5E Adventure's in Midgard – North (Reaver's Spring)

Game Master Tareth

Just want to give a quick kudos to the DM. Excellent posts, vivid imagery good amount of detail good pacing. Bang up job.

Also Aterro gets a laugh out of me pretty much daily.

Agreed, very happy to have stumbled across Tareth on these boards! Clever, rational, and enjoyably descriptive as both a player and DM.

Thanks all! Glad you are all enjoying the game and kudos and thanks right back to everyone for all the great posts and interactions.

Yup. Great job to all! This is a highly enjoyable game and group.

I'm really enjoying this game, too. Wish I had the more time for interaction.

I'm traveling again on business next week. Any posts will be random and uncomplicated. Please bot me as necessary.

cheers

I have another long train ride into the unknown. Boarding at 12:30 am Monday 4th feb Kolkata time which is basically 15 hours from the time of this post.

The latest I'll have connectivity again is the 7th, likely sooner.

Bot away.

Fin wants to stay dry and check Zove. His attitude is let's just leave these things outside.

Someone made me a wifi hotspot on the train

Going to give Fin a little more time to act in the upstairs room, but if we don't hear anything later today, then I'll move forward by botting. In the meantime, anyone else in the party can attempt to help or resolve the situation peaceably....

This seems like Zove and Vrindel's wheelhouse, so I'm standing patiently and waiting for them to handle it.

Also, Brother Aterro has been called, by some, as "not necessarily a catalyst for peaceable solutions".

I don't where they'd get that. ^_^

I completely agree with you. I think 'necessarily' needs to be removed... ;)

Oh hey guys I'm still depending on chance encounters with friendly Indian people who are inclined to make me a temporary hotspot with their phone, so don't be shy to bot me.

I have hotspot now so I'll read up and post.

Sorry!

Few questions
1. When do we expect the caravan to arrive?
2. Can they cross the bridge as is, or does it need more work?
3. What’s enexplored in the mill?
4. What’s closer to the mill: the stockade, town or shack?
5. Was Ibrox able to collect his one crossbow bolt, or should we not pay attention to ammunition once it’s bought, or under extraordinary circumstances?

Cheers

I'm still struggling to stay connected to wifi but following along and posting when I can.

Ibrox here's answers to your questions:

1. Sometime during this same day. The party ran ahead, but Bentknee should arrive today or the following at the latest.

2. The party left warnings, but currently the wagons cannot cross the bridge.

3. You don't really know, but no one has been down to the south end of the mill.

4. The remains of the town are inside the stockade. It is back down the valley along the road. The shack is a little ways further west near the beach. The town is closer to the mill.

5. Even Usable / Odd Broken: 1d6 ⇒ 1 Odd - The bolt was lost or broken. While we are in the wilds and away from the wagons, ammunition should be tracked.

Sorry for the crappy posts guys it's all I can do to get to wifi and read up on the posts so I don't lose the plot and type up something short while I have a connection.

I'll be back to normal fairly soon.

Good fight so far.

About to board a train into the unknown. Hopefully be on an international flight by sun and then no more disruptions.

Bot me as needed. I'll be o. The lockout for wifi hotspot

Have a safe trip!

Leaving tonight for another week long business trip with limited, random access to post. Please bot me when necessary.

cheers

Back in USA. Catching up in what I misssed now, pretty jetlagged tho!

Glad that all went well!

Rolling for HP? If so...

1d8 ⇒ 8 HP

Nice!

HP roll: 1d6 ⇒ 1

hp roll!: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Zove: Usually in my regular group we reroll a 1 for HP increases. If everyone else is okay with that, then you can go ahead and reroll.

Hp: 1d8 ⇒ 6

I think reroll 1's is cool rule.

I'm very jetlagged

HP: 1d10 ⇒ 3

Done levelling.

Can we take average and not roll?

HP reroll: 1d6 ⇒ 5

edit: Spells from Heroes are allowed? I didn't really look through them first time around.

Ibrox: Yes, you can take average HP if you like.
Zove: Yes, spells from the Midgard Heroes Handbook are allowed.

I'll level up and post tonight

Sounds good. Will pause things today so people can finish leveling. Feel free to investigate further and RP if you like.

If possible I'd like to keep unseen servant going most of the time unless there's some reason I can't spend the 10 minutes for ritual cast.

I'm still catching up international jet lag is very disorienting :)

At least I can edit my profile finally.

Ok so it looks like my Vampire Slayer archetype from MHH doesn't effect anything until level 3.

So I should be able to just level up normally inside dndbeyond.

I have a question, and I admit that this is borne out through too many editions of too many games, and a few too many house-rules thrown in.

How are we handling leveling? Some options:

1) Video game: At the moment of experience, we all are bathed in a white light, not only gaining the new abilities, but also fully heal and gain all spells.

2) New on top of old: At the moment of leveling, we get the capabilities, but are not fully healed, and must take care of the damage normally.

3) New Morning: We don't get the new level until we've had a Long Rest, thus we might go to sleep hurt, but we wake up at greater ability.

Page 15 of the PHB gives no data, so I just wanted to be sure.

Let's just go with number one for now. Since this is PbP and it is already a slow enough format, I don't think there's any need to slow things down just for leveling purposes. If folks disagree, please feel free to say so as I really don't have strong feelings either way.

Oh good question. I'm used to number two but cool with whatever

I level when the DM says. Ibrox is leveled.

Quick FYI all, I'll be doing a little work travel tomorrow afternoon to Thursday. Might be a little less responsive, especially Wednesday.

Sorry for reading spoiler, but 'man-nest' is definitely going to work itself into my regular vocabulary in various ways.

Zove: Ha! Have fun with it I say.

All: I'm back from my trip, but won't get to post until tomorrow morning. It looks like everyone is ready to follow the trail to the cliffs.

Please note that I'm travelling until about Tuesday, with very little and unreliable access to Internet. Please bot me as needed.

Hey

I’ve been on a business trip since Monday. Combat posts are hard. Please bot me. I think ibrox’s tactics Are well known.

Thanks

I cant figure out what is that word CoUS in Aterro's post?

Its a silly Princess of the Bride reference. There, they encounter rodents of unusual size (RoUS) despite their existence being unlikely.

RoUS

*hee* And that is, of course, the root of the joke: That no sooner then their existence is COMPLETELY DOUBTED...they show up. =)

That's deep!

500 posts, pretty healthy game.

Ya, Tareth is just a monster DM. You people have no idea how lucky you are to have gotten in on this. =)
