GM E! How goes things on your end? Also, I'm back!
A friendly heads up that May 13th to the 17th I'll be attending a leadership conference and will have limited posting ability. Sorry if I should hold anything up, please feel free to bot me!
"Sounds good. Hopefully shouldn't be much reason to question us."
"If we follow them, probably best to have one of us follow while the others follow our watcher. Or another possibility is to have two watchers, make it seem like each aren't aware of the other, just in case one does get caught."
"Always criminals to step up to take over when you take out the competition. But gotta start somewhere to keep everyone safe."
Here's a more organized breakdown of loot. I notice we have a small map and some keys that I couldn't find any specific mention of whether we made further rolls on. Also I couldn't find a list of what we found on the bandits themselves. Though I'm not sure we specifically mentioned that or not. Gems
Coins
Armor
Weapons
Other
So before I said I'd try to find time to accumulate a list of loot. Well, only took nearly a month :) This is what I was able to find, but it seems some may be doubled up. Posting this here as a worksheet and will try to make it look organized in the next post I make. Loot link 1
Loot link 2
Two broken sets of armour which, if repaired, show signs of high-quality workmanship: broken masterwork splint mail and broken masterwork leather armour. A small, glass mirror, obviously valuable but hard to assess worth appraise check needed. A peculiar saddle with feather designs masterwork exotic saddle. In the shack you also find a small, locked strongbox. The dead man with the silver sword has the key on a thong around his neck. Loot link 3
Her fist, when un-clenched, contains a round, flat piece of black stone. The black is faultless and uniform in colour: the deep blackness of a fresh seam of coal. The stone disk like a small ice-hockey puck contains a deeply incised image of grotesque bat-like creature. It feels unexpectedly heavy and cold in your hand. Loot link 4

"So how do we want to do this? Seems we have three major options. Head to his shop, feel the place out. Pay a visit to his home in Oca Vicolo. Or try to find out where these tieflings in Rego Cader are. His companions, might be beneficial to learn more about 'em, but I worry if we start askin' more questions, word will get back to him. Hell, might be good to give it a few days to calm down before we move."
Hyngrot isn't far behind Angus, tracker's instinct the only thing keeping him quiet having given in to drink himself. "The lad could learn a little control, but gotta give him some credit. He knows how to find a good tavern, and not just for the drinks. We've got a lead to follow, but I think that'll be waiting until tomorrow. For now, I think I'll be sleeping this off."
Hyngrot allows himself to be lead to the tavern Angus found, though he spends more time watching the clientele than helping Angus ask about Scarro.
Hyngrot grunts before speaking, "Not finding much here. Easier to just bash heads in. Might as well try it."
Regarding loot, I won't have much chance until this weekend, but I could try to compile a list when I can. But my schedule is kinda hellish at present. If someone else would rather do it, let me know. Otherwise I'll see what I can do.
"Well, let's head out, Angus. Nicolai and Larko should be fine. Figure best to ask around about this ED, and this Scarro. See what we can dig up."
"Nicolai should bring some help, just in case. If those were poison supplies, good chance investigating it might be dangerous." Hyngrot looks at Angus for a moment, then shakes his head. "Might be best, in fact, to send Angus with him instead. And you still need a name. Pontia, you got one of those fancy names for this guy? I worry Scarro's men might recognize him from whatever they chose to lock him up for. I'll just be another half-orc to them. Might want to bring Larko too in case he does remember it."
Hyngrot scowls at Angus's outburst, but isn't quick enough to stop the chuckle he let's out at Daxius's response. "Aside from that for now, the mark. Do you think Sclavo might know it, or figure out who it belongs to? It'd be good to know who we're dealing with. Or one of the others, possibly Larko or Rizzardo?"
"He'll need one if he's going to work with us." Hyngrot helps deposit the bodies into Pontia's pit. "Let's get this done and get back then. The sooner the better."
Sounds right to me. As for the camp, I'm not seeing much reason to do anything with it at this point. Maybe burn it, but that'd draw too much attention. Opinions, something I may be missing?
Hyngrot sneers when Nicolai mentions poison. "Agreed, about packing it up. We'll head back to Westcrown after." Hyngrot begins moving the lid back in place, using his warhammer for a less bashing in heads purpose. "So what's our next step from here?"
