Sorry. Forgot to spoiler my post...
I have come down with what my old doctor would call WGA, or Whats Going Around. I even cancelled the home game tonight, so I am going to spend the rest of today and tonight in bed.
I'll have a post out in the morning moving it along.

Sorry to hear you're unwell. Hope you feel better soon.

Hope you're well soon.
Yea I've been checking often :p but I have to wait anyway.
Get well!
Yeah, I'm waiting for an opportune time to move things along as well, since Redona has nothing to do during the catching up portion.
Girls and boys, just FYI - I am on a business trip this week, so my posts may get a bit slow and probably shorter. I hope you do not mind. Nothing "smart" to post at the moment :-) Cheers
You would be amazed at what 20 hours sleep, cold medication, and lots of ibuprofen can do for a body. I'll have a post out in 30 minutes or so.

On talk of the journal, Misha turns to Dain. "Oh yes, I was going to ask you, Dain. I realize it's a little unlikely since the only connection you might have is that you're a dwarf, but have you ever heard of Stonehold?"
@GM - no idea whether Dain heard of Stonehold? Will you tell me, or do I "improvise"? ;-)
@Dain - No, you have not heard of it.
Please come up with a watch order and a marching order for traveling on the land.
Next post will be after that is settled, and will move the story forward more.

Sezira is an early morning person so she will usually go to bed earlier asking to be woken for last watch on the nights that it is her turn.
Happy to be sneaking up front slightly ahead of the party in through marching order. If stealth is not needed then she would be second or third in line, letting the big strong fighters protect her most likely.
We should probably let spellcasters be first or last so they can get their 8 hours' rest. While no one may have spent spells now, probably good to get in the habit. Misha will take first or last, or close to it, I'm not particular.
There are what, 7 of us? So probably some of us could pair up, too.
For marching order, Misha will probably enthusiastically bound toward the front whether she's supposed to or not. She'd probably be second in line ultimately. I'd suggest Rikar for lead.

I was going to offer the same. I can even stealth some if needed, and Goma and I can offer decent eyes, ears and one nose.
For general order, how about something like this, from front to back:
Rikar
Borris or Dain
Sezira or Misha
Redona
Sezira or Misha
Josef
Borris or Dain
@Josef - I'm not sure how you see yourself in combat, so wasn't sure where you'd want to be. I tried to put 2 melee types in front, one in back, and others in the middle more. I'm obviously fine with any revisions, though I would like to take point if no one objects. I figure the PCs in the "X or X" positions above can talk about where they want to be.
For night watch, I'm happy to take the middle watch so spellcasters can rest.
Borris is to proud to walk in the back he would definetly be up front with Rikar alowing him point but always stick to his side/back just so he would notice stuff faster :-)
as for a watch shift i would gladly do last watch an be the first to go to bed. sleeping for 16 hours total borris would go to bed early when possible ex. he would go to bed at 18.00 and awake at 14.00 so that another person could sleep from 14.00 to 10.00
right now i dont realy need 8 hours yet :-)
For stealth it should be me. Though the difference is only +1 between rikar and I.

Definitely don't want to steal your stealth role - just offering that I can do it if needed. That's why I suggested this as a general order, and we can send Sezira to be the probe as needed. :-)
dont forget the dog rikar has it has scent :-)

That's why I offered one nose...
Rikar's proposed walking order looks good to me.
We can always have a normal walking order and then have the stealthy folk scout out ahead as needed.
I'll probably drop a point or two into stealth for Misha at some point, not to step on anyone's toes, but just to back up just in case.
as a skill monkey you are i dont think anyone minds
@Sezira & Misha - do either of you have a preference between position 3 & 5 in the marching order? Seems like having Sezira near the front might makes sense, so we can call her in for stealth work (and it'll probably help her get into flanking and thus sneak attack position).
Ok, unless I hear a loud scream from anyone, the overland marching order, at least till you get to Meadowvale or you all change it, is;
.
.
.
.
Rikar & Goma
Borris & Dale (your friendly NPC guide, who stays in Meadowvale)
Sezira
Redona
Misha & mule
Josef
Dain

