Oh you have craft! Didn't realize that! Yes please (when we get downtime)!
Not really Sera. I was just being unpolite making fun of something I really don't know. ^_^
No worries, it just made me smile, picturing rednecks trading in their ratty cowboy hats and trucker caps for helmets with antlers.
It's possible Sera will lose Kesten's ring when we get back. She's under the impression it was a loan. But we are maybe planning to visit Restov soon now, I think?
I did some reading up on the Kingdom Rules and it looks like they advise you accumulate 50 build points or so before moving into kingdom build mode. Also, it looks like we can go to our patrons (the Swordlords of Restov) and maybe get funded for the start-up.
But I know we have some more exploring and some "housekeeping" type things to decide on.
1) To keep or off Auchs, I'm withholding the final judgement until we can talk to him. I think Maja and Kivan will want to try and get any input on Xen, and we might get some other info from him. I think those of us with some diplomatic skill should try and talk to him first. I think it's likely Kesten or Oleg could put him to work if we think he might be safe.
2) What do we do with the bodies? Burn or bury?
3) What do we do with the fort? I assume the wood palisade represents a significant portion of our build points, so I don't think we ought to destroy it. But we might want to try and make it less useful if we're going to all leave soon. Alternatively, we could occupy it for a while and let the straggling bandits trickle in and catch them.
By the way, is it just me, or does it totally look like this is set up so the player could pull a Dread Pirate Roberts and recruit new bandits and just pretend to be the Stag Lord, thus picking up where he left off? XD
Jegred, I can help provide you with Mage Armor until we can get more protective goodies. =)

1)He probably won't know that much, but it's worth a shot.
2) bury, it seems easier since we would have to get a lot of wood to burn all the bodies (I'm also not sure on funeral rites in this area)
3)I think the fort just represents a building for us, and the goods we recovered represent our actual BP, but I might be wrong.
(for humor, and pony) 4)I would never consider such an option!
They have discovered my plans for world domination. I will have to wait until the next night when I shall do what I do every night. Try to take over the world!
Not really Sera. I was just being unpolite making fun of something I really don't know. ^_^
Anyway, Here's the resumee of what we found:
Stag's Helm (Stag Lord) - Maja
Bravado's Garb
M+1 Longsword (Stag Lord)
M+1 Composite STR2 Longbow (Stag Lord) - Idris
Amulet of Natural Armor +1 (Stag Lord) - Idris/Jegred
M+1 Chainmail (Akiros) - Maja
M+1 Longsword (Akiros)
M+1 Heavy Steel Shield (Akiros)
MW Longbow (Akiros)
M+1 Rapier (Dovan)
M+2 Silken Cerimonial Armor (Dovan)
M+1 Club (Auchs)
Miscelaneous TreasureUnless my eyes fool me, we received no new Rings of Protection, so I guess you're talking about the previous ones. One which we found with Joanne and the other that Sera got from Kesten as a gift. This last one is not leaving the sorcerer's finger, but mine might depending on the following.
Although I don't agree with that, in the beginning of this game we considered the possibility of bidding on items that more than two people had interest in. So, in this particular case, we have the Amulet of Natural Armor +1 that we just found (Idris and Jegred and I of course would aso benefit from it), another one Sera is using, and the Ring of Protection from Joanne that I'm using (which me, Jegred and Idris want, although Idris has allowed me to have it for now)
Once again I say I'm against it but, do you want to start an auction on the items?
Hrm, no idea why I thought there was another ring of protection. Don't worry about it, but if Kivan can make another amulet, that'll be awesome!
1) Interrogate and then we decide, please. He's a bandit, after all.
2) I'm going with bury too.
3) The fort is not our priority, but the other party definitely is. Should we wait here for them to come back or should we hunt them down and kill them merciless while they sleep?
4) All hail the Stag Elf Lord!!
Speaking of which, now with my +5 modifier to dex the chain shirt is in the way. I'm going to be using the Bravado's Garb until I can get something better. I will love to see Pretty bare chested (in your dreams Kivan!). Can you please make me some Gloves of Dexterity Stag Elf Lord?
