I need to go pull up Jeslei, but I don't need a scene to do it. It's just retrieving the crab trap.

We aren't splitting the party are we? We should at least escort the soldiers back to Ghostmoor (first grab Jeslei), re-equip, and then head out to the mines if that the consensus on next plot hook to attack.

I owe a scene about waking from that dream, and I'll get to it soon hopefully. It can be through flashback, so I'm happy moving on to wherever we go next.

Even if they aren't the next plot hook, I feel that Belym will want to go see them anyway.

Yeah, Belym would definitely be looking to head to her clan, doubly so given the proximity and Einora's threats.

I'd be totally fine with dealing with that via love letter or in flashback - at least two of our outstanding plot hooks (aboleths or Ron's troubles) would easily be sufficient to drag Belym out of her clanhold after a brief check in, and that's assuming the reunion goes well in the first place :p

Yeah, after smaller quests I vote for heading to the money even though Tom wants to go to the temples. A combination of temptation and the desire to help against a potential disaster.

I'm good with any direction. I would vote Belym's clan first. I've just posted my three pressing items of business before moving on. All can be handled through flashbacks.

It's been hovering over Belym longer than I've been playing, so I'd say it's made it to the top priority.

Is Ghostmoore in the same direction? Roshan would at least like to check in with blacksmith-sama to pick up the chakram and see if she can get him started on something suitable if the church won't give her all the pretty sharp things.

If I'm following correctly, Roshan's equipment is as follows:

••• Godslayer Chainmail (2 armor, worn, clumsy, infamous)
••• Demonic Crossbow (Near, flaming, +1 damage.)
• Khanda Sword (close Hand, melted)
•• Talwar Saber and Brass Shortsword (Close, +1 damage, shattered)
• Other Talwar (slag)
• Sinner's Aegis (tanning)

To have a complete Censure of Hebron Roshan needs two light blades (tulwar), a heavy blade (khanda) to pair with a round shield (dhal), and a chakram (chakkar quoit).

Ghostmoore should be on the way - iirc, we left the town heading east, and the info Belym has was that her clan left heading south. Probably not too many alternate paths available through the swamp, given the cost of undead wards and such.

Roshan

oh, shoot. The talwar sabre and brass shortsword weren't shattered... I apologize, that was a misunderstanding.

and Guys, can I get a rough list of what everyone is doing (we have, by my count, 5 plothooks) and where you guys are going next. I expect we will do the wrap-up in flashbacks mostly.

Cool, cus that loadout had some fun potentials.

Ron's stuff

1) Talk with Conwall about demon dream
2) Detect Magic on our haul of loot, plus spout lore on anything that comes up magic
3) Talk with Larune, get direction for establishing her religion on earth, and ask about what to do with small demon issue
4) Drop off soldiers in Ghostmoor, preach the good word of the lady, possibly leave Beldroth and Merrick there to create the first church of the Emerald Lady. Also, exchange about 4,000 gold worth of infernal currency and gems into a more useful currency.
5) Head with group where group decides, looking at Belym's clan first, which makes a lot of sense given how close it is.

Tom

1) Retrieve Jeslei.
2) I guess talk to the other cultist in a gem I have whose name I forgot with the group to decide what to do with him.
3) Clean the meat off the bones of Einora and Ishvar's skulls and package their blood in vials along with Einora's broken blades and anything Ishvar might have associated with his presence.
4) Head out to explore the world, assuming Belym's storyline isn't something that will take weeks in game.

Tom

3) Clean the meat off the bones of Einora and Ishvar's skulls and package their blood in vials along with Einora's broken blades and anything Ishvar might have associated with his presence.

Dayum.

Well Iisac's followers keep a catalog of medically meaningful specimens. The bones of gods, their equipment, blood, etc. all seem like something they would store.

Oh, makes sense. Btw, after camp everyone should heal 1/2 their max HP.

1. Avoid apologizing to Belym because words are hard.
2. Petition Iisac's host for sick weap's.
3. Check Ghostmoore to see if there's still a blacksmith.
4. Ask to borrow money from Tom "moneybags" Bonney.
5. Pay for repaired chakram.

1. Check on the clan.
2. Find a way to heal the arm.
3a. Settle back in to a comfortable, familiar life at the clanhold.
3b. Resume the adventuring life when 3a proves impossible.

