Word from the ArchDuke of Gaul...
Posted June 10, 2021

Word spreads through the populace and is confirmed by heralds. The following formal notice is posted in the public square.

REWARD REWARD REWARD

By Order of ArchDuke Gaul

Brave Adventurers needed, Knights or Gentry alike, willing to face
the terrors of a red dragon which has taken interest in the populace
of Gaul and demanded the sacrifice of maidens from among our
number each new moon.

Reward offered for any willing to face the Dragon in its lair,
leading to the dragon's death or to the cessation of its threats
against the city and our fair populace. All those so brave
as to stand against such a foe and prevail will also
be considered for knighthood and land grants from the Throne. The
proprietor, Hyde, has offered the Tavern as the site for planning
discussions. Sir Albrecht will provide the location of the dragon's
lair to any who require it.

Signed,

Gaul

* A cracked wax seal of the Gaul crest crumbles on the notice *
So, I expect this to be a long-term offering.

* Anyone who wants to propose an action be taken when the Dragon comes to claim its first maiden on July 1st can propose it in the EVENT: The Coming of Scatha thread, and all ideas will be resolved there together.

* Anyone who wants to plan an expedition to deal with Scatha should do so normally in the Tavern thread and on the normal clock.

* Anyone who wants to make a new PC for the game who is inspired by the opportunity to face a dragon for immense reward is encouraged to do so! They can all arrive in town by the current timeline (the word went out on June 10th backdated, so they're fine arriving with a caravan on July 15th, the current date.

So is Earc going to start an expedition then? So far it looks like:
Earc - MU
Bianca - elf
Rhybek - dwarf
Winnie - MU
Casper - cleric

Winnie has a CHA of 17. Would you like her to try recruiting a mercenary or two? The Grizzly Woman and Huckleberry are goo companion, as an alternative, but they get full shares.

Expedition thread created. You can post your recruiting rolls there and then head out.

That leaves the following who aren't currently on an expedition:

Bandy -- Male Halfling -- Alethan
Baxtaw -- Male Elf -- Dram
Blackjack -- Male Human -- Spearmint
Halfpint -- Female Halfling -- OnlyMe
Grizzly -- Female Human -- Starbeard
Clay -- Male Human -- Rusty Tincanne
Fingers -- Male Human -- Zhym

Plus Breman, Markd, and Foxy, pending completion of some events.

Any chance we could scare up a viable group out of that bunch?

Rhybek is my dwarf. I can't play two characters on same expedition. I believe Olaf is the dwarf you meant.

Honestly, I prefer pcs to npcs. Starbeard, is Grizzly Eve up for another goblin tower? Or care to roll up a cleric? ;) Teo clerics are definitely better than one.

Onlyme, does Halfpint want to join?

Anyone else have an interest?

This place is close enough that I don't think mounts are necessary. But it never hurts to have them when hauling back loot.

Sure, once she gets her loot straightened out. Plus a small tribute like gift to the xp gods.

Halfpint - female halfling badgirl wannabe (Lab Lord- The North Marches) LL
Mark'd - charismatic human fighter (Lab Lord- The North Marches) LL

I did mean Olaf. Thanks.

I won't hire Gord then. I like PCs more, too. Except that it more acceptable to have all the NPCs killed off just before returning to town so you don't need to share the loot. :)

So Halfpint isn't available for a Fingers expedition. That leaves the following uncommitted right now AFAIK:

Bandy
Baxtaw
Blackjack
Clay
Grizzly
Rhybek

Is anyone interested in basically anything? I'm still curious about that tomb with the ghost trial going on, but I'm open to other options, including just exploring.

If Fingers can't get enough PCs to sign up, he'll probably try his luck at hiring retainers.

Bandy would join that expedition. He was there the first time and remembers the riches to be plundered...

... and that there are undead, though, so one or two clerics would almost be a requirement.

I was planning on having Fingers try to hire Florin. AFAIK, that's the only cleric available for hire. Would Bandy have a better chance of being able to hire him?

Markd would certainly welcome going back to that tomb, unless Bremen and Irving slander him to the point he might as well retire to the southlands.

Is Markd a cleric of Baudh? That would affect Pendleton's summation. :)

Oh, okay. I thought you were suggesting he could help with the cleric count.

So we have:
Fingers - Thief
Markd - Fighter
Bandy - Halfling
Florin - Cleric (maybe)

There aren't any magic users available, PC or NPC, are there?

Bremen would have signed up for that adventure, but not if Markd and Bandy are involved. :P

He would advise against any thief go with Markd, actually. That dude is pretty judgemental,even if you aren't selling your soul. :P

I'm not sure how much weight Bremen's advice carries these days. :P

...It makes Clay Weatherwax's accusation of Foxy regarding the infernal seem so simple, by comparison. ;)
