In this case I'm prepared to say you started casting while they were riding in, so yes you had the time.
I'm on mobile and can't move my tokens, if someone could move my tokens I'd appreciate it.
Ya....same boat I'm in 99% of the time.
Moved Rok's token.
Loot:
Alchemists fire - 2
Leather armor - 7
Dagger
Shortsword - 6
Composite longbow (+2 Str) with 20 arrows
Longbow - 6 with 20 arrows each - 120 total
14 days of trail rations
Silver Stag Lord amulet worth 20 gp
95 gp
Anything you don't claim Oleg is happy to buy from you for full price.
We might should hang onto the amulet. Anyone who is proficient and needs a bow should snag a quiver and bow. Keep the rations as a group supply item, and the Alchemist's Fire.
Each of us nab a horse who needs one as well. Sell the unwanted gear?
Fine with me, but if we turn any bandits and eventually enlist them as militia they'll need weapons and armor again.
Who's going to be our quartermaster?
I will claim one of the alchemist's fires if there are no objections...
The new map up top. 'The Greenbelt' is for you to use deciding where you are exploring. The hexes around Oleg's are numbered for you to tell me where you are going first?

Seconded - look at my man, doesn't he do a good job! ;)
One day I'll get enough money for a hand-xbow, not gonna be for some time though!
Two plans of action have been suggested.
1. Head straight to the remaining bandits and deal with them.
2. Explore the surrounding hexes on the map.
What are the votes? I've seen Darian & Lisl for option 1. Isabel & Rok for option 2.
Jory and Freya to cast the deciding votes.
Freya was ready to go after the bandits, even using one of the surrendered as a guide if need be.
Awaiting on Jory's vote.
Anyone taking the Composite longbow (+2 str)?
One thing to note, Oleg doesn't have a great deal to sell in his trade goods at the moment. If you require something most likely he will have to send an order for it to Restov. So a week or more to deliver.
Direct after bandits/
You captured three bandits, two badly wounded. All were very eager to give you any information that might save their necks.
Rok can tell you that their trail is extremely easy to follow, are you going to take the information offered in hope of mercy, or follow the trail without accepting any of their offerings?
Any bandits left alive at the trading post will most likely be dead by the time you return. Either at Oleg's hands, or when the troops from Restov arrive in 3 or 4 days.
You don't even need to make a Sense motive to pick up on Oleg's intentions to any bandits who fall into his hands. :)
Sorry all. Today turned so hectic I don't have time to sit down and update any of my games. Good news is what was going to be a busy Thursday is now nearly empty. So lots of updating tomorrow.
So the signal is to let us know the sentries are taken out, but I assume the rest of us won't be close by until that happens.
Should we assume it'll take a round or two to get into place and that we have time to prep some buffs?
You can set up buffs to be used when the signal goes.
Alright, well I need to use a standard action to give everyone the precise strike, but since Darian is already in the middle of the camp I'm going to give that up. I'll have my action post up in an hour or so when I can get home and look at the map on a larger screen.
Roks, as you'll likely be front and center drawing fire, you get shield of faith for +2 AC.
Will update sometime between 3-4 EST sorry for the delay.

You are now moving onto the sandbox part of Kingmaker, and since the Random encounter table is a killer, seriously! You could have had a CR7 encounter on your way to the bandit camp.
With that in mind I've decided that now is a good time to have everybody level up.
When you do you can roll hit points here, if it's not a good roll than you can take the average +1.

_____________________________________
I assume we can sell most of the surplus to Oleg...
Being the heroic soul Darian is, he is going to nominate to let Oleg have back anything that was stolen directly from him. Help him get back on his feet.
That seems reasonable.
Agreed.
Of the collected loot only the crates of furs and hides carry the Leveton mark. It seems a lot of what loot these bandits collected has been sent to the Stag lord.
Just per the questions over in gameplay, I am on board with executing the prisoners who have outstanding warrants; they've already fled the law and they are a continued risk.
When it comes to the exploration portion of this venture: I am fine with doing ever expanding rings outwards from Oleg’s, with periodic return trips to his fort to sell off and recover and buy supplies. Maybe check in for news as well. If we hit a natural boundary like a river or mountain range, maybe use that as a stopping point that direction for a while until we reveal everything on this side of it first?
As for loot I suggest the following unless someone wants something from the below list, in which case I am fine with that.
Awaiting Disposition
A pair of silver earrings worth 150 gp. - Sell
A wooden music box worth 90 gp. - Sell
three crates of furs and hides worth 50 gp per crate. - Oleg
A polished wooden case of potent greenish herbal liquor. There are still eight bottles with liquor left in them, each worth 20 gp. - Maybe we keep this, as a possible ruse or trick/trap on The Staglord?
Leather armor x 20 - Sell
Dagger x 5 - Sell
Shortsword x 17 - Sell
Longbow x 16 - Sell
Arrows x 176 - Sell 100 of them, put the loose 76 in the group fund to replenish any we may use of our own supply.
Composite longbow - Sell
Studded leather armor - Sell
Masterwork Handaxe x 2 - Sell
Longsword x 2 - Sell
I also think we should do an even split of cash amongst each person in the party + 1 for a group fund for things like rations, potions, wands, scrolls, etc.
Last spam message for a bit, but DM...if none of these bandits are going to be repentant, or if you just don’t wanna deal with it, you want us to perhaps just gloss over that bit, maybe just post we offer and find none being honestly repentant and move along? Or do you maybe have plans for some of these to actually see the light?
No objection to the proposed disposition of item or general scheme for exploration.
The bandits are a difficult situation, but thinking about where this AP heads I thought that rather than just hand waving them away, the party can, if they want to? Start building a small corps of loyalists.
The current survivors have seen first hand that things are changing in the Stolen lands. At the moment they are in the air. Left to their own devices they will either drift back to banditry, or vanish to safer territory.
You could put them to work in some capacity? Oleg for example needs someone to handle the stable. With the trading post now being manned with guards there is less risk leaving them here.
I'm happy to turn them into NPC's, with actual job skills.
As for exploring, the Greenbelt map up top is still numbered, so let me know when and where you're heading out to?
I've also updated the Notices link, there are more there for you to look over.

I'm keen to put them to work. Isabel hasn't lost her idealistic streak at all so if she can turn them to use, rather than leaving them to drift away then good.
On the other side of the coin, please do say if trying to redeem loads of people starts getting irritating/annoying/too much work! :)
Second the loot distribution.
As to exploration, how about that week long loop I suggested which will explore the area to the east of Oleg's? Hopefully since its mostly open ground it'll be a nice easy start.
Then...anyone opposed to this sequence of hexes?
5-6-12-11-10-4-Oleg’s. Then reassess?
Just saw Isabel’s suggested route of 5,6,12,18,17,11, Olegs. I am fine with that pathing as well.
As for loot I suggest the following unless someone wants something from the below list, in which case I am fine with that.

That works for me. For what it's worth, I like the idea of a party fund.

Any thoughts GM?
5,6,12,18,17,11,Oleg - 3rd yea vote
For gold earnings, break into 7 shares, with 7th as group fund - 3rd yea vote also
Agree to dispose of the redeemed captives in productive roles. Suggest we appoint Isabel (inclination and force of personality) or Lisl (for truth ability) to manage their employment in the campaign going forward?