Roshan has only ever had 7 gold. Would she have easy access to Ron's hoard, or do we need to do a scene?

The stats for the Chakram are (Reach, +1 damage 0 weight) It's part of the move Cleansing Censer.

Current Gear:
Interrogation Tools
• Relics (turban, comb, bangle, boxers, knife)
••• Godslayer Chainmail (2 armor, worn, clumsy, infamous)
••• Demonic Crossbow (Near, flaming, +1 damage.)
•• Talwar Saber and Brass Shortsword (2-handed, Close, +1 damage)
• Iron Broadsword (Close)
• Sinner's Aegis (+1 armor, terrifying)
Chakram (Reach, +1 damage)
3 potions

Also, so I know ahead of time, what would you prefer I roll when there is a difference of range? I have seen many treatments.

It is group gold so you always have 1/5th of it. I am just tracking it for everyone.

Which reminds me, I'll need to know how much everyone spent while in town.

If it makes you feel any better, it wouldn't have worked.

Whew

Assuming they have some in Ghostmoore, I'd say we should burn a good chunk of gold on healing potions - maybe another 2 per PC?

Aw shoot, I could have said Eloen manufactures healing potions... that would connect a lot of neat threads.

you know that, had you said that, the healing potions would have been connected to the plague in some way, right?

Roshan told you guys that stuff is bad for you...

Drugs're bad, m'kay.

I'll be boothmonkeying at PAX the next few days, so I may not be able to post as much as usual this weekend.

Also, Where are you guys going after the Belym scene (Eolen generally, I think, but any stops along the way?)Once I know, the mine will probably turn into a flashback.

Not knowing the geography is the temple to Iisac on the way or at least not dramatically out of the way?

I don't mind either way.

It would be pretty definitely out of the way. What was that map-making softwar you use? Could you link to where I can use it?

Topics I'm thinking of covering at the hold:

- if Arika's still alive, let her know she didn't kill Belym after all

Stuff from this post - the Stonespeaker can probably tell Belym about the node, does he think there's anything that should be done about it?
- Why didn't Belym tripping the alarms bring someone to investigate?

- What prompts Belym to leave again?

Anyone interested in some Zombies?

okay, 3 specific questionss

1. Are you guys stopping at Norwich first?
2. Ron... where did you say you could find that flower again?
3. The Dutchy of Eloen is your destination, correct?

At the storm shrouded peak of the emerald mountains during rare moments of clement weather.

Not sure where we are headed.

Where is Gilfaldir? Do I know?

1. Ron's call, I'd say.
3. I'm fine with that as next priority.

Gilfaldir is one of the larger dwarfish mines, located in the unclaimed lands west of the Duchy of Eloen. if you can get the others on board, it is only 5 days out from the edge of the Duchy.

Not to be too sappy here, but I wanted to say that you are all so good!

You all bring amazing creativity, solid writing, and a keen grasp of the system. The interplay between characters is great. This campaign just works, and it works so well.

umm, made a little mistake there, Gilfaldir is in northern tanard, above the permafrost line.

where I said it was is actually Bogdoruhl

We already had horses for Ron, Conwall, Belym, and Tom: http://paizo.com/campaigns/DungeonWorldPBPPlay/gameplay&page=23#1106

So we should only need 3 more (Roshan, Cassandra, Merrick).

From the party hoard, Roshan has spent 33 Coin on equipment and 150 Coin on horses.

Group gold has been updated through the bribe to the conscripts.

Guys I've been very sick. Will catch up today!

Poke?

I'm still here.

I think we're just waiting on Ron to quickly wrap the conscriptory scene up, and we'll dive into the Duchy.

Ah whoops.

I have had trouble posting in the forums all week - not sure why.

yeah, the forums have been kinda... off this week.

So, I'm going to dip my toes in the DM side of the pool. Anyone interested in DW as an engine for steampunk Scotland Yard? If so, you're in luck!

I'm still here, I just haven't seen anything addressed to me in a while

As if a giant, boobytrapped facility with a sentient construct stewart would be built to protect a recipe for chocolate cake... *exaggerated eye roll*

Does this mean a planck is the shortest possible distance between two points before we throw out all the traditional rules?

I may have very limited internet access this weekend.
