That should work, Im a vet from Mendev with a little time on tour in Lastwall and the area. Likely before your time, but who knows. I left it a bit vague on purpose to help fit with the others as needed and fill in as we go.

Then I'll go ahead and do it. I'm not entirely sure what all resources I have in 5E to do so. I have a Cure Light Wounds spell, but is that anything else? I'll go ahead and use that now. Preferably after making sure he's secured and can't grab anything to beat on us with).

Hearing the cry, and despite his demeanor, actually having no wish to cause harm, burning the place down is actually the last thing he wants to do, I'll grab that bucket, and start rushing up just as fast as his little dwarven legs will carry him.
Would I be able to use Thaumaturgy to help here, (a bit later). The Cantrip kind of seems a little bit open ended as to what it might accomplish. I mean in the sense of within reason, would that be an option worth attempting?

Again, on my turn (if I get one) will start making my way up towards the noise. No armor or warhammer.
Actually on second thought, I'm not entirely sure what the scene looks like. Is the upstairs on a balcony we could see, or turning into a hallway we can't really see? Also, my goal was to basically lock the door, to make sure no one else came to help. Was I able to do tat, or just close it? If not, and there is a reasonably easy way to do that, I'll do that instead, then try to close/lock any other doors I can see.

Saying this more to see his reaction than advocating burning the town down. Playing Devil's Advocate in a sense.
After listening for a while, to let it all sink in, "Back in my days in Mendev, sometimes we'd go an make our way over to the Thunder Step."Realm of the Mammoth Lords"Sometimes to Ustalav, too. It was always strange, talkin' with those beast riders. They are tribal people. A lot of tradition, strong warriors. Generally good folk. And they sort of had a mentality of "the Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend", and since we both hated the Wound, that made us kinda of friends. So when we went there, it was to try to help out where we could. Strengthening bonds, introducing ourselves, see about trading, that sort of thing. But somethin' I always found really interestin', and I've found it too be more or less true all over, see, when we would go to one tribe, they would always tell us what's what around them. They where sort of set up so that most of the tribes kind of left each other alone most of the time, and generally the next tribe was camped about a day away. Fences makin' good neighbors and all that.
"But it seemed everywhere we went, all the tribes we talked to and made friends with, well they would tell us about the other tribes in the area, always just two or three villages away. An' almost every time, what we would hear is that the next tribe over, they are ok, but a little strange. Generally okay, but reckless. Like a little too close to the chaos or the darkness, and almost but not quite bestial. But, every tribe that was two villages away, they where always,. . . corrupted. They'd strayed too far from safety, delved too much into dark magics, and they had become like beast-men. Couldn't be trusted. Not evil, just not "human", and anyone that got too close, well they risked it, too."
"Anyway, jus' an ol' mem'ry, pay no attention. How long did you say you've been out here on your own, sir?"

Army life has taught me something very important. There are three groups of people you don't ever want to have not like you. Medics, goes without saying. They guys/gals that deal with sanitation (toilets, showers, water, etc), and the people that control food! Always tip highly.

"Got anything from the Five Mountains area?"If yes, I'll take 2. If no, I'll just get "a beer"
"Whatever you have a cookin'. And a few eggs. A bowl of stew, maybe? Some bread. Cheese. And this," slidding over 6sp for the meal and an extra 4sp for tip, "is for all your hard work. Thanks, mate. We appreciate what you do."

Just wanted to point out that Erastil isn't really the patron of archery at all, but rather hard work, community, hunting (in the survival sense, and animals and plants.
As far as I can tell, 5E doesn't really give any room for Clerics to use "Favored Weapons" proficiently.
So it makes perfect sense that they would have dogs, (both as protectors and for hunting) as far as what I have seen so far in game. A bit odd, but not wrong.

Would Mending or Thaumaturgy help at all on the mattresses? If so, I'll go ahead and do that for everyone.
Party:
"I'm startin' to think that ol' Gustav is, well, full of crap. First he tells us he and his buddy came looking for food stuffs, and while he stayed at the inn, his friend for many years just vanishes. Next he fled, not bothering to even look for his buddy, swearing never to come back, but then we convince him to as long as we protect him. But he runs into the dark and mist at the slightest hint of danger when we are obviously protecting him. Then the first people we meat, on the way into town, mind you, recognizes him. Now, he wants to go stay at the inn, cause this isn't good enough for him? I call BS."

My weapons are a Warhammer and a sling. I'm imagining I could easily conceal the sling, but the warhammer is a larger weapon of war, and not something that can easily be confused as a common tool, (such as a smith's hammer).
I also have a Chain Mail suit and Shield, which I'm not certain about. I'd imagine the shield fits in the same place as armor, and just not commonly worn. The chain shirt, though, not certain how most would view it, or how easily it would be to conceal/be out of place for a dwarf.
On the one hand, I would think it would generally be fairly easy to hide (from view though not hearing) under cloths, but on the other, part of my clothing is a crusader's tabard from Mendev, which likely infers warrior type and armor underneath.
So, I'm fine either way on armor. If we can find a place to stop and secure our gear, I don't mind taking it off, (though the hammer does have some clan importance, and I wouldn't just leave it sitting around).

