Lugert: Yes you got 1 hero point at level 1, and one per level.
So you have a few crumb trails you can follow. There are the Licktoad goblins, of course. There's the swamp witch, "Megus." And there's that pesky creature stalking you through the swamp. Walthus has offered his home as a base, which leaves you free to follow any or all of these hooks. What will it be first?
They all sound awful, haha. If we trek to the other trail we can at least check on the horses. We may even pay Walthus to check on them every once in a while. The goblins are the mission.
I think the pesky creature following us might be a good first priority.
If it is hostile, you can almost guarantee it will attack us when we're fighting lots of goblins.
Then again, there is that bounty for goblin ears. :o
I say we go for goblins. As for the creature... let's cross that bridge when we come to it.
That sounds right.
@GM Wicked, what time are we leaving the hut? around noon/1pm or so?
Sounds about right.
So like I was saying, the opportunity came through! I just accepted a damn good job offer and will be moving on to much better things.
That's great! Congratulations!
Excellent! Hope you like the new position!
It's very similar to a past job. My former coworker is there and has told me all about it. Great pay, they don't track PTO, full benefits, company trips. I'm beyond happy.
Congratulations.
Sorry guys, been preparing for my last two weeks. Please act as if Lugert got back and told you everything he saw.

The plot is getting thicker.
If I get everything right:
1) Undead attacked the goblins but were bribed to go away. (Weird, since when do undead operate this way?)
2) Goblins found fireworks in some shipwreck
3) Goblin heroes (aparently the ones attacking and raiding) used those to attack the trade caravan to gather some loot for the next time the undead come by.
Am I an omnicidal maniac if I suggest first killing the undead and their leader, and the goblins afterwards?
The plot is getting thicker.
It's a veritable oatmeal! *Squeal!*
That's a good summary of facts. Note that the undead came to the village after the goblin heroes came back with shinies, and the undead left after the king gave them the very same shinies the goblin heroes found.
I think Kandor is our Undead fighting specialist! :o
I really need to start sinking skill points into Intimidate.
That's a skill that comes in handy with delicate negotiations with goblins! :D
We might be able to incite the other goblins to turn on their chief for us.
Loyalty and bravery aren't exactly what goblins are good at.
I was thinking the same thing Kandor. I was pretty tired when I wrote that so I wasn't as sneaky as I needed to be.
Will the goblin have initiative?
I did roll initiative for Plergk, but he failed his perception check to act in the surprise round. As to how he'll react during combat, that remains to be seen... :)
Cool! Another fun fight coming our way!
I am taking a big exam next Friday. I'll try to post here and there, but please excuse my diminished presence over the next 8 days.
Good luck on the exams!
Thanks! Lugert looks like you left out your BAB+Str on the attack roll. That's a +6 ill add on when I reconcile the actions.
Oh wow, how'd I miss that? Good luck on those exams. I start my new job Tuesday so I don't know how that will effect my posting. For the next month it may only be in the mornings and evenings.
Finally passed all the exams. Not as good as I hoped, but still.
Wicked, good luck on yours.
Some exams are funny. I was always in total freak-out mode every Latin exam I took, since it was a bit of a struggle. But I still averaged about 80%.
What subjects were you guys taking?
Mine were English Theoretical Phonetic, English Oral and Written Speech Practice, German, English Practical Grammar, English Translation and Interpreting Practice, German Culture, PE.
But only four of these were graded, others were just passed/not passed.
Also, , quick question - SR is like AC for spells, so I can try one more time, am I right?
Yep you can try all you want. Each spell requires a separate caster level check (1d20+2), but if you fail you lose the spell. So you're wise to use your cantrip.
This cantrip is the most useful thing I can do in combat at this level, so yeah.
Sprechen Sie Deutcsh? :)
I took that in high school (LONG ago) and forgot it all, sadly.
At least cantrips don't cost spell slots.
Ich spreche nur wenig Deutsch. :)
It's hard with all these endings, cases, declensions and strange genders. Why, why is "Mädchen" neuter?
English and Chinese have much easier grammar. Although, I must say, English has terrible pronunciation. But still better than French.
Every language is different, of course.
Latin has no definite or indefinite articles.
And unlike English, the word order in Latin is very loose.
You're right about English spelling; it is a pain.
I believe middle English merged with Norman French to give us modern English, ya? It's the worst of both worlds!
I kick myself for not taking learning another language seriously when I was in school. Growing up in a midwest town makes you believe you'll never leave and need to speak anything but English. I'm incredibly happy I left home to become an adventurer of sorts, but I wish I had another language to get me a bit further.
Duolingo is a fun (and addictive) start. It's free. They even have a mobile app.
I was using that a few years ago to learn Italian. It was fun, but when I decided to bike across the US I had no time for much else. I should download it to prep for my trip to Spain next spring.

As a Dutchman I have had to learn a bit of German and French and a lot of English in highschool.
I can understand the first two a bit, but prefer to keep it in English.
And don't start me about Dutch. We have two particles, 'de' and 'het' and the moment you ask a Dutch person which is the correct one to use he will start doubting it.
Friendly reminder: as we collect wealth and gear, keep a running tally of total wealth received. E.g. Samiya claimed the cloak of resistance +1, and that's worth 1,000gp, so she should keep track of that either in her profile or in her loot tab (maybe you already have, I just didn't notice it).
I had two potions of CLW.
But I used both when down to 2/17 HP.
Definitely need to stock up on more of that later!
Correction: I missed the house rule of potions of clw doing max healing if not in combat. So, I'm at 11/17 HP and still have one potion of clw.
Added the cloak to the loot. Should be fine now.
Busy days ahead, sorry. I probably won't post again until the weekend. Then I'll try to propel us forward.
No problem
No worries. The new job is great but a huge time sink right now.
