JamesDevil: type /roll
MooWun rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,
chris107: then 4d6x6
MooWun: lol ok
SHARK: Yeah, it's a bit mysterious until you know what to do. Then, it's like, oh, ok. That's easy. LOL
chris107: or if it was a to hit roll for example /roll 1d20
MooWun: can i multiply my first roll 6x6 haha
chris107: SHARK has used up all the 6's for a few weeks at least
MooWun Rolls 4d6x6 and gets:

MooWun: skoobydoo?
SHARK: LOL. Yeah, it's wierd though. I'm great at everything *except* fighting...LOL. Aside from INT, my lowest score is Str. :9
JamesDevil: you can replace it with a 16
SHARK: Err...I meant the frown face.
SHARK: Yeah, but then my Charisma would be a 9. I have to lead armies of warriors! LOL
Smon: Shark rolled STR 14 INT 10 WIS 16 CON 18 DE 17 CH 9 - can replace one stat with a 16 & add +1 to 2 if human.
MooWun: what order stats?
Smon: STR INT WIS CON DEX CHA
MooWun: oh ok thks
Smon: Starting gear same as pregens - https://wilderlandsmodron.blogspot.com/2019/05/wilderlands-heroes-of-modron-campaign.html - you get horse , armour, minor magic item like +1 weapon or +1 armour, adventurer's pack with food, rope, grappling hook, couple torches
JamesDevil: ok, so my stats are:
10 str
13 int +1 = 14
10 wis replace 16
9 con + 1 = 10
15 dex
17 cha
Smon: Your PCs start in the service of the goodly King Anoethin, Patriarch King of Modron
chris107: nice
Keelia: i'm going to either ask for a re-roll or use the default because those rolls were WAY below average. even replacing one stat isn't going to make it an effective stats block.
Smon: OK can use 15 14 13 12 10 8 then if human add +1 to two
5:23pm 2019-5-17 MooWun Has exited the room
5:23pm 2019-5-17 MooWun Has entered the room
Keelia: ok. will use those default stats
Smon: Let me know your race & class and we can work out hit points
Smon: Also names - can be pretty much anything
5:24pm 2019-5-17 MooWun Has exited the room
5:24pm 2019-5-17 MooWun Has entered the room
JamesDevil: human - cleric
Jared Hammerfall
Smon: cool James - you want a +1 warhammer to go with that name?
5:25pm 2019-5-17 MooWun Has exited the room
JamesDevil: yes please
JamesDevil: he was the son of a blacksmith, so very fitting
Smon: Maybe his father's soul infused his forge hammer into a mighty implement of war.
JamesDevil:
Smon: Keelia, Bill suggests +1 brass knuckles for your Monk, +1 att/dmg unarmed attacks?
SHARK: My character is Gharthan Drandus, a Fighter and Knight of the realm, serving our glorious king.
Smon: Cool, as a knight you can start with a heavy warhorse as well as a riding horse, and a +1 weapon created by the mighty Generik Wizard!
Keelia: I don't think I want brass knuckles
SHARK: My favourite weapon is my Greatsword, +1. It has a pommel that looks like a mineature Tyrannosaurus head, with life-like eyes of pale amber.
Smon: OK Keelia you can have cotton wraps do the same thing
Smon: Or a +1 saves amulet if you prefer
SHARK: My warhorse is loyal, but he is aggressive, stubborn, and has an attitude problem.
Keelia: I think stats order will be 12 10 16 14 14 8
Smon: just to note non-fighters get str bonuses up to str 16:
3-4 -2/-1
5-6 -1/0
7-12 +0/+0
13-15 +1/+0
16* +1/+1
Smon: Fighters apply the highest bonuses:
17 +2/+2
18 +2/+3
Smon: to hit/damage
Smon: Other PCs - Chris is the Prince-Consort Sir Sigurd, Fighter-6, the husband of Princess Philomena Anoethinsdottir
Smon: Bill is Generik, the Arch-Wizard of Modron, the Flying Wyzard
SHARK: He's an Arch Wizard?
Keelia: I guess I go with saves amulet. But monks can use all weapons equally effectively and for some reason they give + to weapons every few levels, so I'm tempted to take a weapon instead...
Smon: +1 weapon fine too
SHARK: I thought we were level 4, Simon? LOL I feel like a scrub now!
DESTROYERBILL: shark i have the title of arch wizard in reality im a level 5 izard
Smon:
chris107: (If anyone is unhappy about me using my existing character I'm happy to roll a new one on an even footing)
SHARK: Ahh, ok. Cool cool. LOL
Smon: Modron is not known for its high level wizards
JamesDevil: quick question about the gear, the pregens have AC 16(plate and shield, does that mean 16 total or the plate of 16 a shield on top of that?
Keelia: does damage with weapons apply to unarmed / hand wraps?
SHARK: No, no. I just didn't want to roll into an elit crew with me being a level 4 scrub! LOL
Smon: AC 16 is plate > 17 with shield > 18 with DEX 13+
5:37pm 2019-5-17 MooWun Has entered the room
JamesDevil: cool, thanks
Smon: Level 4 is decent, as a fighter you get +1 attack per my house rules, so 2 atts/rnd in melee
5:38pm 2019-5-17 MooWun Has exited the room
SHARK: Yeah baby!
Smon: Poor MooWun he keeps Mooving on
chris107:
5:38pm 2019-5-17 MooWun Has entered the room
Smon: Hope your connection improves Matt
Smon: Have you chosen a class & name yet?
Smon: Keelia do you have a name for your Monk of the Flowing Waters?
SHARK: So, I have AC 18, 2 attacks/round, +2 To Hit, and +1 Damage. Using my Tyrannosaurus Sword.
Smon:
Smon: Plus level 4 Fighter is +2 base to-hit
SHARK: Oh, fuck. Yeah, that makes me +4 To Hit, +1 Damage then. Sweet, brother!
DESTROYERBILL: hey shark you should have more than just +1 damge at least +2
Smon: Level 4 Cleric & Monk get base +1 to hit, plus any STR & magic bonuses
5:42pm 2019-5-17 MooWun Has exited the room
SHARK: My sword is +1, and my Strength is only 15. (+1 to hit, 0 damage) I think that's correct. Where would I get more bonus to damage?
