Adventurer Theories

This is the page for the community to use to list their theories on adventurer actions, and what effect they have. Feel free to help out.

Sages

I've only run into one kind of sage in the region I'm in, but run into this one a number of times. Perhaps only one kind of sage per region?

Investigation and Hunting

Just starting some research on this.

• What are the various texts one can see on investigation? Which is the order of "less to most"?
• What are the various sizes of monster/undead you can encounter? How do they relate to the investigation report?
• When do you meet large monsters or undead champions? Any correlation to any of the above?

Investigation Texts

Each investigation gives two results: what you hear about monsters and what you hear about undead. The possible results are

• You hear nothing about Type.
• The few rumours you hear about Type are unreliable and old.
• There are some rumours of Type
• You hear rumours about Type and a few who claim to have seen them from afar.
• There rumours of Type and some apparently reliable reports.
• There are many rumours about the Type, and you encounter several eye witnesses of recent appearances.
• This region appears to have a definite Type problem. You find enough evidence and traces to be sure.
• Type are roaming the countryside, and the locals stay within the settlements. You have seen signs of Type activity yourself.

Encounter Texts

Monsters:

• you finally encounter a small group of monsters.
• you finally encounter a large group of monsters.

Undead:

• you finally find a few disorganized undead.
• you finally find a small group of undead.
• you finally find a large group of undead.
• you finally find a large and organized undead group.
• you finally find an organized unit of undead.
• you finally find a small undead army.
• you finally find an organized undead army. They are lead by an undead champion, an evil creature with more power and intelligence than the usual lot.

Battle Texts

Monsters:

• The battle rages, you against the monsters. Your blows land true and you strike most of them down, while a few manage to flee.
• You fight with everything you've got - but the monsters turn out too strong or too many for you. And then things start to go badly. You can not get away from them, and find yourself surrounded! You fight on, and they beat on you. You finally manage to break free and run for your life. You are exhausted and have suffered bruises and minor injuries, but nothing serious. A little rest and you will be ready again.

Undead:

• The battle rages, you against the undead. Your blows land true, shattering them to dust left and right.
• You fight with zeal and strength - but the undead are unimpressed. They feel neither pain nor fear, but you do. Lots of it. Finally, you manage to break free. You run for your life - and escape.
• You fight with zeal and strength - but the undead are unimpressed. They feel neither pain nor fear, but you do. Lots of it. Then you give up trying to defeat them and you only try to get away - but you find yourself surrounded! You fight on, desperately trying, and they beat on you without end. After what seems like eternity, you manage to break through their ranks. Exhausted and bleeding from many small cuts, you escape. A little rest and you will be ready again.

Resting

Is the rest for each hour a linear function or a polynomial? Supposedly resting is more effective when done for longer, and Tom insists the formula is not linear. Anyone is welcome to help out with recording different effectiveness.

Sleeping

Nr. of hours:	On the Floor	On a Bedroll	In a Tent	Primitive Room	Common Room	Private Room
3hrs	(4-5) fatigue	5 fatigue		8/9 fatigue	9 fatigue	11 fatigue/12 fatigue
4 hrs	6 fatigue	6 fatigue, 7 fatigue	7 fatigue	10 fatigue, 11+ fatigue	12 fatigue	<16< fatigue
5 hrs	7 fatigue, 8 fatigue	9 fatigue	9 fatigue	12 fatigue 13+ fatigue	15 fatigue	21+ fatigue
6 hrs	8 fatigue 6 fatigue?	11 fatigue 10 fatigue?	12 fatigue	15 fatigue 16 fatigue 10 fatigue?	15+ fatigue 19 fatigue	16+ fatigue 23 fatigue
7 hrs	8 fatigue			17 fatigue	22+ fatigue	31 fatigue
8 hrs	11 fatigue	13 fatigue		18+ fatigue	28+ fatigue	32+ fatigue
9 hrs	13 fatigue		16 fatigue	23+ fatigue
10 hrs	14-15 fatigue	16 fatigue				37 fatigue
11 hrs	16 fatigue
12 hrs	18 fatigue			29 fatigue
13 hrs
14 hrs
15 hrs				+35 Fatigue
16 hrs	22
Linear Progression?	1.5/hour -.5	2/hour -1	1.8/hour -.2	2.33/hour +1? 2.5/hour ?	3.33/hour -1.33	4/hour

The results also seem to be somewhat variable. Different results have been reported for the same hours/conditions. Perhaps based on how well-fed you are?
