So going south means a pit stop at the temple is still an easy option.

Kevros Droverson |

Kevros what kind of bow are you making? short bow, long bow or something else? (300 sp ... 750 sp ... ?)
Yeah no tools so more of a reason to take 10, so it will be 10+10. Also, the silver pieces are for materials. So Kev will have to look for that much in silver pieces worth of materials starting with wood and then sinew when we kill a boar or an animal for a feast and the animal skin for the Kev's new Erastil Holy Symbol.

GM Wolf |

I still would like to know which kind of bow you are planning on making and if it will be MasterCraft or not. So you won't need to pay the cost, you will find it. The DC is still 12 and your check would be 13 (10+5-2). I will double the time needed to craft an item if you take a 10. 12 x 13 = 156 sp for 2 weeks work. So a short bow would be done in 4 weeks and a longbow would be done in 10 weeks.
"We lost the trail. As feared once he was free of his men he would be able to hide his trail. Now we wait. I don't think we can or should should report the bandit threat on these lands are over until we deal with him."
@ GM this is a cool turn on this book, but not sure what you want us to do here. This kind of hults the campaign. We can't hunt someone that can't be hunted and withoug him dead we can't move forward with brevoy and start the kingdom.
To answer this, yes you will need to kill the Stag Lord. There is still plenty of places to explore let alone the new locations from book 2.

Kevros Droverson |

That is fine for doubling the time, the way I roll, it would probably take longer. He will make a longbow and sure why not, make it mastercraft. This follows Old Deadeye's edicts of working hard and Katrina will be pleased with a mastercraft a lot more. This way, it is easily magicked as well. Kev will work on the buckler, skin, and bow at the same time splitting his time between them while on the road and in garrison. Unless of course, he finds a metal buckler.
At Quince, it looks like it will be a while before Kev is ready for you to be conduit.

Quince Medvyed |

OH. . .
Hmmm you want to complete the buckler before we proceed?

Kevros Droverson |

The buckler and the animal skin Holy Symbol.

Quince Medvyed |

Wishing Quince knew masterwork transformation.

GM Wolf |

After Kevros gives her the longbow she can use masterwork Transformation on it. So in 10 weeks the bow will be finished. Near the half end hopefully the group gets to town, can order the regents, or finds them as they travel.
From the materials Kevros found and some other resources soon to be found the crude wooden buckler and animal skin holy symbol can be finished within a few days.

Quince Medvyed |

At Quince, it looks like it will be a while before Kev is ready for you to be conduit.
Okay I am feeling stupid. I figured the hunt would celebrate night we do whatever ceremony yada yada. Which is why before bed last night Quinced said to Tristan that hunting may not be top priority. But I guess you want to hunt because you need the hide.

Kevros Droverson |

We need both.

Kevros Droverson |

No problem, thanks!

Tristan Morgan |

Have we not explored this hex? If not then I would say the second option. Explore and happen upon a hunt.

Kevros Droverson |

It appears to be a bug why I can not see this campaign in my Current Campaigns under my profile. The problem has been forwarded on to the developers to be resolved.

Quince Medvyed |

Hey guys I will be in Disneyworld tomorrow so I likely won't post till I sleep the late night drive home off Thursday.

Kevros Droverson |

Hey man, have fun! Also, feel free to join in the hunt, catch up with us.

Kevros Droverson |

GM Wolf, you can move us along when you are ready.

Quince Medvyed |

Assuming aid from Stalker and Katrina. We can't have a knowledge geography below 22, history/religion below 21, and nature below 20. This is Quince taking a 10. If someone has more than a 6 in nature that might go higher. Any bonuses from the map are not yet factored in.
Are there anythings we know about those squares prior to getting there threats, sights to see, obstacles that might hinder us and so on?
If there is no further knowledge I suggest the swiftest route exploring as we go.
22, 24, 27

Stalker of Vengence |

Stalker will not be joining you, but he can tell there is a boggard in 22. A statue to Erastil in 18. The best crossing is in 24.

