Probably about half a day's travel to get to the lake. It took three days to get from Courville to the celebration, so once you get there it will probably take a bit over two days to get back.

Probably about half a day's travel to get to the lake. It took three days to get from Courville to the celebration, so once you get there it will probably take a bit over two days to get back.
So we travel to the lake when it starts getting dark then load up on water for the journey back.
If I were following us I might have someone watching the lake, but they can't be everywhere.
So I think we were up for most of a day and a night, so Gabriele is going to nap for a bit to recover. Unless anything gets in the way of that she'll get up in a few hours and go looking for those plants.
Will post after work, but Int test to jump to conclusions.

Updated Severin with 600 xp, taking the Scout career and focusing on boosting his ranged combat capability. He had all the trappings except a mail shirt and ten yards of rope (I assume a pony counts as a horse for Halflings).
Would you allow me to trade the mail shirt for a studded leather jerkin from the Old World Armoury? Severin gets one less AP on his torso but avoids the -10 Ag penalty for wearing mail armour. (Once he has the funds, I also plan to add a helmet and leather leggings to round out Severin's armour).
Yeah, that's cool. For some reason I thought you needed a longbow for that career (hence the one sitting in the hands of all those murder-able villagers) but I guess not.
One eventually has to pay for either Specialist Weapon (Longbow) or Specialist Weapon (Crossbow), so the career does steer you towards a longbow or a repeating crossbow, but I like that they didn't require you to invest in a weapon you probably can't use properly before entering the career. And as far as Severin goes, I have a hard time visualizing a halfling with a longbow, so I'll probably go for the repeating crossbow instead.
Is borrowing Gabriele's Longbow enough? :smallsmile:
I'll try and update my sheet before I go to bed. It's probably Targeteer or Mercenary.
Sheet mostly updated, I'll spend the last 200 on mercenary, because she should probably learn how to fight better.
I'll get Alyssa updated once I'm done with exams which will be next weekend, most likely.
I don't recall a Lena being mentioned before. Is this a new NPC or have I just forgotten someone?Quote:
Lena bought one of the statues, and I gave one of the bracelets to mom already
Lena is the elf woman.
Of course! :smallredface:
Gossip test vs. 72 (Fel 42, Gossip +10, Difficulty +20) [roll0]Quote:
So make a gossip test with a +20 modifier to see if the armory has halfling-sized armor, other wise you can buy it from the halfling market. Either way, you can just go ahead and narrate it in your post; the halfling slums ghetto enclave is just on the other side of the river. Or you can hire the master armorer to make a good quality version of it, but it will take some time. As far as loot is concerned, Laurens will try to dispose of it on his own, and then cut you your share, if you don't want to wait he will pay a lesser amount in the form of credit drawn on a dwarven bank. If you guys want to help him sell the stuff, he could use the help to try and maximize the total haul.
Ordinary quality armour will do - a helmet and leather leggings. Assuming the Gossip test works, Severin has enough cash for the moment and can wait for Sir Laurens to make a sale.
Perception roll for Alyssa: [roll0]
I take it that roll means I don't know if I was followed or not?
You certainly didn't see anyone following you.
As I'm updating my sheet now that exams are over, I'm planning on moving into Dilettante. Can I assume I picked up the books and writing kit from the castle? Or would that have to wait until after I get some coin on me?
Probably stuff about nobility and the politics of the Border Princedoms. IDK what the exact titles would be but stuff like that.
On that note, making an Evaluate check to figure out if I've been given a fair price: [roll0] vs 29
Uh oh...
OK, so here's three options:
"The Military Campaigns of Piotr Hagenov", the memoirs of a mercenary captain. The last few chapters deal with his role during the Siege of Bremcote, while the last entry is a long complaint about one of his subordinates, a 'Lieutenant Calvenzano', and that he intends on dismissing him from the mercenary company. The last third of the book is blank.
"A Noble-Lady's Guide to Etiquette, Siege-Craft, Household Management and the Art of Seduction". A controversial book, to say the least, it attempts to provide young noblewomen all they need to know about being a successful noblewoman. It has easy-to follow instructions and very... detailed illustrations. It has been banned in three Imperial provinces and is required reading in two more. The first Bretonnian printing sold out in a day, with copies going for hundreds of gold. The second printing was destroyed by an angry mob in its entirety.
"Urist's Travels" purports to be the tale of a dwarven merchant's journeys through human realms and elven lands. Although you've never heard of a nation full of giants, or a land ruled by horses, or one where the people turn into birds during the full moon, but it is a great big wide world out there, so who is to day? Certainly the tale of the island where the streets are cobbled with diamonds and the people use rubies for their slings might be a tempting place to search for...
Those all sound excellent :smallbiggrin:
New goal is to get Gabriele literacy at some point :smallsmile:
It's been a busy day, so I'll try for an IC post tomorrow instead.
And yeah, Severin probably needs to learn how to read and write as well at some point.
Gossip test to try and get a more honest opinion of the Bremcotes

Will assume Gabriele wouldn't be the best at this, but she'll try and talk up Sir Lauren's deeds at the Red Temple.

Since the Duke wants to know how the sale of the artifacts went, Severin won't be replying IC until Alyssa has been able to respond.
I'm a little confused. Everyone's acting as if we've just taken a pay cut as far as the loot from the temple is concerned, but the Duke said he'd honour Sir Laurens' bargain. It's only future loot that needs to be shared equally. Or have I misunderstood your post, dojango?
That might be my fault. I'm very tired.
Are we waiting for anything particular IC, or is the interview with the Duke over? If so, Severin will head back to the inn and until we depart he'll see if Destiny has any information about the area we're headed to and the halfling communities there.
