The Crucible of Freya (Inactive)

Game Master Grimmy

Nope. Who can carry more weight?

According to my math (which isn't reliable) Vhillish (STR11) + MW Backpack should be able to lug around 43.0 lbs x 0.75 for a Light Load

32.25 lbs in old money?

So Vhillish needs to drop around 10 lbs+ in gear regardless...

Have ditched the following gear:

Sunrod 1 lbs.
Iron Pot 4 lbs.
Oldlaw Whiskey 1.5 lbs. (sniff)
Coffee Pot 4 lbs.
Dagger 0.5 lbs.
Soap 0.5 lbs.

- 11.5 lbs

But will add a Shaving Kit 0.5 lbs

+ 0.5 lbs.

Yup 32.25 lbs vhillish, hero lab agrees with that figure.

You are correct, for some reason I appear to have rounded too quickly or something when I set up the loot tracker.

That's a good list but there's no way you're tossing the Whiskey or the Coffee Pot. Damien will happily take both. Camp just wouldn't be the same without them!

Are you guys able to sign in and edit the loot tracker yourselves?

Edit : Loot updated as per your changes Sergeant! You're all set for a forced march!

Maybe Vhillish could get a pack for his hound dog :)

If any one has handle animal they can always start training the dog during downtime too.

Vhillish has both Handle Animal and the innate Speak With Animals ability so planned to do exactly that DMG :)

And Sam has ride

So who leaves early with Damien and who stays to go to the market?

It's probably smart for Damien to be one of the ones going to the market actually. It looks like I'll be shouldering one of the tents. Yes, no, Janna?

Astor, are you willing to take the other tent for now and deal with the encumbrance?

Janna, it's kind of a funny thought but it might actually work decently for you to take one of them? It doesn't really seem like it would fit roleplay wise though :P

Samduc, have you thought about any gear changes? I only ask because with a medium load you are the only party member moving as under 20ft...

Everyone, feedback is important to get this stuff sorted out guys. Unless you want to give me permission to make executive decisions about money and loot distribution I need to hear opinions on things. A "no" is fine but silence doesn't help.

Thanks for your help guys, just trying to keep everything running smooth :)

Leoven does not participate too much in the decition making. He let the experienced guys decide.

Janna will carry a tent. she does not have much currently.

are we getting large tents?

Sam is waiting to buy a riding dog to carry his gear. My starting wealth left me way short. The loot spreadsheet seems to indicate I have 6gp coming to me. Maybe I can train the new dog and ride him.

I think we buy two big tents.

2 large tents seems the best way to go yeah.

I had suggested that we use the other loot to purchase one of the tents but if you need your share now that's fine Samduc.

Since Janna is carrying the second tent, you should ask your buddy Astor to take a couple things for you in the meantime :)

A tent would put Kevezyat into Heavy load, but just by 7 lbs, she could foist off her grapple hook and rope (14lbs) to get back to Med load.

Using the loot to buy them is ok with me.

Geez pipe and tobacco weighs 2 lbs? That seems heavy for some smoke.

I am happy to join in decision making. I definitely agree with getting 2 tents.

However Jerrid is very much a loner still, even if he has opinions about things like this. He is quite strong for his size but wont even think to help unless asked (or told).

Jerrid will go from the shrine to outside town. Lannet should also leave asap. If he doesn't that could cause us some problems with the merchant and his guards.

Cheers

I still think you guys should get a mule. 8 gp, carries up to 225 lbs and still moves 30ft! (150 lbs if you want him to be able to run x4)

The problem is that it would be a stirge magnet. It would make everything easier apart from that. And most of the party is finding making the weight a challenge.

Maybe if Shandril comes through we could just rub it on Bill.

Cheers

Ok yes there are the stirges to consider but aside from that it seems like just the thing for the party who is finding their packs a bit heavy.

I'll keep my nose out of your planning, just making sure you guys knew how cheap and hearty they are.

(I think I will have Lannet mention the idea in gameplay)

Hey guys, sorry for the silence. My wife and I just went under contract for a home so it's been a crazy few days and I've been very distracted. Astor will gladly carry an extra tent. I'll also make a post in gameplay this morning. Again, very sorry, but these are very exciting times in the household!

Nice, you're buying a house? That's cool.

Yeah, we'll be buying our first house. Very exciting but super stressful!

Congrats.

Congrats man!

As far as basic logistics like this I generally handle it mostly OOC cause for the most part is really boring roleplay, at least from my perspective. If we figure out who can take what here then someone can simply ask in the gameplay thread and we're all set. Then again that's just me.