Stag Elf Lord Wizard will consider it as long as proper tribute is given. (just need the half cost for the item and I'm good to make it ;))
As soon as you can make it, the money is all yours! (I mean, to make it and deliver it for me, don't get to excited ^_^) It may be now, if you want.
Is it Friday yet? =D
Hope the studying is going well! I'm filling the void by obsessing over new PFS characters. I need ideas for an Andoran Cleric of Desna for a friend I'm indoctrinating into PFS. ^_^

Lordy, you're telling me. Good news is I'm getting everything done in time so far. I can usually get away with my double life, but occasionally I get a week from hell like this one.
Seraphina, you may reassign your stats to the full extent this level, but you'll need to drop a skill point into linguistics to learn Draconic.
Kivan is correct that the build point value of the loot you've found does not include the fort. It may be worthwhile to remember that a significant bit of construction has already been done to this location, should a group of enterprising souls desire a fort in the wilderness.
Seraphina's comment about banditry provides me with an opportunity to remind you that this is an extremely sandboxy module. You may literally do as you wish. Want to start a bandit kingdom and terrorize merchants throughout the four corners of the world? I can run that. Want your character to found a new school of magic or discipline of martial arts? I can run that. Everybody gives up on being nobility and takes a river boat to Absalom and an oceangoing ship to the Shackles to start your pirate career? I have all six volumes of Skulls and Shackles. Point is, feel free to come up with long term projects to do either individually or as a group, nearly anything can be worked into the plot of this AP.
My project is right here in Brevoy... And it involves destruction!
I'm really missing this campaign...
1) I agree with talk then decide, and as we've seen, Idris does not shrink from executions if she thinks they are warranted, but she also is willing to give people another chance (e.g. Bara).
2) Burn 'em. Buried bodies might become zombies. There's lots of wood in the fort.
We should try tossing the dead stag lord into the water, and see what the river ghost does. Maybe it'll be mad at us, but it also might accept that we weren't able to defeat him without killing him.
3)The fort might be a useful building in the future, but it'll need a lot of repair to be a proper outpost instead of a ramshackle bandit's camp.
4)Egads!
I'm really missing this campaign...
Me too! I refreshed and saw activity here and leaped on it like it said "get your fresh chocolate chip cookies here!" ^_^
Sera might take Idris up on her sparring idea, maybe a greased wrestling match will turn Red's head again. ^_~
(Seriously though, I know how burnt-out research papers and finals can leave you, so I understand.)
1) Ok, so we're agreed to talk to Auchs first. Sera will make sure to bring him his toys to try and help smooth those talks.
2) Agree with a watery grave for the Stag Lord... does Hallmark make a "Sorry we killed him a little too much" apology card? XD
Burning the bodies might warn the others that something has gone down here and we probably have less chance of catching any as they come back.
I don't even remember how many were away from here.
For future reference, I just learned that magical effects that decrease that light level, such as my Darkness spell-like ability, ignore the Light provided by non-magical sources, such as torches and sunrods, to then decrease the light level in one step.
So, basically, every time the sun does not shine bright over us, Pretty will make a whole mess with her ability. Get your darkvision googles ready, folks!
Reference. By the way if you disagree with that ruling just say so, Ramage. I also do not agree with it, but Pretty can benefit from it.
I'm really missing this campaign...
Ditto :(
Horray! Welcome back! How did the finals go?
Oh frabjous day, indeed! ^_^
We could keep it simple, go to sleep setting watches, and decide in the morning what to do, but I believe throwing the Stag Lord's body in the river would be a nice breakfast.
BUSTED! I think you slipped a 3.5 rule to our game, Ramage...
^_^
Today is my son's birthday, (Ack! I'm the mother of a teenager! @_@) so I've been a bit busy. I'll resume Sera's questioning in 10-12 hours or so.
Happy birthday to your kid! My teenage stepdaughter is a joy and a delight.
