The King's Patron - Dragon Hunters - Fox's Antlers

Game Master Mardavig

Carter has no use of any of it.

If Etienne doesn't have a blunt weapon, he should take that mace. I have a light mace for just that reason. As for the rest, I know donating to the kingdom sounds good, but we have to keep ourselves up to speed as well. Boosting AC of the frontliners (read:Etienne) is never a bad idea.

I know he wants a full plate asap. But that won´t be cheap. But still well worth it.

If I'am not mistaken, Etienne took the Mwk Warhammer we found in the same place.

So, those gnomes are wearing a +1 Green and Yellow shirt, and Etienne is going to annihilate them with his +7 German Warhammer! :D

Evil man. I had a blunt but I take warhammer. And I will call him Ausputzer!
Yes, Etienne will use his first money to buy a full plate. Later mithral agile halfplate but thats for later. And MW quickdraw shield.

To be clear, Jubilost Narthropple wans HIDDEN sites. Hidden sites in the northern greenbelt include: The barbarian cairn, the temple of the elk, the gold mine, the forgotten cache (lightning struck tree) and the kobold caverns.

For each of these locations you share with him he will share maps of a single hex with you. The majority of his maps are of landmark hexes, but he does have a few others.

I'm for sharing our information with Narthropple.
This will speed up our exploration.
What do you think?

- The Cairn was left without something to find a part from few coins we left inside.
- The temple is under the custody of Father Kavken
- The Gold Mine was already reclaimed by the Orlovsky to the brevian authorities, and will be probably included and developed by our kingdom in future.
- The forgotten cache I have no idea if there was something else there, 'cause it was explored by CWE's team.
- The kobolds carvens should be the only site we have to wonder if sharing this information with the gnomes, because they can decide to attack the local tribe, knowing their racial hatred.

Well, if he's just an explorer, then who or what is "claimed" or guarded shouldn't matter. We should share...mostly because we don't have 1000 gp to pay him.

There are 10 gnomes, including Jubilost. Jubilost looks like the only one who could put up a serious fight. You can ask him about, but these gnomes don't look likely to embark on a military campaign.

Updated map of our expedition in the South part of Narlmarches (the forest)

If I am not mistaken, the gnome is still in debt of 2 hexes, maps we will reclaim in future by visiting his camp?

Today, and tomorrow I'll be AFK for a working trip.
I can probably check the posts later tonight (GMT +2 here), but I'm completely not sure about it.
If needed the GM can bot Anton

Again, utmost apologies about that. I don't know why I wouldn't check the thread. I thought we hadn't started yet.

I made my know arcana roll in this thread a bit back.

Is there any way I could retro just a bit and have Carter buy the hex with the undead humans? If I'd have known, he would've lobbied to get that one.

I was leaving that hang on purpose. There's no reason you could not have obtained any of the other maps at the time.

That leaves you with one map remaining.

So it wasn't definite which ones we got?
I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't follow you.
What do I need to take off my character sheet in exchange for the undead hex map?

We had a credit of 2 locations with the gnomes, but retroactively the GM changed that with revealing the undead hex location and remaining with 1 other location we can claim in future by visiting the gnome's camp.

I'm going to update our map.
@ GM: Is the undead hex revealed the one marked with F?

About the new loot, how are we going to split it?
Carter, can you double check with your Spellcaster skill the unidentified whip?

Correct, F the lonely barrow.

I am not worried about loot. Carter can have the ring if he is going to be a front-liner. Keep the useful potions, sell the rest and divide the money, we'll need it.

The next 2 days I'll be busy in a LARP event, so I probably will be not able to check the board. If needed, the GM can bot Anton.

Still hoping in some good dragon lore check to adjust spell selection. Go Carter! :)

I rolled a knowledge arcana check for dragons resulting in 29, but never got an answer.

Awesome! I've missed it, as probably did the GM too...

1 page back. Here in discussion.

Ok. Green dragons have powerful senses, avoiding their attention is quite difficult. They possess tough scales, making them hard to hit, but not particularly nimble, so touching them is not especially hard.

They are immune to acid, paralysis and sleep. They move quickly on the ground and in water and are even faster in the air, even though their maneuverability is only average.

They can also breath cones of deadly acid.

Dragons of this size do not usually have spell casting abilities, although depending on exactly how old it is it might be able to entangle. It's bite has a reach of 10 ft, but it's claws and wing buffets do not.

