It would give us something to do. I want to tell them about my family and field dwarf questions.
For example: How much beard oil does a dwarf go through in a typical month?
Thank you, Omen. It's much appreciated.
Definitely. That was way more than I was expecting. =)
I've expanded the icy mountains in the north to better fit my original design of the world.
The Marble Cliff is an enormous cliff that stretches across the entire northern Andril border and well into Xilres.
Thanks for the notification about the week. Much appreciated -- for that and the post as well.
Have any of you read the Sandman series? In one of the graphic novels travelers were in an inn seeking refuge from a storm. To pass the time they told stories. I thought it might be cool if Bjorkus, Dalton, Rilka, and Toramin all swapped a story. What do you guys think? I'm working on mine now.
Yes, I’m a big fan of the Sandman series.
I’ll think of a story Rilka can tell. Maybe about Halfling New Year.
In case I forget to post it in the game thread, Rilka turns in the giantbane +1 sling bullets to the Aestherics.
I've added a link to a Google doc called "Akropash Bubble Goals" where you can add and edit your own goals. In addition, I want you to put in parentheses next to each goal how much time you want to devote to each goal. Dalton, I still need some goals from you.
Since most of Bjorkus’s stuff is dependent on others (NPCs) rather than note how much time he’ll be spending on each task they’re sorted by priority.
I also added a couple notes and will continue to do so as things develop.
I like Bjorkus' priority idea, and will do the same.
What do the people in Marble Cliff do to eke out a living? Is it purely a trading hub/stopover for those traveling north?
Sounds good.
Yes, it's basically that. Although there are a few people who offer themselves as guides.
Is Bjorkus able to get Coralla an extra blanket?
Some of them tend bar.
Rilka, now that you have infusion would you mind sharing a Shield infusion with me?
Yes, but there's basically no amount of blanket that can keep her warm. Her entire life was spent in a sweltering desert, she's not acclimated to deal with the cold.
Gotcha.
@Toramin, not at all. In general you want it each day? It only takes 1 minute to make, so it could be made before breakfast.
Yeah, a +4 shield bonus could really help my AC.
I actually wish Gabe could be there. XD
It's like we all went to camp, but you stayed home mowing yards all summer.
Feels like it at the moment. Looking forward to whatever Omen has planned though. Considering Gabe missed the last down time due to my absence this is a good chance for him to do a lot of things honestly.
Edit: Also, I wouldn't know about getting drunk actually. At least not that kind. I do get sugar drunk though. (And I've had myself tested for diabetes, don't have it.)
Breaking news, migraines are no good if your job mostly involves reading books and looking at computer screens. This is the first time today I've been able to focus my eyes.
I had no idea!
Uhm... What? You're kind of skipping Gabe past something. He wasn't even talking to Krokar on Day 2 at that point.
As far as the Guard, I didn't want to do anything too big. Gabe's main idea was getting the locals to train the locals (the whitecloaks) largely because two weeks (apparently how long the Aestherics are going to be there, rather then the month they originally gave the party) is no where near enough time to do that. Basically, take volunteer's, teach him how to fight, drill them on urban tactics as well as tactics for fighting in the desert. Focus some of their training on conditioning so they can handle protracted battles and basically what he got taught in the army + however the Whitecloaks train theirs, minus anything evil or the like.
Ok.
So Bjorkus, a lot of your days are going to be filled up with planning the celebration and helping the raids. For the sake of planning, I'm going to tell you now that in a few days you're going to get word that the desert elves aren't going to become a problem (they're vicious bandits, but not suicidal). Beyond that, your other (and probably most difficult goal) is with the tunnels, which were mostly collapsed in the fighting (slavers ran out through them and collapsed them to cover their escapes).
Which of Bjorkus’s goals involve the tunnels?
Is it difficult because it's dangerous or just time consuming?
Both. Digging out collapsed tunnels takes time and has high risk of cave ins.
Gotcha.
You didn't answer the first question. Which of Bjorkus's goals involves clearing the tunnels?
Nothing. It's one of Gabe's goals.
That explains my confusion!
Gabriel will no longer be with us. There has been some issues going on that I'm not willing to discuss, and they escalated to a peak today.
Sorry it had to come to that. =/
