Rolling my d8 then and will be happy to have five as the minimum. Thanks Corwyn!
Caine would have gotten four instead of three hp from Rebuke Death. I assume he adds his new hp to his max and current? 19/02 doesn't look right.
The cleric all up in your business
The cleric doing her job!
Love this ^^^
Shouldn't his current hp have risen with his max hp? He isn't more injured for having levelled up, right?
+1 BAB, Fort, and Will. Improved Heal, Perception and Arcana.
Also, Z is going to let the whole poison idea drop.
Did Detect Magic pick up anything? Is Walthus staying close?
Can you see the message where she continued the Detect Magic on the skeleton, sword, and chest? I wonder if it didn't get saved, since there was no result and Caine cast it again in the same place.
<confused>
My research (and I have the various Dragon Empires books) has been inconclusive; Paizo seems to be inconsistent about the actual language terminology for Minkai. Sometimes it's called "Tian-Min," other times "Minkaian."
Adrian is from the Han region of Tien. Thus no luck in understanding. But I do plan for him to take up the language in the future.
Caine speaks both. I didn't want to take any chances.
So are we in agreement to head back and bring Ameiko?
I feel like we are.. Besides probably main plot generator...lol.
Yeah...
Agreed. (Strangely, this tab didn't refresh before I posted IC. Oh well.)
Are we going back the same day? It seems like we are.
Not sure what the travel time is?

On horseback or in a caravan, it takes about 2 to 3 hours to travel from Sandpoint to the point where you leave the Lost Coast road to head into the swamp. The trail to the cave is the furthest from Sandpoint. From the road to the cave is another hour or two. With Walthus helping it is closer to an hour. He does not accompany you to Sandpoint, but will wait by the trail entrance for your return.
Your return was slow as no caravan was running on Sunday night, so you needed to rest on the road and arrived on foot Moonday morning.
Can we collect the bounty on the goblin ears before we leave Sandpoint?
Clearly, I needed to read the Gameplay first, but I was already on this screen when I refreshed, so I replied here, but it was completely moot, given the other conversation, so I just deleted what I wrote here and will now return to our regularly scheduled broadcast.
Ladies and Gentlemen, an unnecessary, run-on sentence...

Who's protecting who at this point? Two crits for Ameiko.
Is anyone waiting for a response for this?
Caine has Shield x2, Frostbitex1 memorized.
Does anyone recommend any divine caravan spells at first level?
I guess you can prepare Create Water. Endure Elements will be useful if the climate gets too hot or cold. I can't really think of much else besides protective spells. My character's set for travel unless anyone wants to interact with each other.
Some input, for what it's worth.
I've run Jade Regent before—at least, the first two modules of the AP. The caravan system is... well, I wouldn't design it like that.
* Caravan combat comes down to a roll-off: one roll from the party, one from attackers. This means that most players have nothing to. You just sit and wait to see if you win while one person just makes a roll once per round.
* The kinds of monsters that you encounter early on in their suggested encounter tables will smash a typical starter caravan, forcing you to flee, regroup in the nearest town, and then spend a bunch of money to start over.
* The entire thing is based on the assumption that the DM will just flesh out the trip from Sandpoint to Brinewall (a trip that could take a few months) with enough random encounters to reach level 3 before you reach the ruins.
When I ran, I let players improve the caravan, but I made it much more Oregon Trail-like: Along the route they would run into hazards (reins broke and horses tried to run off, wagon got stuck crossing river, owlbears attack, etc.), each of which was a separate scene. I also had scenes in two towns where the PCs stopped for supplies. After five scenes they gained level 3 and reached Brinewall. Caravan improvements were necessary for things like having enough food to make it overland for 2 weeks between towns, or having armor on the wagons when attacked by ogres, or carrying extra trade goods from town to town in hopes of making additional money.
I strongly recommend not using the caravan rules as-written, and instead focusing purely on the high points/challenges/exciting encounters of the trip, with "traveling montage" in between. These montages are good opportunities for players to have short RP scenes to develop their relationships with NPCs.
I agree--and bow too--the experiences of Aiko. That description of how Aiko ran it does sound better for this format.
Owlbears!? Perhaps, not that...lol!
I'll go with Aiko on this one (though I don't have any experience on caravan rules). We can wait for you to sort things out. What I'd like to know more about if what will be spent on in the modified version.
Sounds great, thanks for taking the feedback. Let's get adventurous!
Aiko, if you'll forgive me, you should be more than +2 to hit. You have the music going and aren't you using a magical wakizashi?
Edit: Maybe you're still taking -2 for the loose grip? Your damage should still be +3.
How much do we have to spend on the discounted healing stuff and who thinks we should contribute how much to buy what?
I'm thinking Lesser Restoration at the minimum, because none of us can cast that.
We should invest in a party wand, as soon as possible, so as to save your channels.
Caine will put in his share for any party cure stuff.
That will be 300 gp. We already got one among the treasures we got. So we have 421 gp and 3820 sp from the chest as well as a potion of cure light wounds, cure medium wounds, lesser restoration, a wand of identify, a ring of climbing, a chain shirt, the sword, and chest and jewelry. We can sell the wand as well as the chest and jewelry for more money.
So can we get the CMW wand at 40% off before we leave town? Ameiko sees the value in that, hopefully.
We may need to purchase it on lay-away...lol.
IC wise, Adrian wouldn't want to do so if it would cost her the Rusty Dragon. He doesn't have the Charisma to convince her anyways.
Also, which caravan are the NPCs sitting in?
Zaraleva gives up on the wand. (At 40% off! It hurts!) She rides with Ameiko, sitting next to Aiko if possible.
Man, I could have swapped that CHA roll with either of my Perception ones. Such is the fate of the dice gods.
