Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
I just want to say, it feels weird having to scroll all the way to the bottom of the games list to find an Inferno game!
Winter is coming...
Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
As for the loot:
The apple of Cruloc's eye is the Sword of Xuthalotep +2. That would upgrade him from his current long sword +1.
I suggest we divide the Atlantean, Verulian, and Hyborian coins evenly among us. Kiri can continue carrying the 4 shimmering rubies for the rest of us. The torches and rations should also be split up evenly.
It's good to be back in the saddle with all of you!

Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
This is strange to me because the first thing I do when I get to Unseen Servant is hit the "Your posts" link near the top right corner of the site, and it takes me right to everything I'm playing in.hedgeknight wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 3:09 am I just want to say, it feels weird having to scroll all the way to the bottom of the games list to find an Inferno game!

If everyone agrees with Yrkoon's approach, then all 5 PCs would each gain:
12 platinum coins
45 gold coins
56 silver coins
2 days iron rations
1 torch
And, in addition to that, Kiri still retains his 5 torches and 4 days iron rations.
Also, Kiri continues to carry the 4 rubies for the group.
Cruloc gets Zahra's Sword of Xuthalhotep (Long Sword +2)
And Torix gets the Thracian spear found within the amoebic horror (possibly magical?)
If everyone agrees with that, please update your sheets. Thanks!
Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
Hey everybody,
Great roleplaying in your posts! Great to have this group back.
Fyi, with two DM posts a week, my schedule will be to drop a DM post on Friday midday and on Monday night.
But I don't want to quash the great character interaction that's currently happening. So I'll hold off on a DM post today to allow you all to continue to react and reply to each other, and maybe even build consensus on next steps. Monday night I'll check in again and see if I should make a DM post to move the action along.
Thanks. Have a great weekend everyone!

Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
Torix agrees to the loot division. Updating the character sheet (not at all hastily and greedily).
Torix would also like to take a 1/3 share of the 22 arrows. Is there any armor available as any upgrade from his leather armor?

Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
The 22 arrows were Kiri's which he has reclaimed.
No armor upgrade, but there is Zahra's Shield +1.

Barbarians cannae use magical armour until level 5.
Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
Cruloc's superpower is his ability to take damage. His AC is 4, so he gets hit a lot. When he is at full HP, he can be barbaric and confidently fill his role as a frontline fighter. Otherwise, he must be more circumspect. I'd really like to get him up to max health now that we are presumably in a lull.

Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
Amethu is happy to do another round of healing on the rest of the group if we can wait another day or two.
Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
If we stay where we are, we will be consuming rations as there is no game. I suggest we move farther away from the City, heal up, and live off the land. Torix and Cruloc will be in their element.
Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
Sounds good to me. And if we come to a village maybe Torix can trade for some arrows. He's down to 8. Being a Pict, he might know where villages are, and how far away.
PCs
Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
Heading back to Tuscelan is probably too dangerous with it surrounded by enemies. Does Torix know of any settlements where we can go without fear of our heads ending up on pikes? Does he at least know of a relatively safe direction? This is his country after all.
Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
Cruloc gives 4 arrows to Torix, who is much better with a bow.
If Torix is going to take the new spear, can Cruloc use his old +1 spear? Although the long sword is his weapon of choice, he'd like to have something to brace against a charge in the event it becomes necessary. Cruloc's current spear is +0. Cimmerians are good with spears and long swords.

Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
More great, funny stuff in the IC thread! Enjoying it.
Yes...
The X marks the Aquilonian frontier fort, Fort Tuscelan, at the Black River. Six days away, the question mark indicates the approximate location of what Picts call the Forbidden City of the Dead, and what white men call the ruins of Thracia. Because of the Forbidden City, this region is taboo to Picts. If Picts hunt the party, they will not enter here.
Torix knows of a Pict village whose tribe is not hostile to his own; the Raven clan. It is 3 days from here, to the north. Torix has never been there before but believes he can safely enter that settlement to trade, but no one else in the party can. They would be taken for human sacrifice. Raven clan hunters will range a day or more from the settlement at any given time.
Torix's tribe is weeks away, to the north-northwest.
Fyi, as the party approaches Kiri it is clear that Kiri is badly injured. Also, Grigor was left behind in the Underworld with Kiri, due to a thin, precarious ledge that had to be traversed. So no cairn is needed for Grigor.
In the IC thread, please indicate your PC's preference for what to do next, if you haven't already done so. As usual, majority will rule. Thanks!

Re: But Shadows (ooc and questions Vl)
Cruloc will also offer his +1 non-magical Thracian long sword to Torix.
The +2 scimitar is still up for grabs.
