Let me know when you've levelled up!


Alright guys. First post up. This is going to be yet another experiment! No prewritten adventure here so, like I said, more of a tiny sandbox with a few hooks here and there.

Keeping the same discussion thread cause... why not!

Dot in here please!

Dotting in here, sorry a little under the weather right now. Should game post tomorrow though.

Is it just me or is the first post always the hardest? Even with a familiar character?

Anyway, I'm glad we're picking things up where we left off.

We should probably decide on what, if anything, we would like to keep before we get to the caravan. There's still a lot of unclaimed goods in the loot tracker. I'm fine with Albus having the rope, the potion should go to either him or Laro. Can anyone use the mithral armor or battleaxe? I'm not too familiar on your guys' weapon proficiencies. The sacrificial dagger should probably be sold if its benefits can only be used in conjunction with ritual sacrifice. Just sayin'...

Sorry for the delay, been sick as a dog these past few days. Hope to get back to reg posting soon.


Sick! I will try to post Friday but most probably resume on Monday

Finally finished leveling up. That didn't take me an excessive amount of time or anything.

All updated now. Sorry for the delay.


So that's almost everyone. Are you still with us Virdel? Hope everything is going well.


I pushed the four of you together and forced you all to attend church if that's alright!

We can say Virdel's sleeping in.

It's like my childhood all over again...

I'm okay with it! But did you know you referenced Astrianna a few times? Wasn't sure if you meant to (in which case, nice throwback) or if you meant Aelerie. Aelerie might have to throw down if Astrianna gets free meat over her, though.

Also, I hope you and Albus are feeling better!


Not feeling better unfortunately. And sorry about the name mix up!

Feeling better now, thanks for the good wishes. Still catching up with RL now though. GM Stargin hope recovery comes soon, a lot of bad stuff going around almost everyone I know is sick now.

Glad you're feeling better, Albus! One down, one to go.

I've been outta sorts myself for a few days, but I want to have a post up shortly-ish. About an hour and a half. That's about how long it takes for an Excedrin to kick in, right?


Hey guys. Glad to have Aelerie and Albus, but Javell, Virdel, and Laro haven't chimed in. Just a quick post to know you guys are around would be good. Doesn't have to be a long post.

Sorry, finals time for me. Once my schedule clears up, I can get back to regular posting.


Glad to see you both Laro, Javell.

Will post Tuesday.

Sorry to post slow, birthdays and holiday stuff taking up time, amazing how many of my family has birthdays near Christmas, including me.

Good luck on your finals Javell.

Hope you feel better Aelerie, and GM hope that slow recovery is over with you feeling your best!


Feeling better at my end definitely.

Happy birthday to you and yours Albus.

I'll keep the old thread active for a bit into January to see if Virdel is able to join us or not.


Male Human Ranger/6 | SPD 30ft | Init: +2 | Per: +16/+18 Forest | HP 52/52| AC:19 T:14 FF 15 | CMB +9/+4 +2w/Deft M CMD 20+2 | Status:Normal|F:+8 R:+8 W:+7

Glad that you are doing better GM. Sorry (a little) to throw a complex moral and theological problem at you but it's the way Albus thinks and feels.


Not a problem at all Albus! And no worries at all about the RP. Falcon's Hollow is a mostly not good place though in terms of alignment and so the few good people would have each other's back. In my view, Lady Crithiana would have to be very much on Team Elara!

It's great to have differing ideas on what 'Good' would do in the case of Jeva.

I'm happy you're both feeling better! And belated (or early) Happy Birthday, Albus!

Between allergies, migraines, going to the Monday Night game to watch my team lose and a sudden onset of doggy codependency, it looks like I've missed a bit. =/ I'll be jumping back in shortly—if I can just have five minutes to myself, Bela! *glares at puppy*


Hope you're feeling better and got over the heartache of a team loss as well Aelerie (also hope Bela is doing well too!). From my side my city's MLS soccer club just won everything it's possible to win in a year so doing pretty good in my own sports fandom.

In any case do you guys need me to push on somehow? There's only one time limited thing happening at the moment and that's the trade caravan's going to leave in a day or so.

I'm just crawling through Finals, one exam at a time. Just a couple more days, though. Hopefully I'll get back into the game Sunday.


Good luck with the finals!


Male Human Ranger/6 | SPD 30ft | Init: +2 | Per: +16/+18 Forest | HP 52/52| AC:19 T:14 FF 15 | CMB +9/+4 +2w/Deft M CMD 20+2 | Status:Normal|F:+8 R:+8 W:+7

I figured that there was one more round of conversation with the Lady then Albus was going to go over to the Sheriff then on to the market fair.

