"Hi! Emil Mordrane, at your service" replies Emil, shaking the gnome's hand. "I'm just glad we made it to you on time to help."
Could we get a marker on the main map to indicate what hex we are in?
"Are you an explorer? We're settlers; we've secured a stretch of land from a band in the South Rostland road to some sort of lake. Got a little town there, Summergold. If you need anything, you can probably head there and be relatively safe." At those words his cheerful, adrenaline fueled attitude dampens. "Well. Relatively. WE might have some problems with a creature. We're trying not to get everyone to panic, but if you have silver or mithral weapons, you might want to keep them handy. But forewarned is forearmed, and soon I'll he burning it's remains on a pyre."
He looks back at the others and realizes he's been rambling. "Ahem. Well. Right now we are exploring the land east of Summergold. Trying to reach a place called Varnhold. Heard anything about it?" he asks over Flora's mocking neigh.

Should I try the check again?

"Oh gods. Here we go again" sighs Emil as he nudgess Flora onward.
Can I ride Flora up and try and help on horseback? Or would that be a no-no?

"Yeah, that sounds good" adds Emil distractedly. How could I lure a creature like that out? That monster is like that sea turtle; comfortable in it's domain as we are in ours. Except that in that case, it's a man-eating sea turtle. That roars.
"Hey Turanthe? Do giant turtles eat human flesh?"

"Ok... What do the rest of you think? About them coming here instead of us going there I mean."

"Great work on the militia Kesten! What do we need to help them get better at what they do? Tell me what you need and I'll see to it. Has Kundal the Shoanti come by to see you? I thought he could make a great addition to either our militia. Or whatever he feels like he can make a good contribution to. He's given us his sword arm, and Shoanti only have one word. Or at least that's what we're told down south" offers Emil, looking a little ill-at-ease out of his armor, and often times looking through the aging windows of Owlbear Keep.
Sighing, he turns to sir Montrose. "Can you tell us why he's sought our company? Gods. How long would it take us to get there? Is there no way he or she could come and meet us here? WE kinda sorta maybe have a werewolf problem. Maybe. Possibly. Or a worg-leading beast-man who doesn't take failure all that well. Either way, not a great thing to have around Summergold" he grumbles, his voice heavy with the understatement.
"And now for the thousand gold piece question. How do we trap whatever that thing is? Not to mention kill it. Go ahead, start throwing me some ideas" he asks, looking around the table expectingly.

Looking around, Emil looks peeved. This doesn't make any sense.
Unless it's what we feared. but even then, it's moving away from Summergold.
"This isn't good. We have a smart wolf or worg that just outfoxed us." Emil sighs. "Ok. You say we're going to need magic? Ok. What kind of magic. And are we going to need silver? Or mithral? Or will it be cold iron?"

Looking down into the pit atop Flora, Emil asks "Quick. Someone tell me what the difference between a worg and a wolf is."
Unless anything like a Worg's intelligence is brought to Emil's attention, the plan will be to run it down on horseback.
"Turanthe, Franka, what are our chances of catching up to that lead wolf? And by the gods, what made THAT noise? And why do I get the feeling it's killing those things because they failed? Think we can track that beast down?"
And what the heck do I tell these farmers?

Emil nudges the horse further and thrusts at the wolf!
Lance, Flanking, High Ground?: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Emil gallops around and attempts to skewer the wolf covered in yellow pollen!
Lance: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
"Turanthe! Get on Flora!" yells Emil as the lance finds its mark.
So with two people riding Flora, how would that impact her speed?

Emil clicks his tongue and Flora, in a surprise move, reaches out to bite the blue-tinged wolf, while kicking out at both.
Flora Bite vs Blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Damage?: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Flora Hoof vs Blue: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Flora Hoof vs Orange: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Damage?: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
And while none of the attacks reach, Emil takes the opportunity to tug slightly on the reins, leading Flora back five feet.Away from the beast, he stands back into the stirrups and lances out at the orange maned maned wolf.
Lance: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
"Hold on Turanthe, I'm coming for you!"

I saw that, and I thought to myself "Crap, right as I have no income."
Karma, but hey at least I have something to look forward to for Christmas.

On my tablet, could someone move me?
Emil's danger sense kicked in even before they got in sight of the wolves. At least I pray it's wolves, but I'm already feeling like that isn't going to happen. He moved Flora to the side of the tree even before they knew what was about to happen. A clear path. Better take advantage of it.
Going to take advantage of my foolhardy rush ability to move Flora and Emil around that tree to his right so he has a clear charge lane to ride by purple wolf. That should take 20 feet of movement. Then he will charge purple, and then continue on. At the end of the charge, he will be 80 feet from that tree trunk to his left, a little off the map.
"HOLD ON PEOPLE! ADVENTURERS, PUT THOSE CREATURES DOWN" he shouts, nudging Flora to a full gallop.
Lance vs Purple, Charging: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 = 19

The seasons change, the website comes and goes, but my rolls stay terribly bad.

Alright. Well, I'm sort of partial to the shrine, but if building the mill will make it easier to build things overall, lets go with the mill.

