Kryolani |
Yeah, we had no way to know things were going to get worse until they did. This is cool.
GM Giuseppe |
BTW, for the future, I would still like to know what would you have done if given the chance.
Kryolani |
Like, if we'd had foreknowledge that I'd go down? I'd still vote for getting me back to the trading post. We might be able to send for a cleric from there.
Serolt |
Sure thing.
Serolt would want to wait until Kryolani was on the mend. Or at least a day or two toward that end.
I don't expect him to be 100%, but traveling with a man in this condition and still getting worse just wouldn't be in Serolt's plan.
So Serolt would have argued to wait another day or two to see if Kryolani was going to rally, or not. It's a very nasty disease at this level and Serolt would take it seriously.
If there was no movement over a few days Serolt then would have panicked and agreed to travel with Kryolani - but not to Oleg's necessarily. Possibly all the way back to civilization because what's needed is one or more castings of cure disease, and that's not gonna be at Oleg's (in Serolt's mind).
But like I said, this is fine, and I don't want to go back. I hate backtracking unless the direct result is something critical like a death. And there's no death here, just disease. :)
Kryolani |
Wait, that Erastil Priest is still at Oleg's, right? I wonder if he's high enough to cast Remove Disease, or at least some Lesser Restoration, to give me Strength back, so I can eat.
GM Giuseppe |
BTW, the kobolds had warned that you couldn't stay there so much time. After two days spent there, their hospitality had come to its end, so there was no real alternative. Even camping somewhere in that same hex without traveling would have had a chance for random encounters, after all :D
Jacobus Varadin |

That's fine. It's all good.
Did you get a chance to check the dates?
Have we traveled two days since leaving the kobolds on the 13th? Is it the 15th now? Did Kryo fail the daily checks even with Jacobus taking 10 and giving him a +4 bonus?
GM Giuseppe |
I've had you departing a day before, because waiting for Kryolani to regain his consciousness was very risky. If he kept failing his save he could have starved to death before you could even reach Oleg. As such, the date is correct ;)
Jacobus Varadin |

Ok, I'm a little 'dense' but we already knew that. :)
On your post #688, we start traveling on the 13th (no problem).
We travel a second day (14th?) and then camp out for the night when the wolf attacks.
Is right now the 14th at night or the 15th at dawn? It's not the 13th; is it?

The point is not what might have happened. The point is Serolt would not have done things the way you said they were done. I'm not going back, and so to discuss exactly what happened and how, is moot. Let's move on - no harm, no foul. :)

Well, it's impossible anyway to tell what each character would have done in a given situation, especially when a PbP GM needs to move the story forward to ensure that the player who's actually out of the scene can come back as soon as possible. I hope that you, as a great and experienced PbP GM, could understand my motives: I really needed to push forward in order to allow Kryolani to join the party as soon as possible, and I had no time to check every character's intentions because that would have slowed us down of another real life day :D
Serolt |
Oh, I'm totally fine with it. Like I said several times. :) We're all good. GMs must push things along at times or we'd be mired frequently in situations that do not matter.
Also, give me some time to get Regin's voice in my head. He's a quiet cat, but there will be role play there once I find it... at least at times.
GM Giuseppe |
The horse is currently at -5 hp ;) Let me know how many uses of your healing wand you want to spend.
Jacobus Varadin |

I'll use enough to leave the horse with 'light wounds' (at least 80% of total hit points.
Let me know how many charges so I can keep track.
Jacobus Varadin |
Jacobus will stop when the horse is approx. at 80% of its full health.
clw wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
clw wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
clw wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
clw wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
clw wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
clw wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Let me know how many total charges are used.

Yep, 14th. Dates are correct now.
Jacobus Varadin |
Just so I know that you're not waiting on me.
Jacobus made it clear that the decision should be made based on 'health reasons' by the 'doctor'. Money is not a concern between the two options.
GM Giuseppe |
Guys just a quick notification. You may have noticed that my posting rate has a tad decreased of late. This in not due to lack of interest however. I'm just working on a PhD at University and that is absorbing the lion's share of my time. BTW, I'll resume normal posting rate as soon as possible.
GM Giuseppe |
Oh, also, guys, you should really check up the Quest&Rumors document. You've completed many quests while you were away, and you need to claim your rewards ;)
Jacobus Varadin |

I have no time to comb through posts right now but this what we have done as I remember it:
- kobolds,
- tuskgutter
- forgotten temple
- anything else (did we find a ring?)
Did we do all of these in our last trip and thus haven't claimed our reward or were some done before?
Roksana 'Rok' Jedynak |
All of what you've written Jacobus was done on this last trip, we've been gone awhile.
Kryolani |
For the record, I'm still here! Not dead yet! Unconscious body, possibly a little slimmer due to the Red Ache Diet!
Roksana 'Rok' Jedynak |
This is the last mention I can find of the spellbook. I thought we'd gotten credit for completing that rumor but I can't find the post.
GM Giuseppe |

Unfortunately the AP does not give any credit for having completed a rumor. Rumors are just something you hear and might possibly point you to some quest, but there are no rewards for a rumor's completion :(
GM Giuseppe |
Hey, what about this one? (link) I don't remember how many bandits we killed, have we hit six?
You've hit six, but I thought I had given you the reward for that. The reward is 400 gp. Didn't I give it to you?
Jacobus Varadin |
I'll write the letter but later tonight at home.
it just needs to address the kobold truce, right?
Was there anything else that the Sworlords need to know (other than how great we are doing)?
GM Giuseppe |

Write whatever Jacobus thinks they would like to know about what you're doing here!