That's actually exactly what I will do, wanting to stay in the back and not really speak just yet, so I can get an idea of how things are here. We actually where warned a few times that no one really walks around towns and farms in armor or with weapons, and that most people are very xenophobic, distrusting outsiders (and generally with good reason).
Getting the impression that she is not going to offer much help right now, for whatever reason, I'll pull my cloak a little tighter around me, hiding my armor and hammer at my belt (and holy symbol), I'll play up the uncouth dwarf a bit, "Lets get somethin' ta eat, yur killin' me here. Lady don' like ya, so let's go, an stop botherin' the pretty girl. Maybe if ya learned to pick up an axe instead of yur fancy bat poo and hocus-pocus,. . . An', who cares about dogs. Everyone loves dogs. Dey help yah kills the bad thin's and helps you get supper for yur cla, yur fam-il-ee. What's wrong with that? Loyal friends, you ask me."
Mishnah, huh. A priestess that has a servant. That's. . . interesting. Still, too many other things that we don't know to just assume she's off the path But, Mishnah. Mishnah. He thinks, trying to make sure he remembers that name for later.
I play a lot of PFS, and one of the common themes for my characters is they keep a journal, not trusting the "higher ups" to get it right or not white-wash it all. So, basically trying to take a mental note in that same vein. :)

Seeing the large stone temple, Beckett is a bit, uneasy, but doesn't comment on it. Not on first impression at least, as usual, keeping silent on matters until he has had the time to weigh the possibilities on all sides.
@ DM: Is it correct to assume that the only two large, stone, rich-looking buildings in the town are this <cathedral> and the Mayor's home? Does everything else seem more on the destitute side? Secondly, just how large/populated is this town? It seems sort of a ghost town, and the Tavern is closed (from what we can see), but it has two open inns. <I'm just trying to get a better picture of things based on what we can see, not "metagame" knowledge.>

Placing a hand on the Rex's shoulder as they walk away, "Don' you worry about it. It takes time for most folks to learn to trust. I encountered it a bunch, back, well back in Mendev. You really cant blame 'em. There is a lot of bad folk out, too many willing to do anything to get what they want, regardless of who it hurts."
"But that's what's gonna set us apart. We can walk the harder road, and earn their respect, and trust. It takes time, and it takes work. It may never even happen, but if it does, it will be worth it, I promise you. Just keep at it."
I completely forgot about it. One of the things I had loved about the earlier 5E Playtests was the idea of a sort of concept cleric, rather than a Cleric of <insert deity>, it was a Cleric of the god/pantheon/ideal of Healing and Life, or Death, Magic, etc. . . That seems to have gone away, or it might be that the core book assumes F.R. as the setting. Personally, I'd rather go with the Patron deity idea of healing/goodness/"The Light", but if you need or prefer, I'll probably go with Erastil. A lot of deities fit, and part of me wants to go Torag, but I'm not really to interested in being Dwarven-centric.

"Well, friend, that and we are a bit new around these parts. Heard there was a bit of trouble, and well, we are offerin' to help. My name's Chaplin Beckett. We mean you no harm.

I'm pretty sure what's wrong is they see us and are hiding.
Sorry for the delay, I really only generally get to read/post 2 or 3 times a day on the weekdays. Feel free, if I'm holding it up, to "bot me. I've included my main attack in the stat block. Generally, I want to use hammer for close combat, Sacred Fame for ranged, and reserve spells for when needed. I try to be helpful and fair.

Sorry, let me clarify. I have not read the XP rules at all, so what I meant was to me, 20 Xp, 200 Xp, or a billion, I'm not sure what exactly that means.
:)
Now, that being said, we level when we level, (and honestly I have not even read the leveling rules yet), though am looking forward to finally being able to Turn Undead. Why that's not a level 1 ability, I have no freeing idea. It's always been ne of my favorite abilities, flavor wise (well, Turning/Destroying). I don't know that I like the idea of finally being a full character/class at level 2.

I must have missed it. When did Gustav flee? I would have charged after him (even leaving the safety of the party if needed). Promised him we would keep him safe.

Just before the others are revealed
"Can you turn off that damned light. Yur gonna let everything know where we are, and some of us are trying to sleep. . ." as he begins to lay down again, closing his yes.
"Bloody hell!"sitting back up, I'll begin to (take my time) standing back up, stretch, and grab my shield and hammer, and make my way back over towards Gustav.

Still groggy, "Turn out that damned light, will ya."
Grabbing his family's sacred hammer, and grasping his old holy symbol, he offers a short pray, asking for strength and to smite those that would attack his new family.
Ancient dwarven runes and glyphs of power begin to glow in the night's air, lighting it and the fog in a strange, yet spiritual and serene way as a single beam of pure light flies down from the very stars towards on of the serpentmen.
Using Guided Bolt. It's a Ranged Touch Attack for 4d6. I think I did this right. +2 for proficiency and Spellcasting Ability is Wis (+3) = +5 to attack.
@ DM, I wasn't sure if our Round 1 action included standing, but if I can during Round 2, I'd like to move in front of Gustav, keeping my word to protect him, even if that means taking the his for him.

I'm not really sure I understand, so let me say it a different way. In most other editions, Spellcasters required an 8 hour rest period to refresh their spells per day (and this generally applied to anyone that had an ability to use something a number of times per day).
I was trying to find out in 5th Edition if there was a sort of 8 hours rule or if it's more assumed that we do a "long rest" and assumed everyone is fine. This is important because if it's the former, we need to work out a schedule (or hand wave it) so that all the spellcasters are ok. Generally, divine casters didn't require sleep, just to try to regain their abilities at a certain time of day. From what I recall of 4E it was just short rests and long rests, and it was very generic, (long rest refreshed everything).
On the other question, I'm perfectly fine with you rolling things as needed. I run a lot of games too, so I get it.

Ok. I just wasnt sure. I did think of another question. Im still reading, but it might be pertinent, wspecially with so many casters.
How does sleeping/long rest work for prepping spells/abilities? Specifically as to getting interupted and not enough rest?
Or do we need to plan our rest around casters?
Secondly, was a little confused on the spoiler. It looked like you rolled a 1 which was me. Was that for the watch, or "something maybe happens"? Didnt know if I should roll or not.
