Kobold Mine [one slot open]

[ChuckDaRighteous]

Wait it CAN'T be repaired. Well this did not turn out well at all. Perhaps someone can trade for that copper breastplate?

Active: Since the armor is beyond repair, Nockit will see if he can salvage anything from it.
Passive: Finish setting up his trap
Training: spell- healing

"Sorry about that Ozt, guess we were not as prepared as we thought. Let me take a look at your armor. It looks like its beyond repair but perhaps I can salvage something from it. Rest up in the time being." Nockit tries to do what he can to salvage whatever he can from the broken armor. It probably won't be much but its worth a shot.

Nockit also finishes his trap. Hopefully that will help prevent disasters like the one that just occurred.

Passive: set his final trap right outside the boarded up tunnel just in case something breaks through.

Why is it difficulty 10? It was 10 for 2 traps, then 5 for 1. Now 10 for 1? Thanks for fixing that.

And did I understand correctly? Until the battle is resolved, there will be no normal update? Would it still be okay to post some actions for the next turn, and edit that, if need may be?

That's how I understood it. And can I just say: HOLY SHIT THIS WAS A BAD IDEA! SIXTEEN SPIDERS! WTF!

Erm, did you read the first line of the combat spoiler?

There are 20 spiders in the room. I will roll them in batches of 4.

You seem to have gotten lucky that there wasn't a batch E. Personally, I am interpreting that as the GM being benevolent and not wanting you to die. And/or maybe 4 spiders just sat down in their webs munching on the spider-equivalent of popcorn, watching a good fight... ^^ Well, good for them, at least.

KnickKnack's actions:
Active: attach javelin head (rat, fine) to javelin shafts (ash, good) (2/4 turns)
Passive: attach javelin head (rat, fine) to javelin shafts (ash, good) (3/4 turns)
Training: Spell: Healing (Cha?)

With the food crisis resolved for now, and the tiny spiders seemingly getting out of hand KnickKnack is eager to finish that javelin of his. He works on it frantically and also decides it would be a good thing if he knew some healing magic.
Noticing that there is a trader visiting, KnickKnack does his best to make them feel welcome and barter with them - see below.

Also, I vote we let that kobold keep that frog(?), who knows what will come of that. I'm curious. ^^

And we should try and at least get the armor from Lossa, the trader. (The brought 1x shovel [metal (iron), metal (iron)], 1x brestplate [metal (copper)] ) Would be interesting to know what he could want for it.
(Seeing how ClinkClank - the PC with the best Persuade score is not playing the game anymore, I'm going to try and get him into a good mood, the stew will most likely not last long before it spoils, anyways.)

RP: KnickKnack welcomes Lossa and invites him to take part in the great feasting on that delicious stew. "Welcome to our humble mine. Come, sit by the fire, eat! We can't offer much comforts yet, no blankets to sit on, no fancy cutlery or plates, but we did manage to cook a nice stew. Much nicer to talk about business with a full belly, isn't it? I see you have brought a breastplate and a shovel with you, and I can see those items being of some use to us, perhaps. Would you be willing to trade them for some wonderful spell ingredients? Like some poisonous herbs and berries that we picked very recently, so they are fresh and juicy still? We even got various kinds for you to pick from."
(If I didn't miss anything, we got: 4 kinds: herb (wolfbane), herb (ivy), berries (lord and ladies) and berries (belladonna). I wouldn't mind to offer one of each kind for the breast plate. But I dunno what the other players think, they are more than welcome to chime in on this. If the trader is in a very good mood from the meal, KnickKnack might even try and get both items for the assorted berries & herbs.)

Oh, and @ GM: Why didn't the smelly entrails get thrown into the mini-spider cave? Or did they, and you just didn't remove them from the items list yet?

"Look at this funny litty guy!" He shows him a frog. Its white-bluish with four eyes. He could swear it has licked his own eyes right now... on both sides simultary. "Can I keep him? I know we need food but... please?"

