keithcurtis Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Re: Valdorian Sorcerer Tasks Thread Both, actually. The play is pretty roundly considered Shakespeare's worst, most awful play. It is also considered by many to be the most fun. Done correctly (as in Titus), it is a horrific, wonderful act of blackest comedy. Done poorly, it's an Elizabethan slasher flick.

Markdoc Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Re: Valdorian Sorcerer Tasks Thread OK, here's an easy but potentially debilitating one: "Go into the first tavern you pass after nightfall. Buy a beer and spill it on the first man you see on entering." As a GM, this sorcery system is great. It makes it hyper-easy to introduce NPCs to characters. As in: "Hey, isn't that the guy who spilled beer on you a couple of days ago?" cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Re: Valdorian Sorcerer Tasks Thread Boo-Yah! unto you, Lord Squirrel. What is your portfolio? Major/Life-Threatening: Travel to a specific cave in the western Oceanshore Mountains and start a bonfire. Keep the fire burning one day and one night, then quench the fire with water. Take one fist-size rock that has been cracked from the cave wall, bring it to Elweir and throw it into the Serpentine below the Colossus.

Captain Obvious Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Valdorian Sorcerer Tasks Thread Oh yeah, that last one is a life-threatening task. Another idea: Set a fire under a snow-laden tree, and watch until melting snow puts out the fire. Given the relative lack of snow around Elweir, I'll call this one a major task. It drops to an intermediate task in colder climes, or even trivial if the sorceror just happens to be camping in the wilderness at the time.

keithcurtis Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Re: Valdorian Sorcerer Tasks Thread Take five bricks to Sator's square at dawn. Place one at each corner. Carry the fifth to the first corner, and swap it with the first. Then carry the first brick to the second corner and swap it with the second brick. Do this until sunset, taking no breaks for eating or other bodily necessities. Explain to no one.

keithcurtis Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Re: Valdorian Sorcerer Tasks Thread To be honest, I have no idea where that came from. I meant "Hawker's Square" of course. It just sounds so familiar... [Google][Wiki] Hmm. it's a Latin Palindrome. Somebody musthave used it on a map somewhere and I dredged it out of my memory. Anybody remember?
