I don't know if it needs to be said but my above comments weren't intended as complaint.
Rather I wanted to just make it clear that there are meta-game reasons that were contributing to what is happening in character. Not solely character motivations.
Right I totally agree!
If my perception of elapsed time is correct, all the other fliers should be grounded now (unless we want to say that there were backup casters at the ready to recharge them)

I take it the chaos of the battle force Lykan to use abilites he rarely use so now on the ground there's a kungfu bear fighting the enemy.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
No recharge team. So then the flying soldiers are grounded. The one with the wand of call lightning will hand it over to Kendryl.
Go Kung Fu Fighting Bear!!!
Is the "rift" the same as the "tunnel?"
Sorry yes. They burrowed under the gate and out about 100 feet before coming back up. The rift is the opening of the tunnel. There is also another opening to the tunnel in front of the wall. This is where I believe Lykan has sprung into melee to stop the surge of soldiers.
Ohhhhhhh . . . I thought it was some sort of magical rift.
Sorry no, that would have taken a lot longer! Some of the monstrous soldiers have the ability to tunnel and leave behind a tunnel for the others to follow.
How long does your web bolt and entangle spells last?
both are 6 minutes
Sorry yes. They burrowed under the gate and out about 100 feet before coming back up. The rift is the opening of the tunnel. There is also another opening to the tunnel in front of the wall. This is where I believe Lykan has sprung into melee to stop the surge of soldiers.
Yep that's where I jumped in since I should be able to hold back the breech until I get reinforcments.
Yup! Your AC is in the 30's right now right? So only if they get a 20 would they hit.
I am not going to bot all three PCs. Hello?

Sorry folks as I have been MIA. Thankfully nothing serious, just a lot of time with family and vacations and such. From the 1st to the 9th I likely will not be posting much as we are going to the beach and won't have wifi at the beachhouse. Service is also spotty but I will see what I can do.
Enjoy the time.
Okay folks this is the last push before we start the next module.
Enjoy your time Wolf!

I intend to but hope that you get a post in gameplay asap! I hope to see three posts tomorrow. One from Lykan, yourself, and our monk who is utterly quiet!

Also I'm currently in a losing fight with my back injury flaring up again so am on pain meds and can sometimes be found facedown on my keyboard.
So.....just to let you know in case there's a string of letters posted..
Lykan your spot is guaranteed when you get back.
With that in mind it is down to Quince... so I started recruitment again. I should open a new campaign when I am back from the beach.
Will we be taking any downtime before the next chapter?
We need to finish the... 6 months... or year or whatever time we were taking off.
So Quince what else do we need to do to finish the leap forward.
I will likely work on improving the NPCs, which two would you like me to focus on?
A year sounds good.
I can start working on the year of Kingdom Turns.
Do you want me to organize NPC exploration teams to finish clearing the Varnhold map like we did after the last chapter?
Do you want me to organize NPC exploration teams to finish clearing the Varnhold map like we did after the last chapter?
I kinda need to do this to justify us being able to claim hexes. Just what I wanted in the last 4 days before school starts working on spreadsheets. LOL.

We could adjust the Magic Item Slots, actually don't worry about that step until the last month.
If there is any items we want we can have them built or found in the shops.
Sure. That works. This is items found in shops. As the slots fill it gets less tedious but I will gladly drop that step. Though I may refill ones so that we can cash in one item for BP during the income phase.

Kevros, Jorne, Cleo, Katrina, St. Jown, and Dinenen lead an expedition through the hill country of the Nomen Heights.

Lands. Its primary source is from the Gurdin River, but countless smaller rills and streams empty from the mountains in dramatic cascades along the lake’s eastern shores.
The waters of Lake Silverstep host an enormous variety of fish; the most common are small, thick-bodied silver eels—quite delicious and much sought after by gourmet chefs. The fact that angerous predators often hunt along the shores of the lake, combined with the fact that silver eels are ifficult to catch due to their uncanny ability to sense hooks in bait, together ensure that demand for the
eels remains high.
Success! Possible Mine to open.
A search of the island and a successful DC 25 Perception check reveals a large amount of bones—evidence of the flytrap’s victims. Most of the bones are from centaurs or humans. Scattered among the bones is a bit of treasure: 320 sp, 345 gp, 13 pp, a masterwork bastard sword in an elegant darkwood scabbard worth 150 gp, a lesser silent metamagic rod, and a helm of comprehending languages and reading magic.
Hex.
Success allows the PCs to notice a strange and somewhat unsettling sound, almost as if the whispering of a number of hidden conspirators were carried on the wind that blows through an otherwise unremarkable dale between two hills. A second DC 25 Perception check reveals numerous small holes in the ground and hillsides; as the wind blows over these narrow fissures,
it generates the unsettling noise. Anyone who peers into these small fissures is greeted by a shocking sight—a glittering tangle of crystals. The narrow caverns that riddle this area contain a sizable deposit of gemstones, providing an excellent economic resource for a kingdom that claims this hex as its own.
Sounds great!
Here is a Google Doc so we can discuss kingdom development not stated in the rules.
Do we have the ability to make a fishery on Lake Silverstep?
N46 Ironstone Gully-: yes we should build a mine here!
N52-U: Dragonleaf Gulch: nice loot, this would be an excellent spot for a bridge, what do you think?

