GM Steve -- We really gonna measure it out and leave scraps behind? Tuesday September 10th, 2019 7:58:12 PM Caelwyn responds to Flitch's comment about who would build the boat and what size it would be. "I confess we haven't thought much about that...we could probably find someone to help craft the boat for us, I don't think we have the skill. Good to know that we only need wood for the frames..."
Grindar begins, "As Caelwyn said, we will probably need assistance with the build, but as far as size, I figure one that is large enough to hold 8 or 9 medium sized people, with room for animal friends".
Bigby spreads out arms and starts measureing how many bigby arm spans it takes to build the skiff.
'Lil, wanting to get some sleep and go adventurin' again, takes a practical approach. "I think the right answer is 'all the druid wood we can secure, and that we can carry' right? We really gonna measure it out and leave scraps behind?"
Sol nods. "I agree with Lil, surely we will just bring back as much as we possibly can? There is no point in leaving any behind."
. If you are done looking through the Stone Temple, Flitch says, "Well, I guess you'd best start preparing for your journey." As you are leaving, he asks you to come with him back to his office. "You'll need directions on what you're looking for. Give me time to gather that information -- say, day after tomorrow. Meanwhile, I best give you a letter of recommendation. Won't do a whole lot for you, but it may keep prices down." Once you are at this office, he writes a hasty note saying that you are preparing for a journey of some importance to the community, and asking the merchants to help you as they are able. After he applies his seal, he hands it to Sol. "If you think of any other questions for me, you are also welcome to return tomorrow, of course."

Thank you Flitch, your assistance is very welcome. As they leave he says to his friends, I'm going to take my share of the 5000 in gems and use it to get Cyrchwr Mawr upgraded in the morning, hopefully it'll be done before we leave.

"Bed time, then? Looking this good takes serious beauty sleep, ya know?" She links elbows with Grindar and Sol, then ushers everyone out of the room. She pulls out the rod she took earlier, wonderin' how you bonded with such a thing. Maybe you just slept with it under your pillow? Couldn't hurt. She'd try that...

. The night passes uneventfully, and by the next day rumors are already flying. At breakfast Blain starts in, "They say you're going to leave us -- to look for druid wood. Can I come? I can fight, I've been practicing." This earns you a glare from Auntie, before you have any chance to explain yourselves.
You spend the day in preparation. (The letter, it turns out, simply lets you obtain items at standard prices rather than the inflated prices typical here.)
Grindar, Son of Grindor (Jeremy Canaday) AC 18/12/16, CMD 17, HP 25/29 Thursday September 12th, 2019 5:54:58 AM "Well my friend", Grindar answers Blain, "I have no doubt of your fighting spirit, but someone needs to stay here and protect your sister, and Auntie. Can I trust you to help me out in this matter, it would set my mind at rest a bit knowing that someone is looking out for them in our absence".
'Lil - (Carl) - 26/26 HP - AC 17/11/16 - CMD 15 Thursday September 12th, 2019 12:04:20 PM
'Lil wakes up with a crick in her neck. "This is the lousiest pillow I ever had," she groans as she wakes. She pops her neck a few times and rolls her shoulders, then tosses the pillow across the room.
There's a sleek longspear there. "Oh yea, the rod," she says to no one in particular as she picks it up. She twirls it a few times in her fingers. "Yea, you and I are gonna be friends. What to name you, though?" 'Lil puts a finger to her lips and thinks. "Maya. You look like a Maya. Hey guys! Say hey to Maya. Ain't she pretty!" She puts her new toy away and gets ready for the day.

GM Steve -- Looking this good takes serious beauty sleep Thursday September 12th, 2019 11:14:33 PM
Grindar (to Blain): "I have no doubt of your fighting spirit, but someone needs to stay here and protect your sister, and Auntie. Can I trust you to help me out in this matter, it would set my mind at rest a bit knowing that someone is looking out for them in our absence".
'Lil (to her weapon): "Yea, you and I are gonna be friends. What to name you, though? . . . Maya. You look like a Maya. Hey guys! Say hey to Maya. Ain't she pretty!"

Caelwyn: "Excellent...that could come in handy, who knows what else we might encounter out there! Time to make sure we have enough provisions and weapons for our journey. We must be prepared."
. As hoped, Blain takes his new-found role as a protector of the caravan seriously. Seeing how you've handled this, the merchants of the caravan start offering advice -- You should expect the monks to ask for a share of any wood you find . . . Yes, but don't be afraid to bargain for it. They should do more than point the way and send you off . . . Look for things that will benefit you both . . . Don't ask the monks for things the community can provide, the merchants are rooting for you, too . . . Expect the merchants to want a share of the wood, too . . . Don't trip over each other in negotiations. Discuss things beforehand or pick one of you to speak for the group . . .

