This combat has taken quite a while, and is clearly taking a toll on all of us.
The end is in sight though, and the reward for finishing it up is quite vast. You've skipped through some rooms that hold a wealth of information once you are in a position to go look at it.
You're doing great! Keep it up.
Calvus with mace...
1d20 + 6 for 1d6
IF crit, 1d6
Meant for the gameplay thread, I presume?

I need to catch up on XP and rifle through all of the information you have uncovered by clearing this place out. That will be a couple of days realtime I expect.
Feel free to RP about a bit.
We should also discuss what to do about losing Steetch and Calvus. Neither has checked in for a while, and now is a naturel point int he story to introduce new players if needed.
Yeah, we should unfortunately replace. Minimum one rogue. Two players would be great as always (clearly the buffer helped us last time, or we'd be worse off now).
Time for some admin.
XP wise, you are currently at 1764 XP, so likely to hit level 3 before too long.
Treasure wise, there are some coins and some rather nice scales in the sculptors privatre room, along with the alchemical supplies Elo found earlier. So far you've found (but not spent) as a group around 210 GPs worth of stuff. A fair chunk of it is in coins.
Finally, if there are any areas you don't intend to search, let me know.
How up-to-date is the loot sheet?
Yes, sorry to see you go, but I understand. It's been fun! Look us up if you return.
Thanks for accepting Booky into the game. I'm looking forward to playing my first spell caster in 2E. If anyone notices any shortcomings or suggestions, please don't hesitate to tell me.
A goblin witch and a kobold wizard. Excellent :)
I'm a little *too* focused on spellcasters as a player, so yes, very happy to compare notes :)
I like that your spellbook familiar has several options off the beaten path, such as Animate Rope, Deja Vu, and Pocket Library. Probably the important thing to compare notes on is prepared spells.
Since the barbarian is leaving, maybe the party could use a character more capable in melee combat than Booky the witch? I don't have a problem at all with keeping Booky for another game and making a PC for melee.
That sounds good. As I said I don't feel as if Booky is my only option. I have a female dwarf rogue (not sure of the name) or a female elf magus (Bwessara) that may be better for the group.

BACKGROUND
------------------------------
Bwessara grew up in the Kyonin Forest. When a call for defenders went out for Lastwall, she answered. Since the falling of that nation, she helped people flee into the southern regions like Molthune. After several months of that, she needed to replenish her soul by visiting some forests. She's been wandering the area since then.
She was a student of an elven arcana school. Due to her tendency to steal from her fellow students and the shops in the town, she was dismissed from the school. She wants to become a well known magus to prove that it was wrong to dismiss her.
She favors using a whip in combat. One, it gives her a longer reach to Spellstrike. Two, it is the preferred weapon of Calistria, her favorite deity to worship.
Bwessara's profile is made and slightly changed from the above. I switched Str and Con to be able to carry more bulk. The cantrip Shield was added and Puff of Poison was dropped. I also finalized the gear. (Probably forgot something ;-)
Once again, if there's anything wrong, please let me know.

Hey. I promise I haven't abandoned you! I've just gotten out of a few routines that mean posting has had to take a back seat.
I plan to look over your character sheet properly tonight, and also post in the info from the complex. I want to do it justice though as it's a crucial point for your characters, and it was a long time, and work coming!
No problem! Thanks for the update.
Hmm, yeah we need one more, and per my usual reasoning getting at least one more for buffer helps. That clearly helped us this time.
Were there more candidates in recruitment?

A quick recap:
After the death of Bort, a caravan merchanct and friend to some of you. The party as it was discovered that the culpret and murderer was Hallod, a local bully, who intimdated a local goblin into putting something in Bort's food.
Hallod hasn't and wont say much, but through his lair you discovered that he works for a mysterious V. There was also a map from his lair to a stump he used as a drop point for this person.
You also discovered much of the history of Plaguestone, and how it came to get that name. Of the woman blamed by the citizens and the daughter who fled.
At a loss where to go next, you decided to help Noala, a local ranger to find what was causing mutations in local animals, which led to the sculptor and his notes. He worked for a Lady Vilree who provided the chemicals and items necessary for the sculptors foul works.
Now you have another map that shows Hallo'ds stump. Along with a location called "Spite's Cradel".
GM, if you edit the campaign you can mark the departed players as inactive so that the current party is clear under the characters tab.
Hello all.
Welcome! I'm looking forward to the interaction between Qrik and Elo.
From the pic he looks like a more serious kobold. What did you have in mind for personality and why he's passing through Etrand's Folly?
Qrik is all about trying to prove the true superiority of Kobolds as the blood of dragons flows through them. He feels that people have given his race too little credit and he is looking for ways to show that Kobolds are a boon to the world. He would be coming to Etrand's Folly looking for something that would help with that.
What did the alchemical samples from the orc's layer contain?
- any recipes?
- material for specific alchemical items?
- or simply a gp-equivalent amount of raw materials for crafting?
Sorry for the absence. Managed to go a week without touching the computer.
Off the top of my head, I don't think they had anything that would be of use to you Elo, but I'll have a check and get back to you.
No problem, and thanks!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
I presume we're heading to Hallod's cell unless someone thinks of something else we need to do first.

Ok Elo, looking again, most of what the orcs are making is stuff you will know:
- Lesser alchemist's fire
- Lesser acid flask
- Lesser bottled lightning
- Lesser frost vial
- Lesser tanglefoot bag
- Minor elixir of life
In amongst the sculptors notes though you also find recipies for:
I should also point out that you have 270GP worth of stuff, and you've basically not spent anything.
Newer people may not have access to the loot tracking, if not, shout up (and message me your email address and I'll grant you access to the folder on GDrive).
