The group continues on, the path twist and turns and at time it is difficult navigating a straight line toward the mountains and to what lays ahead.

the first day goes by smoothly with no encounters.   the group finds a nice place to rest.

fire, no fire?

Standard watches?

Actions?

 we'll do a  fire  Pit  and   the best lean-to possible , so we can have some Hot  foot and  drink, then, standard  watches.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 2):

OK,

I just need to take a roll call to make sure everyone is accounted for and still active after the break.   no worries if you miss he roll call but can call in later.  This is not a purge and as always, it is your adventure i am just DMing it :)

Senuviel walks around the campsite asking his friends whether they have items to be identified. Are you alright, people? Do you have any items to be identified?  Senuviel turns to Amarisa: How about we study those books tomorrow? He then turns to Kree: How are you going to do the watch? Pairs? Solo? I have spells to prepare so it would be nice if I get the very first or the very last watch. The elf then helps however he can in preparing the campsite.

Bruga ponders. A fire, I think. If it attracts something, that may be what we want. I can take any watch.

"We'll take care of watches as we always do. Don't worry Senuviel you'll get your beauty sleep." Maki replies and patts the mage on his back.
"We need to remain careful, a lot of strange things have happened lately, and i'm afraid most of them I didn't like at all. That goes double for our fallen comrads. It seems as lately evil is getting stronger and stronger."

In reply to Maki (msg # 6):

In reply to Maki (msg # 13):

Ok the night passes without indecent (sadly for the DM). morning is upon the group.

Actions?

    Kree will clean up  and  start  a fire  to have something hot   for them to drink and eat, before  setting out  on the trail. He will talk about the trip and  suggest the normal of   Kree on the Left, Senuiel or  the  Right, and Bruga in the lead,  with every one else  as the 'main body'

So, when they're ready and the campsite is neatened, Brave Bruga takes the lead...semi-brave actually; Bruga makes use of his Halfling stealth.

Senuviel gets all the magic books he and Amarisa have collected so far as well as any magic trinket that hasn’t been identified yet, he sits by the fire, and with the items all on his old green cloak, the elf start his spells in order to identify the items.

"Found anything good?" Maki asks once he's done with the camp.

In the morning Sila spent some time reading from her spell book.  She watched with some interest as Senuviel examined the found items with a spell.

In reply to Sila Thorton Duskmantle (msg # 19):

OOC - if you cannot find the information from previous threads on who carried what that i posted I will get that too you all this weekend, kinda busy for that heavy lifting stuff:)

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 23):

Nothing special happens other then you now make out a well traveled path heading into the mountains some - you can follow it or go another route.....

 For right  now, we   will go with the  'well traveled  route' and see if  anything happens  upon us.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 25):

The way winds some up the mountain more and you see a small effort in keeping the "road" cleared as you travel you notice a farm or two on some slopes ahead plus maybe a wheat field?

Continue??

 Kree  calls the scouts  in  and they wait for the others to  catch up.

without any real idea of  what they are  Looking for, Kree  waves his  arm forward,..we shall follow this  until we reach the top.... if we do not find  what we are looking for, perhaps...it will find us.....

  Before the break, kree says to Senuvial,..if you find  Game?...bring it down...if you get something, signal us so I don't  kill more then we need, I will do the same..regardless of what happens, were going to have  hot  food  tonight.... Bruga.. you have the Path, keep your  eyes opens, as   we two, will be hunting as well as scouting...

Bruga halflings (walks lightheartedly but with constant survey of surroundings) forward.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 28):

No game but the trail/path/road winds through the farm land, you see a farm house off to the side near a windmill on a small stream - some cows and chickens roost about 0 no signs of any other life.

There is a wagon path to the house.

Actions?

  Kree stops   as   the near the farm , his  eyes   search the area,. Whistling  for  Senuviel, he meets  with him at Bruga.

 ..this is odd... and unsettling,  Bruga and I will approach the wagon... You Cover us,  then, we will move to see if there is anyone about, mayhaps  we  can stay in the barn this  night if there is... or in the house, if there is not....

Sila listened to the plan and found a suitable spot that she could remain hidden in the distance but would allow for her to be able to watch to see if thing when a foul so that she could act if needed.

Bruga approaches, whistling a merry tune.

Amazing!!!

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 33):

OOC  Dm scratches his head, wagon, I did not have a wagon in the original scene but

 wal-la a wagon is off a bit near the house and unhitched but recently used.

the farm house is old, warn but in good shape.  As you get closer to the house, a barn, long, lean and low comes into view and what looks liek a corral and pens plus other farm animal type stuff

The house is quiet.  There is typical one door, 2 windows and a wrap around porch as you approach it.

Actions?

     After they check the wagon, Kree looks at his Comrades,..Spread out...be ready....  Snare?  you wannna  come with me?

  the good thing about the bow, was it always looked  like he was ready for  trouble.

  with, or  without, Snare. The   Elf   approaches  the   farm, against all his better  Judgement  he makes ceretain his boots  nake noise on the  boards  of the porch  as he  Calls out,HAIL!  .....AND WELL MET! WEARY TRAVELS SEEK..PERHAPS  SOME COMFORT OF YOUR FARM?

 each  word he utters, makes him more angry at himself,  had it been dark,  he would have approached in  a much different manner.

Bruga waits.

Senuviel waits but he positions himself in a way that he can see the door, in case he needs to shoot…the elf keeps an arrow knocked but his bow is low.

Maki tries to find a spot as well, where he could dash for cover if needed. Although it looked like there was no one here, looks were often deceiving. He took his shield into his left arm, but his weapon remained on his belt.

In reply to Maki (msg # 38):

There is no response from the house.............

  Moving closer  to the Door  he  calls out again, gently trying the handle, to see if it works, watching Snare for any  reactions.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 40):

Snare stands by the steps just looking at you questionably.

Door unlocked, no movement inside nor noise.


Action?

  Kree  will push the  Door open,  but take a step  back, his eyes  darting about and listening.. he does  not say anything this time

Seeing Kree opening the door, Senuviel approaches, he goes to the window, trying to see inside.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 43):

It is dark and shadow inside but at the door you do not see or hear anything.

Nothing else is moving around he farm except some animals - all looks normal.

"Odd... the farm can't be left unatended for very long. Either they will return shortly, or not at all." Maki comments. He looks around, to see if he can find any signs of combat or strugle of some kind.

  Kree looks around he door way,a nd slowly steps in,  his eyes  search for a lantern, as well as nay movement.

