I'd like one of the armors, a shield. longbow and some arrows.
Kanzen: Note that those awesome fighter things like action surge and second wind recharge on a long or short rest! Woohoo!
You have been traveling for 4 hours or so today but it's been a busy time! You've talked to goblins and fought gnolls. Also, some of you didn't sleep that well. Galenus woke up paralyzed!
Oh right, first time fighter here!
Kanzen would actually prefer to push on and waste as little time as possible. Me, the player, I'd rather everyone rest up and get up to max capacity, given that we're still in survival mode. As a GM, I hate it when my players pull that 15 minute day trick over and over again, but this is a little different, I think.
I don't mind which way we go, long or short rest. Just putting forth a point of view. If we've found a spot that's easily defensible, I think some of the characters would enjoy some chill time, while others (like Kanzen) would be itchy to keep moving.
Okay, I'm going to grab a bunch of stuff that might be useful or worth something to sell later on. I'm going to mark them with an asterisk, indicating that I am carrying them rather than claiming them. Anyone can feel free to just take those items whenever they want.
Also, neither Eddrikk nor Cyrus has armour on, as far as the loot sheet is concerned. Do either of you have hide armour on? Also, Galinndan's leather armour is now up for grabs, one of you should take that.
Edit: Also giving everyone a longbow and arrows, except Galenus and Irdril, who are not proficient. Can't hurt.
There is also Tiberius's short sword up for grabs, assuming he's going to use the shield and doesn't want to dual wield with spear and shortsword. Galinndan has expressed interest, but again, as far as I can tell Cyrus and Eddrikk only have one weapon each. Were you both going two weapon fighting? If so, maybe one of you should take it.
I also have a metal rod that can function as a club.
Oh I see that you were after a shield Cyrus... I think using a shield interferes with your Mariner fighting style abilities, so you prob don't want that. Did you want the second short sword? Also, seems you get the leather, as Eddrikk has taken hide armour.
Good point. I kept two daggers from the drow loot but I wouldn't mind upgrading.
Galinndan will snag a longbow, arrows, and that potion of healing that no one has claimed.
U had inspiration on the lock pick roll Gal. +1d6
Cheers!
I am unlikely to be able to post this weekend, as a heads up.
I just took a look at the party loot sheet. Hewy's been doing a lot of work there! Inspiration!

Just a reminder to all, please post once per weekday and once per weekend. If you will be unavailable, just let me know! That's no problem! Since I'll know you're unavailable, I won't hesitate to bot you and the game will maintain its flow.
Now I'm not asking for any sort of heroic posting rate of several per day. Just a consistent rate we agreed to in recruitment. If there's nothing for you to do, just post your inner dialogue or something! Keeps things interesting and moving. :)
That's fair, and good for us in keeping a fun game moving. :)
Sorry all, had medical issues with teeth/tonsils stuff this weekend (Friday/Thursday included) hopefully I can be back to posting today.
Ouch! Hopefully they've eased up now.
Ooh! Sorry to hear that! Get well soon!!
We need to find some ways to remove disadvantage on that building check.
With disadvantage, the first three hours has three failures. Everyone come up with an idea to help remove it.
Yes those who forgot disadvantage for no tools on the second set of rolls, please roll a second set of six that we can line up.
Don't forget RP provides bonuses! Galenus' RP gets him a +1 on all of his gathering rolls, as does Eddrikk's about his head.

I've run the numbers and posted the Google sheet in the discord chat.
As of right now, we have a passing group check to find material within one hour.
Caster is letting us all use our Inspiration to cancel disadvantage for the first roll of the building group check. With that, Kanzen, Eddrick, and I can all make or first check pass.
This means we need one more passing roll.
Idril, Tiberius, and Cyrus all have to roll with disadvantage. Idril can grant a bardic inspiration to help, and Cyrus gets his proficiency bonus because of water craft proficiency. That will help. We just need one more passing roll +with disadvantage).
Getting NPC to aid?
They are working as hard as they will eithout something extra, either use of an applicable NPC card power or a stirring speech.
So Galinndan might actually row well enough despite having average strength and disadvantage on ability checks!
17 damage on Kanzen? Ouch!
Are you guys rowing away from your three party members in the water? Please specify. North is up on the map.
Yeah, that hurts! A bit of a dumb move jumping in there, but he's neither smart nor wise, and also desperate to prove himself different from other drow, if only to himself. Also, if he survives this I'm definitely taking mariner fighter style when he gets to paladin level 2, the rules changes make it too good to pass up!
Makes sense! Gotta love having multiple fighting styles.
FYI on spells while rowing, if the spell doesn't have somatic components, you can cast it while rowing.
It's more than the PC's on the raft, so keeping it from harm is important.
Yep. NPCs and whatever gear isn't being carried.
Was looking at the "PBP threads to lurk on" thread and saw a couple of you guys pop up. I'm sure there were others of you commended on there as I didn't check through every alias but props to werepox for running a great Mummy's Mask game and decimus for playing in a cool Last King of Ireland.
Lol nice.. I had no idea that even existed and I'm kinda flattered to make such a list. We are actually on the last fight of that campaign. Took over 4 years in real life to reach that point with about the last 6 months being really challenging to get done. I think it will finish around 9500 posts.
That's awesome stuff. Takes a lot of staying power.
It really does.. Most pbp's die within the first few months of conception, if even that long. It takes a lot of dedication to keep one running and the players interested. Here's hoping this one stays the course!
That is a cool list. And cheers Caster. :) I'm a bit of a latecomer to that Last King of Ireland game, but it contains some solid roleplay.
That's why I like to run AL games on PBP. Short and sweet; usually over just before that critical cut off where games die from lack of interest. :)
AL?
Adventurer's League. It's the 5e version of PFS.
Yeah the short and sweet can be great. A long-running campaign is very satisfying but hard to pull off.
Ah gotcha. I never got into organised play campaigns.
I *love* long campaigns, both as a player and a GM. My current Deathwatch campaign is currently nearing one hundred sessions, and the players aren't sick of it yet. :)
On vacation posting maybe spotty
Hey all, I wanted to make a post here, since it seems I forgot to/thought I had. I'm dealing with some stuff right now, I'm hoping that it won't be too long of an issue, I may be able to get in a few posts here and there, but please don't wait on me until I say otherwise. I will let caster bot me as he wishes, save not spending spell slots unless its to smite either a boss on a hit, or on a crit oh, or to heal someone at the end of a day/before a long rest(obv if someone is dying He would heal them, with lay on hands 1st, spells 2nd). Again, sorry I've been so spotty, just have personal issues atm. Sorry again. its been a really fun game so far, with a lot of interesting characters!
Take care Tiberius.
Yes, Tiberius! I hope things go well for you!
I'll be able to post this weekend but I won't have access to discord until at least Sunday evening.
np
Just to qualify, I've never heard of Dagon in Forgotten Realms lore, but I do remember him from RE Howard's Conan (or King Kull?) stories, and also vaguely in some biblical sense.
Yeah the random encounter doesn't specify what long-forgotten power this altar is to so I threw in Dagon. Seemed appropriate on multiple levels. Cthulhu lore, Biblical reference, and a demon lord of the abyss in dnd, though I don't think he made it to 5th edition. Don't have good access to a canonical source on that.
Great to learn that he's a part of dnd lore, have never come across him before :)
Obviously the abyss is not something I've explored too much...
Good! You'll be having some fun then. ;)
Ha that sounds ominous!
I'm all for a spot more mythos. I've recently been enjoying a playlist of audio books narrated by Wayne Jayne, also known for voicing the narrator in Darkest Dungeon.
