Lucendar's Legacy of Fire PbP

Game Master Lucendar

If you think Dumah would have cast mage armor on himself prior to getting close to the mill, since it does last 2 hours, let me know. I know I accelerated the combat before you had a chance to post.

Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Bahiyy is still concentrating on the village, not noticing anything else.

Lot's of 1s recently....

Yes, thank you. Mage Armor activated.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Quzman gasps in shock as the creature bursts from the mill. Hissing to the team, "Look out from above!" he will draw his scimitar and mace.

As the creature tries to gore him, Quzman tries to smash it with his mace.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Crit Threat: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Additional Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The winged creature says, "Trespassers, I shall pick the meat off your bones!" The creature stares at Quzman and them proceeds to charge at him, attempting to gore him with its horns, but Quzman is aware of the creature and avoids them at the last possible instant, as they pass within an inch of his heart, scraping against the Badawi warrior's armor!

Gore:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Quzman, my action occured before yours, so now that the creature is within melee range, do you want to switch that to a melee attack? If so, let me know the pluses to hit; you can keep the same die rolls

Doh, yeah. Got ahead of myself. I'll edit the entry and reroll the damage for the new weapon (magic mace)

Cool and if you could inclue your combat stats with the mace in your profile, that would be great also

Added the single weapon stats. Had added it as a combo attack, but never got that in there, sorry.

Quzman thanks his gods for the protections of his armor and then proceeds to land a powerful blow to the side of the winged creature's skull, as the creature is off balance from the charge attempt. He hears some of the creature's face bones crack and first blood is drawn by the warrior. The creature screams in pain and anger.
Crit was confirmed!

I haven't seen one of these since 1st edition and my misspent youth, so I'm not sure which skill would be appropriate to learn more about them...

Knowledge Dungeoneering 1+3+4 = 8
Knowledge Nature 1+3+4 = 8
Knowledge Planes 1+3+4+0 = 8
Knowledge Religion 1+3+4+0 = 8

I'm at +8 for all of them, so here's the roll for whichever may apply:
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Great blow, Quzman! In the dice rolls, it looks like you were using d6 for your bow. Didn't you take a longbow from that last group of gnolls? That would bump you up to d8.

I haven't seen one of these since 1st edition and my misspent youth, so I'm not sure which skill would be appropriate to learn more about them...

Actually, it's Arcana, since it is a magical beast, which makes your roll a 17. Yes, you recognize the creature as a Peryton, vicious carnivorous predators. Their most deadly attack is with their horns and it is said they have been known to rip out the heart of a victim with their teeth when they land a killing blow!

Great blow, Quzman! In the dice rolls, it looks like you were using d6 for your bow. Didn't you take a longbow from that last group of gnolls? That would bump you up to d8.

Quzman got ahead of himself, the creature acted first. Since it was in melee, he switched the attack to his magical mace

Perception Check 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Eli leaps into action seeing the fierce creature swooping down to attack Quzman. Eager to get the advatage the bard strikes with Tempest from a positon opposite the warrior. "Alas, demon spawn it's your bones that the meat will be picked clean of!"

Attack Roll w/flank 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage w/sneak attack for flank 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (6) = 8

Confirm Critical 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

I doubt thats a crit, but at least its a solid hit and now we got it flanked

Eli slices at the creature's plumed hind quarters and finds a weak spot through the creature's ribs, drawing more blood. No crit, but the 20s are rolling!

I'll act for Jarva just to keep it flowing

Jarva's Perception check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

He is surprised and unable to act this round.

Round 2 Initiative
Dumah: 23
Peryton: 22 (blood is free flowing from both its wounds but still looks strong)
Jarva: 21
Quzman: 17 (flanking)
Eli: 15 (flanking)
Bahiyy: 5

No one is surprised and everyone can act on your turn. Dumah is up and then the creature

I will go ahead and post my action so you have it.

Eli glares at the beast and stabs at it again thrusting Tempest deep into the vile things hide. "Die feind!"