Senuviel gets to Kree, the elf silently signs Maki to watch their backs… There’s no sign of light inside, Kree… let’s move, I’ll cover you. Maki and the other will watch from the outside.

  Kree nods,I'll get the Ligts, if i can find  one, Snare..Come on in...

Bruga goes over to look at whether the chickens and cows need attention. While he's a city halfling, he knows enough to check the food and water situation.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 49):

The farm house is abandoned, or more likely, unoccupied at the moment.

HELLO, THE BARN! WE ARE HONEST TRAVELERS STOPPING TO SEE IF ALL HERE IS WELL. Bruga calls out, hands cupped to mouth, hoping he's loud and sincere-sounding enough.

  kree  will move about looking for   a lantern  to light, the  set about   making a fire in the fireplace.

 he  hears   Bruga, and things for a Moment, turning to Senuviel,..are we Honest?

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 52):

A young boys head pops out, clad in a farmers hat, overalls and holding a pitch fork with hey at the end.

Looks at you Bruga and says, a wee people a wee people then ducks inside yelling maw maw a wee people come look!!!!

Bruga turns and yells A mother and child! Farm's not abandoned! He turns back and waits.

..Tell them we mean no harm, just looking for shelter for the night, we'll stay in the abrn, if we cause them ill feelings....

 he continues to make the fire, if not  for them, for the   folks who live there.

Senuviel gives Kree a stern look…I guess we are, my friend…we are helping people, who’d be sold to slavers, we’ve lifted curses, talked to our leaders or whoever were they, we’ve fought companions who have turned against us and to those we were really honest if I say so myself.  Do you think Amarisa and Sila would have been with us if we weren’t honest to them? The paladin? Yes, Kree, I think we are honest, maybe not a hundred percent of our time but at least we are honest to ourselves and we have been, in my humble opinion, to the innocent people we helped.

The elf then listens to Bruga…

Come, let us see what Bruga’s found, aye?

  witht eh fire started in teh fireplace, kree nods,..lead on, but keep your wits  about you...

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 57):

A female, maybe mid 20's looks around the corner of the barn then once she see Bruga, boldly walks out.  she is dressed in work over al too, long sleeves and pants, a hat to.

The boy follows still holing the pitch fork.

A goat bellows from the barn and a cow moos too.

She walks closer to Bruga, state your name and what you doing here little 1/2 and who else do you have with you, looking out toward the remainder of the group she can see.

  Kree will stop on the porch and watch, waiting to see the outcome, his eyes   searching the area , in case of ambush.

Bruga Honeyfinder, Ma'am. With me are Clair Brandywhine, Kree Quickshadow, Maki, Senuviel Alantir, and...aways a bit, Sila Thorton Duskmantle.

Son, you'd best put thje pitchfork down. If we meant ill, it already would have happened.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 60):

She chuckles, mindhim not, his father only comes out at night so he thinks he has to protect me in the day time.

You say no ill, good.


I am called, Thelma and that is Tweed.   This is our homestead.  My brother is off chasing a wild band of Orcs that like to capture folk and sell em to the traders.  they passed by here not long ago.

As she walks closer, yes yes by all means go in make yourself at home, and you all out by the wagon come come I can make a harty stew laughs the chores cana wait as I want to hear all the news from about your travels.

Then she walks confidently up to the house, smiles at Kree and Bruga and walks in, yelling, I see you started to make yourself at home - well come in and settle a spell.

she is charismatic, but solid looking.  You see she is wearing a scimitar and a dagger along with having some tattoos on her neck and arm of maybe animals or smudged objects.   She smells like she has been in the barn a bit but not unpleasant.


Action
Tweed just sets there holding the pitch fork staring at Bruga.

 Kree looks  to Senuviel as she mentons her brother  chasing  the orcs. Then follows her in.

 We had  planned on asking  to use your BArn to sleep in, but when we saw no one was home,  I thought  we could use a fire and  some warmth.

  Motioning to the others  as He pulls out  some of the leftover game from his pack, opening the bag, we have some game   left over from our last Hunt? If we may, i would like to add that to the stew?

 while the prep is going on, he speaks  s carefully,...when encountered orcs ..a few times during or trek...even came upoin some people that were to be sold to slavers? Thus far, we have killed what slavers  we have  found, unless they outstripped us as they ran in fear....

 ..if  i may?.. and you may tell me to not mind? It will not offend me....but...why does the lad's father not come out until dark?

Senuviel takes a seat by the window. He carefully listens to the conversation as he looks outside as if searching for any signs of trouble.

Bruga looks Tweed over. Well, if you want to stand guard, I'll lie down and take a nap...be sure to call me when it's time to eat.

"We're hunting slavers as well. If you can tell us where you brother might be, we could go and assist him, if he is not back by morning." Maki says, eager to learn more about this family as well.

In reply to Maki (msg # 65):

She busies herself making a large pot of stew.  Putting in bunches of carrots, beats, corn, cabbage, and salted beef by the looks of it, mixes in spices and more vegies.  takes some of your offered food and added it to the mix.   The aroma is mouth watering.

As she cooks she talks, the lad, his father is a minor and works our vein in the day time and is out by night.  My brother will be back in he morning at worst.  Slavers you say and Orcs to boot.  My my, we have some things in common then.

We settled here a long time ago and built up the village on the far hillside, mined for anything you could dig out and sell then raised animals and crops.  Orcs came out of the mountains  not long after we been here a while.  First it was raiding parties but they never made it home hen we found there camp and had a fun time taming them and for a long while they kept to themsleves only visiting to trade or exchange stuff but recently hey got all sired up - she pauses to get out bowls and spoons - another feirce clan showed up and took control.  We did them in good and those that were left also setled in for a while but now I guess a bunch of humans have started up trafficking and got those Orcs involved.

Last night they tried to take old man whitlers mare, foul, milking cow and puppies.  We got wind of it and beat em Orcs to the pass.  Most escaped hurt bad but the human leading it got away.  My brother went to deal wth the orcs so he be back my morn.

She stops chatting and hands out bowls, Tweed comes in a this point, Pa be n soon, heard the roaster crow twice.  Looks the group over then gets a bowl and slopps out some sew into it and sets at the table and starts eating.

Actions?

  Kree will help set the table  and  wash the dishes  and such, as they eat, he asks,we've been  traveling  and fighting , ...alot...lost osme friends not  abi a go?....  would it  be ok? to spend the night in the barn?.. we could   pay with some  chores in the morning, or..even some coin?..Be nice to sleep with some walls around us....

 he  holds up his hands in defense,..if you rather us not? we would understand, you have been  kind  enough to  get us a hot meal.

