Yeah thats muy importante to say the least.. At least it was after taxes so you might actually have a bit and luckily computers get cheaper and cheaper.
No rush, just makin sure everything is going right. I know the struggle of a new place. Making sure everything is up to snuff, painting remodeling.. crippling debt .. for a moment.
That sucks nards. I've don that before, working 12's is alot of dough, but it wears on you quickly when things like seeing the sun go up AND down and still working kicks in. I'll be glad to continue whenever you are ready. Jin had a few things he wanted to complete but Im not sure you've had time to think about the world or this game because of RL.
I hope everyone has had a fine time so far.I had a idea that was brewing but as of right now am a little scatterbrained. I hope jimi's situation is going swell.
Alrighty.
Jin nods agreeing with the wisdom of the Elder as clearly he had thought ahead on the matter. " So sheer numbers from two fronts should quell them. "
Jin nods having a similar question, " I was curious in the process as well. No doubt I would attempt to defend the village as well with my life but we can throw only so many at the creature, It will not allow us to pummel it at range without recourse. "
Jin is taken aback by the sheer wealth being bestowed to them but quickly recovers himself as the proper thing to do at this time would be to distribute the wealth. He made sure each person got an equal share about 200pp each. " We will Elder. If you ever feel the need to call on The Hunting Party we shall be here. As all of your decisions are for the betterment of our village in your accumulated wisdom. " Jin goes over the people he owed a favor to and begins filtering what would be the best way to repay them.
Jin straightens up once more unbuckles a few areas and releases other straps to show the bag the cache was in that he cleverly hid within the making of the large tent. " I had not informed the group before as it seemed like you wanted this to be a last resort. You will be glad to know that the cache was not needed to be used for the negotiation. I shall return it to your capable hands Elder. " Jin begins placing out to the man.
" It would not matter even if they had such items as they would be reliant on our providing them with the materials to create proper maintenance. Our supply is much more grand as well and the act of slaying that bear clearly showed our status. Another thing is that I am not a liar and when it comes to negotiations it is normally frowned upon to promise one thing but not deliver. "
" That is something I believe should be a small amount for now. Showing them the product first before establishing large quantities. They simply wished to examine our wares, so to speak. Would you say One loads worth about 10-15 would suffice? "
" Their offer would be assistance and a alliance against the Giants Sir. Upon demonstration of our being truthful with the weapons I'm sure the other end, cultural, weapon, techniques will come along with it. "
Jin salutes the Elder in a respectful and militaristic way. " On route the party encountered a local bear. Said bear was swiftly handled and hide used as a bargaining chip with The Hobgolins. When felled it had signs of encountering another hunter and had been eating what we could guess was such a meal. After a bumpy start the group examined and was lead among the race. They seem to lack any advanced weaponry nor those of mental superiority. They were lead by a wizened, Older Hobgoblin. After deliberation the final determining factor was trade of guns sir, that was their price. Though we would not need much, simply prove we can procure said amount and the makeup. "
" What other information would there be? It is simply a summons like any other. We are to report our progress to the Council and then one of the Elders may give our group further guidance and possibly rewards for our deeds. I know of no other information. " Jin says flatly.
Cool, Im not worried.
Jin gives Zara a nod picking up his bushels of recently hunted food and carries it as they move on to find the other members of 'The Hunting Party' They check the areas Ln and Elisa are known to frequent. Jin unaware of exactly where Elisa's residence may be perhaps asking a villager or two the specifics.
Jin gives a warm smile and nods in acknowledgement, " Perfect, I shall inform the rest of The Hunting Party and gather soon. Please relay this to him. "
Jin places his hand up politely and motions to the door, " I shall be right back " To which he opens it and greets the young man well, seeing that he had received his gift. " I see you return, that could only mean that The Council is ready for our report yes? "
Jin nods knowingly, " You make accurate observations as befit your station. I had already sent word to them as standard practice ad await a person to relay when they will need our presence. On the Hobgoblins I personally found them.. respectable. if you noticed EVERY individual in their collective held a weapon and were likely proficient in said use. They have a well defined and structured society and thus once i mentioned a power they did not have it sparked their interest while securing our objective.n What we can trust is not them directly but the predictability of the Society as a whole. I am simply amazed that we got out of there with.. little recourse after the initial hump. I apologized to Elia, but I was given specific orders.. and It was above individual feelings alas. I will assume she will not forgive me for some time. " Jin stretches his arms stiff but the rest of his body limber from the hunting, " We should gather the rest once the word ha been sent. Im sure Lan is about people-watching , Elisa may be at the Temple or some other location. There you all will voice your own opinions. "
Jin will nod slightly at that. " I will never know the feeling of that. Though I guess knowing the Hunger is there and finally gathering the nutrients to satisfy said hunger is a different pleasure all together. What finds you here at my abode? I assume you wish to travel with me to The Council? "
Zara meets Jin at his place of residence where he sees a well ordered ad maintained pelt. He catches Jin in his Scout Form, carrying a nice supply of food. " Hello, Zaralastra, you come early. I forget you require... much less sleep than that of me. "
Hrm Nah, I just was redoing what he did before.. it was Reagents and Food I'll just redo it instead. This time just did food without realizing it.. assume the first was Reagents then
Jin enjoyed the sun, its warmth made travel easier and hunting more pleasant. It would also mean his pelts would be finished in no time. Take 10 Profession: Tanner Then Jin took enjoyment in his Hunting but only for a bit, Enough to find the food only, his absence would need to be made up to ensure the larder was adequate..
