I also do not know of all the Talent Tree options in the game. There's far too many to remember, and there very well may be something that does this. For now, I think I'll just tell you that it feels like she's being honest. We'll forgo a roll since it's not a critical detail. She's nonchalant about the whole thing, meaning she's likely giving you the whole story. She doesn't act like she's afraid of his presence--it's more just acknowledgment that you know he's here. Very matter-of-fact. I hope that helps!

Heck, maybe these Derro know about the ankheg? I guess we can try that sort of route. Does it stink of a dead body in here, per above discussion? I think that'll impact how/if we bring up the corpse in conversation.

I like the plan but Doørfin is stubborn (read: I can't help but try to stack odds in our favor concerning the sand tunnel). Do your thing and hope to miss the Dwarf 😁

"Whatev'r yer plan, Ah'll be keepin'er in th' tunnel. If'n 'er legs get free uh th' sand, she might 'ave an advantage on us. You burn 'er but Ah'll be at the front. Do what ye must but try not t' burn my beard, eh?" the Dwarf said, somehow able to muster a chuckle. Doørfin then shuffled up to the entrance and prepared to step in front of it to block Malice from exiting into the cavern proper. If he got oiled and burned in the process, so be it. He just had to put faith in his companions. What was a little fire for a blacksmith, anyhow?

I'll have to go back and look for a list of stuff we have to divvy.

Cyrus isn't particularly pious, dealing usually in lip service. He's more concerned about earthly creatures eating flesh and leaving these bones lol. I think we keep Tamson outside as a scout as well as making sure our mule doesn't bugger off. I like the idea of Cyrus also staying outside to scout, but know I'll miss any action in the barrow because of it. Decisions, decisions...

Around the corner the scout saw something she'd hoped not see. Taking a step back into the room with the others, Valthjofr's words slapped Yngvildr. "I...You can't...fine," was all she could muster in frustration. Her cheeks flared red in the torchlight. The young woman could feel the heat in her face. "I was...I'm not..." she stammered. "I was their slave, nothing more. But if the gods will it, I will heed your words..." After getting a grip she added, "I think the dead lead us. I saw two more Reapers just now. They disappeared from sight as quickly as I saw them."

"Quickly we must get you to safety!"

Lol! I like to think the rule of getting players back until the mix overtakes the rules of making sense. It's not fun sitting on the sidelines and waiting. To answer you, yes, i believe we are taking Magnus' body back outside before venturing deeper. I'll check the maps when not on this terrible mobile device.

Make sure to add +2 on your strength check due to the debris on the bridge. Then make the dc 5 reflex save.

I was planning to just guard the entrance so Malice would have to fight on uneven ground (hopefully an AC penalty) and i posted as such at the end of my last post. I figure it's more tactical to do that than try to stand off to the side and burn her and potentially let her have full movement/AC

Cailano is great at his job 💜 i must learn the art of "say less" because oh boy... Some of my posts are huge.

"It's like a picture you'd see on a wall." The scattered bones and general atmosphere put the archer on edge. He kept tugging at the collar of his armor whilst looking around the perimeter. "Heard there's a bunch of money to be made in spider silk from the Blackened Forest to the west. Dangerous though. And probably out of our skill range right now," Cyrus said in idle chatter.

"Three hundred coins? That seems fair. I'm no bowyer--I just use the things. Just won't have that for a bit. But I'm sure whatever you put a month's effort into will be excellent. But I'm curious about this spider silk... Does it have a special quality about it? I fancy myself a cloak eh... conn...conney... Uh I like cloaks."

Lmao screw that bridge.😈 i was soooo scared i wouldn't make the reflex save lol.

His eyes looked over the bows and buckets of arrows before turning to meet Valeron's eyes. The Elf was mysterious and held an otherworldly edge to his handsomeness. Cyrus didn't realize he was staring. What was it with Elves? Shaking himself out of his reverie, Cyrus moved closer and looked the cloaks. He cleared his throat. "So, uh, Valeron is it? These bows are well made. And these cloaks--did you make them? They are... I don't have a word for them... What material is this?"

He himself helped me give a proper sendoff to some remains we found alongside a magical sword. In taking up the sword I promised to see him given that honor--now too must I see that Magnus is given the same." Looking ahead to the dungeon and then back at her companions, Luciana asked, "Do we see to that now, or on our way out? It is as you say--our wily warlock may yet live and time may be of the essense." A spark of hope glimmered in the paladin's eye, but not one she would nurture just yet.

"Fine, but you will defend him when the time comes," Yngvildr said coldly about the prisoner. "But check his wrist, something silver he covets," she added with a point of her sword. Then the scrapping sound came and took her attention. Quickly she spun on her heels and moved north to listen around the corner.

I like this plan. Sure, Val isn't really looking to try very hard but she'll at least try a little. I'm not entirely sure what we're going to say here, though. Are we trying to make it seem like we're aware of the treaty and here on its behalf (in order to leverage the point)? Are we just going to be like "what are you doing here"? I have a feeling this will devolve into combat quickly, so if our stealth people can get into a flanking position, that'd be most beneficial I think. But I'm happy to defer to your tactics on that area.

Oh that's right. Hmm, makes it a bit more iffy to toss then. It's likely to shatter and break, yeah?

I think most or all of us are now free of the bridge?

Hunter | Children of the Glow Seeing no one else left to rescue, Bunnie turned to her new companions. Her darkened face was in sharp contrast to her white fur. "My name Bunnie. Friends?" she introduced. "Where this place? How we get out?" Gruza HP 3/3 | AC 14 | Ammo 11/12 | Luck 17/17 | Art. +0 | A.I. +2 | S-1 A+0 S+0 P+1 I-2 L+2 | Speed 30 | Pure-Strain Human | Occ.

Hunter | The Clan of Cog Myycky had gotten just as stuck on the bridge despite the trash debris scattered about. A spear haft was held out to her. "Thanks! Gotta stick together, right? Okay, pull!" With Bokk's help, Myycky was able to get free. Then Gruza started complaining. "C'mon Gruza, grab my hand. Bokk, keep that spear just like this, okay? Now pull!" Eventually both Myycky and Gruza made it to the other side of the bridge without flinging themselves off. The girl's eyes wandered over to the still stuck form of Saris on the underside, glowing fungus shoved into his face unceremoniously. []

Since the team is doing a touch of stuff before we adventure, can we have Cyrus also head to the bowyer? (unless you're already doing your posts) I want to ask IC about prices on a custom bow and then we can head out for the day. :)

We lit a torch for our Humans to see with, right? I'm trying to act as a blockade to the cavern so whomever comes down the hall will be stuck in the difficult sand. I'd rather have my axe ready so I think maybe Shaun or Novia would be better tossing the fire after your oil.
