Family emergency on my wife's side. Not sure if I'll be able to checkin today.

Hope it sorts itself out. No rush to get back right now.
Apologies, everyone. I was away for a few days. Last-minute decision, so I didn't update you. I'm back now.
Hope everything is okay, Velas.
If not pressed for time, I vote we explore everything.
Hey all, thanks for the thoughtful words. My father-in-law is doing better, but still hospitalized. For now, I'm back!
Be advised that I will be away this weekend starting tomorrow AM through Monday evening. I will be unlikely to post much, if at all, during that time.
I will try to get your combat set up Monday night and advance the game then.
Hope you enjoy the time away!
I'm also traveling this weekend so the timing work out. Have a good weekend, all.
Hello, darlings. Please note I will VERY LIKELY not be able to post starting June 19th, ending on Yankee Treason Day. Gonna do some traveling and not sure whether I will have a semblance of a stable internet connection.
Bard botting is fairly simple, so I'm sure someone can do that. Command Animal, Make two actions with the horse while on horseback, Anthem, Intimidate or whatever.
If there are two actions available... SPELLS. When in doubt, link to the Pathbuilder is conveniently located in the profile and the profile header above every post I make, next to the class DC.
Sorry for the delay to get the combat set. It's up now.
Will bot Teela unless you jump in first, or until we hear from you. Wondering if we still have Faen in the game as well...
I think we have to consider Faen/Spazm0deus as lost. He hasn't posted in any of his games since May and in one of his last posts in another game he claimed employment/financial issues. Teela should be back after July 4.
Post rates have dropped overall, is it that everybody is busy in summer or is there a deeper issue?
On my side, slower posts are mainly related to summer travels. We've taken advantage of no school to do a bunch of travel. I've also had a couple family members in the hospital which has meant some unavailability.
That said, I'm still dedicated to this game for the long-term.
RE Faen, I noticed the same thing when I checked their posts. While I hope they are able to come back, I have to assume they are focusing on IRL stuff for the foreseeable future.
Good news, everyone! I may be able to post depending on local network coverage. If you'd be waiting for me for an extended period of time, however, please bot me as reception may be iffy. Let's say 24-48 hrs?
Glad we still have a quorum, I will assume Faen rides off into the sunset at next opportunity, but could possibly return.
I have been a bit distracted and pressed for time lately as I was asked to fill in interim in a new role while still keeping my usual FT gig. It stretching me a little thin but sounds like its till mid-August, so will persevere. Appreciate your patience in the interim.
I have a new player interested in taking the open seat. They are working up character concepts now, and will have them join at next reasonable opportunity.
I am prepared to join.
Well, hello there.
Back at you.
Welcome! Looking forward to having you join the game!
Unrelated: moving the discussion on mapping the area & items to purchase here. If I'm understanding exactly which items we are purchasing (basically a cartographer's kit), then I think the main skill we need mechanically is Survival which Alvis is likely the best at. So, Alvis to survey and Teela to draw the map perhaps?