Keelia: Hali for a name
DESTROYERBILL: my mistake only +1 damage
SHARK: From my sword, correct?
Smon: Yup
Smon: Looks good Shark
5:44pm 2019-5-17 chris107 Has exited the room
5:44pm 2019-5-17 chris107 Has entered the room
chris107: Jared, Gharthan, Hali & Generik then? So far.
Smon: Cool
SHARK: LOL. Thank you, Simon. I hate being so lame in Strength, but everything else I'm like, super-human. LOL
Smon: OK group: Sir Sigurd Ftr-6, Generik Wiz-5 on flying carpet, Sir Gharthan Ftr-4, Fr. Jared Hammerfall of Mitra Clr-4, Hali Monk of the Flowing Waters Mnk-4
Smon: Hopefully Matt can join us if he sorts out connection.
SHARK: I hate to say it, but we need a Thief, Simon.
Smon: Maybe you can hire a loyal & dependable NPC Thief
chris107: ....
SHARK: Otherwise, we're fucked in the dungeons! Yeah, we will have to recruit a Thief. Gotta have a lock and trap guy, you know?
Smon: Chris, do you want Elfis the Elf along as an NPC sidekick?
Keelia: about my earlier question - does damage with weapons apply to unarmed / hand wraps?
Smon: no unarmed is separate from armed damage
chris107: I'm good thanks, Simon. hard enough playing one character
chris107: (and Fergus would not be happy if he croaks it.)
SHARK: Simon, can my enchanted Tyrannosaurus Greatsword make sounds, such as roaring when I unsheath it, or growling when he is hungry for meat?
Smon: so Hali does +2 dmg with weapons, or 1d8 unarmed. Also I'll give you +0.5 attacks, ie 2 attacks 1st round, 1 attack second, unarmed or armed
Smon: YES DEFFO SHARK!! :d
SHARK: LOL. That's badass, isn't it?
chris107:
Smon: :d
Smon: :d
Smon: CAPS LOCK LOL
Smon:
5:52pm 2019-5-17 Jimmy Has entered the room
JamesDevil: normal damage on my warhammer right? 1d8?
SHARK: Hey Jimmy!
chris107: (Hey Jimmy)
Jimmy: hi
Keelia: thanks! Also, I'll take the saves amulet as mentioned before.
SHARK: Warhammers are only a 1d4+1
SHARK: Heavy Maces are 1d6+1
Smon: Keelia as there is a Samurai School in Modron I'll say you can have a katana for a weapon, does base d10 2-handed
SHARK: I know. That doesn't quite make any sense to me, either.
JamesDevil: ah right, thinking of 5e
Smon: Hm, let's say forge hammer does d6+1 then
Keelia: Katanas are nice
Smon: d6+1 not quite as good as d8 longsword since house 20 = max dmg
Smon: The School is headed by Mataguchi Ton Lai, a Kensai of Far Karak
SHARK: Right right. We should have a variety of weapons though, correct? Gotta have a Crushing weapon for special creatures.
Smon: Yes, also Clerics can't use swords
JamesDevil: thanks for rubbing it in...
Smon: OK, who'd like some hit points?
Keelia: Me
SHARK: I do!
JamesDevil: me plz
SHARK: I have an 18 Constitution!
Smon: OK James, so Cleric hp is 4xlevel+4 base, 20 base. CON 13-18 gives +1 per level
JamesDevil: sweet
Smon: Are you on 20 or 24 Jared?
JamesDevil: bah, con of 10
Smon: ok 20 same as Generik :FD
JamesDevil: k
Smon: Shark, Ftrs get 5/level+5, so base 25 + 4 = 29 hp
Smon: Or you can roll if you like - 13 + d8x3
Smon: sorry 14+d8x3
SHARK: I'll keep the 29 HP
SHARK: I rolled here at home and got 32, so 29 is close enough.
Smon: Monks get d4s in rules so IMC levelx3+3, base Mnk-4 hp 15 plus any CON
Smon: Does Hali have CON 13+?
Keelia: yes, 14
Smon: So 19 hp
Keelia:
Smon: My initiative rule - party leader rolls d6, +1 if DEX 13+, win init on 4+. Sigurd has DEX 14 so I suggest would make a good leader?
Smon: PCs act in order of posting, then monsters go.
SHARK: I have a DEX of 17.
SHARK: But Sigurd is a Prince.
chris107: Fine by me SHARK, lead on.
SHARK: LOL. Is there a difference between DEX 14 and DEX 17? If not, lead on my brother!
chris107: He just got lucky and married the right gal. He was a pirate from Sea Rune until not so long ago.
chris107: Sigurd will do his best then.
chris107: if everyone is happy with that?
JamesDevil: go for it
DESTROYERBILL: yeah
DESTROYERBILL: you are also the highest level not just highest rank
Keelia: i have no clue what's going on, so i'm happy to follow
SHARK: Get Some!
chris107: Then Sigurd welcomes his new friends warmly.
chris107: "I hope I don't let you down. I promise I will do my best."
SHARK: [b][/b] Outstanding!
Smon: GM: The King has summoned you all and asked you to stop the recent disappearances on Lost Man's Trail. Patrols from Modron and the Overlord's Castle Gasconfold on the east edge of the Gasconfold Plain have not been able to find the source, though a few Goblin tracks have been spotted.
SHARK: Gharthan has a bright red cloak that he wears over his black plate mail.
chris107: "Your majesty, isn't that just south of Sticklstead?"
SHARK: Have we any local reports from Sticklstead?
Smon: Currently you are riding through freezing winter fog along the Lost Man's Trail over the heathlands. After a long day's ride (or float, for Generik), as dusk is falling you see ahead the welcoming lights of the famous Fat Deer Inn.
SHARK: Oh yeah!
chris107: "Patriarch Gavenar runs the temple of the Lord of Dawn there. Perhaps Ceratalor could compose us a letter of introduction?"
chris107: oh, we're off
SHARK: Beer for my horses, and whiskey for my men!
