The Rod of Seven Parts: Kauai Team OOC

[CanadienneBacon]

I forwarded you guys back down to the crystal cave, or just before it. If you wanted to do something while we march back down there, let me know. I'll edit in any pertinent info as need be.

I'm good with it. So, did we figure out if the group has enough torches and lamp oil left? The party spent about two and a half hours exploring the caves yesterday, plus however long the lantern was left burning during the night plus another hour just now. How many torches and/or oil did we use and how much is left? It'll be at least an hour's walk to get back to the top later...

 

[CanadienneBacon]

You guys hadn't figured out how much oil and how many torches you had, no.

 

[Ambrus]

Well, uh, maybe we should do that before we trudge down into the dark depths...

Lessee. Here's what everyone has listed in the rogue's gallery.

Brakkus: 2 torches, hooded lantern, 2 pints of lamp oil
Gamad: 10 candles, 1 tindertwig.
Voadam: 4 torches
Chev: 3 torches
Maelicent: 5 tindertwigs

I believe Voadam was using his torches during the previous day's explorations so that would have used up about three of his (each torch lasts an hour), which leaves him with one. If the lantern was kept lit in the cave throughout the night for those keeping watch, that'd be about 10 hours' worth of oil; which would leave Brakkus with only two hours of oil. Having spent an hour walking back down the tunnel this morning would have used up Voadam's last torch. So by my count the group has a total of three torches and a bit of oil; or the equivalent of five hours of light left. Then we're down to candles, tindertwigs and light spells.

 

[Voadam]

Can we fashion torches out of the wood that was brought in?

 

[Ambrus]

Torches require more than simply wood to burn, usually some kind of wick or cord and a slow-burning fuel such as tallow or pitch on the end. I suppose it would be possible to make some if we wrapped some hemp rope around some stout sticks, melted some of the tallow from Gamad's candles into it and/or soaked it in Brakkus lamp oil. I don't really think it'll be necessary though. Do you think it'll take much more than five hours to finish exploring the caves?

Don't forget to add the 20 minutes Chev has when he casts Light.

It's Memorial Day in the U.S. I'm taking today off, see you Tuesday evening.

Thanks for waiting. Post is up in the IC.

Head's up, I've enrolled in discrete mathematics for the summer and was just elected deacon for my church. I'll have therefore have some extra duties to tend to that I previously didn't. This game should continue on without a hitch, though during exam times I may need to slack the pace a bit.
