not really, just as I mentioned earlier when I first contacted you about this, either I would have made friends with her in the Shimmerglens (or more likely the Ashwood, Kreegwood or Sanos Forest in the surrounding area)...which means she could be wandering far outside of her normal territory (fast Google perusal on pack territories can range anywhere from ~9mi to ~600mi-okay maybe still within her area)...or perhaps was chased out for some reason(more likely if she's a loner), or I could have an encounter while scouting away from the caravan.
No, I don't really have any other thoughts at this time.

I might suggest you consider at least figure out where it's heading, though, even if you choose to continue to play it out as well, since it may be important for how your characters interact at the start of the next module. Just a suggestion, not a requirement.

Hrithik, there is a scroll of False Life, caster level 7, 175 gp value, that you claimed way back which still does not appear in your Loot Tracking section. Please add it in when you add in the items from this division and the other more recent ones.
Everyone, please try to keep those updated, I have to look through all the posts otherwise to see what you've claimed when there's a dispute, which is a pain.

Neat! Does this include the aforementioned 225.2 gp?
Hrunndalf's new sheet is online. Something must have gone wrong in the submission process.
Deloreans are so last millennium. We use neutrinos nowadays.
Oh, and I has a fever. DO NOT WANT! :(

No, that is in addition to the aforementioned 225.2 gp, although that amount does include all monies from previous Brinewall loot posts.
Selling the Named Magic Weapon With The Remarkably Crappy Special Power brought in a bundle for y'all.
Sorry to hear you have a fever. :(

If you go to Rahadoum, you will die.
Their soldiers are mostly trained to watch for contraband religious items, signs of faith in any gods, preaching of religious doctrine, or evidence of use of divine magic.
Since Alaric carries no holy symbol of any recognized religion, believes in no gods, and preaches an atheistic doctrine, he was uniquely qualified to survive as a cleric in Rahadoum for longer than usual. In fact, the only circumstantial evidence that he is a divine spellcaster would have been one they were incapable of detecting -- his clerical aura, which itself can only be detected by the very divine magic they do not allow.
I imagine he was probably safe unless he did something idiotic like try to heal someone. Even then, there is the chance the family of whoever he healed might have been grateful enough to shove him under the deckboards of a small boat in a few inches of bilgewater for a few weeks to get him out of the country.
Rahadoum isn't insta-death. They don't even kill everyone they arrest; some are jailed or even just exiled if the evidence is weak.
It's just insanely, insanely dangerous.

Gandalf the Grey got a similar prophecy before he became the White: "If you go to Khazad-Dûm, you will dye." ;o)

Pretty sure Hrithik didn't get that False Life scroll. Lio and possibly someone else had more eagerly counterclaimed, I believe, and since Hrithik couldn't use it to acquire the formula til 4th character level, he let it pass. For time out of mind, the only item Hrithik acquired was the Pretty Panties.

I have double checked this. What you said was "... if Melinda has a more immediate use for the False Life scroll, consider Hrithik's claim relinquished. Hrithik can't add it to his formulary until level 4."
In the next loot division, it is listed as going to you. I would assume from this that I checked and she did not have a more immediate use for it. It is not listed on her character sheet.
If that was my screwup, apologies, but for now I would assume that it is yours and should go on your sheet. You can put it in your formulary at this level anyway, and it is not among the spells you just got.

liothonae cromvathar |

Lio can't use the false life scroll, so did not claim it (unless i offered to carry it?) i don't think so, though. But I could be wrong.
In regards to where I think this is heading. Well, there are several possible conclusions that I can envision, and at least one of them doesn't end badly...
So first, because with Lio's luck, things will end badly... here are the most likely things that would make this end badly:
1) Hrithik sees how badly scarred she is all over, scars that resemble the work of nearly being flayed to death by a wire and leather cat-o-nine tails, he realizes that she has a lot more in common with his first love, freaks out since he still sees so many of the memories, and things do down hill from there...
2) He likes the scars, confuses her with the girl from his memories, possibly calls her by the other girls' name, and things go downhill from there.
3) He stops, for whatever reason.
Hmmm... ok those are the only 3 things I can really think of that would throw this for a loop...
Otherwise, Lio is really, very much interested in what Hrithik is doing right now, and really does not want to stop. If it is not obvious by now, she has never had such a wonderful pleasant experience in her life. If things end well, she will likely still be averse to touch that she isn't prepared for, be filled with doubts and the fall-out from the nearly 9 or so decades she spent as a slave, still be acting the way she has been all along, although she will certainly be a little different around Hrithik, considering what a wonderful thing he is currently giving her. She would definitely make sure he got back to the caravan safely, if after this he is still not back to his senses, though continued lost in memory-ness on his part, would make her doubt that what she just experienced was real, since it would make her think that he didn't really see her, and was possibly reliving something from his past. So if that was the case, that could color future interaction somewhat.
Does that help? :)

Small price to pay to avoid watching another buzkashi game.

