  1. Yes. See the RQ Bestiary. In addition to standard demons, it has nyctalopes, Hollri, and the Crimson Bat. This is with the caveat that The term “demon” encompasses a wide array of Underworld spirits.
  2. We were at Pickering Psychopathic Hospital last night, visiting Cecil Hunter. Dr Ronayne was very helpful in answering the groups questions, while Jacob (our MU Janitor) took some time to visit his old friend and groundskeeper Eric Sykes. Much hilarity ensued when they recalled their youthful mishap with a plank. (It was fantastic to have all the information at my fingertips and a plan of the hospital.) Now I just need an Arkham Deck...

  4. No. It teaches that Chaos is, in itself, neither evil nor inimical. It makes a person free from automatic fear of Chaos and the obsession to destroy it. (from Cults of Terror and The Lunar Way). One of the special abilities that some illuminates have, is that with a successful illumination skill roll they will not register with Sense Chaos.

    Otters ...

    Otter refs on the Well of Daliath: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/?s=otter See also Heort and a salmon and otter ghost, page 123, Heortling Mythology. This explains why there are no otters in the Creekstream River or Choralinthor Bay Lutrai is pretty specific to Blood Over Gold (and hasn't appeared anywhere since - so giant intelligent otters is likely the best thing to search for
  6. The system is Arduin Grimoire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduin The original post is archived here: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/notes-on-jar-eel-the-razoress-i/ "From Wyrm’s Footprints (1995) artist Dan Barker, and originally Wyrms Footnotes #02 (1977)"
  7. This is effectively Call Founder (RBM 21 and LB 147) where the emergency is so great an avatar or (as @Nick Brooke says) a khan heroforms Waha. This is mainly so he can appear on the board in the Hero Wars or other earlier event: Waha has no combat factor, a very high magic factor, a good move and disrupts chaos units automatically. (Disrupted units may not move nor attack)
  8. That's actually Jaldon!
  9. As movement points are based on the slowest member of the group. For heavily armed and armoured adventurers on foot we had a -1 penalty. We always assumed that no one wore a full helmet. As most groups moved at 8 (mules and guards), it was never an issue, as most were lightly armed and armoured.
  10. Matthew also takes it out to play. I suspect he will bring it again to Continuum 2024 (UK) with a virtual headset, so you can walk around inside the model.
  11. See Matthew Cole's 3D reproduction for his upcoming book Vistas of Pavis over on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/781629412619888/ Here are a few recent images (click to enlarge):

    Sun Temple

    It sounds like it's based on the Konark Sun temple with only 10 wheels instead of 24 (5 seasons, instead of 12 months) , so maybe it's smaller. It's easier to see in a 3d model: https://www.3ds.com/progress-is-human/heritage-and-future/konark-sun-temple this one doesn't have the larger tower at the back, but I like it better https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/konark-sun-temple-jagmohanaodisha-6a5493c95d1d462f9861d28f86b774ae The wikipedia article isn't that clear : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konark_Sun_Temple
  13. For the spreads I just extracted the pages from the pdf as images slid them together (removing the boarder and printed out at A3.
  14. That's what they have - their counter in WB/RM is mounted:
  15. See RQG, Benefits of Being a Shaman, Learning Spirit Magic, page 357. They likely know some spirit magic already, now they can get most spirit magic at the rate of one per day. They are likely able to fill their CHA within a week. Yes, for example Hearth Mother teaches Ignite.
  16. I've only used the smoky glow visible only to Humakti No, unless it's Discourtesy to a guest in your hall or home. per the Honor table (RQG 234) In my games it has been used pro-actively, with the caster asking if they will tell the truth under the spell. The innocent always say yes. Saying no in this magical would to Humakti clearly means you are going to lie. I'd suggest there's no honor problem here. Honor for Humakti is all about fighting and war. See: Lightbringers, Honor and Combat, page 108 Articles on Honor
  17. Camels seem to exist only on the Shadow Plateau (Can't remember the source)
  18. Personally, I treat it as when a Foundchild hunter fails to catch their prey - that's a silver deer quest.
  19. There were at least 21 beast tribes (families), the long noses, could be elephants if you want. There are elephants in Teshnos (IIRC), I've always imagined the long noses. as Gomphotheres as elephant is just too obvious.
  20. Cattle raiding is usually limited the those who are in their two year training after initiation, and for those who are behaving stupidly (See Cattle Raid in the GM Screen Pack for a good example). Yes, in the GM Screen pack, adventure book (page 92): The cattle are marked with the Black Spear of Colymar Notes on livestock, page 87 details ownership. Lightbringers 147: Raiding All the Praxian tribes prefer to capture and eat the beasts of other tribes rather than their own. The raiding of tribe against tribe is a regular feature in their lives. Only in rare cases will there be any mixing. In clans, small mixed herds for dowery purposes are kept separate until needed, then eaten as part of the marriage event.
  21. It's that Foundchild eternally hunts the Silver Deer, but never catches it. See the box on 271 of Borderlands and beyond. It's the lunars that trap it using foreign magic. I wrote this for a game: During the Lunar advance into Prax, an Orogerian hunter came upon the Silver Deer in salaseh. Through its silver form she saw Purendi, and so he was distracted by her hunting call and was hers. See the Entekosiad for explanation.
  22. I love how WRBM is still so relevant today: (Colymar, Foot Militia, Mounted Militia and Two Ridge Farm) Do you think the Mounted City Militia has a better combat factor and Move due to better resources? I can also imagine the Malani unit is smaller, but packs the same punch.