Smon: The Chamberlain suggested the Fat Deer, just south of the upland moors of Moorshead Stannery, would be a good place to begin your enquiries, as the disappearances have all been in that general region.
JamesDevil: Jared has been drinking the entire journey
Smon: feel free to intro your PCs to each other now
chris107: Cool, could we have the introductory scroll anyway?
SHARK: Does the courtyard round abouts the Fat Deer Inn look full, or empty?
Smon: The Chamberlain provides Sigurd with a letter for Patriarch Gavenor
JamesDevil: Hey all, names Jareds, so long as theres drinking money in it i'll keep ya standing (he says while swaying side to side
Smon: Area map https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRyHnW_la8h_9my1w2ZK90oMenVcTU6TBcbBZlEF17oU2Ni8QB85SPYM_znrKN1qvTTWhPs02TLxiqEMfl7UfijDy6MtlSu_Yz0MZ82JGQqNNjzWZBrtPUOaQNWEkju-gb5A5Rz4-m5KE/s640/Lost+Man%2527s+Trail.png
chris107: Sigurd is a big rough looking Skandik. Obviously not born into rank but doing his best. He proudly bears the sword Jouyeux and the Shield of St. Alkaia that he won fighting alongside Generik agin the servants of the Snake Lord, Set.
Smon: The stretch of narrow road between Modron on the Roglaroon and Seastrand on the eastern coast is referred to by locals as the Lost Man’s Trail. People have disappeared while travelling this trail, and the locals of the Gasconfold region try to only venture to Modron in groups of
Rose Dorrager, Fat Deer barmaid
ten or more - and preferably armed. The trail winds through a desolate and almost uninhabited area of moors, marshy flatlands with a few low grey hills, and occasional clumps of dense thicket, or copse of trees. The skies are often overcast, with a drizzle of rain most days of the year, making this a dark and dismal place to journey. The evenings are given to sudden mists and dense fogs. No one knows what has become of the unfortunates who have disappeared...
chris107: (thanks Simon)
Smon: Sorry, ignore Rose there
DESTROYERBILL: generyk is drinking hard whiskey and looks like gandulf the gray but on a flying carpet
SHARK: Gharthan Drandus is 6'4" and weighs 275 pounds. He has black hair and pale gray eyes. His hair is shaved short, though he is handome, but rough. Square jawed, prominent nose, broad shoudered, athletic and muscular. Even when quiet or resting, Gharthan has a hard, rugged demeanor that make him look like a problem waiting to happen.
chris107: Siggurd approves of the 10' high walls and strong gates surrounding the Fat Deer
Smon: Approaching the Inn stockade, it looks quiet, but you can see lights through the shutters in the gathering dark.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
SHARK: Are there any stablehands to greet us, or no?
Keelia: Hali's hair is cropped short and her skin painted with blue ink in flowing patterns. She appears slim and she wears a constant scowl.
6:18pm 2019-5-17 Jimmy Has exited the room
Smon: At the gate you see a burly young guard watching from above the palisade. He calls out. "Hail there! State your names and business!"
chris107: "Hello the Inn! We are weary travelers from Modron."
JamesDevil: Jared looks pretty scruffy for a cleric, stubble on the chin and a messy of heair
chris107: "We seek a night's rest and good ale."
DESTROYERBILL: i am genryk arch wizard of modron we are here to investigate the dissaperences
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 6, 3, 1, = 10
SHARK: "Hail, soldier! I am Gharthan Drandus, of Drandor."
Smon: The guard pales at the sight of the flying carpet.
Smon: "Arch Wizard!"
JamesDevil: "let me in already! I wanna drink!"
DESTROYERBILL: yes now let me and my compaingens through
Smon: The guard bows at the sight of Generik and the splendid Knights of Modron. "At once my lords!"
DESTROYERBILL: thanks you good sir
Smon: Hurriedly the gate is unbarred and flung open.
Smon: A stable slave hurries up to take your horses as you ride in.
chris107: "Well done on your vigillence. It is commendable."
SHARK: I dismount from my riding horse, and proceed to lead my riding horse and my armoured war horse to the stables.
JamesDevil: Jared pushes past
JamesDevil: "wheres the booze?"
Smon: Looking in the stable you see 6 riding horses and a couple draft ponies.
SHARK: "Ahh. Good, good. Feed the horses well, my friend."
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDB0jA5A920kF9EXVeY319fE19PbM_RXMsHyxvpvXxlm6GKXrbnSheC6L-6Tg1RpwN0KQ-1CYfoxRHX1VQSFBBPym5-wCtgphWcHeDMvuEOFk93ZPmwbHOUsM7uT7NH-31UsKMDDHD_t4/s640/Fat+Deer+Inn.bmp
Keelia: Hali dismounts and murmurs softly to her horse, stroking it's flank before handing it over to the stablehand. "I will know if they are not treated well."
chris107: Sig tips the stable boy a handful of silvers.
Smon: The guard points the way into the inn. The stablehand nods respectfully, grins at the sight of the silver. "Yes masters & mistress!"
JamesDevil: Jared be-lines for the inn
SHARK: Gharthan proceeds to go forth to enter the Fat Deer entrance way.
JamesDevil: Jared enters an looks for the bar
chris107: following his new chums into the fat Deer.
chris107: "Is Merrod around?"
Keelia: Hali drifts after them on silent feet, hands tucked into her sleeves
SHARK: OOC: Simon, are there many patrons inside the Inn? What does the scene unfold as we enter the main room to the Fat Deer?
Smon: Pushing open the heavy inn doors, Jared enters, closely followed by Gharthan Sigurd & the others. Inside is warm dark and comfortable. A hairy bearded man is at the bar talking with a well dressed merchant, while a shapely dark haired girl is serving a table with 4 Skandiks - a beautiful blonde girl and four big male warriors.
