Anyways folks, what are we doing here? You know the vine wall is at least 50 feet tall with possibly poisonous barbs and god knows what waiting on the other side. I'm not trying to push you all along, but unless you all give this a deep deep search or burn the vine wall down some how, the only choice I see is what Nolan suggested.

Just a reminder folks that a "being" that can summon Shambling Mounds and manipulate Treants and other plant life is not going to be a slouch and some of you can be killed.

Just your fair warning before you go over the wall.

It's great to be able to work as part of a dedicated team.  That said, depending on what the tree does to us, running away may very well be the best course of action.  BB hasn't exactly been subtle with his hints on how dangerous this is.

Lorrik is back at the camp where we left the horses.  It's "relatively" safe.  If we can get back there, we can pick him up, regroup and come back some day when we're more powerful or have researched what we need to win.

If Nolan can get the waystone working, some of us can get out that way.  Personally, I'm going to try to fly back to Lorrik.  I just can't leave him to die in the wilderness.

Anybody else that can fly, or someone small that I can carry can come with me.  I'm not sure what Amara or Kalli have left to help get anyone else out.

And all of this assumes that we survive the next round.

My Christmas wish is that Byron and Myarra chop the damn thing down and there is much rejoicing.   That's not the way I'd bet, however.

How are we doing with the tree.  Just a few cracks?  Chopped half-way through the trunk?

I "might" be able to take one more set of attacks from it, but I need to know if we even have a chance, or if now is the time to retreat.

And if it's time to retreat, how are we going to do it?  Can we just plain run away and worry about getting over the wall once we're out of range?

I can carry one person over the wall.  Can anyone else get over it?

Who can use the waystone?  I hate breaking the party up, but it's looking like a necessity.

Which very might be the reason we all end up back in time.   BB is tricksy.

I have no idea what Nolan was planning, if anything.  Did he abandon us?  Has he gone for some kind of help?  If so, can he get back to us in time?  At this point, I just don't know.

Can Amara open the waystone up to allow us to leave?

Amara probably can.

Kali, maybe, if someone's told her how to use it safely.

However, I'm in agreement with you in that if we try to use it we will end up back in time.  Hence Hans' warning.

Another round is going to be bad for us.  So lets cut out while we can.

I'm going to go over the wall.  Lorrik is still out there.  I can't leave him to die.

But what about the rest of you?  I'd rather not split the party, but I'm not sure we can avoid it.  I can carry anyone other than Byron.  Sorry, Byron, I just can't lift that tank you wear.

But do we have the capacity to get the rest of the party over the wall?  If not, some of you are going to have to go through the waystone.

Kali can carry herself, but she'd never leave Raieylan behind, let alone any other party member. I agree we need to research this thing before we can attack it again. Kali might be able to perate the stone, but she hasn't been told how.

I really don't think this is going to work.  However, too many people have already posted moves for this round, so I'm going to stick this round out and hope for the best.

However, if I survive, and if the tree isn't pulled up by the roots, then I intend to grab someone and flee.

Is there anyone else that can escape on their own?

Once I get my passenger to safety, I can come back for another, but I have no idea how long that's going to take.

And can anyone get Byron to safety?  He's the one person I can not carry.

And Kalli, I do include Raieylan as someone in need of rescue.  I'll take a few scratches to save his life.  Assuming those scratches don't kill me in my current state.  <sigh>

OK, the enclosed vine wall area where you all are in is about 300 yards in diameter and you guys are right in the middle. So, to get to the closest wall edge is 450 feet as the crow flies.

So, Myarra, you're about 15 feet in the air currently and the vine wall is 50 feet tall.

At your current height, you'd have to dodge around trees to get to the 450 feet and then go over the wall. Or, you could fly up past tree height, then glide down over the wall, which would probably save more time.

I looked for Flight speed modifiers (x3) and (x4), but I was having trouble finding them. Anyone here know where that is? I've never had to use that until now.

So Aliana, you would still be flying with Myarra for at least 4 rounds before you set foot on ground again.

From "Rules of the game" they have a section for "running" while flying

A creature using natural flying speed can use the run action. As with any other run action, the creature must move in a straight line. A flyer using the run action cannot gain more than 5 feet of altitude, but it can lose any amount of altitude, and it gains the normal bonus movement for the altitude lost (5 feet per 5 feet descended, a maximum of twice its normal flying speed.) For example, a harpy could use the run action to fly 320 feet in a straight line. While doing so, it could not gain more than 5 feet of altitude.

So Myarra can't run until she's at the same height as the plant wall.  So she moves at 60'/round until she reaches 50', which would take 2 rounds. (30' forward, 30' up each round), but then she can accelerate to x4 speed (240'/round) to fly over the hedge and land outside.  That looks like it would take 1 more round to reach minimum safe distance (trading altitude for forward speed).

So, by my calculations, it will take 3 rounds to get Aliana to safety, and then 3 more rounds to come back.

This does not look good.  I'm going to have to rethink the whole leaving thing unless the others can get to the waystone.

Your a diabolic one, Mr. BB.

<sigh>

How are everyone else at either getting out, or getting to the waystone?

Now we are down to two choices.  Either get to the waystone all at the same time and use it, hopefully successfully or risk running through the tear and possibly ending up back in time.  I don't know which option is better or worse.

Myarra, Roen, and I can only take one to two more hits from those things.

I suspect that the two black elementals can't take a whole lot more damage before they are destroyed.  Our problem is what else will that damned demon call up.

Exactly, if I smack the elementals, I think I can take them out.  But the tree will just call up more.  So that's a no-win scenario.

Can anyone blast a hole in the plant wall?  Just big enough for us to run through?

Nobody has said that they CAN activate the waystone, so I'm not sure that's even an option.

If nobody can activate the waystone, and nobody can punch through the wall, the tear might be our only option, no matter how bad that might be.

Which leads to a personal dilemma.  Lorrik is out in the woods.  If I go through the tear, we're leaving him to die.  If I go back to him while everyone else goes through the tear, that splits the party.  The only solution, which is pretty stupid, is that everyone goes through the tear while I fly back and get Lorrik.  I then return with him and go through the tear, hoping we all end up together.

The Waystone is the center Black Area on the map. It's NOT in the torn Weave. Nolan used the Waystone. He is still in the current time line. Using the Waystone takes you back to the hub and from there you choose your new destination.

Yeah, I'll grab the flail for now. We can keep talking about what to do with it when we're back home.  It's better than trying to leave it here.

Just have everyone standing by to take me down in case the flail is the kind of thing that tries to take control of its user.   Note I said down, as in unconscious, not down, as in dead.  Just wanted to be clear on that.

Just to remind the players where they are, please refer to Map 0 for the Tower, which is located in the Southern Part of the Forest, which is section 8 on Game Map T. The Hub, which the party is currently at, is section 5 on Game Map T. The Forest Waystone Thread has a list of the places and pictures.

