JamesDevil: I suggested leaving and reentering the room

4:50pm  2019-5-22 SHARK Has entered the room
Smon: A big man needs a big font!
SHARK: LOL. I'm back.
chris107:
Smon: GM: OK hopefully Matt can join us tonight. He was trying to connect on phone last time.
SHARK: Hello Chris!
chris107: Hi SHARK
SHARK: How are you doing, Chris?
chris107: All ready to unmask Merrod?
chris107: I'm doing really well thank you. How are you?
Smon: Matt was looking to play a goblin thief.
chris107: Someone who steals Goblins?
Smon: Keelia may be late in.
chris107:
JamesDevil: no, he steals FROM goblins
SHARK: I'm good, my friend. Got some good coffee going, and smoking a good pipe, as well. It is cold, gray, and raining here, so it is perfect weather for fine coffee and good tobacco!
chris107: Ah!
4:55pm  2019-5-22 Keelia Has entered the room
chris107: Sounds good! Wonderful sunshine here for a change.
JamesDevil: hi Keelia
chris107: Good evening Keelia
Keelia: hi everyone
SHARK: Someone has to come wake Gharthan up, and get the sweet cupcake off of me. LOL
SHARK: Hello, Keelia!
4:56pm  2019-5-22 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
Smon: Hi Keelia!
chris107: Aye, we have to make a call if it's safe to sleep...
chris107: Evening Bill
SHARK: Howdy, Bill!
DESTROYERBILL: evening
DESTROYERBILL: hey
Smon: GM: Apart from Gharthan (& Generyk sleeping invisibly near the taproom ceiling somewhere) you are all in 1 room, you can set watches through the night ok?
Keelia: I need a few more minutes, sorry!
chris107: Good idea. Hali and I have been up doing the rounds for some time
SHARK: No worries!
JamesDevil: Jeard has his own room and is sleep face down at the moment
chris107: Maybe we watch for another hour then wake Gharthan?
JamesDevil: Jared*
chris107: Jared is likely to have a sore head.
Smon: OK the night passes peacefully enough, albeit Gharthan doesn't get much sleep.
Smon: Map https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDB0jA5A920kF9EXVeY319fE19PbM_RXMsHyxvpvXxlm6GKXrbnSheC6L-6Tg1RpwN0KQ-1CYfoxRHX1VQSFBBPym5-wCtgphWcHeDMvuEOFk93ZPmwbHOUsM7uT7NH-31UsKMDDHD_t4/s640/Fat+Deer+Inn.bmp
SHARK: Maybe my sword can wake me up. She might be jealous of cupcake! LOL
Smon: Upstairs map - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUyV5GGqoURx8yLikTh1GROxMFF9DQU_Lbv91peIc8UlTgxRR-JQee9_KV3UsL35qpJuKzgCkOEGyI25BOIdszFa1TRodBoVh2rQZ4-RPvh3JOfsFbWZBuDtqy-MXqbU9i_LMW9JPyfPE/s400/Fat+Deer.bmp - Merrod gave you 4 bunks in #3 plus Gharthan in #5.
SHARK: Woot!
Smon: #4 is the barmaids, #2 Tem the merchant & #1 Barak.
chris107: Sig is grateful to have had somewhere to rest his head.
chris107: Sig warns those who follow him on watch of the conspiricy
chris107: (to rob)
Smon: #6 is a foyer/landing but it can also be used for overflow sleeping.
chris107: And points out the rooms of the guard & merchant.
Smon: 18/12/4449 You wake up next morning to the smell of bacon sizzling in the kitchen.
Smon: /roll d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets: 2,
SHARK rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,
Smon: Rain is pouring down outside.
SHARK: LOL
Smon: Gharthan finds the maid Rose already up and gone when he wakes, presumably cooking breakfast.
DESTROYERBILL: or is it bacon what if its human flesh
Keelia: ok, back sorry
chris107: Is Eldhelm at breakfast?
JamesDevil: awoken by the smell Jared heads downstairs
chris107: Bill, ewwwww. lets hope not
SHARK: Ah, ok. I wash and get dressed. I quickly oil my sword and pet it in greeting, before heading downstairs.
Smon: Downstairs the four Skandiks are eating breakfast bacon and eggs, eyeing the rain beating on the shutters. The mercenary Barak breakfasts alone again. The merchant Tem comes down a little later, followed by his guard, Eldhelm, lugging a heavy chest.
chris107: (we need to find some way of warning Tem & Eldhelm. A note?)
Smon: Rose the blonde barmaid is ferrying breakfast platters from the kitchen.
SHARK: I watch them casually while devouring the fresh breakfast.
Smon: Tem looks rather hungover.
SHARK: I make sure that I greet the cupcake cheerfully.
chris107: (or maybe offer to travel along with them?)
chris107: (Barak is also heading in the direction of Modron)
SHARK: They have any biscuits, Simon? LOL
Smon: You can all rendezvous at a table for breakfast. Rose gives her knight a cheerful wave and bashful giggle as she ferries you ham eggs - and biscuits!
SHARK: LOL! Awesome! After such a festive night, Gharthan is starving!
chris107: Sig whispers to his chums that it would be wrong to leave the merchant in the lurch and that it may also flush out those behind the disappearences?
SHARK: Simon, Gharthan feeds his sword a piece of fresh ham for breakfast.
chris107:
Smon: Merrod the Innkeeper emerges from the kitchen wearing an apron, greets you all cheerfully:
"Good morning, good morning! Slept well, I trust?!"
He gives Sir Gharthan a wink.
chris107: "Good morning Merrod. "
SHARK: Indeed, Merrod! Very well, thank you!
Keelia: Hali mentions to the others about Barak - his skills and destination and letter
Smon: Merrod beams: "Excellent! You all heading on today, or staying awhile?"
chris107: Sig suggests they could all travel along with Tem?
SHARK: Gharthan says to his sword, "Sharpen thy appetite, mistress. Prepare yourself for a savage feast!"
chris107: "We will probably be moving along but may be back by night fall."