Get well Aelerie. Hope Bela gives you a break soon.

Javell AH, fun with finals I am so happy that I was finished with that decades ago... wait it was decades ago!? Arrgh I'm old. So appreciate the youthful challenge of finals, it easier than RL. In all seriousness, good luck and keep trudging forward.


Whoops my bad. Completely missed the request Albus made of The Lady.

Haha, I'm fine, thank you! The heartache was short-lived; the Patriots are still in the playoffs, and have a shot of going to the Super Bowl (again!) so not all was lost. Glad your team hasn't let you down, though. Toronto fan, I presume?

And Bela's doing fine, thanks! She's just being a little pain most days. Her new favorite game is where I give her every moment of my undivided attention, and if I stop doing that she gets in my face and whines at me until she has my attention again. She's very good at it. I hope she gives me a break soon, too. Puppies, right? =) I've heard that children are even more difficult sometimes, but I'm finding that very hard to believe.

Good luck with your finals, Javell! I hope you only have the fun subjects left, like Chemistry and Psychology. And not to worry Albus; personally, I think age is a state of mind. If you feel young, you are young.

Busy, busy, busy this afternoon, but I hope to have a post up by 4 or 5. Of course, don't let me hold up things; if someone else wants to be the salesperson, that's gravy with me.


Probably not going to be posting until Wednesday so many Happy returns of the season to you all and Merry Christmas if you celebrate!

Merry Christmas to all!


So all the vendors you probably want to talk to have gathered together. Can you guys post what you want to sell in Discussion while you chat with them about whatever you want in Gameplay?

Seems like we might be picking this back up in 2018 anyway :).


Male Human Ranger/6 | SPD 30ft | Init: +2 | Per: +16/+18 Forest | HP 52/52| AC:19 T:14 FF 15 | CMB +9/+4 +2w/Deft M CMD 20+2 | Status:Normal|F:+8 R:+8 W:+7

I'm better now, so on with the stuff.

I'd assumed that Albus was carrying the dwarf armor as well on the way back I suppose he is still carrying it, but will not present the dwarf's ax or armor for sale. The ruby might be kept or traded Albus will leave that up to the others. The Holy Warhammer and the Human bane battleaxe along with the crown and sacrificial dagger has already be presented. Albus cares nothing for the thieves's tools keep or sell them as anyone wills. He would keep the silk rope, if the others agree because it would lighten his load. And the Arisan tools should be sold to whoever could use them or trade to such.


Glad to know you're feeling better Alubs. Happy new Year everyone. I'll see you guys in 2018!


Happy New Year guys.

Virdel hasn't responded to emails and it seems like he's not posting in other games he was in also. I'm going to sadly say that he's probably not going to be joining us. And I'm deactivating Children of the Hollow!


Female Human Occultist Arcanist 6 | HP 29/29 | AC 12 Touch 12 Flat-Footed 11 | CMB +1 CMD 13 | Saves: Fort +3 Ref +4 Will +6 | Perception: +6 (+8) | Init: +1 | Status: Normal | Spell Effects:

Happy New Year everyone!

I might have ushered in the new year a little too strongly. My head is still ringing. I hope everyone else was more moderate in their celebration. ;)

I'm sorry to hear that Virdel won't be with us this time. I just hope the reason for his absence isn't a bad one and I wish him well in the future.

I'm also fine with everything Albus has discussed so far in regards to the loot. I'm okay with selling Glintaxe's belongings to Gorat now that we know it's a matter of Dwarven pride not to accept hand outs from humans. I was going to suggest Aelerie give the ruby to him if it still had some significance to Torag, but knowing what we know now she would be tentatively okay with selling it to him if he wanted it or keeping it if it no longer had any ties to the Dwarven deity. The rope Albus can keep. Thieves' tools Laro can keep if he wants them. Stonemason's tools are free for the taking or selling if anyone wants them.

The weapons can be traded/sold/kept as my more martial friends see fit. If we're going to be seeing the kobold tribe again soon, it might be worth it to keep the crown. Laro could wear it and name himself de facto chieftain of the tribe and order them to live peacefully with the town from now on.

Otherwise, we can sell it or keep it if anyone can use the benefits of it (+2 to natural armor, immunity to dragons' fear aura, +1 caster level if you're a sorcerer =( and ability to cast expeditious retreat 3/day).


I'm taking my view of Dwarves pretty heavily from Terry Pratchet's The Truth!

So I think for shopping more comes down to what you want to buy rather than what you want to sell.