Smon: OOC typing as fast as I can
SHARK: LOL
chris107:
JamesDevil: Jared walks up to the bar
Smon: The blonde barmaid https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZxDApFLUHc5ugJfCZ7xsPaEQggTquNeXpaRH1yurC8QlJHtFFMmgtkjVBEtQMJQcGMkacDbGXBgCXibn21ntqPowpiTWqO47RERf0Wdtr03fDFQtt7sIUNN9GQRIp8FS0oSGAR8wq0OI/s320/Rose+Dorrager%252C+Far+Deer.png curtsies to Sigurd and points out the bearded barman. "That is Merrod, sir."
JamesDevil: "gimme a strong drink, its been a long journey"
JamesDevil: ooc ah, one of THESE game
JamesDevil: s
chris107: "Thank you."
Smon: Merrod nods. "Aye my friend, one Croy whisky a comin' up!"
SHARK: I shall walk up to the bearded man, saying "A table, kindly."
Smon: Merrod gestures across the mostly empty common room. "As you will sir - that one by the fire's good."
JamesDevil: Jared will grab his drink once it ready and bar the barman
Smon: OOC Would you like some rolls on the rumour table re what you heard before setting out?
JamesDevil: sure
SHARK: Gharthan heads to the fireside table, placing his helmet nearby.
chris107: Sig is happy to be out of the horrid weather and a table by the fire sounds grand.
SHARK: OOC: Indeed!
Smon: for rumours roll d12 each
JamesDevil rolls 1d12 and gets: 8,

Smon: #8 8
"If you can make it to the Fat Deer Inn," (the only inhabited place along the trail), "you'll be safe for the night."
SHARK: Gharthan eyes the voluptuous blonde, smiling at her briefly.
Smon: 10
"One of the old miners' huts is supposed to contain a small
fortune of gold."
Smon: 12 "You're only in danger if you travel the road alone

Smon: Your CHA 12+ Gharthan?
SHARK: Gharthan's Charisma is 17.
SHARK: OOC: Cha of 9, Replaced with 16, then +1 Human bonus, total of 17.
Smon: The blonde barmaid seems to like what she sees - the Skandik girl, who seems in charge of the 3 men, is also eyeing him.
After a short while a dark haired barmaid brings your dinner from the kitchen.
chris107: "If it's Goblin's doing the kidnappings then they're brave ones. What say you Merrod?"
Smon: Merrod looks at Sigurd. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3pxVTMl9jNgN-m5JqfV5aKnHy8GRGCoIUcUMCaCR_qMsvHkpOY-chPjVa2TB8dXQtFwAgF1qWhjCDwpjW7VhAbDJKo8jQGXHWerQbqyv_ZzBn4DKRcFO8J6vW8gOKcEDbGHuHoztlVrE/s320/Merrod+the+Bearded.jpg

Smon: Merrod: "Aye... those Skandiks are here huntin' gobbos too..."
SHARK: OOC: Hmmm...I smile at the blonde bar girl; and wink at the Skandik across the room.
JamesDevil: "don't get any idea Ghar, I don't do weddings"
Keelia: Hali wanders around the room, peering at anything on the walls, and generally examining the place
Keelia: as well as keeping her ears open
chris107: "have they found any?
SHARK: LOL!
Smon: Hali looks around - the Inn seems quiet but well maintained, clearly doing good business.
Smon: Some deer and wolf heads are mounted on the walls.
SHARK: OOC: Simon, describe the Skandik woman looking at me from across the room.
Smon: Room 1. The common room contains three large tables
with a variety of crude but stout stools and benches located
around them. At night the main room is lit by a half dozen cheap
tallow candles in pottery holders and two hanging oil lamps. The
rushes on the floor are changed every week and frequently have
sweet smelling herbs mixed with them.
JamesDevil: "Ghar women don't like it when a mans attention is split, i'll end up having to heal you up once tyey're done with you"
chris107:
Smon: The Skandik girl is clearly high born, though she has the look of a huntress, with an odd looking heavy x-bow at her side. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtS_pcnQmPYAzlDffAGAbB0TGbyjPhu9oq_whnmx2GEU_1AtMxy3MspAYzbKJfftV_bxcHeH8wGSMB1Dt3dt7FVWv55sWkQKEqcOqjwYRgNXa_I5NTtfOqzfaQheCzAyDs1sjXLDOwMyQ/s640/AmazonHunter.jpg
SHARK: OOC: James, what is your cleric's name?
JamesDevil: Jared
Smon: >>"have they found any?"<< Merrod shrugs. "You can ask 'em."
SHARK: "Ah, yes, Jared. My friend, it is good to be loved!"
chris107: Sig raises his tankard towards the group of hunters and gives them the Skandik greeting "Skol!"
Smon: Merrod: "You staying the night? Double rooms are two gold, the inn floor is two silver. You'd be wanting rooms, sir?"
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 3, 6, 2, = 11
chris107: "QThe hunting goes well?"
Smon: The Skandiks return Sig's toast.
SHARK: OOC: Gharthan orders a second ale from the bar.
chris107: "Rooms if you have them. Floor looks comfortable if not."
SHARK: OOC: Gharthan gently tugs at the blonde bar girl's elbow. Smiling at her, saying: "What is your name, woman?"
JamesDevil: -.-
JamesDevil: women do not like being called 'woman'
Smon: Merrod serves more ale. "Aye, plenty of rooms tonight."
The Skandik girl shrugs to Sigurd. "We hunt goblin raiders... A band of them hit a farm east of here four days back. We have trailed them to the moors... We'll find them and kill them."
Smon: The barmaid smiles at Gharthan. "I'm Rose, Sir."
SHARK: If a woman like you, they'll let you call them anything you want! LOL
chris107: "Excellent. You think they're responsible for the missing miners ? Or have you seen other tracks around?"
Smon: A heavy set, powerfully built warrior comes down the stairs and approaches the bar. "Food. Drink." https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3F4NmzkuZDVhWbLAL4yS4JDcmbSxSieWr8jmJeoh3JHz2xmo_S3IpvZXSfNID4jTIp4KLBzATc2kwjUMr7CTQSIVB9FLzilvSp9E03zPydV6bWma805lBevqFLHAP-HWfmUB9fSo3reo/s400/Barak.jpg
SHARK: "Rose? A fine lady in full bloom you are!"
Smon: The dark haired girl hurries to serve him.
