding again, weapons ready in case Ulfdin comes to bash them again. Ulfdin lights the pyre., the dry wood and debris of the hut catches easily, flames shooting up into the dusk sky.
Laxus Draugnir:"May the nine guard your journey to the afterlife Saya"
Simon N. (GM):The flames enclose the young warrior of Dawnspire, carrying her soul to its final reward.
Laxus Draugnir:"Rollo and Ulfdin lets stay at the tavern for the night"
Ulfdin:Ulfdin slices his palm and takes the ashes. Mixes them with his blood and smears it over his face and head.
"I'm staying out here"
Laxus Draugnir:....sigh..... "but stay close to the funeral pyre hopefully the light will ward off all the night things"
Rollo:eventually Rollo will fall asleep in the smoke of the cooling embers
Ulfdin:Ulfdin stays awake chanting
Simon N. (GM):GM: So Rollo & Ulfdin stay overnight by the pyre while Laxus seeks shelter at the tavern.
Laxus Draugnir went to the tavern and rest there with Aliegha and his cat
Rollo:i will take Saya's blade back to her people
Simon N. (GM):It's just after dark but the innkeeper reluctantly lets Laxus Aliegha & the cat inside.
Saya:Unless one of you would like to use it in memory? Laxus perhaps, I know a longsword isn't particularly a barbarian weapon!
Simon N. (GM):It's only an hour or so after nightfall when Ulfdin sees an elongated silent form at the treeline. Rollo is dozing.
Rollo:the mountain hold-fast of the athletic and bespoke armoured sword sisters
Laxus Draugnir:(the funeral pyre is still burning right?)
Simon N. (GM):Ulfdin do you want to alert Rollo?
Ulfdin:Ulfdin stands and lets out a wolf howl
Simon N. (GM):The pyre has burned down but is still casting red light from low flames yup
Simon N. (GM):Rollo comes awake as the Shadow Dancer advances with impossibly swift inhuman steps
long claws ready to take more lives
Ulfdin:Ulfdin chews his shield and runs at the creature
Simon N. (GM):The firelight doesn't seem to deter it.
Moonlight glistens on its ebon hide.
GM: 1-3 this is the wounded one
Ulfdin:Ulfdin works himself into a frenzy
Rollo:it fears bright light - use the power of Mitra Laxus

Laxus Draugnir:(i guess in a way Saya is avenged)
Ulfdin:Takes the pieces of marble back to put on the ashes of the pyre
Simon N. (GM):The flames seem to burn more brightly as the evil black stone is placed on them. You see an evil green flame rise from them but it is swiftly overwhelmed by clean white fire.

Ulfdin:OOC No worries mate. Speak later
Simon N. (GM):CP: 2 Laxus, 4 Rollo & Ulfdin
Laxus Draugnir:(no worries Rollo)
Simon N. (GM):+1 HP Rollo & Ulfdin
Laxus Draugnir:(im cool with that)
Simon N. (GM):(I know Laxus did the sensible thing, I thought they were dead meat!)
Laxus Draugnir:(i dint know Ulfdin have 6HP)
Simon N. (GM):Jelly do you want to have a go creating a new character?
Ulfdin:I never spend them
Laxus Draugnir:(i been spending them like crazy now i have 0)
Saya:Sorry to hear that Rollo, hope you feel better, big hugs!
Simon N. (GM):Sorry about killing Saya Jelly :\
Saya:Yes I would like to go with something a bit different this time if possible: are there any dragonborn-esque races in Thule?
Simon N. (GM):She did die heroically :)
Saya:It's ok lol I knew I was taking a huge risk. But it's what she would do!
Simon N. (GM):There are Serpentmen and Lizardmen, Troglodytes
No dragonborn as such
Saya:Might be nice to be a reformed lizardman druid or something like that?
Laxus Draugnir:(damn pretty cool)
there are lizardmen living by Thiria keep, theu are neutral, you might see one wandering
Laxus Draugnir:(yeah we really need an intellegent character in the group preferably somebody who can heal)
Saya:Which of the books should i check for that Simon? There's a few Thule books on the Trove website.
Simon N. (GM):most humans have never seen a half elf never mind a talking lizard though!
Saya:I think a lizardman druid or cleric would be a good idea then.
Hehe they're in for a surprise then i think
Simon N. (GM):reptoid perk (costs 1 skill die) - green and scaly, +1 soak. claws give +1 damage brawling.
also great swimmer, can hold breath for an hour.
Take the Sorcerer perks (3 skill dice) to use spells, put 2 of your 3 remaining skill dice on Magic skill, choose 4 spells.
Laxus Draugnir:(damn cool also breath also we can meet her somewhere at the river)
Ulfdin:Ok ladies and gets I am calling i a night. Take care all and speak soon
Laxus Draugnir:(see you next time Ulfdin)
Saya:Bye Rich! See you on Sunday!
Simon N. (GM):Maybe you are sick of the Night Things wreaking your nice forest Jelly?
Saya:Oh yes that's a good idea! I've been sent by my tribe to find help and put a stop to things.
Simon N. (GM):& you were spying on the battle & saw a Night Thing destroyed, for the first time ever.
(oh sweet yeah)
Saya:I shall give it a go creating a character with my Mini 6 book then, can I send it to you to check Simon and am I starting from level 1?
Simon N. (GM):You have 12D for Attributes - you want high Wit
Saya:Oh so I just split up the 12D how I please?
Simon N. (GM):There are no levels, but yes you start with 12 D for attributes and 7D for skills and perks (inc reptoid 1 and sorcerer 3, so 3D skills left)
White Valyrian:yup but dont raise them above 4 i believe
Simon N. (GM):Yes, between 1D and 4D per Attribute. You'll want high Wit (4D) for Magic plus 2D Magic skill gives 6D starting Magic
Saya:Ok I'll write that down. Where can I find more info about the Druid class and what should I pick for my narrative, if any? There's only a very small section on druids in the campaign setting.
Simon N. (GM):Recommend high Might also
There are no classes in Mini Six. You'd be a lizardman shaman/nature priest. Look at Thule book re Narratives, eg Guardian of the Nine would work.
Star Lore Adept if you're a crazy Cthulu worshipping Lizardman :)
Saya:I think Guardian of the Nine prob more apt if I do pick a narrative, but not compulsory I suppose?
Simon N. (GM):yup, but they are free extra powers
you could choose one later
Saya:Ok noted! And where do I pick spells from?
The spells are in the Mini Six rulebook I gave you. :)
NB Healing is good :D
As you'll start with max 6D Magic you'll want mostly spells with a target number of 21 or lower as you roll your Magic vs TN to cast.
Saya:Oh ok great I'll take a look! Yup the pathfinder one is the one I'm looking at now.
Ok noted.
How many spells am I allowed?
Simon N. (GM):eg Light is TN 15, Heal TN is 15 to 23
2 spells per die allocated to Magic skill, Max is 2 dice so 4 spells
Raising the dead via Resurrection spell is TN 60 which needs a maxed out caster plus a bunch of Hero Points for a chance to succeed...
Saya:Well hopefully won't be needing that too soon!
It's been an intense, emotive game today! Sad to see Saya go but looking forward to my new character.
When's the next game Simon?
White Valyrian:thank god we have a healer, now i can focus in combat again
