I won't have time to update it today, or I'll update it very late at night.
Sorry about the delay.

I’ll post some more later today. It was just a quick answer so you had at least something to interact with.

"Calm down, sir. You're letting your anger and fear take control of your senses."

Says the ranger that almost attacked on sight the poor kobolds.

Ha! Well that was different. Somehow.

What the charters must decide now is how they’ll repair the broken trust from the locals, or if that’s even something they should care about.

OUCH

OK, change of plans. I vote we go after the bandits.

Don't want to go through this again.

EDIT: just spotted this

What do the stars mean on the Green Belt map?

The stars show where we've explored; the crown shows where we currently are.

Bandit murder, I mean relationship-building, sounds good to me.

And Damiel is updated. The Magic Talent was the hardest thing to decide on.

Tradition Secret - Rogue trap finding ability
Magic Talent - Time Sphere (haste & slow - I think Rendyl will like haste!)

Oh my...I'm excited already!

I'll post when I get a break at work or when I get home tonight. Sorry, the holiday season is always crazy for me :(

Spoiler Alert:

Only click the link if you've already played Reign of the Winter (Book 5): Link

So, how you'll deal with this?

Fixing the fort will take some days, and the trails is already four days older (given the fact you’ll most likely leave only the next day after you arrived at the fort), are you leaving the locals as they are to track down the escaped bandits? Or you’ll make sure they are safe and the fort is repaired (and most likely lose the opportunity to track the enemies)?

Looking at the tracking rules, every day adds +1 to the DC to follow tracks, but larger groups are easier to follow: -1 to the DC for every 3 people. Horses (being large) are also easier: another -1 to the DC.

If Rendyl has the track ability, we might well still be able to follow the bandits back to their lair. I'm assuming they were in a reasonable hurry to get away and didn't try to hide their tracks, but the DC to follow e.g. 6 horses after a week across firm grassland would be 19, which is tough but doable with an Aid Another roll.

With an Aid Another I'd have a 50/50 chance. Worth a shot, at any rate.

Also,

Not sure who did it, but thanks for keeping the timeline tracker up to date. I've made some modifications and corrected some dates there as well.

Legend on the green belt map:

• Green: Shrine of the Guardian
  
• Red: Tuskgutter Lair
  
• Blue: Fangberries patch.
  

OK, now I'm just confused :/

Are we NOT supposed to be going after the bandits? So we just keep doing our hexploration stuff, and putting up with periodic raids we can't do anything about?

I didn't say that. :D

Garess just doesn’t feel like you can deal with the whole of bandits at the moment.
As usual, just do what you think it's best and we'll improvise.

Also you guys are assuming that whoever attacked the fort did so at the order of the Stag Lord (it's a good assumption because of the bandits).

What should we do? More side quests or go for the bandit camp?

On the Greenbelt Map, can you put Letters / Numbers on the grid so we can refer to Hex Z23, for example as where we wish to go / explore. Also, update the "quest" list to include that reference. I am confused (easy to do!) about what is what on the map.

EDIT: Added letters / numbers to map.

Oleg Trading Post is B9
Radish Quest is C8

The site has been offline for me since yesterday night.
I'll update later tonite.

Sorry about the delay.

Looking at the map, is the Narlmarches the woods to the southwest, or what looks like plains to the south and southeast? What do the different green areas on the map represent, please?

Also, can you please tell us which quest the symbols on the map represent? Assuming C8 is the radishes...

Also, can you please tell us which quest the symbols on the map represent? Assuming C8 is the radishes...

I posted this a couple of post above, when I added the 'quest area' in the map, but let me edit it a bit:

Legend on the green belt map:

• Green: Shrine of the Guardian (C3 to E7)
  
• Red: Tuskgutter Lair (E4 to f6)
  
• Blue: Fangberries patch (E7 to F10)
  

Here's a very big map with all of the stolen lands (the four of them:)

Very Big Map, so the link should be big as well!