Attack Roll w/flank 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Damage with Sneak Attack for flank 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (5) = 11

Dang, got busy at work, looked around and there are 22 new posts since this morning! Good job everyone.

Jarva moves to engage the beast and swings with his scimitar.

Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage Scimitar 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

I'll add mine while I have a second.

Quzman seeing that Eli has taken up position opposite him will press the attack against the bird beast. He wildly swings with his scimitar and mace hoping to bring a quick end to this fight before anything else in town may notice.

Attack:Scimitar w/flank 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage:Scimitar 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Attack:Mace w/flank 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Damage:Mace 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Dumah will probably blast it with a force missile but I'll let him decide that

The Peryton, still reeling from Quzman's powerful bludgeoning hit, screams, "I shall kill you all!", and focuses its primary attack on the Badawi warrior, hoping to eliminate the threat so it can focus on the pesky rogue behind it. It lowers its head and brings it up quickly, attempting to gore Quzman. The beast's speed surprises Quzman and the horns gash him from his belly button up to his neck, gutting his armor. The pain is too much and Quzman falls, his weapons falling to the ground harmlessly(-3hps).

Gore:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Critical confirmation: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 confirmed!
Damage: 4d4 + 10 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 3) + 10 = 20

The Peryton then turns without warning and attempts to stomp Eli to death with its 2 hooves, but the rogue is too quick.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

For Eli to keep his sneak attack, I will assume he will 5' step to now flank with Jarva

Three crits already in this fight! Scary...

Dumah will probably blast it with a force missile but I'll let him decide that

Alas, and I so predictable?!?

With a flick of his fingers and a whispered word, a splash of emerald mystic energy swirls away from Dumah's hand. It spirals toward the Peryton, angling quickly in flight to track the beasts movements. Upon impact, it buries itself in the creature, leaving behind a faint green glow where it impacted.

Damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Bahiyy sees Quzman fall, again, he thinks. He sighs deeply, knowing that he is the one responsible for keeping him alive. Still, he will take his chance and try to hit the creature.

Attack:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Wow, I am responsible for the 1s....

Yes, Eli will make a 5' step to keep a flank almost always. Eager to post agian but I will wait for the DM recap of the last round to avoid confusion. Quzman we need to get you some better armor I think :) or least some more HP come on next level!!!

Round 2 Recap
Dumah: 23 (blasts Peryton with force missile)
Peryton: 22 (blood is now gushing, especially from his ribs, where Eli has repeatedly stabbed the creature; it looks worried)
Jarva: 21 (swung and missed) (flanking)
Quzman: 17 (-3 hps, unconscious and dying)
Eli: 15 (swing draws more blood from creature)(flanking)
Bahiyy: 5 (swung and missed)

Round 3 Initiative
Dumah: 23
Peryton: 22
Jarva: 21 (flanking)
Quzman: 17 (need stabilize roll)
Eli: 15 (flanking)
Bahiyy: 5

Probably another force missile, right, Dumah? :)

The Peryton's wounds are now grievous. It looks with hatred at Eli. It then lowers its horns and attempts to gore him, which it does, drawing blood from the lean rogue. "Must warn the gnolls...", the beast struggles to say, as it leaps into the air.

Gore:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1) + 3 = 5 points of damage

Eli, Jarva, and Bahiyy all get attacks of opportunity!

Attack of opportunity: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
to keep the combat flowing:
Bahiyy will challenge energy next, excluding the creature 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

*sigh* Yes, another force missile!

Damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Bahiyy's positive energy heals and closes Eli's fresh wound and awakens Quzman (currently at 6 hps), who still has a deep painful gash running from his belly to his chest.

Eli grunts in pain as the beast gores him but the wash of holy warmth soon wipes the anguish from his face. "Not if I can help it," Eli says with a wicked smile stabing with Tempest again.

Attack of Opportunity w/flank 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Damage Roll 1d6 ⇒ 2

on Elis Init

Eli thrusts again trying to make sure that the magical beast can not escape and warn the gnoll of The Sand Stalkers presence.

Attack Roll w/flank 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Damage Roll w/sneak attack dmg for flank 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (3) = 9

DICE ARE WITH ME TODAY!!