Senuviel helps himself some stew, he helps Kree with the dishes and also puts some more burning logs into the fire. Aye! It would be nice to have a night of sleep indoors, just for a change. We could even guard the farm this night. Saying this the elf takes a seat by the window as soon as he finishes helping Kree.

Bruga demonstrates that halflings are, perhaps, bigger on the inside than on the outside.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 69):

The barn would be, unsafe for you at night.  she smiles and cheerfully states but I have enough room here in the house for all of you, looks at snare, including you my boy and smiles.  snare seems enthralled wags his tail and sits so she can give him any attention possible.   Clair just chuckles at that.

Tweed remarks, they ain'ts taken my spot, right.   no Tweed, you earned your spot here in the house an guests they may be you have your spot so rest easy on that.... now how wants some pie for desert, I have apple and peach cobbler.  Had a nich chocolate berry pie BUT someoone had to have 4ths.... but it was so good states Tweed.

The sun has set and the moon is rising as it is getting dark, she moves about the house lighting a few lanterns while she awaits what desert you all want.

 You here some one walking up onto the porch, and a heavy object crunch and clank to the wooden porch floor then a heavy sigh, in a deep male voice, best saved me some of that stew I smell al the way out here, i am famished.


Action??

  Kree will opt  for the Apple  pie, But Tell the young lady to allow the others  to pick, and he will be happy with whatever is left. He makes  his way over to his pack and weapons , looking out the window as an excuse to be there.

 ..is that the lad's  father , then?

Sila was thankful for the offered food and made a point to offer any aid where she could from checking the health of the lady and her children.

Bruga eats or drinks only what the hosts do, and if what's served comes out of the same container.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 73):

The front door opens ans a big wide burly Dwarf stomps in, hurumphs and looks at each one of you, intent deep soul searching stare.  then he smiles and opens his arms welcome to my humble home.

I see you have meet my family already.

He is dressed in a very dirty dust covered cloak and you can tell he has chain mail under it.  Extremely dirty looking.  Has a hammer, Battle axe and Pike axe which he places down in a spot that looks as though he has placed it there for centuries.

Crosses his arms and states, My name is Theoadore and yours (looks at each of you).  His eye are a deep Blue,, grey beard eyebrows still holds the dark grey color as does his hair.

Actions?

Bruga rises and bows. Bruga Honeyfinder, a grateful guest.

  The Elf   bows  a bit as well,..Kree....Quickshadow. There are My friends, and comrades...we have face some dire  times of late. We saw this  farmstead, hoping  we would be allowed  use of the barn for sleeping, The Young  Lady invited  us   to eat..

 then  he  is qiet, to  have the others speak.

"Hello, I am Maki, a knight of Pelor's. I have heard you had some run in with the slavers lately. I'd like to hear more about it, as we are also fighting against those, who oppress the weaker."

Although this seems like a decent family, Maki checks each of them with his divine stare, if there is any evil about them...

Senuviel raises his left hand in a sign of peace and respect. Hail! I am Senuviel and as the holy warrior here states, I am with the ones who free slaves and lift curses. Please, accept our gratitude for the food, time and space your family has been granting to us. The elf then sits again.

Sila gave a curtsey, "Sila, a humble Skyweaver of the goddess Isis"

In reply to Sila Thorton Duskmantle (msg # 79):

Clair quietly calls snare back to her (he does reluctantly go to her) - Well meet my good man, Luck and fortune follow those who follow he path of adventurer, Clair of Tymora at your service.

In reply to Clair Brandywhine (msg # 80):

Theoadore smiles and repeats all your names, you can see he is trying to remember them to each of you.

Now, sleeping arrangement, not to worry, we have plenty of room in the house.  the barn is not rightly deserving and around here at night, best we all stay in a better fortified place.   those Orcs, may come back with reinforcements and that barn, though stoutly looking will torch up fast and could trap you all in there, sadly not want I want on my shoulders.

So, shall my lovely wife show you to your rooms now or would you like another helping of desert.  Smiles at the group.

 The elf  Looks around and says  sheepishly,..I will have another slice, if there is extra? if not, that is fine as well.

  after any  extra  goodies  are eaten, he will help wash and dry the dishes.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 82):

To those that notice, there is plenty of food to go around, like being at your grandparents house and no matter how much you eat, they always have another plate of food/deserts still to be eaten.

Bruga, continuing to observe his precautions, sits easy, waiting for the others to take to their rest.

I guess I’ve had enough food for today. Thank you very much. Senuviel bows as he thanks the old dwarf and his wife.

Well…I will take my so deserving night of sleep if you don’t mind, I need to be up early in the morning in order to study. The elf then bids farewell to his friends and hosts and goes to sleep. He makes himself as comfortable as possible and then takes his boots and robe off, he keeps his weapons by the reach of his arm, though.

Sila decided to help with the clean up, it was the least that she could do with the family opening up and sharing their house with the group.  Once things were back in order Sila excused herself and stepped outside and cast a spell upon the roof of the house.  She nodded her satisfaction and returned back inside.

"There that should help us in case there be any trouble this night.  This house now carries Isis blessing, I have cast a Wyvern Watch upon the roof of the house, it will alert us if anyone comes close to the house"  With that said she takes leave of those choosing to stay up, She finds a spot to lay out her bedroll on the floor and sat down and opened her book pouring over its contents before she retired for the night.

As Sila is ready to study, Bruga comes to her. We should have somebody on watch during the night. The boy was too easy with his pitchfork, and his boots were clean. Probbly everything is on the up-and-up, but just maybe not.

"Yeah, we should keep a watch, like we usualy do while in the forest. I feel the evil we are chasing is not that far away." Maki comments. It was just his gut feeling. His powers didn't detect any evil nearby or in their hosts.

In reply to Maki (msg # 88):

Posting tonight or tomorrow so stay tuned :)

In reply to GM (msg # 89):

You are all led to rooms down the hallway though a door on the one side of the kitchen no one seemed to have noticed.  there are enough rooms for wach of you.  smal 6x6 rooms with a small 2x2 window.  A urine pot, wash basin with water and bar of soap with towel.  Bed/pillow with sheets and a blanket.

the hallway ends wit a window.

She bids all a good nigh and calmly smiles, if you wish to set a watch, that is fine though Gertrude may stroll through , she likes visitors, looks to Snare, even friendly dogs.  She smiles Gertrude is a bobcat, harmless, jst do not feed her.  chuckles.  good night all.  I am sure tomorrow at breakfast we can talk about the orcs and this slavery.


Actions?

who is on watch???

