awesome, ill pick up some spikes

Grimbold is encumbered just by wearing armor so he brought rope anyways.  Perhaps we can pool money for a donkey/mule

I have 3 Gold, I could rearrange some stuff and pick up a Donkey. I have the skills to handle the Donkey/Mule. Lemme look at what I have so far. I rolled really bad for starting gold.

If I don't buy my Scimitar, I can afford a Donkey! That will just leave me with a Dagger for my weapon. But it might be worth it to have a Donkey. Especially since I have Animal Rapport: Gypsy-Bards are nearly druidical in their ability to associate with animals. They automatically gain the proficiencies of Animal Handling, Animal Lore, Animal Training and Riding (Land-based).

I have enough to buy( it is only 8gp) it but it would be nice if someone went halfies with me.  Gives us a way to meet

I can supply 3 gold towards it. So I can keep my good weapon!

I can try and teach it some tricks too,

I can go in half for the donkey. if I don't buy dry rations I can buy the whole donkey

Sounds like a plan!

One more person and we can just to 2gp each ( which helps Vandilo)

That works, I can supply 2gp, then we can tie our backgrounds to one another, having known one another since the purchasing of our donkey!

Also, it might not be useful now, since its early in the game, but for Animal training. There are two options.

The Standard Method & The Alternative Method

These are both described in the Ranger's Guide. I am just going to assume that we are using the Standard Method, unless told differently. This also might come in handy later if we have time jumps, since animal Training takes time.

In reply to Vandilo (msg # 102):

dirk will be glad something or one is slower then him walking  lol     I am sure Dirk help money wise   for a slight favor - you know help keep him out of trouble or melee

Update, I need to study for test tomorrow. Will get back to you after that.

Ok, so far it seems you are heading Hommlet. From which city on the Wild Coast?

Grimbold, where are you from? I know South of the Wild Coast is the Principality of Ulek, at Havenhill, which is a Dwarven City, The Lortmil mountains also has a few Dwarven Settlements. The Faerie Kingdom of Celene could be where our Elves are from. Rega looks like she is from Elredd, and that is really close to Fax where Vandilo is from.

So it looks like we could all be from somewhere in the Wild Coast, moving north towards Hommlet. Anyone from further south of Elredd would have to travel through both it and Fax, if you wanted to stay along the road. Eventually, unless we traveled all the way to Dyvers, we would have to cut across the Welkwood forest, we could have picked up our Elven Ranger from there. So that could cover Rega, Vandilo, Raphim, and Grimbold. Not sure where Dirk is from.

You said we start in Verbobonc.  It is the first post of The World so Far

Maybe he forgot, but yeah, all being in Verbobonc makes it easy

In reply to Vandilo (msg # 105):

Grombold is from Irondelve which is in Verbobonc.  South of Validia.

Ok, I didn't want to gloss over the travel to Hommlet, but we'll start there then. Give me a little time to get you settled. Meanwhile make sure you have a picture and a description

I have been having a laugh listening to Orcanomics : A Satire. By Zachary Pike.

Anyone else read it?  I highly recommend it.  Anyone who has played enough dungeons runs will get a chuckle as the book combines D&D and fantasy economics.

Update. I'll post the IC thread on Friday. Please wait until then.

Woot!

sounds good :)

In reply to Raphim (msg # 113):

Sounds like a plan - Cannot wait :)

Ok, Mother's Day was busy, tomorrow. I swear

In reply to DM (msg # 115):

Phsute no worries, we will be here ready to go.

Dirk looks side long at his traveling companions wondering who will be the first, the more daring an the one to annoy him the mot.  Chuckles, so who here can err shall we say open tricky locks, scale walls, find those little trigger points to safely open chests or doors.  Chuckles, I am not sure about you all but I am looking forward to some adventure.

I can do those tricks...I specialize in finding traps that hurt the unwary and opening locks that were meant to stay locked.
