Oooh, could Tanith feed Menon to the last spider to gain his trust?  That would probably help ever so much if he was willing to make that sacrifice!  Of course, there's a small chance that sort of thing might go against the tenets of the Unicorn Goddess. I'll have to have Tanith check her field manual on that first. ;)

A 21 on a cooking check and nobody even say's, hey good breakfast!

Well, thats the last time I cook for any of you all!

*puts hands on his hips and looks at the others, much like an angry wife would*

Fine then!  I didn't want to eat dinner with the likes of you nohow!   :)

I just did it cuz everyone else was...

...yes, I would follow everyone off of a cliff.

Kazz replies whit bit sarcasm; "I have not yet intruded beneath her underwears, but I doubt she has tucked the dagger into her ass so yes, I have searched her troughouly."

Well, as note I increased my inteligence and learned new language ;).

Just so Rin doesn't get killed anytime soon, or at least not by the PCs, I want to let all of you know that I am actually a PC.  Brand new PC with a few problems, but he should be useful in a fight.

Yanking away magic items while I am trying to read their magical auras and schools of enchantment just adds to the conflict.

  Kazz pulled out the small chest and opened with the key, causing a few loud clicks, and finally a clunk as the lid opens up. The bard pushed the lid off up revealing the inside brimming with gold coins,and a few items resting in them.

OOC: Here is what is found..

coin
    182 gold coins (182 gp)
gem
    green jasper (green with red flecks)

glass vial with translucent, amber colored liquid.
glass vial with thick, cloudy lavendar liquid
scroll: arcane
silver wand with a diamond shaped rose quartz gem on the end

rectangle case (8 in long, 3 in. wide) covered in a rich, red velvet, the top has a swan embroidered in gold thread.

We do still have this treasure that is undistributed and the values unknown for the gem. I could identify the feather but that means 100 of the 182 gp is used up for that purpose. The ice dagger spell can easily go to me AND someone else (I spend 2 days, copy it to my spellbook and then scribe a new scroll of it for someone else on the third day)

and I know the follow things about the various items:

The wand radiates with a weak magical aura, but you cannot identify the school of magic.

  The lavendar potion has a weak aura, from the school of illusion. (most likely invisibility)

  The amber potion has a moderate aura, but Tarlassana cannot determine the school.

  The red velvet case when opened contains a feather with a moderate conjuration aura surrounding it. (Most likely a Feather Token, not sure which though)
  The scroll contains one spell, a first circle spell, Ice Dagger (from Magic of Faerun)

So the wand is worth about 9200 - 12600 roughly if we could find a buyer for it (2nd level * 11-15th level caster for +3 if you round up * 28 charges): WOW.

If only we could find a buyer, I might have a chance to get my armor eventually.

ARPs thread:

This is where players find out about what adventures they can expect to undertake.

The below post is the format most DMs here use and has rules included.

..................................

Here are Adventure Reply Posts (ARPs) that highlight the next adventure I can offer to run for the RoA One-Shot Adventure region.

The idea behind the One-Shot adventure is that is can be wrapped up fairly quickly (well, as "quickly" as play-by-post games can be) and there is no real interconnectedness between the adventures.

This region is less about the overall campaign and more about fun adventures.

You are free to continue to play in this region or move on to other regions.

Likewise you are welcome to continue to play your current PC in this region or to create a new one for the next adventure.

If you decide to leave the region, please let us know both IC (RPing your PC's departure) and in the OOC thread, too.

Getting from point A to point B between adventures and activites between adventures is glossed over in favor of getting the next adventure up and running in as little time as possible.

Please let me know here want adventure appeals to you most, then second-most.  The adventure that gets the most first place votes wins.  In cases of ties, the adventure that got the most overall votes wins.

----------------------------------

Ratings: Listed in each path are the types of encounters players can expect in each adventure-- C =Combat, PS/L =Problem-solving, and Logic, R =Roleplaying/Interaction with other PCs and NPCs.  NOTE that each adventure features all 3 areas, just in differing degrees, the most prevalent are first, followed by next, and last is least for that adventure.

