Herbier de la Terre du Milieu

[Rich H]

I was working on a translation of Caran Gaur with someone a few months back and lost their contact details when updating my PC. We got pretty far (ie, much more developed than Hermes' raw google translate a few posts back) and were pretty much in the final 'translation/read through' stages of the first part. I'm guessing we were closer to a finished translation of the adventure than anyone else currently is.

Will have to dig it out and finish it off.

Hello,

Maybe you're the person who contacted me a few months ago now? If not and if we speak of the same “translation team” I can certainly find the email of this person if it can help.

Do you still have the work done at that time ?

Hi Rich,

if you can find your translation so far, that would be great. I'd only just started, so yours would be a far better basis for completing a translation. Still, happy to help review if you like.

Meanwhile, Hermes Serpent - in answer to your original question about a translation of the Herbier, there is now! I figured knocking out a few pages of text was much more doable in a lunch hour, and yes, you're right - the original is so nice it's a shame not to give it a wider audience.

I'll contact the original authors to see if they would like to use my text for a properly formatted PDF english version.

... No, I think though that the person I was working on it will have been to one that contacted you though, if that helps.

... Sent you a PM, Stuart.

Hi
is Fever Huntress one of the standard special ability and when, were can i find this?

Terrible spell ** : Fever Huntress : p. 239 forces a hero to test for corruption SR 14 ( SR16 for a Killer ) . If the spleen, hero gains a point and undergoes Shadow Fever Huntress. The hero has only obsession have skin Caran Gaur . Nothing else matters for it. In the presence of the werewolf , the hero is owned as : fever obscures its reasoning, it is in defiance of his safety and that of others to achieve its goals . The hero is considered as stock. He must spend a Point Hope to temporarily overcome Fever : 1 point to give up hunting instinct insane ( the wolf continue despite risks immediate , try to kill him instead of rescue a comrade in danger ... ) 1
the point not to be considered Exhausted during a meeting with the Werewolf. The effect lasts until hero kills his prey or until the Fever leads him to his own loss . In So far, Caran Gaur came to the end of all his pursuers ...

Hi ThoGri,

for a while last year, I was trying to translate the 'Caran Gaur' adventures with help from a few others, before I realised I didn't have the time to do it properly. I sympathise with you about the difficulties of translation! As Glorelendil is perhaps hinting, you may get a better response with a new thread specific to 'Caran Gaur'. Who knows, even Caran Gaur himself may pop by! (The author of those adventures uses that as a user name on this forum).

In answer to your question, here's the original and then my translation of the passage you quoted:

Épouvantable sortilège : Fièvre chasseresse : p. 239, force un héros à effectuer un test de Corruption de SR 14 (SR16 pour un Tueur). S’il le rate, le héro gagne un point d’Ombre et subit la Fièvre chasseresse. Le héro n’a qu’une obsession : avoir la peau de Caran Gaur. Plus rien d’autre ne compte pour lui. En présence du loup-garou, le héro est comme possédé : la fièvre obscurcit son raisonnement, il agit au mépris de sa sécurité et de celle des autres pour arriver à ses fins. Le héro est considéré comme Épuisé. Il lui faut dépenser un point d’Espoir pour surmonter temporairement la Fièvre : 1 point pour renoncer à une pulsion de chasse insensée (poursuivre le loup malgré des risques immédiats, tenter de le tuer au lieu de secourir un compagnon en danger…), 1 point pour ne pas être considéré comme Épuisé durant une rencontre avec le loup-garou. L’effet dure jusqu’à ce que le héro tue sa proie ou bien jusqu’à ce la Fièvre ne le mène à sa propre perte. À ce jour, Caran Gaur est venu à bout de tous ses poursuivants…

Dreadful spell: Hunting Fever. A hero must make a Corruption check (TN14, but TN16 for a Slayer). If he fails, the hero gains a point of Shadow and is overcome by Hunting Fever. The hero has but one obsession: to have the hide of Caran Gaur. Nothing else matters to him. In the presence of the werewolf, the hero is as if possessed: the Fever clouds his reason, and he acts without regard to his safety or that of others to achieve his ends. The hero is considered as if Weary. He must spend points of Hope to temporarily overcome the fever: 1 point to overcome a mad impulse to hunt (following the wolf despite immediate risks, tempted to kill him instead of saving a companion in danger…); 1 point not to be considered Weary during an encounter with the werewolf. The effect lasts until the hero kills his prey or until the Fever leads to his own death. Until now, Caran Gaur has seen off all his pursuers…

... So, this is an example of a creature specific 'Dreadful Spell', as described generally on page 233 of the revised rules. Hope this helps!