I need to clean this up. Does anyone know of a website where I can store pictures? I used to use Photobucket, but the pictures just come up as links now and I don't want that.

Myarra:
Myarra is disappointed that she can't get the flail into the tower, but she's not terribly surprised.   She's going to have to go to plan B.   It was a pity, she'd really been looking forward to a bath.  But she can't leave flail unattended just to indulge herself.

Sighing to herself, she hauls the evil weapon back to where the others are still standing.  "Byron, looks like we're going to have to take this thing to Soubar.  We'll have to hope the temple of Lathander can do a better job than we can ... again.  Would you mind getting me some canvas or cloth or something to wrap it up in. It's not really safe to just have anybody know we have it.  And the tower won't let me bring it in ... so ..."

.

For what its worth,  Aliana has connections to the Oghma temple and library, if that helps

It looks like #11 goes close to the tower we want.  Based on the way I read the updates in the waystone thread.

quote:
11. = Waystone near Wizard Tower T--Hydra in swampy water confirmed by Nolan and Myarra


OK, I want to explain something as it might get confusing. The Waystone part of that sentence was confirmed by Hanns the Librarian and the Hydra was confirmed by Myarra and Nolan.

I drew the number on the map for reference so you all would know what it was. BUT, you don't know what selection to choose to get to that location.

I need to alter the map with matching numbers when you confirm locations.

First off, you have 45 miles just to get to Soubar, where I'm thinking you'll sell off loot? Then another 100? to Triel?

You all are riding Light Horses, and with your weights, they'll do about 32 miles a day.

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/movement.htm

Stopping to talk to anyone other than directions will decrease distance, as well as getting into a fight with anything.

Also, selling loot in town, if you wish to do so, will take several hours. But, we can role-play that as we get to it. :)

Okay, I'm confused.  I know, I know, what's new?

I though Soubar was in a different direction and that we were going to go directly to the village, pay off Lorrik's debt with the cash we have on hand, and then return and go to Soubar.

But if Soubar is on the way, then yes, we'll stop for a couple of hours in Soubar to sell the loot, then head for the farm, keeping stopping, talking, and fighting to a minimum.

I figure five or six days to get to the village.  Is that enough time?

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

The GM has a map of the area in the Campaign Maps thread that shows the trail going to Soubar. I had to look up Triel in my Forgotten Realms campaign book, but found it on the map. I'm figuring that it will take us more than a day to get to Soubar. By the time we sell the loot, we might as well spend the night there, so that's 2 days, and leave in the morning. Then it will be another 3+ days to get to Triel, by my calculations and an unknown amount of time to deal with Lorrik's predicament. Then Roen would like to buy building supplies there with his share of the money to go back into the forest to help find the ghost's body in the ruined tower where we fought the gargoyles. I told the party I was going to do this. I figure at least pushing 3 weeks before he returns to the village with Nolan, if the clean-up takes that long to do.

Agreed. You'll probably arrive late afternoon at Triel, assuming there are no complications for you.

So, 5.5 days just to get to Triel, then the talks, then gathering Roenthelm's supplies. At least 2 days to get to the ruined tower where the ghost is and an unknown amount of clean up time.

You all have fun with that.

My only concern is getting there before Lorrik's taxes are due.  We don't want to arrive and find out they've already confiscated his farm.

I believe Amara's horse survived, but I am not sure. Just let me know if I need to mark gold out for buying a new horse. Amara is not particularly a horse lover.

Twiggy, Amara is also rather small and you could easily ride with her.

Nolan's horse, Aliana's horse and Twiggy's horse are gone. Lennox's horse is available, so Amara and Twiggy can ride that one. So, that leaves Aliana...I guess she can ride with Kalliyan?

You all might want to get more horses in Soubar. The farmers in Daak need theirs...

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

I don't recall that being said. I remember Nolan saying that he will be in his labs and to not hurry back because he won't miss you. LOL

So, you have a couple options here:

1. Go back to Daak like Roenthelm suggested...that's another day back to the village, an unknown amount of time for the spells and then another day back to Soubar.

2. Don't identify anything and save it till you get back to Daak...Will your spare change buy the horses you need? The building supplies you need to clean up Vernon's tower? To pay off Lorrik's debt?

3. Get items identified in town....that will cost 100 gp per item, which Nolan would have taken out of the party treasure anyways if he didn't have enough supplies

4. Or, I can just say that he identified them before you guys left to Soubar? But, that would be kinda cheating and it's my job to keep things realistic here...:)

What do you all want to do?

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Amara could use either the dagger or the wand.

As one usually only gets something like 40-60% of price for selling back, it's probably better to keep what we have, if someone reasonably wants it.

She doesn't currently have any magic weapons, so the dagger would be nice.

The wand requires melee touch attack, while she tries to remain out of melee range - so is better, really, when surprising someone - but a wand makes it obvious.

She could take or leave either of them.

You have a nice vacation too, Byron and Big Boss!

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

I honestly don't think this tower project will cost much gold. If it's Roenthelm's plan to pay for it with his share of the treasure, then we need to divide evenly.

I suggest that players who could use the items we found get them, but we'll keep a tally on how much they got to keep things fair. Byron has a debt to the party that should be cleared up, but don't sell off any items that we could use, like that bow.

We should sell off the normal stuff to help out with paying back Amara for the pearls she used or to help pay off Lorrick's loan

I'm in agreement with Nolan about not selling off things we can use.  I'm also in agreement with him about making sure that we help Amara recover the cost of the pearls she used as payment for identifying the items in question.

I suspect that my debt to the group should be cleared up, if not it won't be that much more.  We definitely want to make sure we get Lorrik back in time and have enough to pay off his debt.  He's earned it with the knowledge he gave us about the gargoyles.

OK, to clear things up, the total of all your food and drink for the group was 3 gold, 4 silver, 6 copper + tip (if you want to).

With the start of this post, I would like for you guys to discuss what you want to do with the items. Keep and distribute them to the party? Sell them?

Also, are you staying in town tonight, or camping along the road? You'll need to buy food for the road anyways, since you all practically used all your rations in the swamp area where you fought Mazmular. You might want to purchase horses so that each member has one.

Supplies for this Tower Project can be purchased in Triel.

I would like to move this along a bit, since there will probably be a couple weeks game time that goes by. Nolan's player has told me what he wishes to do during that time while he's in the tower.

If someone can actually use it, they should be allowed to, although we need to keep track of who gets what so that nobody starts collecting vast quantities at the expense of others.

As I said before, there's nothing there Myarra would care to take.

Sell everything else and split the proceeds (after paying Amara back).

Sleep on the road, we're losing time and need to get to Lorrik's farm before it gets taken away from him.

Myarra's horse survived the swamp, so she doesn't need to buy a new one.

How would the distribution be handled in this case? Because OOC, we don't really know how much this stuff is worth.

