"Your generosity is appreciated," he says, taking two of the dried grasshoppers he sees in the open case and tucking them in separate pockets. He will leave it to others to take the donation. "I truly feel that there is safety in numbers, and you would be better at the tavern. A bookcase had...

Urgan's current one-liner: Urgan AC15(12) HP 26/26 HD 4/4 PP11 dkv SSdc14 4/4 3/3 ArcRec 0/1 AdrR 2/2

good. Yes -- and so 2 level-1 spells cast, arcane recovery, and x hours left on mage armor (lasts 8 hours from before the ambush). Thanks. Done.

Fitz: in my one-liner above I presumed that we recovered spent spell slots when we leveled, but I don't know if that's right. So when we level up (with only a short rest), do we regain spell slots, or only those cast? If we don't get them back, can we say that Urgan used his Arcane Recovery...

Fair enough. I made my pitch. Urgan will go to the caves.

Team Ambush. Urgan grunts and thanks Corrah for her insights. He spies the exe the corpse had mentioned, and he picks it up. Rusty and old? Clean and new? Whichever it is, he straps it to his pack. Who knows when it might be useful. "The Wagon's ready to roll. I know you all kindly voted me...

We have stopped the mercenaries. If we had time, we could wait for a patrol to weed the numbers further, but if there are 50-70 inside, then stealth and avoiding conflict are going to be advisable. I will admit that I hadn't fully appreciated why we were making three parties -- I thought we...

Thanks for this, Taran. Urgan has some ranged ability, but really his magic is "support". He's not a damage dealer (and when he is, it's up close). Urgan is happy to go to the caves, but see next message.

As he peers down into the cellar, Anson puts up his hands, and smiles. "Please believe me when I say that wand will do much more damage to the living than it would to the dead." He pauses a second, before continuing. "My name is Anson Willoughby. Many have gathered at the Pudgy Pig. Perhaps...

Team Ambush. The wagon repaired as best as he is able, corpses carried to a pile at the side of the road, Urgan drags that of the lone orc and intones the spell from the scroll. The harsh guttural words of the necromancy spell are uncomfortable on his tongue, as he plays with magicks he...

Hmm. It feels like we're not finding any consensus. I suggest someone posts, saying that Urgan casts the spell. He can ventriloquize any five questions whoever posts wants. I am not convinced this is the best use of the scoll, but I'd rather we not get hung up on this point. Someone who wants to...

Anson first checks on Dirdre. He's not a healer, but he ensures any bleeding is wrapped before continuing his examination of the room. "There," he assures her; "that'll hold for a bit. Be careful." Anson looks to the overturned shelves, lifting them up, to see (a) if there are scrolls or magical...

v2: Trying to find some unanimity. I see Terrin wanting info for the gate. If we do that, then I suggest asking the (dead) Orc (in orcish) 1. What is your name? 2. What last request can we fulfill for you? (offer the dead something. If they cuss us out (as I expect the cultist would), then...

Perhaps: Ask the driver. 1. What last request can we fulfill for you? (offer the dead something. If they cuss us out (as I expect the cultist would), then the rest is moot in any case. If they have a request, that gives us nominal leverage.) 2. What is the password at the gate? 3. How many...

We can ask that -- sure -- I just don't see why any of the dead (especially cultists!) would tell us what we want to know. Leveled up; took Keen Mind as a feat, as planned. New one-liner: Urgan AC15(12) HP 26/26 HD 4/4 PP11 dkv SSdc14 3/4 3/3 AdrR 2/2 (is it okay if we keep the level 1 spell...

Team Ambush/Team Kobold Urgan comes down the road to the wagon, and as he passes through the illusionary barrier he has made, he releases concentration on it. He surveys the damage, and the corpses, when someone suggests using Speak With Dead from a scroll. He knows he can cast the spell, but...

Fair enough. Urgan stays w/ Team Kobold. Yup -- saw those, and the follow-up that it cohered with information we already mostly have. Happy for other views. If Urgan's going through the caves, then the most valuable questions woudl be about the statues, which I think these guys are unlikely to...

Kobold Stew is back, and can post in a bit. Quckly: 1. happy to cast Speak with dead, or we can keep the scroll, and he can transcribe it (in time), so that we can cast it repeatedly. At the moment, nothing leaps to mind, but I'm tired from sleeplessness. I won't post on that until I see...

Yes -- he has Magic Initiate (Druid), and it seemed the most appropriate spell, especially for where I plan to take him (later to be coded as a psi-assisted leap, but I still need the spell component).

Anson puts down his flute, as the old woman thanks him, and amidst her generosity, he blushes. It was one of the responses that Danai had always teased him about, that she had found endearing. That's not her name, he reminds himself bitterly. "Thank you," he says simply. "I shall carry it with...