Smon: M: "Aye, right!"
chris107: To Hali "Barak may be persuaded better if he knows of our influence at Modron?"
Smon: Merrod goes over to the 4 Skandiks:
"You going out goblin hunting today?"
The Skandiks nod glumly.
chris107: "Good luck, Varo. Happy hunting."
SHARK: "Do we want Varo and the Skandriks to join us on our quest?"
Smon: Varro nods to Sigurd. "I might wish for better weather."
SHARK: Gharthan speaks casually to the group.
chris107: "Aye, much more of this and you'll need a long ship to hunt them from."
chris107: (So do we join the merchant to guard him from robbers?)
Smon: Merrod goes over to Tem:
"Heading down to Modron, despite this weather?"

Tem nods, looking a bit wan.
"Aye my friend! Aim to see the city gates by nightfall!"
Smon: Merrod:
"Hum, doubt you'll be doing that in this weather!"
SHARK: Gharthan says to Jaered, "Yes, we should guard the merchant."
chris107: (Or do we slip out and shadow him?)
Smon: Tem shugs.
"A little after dark, then."
JamesDevil: "sure, lets do it"
SHARK: Gharthan rises from the table, adjusting his armour and weapons.
chris107: "Good merchant, Tem. We are heading in that direction. Perhaps we should travel together for safety?"
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 3, 1, 3, = 7
Smon: Tem nods happily. "An excellent notion, my friend! No goblins shall dare waylay us then!"
Smon: Tem https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHzgCl1_WoC3BqKSaSYOwhyj92ioU2jkMlsY8PcesrS2nyLD2Y0fWDJ5NNuQXolDTVBtEot6VP2nxmOfDNRqHTa1Q0WLdKiC0QIVLZRAlsZ74IPEki2iXNimNEdXufRzrKXfTIY0BnAcY/s400/Tem+the+Merchant.png
chris107: "And master Barak?"
chris107: "We may be able to introduce you to some fine contacts in Modron.."
SHARK: Gharthan approaches the merchant, Tem. "You shall be safe with us, merchant!"
Smon: Barak eyes the window.
"Reckon I'll rest up here a day or two. Weather's bad, and it's been a long road."
chris107: (OOC You think Barak is legit, Keelia?)
Keelia: (magic sword, on his own, likely as legit as we are  )
Smon: Tem nods cordially to Gharthan. "My thanks, good sir knight!"
chris107: (  )
SHARK: Gharthan gazes over at the group, slowly jerking his head towards the doorway, before walking through to the raining outside courtyard.
JamesDevil: Jared follows
chris107: Sig makes preperations for travelling on a rainy day. Oiling weapons, armour and such and rubbing the horses down.
SHARK: Gharthan makes his way quickly to the stables, looking back and nodding to Jared. Purposefully gathering his horse, and moving outside to the courtyard.
Smon: The four Skandiks finish breakfat and are preparing to leave on their goblin hunt, cowls turned up against the cold rain.

Gharthan heads outside, taking in the outhouse, stable, storage shed and perimeter wall.
chris107: Then will follow the big man.
Keelia: (did we want Barak to join us or not?)
SHARK: Gharthan waits patiently for the group to gather in the wet courtyard.
chris107: (no he's waiting out the storm at the inn)
Smon: GM: You ready your gear to depart just behind the Skandiks - they head north on foot into the upland moors, while the road back to Modron leads back south-west across the Gasconfold Plain.
JamesDevil: (he didn't want to leave, i think he's afraid of the rain)
chris107: "At worst we loose two days and keep a good man safe."
Keelia: Hali waves to Barak as she trails the others out.
SHARK: Gharthan gathers his horses together, mounting up on the riding horse, feeding him some sugar cubes in greeting.
Smon: The stable hand brings you your horses - Tem introduces his guard and cousin, Eldhelm.
Tem: "A very fine fellow!" Eldhelm grins bashfully.
Smon: Barak nods back to Hali as she trails the others out.
chris107: "Hi Eldhelm."
SHARK: Gharthan watches for Hali. Looking to see she is safe and together for the journey.
SHARK: Gharthan says to Eldhelm, "Are you ready for the journey?"
Smon: Eldhelm: "Hullo everyone. Glad to have you with us, sir knights, masters and missus."
Keelia: She murmurs softly to her horse, checking that all was well the previous night, before she mounts
JamesDevil: Jared nods
JamesDevil: he then mounts up
Smon: The horses seem well cared for, still a little spooked by the wolves.
Smon: You mount up and head out on the road SW towards Modron, the grassy plains of Gasconfold largely obscured by the torrent.
SHARK: Checking over the group quickly, Gharthan rides out of the courtyard briskly, circling around, waiting for the group to follow.
SHARK: Gharthan leads his horses to the front right, taking up a flank position, eyeing the group's front as we proceed.
chris107: Sig pulls up his hood up close around his head and falls into rear guard position. Is Generyc flying above us?
chris107: (A birds eye view of any hostiles would give us good warning)
SHARK: "Yes, where is our wizard?" Gharthan looks about for the robed mage.
DESTROYERBILL: i appear
DESTROYERBILL: wazzup
SHARK: OOC: Where is Hali? Jared I assume is taking point.
chris107: "Will you fly above us and keep watch?"
Keelia: she'll fall in beside Jared and Sig
DESTROYERBILL: okay
chris107:
chris107: "Then I think we're good to go?"
SHARK: OOC: Ok, then. Keeping an eye on the merchant, we proceed out on the road, into the driving rain.
DESTROYERBILL: does anyone want to go on my carpet i can take 3 people
Smon: The road is boggy and rutted with potholes, wide enough for 2 riders abreast. You make moderate time across the plain.
chris107: I think maybe boots on the ground will be needed if we are attacked?
Smon: Gharthan takes the front, Sigurd the rear of the convoy, Tem & Eldhelm in the middle, the heavy chest on a separate draft mare.
