Episode 0: Dahyrst

[Rex]

Strega

Once her senses return to her Strega will head for bed to rest and recover. "I am heading up to bed, I think some rest will help me recover. Pleased to greet you Quaalxor, I always enjoy meeting dragon hunters."

[Monsieur Rose]

Rumble

Before going to bed, Rumble watches an armored dwarf burst in. His fur ripples slightly but when the situation is defused, he relaxes. "Friend of yours?" He asks Oskar.

Rumble slowly stalks around the newcomer, admiring the large axe on his back. "Man after my own heart, you are. Tell me, do you feel the latest design on the axe cuts as well as last season's?" Rumble continues his examination for a bit longer, then gets bored and heads upstairs.

[Ahlmzhad]

"Why thank you most gracious Lady.", he says to Stregga giving her a bow as well.

Settling towards the bar and his pint of bitter he addresses Rumble. "I use only my families design (then he spits on the ground to his right, and mutters a curse on some dragon), and they cut fine. Personally I think it's more about edge and the grip on the handle. If we have the time I'll show you how to get a a good long lasting cutting edge on your blade".

If the room empties he'll go ahead and get a bed for the night, if not he'll stay and chat.

[drpete]

Oskar

Oskar tells the dwarf how they had acquired the object for a man, then on investigating it, it exploded. He tells him that they (the group) is on their way to Greenest in the morning unless something else catches their attention. He's welcome to come along, if he's going that way...

Not long after this, he heads up to bed.

A bit of a meta thing, I guess. But can we "hang out chatting" for a bit as part of the "long rest"? If that works, I'd say we could assume Oskar would be happy to mellow out with the newcomer & get to know him a bit before going to bed.

[Ahlmzhad]

Quaalxor

"Thanks, for the invite. I think I will join you. If they're giving you gifts like that then another axe might come in handy" I reply to Oskar.

I'll stay up until others are retiring, then I'll off to bed myself.

[dmw71]

Figures, shortly after I made my last OOC comment, our Internet connection went down. Apparently it's an issue my provider is having throughout the Midwest, and other regions to a lesser extent.

I'll do my best to get this out tonight, but I may need to save it and post it in the morning.

New Morning
"A pint of your best bitter," the new dwarf orders, both to quench his thirst, but also to hopefully return a state of normalcy to the inn after the recent explosion. When Briez rushes off to fulfill the drink order, the dwarf leaves a gold coin on the bar top and, relying upon his sense of smell, moves towards where he believes the explosion took place... which leads him directly to where the burnt spot on the floor is located. The newcomer takes a knee, leans over, and inhales deeply, and tasting a sample of the soot left behind. It's difficult to get a truly accurate reading, but he strongly suspects -- based on the smell and taste -- some powder from a highly spicy pepper was at least part of the combustible. Madame Hily interrupts the investigation as she returns from the kitchen with a wooden bucket filled with soapy water and a brush. "Your drink's on the bar," she says. "Complementary," she adds as she begins scrubbing the floor, looking to remove the reminder.

"What brings you to this sleepy village, stranger?" Bren asks as the dwarf settles into a stool at the bar. After taking a deep swig of his strongly flavored beer, the newcomer shares his dislike of dragons -- which might explain the strange stare the dwarf and dragonborn shared moments earlier. "The explosion made me forget me manners, I am Quaalxor." the dwarf shares, extending a rough hand in Bren's direction, leaving the sorcerer thinking, hopefully, this dislike of dragons is limited to just those of the evil variety.


"I'm heading up to bed," Strega interjects. "I think some rest will help me recover." the albino half-orc states, still trying to get the ringing in her ears to stop completely. "Pleased to meet you Quaalxor, I always enjoy meeting dragon hunters," she adds before taking her leave. Rumble, too, postpones his own trip upstairs to slowly stalks around the newcomer, admiring the large axe on his back. "Man after my own heart, you are. Tell me, do you feel the latest design on the axe cuts as well as last season's?" Quaalxor shares that he only uses his family designed blades, and offers to demonstrate how to get a long lasting cutting edge on a blade. The tabaxi continues his examination for a bit longer, then gets bored and heads upstairs.

Eventually, Oskar shares how they had acquired what turned out to be a fake dragon egg for a man, which ultimately is what exploded. "We're on our way to Greenest in the morning," he volunteers. "You're welcome to come along, if you're going that way."

Oskar, and Quaalxor, and Bren, and anyone else linger about for a bit, chatting, before ultimately turning in for the night.