Here's some rolls using the greatsword as a lever :p:
"No one's talking about keeping whatever is in the crates, the concern is what's in them." Hyngrot leaps down from the wagon, searching about for a stick of some form to provide leverage. "I don't recognize that symbol, and going by no one else saying anything seems pretty much all of us." Finding a good stick he comes back to the wagon. "Now it could be rolls of silk or pretty vases. Or it could be the bodies of kids disguised for some vile magicky type. No offense to you Scholar, you ain't vile. But either way, I want to know what they were stealing. Unless you still have a problem, Soldier?" Hyngrot takes the crate and gets to work opening it.
"Well, if no one knows the symbol, might as well open the thing up and see what we find, maybe tell us what it is." Hyngrot works to open the crates.
"No. Let's take a look. Gonna check to see if they rigged it somehow."
Hyngrot examines the area surrounding the wagon. "It looks like they used the stream to mask their tracks and scent. If we follow it, we might find something. Or we can return."
Angus and Daxius: "Hmph, damn. Best to keep an eye out then. And to take the owl down if you see it again."
"The paths sounds like our plan." Angus & Daxius (and I guess the GM too):
"About where did you see 'em?" "While you all get things ready, I need to go relieve myself." GM:
I'll go whever Angus indicates and attempt to take a look around for tracks while relieving himself.
"Yup, we'll take point."
LOL!! Sorry about that, can't believe I did that. Just used to rolling 20s I guess. If you want me to reroll, I'm more than happy to do so. Just let me know what you want me to do. Also just a heads up I'm in a hotel for the next two weeks with the worst internet I've ever seen in my life. Takes forever to load ANY website. Just in case I seem to disappear, feel free to bot me if needed.
/facepalm I'm even in a CC game at present, so the town was familiar enough to me to recognize the name. Just couldn't figure out the connection. As stated my plan is Westcrown for the favored community, if that's acceptable with GM Elberion.
Perhaps I'm confused by something. I thought we were in Westrcrown (well, at present the surrounding environs of it). In fact searching Gameplay and Discussion, the only Ravengro reference I found was yours above. No snark intended, honestly curious. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. My plan is to take Westcrown. If this is a tad too open a choice and would rather limit it, I do understand and would ask how to do so.

Hyngrot will volunteer for 2nd or 3rd watch (when it's darkest out).
"I've heard cutting off the head keeps 'em from coming back. Not that I'm all for butchering bodies. I'll be answering to the Lady in the Boneyard one day too. Guess we take her with, find a spot in the morning and do it? "As far as that thing she's holding, you won't hear any arguements from me on destroying that thing. I'll leave it up to you knowledgable types."
"If we're done here, how about back to camp now?" Hyngrot brings the boat back around to head to shore. "And you, nice job retrieving the body."
Hyngrot steers the boat next to the witch for Pontia, helping her as needed. "Probably best if we get to shore and camp out. We can get supplies from the bandit's camp, but I'd rather not use the same one."
Hyngrot screams out in rage as the tentacle strikes him, dropping the drawn javelin in favor of his scimitar.
"Yea, and whatever it is, it's a lot bigger than that witch, and it's moving. Stand ready!" Hyngrot continues to ready his javelin.
Hyngrot strains himself to push the boat forward, feeling the burning as his wounds start to reopen. "Feel free...to magic...them...anytime now."
Hyngrot focuses on the rowing, bringing the boat closer to the gnomes.
Just to let everyone know, tomorrow night I'll be attending a work holiday party, then Sunday I leave to Florida for a week. I'll try to make sure everything's as up to date as I can before the party tomorrow, but after that probably won't be able to post until at the hotel Sunday night. I should be able to post every night while in Florida, but if there's a delay it'd be work related. I come back next Friday if I completely disappear during this time for some reason.
"We'll lose them if we don't take the boats. I'll steer one with Scholar and the new meat, Crafter and Soldier take the other?"
Wow, Xmas is over! Gotta say this has been a draining one for me. Hope everyone had a good holiday season (for those who celebrate). Looking over my PBPs this morning, I realize it's been a bigger interruption than I thought it would be. So going through and apologizing to all my games for the somewhat unexplained absence and getting updates in as applicable. Yea, the shutdown also didn't help much. Kept seeming the site was down every time I checked for a couple days there.
"If we're goin' after her, best stay quiet as we move so we don't give ourselves away."
