You should be at 6th. Could hit 7th by the end of this adventure.

Ooo, I should look into things I can get. I'm sure there are things of use to summoner types or general clerical stuff.

If anyone comes up with anything specific they'd like to purchase before we get too far into the travel, let me know.

If no one has anything else, I'll move the plot forward this afternoon/evening.

Haven't had a chance, but will get some of the usual suspects... smokesticks, sunrods (mundane gear) and some food stuffs (cheese, baked goods, whatever keeps well - for the gifts).

Crap... a glitch in the system!

You doubled up on the dialogue paragraph. I think not intentional.

For all you United States denizens or ex-pats:

Remembering what the country went through in 1776...

Happy Independence Day, Folks!

Trivia: Declaration of Independence was actually signed on July 2nd, but it was a Saturday. Was made official on Monday, the 4th.

This is possibly the most American thing ever.

Funnily, I hadn't used Momo's real name in a near a year.

Happy fourth, people. Too rainy over where I am for a light show.

Sorry man for not getting that post in, stuff has been a little crazy down here in Texasland.

Oh crap I didn't even think of that! Are you guys in the flood area? Everyone okay?

We personally are fine, some friends of my mom had their house hit however. Only material damages luckily enough, but still a scary situation.

These are crazy times, glad your folks and friends are OK.

Just as I was getting my feet under me, I got into an ATV crash at work and got what might be a concussion...sorry for the spell of absence again.


Human Male uRogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

Anyone near Ocean City, MD?

Concussion? Hope you feel better, my man! You might have the most exciting job here.


Male Human (Polish Jew/Native American/Irish) Techie 7/Martial Artist 2

Yikes. Glad you were able to make a post, but definitely take care of yourself! Seems like a rough time for many of us.

Yoltzin's player lives in Texas, as you saw above, and was indirectly affected by the flooding.

For myself, Friday afternoon I left work with the beginnings of a pretty severe tooth-ache. I started my car, and it seems the vehicle is now relegated to a max RPM of 2500-3000. It shifts just fine (probably not transmission) but getting up to speed going up hill is SLLLOOOOOOWWWW, and St Louis, being between two rivers, has a lot of hills.

So Monday, I get to try to find a dentist, drop my car off at the mechanic, and get ahold of a rental. Meantime I'm on max doses of three pain meds.

certainly not "the best of times", but hey, at least we're all still here to post about it. well, that and the game lol.


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

Very true.


Male Human (Polish Jew/Native American/Irish) Techie 7/Martial Artist 2

anyone wish to do or purchase anything in the outpost? If not we can move on.


Human Male uRogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

Anything known to help with green dragons? Their acid, maybe?

Are we close enough to where the 100 disappeared to wonder if they settled this place or... are we assuming the settlement pre-dates them?


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

That's still int he woodland propper, I believe. I'm going to take a look at items tonight and see if there are magical items I'd like to finalize purchase on for Yoltzin. I keep forgetting to do so.


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

Alright this would be a really big purchase- probably done in the previous city- but what do you guys think of a wis headband for Yoltzin? I've 1700 on my own, I'd need 2300 from the group treasury to get it.

That is correct; you still have to cross the mountains (on a trail, this time), stop in Keep Mesa Norte to get a cart and draft horses (in case the mysterious "treasure" is found), and then make your way to the forest. This is just a stop-over before entering the mountains.

While discussing the possibility of encountering a green dragon, Zia would tell Djack she's seen accounts that their breath weapon is a cloud of highly potent acid.

Though she herself doesn't know the spell to defend against it, she's pretty sure Yoltzin could access a similar ability, if her deity is willing.

Protection from Energy is a 3rd level Cleric spell; it will grant 72 HP of acid protection.

Since no one objected, I'd go ahead with it. I'll deduct the 2300.


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

Allll good then. Also, I appreciate seeing one of my works in use! Thank you for your support, thiugh it's been awhile since I've had everything turned on.

'Tis the season. No rush, you've probably got a few days (on this game, anyway) before we get to your initiative. Enjoy vaca.


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

Shockingly low initiatives from everyone this time.


Male Human (Polish Jew/Native American/Irish) Techie 7/Martial Artist 2

yeah, except you (and Momo by extension). everyone else goes after the Dragon. You basically act "just before" it. So your spell on Rocko goes off first.


Judging by the 3x3 size on the map, player is guessing we must be facing off against a young adult green dragon? We should be glad that you rolled really darn low on its breath weapon.

Do any of the characters know dragons well enough to have an idea of its relative toughness, combat ability, etc?

Custom build. Don't metagame too hard; you won't guess the stats. suffice to say the breath weapon is 6d6. But don't assume other traits based on that, because you'll be wrong.


Human Male uRogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

Does Djack notice of the creature has... Reach? Did it attack anyone as they approached?

He wants to attack from a flanking position (or charge if no reach).


Male Human (Polish Jew/Native American/Irish) Techie 7/Martial Artist 2

It does have reach, I sort of glossed over that in the first round. You could Acrobatics through it's space; the DC would give you right around even odds of succeeding. Failure would get you a Wing or Tail Slap AOO (it's lesser attacks).

Gramms is a tough broad!


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

I am giving Djack, or even Amideo, time to try and stay her had if they want to attempt. I'm not sure what they could say to turn her against the idea, but I don't want tobjust act fully on my own.


Human Male uRogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

Djack isn't stopping anyone, he's torn himself.

It's not like they are known to be endangered or anything. Like killing the last unicorn in Legend.


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

To be fair, I thibk the meaning of that movie would be a little lost if it was "killing the Last tarasque".


Human Male uRogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

Djack is mostly a "can't we all just get along..." kinda guy. Good heart and a bit of naivete.

That last bit, the naivete being somewhat the antithesis of Yoltin's this is life and death, this is how it works. The reality of it.


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

I doblike the interactions of it all, their personalities bounce and clash well.


All this deep morality vs thirst for vengeance, and over here is Rocko: "So, can we eat it?"


Gotta love how the party has the full range of alignments: Lawful Good, Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, and Stupid Hungry


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

Stupid hungry, my favorite one of all!


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

Man, you really have been giving us every opportunity to buy additional equipment and items! I do think you should all put it into some heavy consideration though, we do have a lot of GP in our pockets. I used some of it to offset a headband purchase, perhaps there's stuff you three can pick up too.


Human Male uRogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

Eh, feels weird shopping for magical stuff.

With this game, I'm so story focused... not paying too much attention to gear. As long as we're assuming we have gear for the trek, I'm good!

Maybe a Survival roll from our trusty Gnoll!


Male Human Starving Artist 6, Cartographer 6, Babysitter 4

I get you, this game has never really been about chasing the magical upgrades. But y'know, sometimes they're helpful. :thinking:


Human Male uRogue 7 | HP 64/64 | AC19/T14/F15 | Saves F+4/R+9/W+3 | Perc +10/+14 hidden-secret | Init +4

I mean 3x sunrod, 2x smokesticks and 1x tanglefoot?

Don't read too much into it. Just want to make sure you have the opportunity before heading on to the adventure area.

Speaking of which, you were going to purchase a wagon and some draft horses. You can buy the wagon and 4 horses for 400 gp total, which I will deduct from party funds. That can carry up to 4000 lbs or about 100,000 coins worth of weight.

Djack Nymball wrote:

easily accomplished, for the book values. LMK if you need me to pull from party funds for those.


Rocko has an odd hunch that we should buy some curative ointments and potions. Remove paralysis, remove poison, remove blindness/deafness, and some more potent cures, preferably 3-4 of each. If need be, we can even pitch in for a wand for Zia.