Assuming Kendryl is remaining he and a few folks that he is willing to cast fly on really make searching the mountains exciting. Lykan has experience in Nomen Heights so he might want to do some exploration. Selena, Tristan, Lornana and Vesie would also be good expedition memembers.
smooth, stands at the western end of a valley here. The stone is known by locals as the Ghost Stone, for at night, the air surrounding the stone within a 120-foot radius glows with a soft radiance, and strange, ghostly shapes of unnatural shape and posture f lit and writhe through the
air. The Ghost Stone itself is a spire-like structure with a dull point that stands 15 feet high, an ancient elven relic, abandoned and forgotten. It once served as the foundation for a portal to the Ethereal Plane, but today it serves only to make the boundary between this world and the next
unnaturally thin. On the Ethereal Plane, the area glows with a strange bright radiance and the Ghost Stone itself sits as a stationary, solid curiosity that often attracts natives of that realm. Recently, this attraction has caused something of a minor territorial war. Vesi meets an odd phase spider named Zzamas who askes for help against a group of Xills. With the evil Xill destroyed Zzamas rewards them with a lost secret chest she recently found drifting forgotten through the Ether. The chest itself is worth 5,000 gp, remains functional as the focus for a secret chest spell, and is locked (DC 35 Disable Device to pick the lock). The wizard the chest once belonged to is long dead, but
the wand of dimension door (22 charges) and the spellbook it contains are still quite useful. The spellbook itself should be filled with a number of spells that are useful to the party’s wizards (6 each of levels 1–5)—otherwise, it can be sold for 2,475 gp.

had been melted away by a powerful acid. No sign of the dragon’s skull remains at all—or of the dragon’s treasure. A DC 20 Perception check reveals a healthy scattering of silver and black dragon scales. Rumors and legends of a silver dragon named Amvarean are obviously out of date—the black dragon Ilthuliak slew the younger silver dragon many years ago and stole her treasure.
Is Kendryl even still with us? Lykan is having back problems and it makes sense he doesn't post.
Nice chest!
Yup dead monsters.
Oohhhh a dragon lair! Ressurection spell?
RL has had me a touch absent also team, apologies.

This is the time to offer your friends a chance at kingmaker, recruitment is back up
Kendryl you have a year in Greenwatch what do you do?
Which Council spot will you take?
Then you get 36 wishes. As the rest of the council members get their allotted 3 wishes a month, 36 wishes for the year.
Yup Quince another 32... each council member.

I spent about 6 hours yesterday just on 3 kingdom turns. LOL. I am a third of the way through Witcher 3 for the first time. In the middle of a Valheim play through with a friend and Baldur's Gate three just finally released. I have things to do before I have to go back to work Thursday. :)

Is Dinenen still with us?
Did he want to name the monastery.
I am going with Talon Peak for now. That's the name on the map.
I have been trying to push through the year of down time. I have to be back at work on Thursday so I wanted to get it resolved by then.
If you have suggestions on buildings that should be added. Cities or sights that should be developed and such let me know.
For the most part I have been filling out the grid in our existing cities and started the monastery (and the small village that will be around it. That was mentioned desired in gameplay.
Ft. Promise is now a full grid.
An actually 12 months AND 36 wishes? Like I can go through all of the crafting rules and figure out how many flying items that could create? Actually have the Air Corps!? That is insanity!!!

GM Wolf will want to put up the guidelines for wishes.
If I remember correctly. You can up your stats but I forget what limits he put on this but depending on how much you want it can be pretty substantial.
You can also wish for magic items up to 25k gp. You can combine enchantments but the gold piece cost of the second is double. But the final item must cost less than 25k gp.
He also allows some stacking of wishes but those are best asked for individually.
I just realized that I am rolling for an event for every month. But there is a 25% chance.
Rather than trying to unring that bell. I will just roll going forward.
