Captain Heidmarch posted: "I need her disappearance investigated. Discreetly. Try and find her, and find what the item was her crew might have found. Recover it for me and I will pay you each 500 gold. Double if you can recover Natalya and bring her to me alive."
Omnomnomnomnom 1K gold, Rangar effing salivates.
Purchase plan if its really 1K:
Masterworked Agile Breastplate (600 gold (probably best not enchanted armor he can possibly buy. +1 AC and my acrobatic is suddenly decent)
Alchemical Silver Bec de Corbin (200 gold silver and bludgeoning damage type)
Hex nail (20 Gold, will probably forget I have it)
Partly used wand of infernal healing (its on the Bloodrager spell list, so I think he can use it without WMD even without being a spell caster yet).
No idea if these are actually items he will find.
It is 1k, yes, and she is going to toss in 4 vials of silver sheen (result of Ragnar's roll and snappy report).
Feel free to chat with the Captain more as you like, but the next big move is obviously to explore the Crow, so I just want to give you a bit of an OOC heads up.
Most of the books in this AP have some large dungeon, typically multi-level. However, this one happens to be in the city that's pretty much your home base for the campaign, unlike others where you'll be away from town on actual expeditions. This means you can basically explore and leave at your leisure. It also means those monuments in town have value.
So gear up, prep up, do rituals if you want. We don't need to RP shopping unless you're looking for things that are truly unusual. Most common items can be handled off screen. Gear can be sold for 50% list price. When you're ready to explore The Crow, just let me know and I'll update your map page (which I'm just putting back to the city for now).
Caroliss helps herself to a boon from The Guardians Monument which gives a +1 to concentration checks.
Can the party contribute to either a CLW wand and/or an Infernal Healing wand? I like having both if that's an option--one for slow healing and one fast. My character is purely support so sometimes a CLW will be her most useful contribution during a turn.
Should be 150gp from each party member for a wand. @Dm Dickie--is a half-charged wand of CLW and of Infernal Healing an option?
Ragnar would definitly contribute to one, having 200 gold left before contributing 150.
IIRC he can use the wand if infernal healing without a check, since its in the bloodrager spell list, even if he can cast spells yet, but that imho up to the GM.
We each got 1000gp? Anansi the Spider will indeed contribute to a party wand. He would prefer Cure light.
The Shield scroll and Mage Armor wand would be very useful for Ambriel. They're not exciting spells and she already has them in her book, but it would free up some extremely limited space for other spells to be memorized. She'll take them.
So what's the play? Do the folks out and about want to deal with what they saw in some way, or just proceed to the morning of exploring The Crow?
Do we 3 have some way to get the drop on Terisha? Actually we may.
Anansi needs to actually tell us what he saw for that though.
I will be traveling this week. Posting may not happen for that time. Apologize but a family emergency.
Hope everything is okay, Dorian/Anansi. Best wishes.
Wow! I somehow neglected to level Ambriel up. Done now.
HP: So average then.
Does anyone have a light source right now?
If it's needed (sounds like it is?), Caroliss casts Light on Ragnar.
I do have low light vision, on account of being a horrible munchkin my venerable ancestors having persued courthsip rituals with the first world.
Ambrial has some candles?
Do we try our luck again and use Stealth or start attacking. Oh, someone with dungeoneering can check if it's a wererat.
I apologize. I am currently working 3am to noon shift, while still searching for a home.
I will catch up on all my games this weekend.
Thank you for your patience.
I think it might help to talk about where we are in the gameplay thread.
It sounds like the girls decided I was Sashan and was just pranking them, so they are ignoring us.
And then Krystal rolled a bluff check where, if I understand right, she's pretending to be Sasha and moving past the girls to block "the exit" (although there are two exits, so she'll just have to pick one).
So if that works (or even if it doesn't), we should basically roll initiative from here and start fighting the girls?
This is my interpretation of what's happening, but happy to roll with whatever the DM thinks would happen.
I will be traveling Friday through next week. I may be a bit less active during that time.
Thanks!
No worries, had a crazier than average week at work, and just hoping things get better this week (and some trainees come in to take my load off after the only other person who does what I do on my shift quit rather abruptly!) Trying to get back to a solid pace, bleh!
Ragnar would draw the line at torturing what he perceives as non combatants. Threatening them is fine.
This is more of a Bluff than anything. She can pretend to look scary if there's a benefit, but she's much more likely to use Bluff and Diplomacy. She would say torture is below her.
We should have internet tomorrow, although the new place needs everything, so still may be a bit of time yet.
Thank you for your patience.
Ragnar should be able to carry the halfling along with him no problem.
I think so to, I probably need to adjust kit for the ladies though.
@GM how many rounds of climbing is it? If I really need to I could burn a bloodrager round or 2, climb is STR so I can still use it, so, extra 170 pounds before heavy load.
It will get muhc more funnier once Ragnar gets level 4-5, there he can grow large, and probably comfortably carry the entire party, while cheeta sprinting 200 feet in a turn.
Ambriel is 5'10 but only 114 pounds. Not much different than carrying a bundle of whiny sticks around.

