Starting a Pohansko Q+A here if you have any questions about the scenario and place.
Starting a Pohansko Q+A here if you have any questions about the scenario and place. If I have time I will post some background notes but the basic bullet points are:
1. Pohan one of the few high-level adventurer assholes in HC history cleared out a stronghold in the wilderness in today's Pohansko
2. The site was chosen as there was a nearby cave with occult significance to his weird syncretistic cult (think part Old Pahr Chernobog worship, part neo-Hyperborean New Age religion with neo-primitivist themes).
3. The place is pretty geographically isolated. Cerny Mak mountains to the north, rugged hills all around.
4. The ruler basically fights for rule in a ruthless set of succession contests. So unlike many places is always leveled. Pinc is rumored to be a user of magic though of a dark hue.

5. At game time the second warbear column is still in Marlinko. The first is somewhere around Bad Rajetz, the third near the Dunes.
ReplyDeletewe are starting from revoka? and is this something feral shore and revoca characters can all join in?
ReplyDeletealso can we leave secondarys in revoka that will adventure with those that dont go
ReplyDeleteJames Aulds yes and I thought we'd start in Marlinko for crossover purposes.
ReplyDeleteso who all wants to come from feral shore up.
ReplyDelete1) So the Marlinko column is the one led by Stary Bote? 120 bears and associated allies?
ReplyDelete2) What do we know about Pinc and/or his warrior lodges? How much of a reliance on ceremonial combat is there? (Could a warrior lodge leader perhaps be challenged for leadership of the lodge?)

did the feral shore warbears contengent head up also?
ReplyDeleteHumza K 1. correct.
ReplyDelete2. By their nature they are very secretive and fetish-oriented. But it certainly seems probable that their leaders would duel.
3. Inexplicable. Will send them a corrective email.
James Aulds that's up to you, but likely yes unless there is a reservation.
ReplyDeleteRe: point 2 - Hey cole long how does Taurus feel about taking over a doctrinally-incoherent warrior society with goofy Bronze-Age gear?
ReplyDeleteChris Kutalik are there any other mercs that we can hire while the FS war-bears are away on this campaign? I don't want the FS to be under-strength (and we need some more troops anyhow honestly).
ReplyDeleteHumza K that is the best plan so far for cole long just to take over
ReplyDeleteHumza K i will need to read up before i can give you an answer
ReplyDeleteremember Taurus has a low Charisma
