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

Game Master Tareth

Will get to Gunnar's casting on the carpet tonight after I get back home.

12.18.21 - 2.10.23
RIP Nasty Rug. :(

we now need a cart

Don't worry, Arianna knows a shortcut! :P

Well I know Ingryd would love to have a cart and horse for looting and supplies as well as maybe a few underlings. As well as maybe a home base that we can build off of

You all do have a wagon. Given plenty of helpers and tools at the manor, it wouldn't take long to remove the cage from the gnome's wagon. As for a horse, you can trade the ox for a draft horse or pair of mules if you wish.

We don't have to RP it all out (unless someone really wants to) but it will take someone making an INT(Wagons, Carts, Blacksmith, or Carpenter) Check to see how long it takes to make any modifications to the wagon if you wish to do so. Minimum is one day to modify the wagon and trade for new stock.

Gunnar has proficiency in land vehicles as well as in Smithing (along with the appropriate tools). If someone wants to help him, advantage would be even better...

Do we have to have proficiency to help? I think RAW we do.

Do we have to have proficiency to help? I think RAW we do.

Generally yes. But in this case since it is really more about having more hands and bodies to do the heavier work, then no proficiency is needed to help.

Okay, Arianna would pitch in. She'd also do what she could to make it easier for the wagon to travel the Fey Roads.

INgyrd could help too with muscle

Luthael would also help improve the set of wheels trying to hide his disappointment at the speed at which they will travel south.

Sorry team. I'm leaving on a business trip again Monday morning returning Wednesday night. And I celebrate the Superbowl.

I may not be able to post. Please bot me as necessary.

cheers

Gunnar go ahead and make the roll with Advantage and your PB. Also be sure to say what you are modifying. ie. Just removing the cage or are you adding a cloth cover to the wagon or turning into into something a bit more solid like a gypsy wagon.

Does anyone have Cooks Utensils? Or do we need to train with them?

DM, there is a line in the spell text for Find Steed that says 'Your GM might allow other animals to be summoned as steeds.' Mastiff and pony are the defaults that work for halfling riders. I was thinking leopard, just since pony is boring and mastiff I recently used a bunch with Karley. Panther stats are probably the closest or fine just using pony or mastiff stats with a reskin. What do you think?

Its also a paladin-only spell, which makes it interesting RP wise. He's found some loophole to cast this prestigious holy magic. Scram's goddess is imprisoned, and he is certainly no paladin. I was thinking it might have an astral/Ginnungagap flavor.

Or maybe you'd let me get a little kooky with a Roving Mauler?

Given the mess that Scram's mind seems to be, the Roving Mauler fits.

I'm half surprised there wasn't a Battletech/Mechwarrior reference in Aterro's suggestions.

Needless to say, I torn between breaking the 4th wall a bit and having Arianna's previous incarnation bleed through or just having her be really confused because she only understood about half of the words.

OMG my -first- suggestion was going to be "MechWarriors" (as I have used in other times in other clubs) but I threw it out as not being Creative enough an Anachronism for our Society.

Oh! Ha! Actually I did work it in to my very first suggestion....

Oh, my bad. I thought was a 40k reference. (Stoopid spehss mah'reens and their rabidly rabbit-like proliferation.)

I think we'll skip the Roving Mauler for now. Besides, I don't think anyone can actually ride one of those things. ;)

But sure, I'll let you go with panther. That could actually fit with the Mnemosyne angle because one of her masks is Yemaja down in the Southlands. Which is odd...as I actually try to reconcile what is in the recent 5E Southlands book with the Midgard Worldbook the story and situation of Mnemosyne, Nethus, Seggotan, and Yemaja is very contradictory. But I guess no one can know the gods.

So while you've found a way to cast the spell without the official sanction of a god/goddess that a paladin would have, your steed will still hold itself true to your goddess (who oddly is imprisoned, but not imprisoned) and her tenets.

Haven't read the Southlands book, sounds like I should.

If you already own it, then the section on Yemaja has a little bit of info. If you don't own it, I can get you the relevant pages.

Sure, that would be awesome.

It's not much, but here it is...

Southlands - Yemeja Description

I'm not really sure how the RP chain lead to us losing a major magic item, but I assume that the same logic would let us reverse engineer us getting it back.

I'd consider it a gain if we traded a flying thing for a flying thing with a brewing setup. :)

Question can I use my Maul to burn away grass? like strike the grass so I can walk safely to Scram

Make an INT check vs DC10.

Intelligence: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Hey lookie there I got a good roll

a few hand shaped bruised where Aterro's 'firm' grip went a little overboard

@Attero that was meant to imply you grabbed Scram and delivered him elsewhere. I rite nice.

Oh? Oh. Oh! Ha!

yeah I didn't get that at all.... >.>

Well consider yourself transported then!

Sling: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Oh, wups, what was I thinking? Not that it likely matters but should have been +7 for 10, or 12 if the stones are +2 to hit.

Huzzah Counterspell :D

Anyone got a Turn Undead?

Group X

The contract for ganking Radovan's magic items was for a legal entity called the Narg Nasty 6. If we abandon that name, guess what? You will be carrying stolen goods. That means:

★ Gunnar will dishonor his dwarven clan.
★ Aterro will instantly become a fallen paladin.
★ Invictusol will hear a sharp *tsk* from Khors.
★ (Arianna and Ingryd will suffer no ill effects, as their names weren't on included in the list and joined later.)
★ Radovan's transdimensional lawyers will be right on our asses.
★ Scram will be sad we aren't the Narg Nasty 6 anymore.
★ mishima, the player, will be sad we aren't the Narg Nasty 6 anymore.
★ Mishima, the dead Japanese author, will be sad we aren't the Narg Nasty 6 anymore.
★ Your magic items will technically belong to Scramsax, the only remaining member of Narg Nasty 6.

So in short, imo probably best to keep NN6. ;D

So I took no damage...cool though a waste of a twenty

Same.

and fine! Scram wins through legalities. We're the Narg Nasty Six. :P

I think Kalisuel's name is still on that contract though.

Huzzah Counterspell :D

Anyone got a Turn Undead?

Luthael? Now, it's confirmed undead that's next round

cheers

I'll post Luthael after I see how Ingryd and Attero fair in the death throes.

Arianna has Scramsax

With Attero's aura, it seems like everyone survived well that 71 damage. And with the attacks, I think the ghoul is toast.

Luthael has prayer of healing to heal everyone.

Thanks Arianne

Strength loss will heal via lesser Restoration does rest do it too?

If so its indicated in the monster stat block with the ability. Not sure if this was a Tareth Custom or Kobold Press creation. I'll peek in the Midgard MMs.

Lessor Restoration or a short or long rest will recover the STR loss.

Thanks Tareth for the refresher

I didn't find the bone tornado, but I did find something called a 'ghoulsteed'. Basically a ghoul with a chair on its back that you ride. Not kidding.

Would this be a promotion or demotion for Yumyum?

It was his first job at 15. Sure, it didn't score him any ghoul-chicks, but it taught him what hard work was all about. He saved up 3 summers worth of coin to buy his first mandolin, thus beginning his adventuring life as a man-eating bard.

I think you got YumYum mixed up with his cousin NomNom. :D

I tried to make my own Yum Yum Sauce once. Didn't end well.

Did we get a short rest?
