fail as in she didn't beat the cadavaer man. Not really "failed" just didn't "win"
And yeah, you can take more than one wound. At least that's how I've always interpreted it. Do you disagree or have something that says otherwise? In the ED 1st edition it doesn't really say either way. Plus it makes things nice and rough IMO. What do you think?

Think I will. I'm used to being able to supply visual aids, and obviously can't over this. Will work on clarity.

It's open to speculation, that's true. In my campaign we play that you can get only one wound per hit, but I'm fine with your interpretation/ rule too.
One thing to bear in mind is that I've only either DMd ED or taught the person that was DMing. SO if something is different , fel free to bring it up.
We had a longer discussion on the question if one can get more then one wound. In the end, it boiled down to "gamemaster's call".
Here's what the EPC of RedBrick says:
If a character suffers a number of Damage Points from a
single attack equal to or greater than his Wound Threshold, he
also takes a Wound.

"a" wound would mean one.
But that jsut seems so .. weak.... I dunnoo, mayeb we should put it to a vote
I always like my gaems a bt more lethal

Even though I'm a player, I've always thought being able to take more then one wound gave the game a little more depth. So, I guess I would vote for being able to sustain multiple wounds... why do I have the feeling I will regret this position later?
Hey, those wounds can be inflicted on others jsut as well. I can think of a number of nasty horrors that took a real bad hit that put a few wounds on them taht saved a few of your characters.
As for Joppstown, your rough map of the area puts it right next to the villa\ge of Vanten, where you're headed, as well as Amden and Coel.

Joppstown is the soutern most town in the 4 villages of Amden's Valley. Amden being the western most, Vanten the northern, and Coel the eastern most, up in the foot hills of the Thunder Mts.

The campaigns I GM'ed where lethal enough with even "only one wound per hit".... But I'm fine with your rule - as you said, we can inflict it on others too.

what is this "lethal enough" you speak of?
Most of the time combat ends wth at least one character unconscious and the rest having several wounds. And I killed more then a dozen PCs in the last five years of playing (most of them in the first two years, but my players still remember that).
I feel that I have perfected the fine art of bringing people right to the brink of death but just knocking on the door. It's a fine art I've honed over the years.
STill love to hear some of your GM ing stories though.

I don't like to kill characters, but from time to time it happens. And it reminds the players that even mid- to high-circle characters are mortal.
In the next session, they're going after a Horror that is similar to Chantrel's Horror. Wonder how they're going to manage the battle (that will happen in the Astral space).

I live for the details man.
I'm pretty careful to avoid killing . I don't mind droping someone, but try to hold back that last blow. But sometimes, well ,dice don't lie. But I cna't remember the last time I killed a chracter as GM.
Well, ,except for the one guyy that got caught after killing abunch of lone star. He got the chair. BUt not a lot of in combat deaths.

I'll let you know how the fight with the Horror turned out. Oh, and what happened when the Blood Elf with amnesia comes back to Blood Wood after his 11 years of absence (and he still doesn't know if he fled, was exiled or something else 
).
Killing a character shouldn't happen too often, but as you say: sometimes there's no other way...

I try to be generous with last chanc ecsalves. THe closest I think was when the thief jsut forgot to lok for a trap in a tower and fell throug hte illusioned floor about 4 stories, and the false floor below dropeed out on to broken furniture.
THat's what happens when you mess around in an illusionists old hide away
but I let him spend all his recovery tests and use a last chance salve

Illusion magic is sooo cool.
Last chance salves are a nice bonus for a last recovery test, but they don't help if a character is 30 points or so over his death rating.. or when the character with the salves is far away...

Grinder, hope you've got a chance to look at the other threads. WE're geting BttF 2 caught up nicely here. Everything is coming together just perfect.
We've been having fun over at "In With the Family" today, geting some good ol plottin' taking care of. And then there's the stuff going on in BttF 1. Cross over threads are fun.

I'll have to dig through BttF1 tomorrow.
It's been funny stuff. Hood, SinN's charcter is so self centered he doesn't even realize it. And Dr Holder, Callidus' character is just hilarious. He's so out of his element, and does it very well. Good times all around.
How big is the village we're in right now?
The village proper can probably accomadate around 100 tightly. In your experience, villages like this rarely have that many within it's borders. But have half again as many on the out lying farms.

Ok, turning in for the evening now. It's about 2:30 am here. Enojy guys. Callidus, this should give you a chance to catch up on your reading! Could alway go over to In WIth The Family for more mayhem.

Ok, I think I know what's going on with poor Alexander. I don't know enough about ED to be sure though. Is that shadow thing a horror or just a particularly nasty spirit? Either way, I am trying to decide how to have Alexander react; however, I need to know what he knows about the world so that he can act out of his knowledge and not some metagaming.

well... his first guess would likely be a horror. They're the bed time nightmares, the boogie man, the worst. it could be a horror physically there, but possession is also very common or "Horror marking" where thy're not acutally possessing, but they have a link, and can do things like talk to you, take control, etc.

Well, I figured that the old man was either an Illusionist or a "powerful NPC from outer space" - either way, he's not traceable, I'm sure. So why bother?

There should always be a "yours" and a "mine" in a relationship. At least, that's what my ex-ex-girlfriends always said... no that she didn't care about her own advice.
Yeah I hear that. Unfortunately I seem to be on the losing end at the moment. We're usually pretty good about 'sharing', but for some reason, the remote and the computer always seem to be the points of contention.

| "powerful NPC from outer space" - |
I odn't believe in "powerful NPC from outer space" . Everyone comes from somewhere and is there for a purpose. I don't believe in "Ultimate NPC's" that are there jsut to be super powerful and intimidate.
Edit: And jsut to confuse you more I didn't bring the old man in as a character. Someone else did.

At least you know where your "problems" are
Well, I wasn't thinking that the NPC was rules-breaking or such. Just that Ralo doesn't have the possibilites to track him - or the time. Getting to the other village is of more importance.
All will become clear in time Elder.
Oh, how I love that sentence.
Ya know, I just noticed.... there's a lot of emoticons when we talk.
And there's a reason that you didn't get "much information" as well. Besides the GM being vague to add mystery.
