Do you mean now, or for next month's kingdom turn?

And are we ready to set out for Urgir? Bashuk's ready!

I meant in general, but earliest on next turn.

I think we're good to go. Unless we wish to "come bearing gifts" to both Valorforge and Urgir... I mean, shouldn't show up empty handed.

Would these options have been offered to/for the original set of human refugees, the displaced Ustalavic folk?

I'd like us to be fair.

We may want to revisit fortifications.

Yes, these same options would have also been proposed for them.

Confirming doing this isn't a snub at/to the humans?

The people from Clover's Crossing had already been invited back, with Dr. Evets sent north to Tamrivena to spread word that it was safe for the displaced residents to return.

I want to know where the orcs are primarily settled (Ravengro, Clover's Crossing, outlying farmsteads, etc.) in case it relates to random events rolled up during future kingdom turns.

We can just handwave the whole matter, though, if there's concern that it will slow the game down or become otherwise problematic.


Female Human Sw/Ro/Su 1/2/3 HP 47/47 AC 18 | T 12 | FF 16 | CMD 17 | F +1 | R +8 | W +6 | Init +2 | Per +8

My idea was to let them integrate.

I'd think mostly Ravengro & Clover's Crossing, as they are the most densely (such as it is) populated.

With a few scattered living/working on farmsteads.

My only concerned is that they are treated equally and well.

Don't want to create an Orc ghetto, is all.

OOC, no concern.

I have a little bit of concern that Clover's Crossing may not be entirely safe yet, but expanding the town downwards to include belowground areas might play to the orc settlers' strengths.

It's not like we're using them as fodder, they'd be integrated with the existing populace. IF it's not safe it's generally unsafe/frontier (or we'd be evacuating).

Ditto on Nadiya's "good idea," agreed.

A quick note, I'm around as normal through Wednesday this week, but we're off to see family on Thursday and won't be back until Tuesday 12/26. My posting rate will be reduced during that time.

Going to be offline or slow from Friday through about 12/28 (not to mention work is in a crunch right before I take time off). Happy holidays to all; even if you do not celebrate I hope the growing light after solstice gives you hope.

Hey everyone,

Still alive! I've been struggling with a major depressive phase coupled with some actually bad stuff going on IRL. I struggle with whether to come back or just drop out (semi-)gracefully, and I would like to continue if it's all right with y'all. I know it's been frustrating with how much trouble I've had lately.


Female Human Sw/Ro/Su 1/2/3 HP 47/47 AC 18 | T 12 | FF 16 | CMD 17 | F +1 | R +8 | W +6 | Init +2 | Per +8

This time of year is slow for all my games. Don't worry too much about it. Check when you can, post when you can and take care of yourself.

Don't wanna lose our Marshal!

I would very much like to have you stay with us.

Don't worry. We're not frustrated at all. We all know how rough real life can be.

Sorry you've had a rough time of it, Miruna. I'd respect whatever decision you made but hope that as long as you stay with us, this game can offer welcome reprieve, however minor, from RL woes.

Question: can I prepare my spells for the day we are about to have, or, whatever is to come, would I still have my previous day's spells (including spells spent, which would be one first level spell as she'd use her mount spell traveling the day before?). Once they were in the ruined area she'd probably dispense with the mount spell and do some different preps.

Yes - we can assume that, being so close to dawn, you are able to prepare your new spells for the day.

Should probably point out for next time we camp in (potentially) unfriendly territory: I can cast keep watch, which would let a few of us stay up and alert for the entire night.

I've got the encounter map updated. Sorry for the delay.

The party starts on elevated ground near your campsite, while Sasha and Mishka start down the slope, surrounded by the flock of predatory vultures.

Message for all my games:

The flu has fallen upon my family, hitting me and my daughter especially hard.

I'm going to take the weekend off to recover and look after my little girl, so I'll check back in with you on Monday to let you know how we're doing.

Thank you for your understanding.

sorry for the disappearance. Me and my ISP had a fight and they lost a customer. Unfortunately, This was during a time where I didn't have phone, so I have been unable to give any updates until now. (I have finally gotten my new phone)

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I think fighting a dragon would be easier than fighting with a telecom company. Of course, slaying a telecom company would be more satisfying...

Anyhow, glad to have you back!

Kain is waiting on Valeska at the moment. His attempt would be more stand offish. Possibly warranting intimidating, so he would rather let her give it a go first at lowering the ridiculous fee.

I'll check loot to see if we have that kinda change.

I think Nadiya's personal stash is about 70 gp so...

I got a chunk of change in the form of 77 platinum, but I'm not jumping up and down to donate all of it. I'll give 350 gp worth to the cause tho.

I'm hoping the Countess can talk them down, Leta's babbling attempt at aid another notwithstanding.