JamesDevil: Jared looks back over his shoulder at the man, then at the Skandik
JamesDevil: "hmm"
JamesDevil: did the Skandik appear to be paying any heed?
Smon: Rose giggles at Gharthan. The Skandik girl invites Sigurd to sit with her party.
"We don't know... we tracked them this far. They're somewhere on the moors. So we plan to base here while we hunt them and kill them." She takes a drink.
"They're tougher than normal goblins - chain shirts, good steel weapons."
SHARK: OOC: Is the warrior armed? Gharthan searches him with his gaze, watching for any weaponry.
Smon: Yes the warrior has a bastard sword with ornate hilt, it emits a faint eldritch glow. He looks very experienced.
chris107: Sig puts silver on the table. Enough to cover a round. "That's unusual. Think they have a powerful leader maybe?"
Smon: His plate armour looks well used.
SHARK: Gharthan says to Rose, "When you are done working tonight, you should join me for a drink, maiden."
6:48pm 2019-5-17 chris107 Has exited the room
Smon: The girl shrugs. "Could be. We think could be 12 or 15 of them maybe."
Smon: /roll 3d6
6:48pm 2019-5-17 chris107 Has entered the room
JamesDevil: wow, not even attempting to be subtle
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 5, 2, 3, = 10
Smon: Rose giggles and seems amenable.
Keelia: hali drifts over to rejoin the party
Smon: The dark haired girl rolls her eyes at the sight.
chris107: "have you come across this Edward? They say he's the last of the miners still out there."
SHARK: OOC: Having rugged good looks, and a 17 Cha, one doesn't often need to be subtle. LOL. Bold works surprisingly well.
Smon: Merrod turns back to the merchant.
"So, Tem, good business eh? Another drink?" Tem nods affably, clearly already tipsy. Tem - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHzgCl1_WoC3BqKSaSYOwhyj92ioU2jkMlsY8PcesrS2nyLD2Y0fWDJ5NNuQXolDTVBtEot6VP2nxmOfDNRqHTa1Q0WLdKiC0QIVLZRAlsZ74IPEki2iXNimNEdXufRzrKXfTIY0BnAcY/s400/Tem+the+Merchant.png
SHARK: Gharthan pulls Rose down to him, gently. "I see you approve. Find me later when you are done here."
Smon: >>"have you come across this Edward? They say he's the last of the miners still out there."<<
The Skandiks nod. The girl: "I'm Varro - that's Argellan and Shikpah - the Keebs brothers - and Orlo there. Yes we heard there's one miner still out there. Heard he's trouble."
Smon: Rose sashays off happily to the kitchen.
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 6, 1, 4, = 11
SHARK: Gharthan smiles at Rose. Gharthan listens to Sigurd and Varro, takes a drink of his ale, and slowly lights up a fine cigar, relaxing by the fire.
Smon: Hali - it looks to you from marks on the reeds like a large party likely slept on the common room floor here last night. Maybe 10 or 12.
Smon: The freezing fog outside has turned to cold rain, beating on the shutters.
chris107: "I'm Sigurd, the lady is Hali, the wizard's called Generyk. The big guy is Garthan and the chap with the whiskey is Jared. Good to meet you."
JamesDevil: Jared orders 4 more ales returns to the table at the fireplace and begins dinking them one by one
Smon: Varro nods to Sigurd, eyeing your group. "Your cleric has quite the appetite."
SHARK: Gharthan looks over at Jared. "Jared, how is the whiskey here?"
chris107: "He's a thirsty fellow."
Smon: OOC BTW James do you have your spells chosen?
JamesDevil: "not strong enough to numb the pain"
chris107: OOC - What God does Jared serve, James?
Smon: Mitra
JamesDevil: yarr
chris107: Cool. Thanks
JamesDevil: cure light wounds, the old favourite
chris107: phone brb
SHARK: Gharthan orders a dozen whiskeys from the voluptuous Rose.
Smon: Garthan roll a save, +1 for high CON
SHARK: Gharthan offers a whiskey to Rose, and offers whiskey to Jared and others around him.
Smon: All slots clw James?
SHARK rolls 1d20 and gets: 13,
JamesDevil: Cure light Wounds
Light
Bless
Hold person
Smon: Rose (once re emerged) takes the whisky, and chats with Sir Gharthan, who is putting away a prodigious amount of whisky to no obvious ill effect.
JamesDevil: o thats one too many lv 2s
JamesDevil: drop hold person]
Smon: ok
chris107: back
SHARK: Gharthan holds up a whiskey to Rose's lips.
Smon: GM: Rooms - it's 2 gp for a room, single or double. I suspect Gharthan is looking for a room to himself.
chris107: Sig drinks little but enough to remain sociable.
SHARK: OOC: Indeed! LOL
Smon: Apart from Gharthan, roll saves please
Keelia: Hali isn't drinking
chris107: saves for?
Smon: Gharthan is too intent on seducing the barmaid to get one
Smon: It's a notice check
Smon: d20 roll high
JamesDevil rolls 1d20 and gets: 5,
Keelia rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 6, (+1) = 7
chris107 rolls 1d20 and gets: 17,
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20 and gets: 12,
Keelia: Apparently, Hali is too put off by the soft porn to do more than scowl at a wall
SHARK: LOL. Yes, Rose is a distracting creature!
Smon: Sigurd & Generik notice Merrod is plying Tem (now very drunk) with wine while drinking very little himself.
chris107: (Ah yes! S&W we just have the one save number?)
JamesDevil: Jared is still looking to drink himself to sleep
Smon: Yes
SHARK: OOC: Simon, how is the whiskey?
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 5,
chris107: can we hear what the landlord and the merchant are discussing?
Smon: The whisky is good stuff, genuine Croy malt with the taste of seaweed
SHARK: LOL! Excellent!
Smon: Sigurd tries to catch their conversation - roll another save chris
chris107 rolls 1d20 and gets: 5,
chris107:
Smon: Can't make it out.
Keelia: Hali looks over at Sigurd to try to determine what he was doing.
SHARK: Gharthan asks Rose, "Do you have any yummy fruit that you can feed me?"
chris107: he whispers to the Monk. "Merrod is up to something. Getting that merchant drunk."
