I was waiting to see if the Orlovsky wants to share the maps, but there was no answer to mine post. In any case the day after, in the morning, Anton and Miyuki will be on their way to Oleg thinking of recruiting someone else for their holy quest.
Anton Medvyed |
The morning after the encounter with the Orlovsky/Lebeda team, after having prayed Erastil for new spells, and after bidding farewell with Natalya, Anton will ride with Miyuki to Oleg leading her across the hills first and the plains then.

In my vision of it the actual trading post is a bit bigger and looks more like a country inn. The guest house on the East side is instead replaced with a group of Brevan guards being supervised by Commander Kesten Garess.
For those returning here Jhod has moved on, having told everyone he was going to the Temple of the Elk with hunter and White Eagle.
As Etienne heads inside the trading post he is greeted by Oleg. "Greetings traveler, how may I help you?"
Mardavig |
Oleg says "Certainly Sir. I shall see to your horse myself, and my wife will show you to your room now, should you like. We see few enough guests here, especially of quality, unless they are heading into the Greenbelt."
Anton and Miyuki, as you enter the Trading Post, not only do you notice this new arrival, but a few familiar faces are hagning around as well. Kazz, Hithil and Dregan are here.
Matsu Miyuki |
Miyuki will greet the memebers of Team Darkness very friendly."Dregan, Hithil, Kazz, where is the rest of your team? Very nice to meet you. Tell me about your travels!"
After a minutes she will adress the young man in armor. Miyuki looks like a 17year old girl. She is dressed in spotless, expensive clothes and has a wise beyond her age attitude."Hello stranger. May I introduce myself? My name is Miyuki and welcome to the savage frontier"
Beaming a dazzling smile at him.
Anton Medvyed |
Anton's description: A massive male in hunter outfit but with a silver holy symbol of Erastil displayed. Despite his human aspect he resembles more an half-orc in his posture. His wild appearance contrast with his polite way of speaking with a perfect accent.
Upon his arrival Anton greets Oleg and Svetlana, leaving Berego, his horse, in the stable. He also nods to the team darkness friends joining their eventual conversation.
Finally he goes to the newcomer cavalier too, right after Miyuki
"May Old Deadeye bless you, Etienne de Guerlin, I am Anton Medvyed, of the Church of Erastil. We also hope to make this frontier less savage, and create a new flourishing local community. But before doing so, we will need to explore and map all those lands."
Matsu Miyuki |
Miyuki looks sad for a moment."We were more, but one rotten apple can spoil the barrel. It came to a quarrel and in the end... we had to part. We are hoping to find more people to help us explore this lands and Olegs Outpost is a logical choice. I can only speak for Anton and me, but we would be delighted to have someone who can wield a sword."
Anton Medvyed |
"Well, we were all chartered for the exploration of this lands by the Brevoy's Swordlords says Anton displaying his charter to the newcomer
Charter image
Acording to the GM your PC should have the same charter
"As Miyuki said, we were a big group, some minor nobles of the Brevian Great Houses, some other adventurers, not even all human. We defended together this outpost against some bandits, then we split in groups to explore the land.
About the dangers we can meet, this land is wild, there could be various kind of creatures, Feys form the good benevolent kind to the evil mischievous type, wild animal, savage plants, magical beasts. We also meet a Troll, and a kobold tribe who is now our allies. And of course some bandits, we are charted to strive against.
What about you? Why are you here in those lands?"
Anton Medvyed |
We don't know what we are going to find in that location, it was a vision sent by an Erastil's dream.
Anton nods seeing the Etienne's charter.
So, by right you are gladly welcome to our exploration team.
After a few moments he takes Miyuki apart, whispering something to her
"Probably the Old Deadeye gifted us by finding a front-line fighter. Even if not a true erastilian. If you think we can trust him, should we told him about the dream quest?
Matsu Miyuki |
"I think so. I am curious if he is truly honorable, but if he is really aldori swordlord trained, he should know how to use his blade. And so far he didn´t ask "hunter" questions!"
Anton Medvyed |
I'm still waiting the PM from the Orlovsky, anyway for team darkness members, this is a url to the map owned by Anton.
