FYI, I will be away from the Internet for about 48 hours starting this afternoon.

I'm not sure how close to consensus we are, but if you'd like to set an ambush, where are you aiming to set it and which route do you want to take to get there? Here's the map with a grid for reference. You're at Y-3. The supplies are expected to take the road from K-18 to F-5.

So is the goal just to double the granularity of increases? Make Odd Numbers Great Again? Often I feel like one's first ability increase goes to make two odd abilities even, and then the rest are doubled up so as not to forego an actual bonus for 4 levels (or whatever). Another option to...

"The only delivery I know the schedule for is that one," Mom says, pointing with her stick to the order of supplies for the mine. The delivery date of two days from now would give you at least a day and a night to get over to the road. The closer to the mine you try to intercept it, the later...

Yeah, from the point of view of the other races, Bugbears are lazy bums who just boss everyone else around instead of doing anything themselves. The problem is, if you don't do what they demand, they can summon a lot of murderous energy all at once. And then go back to lazing around. :)

It would have to be an Int check -- with perhaps History bonus applying to common races, Arcana to magical races, Religion to angels & demons, etc. So assuming that roll started at a 7... Her smell is unfamiliar. If she is an ordinary specimen of one of the creatures you've heard of in the...

"Not that long ago the trading company was the only thing there. Now they're trying to make a proper town of it. MUCH too close. Pride goeth..." her voice trails off. The she resumes. "You can call me 'mom'." She cackles to herself, evidently seeing great humor in this.

Nothing to prevent him from stirring when somebody says an interesting word. If he survived this far, gotta figure his alertness is on a hair trigger. :)

The crone is just observing you at this point. She doesn't comment on your strategy or which of the locations you want to head toward first. So... where to?

The mining supplies is an order for a wagon load of supplies from Two Bridges Trading Company to be delivered on the second day from now. The content is pretty much what you'd expect -- food, clothes, pickaxes, shovels, sharpening stones, spare blades, buckets, torches, and etc. The one odd...

She simply taps the ground in front of everyone who speaks, until Moon Moon. She nods at his words. "Ah, so in addition to the smash-bash-crash, there is some small measure of wisdom here." She pauses to collect her thoughts, then: "You may not have considered your enemies. If you kill the...

She taps her stick in front of Karok, leaving a little glowing dot on the ground. Then the hood swivels around again. "Other ideas?"

"I think we can arrange for you to show off," she grumbles. Then the tip of her walking stick begins to glow red, and she sketches a map in the dirt. "We're here," she says, drawing a tiny campfire to the Northeast. The strokes glow brightly in the dirt, even as the staff moves on. "Toward...

"Actually, Boss over here," comes a old and gravelly voice from the darkness at the edge of the clearing. A short, cloaked figure edges in to sight. It looks thin and maybe bony under the robe, and the darkness inside the cowl is completely inscrutable. It speaks again, and you think maybe...

Ripnek is the first to notice what's actually in the fire. But as soon as he gives it a glance, it snaps into focus for each of you. Chairs, the seats already ruined but the backs finely carved with winding vines through leafy branches, in the tedious elven style. Chests, the wood rapidly...

Reading the first few responses, I'm starting to think the Goblin should have been named Yorick. :)

Again, both physics and low-temperature metallurgy sound like modern knowledge to me. Besides, I don't plan to especially honor the laws of physics in a party with a Orc Sorcerer. :)

Gust: I think a cyclone could qualify as a "harmless sensory effect using air". So for instance, you could create a small cyclone to do the classic swirl the leaves up off the ground, or stir up the leaves behind you in the path you just walked. I wouldn't let you pick up enough leaves or grit...
