stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [OOC]

[pathfinderq1]

However we end up identifying the scroll, that Restoration may get used pretty quick to bring Janis back up to par- if she is willing to accept further meddling. And Tessa may be able to identify the items one per day(starting tomorrow if we live that long)...

I don't know if anyone else wears a chain shirt, but Marot has no interest in it, since his death ward property is lookin' reeeaaaallll good right now. (props to Isida at PC creation)

Regarding armor, the group is currently equipped with the following:

• Jarrith: +1 mithril chain shirt
• Khensu: +2 flametouched iron breastplate
• Janis: +1 leather armor
• Ashlyn: +1 full plate, +1 heavy shield
• Tessaryl: +1 mithril shirt, +1 darkwood heavy shield
• Marot: +1 death ward chain shirt

... and in the group gear we currently have:

• Iron bracers of armour +2 (Group)
• magical ancient chain shirt (Group)
• magical full plate (Group)

So I would guess that if the chain shirt is +2 or better then perhaps Jarrith or Tessa might be interested in it. Regarding the full plate, Ashlyn is unlikely to change her current armor (which has the embossed ravens on it) due to her new responsibilities as a knight of the raven. I don't know if Khensu would be interested in the full plate either given his attachment to the flametouched iron he currently wears.

As the smoke clears, the group is left with several options: Search the records, up the spiral stairs at the end of the hall past the room, down from there, or try their luck with the stair from the Chapel.

Concerning our current options, Ashlyn will suggest that we go up the spiral stairs at the end of the hall and explore the next floor up (The library has got to be somewhere ).
At the moment I'm waiting for DEFCON to post Khensu's actions/reactions before Ashlyn says anything else.


On other news, Marot mentioned that:

"I say we head to the very top of the castle and then work our way down."

Whilst Ashlyn might agree with this idea in principle, I think her more practical nature might suggest that they proceed slowly and cleanse the castle bit by bit ... after all we have already cleared a part of it of the creatures that inhabit it and the more dangerous creature (the vampire that doesn't register as an undead) is much more of a concern and might require more extreme methods to deal with.

Thus we would be looking at the following events:

• find the library -> find the tome
• head back to the village ... possibly deal with the infected dennith guard
  (also a good time to order any work we need done from the caravan's artificer's)
  (possibly complete ritual for symbol ... could also wait until our return to the castle chapel)
• find and visit the three fanes -> do whatever it is that we have to do
• return to the village and resupply before heading back to the castle
  (and pick up any work that we ordered from the caravan's artificer's)
• return to the castle
  (find the crypts -> awaken the sunsword)
  (jump through any other hoops that we need to in order to do what we have to do)

FYI: Work is going to be quite busy between now and next Weds (grading, reviews, etc.), so slower updates.

I'm going to assume the majority is for up the stairs near the steward's office? I have only one vote (Khensu's) the other way.

Jarrith spends some time examining the records, and discovers a few things. <snip>

@DEFCON: Does Jarrith mention his discoveries about the financial records to the rest of the group?


I've also added the coins Jarrith found to the group gear.


@s@squ@tch: Since it seems that everyone is of similar mind regarding the scroll, could you add the following equipment to Marot's sheet:
- Scroll of restoration, break enchantment, and remove disease (Group)

Ping...

 

[Stormwind]

Added the Tome of Strahd to the group gear.

I have been unable to find a lot of free time lately, so I apologize to those whose games I am playing in or those in games I am running. I hope to get caught up this weekend.

Will be away traveling for the next 3 days. Won't have internet until Sunday evening.
