(OOC) Scourge of Daggerford (Full)

[eayres33]

So Snake’s downtime also depends on the season.

In Late fall to early spring
A few days Carousing low class
More than a few days training, learning to use herbalist kit

From mid spring to mid fall
A few days Carousing low class
More than a few days working most likely with adventuring party, or doing odd jobs around town.

Easy! Religious service... With intelligence rolls, of course!
I assume that at least some of these would involve blessing soldiers and the like. If such is the case, he also tries to eavesdrop and uncover any belligerent activities within or outside the walls of the city.

To tell you the truth, the first thing I'm going to do with my money is buy ritual spells.

Dandin would be at the Bazaar. On a short stint he would either set up and try to sell off whatever goods he had available or walk8ng through said bazaar on the hunt for deals on goods he can flip or trade elsewhere for a profit. Also, he's always on the lookout for magical items that are under-priced. (Ritual detect magic ftw.)

On a longer stint he might ride with a caravan or two with his cart loaded up with goods for some villages market.

Lionel's downtime would probably revolve around the Happy Cow, makes sense I guess.

Sounds good. We'll also need to pick a party leader to speed up decision making. Dandin would do it if asked, but would want a leadership cut. Not to mention, he's going to want to be the one to sell off all non-claimed party loot before splitting. Also, probably for a cut. He's greedy like that.

Heh. Angis doesn't want it. Not with his negative charisma! He doesn't much like people.

Leadership, Lionel doesn't mind who is party leader as long as the job is getting done.
[MENTION=6865745]gargoyleking[/MENTION] : Dandin is doing it wrong, what he should do is nominate someone he can trick to be the party leader. That way you can convince the poor fool of the "truth" and use then as a buffer against very insightful npc's ('It is not a lie if you believe it!' - George Costanza) and it is always awesome to have someone else to blame!

But Dandin for party leader; he seems like such a nice halfling boy.

Another question for you all, if I was to start the game with your character in the middle of a Downtime activity, what would it be?

(If it is dependent on how much downtime I give you, give me options for "a little" (days?) and "a lot" (weeks?))

Here's the link to the UA if you want some more Downtime Options, otherwise check the usual book sources.

Gimme some idea what your usual day-to-day is like.

I can think of 3 things Angis might do with his downtime
1. Brew some beer (proficiency in brewer's supplies)
2. Check in/maintain the family business. Main offices are likely in Waterdeep, but I could see there being a coster or some other such outpost in Daggerford, given its importance on the Trade Way.
3. If he has extended time, he might be out caravaning, acting as guard to one of the family wagons or boats. Most likely between Daggerford and Waterdeep, but possibly elsewhere in the North, and if he has months to spare, possibly down to Baldur's Gate and back (two month trip each way, according to HOTDQ).

Angis doesn't really need to work. He has a steward/manager that runs things in Waterdeep, likely a shopkeep in Daggerford and all along the Trade Way and elsewhere, and his income comes as a Comfortable stipend (2 gp/day) from his family, though I imagine he only lives at Modest (1 gp) level. But it is his responsibility to oversee his family's affairs in the North, and he takes his responsibilities seriously, even if he doesn't think he is the best man for it. But he is the family rep up here, so he deals with it.

The leader doesn't have to be the face. Just a thought.

See my post above, I think face works better as a second in command but just remember that not all the players are comfortable doing the roles. So I vote for people who put their hands up.