Heh, thats about what my german army combat load was, mind you, I only ran with that, never did much climbing.
It should be about two rounds worth of climbing. With time, tools, and materials you could likely rig a better, more usable system to get around the open window. I'll try and update the map and GP better tonight or tomorrow!
Okay, so Caroliss and Ambriel are halfway there while Anansi probably needs a piggy back to get across.
If anyone happens to be interested in a Starfinder game I'm starting one via VTT on Sunday nights. Check out my Sunday Starfinder Against the Aeon Throne
It's a half-AP, by which I mean just three books, so not a huge commitment. Starships, ancient empires, guerrillas, a Babylon 5-like black market space station, and the kind of bad guys you just can't feel bad about shooting!
We played AtAT. It was fun.
Anansi the Spider is more a talker than a climber...
Sorry gang, a little extra stressed and distracted by RL stuff. Everything is fine, just keeping me from being active on these boards. I am working to be back to a normal posting schedule, so expect an update from me in 24-48 hours. Apologies to those seeing this copy/paste more than once, lol!
I recommend that you guys move to the corner so that you'd be in a prime position to strike.
When you like, wonder why nothing happens and then notice that GM made the last post :).
With the holidays coming, I'm extra patient myself. I just assumed folks were busy, lol.
On that note I'm not doing any major traveling during the holiday season, so I shod be active as usual for me. Possibly more available because I have a bunch of long weekends and short weeks coming up. January might be slower as company plays catch-up, but IDK.
FYI - my work went bonkers and we are doing way more OT this week than usual so my posting may be slightly delayed for a few days/into next week. I'm here, but might be slow, thanks in advance for your patience!
Side note: would folks be interested in joining a Discord server where I can type messages like the above once instead of copy/pasting to each individual game I'm running/playing in?
Great idea!
I'm fine with that.
Sure!
Yes!
I'm on Discord as Dickie#4462 and am working on creating a server with an open lounge as well as separate channels for different games. Hopefully back to normal levels of overtime lol!
Add me if you want, not required by any means, but might work out for me long term with PbP and other gaming.

Sorry y'all, I've been sick, my lady's been sick, and I've been sick again. I ran out of energy and have been in and out of sleep too much to get either Star game updated, hopefully I'm back to 100% tomorrow!
Yaaaaay!

The last few weeks have just really been awful for me. I cannot remember the last time I was that sick. Its been a decade or so if I had to guess! Every time I thought I was getting better, a few hours later I got worse! I rarely get "sick-sick" but when I do whatever I have makes up for lost time and that's been the case for me the last couple of weeks! Finally getting to feeling like something normal, so updates coming shortly!
You have a much better excuse for not posting then I do in my game!
It was pretty rough, and came after getting one of the nastiest migraines I'd ever had as well, with my girl sick between it all. Not pleasant, lol
Glad you're feeling better DM Dickie!
Merry Christmas Eve to all!
Merry christmas!
