[OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [closed for now]

[Quickleaf]

That works, we just need to specify in what amount of time (is it that quantity per hour or per 8 hours of continuously searching?).
Also, will 1 pound of food sustain 1 person for 24h? I’m assuming so.
Cool beans!
Cheers,

SG

Ps: there is perhaps a food finding hack using the find animal or plant spell. For your consideration @quickleaf

Right, it's "per day" so 8 hours is a good guideline.

I'd say if you're traveling in a way that's conducive to reading track & sign, following creek beds, digging up potential root vegetable beneath the frost, following meandering animal tracks to see what they ate recently – i.e. not traveling by dogsled, not traveling as "fast pace" – you could do this as your "Travel Role" over a journey of ~8 hours.

This is the automatically successful bit thanks to your Outlander background. So foods like... snowberries, hares, weasels, rock moss, juniper tips, pine needle tea, roots preserved beneath the frost, (and if you're near a lake maybe cold clams).

Yeah, the 5e guideline is 1 pound of food = sustains 1 person for a day.

Yeah, locate animals & plants would help for sure, but the hunt then isn't an auto-success so a check/hunt would be involved. The plus side to doing it the "long hard way" is that a knucklehead trout can weigh up to 50 lbs, and game like bear, elk, reindeer, or even mammoth (or dragon ) can provide a lot of food – even if you assume only 1/2 of the carcass by weight is edible.

@happylace
If it's okay could you have your character cut in right here?

I'm not going to have time to post until late tomorrow evening and don't want to slow things down.

If need be just act like my character's stunned by the offer and unsure of what to say.

Added the note in the original post. You decide when they find it.
Assuming it is nearing the hour of the mask time - after all, people came and went and the whole game of cards was played in the meantime...the halfing delivered the message, went to relieve himself and the gnome returned and watched the end game of cards, positioned so that he can see the authority pair.

@Steve Gorak sorry, I forgot Arik was with us in the kennels!

Just a heads up my work called a disaster recovery test yesterday. I worked a 15 hour day yesterday and expect a similar day today. I'll try to post tomorrow but might be unavailable until Friday.

Hope you get some good rest tonight.

No rush on posting. I'll transition to the next morning dog sled trip to Targos when it seems like everyone's ready.

@Aethmud I'll post this again in the IC after tglassy gets a chance to roll and folks start to reassemble, but fyi...

Spoiler: Insight check on mercenaries

They are well paid judging by their attitudes toward losing coin gambling, and happy not to be out in the cold right now. Morale is fair, not great, but not bad. Seems like even thought they've had their fill of wizards, their patron is having them head out tomorrow looking for another mage.

edit: I added "Mystery of Ol' Bitey's Verse" to your quest list on first page

I'm the sort of player where if there is a button that says do not touch, I'm gonna touch it

[Necropolitan]

So we're all just finishing up before regrouping?

 

[happylace]

I think everybody was pretty much ready to regroup right

 

[domminniti]

Yep, I could personally spend another few weeks going around touching fish and getting quest markers, but I'm good to move on!

 

[Quickleaf]

Gotcha. Let me know when you want me to frame transition to Targos? (assuming that’s the plan)

 

[Necropolitan]

Let's hunt down a serial-killing cultist!

@Quickleaf Where in Icewind Dale are most of the Romwod Clan located?

Probably mostly in Hundelstone (link is img), which is off our map - to the southwest along Ten Trail, on the south side of the Spine of the World mountains. Hundelstone is a rock cut stronghold-town of about 1,200 rock gnomes, dwarves, and a few human mercenaries.

Fair to say you have at least one relative in Bryn Shander - there is no specific NPC in the adventure, so you/I/we can make your relative NPC up & tie them to your Guild Artisan background.

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Sounds good, the relative NPC is my Uncle. I was sent up to Bryn Shander to assist him.

 

[domminniti]

I'm just killing time until we go, really. I think I have identified all hostile furniture (by doing the RPG version of walking my character around the room spamming the "interact" button) , so we can transition whenever

Uncle Jorlen Romwod it is!
