Sounds good

So, I really like the flavor of this, however I see allowing all ritual casting during travel as potentially problematic. For example: "I just keep casting Tenser's floating disk to bypass my carrying limits", "I cast phantom steed while riding my phantom steed", etc.Hey @Quickleaf,
Could Aric ritual cast speak with animals on the sled? If so, he would have done it repeatedly during the trek, to encourage the dogs and generally converse with them. He would also have cast it ritually before heading to the kennels.
Finally, if he could have done the ritual on the sled, then I’ll assume that he has an active cast upon their arrival, to speak with “Boy”, if ok.
I’ll wait for your answer before posting.
Thanks and cheers,

Yes! Sorry, that was my mistake. I'll edit.QL: Does Corse also get the benefit of Rustic Hospitality? I had thought that's what we discussed, that everyone just loved having her stay with them.
I’m absolutely fine with this and hear what you are saying. Speak with Animals is such a weak and circumstantial spell that it won’t really impact anything (heck, imho, it should have been an at will Druid ability or maybe a cantrip, or folded into druidcraft to have a cantrip that makes sense - maybe that’s the path we should take).So, I really like the flavor of this, however I see allowing all ritual casting during travel as potentially problematic. For example: "I just keep casting Tenser's floating disk to bypass my carrying limits", "I cast phantom steed while riding my phantom steed", etc.
I haven't had the time to analyze all ramifications, but if you're OK with a quick GM ruling of "yes, in this case, and let's come back to it later", then yes!
Just as long as this IS NOT interpreted as a blanket "yes ritual casting is universally ok while on a dog sled", then yes I'm ok with ritual casting speak with animals on the sled. Because I need to give it a closer look.
My 2 cents: ooc, I say you answer individually, this way players know what to do/what to plan/ what to expect quickly. IC, I say consolidate, this way we know where we are time wise, and there is no confusion regarding the timeline.Question about posting rate for anyone who wants to sound off: I'm trying not to overwhelm us with too many posts, cause with our big group that could easily happen. Do you prefer that I answer questions as they arise (e.g. post to answer Kobold Stew and Steve Gorak's questions) or do you prefer I give it time and consolidate my responses to a bunch of players in one post?
I'm good either way, just want to make sure I'm striking a good balance between giving you enough info & keeping the posting rate manageable.
Hey @Quickleaf, let’s go with normal speech from Aric, that the animals magically understand because of the spell, and he understands their animal noises.@Steve Gorak How do you want your speak with animals to sound to onlookers? Do you make dog sounds when talking to dogs? Or do you speak in your normal language (Common, Goblin, whatever) and the animal magically understands?
Sorry to see you go and catch you in another game!I’m sorry, guys, I’m out. There are so many posts between when I can look at the thread, and the posts are so long, I have no idea what’s going on. These games are usually a lot slower with a lot fewer people, and I don’t have a computer, desktop OR laptop, anymore.
Mac’s gonna to sulk for his losses the night before, and imma sign out. Y’all have fun, though.
Sorry to see you go, but I completely understand. It's definitely playing faster. And I'm probably overly verbose which doesn't help. Hah.I’m sorry, guys, I’m out.

Sorry to hear! Totally understandable though. It can get super overwhelming. Take care, it was fun playing!I’m sorry, guys, I’m out.

Yeah, helping may be tricky in PbP. I'll try to keep in mind when I ask for a check if there are possibly spots to Help. I'll probably make a bit more use of group checks too. It won't catch everything - but it might smooth over some of the bumps.@Quickleaf you asked about the speed. In general, I don't mind the speed, but take into consideration that skills like Survival and Nature can get advantage when multiple characters have the skill.
For your Folklore roll, I'll give you one truth, one lie, and one mixed truth/lie about the cairn... it's for you to suss out which is which...In this case, I was sleeping while y'all were talking - Lumrolur works as occasional guide and would support knowledge about The Cairn (Survival).
In addition, he would consider the stories people tell about the cairn
neurotic: D20 + 4#lumrolurfolklore → 14(10 + 4)#Lumrolur Folklore
Yep, that's absolutely fine!Also, I'm back at work physically, and my work network is blocking coyotecode. This roller is an alternative if that is acceptable. If not, I'll roll on the mobile...