Yes, but arcane sight would only work *if* he cast a spell. When he's just standing around, it's wouldn't have been a problem.
Speaking of the Caravan, those keeping the sheets, it's time to level it to 4th. The feat will be Extra Wagons. Subtract one set of stores to reflect when various people took time off (yes, this is in addition to the extra stores people bought which were never entered on the sheet.)
However, it is very possible that you will also need to add some extra travellers soon, so if you want to hold off until that determination is made and do it all at once, that's fine.

The Brinewall Legacy is now complete.
The new thread for Night of Frozen Shadows can be found at THIS LINK: ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS
Only those who have gotten special permission to complete a scene should continue to use the older IC thread.

Hrunndalf Jarlsson |

*blink* You mean you didn't mean for me to have the last word?
Oh, I do expect you to keep the last word. ;)
Actually, Hrunndalf's not that much of a fanboy of the gods either. As an Oracle, he's hardly in a position to question the existence of divine powers or their meddling in people's lives, but that doesn't mean he understands what's happening to him, or why, or who's behind it all, and whether they mean well.

What you said was "... if Melinda has a more immediate use for the False Life scroll, consider Hrithik's claim relinquished. Hrithik can't add it to his formulary until level 4."
Yeah, by "more immediate use" I meant: "any time of any kind she'd appreciate the bonus hps before Hrithik reaches 4th level", because yes the entire dungeon we were just in. Thus: never thought he had it, never logged it.
So, would Mel's player like her to have a 7th level scroll of false life? :-). Totally hers if you do. If not, I think the local alchemist will soon discover a scroll of something crammed into a sock and will be able to make a handy potion for Mel shortly ...
Which makes the times Mel and Hrithik have claimed the same items: 3-0 in favor of Hrithik. :)
Yeah ... given the way claims are set up, but the way treasure in this AP has been dished out, that pattern may hold until infinity. Mel gets to grab nice snazzy wands of big nastiness, while the alchemist-appropriate treasure has been roughly around the same level as the Halfling-appropriate treasure. So every time a small sentimental item pops up, worth almost no cash compared to a wand, Hrithik is at a lower total value.
Unless he bids on an expensive but useless-to-him item solely for the cash value of it, or unless the AP starts dropping spellbooks or buckets of non-group potions at some point, I'm not seeing Hrithik pull ahead in total cash value claimed. Which means he is primed to win every sentimentality sweepstakes, forever, while being super-lame in overall eq (exception: Kalimac is even more chumped :-) )
Is that something worth ruminating on, meta-level?

Kyrademon |

... the alchemist-appropriate treasure has been roughly around the same level as the Halfling-appropriate treasure.
I am confident that over the course of many levels, things will even out.
Your lower claims now mean that when something Nice comes up that several people want, including you, you are far more likely to get it. E.g., Kalimac snagging the Circlet of Persuasion.
I think it'll work out.

Kyrademon |

Hrunndalf -- looks like your equipment still needs to be updated; your wand of shield is still the old one, and the new guisarme isn't in the equipment list. Also, that +1 morningstar is cold iron, I believe, that should be noted.
In addition, the scroll of CMW you were carrying around as party treasure got used in Brinewall.
Once all that's updated, Hrunndalf is APPROVED.

Believe I've got Hrithik to Level 4. Thanks to grandpa Rokuro, Languages is now an Attribute.

By the way, I'm retconning the name of my Plot-Relevant Weapon to Þrumublað. It's less transparent than my previous choice, and it contains both a thorn and an edh for added coolness. The Skald meaning is "thunderblade".

Thanks for chipping in on the litany. I'm hoping for at least a hammer and a lance, too. ;) And I hope we don't get sued by the Tolkien estate.
Heh. Happy to. For all their divergent appearances, Hrunndalf and Hrithik are perhaps most similar among the party in having a soft spot for epic grandeur.

Kalimac remembers the litany, the pattern of which he has broken. "I was going to say, '...and my wolf,' but that would just be silly," he says with his usual easy smile.
Lance! "And my lance!" The one with your motto and everything!
What kind of epic quest instruction did Kalimac's Order give? :-)

In the meatspace game I'll be missing tonight, the equivalent gesture is to clench a fist and extend it toward the joke- or pun-maker. Protocol demands that the giver of mirth must move their forehead to impact the fist.

I think my Frankish ancestry needs to meet up with your Hessian and Prussian ancestry and take over the rest of the ancestries on this board. There's no way that can end badly.

I would be remiss in my duties if I did not point out that Hrithik is one of the most frequent ones in need of such treatment. His puns, they burn!