Having had my own teenage step-daughter live with us for nearly a year, I feel the need to sense motive on that statement! XD
We had fun! Ate tex-mex and cupcakes and watched as he disappeared into the newest incarnation of Kirby-land on his 3DS. (>'_')>
I'm serious. She's brilliant, beautiful, nerdy as hell, a total fangirl for lots of stuff like Doctor Who that she can share with us, plays Pathfinder with us, and is just beginning to discover boys. It's awesome. Of course she has the usual amount of teen girl angst, and the moments when she just can't even. But she's wise enough to remember that this, too, shall pass, and to talk to her mother who generally gives her the balance and advice she needs.
Congratulations to both of you, then! My step-son is celebrating his birthday this week too, but we won't be making much of a party.
Is it true that Obama is gonna be impeached?
Nah, it's just a lot of posturing from the right wing.
I believe even google will not be able to translate that phrase for me ^_^
Hey, LEADER! Whoever you are, step ahead and devise a plan so we could catch this other bandit party!

hah, that would be a bit much for google translate, sorry.
Danny Deever is a poem by Rudyard Kipling that describes the execution by hanging of a British soldier in India for murdering one of his comrades.
"Pour encourager les autres" is French for "to encourage the others", and is from Voltaire's novel Candide: "Dans ce pays-ci, il est bon de tuer de temps en temps un amiral pour encourager les autres" – "In this country, it is wise to kill an admiral from time to time to encourage the others."
Basically, if we strung one of the bastards up on a streetlight every once and awhile we would be better off.
Well, I got the general idea at first, but now I see the nuances of it. Thanks ^_^
We would be ok in Brazil if we hang a corrupt every hour or so...
I'm a spot of blue in a sea of red where I live. Needless to say, I rarely express political or religious opinion in the presence of others.
I'll just say I'm in a very Liber8 state of mind lately. Cookie if you get the reference without google. ^_~
And wasn't the plan that we would all lead in our various areas of expertise? So I'm the pretty figurehead with the claim to nobility and a silver (copper?) tongue and very little skill in tactics or tracking... =P
I'm a decent tracker in dino form; I can track at the same speed that the party can move, and I will have scent.
I'm Russian, but having lived in the states for almost long enough to have my citizenship, I definitely lean towards blue. There are parts of the Republican party that I agree with, but there are many more that I don't. I just think it's funny that they call the ACA socialism and say that Obama is a communist, when the truth is he is so far right of most of the world's left.
In addition to finishing up with Auchs, we need to tote the Stag Lord to the lake and then look into dealing with the undead in the hill before we leave.
Every one of those actions may influence the arrival of the bandit party. Thing is, if they were the guys that we saw making camp yesterday night, either they are about to arrive in the morning or they are not coming at all, right?
Pretty is giving freedom to whoever wants to actually DO something, be it wait or move.
Seeing as we pushed our horses hard to get here quickly, I think returning with all our goodies would take much more time. I mentioned it once but no one bit so I'll ask again: Should we ride to meet with our Kobold friends (they are 24 or so miles away I think?) and get them to send a party to hold the fort for us in the meantime?
I would leave the kobolds out of this. We carry what we can, hide the rest and in one of the collapsed tunnels, or we could wait here until Kivan finishes a Bag of Holding for the group. It will make little difference, but will be useful, and meanwhile we deal with the wraith and the undead in the hills.
Then we carry whatever we can, or hire a couple guards to watch over the place later. We only need to secure the resources, cause the fort itself has been abandoned for ages, and without the Stag Lord nearby, no one will use it.
How much would it cost to fix up the bandit's fort to be a base of operations? If we could hire guards, we could nab the remaining bandits that's when they come back.
I believe the fallen fort would count as many build points to start a kingdom, or to make something out of it later (guard tower or advanced patrol post or whatever)
Sir, yes sir! I think I thought we were waiting on you, but I can kick things off.
I'll be traveling to Cuiabá this weekend, so I may be gone until monday or have intermittent posting in the meantime. Bot me as necessary or whatever.