 Kree  will stay up a bit, and  watch since he has no studies to worry about.

Sila started glancing around, "No No I can't, feels too much like a cell"  Sila backed away from the small rooms, she starting acting like a trapped rat.  She quickly maked her way back to the bigger room.  "Must not, can't stay in there"

 Kree Motioned   for  Sila  to come  sit near him in the outer  room,..Relax... rest here I am goign to  stay up for a bit. I always  liked the night.

At the mention of "cell," Bruga examines the "bedroom" doors.

Sila nodded a thank you at Kree offer sit in the outer room, "I'm sorry, since my earlier experience with the slavers,  being in a small confined room feels too much like a cage." Sila tried to slow her breathing and racing heart.

 kree Nodded  as he began to check fletching on  his arrows,..nonsense... we have all had  our lives chnaged , in some way, by the  fear and attacks of Slavers. The way i deal with the hate i have for them, is to...make less slavers....

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 96):

Clair and Snare accept a room for the night, smiles and say good night to the group, but please, wake us for our turn at watch.

The natural light from a moon not fully full shines in on sky lights no one really noticed until the lady of the house left with her lamp.

You know there was a door on the other side of the house from the door leading to these rooms, as Kree and Sila watch them lock the outside door and go through that door, smiling and bidding those left in the main room good night, oh and help themselves to food and wine/water/ale.

Actions?

  Kree will indeed, take  another Glass of wine to sip on, he will ask Sila if she wishes a drink.

 he  will stay up, talk with Sila  if she wishes, or  allow Sila to sleep if she does not.
 But, he does keep alert.

PM

Senuviel sleeps and dreams of naked nymphs deeding him logan berries.

Sila will remain up for a little while, talking with Kree.  Once he has helped settle her nerves Sila will curl up into a ball on the floor in the big room.

  Once Sila is asleep, Kree will look for a Blanket, or  use his own from his back pack, to cover her, then settles into the chair, at  he can look out  a window on, Until he. allows himself  to slip into sleep.

Bruga tells Kree When you're ready to sleep, wake me.

ZZZ

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 103):

 The night passes without indecent.   The morning brings a hustle and bustle of breakfast, hot cakes, beacon, grits, eggs and toast with jam.   Everyone is also  packed a small travel pouch of beef jerky and an extra skin of very clear fresh water.   - it seems there well is exceptional.



The Dwarf does not stay long at all, kinda Dwarfish rudeish cause there is work to do.  the kid also runs out right after breakfast, yelling he will be back later to help clean up breakfast but had a pressing errened to finish.

you are left alone with her as she states - you wanted to know about the activities here??

actions?

  Kree  will  wave to her, to take a seat,Tell us the goings on, I will set about the clean up. Its the least we can do...but we are interested in the  tales...

Bruga eats but then goes out for a walk.

Senuviel finishes his studies, sits at the table and helps himself with some eggs and bacon while he waits for their hostess to sit as well and tell them the goings on in the region.

Sila took a seat and opened up one of her books studying its content.  She occasionally would eat a bite of egg or slice of bacon.  She waited and listened.

In reply to Sila Thorton Duskmantle (msg # 108):

The Orc problem, the Goblin issue, the Giant Ant infestation, the fact that one of our water sources flows the wrong way up hill, the issue about the blight on the corn crop or the recent slave trade problem, which would you like first

 Kree, from his  spot by the sink,Start with the slaves... then go on as you like. It may be, that we can aid you with some of these problems, as we travel.

"Water flows up the hill?" Maki said suprised. That caught his attention the most. "That's not possible, unless some really strong magics are involved. But do tell us what you know of slavers. We've been chasing those for ages."

"Which ever one you consider to be the bigest problem"  Sila said without even looking up from her book

In reply to Sila Thorton Duskmantle (msg # 112):

Well, I could be here all day telling tales and what not worries about our life here but I see you wish to know about the saver trade.  With a gleam in her eyes she seems to be taking a good look at you all,

Orcs for years always dealt in slavery among themselves and the lesser humanoids but about three years ago, a group of out laws started dealng with the orcs.  mainly half Orcs but then a more powerful force started to work the lot over.  They set up operations on this side of he mounain along with the upper reaches,  chuckles I think they awoke a dragon - bad business doing that.

She pauses to see he affect so far and goes to the kitchen window and looks out it.

  Kree wipes  the dishes and stacks them,... over the last week or so, we have dealt a few blows to the slavers, a few got away...something that does  not sit well with me....

  We ran into an area or soemthing , that caused Great fear..people Goblins were sent  running, and so we some of us..i was one of them.... we found two of  our friends dead  near some odd creatuire....our path seems to be elading  us to the Mountains..perhaps...you might continue  with your tales?

Bruga whistles, enjoying the fresh air and the countryside. He espies a fitting rock, picks it up, and then another. He tries to juggle them.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 115):

Slavers story it is, trust me I do not know a lot from the past, just some of the stuff happening now.

There is a group of Orcs hooled up near here that we let stay if the behaived them selves due to the fact that they kept the other humaniods in check and we could keep an eye on them.  Welpo they started working wit the humans and traficking but once we found out about it, we reduced there number and drove away the humans - or we thought.

There was another group of Orcs further away that the 1/2 Orcs were able to take over and strenghtin there numbers which kept up the trade heaviiy though we have beaten them back a bunch with some losses.

Now most of the villagers and farmers are made up of a mix lot of settlers, adventures and common folk so they have been able to keep at bay most activities until recently when the humans came back in force. Now we are hard pressed to control the lot.  that is until they awakened a dragon  oh now that is another story.

Oh, I foget one thing, there are two factions of religeion here, no offense to your preists but one church is lead by normal means and the other is lead by other means, not dark but different,   unfortunetly my husband deals with thelater instead of the church folllowers but they have both been a good addition to the area heoping with godly support.

She smiles, and yes my husband is a Dwarf and he is mining a large vein of ore, we are not just above ground farmers.


So tell me more about this strange creature and the activities, strengths and so forth of the slavers you are dealing with, maybe they are connected.

 coming  from the kitchen, Kree  opens his pack and draws out the strange  cloak, we were given these..with a cryptic saying about  wearing them?... I did not wear mine for a while, then when the fear took me, i  wore  it the next night and after....the creature that appeared to Kill my friends?..was like a mixed Beast?

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 117):

She looks at he cloak Kree shows her, hhmm, maybe magical with special properties?  Who gave these to you again????


She leans in more intent as you mention a beast "a mixed beast???, please describe it in detail.

 Kree describes  the  best he can of how they got the cloak....his   mistrust...and then the creature they found , with their dead comrades.

