Tancred

Helping with Pathfinder: I take note of any unique cave formations and make a mental note of them. Turned left at the triple stalactite, etc.

Tancred

Tancred is near the back, so he could get a dagger from Cu quickly in case we run across something.

If that's Cu's dagger, Cu still has it. He offered it to Tancred but there was no response made.

I thought it was implied that I had taken it. Oh well, so I don't have a weapon then.

And at the moment I only have a dagger, so I have a free hand to carry a torch.

You have obviously never seen how the dice roller treats me. :D A year or so ago I was running Torchbearer for my D&D group, one of the guys had to pass an Obs 2 or 3 skill test, Alchemy I think. I don't remember how he did it but he ended up with 11 dice (or 13?) - Skill, Help, Nature. He fail...

Tancred Sitting by the fire, wrapped in a warm cloak, listening to Cu's story, soon the sound of snoring is heard. I take comfort knowing that extra work involved to find this hiding place was worth it, even if it feels like it was a rushed job. (Using Steadfast trait as a bonus). It feels good to ...

That fire looks mighty enticing Ganna, mind if I sit and warm myself fer a bit? Did anyone pack a cloak or blanket I could use?

Shivering from the chill air coming up from the mountain stream I sit down by the fire and try to warm up, and catch some Z's.

I updated the IC thread

Let's find a camp site far enough from the water so we're not soaked by spray, or washed away if there's a rise in the river level. It would be nice to find a concealed spot, but I think the best we'll do is just have an overhang above us to keep us dry. Scanning the surroundings, I ponder each pos...

What's the Obs?

Survivalist Factors:
Making Camp: typical, unsafe, dangerous
Camp Amenities: shelter, water source, concealment
Breadth: the adventuring party, large group

typical + concealment + party = 5?

I thought Cu was going to, since he has Survivalist and I would have to use Beginner's Luck.

I'll create the post shortly, swamped at work fighting software glitches at the moment.

Cú Aislin's instinct and mine seem to be related, "Always look for a suitable site for camping." and "Always prepare a hidden camp"; so I think we should be able to help each other do the Survivalist test to prepare a "safer" camp. Cú Aislin has Survivalist but I do not...

You gonna catch us some breakfast? Fried trout sounds tasty.

The safest way appears to be past that outcrop there, and then past that switchback.

Helping with Scout, to find the easiest/safest path.

Tancred Hmm, I'm going to have to leave my lance here in order to climb down. It won't do me much good underground anyway. I believe the lance counts as a -1D improvised weapon when not mounted, so it basically be the same as unarmed. If we are still in the trees, or near the trees, I'll hide it un...

Tancred

If we take the lift then we're leavin' ourselves vulnerable to whomever controls it. I would prefer sneaking in the back way.

Ok, I will assume that I hid my saddle, bit, bridle, and spurs up in a tree, and that I've rolled up my saddle blanket and wearing it on my torso, like a Civil War soldier's blanket roll.

Making a test to retroactively hide it? One of the reasons why I choose "Staying in the shadows"-wise, thinking it might be useful for hiding myself and/or my horse.

Is there secluded woods nearby? I need to hide/secure my horse before we climb down a cliff face.

Tancred

I'm not ready to face the guards right now, I think we should try the hidden way in.
