Mazdor:
My character is still very injured. According to the rules, I have to rest an hour before rolling recovery again. I've got 2 more rocovery rolls to make, so I won't do anything for 2 hours.
Annd...have probably been waiting for some confirmation on whether you can count any Physician or Heat Food ranks on those, haven't you? Unless Korentin or Varessa say they wouldn't, then my thinking is each could apply once. Physician, I think, needs new wounds to treat; and Heat Food requires eating a meal, and, I think, digesting it, so more than an hour would need to pass before it could help again. They currently both add +2, so it would be up to you if you wanted to do one test with +4 or both at +2.

Since I joined in almost at the end of the game, I have no real idea why we are here. These are the questions I have.
Those are good questions. OK.
- Were we employed to find some information for a thread item or hired to save someone or something else entirely different? What ever our goal is, what is it and have we completed it?
What Mazdor (and Aeric, Moaze, and Varessa) know is that they were dropped out of a Theran ship and landed near this cave. Moaze was released by the Theran on condition he find a Talia Silentgrace and take care of her for a year-and-a-day; coming inside the cave, they found out these people knew Talia, but that she's missing.
So, IC, that goal is not completed; but OOC, it became irrelevant because Talia's player disappeared, like, about a month after I used her as my hook to connect the two groups. This, from a GMing standpoint, is awkward, and is why Moaze has been kept an NPC and not offered for anybody to take over. He'll be staying behind to look for Talia, and since you want to change characters, I'd suggest Mazdor elect to stay with him.
Beyond that, the other group was here essentially to kill the Horror. That seems to be done.
- Have we searched the entire area?
Nnnnn...no? Although from what you've seen of the Kaer so far, it's unlikely to have much of any use. Throughout the kaer, everything has been thoroughly smashed to bits with a seriously inhuman thoroughness. Mazdor hasn't seen very much of it, but what he has seen hurts his Thiefly heart; the others can easily confirm that it's at least as bad elsewhere.
- Did we find any survivors? Should we continue to look or is it pretty evident everyone is dead and further search for survivors a waste of time?
The Kaer was breached and empty before anybody got here; the closest things to survivors found might have been the rats. Or arguably Lily, the ghost girl, but "survivor" seems stretching it for someone called "the ghost girl".
- Is there anything written on the walls, stones or anything that survived time's attack and might be of interest to the Throalic Great Library?
That, of course, would require more active searching, but Tar'Deno has been attacked by something a lot more determined than time. So far, this heavy chest built into the Throne Room floor is the first thing anybody's found that hasn't been mashed to flinders.
The Other Group (Korentin, Calypte, Liara, Amalianna) has been in the kaer for a while. I would say that above all else, where the party as a whole is, would be... running low on food.
...And, fine, Korentin's answers were just as good and a lot more succinct, but I already wrote all this, so there.

More or less, we've been down here for days.
Weeks. Two, at least. But time's fuzzy underground, and Calypte's the only one who can really keep track.
quote:
We were hired to go with someone to check this place out. He wandered off, we kept going because... Somethingsomethingmumblemumble. And there were some other people too, I don't know about them.
I think we kept going because we wanted to prove ourselves. Hrothgar went back to Throal; we figured if we came back with some artifacts from Tar'Deno, we'd get paid and some reputation points. And then there were the Storm Wolves.