Do we total up the total value of everything we found, then divide by the number of people in the party to determine what each of us is supposed to get? Then, with that set "share", the bow is bought by Aliana and if her share doesn't cover the cost, she has a "debt" to the party?

Also, since Byron owes the party some money, his share would be that much less?

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Yes, that's how we've generally done it. Although I think keeping an item we only charged a percentage - was it like 75%? I can't remember that detail... But that's about the best we could hope for if we were to sell it back, where 50-60% is the norm.

Once things are identified, it's pretty easy to get their prices.

A +1 Returning Dagger is a total +2 weapon, so 8,000 gp. If we multiply that by 75%, it's 6,000gp. Amara used her own pearls for identify, so she's already paid in 500gp. So she'd be getting essentially 5,500 gp worth taking the dagger.

So we'd each take what we want, sell the rest, determine the total pot, figure out what are even divisions, and then get that amount.

Aliana, I know you want the bow and it makes good sense for us to keep it in the party.  I'll work with you anyway I can so that we can keep it for our use and make sure you don't have to take on any debt like I did for the Flame Tongue.

When I saw the Flame Tongue listed with the other items I realized that BB probably put it there for our benefit at some point in time.  It was useful against the gargoyle I hit with it.  I suspect it will see more use too.

I feel the same way about the bow, in that it will be very useful for someone in the party to be able to use it.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Okay, so the last post that I see on treasure (OoC 2) was:

Aliana: Bracers of Archery (Lesser), Ring of Protection +1, 6170.89gp
Amara: Bracers of Armor +3, Ring of Protection +1, Scroll of 3 spells, Wand of MM, 4573.39gp
Byron: Longsword (Flametongue), Platemail +2, -3511.61gp (debt)
Kalliyan: Bracers of Armor +1, Boots of the Winterland, Ring of Protection +2, 3920.89gp
Lennox: 9670.89gp
Myarra: Ring of Evasion, -1829.11gp (debt)  (Will pay off total with existing cash)
Nolan: Spellbook, 9120.89gp
Roenthelm: 9670.89gp
Twiggy: Dagger of Returning +1, 7519.89gp

So I think that the only one in debt was Byron and everyone else was even.

This treasure is:
+1 Returning Dagger (8,000 * 60% = 4,800)
+2 Shadow Chainmail (8,050 *60% = 4,830)
+2 Composite Longbow of Distance (18,400 * 60% = 11,040)
+2 War Hammer, Giant Bane (18,312 * 60% = 10,987.2)
219 gold
102 silver (10.2 gold)
19 copper (0.19 gold)
2 rubies (100gp each)
2 suits chainmail (300 * 60% = 180)
3 Large Steel shields (60 * 60% = 36)
1 great axe (20 * 60% = 12)
2 Longswords (30 * 60% = 18)
19 gold
23 silver (2.3 gold)
11 copper (0.11 gold)

For a total of 32,354 gold equivalent (with items at 60%, likely best return rate)

Divide that between our party of 9 + party fund (Amara, Byron, Kalliyan, Lorrik, Myarra, Nolan, Roenthelm, Aliana, and Twiggy) each should get the equivalent of: 3,235.4 gold, with the same amount also going into the party fund. (anything that we get less than 60% can come out of the party fund share).

So that comes out to:
Amara: Dagger (4,800gp) Total: -1,564.6 gold (debt) [Amara will be able to pay off her debt with gems she is carrying with her, and will do so]
Byron: (start with debt 3,511.61gp) Total: Remains in debt -276.21 gold (whomever had loaned him money would get his split - I didn't dig deep enough to find that)
Kalliyan, Lorrik, Myarra, Nolan, Roenthelm, and Twiggy: Each get 3,235.4 gold - which should more than satisfy Lorrik's debt
Aliana: Longbow (11,040) Total: -7,804.6 gold (debt)
Party Fund: Gets left over = 3,235.4 gold if we sell everything at 60% (less if less)

Oh, crap. And after doing all that, I looked again, and the treasure above. To keep things easy and prevent me from needing to redo the math, can we just say this stuff goes to the party treasure?
1 regular Longbow (15gp * 60% = 9)
17 arrows (I think someone took these?) (<1gp)
Cult whistle (Amara has - really for the party - game value, but little physical value)
Wand of Ghoul Touch 7 charges (630gp * 60% = 378gp)
Total: 387gp

Does that seem good and fair to everyone?
Aliana, do you have a way to pay for some/all of that debt? Or do you need to borrow from someone?

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Everything looks good to me. Nolan usually gets his share in 100gp pearls, which is easy to carry. There is a jewelry shop in Soubar where I referred Lennox to that will sell them. Probably a 1% markup like last time. The party should probably do that with the party's treasure fund as well.

Roenthelm:
Roen listen to the party's advice and shook his head in agreement. He gave plenty of coin to the Temples in this town, so it was time to help others in the next town.

"Yes, I planned on helping the young lad with his debt. I seem to remember a barn that was burnt down? What else do you think you'll need, Lorrik?"


If Lorrik is getting an equal share, he won't need any coin from you. He'll have plenty of his own. He just became a very rich young man.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

As I recall for buying, it's usually a roll, but base is 100% and it can go up or down from there for items.

Gems and pearls and such usually are at face value or with a very slight markup (buying) / markdown (selling) - like the 1% Nolan mentioned

It's always better to "buy" one of the items found from a price perspective - if it's something it makes sense for you to use.

I'll be honest, I'm surprised no one is taking the shadow chainmail.

Yea, the -5 armor penalty on chainmail kinda nulls the +5 hide, and it only has a +2 max dex.  If it was a chain shirt it would be worth it.

Might get this property later on cast on my mithril chain shirt.

Amara:
So that comes out to:
Amara: Dagger (4,800gp) Total: -1,564.6 gold (debt) [Amara will be able to pay off her debt with gems she is carrying with her, and will do so]
Byron: (start with debt 3,511.61gp) Total: Remains in debt -276.21 gold (whomever had loaned him money would get his split - I didn't dig deep enough to find that)
Kalliyan, Lorrik, Myarra, Nolan, Roenthelm, and Twiggy: Each get 3,235.4 gold - which should more than satisfy Lorrik's debt
Aliana: Longbow (11,040) Total: -7,804.6 gold (debt)
Party Fund: Gets left over = 3,235.4 gold if we sell everything at 60% (less if less)

Oh, crap. And after doing all that, I looked again, and the treasure above. To keep things easy and prevent me from needing to redo the math, can we just say this stuff goes to the party treasure?
1 regular Longbow (15gp * 60% = 9)
17 arrows (I think someone took these?) (<1gp)

Amara told Aki they would sell them the magical items that he identified that they decided not to keep - but she didn't say anything about the other things. So Amara is okay if the other things are sold elsewhere, but would stand firm that the identified items need to be sold to Aki (unless he was going to give outrageous prices). (She won't promise anything next time.)