Check for Crit 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Crit Damage if hit 1d6 ⇒ 6

The Peryton's wings spread as it seeks the safety of the skies, but Eli's swing of Tempest, clips its wing and it falls to the floor, unable to escape. As it tries to stand, the rogue moves in and with a flick of his wrist, cuts the creature's jugular, its eyes in disbelief, as it sprays blood all over, and collapses in a heap on the floor, closing its eyes forever.

Awesome rolls! Creature's highlight: crit on Quzman but other than that, you guys destroyed it!

Dumah raises an eyebrow in respect for the blow deftly struck by Eli. He looks Eli up and down, I'm guessing he's now covered in blood, little of it his own... and casts Presdigitation on him to clean the blood away. Well struck, friend.

Yes, Eli will make a 5' step to keep a flank almost always. Eager to post agian but I will wait for the DM recap of the last round to avoid confusion. Quzman we need to get you some better armor I think :) or least some more HP come on next level!!!

Most definitely ;). I seem to find my back too quickly in these melees. I'm leaning towards Toughness or Dodge at 3rd now for a little boost...probably Toughness =p.

Groaning as he stands up, picking up his dropped weapons, Quzman looks to the body on the ground, "Well done all. That was a bit tougher than I thought it would be."

Looking to Bahiyy, "My thanks for the healing good priest."

Quzman will drink one of his potions of cure light wounds to try and heal up enough to continue.

Potion: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Great job guys!

As soon as the monster falls, Jarva immediately begins looking around to see if the monsters screams might have been heard by the gnolls. If it appears that nothing is on the way, Jarva will search the take a look around the building.

The party does not sense that anyone has been alerted.
1d10 ⇒ 4

Jarva looks around the building and only finds stray eagle feathers on the ground surrounding the mill. The doors to the mill are closed and there are blood stains on the ground in front.

"Quickly guys, let's get this thing in the mill, so no strays will see the corpse. We still might have surprise on our side," Jarva whispers, grabbing a talon, and attempting to move it.

With Quzman and the party's help, Jarva is able to drag the 200+ pound dead Peryton into the mill. You do notice that you do leave a wide trail of blood leading into the mill now. Inside, sunlight filters into the mill through the broken roof and missing planks. You see small animal bones all over the place (look like goat to Jarva). In the corner, you see pieces of wood and feathers that seems to form a nest where the creature slept. Also, you find many bird droppings around the place. You also see small mounds of dirt/sand all over the place.

"Bahiyy, could I borrow your shovel? We can use these piles of dirt to hide some of the blood trail we left dragging this inside. That might give us a few more minutes to recuperate," Jarva suggests.

I think I remember Bahiyy posting he took a shovel

Eli wipes the foul blood off of Tempest on the odd beasts hide. He blinks as the gore stuck to his fine clothes vanishes and with a knowing nod to Dumah he says, "Thanks friend, I needed that." As the others drag the corpse into the mill he does his best to kick and push sand over the blood in hopes of disguising the trail. Once inside he finds Quzman and with genuine concern says, "You are taking a beating from our foes, it's a blessing that we found Bahiyy to come with us. I know you are a fierce warrior, but I worry that you keep taking such nearly fatal wounds. It would tear my heart if you were to go and join Kyra too soon. Is there not someway that we can protect you better?"

Quzman looks at Eli a moment, and then reaches out a hand and clasps his forearm strongly, "I truly thank you for your concern my friend. Things have been dangerous to say the least. I normally prefer to be lighter on my feet, but I something heavier might be more prudent in our current endeavors. Maybe we will find something more protective than this studded leather in our travels, or maybe not. I can not help but wonder what will happen when we fight the demon, but right now, we make due with what we have, and survive the best we can. It is the only way I know."

He then turns to help Jarva pull the body into the mill and cover the tracks as best he can and helps search the mill.

