Who's posting next?
I'd do it, but I'm unsure of how to add on to what's happening.

@Steve Gorak I dug up a few names relevant for your PC's background. Feel free to veto or change, just some things that tie into the lore/campaign... The Vunarg Clan was punted around by bugbears, orcs, and other goblin tribes for years, eventually planning a mass migration to the plains – when another goblin tribe decimated them. The human druid who trained you was a talented wildshaper named Maeth "the Maverick."

Yeah, it's been fast!
Hope you're able to recover the data you need, tglassy. Computer troubles always suck.

Thanks, I made the changes to the backstory and made my first post IC.
I have another idea! if ok, I'll play my character as if he were a juvenile. I was thinking 9 years old. Another layer of justification for a low int, cha and str.

Lol, every time I look at the game, a page has past.
I gather we are being told of some murders and are gathering info, and there’s a card game going on. I’ll try to make my card post in a bit. It’s hard to do when it’s all on a phone. Not sure if/when I’ll be able to get a computer again.

My sympathies @tglassy. I had a similar problem when my last job installed a firewall. I figure posts take about twice as long, which is definitely annoying!

Hey @Quickleaf!
I noticed I didn’t used the latest version for the Goblin race (I used Volo’s instead of Mordenkainen). If ok with you, I’ll update it. It’s likely more balanced, because in Volo’s version, fury of the small (level bonus to damage) recharges on a short rest, and with your home brewed 10 minutes short rests, it’d be usable rather often. I also don’t mind Fey Ancestry ;-)

Yep! Between Jack, Russet, Corse, and you, the party has some BFE (big fey energy).
Maybe we can say your clan was more fey-ish, while most goblins in the Spine of the World less so.

Sounds good. I’m going for a good aligned green little bugger, so perhaps his entire clan was leaning towards good, hence why they were picked on and eventually wiped out.

@VLAD the Destroyer @Neurotic I noticed your gnomes have different speeds. Lumrolur is 25 ft, which is what I thought it was. But Logrim is 30 ft. Was there a change to the gnome race/lineage in one of the recent books, or is that a mistake on Logrim?

That is a mistake. I should have a 25 ft speed. I'll update my sheet when I get a chance

If you need me or anyone to cover dice rolls or anything – I know Coyote Code is clunky on a phone – just let us know?
This campaign should last a while, so chances are computer troubles will come up for a couple of us.

In case we have any premature PC changes/deaths, I've updated my Character Secrets document so that any secrets you already have, I've created alternate secrets to avoid repetition (doubling up is ok too). I'm not going to upload that yet – to preserve your secrets – but here are the new ones fyi:
- Auril's Fickle Ire - must sacrifice to Auril or increased blizzard chance, if sacrificing consistently gain a supernatural charm
- Bounty - there's a bounty on you, but criminals accept you as one of them
- Dead at Dawn - you have fated duel in your future that you're unlikely to survive, but if you win gain a level
- Dragon Geased - dragon has geased you to give it information, during blizzard you can commune with it
- Hosttower Exile - former apprentice of an Arcane Brotherhood mage
- Reformed Cultist - loathed by Auril's cult but familiar with its members
- Targos Rebel - trying to overthrow new speaker in Targos, with contacts
- Wendigo - possessed by spirit that grants you Wounded Fury when it takes control
- Youth and Beauty Everlasting - can't die of age, even though you want to

Wondering what to do next? The plan some players proposed was get info in town in Bryn Shander first. Besides talking to town Speaker Duvessa Shane & Sheriff Markham in the tavern, some possible leads in town:
- Visit the House of the Triad where the priest's murder happened (it's now occupied by Auril worshippers)
- Hit the chilly nighttime streets of Bryn Shander to ask around about anyone seeing Torrga's crew
- Do some tracking to pick up the trail of Torrga's caravan (either this night before more snow falls, or in the morning)
- Use Alma's astronomical predication to attempt to go to the next town you think the killer will strike
- Use what you've surmised about roads to head to the town you think Torrga and her caravan are at

I say we wrap up in the tavern (once that card game is finished) and ask some questions in town.
