I'm first time DMing with Carrion Crown. Immediately after the funeral and wake the PCs decide to go to Harrowstone. They stay for the will reading, then ask how the professor died, why he was at Harrowstone, and how it burned down.

They wanted to go before and after questions. I managed to distract them with loot with the church, but they didn't want to bother with the townspeople and went straight to the mausoleum.

The session ended just after checking out the town statue and being accused of desecrating it. They have no interest in The Whispering Way even though they are going to avenge Petros's death. They know nothing about the five prisoners,which make up most of the atmosphere.

What do I do?

I feel like I'm behind in managing my armor and weapons. I'm told essentials are expensive things like enchanting my weapon, getting masterwork everything, and grabbing at least one wand if I can use magic.

But all that is a serious drain on expenses that loot doesn't make up for and I prefer to buy useful stuff or items for character flavor.

I joined my campaign for plot, but all we've been finding is food, clothes, and non-magical rods.

Is this something to expect? How much should I focus on making sure my armor and AC and HP are at their best? At what level should I focus on them? At what level can I focus on looking at other equipment?

Aasimars and (I think) half-elves can take feats and cast spells where the prerequisite is 'human' (with the right racial features).

Does this mean they can take human-specific archetypes of classes?

Are there ways other races can qualify as humans, such as feats, spells, or items?