Sila, flips over a page in her book still pouring over its content, offering little to the conversation at the moment.

Senuviel sips some tea and listens intently to Kree when he describes the creature.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 121):

Kree describes the beast -  a creature like no other, part man, part horse part snake part bird.   It turned to dust so we could not check it out further.


She looks at Kree, that is a most interesting beast, was it very tall and a male or female.....

Kree answers (OOC - Male and about 8' tall) OOC - Sorry Kree, I took the liberty on that one.


She asks, did it speak to any of you at any time???  Were you there at the battle?

She seems a bit at odds and fumbles he cleaning rag a moment,


Actions???

  Kree watched her, he said slowly, When  I fled from the  magic, or what ever it was.. I needed up near the beast... I did not see my friends, But  I did  fire a few shafts at the beast..at least one hit, I am unsure of the other... then I went to seek my comrades....

 ..then, as we  sought out  our  two missing friends...and found them , thus...

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 123):

A shame your two comrades, I lost many of friend to foes and natural disasters,

So, the cloak, I would wear it, it seems a good fit for you all.

She puddles around some then sis and says, maybe I should send you all to Horace Pie, a Bard of confusing nature that lives near here in a secluded spring.  He may be able to help decipher the riddle.

Looking about, best get yourselves packed up then, unless you wish to stay another night and smiles.

  ..For My part? I would Like ro see this fellow...But if  our spell flingers need more rest, another Night  would not hurt? I will leave it up to them. I...have no skill in the arts.

"I'm good to travel"  Sila seemed eager to be moving on.

I'm good to go as well Says Senuviel calmly.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 127):

She looks sadden at the decision to depart so quickly.

Well, bes we all go out to the mine and get you all some traveling supplies for the mountain as I gues you will want to go up hat way.

looks you all over, those magical cloaks should help ou but I have some oher more normal gear you would need.

Now unless you all have anything else to ask, we can be off.

Bruaga walks over. Perhaps it would be a good idea to buy some food adn look over what you, ma'am, think we might need.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 129):

She shakes her head a Bruga, I have enough supplies to feed you all for another two days without having to go to the town for supplies.  Now, if you need more supplies then the town further along the pathway you came is your next stop.

Now let me see what gear we have available, if you feel the need to purchase it instead of allowing me to help you outfit yourselves properly, I can work out an arrangement.

She heads off into the tree line following a well worn path.

Do you all follow?

  Kree  Shoulders  his PAck and Follows, Looking back at the others  to see if  they will, as well.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 131):

DM also looks over his shoulder to see if any follow Kree :)

Bruga trails along, in the rear.

Sila gives an ever so slight sigh and follows along as well.

In reply to Sila Thorton Duskmantle (msg # 134):

The party heads out toward the query/mine area the Dwarf husband is supposed to be working at....  any actions along the way???

 If the full party is  around, Kreey will signal Senuviel to  come up with  him, they will each  walks a side of the path , ahead of the others, following  the  lead of the Lady...

 Burga  said he would trail,  the rest will be in the middle?

I second Kree.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 137):

OK the grup is lead into a rough area and you see a hole in the ground surronded by rokcs and dirt mounds.  As you approach the hole you see that there is a pully system set across it and setting by the hole is a wolf.

The lady sighs, Gretchen is guarding that darn hole for him.  Never saw such an attachment as thouse two.

Chuckles, stay here, I'l be right back with that gear and some other stuff.   She moves to the hiole, the wolf just looks at her then at the group but just sits there.

she pulls out a harness and attaches her self to the rope and slides down the hole and disappears.



Anyone doing anything or just waiting???

 Kree moves  a bit , looking around,Snare? You know that  Wolkf?...is...it a wolf?

 he  has his Bow in hand as he looks around, Just in case.

Bruga enjoys (or not) the view.

"I respect the dwarfs for their hard work." Maki said as he waited. "I don't mind the labor that much, but the lack of sun and fresh air." He shakes his head. "I don't think i would want to be a miner."

   kree snickers a bit,...we have   seen out share of dark places, but we always knew , we would not have to go back....this fellow goes there daily...

Sila will walk over to the hole and peer down into it.  She had never had a concern with dark places.  She looked and listened.

In reply to Sila Thorton Duskmantle (msg # 143):

Sila, the wolf's hackles raise and the wolf gives you a very low growl of warning as you start to approach, teeth bared.


Do you still walk up to the pit and the wolf who is next to the pit guarding?

  Kree  watches Sila  and he calls  , gently his bow ready, just in case,..Easy Sila.... if they wanted us there, we would have been invited down. For good or Ill, we shall have to await her  return.

Sila backed away.

In reply to Sila Thorton Duskmantle (msg # 146):

The wolf backs down and sets again at the entrance/hole.  Growls a bit  in a talkative way.

Snare sniffs the air then turns and circles Clair and sits back down, nervous.


Any other actions, Thelma is still down in the cave, you think you may her voices echoing back up.

Maki simply loiters about, making sure that if anyone comes to the pit, he would see them.

  Kree keeps a bit away from the main group setting himself  so he has a good line of fire , to the entrance  or  towards path they came, and tries to keep  watch at the tree line he is near.

Senuviel cover the other flank, the elf walks around the area, opposite to Kree and keeps an eye in the hole as well.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 150):

Some movement of the rope, it looks like someone is coming out - it has been about 30 min.

the Thelma's head then body climb out, yes the head is attached to the body :)

she pulls up a rope and a large sac is attached to it.

She looks out and see's you all, grins and turns to the Wolf and yips and yaps then shfts her body.  he wolf yips once then runs off into the woods.

snare you see almost jumps after the wolf but stops and sets back down next to clair.

thelma then carry's the heavy oad to you all.


OK, here is al lthe supplies I could fing that you all may need.

She unwraps the package.

You find 3 sets of climbing gear (pick axe, spikes, hammers, clamps ect. 4 100' ropes, 4 small tents that look built for cold weather.  a potion bottle for each of you - this potion will help you breath better in the thin air- it lasts 24 hrs.   she looks you over, those cloaks wil serve you well, now hats, gloves, boots and pants I do not have but in town, my brother may have some of those supplies.

She hands out the gear - you all decide who is carrying what.   then gives you a map, rough but shows a route to the mountain and a path up.



As you setle your gear, Theadore strolls in, and announces, we have guests at the farm, or we did, I lead them this way.  Two fellers, they called our names out, said uncle sent them.  then wanders to the hole, Can I go down???    Theadore no, your father is busy.  Go find Shereatornitch. she mus be restless after setting for so lone.   He grins and dahses off the way he wolf left.


