OOC III

[Marullus]

There is also just the exploration angle. Has someone updated the map?

[Zorroroaster]

I admit to having fallen down on that score. I can try and get to it this weekend!

[AleBelly]

Here are the activities I have for the first week back in Alleborg. I will update with the lair inspection tomorrow, so you have until then to give me your PC's plans for that week if you haven't already.

Yenny - some training, reading through goblin religious tomes
Angus, Hyde, Dandelion, Ilfrien, Arnulf, Hellebore - training
Chet - to monastery
Galan - ??

There are one or two others the goblin group hasn't met yet, so I won't include them here.

[Nuke66]

Galan hangs out between town and the villa. Not much training to do. However, he will casually observe folk to try and discern if there are any likely any rogues around.

[AleBelly]

OK, he can train even if he doesn't have enough XP. Level advancement will occur after requisite XP attained.

[Zhym]

Angus will regroup with the others after the training week.

[Nuke66]

OK, he can train even if he doesn't have enough XP. Level advancement will occur after requisite XP attained.

Alright, training it is.

Happy New Year!

[AleBelly]

So, what's next for our intrepid band of adventurers? Unless there's a plot hook involving the spy for the goblins, the only option I know of is the orc city.

Don't forget that there are a couple of items in the map thread that offer potential locations too. There are also possibilities called out in the action threads. I won't write summaries of the various chapters, though, since I don't want to push the party in one direction or the other. Some of the potential hooks are more obvious than the others.

[Zorroroaster]

For what it's worth, if Angus needs some $ for training, Arnulf has extra cash if he needs it. (Or anyone else for that matter.) Regardless of what he mutters to himself.

[Zhym]

Does Arnulf have an extra 500 gold? Training is expensive!

I'm not sure Angus would take it as a gift, but he might accept it as a loan with simple interest.

[tkrexx]

Hyde's got ya covered. He has more than 20 sp, so he thinks he's loaded!

[Zorroroaster]

He does have it. Ilfrien surreptitiously gave him a whack of it ages ago, although he doesn't know it was her. He recently offered to spend some on the cottage, but it looks like that's being gifted by the city.

If Angus is going to level and needs it, he's fine with a loan. Or whatever.

[Zhym]

Angus doesn't need it to level right now. I just figured if we have a week to kill, Angus could train for his next level so he wouldn't have to spend a week training when he did pick up enough XP. But I guess it's reasonably likely that everyone will take a week to train next time Angus is ready to level—unless we've reached the point by then that not everyone is leveling at the same time.

[Zorroroaster]

It's up to you... just say the word, I'll hook you up. Arnulf is a very experienced banker. Wait. Baker. He's an experienced baker.

[Keehnelf]

If Ilfrien had another 240gp, she could get another level...but unlikely

[Zorroroaster]

If Ilfrien can level and Angus can't, Arnulf will spot her the 240g to do so.

And I've already taken it off his sheet, so no arguing.

[Keehnelf]

Just to be clear--this would be a second week of training (just in case that would throw off anyone's plans).

[Zorroroaster]

I'm ok with it. We can spend the week getting the cottage fortified.

[Keehnelf]

That's sweet, thanks. She won't be quite so far behind her XP now

[Zorroroaster]

Pas de sweat.
