Pariahs in the Age of Serpents (Inactive)

Game Master Dave Young 992

So, rest it is? The night goes without incident. 2 days to hustle and catch up, but you'll be more prepared when you do.

"Very well, we'll rest then run after them."

That's fine, Kraull needs to recover his HP anyway. Speaking of which, since we have two days, anyone willing to heal him all the way? He'll need 15 back.

Do we know IC that we have two days? If so, Leila could prepare Cures in all three of her slots!

And if someone (Blask?) has a good Heal skill modifier, Leila can try and Aid Another for a +4 bonus - to make it perhaps a tiny bit more efficient

Blask tends to the wounds of Kraull. He uses a handful of local herbs and leaves and makes them into a paste using his tools. He smears the salve onto his sores. There is a slight stinging sensation, but he assures that is the earth working to heal him. He watches for a while to make sure there are no evil spirits trying to infect Kraull.

heal: 10 + 9 = 19

After providing some extra aid, Blask sleeps the night. He wakes in the morning and takes some time to reconnect with the woods and nature. He feels the dirt between his toes and feels better. He asks the spirits for guidance in the coming day.

After feeling the spirits work through him, he gathers his belongings and grabs a handful of berries and enhances their potential helpfulness, then gives them to Kraull to eat.

goodberry: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

Under Blask's watchful eye and with the help of his magic berries, Kraull begins to feel much better.

"You are a fine healer, Blask." The half-orc thanks him after a day of treatment, "It's good that we have you around."

If you hustle the first day, you'll take nonlethal damage, but you'll make good time. You can catch up to them with a forced march late the next day. p.171.

Wouldn't sleeping heal some or all of the nonlethal damage from the first day's hustle?

Also, how many Con checks are necessary from the forced march?

Free for grabs health rolls for the first day! (Should we fight this day, Leila will have to resort to ranged attacks)

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

"Wehw! How big is this forest anyhow?" Leila chirps as she bounces along the path.

Yes, you'll heal the nonlethal damage, more with heal checks. You'll need one check.

With Leila healing, you should all be ok by day 2. You find evidence of
a fight, with one dead hobgoblin and a couple dead giant snakes, but have no fights of your own on day 1.

Day 2, you are rested and the casters have full spells at the beginning of the day. You push an extra hour as the sun begins to set. There is smoke from a small fire not far ahead of you.

Con checks, before you investigate.

Con check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"*Wehw*" The halfling sighs, sounding a bit winded. But the sight of smoke in the distance seems to focus her mind once again. "Look! Fire!"

Kraull will take that first CLW and another one if no one claims them.

Con check + Endurance: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 4 = 21

Being quite hardy and used to daily physical exertion, Kraull seems relatively unaffected by the forced march. Noticing Leila seems to be having trouble, he offers, "Hey, I can carry you for awhile if you want. At least until it comes time to show them my ax."

Number of Berries: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

"Hmm..."

The halfling looks up at the tall warrior, contemplating his suggestion. While she does look tempted If only because it looks fun! she finally shakes her head.

"Thanks! But I'll pass - this time - if only because it will be harder to go unnoticed."

She smiles and retrieves a berry from her pouch, similar to those Blask enchanted the previous evening. Quick learner, this one. After eating one, she looks much better and once again full of energy.

"There - all better!"

Turning her attention back to the smoke in the distance her voice loses the playful tune.

"How do we go about this then ?"

"Uh, someone should make a noise to get a guard to come investigate, we can pick them off one by one that way." Kraull suggests, although by the look on his face he'd probably prefer the direct approach.

"Both I and Dazzle are small enough to hide almost everywhere and quick on our feet. Perhaps a well placed sling bulled would rouse them ?" Leila offers.

With Maqli dropping out, we're again down to 4. I'll adjust accordingly.

There's plenty of stuff for cover in this blooming forest/jungle. A stealthy character could sneak in for a look.

Is Fuhr still with us? He last posted 3 weeks ago.

Yeah, we may be down to 3. Who still wants to play?

I am game to go forward. Will go with group decision.

I'm cool with 3.

Whatever you want to do, GM. I'd prefer at least 4, but yeah.

Does Dazzle, my fox familiar, count as a person perhaps ^^?

We've tried to keep this going. I think I'll just let this one go.

Sorry it's not really gelling, GM. You certainly did try to make it work.

Well - it was fun while it lasted! Thank you for the game : )
