Welcome both! Just fyi, we have a discord server we use to chat randomly and as our means of communication should Paizo go down for weeks at a time. Galenus, Galinndan, Kanzen and I actually played a one-shot with one of my friends from another game via discord while Paizo was down.
Kanzen, I can't for the life of me remember what you played in that game (airship pirates banshee). Can you remind me?
Also
You stumbled upon each other while wandering the Underdark and stuck together for mutual aid and protection. You have now wandered, trying to find a way back to the surface, into Neverlight Grove, home to many sentient fungi called myconids. You weren't able to communicate with them until they released a puff of spores and then were able to speak directly into your minds and you with them. You were introduced to two of them, Sovereign Phylo and Sovereign Basidia, who seemed particularly in charge. Phylo invited you to join it in the Garden of Welcome, an enclosed area of the grove. Basidia seemed somewhat concerned about this but didn't say anything. Phylo leads you merrily into the grove...
This is where you are when you meet the PCs in a little while.

Welcome folks!
I played an elven tempest cleric. All those thunderwaves :)

Hello Odak and Zoltan!
I played a hermit wizard who wasn't keen on getting hitched at his family's whim.

Hi guys! It's great to see you both again!
Since both of you are dwarves, would you like to have any shared history with my PC?
Odak, I see that you have a background in Brewing. So does my character! Perhaps our families knew each other? Maybe they worked together or were rivals? Reading your backstory, though, if we went this route, it's unlikely you'd remember me!
Zoltan, I see a hint of you bring a treasure Hunter in your profile. My character is a treasure Hunter extraordinaire! Perhaps they have crossed paths or even went on am adventure together at one point in their past.
Odak Boulderfall |
Maybe you know of my history. I may not remember you, but having someone in the group knowing how far he fell when the accident happened would be awesome. Maybe our families were rivals and, not knowing me personally you had celebrated a blow to the family. That could bring some interesting character development when you actually get to know me.

Could be that Zoltan heard of Galenus’s tales? If you were famous, or that I insisted on meeting when you when you reached my town, back when I could not walk, and interview you on your adventures?
Odak Boulderfall |
These mushrooms don’t seem like fun guys. Bud um bump tksssss.
Galenus |
Odak - How about I simply know of your family, but maybe not you personally. I think that might work well enough for an introduction.
Zoltan - That sounds great! I'm good with either you having heard of Galenus before, or you having tried to interview him before your accident. Want to pick?
Kanzen Millithor |
So Galinndan, now that you've got a +2 short sword, could I maybe have your old +1 short sword when you're done?
Also, if whoever takes the magic armour has spare armour left over after that, my acid-damaged studded leather is due to be replaced too...
Galinndan Siannodel |
Sounds good! And Galinndan would be happy to swap out once we've prevailed over the aggressive local fungi. :)

Odak and Zoltan, just fyi, I'm often faster at responding over Discord if you want to hop on our channel.
here's our link if you need it again. It's also in case we need another channel for communications should the site go down.

I’ll sign into the channel tonight.

A thought. I forgot to do anything with the 350 gold voucher the duergar gave us.
Could Galinndan have picked up a spare suit of studded leather armour and a silvered short sword that got packed away until now?
Galinndan Siannodel |
It's occurred to me that Zoltan or Odak could have feasibly heard of Gallindan.
His background is folk hero, mainly from fighting orcs threatening his people then hunting drow, which is what led him to being captured.
He was a lot more cheerful before having to fight a lot of orcs and drow.

Sorry guys. Had to cut the update short today because busy busy but you had little left to do here anyway.
caster4life |
ooh fun. Go ahead and roll a long term madness and duration for yourself as well. If not, I'll get to it later.

The character becomes attached to a “lucky charm,” such as a person or an object, and has disadvantage on Attack rolls, Ability Checks, and Saving Throws while more than 30 feet from it.
Hours: 1d10 ⇒ 2
So 20 hours.

What a bunch of misfits. We're basically a mobile refugee camp at this stage!
Galenus |
How is that different from what we were before?
Kanzen Millithor |
Ha it's not significantly different I guess, but we do now have a legit refugee group fleeing their long-standing community. Before we were just a bunch of random cons on the lam!
Galinndan Siannodel |
Escaped prisoners fleeing to freedom!
But yes, now picking up refugees.
caster4life |
Yes, Galenus. You guys definitely still have those spell stones. I'm not going to assume you dropped them somewhere. XD
Galinndan Siannodel |
@All: My free time is going to be quite limited over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I might be able to post later on over the three days, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to.
caster4life |
Very busy at work and at home. Can't updated today but should be able to tomorrow.
Galinndan Siannodel |
Just so you all know, I won't be available much at all on Friday, and a limited amount on Saturday and Sunday.

Irdril, I've been re-reading magic stone lately and I think it's not nearly as good as we thought it was. :(
I don't think it grants a bonus action attack, just a bonus action to enhance stones which then can be used to attack. Consider that it doesn't have any wording saying you make an attack as part of the bonus action of casting the spell, unlike spells like green flame blade "As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell's range." Let me know if you find something different to support our old interpretation. I would, of course, let you retrain this cantrip if it's less interesting to you when it doesn't grant an extra attack.
Galenus |
I brought the question up to the 5e forums, to help provide support one way or the other.

There's some decent ideas about house ruling Magic Stone to be a bit better, in that thread. We may want to consider some of them.
Galinndan Siannodel |
I forgot to mention headache here. Back posting.