The other missing horse was Lennox's but we won't have to worry about that. Lorrik rode with Byron, but he'll get one here.

Wouldn't a horse, even a light horse, be really big for a halfling? Twiggy is just over 3' (3'3") and weighs 33lbs (40 with armor). Twiggy thinks a pony, dog, or even a goat or ram would be more fitting.

I like cats and dogs, but I'm definitely a cat person. I love how when you call them and they ignore you most of the time and then they look at you like you just asked them to take you to the airport. "Why in hell are you bothering me, human!? Can't you see I'm busy sleeping!? I will come and get you when I need food. Go now before I poop on your pillow." LOL :)

Amara would mostly talk to Vernon, ensure his remains are handled the way he wishes, take Byron up on teaching her some swordwork (keeping in mind, she just wants to be good enough to not hurt herself - she doesn't plan to ever fight with it), etc.

OK, just wanted to mention that the Orc fight took place at the Old Arch Ruins, which is 20+ miles away...one way, from the tower you're working at. It's around 10:45am-ish, pushing 11am with preparations before leaving.

With ZERO interruptions, it will take you 5+ hours to get there, plus the same back.

Is this what you want to do?

We know that Roen.  However, in an environment where the number of things that can be deadly to you is higher than normal mercy can be something that gets you killed.

Our comments are not meant to be disrespectful to you or anyone else.  They just show what my character is thinking, and probably the other player characters are thinking as well.

BB how much more is left in the tower after we find Vernon's body and take care of it properly?

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

You did what your was right for your character.  I respect that, as does my character, even if she doesn't feel the same way.

But I do think it's clear that Ruby and the cult in general have no honor and we should expect some blow-back as a result.

My opinion is that we should get as much as we can get done today (and maybe a little tomorrow if necessary) and then leave.  The team is more than capable of taking on anything the cult can scrounge together at short notice, but the civilians can easily get killed by things that wouldn't make us blink.  It's not right to put them in unnecessary danger.

We can always come back later (weeks or months as necessary) to complete the job.  The dead aren't going to mind.

But I would like to get Vernon freed if at all possible.

Too bad there wasn't a waystone nearby. I could have come over with the golems and knocked the tower over and helped with the digging like when we cleared out that passage in Lyran's Hold.

But, I agree with Myarra. Jameson and his family could get killed, but the party is more than powerful enough to protect them. Aliana and Kalliyan could use their abilities of summoning to help with the digging. But, in the end, do what you feel is right. I know the Jameson's are only NPC's, but Jameson has a bit more than the average person, I think.

You bat your eyelashes and say "would someone hold my greatsword while I check this reference book" and people are trampled to death in the rush.

Yes, that's right.  I'm on to you and your wicked ways.  My daddy warned me about girls like you.  He said:  Myarra, you need to be careful of girls like Aliana.  Of course it didn't make much sense back then.

Roenthelm complained and the prisoners knew he was a Monk of Ilmater, or else it might have worked.

Amara's Hypnotism spell worked for a bit, but there was too many interruptions. Her mushroom trick might have worked as well, but with everything going on, the prisoners weren't going to let you do anything to them after that.

You're not going to get anything out of them now unless you actually start torturing or killing them.

Well it is what it is.  Word is going to spread around town now about Centauri and the townspeople are going to start questioning his motives a lot more now.  That looked to be about half his private army given BB's descriptions with a quarter of it dead, and another quarter, hopefully, fearful for their lives now that they pack up and run.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Remember that people will judge us by the state of our prisoners.  So, strip them of armor, weapons, and other belongings, but leave them their clothes.  We, after all, are the good people.

In any conflict between adventurers and law-enforcement, law-enforcement will always get the benefit of the doubt.

So, I think our story should be that these bandits jumped us in the woods.  There's no reason to bring up their connection to Centauri until our innocence is firmly established.   If someone brings it up, we can be surprised.  "What?  Guards?  Why would Centauri be sending guards to act like bandits?  I'm shocked and dismayed!"

If we start out stating that they're guards, then we're admitting to intentionally attacking guards.  That doesn't look anywhere near as good, especially when they claim the bandit story is a lie, which I'm sure they will.

We need the townsfolk on our side, or we're going to have one hell of a fight getting back out.

Someone make sure Lorrik understands this.

I'm going to have agree with Amara on taking them to another close by town and turning them in there.  We don't need an all open fight against Centauri.  We need him to waste his resources against us, or someone else instead of the people of Triel.  Probably, we need his stupid sons to come after us directly if we want to break his old over the town.

I also agree. I was just hoping we could take them back to Triel to let Centauri know that we're not going to take his crap and neither should the poor townsfolk. I'm pretty sure the prisoners would just get released, but then the townfolk would see this unfairness and possibly do something about it.

As much as I really really want to embarrass Centauri and turn the town against his unfairness, Amraa is right.  We will be accused of brainwashing the Jameson's and Lorrik and anyone else associated with them that happen to agree with us.

So where do we take them instead?  Soubar?  Ofcourse if we do then they will accuse me, and possibly the rest of you by association, of unfairness because I have a bit of a reputation there.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

The problem with taking them anywhere else is that we'll have to give a good reason why we didn't turn them in at the nearest town. Which means we'll have to accuse Centauri directly.

What are the chances we could make the accusation and pay for a Zone of Truth to prove it?

We've got Soubar, Scornbel, and Elturel to choose from.  They're all roughly equi-distant form where we are, and by BB's notes, it looks like about 100 miles.  Soubar is a town, Scornbel and Elturel are cities.

If BB hasn't changed the leadership from what the wikipedia articles say, Elturel might be a best choice, given that it's supposed to be run by a paladin.

Marching a train of prisoners 100 miles is mostly likely going to draw some notice.

And can we even get there without going through Triel?

Pay who for a Zone of Truth? It seems like everyone with some power is under the persuasion of Centauri. Even if they weren't, they'd be smart to refuse. I think we'd have to do it ourselves - and then we'd probably be accused of some sort of magic other than truth.

The leadership of the city of Eltuirel is a paladin (assuming BB hasn't changed things).  We might be able to get a fair hearing there.  But it's a long way a way.   This was in reference to the suggestion that we turn the bandits in somewhere other than Triel.

Then, your best bet would be to let them go now without gear. They'll run back home and tell their Boss, who in return, will send more men to kill you. The party kills more of them, and eventually Lord Centauri will run out of men to send after you. Simple Economics.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Don't even think about cutting me out of the adventure.  Mama demands her share of the giant metal shinnies!

On a personal note: I got the 2nd half of the shingles vaccine and, as a result, I've been laid up for the last three days.  Still better than getting shingles again. Once in a lifetime is one time too many.

Before that I was off-line for several days due to a conference at work.

And now I'm trying to catch up. Just to make sure I've got it right, Kalli and I are going to march the bad guys east for four hours and then let them go.  The rest of the party is going to escort the Jameson's back to town.