"Hmm, this is a difficult position you put me me in.. What's your name?"
"The frog you have caught is certainly a special specimen and I wouldn't use it for food as it is now. I think you can keep it, but I will have to discuss it with KnickKnack who knows more about creatures than I do. She may be able to tell us if it is poisonous or if it have any other qualities that's important to know about."

Upon spotting the trader in camp Krat scratches his throat before talking again to the kobold.
"[Kobold's name] can I take the frog and show it to KnickKnack while you gather the gold I've mined so far. It could be of good use with the trader that just arrived."

Active: Investigate the blue frog without hurting it, asking KnickKnack for help doing so (and if possible stay near the trader using sense motive to see if he tries to trick us for a good deal)
Passive: Refine the firestone
Training: Sense motive

*gathers its spell - healing(wis). And yeah somehow I did miss the part about 20 spiders. Though I did read the part at the end about more being in their webs.

Changing my actions a bit since the trap issue is resolved:

Active: Since the armor is beyond repair, Nockit will see if he can salvage anything from it.
Passive: Try to make fire arrows (bolt of cloth + arrows? Tailoring? if this won't work let me know and I'll change my action accordingly)

Nockit plots his revenge against the spiders. Perhaps a means of lighting their webs on fire with them still in them. hmm... EUREKA! Fire Arrows! Nockit will take a bolt of cloth and cut it into strips that he can then wrap around the tips of arrows.

If possible start by using the damaged arrows, since I'm assuming lighting an arrow on fire will destroy it. he will make as many arrows as one bolt of cloth will allow.

Ludo's actions:
A: Continue exploring the hill (while exploring, bring along samples of any interesting herbs, berries, fruit or stone for later identification)
P: Continue improving gem
T: Craft (Leather)

In regards to the exploration, has Ludo recognized any of the stuff he's seen? E.g., does he know what type of eggs / birds are on the mountain, or does he know anything about the black powder or fruits on the tree? I don't see anything about him attempting to identiy them, will I have to use a seperate action for that?

Oh, and I was sort of planning on making a sling for him once I get back to the cave, is Craft (Leather) the correct choice for that?]

► Show Spoiler

Ludo is very pleased that he found something to eat, but he's very frustrated that he hasn't found anything cool to tell the other kobolds about. Just that dumb dwarf! He is getting kinda bored with walking around on his own though, but he figures he can manage to search the mountain for a bit longer. Maybe there's something exciting around the stream? Or perhaps he can find a brand new place he hasn't visited yet? Hmm.... He wonders how tall the mountain is. Ludo spends a couple of minutes staring skyward, lost in thought.

Once he manages to focus his thoughts again, he walks on, more determined than ever to find something exciting to bring back to the colony. There are those nasty birds, and the even nastier dwarf though. He better keep his wits about him

@eirikdaude leather would fall under the realm of tailoring. I've got it to lvl 2 and intend to specialize in it, so if you wanted to bring me the materials, I would make it for you if you wanted focus your efforts elsewhere. Atm I think we need some sort of acid to cure hides into leather, though.

@gathers since we're both learning heal, let me know if you want to combine efforts on a spell for greater effect.

@Chuck: Hmm, I guess I could do that? Was the armour that got destroyed leather by any chance? Or do we have any other suitable materials? Anyway, I am a bit unsure what I should focus on, a lot of stuff seems to be covered already... Have you got any suggestions? Oh, and either a bow or a sling is good, really. I just want a ranged option other than flinging rocks

[ChuckDaRighteous]

Bows are doable but we'd need wood. Slings we need leather. Atm we need resources badly. The armor was leather but I'm not sure if there is enough for a sling but its worth a shot. As for what you should focus on that's up to you. Jewel cutting would obviously be a good choice, since you have the fancy gem cutting set. But you could take it a step further and turn those gems into spells. (that would be knowledge magic, and the the skill in the spell). Which would also give skill in spells with which to fight. Being a slinging spells might not be feasible in the short term, but is doable long term. Do what you think would be best.

[NewOneAround]

Personally, I am interpreting that as the GM being benevolent and not wanting you to die.

