Thank you for accommodating Vako's chaos. And honestly I think we got really lucky with some of the rolls especially with Melaria's heroics and it was still really tense.

Did this exchange with Festus actually get to happen, or was it cut short by the beginning of the battle?

You may have given him the writing, but he did not have time to read it yet. And may have forgotten about it in the hullaballoo (just like me).

As long as I've handed the scroll over to him and briefly described that we found it on a dwarven corpse in a nearby graveyard (and generally where it is), I don't need to do anything else. I just didn't want any ramifications from it to not happen because I had assumed wrongly about the communication. Thanks!

What do we do with our captive?
They are not our captives. The understood agreement was they talk and chill out, but we leave after we get our information.
About to catch up on the gameplay now.

No. Grimbeard is the dwarf-thing in the camp that just disappeared with Olga the Varisian Witch. Malgrath is an as yet-unseen person who wrote Grimbeard thing asking him to find the stone.
Festus has yet to look at the documents you gave him before the fight. But he will. And there will be some story to that too.

I asked someone who posted looking for a game if they wanted to join us BTW. Not sure if they will want to but I sent them the gameplay link so they could read up. Offered them one of these NPCs or making a whole new PC if they wish.
Did this person ever get back to you? It's fine if not, I'm just curious.

Probably should have brought a burglar to the party. Was a little honed in on the jumping frog thing. Krrys'tall's level plan shows that at 5th level, they will be taking Thievery as a trained skill. Until then, we are out of luck for locks and traps, though.

For Vako: Is Vako constantly using the Scout exploration action?
For DM Doc: I understand the basic rules on exploration actions but have used them more in a house-rule sense. Could you give a brief explanation of how you want us to use them?

I don't typically rule strongly with the Exploration Activities, but if you are actively exploring, as opposed to just walking down the road, it may make sense to get some form of benefit from declaring your activity. If you have a particular action, then you can declare it but it may or may not come to pass depending on circumstances.
