if the party has the GP for it, then he will pay the man now
We hadn't discussed it directly, but we knew we were coming here to hire people. I assume we have the money set aside.
Based on Elli's loot table, it looks like we have about 7k in party funds still. Not sure if that's current or not, but I think we can afford 300 now pretty easily.
Ready for the body replacement.
Well done! You got a pro smith, an apprentice, and JUST prevented a later attack.
If nothing else, I'll fast forward us back to the Horn in my next post...
I'll give another day or so for anyone to chime in then back to the Horn we go!
Making the apprentice blacksmith accidentally become the master of the evil golem is hilarious. Well played.
Besides Tanzen beginning his work on the Mill, refresh my recollection on what else you want to get done before you start the Ritual?
Animate dead, but it sounds like we need to wait for onyx.
Also fix the place up once the masonry, forge, and mill are up and running.
OK.
Shit week, update tonight!
As a hobby, Clyde is going to take up candle making and place candles all over The Horn. Caverns, tavern, forge, little nooks and crannies and give the place a neat melted wax look.
And, every other night Mephistopheles will cast Continual Light on these candles until they are all lit...

Sorry about talking to myself there. I wanted to deal with the rogue golem situation before it got out of control, and I wanted to get Raaven back before we kicked off the ritual.
Awesome!

LOL.
I'll give till Tuesday for more reactions before I move us along.
Once the Ritual starts, I'll time jump us to potential problems as they arise. The group has already eliminated one potential problem via RP!
The first time jump will be related to the arrival of the Obsidian.
Also, a reminder that you never did decide what to do with the Teleport throne out in the Forest. Second reminder that the Seventh Knot is also out there in Farholde confounding the Ninth's second stringers attempts to locate them though with Tih and Havelyn present there seem to be more attempts to assassinate Morana and Soren so there's that. Of course Havelyn did beat senseless some Rogue gang members so that might have had something to do with it...
Morena's with the Horn crew now, prepping to build our undead army.
If the 7th manages to assassinate Soren, Havelyn will have the mother of all revenge arcs. I'm torn between liking Soren as a character, and also kinda wanting to see what Havelyn does to the 7th if they're dumb enough to kill the last anchor of his humanity.
Been really sick. Almost had to be sent to hospital. But that's averted. Now I'm just consuming a lot of meds
Severe influenza

Ouch! I've been there. Just focus on getting better.

Ah right, forgot!
That will remain to be seen :-)

BIG update tonight as the Ritual will begin!
Fell asleep last night, posted up with the little time I have, one more chance for anyone who wants to , to chime in before I start the Ritual today/tomorrow.
Shadow, is the ritual happening in the church of the 4 horsemen, on the third floor, where the "landing pad" is, or is it happening in the Sanctum of Vetra Kali, the hidden 4th floor where the giant Mitran seal is, only accessible from the secret staircase in the caverns?

Per RAW:
S-2 The Balcony (S for Sanctum)
This open balcony overlooks the surrounding countryside. From here you can see the other strange jagged hills that rise around the Horn. The hills seem almost to be bowing as if each of these ancient stone giants recognize they are lesser than the grand and magnificent spectacle that is the Horn of Abaddon.
In our version the balcony was pretty well hidden due to an illusion cast over it by Wizards that worked for the Victor, but from the inside, you know it's there.
Certainly you can seal it off if you wish to!
Of course, I was glad you didn't as the dramatic effect of the Horn lighting up is pretty awesome. Much cooler than Aurex flying in and saying hey guys what just happened out there?
That's really weird. None of the art supports that. I thought the landing was 3-1, where the map very clearly shows a way to the outside.
The S-1 map looks like a solid wall.
I guess Elli has some more lyre work to do. We do not want this room to be accessible from the outside.
Shall we pay them a little social visit? A conversation over tea and scones.
Great question!
They've been pretty elusive to locate in Farholde.
Once I am back on track this week will finish the Second and Third Prayers of the Day for the rest of the "opening day" of the Ritual, then you can decide what to do next.
If you want to sit tight, that's fine we will start advancing time as the Module is pretty clear that playing every single day of the Ritual would be super tedious, not that I didn't know that of course!

It is indeed confusing probably a front view of the Horn would have made sense so it was easier to see. Luckily the Lyre makes that fix easy.
I think I'm back from this week
I'll give another day or two and if there's nothing else you'd like to do specifically, we will move onto the last of the prayers.