Bahiyy using the breastplate from the Captain isn't a character issue, but I don't think Quzman would feel comfortable in that (or Kyra's chain shirt). It was partially due to limited funds at creation, and looking back now, partially thinking PF rangers needed light armor to use their combat styles like 3.5 that he stayed in light armor. If he survives a couple more levels, I think he'll start turning around some with more HP to absorb more of a beating.

Survival (cover tracks): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Perception (search): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Eli holds tight to Quzmans arm, clasped in a style reserved for close comrades and family in Taldan society. "Brothers at arms we are. Fear not as we continue our campaign against the gnolls and their demon leader for I have your back."

The party finds itself in the mill, fresh over their battle with the Peryton, having covered the blood tracks with dirt and sand. The party still neither sees nor hears any patrols.

1d10 ⇒ 7

Where to now?

Eli pats Quzman on the shoulder as they break apart, "Well let's take a look about and see if we can find out why this beast has been kept here, being fed by the gnolls." Eli starts to systematicly work his way around looking for clues.

Perception Check 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Dumah will help with the searching, contributing a casting of Detect Magic as well.

Perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Bahiyy takes the shovel and hands it over to Quzman, "no problems, keeping you alive seems to be my job." Handing him the shovel, "sure enough, I thought we might need it. Somewhere I learned, you should always take a shovel with you into the desert. Not to cover blood, I suppose." He will have a look at the beast, trying to get any idea what it might be.

Knowledge religion 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Perception1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Just checked, you can wear medium armor now as a aranger - if Bahiyy ever gets his armor back, you could use his medium armor. Maybe he even goes heavy armor proficiency, he will need endure elements daily, but they offer good protection - and don't slow him down (it is compared to the group)

Among the various dirt piles in the mill, besides bones, Eli's keen eyes find a half-buried scimitar in one and a silver ring in another. Both items glow magical after the casting of Dumah's spell. The weapon appears to be of fine quality with no scratches or etches on its surface. The ring depicts an eel and a frog locked in a tangle.

Dumah will try to determine the properties of both items.

Spellcraft Scimitar 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Spellcraft Ring 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
+2 if there is Evocation magic involved....

Did Dumah ever try to determine if the mace had additional properties after he leveled up? Is that how it works, you can try again after you increase your skill?

Dumah will try to determine the properties of both items. Is that how it works, you can try again after you increase your skill?

Actually if you fail, you can try once per day. Who has that mace by the way? Is that the one used by Quzman?

** spoiler omitted **

The mace is the one used by Quzman. As long as I am looking, I'll try again on the mace. It only takes three rounds...

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

To the group, Dumah will say This ring will magically enhance the wearer's ability to swim. While I can tell the scimitar is enchanted, at the moment I can't discern its properties. Perhaps after I've rested and recovered my magic again I can try again if Jarva is unable to identify it.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay, couldn't get posts in most all weekend from getting dumped. The split put forth by markofbane sounds fair to me.

Lucendar, I was looking into the companions that rangers get at 4th. Would it be appropriate to find a stray dog in town that would serve?

Oh, his ability point went to DEX, and skills were used reinforcing current skills.

I concur. Let's break it up that way. I am fine with giving the gems to the archers and the armor to Garavel as well.

Also, do we want to start a group fund now, for things like wands of CLW, raise dead scrolls, etc?

A group fund sounds good. We can split the cash value treasure into 6 shares. One to each member of the party and one into a group fund. Who will be the party treasurer?

Keep in mind we also have a bit of credit with the potion maker. However I am about to in character go talk to him about a cure for Dumah and Bahiyy.

EDIT: Do you want me to be the treasurer since I already am keeping track of the items and treasure found? I dont mind doing it.

If you don't mind tracking it, that would be great.

I second that motion. You've done a great job with the treasure tracking.

Okay I will keep track, I will calculate a total of valueable that we have and update my chr sheet to refelect a group treasure pool. Remember I have a notes section that everyone can look at too. If you think of notes I dont have let me know and I will add them.