More adventures will be added once these are played out or once players express interest in certain types of adventures.

For ALL of the listed adventures, the following conditions exist:

Character Levels: 3rd to 5th

Posting Requirements: About 3-4 times per week.

Special Notes:.  A good mix of PC classes would do best.

==============================================================================
1.) Title: Caravan Guards

As winter threatens to shut off the towns and villages near the Ardeep region in a few short weeks, the last of the caravans are making trips all through the area.

As the people of the Ardeep region prepare for winter, so do the monsters and humanoids - by stealing from the caravans!  And bandits are always a threat.

And of late, a tactic has arisen between rival merchats - wreck the caravan of your rival so they fail at their contract, thereby costing them time, pay, and maybe future business, as wel.  This drives business to those merchants who are success in delivering their goods OR who mess up the delivery of rival merchants.

The pay to guard caravans is high, but so is the danger.  Do you have what it takes to see the supplies that will help villages survive through the cold winter months get through?

Game Skills Rating: C, L/PS, RP

Locations: From Wood's End (southern tip of the Ardeep Forest) to Waterdeep.

2.) Title: Recovery Mission

The adventuring party know as The Band of Nathan lost a great deal of tresure during their last adventure in the tunnels of the Maiden's Tomb Tor to the north of Waterdeep.  The adventure also cost the lives of three of the members of The Band as well as the sanity of another member.  Now Nathan Wyrmkill, the leader of The Band, is hiring adventurers to go into the tunnels of Maiden's Tomb Tor and recover as many of the lost items of treasure as possible.

Something haunts Nathan's eyes.  Some say it is the spirit of a fallen commrade.  Others say it is a secret the warrior holds about what happened in the tunnels of the Tor - a dark secret that would uncover the mystery of his old companions' deaths.

Game Skills Rating: L/PS, C, RP

Locations: Maiden Tomb's Tor's exterior and interior


3.) Title: Winter Festival

A grand festival is being held in Waterdeep celebrating many things, but key on the list is the love of the approaching winter that Lord Perwick Dartinfromm has.  Much good happened to Kord Perwick one winter 10 years ago, and each winter he holds a lavish festival to commemorate that.  However this year, rumors fly that the lord has enemies who will use sublte means to ruin Penwick's festival as well as drag down the fine name of Dartinfromm.

The party is hired to serve as informal guards, seeking out and stopping any suspicious and dangerous activity at the festival.

Formal attire is required and provided by the lord.  Weapons are to be concealed and used only as a last resort.  You're each expected to act like gentlemen and ladies.

Game Skills Rating: RP, L/PS, C

Locations: The eastate of the Dartinfromms in Waterdeep's North Ward and possibly several other nearby locations.

============================================================

Once the votes are tallied and a winning adventure is picked, that's the one you run.

You need only flesh out adventures once you know they are going to run.  The "Winter Festival" one above?  I don't have a clue what would have gone on - and good thing, since it did not win!  I just had to offer one with more RPing than anything else, and this is what came to mind.

It's expected that all adventures have a mix of combat, RPing, and logic/problem solving in them, but it works if you make one plot that features combat, one that features RPing and one that features problem-solving moreso than the other two ingredients to offer players variety.

Favorite Cubs saying: (usually said around start of April or May): There's always next year.

I don't have any anti-cardinal sayings and if your saying is negative to sox, I won't mind.

Yes, I am from the north/northwest suburbs of Chicago (less than 5 miles from O'hare)

Done!

Hey, we have a minstrel in the group. Well, Walter's honour-bound to protect bards, so he's got your back Kazz.

Also note that Kazz performs while wearing colored leather mask and covers mostly all his dark skin out of view underneath into clothes and his pointed ears are hidden underneath his white hair or his straw hat. So you need pretty good spot check to see that Kazz is dark skinned plus haves half-elf style half-pointed ears to make asumption he is half-drow :).

20:01, Today: Walter rolled 20 using 1d20+4. spot?.

That do? :)
