And I am here as well. Things in life have just gotten extremely different for me, so I think this game will keep me distracted in a GOOD way; so count me as still here and very interested in continuing on. I have more time as well now..

Wow. A full house. Lovely.

IC thread is updated.

There is no particular story arc at the moment. I am just sand-boxing at the moment. I have some general ideas, so I'm just throwing things at you and leaving you to choose which you would like to follow up on. There is no right or wrong courses of action.

I quick look over the characters shows that only Sukri has chosen languages (of which one is goblin). I can't remember what I said about choosing languages during character creation. I suspect it was that you can pick them as the situations come up. If not, we will go with that.

Strange. I saw the word 'goblin' suddenly appear on Jan's sheet

Let me know what you want to get for the characters and I will let you know what is available and how much it costs. If you are not sure if it will be needed, say so and I will give you any information that I think that the players would know or be able to find out.

Post your shopping lists here.

I was not intending on playing though the whole trip to the village and return unless there is something you particularly want to do there.

Probably a good choice. That'd take a month for PbP...

Preliminary shopping list (original equipment was light-on given the nature of first adventure...standard fare now, especially as Bayar is likely to be the pack animal):
- Torches. (or everburning torch depending on availability)
- Food (2 weeks worth?).
- Rope and grappling hook.
- Crowbar.
- Sledge.
- Tent.
- Draft horse+kit?

I think I got my questions across IC. In any case, I'm curious about the presence of settlements and availbility of food. Without any wilderness types this could end up quite critical. Likelihood of ending up underground is important, along with any unusual terrain (oceans, major rivers, mountains etc) that might need specialised gear. What are the odds we can recruit an NPC guide, or a porter (or both)? Could also end up needing a horse and cart to carry 2+ weeks of food for a party of 5, which partly feeds back into the question of terrain.

Pack mules or horses might be what we need as carts may need roads where all we Might have is trail, possibly not even that.

Sledge? hhuh?