He came back with enough for himself and about 10 other persons this time. It was time to visit the Elder to report, he gathered up the unused cache and went to retrieve an audience with the Elder.. and to relay their progress to The Council.
Jin's suit breaks apart and assumes its scout form leaving in Tired sweating and overall lanky. " Yes, it was the right choice, luckily we were so close an no one got too injured before our return. Brother Hawkeye must have enjoyed his first foray much past our village sights. We have to report to the Elders next morn but otherwise I believe it was a success. We may well be rewarded this time with the cache, if not.. it can always be a bargaining tool and as you mentioned, once negotiations are set a more focused diplomat can handle the smoothing process. We would have gained an ally as well as a force against the Giants. "
" I AM ATTEMPTING TO FIGURE THAT OUT NOW. CURRENTLY THE QUESTION IS UNKNOWN TO ME, I ASSUMED WE WOULD MAKE IT AS WE HAD ENOUGH TIME BEFORE TO POSSIBLY LAND IN THE HOBGOBLIN'S CAMP AT NIGHT. I WOULD ASSUME IT IS ABOUT THE SAME BUT IT WILL JUST BE NIGHT. "
Jin turns to the group and notes the sun's position "WE VERY WELL MIGHT NOT MAKE IT BEFORE SUNDOWN. WOULD YOU ALL LIKE TO CONTINUE ON OR MAKE CAMP WITH THE SUNLIGHT WE HAVE AVAILABLE? " Jin tried to guesstimate how far they are from the village.
Jin rights himself and seems somewhat disappointed. as he starts leading the group back. " Fine then. That is simple, I had spoken with the Elder before and it would be a matter of setting up the orders to do said trade and the limitation and regulation on such. There will be travel back and forth and I'm sure this pathway will get much use. It will be up to the Elder's on how this will be known and distributed however. I seem to remember exactly where the cache is, we can most likely dig it up and return to the village at night. "
Jin kept his current pose but spoke to Brother Hawkeye, " The possibility was there but the chief seemed intelligent and wise, inciting a war with people who had the ability to Kill Polar bears and have guns EVEN if they get some themselves would have been foolish. It also would not have gone as planned if, like we were, not helpless without weapons or moreso if you killed a hobgoblin then took their weapon. I am glad the situation came out one of the more peaceful ones. "
Jin gives a curt nod back and looks to the party. He notes their conditions and dispositions, making sure all is as it were then leads to party away from the Hobgoblin camp. Once a suitable distance away, such that they see on the smoke in the distance as they once saw the first time . He turns to the group, " It seems we got out of that unscathed and without need of the cache so we can utilize that once we return " He would then turn to Elisa and bow deeply, " I wanted.. to apologize to you as well Elisa, though it pained me to speak that way your words were setting the wrong direction with the Hobgoblin and the Elder had told me to keep our party alive among all else. That however does not excuse that which I did or said to you. If needed I am ready to accept any form of punishment from you that you feel is just. I disrespected you when you are a valued member of 'The Hunting Party' I can only apologize the way I can. " Jin stayed in that position until told to move, while doing so he thought to remember the exact area he had placed the cache.. the trip to the town would take only another day.
If you feel that way, thats fine. No one is forcing you to do so but if you also feel that somehow being the only one means you have to leave that is false. Either way it might be completely different reasons So i can't judge.
Jin will keep you alive until then I guess. Almost ALL of his feats are being used sadly to keep up. Now we just wait on the GM to Advance us out of here. Thats why I havent posted more.
*nods sagely*
Lol, maybe find a trait that changes Diplomacy for wisdom or something and take Extra traits.... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY Down the line
Me and my mighty 8 Cha.
Jin gave the man an eye, this Hobgoblin was leader and this seemed far too easy, or perhaps Jin had hit a particularly good topic? Regardless, it seemed the cache was not needed and even better none of the party was harmed. There was however the chance for ulterior motives to rise.
" We can apply training and possible supply as long as we have your cooperation and an equal trade of services. I am glad I had to the honor to speak with you and expect the next time to be equally as resourceful. By your leave, we shall go and relay your request. Please enjoy your gift. " Jin looks to their 'escorts' to funnel The Hunting Party back to the outskirts of the camp.
Thank you as The elder said, Jin would apply things he knew the man could be interested in. He is straight up.
Jin thinks on his response quite hard before releasing the information. " Well other than foods and services such as my ability to fix almost any structure or weapon given time. Our land is already in trade with other villages and we carry items known as.. Guns. Powerful weapons that can slay creatures at range but require much less training and aptitude of the user. Structure plans, cultural exchange and similar. We also have training techniques that could differ and create a varying amount of soldiers if they have the aptitude. "
Ah you edited it, nvm.
Well Yes and No.. but If you are going to do that.. go ahead.
Oh no, Jin was quite aware Elisa could hate him but the position is one of responsibility. When good things happen they fall on you when bad thing happen they ALSO fall on you.. Its like being an engineer.. IF ANYTHING Happens your the first to blame. Also his Cha is terrible , he knows he cant force people to do much of anything. He can make logical arguments but if they take them thats them.