So it looks like Shandril solved our stirge problem. Thank you Jerrid! We did not want me talking to her again :P

In that light, a mule, saddlebags and bit & bridle are only another 14gp. I say we grab one. Then both Leo and Sam can also drop off some extra stuff!

On the topic of paying for this stuff, if we use the undivided loot in the tracker, it will only cost us an additional 3gp each. Any objections?

Gratz on the new home, always a real event when that happens :)

Mule sounds fine to me :)

Astor, I am happy for you. We are currently girding for a move back to mainland UK in the fall when work ends.

As for the undivided loot I suggest the party gets a single share of all treasure to be used for consumables like flasks, scrolls and wands of healing.

Cheers

Or say tents?

Indeed.

Congrats on the hus-buying Astor :)

Agree we should get the mule (name of Number 7 springs to mind ;)

Guys?

I'm back.

That is enough votes to use the party fund D.

two tents = 60gp
mule+accesories=14gp

74gp

Party fund had 69.2, Janna said she will cover the difference. She will only need to contribute 4 gold and 8 silver rather then the 20 gold she mentioned. I will let you update the tracker so we don't both end up doing it and screw it up.

Sorry all, yesterday went from 5am until 11pm, very long.

Damian I added a mule tab to the sheet, but I guess the best thing is to add the mule to the character tabs as a container so the items are still listed on the individual characters tab?

That is what I was thinking. Doing both might actually be the way to go. I'll take a look later.

I had actually already added Janna's 20gp to the party fund. Damien will cover the additional 4gp 8sp.

Edit : All updated.

Everyone feel free to toss gear on the Mule. Just change your 3rd container to "Mule" and flag the items stored there :)

Who else is with lannet?

The original plan was everyone but Janna, Astor and Damien.

With you three still at the shrine I think we're going off the idea that you guys still haven't left yet? Otherwise it's just Samduc and Vhillish with him.

Sam stays close to Lannet. He tries to keep Lannet amused by adopting a similar false accent, but he decides to adopt the accent of a Chelaxian noble.

Where the hell is "Cheliax"? :P

Cheliax doesn't exist.

I'll be busy at woek for the next few hours, back late afternoon/early evening to sort out who is where and what time it is so we can get the show on the road.

Fair enough, so if Vhillish is with the rest of us, where are Lannet and Samduc? The whole point was to keep Lannet out of sight and you can't mean to tell me everyone decided to send the two of them alone to meet us outside town?

Or can we simply say it's just pre-dawn now?

Loven is with lannet.

========
I have to ask. Do we use the PF version of spell resistance? the one that also works against helpful spells?

Excellent! For some reason I'd thought you were still at the shrine with Kev and Jerrid...

Well, if he try to scape leoven can not do much about it ^^

Summon scary monsters :)

K I'm back. Let me take a look at who went where since the rooster crowed so to speak.

K I'm back. Let me take a look at who went where since the rooster crowed so to speak.

If the rooster crowed.... What did the fox say?

*Kevezyat and Leoven wake first and visit the temple and shrines.
*Kev stays at temple, Leo returns to the Inn.
*Damien rises and wakes the others, all come downstairs for breakfast.
*Sam talks to Lannet and convinces Damien and Janna to get tents.
*Damien suggests splitting the party so Lannet can be out of town before his pursuers get up and moving.
*Jerrid leaves and goes to temple.
*Janna, Damien and Astor volunteer to stay behind for tents.
*Damien and Janna visit the central marketplace waiting for it to open.
*Leo, Sam and Lannet talk about the best route out of town.
*Jerrid steals the crucible.
*Damien and Janna swing by the temple while they wait for market to open.
*Astor comes to the temple on time to hear Damien urging everyone to get going.
*Jerrid reveals his theft. Shandril asks Kevezyat to restrain him. Kev says no.
*Vhillish finds a stable and picks out a mule.

That leaves everyone at the temple except Sam and Leo who are with Lannet at the Inn.

The last post from Janna seems to progress the timeline to after the market opens with the whole group together and equipped in a sort of cut-scene which is mostly fine with me but doesn't it throw a wrench in the proposed plan of splitting up hours before the market opens?

I did get a little lost in the timeline myself. If it helps just assume that post will occur later. that is fine.

Ok cool it looks like you did say "eventually" so it's kind of a future tense thing.

I have to ask. Do we use the PF version of spell resistance? the one that also works against helpful spells?

I really need an answer for this.