Sol listens to the advice, and notes it all down in his book, to refer to later, thanking each merchant that he hears. Though he doesn't buy anything, he listens closely to what the merchants have to say.

Grindar hears the advice and thanks the well wishers. he than picks up the party treasure, and says to his friends shall we go sell this stuff? He gets to Auntie's caravan and looks for the wagon that appears to be buying and selling weapons. he then lays the bundle on the table, and says, "We have accumulated these various items, in our travels so far. We have no use for them, would you be willing to take them off our hands? At a reasonable price of course!" He then puts Cyrchwr Mawr on the counter and asks, I'm not sure if it's possible, but can you reforge both ends of this Orc Double Ax upgrading it to masterwork quality? Normally I would just purchase a new one, but this was my fathers ax, and as such it is precious to me".

GM Steve -- We have accumulated these various items Friday September 13th, 2019 11:33:37 PM Sol listens closely to what the merchants say.
Grindar tries to make some trades and upgrade his axe.
Bigby takes it in and waits to go.
'Lil is ready to go.
. "I'm sorry," one man tells Grindar, "You can't add the masterwork quality to a weapon after it is created; it must be crafted as a masterwork weapon." Grindar is able to make his other trades for an equitable amount.
Other than trading, the group makes a lazy day of it, while preparing to return to the Stone Temple for directions the following day as Flitch had asked.
Ooc: Best I know, you can do any trades in the catacombs or you can do non-magical ones in character. If you intend to do it in character here, you'll need to be more explicit what you have.
Also, Grindar seems to be wounded, but has just had a night's rest and will have at least one more before you leave.
Grindar, Son of Grindor (Jeremy Canaday) AC 18/12/16, CMD 17, HP 25/29 Sunday September 15th, 2019 1:20:56 PM Thanks anyway" Grindar says to the clerk, "Maybe someday, I'll be able to find a Orc or Half-Orc master craftsman who specializes in Orcish Weapons, and maybe they can make my dream come true, Oh and thanks for taking the items off our hands as well.".
After that he wonders into a place he finds out is a magical shop called the Catacombs, after spending sometime there, he places an order, then heads out to meet up with his friends. He immediately divides the proceeds from the sales evenly with his comrades and says, "While I was there, I discovered this magical store known as the Catacombs. I don't know how I got there, but I'm certain that I wasn't in the Sargrass anymore after I walked through a door that was at the caravan. This shop was amazing, if you can think of it, they have it, for a price. While I was there, I ordered a Masterwork Orc Double Ax. I was thinking about selling Cyrchwr Mawr, but decided to keep him, He is my father's ax after all, and maybe someday I'll be able to find someone with the proper skills to upgrade it, or hang it in a place of honor, if we ever get a place to call home. I just hope the new ax which I'm planning on naming Bwyell (Welsh for ax)arrives before we leave".
OOC... That should put us to our WBL if Ryan's math is correct

. The party spend the day making their purchases, practicing, and hunting.
The next day, you return to the temple to talk with the monks and get the directions they promised. Attius and Flitch are there, but so is Edith Culliver. The monks act as if they aren't quite sure what to do with her. She seems aware of their discomfort.
"Do come in. All ready for your trip, or are you planning on an early start tomorrow?" Flitch asks.
Attius says, "Or have you come to your senses? A long trip without a larger group is foolishness."
Edith adds, a bit disdainfully, "What these two are beating around without saying is that in exchange for the information you need, the location of druid wood, they want something from you. So do I, for that matter, but I'm ready to pay a fair price."
. (OOC: Items purchased at the Catacombs will be available before your departure. If the store isn't being quickly manned, you'll have carried them with you when the exchange goes through..)
Grindar, Son of Grindor (Jeremy Canaday) AC 18/12/16, CMD 17, HP 25/29 Tuesday September 17th, 2019 6:29:08 AM
When Grindar wakes up, he finds a package at the foot of his bed. He quickly realizes that his order has arrived, so he tears open the packaging to reveal an exquisitely crafted orc double ax. Carved on both blades in elegantly carved Orcish runes is the name of the weapon "Bwyell". Grindar doesn't remember telling the store keep the name he planned on giving the ax, and is amazed that the smiths at the Catacombs some how knew. He picks Bwyell up and twirls her around a few times feeling the amazing balance of the fine craftsmanship. He then heads out to meet up with his friends saying, "Bwyell arrived, isn't she lovely?"
When they arrive at the temple, Grindar shakes his head, thinking to himself, "It's always something", though he keeps his thoughts to himself, and simply asks, "What would you like us to do for you?