---

The group reconvenes in the dining area shortly after sunrise the following morning, well rested and in good spirits.

Madame Hily informs Oskar that there is a general smith in town, and provides him to Drida's Ironworks. The innkeeper also shares that Rina's Oddities would be the place to seek out general adventuring gear.

Briez, as promised the night before, hurries over a glass jar of freshly made wildberry jam along with a tray of piping hot biscuits. “My sister and I picked the berries ourselves,” she repeats, still proud. The young halfling sweeps her long black hair out of her face then takes any additional food and drink orders.

Feel free to continue to role-play. But, also, let's take care of any shopping requests before the group sets out for the day?

Is the plan to still continue on to Greenest?

      • It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
      • In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

      • As well respected as clan crafters are among outsiders, no one esteems them quite so highly as dwarves do. You always have free room and board in any place where shield dwarves or gold dwarves dwell, and the individuals in such a settlement might vie among themselves to determine who can offer you (and possibly your compatriots) the finest accommodations and assistance.

      • Others spot the message’s presence with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check but can’t decipher it without magic.
    • 2nd: Wild Shape: 2
      • Recovery: Short
      • Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before.
      • Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into:
        Beast Shapes (Forest )
        • 2nd
          • Max. CR: 1/4
          • Limitations: No flying or swimming speed
          • Example: Wolf
        • 4th
          • Max. CR: 1/2
          • Limitations: No flying speed
          • Example: Crocodile
        • 8th:
          • Max. CR: 1
          • Limitations: --
          • Example: Giant Eagle
        While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
        • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can’t use them.
        • When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
        • You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
        • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
        • You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
    • 2nd: Druid Circle (Circle of Dreams)
      • Circle of Dreams Features
        • 2nd: Balm of the Summer Court
          • Fey Energy Pool (d6): 2 (Druid Level)
          • As a bonus action, you can choose one creature you can see within 120 feet of you and spend a number of those dice equal to half your druid level or less.
          • Roll the spent dice and add them together.
          • The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total.
          • The target also gains 1 temporary hit point per die spent.

    Background: Hermit
    • Feature: Discovery (Details)
      • The quiet seclusion of your extended hermitage gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your seclusion. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who or consigned you to exile, and hence the reason for your return to society.

    • Feature:
      • Your accent, mannerisms, figures of speech, and perhaps even your appearance all mark you as foreign. Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.
        
        You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and peopl

Such connections might require the donation of money or magic items to the guild’s coffers.
        
        You must pay dues of 5 gp per month to the guild. If you miss payments, you must make up back dues to remain in the guild’s good graces.

Bren takes the offered hand of the newcomer. That counts for something. As the party lingers over breakfast, Bren asks of the newcomer "You are hunting dragons you mentioned last night? What exactly are you hunting if you don't mind sharing?"

OOC: Would the nights rest be a short/long rest? Bren would recover his breath weapon ability if so.

[Ahlmzhad]

Quaalxor enters as the young hobbit is putting down her biscuits. "Them's some lovely tarts young lady, but a Dwarf needs a bit more to keep his ribs properly covered. Could you please fry me up a ha dozen eggs, a pound a ham, and a nice block of cheddar cheese on the side?"

Then he shakes Bren's hand "Why ultimately I search for a large black beast, that should have a scar near his right eye that I gave him. Goes by Zlar, but he's a crafty one, and so I am on the lookout for any and all dragon activity. Maybe it will lead me to the fiend so I can sever him from this world, or if not him then it probably still needs to be terminated. And, what pray tell are you and your friends in search of?"

I'd like to purchase a daggar. Do we do that via rp, or just through notes?

"Sorry, I couldn't get much of a read on the explosive last night, but thinking on it, it did have a strong pepper base so at least we have something to go on to compare any future little gifts we might receive."

[Rex]

Strega

"That would be an interesting story to hear Quaalxor." Strega says as she eats her breakfast. Turning to Briez, "Briez, would you mind putting me together a lunch I can take with me? Thanks." Turning back to the others, "I think we need to get moving soon if we are to make it to Greenest soon, I can still feel the call to get there."

OOC: Was our meals today covered by our patron from last night? If not how much? Either way I will leave a GP tip for our hosts.

[dmw71]

Was our meals today covered by our patron from last night? If not how much? Either way I will leave a GP tip for our hosts.

All meal and lodging costs have been pre-paid. Even the packaged lunch.