JamesDevil: "I'm good down here"
SHARK: OOC: Yes, riding forward cautiously. Scanning eyes to and fro, watching the trees and brush
Keelia: Hali shakes her head at the offer.
JamesDevil: @smn Cure wounds prep btw
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
SHARK: OOC: Simon, Gharthan rides forward some 50 yards or so, watching the brush.
chris107: Sig keeps a wary watch to the rear.
Keelia: Hali has all her senses on high alert (thieving skills)
Smon: GM: By the time night falls you have travelled about 30 miles over the plain - in good weather you'd likely be able to glimpse the Estuary of Roglaroon in the distance - and are a few miles from the crossroads where it meets the coast road north from Modron. There is an inn there, the Errant Inn, with a small thorpe around it, where you might find shelter for the night. Suddenly you sense danger...
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,

SHARK: Fuck! Gharthan raises a shout to his comrades, and launches his mighty steed towards the beasts, lance levelled at the ready.
chris107: Initiative?
Keelia: Hali leaps down from her horse, moves away from the road, and draws her katana.
Smon: Three of them - they attack your front and rear guards, and one goes for Eldhelm at the centre of the convoy. They got surprise so free attacks.
SHARK rolls 1d20 and gets: 19,
JamesDevil rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,

SHARK: Gharthan charges the nearest wolf, seeking to spear the beast with my Lance.
chris107: done.
Smon: The wolf is on Gharthan so he can't charge it
Smon: Sigurd's wolf looks surprised as the blade cuts deep bloody wounds
Smon: Gharthan you could draw sword & fight with it?
SHARK: Ok. I drop my lance, and grapple with the wolf. Seeking to draw my axe and hack at it.
Smon: OK you get your axe out & can attack
SHARK rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 11, (+2) = 13
Smon: You are at least +3 (+2 BTH, +1 STR 15)

SHARK: Gharthan snarls at the wolf as he strikes with his axe
SHARK: Non magical, yes.
DESTROYERBILL: ill use sleep
Smon: The axe seems to have no effect - the wounds closing instantly!
Smon: Generik hurriedly pages through his spell book...
SHARK: OOC: Simon, can I grapple the wolf, and bite him?
Smon: OOC maybe next round
5:53pm  2019-5-22 MooWun Has entered the room
SHARK: LOL. Ok. See what a natural attack does, non-metal.
chris107: Hi Matt
DESTROYERBILL: hi matt
MooWun: I ... I ... I...
Smon: Generik casts Sleep on the middle wolf - no effect!
MooWun: I am sorry I am late master
SHARK: Matt! Greetings! What is Moo by the way?
MooWun: OOC Moo = Pig
SHARK: LOL
Smon: Eldhelm swipes at the wolf with his halberd - no effect!
JamesDevil: surely Moo would be a cow
Smon: What are Hali & Jared doing?
Smon: Hi Matt
MooWun: :-D
JamesDevil: Ladies first Hali

Smon: Jared are you doing anything?
JamesDevil: Jared casts speak to animals and asks the undamged one to stop fighting
Smon: Jared howls like a wolf!
Smon: The wolves pull back, then turn & flee into the night! (withdrawal action)
Smon: Matt do you want to roll your stats now?
JamesDevil: Jared turns to the group
JamesDevil: "that wasn't so hard was it?"
SHARK: Can Gharthan bite his retreating wolf?
chris107: "They were no normal wolves..."
JamesDevil: Jared smugly walks back to his horse
Keelia: (do you want to turn into a werewolf)_
Smon: Eldhelm: "That wolf ...! My halberd pased right through it!"
Smon: (no Gharthan cannot bite the wolf)
chris107: Sig inspects the dead one.
Keelia: Hali crouches down to investigate the one she killed
chris107: (one of the Skandiks?)
Smon: Sig & Hali dismount to inspect the wolf - where a dead wolf lay, now lies the naked headless corpse - of a Man!
SHARK: OOC: Very well, then. Gharthan shall gain his lance, and remount his valiant steed.
Smon: You don't recognise him, though he is quite hairy.
chris107: Do we recognize him?
chris107: ah
chris107: "Let's burn it."
SHARK: "MMM. A group of werewolves!"
Smon: The bearded bloody face of a stranger glares up at you from the muddy road.
Smon: In the distance you hear howling - then answering howls.
Smon: Sounds like two packs, the larger one further off.
chris107: Is there anywhere defensible close by?
Smon: Tem: "A werewolf! Egads!"
chris107: Copse of trees, boulders etc.
SHARK: OOC: Gharthan straps his lance, and draws his Tyrannosaurus sword.
Smon: The plain is pretty empty, and visibility is about 50'. You're about 5 miles from the Errant Inn though.
chris107: Somewhere we can protect the horses and those without magical weapons?
chris107: Then let's press on.
JamesDevil: "can we make it to the next inn?"
Smon: Tem: "We must flee for shelter!"
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 1, 4, 3, = 8
JamesDevil: Jared leads the group at full gallop
Keelia: Hali calls out to her horse and mounts, calling out for as much speed as could be given
chris107: "We will head for the Inn, those without magical weapons stay between...." he watches Jared set off.
SHARK: Gharthan speaks brusquely; "NO. We shall proceed slowly, in good order."
Smon: Most of you should be able to outdistance wolves - the exception being the heavy laden draft horse.
Smon: Jared goes galloping off down the trail.
chris107: "Sig stays with the draft horse, leading it at best speed.
JamesDevil: how long before he realises that they arn't following?
JamesDevil: at least a t a reasonalble speed?
Smon: Jared realises the others are following at a slow pace.
SHARK: OOC: Gharthan rides slowly next to Sig, watching for enemies in the dying light.
chris107: "Those of you with enchanted weapons to me. The rest to the inn!"
Keelia: Sig has the draft in a gallop or not?
chris107: as fast as he dare.
Smon: GM: You begin to glimpse the dark shapes of wolves, fanning out in a semicircle behind you 6 or 8 maybe.
