Barnaby smiles. " Maybe I talked to one such, " he answers. " The Ravenfolk, Corbin, bore a staff as a mage would. He was friendly and talkative. I also have heard that the Margrave's cousin is a very powerful mage, probably too powerful to bother with our affairs. But Corbin, he migh...

Treasure under the spoiler. Only what you recover and return to town counts for XP @ 1 silver penny = 1XP Coins: 5503p (210lbs total, 120lbs copper, 80lbs bronze, 10lbs silver, scattered gold) Gems: 317 <1lb a dozen semi-precious worth 99p total, 2 48p, 1 120 Recovered outside from where the leader...

If my math is correct, here are the cash and XP gotten. The cash only counts the coin and gems! It does not cover magic items or the supplies and tools that were found. scarik , correct me if I'm wrong, but the XP is just for monsters, right? So a share of XP would be 1164 (cash) plus 355 for kills...

Barnaby finds a moment when Ji-Ho is unattended (few those are, given that loyalty is strong for the man). He kneels by his Captain, leaning closer to speak softly. " Among those vials are a few I recognize, " he says. " They are precious beyond purchase or sale and should be held to ...

I've always played that new PCs just appen to be even level with the party ...

Jack would give you an extra die to roll for one of those stats ... take the middle of the three!

Recruiting thread is here. Is it possible to move the character sheet template post and the purchasing equipment post over to a "discussion" thread under the new forum?

I should request a forum be opened for this, huh? Will do that.

You start with 10 shins. To purchase stuff, regular gear is 1 shin per item (tent, provisions, boots, winter clothes ...). Weapons: melee light 1 shin, medium 2 shins, heavy 3 shins; missile light 2 shins, medium 3 shins. Armor: light 2 shins, medium 3 shins, heavy 5 shins. Roll CHA. Better result i...

Alright I suppose one of the Hill Dwarves I'll try and roll up so I have character rather than an NPC loyal to another. I'll have to do that after work today or maybe this weekend. :) Cool! if he's a fighter type, then he'll have access to some slightly used arms and armor. ;) I could always try an...

"You know more of this than I," the bard answers the warrior. "I never have served in an army. Well, what then if one or a few of us went to bring back healing water from the springs?"

Barnaby looked embarrassed. "Ah ... yes, Si-woo. Raven's Well. I was thinking of the other water place. Springkeep. It's said they have a healing spring, which could speed us along if we can get there. What do you think of transporting our wounded, a week or so across the grass roads?"

scarik wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 8:25 pm Lol. Barnaby is the guy who would know! But I'll take it.

Ravenswell is at least on-the-way-to Springkeep and a better waypoint than trying to cut straight across the grasslands to a place that Barnaby's never been.

I'm going to double down on Barnaby thinking that Ravenswell is Springkeep ... unless somebody who knows the area corrects him!

" We gain less than a few days of food divided among us, " Barnaby muses, " and maybe a week's provender for the beasts. " He shakes his head at the valuables. " This trove must remain here - for now, " he says. " We need strong backs to bear the wounded back to Sp...

By the way, Fail States is a hard jazz riff from this:

Looking at supplies, I do not think that we have more than a month of provisions for all of us. So the entire party staying together at the hill fort until everyone has healed will not work. Transporting the massively and majorly wounded back to Springkeep will be arduous but only a few days of it. ...
