((Good job on finishing the perks for classes. I'm excited to see the racial perks as well. Will you set up a perk tree later on, or should we find out the perks on our own? Also, revamped alchemy sounds good, maybe we can make a few new health potions somewhere down the line.))

Oh crap. Damn, I really hope the other party can handle this. It's virtually a 3 on 2, both being the first time the party was separated during combat(barring Godric against the rat), and the first time they've fought multiple enemies. I do believe Jeck is carrying a bill(spear) however. How close is Kaleth, Godric, and Lancaster from the rest of the party? Would they have heard Jeck's scream? Even then though, it would likely take a turn or two for them to arrive.))

((Unfortunately them being on the boarder of the ruins and the town outskirts and Kaleth's party being in the merchant district, the scream wouldn't be able to be heard. However, since the party who is near the ruins had to travel some distance, and the party who are making things did not, they take place at much different points of time. That being said, if you choose, you may wait until the shop closes before making said objects, but by then the fight will either be well in action or over with, for good or ill.

Edit: I have added the perks for you guys who are combat lv 2.))

((Ah, I see. I suppose we'll just go about our business as if nothing happened then. For the perks, is the 1% rounded up? For example, does the Armor Penetration perk reduce an enemy's armor from 10 to 9 on the first hit, but then the armor remains at 9 until I reduce 11% of armor? Or is it per hit, reducing armor by 1 per tick of damage? Additionally, does the perk work with spells and other forms of damage(such as spells, or damage-over-time abilities)? In any case, I am very excited.))

Kaleth looked at the man with a strange mix of suspicion and respect. This man was battle-scarred, and for that, he had Kaleth's respect, but the man's warning did not fall on deaf ears. The Thragon warrior looked to the shopkeeper before speaking again.

"Very well then. Perhaps we can do some trading in the meantime?" Kaleth suggested. "We have accumulated a bit of materials that might prove suitable for usage."

((It is the former. It does indeed work with spells, so long as you are able to do any damage with said spell.))

Aye! I am sure my master would be willing to do the dealings. I am just the last bloke who tried to do some funny business here and got caught. I serve her as the easier part of my punishment." His scares became more apparent. He limps to the back of the shop and calls out loud and clearly. "Master! There are some customers here who need your assistance."

A middle aged Dwarven woman came from the back and walked up to the counter in front of Kaleth. "ello! How can I serve you sers."

((Another question, does Lancaster simply have to be present to get the base price perk bonus, or does he have to perform the trade himself?))

The man's response elicited a small chuckle from Kaleth. Such was the punishment for thieves and other such criminals. Though the Thragon warrior was slightly disappointed at the fact that the man was probably not a combat veteran or something of the sort. Kaleth smiled at the shopkeeper as he reached for his pack.

"Ah, greetings. We have a bit of material here that we've accumulated on our journey. Perhaps we can have a deal of sorts?"

((He has to perform the trade himself.))

The lady smiles at Kaleth. "Certainly! What do you got for me?"

((Sorry guys. I know I haven't been active recently. I guess Lancaster is just standing like he's seen a ghost from the dwarven shop keep?))

((I suppose we can write it off as if you were just silent the entire time and just decided to speak up now. In any case, we need you to ask for the prices of Wood, Bark, and Rhodolite. We'll most likely sell some the wood and bark specifically and keep the rhodolite unless the price is particularly good.))

((I might be off soon and wont be back until Thursday.))

((Ah, alright then. See you till then. On an unrelated note, how about the name "Sundering Strikes" in the place of armor penetration? To sunder is to split apart or to sever, so it would be fairly intuitive to know that sundering would shred armor and the likes. Maybe the name "Frigid Defiance" to replace Cold Resistance. The name is literally just two synonyms in place of the original however.))

((I do like these names. At this point in time I am just kind of quickly picking names for the perks and will improve them latter on.))

((In the event that Lancaster doesn't move, could he just talk to the shopkeep by default? If all else fails, Kaleth could do it, albeit at a less efficient rate.))

((Popping in so I'm not afflicted.))

((Garwend, Zenowo, and Alyssa are, you know, in a battle against a deranged lunatic and an afflicted Jeck. I'm fairly certain you guys do have the capacity to make actions.))

((Well, I'm still here, waiting for the character's demise. R.I.P. My carefully-balanced character. I'm going to stop role-playing on the forum for a moderate time.))

Okay, Alyssa. Breathe. Breathe! BREATHE!!!! Lungs! Do not fail me! Worst damn timing ever for someone to be afflicted. I took a deep breath in."I'm sorry." I whispered, too quiet for anyone to hear. Just in case those were my last words. Against my better judgement, I sent a fire spell to the crazy lunatic with the stone.

((I think I am going to make hand-hand combat a "weapon" mastery that can be learned. It will be slow to learn, have no positive or negitive perks and do d4 damage.

Jeck

Hp: 9

Melee Attack: 65% of d8

Magic Defense: 1

Mad Thragon (lv 8)

((Initiantive Roll:

Jeck: 11 +11 22

Mad Thragon: 10 +16 26

Alyssa: 8 +7 15

Garwend: 6 +12 18

Zenowo: 6 +13 19))

Before anyone could ready themselves Jeck swipes at Garwend with his bill, hitting his shoulder and spilling the first blood of the battle (inflicting 2 damage). The Mad Thragon follows by launching himself at Alyssa knocking her to the ground (inflicting 1 damage). Zenowo lunges forward the moment his sword is drawn and slashes at Jeck. His sword lands to the side of his chest opposite his heart. It cuts deep (inflicting 5 damage) but Jeck makes no sighs of noticing it.

((Garwend's turn.))

((Since Lancaster seems a little inactive at the moment, I'll perform the trade myself. Additionally, I think there should be some sort of incentive to using unarmed, seeing as equipping any sort of weapon automatically gives you an edge over on unarmed user. Maybe the damage from an unarmed attack should scale by level, causing more damage at higher levels. Or maybe there's no limit to the Mastery level of unarmed abilities, causing them to infinitely scale. Maybe special Monk perks cause unarmed attacks to disarm or stun enemies on hit.))

Kaleth looked to the woman in reply as he reached for his pack, gesturing his companions to do the same.

"Ah yes, we've got this stone we've found somewhere," Kaleth said as he took out the rhodolite and presented it to the shopkeep.

"I believe we've got some fine wood and bark from a tree that our elven friend here harvested." Kaleth said as he beckoned Godric to present the items.

The matter is mostly knowing the price of the items, as Kaleth was planning to make them into augments anyway. If the price was exceptionally high, selling the item would likely prove to be not a completely bad deal.

((54 pages without taking any damage. Now I've finally been attacked, and it's 1 damage. Do the dice love my character? XD))

As Jeck's Bill slashed at Garwend's Shoulder, He could only feel angrier at the affliction rather than his former ally.

"You blasted affliction! We will have our vengence against you!" Garwend hailed at the moment of Jeck slashing his Shoulder.

((I would recommend a park for the Gladiator or Barbarian where the less HP you have in combat, the more damage you deal. This could be applied with multipliers or just raw boosts. I think that would be kind of cool.))