"Gods, how many are left stranded out there? FLORA! GET YOUR SADDLE! shouts Emil as he quickly goes to get his armor on. "Kesten, I need you to hold the place down. Get Kundal and tell him that wolves have been sighted. He is to help you keep things in check over here. I'm going to go deal with this" he quickly fires off as he rushes to buckle himself in before grabbing his weapons.
Please don't let this be more werewolves. Gozreh if you are merciful, don't let this be that.

I must have lost the link or be particularly dense about where the link to the kingdom sheet is as I cannot find it.
I imagine it would be respectful of the aid the Erastillites are giving us to build them a shrine. Although Emil might be worried that we are putting all our support behind one god's cult.
What about upgrading the Keep? Is that a good or smart move?

When I signed up I knew it wasn't for a fast paced game like a scenario. And i also have been guilty of infrequent posting. I am as interested now as I was on the first day. So relax, and do what you must!

Giving Turante a Come on, jeez look, Emil smiles and answers "I hope you're offering your arm along with that sword! Care for a job turning this wild land into a decent place for good people? The pay stinks, the hours are long and my horse will steal any fruit you try and stash away." He chuckles but takes a moment to look murderously toward the mouth of the crypt to the outside, where the swish of a tail can barely be seen.
Shaking his head, his gaze softens back as he continues. "What do you say Kundal of the Shoanti? Wanna build a kingdom" he asks, proffering a hand.

"Turn on you? Kundal, I only have one word" says Emil, clearly offended. "I said I'd help so I will help. I don't do backhanded deals, or any of that crap you might see from the Chels. What you see is what you get. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go prepare a cell for you to rest in at night while you are afflicted." And without another word, he makes his way to the old keep to set things up personally.

I do have a reply for our Shoanti werewolf but I'm too swamped to put it down properly for now. Things should clear up next week.

Emil nods, inwardly relieved Turanthe spoke up this time. "I know this is going to sound lame, oversaid or sound like every other grifter out there, but we really want to help. But we can't help you against your will."

"Pardon me Kundal of the Shoanti, but I need to ask my advisers for advice. Just a second" excuses Emil as he motions for the others to step out of earshot of the man. "So... I think honesty is the best policy, especially since me trying to be suave makes me look like I'm kissing someone's ass. I tell him he's a lycanthrope, or that he might be, and then I ask him if he wouldn't mind spending his nights in a cell ... or bound ... or both or something, while we get someone to Restov to pick up some wolfsbane and whatever else we need in case we give him too much. If you think that's a stupid idea, now's a good time to offer me a better plan, because I'm about to tell him the truth and hope he's a really good person at heart."

I think that Emil would prefer being upfront about what's going on. And Emil would also do his best to help the person. Since this requires high-level cleric-y stuff, he'd probably pay for the right scrolls (or scrolls + herbs).

We know it's a curse. And curses are usually lifted by clerics and the like. The player knows more and really hopes Audsley can join back up with us, as he likely has the right knowledge check for this.

"Well... Sometimes there is more to dreams than you might suspect. Uhm..." Emil looks around, looking for help. How do you tell someone that "Oh by the way, you might be a murderous werewolf."

"Maybe? I mean... We can try. Kundal, how long have you had these dreams? Is it something new? Have you considered... I don't know, talking to a priest or something? I mean, I don't know what Shoanti call their wise men, but usually here priests do have some wisdom. And if you don't trust the faiths represented here, we'll call for other faiths. Who do your people worship that we might worship? Cayden Cailean? Pharasma? Desna? All we have here are clerics or Erastil."

"Good to meet you Kundal" says Emil, lookign for an eloquent way to speak to the man. And as he comes up blank, he instead decides to opt for the direct approach. "I'll speak plainly. The man people saw you drinking with died violently. I'm trying to understand why he died and who killed him. I have a duty to protect everyone here, whether they need protection or not, and while I don't expect you to agree with it, I expect you to respect that it is the custom here, as I will respect you and your ways. If you know of anything that can help me fulfill my duty, please tell me" he implores, his hands held in an expression of helplessness, before dropping them by his sides. "I know, I ask a lot of questions. We all are. But our questions are not made to accuse like those of a Chelish lawman. We want to understand. And you might be the only one who can help us."

Emil nods at Janna with a look of relief clear on his face. "General Janna here is better at talking than I am sometimes" he comments with a somewhat forced jovial tone as he walks into the hovel. "Ok. Often times. But yes, as the Magister said. We're curious. Also, I'm curious about new folk, especially when they are from afar. And it doesn't get that much farther than Varisia from where we are. If you don't mind of course. It's clear you value your privacy."

