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

Game Master Tareth

I think you all sold off some of the stuff from Radovan's already.

I'll give everyone until tomorrow to chime in on what they want to trade and for what. Then we can start to move things along. Sounds like we are okay heading south to try and gather the items to destroy the Evil Sword of Saint Slaying. If that's changed let me know.

Musical Fruit: 3d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 4) = 9

I think I have used 4 of the 9...(campfire, shriekers, statue, treant). I'd like to keep the rest.

I'd like to keep the pigments.

For a traded rare or uncommon (wow super tough choice) I think I'll ultimately go with Ring of Spell Storing. I could get a familiar to solve my darkvision scouting problem then have a new assortment of creative utility spells on hand every day for fun.

I know Gunnar would like to keep the Horn of Valhalla and trade in some magic items for Mithral Half Plate +1. He would be okay trading in the eldritch power staff and the repaired circlet, plus maybe one of those potions if we haven’t sold it already. He would sell his current breastplate (at half price for 200 gp) and use most of his share of coinage to buy scroll scribing components.

I’m on a biz trip until tomorrow night. The only magic item I would like is to upgrade his current magic holy amulet to a full amulet of the devout. Anything else he see as a blessing from Khors. Cheers

Any hope to upgrade his amulet?

Magic breastplate and/or magic shield.

A light-themed magic dagger

... and these are my favorite things...

Gunnar has a nonmagical breastplate you can have.

I could use a Cloak of protection, giving away the little weapon dangle and I will forsake the fishing pole and other magical items for such a thing.

+1 Ac an Saves hell yeah

@Gunnar and Invictusol

Times like these when we have time in between long rests, I'd love to charge up the Ring of Spell Storing. You have to spend a slot, but then I can cast the spell with your statistics. For example, I could cast Fireball from the ring with the same DC and dice Jubal would. But in general, if you have these prepared and don't use them before we rest...you can stash them in Scram's ring (like leftovers). Spells up to and including 5th can be stored, with a capacity of 5 levels worth of spells (so a single 5th, or 5 1st, etc)

Wizard: find familiar, darkvision (if we ever come across these), shield, feather fall
Cleric: any 1st level heal, hold person

Also apologies was crunched for time tonight but will gameplay post tomorrow.

@Scramsax Charge away. Whatever you need to load it up from Luthael

cheers

Same from Gunnar. You may want a Misty Step as well…

Need a good One-handed weapon.

Gonna buy a dagger, maybe 3 more hand/throwing axes and a Heavy Crossbow with bolts.

Ingryd: If you're just buying mundane items, you've plenty of coin to do so and anything in the PHB is available in Courlandia.

Same goes for anyone else you would like to replenish any non-magical supplies. It is expected to be a minimum of a three week journey to your destination.

@Tareth Thank you for the scene and amulet.

Are Winged Boots Uncommon for you? If those are too much, how about Helm of Comprehend Languages?

I've no interest any of the random magic items, so don't know which ones to trade away either.

cheers

As I was updating my inventory sheet, I noticed/remembered the diamond we found. I didn't have that in the tally, and we should probably just keep it as is for important spells anyways.

@Tareth Thank you for the scene and amulet.

Both are listed as Uncommon in the DMG, so that's what we will go with. Note that the Boots require attunement.

Common, first level scrolls, so Find Familiar, are available for purchase. No more than 2 of any one scroll.

Same goes for potions if you'd like to purchase common potions.

Leomunds Tiny Hut is uncommon, you could find 1 available for purchase.

EDIT: All of this would be available in Courlandia, not Nargenstal.

Woot! Luthael can fly!

I'll assume the price of 75 gp for 1st level scroll, 150 gp for 2nd level scroll. These are from the 'shared campaign' rules of Xanathar's which are used for Adventurer's League and such.

Buying Find Familiar and Darkvision for 235 gp (extra 10 gp for the material cost of find familiar).

I will also pay for the cost of Gunnar to scribe them into his spellbook. 150 gp

The best I could find for creating spell scrolls in DND is here, which seems reasonable for cantrips and level 1 spells, but quickly gets crazy expensive.

Gunnar is happy to scribe whatever Scramsax is willing to purchase, also freely casting them into the ring as he needs.

Thanks Gunnar, and yeah...the Order of Scribes 10th level ability is very nice compared to that.

you can create one magic scroll by touching your Wizardly Quill to a blank piece of paper or parchment

They also get to half those time and gold requirements for doing it the normal way.