I don't think it works for you to be able to find anything you want (Falcon's Hallow is still a backwater) so you'll have to roll to see if you find what you're looking for. This is a very well stocked trading caravan so it's the equivalent to a "Large Town" in terms of purchase value and the like. Don't need to roll for items less than 1000 gp. Items between 1000 and 2000 you'll have a 75% chance of finding.

It might be the stuff you've got will end up being better than anything you'll find in the caravan.

I've never had the pleasure of reading anything by him yet. I'm not sure why when I've heard nothing but good things about his works. Just... haven't. One of these days, though.

I'll let Laro and Javell weigh in if they want to keep anything first, but assuming we sell everything, what sort of budget are we looking at?


Male Human Ranger/6 | SPD 30ft | Init: +2 | Per: +16/+18 Forest | HP 52/52| AC:19 T:14 FF 15 | CMB +9/+4 +2w/Deft M CMD 20+2 | Status:Normal|F:+8 R:+8 W:+7

All Albus is really looking for is a +3 Composite Longbow for 400 GP according to RAW. Oh and also some silver weapons better than a dagger. Maybe the ruby should go to anyone with a desire to restore the Dwarven Monastery. Sell or keep the rest at will, Albus will keep the silk rope. I realize that the dwarf's armor and weapon (or even better the Kobold King's ax) along with a shield would actually make Albus a much better melee combatant but it's just not the style he's about; it's too military and not enough forester-like.


Axes seem like a perfect forester weapon in my personal fantasy :). But that's neither her or there.

Your lootsheet is amazing Aelerie. I'll add on that the Crown of the Kobold King is worth 15000 and can be sold for 7500. And the name of the dagger is HeartRipper and is worth 11,302 and can be sold for 5,651.

Delga, Perriwinkle, and Gorat are willing to band together their finances so you can sell up to 15,000 gp worth of stuff.

The Ruby is of particular interest to Gorat and he would be willing to pay 1000 for it. He's probably the best bet for it to get to a an active monastery of Torag which is probably where it's supposed to be. It's not everyday you find a gem through which The Forge Father's blessings have flowed!

I would have said the same thing. =D Still, if it doesn't fit your concept of the character Albus, good on you for turning it down. Roleplay over rollplay and all that. =)

Thanks GM! I can't take all the credit, though. I found the base for it online and just added the formulas and whatnot for better functionality. Feel free to use for your own campaigns if you all want.

So we're definitely selling Glintaxe's gear and the ruby right? That would put us at 7,905gp. If we add HeartRipper & Man-Feller that becomes 14,711gp. Could we then trade the Crown of the Kobold King and/or the Holy Warhammer for an equal or lesser amount of goods? Probably lesser, as I can't really think of anything Aelerie'd like to get aside from a wand probably and some scrolls. Maybe a handy haversack if there's one available.

One day I'll get my Rod of Giant Summoning.

Yes, I'm good with that. Also understand that Albus/me doesn't hate one-handed axes he just doesn't want to carry/use a shield and you do more damage with a two-handed weapon. Hmm, didn't think about a handy haversack or other weight lessening magic item. That would help him a great deal or even a masterwork backpack, which I also didn't think of. Albus doesn't handle being rich well does he? Need to pick up an Erastil holy item as well.

No problems here; I've got a shield that I want to sell (and hopefully replace with a buckler) but otherwise I'll go with the group. I'm a simple guy, I just need my starknife and daggers.

Ooh, I forgot that arcane spellcasters can use mithral bucklers without risk of ACP or spell failure. I might pick up one of those instead of a handy haversack...

Are you thinking of getting a buckler with a special ability, Javell? If you haven't seen it already, the crusading special ability might be worth looking into.


Hope the shopping isn't going too long for you guys. Laro do you want anything or are you good to go?

Mithral Buckler and Handy Haversack are not a problem.


Male Human Warpriest of Desna 5 HP 45/45; AC 23/13/21; Saves +8/+3/+10; +10 Per, +4 Init; 5/5 Blessing, 5/7 Fervor, 6/6 Sacred Weapon, 5/5 Guided Star

Huh. Hadn't seen that before.

So, what's the final tally for our budget? I might go for the buckler, or try and find something else, depending on how much we have.


Really depends on what you're looking for Javell.

Put up a wishlist and we'll see what can be done.

You got some very powerful items and the trading caravan isn't quite equipped to deal with it but trading like for like is possible or you can sell for a loss.

Currently you're up to 14,711 gold from what you're selling without adding the Holy Warhammer or the Crown of the Kobold King.
