Wow, I'm impressed.
The guy from Israel knows that, but my uncle in Oregon doesn't. What is
this world coming to? (Or, more grammatically correct: "To what is this
world coming?")
Sorry
folks for the low post rate recently. A lot of factors contribute to
that, not the least of which being that I've been sick all week. I'm
finally breaking down and heading to the doctor today, so hopefully
things will get turned around and going again.
Strahd, Grondar's last comment to N'un T'Chauck is out of place. Each
crew member went to the captain individually to receive his pay and
talk to the captain. Therefore, unless N'un T'Chauck tells him, Grondar
would have no idea that N'un T'Chauck left most of his money with the
captain.
Regarding Colmarr's use of prestidigitation, it only lasts an hour, so
it should have run out while working. However, since I didn't make that
more clear and I didn't jump on it earlier (and also because it
expedites things and doesn't have a major impact on the story), I'll
let it stand.

Hmm, I didn't realise it was so long as you said the work was finished
quickly, and that Wakil was still soaked from his dip in the bay. The
fact that Wakil didn't really dry at all, considering we hadn't yet
ported the ship when he was initially soaked, led me to believe it took
maybe 15-20 minutes at most to move the sample crates on deck.
Like I said, I didn't really define things well. What can I say, I was sick. I had also planned to have the guards show up at the end of that last post, but I completely forgot. Oh well, no big deal.
I
like how it turned out, and you're right about it expediting matters.
Colmarr would have had to wash and dry his clothes by hand, as he
wouldn't leave the ship in the unkempt condition he was obviously in
after hauling crates, and would have been running around in a blanket
for hours waiting.
Rumors
could get around the crew about Noonchuck leaving his money with the
captain. He wouldn't hide it, and he's planning to come back to the
ship so why wouldn't he leave it there.... The barbarian bumpkin!
Either
that, or Braer mistook Troth for N'un T'Chauck earlier...? Don't see
how that's possible. Anyway, work it out amongst yourselves. Oh, and
I'll make a Sleight of Hand check for Braer to conceal his whip.
Looks
that way. Somebody's gotta lead the way, though. Oh, and speaking of
which, this would be a good time for everyone to express their
preferred marching order.

Well I assumed Grondar would lead since he's the only one who appears
to know where anything is, but Colmarr will go get things moving now.
As for a marching order I'd propose:
Single File
Grondar (mainly because he's apparently familiar with the city)
Denther Mosie
Wakil
Malachi Oruna
Colmarr
Lissa (Naomi)
Magyar Rhineholdt
Braerthalas Alathatka
Troth Hulebor’n
N’un T’Chauck
Single-file is, of course, the "Lightening Bolt Me" formation.
I'm for the double-file, as well, whenever we can manage it. I'm fine
with the proposed order, as well, not having looked at my character in
a month.
I'll be able to post as soon as I can... read... all... of this... hm, quite a bit of stuff to read.

wrong way.
So,
are people splitting up or staying together? I'm not exactly sure at
this point. It sounds to me like Colmarr, Naomi, Magyar, Malachi, and
Denther are going clothes/dress shopping and then getting food, and
Grondar, Troth, and N'un T'Chauck are going more mercantile shopping
and then getting food. I'm not sure where Braer and Wakil are (although
I would assume Wakil is with Malachi, that mightn't be the case). I
think, though, that the party won't really have to split up too much.
The Consumer District is in Central Tortila and is set up as a series
of squares containing market stalls and storefronts, kind of like an
outdoor mall, so that everything everyone is looking for should all be
in the general vicinity.
The city is roughly divided into districts. These districts sparng up
spontaneously as the city developed, so they're not hard and fast
lines, but they generally hold. These districts are: Docks/Warehouse,
Low, Consumer, Residential, Merchant, Upper, and High. The city slopes
slowly upwards from the Docks to High Tortila, where reside the
Governor's Palace and the estates of wealthy merchant families.
The Docks/Warehouse district we've pretty much covered. Low Tortila is
where the poorer folk live, work, and play. Some parts are very
dangerous. The Consumer district is where we're at now. The Residential
district is where people who are less poor live. These are your clerks,
less wealthy merchants, small-time bankers, etc. The Merchant district
contains most of the Merchant Houses, plus some banking and insurance
companies. It is mainly a business district. Upper Tortila is a
generally upscale section of town. It contains more esoteric and
specialty shops, such as Begnam's Shop of Antiquities, as well as the
private homes of wealthy merchants and bankers, etc. High Tortila, as
I've said before, contain's the Governor's Palace and the oldest
Merchant Houses, as well as the General Assembly building, which is
where politics are carried out for Tortila and the surrounding areas.
Taverns, Inns, and Brothels can be found in every district of the city
(though not all advertise themselves with color-coded roofs--especially
those in Upper & High Tortila), with the majority being in Low
Tortila, although many Inns are in the Consumer and Merchant districts.
In Upper and High Tortila, taverns and brothels may be exclusive clubs
requiring membership.
So,
are people splitting up or staying together? I'm not exactly sure at
this point. It sounds to me like Colmarr, Naomi, Magyar, Malachi, and

Braer is with Colmarr and company (IC post #574). Other than that the
division sounds reasonable, but Grondar headed off right after giving
directions and no one has followed him as yet.
Oh, how long would Colmarr estimate they have before they'd start the
entertainment at the tavern? He'll ask Grondar when he comes back, but
with Colmarr having been around that type of environment from time to
time during his travels I though I'd ask.
Entertainment
will start when people start getting off of work, around sunset.
Usually there will be instrumental music to draw people in, then the
"main attraction" will start once there is a full tavern. Still, these
sorts of entertainments are not the main draw for most taverns. Few
establishments focus on shows, and those that do may be referred to as
"Cabarets." Mostly, though, the distinction is not made here in Tortila.
Just
want to clarify something: the guy sitting on the other side of the
fountain isn't watching the crew. He's just sitting there. If anything,
he's watching the girl selling the berries. I'll give you a closer look
in the next IC post.
heh.
Well, it should still all work. The group's fairly paranoid after their
last couple surprise encounters, so it's not unexpected that they might
assume a loiterer is spying on them. So Denther can check the guy out
and figure out he's not an (apparent) threat while Mag and Colmarr play
fashion consultants.