"Hi! I'm Lord Emil Mordrane, ruler of Summergold. I was wondering if we could talk? Although I would prefer if we talked around some wine. And not out in the street if at all possible" starts Emil with a smile that fails to hide perhaps some apprehension given that the man has drawn steel. Gods? It's Emil again. Not having a fight in the middle of town would be nice

"I honestly just want to talk to him" replies Emil with a helpless shrug. "So yeah. Let's knock. Can't hurt. Thanks Billy, here's five gold for your folks, and five for you. Don't be like me and spend it on dumb things" he offers the child with a wink and a handful of coins. Once he leaves Emil continues "So yeah; I'll knock and we're just asking questions. This could be a really bad misunderstanding" he finishes, his hand raised to knock on the door.

Emil grins and winks back at the others. "Well then, I think we should go meet him. He certainly has traveled far from home; I'd like to talk to a man like that."
Turning back, he asks Billy: "You think you could show us?" he asks, half to the boy, half to the owner. "You'll be back quick as a flash. Cross my heart, Audsley will pay." And before the spymaster can retort, Emil strides out coaxing the boy to follow along.

"The Shoanti? Does the Shoanti have a name" asks Emil, concerned but not expecting much of an answer. Getting back up, he tossles the kid's hair. "Well, thanks Billy. I think maybe that Shoanti saw something." Turning back to the others he adds "Should we go talk with the Shoanti?"

"Billy huh? Nice to meet you. Where'd ya come from huh? You come here with your folks to settle?" asks Emil conversationally, dropping down on his haunches so that he may be eye to eye with the kid. "What'd you think of the name huh? Summergold? That elf lady over there came up with it" he says with a wink before whispering "She's a Princess you know. And Princesses always come up with the best names for nice things." He chuckles. "I'd like to keep Summergold nice for her, but that man who got killed... It bothers her. So I'm trying to find out what happened so she doesn't get upset with me and starts kicking me in the butt. Princesses are allowed to do that you know. It's a law. Can you help me not get my butt kicked? Maybe you saw something?"

Emil puts on his best smile and walks up to the boy. "Hey there fellah, what's your name?"
I'd post more, but I want to see if he's going to bolt.

Emil nods, looking appreciatively around.

"Unless they think they can control it sooner or later" replies Emil. "I'd like to see if the person is feeling guilty or not. If it is that thing we're thinking of."

Emil scratches his head. "Huh. Good question. I suppose we try to cure him or her? Unless they don't want to be cured. That'll make it kinda complicated, won't it." He sighs, looking up to the heavens for some form of guidance. "If that happens, I'll have to make a decision that's for the good of the many. Another decision to live with." He lowers his head and shakes it with a grim smirk. "I just hope I won't be living with a crappy one."

Emil nods in agreement with Turanthe's eager statement. "Yes" he says as he rises from his seat. "Thank you for your time Father Jhod. You have given us much to think about. I can only hope we have done the same for you" he adds darkly before stepping away and into the street. Once everyone has followed he'll comment, a little more jovially, and certainly more in keeping with his old self: "Ok! That went well. Right? Anyway. Let's go to that Inn before it gets dark."

"Good point Janna" comments Emil darkly. "So how do we get the right kind of weapon without sending the wrong message? And where do we start to prove things one way or the other? Should we try laying a trap? How do we go about that?"

Emil nods slowly, this latest revelation clearly troubling him in many respects. "Before we continue on, I'm just going to put this out there. There will be no mob justice. No "gathering of good souls to protect against the evils without". There are guards for that and we pay them very well to do their job to the best of their ability. If anyone starts pulling any of those stunts off, they will be facing off with me either before or after they enact their brand of "justice". Only after, I'll be mounted and they won't. Am I crystal clear?" states Emil in an unusually harsh, deadly tone.
He takes a minute to think. "So there are similarities. Could you tell us more about who the people involved where? People, lycanthropes... Anyone who had a major part in that sad story. And being dead isn't a good reason to omit them from the tale. What did you learn last time about lycanthropes that you believe we should know?" He sighs, feeling very weary all of a sudden. "Where do we even begin with this Franka?"

I'm sorry, I really am, I've been wanting to get my thoughts together on what questions to ask but this week has not been kind to me. I am going to think about it for tomorrow and post.
Still here, still active, just... Busy with a couple other things.
Sorry!

Ok, so what kind of foot traffic are we looking at here, going through town/living in Summergold? Was last night a full moon? Does this region of the Stolen Lands have a reputation for anything beyond fey? Where there any incidents before the ones being mentioned from communities from afar?
I second visiting Jhod.

"I don't have a beard, I never will and please don't start using expressions like that..." whines Emil. Next thing you know it'll be "By the King's leg, by the King's left nostril. Gods.

Yes, I do have a number of questions, which I was hoping to ask to the important NPCs and Emil's companions. Is it possible to have a talk with Father Kavken and Mother Evanor? Was it a full moon the night prior to the last death?
So, as a matter of preference, would you want us to just post our questions in bulk? Or would you like to do it as a step by step thing. I do understand that the second option is more time consuming and translates better in F2F. I'm not sure how well it works here, especially since we are more relaxed with how often we post.
"You know what? I also think we should chat with Mother Evanor. Maybe she has some insight we can use in our talk with Father Kavken. Guys? Your thoughts" asks Emil as he rises from his seat, setting his letter aside.