Smon: GM: Eventually Rose & her handsome knight head upstairs to 'bed'. The dark haired bar girl sighs disapprovinglt and sidles over to the Monk Hali. "That one Rose, she sleeps with every handsome man casts her a smile!"
Keelia: she turns her ears towards the conversation
Smon: OOC: Gharthan you can ~fade to black~
Keelia: she has Hear Sounds ability
Keelia: 4 in 6
chris107: To Varo. "We will be out hunting ourselves come the morning. We don't want to step on your toes but maybe we could help each other?"
SHARK: LOL! Good show. I'm hungry. I'll treat the lass good!
Smon: OK Hali can make out the conversation ok. Tem is talking drunkenly about the big amber shipment he is taking to Modron.
JamesDevil: Jared is starding into the fire blankly....he starts hearing the screams again....
Keelia: her scowl deepens for a moment. Drunken merchant, big shipment, travelling alone, people disappearing. Large group having slept on the floor. It's adding up
Keelia: and she isn't getting goblins
chris107: it sure is...
Smon: Tem: "My man Eldhelm is a good sort Merrod, guarding all that amber while I sit here drinking with you..."
Smon: Merrod: "Sure is Tem my old friend. Here, have another drink."
SHARK: OOC: Simon, while Rose and I are playing together, besides being sweet and such together, as the evening proceeds together, I ask her about the patrons, and what she knows of the area and its problems of recent times.
Smon: Merrod's hairy hand passes over a third bottle of wine.
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 2, 1, 6, = 9
chris107: Whispers to Generik and Hali. "We may want to keep an eye on poor Eldhelm this evening?"
chris107: "Poor jared seems troubled and our other friend is otherwise engaged."
Keelia: Hali nudges Jared and murmurs, "Perhaps when you feel the need to water the plants, you may go on a round about way to check the area?"
JamesDevil: Jared jumps
JamesDevil: "huh, what?"
Smon: Rose seems rather ditzy and not particularly interested in conversation... she does mention that a girl, Daisy, the sister of Lily the other barmaid, disappeared a year ago, and she Rose, was the replacement. "Oh and Brad the handsome guard was gonna meet me at the barn, only I never saw him again!"
JamesDevil: "o, right, yea"
Keelia: She meets Sig's eyes briefly and folds her arms back into her sleeves
SHARK: Very good. Interesting!
JamesDevil: Jared wanders out of the inn and wanders the immediate area
chris107: Sig nods.
Smon: Rose: "Poor Lily was sad for months about her sister vanishing like that!"
SHARK: Gharthan plays nice games with her throughout the night then.
JamesDevil: Occasionally hicuping and and swaying
Smon: Jared wanders outside into the pouring cold rain.
Keelia: Hali leans over to Sig. "Any idea where Eldhelm is residing? Upstairs, the stable?"
Smon: In the distance he hears a wolf howl.
chris107: "I need to answer nature's call too."
chris107: oops
chris107: "I'll see if I can find out."
Keelia: "Check on Jared, first," she murmurs. "His disquiet is obvious."
chris107: He does so. Then looking into the outbuildings and finally going to chat with the gate guard.
Keelia: She stands up as if to stretch moving so she is by Generik. "Be watchful."
Smon: GM: Sigurd catches the howling from over the moors as he wanders out.
JamesDevil: Jared stand in the rain, head hanging low...
Smon: The dark warrior sits alone in a corner of the common room, nursing a mug of ale.
chris107: "Brother Jared. You seem troubled. can I help?"
JamesDevil: Jared drops to his knees crying
Keelia: She wanders over towards the warrior, waiting to be acknowledged or rebuffed.
JamesDevil: "it...was like this...the rain...the scream....i couldn't do anything..."
Smon: Generik has gone to sleep in the corner on his carpet.
7:17pm 2019-5-17 DESTROYERBILL Has exited the room
SHARK: LOL
Smon: The warrior in dark plate eyes Hali over as she approaches.
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 2, 3, 5, = 10
JamesDevil: "they all died....ut not before the screams had finished..."
chris107: "That sounds terrible. What happened." He pulls the hood of his cloak up to protect him from the raain.
Smon: (not enough fighting for Bill)
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 1, 4, 1, = 6
Smon: Hali has CHA over 6 right?
Keelia: yes, 8.
SHARK: OOC: HOWLING!!! LOL
Smon: The warrior nods to Hali, raises his ale.
JamesDevil: "it doesn't matter, Jared goes running off to the out house, where he throws up"
Smon: "You from Modron, girl?"
SHARK: An 8 Cha? Poor girl! *smiles*
chris107: Then Sig continues with his searching.
Keelia: "Yes," she replies. "I am."
Smon: The warrior nods. "Good. I'm headin' there."
Keelia: "You travel alone?"
Keelia: She motions to a seat at the table, a request to join
Smon: "No." He grins.
"She's with me."
He partly draws his blade. Eldritch runes glitter scarlet on the black steel.
Smon: He shrugs,nods.
"Name's Barak. You?"
Keelia: "My name is Hali. and she is a lovely blade. Are you not concerned of the rumours, Barak?"
Keelia: "That those who travel alone go missing?"
Smon: He laughs curtly. "Fools who travel unprepared deserve all they get."
Keelia: Her lips twist into a small smile. "Indeed. Might I enquire, why do you travel to Modron?"
Smon: "If they come for me ...Let them come."
He grins faintly, leans in towards Hali.
"I'm a sword for hire. I hear Modron is hiring."
Smon: He looks over at the old wizard snoring in the corner.
"That the Arch-Wizard?"
Keelia: "Indeed," she nods. "There is always work for one skilled with a blade."
Keelia: She follows his gaze. "Yes, the journey and the whiskey must have taken it's toll on him."
Smon: "Modron should take better care of the Destroyer of the Ossary Fleet - that's what they call him."
JamesDevil: Jared staggers back into the inn
Keelia: Hali folds her hands. "I believe he is of the mind he is more than capable of taking care of himself. As evidenced by the fleet."
