((Nah, it's just an arcane focus. I'm not even clear in the rules if those are transferable between different users))((Thosar would want to keep a few of the poison arrows on hand.... just in case. It'd be great for stirring up chaos when faced with heavy odds. Also, he could make use of one of the longbows until he gets to level 5. Does the quarterstaff improve spell attack rolls or DCs?
((Man, I am always forgetting I gave you guys that.))As for pulling a cart. If we don't want Ludwig to do so, I have a riding horse and 4 mastiffs to do the job.))
((Everyone forgets it, which is why I just have it in Thosar's inventory. >.>))((Man, I am always forgetting I gave you guys that.))
But...We'll finally have a corporate team mascot
We also have our charming little hobgoblin buddy.Discussion on Animal Mascots said:[...]does this mean Ludwig is becoming the group's animal mascot? So yes, a fabulous debate and diplomacy adventure should happen.DP is less active, so yeah Ludwig is probably becoming the mascot.
Oh.Keranos would like to make this wretched creature suffer appropriately for its disrespect, but as the rest of the Endowed seem reluctant to even let the thing die, he deems it more prudent to simply snuff it out.
Honestly, Galen is okay with keeping the arrows in case the party needs to use them. They could turn out to be quite handy, indeed.Fhiess' alignment probably doesn't agree, but making random things crazed to start a convenient chaos might be useful.
Wow, people jumped on solving the cart problem fast. I didn't even get to suggest Ludwig and Nyx may be able to pull it off before Axel beat me too it. Of course, that does make sense, as Ludwig is Axel's character. We also have a dire wolf that... probably won't pull carts for us yet, though that's likely how they've been doing it.As for pulling a cart. If we don't want Ludwig to do so, I have a riding horse and 4 mastiffs to do the job.
Excellent! I was actually wondering if Sagishi could use one, but now I have to ask about Fhiess' longbow capabilities.Also, he could make use of one of the longbows until he gets to level 5
The quarterstaff wielded by the devastator is or particularly fine quality, made of an especially hard wood carved with what are presumably goblin characters.
Nah, I've got it open in another tab, and I looked through it for things Thosar could subdue hobgoblins with. Kind of assumed he was wearing it...Everyone forgets it, which is why I just have it in Thosar's inventory. >.>
But can Galen read it?
Yeah, I am more curious as to how that would play out if the person providing the training were in the party, though I was thinking more about the cost and required downtime.))Actually, training during downtime explicitly states that you have found someone to teach you. It also says it takes 250 days to gain proficiency in a language or tool. On the other hand, if someone already has proficiency in a shortbow, it shouldn't take daily training for nearly a year to train up on it. But it would still take a while.
"Woo!"Ludwig ceases awaiting a response from the hobgoblin when Keranos abruptly ices it. "Uhh, well I guess that's that then." To Galen, he says "Eh, we pretty much know what direction the carts were going in anyway, even if taking an 'I know nothing' mid-interrogation literally is a bit rash, I don't think we lost out on anything of substance."
"Where to next? Well, I figure we can either see about taking down the place the animals are getting delivered to, or head back on to our man task and make for the north. Either way, looks like we've got plenty of booze to take with us!"
"While I generally work better with smaller animals, I might be able to calm them down.""Oh, and before we go, we should probably find a safe way to uncage the tiger and snake. They're dangerous looking and all, but just leaving them here to starve to death is kind of fucked up."
((Honestly, do we want to haul those things considering the weight to value ratio? I only have 4 mastiffs and a single riding horse. Once those come out they don't go back in the((Well, I guess the horses from Thosar's magic vest of party-wide forgetfulness will have to handle that))
Sorry to be difficult, but could we get a markdown on the "goods" and their weight in case it becomes important? Also, when you have a required time for the training decided, could you let me know? And given the circumstances around it, would it also require the cost, or would that be waived?Yeah, you've got hundreds of pounds to spare. Not enough to take one of the cages, though.
((Oh, well that puts a damper on that. I guess if Ludwig can lug it, he should lug it. Can even lead to some RP of J'raffa culture and a knight being turned into a mount))((Honestly, do we want to haul those things considering the weight to value ratio?

Hey now, Galen was so looking for a ride from Ludwig if the eagle didn't turn out.I guess if Ludwig can lug it, he should lug it. Can even lead to some RP of J'raffa culture and a knight being turned into a mount
((Haha, no objections here about Ludwig seeping free market talk into the party. As for the lack of cages, he's part of the majority that wants the heavy booze, so we'll deal with that as need be))((I'm sorry, but the Free Market comment was almost required here and has been screaming in my head for the past few hours, demanding to be released. On that note, Keranos was amazing shrugging off those attacks, and Thosar was an action hero. Everyone else really shined as well, and Peaseblossom spent the encounter being simply amazing. I also would like to applaud Mike for putting that together; it was very well done.
The lack of cages could be an issue, as I think we may have been planning on dragging one of those along, though I am not sure where the idea of selling it came from. Okay, I can see how that would be a thought, but how else can the party go shark watching?
And Axel, I think the verdict was that Ludwig could pull it, but the cages are too heavy to even think of adding. I could be wrong, though. A lot of the weight seems to be from stuff a couple of the members of the party will want.))
((Fortunately, that was all in parentheses ))((
Hey now, Galen was so looking for a ride from Ludwig if the eagle didn't turn out.
Yeah, Galen hasn't gotten down yet. I'm keeping an eye on that because I intend to include it in an in-character segment.))
Yeah, I believe you were the first to indicate having a character that wants it. Really, Galen isn't going to make a case either way without some need, but it just fits some members of the party too well.As for the lack of cages, he's part of the majority that wants the heavy booze, so we'll deal with that as need be
That is most fortunate, indeed, so it seems, though if Jackben wanted, he could introduce a UA Fighter variant character based around riding giraffes into battle. Not that there's any reason for anyone to even entertain such a ridiculous idea...Fortunately, that was all in parenthesesHey now, Galen was so looking for a ride from Ludwig if the eagle didn't turn out.
Maybe some of that useless goblin armor could be of use here?He takes whatever he can find, a rock, a plank, a nearby shield or lid, or whatever proves useful enough on a whim to begin digging. As he starts he says, "Thank you, Galen." After a moment's pause digging, he adds, "Besides, I want to make the dire wolf more friendly to us if I can so that it, uh, won't try to bite."
Okay, we may need Nyx to drop spike growth so we can subdue the wolf before we leave, and we may need the rope for that.Sagishi has rope in his burglar pack. And I like the idea of Galen teaching him how to use a longbow.
((Shouldn't we have a bunch of vials of poison too? I thought I remembered seeing them during the initial scouting session))
There are ten crates of bottled brown liquid labeled with the cartoonish smiling turnip; there’s a strong fermented smell to the fluid, and it’s likely highly flammable.
We may be able to buy more time to do that if Sagishi ties it to the wagon with a makeshift muzzle.We'll have to put down the dire wolf unless Galen, Peaseblossom, or Nyx can get it under heel, it may lead reinforcements to us if we leave it behind.