Smon: /roll 3d6
JamesDevil: who doesn't have enchanted weapons? Jared doesn't
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 6, 2, 4, = 12
chris107: Jared has his enchanted warhammer?
MooWun: delicious
Smon: Sigurd realises that anything faster than a trot in these conditions risk breaking a horse's ankle in a pothole, so he's at a fast trot.
chris107: cool, Joyeux and the shield of St. Alkaia will protect us.
JamesDevil: Jared will gallop back to the group
Smon: Tem looks to Sigurd, nods: "See you at the Inn, friend. Come, Eldhelm!" The two merchants spur their horses forward, leaving Sigurd with the treasure-horse.
chris107: (the reformed pirate within him gives a groan  )
JamesDevil: Jared jumps from his horses
Smon: As the wolves close in on you, Tem and Eldhelm swiftly canter out of sight. The wolves close on the rear guard... Sigurd roll group init
SHARK: OOC: Gharthan rides steadily, Tyrannosaurus sword held at the ready. Watching for enemies.
chris107 rolls 1d6+1 and gets: 5, (+1) = 6
JamesDevil rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,
Smon: OK as the wolves close in - you count 7 now - you have the initiative. Your horses are nervous but under control.

Smon: Magic Missiles shoot down from above, striking the biggest wolf!
Smon: It howls in pain.
chris107: Are any within striking range of Sig?
SHARK: OOC: Simon, any advantage in Gharthan attacking a wolf from behind or the flank?

Keelia: "Can anyone see that last wolf? Find its tracks?"
chris107: "Now lop off their heads and let's get the wounded and the chest to the inn."
chris107: nice
MooWun: murderise...hur hur hur
chris107: "I can not see in the dark."
Smon: With the darkness and the pouring rain, not much chance of tracking a wolf.
Keelia: (apparently monks get +5% xp as a prime attribite?)
chris107: "And you and our mighty knight are barely alive."
Smon: The dead werewolf has turned into a wild looking woman with matted hair.
SHARK: OOC: 1100 +15% Bonus for Gharthan, 1100+165 correct?
Smon: Yes you get a bunch of +5%s by attribute, you can add those to your XP
Smon: That looks right Shark.
JamesDevil: sweet
SHARK: OOC: Good good. 1265 XP for Gharthan.
Smon: Cha 13 = +5%, Wis 13+ = +5%, prime 13+ = +5%,
SHARK: Gharthan stands there, looking over the group. "Everyone alive and well?"
Smon: The pack horse has cantered on aways, but Sigurd is able to recover it.
chris107: "Everyone but you and Hali."#
Keelia: (sorry, do we get more than 1 +5? How do we calculate?)
Smon: The horses whinny at the stench of blood.
SHARK: OOC: Yes, indeed. Gharthan gains a +15% XP bonus, because he's super-human. LOL
Smon: Cha 13 = +5%, Wis 13+ = +5%, prime 13+ = +5%
chris107: Does Sigurd know aught of werewolves and their bites?
JamesDevil: "I slaped a heal on her, best i can do for now"
DESTROYERBILL: i also gain +15%
MooWun: Aroooo
Keelia: (thanks, I thought that was specifically for shark)
Smon: So Monks get +10% if WIS 13+ and +5% if CHA 13+ it looks like.
Keelia: (so Hali only get 5% - as her wis is her prime attribute)
Smon: (no they stack)
Smon: brb

SHARK: Gharthan says, "Well, are we able to move on to the tavern?"
Keelia: (awesome, thanks, so +10 then)
chris107: "Those are nasty wounds. You should get them looked at."
chris107: brb
JamesDevil: what if Wis is my prime?
SHARK: Gharthan says to Hali, "Hali, are you well? How are your wounds?"
JamesDevil: do i gte the bonus twice?
Keelia: (simon says they stack, so you get +10% for wis like me)
JamesDevil: k, so so +5 for charisma as well or just +10 for Wis?
Keelia: Hali looks at Ghar and then down at herself. "I've been better." (she's at just under 50% health) "But Jared has dealt with the worst. I can travel and even hunt the werewolf"
Smon: They all stack so +15
Smon: /roll d8
JamesDevil: cool, thanks
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets: 3,
Keelia: (if your CHA is over 13, then you get 15%)
chris107: "Can we even see it in the dark, hali?"
Smon: The rain has eased up since this morning, but still pretty bad. Your chances of tracking the wold over the moors at night without a Ranger aren't great.
Smon: wolf
chris107: "And the rain will take it's tracks."
SHARK: OOC: Yes, Simon, can we pursue the wolf?
chris107: "Let us get to saftey."
Smon: You can head in its general direction if you like
MooWun: Arooo
Smon: (there is a handy mishap table)
SHARK: Gharthan says, "Very well, my friends. Lets get to the Inn."
chris107: "You will wander these wet moors all night in search of a wolf?"
Keelia: "We can look for a trail. If we cannot find it, we shall tie a handkerchief here so we know where to look, although, I suspect we could travel back to the inn from earlier and check the bushes and be equally as successful."
Smon: No obvious trail. OK rounding up the horses you decide to head on to the Inn
Keelia: She explains about the bushes and the conversation with the tavern girl Rose
Keelia: as they travel back
chris107: "Indeed. For now let's get dry and safe and get those wounds looked at?"
JamesDevil: "I doubt it will be hard for them to find US if we stay out at night"
Smon: 5 miles and a couple hours later you reach the welcoming sight and beery fug of the Errant Inn, where Tem and Eldhelm are waiting for you, warm and dry. They are very pleased to see you.
Smon: Tem beckons you to his table, where a homely barmaid pours ale: "A thousand thanks, my friends! You have my cargo?"
SHARK: Gharthan says, "Hail, friends. The night was interesting, to be sure!"
chris107: (@ Simon, have any of us heard tales of those bitten by werewolves?)
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 1, 6, 5, = 12
SHARK: Gharthan says, "Yes, Tem, the cargo is safe."
chris107: "Aye we have your treasure."