Quince Medvyed |

That only makes me want to try 18, 22, 24, 27. lol.
Statue to character's god. Then direct route.

Kevros Droverson |

Obviously, I second Quince's suggestion.

Tristan Morgan |

I was waiting for the go ahead from you. Tristan's event is more internal. He is even more consumed by vengeance with the Stag Lord now that he has slipped away. So much so that he has withdrawn from the group a bit and is focused on nothing but his capture and destruction. Through prayer Ragathiel has taken note of his conviction and has sent his herald in Tristan's dreams. The herald infuses Tristan with the vengeful power of Ragathiel granting his gestalt. I was going to wright up a narrative for this, but was waiting until you were ready and give me the go ahead.

Kevros Droverson |

I prefer playing it out with buckler and Gestalt but thank you! Erastil doesn't believe in handouts so that is why Kev was making the buckler and getting the skin to craft which he now has enough materials to do both. I can hold off on the Gestalt until it is fully made and skin has been cured, crafted, and stretched over the buckler.
Quince, and GM Wolf too, correct me if I am wrong but I think I am half way there role playing wise since I have all the parts to make my buckler and the skin that will act as a holy symbol. Once finished, which he can do while traveling, we can finish Kev's transformation into Gestalt Crossbowman/Warpriest of Erastil with Quince's and Katrina's help.

Quince Medvyed |

Its really up to how everyone wants to play it out. I envisioned Kevros' swearing his service to start a process (activates gestalt) that ends with a dramatic even in the future (uses a new ability at a crucial time). I hope the suspense consumes you all.
Perhaps the simplest solution is for us to get the gestalt classes lined up. Allowing those who aren't waiting a rp moment to use the new abilities. Those who are waiting for events can hold off on using new features that are overt. For instance Quince might benefit from improved saves once GM Wolf kicks off the gestalt go ahead but won't use a strange new ability until "the special moment" hits." This lets things like improved BAB, saves and skills get into action for everyone and once the stars align people can bust out never seen before abilities.
What do you guys think that might let us have our cake and eat it as well.

GM Wolf |

Tristan here is your go ahead. ;)
Yep sounds good Kevros.
I really like what Quince has said, go ahead with it. I think you all have a good grasp and will have fun exploring your new class abilities, have fun with it!
Do you want Katrina to be gestalt as well? If so, any suggestions: I was thinking about a spiritualist type class or arcane caster of some kind.

Tristan Morgan |

cool will try and work on this today, may be sunday before done.

Kevros Droverson |

I can see Katrina being spiritualist, or maybe a Druid. Looking over Spiritualist, I am thinking less so unless it is maybe an ancestor phantom?

Quince Medvyed |

Can't go wrong with bard. She could hit us with insp courage as well as heals.

Kevros Droverson |

Can't go wrong with bard. She could hit us with insp courage as well as heals.
A bard wouldn't hurt us but I see Quince more like a Bard than Katrina.

Quince Medvyed |

I thought about bard especially with the charisma synergy, but after his horrible singing with the fey . . . no. Not sure if I mentioned what I will make Quince publicly. GM Wolf knows. If I haven't shared it you will be surprised. But the reveal will be fun.

Quince Medvyed |

Every time I remember that we are traveling with fey all I can here in my head is Mad Mardigan telling Willow, "You are crawling with brownies."

Tristan Morgan |

Was gone all weekend. I though we were just gone on Saturday but things changed :)
I am down for Katrina being a bard.
I will work on my stuff today/tonight. The wife is out of town for work tonight.

Kevros Droverson |

If Quince is not going to be a bard, then Bard will fit Katrina too. We need someone who will write stories about and inspire us.

Quince Medvyed |

Deekin

Tristan Morgan |

Sorry work meeting this morning just got out.

Tristan Morgan |

Tristan is updated and ready to go.

Kevros Droverson |

This Ragathiel fellow is very familiar ... lol
