Oop, I'll get a post up in a few hours, weekend's been rough.
Just curious about a side thing - are gnolls colorblind?
As per a National Geographic description of hyenas:
Vision (summarized from Calderone et al. 2003)
Eye similar in size to humans
Nearly spherical
Color vision possible, though likely limited
Few cone photoreceptors (cells responsible for color vision); 100:1 ratio of rods to cones
Most colors likely appear blue or green, as with dogs
I saw a gaming cartoon of a wolfman/gnoll not being able to match a colored weapon to a colored target.
Not sure this would ever come up in game, but I thought I'd ask
I don't think I'd start reading real science into the rules; talk about pandora's box. So my answer would be, since you're the player who chose a Gnoll PC, you get to decide. They could be partially, or completely, or not at all. Up to you.
Hmmm, narrative me wants it yes colorblind for potential laughs, rules munchkin wants it full color for no loss in ability. Better go with full color just for ease in gameplay if anything
Just saw the rolls for Rocko analyzing the 'bug'. Because this seems like a very plot important action. I was hoping either Yoltzin or Zia might be able to give Rocko a little bit of a luck boost. I'll wait until later this afternoon before posting rolls
Well, so long as you say it first, then I have no trouble in giving Rocko a Dash of Luck. (Roll twice, choose better) While also providing assistance with Heal.

All good, we switched driving as we're were heading home... I was like..
Yay! I get to post!
Yayy~
I just noticed in our treasure inventory that we have that copper ritual bowl. Could we have Zia use it to break the curse on three or four people an hour? That would let us fully heal about twenty or thirty a day rather than just one, at least until we can find something better

My intention was ONE extra spell per day, initially, but I think what I'll do is this:
It automatically can produce one slot up to 3rd level, once per day.
After that, each ritual requires a Fort Save on the part of the caster. The DC is 9 + the Spell Level + Number of prior times the bowl has been used that day. A failed save means the caster gains the exhausted condition that cannot be magically healed but requires 1 hour rest.
So yes, it can increase the number by at least 1, and likely several, castings, but the cost after too much casting is time and/or temporary loss of a caster.
Sounds fair. My thought was that since it effectively makes combat spells nearly useless, that it would allow multiple uses of the spells that are useful as rituals. I am pretty sure DnD 5e allows ritual versions of spells unlimited usage
Yoltzin also has access to Remove Curse- but I don't have it prepared. She can, however, use the bowl along with Zia in turns.
If we want to go with the hang out and remove as many curses as possible thing, we'll have Zia start making checks until she fails. Then Yoltzin can make checks until she fails. Etc.
Once you're done (or it becomes obvious the DC is too high to cure more that day), I'll display how much time has elapsed on the 26th during the curing. The other PCs can either wait around here or do something else, such as patrol the area, look into the merchant houses, etc.
We'll go from there.
While removing curses one by one may take awhile and leaving them awake may be dangerous, could I attempt a Heal or even a Nature check to know if there might be something we could do to safely put them into an elongated sleep?

Go ahead and make the Heal check.
Once the man leaves, Djack with brief the team on what he's learned.
Okay, you're in Highbridge. You've noted several estates back from the road that seem well-guarded, and there are plenty of people on the streets (mostly professionals or members of merchant families, from appearances) to interact with.
You'd also been tasked by something called Aliança Velada (the Veiled Alliance) to track down the source of the beetles and stop them from coming into the city. Djack accepted the offer on behalf of the group, for a payment amount to be named later.
How would you like to go about this task, or what else would you like to do in Highbridge?
Campaign history (linked on the Campaign Info tab) has been expanded. Events of the period before the Ricoan Calendar but after Pre-history have been included. These events involve only the "Old Country", as none from our southern-European analogue had yet "discovered" Caldova.
Ooo, i like reading lore.
Since it's for the goals of the adventure, the party would probably be okay with subtracting it from the party funds total.
When posting is slow like this, I've been trying to move the story on by taking whatever PC direction I have at the time and moving on. Are you guys okay with this, or is it too much like railroading?

Sure, as well as sorry for not responding right away. Game night on Friday, followed by some cartography work kept me busy.
Cartography... interesting.
@Rando - I'm OK with it, don't feel railroaded.

I suppose I'm not really at a professional level or the like, but for lack of better word that comes to mind it's what I do in this vague attempt to earn money. I've a patreon and an instagram account you could check out if wished. In fact, it'd be a great help if you could share it with any friends who might be interested in my work.

Oh! you got a patreon set up! I've joined for the $1 tier and posted a link on my Facebook profile.
Oh, will do... what mapping tools do you use?
A while back, I created a Discord server regarding VTTs. It's only got 130 or so members and is kinda dead(ish) but, there are some passionate mapping folks there.
VTT: Table Talk, Astral ExPats
Anyone is welcome to check it out.

I think that's same one until recently I was running Urban Defenders on (at least, the voice portion). We just finished that up, with potential for some one-shots here and there down the road. Mal was in that one.
Very cool!
Now that just absolutely made my day a fair bit, thank you both very much! I can try to advertise myself a bit there sometime later, if I don't feel too awkward about it.

Ah- I use dungeon draft for my battlemaaps by the way, and Campaign Cartographer 3+ for my world stuff.
It seems the information you can get from the neighbors has been obtained.
Do you wish to make contact with House Carvalho? Try something stealthy? Some other option?
I'm just afraid we go there (to ask questions) and get shellacked. Seemed they had a formidable defensive perimeter.
You know, we end up fertilizer. End of story.
Too many organized crime dramas, maybe.
It is a thing that could happen, I guess. There are certain risks in stopping bad guys from badding. That said, no one specifically has been identified as the bad guy yet; the risk could come from Cavalho's own staff, from the caravan (knowing or unknowing) or from somewhere else. Or not at all.
I'm always a believer of "DM will do what the DM will do."
Sorry, been a bit off as of late. I'll try to get a propper post in today even if just a small comment from her

No problem. Seems a busy time for a lot of the group. Hopefully we'll pick up again soon. You're close to some events that will move stuff forward a little faster, and maybe require some hit rolls.

Should be more properly back soon. Start of the semester has been busy too, but hoping there should be some calmer periods soon.
Can Djack charge him?
Can Djack charge him?
No reason why not. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I posted that without having a map ready to go. Slipping in my old age lol. I'll have something up at some point today/tonight. In the meantime, assume you're in charging position. Roll initiative first though, to make sure you get him while he's flat footed.

OK thanks! Didn't know if anything was in the way or if there was 10 feet to make the charge. Can wait for map!
Did the enemy act for Round 1? They were holding.

Weird, it go et. I'll repost the attack. Good luck for you, since you got hit twice.
Can Djack tell if the dagger is poisoned? Concerned for Zia if she needs treatment or stabilizing.
Djack sees a bit of poison remaining on Zarak's main dagger; not enough to effect him, probably, but that does mean Zia is probably poisoned.
The other dagger, the one he attacked Rocko with, definitely still has a full dose of poison.
Just some prioritization RP.
Did you roll a save against her spell at all Rando?
Could I charge in with my lance?
Did you roll a save against her spell at all Rando?
I did, it was part of the text that got swallowed, along with the original two attacks on Djack and one on Rocko. He succeeded at the save, taking half damage. Rolled exactly 15.
Sorry I inadvertently sidelined your spell. There was some cool descriptive text there as well, but alas. I didn't replace it when I made my makeup post this morning. I'll try harder next time, but hopefully I don't stab myself in the back when posting often enough for it to be a concern.
Could I charge in with my lance?
Yes. Also, Yes! Very well done. Been waiting for a nice lance charge from Amideo.
