Just a note - the school year started up again for me, so I will be more of an evening poster unless students are working independently. :)
Those sound like the right options. I assume a bucket is big and heavy enough to require both hands to manuever it well, so just one bucket per person.
The townspeople are already working on the bucket brigade, and it will be at the southern door soon. Can keep extending also, and PCs can join in if needed.
Good luck with school year, I do not envy you that job, not one bit
PS: I am back at home today, so should have regular posting for a while.
Ah, school starts for me tomorrow. Year 17 teaching and I'm going to a new school!
Good luck with your school year.

Good luck with your school year.
Year 4 for me (it's a second career) & it's just the pre-student week. Meetings, moving back into my classroom after a remodel (construction isn't done AT ALL).
Good luck with yours, too.

Good luck on the new school year!
I have part of the wiki up, but will be working on it more when the time allows.
Valdrin, check the link for your wiki. It just leads back here for me.
My bad, I got the order reversed. Link should work now.
I get a "permission denied" screen when I click the link
Okay, I think I may have fixed it! I'm still new to it, so mucking about with the settings is a thing. I'm also still messing about with the settings and whatnot, but hopefully folks can at least configure their characters and whatnot.
Works now! Yay! That's really cool. It's going to be fun when we can fill more of it out as time goes on.
Let me know if you can't access certain areas and whatnot. I haven't done a proper wiki in a while, so it'll be a little slow at first getting things updated and accessible.
Was able to log in and view. Looks like a good start. Excited to see how it develops as you progress in the AP. Thanks for the homework!
While this is looking pretty rough, I think you are just about to turn the corner on it. Let's just say a bucket arrives at each end each turn for now. A bucket douses 4 squares per bucket.
I'll be getting prepared to get more people, then channel if need be, but we should almost be there!
Oops, I got a little turned around about what Round I was in, haha - had a really long day today.
No worries! Once everyone is out, I'll probably use my two prayers for the day. Some Full Round Heals might help out quite a bit.

After being out of town last week, I am just around the house this holiday weekend (in the US at least) and will continue to post, unless someone expresses they need a break.
Almost done with opening encounter, and then things get more interesting.
Talked to Serpens' player. He had a really busy week and will be back at it asap.
Just to clarify, does Trista get two buckets, or does each front of the line get one?
Each end of the alternates between getting 1 or 2, this round Trista gets 2 so does the other end. It's perhaps a concession from text as written.
Thanks for checking in with Serpens. I will give him time to post and then run him if he is away as to not slow down the whole game.
Awesome. I updated the fire on the map.
I'm out of town this morning, but I'll be home and by myself tonight (no kids) so I'll probably be bored and checking a lot for posts :)
Let's hope we get this fire section handled today so we CAN post a lot :P
Was up pretty much 24 hours and just got home. I’ll post when I can, but brain not working atm, lol.
Take care of yourself. <3

Loot Gained
none (so far)
Please let me know if I have something wrong, and let's use these summaries to reset and be on the same page going forward.
I think you're the first DM who's ever had me track ammo. :P I'll have to be better about remembering that. I'm glad you paid attention.
Was definitely a more challenging initial encounter, my initial build didn't have much in the way of non battlefield support. Definitely something to consider for future levels
Yeah, that was an interesting one. Sort of a fight with a hazard.
Oh, I failed to mention that i scaled the fire mephit up to Elite for this encounter, since there are six of you, instead of the pre-programmed 4. I have seen other GMs add a second instead, but same net effect on encounter complexity. You handled that part pretty easily regardless.
Of course just when I thought I had a nice quiet night to watch movies and refresh the campaign page constantly, I decided to have a few beers with the neighbor then get deep into video games until late.
Didn't even turn on my computer :)
Good thing about PBP I guess, is that you can do that and not really skip a beat. Sounds like more fun than just mashing Refresh
Ooooh, what video games are you playing? :D
Finally getting around to finishing Kingmaker on PS4 before Wrath, allegedly, eventually comes out. And some FIFA ‘22
I played them on the PC, really enjoyed Kingmaker, Wrath was 10x better. I have some 400 hours in Kingmaker and like 250 in Wrath. Love them both, wrath has so much replayability
The school year starts up for me tomorrow. I am usually dead on my feet upon returning home during this first week, so please feel free to bot me should you need to in order to keep things moving. PBP is one of my big joys right now, so I imagine I won't neglect it, but there's a good chance the first couple of days will be me coming home and passing out from exhaustion :P I'm the assistant esports coach and we are holding tryouts this week. Going to be a busy one.

Hope you survive your first day, Elise. Sounds like a challenge.
Just FYI, I updated the Loot Tracker (link at top margin) with the goods received from the town and 50 silver pieces you each received. You can shop for items if you need any -- most common things will be at Quarters and Bits, and you've already met the proprietor Crink.
That said, the items in the first page of the Loot Tracker are held by the party, but considered unassigned. That means, that no on in particular is holding them, so they cannot be used in Encounter mode. You can assign them (just be claiming or saying so) to individuals then they move to the 3rd page, and if held by you, can be used in combat etc with an Interact action (or as noted in the description).
Assigning and valuing things is important.
Internet is down at home today, no idea why (but I suspect some construction killed a tower) so I don’t know what my posting is going to be like on the near future. Bot as needed.
Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully its very temporary.
I did move the antiplague and antidote (think I said antivenom before), both are lesser, to Valdrin's possession, but the minor healing potions have not been distributed yet.
I'll take one!
If nobody else wants to claim it, Elise can take one of the minor potions as well.
I'm fine with anyone taking the minor potions as well. I can use heals and treat wounds fairly well. I should have major out of combat healing taken care of starting level two.
Looks like I’m back, I’ll have to catch up (20 posts! Nice!) once I get back from picking my kids up from school in the next hour here.
Not sure if 2g is worth worrying about, but according to Pathbuilder I had 1.2 GP left after creation, not the 3.2 you have listed, GM.
I am wondering if your herolab or whatever didn't calculate the cost of my second steel shield.
I will go with your number
Sounds good! I got mixed up because my other games had house ruled more points and I was used to that. <3

Sorry for missing yesteday, got sidetracked on a work thing and never made over here.
No worries about Hero Point confusion. One to start and then awarded for good deeds after (like sneaking into the bookseller's place - successfully).
Its amazing how much fun you can have with simple side interactions.
Rofl, honestly, I think her getting caught was almost better than if she had done it successfully.
I mean, not succeeding can be quite fun in the narrative. Tends to make things more memorable, and is a reminder that not everyone is perfect. Elise getting caught, and the door being slammed before anyone else could talk to Voz, I'm already loving the dynamics so far, lol.