Actions??

  Kree  will take a Coil of rope binding  it to his  pack, he  bends the  tent  around the top of the  Pack like troopers do, though  he seems less then pleased at this.

 He is securing the   Potion in his backpack as he hears  about the folks  coming.

   Looking to his friends he says,..let us wait to see what these fellows want of our host? This may be a chance to repay the hospitality....The Mountain will not be moving , anytime  soon.

Bruga, with thanks, takes a potion bottle. As for the rest; well, he's a little fellow after all.

"How can we repay for all this gear?" Maki asked, as he tried to stuff as much gear as he could carry into his backpack.
Dwarfs were usualy well off, since minig payed well, but still. He didn't like to feel, like he owed anyone.

In reply to Maki (msg # 154):

Thelma chuckles, repay me, why then she thinks, I guess one could repay me if you run into a trapper make sure he is not trapping beaver in the spring, fox in the fall and wolves any time.  Plus, never cut down a tree until you ask your self if this tree deserves to be there.  she smiles, now yes back to the house and see who are new visitors are...

  The elf   shrugs and Nod s  as  we turns to head back the way they came, My people use   dead wood  for  fires and such, and fencing when it is needed,Our homes are fashioned  with Stone and  wood, but we are careful as to which trees we choose., Most Humans, do not have the same...how shall we say....'care'..when it comes to that?

 He  nods  his ehad in the direction of his comrades,We take Game, when it is needed, but never more then we can use.  the leavings are left for the creatures of the forst to share in  what bounty  the Sisters have granted to us , in  the hunt.

Among the Halflings, it's cut down one, plant two.

Senuviel silently walks beside Kree, the cosmopolitan elf is not much well versed in the ways of nature.

Sila simply said, "Thanks" to the offered supplies.  She took a potion and one of the small tents.

"New visitors?"

In reply to Sila Thorton Duskmantle (msg # 159):

Thelma helps everyone pack up the new gear and then smiles at her son as he goes off.

i guess those visitors should be up yonder on the path heading our way so, and looks at you all, if it is two vs all of us, I have no worries.  Let's take our time and go back.   I'll send a scout to see where they are exactly.

Thelma, bends over and quietly chants and makes some odd noises.  you see a vole or mole pop up out of the ground a moment then disappear again.  This will take a few minutes but more reliable then a sparrow.

In reply to GM (msg # 160):

As Sila questions about visitors, you see two figures appear on the path heading back to the farm.  they are slowly walking toward the group.


thelma states, interesting, let's see what they have to say.  and smiles.

  Stepping off to the side of the path to wait, Kree looks at Thelma,...your  Lands Ma'am we shall follow your lead.

"Hi! How are you? My name is Rivlacar. Are you the owners of the farm that's a 40 or some minute walk down this trail?", he asks. These people don't exactly look like farmers.

 The  Darkhaired Ponytailed elf with the bow, points to Thelma...

Sila offered a polite smile.

In reply to Sila Thorton Duskmantle (msg # 165):

Thelma steps up, I am the owner of these lands and farm, you may call me Thelma.

How may I help you two?

"Hi Thelma. Your brother, the lawman, was concerned for your safety and asked us to come hither and check on your well being. Be advised, the situation of the Orcs is still garners his attention. Finally, and I think I have this right, he mentioned, familial ties notwithstanding as pertains your husband Theodore, that outstanding monetary recompense persists, something about diamond from the rough?" he says with a puzzled look on his face. "Perhaps this letter will clarify?"

Rivlacar will produce the letter and offer it to Thelma. "We actually checked for you in your farm and, I'm sorry, we wondered a fair bit as we were concerned for your safety.I am curious where you are headed though that is a personal curiosity and not something your brother asked."

Senuviel keeps quiet and only glances at Kree through the corner of his eyes.

  Other then slightly narrowed eyes, Kree shows little in the way of  reaction, though his hand twitched on his bow, he Looks further up the trail from his spot, then shifts his Glance to Senuviel.

  This would not be the  first time .overly good' people have caused them problems.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 169):

Thelma takes the letter and reads it, smiles then grins and finaly sighs.

Well, well, well.   These two look real, if they carry this it vouches for them.

Orcs sre restless but under control.

Now these slavers, she looks again at the paper.  They seem to have moved North and up into the mountains.  hhmmm, somewhat what you guys - looks at Kree and the rest of the group - talked about.

she suddenly stoops down as a vole pops his head up out of the ground and the two seem to have a conversation.  The Vole then disapears into the ground.

Thelma stands up and looks about.  OK, Rivlacar and - she looks at Sam - Sam?  I have no need to answer this letter so you two can go as you will as I have more important matters to do.   She folds the letter up and turns to Kree and the group, You guys have all the gear you need I hope, if there is anything else where these two came from you can get.  My brother can help if he is in town.


Smiles, sorry I have to be a bad host but I must get back to my husband.

She turns and walks to the pit, looks over her shoulder and states, you guys, all of you, feel free to use the farm to rest up if you need to.  Help your self to the common areas but please stay out of the two side rooms.   Smiles and drops down into the pit.



Actions??  There are two groups here, please role play as you wish.  I do not necessarily need you all to be joined together  but, err, it may be best for all your survival .  just saying Thjis is your adventure's :)

  Kree looks at the New Folks   Well Met  I am Kree...Quickshadow... My fiends  and  I have been on a hunt, for an overly long time. We plan to head to the Mountains. The Good Lady, Thelma, as helped us with gear, and we are about to  leave...

 His Hand   motions back to  the others,..These are My trusted friends and Comrades...Semuviel....Maki....Sila..Bruga..Clair  and Snare......

 a crooked smile appears on his face as he adds,  we are hunting slavers....One who has  wronged us more then others, but we settle on killing  those we can find....out  methods  seem dark to some folks...but..the end result of ridding the realms of Slavers, bandits and thier like..is  all that is  of import...

 I say this, only because  we have  some..'..overly good' folks who have betrayed us in the past..we...do not take   well to  comrades who turn on us, for sake of mere belief. Those  we   defend, and avenge, see us as good... Those who fear our  wrath? May think us  dark... I prefer to think of us, as the Fire..that fights the fire....Now?...You know us?... Please  tell us about yourselves?

Senuviel bows respectfully but lets Kree do the talking.

Standing alongside but just back behind Rivlacar, an average sized human. Very young looking could not be more then a few years into adulthood and looks like he would have trouble just lifting his backpack. Dressed, for a lack of better words, `Pretty`. Dark purple vest and bracers with a red shirt and black pants. They look to be of better quality then most clothing. A rustyish sword, and some wooden instrument hanging around his neck. A backpack and a couple pelt pouches.

