Expedition planning and discussions

[Rex]

Orgoth wants to fix the old ladies roof and lay out the plans for the new guild buildings.

[Spearmint]

Ok. I think most downtime activity is being covered. I will attempt to updates all the threads today and tomorrow so that I can get the next Barrowmaze delves off before Christmas.

Just give me a shout out if I am overlooking any character action that needs attending to before you set off.

Just give me a shout out if I am overlooking any character action that needs attending to before you set off.

Yes, please check my private Potion & spell research thread.

[OGRE MAGE]

I realize I am bombarding you with 20 things again, so feel free to paraphrase anything you need to for me.

Thanks!

[Spearmint]

I am just fixing up the next starting expedition.

This should be for Durgo, Fydmar, Brother Symeon & Genaromes.

I am just waiting on Bro Symeon to confirm his participation and also over this weekend, fielding questions from two more interested forum members, so maybe you can recruit some late arrivals too if I can work those in.

Please conclude any character downtime and ket me know if you are waiting a response to any downtime actions.

Please update character sheets for once you leave town, if it is not on your sheet then you leave it behind in the tavern.

[Spearmint]

Durgo will fast as the brother asks. "Thanks be to St. Ygg.."

... later that evening ...

He asks for some meat and an ale along with anything else that looks or sounds or tastes good.

... nothing like fasting on a full stomach.

Durgo

OOC - Ugh..LOL....darn it....I got so caught up in the expedition prep I blew that....I'll do a rewrite if that is ok?"

[Spearmint]

So I have Orgoth, Sir Dewey, Gideon plus two
considering to leave Helix in search of dwarves and lizardmen.

Are there any other preparations or contacts you wish to make, or just head off?

[Stirling]

Subject to last minute changes, I will leave for the Barrowmaze on July 7th. In preparation I will stock up on much needed supplies and gear.

Two lanterns (hooded), sixteen flasks of lantern oil, twenty firebrand torches, twenty spiking wedges, small hammers, crowbar, Thieves Toolkit (artisan), 50'ft silk rope, wineskins, water canteens, 1st Aid kit, signalling hand mirrors (x2), candles, vial of acid (if available), thick face masks with anti-spore filters (if Turgen's have), trading 50gp into loose gemstones (Bugbear marbles), length of yellow fabric for turbans (rumour is skeletons trade with 'yellow turban' explorers ...), anti-gnat salve (Falstaff). Clockwork mouse (Konrad's). -150gp & -50gp into gems.

[Stirling]

Yes it can happen for Sigrid, but Gerdal is busy until the 8th of July (except for the spare hours between studies), as noted in the timeline.

I know that you mentioned Gadsby the cleric of Cromm will stick around until July 7th to accompany back to the Mounds. But if character players are only free a day later, given a choice, I would rather delay to have other players rather than npc's, even if it means this fellow opts out.

If Veryn can wait around, (and unless he wants to just go adventure solo, there is not much else), then I am fine as Vann Hector to wait until those players in expeds return so we can form bigger teams again.

[Kenjosephus]

Veryn will wait around as i will be on holiday until 26th of July. So, i don't mind waiting for more players.

[Spearmint]

Great, that's actually quite helpful to know as the two treks I hope to conclude may take a week to return to Helix and ready themselves for starting out again next weekend.

Enjoy the break away.

[Stirling]

I am good to start whenever. There is no real life rush so I will read the current Expeditions and after their downtime is sorted, be ready to join them for any new Barrowmaze expedition, whatever form it takes.

(Searching past Rat Room, exploring and mapping elsewhere, even exploring other Barrow Mounds. I don't have particular ambitions beyond gaining some extra gold and xp to invest in upgrading skills).

[Stirling]

Orgoth, Sir Dewey, Copperpiece, Sigrid, Gideon, Cosmo, Rum & Callen.

Ah! Welcome back to Helix. More people to recruit for new adventures.

[Kenjosephus]

I am officially back from vacation. Gonna think about any gear that Veryn might add for the delve.

[Rex]

Orgoth, Sir Dewey, Copperpiece, Sigrid, Gideon, Cosmo, Rum & Callen.

Ah! Welcome back to Helix. More people to recruit for new adventures.

Thanks, need to rest up a bit and make some preparations but will be ready again soon.

[Stirling]

Undead & Dead Ends sounds ominous and we haven't left the village yet!

[Kenjosephus]

Especially the Dead End part

[Rex]

Orgoth will be joining Sven's expedition heading out on July 10th.

[sastaz]

10th sounds good for Gerdal as well!
