Re: The Spider God's Bride - Re-write DONE, FINISHED!

[Prime_Evil]

Hey Wolf,

Does your work on SGB also include a new editorial pass over the text itself? I've just been reading the The Jewell of
Khadum Bey and noticed that certain sections of the text are written in the passive voice or have other minor grammatical issues.

Even the first paragraph of the adventure leads off in the passive voice - never a good sign:

There are discontented nobles in Zul-Bazzir who conspire against the padishah of Khazistan. In secret, torch-lit chambers deep beneath their marble-walled mansions, they scheme and plot to overthrow the great king’s governor, Khadim Bey and to seize control of Zul-Bazzir.
Whispers of treason have reached the bey’s ears but as yet the traitors remain nameless and unknown. To aid the governor, the padishah has sent a personal agent to Zul-Bazzir, to help infiltrate and identify the disloyal nobles.
Through their own spies in the governor’s palace and harem, the scheming nobles know that the royal agent has arrived from Khazabad, posing as a lowly captain of a cavalry squad. To avoid revealing themselves, the rebel nobles need outsiders to assassinate the royal agent and try to set up the player adventurers to do so.

I'm not a professional editor or anything, but to put my money where my mouth is, I'd probably rework the text like this:

Discontented nobles conspire against the Padishah of Khazistan in Zul-Bazzir. They scheme to overthrow the great king’s governor, Khadim Bey, and seize control of Zul-Bazzir in secret, torch-lit chambers beneath their marble-walled mansions.
Whispers of treason have reached the bey’s ears but as yet the traitors remain nameless. The Padishah has dispatched a personal agent to Zul-Bazzir to aid the governor by infiltrating the conspiracy and identifying the disloyal nobles.
Through their own spies in the governor’s palace and harem, the scheming nobles know the royal agent has arrived from Khazabad, posing as a lowly captain of a cavalry squad. To avoid revealing themselves, the rebel nobles need outsiders to assassinate the royal agent and try to manipulate the player adventurers into doing so.

In this sample, I've eliminated the passive voice, removed some repetion, and capitalised the word Padishah because it's a royal titles and the text is referring to a specific holder of the title.

I know that this is all fairly minor stuff and that it is probably too late to alter the text itself, but I just can't help being a grammar nazi even when I'm reading somebody else's work....it's an illness.... :lol:

 

[The Wolf]

I think the book needs a solid editorial pass and I'll be suggesting that to Matt when I'm done. I can only fix the NPCs and so on, not the text, unless it pertains to an NPC or monster (and so on). Otherwise it'd be a huge pain in the neck for layout to deal with.

As is, I'm providing the fixed NPC files and monsters by page number as they appear in the pdf of SGB.

Unless I write a whole new chapter (as I did with magic and the cults chapters) I'm limited to what I can fix in terms of the adventures themselves.

Tentacle Ooze (Envelop): 100%
An Enveloping Ooze attacks by moving next to its intended victim and attempting to envelop him. This attack has a base 100% chance of success, though the victim may use his Evade skill or his Athletics skill to jump out of the way. Using Athletics rather than Evade results in the skill test being Difficult rather than Routine. An Enveloping Ooze’s attack may not be parried – the creature will simply slide around the parrying weapon to engulf its foe. An Enveloping Ooze will wrap itself around one of its victim’s hit locations.
Once an Enveloping Ooze has enmeshed a victim, it will attempt to hang on and continue to inflict acid damage, with every intent of dissolving and consuming its victim. Every round a creature’s hit location is enmeshed by an Enveloping Ooze, that creature will take eight points of acid damage to that location. Armour will protect against this damage until it is dissolved by the Ooze. A character caught by an Enveloping Ooze may attempt to escape by making another Routine Evade or Difficult Athletics skill test.

I polished this one up a bit and checked the numbers mostly. It didn't need a massive amount of work.

Hey Wolf,

Khadum Bey and noticed that certain sections of the text are written in the passive voice or have other minor grammatical issues.

I think that the text you quoted is pretty much copy-pasted from the d20 version, which you would expect from a conversion. Seeing as d20 author Morten Braten is officially the author of the Legend version as well, I don't know if Mongoose is even allowed to alter 'non-mechanical' text.

Having said that, I'm going to hazard a guess and say that grammatical errors are probably not on the top of Darren's and/or Matt's priority list for SGB

 

[The Wolf]

Only where they're part of the monster or NPC description, which can be altered in some cases. Morten is the author, though there are numerous authors who did work on the book and converted all of the d20 mechanics to Legend.

I'm down as the Developer, since I did the very final final conversion. I was the brave soul who said he'd tackle the adventures and Legend system in those adventures. Now I get to play with the NPCs and Monsters - whereas it might have been better if I had been able to rebuild all of them from scratch.

I have been asked to look at another Xoth thing, but I'm the sole-conversion author on that, so expect it will be done in the same vein as the re-written SGB.

That is great news, Darren. I really like the way you have tackled this project and would definitely buy the next Xoth book, if converted to Legend (by you).

 

[The Wolf]

Thank you

Congratulations...This is great news!

Any idea when we will learn what's next for Xoth?

Also, if you get a chance check out Morten's Ancient Mesopotamia sourcebook from Necromancer Games. It's still available in PDF format and is full of swords & sorcery goodness in the same vein as Xoth...

I wanted to make this guy quite nimble, pretty nasty if you let him hide and play stab with your back. He's one of the major antagonists from the adventure and he has a few alchemical tricks/crafts in the d20 adventure which were not reflected in the previous stat-block for him.

