Expeditions

A party goes out and comes home after a set time with a win or a loss. Voyages sail in the guild’s boat.

The chance of a win

• Party power equal to the place’s difficulty gives 50%.
• Every 10% of power above that adds 5%. Every 10% below takes 5% away.
• The chance is never below 5% or above 95%. A journey always gets there.
• It’s fixed when the party sets out.

Power

• 2 for each level of the style a member fights with: Melee with a sword (or nothing), Range with a bow, Magic with a staff.
• Each piece of gear adds its tier’s power. See Combat.
• A little for Defence and Hitpoints: 0.3 for each level of Defence past 1 and of Hitpoints past 10.
• Some necklaces, traits and perks add more.
• The combat triangle. Each place’s foes fight in one style. A member whose style beats theirs adds 25% of their own power; one whose style loses to theirs gives up 25%. Melee beats Range, Range beats Magic, Magic beats Melee.
• At sea, sea power counts too: what necklaces and traits add at sea, and the boat’s own power.
• Friends in the same party add a little to the chance. See People.

Food

A party can take one food for each member. Each adds its bonus to the chance. See Food.

Losing

A lost fight on land leaves one of the party hurt for 1 h. A failed voyage just turns back. Some loot only comes from a win.

The dragon

A dozing Dragon adds to the chance. Any dozing dragon lets you watch the trip and shorten it, and it can be sent to fetch a party home early.