Smon: From upstairs comes the sound of lovemaking... Outside Sigurd and Jared are looking around in the rain. More wolf howls, not far off to the north.
JamesDevil: "I'll take that room now...."
Smon: Barak looks to Generik, then back to Hali. "Guess so."
chris107: sig joins the gate guard. "Wolves are close. That happen a lot here?"
Keelia: OOC - do you guys want to try to recruit him for a hireling?
chris107: OOC - He seems able and he's for hire...
JamesDevil: could do
SHARK: OOC: Simon, is there a fireplace in the bedroom? I'm hoping to have a nice, cozy fire through the cold night. LOL
JamesDevil: but we don't know what our capablitises are at this stage so it might be a waste of gold
chris107: OOC - and I'd rather have him on our side than maybe agin us if things go south here tonight.
Smon: Merrod nods to Jared. "Yes sir, indeed! Lily show him to their room." The dark haired maid takes a key and escorts Jared upstairs - there is a landing with 5 doors, she unlocks one opposite to a large room with 2 bunk beds.
Smon: @Shark yes lovely warm fireplace
SHARK: OOC: LOL. Good good!
Smon: The gate guard shivers in the cold rain, or at Sigurd's query. "Aye. Always the damn wolves around here."
JamesDevil: Jared goes in, thanks the maid then lies down infront of the fire to dry off before going to bed
Keelia: "I can introduce you to the rest of my party in the morning when they are more sober and," she looks over at the wizard, "awake. Perhaps they can provide some letter of introduction to assist your quest."
Smon: Barak nods to Hali. "A letter ...would be good."
Smon: Jared warms himself by the upstairs fire. Downstairs, the 4 Skandiks are preparing to bed down in the common room.
Keelia: "should that be of interest to you, of course. I would, of course, be interested to hear of your travels should you wish to elaborate upon your deeds."
chris107: "Glad you're here keeping an eye out for us. Is everyone staying inside the inn tonight? Or have some poor souls making do with the stables?"
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 5, 2, 3, = 10
Keelia: "perhaps in the morning over breakfast?"
Smon: Barak doesn't seem much inclined to tell Hali of his deeds - but he nods. "Aye then. See you at breakfast."
Smon: The merchant Tem is now slumped over the bar counter. Merrod: "Better get ye to bed, Tem!"
Smon: The guard nods to Sigurd. "Aye you're right - got a tinker and a juggler bedded down in the stable. Merrod don't like jugglers."
Keelia: She nods to Barak. "I shall follow Tem's advice, after I check on my horse." she nods in farewell and goes outside to check the stable and see if she can spot Sig.
chris107: "Poor fellows. Just the two of them and you to fight off the wolves while the rest of us keep warm inside?" He grins in the friendly way of one warrior to another.
Smon: Barak nods a curt farewell. Outside, Hali finds Sigurd talking with the grey-cloaked gate guard, the cowl dripping water.
Keelia: She moves silently and heads to the stable to check on the horses.
Smon: The guard shrugs. "I got a horn... and Jawber and Sethwick inside. Jawber relieves me at midnight."
Smon: Hali reaches the stable round the back of the main building
Smon: B on https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDB0jA5A920kF9EXVeY319fE19PbM_RXMsHyxvpvXxlm6GKXrbnSheC6L-6Tg1RpwN0KQ-1CYfoxRHX1VQSFBBPym5-wCtgphWcHeDMvuEOFk93ZPmwbHOUsM7uT7NH-31UsKMDDHD_t4/s640/Fat+Deer+Inn.bmp
chris107: "Not Eldhelm? I thought I heard Merrod say one of the guards was called Eldhelm?"
Smon: "Eldhelm? Eh.. Oh, that's Tem the Merchant's own guard."
chris107: "I was at sea with an Eldhelm and wondered if it was the same fellow."
chris107: "Any idea where I'll find him?" Asks Sig casually.
Smon: "Er... Could be? Big guy, shiny bandmail and halberd?"
Smon: "Aye, he's in Tem's room guarding their coffer - number 2."
chris107: "Hmmm crooked nose, swarthy skin?"
Smon: At the stable Hali sees three men - the stable slave and two peddler types - huddled round a small fire while the horses munch placidly on oats.
chris107: "Common enough name I guess? I'll look him up in the morning. Now I better check on the horses and get to bed. Thanks again, friend."
Smon: "Naw... big nose, Skandik type - from Brezal I reckon."
Keelia: She strides over to her horse and murmurs softly, asking if all is well with animal speak
Smon: The guard nods somewhat morosely as Sigurd heads over to the stables. A wolf howl again, can't be more than 200 yards from the northern wall.
Smon: The horse agrees that the oats are fine, the stable warm, however there are scary wolfs out there!
Smon: Sigurd joins Hali, the two poor travellers and the stablehand eyeing the monk and the knight from their huddled rugs round the small fire pit.
Keelia: she murmurs reassurances and turns to look at Sigurd. "Any luck?"
Smon: S & H note the juggler's juggling batons in his pack.
chris107: "Hey Hali, everything okay?" he fills her in on the merchant's guard and his location.
chris107: "Those wolves are awful close too."
chris107: (Did they sound like 'normal' wolves or really big ones?)
Keelia: She relays her own updates. "Those wolves are close and the merchant drunk. Perhaps we should step inside again and enquire to Tem's health."
SHARK: LOL!
chris107: "You think Merrod would attack him here? Why don't you slip up and warn him whilst I keep the landlord busy?"
Smon: They did sound particularly deep & loud howls, almost like worgs or dire wolves!
Keelia: "And I would check on Jared again. He still seemed disquiet."
chris107: Or werewolves?....
chris107: "Good idea. Meet you back in the common room in twenty minutes."
Keelia: She nods and turns on her heel to disappear into the shadows
JamesDevil: Jared is currently rolling over in his sleep
chris107: Sig goes back to the bar and engages Merrod in friendly chatter. Offering to buy him a drink and to pay for the rooms.
JamesDevil: dark dream still haunt him
Smon: Jared's sleep is rather disturbed by the rumpy pumpy from room #5 - luckily it's not right next door!
SHARK: LOL!
