I am playing up that hw is an elf and elves tend not to like neutral magic, which specializes in transmutation and illusion.
Gotcha -- was wondering what the 'illusory one' was about. Thanks!! :D
he has no idea that you are an irda.
I am thinking that he might have been a wizard sent with Gilthanas" expedition but got separated. I don't recall if that took place before or concurrently to Xax Tsaroyh or maybe Gilthanas or Solostoran sent him to see if Solace is in league or under siege of the Red Dragon Army?
if I am being a bit much let me know.
I'm thinking he could be a friend of Gilthanas and they studied magic together?
Not being a bit much at all. Hm. As an elf, he might take direction from the Qualinesti throne; you might be up here originally intending to take a look at the work that Theros Ironfeld is doing (which was in part Gilthanas' work). As a wizard, independent of the crown, he might be investigating Abanasinia -- particularly Haven, Solace, and Gateway -- with concerns about the whole 'Seeker' theocracy. Gilthanas, however, hasn't studied magic, and won't until well into the Age of Mortals; for now, he's just a fighter. (Info on Gilthanas being culled from here.)
And you definitely need to reveal what your entire spellbook is!! :D Gotsta find out what spells we can trade!!
Actually in 1e and the novels he was a fighter/ wizard. Raistlin referred to him as a dabbler. He never took the Test but in the Afe of Morrals he became a fighter/sorcerer
Ah, okay. I was going off that page, there. ;) So yeah, it's possible they studied together for the baseline groundwork. :)

They can be. Except you were more promising than him. Gilthanas only studied magic for the fun of it and never took the test.
Ok. I remember in the Soulforge Par Salian not4r that Gilthanas had studied, showed promise but was not serious.
happy Easter
Happy Easter to you to!
Happy Easter
I realized a couple days ago that I forgot to put a map or 7 in my inventory. I was going to ask the DM if I could update. At the time I thought it was likely to be just flavor. Oops. At the time I thought it would be a fun in-character thing to be on the lookout for maps and such.
My goal is to find a map and edit it like Tasslehoff's maps.

That'll be great. I think Kali would be more than happy to help you with that. :)
Once we get one in-game we can put it in google docs and we can both edit it.
If we want to get really crazy we can do a full journal that way and you can write in the journal and Bander can add color commentary.
The annotated chronicles
True.

Cool. Better get started since Kali sketches stuff. I'll get it set up.
Lol
Are we still on the boat or have we made land fall.
Boat I think. It's going to take a while to get wherever we're going.

Hmmm. I have never done a shared doc before online. It should be interesting.
I like this map it doesn't have a lot of detail. So we could add more to it as we learn.
Here is a pretty detailed one its pretty high res. But its not a player map.
Its not as good as the one in the Tas's Map Pouch pack but that file is huge and I can't get it to load to Imgur to share.

I don't know what you were thinking of working up but I was able do this in Google Slides.
Cool! I was actually using that second one as a reference for Kali's background.

The map?
Note put on one of the sheets. Simple map would be a good one to annotate.
The distance across the lake is about two miles; that distance is rowable by an athletic woman not specialized in it in about 30-40 minutes (speaking from witnessed experience). With two strong people at the oars, it should be less, but balancing it out with a bigger boat carrying more (and bigger) people, 30m seems about right; Wikipedia's article suggests a speed of 3.5-4.5 mph, the average of which would put it at 4 mph, accomplishing 2 miles in 30m. So we should be getting there soon. ;)

Yep. The map. Sorry.
Re: Map scales
I keep forgetting how small Ansalon is. I thought it was bigger than that by an order of magnitude.
You should have your first combat encounter when you get across the lake. With draconians.
Note you are heading in the wrong direction, so I have to improvise. Crystal Lake is West of Solace, which would mean that it's on the opposite direction than Xak Tsaroth.

Yep.
I think this will be more interesting anyway. Kali would still be recognizable and we can't let Slam and Thalasi have all the fun being chased. :P
@Kalisuel did you get a look at the test journal. Did you have something else in mind. My first thought was just a Google Doc but the Slides allowed for the old papa background. Once I did that I ran it some cool journal covers.
Did you have a different shared journaling option?
If you liked the one I put together take a look at the different pages and give a suggestion on paper such.
I was going to use Google Docs, I think option 1 and 2 would work the best. Sorry. I missed the link.
I found docs harder to have a background image on.
Remember, you have your first combat encounter on the way to Haven. I can't wait to set it up.
We won't mess it up. Don't worry.
Even if we choose to go North toward the barbarians or South toward Haven. We will still be west of the lake on the road near Haven. So unless we get really tricky its likely still ahead of us.

As bad as this elf is just 4hink how bad it would be if he was a Silvanesti.
The other elf wizard Kali knows was a Silvanesti. So far Thalasi is more likable than he was.
I think he's working on it.
And all things considered ... I'm starting to suspect Peregrine is going to be a black robe far sooner than Raistlin was. Maybe before we get to Xak Tsaroth. ;P Though y'know, it probably would be considered justifiable homicide ...
Seriously, though, you might consider making Thalasi less 'total uptight prick to rival the Kingpriest' and more 'willing to work with others and striving for the good of magic and of his people'.
Or, y'know, a Black Robe.
Peregrine, is Thalasi rubbing you the wrong way? Becoming a black robe before Raistlin does is really surprising. If Thalasi is too uptight, I suggest toning it down a little.
And the Kingpriest was a prick. All of them were.
Oh. Well, I just gave him a ridiculous hairstyle. I'm probably going to be abusing Prestidigitation a lot for various things like this and other pranks.
Probably not the wisest move, but I and Kali thought it was worth it.
I think that the two of us know that. I'm also pretty sure that Peri was intending for the boat to be found by the owner since we just kinda grabbed it and rowed.
I'm not sure how the dm wants to run focused v. Innate spells. Per the Canon bards cast arcane spells with no healing and their magic is the magic of chaos, the same with sorcerers who do not exist at the time until after the chaos war. Either way they would be considered a threat to high aoecery and would be deemed renegades.
The irony of course is that she said "I'm no thief" directly after we all stole a boat.
lol
Doubly funny that she's LN. :P
Also, thanks for stepping in like that, Slam.
Re: Bard Magic
If that's the case, then why didn't the GM veto my spell choice? I picked up CLW to help with the healing situation. I can see them being renegades, but again, I don't think Kali would have had an opportunity to learn this seeing as she kept it hidden until just now out of habit from when she was a child.
I'm going off the description of bards in the DLCS. Depending on the time period I have said that bards were divine casters m ostlyndedixated to Branchala so they can cast spells as divine.
