Screw that! We're a Nazirite, like Samson, a mighty hero who slew men by the dozens and was a colossal dick to his enemies. Swordplay should let us start our foreskin collection in earnest. E: we're in not-Venice judging by the book cover. I say we boot some of these assholes into the open sewers they call canals if we get the chance.

The city crest is even a winged lion, so they're not even subtle about that. Also: be canny.

Cathulhu posted:The city crest is even a winged lion, so they're not even subtle about that. Are you saying that the book that has both a "Kill the Judain" chant and "take them to camps at the city outskirts" in the first 5 paragraphs is not a subtle one?  Let's be what the author is not (cunning).

It's not like the Nazis were ever the only people to have anti-Jew pogroms. Martin Luther (the man who started the Protestant reformation) got laws similar to the one in this book pushed through and wrote a lot of racist poo poo. Everybody ever has hated and murdered Jews, p much. E: It's more or less accurate to the semi-historical fantasy vibe they've got going.

301 posted:Only a rogue like you would know how to save yourself. Slipping your dagger from your sleeve you step sideways and grab a timid-looking young woman, richly dressed, away from her aged retainer. You hold the blade to her throat. You are lucky, she is the only daughter of a nobleman and the soldiers check, fearful of her father's wrath.  : OK, where's the next nobleman's daughter? I'm sure this city has enough of them scattered around to leapfrog myself to the city walls...Page 38 posted:People turn to stare as you run past and then take up the hue and cry as they are engulfed by the mob that pursues you. You run on, your lungs beginning to hurt. They are not closing but you don’t know how much longer you can keep going like this. Every time you see a likely place to hide there seems to be someone else there. You turn a corner and run on in the direction of the main gate where the trade road enters the city. Behind you can hear the sound of hoofs on the cobbles. A squadron of the Overlord’s cavalry is giving chase. Ahead there is a drinking house, outside is a horse tethered to a post. : ...any chance this is some noblesteed's favored foal?Character Sheet posted:Jay 'The Hammer' Sherman the Nazirite

Drinking house. We are tired, thirsty and have had enough of this poo poo. With luck there will be help or shelter again. If not, we can still steal a horse.

237 posted:The horse looks skittish. Its chestnut flanks are darkened by sweat and its eyes dart about nervously while it snorts and fidgets. It seems to be afraid of something. Show of hands of those who thought 'WILDERNESS LORE' wasn't going to see much use on our adventure through not-Venice. *Sheepishly acknowledges less than 100% familiarity with the book* Page 226 posted:You know a little bit about horses and can ride tolerably well. Looking at the horse you see it is flinching from its own shadow. Taking its bridle you turn it till it is facing into the sun so it can no longer see its shadow. Mounting safely, you can give the horse free rein: it surges into a gallop and you hang on grimly. Luckily for you the road to the main gate is straight. Within a few minutes you can see the wooden arches of the double gate ahead. People jump aside at the last moment from the path of your frothing mount.  : Wonder if there's much market for horseflesh out here?Page 302 posted:It is unusual for travelers to walk alone on the trade route. Brigands live in hill forts to the north of the road. Their crenellated keeps survey great sweeps of land from which they come down on poor travelers like wolves on the fold. They plunder the merchant caravans, doing battle with the mercenary guards. Walking alone you are not safe. : Great forest?

Page 14 posted:You leave the road and head into the rich farmlands that lead towards the valley of Burg and the great forest beyond. These green hills and dales with their farmsteads, mills and vineyards are the breadbasket of the decadent city of Godorno.
