"Sadly, that is not in my repotoire," says Kael. "But...if needed and planned, I could turn all of us invisible for a brief time."
 

OOC: Danth is okay with the plan, though I personally hate splitting the party like that. Still, Danth has no skill in stealth, so he wouldn't be much good for scouting.
 

OOC: I hear ya on 'splitting the party' thing but hopefully if the worst happens I can outrun anything they can throw at us... or at least outrun Jovik :]

If we are to do this Jokad would like to buy some leather armor and wear that instead of his breastplate. His armor penalties would go away then and his MS skill would improve significantly (+8). His Hide (+2) however... well Jovik may have to help him with that.

As Subatai says to Conan, "you are too big to be a thief!"

OOC: This website has been flaky over the past few days!

Built over the Yondabakari River, this wood building sits on massive wooden pilings driven into the riverbed below. A wooden boardwalk wraps around the northern rim of the building, and a flight of stairs leads down to a door on the east side just above the water level. The churning of four large water wheels under the mill fills the air with sound and mist. the mill.

You want to keep your distance, staying discrete, and the crashing noise of water relentlessly turning the wheel makes it hard to hear anything.

You spend a very dull day, staking the place out. From outward appearances, it seems normal. Deliveries of new lumber arrive in a holding pond near the mill and are pulled up through two chutes into the mill by ropes and pulleys.

Late that day a long train of wagons turns up with lots of men. They set to work loading timber from the mill onto the large wagons. It is heavy work and takes them several hours, finishing when it has gone dark. This shipment of processed timber or firewood ship are hauled by horses in large wagons towards Magnimar.

All in all, a rather uneventful day. You want to stay into the night a bit, to see if things get stranger, but nothing jumps out at you as being particularly odd.

One thing, though, and the one thing that pretty much made your mind up about this place from the very beginning .... over the main entrance lies the company name. It is all very normal, except that the logo, off to the side, is a stylised seven pointed star. It is not identical to the ones you have found on murder victims and Aldern, being rendered to look vaguely like oak trees, but it is close enough to make you think it is no accident.
 

While Jovik and Jokad are out doing their scouting, Danth takes some time to visit a local armorer, looking to upgrade his current armor. Perhaps some banded mail, since he didn't think that he had enough money for full plate, even with the platinum they had found...


Should we just split the 200 platinum by 4, so we have 50 each? Danth would like to try to upgrade his armor a bit. Also, are we keeping track of other loot we have found somewhere? We should really split it up so we can start using it. :)
 

OOC: I think Fenris did a tally at a natural break last time (as in, post Thistletop), but since then .... I am not sure. You guys need to record your treasure somewhere, perhaps in the character thread we should have a post that lists items, who has them, and we can score through them as they are sold?

You should have quite a lot of stuff by now, and in Magnimar should be able to sell quite a bit to obtain quite a bit of cash, but there is no way I am going to go through 37 pages of comments working out who has what ... I am just too lazy :D
 


OOC

I'll catch up on the reading, make sure what's what, and I'll post, ASAP. I swear, EN has been slapping my gaming around this past week or two, but that e-mail flood I had the other day, from them, was insane.
 

OOC: Is it the bank-holiday weekend that is causing the radio silence, or the recent ongoing outage of ENWorld? I would appreciate comments (on the OOC board) on whether we should migrate to another board. My preference would be www.paizo.com, as their messageboards are generally rock solid and they have a PbF forum that we could use. Comments please.