Listening to the talking, Sam seems to be in discomfort when talking about slavers.

After the introductions were finished as Sam acknowledged each name looking at them when introduced, Sam spoke "Sam." Politely in delivery but somewhat timid.
This message was last edited by the player at 17:39, Thu 09 June 2016.

Bruga bows politely and goes back to looking around.

"Nicely said, Kree." Maki said. "We are indeed fire, but we fight against the darkness." He corrected his companion.

 The elf  smiles  slightly,indeed,  Good Maki...but fire, none-the-less...

Rivlacar frowns as he hears Kree's words. "Well, I believe in the rule of law and I would not want to ignore it. It sounds like you have different guiding principles. Can you maybe elaborate and explain a bit more about what happened that resulted in strife and divisiveness within your group?"

  The elf  chuckled,we set up hunting slavers, to cut down on thier numbers..we...I..set a fire  at a warehouse...one of the  holy warriors. thought we should be turned in for it..the other made no effort to stop the fool, or  stop the  slavers....as a result?  there is one less holy person..and alot more slavers...

 The  smile fell just a bit as he says,..you see...when you allow some folks of  evil leaning  to live...and they escape? and the only reason  you did so, is because of some foolish belief? Then You...and everyone who allowed it to happen, are responsible, for every life they take....every life they ruin...and every child who is short a parent... it falls on your shoulders..because you could have ended it...


 My friends  and I , who have started this  hunt?  We  were fooled by the one we hunt...we seeks to make amends , by making him a head shorter..We have lost alot of comrades along the way..whether they thought better of our quest..or whether their lives were cut short..but we  remain as steadfast as we were they day we left our village....

 ..I say this now, so there is  no misunderstanding.

Rivlacar nods. "I think I understand. In any event, I must get going to finish the job for which was hired," he says. He turns to Sam. "Both of us need not return. I can inform the lawman that I found Thelma, delivered the message and that she is fine. You can talk things out with the group if you want. I'm headed back."

With that, Rivlacar departs, heading back towards the farm.

  The  elf    shrugs, and turns to his comrades,..off to the mountains  then....let us see whay we were sent  down the path that we have chosen...

Bruga turns and sets off, explaining I usually scout ahead...when I'm not lurking behind.

Looking a the group then back to Rivlacar, "If they will have me, I would rather stay with them. Last thing I want is to go back anywhere near Graces Spot. I hope you don't mind." Turning to the group of well versed adventurers, "I can't offer that much, but if yall don't mind I would gladly join."

  Kree Looks at the Fellow,.... We are out to find and  Kill slavers...or  any other such folk  who lean towards the Dark. In the Mountains, it  is said we will find both. I ask only this? If you d not liek the  way we treat our  foes, that is fine...just...do not  interfer when we do.

 His  smike grows  and he says,..Other wsie..You are Well met, and  Welcome.... Bruga normally take the point ahead.... Senuviel and I take the Flanks, the rest  travel in a pack, as to keep our  company as safe as we may....we have lost folks, it is true, but only in the  worst of cases..or..betrayal.

Glad to have you...disperses the attention and helps our odds.

Senuviel nods in agreement to Kree's statement and adds: Welcome then. I hope we do get along well. More help always come in handy.

"I appreciate the welcome." Sam said looking around at his new companions. Holding the  instrument around his neck against his chest, "It's not much but I will do what I can to help." acknowledging kree, "Slavers have no place in the world, as long as you can live with what you have done I am not one to judge."

_{edit slavers and no}

 Kree looks at Sam, and a Broad  Grin crosses his   face, he take a few Steps  BAck and  Offers him the   warriors  shake,..Again..WELL MET!  indeed!. As Far as Living  with  my actions? I have little problem with that, for i am haunted by the lack of action, that sent us down this road.

 His  smile s fades a bit,..when one tires to  bring  those of  the Dark to justice, most times, Jusitice  fails, and that person, persons , or thing, is able to go and kill, capture and harm again.....when that happens?..it is no longer  Just the crime of the  Dark person, but also , of those  that did not end them, when they had the chance...

 ..So With Tymora  and Bethsaba's  aid,  We try to make certain, there is never a 'second chance'...Those or the drak, know what they are doing..they know who they harm, even those who are...'forced'..to aid them, have made thier choice....and? I make  mine when we find them.

  Before we set off, what skills  do you bring to aid us? so we know how to work with each other in a fight?...and?...If you need equipment? Tell us now, the Good Lady said  we could take   some items from her farm, since the task we are setting upon, is  also of benefit to these folks as well...

While the others bantered with each other Sila found a suitable spot to take a seat in the shade and offer up a small prayer of thanks to,her goddess.  She found that she perfered the shade to the direct sunlight.  She would need to get a hat help shade her eyes.

Looking down at his belt pouches, Sam responds to Kree in somewhat of a solemn undertone, "I don't have much nor really need much. Rivlcar has been sharing his rations with me since I couldn't afford any when we left, Sam's eyes furrowing slightly Graces Spot. I would like to be able to fill up my water skin and gets some rations if available." Turning his attention to the rest of the group. "I'm not a fighter nor do I pretend to be." While tapping his rusty, about to break apart, short sword, Sam says sarcastically, "So don't be fooled by my fine weaponry. I can assist you in little ways to help you fight though and I'll try my best to stay out of the way of you more vetted adventurers."

   Kree looks  from one of his Comrades to the other, before  saying,..we  will go to the LAdy's Home and gather you some food and such for  our  journey, she has  said we could do as much.    You can stand watches  an hour or so longer then the rest of us, that will aid of spell folks in thier studies and rest,  and , some time for  those of us who  use  weapons, to get a bit of extra  rest., when combat comes..and it will come. You do what you are able...  The Sisters  have had us meet? I may only assume they have plans for you...

 Turning to  Bruga,..Lead on, and Be aware...in case   someone followed  the folks we have met....

 He Nods  to Senuviel  as  he, himself, steps into the trees on the left side of the path.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 190):

With out any more actions the group heads back to the farm.  It is supper time.

The farm is quiet though you see a dog rooming around going from the barn to a shed but the animals are all calmly milling about as a farm animal should.

In the house you find plenty of rations for all, water skins extra and some more rope, not as long or as sturdy then the rope Thelma gave you (regular hemp rope) but it will do in a pinch.

Do you explore more of the farm?
Do you stay the night?
Do you leave?

Actions??