Smon: With INT 12+ you have heard those ravaged by werewolves become Lycanthropes themselves.
SHARK: "Wench! Food and drink for my friends!"
chris107: That's me out then
Smon: The wench distributes ale and steaming platters of mutton and mashed turnip.
JamesDevil: "err,guys, we may have a problem...people bitten by were folk tend to become werefolk themselves..
SHARK: Gharthan muses, "Does that mean we must burn Jared at the stake?"
chris107: Sigurd looks at the wolf bites on Gharthan's legs...
JamesDevil: "I wasn't bitten, Hali was repeatedly, not sure anout the rest of yoou"
SHARK: Gharthan looks over at Jared, smiling wistfully.
chris107: and those sustained by Hali
Keelia: Hali considers her wounds. "I believe I was bit by a normal wolf. But blood is as water, if we wash and pray to Modron, River Goddess, perhaps she can stem the sickness."
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 4, 5, 4, = 13
chris107: "My father in law is patriach of Mitra back in Modron. He would know what to do with such wounds I am sure."
Smon: WIS 13+ You know that the Hands of the True King are the hands of a healer - if anyone can prevent the onset of lycanthropy, it would indeed be Sigurd's father in law, the King, Anoethin!
chris107: Sigurd too avoided any wounds. St. Alkaia and the Lord of Dawn sheltered him from harm
SHARK: "If I am to be a savage beast, I shall wander the wilderness, hunting down the werewolves and bathing in their blood!"
MooWun: Arooooo
chris107: "perhaps a word with King Anoethin first?"
chris107: "Wandering the moors would be all well and good but you'd miss the ale eventually."
Smon: An old crone hobbles past. As she passes Sir Gharthan she stops and mutters, then makes a sign against Evil.
SHARK: Gharthan devours the meat and turnips, and gulps down the ale.
Smon: @Matt do you want to roll Gobby up now?
JamesDevil: "Sounds like a plan, only he can cure the aliment
JamesDevil: Jared sows down
SHARK: Gharthan gazes at the old crone. "Woman! Here, some coin for your wisdom! What do you see with your vision?"
Keelia: "We should return to civilisation and seek assistance immediately," Hali says. "If the King can stop the sickness, it will be easiest the sooner we seek help."
MooWun: @smon yeth DM
chris107: Sig enjoys the mutton but avoids the grog for this evening.
Smon: GM: You rest that night at the Inn, everyone except Gharthan recovers 2 hp. Gharthan tosses and turns, beset by strange and savage dreams, recovers no hp.
Smon: ok Matt type /roll 4d6x6
SHARK: Wotan has blessed me!
MooWun Rolls 4d6x6 and gets:
4, 1, 3, 5 = 13
3, 5, 3, 5 = 16
3, 3, 2, 2 = 10
3, 6, 6, 4 = 19
2, 1, 2, 3 = 8
1, 1, 4, 5 = 11
JamesDevil: do i recover spell slots?
chris107: "Then let us make haste to Modron. For indeed I think we have news on what has been taking the miners."
Smon: Gobby can start with a magic item too, I suggest +1 shortbow or +1 shortsword
SHARK: Soon, I shall have savage teeth to aid me in frenzied battle!
Keelia: "We should not rest but should head out immediately and be there by dawn."
MooWun: can i take a + 1 cloak dm?
Smon: Gobby stats STR 12 INT 13 WIS 8 DEX 16 CON 7 CHA 10 - you can replace 1 with a 16, I suggest CON or STR
SHARK: Very well, then. Let us ride to the great city!
Smon: ok +1 cloak, gives +1 to your saves
Keelia: "Sickness seems to grip his mind already," she frowns at Gharthan's statements.
MooWun: yeth DM Con 16 hehehehe
JamesDevil: Jared facepalms and shakes his head
chris107: "Very well, Let some make haste with Gharthan the rest wait and escourt our charge to town at dawn?"
SHARK: Gharthan shall rise from the table, and head outside to ride into the deep of the night.
Smon: Setting out pre dawn, you reach Modron at first light and are escorted to the Royal Palace, where noble King Anoethin is roused from slumber. In the royal dressing gown he checks Garthan, frowns gravely.
"My son... be healed!"
Smon: Gharthan feels a lot better!
chris107: phew!
Smon: Anoethin: "The power of Mitra has cured his Disease. Werewolves, you say? Where is the Royal Wizard?"
SHARK: "Praise Mitra!" My gratitude, O' King and Lord!"
Smon: Anoethin looks around for the expectantly for the Arch-Wizard.
MooWun: er..
chris107: "Praise the Light Bringer! PRAISE MITRA!"
Smon: (Generyk is still sleeping invisibly back at the last inn)
MooWun: He does that
Keelia: (crickets chirp...)
Smon: Anoethin also puts a couple clws on Garthan
MooWun: tumbeweed
Smon: /roll 2d6+2
SHARK: Gharthan says, "We must hunt down the werewolves, and destroy them all, root and branch!"
Smon rolls 2d6+2 and gets: 1, 3, (+2) = 6
Smon: Garthan recover 6 hp
Keelia: (can hali have one too?)
SHARK: LOL
Smon: Anoethin also heals Hali
Smon: (Jared yes you recovered all slots overnight)
Keelia: She bows, low, in thanks.
JamesDevil: did Jared recover his spell slots?
Smon: /roll d6+1
Smon rolls 1d6+1 and gets: 2, (+1) = 3
JamesDevil: cool, thxs
Smon: Hali recovers 3
SHARK: As I recall, I was down 18, so now I am down 12 HP.
Keelia: (15/19, I can live with that)
Smon: >>Gharthan says, "We must hunt down the werewolves, and destroy them all, root and branch!"<<

The king nods gravely. "Aye. As long as one lives, the threat remains!"
SHARK: "Let us ride then, and hunt them down. Day and night. No mercy for them."
