Rise of the Runelords OOC

[Ghostfoot]

Sorry I haven't been posting much, been following the game but either not sure what to add or just end up getting distracted before I get a post finished. It also doesn't help that I know there has been a lot of information in the game that I just can't remember the details off after a while. I'll try to get at least something posted more frequently.

^^ This. I'm only getting brief periods of time at the moment, hardly enough to read up on what's been happening let alone act. But I have a nice relaxing holiday coming up in ~1 week so I'm looking forward to being more attentive. Happy to go with the flow in the meantime.

Have any of you played through Shattered Star adventure path or plan to do that in the future?

No I am not familiar with it at all.

[u-b]

Okay, collect 1000 gp, sign the documents and go on with the preparations.

The Mushfens are largely uncharted, but you can set aside 50 gp and I'll see if I can find something.

[Spore]

I am amidst the preparations to move, and I will do so in about 2 weeks. My old internet is apparently still linked to my old roomie, so I cannot easily switch it over so expect a bit of radio silence from me starting in October.

Google docs spreadsheets, then cut/blank in XnView. The former have some quirks, but I found them pretty much tolerable, the later is perfectly fine.

Nope, never encountered Shattered star.

And thanks for the tip on the map making

Thanks for letting me know. I guess I'll have more time to read the book then.

Sounds like a plan....
What supplies do you think we need?

Some trail rations / some water
A wand of Create water? (375gp) - or can someone cover that?
Maybe some anti-poison or disease items? Just based on marshes....
Rope, lots of rope

About the council, Adalbert knows this much, and about lord-mayor of Magnimar, this much.

[u-b]

1. Regarding an audience with Lord-Mayor. If you go there now and state your case, the secretary will direct you to handle it through the Lodge, because, at the moment, there is no reason for a bunch of would-be heroes to waste Lord-Mayor's time.
2. As for the map. I've checked and the Mushfens are uncharted. You can see them on this map of Varissia (100 gp a copy), but the insides you can only guess. Your goal is on the cape to the south-west of the city, you cannot possibly miss it.
3. Iris is not aware of any mosquito-borne diseases originating from Mushfens, but with the right equipment sleeping at night will be much more comfortable. Apart from food (we'll be tracking it) and a way to clean water, some long poles might be good (e.g. to probe the way).
4. Sentient inhabitants of the Mushfens include goblins, boggards and troglodytes.

[DrK]

I think Justin (and me!) are all in favour of just heading on the road as soon as possible. We can agree with the lodge, get the funding and then head south rather than pottering around with politics- no reason for "important" people to speak with a random bunch of adventurers until we get back with a bevy of loot

I'll still wait for a post that confirms that that the party has finished buying (presumably with some buying beforehand, but that is optional).

I hadn't seen the trekking poles of goblets before. They are useful LOoks like a great shopping list. Should we get a donkey as well as a beast of burden?
Other wise looks cracking

Technically Adalbert still has his donkey.

I don't think it would have been prudent to sail on a fishing boat with a donkey. I rule it is left at Goblin Squash Stables in Sandpoint. You can procure a new one with no problem. Will try to move you out to the wilderness some time this weekend.

[u-b]

I want someone to roll Survival 7 times (one for each day traveled) with possibly others helping.

That I can do:

Owwwkay, I want to know if you have a donkey with you.

[Spore]

Heck yea. Beast of burden, and monster lunch in a pinch.

[u-b]

That's 8 gp for the donkey and 5 more for pack saddle. Writing IC now.

[u-b]

I'll wait to see what Lebwen does about the bats, if anything.

[u-b]

Are we supposed to be opening dialogue with goblins, or is it human (or at least non-goblin) inhabitants that we are looking for?

You do not remember it being specified one way or another.

[CasualViking]

Lebwen heals 10 from Curate's Strike.

[DrK]

Thanks for the nice character sheet format by the way, I like it.

thank you. I stole it all by myself!

sensing of the motives (1d20+12)[20]

sensing of the motives [roll0]

It seems she generally does not like company and does not make an exception for your particular band at the moment.

[Erloas]

Almost forgot, I have Animal Aspect memorized. Which should make climbing trivial, if Justin doesn't make it up the first try.
I didn't write down the spells from the book earlier, I'll try to get that on the sheet before the weekend.

[DrK]

If folk agree Justin will take rope with him and jump up switching to primal hunter (40ft move) stance and using the leaping dragon boost

(1d20+25)[33] on the jump check

[CasualViking]

we have rope.

[Ghostfoot]

Sounds good. I'll cover everyone from the beach until the deck is secure.