But will we actually go in?

I agree with Twiggy that our going to town is going to result in problems.  Centauri sent these guards to kill us.  First of all, that was stupid.  We were of no threat to him.  Second, it was incredibly stupid.  There was no way these guys were going to succeed.

Once Centauri finds out the ambush failed so completely, he's going to get panicky.  And panicky people in positions of power make potentially perilous plans.

So, the question is: Will the Jameson's be safe in town, or will Centauri use this as an excuse to steal their business as well as brand us criminals?   They might be a lot safer if we aren't around them when they get home.  And we definitely need to make sure there isn't anything even vaguely incriminating in the wagon.  And we absolutely positively supercalifragilisticexpialidocious need to make sure Lorrk knows to keep his lip buttoned and to not make any accusations.

Do we search for the mine and try to unravel the mystery, or go and let Centauri commit suicide by adventurer?  The latter is easier and more fun, but innocent people will most likely suffer.

Myarra, Byron's opinion (and mine as player) is that we avoid going into town if at all possible.  March them east for 3 and 1/2 or so.  Tell them to keep marching that way for a while while you guys catch back up to us.  I'm going to be sort of in the middle of the two groups.  Charger should be able to catch up to the Jameson's and company once you catch up to me.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Yes, I see you guys having some problems, but look at it this way. When you get to town, I'm sure there will be people watching the road. They will see you guys instead of their guys. You will be a day ahead. They will go tell their boss, who in return will send somebody to go investigate. It will take another day for them to reach the house, which will be a charred ruin by then. They will spend the night there and head for the forest in the morning. That will take them several more hours to be at the ruin where you guys fought them.

One of two things might happen then. They will wonder where the rest of their group went when they count less than 10 dead bodies. They will either split their forces and send some East along the trail to find them, or they will all go back home because they will be coming back to tell their boss what happened. That total will be close to 3 days.

With the way things are going, I don't see any problems with the little sisters. With the group at the farm's front door with the big brother wanting to know if they want to leave, there will be some arguments, but I see the sisters going.

The Jameson's on the other hand, there might be problems. Old people don't want to move. But, he might, to help out his sons. The idea of a woodshop in Daak is a good one. The Jameson's could work there and deal with the woodshop in Soubar. It could become a partnership, since Byron might know who the carpenter is, being from Soubar.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

I'm a bit frustrated - so many things happened in less than 24 hours...

There's several things that Amara would have done.

When it was obvious Dorothy was only going to get in the way, she would have cast sleep on her.

She would have told the other two girls to only take anything sentimental - not to fully pack - that they needed to get going quickly - not taking several minutes. We should have been moving before then.

She would have cast phantom battle on the approaching guards to slow them down so they could escape... And obscuring mist if needed to continue the get-away.

Would have cast mage armor on at least herself, probably others like Lorrik, if it seemed like things were going to come to a battle...


Instead several minutes went by in less than 24 hours and because not everyone can be on all the time, we didn't all get to act...

Now there's not really a good time for action - most of these things would have somewhat changed things that now are declared as done. That's really frustrating.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Actually, in my opinion, you should be happy with the way things are going. You are in the town of Triel and they have laws. Casting Sleep on the older sister, as well as the Phantom Battle on the approaching guards is considered Assault and you could be arrested for that and the Jameson family could lose their home. Also, taking two minor children with only Dorothy as a witness? She would no doubt claim they were abducted. Then the party would be considered outlaws.

Now, the party has witnesses to their law-abiding right to escort children with their brother to a safe location. No doubt there are farmers now watching the whole scene. A group of 20 people in front of a farm that has already experienced tragedy will get some attention.

I know I'm not there, but I know OOC that some players have high Intelligence scores, so adding some OOC comments like this once in awhile would be OK, in my opinion because most likely those PC's would think the same thing, even though the player himself might not.

I'm with Nolan on this one.

We have the law entirely on our side at the moment.  We should use it against them.  That should really piss them off.

Then, when they attack us, we're just defending ourselves and these helpless civilians that the guards have put into unnecessary danger.

But if we can delay it, then we also get more time to prepare and find out what we're up against.  This group is probably better than the last, but I'll still bet on us.

I doubt we'll have to wait long.  Nelson is too full of himself to let us go without proving himself to be superior to us.  But he does know better than to do it where there are witnesses.

On the other hand, I'd be just as happy if he did let us go.  We have a lot of civilians that could be easily killed by even a single wizard.  Their safety is more important that me wanting to mount Nelson's head on a pike.

Besides, once the civilians are safe, we could always mosey back to town and plant ourselves in the tavern and see what happens.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Like I said in my post, the errands Jameson did in town with his sons and an escort from the party was done before 7pm. It's starting to get dark now. The party is back at Jameson's place and are helping with the packing. You'll be able to leave for Elturel in the morning. The wagon is going to be full from what the Jameson's are taking and he is making his sons walk because they need to lose weight. Lorrik's sisters, on the other hand, might need to share a ride with a party member. Lorrik can take one on his horse...

The information Kalliyan heard between Nelson and Brenton is known by the whole party and you've planned for it. THEY just don't know that YOU know. However, any attempt on somebody's life won't be in daylight with witnesses around, so is there anything special anyone wants to do?

I agree with Amara. Let's use out advantages to our advantage.  It's highly unlikely we'll be attacked by humans before dawn, and it will be hard enough for them to even follow us.  We'll need to lead the horses since they don't have dark vision, but I'd love to see the look on Nelson's face when he wakes up and we're miles down the road.

Just for our information, what kind of moons light are we talking about?

1/2 moon. It'll give you enough light to travel down the farm trails to get you to Elturel, which is 56 miles away. I found information of traveling in the past for my other game and copied the details over to this one.

Jameson has one heavy horse pulling the wagon with their belongings, so with Jameson's sons complaining about all the walking you'll probably get 16 miles max per day. It'll take 3+ days to get to Elturel.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

When I moved to my new place, it took me 3 days to pack my stuff, so 3 hours here with all the help is a huge decrease.

Also, I'm an avid hiker. In 2014, I did the 3-peak challenge in Southern California. Mt. San Jacinto, Mt San Antonio and Mt. San Gorgonio. 1 peak each weekend. The longest one was San Gorgonio at 18.2 miles. It took me 11 hours and I could barely walk the next 3 days after that.

So, 3 consecutive 16 mile days on a regular farm road for 3 "Average" young Men (Con scores of 10) is charity.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Oh, the miles, I agree with.

The packing is where I have a lot of trouble - and I've moved from Michigan to Washington to Pennsylvania to Iowa to Indiana, so I know something of packing.

We're talking about a setting reflecting a day and age when most people had three outfits - two normal, and one Sunday. Unless they were truly rich, they often lived in houses with between 1-3 rooms for everyone in a family. I would expect with everyone grabbing their things, it should take between 1-2 hours, assuming they leave large furniture behind, which at least Amara would be encouraging them to do. But it's going to be another 2 hours at this point? How long does that bring packing up to in total?

