This game is a Dungeon Fantasy Adventure - Monster Hunters combo. The idea is that the heroes travel around from place to place in a very serial series of adventure. The heroes hear about a job, research the problem and/or monsters there and then go there and 'deal' with the monster(s). | This game is a Dungeon Fantasy Adventure - Monster Hunters combo.

− | + | The heartland are settled by Humans and Halfling along with shattered Gnome communities of mines and trinking factories. To the north is the '''Greenwood''', a huge ancient forest home to Elves, Half Elves and Halflings. Far to the northwest is a huge near unpassable '''Iron Spear Mountains''', home to numberous Dwarf and Gnome holds and underground cities. Ogres, whom are semi-allied with the Dwarves, also wander their ranges, raising their large sized moutain goats. To the far east is the '''Great Sea of Grass''' where Orc tribes make their lives hearding their cattle and oxen while the Cat Folk live as Hunter-Gathers following the wild yak and reindeer on their migration routes. | |
Iskirovo is a large nation but is light population with most living in small scattered and isolated villages or towns. There are only three large cities, all focusing more on trade, then on defense or rulership. They are - '''Dmintsy''', the capital of Iskirovo. It is somewhat centrally located with numberous guilds and merchant houses based here. '''Zhaeson''' is located to the southwestern part of the country on the '''Irieford River''' which cuts far into the west where the goods of more 'civilized' lands run. The smallest of these cities is '''Vrustol''' located on the far eastern boarders witth the Great Sea of Grass. It is an important trading hub between Iskirovo and the tribes of Orcs and Cat Folks but it is also located on the '''Long Spice Road''' which leads to the strange exotice lands of the far east that trade in spices, jade and ivory. Many exotic wares are found and sold here. | Iskirovo is a large nation but is light population with most living in small scattered and isolated villages or towns.

Heavy Plate Armor, Tricorn Caps, Edged Rapiers, slick rain Longcoats, Top Hats, fancy Velvet and Silk Gloves and Stage-Cariage Coaches take criss-cross the lands. The dress of the peasants to the noble favors the look of the 15th or 17th century England/France time peirod maybe with a good dose of Eastern European in the names, feel, looks and sytle. |

On the first round Bob does Shield Rush on it, Shield-14 [rolls a 10] and Damage 1d+1, +2 for the DB of the Shield [rolls a 7]. If that's enough to knock the ant down or back great. Otherwise on Round 2 will "Step and Attack" the Art Warrior. Bob's attack rolls with his Broadsword-20. As he is a Weapon Master I am Rapid Attacking each round, so -3 to each attack. On Round 2 I am trying to hit the Ant Wariors in the Face (-5). Round 2 and 3 [rolls a 12, a 10, a 9, a 15 and a 4]. If Bob hits with any of those Damage 2d+7 cutting [rolls a 10, 14, 11, 15 and 13]. For Defenses Bob will default to Parry with this Broadsword (parry-16) and with Weapon Master only suffers 1/2 the penalty for multiples Parries in the same round [rolls 12, 14, 8, 10, 11 and 12]. If he falls below 14 he will then Block (14-) on that round with his shield or if that is his only defense option (has to Dodge this attack), Dodge (11-). If more rolls are required [roll 10, 13, 9]. |

If the character rolls a crit I GM will probably use the next 3d6 roll listed as the crit result on the Critical Table.

These are not necessarily the skills required to defeat monsters – just the ones required to answer questions about them (including how to defeat them)." |