sounds good to me a dwarf at the rear sounds like it could be true their short legs and all :-)
Pardon my "lateness" in responding, I lost better part of the day in travel. I am finally home, and "back on track". I do not have any issue with marching order. There are very minor "tactical considerations", but as Borris nicely said this makes for nice role-play, so I am cool with it. Let me read what you posted in game thread so far, before answering in there as well.
As a small note, Misha probably would have joined in some sparring on the 20 day trip. She also would have bored (or amused) people to death with stories about how she almost found some ancient ruins but then it turned out to be a bear cave or something.
On a more practical note, I was redoing up in char sheet in PC gen. Apparently I should have 8.24 gp left, not 0.5. Not sure how I did that. I do have everything on there I'm pretty sure.
On the other hand, I rechecked the scrivener's kit and realized it has stuff FOR ink but may not actually the ink itself... it's not very clear. But it not having the ink with it would make sense because the kit is like 1 or 2 gp and ink costs 8. But lo and behold, I apparently have 8 gp...
Shall I put ink in my inventory and adjust my remaining funds to 2 silvers and 4 coppers?
Sure. Put the ink in your inventory.
I was just about to invite someone else to join in the sparring when we zipped forward 20 days. Funny to picture Rikar and Misha sparring - I guess she's not that short, but my mental image is of this towering barbarian type battling a very small, very eager bardling.
In other news. Rikar you rolled a d20 on your greatsword damage :p

You don't know about the Shoanti Greatsword of Death-Dealing Doom and Death?!
Re-rolled it with the appropriate dice, and beat my d20 damage by 1! Thanks for pointing it out. Did my cut and paste a bit too quickly there, eh?
Nice I wanna get me one of those swords then haha.
who are we waiting for to finish the round?
Our good man Josef the transmuter
No problem. I was snow blowing / shoveling most of yesterday myself. Luckily we only got about 14 inches of snow.
its all good i think suck a storm is nothing to mess with iv seen the footage :-) just crazy dangerous!!
Ok, just got back. Post will be up in 30 minutes or so.

Since he has a reach weapon, Dain would like to charge to E7, and attack an orc in C9. Is that doable? (due to the tree in E8)

Just saw this. No, E7 to C9 is 15 feet, and the scrub tree in the way.

Heading out in a few minutes to watch our six month old granddaughter while my daughter and her husband go to a movie for Valentine's Day (he works the over night shift today). When I get home my wife and I are heading to the local "posh" hotel for a dinner / dance and nights stay, and I have been warned that if I bring my laptop I will be sleeping in the hallway!
So, I may or may not get a post out this afternoon (seven hours or so from now). If not, I will post tomorrow morning.

If there’s an interest, I’ve got a treasure tracking spreadsheet I’ve used in other PbPs that I can adapt to this one. It's not so critical now when we're splitting the spoils from selling orc gear, but it helps to divvy out gold and track the value of magic items we've acquired, so we can keep some balance in who has gotten what.
Let me know if it sounds helpful, and I'll make one up for the party and provide a link to it (probably tomorrow, as Valentine's day and work will both keep me busy today).
Sounds like a good idea, Rikar, especially since we're a big party.
Yea thats sounds ok
is there is anny discution an mutiple people want an item its an awsome way to break a tie but you should still look who can use an item best or who needs it most tho. like giving a cloak of resistence is good for alot of classes but some need them more then others (not me paladins got good saves) but I think most of us are as bright to see this.
i would want to ask a question i dont know if it is possible but i would like to keep the earthbreaker and klar i have now. i would like to ask the GM to make it possible to enchant them with the same amount of gold to MWK and later on to magic as a arcan class could i would pay full price for it ofcourse but RP wise i would never part with these heirloom items.