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

And they have the entire party to help haul things out and pack into the wagon.  The Jameson's effectively just have to point at the things they want to bring.  I doubt there are any moving stores available to provide packing boxes and bubble-wrap, so mostly it will just be tretris'd into the wagon as-is.

Granted, especially valuable (monetarily or sentimentally) and especially fragile things they'll want to pack and carry themselves.  But we can handle all the heavy lifting.

And given the size of the wagon, making assumption based on the trees we hauled to the tower, a couple of bureaus and chests (with everything still inside them), tables, and chairs should be no problem.  Again, assuming only a few people are on the wagon and everyone else rides.

Just my thoughts, although I, as always, bow to the ruling of BB as the good little brown-nosing sycophant I am.


I assume Lorrik's sisters both know how to ride (farm girls should), I'll walk behind the wagon and one or both of them can ride my horse.  Hardy adventuring lasses like me are use to walking and can easily keep up with a loaded wagon.

So I'll be looking back and to the sides, Amara will be leading the horses and watching ahead.   The rest of the party can fan out with some riding ahead, behind, and to the sides as the light levels and terrain allow.  Raie will, of course, be Raie.

I remember when my friend's Dad died and we cleaned out his shop. He built motors for boats and it took us forever to go through all the stuff to separate the tools and other stuff from the junk that could be thrown away, so I can totally see Jameson taking several hours to go through his tools determining what he wanted to take and leave.

But, I'm not there. Carry on. *laughs*

I'm like 50/50 on this one. I see Jameson as a little town carpenter with his tools. He might have 1 or 2 fancy tools, but most of his supplies is wood, which would be left behind to the other carpenter he sold his shop to. If his shop is clean/tidy, I say maybe 1 hour to get his stuff. I see him as a clean worker, especially with 3 sons he's trying to teach his skills to. Plus, he had competition with the other carpenter in town, so he'd want to make an impression on his customers with a clean shop.

So, I'm with Amara on this one.

OoC: Does the town have livestock - like horses - clearly available for sale? Or might Jameson been able to switch out his heavy horse as part of the deal in selling to the other townsfolk?

Yes, the town has livestock for sale. You'd have to go look at what they have.

Thinking about the time with what you all have been saying, it does seem reasonable that Jameson is an "average" Carpenter with a few specialty tools and that packing his stuff up wouldn't take that long....so the party could leave around 7-ish and knowing that he's traveling within the hour, he could switch out the horse with Connor.

So, there is a question about sleep/rest for the spell-users. They need 8 hours rest, but the traveling and set-up time of the guard shifts was pretty late and at 6am, they are maybe getting 5 hours...

Do you want to stay there and rest until the 8 hours is reached, or do you want to press on to get more distance away from Triel? If my memory serves me right, not getting the 8 hours prevents spell-users from getting spells that day....

We all slept yesterday (before burning down the supply farm), so we should all be full-up on spells.  At least I can't remember anybody casting anything, though I might be wrong.

The only things is the spellcasters will have to have the 8 hours if they want to change their current selections.

And if anybody really wants to, they can try sleeping in the wagon to get their last few hours.  I know I've slept in worse.

I also found the movement I was looking for. In the PHB pg. 164 is Overland Movement. The movement is slow because of Jameson's wagon. 16 miles per day, or 2 miles per hour.

Last night, you got maybe 9 miles. Today, you got 16.

Forced March is also on pg. 164 if you wish to do that.

I get about 4 miles per day total under normal circumstances, and that's spread across the whole day.  If I had to walk for 8 hours straight (short breaks not withstanding) I'd never survive.   And 4 miles a day is (according to my doctor) twice as much as most Americans get.

That's why adventurers, even low level ones, are seen as "heroes" when they beat up a group of goblins and return a farmer's pig.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Based on the on-line reference stuff, Triel to Elturel is about 62 miles.  We can travel 16 miles per day, with no more than 8 hours on the road.  We've been travelling for a day and a half, and come 25 miles so far (according to BB) with 37 miles more to go, which is two more full days of travel, plus a half day.

Nelson and his cronies (assuming light horses) have a movement rate of 32 miles (again assuming armor and weapons adding a bit of weight).  They can cover the entire distance in just two days total.  We are simply not going to out run them if they do come after us.

So there's really no point in travelling at night.  We might just as well do it during the day when we can see where we're going, and (hopefully) what's coming up behind us.  Travelling at night the first night made sense because it got us out of town before they could stop us.  Now they have to decide if chasing us is worthwhile.

We could do a forced march, but the penalties pile up so fast that it really doesn't do much good.  They'd still catch up with us, and we'd be fatigued and unable to fight effectively.

So my vote would be to leave at dawn, travel eight hours, camp, rest, and do what scouting we can to make sure nobody ambushes us.

And, if everyone is in agreement, we can just have BB fast-forward until we:
A) Reach Elturel
B) Spot somebody coming after us
C) Get ambushed.

Anybody that wants spells cast, or specific defenses can announce them in advance.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Agreed, if they really want to outrun us, they can. But it becomes less likely if we get at least 32 miles away (where if it would be more than a day for them to reach us).

If we immediately start four shifts of 3 hours each, to ensure everyone gets 9 hours of down time (sleep and for those who need it study/prayer), we could start again at about 3 in the morning.

Does that really matter? If we assume that the left by noon, they would likely catch up to us around 8-10pm. So probably not if they wanted to come for an immediate fight. But if they had a scout and wanted to stay back or go around on side trails to set an ambush, they might well think that they have until daylight. And by that time, we could already move past where they would otherwise set up that ambush.

So I view us pressing on before light as not changing in any fashion the possibility for them to catch up and just plain fight us, but reducing the likelihood for them being able to prepare an effective ambush.

And I'm all for fast-forwarding until the conditions you note, Myarra.

I appreciate the sentiment, Nolan.   But I still fear it would go:

Wizard and Golems teleport in.  Stuff occurs.

Guard 1: Okay, the demon's dead.  Now what all this then?

Guard 2: Do you have a permit for heavy construction equipment in a residential zone?  Iron-clad locomotion on an un-improved road?  That's going to be fines plus reconstruction costs, never mind the damage you've caused to the architecture.

Guard Captain: And Joe's Rat-On-A-Stick shack was a historical landmark!

Guard 1: Teleportation without prior authorization?  And no safety cones surrounding the landing zone?  By Helm, there are children running around!  What kind of monster are you?

Guard 2: Is that algae I see on their feet?  That's a violation of the quarantine statutes!  Do you want a plague?  Because this kind of gross negligence is how you get plagues!

Guard Captain: Well feller-me-lad, this is going to run a pretty sum.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

OK, what's the plan here?

