That was so not intentional...
I’m not a fan of Drizzt personally, for various reasons I see no need to go into, but obviously that doesn’t mean that you can’t be.
If you want to discuss or talk about Drizzt in-character, feel free. I trust you not to over-focus on the similarities or try to make the story about him, etc.
It was mostly to be silly, so it's fine if we don't do anything with it. I do like the early novels, at least, but I can also see why some wouldn't like them and I can probably guess some of the reasons why.
Basically, I thought it would be funny if the books were an in universe thing, but to be honest I didn't know how to bring it up without making Kiley sound like a fangirl. I think I'll just drop it.
@Sasha: I didn't think it was, but I did find the parallels funny. :)
To me, it definitely makes sense for them to be an in universe thing - exactly the kinds of heroic deeds, myths, legends, folk tales etc. that would be passed on in song or written down. Whether they have been exaggerated or twisted in the telling is anther matter entirely...
Novels - not sure there are enough printing presses in Faerun. Legends and common bard-stories? Totally believable.
Kiley's parents were also fairly well off, so there is that.
How much of what you found will you be telling Garok, by the way? I assume not much, but wanted to ask before assuming and posting.
I'll follow the other's lead, but I think we should warn him there may be other animals like the bear and if they do run across them, they should burn the carcass. I'm of two minds about asking about the symbol. On the one had, we probably want to be discrete, but on the other, Garok and Helga might know more.
I say tell Garok and Helga there may be other creatures like that bear. We can also say we found evidence of goblins using that chemical on the bear and it killed the gobbos before coming after us... and we burned their remains and the chemical we found (in case he saw the smoke).
I don't think we should talk about the symbol yet. If we sleuth around Friendly Arm and find nothing about it, then maybe we ask them.
I think that is a balanced response from Shaggar. Unless the caravan gets up and goes immediately, there is no urgency in discussing the suspicious symbol we've found with them.
By “gets up and goes immediately”, do you mean leaving this area when you rejoin them? Because they will be getting back on the road as soon as you return, in order to make it to Friendly Arm before dusk, when the gates are closed and no one else is let in until morning.
I’ll be getting a post up soon, moving you back to the caravan and onwards towards the inn. Using the assumption that you mention the bear , the goblins, and the chemical to Garok, but not much else.
I think Sasha is talking about when we get to Friendly Arm.
That makes more sense. Also, Happy New Years to all!
Kiley is correct - I mean post-arrival at Friendly Arm Inn.
I was about to apologize for being absent, but it looks like I'm not too far behind - hope everyone is doing alright.
I'm fine. Just got a big post done for one of the games I'm in and about to bot a player for one that I'm running.
Just to say that I'm back and have successfully added +1 to my children stat. All went pretty smoothly and we're all doing fine, just adjusting to the new reality.
I'm catching up on what's going on, will aim to post but please do bot me to move things along as needed.

Congrats! Sounds baby and momma are doing fine.
Fixed the map scale, forgot to turn the grid off for the second page I made.

Congratulations! New kids are amazing in all ways!
@GM of the Moon, do you need me to find a picture of Pheliks for the map token? He's not particularly different looking than any other, normal tiger.
If you have one you want me to use I can get it in there. Or I can grab any old tiger, just let me know!
I threw a tiger token in there for Pheliks and assigned him to you, Sasha. You should be able to move it!
You're also not in combat quite yet, so no need for per round actions. You can just all move up to the door, it's obvious they haven't heard you. Posting what you see when you open the door now.
Don't forget that one of you is botting Lisyil if/when she gets back. On that note, have any of you heard from her? Been a month and a week, now.
She's catching up in a game we're both in. I did shoot her a synopsis of what had happened, but I don't know if she'll be coming back to this one.
I'll still bot Lysil, but I was hoping to give her a chance to jump in.
By the way, have you tried shooting her a PM?
I haven’t, but let me do so right now!
If she doesn’t come back to this one, I’ll throw up a post in recruitment looking for a new arcane-ish caster. Now is actually the perfect time for you to rescue a wizard/sorceror/witch!
Thanks!
I'll bot Lysil later tonight.
Here you go!
Yes! Glad someone else noticed!

Thank you - I am perfectly happy with the map and token!
Glad to hear it!
I made it so that every player can control Lisyil's token, so that makes it easier on us until/if she comes back.
Thanks and thanks for moving Lysil. That's pretty much where I was thinking of putting her. :)
Sorry for the delay - MythWeavers was down on their sheets and I couldn't see what Sasha's stuff included. I'll be posting shortly.
If you need help with getting it setup on your profile here like the others, I can get you a template to fill out to make it easier for you.
Lisyil didn't reply to either PM or discord, you guys want to recruit another arcane caster? Now would be the perfect time to rescue one from this very dungeon. Classic new player intro!
I think getting a new arcane caster is a great idea!
Putting a post up now for one. Don't worry, I'll get your guys' input on this selection as well. Including you Sasha!
Bonus points for applicants offering a sexy and feminine Hound Archon with a deep desire to snuggle with a reformed gnoll. :D
Works for me. I'm sad to see Lysil go, but I understand why.
And Shaggar, I would have thought you'd be interested in a gnoll witch wanting to learn about this thing called love? ;)
Works for me. I'm sad to see Lysil go, but I understand why.
Ditto.
To be honest, I play blasters most of the time. Daze seems like a good option for buying time and preventing damage, so that's why I've been using it. It's been a handy spell.
I think out of the 4 or 5 times you've used it, they've only succeeded on the save once. Never seen a cantrip get this much value!
Yeah, shame that it has that HD cap on it.
Although, now that I've been (ab)using it, I'm kinda wondering when you'll be turning that back on us. :P
Who, me? Using PC tactics against the group? I would never!
Also, while we're on this topic, I will likely have Lisyil stay behind at the Inn when the group does leave it. A natural staying point to allow her to be brought back in at a later date if need be, or used as an NPC sometime in the future if I have a cool idea or something.
Sound good?
Why not? I'm going to be using mine against some of my players. >:3
So sorry about my lack of post yesterday, had some family business to take care of. Back to your regularly scheduled adventure!
Yes, but I wasn't sure if we'd find something that would interrupt further exploration while the rest of the party deliberated.
I also cannot move the green-dot for the goblin and as I move my token it does not clear out "fog of war" as I move Sasha around.
If you'd like, I can move her instead of giving descriptive posts like my last one - I was trying to do what made the most sense to me...
No, no, that’s perfect! Just wondering if you were having issues moving your token to where you wanted it to be, is all.
I'm traveling through Monday, so I may be slow to post or absent.

Hi everyone, I'm back! I had a couple+ bad months, but things are getting back to normal. Glad to be back in the game, and thanks to the GM for letting me return.
Yay! Happy to have you back, even if Lysil put Kiley to sleep. :P