I totaled up the gold we have found since we started and split it into six shares. Each of the players earns 595 gold and the group has 596 gp in party funds. We also have

4 Persian Rugs (25gp each)
8 short swords
5 morning stars
4 kukri
8 waterskins
3 shovles
2 pick axes
3 bags of grain
2 bags of wheat
12 longbows
12 battle axes
4 suits of leather armor (scorched)
136 arrows
Demons Halberd
7 chain shirts
Masterwork flindbar

I suggest we give the shovels, pick axes, grain and wheat to the villagers for use in getting the town running agian.

Sounds good. I have no problem giving those items you listed toward the town start up effort.

Has anyone checked that halberd for magic? Maybe it is vorpal, the way it sliced Jarva's noggin off!

Sounds good to me, I hope the disease won'T be that big of a burden, or bahiyy levels to 5 soon.....
Next time we could probably try with a heal check for Bahiyy by Quzman, and maybe assists are allowed as well? This way, some could help Bahiyy in treating Dumah.

I believe Dumah checked everything for magic. If he hadn't, then he will.

The halberd was masterwork quality only.

What do you guys think? I doubt there is enough in the church to level us up to 5. Do we charge into the church hoping to find curatives, or do we wait out the disease and see if Dumah and/or Bahiyy manage to make some effin' fort saves? I think I need to roll in the mid- to high-teens twice in a row to kick this. I'm willing to try it though. Like I said, I do have a back up character in the works...

I say the characters at risk make the call. I am fine for storming in now, before things get worse, but I am not the one down several con points and hps, either.

Aye, it's up for mark and pete to make the call really on if they want to try and rest/recover some. Quzman will do his best to treat the disease, and give you a boost on the save attempt anyways.

Hmm...this is a second try at this post...

Lucendar, I was looking into the companions that rangers get at 4th. Would it be appropriate to find a stray dog in town that would serve?

Is that what you really want...a dog? I totally forgot about your companion or I could have built you meeting him into the story. Anyway, we could retcon and say you found the animal in Kardswann's quarters when you searched the Battle Market. He had a bit of an exotic taste, so I could see an eagle or wolf in there. Pick what you want.

I was just trying to think what might be in the area. The wolf would be cool.

Fine to go in.

Alright, does Bahiyy still have nay debts, or was all sorted for the potions of Lesser restoration?

No debts and the party still has 538 gp in credit with the potion maker.

I am away on a weekend break without any internet access, so NPC Bahiyy until Monday as you see need.

Hey all, my graduate studies have begun and I am still working out how to budget my time. This first couple of weeks isnt' too bad but when the full Fall Semester starts I will be adjusting to full time school again. I plan to post at least once a day but when during the day I am not sure what is going to work out best. Please bare with me over the next few weeks as I get adjusted to new schedual and dont fret to move on with the thread if I miss a day, I am sure I'll be back the next. This PBP is way to much fun!!

Thanks for the post, we will adjust! Good luck in grad school!

Enjoy grad school.

You guys are expert dungeon delvers!

I've been delvin' dungeons longer than my character's been alive! Dumah's just an 18 year old whippersnapper.

Not quite for me, just exactly the same age as Bahiyy is - 25.

Sorry for the delay on posts. This first class is a very intensive intoduction to seminary course and they have us reading a TON of information plus writing responses nightly and over the weekend we had two field trips. I will try to keep up, class ends wednesday and the regular semester starts the second week of Sept. Once this week is over things should be able to manager my time better and keep up on a post each day better. Thanks for all the patience.

Did I post that I was rolling Perception, K: Arcana and K: Religion? I meant I was rolling to overcome the demon fever!

Dang!

LOL!

Thanks for the refresher on the magic items! That was a big oversight on my part.

I don't think we divided up the gold either. How about 600gp each, with 459gp going to the party fund?

That sounds fine to me, Mark. Just keep track of the team fund, because we are about to the level where reincarnations and raise dead spells are getting necessary!

Sorry for my delay, was quite busy, will post soon.

I am away the whole weekend with my church, so NPC Bahiyy please, will be back on Monday.

Due to Labor Day weekend, may put things on hold till Monday or Tuesday, so everyone can participate. Thoughts?

Your call, Lucendar. I am cool either way.