Oskar

Impressed by the story of the black beast, the middle-aged Oskar offers "I can't speak for my associates and their reasons to travel. I'm here out of curiosity. I'm on my way to visit the fine Keep Scatterheart in Greenest. I've got a date with some buttresses, you might say. I wasn't anticipating... violence."

Oskar is interested in buying/upgrading to a chain shirt, if that's possible (with a trade in of his leather armor?
By the book this would be 50-5=45 gp) . He is also interested in picking up masons tools and carpenters tools.
All of these would only be possible if there's no price *inflation* and he spends his diamond, so there might be some choices to make.

[Monsieur Rose]

Rumble

"Ooh! Biscuits! And JAM!" Rumble races downstairs as he hears and smells the hint of jam. He tries his best to wait patiently as the jam gets passed around. His tail flicking about wildly. When he finally grabs the jam, he spreads it liberally on the biscuits at first, and then just uses his face to eat the rest.

"Excellent jam, Briez. I know how hard it is to pick the berries, especially to not eat them all." A jam-faced Rumble expresses his appreciation.

"Greenest. Right. Been too long." Rumble starts the arduous process of removing jam from his fur.

Rumble is interested in a wagon and an animal to pull it.

[Ahlmzhad]

"Luckily most don't need to anticipate violence. I hope you find your buttresses peaceful. If not for unexpected violence I'd be building up heat in my forge a'now instead of lollygagging with the jam eater there and the t'others." Then to the bar maid " Thank'ee for the service lass you've done well , he'll leave gp on the table for her. Sitting back enjoying the now yellow stained board, and pocketing the small portion of ham and cheese for later.

[dmw71]

This next update is going focus on all the shopping requests, here: Buying and Selling. It's not looking likely, but if I have time later tonight I will revisit this main thread and move the action along.

If not tonight, tomorrow.

[Gerrin]

Tannaris Vethykos

Tannaris makes his way downstairs, stretching and working the kinks out of his back. He sits quietly at a table and tucks into breakfast while studying his spell book.
After a while he gathers his leather armor.
" Briez, would you be so kind as to give me directions to an establishment where I could sell my armor?"

[dmw71]

Leaving Dahyrst
After the group concludes their shopping trip, they reconvene back at the Sleepy Salmon to collect the rest of their possessions before setting out for Greenest. Briez slips each member of the group a loaf of freshly baked bread for their journey. "Actually, hold on one sec -- " she says, dashing off into the kitchen and returning with a large rolled up sheet of dried parchment. "Here," she says, unfurling the parchment to reveal a scarcely detailed regional map:

Dahyrst to Greenest.jpg (26.68 KiB) Viewed 2759 times

"You can follow River Chionthar which winds southeast a bit, which will take you a little out of your way, but will prevent you from getting lost; or, just head straight south -- either way, once you hit the Uldoon Trail, head west -- it passes directly through Greenest."

"It's about a half day journey, so, leaving now, you should probably expect to arrive right around sunset."



Briez and Madame Hily thank you for your patronage, and welcome you back any time.


At just after half-past eight in the morning, you begin your journey.

    • 2nd: Wild Shape: 2
      • Recovery: Short
      • Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before.
      • Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into:
        Beast Shapes (Forest )
        • 2nd
          • Max. CR: 1/4
          • Limitations: No flying or swimming speed
          • Example: Wolf
        • 4th
          • Max. CR: 1/2
          • Limitations: No flying speed

        • 8th:
          • Max. CR: 1
          • Limitations: --
          • Example: Giant Eagle
        While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
        • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can’t use them.
        • When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
        • You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
        • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
        • You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
    • 2nd: Druid Circle (Circle of Dreams)
      • Circle of Dreams Features
        • 2nd: Balm of the Summer Court
          • Fey Energy Pool (d6): 2 (Druid Level)
          • As a bonus action, you can choose one creature you can see within 120 feet of you and spend a number of those dice equal to half your druid level or less.
          • Roll the spent dice and add them together.
          • The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total.
          • The target also gains 1 temporary hit point per die spent.

    Background: Hermit
    • Feature: Discovery (Details)
      • The quiet seclusion of your extended hermitage gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your seclusion. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who or consigned you to exile, and hence the reason for your return to society.

        You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and peopl

[Ahlmzhad]

Quaalxor

"Thanks for the bread and the map Lass!"

[Rex]

Strega

"Thank you Briez." Strega starts off at a good pace.

[dmw71]

To Greenest
As per the suggestion from Briez's, you depart Dahyrst early, and follow the River Chionthar as it winds south and southeast, not stopping for longer than the occasional break. After what you guess to be four hours, as promised, and as the map illustrated, you spy the Uldoon Trail straight ahead. All you need to do now is follow it west, and runs directly through Greenest.