I'm assuming Myarra is going to crash in her room while some of the party members looks for passage on a boat heading to Scornubel?

I'll be using the price in the PHB for passage on a boat which is 1 silver per mile, double that for your horse. So minimum for each person with a horse will be 3 silver a mile...and that price is ONE WAY. Elturel to Scornubel = 88 Miles

Also, pg 164 PHB states that rivers and lakes can only handle Rafts, barges, keelboats and rowboats...

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

I'd have to disagree with that BB. I can understand small rivers where only rafts and row boats can go, but rivers like the Mississippi River have big boats going up and down all the time. And with the Elturel map having docks and what appears to be a shipyard, they're making more than Keelboats.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Okay, in between snoring and making silly statements, I've taken a look at the travel situation.

Here's my take on it.  In case of TLDR, my recommendation is we just take the road.


River travel around Elturel is said to be conducted by rafts, pole-barges, or keelboats.  These are primarily used to carry large quantities of goods which would be problematic if done overland.  It's easier to go by water, but not anywhere near as fast.  But that's fine for bulk cargo.

If you want to send an important letter, you use a courier on horseback.  If you want to send several tons of coal, you send it by barge.

According the experts on the internet, the River Chionthar is navigable by pole-barge as far north as Iriaebor, being a wide, slow moving waterway.  Sailboats would be possible, but that would depend on the wind, which we have no information on as nobody has written a treatise on Faerunian meteorology.

It would up to BB as to whether or not a sailboat can be hired, but I'd suspect such a transport would be significantly more expensive, and there's no guarantee we could get one big enough to carry our horses as well.

According to the PHB, a poled barge can make 5 miles per day, rowed barge can make 10 miles per day.  It says that when going downstream you can add the speed of the river (3mph if unspecified) to your travel.  But, unfortunately, we're going upstream, so let's say maximum speed on the river is 10 miles/day.  At 88 miles (round to 90 for math's sake) we can get to Scornubel in 9 days at best, 18 days at worst.

If a sufficiently large sailboat can be hired, it would take 2 days to reach Scornubel, assuming the winds were average.

On the other hand, there is a major road going directly to Scornubel.  We can walk that in 4 days (assuming we all have a 30' movement rate), or ride horses and reach it in 2 days.

I'm not really seeing any reason to take the river in this case.   It's more expensive, draws more attention, and isn't appreciably faster than just riding up the road.

Raie Dragged In, sung to the tune of Cat Dragged In by Poison.  lol

I went to bed too late
And got up too soon
My poor head still spinnin'
From too much fight

I got a foot in the gutter
A foot in the grave
I ain't seen home
In the last three days

Oh my god look what Raieylan dragged in
Livin' my life fight after fight
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my god, look what Raieylan dragged in

No tell, motel, hotel bed
If it wasn't for the sunlight I'd swear I was dead

I got Myarra on the left of me
Kali on the right
I know damn well I fought with both last night

Oh my god look what Raieylan dragged in
Livin' my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my god, look what Raieylan dragged in (sin after sin)

I'm late for work on Monday
And my boss is bitchin'
Can't get out of bed
'Cause my head's still spinnin'

My hair's in a rat's nest
I look like hell
Half alive or half dead,
I just can't tell

Oh my god look what Raieylan dragged in
Livin' my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my god, look what Raieylan dragged in (Raie dragged in)

Raie dragged in (Raie dragged in)

Today's song is Kali's Guy to the tune of Kathy's Clown by the Everly Brothers.

I want your love all the more
I want your kisses, that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that's Kali's guy

I gotta stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
When he knows you're teasin' him and he wants you all the more
He's not a man at all

I want your love all the more
I want your kisses, that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that's Kali’s guy

When you see me shed a tear
And you know that it's sincere
Don't you think it's kinda sad that you're teasing me so bad
Or don't you even care?

I want your love all the more
I want your kisses, that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that's Kali’s guy

Another reworked song.  This one is a little more modern.

Shut Up and Fight
Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and fight with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and fight with me
We were victims of the knight
The armor, physical, kryptonite
Helpless to the yelling and the fading light
Oh we were bound to get together
Bound to get together
She took my sword
I don't know how it happened
We took the field and she said
Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and fight with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and fight with me
A backless armor and some beat up boots
My arena Myarra teenage dream
I felt it in my chest as she looked at me
I knew we were bound to be together
Bound to be together
She took my sword
I don't know how it happened
We took the field and she said
Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and fight with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and fight with me
Oh, c'mon girl
Deep in her eyes
I think I see the future
I realize this is my last chance
She took my sword
I don't know how it happened
We took the field and she said
Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and fight with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and fight
Don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and fight with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and fight with me
Oh oh oh shut up fight with me

So far behind
Like the shadows linger at the close of day
And we could see
We were timeless dreamers of another day
And we were free
In a dawning age we had so much to say
Oh, the day you came to me
A green leather lady so eager to be free
And the wind in your long hair blowin' as we stood at the portal
Oh, Kalliyan
Kalliyan
We made the dark into light
We saw the wrong and the right
We were for life
And we would never concede it

We left the world behind
A million hands gave the sign
We held the line

We could live
Just to turn the world into our fantasy
And we could give
Aquarius was really meant to be
You and I we were there to see the dawn
Side by side we had love to carry on
And I still hear swords in the air as we sat in the trees
Oh, Kalliyan

We saw the wrong and the right

Fortunately, Myarra is far too modest to ever notice such things.

That's what I think. He doesn't care about his body. He cares for his wife and after what he heard from the old lady about his wife, I think the bond became even stronger. He also hates the Centauri family because all of his troubles are linked to them.

2020 can just go sit on a running chain-saw for all I care.

Things were just getting back to something like normal, and then ....

I had a crown fall out.  Which was caused by the tooth underneath disintegrating.  Which required the tooth to be extracted.  Which caused dry-socket.

I've been out of it for the last several days on pain meds while waiting for my head to stop throbbing.  At least it's not a disco-beat.  Although I might be able to take Disco Duck in small quantities.

Meanwhile Myarra's hanging around the Inn.  She really can't stand this city ... or ghosts.

But she has learned her lesson after the last visit.  No more than one (1) ale per evening.

And no matter what the bards play, she'd not dancing on the tables .... any more.

So, if some party members continue on down the road and the rest of the party going to investigate the skeletons and the smoke, it will be an unknown amount of time before the party is together again. The horses on the trail will be moving a lot faster than the wagon would have.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

As long as they travel at normal (overland) speed, those of us that go check on the fire can "hustle" to catch up afterward.  We can move twice normal speed for up to an hour without any problem, and even a second or third hour wouldn't really hurt us.

It really depends how long it takes us to deal with the fire and other threats.  Frankly with Fritz and Kalli's bird form, they'll have no trouble at all.  Myarra, on the other hand will have put some effort into it.  Aliana is really the unknown factor.  I can always carry her if necessary.