Smon: "If you need more manpower, Castle Gasconfold lies just east of the Plain - they can provide additional men to search the moors, but I do not know if they have silver weapons."
chris107: OOC we have a new Goblin chum?
SHARK: "We shall show them a plague of steel!"
Smon: GM: OK Gobby the Goblin emerges from the shadows.
SHARK: "Steel and fire, shall be their portion!"
Smon: Matt you are a level 5 Goblin Thief
JamesDevil: "on that note your highness, do you have any silver weapons in the armoury that we could borrow?
Smon: Did you put the free 16 on CON?
SHARK: "A Goblin?"
MooWun: Hail masters I am Gobbybodkin Splitfoot
JamesDevil: "will will return them once the threat is defeated of course"
JamesDevil: we*
MooWun: *deep bow
chris107: "Men not armed with silver are surely asking to be turned into more werewolves? We should hunt them down alone."
Smon: Anoethin: "Yes, this is the Goblin Scout, Gobby. A friend of Generik I believe."
chris107: "otherwise the curse will only spread."
Smon: Anoethin: "Report to the armoury for silver daggers and arrows."
chris107: "Hello Gobby."
MooWun: I know the ways of the moors like the back of my green hand...
MooWun: snigger
chris107: "Then you are the very fellow we need!"
SHARK: "My King, may we have the service of a dozen archers, also armed with fire? I want the werewolves to burn in fire!"
Smon: GM: assuming Gobby has CON 16 his hp at level 5 are 18+5 = 23.
JamesDevil: with a bow "that you your highness"
JamesDevil: Jared heads to the armoury
MooWun: yeth DM
Smon: Anoethin looks out the window. "I doubt fire will avail you much in this rain."
Keelia: Hali considers the gobin for a long moment, then nods to herself. She bows to the King and follows Jared to the armoury
SHARK: "Everywhere we go, the werewolve's lairs must be burned and savaged in fire!"
MooWun: Mistress sniff sniff
chris107: Sig uses the time to visit his wife.
SHARK: "The woods shall echo with the beast's anguished howls of agaony and terror!"
chris107: and has his armour & stuff dried and cleaned.
Smon: GM: The grizzled armourer disburses silver daggers to all who need one.
SHARK: Excellent.
MooWun: oh loverly jubberly
Smon: Princess Philly is keen to see her beloved hubby and gives him a big hug.
Keelia: Hali tucks one away into her robes with a nod to the armourer.
MooWun: can i av an other
chris107:
Smon: OOC Gobby you do x3 damage with backstab, but I houserule x4 with dagger.
SHARK: Gharthan shall place a silvered dagger in a sheathe, at the back of my neck.
MooWun: ooh whats this silver arows ...thank you master armourer
JamesDevil: "Ah, i can't use any of these, do you perchance have a mace or hammer that has been silvered?"
Smon: The armourer glares at Gobby, "One's enough. Here's two silver arrows - now be off with you, Goblin!"
SHARK: And yes, loading quivers with fine, silvered arrows.
MooWun: hehehehe yeth yeth
Smon: Armourer: "Jared? I heard your Hammer was rune-forged, no? Better than some silver junk, surely?"
MooWun: @shark gimmie some of those
Keelia: Hali wanders off back to the monestary to rest for the evening.
Smon: GM: The armourer gives the Knights 5 silver arrows each, commoners get 2 each.
SHARK: "Yes, by word of the King, silver arrows for all the men."
Keelia: (if that's what we're doing?)
Smon: It's late morning currently.
SHARK: "What?"
MooWun: poxy metal man
Keelia: Hali had tucked the arrows into her bag.
JamesDevil: "hmm, true, I just remember tales of silver being more effective, I'll stick with what I have then, thank you for your guidance"
SHARK: "Armourer, good man. Perhaps you did not hear. The King has ordered we be fully equipped."
MooWun: yeth yeth metal man listen to the soldier
SHARK: "Make it so, good armourer."
chris107:
Keelia: (OK, then Hali wanders back to the monestary for a change of clothes then returns)
Smon: >>Hali wanders off back to the monestary<< The Flowing Water monks have bunks in the dojo of the Sword School of Master Ton Lai, as well as at the Main Gate that they guard.
SHARK: "I shall expect full quivers of fine, silver arrows. Our enemies are savage, and many."
MooWun: or you'll end up running around on the moors yersel
Smon: You hear cheers from outside as Arch-Wizard Generik arrives on his flying carpet!
MooWun: smelling o wet dog
MooWun: oh no
JamesDevil: "Jared heads to the nearest temple to pray for the patience he'll need to travel with his party"
Smon: /roll d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets: 2,
MooWun: Gobby swipes an ale and drowns it
MooWun: *downs it
SHARK: OOC: Has the armourer heeded my commands? If not, I shall seek out the commander of the Palace Guard, and report the armourer's laziness and sloth.
Smon: That evening, the rain is STILL pouring down - and threatening to turn to snow - as the King summons you all for a Council in his council chamber, alongside General Modronel, field commander of Modron's forces.
MooWun: do it, its a lazy good for ntjin sloth
Smon: /roll 3d6
SHARK: OOC: His lagard sloth shall not be tolerated.
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 6, 2, 6, = 14
MooWun: oops
chris107: A dry and smartly dressed sigurd answers his King's summons.
MooWun: Gobby pulls up his hood and mask and slinks into the background
Smon: GM: The Armourer has come up with full quivers of 12 silver arrows each for everyone who can use a bow.
SHARK: Gharthan shall go to the Royal Council, promptly.
Smon: The King sits at the head of the council table, gestures you all to do the same. He nods to Modronel.
SHARK: Good. 12 silver arrows for everyone. Gharthan is still suspicious that the armourer is a sloth.
Keelia: Hali stands silently, partly in the shadows, hands folded into her sleeves
MooWun: Gobby tips his hood to persuasive master G
Smon: (after you all sit).
JamesDevil: Jared, looking as awake as ever, the prayer did him good
chris107: S sits
SHARK: Thank you, Moo.
