GM Wolf:
Thank you for the boons. I have a few questions, about the boons and other character topics.
Boon - ability score below 8: increase ability by one level? I assume this means my base charisma of 7 goes up to a 9?
Boon - connect to other characters: would I qualify for this between building in the business relationship between my family and Maqan's inn, or pledging myself to and serving as Saronis' squire based on how the roleplaying developed?
Maqan, Urdrsk, and Cook-Cook all got some gear at their tombs. Were Varrick and I supposed to get something as well, or did the glowing javelin I found in the pool replace that for me?
For Favored Enemy, is there a creature type that would fit thematically for the 'Powers of the Mountain' to impart to me?
Finally, I had intended to go straight ranger, but with the reoccurring 'Luck' theme that has developed around my character, would it be okay to multiclass into bard (archaeologist)? It's luck ability would be a fitting mechanic, and my treasure-hunting teenage nature seems apprpriate for it? I know you were opposed to multiclassing at the onset, so if you don't like it, no worries at all.
This is so awesome! Thanks for such a unique game. Love the boons! I hate to sound greedy, but does Varrick not qualify for the 8 or below one? His Str and Wis are both at 8 currently.

That is acceptable.
Gavin found some items: the Black Archers affects right, I am not sure what you had in mind for these things. Perhaps the bow you spoke about and some black leather armor?
Favored enemy your choice: but if asking for some guidance: undead, orcs, drow, goblins, ...
You may multi class if you want, or you may take that special as the boost to your luck ability.
Varrick:
Are either of them below 8? No. Just saying.
I am glad to hear that Maqan best of luck with the adjustment!

GM Wolf:
The young free spirited explorer barely old enough to ride a horse proper. +2 Str (Any ability score)
Good RP +2 Dex (Any ability score, must be different than others)
Connecting to other characters. +2 Wis (Any ability score, must be different than others)
Leaving openings for quests: items found, places to see (ruins), wagon of stuff +2 Cha (Any ability score, must be different than others)
Ability score below 8: increase ability by one level - Archaeologist's Luck from Bard archetype is perfect, so I can avoid multiclassing.
Daily Regime: +1 handle animal, +2 Con, +1 Str, +1 survival, +2 profession hunter
Favored Enemy: Given that my vision included hordes of orcs, sounds like orcs makes sense.
Tomb Items: the masterwork composite longbow and black leather sounds great.
Glowing weapon from pool: I was thinking a small fencing blade. Mechanically a rapier, but visually more akin to the 'cut-and-thrust' swords that predated the rapier's rise.
Sorry folks, with my wife taking sub gigs in my school we went to school together and came home together. Not much time to myself, let alone PbP. I will be posting tonight!
Urdrsk! I am waiting on you!!! I can just move on and tell you 'what you do', but I thought giving you options would be what you want.
I see Maqan and Varrick have joined the fray. Go ahead and post for rounds 2 and 3. Once everyone is caught up I will state what happened in the round.
Also everyone must post with [b]Round X[b] as a title otherwise I have to assume you are merely posting for the last round we are currently in... round 3.
Sorry folks, I got behind in posts and such. My new laptop should show up tomorrow and that will help immeasurably. Phone posting works only so far. I will try to get us moving tonight but no promises.
Guys, my time is not nearly as much my own as it used to be. I'm going to have to withdraw before I drag us to a halt. It was awesome gaming with you all!
OH I love the Christmas tree Reese's peanut butter cups, they have the best ratio!!! Honesty I have been introduced to so many new sweet treats this year and it would be hard to pick just one. For example rocky road candies made with chocolate and marshmellows, chocolate covered pretzel sticks, peanut brittle, and more homemade. Though if I had to pick only one I would still go with ye olde chocolate and peanut butter!
Hey guys, sorry for any absence the past week. I had a severe case of stomach flu and now I'm getting better, the rest of the family caught it.
So now I'm taking care of them.
I think my idea of holiday treats is somewhat diiferent than yours, my favourite would be something we Dutch call: Speculaas.
second favourite would be something called lebkuchen in German, a type of gingerbread.
Bump...
Also Gavin do you have a readied action?
Cook Cook, here we come, I never expected the group to get this far.
It seems Varrick's leaving was premature... lol!
GM, the gold is fine with me, but do you mean for me to give up xp to Brew Potions? Or is it for the times I want to brew a stew with magical properties? If the first case, the alternative nature bond option might not be worth it.
Ah! I forgot you had Druidic Herbalism. You may create 1 free potion a day, at least until you can boost that Wisdom! ;)

Maqan do you want to ask a friend or two if they would like to join our game?