Find Familiar and Darkvision are the ones Scramsax wanted from the discussion here, so Gunna will scribe those two into his spellbook. I don’t think we explicitly established a price for the Tiny Hut or if it was bought…

Cost of Purchasing of Scrolls

First Level=100gp
Second Level=200gp
Third Level=400gp

You have plenty of cash, gems, jewelry on hand so purchase of the Hut spell should not be a problem.

Scrolls, scribe cost, and tools purchases (-585gp).

And man, forgot how awesome Midgard gnomes are.

Sorry for the posting delay. Been a busy couple of days at work. I should be able to get things rolling later this afternoon.

Its cool I am doing deep cleaning this week

How many gnomes can be captured in a Fireball? Especially, the concentrating one.

It's 2 per wagon. Can't really get more than that at this point given the length of wagons and about 10 feet of space in between each one. Plus whatever might be in the cages which are right behind where the gnomes are sitting.

Ingryd has her bees doing distraction duty on the lead wagons,

and 8+6+8+14=36 damage...cause thanks rage ;)

Are the Gnomes fleeing by foot? Or are they moving via carts?

By foot.

I will try to do a better job of stating what Gunnar's reaction will likely be when I post for his turn. I realized I didn't do that after his last lightning bolt turn and he could have counterspelled the fireball, but I don't want to cause too much ret-con, so let's roll with it as it has happened. He only has one high level slot left anyway, so he can be prepared if there is another fireball headed their way...

Hi team

Heads up. I've a biz trip leaving early Monday morning and returning late Friday with no time to post during the trip.

cheers

Have a good trip Luthael.

I'm also on the road today, so might not get a post up until tomorrow morning.

And if anyone is interested in trying out a Powered by the Apocalypse game, this game I'm in is recruiting. It basically a Battlestar Galactica setup with alien fungi instead of robots. PbtA is a more narrative based system with a simple 2d6 mechanic, so it's a pretty easy system to pick up. If anyone is curious and wants to take a closer look at the rules, PM me and I'll get you a link.

Gunnar: Scrams' pointing out the enemy totally gives you enough info to fire away.

Thanks for the update--I'll let the previous rolls from Gunnar ride since it ended up being more of a readied action unless you want me to reroll...

Gunnar: We can use the previous rolls. Will get it all posted tomorrow.

Does Scram kill him before I get a chance to swing? If so Ingryd will try to take control via Animal handling to guide the Oxen from a collision in that round.

If not I can do something and then try to control the Oxen.

Ingryd: Scram did kill the gnome prior to your attack. But remember the two of you ran after the gnome, so you are currently a double move away from the wagon. So you could get there with your first round action and then attempt to disconnect the animals on the second.

That works, I was hoping for what the distance was.

Is the hitch to the wagon just a rope connection that could be severed?

Distance is 55'.

Scram: The actual harnesses are leather (you are not really certain of what kind, it looks a bit 'off' for regular animal hide) but the tongue is wooden.

Ingryd: I went ahead and applied your Athletics proficiency to your original STR check since it could see it being applicable.

Just to clarify for Ingryd's question, we are nowhere near our destination? Basically we have just reached the north edge of the Rothenian Plain and still must cross the entire thing?

Correct. You are not close to your destination in the Despotate yet. You are basically about 50 miles south of Lingenau (where you stayed with Luthael's parents) and 300 miles south of Nargenstal. You are about a thousand miles from Monk's Harbor in the Ruby Despotate where the black void sands might be found.

Interactive Map of Midgard

So send them to Lingenau

Hiya folks. How have ya been? Happy to see the game's still going strong!

Hey all, just a heads up that Kalisuel's player is looking to jump back in, but probably with a new character. Since we've got a couple of open spots, I'm all for it.

Will hold things here for a day or two so he can figure out a character and whether to be a prisoner or jump in some other way.

Still plenty of RP opportunity to figure out what you want to do for/with the prisoners and Gunnar's discovery about a possible connection between the gnomes and those blasted ghouls and their empire. ;)

Sounds good!

Yep, I'm narrowing things down, but still a little undecided at the moment. Will post more as I nail things down.

Also, DM, I sent you message.

Alright, name picked and concept decided on. Now I just got to figure out how to make this bard not so much like the other bard.

Really, I should be asleep, but I was too excited. Arianna's ready to go once the GM has a chance to look over her stats.

If all's good, then just tell me when to jump in. :)