Smon: Modronel unfurls a local area map - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRyHnW_la8h_9my1w2ZK90oMenVcTU6TBcbBZlEF17oU2Ni8QB85SPYM_znrKN1qvTTWhPs02TLxiqEMfl7UfijDy6MtlSu_Yz0MZ82JGQqNNjzWZBrtPUOaQNWEkju-gb5A5Rz4-m5KE/s640/Lost+Man%2527s+Trail.png
MooWun: I cant see above the table, do you have a cushion
Smon: Modronel strokes his neat grey beard. A plump maid hurries to bring Gobby a plump cushion.
SHARK: I shall lift the Goblin up so he can sit upon the table.
Smon: Modronel: "As you know, our forces are still heavily defeated from last year's war with the Skandiks..."
MooWun: oh thank you says Gobby from the plump maidens clevage
SHARK: LOL
Smon: sorry Depleted
MooWun: hum yeth
SHARK: How many armies do we have left, fit for battle?
DESTROYERBILL: you didnt lose that many the navy was obliterated but the grounf forces had a complete success
MooWun: this one ...says Gobby as he pushes his left hand out of his sleeeve and this one...
DESTROYERBILL: and i destroyed the skandiks fleet so all in all we came out on top
MooWun: oh
MooWun: sorry no tthe right tie?
MooWun: time for jokes
Smon: Modronel reddens slightly at Generik's words, he looks to the King.
Smon: They ignore Gobby.
Keelia: "Perhaps if we let his highness speak and save our comments and questions for later?"
Smon: Anoethin: "Survival is one thing, Arch-Wizard, Success is another. Our ground forces were able to retreat in good order, despite the loss of our fleet. Still, we remain thinly stretched."
chris107: Sig nods at these wise words.
Smon: Modronel: "Yes, your Majesty."
SHARK: Gharthan listens patiently, and attentively.
MooWun: @DM can Gobby nick a silver spoon, goblet or platter without getting catched?
DESTROYERBILL: we lost little in the ground campaingn and destroyed the skandik fleet in my eyes we won in a mannar of speaking
MooWun: more wine buxon wench!
DESTROYERBILL: they are unlikley to strike again
Smon: Modronel points to Sticklestead. "All our trade with Sticklestead comes via Lost Man's Trail. With the recent disappearrances, it is grinding to a halt. But patrols report nothing."
DESTROYERBILL: and if they do they face compete annialation
Smon: @Matt yes, roll d% if trying
MooWun: wha
Smon: type /roll d100
MooWun: the patrols face anylielaytion?
MooWun rolls 1d100 and gets: 01,
Smon: Critical success
MooWun: YETH
chris107:
Smon: Gobby has liberated the silver salver and most of the cutlery without anyone noticing
DESTROYERBILL: you literally steal the table without being noticed
MooWun: Goggy rubs his green paws together with glee
Smon: /roll 3d6
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 2, 4, 2, = 8
MooWun: *Gobby
chris107: "Your Majesty, Lord Modronel. We believe we have found the peril that besets Lost Man's Trail."
Smon: 80gp worth, about 8 lb weight of silver
Smon: Anoethin: "The Werewolves?"
MooWun: Gobby flutter his eyelashes at the party - init about time we was on the questing heros?
chris107: "Aye the werewolves."
MooWun: Gobbys pantaloons look full of junk and he clanks as he bows good bye to the king bloke
chris107: "We have concerns that they may have connections at the Fat Deer Inn too. Though only suspicions at this time."
Smon: The King nods gravely. "Find them. Root them out. Destroy them."
He pauses.
"I have made you a writ, Sigurd, giving you full authority over the Fat Deer Inn. It is yours, for as long as you need it."
MooWun: oooh free bar
chris107: "Is there any wisdom for ferreting out the shape changers whilst in human form?"
MooWun: no, no its werewolves not ferrets we is huntin
MooWun: clunk
MooWun: clank
SHARK: Gharthan says, "I suggest we strike the Fat Deer Inn in the deep of the night, sweeping through, and arresting everyone. Then toss the whole place upside down. That will put the fear of Mitra into them, and should catch the spies unawares."
JamesDevil: if its a magical spell or enchantment I could detect it
Smon: The King strokes his neat beard. "I have little knowledge of such monsters. It pains me to say it, but the one who most likely does is the Hag, Esdalia, who dwells without our walls in her rude hovel. She is very old, and very wise."
MooWun: and very ugly
chris107: "We can get inside the walls at least. If then we can find proof of shape changers within..."
chris107: "The hag with the octopus soup?"
Smon: Anoethin: "I leave the Fat Deer to your discretion, Sigurd. You have always served Modron well. Esdalia is the Hag with the Soup of Water Breathing, yes. But that is not the limit of her talents. She knows much of monsters - of fell beasts."
Smon: Modronel: "Forgive me, your Majesty, but I concur with good Sir Drandus. The best approach is a direct one..."
JamesDevil: "I can also use a spell to detect evil in those around me, enchantments, intentions, thoughts and auras
SHARK: Gharthan says, "Excellent. Let us go to the hag then, and then go forth to the Fat Deer Inn."
chris107: "That will be most useful!"
MooWun: hags love to gossip
Smon: Anoethin: "Hm. One issue, my friends, is that the Fat Deer Inn lies close by Gasconfold Castle, and on the edge of our demesne... We should not give the Castellan of Gasconfold an excuse to seize the place."
SHARK: "I believe we must strike suddenly, almost erratically, so that are foes are caught unprepared."
chris107: "I suggest we are circumspect at the Inn. At least until we have proof. Merrod is a tax payer after all."
MooWun: eeek tax eeek
Smon: >>I can also use a spell to detect evil<< Anoethin nods.
"An excellent plan."
Smon: Modronel: "Hm, my soup spoon appears to have vanished..."
chris107: "To the hag!"
Smon: Anoethin: "Fare well, my friends."
SHARK: "To the Hag!"
