[OOC] Baptism by Fire_FULL

@Helmsman01 where is fort wheelan? I don’t see it on the map.

Helmsman01 · Mar 26, 2023

About a day west of Fort Silan which means it is closer to Fire Trees than the other fort.

@Helmsman01 Given the Urchin background, is there any chance - maybe some kind of roll? - for Fern to recognize that they are speaking Thieves Cant, even if he can't understand anything they're saying?

Hmm... given your background I'd say that you've come across this as Street Double Speak. Something used in front of young kids because they are so nosy.

Still about collecting my thoughts and enjoying the RP. Will move things along tomorrow afternoon still writing my posts.

@Helmsman01 In one of the posts, you mentioned fire creatures and volcanoes in the mountains. Are we likely to need cold weather gear or is it going to be hot? I'm just curious about buying equipment and how much water we might need to bring with us.

Also, is it possible to buy Studded Leather in this town?

Helmsman01 · Mar 30, 2023

All good questions we could RP, but "shopping" in a face to face game is long so I would hate to see what it's like in pbp.

I'm inclined to say "we buy what we need" and move on. As far as "studded" leather goes, I guess the question for the DM is: Do you want us to be able to spend money to give Fern a +1 AC? The way I see it (when it comes to armor) is he'll just be adding some hardened leather vambraces & spaulders and probably a silly-looking leather skullcap to shore up his AC. He probably doesn't need to actually buy a suit of "studded leather" and sell his "leather" armour.

It's probably available, if not here, then certainly at the fort.

BUT, otoh, we've just started. Do we need to raise AC from how the character was built before we even have an encounter? YMMV.

Helmsman01 · Mar 30, 2023

I was just thinking that after his first encounter Fern may be looking into "armoring" up. But yeah shopping post can be written by the shopper themselves. I think I'll make notes of anything you really can't find in a town, but normally anything being possible I won't beriff a player having the gear they think they need.
