I say continue on the along the road. If we have to make a stop on the way and come back we can.
Sounds good to me, I'll make rolls for the first two. Am I making separate perception rolls or aiding Gavriil? (I'm generally of the view that if two people have good modifiers both should roll and the rest support them.)
I'm going to assume the survival rolls aren't tracking. if they are then Dregan has a bonus of 1.

Tracking may be involved, so keep me posted on your bonus for that.

The road is a good idea and has my vote.
A new link for your existing quests is up at the top.
Also I'm heading out on Wednesday for 6 days. The phone coverage where I'm going is poor but I'll try to post occasionally (Feel free to GMPC Dregan to keep things moving)
Exploration map has been updated.
Awesome! Thanks, Talia!
Thanks
I put up a calendar. It is a bit sow to load, so give it a minute. It got a bit goofy when I uploaded it, as in the months don't fit on the pages right, but you can still see the whole month at a time.
Feel free to use it to keep me honest, and keep track of the campaign. It is editable.
Ok, I say we go down a row and head left across the map towards Oleg's and stop there to get more food or supplies then take care of the other side of row 1. That sound good to everyone?
Sounds good to me. Do we go to H2 or G2 next? If we go to H2, since it is half a hex, do we only need half a day to explore it?
I would say H2 so we don't have to come back
H2 sounds good
You've touched on the difficulty of this map - the half hexes. They are half hexes on the next map as well. So we will take the the whole day as normal, and when the next map is added to this - because you will add to both sides - it will count as explored.
Hex map updated. The fangberries are 16 miles south of the trading post, so either f2 or e2.
I'm away for the weekend, hope all of you in the states had a good thanksgiving.
Thanks, Dregan - have a nice weekend!
Life is very busy atm, may not post until tomorrow. Please bot if needed.
The Trading Post is due north. To the North-Northwest, a the dark green tangle of a forest looms in the distance. To the South and Southeast, you can see the land begin to roll in a steady hill country.
A light rain begins to fall...
OGGM, is the hex we're currently in plains? I'll update the map sheet tonight.
EDIT: Updated the group loot sheet. Let me know if anyone wants to claim:
Shortsword (sell 5gp)
Leather armor (sell 5 gp)
Stag's head amulet (sell 17.5 gp)
Bandit's Gold (2gp/share or 10 gp towards the wand kitty)
We also have a treasure map, but I'm assuming we don't want to sell that!
It is plains.
A word about the Stag's Head amulet. You now have 2 of these, exactly the same. Not every bandit had them. Only Happs, and now this guy. Just food for thought.
This is the point in this campaign where I am never sure if a decision has been made. I'd like to give you all a chance to debate, but how long should I wait? Without someone rolling the 'Exploration' rolls, I never know if a final decision has been made.
I could just go with majority opinion as posted, then make the rolls for you myself. That would certainly be faster, but take away some of your rolling and maybe - slightly - some PR posting opportunity.
Your call, its your game.
I think going with majority rules is the way to go. I'll roll my rolls in the gameplay thread now. I think as far as the rolling goes, we just need to train ourselves to do it after the prompt.
I guess everyone is OK with selling our bandit's loot, except the map and per OGGM's suggestion, the amulet?
I am ok with selling everything except the map and amulet.
And the gold towards the wand.
I agree, put what we can towards the wand.
Cool. I've updated the spreadsheet. Once we get back to Oleg's I'll put in a request for a CLW wand (1/2 down payment) and we'll sell the leather and shortsword.
Thanks, OGGM. I figured kobolds were a "common monster", so they'd use the DC5 + CR ruling:
It is always good to know how different GM's rule the knowledge checks, and will treat my knowledge DCs as 15+ from now on out.
Tomorrow, I'll be travelling for work for a couple of days, and time will be at a premium. Please bot Talia as needed.
Got a page number on that? Ive always just used the 15+ rule, because that's what someone taught me. Learn something mew every day...
That's actually how I've always done it too, until a couple of months back. Then, on another game here on the boards, the GM of that game pointed out the 5 and 10 rule. I think the base 15 DC that a lot of people use is a throwback to 3.5?
At any rate, here's the link in the PRD. The text about the DCs depending on monster type is right above the "Table: Knowledge Skills DC" part. I'm not sure about the page number, because I don't have my books with me, but I can look that up later.
Do you know how many times I've read that Knowledge skill section and NEVER read that one paragraph?
Something new for my RL group.
Ok, wow, I'm sorry. I've been busy the past week and I should have gotten on and said you can roll for me Old Guy. I should be stable now and am working on a post now. Again sorry.
No problems.
I have likewise been absurdly busy. It's been a rough week - my car got totaled and I've been overworked at my job. Things are finally calming down again.
I will read through and see what I've missed.
Gotcha, hope no one was hurt...
Sorry too. Swamped with work. But I take that anyday compared with what
Naralesh had. Glad he is fine.
Yeah agreed with GM, I hope everyone else is alright too. However I just got to be horrible. As of 3 hours ago I'm on holiday for 5 weeks.
Ok, Dregan, does that mean you will be available? If I don't hear from you, I'll go ahead and dmnpc you.
Wait.... Which group in the initiative am I in?
Wait.... Which group in the initiative am I in?
You're not, you are too wrapped up in the role of the 'Great Gavriil'.
Just kidding, missed your roll. You are in Group A.
Sorry to hear this Naralesh! I hope things are back to normal soon!
I'm back and ready to post, when Talia is up.
EDIT: Oh, and Dregan, very nice! Is your work hiring? ;)
Sorry I'm on holiday at home for two weeks then still in country for another week. So I'll be around.
Talia. Sure are you prepared to move to australia and teach a bunch of teenage boys who don't respect education?
Just a heads up, I'm on winter break from school now so I'll be able to post more frequently now. And don't fret about the Kobolds, Talia. I don't think they would have thought twice about skewering us ;)
And don't fret about the Kobolds, Talia. I don't think they would have thought twice about skewering us ;)
Man, that was an ass-kicking though. Kinda like what happened to us with the bandits at Oleg and Svetlana's place :)
Naralesh ftw. Color Spray rules.
Yeah, Color Spray is awesome. I love it until it abruptly stops being useful at level 4-5ish.
<fanfare> Welcome to level 2!
<fanfare> Welcome to level 2!
Talia claps her hands excitedly. "All I wanted for Christmas was a level!"
EDIT: Question - how are we doing hp?
Do you all want to split the 250 gp into 5 shares or put it towards the wand?
Or I guess we could put some of it towards the wand and keep some of it?
*GASP* Level two! I am at last no longer so low in hit points that I am likely to die in one attack.
...again.

hp is half +2