"This will my hinder my magic! But I will support you as well as I can!"

Hi everybody, I'm back online!

About Anton's spell selection, I'm of the idea of preparing 3 Resist Energy (Acid) spells, with mine 2nd level non-domain slots
The others 1st level spells could be something targeting the dragon Touch AC.

In this way I can grant 3 of us a resist energy of 10 vs the dragon breath for 40 minutes, this means Anton can buffs previously approaching the lair, to avoid being noticed when casting these spells.
The question is, who need more protection? Of curse I'll say Etienne, since he is our Tank, then who else?
Anton can provide a good damage output as Ranged, but if there is someone else more frail who thinks need the protection spell, I think we can talk about it to better coordinate our efforts.

Also, remember, Anton will start the fight casting his 1st level domain Bless to buff all the party, and if you think is needed we can also use the 2nd level domain Shield Other option on the tank (Etienne).

Here an updated map, with the Lonley Barrow addition due to Carter request.

Also, before entering the lair, it's better if someone wants to take something from the actual party loot to use it. I'm keeping a list of it:

a) from previous encounters:
an oil of shillelagh
an oil of magic stone
a potions of protection from good
a divine scroll of read magic
a masterwork heavy mace

b) from the hermit:
Potion of Cure light wounds (Anton already have 1, plus a wand of CLW with 50 charges)
Potion of Invisibility (If someone wants to risk a stealthy mission in the lair, alone)
Potion of Darkvision (CL 3) (As above?)
Potion of Virtue
Potion of Feather step
+1 leather armour (Anton has a better armor for now)
mwk breastplate (Anton can't use it)
+1 whip (Anton isn't proficient)
mwk elven short sword (GM, what is it? A short sword? or a elven curve blade? Or something house-ruled?)
ring of protection +1 --> taken by Carter?
the glaive is +1 but sheds dim light

I take glaive, magic weapon can be useful.

The short sword is a just a mwk short sword. But it is made in the elven style, it's just a comment about it's appearance.

I think we can move to the confrontation

Miyuki hands everyone a cigar. My daughter felicitas electra has just been born

Wishing the best for you, your wife and your daughter!

Congrats!!!!

Thanks all.

Congratulations, an adventurer is born!

Congrats. ^_^
Afraid I don't smoke, though. :P
I have some cake stuff around here somewhere, I think...

That was a heal check by the way. I forgot to label it.

I assumed it was a survival check to dissassemble the beast, but really the same thing. You can have any body part you want from it.

Na dann wünschen wir euch alles gute und liebe Glückwünsche für dich und deine Frau.

Indeed. Etienne and I discussed some options among the local fauna for beast mounts. I offered a few that were immediately available and a few that could be a acquired with a bit of patience and effort. He chose the wyvern, a valiant steed. Even once healed the creature will suffer a few disabilities, in order to balance the cr a bit, and as an intelligent creature it may pose some issues occasionally, but ultimately we decided on a way to make it work.

If a player wants something I'm always willing to work with them on how to accomplish it. It's no tiger, but I think it'll do.

I hope that its ok for all. I thought Cavalier of dragon order with dragon steed would rock!

No worries, 'cept you have a man-eater for a mount, but hey, who am I to judge? ;)

Well check for small cavaliers wolf is not exactly a non man eater ?
Big smile.

Well if we had one day of rest, Anton could have healed the wyvern with the wand?

Definitely in a day of rest Anton would have cured whoever need it (only the Wyvern unless I missed someone else is injured), and changed his spell selection too...
This means the only question for the GM is, how many charges of CLW did the Wyvern need to be fully healed?

Let's say 14 charges.

13, 13, 13 do I hear 13? 13! from the kitsune in the back! What about 12? 12, 12, 12? 12! on the young cavalier! 11?

No?

13, no 12, a this is a cause very worth it I pay the 14!
Holy moly, that means the poor animal was very injured.

It certainly was. Even after being healed it's stinger is not yet battle ready.

Sorry, I'm kinda new-ish.
Who are you?
I don't think we've met.

Turin Baelor=Agrona Rivertusk=Viluki, the new internet connection has been a vast improvement as far as stability goes meaning I can jump back into the fray.

Oh.
Why do you not use your old character?
Or do you have two?
