He's a warrior. Fights first, ask questions later.

Given the back and thanks brakx just received he may be equally as quiet?

Plus he's a watcher. Waiting. And definatly not much for diplomacy and whatnot. Plus he might agree with the lady but won't say anything because Brankx is a ally.

Brankx is a dwarf...he's thinking is to the point and focused (bordering on obsessive at times). In my opinion what he said was harsh and came across wrong.

...but that is brankx.

He may be a mage, be smart, but still has dwarven thinking.

Also why he is stubborn and protective of his kin.

What she said. It was the woman not the mayor BTW. Keep in mind she's in shock, her family tomb was raided and some Sahugain were performing dark things within it.

The mayor knows he needs the group.

I know it was the woman....he's just angry and now taking it out on the mayor (Not fair, but again a dwarf...hot headed despite being a mage)

How he sees it is the mayor is the extension of the people and since he's met the mayor and her he's worried this experience will label him a 'greedy dwarf. He knows she is grieving, but he is far from home, an outsider (dwarven mages are rare) and in a new place. He'd be scared if he wasn't....well, a dwarf

For Ballast this accusation seemed to come out of nowhere, so he's a tad bewildered by this.

Cumarinda was a little surprised as well, until she thought it was better to listen than to interfere. She will say her piece soon.

1. She's mourning.
2. She's stressed.
3. She feels like the dwarf wanted more and didn't ask.
4. Other reasons.

Plus I felt this game needed some sort of drama here and there. And if given time she will come around probably.

The MAYOR doesn't feel that way. Dwarves on the island are few. Most believe Dwarves are greedy. Brankx is a exception being a wizard and a good friend.

Drama is good, I don't mind a little drama!  Ballast doesn't totally get all the nuances, being as young as he is, but he's trying!  :)

I love drama...makes it more realistic

Gear has been updated. Not sure who will get what.

Thinking break out the gear, see what is useable.

I assume Fenris and the cleric will gather food and whatnot while Brankx and Cloak go to the merchent that might be around and the apothcary to get supplies? Course could get things for scrolls and whatnot and they do have basic gear from the passing merchents.

So what are you going to do Ballast?

I did ponder adding a new character so we would have 6 but not sure if neccassary.

Ok, so Ballast is currently using the +1 shortsword and one of the cloaks of resistance +1.  He has use for the heavy shield +1, and could also make use of the ring of protection +1, the ring of jumping, boots of climbing, goggles of alertness, ring of wisdom, dagger +1, or pendant of natural armor +1.  He doesn't really need anything else than the sword and cloak that he's already using, but if people want to toss stuff his way, he's all for it.

Ballast will likely go and see if there are any blacksmithing needs that are going unmet in the town.  He is willing to assist the local blacksmith in any necessary repairs, and assist in working on anything else for a small cut of coin.  He might only be able to make inquiries before we have to meet with the mayor and get information about the crystal/hermit, but that's the general plan.

Anything that is not being used. Most if not all of them are being used lol. Like the shield +1 is being used by the cleric.

Belt of Gender Bending
Boots of Climbing +5
Goggles of Alertness
*+2 to Spot and Listen
Gloves of Dexterity +2
Ring of Wisdom +1
*Gives +1 to Will Saves
Ring of Charisma +2
Cloak of Resistance +1
+1 quarterstaff of necromancy. +1 to necromancy spells, -1 all other spells

Ballast: Blacksmithing area

Brankx: Apothecary/Try to find a merchant
*Looking for?

Cloak: Apothecary/Try to find a merchant
*Looking for>

Cumandria: Not sure

Fenris: Probably going out to hunt/scout

Brankx will use the necklace of natural armor and a cloak of resistance. He also has claimed the belt and Staff for selling/trading, and the scroll of grease at was found.

Anything that is not used that is not 'a family heirloom', I say we sell, as we can get new gear with it.

My view (don't have go with it lol)

Hey guys sorry i haven't posted in a bit, still here just real life hit a snag this week. Long story, I am a salaried manager for a company that is a franchisee of a certain popular mexican (though i would call it closer to tex mex) style fast food chain. Company decided to pull me out of my home store and place me in one that has started lagging to try to bring them back up so have been dealing with staffing shortage, bad scheduling initially, and inadequate supply ordering

Hello! Its so good to have regular access to power and the internet again! (mumble grumble PG&E)

The only item that Cumarinda would want is the Ring of Charisma. (She wants to be a better speaker. )

Its yours then!

Looks good to me.  Ballast got the goggles, so if Fenris takes the gloves, Ballast will take the boots.