And if the smoke/undead is serious, I've got a spell that can let me alert the others.  And we can always just make a run for it if necessary.

I'm all in favor of helping.  Dying in the process goes against my code.

Oh, thanks for the clarification.

I don't think we want to take the non-adventurers to investigate, so Amara is planning to remain on the road with them - presumably keeping walking, so the others can jog to catch up.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

In case you want to do it:

1) Make a list of all the languages everyone speaks, ignoring Common.

2) Go to the GM Menu.

3) Go to "Edit Private Groups"

4) Put all the languages in the grid at the top.

5) Assign all the players to the appropriate group #'s

6) Click Update

And, abracadabra, the language selections are available.

Safe Yes. Well, No. Several employees are sick with Covid-19 and 1 died at the local hospital. I'm fortunate to have not caught it, or I already had it but didn't know it. Symptoms vary between people. A friend of mine from work was just tired and lost his sense of taste for a bit, while another friend of mine had every symptom known in a sickness! So, when a job needs to be done at work by the missing employee, other employees like me do my job, plus theirs. Nice OT, but I'd rather see the employee come back.

Even if I can't keep it, I'm still up for giving it a test drive as soon as we figure it out.  Twigster, you're my co-pilot!

We can put it aboard the Mariasha, and then fly out to sea.  We'll drop it overboard and have it attack ships from below, then we can go and save the crew of the floundering vessel ... for a fee, of course.

Damn, Air Pirate Queen and Deep Sea Pirate Queen both at the same time!

Do you all want to start your Temple searches early in the morning or finish off the day? Remember, it's summer, so day light will still be out until 7-8pm before it starts getting dark.

So, while Roenthelm, Aliana, Vernon and Twiggy are busy talking in the dining hall about what to do next, Nolan, Amara and Myarra come back down stairs, grab all of you and you head back down into the basement to try and scry on the crystal again. The four Temples Hanns mentioned  are the Temple of Lathander, Temple of Arvoreen, Temple of Corellon Larethian and the Temple of Moradin. All of them are located on your map. Amara scries these 4 locations to see if they have any danger, but they seem to be safe. But, the Senate Chambers are quite busy with Cult of the Dragon activity!


They are safe...for now! Muah ha ha ha!

Myarra:
Myarra grinned a horrible grin.  It was one of those grins where she doesn't feel the need to hide her fangs.

"We shouldn't have any trouble.  And if we do, I'll just fly off and meet you at the waystone in the morning.  Let's see how this works."

After climbing back up onto the main deck, she casts enlarge and takes to the air.

She circles the island until she can see the cave Kalli had spoken of and then swoops down, landing heavily just outside the entrance, doing the one-knee hero pose.

She slowly raises her head and points her enlarged sword at the first goblin she sees.

"I will speak with the one that speaks for the tribe. Bring them to me! Quickly! Do as I say and none of your people need die this night.  Do so, and you may all find yourselves handsomely rewarded."

OOC: Take 10 on an Intimidation check gives me a 20.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

I don't see why things should go hairy, though.  Goblins are used to being "employed" by more powerful beings.  And they're pretty greedy as well.  As long as I don't try to make them do anything they really don't want to do, bribe them with a reward, and look like I'm too much trouble to deal with ... and I really am ... things should be fine.

I'm just sub-contracting out the cleaning work while we're busy elsewhere.  It is true that most sub-contractors don't have a "kill you all and devour your souls" penalty clause for bad performance, but that's really not that much worse than the last NDA I had to sign at work.

Assuming the DM agrees, of course.  DMs are capricious and unknowable beings.

That's why I have "Fly away and hide" as Plan B.  Always have a Plan B.  And a Plan C and a Plan D if you can manage.

Plan A: Intimidate the hell out of them and get them to do my bidding.
Plan B: Run away and hide.
Plan C: KILL THEM ALL
Plan D: Die a humiliating death and be forced to roll up a new character.

Big Boss:
The party has collected the valuables of the area and promised Nienna the help she needs. Some of you think these guardians might have something up their sleeve, but who knows? You return to the Hub, scare away more animals eating the dead and return to the Village. The Iron Golems immediately come to attention, but upon seeing Nolan, they become inanimate again. You weren't at the ruins for that long to start eating the supplies you brought, except Twiggy. He's probably already done with Byron's portion.

It's currently 10am-ish.

What is the party going to do?


The Golems are at the Daak Waystone. I put them there after Culver attacked them at the hub.

In reply to Myarra (msg # 958):

I grew up just south of Bangor, in Bucksport, so I'm familiar with the White Christmas thing all too well  :)

I've spent a number of years in Texas,  enjoying the series luxury of a Green Christmas,  but now I'm up in Alaska,  and i think I've lost all my cold resistance

I've lived in SoCal all my life. As soon as it's under 70, I'm turning the heat on. LOL :)

Twiggy Flinch:
Twiggy tries to disarm the switch, he has 13 ranks and if Amara helps a +2


I'm going to need a roll from you.

Is Amara going to enter the room before or after assisting Twiggy?

That is up to her, if She trusts Twiggy enough :)

Sigh

And yet I'd still pet you and hug you and call you my cutie-bug.  Yes, technically arachnid, but cutie-arachnid just isn't the kind of branding I think you should be going for.

I'm glad to see everyones sense of humor has survived the holidays.

No matter what shape Kali takes she will always be better looking than Twiggy.

Well, that depends on whether or not she's been smeared with honey and cinnamon.

Or is that just me?

You are just jealous of Twiggy Byron, he has cinnamon and honey in his haversack. Good idea Myarra.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

I'm assuming there are. I suggested that Amara scry with the crystal when we get back to the tower. Unless you want to give it a try?

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

I think I'll let Amara handle the scrying.  I still think a high level of magic use is key to using the crystal ball without frying.

But if we're going to come back in the morning, I don't want to block the entrance too much.  Enough to discourage tresspassers, but not enough that we spend hours just getting back in.

What was our decision about trying to dispose of the dead bodies laying around?

If I remember correctly, we were going to pile them up and burn them, but never got around to doing it.

Re: Out of Character Thread 3

Sister Aliana Farwalker:
Sister Aliana went outside, and started piling up some of the dead bodies, to make a pyre.


Aliana, the party is back at the Black Tower in the Village of Daak. The bodies that were mentioned are at the Waystone Hub that you guys killed during the fight with Culver, who ran away. The Golems wiped out most of the humanoids there, but the bodies were searched and left there to rot. Wild animals have been picking at them and you all keep saying that you're going to burn them, but other things keep coming up.

Also, it's 10pm at night. Do you want to leave the village, go to the waystone, avoid the Iron Golems and go to the Hub to burn bodies?

Oh, my apologies.  I lost track of where we were.  No, I shouldn't wander out that far, I suppose.

No need to apologize. Things can get confusing very quickly. That's how it is with this game where there is so much to do.
