Yeah, dropping him off there seems appropriate.
GM, I have a quick question. In my most recent backstory exposition for Rasmus, I added his Grandfather's Journal to his equipment list (for roleplaying purposes, no practical use). I also went into more detail about Rasmus' Grandfather's sword, which it was revealed is the sword he uses now. As I get more experience and money, I was going to try to improve my sword, bit by bit, and say Rasmus is probing the contents of the book and "unlocking" hidden secrets in the sword, but still realistically paying all the costs and everything.
Does this fit in with the style of the game, or would you prefer I stick with the normal style of upgrading (i.e. seeking out a craftsman or wizard or some such and paying them to improve the item)?
Whichever you pick would work for me, I was just wondering which would work best for the setting.
Also, I have a question. Based on Rasmus' encounters with the followers of Braal in his backstory, I'm assuming he'd be pretty unnerved by this possible resurfacing of a similar cult, but I don't really have any evidence to go on. Even if that's not what's really going on, I think Rasmus would think that it is. Is there anyone Rasmus would be able to talk to, using the proper diplomacy and social rolls, to try to investigate this?
Right now, I'd like to post, but I'm having trouble thinking of what Rasmus should do. He doesn't really know that much about the divine, that belongs to the clerics and druids, and he doesn't know much at all about magic and wizardry. He might know a thing or two from his time in the Salt Marshes, but based on his level, he probably wouldn't know much, just snippets he's heard from travelers.
If nothing else presents itself, he can just go to some taverns and start trawling for rumors about the situation, whatever you all think is best.

I actually prefer this style of upgrading an item. It keeps the heirloom aspect of the item come alive. Bonding you and your grandfather by unlocking things from his past that ties to the present. Think legacy weapons.

A common rumor of the town is that there is the rise of a Braal cult in the town. This would be something your character would have heard and hunting for more info on.
Okay, thank you!
Based on this information, Rasmus would definitely be interested in this, despite the spooky atmosphere. His one driving goal is to hunt down and destroy Elara and the other cultists of Braal to clear his name and restore honor to his family. Though his father is probably dead by this point, as far as Rasmus knows (He'd be around 80ish, but who knows...), most likely his oldest brother Alaric has ascended to the title of Lord Winbald. Alaric never liked Rasmus that much, and the scandal made him hate Rasmus even more, but if Rasmus clears his name, he thinks that Alaric might let him come back to the manor and see his family again.
That sounds good. I have really enjoyed your additional writings with your postings. I say keep it up! Gives me some fuel for the future.
Also, wanted to do a wellness check and see how everyone has been doing. Things really tailed off the second half of the week. I also know that many people/families take Columbus weekend as a final trip/vacation before the fall/winter kicks in.
Sorry, some RL Stuff with housemates and friends came up and my posting was neglected. Will try to respond tomorrow

Not a problem, I like to do a general check in when things kind of slow down. Hope all clears up for you.
Pretty sure Klaus is in the Scared category if that's still active. I've failed at least 3 Will saves so far.
Okay. I'll change that. thanks for keeping me honest. If I miss something please let me know.
@Dargy I just saw that you posted right before mine yesterday.
Note to self, look above my new post incase that happens again.
