The desert is pretty much what you'd expect: sandy, hot, and mostly barren of life. You head towards the low dunes as the map indicates. As the sun is just starting to fall from its peak, so are you just reaching the bottom of a valley of sand. Suddenly, the ground starts shifting! Boulders...

Sorry for not getting back until now, but I'm ready to continue! I don't think 200 is much to ask for. It's not only food for 10 days, but equipment to protect you from the desert environment (I did adjust for the warforged not needing to eat or drink). You each started with three magic items...

The 200 is for the entire party; split evenly it would be 40 per person, so it should be no problem to pay for it, assuming you didn't all spend your extra gold on magic items. Let me know your total gp here so we can tally it up and use it as a party resource. Easter is coming up tomorrow...

To make it simple, let's total up the coin everybody has into a party pool resource. That way you won't have to each individually say how much you spend each time you want to buy something.

200 gold gets you all the equipment and food you'll need for a ten-day trip through the desert, and that's about as much as you can carry. According to the map, the journey there should take three to five days, depending on which path you take. Do you want to head out on the short but...

The jackal and the warforged head around town to search for supplies. Even if Howl doesn't quite understand the concept of a "store," he can recognize a sun-protecting headwear in a window when he sees one (even though warforged don't use sun-protecting headgear...but that sounds like how Howl...

The next day dawns early, quite metaphorically, on the explorers as they prepare to set out on their journey. The map seems to indicate that there are two paths to start off on. One heads directly towards the destination, but seems to be filled with red X's and warnings of danger; the first...

"No, no, the KING was the dragon. Psychic dragon. I think those are purple. Nunpoldrn wasn't the dragon, that wouldn't make sense for the story! The king would just be like, 'Everyone, kill that dragon!' instead of just 'No, you can't have my daughter.' But maybe things were different back...

Cinthia jumps up. "Forget the drink!" she says. "I love telling that story!" She clears her throat and assumes a cross-legged sitting position, making sure she's facing everyone around the circle. "Nunpoldrn, the story goes, fell in love with the daughter of a cruel and greedy king. He...

If it makes any difference, I'm treating the effort to locate and reach the hidden ruins as a whole skill challenge. Make checks whenever you feel it necessary!

The bard opens one eye when the wall of sound hits her, though she seems largely unfazed. "This better be good," she says, her eyes trying to focus on Rogun's left ear. "I was having a nice, dwarf-free dream just now."

The coins go from the table to the innkeeper's hands quicker than iron to lodestone. He points towards the hearth, where a lanky woman is slouched in a chair, her head hanging by her upper lip from an empty mug of ale. "Sinthea over there is the resident bard, but I don't know how, eh...

The golem has no luck learning anything new about the gem by sniffing it, though as soon as the wooden muzzle has left it alone, it seems to snuggle up against the fabric of the bag, content to remain inside. The adventurers also return inside, to the tavern they have been conspicuously...

Earthforger You can literally forge earth, taking one minute to craft a mundane weapon or tool from dirt or rock. The tool lasts for five minutes or until you use this ability again, upon which it crumbles back into its original form. In addition, because of your elemental nature, you have an...

The dragonborn, Srasut, rubs his scaly chin. "It is odd that he didn't specify what share of the treasure he intends to keep for himself. Perhaps he's interested in it as more of a historical pursuit?"

Thank you very much! Did you choose a theme for Rogun? That sounds fine, if you'd like a roll to go with it. Using the ability will almost always introduce something interesting regardless of the roll, unless you're in a situation where too many interesting things are already happening. With...

I remembered why I didn't post Rogun's theme trait. I can't find Rogun's character sheet! I think you should be able to post a link now if you want, or else copy the information into this thread. Windlord You can sense every shift in the wind, which means you can foresee what the weather will...

Very nice! I also realized I forgot to give Rogun his theme trait, so I'll get his and Talashia's up later today, and then we can continue!

The map shows mostly empty space, as it depicts the desert, though the filled-in spaces don't seem to be very cartographically accurate, more just indicators of landmarks and their relative positions. The bag is even more uninteresting. Upon further examination, you find that it is the most...

I was going to say the same, if it works for you. No need to complicate things too much, but I know how important it is to find a character you want to play. The rest of the group can take a day to gather information around town and get ready for their trip, roleplaying combined with skill...
