-2 HP. This is not good. :3
Time to be orc-y as all get-out.
Oh yeah, end this now!
waiting to see what Tomag does before I act.
I'm back. Not feeling too great (it's emotional not physical) so I apologize if I mess up the RP of my characters.

I hope you feel better soon!
So I learned today that elves DO sleep in pathfinder. Everything I know is wrong. My elf super powers....gone...
So if I am correct it will take another day (after today) to fully explore this hex, but we have a crazy amount of food that will start rotting if we don't use/ preserve it quickly. I am guessing that we don't have the tools/ preservatives with us exploring to do it on site.
I believe we should take this huge stock back to Newspring as soon as we can transport it.
Agreed. Let's get this boar back and then scout the hex.
Kal'tos, you or Tomag can prepare Purify Food and Drink tomorrow morning and solve the spoilage problem. I remember Nerk saying he hasn't worried about spoilage too much because there is always someone around who can cast it.
Also Istiel wants to bring the head back and show the hobgoblins we mean business. Trophy time. How much does it weigh?
Cueta I'm surprised you don't want to bring some piglets back to start an animal pen? Edit: Nevermind lol.

I wasn't really worried about spoilage if we bring it back now, just checking that we couldn't preserve it and finish scouting.
Also the party has a dwarf, as long as the weight isn't insane I can carry it with no issues.
Also Kal'Tos has rope if we need it to either transport food or a few piglets.
Rather than spoilage, I'm more worried that if we run off to finish the hexploration, some scavenger will come along and eat our food. Or will come back to it and have to fight off a pack of dire hyenas.

:)
EDIT: I also have rope. I didn't bring my carpentry tools though. That would make making a sled much easier.
I actually can't cast Purify Food and Drink. One of the big downsides of being a spontaneous spellcaster: I have a tiiiiiiiny amount of spells.
Kal'Tos can easily cast it starting tomorrow until we get back.
Tomag will be willing to take off his armor to help shlep everything back to Newspring. He's even stronger than Kal'Tos though (up to 1515lbs. of push/drag!) so it should be alright.
Jeez Louise. Two rockstars pulling a half-ton boar/sled through the woods with said sled made from the creature's own skin and tendons? Cueta thought she had seen everything when our dwarves hoisted that boat up the cliff.
Istiel, there's probably plenty of room on the boar/sled (sloar?) for you and I to ride the sled back to Newspring, while our pack mules Extremely Valued Companions haul us home. Mush, mush, Extremely Valued Companions! ;)
With ant haul I think we can even do it at movement 30 as the sled would be a light load. Since I can cast ant haul for a total of 8 hours we can move at that speed for a full day with only one person pulling.
If nothing else, Tomag is good at physical labor! :D
Wow. I'm impressed, and honestly tempted to take up Cueta's idea. :p
Excellent work extremely valued companions! We'll see what Nerk rules on the matter but you definitely make an amazing case.
Cueta, Istiel, and Tomag might have to spend all their time on the way back throwing meat back on to the travois because Kal'tos is moving so fast cutlets keep flying off.
So we're going to butcher the hog today/make the travois, move all the meat/travois back to the cave, spend the night, then return to Newspring with our delicious prize the next day?
I have the strange feeling we are going to attract some wildlife... which will be killed and thrown on the travois.
So, this is not a practical idea, but should we have a feast? I feel like we should have a feast. A celebration of one month in the New World, a feast of giving thanks, a morale boost, something. One full ration of food for everyone...

Yeeesssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!
A self-perpetuating cycle, until everyone gets buzzard stew, or with enough castings of purify food and drink, we can build our town out of meat! Take that Lady Gaga!
A shot of 500 food into our system would probably let us actually go off half rations, at least for a little while (75% rations?).

Excellent idea, though I feel like it would only be a proper feast if we have some of that hobgoblin moonshine. Nothing like a feast where at least one person will probably go blind from drinking the alcohol.
We should absolutely have a feast. Elves like to find something to celebrate/appreciate every day, Istiel certainly thinks this is a massive qualifier. One full food for everyone when we get back! And a party, though the lack of alcohol is regrettable.
I can see it now, the boar's head propped up in the middle of Newspring on Cueta's pike, while everyone feasts on delicious seared boar...
I am absolutely down with this plan.
Reminder: You have another day of exploration to fully explore the hex.
And, not because of strength, but terrain, I think the sled won't work at full (30') speed. Have you ever tried dragging a dead body injured friend through the woods off-trail without bouncing them around enough to loose a few choice cuts?
I don't think my friends have choice cuts to loose, but I see your point, boss. ;)

I had the feeling this would be the case. Still 20' speed back with all of this meat is generous, I'll take it personally.
Once we take this meat back and have our feast, we can go back out to fully explore the hex plus another hex.
20' move=12 hours travel time back to Newspring. Since the pig tracks were found pretty much first thing in the morning, and the tracking was brief, I'd say it's pretty early still. Making a travois and butchering will take some time, of course, so you'll be able to get on the road noonish. Back to Newspring by midnight.
Sounds fair to me! Let's do it.
Agreed! Even Ingwe will be happy to see Cueta this evening, I think!
That works for me.
We might even be able to bring Vallen this time, and let Sharpeyes try her hand at being a solo smith? Maybe? ;)
Haha good luck with that! He's essentially attached to his forge by umbilical cord now. Plus after all the glaives get done he'll probably be making equipment for everyone.
Tomag needs like... six greataxes. Because you can't ever have enough greataxes.
But in all seriousness, we's gonna party~!
Yuuuuuup here come the (maybe) corrupted wolves. I hope they're ready to GET THROWN ON THE TRAVOIS.
Before combat starts, Tomag and Cueta could use any healing spells you have left.
New strategy. Travel around with travois full of meat, kill all the wildlife that come for it, throw it on the travois until Kal'tos can't drag anymore. Return to Newspring, repeat.

Your statement is incorrect, it should read, until Kal'Tos and Tomag combined can't drag anymore.
WE ARE GOING TO
*clap*
PUMP YOU UP
I really wish we had Gair and his axe of one hit kills right now.
Great Cleave + wolves = a lot of dead wolves
WE ARE GOING TO
*clap*
PUMP YOU UP
"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto an Austrian half-orc."
Kal'Tos needs a wolf pelt cloak, obviously with the part from a head as hood.
Hassan just smirks and pulls his bear armor closer around him.
I'm still glad Istiel isn't wearing bear butt armor. I'm thankful for the little things about my equipment.
Should we pull all the foragers back for a day for the feast? Seems unfair to have them out and about while we're partying.
Instead of a feast tonight, we could just do one feast in five days time, allowing us time to finish exploring our last hex, get the word to the foragers to make it back to Newspring on Desnus 5, and perhaps allow the foragers to start foraging Newspring hex on their way out to hit the new one after the feast? Although I imagine that our foraging penalty is at -12 or so still...
How many days has it been since the foragers set out?
We also need to make sure we done burn through all 500+ food on one massive party.
They left on day 23, and didn't forage anything that day as they were in transit. So one week. Hefty penalty still, I imagine.
-14 in Newspring, but +1/day as the area recovers
-6 where they are
in 5 days, Newspring is -9 and they're at -11.
Let's bring them back in 5 days then, for the feast. The next day they begin foraging the next hex over.