Map
Anton goes to the nearest table to open the map on it gathering all the presents there
"So those zones marked with a black point are the ones fully explored. Have you anything to add?"
Anton Medvyed |
Anton gathers the 300 gp from Miyuki, adding 150gp from Etienne and 150 from himself. For a total of 600gp. Still not enough for the 750gp of the wand, waiting for the others PCs
Anton Medvyed |
"I'm for going East, and explore the plains there until the end of the charted area."
Kazz D'Avore |
Kazz nods to Anton at the greeting but is finishing his dealings with Oleg at the time. He listens casually to the conversation between the Druid, Miyuki and the armor clad newcomer.
Once finished he joins them around the map.
Love the map btw, excellent work! Though it seems like you guys have definitely had more in game days than us:P
"You may want to hold off on heading east. You asked earlier where the rest of our team was. They currently hold the Stag Lord's former fort, located here.
I'll actually need Mardavig to fill us in, I'm not certain if the fort is in 04.05 or 03.05?
"The bandit ruler himself is dead along with many of his followers. The rest are now scattered to the winds. The fort itself is sturdy though needs some refitting. A task our partners are currently working on. It represents a seat of power in these lands and lacking any other ownership is an ideal place from which to stage our efforts in these lands."
"We only just missed you earlier but I have already spoken to Chief White Eagle and Hunter. We are attempting to bring together all those of us who have been chartered. The time has come to coordinate our efforts here. We are asking that all of us meet at the fort on 10 days time to discuss our options. We are sending word to Restov of our victory over the bandits and word should have returned by then. Will you join us for this meeting?"
"On that topic, have you seen the other group, the Orlovsky's and their allies recently? We wish to get the same message to them."
Anton Medvyed |
@ Kazz:
Nerd Answer: The time is relative in this campaign. Or if you prefer, some teams travel at relative speed near the speed of light.
Actually: I think GM prevented himself from having multiple headaches by keeping the teams "synchronized" using RL/OOC time, not IC time. So yes, we explored a lot of days, while the others team were doing something different in a few days.
Anton smiles hearing that the bandit lord was now dead, but was still worried about the scattered bandits still wandering.
Anton points the bandit camp on the map (03.03)
"We left the third team here, early in this morning. They were going south-west if I'am not mistaken. I wish you good luck in finding them.
I can't spoke for everybody, but I will try to be at the fort in 10 days."
Anton Medvyed |
Anton asks Oleg about a Wand of Cure Light Wounds, giving him down payment up to 600gp if needed.
Kazz D'Avore |
Kazz nods at the map, "We know that camp well. Sounds as if they might reach the Fort on their own. This could work out well. We will look to see you in a few days then."
Leaving the others at the map Kazz goes to Oleg, giving him a message to send to Restov, informing the swordlords of their victory over the Stag Lord and the scattering of the bandits that had gripped the region. He asks that if possible, Oleg send the reply on with any of the others to the fort should they arrive at the trading post before team darkness returns.
He also leaves Oleg with a list of items to be sent away for and leaves him with the money to pay for it all.
List to come, once I've sorted it out with my teammates.
Anton Medvyed |
Even Anton suggests to Oleg that buying a supply of that kind of wand could help his future business.
Matsu Miyuki |
Miyuki will suggest that we check for the next unexplored hex... just to get a feeling for Etienne.
And our Swashbuckler can jump in. As long he has a name and some ideas how to play him, I do not think he must be fleshed out completly!
Anton Medvyed |
Weren't we in the late afternoon? I think it's better if we go to explore tomorrow at dawn.
Anton Medvyed |
Anton asks Svetlana about dinner, and when it's time to eat, since father Jhod is gone, he will offer to bless the meal.
Anton Medvyed |
The next morning, after praying Erastil for new spells (@GM: the same selection as yesterday) Anton leads the new team to explore in the east.
Anton will assist whoever want to lead the daily exploration
Perception aid another: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Survival aid another: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
The one who wants to do the team perception/survival checks will benefit a +2 bonus in both
Anton Medvyed |
Let's say that Anton wants to test Etienne or the new swashbuckler skills for this first day of exploration.
