But also cus there is a game that has fun lore and interfering creatures and characters I think could be fun to adapt but dont know so much on how  to do it.

But here are the stats for a pretty average human spearman Levy:

HP: 5 Str: 4 Morale: 3 Magic Resist: 4 armor 0

Initiative in game is based on weapons so this dude spear being 6. Higher value goes first.

Here is an example of an elite unit

Hp: 17  str:6 Morale:7 magic resistance: 6 armor: 3

A goblin:

Hp: 2 str: 3 morale:3 magic Resist:3

High Level Caster:

Hp: 5 str: 4 Morale: 9 magic resist:9

Bear:

Hp: 28 str 7 Morale 5 magic resist 2

Gryphon: 

Hp 106 str 9 Morale 8 magic resist 2

Imp:

Hp: 6 str: 2 morale: 3 magic resist: 6

Demon:

Hp: 50 str: 6 morale: 8 magic resist: 7

Prince of Hell( god tier)

Hp: 107 str: 8 morale 15 magic resist: 12

Wanted to give a variety of examples and can provide more if needed

Animal Stats:

For NPCs, I'm going to more fully emphasize something I've toyed with in the past.  I'm going to post up here very partial stat blocks, for things you guys will need to roll "for the party."  Full stat blocks will not be posted unless/until they become more fully integrated into the party.  

All skills are listed as TOTAL bonuses for typical usage for quick reference convenience, rather than by ranks.

Boh - a massive ogre draped in heavy armor, Boh has great confidence in his ability to tank and will charge into combat with minimal hesitation
+5 init
+1 longsword&ax 2d8+3 (although Boh dual wields, he is not trained in it, and makes one simplistic attack with both weapons at a single target)
Survival +6
Navigation +7

Talas - a nimble flamboyantly dressed human woman, Talas will readily call out danger, but will seek cover and hide rather than engage whenever possible
+5 init
+4 cutlass 1d6+2 (Talas also has a number of performing knives and seems to understand a basic fencing stance, but does not have a powerful swing)
Spot +7
Listen +7
Balance +9
Stealth +8

"Anyone wanna play Fox & Geese? I'm a really good teacher. Arthure beat me in the first game involving was teaching him! And the guy I taught Haft Sang beat me in the first game, too! Maybe i should've been a teaching major. Oh well. Who's up for a game?"

Also if these incense are normal as IRL incense then as part of my nightly set up of the campsite, I will first light an incense, rotating nightly for scent. 

testing make sure dis coding works

The city is centralized in the red circle while DSU is located at the north end of the forest.  It's a full two day walk from one to the other, and is considered... relatively safe?  as safe as travel can be perhaps?

I'll leave it up to your guys if you want to start next week's sesh at DSU or just arriving in Varangia proper.

Subject: Senior Thesis: Spirits, Hierarchy, and Vital Goods

My associates, Arthure, Asterilla, Hyla, Jayne, Valorian, and I have come to an agreement on our project, to settle a new outpost in the world using our combined knowledge, skills, and majors. Arthure is trying to prove the value of necromancy. Asterilla parallels mine in bringing spirits and people together, but diverges from there. Hyla wants to prove the benefits of physical activity at a young age later in life. Jayne would like to progress farming and agricultural techniques and practices. Valorian is .

Ooc: will edit once everyone's come up with their thesis.