Smon: Merrod takes the money for the big room. "Your friend the other knight will be paying for his own room, I'll warrant." He grins slyly, stroking his bushy red beard.
JamesDevil: I should have prep'd silence -.-
Smon: Merrod: "I'll have a whisky, then."
SHARK: OOC: Simon, does my room have a window to the outside?
chris107: "Aye, I warrant he will... Whisky it is. Those wolves sound awfully close tonight?"
Smon: Two windows, to N and E, currently shuttered.
chris107: james
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUyV5GGqoURx8yLikTh1GROxMFF9DQU_Lbv91peIc8UlTgxRR-JQee9_KV3UsL35qpJuKzgCkOEGyI25BOIdszFa1TRodBoVh2rQZ4-RPvh3JOfsFbWZBuDtqy-MXqbU9i_LMW9JPyfPE/s400/Fat+Deer.bmp
SHARK: OOC: Can I open one of the windows?
Keelia: Hali drifts back into the Inn and warms herself briefly by the fire.
chris107: (I am reminded of another in where the windows were tightly shuttered too....)
Smon: Gharthan is in #5, other PCs in #3, the maids have #4. #1 is Barak and #2 Tem the merchant
7:51pm 2019-5-17 chris107 Has exited the room
7:52pm 2019-5-17 chris107 Has entered the room
Smon: Hali notices the dark haired barmaid eyeing her as she cleans the tables. The four Skandiks are bedded down now, the two twins snoring.
Keelia: Hali keeps a subtle eye on the maid, lifting her hands to the fire to dry and warm them.
Smon: >>Those wolves sound awfully close tonight?<<
Merrod shrugs.
"Always been wolves, up on the moors. Reckon they got one of my girls, last year. Went off picking berries, never came back."
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 2, 2, 4, = 8
chris107: "Tragic. They sound like big buggers too?"
Smon: Hali gets the impression the girl wants to talk with her, but is nervous of Merrod, talking with Sigurd at the bar.
Smon: "Big... aye. They don't try to leap the wall, though."
chris107: "It is a fine big wall you have and no doubt about it."
Smon: Merrod grins. "That it is."
chris107: S tries to keep hi talking
chris107: to give cover toHali
Keelia: Hali picks up an empty glass and raises it slightly in signal.
Smon: The brunette girl nods and comes over to Hali. "More ale milady?"
chris107: "I'm told that not all wolves out there on the moors run on four legs?"
Keelia: "I generally avoid drink. What would you recommend?"
Smon: Three of the Skandiks are snoring now, but the girl Varro still seems awake.
Smon: The girl's eyes grow wide at Hali's words.
Smon: sorry - at Sigurd's words
Smon:
chris107:
Smon: about werewolves
Keelia: "Or perhaps you could instead lead to the bathing chambers, such as they are?"
Smon: Merrod's eyes widen too.
"Nonsense! No werewolves here!"
JamesDevil: ooc I think i just realised something
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 5, 4, 2, = 11
Smon: He scowls. "Such talk drives away trade! I'll hear none of it!"
chris107: (Merrod is particularly hairy I believe?)
chris107: S goes to pay the Landlord for the rooms and the drinks.... with silver.
SHARK: LOL.
chris107: handing it to him directly.
SHARK: SWEET!
Smon: (Merrod is very hairy). Hali nods. "Yes ma'am - we have a bath in the kitchen by the fire; lots of hot water ma'am!"
chris107: "Aye, I should imagine it does. Sorry about that."
Keelia: Hali's eyes narrow and she sets the glass down, and stands. "Yes, some assistance, my dear, would be lovely."
Keelia: She smoothes her expression and encourage the girl to lead her to the bath.
JamesDevil: Jared heads down stairs "i think i need a night cap"
Smon: Merrod takes the silver coins, chuckling slyly to himself as he turns one over. "Good King Anoethin... and see on the other side, it's Prince Sigurd! A good likeness, eh?" He holds up the coin to the light.
JamesDevil: "whisky please"
Smon: Jared gets down just as the maid (Lily) is leading Hali to the kitchen
chris107: "I never quite get used to that." Grins Sigurd.
Smon: Merrod nods "Night cap comin' up!" he pours Jared his whisky.
chris107: "hey Jarod, how are you feling?"
JamesDevil: "thirsty, this orta fix that though"
Smon: Merrod: "I heard it was a beautiful wedding! She'll be in the family way soon, eh milord?"
chris107: "I sure hope so. I am a very lucky man."
JamesDevil: Jared drop some coin down on the bartop, "night all"
Smon: In the kitchen Lily pours out hot water from a cauldron over the fire into the wood bathtub.
chris107: "G'night, Jared."
Smon: Lily eyes Hali. "Your friend spoke of ...wolves?"
Keelia: "Indeed, the howls did not sound normal to his ears. Nor mine. Nor yours, I assume?"
Smon: GM: Sigurd notices that Merrod is wearing tan leather gloves BTW.
Smon: very light & soft.
chris107: hmmmmm hairy palms no doubt
SHARK: LOL! What a bastard!
Smon: Lily shudders. "My sister disappeared on the moors a year ago. Two months ago a guard told me he saw wolves disappear into a bush near the Inn! He told some travelers - Merrod overheard and got very angry! "
chris107: (OOC did Sigurd notice the moon when he was outside? )
Smon: Lily pours more water.
Smon: No moon visible due to the fog & downpour, but it was 3/4 waxing a couple nights back.
chris107:
Smon: Lily: "He yelled at the guard, told him NEVER go outside the walls. Then the guard 'went home' - right before he and Rose were supposed to meet up... no one ever saw him again, either."
Keelia: "Interesting. Which guard saw them? Or can you describe the bush so I could find it?"
Keelia: "I suspected that might be the case."
Smon: "His name... something like Brod? Brad?"
chris107: (Stay on the path......)
Smon: Lily. "I never saw the bush... There, your bath's ready ma'am."
Keelia: "Barak, by any chance?"
Smon: Lily shakes her head. "No, more like Brad."
OOC OK if I stop there?
chris107: sure thing. A nice introduction
Keelia: Sounds good

SHARK: What? We aren't continuing into the morning?