After a brief lunch, you begin your journey west. The trail, which, while consisting of nothing more than stamped mud and solid dirt, functions more like a road. A well traveled road, marked with footprints of all shapes and sizes, as well heavy draft animal impressions and wagon tracks, which are to be expected given this is the only real route trade caravans are able to travel.

You pass through the rolling grasslands, with some rolls in the landscape amounting to a near equivalent of an actual hills, making the journey more difficult. Especially for Daisy, pulling a wagon.

You travel for roughly four more hours, then another four hours, before ultimately stopping to take a quick break again for dinner, finishing off any snacks gifted to you before leaving Dahyrst.

The sun, which had been at your back for most of this western stretch, passes you, and continues to gradually descend against the western horizon.

As the sun continues to lower, and nightfall approaches, you suspect your journey may finally be nearing its end.

Your legs begin to ache as you begin yet another incline.


Clang!

A bell sounds off in the distance in front of you.

Clang!

The bell sounds again.


The clanging of this bell, at this time of night, fills you with a sense of unease.

Clang!

You near the top of the rise.

Greenest lies ahead, still a few short miles away. Thankfully this distance is all downhill; but care will still need to be taken for Daisy's benefit. The distance between your current location and the town proper is dotted with simple wooden structures -- farms, mills, tanneries, stables, carters, wainwrights, coopers, brewers, and other industries vital to supporting a trade town.

Clang!


The town.

When you catch sight of Greenest just ahead, instead of the pleasant, welcoming town you expected, you see columns of black smoke rising from burning buildings; figures, that are little more than dots at this distance, running to-and-fro; and a dark, winged shape wheeling low over the keep that rises above the center of the town.


Clang!


A bolt of lightning bursts forth from the dark, winged shape.

You think you hear screams! Of maybe that's just your mind playing tricks on you?


Greenest is being attacked by a dragon!

Your scene is officially set. I know you're going to be anxious to dive in and begin replying, but I am going to lock this down.

      • Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
    • 1st: Sneak Attack (1d6)
      • Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon.
      • You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
    • 1st: Thieves’ Cant
      • During your rogue training you learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation.
      • Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages.
      • It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
      • In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

    • Feature: Respect of the Stout Folk
      • As well respected as clan crafters are among outsiders, no one esteems them quite so highly as dwarves do. You always have free room and board in any place where shield dwarves or gold dwarves dwell, and the individuals in such a settlement might vie among themselves to determine who can offer you (and possibly your compatriots) the finest accommodations and assistance.

    • 2nd: Wild Shape: 2
      • Recovery: Short
      • Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before.
      • Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into:
        Beast Shapes (Forest )
        • 2nd
          • Max. CR: 1/4
          • Limitations: No flying or swimming speed
          • Example: Wolf
        • 4th
          • Max. CR: 1/2
          • Limitations: No flying speed
          • Example: Crocodile
        • 8th:
          • Max. CR: 1
          • Limitations: --
          • Example: Giant Eagle
        While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
        • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can’t use them.
        • When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
        • You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
        • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
        • You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

      • Circle of Dreams Features
        • 2nd: Balm of the Summer Court
          • Fey Energy Pool (d6): 2 (Druid Level)
          • As a bonus action, you can choose one creature you can see within 120 feet of you and spend a number of those dice equal to half your druid level or less.
          • Roll the spent dice and add them together.
          • The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total.
          • The target also gains 1 temporary hit point per die spent.

    Background: Hermit
    • Feature: Discovery (Details)
      • The quiet seclusion of your extended hermitage gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your seclusion. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who or consigned you to exile, and hence the reason for your return to society.

Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.
        
        You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and peopl

      • As an established and respected member of a guild, you can rely on certain benefits that membership provides. Your fellow guild members will provide you with lodging and food if necessary, and pay for your funeral if needed. In some cities and towns, a guildhall offers a central place to meet other members of your profession, which can be a good place to meet potential patrons, allies, or hirelings.
        
        Guilds often wield tremendous political power. If you are accused of a crime, your guild will support you if a good case can be made for your innocence or the crime is justifiable. You can also gain access to powerful political figures through the guild, if you are a member in good standing. Such connections might require the donation of money or magic items to the guild’s coffers.
        
        You must pay dues of 5 gp per month to the guild. If you miss payments, you must make up back dues to remain in the guild’s good graces.
