I'm good with meeting with the Dain, and getting on our way. I was thinking about whether meeting with Drizzt might be helpful or harmful for our party. He could be a guide/mentor, or he could be a foil, tough to say. Jack would be skeptical of Drizzt's intentions, just due to preconceptions...

Jack chuckles, catching Lumrolur's wink and adding, "Should we encounter any of those unwelcome undead, a vial or two of that blessed water should do the trick." Jack flutters up above and exclaims, "I'll take to the skies and give those ground-bound ghouls a proper celestial shower. Undead...

I think we should focus on getting to Termalaine as fast as possible. If there's an underground route that we could have a chance of rushing through, and it's reasonable that we could attempt to avoid combat and move quickly, let's go for it. If we no longer have a fighter in heavy plate, we...

With a glint in his eye, Jack accepts the offered flask of dwarven liquor, tipping it back for a hearty swig. As the potent mushroom brew hits his palate, his face contorts in a brief moment of surprise at its strength, before settling into a grin of satisfaction. Wiping a drop from his chin...

Jack watches the exchange unfold with a mix of concern and amusement, the corners of his mouth twitching when he sees the expression on the dwarf guard's face upon hearing Zeth's inopportune choice of words, incomprehensible to Jack. Clearing his throat, his voice smooth and reassuring, laced...

Jack runs a hand through his hair, casting a wistful glance towards the snowflakes that swirl menacingly in the wind and the whiteout of the distant but approaching storm. "Well, as much as I'd love to dance with a blizzard—there's a certain thrill to being at the mercy of the Frostmaiden's...

Jack nods thoughtfully, the flickering firelight casting dancing shadows across his face. "A Goat of Tribulation, you say, with mismatched horns and a penchant for mischief in the pass? Sounds like the very sort of creature that would choose the solitary heights of Kelvin's Cairn for its...

As long as we can be reasonably certain of the NPCs safety, I'm okay with either the moderate-risk or the high-risk option of pressing on to Termalaine without a long rest. If anyone else would like to go that route, how about we ask Keenan and Garrett if we could borrow their sled dogs? Maybe...

Jack arches an eyebrow, "not necessarily safer has a certain ominous ring to it. What are we expecting down there?" But then, as he sweeps his hand toward swirling snowflakes beginning to descend, his features soften to characteristic joy, "Look at that, the blizzard is about to throw us a...

I'd rather go with a long rest and ride out the storm. Squishy spell casters need their beauty sleep. How about let's see if Keegan is willing to part with the sled dogs (at least the ones who are in condition to go on) and then, after the blizzard, we head over the tundra to Termalaine.

I vote for heading back to base camp. If it were just our party involved (including Ludo) I'd be okay with a high-risk option. But what is the point of risking the lives of tired sled dogs and 3 helpless NPCs when we came all this way to rescue them. @VLAD the Destroyer made a big sacrifice...

Jack shifts his weight from one foot to the other, gazing thoughtfully at the ominous wall of ice before turning his attention back to the group. "You know, as much as I appreciate the allure of the unknown and the call of adventure," he begins, his voice tinged with his usual blend of humor and...

@Quickleaf, did we level up to 4th level? Or you mean in the IC thread that we each started the campaign with Inspiration at 3rd level?

Jack feigns a frown as he peers at the illuminated runes. "Hmm, a love letter to a mountaintop. How can a giant's sense of romance be so colossally misplaced? Why can't they fall for each other instead of trees and mountains?" He is the only one to laugh at his own joke. "Kidding, kidding!"...

Jack's eyes sparkle with the promise of a playful retort. "Ah, Zeth, I couldn't agree more wholeheartedly! Some of the best adventures can be found within the pages of a book. The thrill of a plot twist, the suspense of an unresolved chapter, uncharted territories in a sea of paper and ink." He...

Jack's brow furrows as he peers at the faded marks. "These etchings have seen better days. So faded. They're written in Giantese, can tell you that much for sure." "You know, I had a chance at one point to learn some of the finer details of Giantese writing." he relaxes into a wistful...

Merry Christmas everyone! And belated or early holiday greetings to all who celebrate other days too. All best wishes for health and happiness to you and your loved ones.

Flu season this year is no joke! So far our family has tested negative for covid, influenza A, influenza B, and RSV, but we're on week 4 of whatever it is we're passing around. Each kid has been taking antibiotics for secondary infections. Not sure what we've got, but we all seem to be on the...

Jack nods vigorously in agreement. "Let's go find Astrix. After all, hope is the last thing to lose, and I've got a few pocketfuls left, plenty to spare in fact." "I'm sure Astrix is still out there. You know, it kind of reminds me of an adventure back in the Feywild, when we had to rescue a...

We are trading a cold around at our house. Hope that you are feeling better, if not already then real soon!
