Because the mine will be reopening soon under new management. Smokey also convinces the miners to vote for Astryal.</p><p></p><p>After those dirty deeds, the group leaves for Bremen getting there with one hour of twilight left. After meeting with some towns folk who are really on edge because of lack of sun tan lotion and the lake monster, they met with speaker Dorbulgruf Shalescar a shield dwarf.

He is tired of the insults from towns people. Jill reminds him over a third of the town are in the militia because the town likes to fight. Smokey asks about huge knucklehead trout what have stainless steel teeth. Seems about twenty years ago a knucklehead trout bit off his dad’s ring finger. The ring finger had a signet ring which proved their royal line. The group passed a bald head woman who was asking people about a certain stranger.</p><p></p><p>The fishing trip is long. Between the bad weather which made Shimmer sea sick, um lake sick, oh heck one level of exhaustion. A few knucklehead trout try to eat Smokey and Shimmer. Jill and three fishers get into an insulting match about certain towns people horning in on others special fishing places. (First time I seen a drive by row boating? Or Fisher rage.) The result being three dead fishers who Sandoval chopped up for chum. The lake monster appears accidently pulling Smokey in. The group yells and screams at each other on if they should talk it or attack it. Meanwhile Sandoval kills in three rounds. They all gain a level of exhaustion rowing the two boats and big dead formerly talking dinosaur back to shore.</p><p></p><p>They get the reward and start back to town. The people of Bremen are happy with free barrels of “whale oil” the group left them.</p><p></p><p>At Termalaine, the main group loses Sandoval and Tuk’n Rol. The assassins scope out Fredrick of Hollywood’s home. After the town rolls up the streets for the night at 9 PM, Sandoval uses his secret to murder four guards and Frederick. Tuk’n Rol leaves miner’s boot prints behind. Both beat feet to the mine arriving just after midnight.</p><p></p><p>The next few days are bruising. Especially to Smokey, as all the miners have been arrested for the murder of Frederick. And since he was is a miner and union leader, he gets toss in jail too. After a group beat down. Peaceful union meeting where Smokey is beaten to within one-inch um one hit point of his life, the union members agree none of them did it. The town cops are not convinced and will not release the miners. (Rats I thought I could push Smokey to kill one of miners.) Smokey finds out none of his so-called allies in the adventuring party will pay bail nor give him an alibi. Smokey also has bad dreams of a singing knucklehead trout that bites his face off.</p><p></p><p>They are too busy getting Astryal elected.

The dog weighs 40 pounds. Someone on another forum said you could use the carrying capacity rules and multiply by three or five the pull weight. A sled cuts the travel time in half.
