The Fifth Mendevian Crusade: Reclaim the Worldwound

Game Master Brian Minhinnick

Rosa has a kind of plan to make some cash that may or may not have legs, Torin whats your take on it. Stay for Air ship building, head out do any thing really

Okay, so in the interest of moving things forward. Brensen gives you guys the gold, Viorel+Rosa give me a roll for finding the hellknight commander in the city. Nathaniel, we can handwave the airship roleplay and assume you found an engineer who quotes you the figures we talked about previously. Anyone who needs to buy stuff, do it now. Then decide how long you're staying in town. We'll say it's the second day now.

1d20 ⇒ 13
+8 Intimidate
+7 Knowledge (Religion)
+4 Perception

Diplomancy(gather information)1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

Well I am sure I can figure better use for that money than just carry it along. But what depends on what is for sale(Or commission possibilities) in the keep.

I do not have strong preference on the how long to stay thing, that said I would say that just wait untill the air thingy is ready.

How much cash do we have to spend after some of it going to pay for the harness thing?

Okay, Viorel finds the paralictor by asking around for 1d4 ⇒ 1 hours. He seems amenable to your offer. He says that if you can manage to take the keep and hold it for them, that you will be welcome there and rewarded to boot. If you attempt to take the keep for yourselves you will have made an enemy of the Order of the Nail.

Barek, the flying machine was fairly cheap, 3000some gold if memory serves. Nathaniel was asking for donations, but it's up to you whether you chip in. There is 36500 GP from the trophies, plus 7750 for the various suits of plate mail. That's 44,250, divided by six gives 7,375 Gold each.

Rosa will put up Her and any short fall GM, 3000/5=600each if your in, I mayself think is a grand bit of kit, and well done Nath for comming up with the idea. Rosa will 1st thank Viorel for helping her getting the locals to talk, she not very good at that at all. She will then let Viorel work out just how much the will pay the Order of the Nail, to talk and hold the keep until they get a detachment to them. Rosa will need the party to agree to hand the keep over once its been taken, she of couse would like to be, its not really her call alone to make, nor in fact any of this, its just a plane. We could try and find another place to take, buy her thinking is withe the Order of the Nail on there side it could help them go deeper into the bad lands.

"Thank you Viorel, with out your help I could have not done that"

Barak will chip in his share. What sort of things are available to buy in this place? Might be time to pick up a ring of sustenance, maybe a magic bow.

You can buy anything you have the gold for.

Chipping on the flying thing. And here is what Viorel buys.
Money before 473.80
Share of the loot 7,375

Eyes of the Eagle 2500gp
Ring of Sustenance 2500gp
Spyglass 1000gp
Alchemist's fire x4 80gp
Share of Nathaniel flying thing 500gp
= 7,405
7,848.80-7,405= 843.80

I'll pitch in for the doodad as well. Everyone who doesn't have one should pick up a ring of sustenance, it'll lower our down time considerably.

I'll pick up some boots of striding and springing (5500gp) and a wand of endure elements (750gp) and the share the airborne gizmo (500gp) so 7375-6750, leaves me with 625gp walking around money.

I'll knock together a shopping list.

7750-7150-500=100gp+88gp=188gp left

"if we can take and hold the Fort until the hell Knight come, I have been told that we will be paid a considerable fee. The way it stands now they have no one to take and the cost of outfitting a second expedition out with the chance of it to being lost it very high, if we get just 50% of that we will gave a good bit of Jink, of we can fly there and talk it then we should have a good chance of doing this. Its risky I will no lie but the prize my be worth it."

So looks like everyone's done shopping. How long are we staying in town. The shopping and going to talk with the Hellknights took up the second day. We'll say it's the morning of the third day back in town. If you stay to wait for the machine it will be 13 more days.

Although I must warn you all, if that's your decision I may have to pause this game for a while to avoid destroying the shared timeline between the two groups. Two weeks is a lot of time for them to alter what you might find out in the wastes. They already came across some of your handiwork.

Im for heading out and doing a sweep again, or even heading to the fort if its not to far, and do a recon.

You guys were almost to the fort when you found the barn with the Mohrg. It's in the next hex over. Also keep in mind your rings of sustenance take a week to kick in. Once that time is past you'll only need to rest for two hours a night. Though traveling in the mists would be slow.

Well Cinderfang is still missing. Also with that info I would lean on let's go. I noticed little problem with the plan about buying a scroll of teleport. We would need CL 27 scroll to move us all. Since 1 medium/3CL+caster and we have two large ones that counts as double so 9x3=27. Luckily Torin has travel domain which means we have tree casters so we can do with 3 scrolls with 3375gp or 562.5 gp per head. Because of that, the location of the keep and travel times I would say it's not really worth it because if we can get word back to the knights imidietly. We most likely are back before the flying apparatus is finished.

Viorel I see your points, all sounds good to me, if the party is down one, should we look to higher another? or head out as is? as there is another group 1 or 2? I forget we need to keep up doing stuff, I would say, but its a party call,

Oh my bad, was referring to the everyone done with shopping, with the Cinderfang comment.

Lemme see about the Cinderfang situation. If he's gone there's a cleric of Gorum that really wants to play here. He failed to make it into the other group.

Sorry guys! Been out for the holiday! I'll post something this evening when I'm back at my computer! My apogies for dropping off the map! Oh, and Cunderfang is cool chipping in 500gp for the flying machine.

Cinderfang goes about his business the next day, quickly gathers his necessary supplies and then assists the group in their own preparations. He quickly gets restless in the town, frequently asking when the group is ready to leave.

Cinderfang is definitely a fan of getting back on the road.

Purchases:
6 gp before
+7375 gp = 7381 gp

Ring of Sustenance 2500 (for him)
Ring of sustenance 2500 (for Sun-Eater)
Scroll of Scrying 700
Flying Machine contribution 500
Ioun Torch 75
Rations 10 days 1

1106 gp remaining

Well it looks like we are heading out on the 3ed day of ever one want thats,

Ya or any guys.

Yay!

Okay, so heading out on day three. Plotting a course directly for the Fort?

I would say go the same route we came to the keep and then the shortest route. Assuming success then sending to the knights, wait for them to get their asses there, give the fort to them. After that see what the situation is.
So Just to clarify SW-NW-SW hex wise.

got my vote sounds like a good plan Viorel

If every ones ok can we move back to the other thread GM and get going as Viorel said.

Game play once we are foo thread

Good plan. Allons-y!

Alright, making a post in gameplay. Sorry for the delay.
