You got him.

You disregard the camera and we will never bring it up again.

Without some significant external motivation Yvonne isn't going to give up on the goblin, but we probably don't need to bother with tracking however long it takes to get the dice roller to cooperate in rounds if nobody else wants to bother just decide if the goblin fights back and give it a free hit or dies on the run and it takes longer.

I think I got the goblin with my Spiritual Weapon.  At least, I hope I did.  :)

It's AC is 18.
But Yvonne will eventually run him down before he gets to his hideout, and I wouldn't want to lead you to the hide out now would I??? :D

Yvonne gets the kill.

history check: there was a lot of clearances covered before the campaign started. the game began with you trusting Gun.

now im not forcing you into feeling like saving him or nothing, but just: he’s one of the plot points.

I think saving him would be considered a bonus mission objective.  Killing everyone who thought getting in the way of the mission by kidnapping him was a good idea would be the primary objective that probably doesn't conflict to badly.

yep.

every time i run this and we get to this part a player goes “gun was an idiot and not worth saving” and i have to remind them “you care about him, because that was the entire plot hook for the intro”

not saying anyone is doing that now; thats kinda how i interpreted Daniel’s post but he didn’t exactly say that

Not saying Gun was an idiot, just that a whole lot just happened and Hayes is trying to wrap his brain around it all because some of it (possibly in the fog of war) just isn't adding up to him.

i know i know.
i wasnt being critical of your post, just reminding you of stuff that was in the session zero.

to simplify the choices: go to phandalin or go to sewer?

ill start a new location chapter

sewers, phandalin, or make investigation checks for the castle

you can post them here

Depends on the locations.

If the town is on the way to the sewer, then Phandalin > Sewer > Castle.
If it's not on the way, then I think we're doing Sewer > Phandalin > Castle.

Are they all close enough to make a fairly straight line? If not, how much time & distance difference are we talking?

Do we even know where the castle is, if this goblin can't tell us?

no one knows. castle wasnt an option but im making an exception if we roll high enough group investigation

21:55, Today: Ember rolled 5 using 1d20+1.  Investigation: Research castle location .

Derp.

I've got a -1, so don't expect me to do much better.

I am sensing a trend here, so unless someone has some special skills chances are we are going to need to swing by the sewer first and get some more information from higher ranked goblins.

pretty much. wanted to give the option but you cant find it now.

sewer or town.

I forgot the reason for us delivering stuff to the town. Was it urgent?

Compared to the kind of timer one expects on any hostage rescue mission before it becomes recovery?  That seems unlikely.

Have we rested or gone straight through?

take a short rest.

if you want to long rest i recommend going to town first

Quick question - on the scale of "someone meticulously removed cyberlegs via their attachments" to "meth fiend with a rusty hacksaw", where does Sildra lie?
