Returning To Town
Starday, 20th of Goodmonth
Early Evening, Warm, Humid, Very Buggy
Jombo returns to the caravan once he is certain that the area is clear of threats, allowing the train to resume its return to Beachtown. Marge comments on all the noises of animals and birds heard in the jungle as they pass, hoping that the wildlife is finally starting to return to the once overhunted area.
Paul’s eyes widen at the statements from Darklin.
“We stayed in a much nicer camp at the end of that trail, a few more miles inland. There was a massive waterfall there and it was always loud and misty.” The young human hangs his head in shame.
“Sadly, we forcefully took that place from the natives too.” He shakes his head at the thoughts of what his former group did to the indigenous jungle dwellers.
Other than a few loud shrieks that startle the younger girls, the remainder of the journey goes by uneventfully. Rewarded with an amazing view of the sun dipping below the water on the scenic horizon, the exhausted travelers finally make their way into the outskirts of Beachtown.
Actions?
As always, please continue posting any relevant dialogue and actions here in this thread.
You will hear about this Dwarven invasion that happened while you were away as soon as you enter town. viewtopic.php?f=446&t=6347&start=980#p474139.
We are still wrapping up the completion of that business in another thread, but that shouldn’t affect anything you’d like to do right away.
For the newer players, (and as a reminder to the others) we don’t really worry about “time” once you are back in town. If you are in town on the same day as another character, you can interact with them. Don’t worry if your character is talking to someone at the Hi-Lo in the morning and talking to the same character in the tavern at night. Since town is a “time free” zone, we can carry on multiple conversations/actions at once. I’ve found that this can be ridiculously confusing for some players, but it speeds downtime up considerably. If you ever have questions about where to post something, please just ask.
I will put together the XP reward for this mission as soon as the pesky business of treasure splitting is complete. Since nobody in the party stepped up to that task, I have outlined a division that seemed fair for everyone. You don’t need to follow a word of my suggestions. Please divide it any way you see fit. I am merely trying to expedite the process. I don’t particularly enjoy splitting rewards for the party, but someone has to do it.
If you see anything I missed or if something isn’t adding up, please let me know. I realize that some items haven’t been identified yet, but I needed to get thi ball rolling anyway.
