Monster Mashup - Table 4 (Inactive)

Game Master CaveToad

They note down all the gear you request and indicate that it should be no problem. Sly, I think for alchemy you use either a lab or portable lab rather than tools. The kit lets you do the mutagens, extracts etc, but for other stuff you need one version of the lab or other.

"You people might want some warmer clothing, cold mountains and all, black ice glaciers. Harsh terrain..." He looks at the crude clothes you are wearing currently and just shakes his head a bit.

Coolio, either way. I don't have much experience with alchemy stuff, so I will take your word on it. As a witch, I have to brew potions in a cauldron, obviously. =)

Oh, I see the portable lab now. (75g)

For clothes, just some loose cotton pants for Sly, maybe a similar vest. Cold doesn't bother him too much.

Right I forgot about that.
Cold weather outfit for 8g (1.75 lb)

ditto.

Ok, waiting on Grub and Ctha'at for gear.

Food updated through day 5. They supplied the food so nothing deducted from your stores.

I'd still be rotating out stuff since we don't have anything that has a long shelf life.

Shaeyl also adds a couple pounds of pepper and cinnamon to his order.

hahhaha...no

The dwarves don't have pepper and cinnamon?

They don't that much of it to distribute, not several pounds, it is very costly, particularly in this area. They aren't likely to hand it out for a military mission, unless you have a specific plan to make some sort of irritant grenade, but there are better substances for that. Spices are more of a trade commodity and less necessary for survival. Hawke would just shake his head and grunt no, unless you could explain why you need that much.

Hmm. Well, Grub could probably use some armor, but I doubt the dwarves would have any large-sized light armor just lying around.

Yeah they don't have anything large, and even the worst armor like padded would take a few days for them to make up a suit.

And I would assume clothing would be the same problem, so there's really not anything Grub needs from the dwarves. Well, except more food, but that's a given.

yeah, I was looking for a cheap scent distraction.

Checking in.

Yup, from other posts it just sounded like cavetoad was busy with labor day weekend.

Yeah was a busy weekend, will get you guys moving soon. If everyone is good on gear we can move on.

I'm good.

Damn dwarves not having pepper, seriously, bunch of sissies.

How are we coordinating which group goes where?

Well, some day when I get it done, there is a map. Right now I have some notes on what is going on, but it doesn't quite particularly matter just yet.

People still around?

yup

We're still waiting on the map and stuff, right?

I don't think so. I think instead of choosing where to go, we're going to be directed.

It sounded like the map was on the backburner - I think we chose a general target to be sent to while the map was being made later.

It sounds like they gave us marching orders, a map, supplies, and left us to get on with it.

The dwarven guards left, did the marshal leave as well?

Yes the dwarves and marshals left.

Sorry, the map is going slow since I am using a different mapping software that works better with outdoor stuff but I am relearning it and its quirks. It isn't critical to any of the story per se, but I do want to give you all a visual just so you can see the area and perspective now that you actually have a map in hand. It will come at some point.

I'd assume Sly in front, other than a rogue/scout type.

With 5 people, to keep 2 awake at any time, we could do the staggered watch. I prefer to keep 2 so that we're less likely to get hosed by a bad perception roll.

same watch cycle we had at the beach?

Works for me.

How about a roll call? We lose anyone?

Honk honk.

Had a career fair today, hadn't had a chance to respond to the two posts yet.

I fear, having not seen any recent posts, that half our group has gotten themselves lost in these woods.

PM's sent.

Haven't heard from Ctha in a while.

Also this weekend I am traveling and visiting friends out of town so posting might be limited or late at night.

That's fine, I will only be able to post very late at night, from today to sunday morning.

Coolio, thanks for the heads up.

Well that's four of us.

If there are other active people in the wings, now would be the time to add them in, we can assume they joined us as we were leaving the dwarves.

There are currently no players awaiting. There was someone who had sort of submitted an app, but never followed up or made any recommended changes, so figured he wasn't really interested. No one in the queue currently.

There is another table running with 4, and I think 4 will be fine. If it gets to three though I might start combining or run a mini recruitment depending on players' wishes.

Have we all agreed to a little spelunking?

Was it this hole that I dropped a glowing stone down or the other one?
Cause maybe I should try that trick again.

The first one I believe.

So... is CaveToad busy? He said there was a map coming, and then nothing.

Sorry gang, I had a crazy day or two. There is a map in progress. I hope to post it tonight yet.

No worries!

so, how is everyone enjoying the fall?

Busy! Probably the busiest time of the year for me. My second term of classes started for my final year of college, I'm planning gifts for my SO's birthday, my sister's birthday, figuring out plans for a Halloween party, all while dealing with a series of interview steps for a company and working on the year long college project I need to graduate.

But I do love the fall, so it's all good.

Your SO is your sister?!

:)

What degree?

(Woops thought I responded to this!)
Hahaha

Computer Science bachelor's

Just trying to keep the thread active...

I'm getting my degree in underwater basket weaving.

Small niche industry, but high demand.