If you gave it to us, I did not record it, so it pretty much didn't happen anyway. :) That said, I do not believe you gave it to us yet... If you did, my bad, but I can't find it. Please give it to us again... or for the first time. hehehe. Thanks!
Serolt |
After a few hours, when you've taken your time to eat and rest a bit, Father Kavken comes to you again. "My friend he starts with his solemn and deep voice, "Roksana here has told me you found the lost temple to Erastil! I...I'm sincerely surprise to see that my dream was true...Well, I would like to know where it is. If you could point it out its location on the map for me...Well, I would provide you my healing services for free. Not only today. Forever."
How do you want me to track this, if at all? I can, for purposes of Wealth By Level, make a note in the treasure sheet every time he heals us if you like, so we don't abuse it in terms of game balance. Let me know.
Also, what about the scroll, was that also free or should we pay at least that much because it was a consumable of his. Serolt would offer (and when I get a post together I will) but wanted to mention it here as part of the tracking conversation. ;)

I'm not that concerned about WBL, at least for now. Do not keep track of any healing you may receive from Father Kavken ;)
Father Jhod won't ask you to pay for the scroll to not hurt you, but it's clear that, as a consumable, you should pay it to him. Maybe you can discuss this in character?
GM Giuseppe |
Quest&Rumors document updated! Also added 300 XP for clearing three Greenbet quests!
GM Giuseppe |
Guys I was also hoping that someone could plan another leg of exploration, so that I can begin doing some prep work in advance :D
Jacobus Varadin |

Giuseppe:
Are the hexes shown in the roll20 map all we have been tasked to explore?
What does the thick yellow borders around some hexes mean?
I'm assuming the hexes with check marks have been explored but let me know otherwise.
I've placed X's in hexes to be explored next. We start out going to the west and circle back around until we get to the hex south of the Old Sycamore. We can evaluate what to do from there at that time.
If anyone wants to do something different, now's the time to speak up. :)
GM Giuseppe |
The yellow borders delimit the area you've been tasked with exploring. The checked hexes have already been explored, yes ;)
GM Giuseppe |
I've checked your travel plan Fabian, but you've basically marked any still unexplored hex XD An ordered list (such as 1, 2, 3) of the hexes you're going to explore would help me a tad more :D
GM Giuseppe |
Ok, I've put numbers on the hexes to show the order of explorations.
So we have explored about 50% of our area so far?
A bit more than that I think :D You have explored 18 hexes out of 30 until now, so that you now only need to explore 12 more hexes :D
GM Giuseppe |
Ok guys, I'm going to assume that you will pay for the antiplague. I really want to make Kryolani come back (I'm sorry for the long wait mate)!
Kryolani |
hey, it happens. The dice gods, they are not kind :D
For the record, I like this exploration plan. I also heavily suspect something else will try to eat me, but NOW I have a wand of Magic Missiles! I can fight from RANGE!
Serolt |
I updated the treasure sheet. I suggest another cure light wounds wand purchase - that’ll take the lions share of Oleg’s 1,000gp, but it’s good to have two as both Jacobus and I can use them. Plus our first might drain if we have another particularly long trip. Do we want to buy any other group purchases at this time?
Giuseppe, there is much we would sell, and I have prices for everything except the Black Wolf fur, from the speaking wolf. I show everything to Oleg and hope he can cover the cash. It includes anything to sell (link) on the treasure list (except the cash of course, that’s listed as ‘to sell’ to show we haven’t divvyed it yet.
Giuseppe, how many rations can I buy? Last time we were limited to something like 90. Is that still the case?
Kryolani, there’s a scroll of fly you should grab. Can’t use it yet, but you’re the only one who’ll be able to. Someone (Jacobus?) should grab that scroll of water breathing. Jacobus, I can cast it to (eventually) if you don’t want to carry it.
Oh, there are also a couple potions (CLW & Endure Elements). Someone please claim them so I know they’ll get used if needed. They should be on a character sheet somewhere. I’ve already taken one of each. Who else?
Jacobus, thanks for lining up our route for Giuseppe!
Kryolani |
Yeah, I'll take the fly scroll. I'll actually be able to cast it from the scroll one level before I can actually cast it in person. Stupid, weird sorcerer levels...
GM Giuseppe |
Hey everyone, I'm sorry for the lack of posting, but I failed my Fortitude save and got a bad flu. I've been completely unable to forge a coherent post. I'll be back as soon as possible!

So, just let me answer your questions one at a time. The Black Wolf fur is worth 50 gp. Oleg can cover up to a maximum of 800 gp with cash. If you wish to sell more than 800 gp worth of goods, you must wait for a week in order to allow his coffers to replenish. I see that the total amount of the items you listed as "to sell" is more than 800 gp, so you'll have to wait. You can sell goods up to a maximum value of 800 gp now and come back in a week to sell the rest.
