Well, it made sense since she was scouting mostly other goblins.
Buying some cold weather outfit and furs for 20gp in total.
In addition to knowledges, face skills, illusion/charms, and sweet, sweet inspire courage, Ethulfel is a halfway decent scout, and can summon or charm animals if we really need more bodies for a battle (and more targets for inspire courage). Maidie is correct about him mostly needing to stay where its safe during combat though.
Hmm... fun fact- if Eth and Meep were to wander off on their own for any reason, and both took 10 on their stealth checks, nobody in the party would have even odds to find them (Moon would be closest at 40%)
I'll post in response to the spoilered conversations/activities later (probably tomorrow?), I just wanted to get something up in gameplay before I missed the whole conversation. Also, I don't know if it's just me or what but the Elven spoiler (in my post) won't open on my computer? Eth is asking Moon to try to keep the Voice talking for as long as possible, so I can study its voice.

HEY! There will be no 'hypothetical' sneaking off into the bush for a quick cuddle with my protege, little mister! You cad!
:P
Sadly, Salsa, I included my +2 in that roll... so I can't read the spoiler since I blew the roll by 1 point.
To Eth's point about posting rates - I plan to not respond to the Voice this evening to let other folks catch up, jump in, etc.

I guarantee you it's a malformed tag in your post. Hit the edit button and double check those.
Check if /spoiler is '/spoler' or the like.
I was missing a "[/b]" outside of the spoiler that was somehow screwing it up.

Actually, while the party would likely be unable to notice Eth and Meep sneaking away, they'd for sure be able to find them, unless the sneaky runaways can fly/float.
Even on hard floor (stone and the like), both Erigga and Moon can find their trails by taking 10, since it has nothing to do with Stealth. Once the trail is found, they two can take 10 to find them.
lol- excellent point, Erigga!
note to self- learn to fly…

I know we have some knowledge monkeys here, so in the future when you want to roll a knowledge check and you're not sure what to roll, just roll once for each topic or bit of information and list the modifiers after the roll.
So in Betzolte's case, she's wondering about local legends and history surrounding the Skull of the Moon and blackened tongue's eaves. In this case, Local and History make the most sense, but let's pretend that wasn't the case.
she'd roll like this.
I'll be adding this and the combat stuff I mentioned in the RotRL game to the Campaign info tab.
Betz, if you want, give me a Knowledge(Local) and a Knowledge(History) check. Those would be the most relevant here.
And posted stuff about initiative, rolls, and crits in the campaign tab.
Betz, I'll get you a post in just a bit.
Can I assist if we talk about what we know? If not, I guess just use these separate checks? My history and local are both +7.
In this case, no. It's more about what you know. If it was doing research then I'd allow an aid another roll.
By the way, what's the watch order?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
My suggestion:
Watches
1 [evening] Erigga (normal +11), Moon (lowlight +13)
2 [night] Meep (darkvision +6), Grob (darkvision +10), Betz (darkvision +6)
3 [morning] Maidie (normal +6), Eth (lowlight +10)
If no one objects by tomorrow, we'll go with that.
+1 to the suggestion above.
Since we have not been in combat, Maidie will take that heal spell now.
Soundss good on the watch
If Meep and I take the dawn watch together we’ll darkvision and lowlight vision, so we’d be able to see no matter the light conditions?
LOL. Shameless attempt to get some alone time with Meep. :)
My logic is to put characters on the watches where their vision works best and try to match higher and lower PER characters.
As Goblins are more active at night (from what we’ve seen), it made sense to have the folks with darkvision and the extra character on during the darkest hours.
It was a shameless ploy, yes, lol (and also a joke- I'm totally fine with the proposed order).
Post coming tomorrow. I'll be flex timing Moon's visit back to the Great Log and the Voice thereof.
The plan is to get y'all back to Kassen since I think y'all packed enough food for the trip to the Voice, but not much more. You'll be able to resupply and plan an excursion into the section of the Fangwood that Ganny Black Tongue claims. It'll also give me a chance to figure out how I'm going to handle the search for the goblin meeting place. The section of forest is large, it'd take a few days just to cross it, much less look through it, and even with two or three good hunters, it'll be hard to forage enough to sustain the party in the middle of winter.
If Grob's mentor had enough levels as a druid, a handful of goodberries could be a lot of help. They last for day/level.
We are in seven, counting Meep, so Grob would likely need to spend two spells each day to provide us with berries off his own.
Olmira and most of the mentors are at level 5 or 6. Prasst and Talliree are at level 4 (otherwise they'd be able to take care of Coldana's eyes.) The other thing is that you'd still have to go back to Kassen to get them from her, and she's going to be helping with the town's defenses, so she won't be able to come with you either. There is also that meeting with the raven Ethulfel has scouting the area north of the river, so at least he would have to go back anyway even if y'all weren't going to be running low on supplies.
Don't worry, I'm not the sort of GM to try and screw over the party's plans, at least not without giving y'all a chance to stop the baddies. If y'all want to try and catch them off guard and disrupt their back lines, I'm all for it. I'm just not going to make it easy.
No post tonight. I need to mentally reset and focus on getting a good night's sleep. Apologies.
And yes, Ethulfel, I did miss that. Apologies for that as well.
Half expected the Voice to say this!
Oooh, this is getting even MORE interesting now!
Alas, I have no time to pop popcorn tonight. Still, this is getting interesting. :D
Posting this here so everyone can see it.
No post tonight. Still recovering form Wednesday night where I got exactly zero sleep, plus some other fun stuff with a snake and looking for things to deal with said snake just after finding out that yes, I do in fact have ADD (I'm fine, been dealing with it for years well enough that I was never tested as a kid. I just have the diagnosis now. :P)
I'll try to get a post up this weekend to move things forward.
Hey guys, as you all probably know I've been working on changing some stuff in my life and working on some long overdue things around my house. The short version is, I'm making progress, but it's not quick. Unfortunately, habits don't change overnight and it's going to take some time before I get back into the saddle here. It'll probably be a couple more weeks before I start posting again. I know that it can be frustrating to have a game go on hiatus, but I promise that I will be back and pick this up again as soon as I am able. I'm loving what's going on and looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Thank you for your patience while I get this sorted out.
I'm glad you're making progress, at any pace! And thank you for the head's up. We'll see you in a couple of weeks!
Glad you're okay! Thank you for letting us know. We'll be ready when you are, of course!