Ah... So the symbols in the middle of the "colored" circles represent the quest, right?

And the Narlmarches are the woods, check.

What is the difference in the light green vs the dark green, please.

Yep, the circle are the hexs you might find quest thingy.

Dark green are the Kamelands, and takes two days to explore each hex. Light green has no defined name AFAIK, and takes one day to explore.

I'll also add later the name of the stuff you already discovered.

Also

Here's my theme music for this game.

No pressure tho.

@Damiel

Added the legend to the map. Also added name to the already solved/discovered places.

Thank you!

I can't find where Kesten, other than describing Tegan, ever described the group that attacked the fort. Did he?

He never saw anyone else other than Tegan. The attacks were on the middle of the night, and they shot flame arrows at the fort, while the bandits broke free. He is just blaming others by association. If the 'enemy' can take the form and appearance of one of you, what will prevent him(the enemies) from impersonating the other group?

This weekend's pretty busy so between that and the Paizo forums constantly logging me out, I may not get to post until Monday.

Please bot Djebelle as needed - she'll use her healing (channel or Life talent as required) to help the survivors from the other party.

Site was offline for me in the morning.
I'll update later tonite.

The site has been down a lot recently. :( I hope they get everything set straight before the holidays.

Not only it has been down a lot, but it gained the annoying habit of logging me out every time. Before, it would stay on my account session forever, now I only need to close the browser tab. Not a major issue, but it gets tiresome.

Paizo foruns constantly being offline really messes up my posting schedule. I'll update in a couple of hours.

I don't want to metagame so idk what to do about the bottles of green liquid the party looted from Kressle.

I've started taking new meds, and it's killing me.

I'll update later.

The site is back! but is it back for good.

After a very long and terrible weekend of sickness, meds and fever, I’m back, sort of.
I apologize for not giving any other notice earlier.

Hope you feel better, DM Aku!

Also: looks like the website has FINALLY stopped glitching? Yay!

OK, let's go find this bear, rescue April and then take down the bandits.

As we seem to be going bear hunting, Damiel has several options when we get close.

1) Haste on Rendyl or Vik. Concentration or 1 spell point for 2 rounds.
2) Slow on Bear. Concentration of 1 spell point for 2 rounds. Gets a will save.
3) Curse bear, -2 to hit, etc. for 3 rounds. Gets a will save.
4) Serendipity on party, +1 to hit for concentration.

Right now, Vik and Rendyl are the warriors of the group (no magic). Djebelle is healer/buffer, Hylaen is an alchemist, Tegan is a "blaster", and Damiel is a roguish/bard, ie. a little of everything.

Do you think he should affect the bear first (3 & 2 above), then help Rendyl or Vik (1 above), then help the group (4 above) or do the reverse. Either way, he is not much in combat, as long as he has to concentrate on either Serendipity or Haste / Slow.

-- Damiel (aka david)

So, are we going directly to the shrine?

Anything you guys want to do before, or can I move you there?

What is the status of the fabrics Tegan ordered? How many days does it take to order items?

Unfortunately I'm travelling with work for the next few days so posting will be intermittent.

Daniel: I prefer to buff (which always works) before debuffing (if a save is allowed) because if the debuff fails then you've lost the action, and it's better not to lose actions in the first few rounds of combat. Others may have different opinions!

I agree with Djebelle...best defense is a good offense and whatnot. :)

For any combat that doesn't start out in close quarters I would say put the haste on Rendyl (perhaps selfishly) because the more damage we can do before they close in, the better. Otherwise put it on Vik and then use Serendipity. That's my opinion, anyway.

I'm a fan of the tried and true 'walk in and see what jumps out to kill you' method, personally. LOL

Seriously, though...unless anybody has something clever up their sleeve, let's just waltz up to the shrine.

Anyone else doing anything? Or are we just waiting to see if Djebelle gets eaten?

Hehe, just following orders and covering your six, ma'am!