    The work with Sam to see what rations and   items he may need. Kree will step out  and look at the sky and frown.

  ... I know it may just be the weakness in me, But let us  stay the night, and be off in the morning, it will do us little good to go down the road a few Miles, then travel in the Dark, and...one more good   meal could not hurt ...

Senuviel shows agreement to Kree's statement and then adds: I'd appreciate if I could get a full night's sleep so I can prepare suitable spells for what's about to come. The elf the looks at Sila We could try some preparation together as to take most of the advantage when using our spells, what do you think, Sila?

 Turning to his   friend he says,..aye...another good rest and  to have our spell folks prepared  is an important thing.

Then to the rest of his  friends....

  Bruga, and I will watch the door with Snare taking the last watch...Sam?...You  eat and rest as well, i do not know  what travels you had to get here... but you'll be picking up the slack on watches once  we hit the  wilds..so..enjoy this time now.....

 ..any of you who need to study or pray, make thay your main focus tonight before you rest...Between have the  roofover our  ehads,  Bruga, Snare, and I can handle  any watches,

 Then  the elf  Moves to the Kitchen to see what he can do, by way of making supper.

This message was deleted by the player at 14:27, Fri 17 June 2016.

Sam agrees to take the last watch. Happy he wasn't asked to stand watch some where in the middle.
....after supper if kree finds stuff to eat
Thanking Kree for his assistance and for dinner Sam sits down and opens a book. Plain in looks, nothing more then stiffened hide and paper. On the pages were very few words but cluttered with dots, dashs, and lines.
....assuming no events till then
As everyone settles in getting ready to head to bed Sam picks up his instrument that has been hanging around his neck and begins to play a smooth peacefully melody.
About 3 Notes into the song something else hanging from Sam's neck under his shirt begins to faintly glow almost unnoticeable.
A relaxing calm feeling flows through everyone as their muscles seem to loosen up or their minor aches seem to subside a little.
Finishing up going through the pages of this book Sam heads to bed.

healing melody +2 to you HP if you were in range.  everyone should have been would be prior to first watch

09:44, Today: Sam Steelstrong rolled 2 using 1d2.  Trinket roll for group.

In reply to Sam Steelstrong (msg # 196):

Clair smiles at Sam, a nice touch, Keep that safe and you are even more talented then a moment ago.  She pulls Snare close and settles to listen absently petting Snare to sleep.

"Yes, I agree, allowing us to use our spells to the best advantage for the group."  Sila finds a quiet spot to go over her spells and pray to her goddess.

If any were still in need of healing Sila provided the healing magic from her goddess to them. (3 Cure Light Wounds - first come, first served)


"Bruga, I have a spell I would like to cast upon you" (Armor : Recipient base AC 6 until taking 11 point damage)

I trust you; go ahead.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 199):

OOC - Sila, sorry, the Armor spell 2nd ed is only for you.  You cannot cast it on someone else and expect it to work :(   Bruga you will just have to se your charm and grace to avoid getting hit.  Unless you wan to train to be a mage???

Not allowed per the PHB. Interesting thought, though.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 201):
Oh yea, many of my Thieves would have loved that spell cast on them.

I use it all the time for mages at low levels when magic protection is not plentiful and also, MU/Th and F/MU it does wonders for as you can use a shield with it - funny but not magical protections.

sorry Bruga, misread the spell.    thanks for the clarification

In reply to Sila Thorton Duskmantle (msg # 203):

No problem, somethings can be house rules some cannot.  Now Bruga can become a mage if he likes, chuckle.

Multiclass so progress in both? (But slowly...decisions, decisions)

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 205):

Now Bruga it would take time and lot;s of training to become multi classed usually about 4-6 years if you are at a training facility with a high enough level classed person.  Kinda can be expensive too.

Of course, the gods are always out for acolytes and you may be able to only take 1-3 years in the Priest hood.


Multi Class as a Fighter/Thief would tale 1-2 years with a 3rd - 5th level fighter and cost roughly 10,000 gp per year.   Oh, you would level up splitting exp once you are ready (1st level) and splitting HP from that point to.

AS a Mage/Thief 3-6 year roughly 15,000 gp per year with 3rd - 5th level trainer

As a Priest/Thief 1-3 years roughly 1,000 gp per year with 3rd - 5th level trainer

If you were to try it traveling and adventuring it would be double the years and if you had a friend/group member do it for free it would not cost as much though specific supplies would be needed.

So yea, it could happen but highly unlikely due to the scores needed, cost and time.

Now I will not say if you happen to rescue a really high level mage with a Wish spell, or do some holy sacrifice for a god or find a magical item you could become multi classed right then and there.

You choose how to play your character I just guide you.   OK, it is not really in any rules I know but why not if the situation happens.

Humans have it easier but become duel/tri.... classed - less time training and cost but you stop advancing at the current level of the original class and start at 1st level of the new class until you reach the higher level with the new class to start getting HP again.   but humans can become more then one class - you have to make some really good scores and a life time devoted to it then you die of old age :)

Thanks for the clarification. I'll keep it in mind. Or I could roll a 1d1,000.

 GM?....I misunderstood the  map. I was thinking it was carved..INTO the  table, rather then a  relief  map?

 Rather then have anyone  waste  paper on a 'rubbing'.. Kree or whomever has  'the spare' sheet of paper  can make a crude  map , by marking the points of interest..?

 I'd  hate to see anyone lose gear, becasue I misunderstood.

Oh it is a magical mao that is both carved but yet reief and yet amost paper like flat.   You can make a sketch of i easily enough to ge a good idea and there actually is paper you find, not much but it looks like it is used for what you are doing.

In reply to GM (msg # 209):

Bruga, there is nothing in the "multiclass universe" that says one of your group members can try to teach/train you in a traveling style and if you are together for a long time, would become multi classed eventually or even maybe cut some time off of your training if you go at it seriously later.

Regret any confusion. I don't think it would be a good idea, at least for some time. Appreciate the idea. Speaking from a munchkin standpoint, it looks like a thief is pretty close to done at level 9. It may then be time to consider starting on being a mage or illusionist; the latter is closer to the rogue.

So any details are for the (far) future (assuming survival).

And if I'm not mistaken, by level 9 or 10, a thief is able to use mage scrolls. Correct me if I'm wrong.

PHB, p. 41. Yes, with a 25% chance of detrimental failure.* Never have I been, or been with, a 10th level thief...or any class for that matter. Except 1 in which my coplayers elected me most ineffectual 10th level mage ever.

I do have a mage in a suspended 3.5 game who has been effective.

*Three successes < one failure.