Mapping the area you are reconnoitering in hexploration is an individual activity and takes a Survival check for each hex. Mostly I let you get the mapping supplies at a discount as flavor and to aid your goal in mapping the Stolen Lands.
I am prepared to join.
It looks like you may need to update your saves and attack bonuses on your profile to account for 2nd level start -- it looks like they should all be +1 more (and that's what your pathbuilder shows also).
Oh nice, adding a Champion of Arazni to the party!
Hopefully one who can be of assistance.
Arazni, you say?
Oh, this will be juicy.
Welcome, Scarlet Knight!
Regarding the return to Oleg's: As far as I'm concerned, Oleg and Svetlana can simply have the thylacines, unless someone strenuously objects. They have treated us well and it is the least we can do for them.
As for selling stuff, I'm down with that. We know the weapons and armor Kressle had weren't magical, but we do need to try and determine what the silver flask is before we consider selling that. (Not sure we ever identified the mangy cloak from Scene 24 post 348, either.)
I've taken the composite shortbow and added a regular one to the sell pile.
Noted on the composite shortbow. It looks like selling the rest of the non-magical loo would be around 42.5gp of credit (either now or for special order items) or half that in cash.
Two votes carries the motion...
Alvis curiously looks over the cartagraphers kit. Tucked in he finds a few notes on the working of the instruments included. After examining them for bit, he joins the others for a meal and says, "Perhaps I was too hasty, there are some notes included in the kit that I might be able to learn the use of the unfamiliar items. I do know the general theory of how to do surveying. I can try, but any map-making will require the services of our excellent seamstress."
He continues, "We will need to determine our next course of action, the quick run to the nearby camp and return posed little risk to this post but if we have to wander about the large land for weeks to find any trace of other bandits, the risk here rises greatly."
Greeting Sir Scarlett, I look forward to our enigmatic new companion.
I'm good with that plan for our inventory.
I will sell the goods and advance the day, leaving an opening for the introduction of the Scarlet Knight when I post tomorrow. I do have a long weekend at home for the 4th, so could make some progress on the game, if you are willing and available.

I will definitely be available to post if given the opportunity.
Oh, I forgot about the offer to have 100% of the value if we use credit at Oleg's. I think that's the smart option since I don't we'll be finding another shop for awhile.
Objections?
It is 20.8gp for cash, and 41.6 for credit. Just need a decision about that. Usually it takes two votes to make a determination on direction.
I think credit is just fine, as Velas pointed out who else do we spend it on?
I'd vote for credit, yes.
Alright, I am officially home. Safe and sound.
Re:Credit at Oleg's, sure.
I would drop a discord invite, but I do not have permissions to do that.
Out of curiosity, what archetype are you doing, Scarlet?
Archetype at 2nd level? Rogue.
But I believe I am 1st level for now, so no archetype yet.

You can enter at 2nd level that's up to you...
It definitely would help me stay alive ... :)
Very well, I'll update my character sheet.
Been a busy holiday weekend and ran out of time before I got to this game. I'll post ASAP tomorrow morning.
Apologies for the absence, I'm still here. I had a family emergency that preoccupied me the last few weeks. I'm returning home shortly and should be able to return to a more normal posting routine.
Glad you back. Hope your family situation ends up well!
FYI, i assume Faen has disappeared at this point the rhyming knight is a replacement player.
Yes, assumed as much, but as usual I'd like some explanation or at least the characters to notice and remark on his disappearance. That's why I kind of set up a reason for his leaving the line I posted earlier, but I think it was too easy to overlook. I buried the lead on that one.
Looking around he frown, "No guards yet? Perhaps one of our number can be spared to recruit some guards for here, we need to about searching.
Even if you haven't been drawing the terrain so far, you could, for the most part, sketch the major points by memory with a moderate Crafting check. It's not as if you have explored a huge chunk so far. And as you travel back and forth, you can fill in the details.
I made as part of Alvis's background that he is a dwarf that is extremely untalented at crafting which is why he is avoiding doing any.
I'll leave it up to the GM as to whether the Scarlet Knight has faced the same group of people the party already tussled with, or a new group.

Hey guys, I've returned to the boards after sorting out a bunch of RL stuff.
Thought I'd check if I could return here, but I see that you've brought in someone new ( hi SK! ) So if that means my spot is taken....fair enough!
It is definitely not up to me, but I would hope we could both find a space in this game.
Glad to see RL is under control Faen, after no word for quite a while we felt we needed to add another. I'm open to bringing you back in but like TSK said it's not my call.
I've played in 7 player tables. It's honestly fine. Balancing in 2e is surprisingly simple - apply weak/elite template to a part of the creatures to reflect the appropriate encounter XP numbers.
Faen, glad you are back. Hope IRL stuff wasn't too terrible.
FWIW, I'd be up for a 7 person party. Likely makes it easier to more fluidly deal with the inevitable absences due to vacations, etc.

I agree.
It also makes it easier on the GM without having to make a Faen disappeared story.
Welcome back, we can run with 7 and see what happens -- better not die...
