The Hopeknife Festival is an important coming of age event for the local youths in Trunau, a stubbornly independent town within the orc-held land of Belkzen. The lively event is joyous and the whole town comes together to celebrate their history of standing against the orcs that have raided the town numerous times. You celebrate with the people, getting to know the townsfolk and enjoying the pleasant atmosphere, unaware that disaster will strike tonight and will lead to a growing threat to all of Avistan.

    I imagine Robin probably spends more hours than is healthy at Clamour, but is kicked out in the evenings and has lodgings (and perhaps a bit of a kindred spirit) with the Meesons at That'n'such.

    Yes. You remember correctly. He would happily stay in any low-quality/squalid area that tolerates him for the night. The Ramblehouse seemed like the right choice.

    Vethorm, obviously, will return home to his parents' house once things wind down.

    Question, how much of those spoilers would Vethorm just know off the bat, being the townie of the group and a friend of the Grath brothers?

    I'd say those up to DC 12 would make sense. It's also to know what people are talking about, not necessarily the truth.

    Hey folks, I am sorry but I likely won't post until late tonight and I most likely will not post again after that until Sunday. I got a wedding to go to tomorrow and staying overnight. Thanks.

    Thanks for your patience. It was a good, but LONG weekend. And Hilde, I completely get it. Post as often as you can and we can keep the pace a little slower if needed.

    Hey guys, just a heads up, I am unlikely to post tomorrow and possibly not until late Tuesday. I will try if I can and I will try to post more tonight if needed.

    In addition, I am working on a Treasure Google sheet. I have one that I modified recently based on one I saw else where, but I need to test it a little more if possible. We will see.

    I may be able to catch up in a day or so...while on travel I got sick, came home early, and spent a couple of days in hospital. Home now, slowly recovering.

    I was asked what spell I would want, if I could cast any one D&D spell irl (Pathfinder being close enough for my brain). Actual Restoration, as long as I didn't have to come up with the components, would be great. I chose Teleport, however.

    I also was the finder in my household, though it tended to be less gift more just observation when things were out of place. It doesn't help when I intentionally put things in a "safe" place. Also, this ability has faded as I have gotten older, as have many other things.

    And Hilde, sorry to hear about the hospital. I can understand coming back from a trip with illness. My last big vacation ended with being sick upon returning.

    I still have this ability. I was just talking to my mother about my sister's new job.

    "Oh, I have a business card from that business before they changed name a decade back, it's in my padfolio in one of the inner pockets from a job fair in 2012. The padfolio is in my storage unit, second tote on the left."

    Sorry folks for taking an extra day. I knew I would likely be too tired to post on Monday regardless, but I wasn't aware that I would be unable to type on a computer for two whole days. Should be good for now though. Thanks for your patience.

    Hey guys. I will try to post this weekend if possible, but it is my wife's birthday and we have two parties basically, and I have to play host for both of them. If I get the chance I will respond, but it may have to wait. Enjoy the weekend.

    Thanks for the patience folks. That was a hell of a roller coaster of sick. Fever, a cough from hell to the point of keeping me from sleeping for two nights, and a runny nose like a 5 year old. I usually get hit hard physically when sick, but this time my brain was all fuzzy as well. That is not usual.

    Hopefully this will be the last such delay for a few weeks, though I am taking a trip out of country in late June early July. It's actually a Board Game Cruise, so I will still be gaming to some degree, just not via this format.

    They do have cruises for everything. 90s cruise. JoCo cruise. About 5-10 different gaming cruises. My problem is how overpriced those are compared to just... cruises.

    A few quick notes on how I intend to run combat. Most of these are in order to speed things up.

    1. I will be rolling initiative at the beginning of combats.
    2. I am not exactly using block initiative, but I do welcome you to post actions as you are able to regardless of actual initiative order within certain groups. I will apply my best attempt to interpret the actions. In the event there is a conflict I will default to the actual initiative order and I assure you that in the event an action becomes invalid, I will ask for an alternative. The intention is to speed things up, not invalidate someone’s turn.
    3. In terms of Knowledge checks, I welcome each player to make one (1) Knowledge check each turn if they wish. I am providing the results as spoilers and I will make my best effort to provide the more useful information. Again, this is to speed things up, not to add challenge or frustration.
    4. I am going to try to make some tokens for the group, using the art some of you have loaded in various places. For now though the default ones are on the map.

    As always, I welcome feedback. If something isn’t working out we can certainly modify things or even scrap it. Thanks.

    We stayed in Brookfield, I think it's called, about a half-hour drive from Milwaukee itself. We mostly visited the Art Museum (and there was a pop-up beer garden outside it that we visited for lunch). Then we got surprised that my sister and her partner were in the area, since my sister's partner grew up in the area, so she invited us to visit her and her parents for dinner, so we spent the evening eating pizza and chatting long into the night. Then yesterday we departed and drove to the House on the Rock! Spent about 3 or 4 hours in there, and then we drove home.

    It was kind of light in terms of doing stuff, but now that we know our way around there, we can plan more stuff to see next time we visit!

    OK, so just a quick heads up. I will be travelling soon so, after Wednesday my access will be spotty at best and I won't be returning until July 6th. So, we should likely hit pause on it come Thursday morning (EST) and probably not resume until Monday the 7th.

    Until then, I plan to try to wrap things up with Sara if we can. If we can't I will just commit to rereading things and get back into place as quickly as I can. Thanks.

    Just so you know, Trisane_Imphawke, I, Archpaladin Zousha, the player, find Wild's antics hilarious, even though it seems he and Vethorm are off to a rough start (more due to Vethorm's baggage than anything Wild's actually done). ;)

    Awesome! I'm having a blast with the character and our interactions so far as well. Looking forward to unearthing more of everyone's backstories together.

    I know I'm walking the fine line between comic relief and chaos so if anyone ever feels it too disruptive to the game, please let me know and I can reel it in.
