@Kyrie: Want to attempt to identify that short sword before we hit the hay? I can roll for an Aid Another, and that should give you a decent chance I'd imagine?
I find having a mule and a cart is good sense even if you're not travelling far, so that's my vote for what to do with the funds.
Zinnath will only agree to a cart of some sort if he gets assurances that a nice padded perch, or other such spot for him will be made available.
Wow! You folks were busy yesterday!
Battaleigha can also use Aid Another to help Kyrie ID the shortsword.
Bat will reluctantly agree with buying a cart and mule (having to better plan on how to spend the gold).
And I added a light crossbow and 20 bolts to her equipment list from the trading post.
I'm assuming all of the items available are normal sized. Eventually, I would like a greatsword.
If we get a cart, can I pull it instead of getting a mule?
Yes, the trading post only carries normal-sized items.
Yes, you can pull the cart. :D
At some point you guys will want to get gear that you can't acquire in Hommlet (like large weapons and armor, or magical items), and for that you'll need to either go to Verbobonc yourself or (more likely) send a delegated messenger/merchant to haggle on your behalf. Probably with guards, if he's carrying thousands of gold pieces. ;)
"Gear! You silly bipeds and your need for trinkets!"
Super busy day at work today with a sinus headache. Will try to update the frogs tomorrow - sorry for the delay, folks!
I don't see numbers on the frogs either.
How deep does the bog look at the drawbridge? Is there an area that I can just pull myself up on the other side? How high is the gate that the drawbridge leads to? Could a rope be tied to the top of the wall for me to swing across?
Only 234 XP to second level!
Scary dragons are optimists!
The drawbridge looks like it crosses a small ditch, so the bog is deeper there - maybe as much as 10', which would still be a problem for Fezzik. The gate is about 8' high. If someone can get across with a rope you could secure it to the arch somehow but the wall itself is somewhat crumbly - the keep looks like it may have once had a second floor that has been wrecked and fallen apart.
You could possibly look for an alternative entrance, or if you don't mind spending a few hours you might be able to pull out enough of the crumbly stones to make a hole at some point in the outer wall.
Medium advancement track for xp.
Options for Fezzik to enter moathouse:
1. Walk across - fall into bog if breaks & leave us without an exit
2. Jump - could hit head on archway
3. Swing across - wall might not hold weight
4. Try to climb outside of tower to left of bridge?
5. Find a place where wall crumbling & dig hole? - could take time
I think I'm leaning towards #3.
Summers, being what they are, is when vacations happen.
We go out of town tomorrow and back on Sunday, so I may not get any more posts in until Monday.
Thanks for the heads up! Have fun! :D
Yep--enjoy.
And there goes our telepathic link. No big deal--I don't think Deko wanted to play anyways. ;)
You can assume Zinnath faithful transmits messages back and forth until I return.
Oh, not at all! Enoby may be deeply unamused but I, however, am very, very amused. :D
WB Zinnath. Hope your vacation was relaxing and enjoyable.
Welcome back!
I am on the opposite of vacation. My team is currently doing crunch (overtime) at work. I was at the office over the weekend. :/
WB Zinnath. Hope your vacation was relaxing and enjoyable.
Is that what vacations are supposed to be?
Got really bad food poisoning last night. Trying to catch up. Sorry for delays. :/
Hope you feel better. Food poisoning is never fun.
Bat - I think the initiative would have occurred when I reached the south end of the hall so your starting position was probably 1 square north of your current location.

We'll let the GM decide. Besides, it's probably not smart for the party healer to melee the snake, especially if it's a constrictor (that constrict damage adds up fast!). Let's see how your chopping with reach works first.
Do-doot-do-do, gonna shot a snake with an arrooowww~*~*
This is my shootin' a snake with an arrow soooooooong~*~*
Just for convenience I'm saying the snake gets hangry when Fezzik arrives. If someone runs up to melee it first it will, of course, respond. :)
If Bat didn't get the Knowledge (nature) check before, she won't know if it's a constrictor or not. Her high Wisdom means she probably thinks "Best not to find out the hard way." :D
Busy holiday weekend. Sporadic posting.
Down the British!
Happy Independence Day for all of us Americans!
I will be camping this weekend. Regular posting will resume Monday!
Enjoy!
I am highly mobile-reliant for the next day or so, which means I can't really do the map. I defer to everyone else's judgement on where to go/which doors to open, etc.
Ok, so the annual family get together is next week. We head out Saturday morning, and I may not have connectivity again until the following Sunday or Monday (24/25), at which time I'll be ready to kick some butt!
Everybody still here?

Still here. Waiting to get mauled by a swarm of giant rats.

Sorry, super busy weekend. Now I have to move a lot of rats!
Very sorry for the delays. Super busy at work. Lots of emergencies today. :/
No worries, it happens!
I'm back!
Sorry guys. This week was, uh, "special."
Back to work! :D
I just wanted to confirm what was in the NW corner of the room. It looks like stairs from the map. Then we can finish the western hallway.
I'm at GenCon the next couple days, but I'll do my best to keep up!
Have fun. I'm jealous. My brother-in-law is there again for about the 10th year in a row. Hopefully someday I'll get to go.
I am similarly at the Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, but I do have my laptop and will try to keep doing some updates. :)