Smon: GM OOC stopping in 10 mins
Keelia: Hali rises and follows them out
Smon: A half hour later, those of you going to the Hut of Esdalia approach her rude hovel in a sinister dell just outside Modron's high walls.
SHARK: "The Innkeeper is a mutant. He needs to be burned at the stake!"
chris107: OOC - can we come up with a short list of questions to put to the hag?
Smon: The hideous and aged crone watches you ride up, cackling softly to herself.
"Hi. Hi. I knew you would come! The King always sends his questing heroes here!"
chris107: "What proof do you have of that sir Gharthan?"
Smon: She chuckles.
"Do you have questions for an old woman?"
JamesDevil: "Gharthan will you please ease up? we don't have to phcotically attack everything, sometimes a bit of tac can work wonders"
chris107: "We hunt shapeshifters my lady."
SHARK: "My own suspicions, my friend. Strangely he seems to be at the center of knowledge, for all the patrols are conveniently attacked."
chris107: "How can we redcognize them in human form?"
Smon: Esdalia nods. "No octopus soup today, then?"
Keelia: "Wolves, specificallly."
JamesDevil: "sadly not mi'lady"
chris107: "Aye, Hali has the right of it. Werewolves."
Smon: "Ah! Good question! Many weres' human forms come to resemble the beast within! Wereboars grow fat. were rats grow ...ratty. Werewolves ...hairy!"
MooWun: @DM is there anything shiny in the hags hovel?
chris107: "I'm pretty hairy myself my lady. Is there a surer test?"
JamesDevil: "might I ask, can my divine magics detect them, even when they are in their human forms?"
SHARK: "Molten silver shall loosen the heretic's tongue!"
Smon: Esdalia nods to Jared. "If they are Evil, your god-spells will detect their Reek of Wrongness." She looks to Sigurd. "Lycanthropes cannot stand even the touch of silver!"
MooWun: ouch
Smon: Esdalia looks at you. "Now, what Gifts have you brought me?"
JamesDevil: "thank you my lady"
MooWun: er ... i got you this lovely spoon
chris107: "Thank you indeed. Do you have any advice on where they may lair?"
JamesDevil: "sigh I dn't supose you would accept Gharthan?"
MooWun: my lady
SHARK: Gharthan hands her a large, juicy ham, and a bottle of good wine.
JamesDevil: "he has a way with ladies" Jared winks
Smon: Esdalia takes the spoon (5gpv).
"Hmm, Very nice. Does it have a mate? A knife?"
SHARK: LOL. Is she..does she have that slow-eyed look, Simon?
Smon: Esdalia takres ham & wine.
MooWun: hmmm yeth mistress i this it does
Smon: She is utterly hideous, and seems several centuries beyond romantic interest in Sir Gharthan.
MooWun: Gobby pulls the knife from his undercrackers
Smon: Esdalia snaffles the knife.
SHARK: OOC: LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Smon: (5gpv - Gobby has 70gp of silverware left)
MooWun: hehehehe she likes Gobby smell
chris107:
MooWun: @DM noted
MooWun: Mitress hag would you like the fork too?
MooWun: Gobby smiles viley
SHARK: OOC: Simon, does the witch seem to approve of the juicy ham and the good bottle of wine?
MooWun: vilely
Smon: Esdalia: "Lairs - it depends. Were-wolves seek underground burrows in wild lands. Were-boars seek forest nests. Were-rats love sewers and the ruins of Man's works."
Smon: (She seems content with her gifts)
Smon: "Now, one more question?"
Smon: (she takes the fork, -5gpv)
MooWun: Gobbys eye bule as he rummages around the back of his undercrackers dramatically
MooWun: you sure
MooWun: ooh
chris107: any other ideas guys?
MooWun: that urt
chris107: for the last question?
Keelia: (two questions come to mind -)
Keelia: (how can we be sure we got them all)
SHARK: OOC: Hmmm...
JamesDevil: go ahead
MooWun: wheres Gobbys presents then?
Keelia: (if we kill the one that made them, does it uninfect the underlinings, like sometimes in old vampire stories)
chris107: (Go for it.)
JamesDevil: ask away
JamesDevil: its a good question
Smon: Esdalia glares at Gobby. "My gift is the greatest gift - Knowledge! Oh, and Octopus Soup at 10 gold a pop."
chris107: "You will have the King's thanks for your help."
Keelia: (only if no one else has questions)
JamesDevil: nope, nothing from me
MooWun: Octopis soup is it? Gobby scowls back at the hag
SHARK: Gharthan is ready to ride.
chris107: (Probs worth buying some soup just in case we need to go under water?)
Smon: "Yes, if you want to breath underwater!"
chris107: (All yours Keelia)
Keelia: "How can we be sure we have dealt with the entire pack? Does killing the Top Dog free those he or she made?)
chris107: (Sounds good)
Keelia: " not )
SHARK: Yes, I shall buy a flask of the special soup from the witch.
MooWun: well mistress hag i might have the more of that set you like... lets talk about a discuont on the soup eh :_D
Smon: Esdalia ponders the question.
"Some say there are true-born weres... but I have only ever seen the Infected. Diseased. Killing the procreator does not cure them. If done in time, powerful Magic may heal them. Otherwise, only Death."
MooWun: you wan the full package hag...lets trae
MooWun: trade
Smon: GM: Esdalia will trade 10 gp or 10gpv of silverware for a cup of her special Octopus Soup.
Keelia: Hali nods and steps back
chris107: (2 soups for Sig please before we go)
Keelia: (ah, stupid, I should have asked about cures instead)
Keelia: (in case we get bit again)
MooWun: but mistress hag, you surely want the set
Smon: OOC stopping there, you can have another +200 gp if you participated in last 2 conversations, +100 for 1.
JamesDevil: "hmm I doubt we'll be able to save the poor souls then, unless there is a cure right in the den with the lead werewolf..."
SHARK: OOC: Yes, good idea. Two flasks of special soup then for Gharthan.
chris107: (Drat! Of course!)
