Let's see... Cows are also Large animals... researching... ah here we go: Looks like the actual skinning doesn't take too long, but "It will take about 7 to 10 days for a large cow skin to dry." ... and then it needs to be flipped!

Meanwhile, you have to specifically not fold it up or anything, if you want to keep the hide intact. Hmm.

I don't think you're going to be able to transport it feasibly out of here....

Eh, the DMG says that unless otherwise noted, things work like they do in reality.

And you'd have to skin it before moving it - delay, and the body bloats, which damages the hide. If anyone in the party has Shrink Item prepared, you could conceivably skin the thing, shrink the hide, and carry it spread out that way.

Hmm...

Anyone who has ranks in Survival will know some things about skinning, as will anyone with Profession(Tanner), Craft(Leatherworking), or any other skill that seems like it might be applicable.

Also what are the pre-existing arrangements on loot?
Do we have a party mule?
Do we already have rules how we alot loot and equipment?

For example Johnny you looted the corpses and presumably found the 700 odd gold pieces, do you dish them out of store them on yourself/a party mule?
(Bull might be a good party mule...)

I imagine Johnny would not really notice if the party was skimming him of profit and he was only recieving a small proportion of what he deserves and Yarin at the moment would not be interested in treasure... (not to mention asking for his fair share would give away his position...)

So I was just interested what you guys presumed was going on with it.. :)

The guy who had the original payment arrangement information and claims for the expedition unfortunately got eaten by Summon Monster V trap before you got to the dragon. You'll need to make your own arrangements in that regard. Any pieces of equipment that would logically exist that you didn't bother to purchase on character creation befell similar fates.

We appear to only have three active players. We had more characters made, but I think a couple assumed the game was a non-starter, and unsubcsribed from it. Do you reckon we could get more interest if we reposted the recruitment thread? This is an interesting game and it'd be nice to start strong with a full house :)

That's not fully true. There's a lot of Cleric spells that do not require a Divine Focus. The Cure line, for instance.

Irwin could be a fine puppet. Ceres will share :P

In all seriousness, I'm not possessive of my cohort. If the glovelock wants to mindrape him, I won't be butthurt OOC. Ceres will only react badly if you openly try to hurt him, and is unlikely to cotton on to mental manipulation.

I would like to point out that my glovelock is CG, and respects personal freedoms. All he asks is that if you encounter demons, you seek to eradicate them, with his help.

As you like. The belief about personal freedoms aside, you could totally justify controlling another good person if you thought it was for the best... I'm just offering you the option and saying I totally won't get prickly, so you don't feel like you're immobile until we encounter magic or other creatures.

Incidentally, you should totally feel free to blast however you like, as I'm confidant I can make the Concentration checks to use psionic powers even while you're controlling my hands.

Well, unless Yarin is using Silent Spell, it is painfully obvious that the golem is casting, and is capable of speech...

Sure, but it seems to have been doing an inner monologue for most stuff to date, and I wanted to know if it was confronting Irwin openly about the "healing" issue.

Interesting that our intelligent items can sense each other within 60 ft. I didn't know that! That will be fun to play with...

I was just about to raise this issue,
It would be rather obveous that the Golem just used a Cure spell...

Although he bluffed that he does it "for his master".
It still does not take away from the fact you now know this Golem is a caster...

But were you actually speaking to Irwin, or was your text just an internal monologue?

Well the verbal componant was said aloud so you would have heard the Golem say "Cure" and seen him touch Johnny, then Johnny suddenly awake his wounds healed.

Everything in Italics is internal however the "Cure" was aloud. :)
