Little is known of the uncharted land of Orenthar. But, with one of the two greatest empires of the civilized world looking to stake a claim to the land and its supposed riches and resources, many would-be explorers have answered the call to make the journey to the new world. It's a long trip by boat, and all voyages to Orenthar are first stopping at the Merchant Guild's off shore rig. You are one such brave adventurer, seeking work as part of an exploratory expedition.

This is a quest I am kind of using as a pre-alpha test to a co-operative tabletop style game I am attempting to work on. As such, there will be segments focusing on grid based combat. Since I have not had a chance to test any of these rules yet, please bare with me during these segments.

If successful, target rolls 1D6 each time it makes an attack action for 1D3+1 rounds. On a 1-2, their attack action automatically strikes an adjacent ally, or misses as they swing at a hallucinated foe if no adjacent ally is available."

Apothecary

Mixes well with our gas me thinks
>>
No. 1028612 ID: 96c896

The gas requires us to be adjacent to the victim. Apothecaries won't be targeted unless they attack first, which means if we use the gas, we will be vulnerable and also next to an enemy.
It works best with a melee combat role or someone that doesn't mind getting into melee briefly, so either Ruffian, Dragoon, Militant, or Hunter. Non-winged Engsami are Tough so they work very well in the tank role.

Militant.

I'm kind of feeling Archeology for some reason.

As for name, I think something short and simple would suit us best. Something people can easily call out if they need help sounds most fitting for an apothecary.

I'm thinking Oliver, or Olly for short.

Language lore, the best way to map unfamiliar lands is to ask the locals, and it's best to know when they are using nouns and not proper nouns.

"Ah, an Apothecary! Yes, very good, The Customer will be in high demand in Orenthar! Many likelihoods for one to be injured in the wilds. Now, It believes there is just one more question to ask. Could The Customer please provide any other additional areas of expertise, and sign The Customer's name, please.

>Please select 1 additional skill to begin with. Additional skills may be gained, and/or improved, through Advancement later. Additionally, please suggest a first name for the male Engsami Apothecary, one will, likely, be randomly selected unless multiple suggestors back a single name.

> EXTRA SKILL
As we wish to be hands-on with the cartography (and there doesn't seem to be a dedicated skill for that), I'd pick Language Lore. (We'll definitely want to hire people with Find Trap/Secret, Tracking, and Archeology, though. Second opinions are important!)

Actually, is it possible to write in a Cartography skill? Whatever the case, let's hope our Mind stat is decent, of course.

Would first aid complement our profession or would it be redundant? Depending on the answer my vote is either this or technomancy. I guess we have some interest in the inner working of thing, living or not.

considering how savage some engsami clans can be I'd like to think that if we do get cooking as a skill we would joke that anyone we can't save we can turn into rations.