Sol raises an eyebrow at the three assembled, particularly at Attius.
"Let me get this clear in my own mind... you warn us that it is too dangerous to undertake this journey, yet you wish to add more pressure to it by asking us to do something in addition to bringing back some druid wood?"

Caelwyn smiles wryly at the monks. "Protecting your settlement wasn't payment enough, eh? Well, what else do you need?"
. Attius replies to Sol first, "I am still convinced that it would be better for you to bring more settlers first, then mount a reasonably equipped expedition for druid wood. Be that as it may, we have already agreed to help you find the wood. The druids have been settling in the south. The only one we've actually seen is at the foot of the mountains -- just follow them south and you'll find him."
After a moment of silence, Flitch adds, "When you find the druid wood. . . Well, Rattledam is not the only community that would benefit from having it. We would like to share it with you. Contrary to whatever Edith imagines here, though, we are not simply demanding wood in exchange for the information you've been given." He puts a box on the table, about six inches cubed. "This box contains a crystal. It had healing properties, but we have repurposed it to find druid wood. Right now it points into the temple here, where the skiff is. But if you take it from here, as you get closer to a grove it will begin pointing the way for you. So you needn't fear getting lost."
While you are considering what the monks have said, Edith speaks up. "You -- and you, too, Attius and Flitch -- will need more than the wood itself. You need the craftsmen who can turn it into something useful. There are a group of us can help you find the right ones, if we can find a way to work with you and not become competitors."

"Getting a good amount of druid wood back could be difficult, perhaps we can make some sort of cart... or perhaps a sled?"
GM Steve -- Do you have suggestions Wednesday September 18th, 2019 11:28:52 PM Grindar thinks to himself, "Just how much wood are we going to have to haul back?" but says, "Do you have suggestions as to how to haul all this wood back?"

Bigby suggests, "Perhaps some animals to help haul stuff back?"

. Attius seems a bit amused. "Surely you realized druid trees are trees. I understand even small ones can be quite heavy, especially while they're still green. I suppose that you may have expected to gather dead limbs from a grove like you would firewood, but you'll still need a lot and you wouldn't be able to build anything large with that. Maybe another skiff."
"Another skiff would be precious," Flitch mumbles to Attius.
"I think that if you can secure more wood than you can carry, you can get help to retrieve it. The creatures of the Sargrass won't have anything to do with it," Edith adds.
"In any case, although it is of the utmost importance, your expedition is also somewhat risky. The skiff is too valuable for us to lose. Besides, you're not even sure how you'd move it, and it wouldn't seat you all." Flitch says, "As to the crystal -- well, I'm sure a large amount of wood would attract it more, but a near amount of wood would attract it more, too. I have no idea what taking the skiff would do to its effectiveness."
Attius stands up. "Debate if you'd like. Things changed when the Sargrass returned. The long wait hit the druids as hard as it hit us, and I don't know what you should expect to find." He gives Flitch a look and a nod, then leaves unhurriedly.

Grindar feels as though he and his friends are being taken advantage of, but since they have a vested interest in obtaining druid wood for themselves, he is willing to ignore it for the moment.

. If the arrangements seem satisfactory, one of you takes the box with the wood-seeking crystal inside it. Flitch makes you repeat back the directions Attius gave -- south along the foot of the mountains five or six score miles. That could be many days through the grasses. After a couple of days the crystal should point the way.
"Are thre any other arrangements you feel are in order?" Flitch asks.
"Are you heading out right away, or starting in the morning? If you stay the night, come on over to Culliver's and I'll see you get a good meal." Edith offers.

Grindar doesn't notice the writing on the box, as he turns to his friends and says, "I ready to go now if you guys are, but making an early start after a good nights sleep before heading back into the death trap known as the Sargrass Plains is probably a good idea". Grindar actually would like to get going. The last few days have been a much need reprieve, but the people of Rattledam are counting on them, and the longer they are away, the more he worries for their safety.

perception 24. "strange, the writing on the box has been rubbed off. Oh well, no need for concern about that I'm sure. Off we are or, sleep then off."

'Lil didn't notice the box, but looks at it when Bigby speaks up. "Them wolf-eyes of yours are pretty good, dude."
She tries to figure out if it's just worn down with age and use, or if someone deliberately rubbed it off.
Either way, she's down with getting a good meal. Plus, Edith might have work. Nothin' wrong with a little side quest, right? Adventurers gotta eat (and buy neat toys).

Sol nods, apparently not noticing the box, but hearing Bigby talk about it.
"I would vote for one good nights rest before we go. I am anxious to get going, but feel that it may be unwise to head out without being completely rested."

"I agree, let's sleep for the night and get a solid start in the morning. We need to be prepared!"
Caelwyn doesn't notice anything strange about the box or anything else.