What ever you think is best Lucendar is fine. I know I've got a couple of things going on this weekend, and I need to get ready to run my RotRL campaign on Monday.

I totaled up the gold we have found since we started and split it into six shares. Each of the players earns 595 gold and the group has 596 gp in party funds. We also have

4 Persian Rugs (25gp each)
8 short swords
5 morning stars
4 kukri
8 waterskins
3 shovles
2 pick axes
3 bags of grain
2 bags of wheat
12 longbows
12 battle axes
4 suits of leather armor (scorched)
136 arrows
Demons Halberd
7 chain shirts
Masterwork flindbar

I suggest we give the shovels, pick axes, grain and wheat to the villagers for use in getting the town running agian.

This is a record of the valuables we have that are not magical. I also have been keeping track of the party funds on my character sheet.

Im cool with a Holiday Break if eveyone is going to be busy. It's the last free weekend I have with the family. Next week my wife and I are both hiting the books full time.

Either way is fine for me when it comes to a holiday break. We sure are at a great cliffhanger!

I don't think there's a need to announce a formal break. If you can post, do so. If not, we'll pick it up Monday/Tuesday. I have no problem npc-ing Bahiyy since he's limited to buffing or healing. I won't npc anyone else since you all have more options and I don't want to assume tactics for you, which may or may not save the day against Xulthos.

So, Dumah makes a sarcastic crack that draws attention to Ty, and Ty turns around and punctures Dumah? Wow. Thicken the skin a little, dude. :)

So, Dumah makes a sarcastic crack that draws attention to Ty, and Ty turns around and punctures Dumah? Wow. Thicken the skin a little, dude. :)

Love how that works out, huh? Those rolls were sick!

It will complete the comic effect if he one-shots Dumah to la la land.

Woo hoo! Two misses, thank goodness.

Awesome shots! And by awesome, I mean terrible! Thanks! :)

He could have taken one hit and been up. Barely. If both had hit, he would have been slain.

So all out attack then, with Ty and Quzman gone, hope Bahiyy's hit (AC22 even without the +2 for being invisible) did enough damage....
What an opponent, 4 attacks which barely miss, magical abilities, miss chance, and more then 100hp, ouch.

And it did! Whooh, sorry to strike only once and deal the fatal blow - but at least all survived! And tes Ty's crit was th turning point I'd say.

Wow. That was an awesome fight with an incredible finally. Well done!

BOO YA! That was one sick fight. WAY TO GO TEAM. I thought we were done for when Eli went down in one blow and the rest of you were attacking each other! Way to go Pete, keeping us all alive and dealing the final blow!

Great job guys to all of you for keeping this PbP fun and exciting. More cheers from the crowd.. You have finished Book I of the Legacy of Fire. Now, the AP assumes there is a time jump of 1 year, wherein your character may do any of the following, each with its own small benefit at the end of the year:

1. You may become an administrator in the village
2. You can open a business
3. You can open a shrine to your god
4. Explore a personal mystery for your character, if you have one
5. Patrol Kelmarane Hinterlands
6. Rebuild
7. Research
8. Travel
9. Something else of your own creation, I am versatile.

Think about it and let me know.

I think Dumah will do research. He'll probably spend some time here and there on other things (helping rebuild intially, help patrols when a strong threat is nearby, etc.). But for the most part, research. The near death experience of demon fever has focused him more on dealing with threats from other planes. Patrolling is probably his second choice.

He will also need to know what Haleen is doing. The issue of her debt weighs on Dumah, who feels a need to help in some way.

Can we craft magic items during this time? I believe Bahiyy has Craft Wonderous Items, and Dumah was looking at taking a Craft feat or two at 5th level.

Yes, definitely you can craft and do other stuff. In addition, if you have the APG and you want to make tweaks to your character, the year off makes perfect sense in game as to how your character learned new stuff, etc..

Tyronel might look at the archer archetype in the APG, fits his character thematically. Allows you to do cool stuff, like a ranged disarm at 4th level, if I'm not mistaken.

The option is open to all.