There...I fixed that for you:

[The Wolf]

The next adventure is the Eidolon of the Ape. I can see right now the Savage Apes will need a fix and so will all the NPCs. Expect the cult to be drawn directly from the Simatala Cult in the cults chapter and the final bad guy will be toting quite a few of the cult's spells, including a spell which allows him to change into an ape as he's the High Priest after all.

He won't be a pushover.

Tactics: Ranuga prefers to stay back and let his underlings fight, although he quickly steps in if opposition seems stiff, for failing to deal with intruders would limit his chance of advancement in the cult.

Special Rules

If the grapple attack succeeds, the Games Master should resolve combat normally using the grapple rules from the Legend: Core Rulebook. Savage apes will always attempt to inflict pain on any creature they are grappling.

Notes

Savage apes are quite large creatures, with strength in excess of what might be expected even from their massive frames. Apes are naturally quadrupeds, but are also comfortable walking and standing on their hind legs. Savage apes are primarily vegetarian, though they often supplement their diet with insects and the occasional small animal. They are most often found in small family groups led by an old silverback male.

 

[The Wolf]

So as of today we're on the Crypt Thing of Khorsul. This adventure marks the half-way point in the fixes of Spider God's Bride's adventure NPCs and Monsters. I'd like to thank everyone for bearing with me as I plough my way through this monumental task and attempt to provide everyone with a fun set of adventures and source material to add a spin to any S&S campaign.

From the boar (which needed fixing) to the crypt thing itself, this is going to be an interesting set of changes since the one antagonist is a necromancer/sorcerer and as he stands - he's not at all capable of offering a challenge to any Legend character.

That's going to change right now!

New Magic: Bone Dance

Concentration, Resist (Resilience)
The Necromancer Oloth Dai developed this powerful spell many thousands of years ago, it was thought lost to the vaults of time and buried in the ruin of the wizard’s lair. It has been found again and discovered to the detriment of all. The spell appears written on the body of a deceased human male (30 years old) and his preserved skin is inked with the ritual in full. It takes seven full moons for the sorcerer to understand the ritual written on the skin. By the end of the lunar period the sorcerer must make a successful Routine Persistence test or lose 1 point of INT as the spell’s complexity eludes him.
Once the sorcerer understands the spell it appears upon his body as a form of tattoo. He can now remember the spell perfectly.
The sorcerer can target a victim with a maximum CON of three times the spell’s Intensity. If the target fails to resist, each Combat Action they take damage equal to half the Intensity of the spell directly to each location (ignoring armour). Once every location has been reduced to a Major Wound, then the victim’s skeleton rips free of the body in a spectacular manner leaving the skin and organs to drop to the floor.
The skeleton is treated as a typical Legend skeleton though it can obey complex instructions and is completely loyal to the caster.

Bone Dance is a spell I have played with for years and years in one way/shape/form or another. It first turned up in a short S&S story I wrote. I based this variant off the Heart Rip spell from Blood Magic.

 

[Bifford]

Is it just me or does no one in SGB know what armour is........??

 

[The Wolf]

That's because you probably haven't seen the guards and city guards who are clad in various kinds of armours. Many of the sorcerers and cultists are described by Morten (in his adventures) as without armour. Swords and Sorcery in terms of cultists and sorcerers is traditionally low on armour and there are plenty of examples of this in other media. I tend to only post the interesting/sorcerous characters because they were the ones which were really broken.

However people like the guards are usually armed and armoured to the teeth.

Tactics: Zaltutim’s tactics are simple. Like his fellow mercenaries, he attempts to take down as many opponents as possible with his bow first, then leaps into melee with his scimitar.

Zaltutim is described by Morten as having a Breastplate only. His soldiers are clad in studded leather without helmets.

[tarkhan bey]

Hey there Wolf, there's a couple of glitches in the these new characters.

Zalutim wears Plate which should be 6Ap. This may mean a -3 Armour modifier.Also, Breastplate is only one location.

Lord Numas only has seven percent in his Sorcery(Grimoire)? As an advanced skill, should it not be at a bare minimum of Int x2(32%)?

Still doing a great job on this and I look forward to the revised edition becoming available for purchase.

 

[The Wolf]

Should be 77% for Numas (which I'll fix and bold in the thread), thanks for the spot. As for the breastplate, that's been revised since I posted the stats up, thanks again for the spot though! I had cut-pasted the template from the previous document, so the armour locations were messed up and the wrong armour numbers were down.

I always do a second pass on the document once I'm done with it, so I'd have spotted that was missing. It helps having another pair of eyes though honestly.

Cheers

Zalutim's mercs should only have two CA as well.

Drowned foes are ejected from the blood wight’s body into a heap on the ground (the blood wight later devours any creature it kills). A blood wight’s natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Attacks that hit an engulfing blood wight deal half their damage to the monster and half to the trapped victim. An engulfed victim must hold its breath as long as it remains trapped or begin to drown (see the Legend Core Rulebook for the rules on drowning). A trapped victim can break free with a successful Difficult Unarmed skill test. A blood wight’s body can engulf 30 SIZ worth of opponents.
Special: A blood wight is a very dangerous creation, and thus it cannot truly be killed until its creator (Numas) has been dealt with. Until then, it will regenerate fully regardless of the damage done to it...it will find a way out of rockfalls, climb up sheer cliffs to get out of ravines and pull itself back together if dismembered. It takes 2D4 Rounds to regenerate back to full health.