Well I try to be fair. You all don't know me or my 'stile' of play and killing of my players isn't funny.
Don't feel to save I have conciderd to seriously maiming you, just to see how you will handle the handycap...

Being a slinging spells might not be feasible in the short term, but is doable long term. Do what you think would be best.

Hmm.... Thing is, it's my understanding that the improvements I am making on the gem isn't making it better for magic (rather the opposite), it just increases the value, if we want to trade it later. And I can't really focus on one of the areas I already am "good" in until I get at least one skill to 2 I guess I could do knowledge magic or something this turn, and then continue focusing on magic spells? But getting resources to cast those might be a bit tricky? Also, it's one skill for each spell, or..?

For a sling, the only thing you'd need leather for would be the pouch, the only thing you'd need in addition to that would be the string. That "recipe" I linked to was really rather nifty. So part of the reason I'd want to make that over a bow is that it is both much easier to make and create ammunition for. But if tailoring is the appropriate skill for it, I'd be very happy to ask your character for help with it, and rather focus on a different skill-set.

You know that, I know that - now Ludo, he is pretty proud of himself for having climbed the mountain and exploring it Oh, and he'll probably pass by the tree while exploring then, and if he sees any more of the unidentified herbs, he'll try figuring out what those are as well.

Why do I take this to mean that you're just going to send flaming spiders at me. Crap, I just gave you an idea didn't I. Forget that. Jeez, I'll be the death of us all. Hopefully, that only meant "bring back up next time" not "I'm going to turn that into an epic backfire."

@eirikdaude I'll take that to mean you do want me to make a sling. Since its salvaged material from a destroyed normal quality item, likely the best I'll be able to make is normal quality. Normally I'd try to make things at least good if not fire or masterwork, but material restrictions likely won't let me. Hope that's ok with you. If you'd prefer higher quality I can hold out for better material but that's a ways off.

If you want I can add them to the stone room (without the poor kobold carrying them the being eaen by spiders)

At first I was indeed only loosely suggesting that we get rid of them:

Also, throw the entrails that are beginning to smell out, please. Use it as bait in some traps or throw it into the tiny spider room, or whatever.

But after some replies (yours and Chuck's at the least) I tried to express that I explicitly wanted this done.

I'll vote for throwing the stinking entrails into the tiny spider cave, hoping that it will distract them when Ozt and Nockit try to vanquish them. (Meaning if some other player vetos on this - especially Chuck - I retract this suggestion and let them do with the stinky entrails what they deem best. I'm just trying to keep more kobolds from falling sick due to unhygienic conditions etc.)

KnickKnack is extremely worried about the food situation which only seems to be getting worse. As much as he would like to get his javelins finished, he puts priority to getting everyone's belly filled. He dedicates all his energies this turn to identify any new foodstuff that might be brought in and/or butcher/prepare it as needed. Then he organizes the cooking of a nice stew, by getting the pot, Pskal and a bunch of ingredients together in the room with the fire pit, instructing Pskal to cook a stew, and any additional kobolds to help Pksal do that, as needed. KnickKnack himself will help, if that is necessary/only one kobold is needed as helping hands, otherwise he'll stick to getting the kobolds to work together.

I realize that I might have better left the 'suggestion' part out, if I really wanted this to happen now, apologies for the misunderstanding. Since these were apparently not clear enough, how would you like me to word it, just for reference in the future?

And no, since Ozt and Nockit won't profit from this now, I think we'll better use the entrails as distraction or bait later. Or biochemical weaponry.

@gathers since we're both learning heal, let me know if you want to combine efforts on a spell for greater effect.

@ Chuck: Do you mean now, already with the training that we could try and learn together for greater effect, perhaps, or later, when we have learned the spell to combine our efforts to be able to heal faster and/or more grievous wounds?
And generally I'd be happy to do either. Or even both. I'm all for efficiency.

Yeah same here: KnickKnack is male. Not sure if Lossa is staring into KnickKnack's eyes or is seeking some sort of intimate contact because the GM thought KnickKnack was female, or if that was just an amicable pat on the shoulder between pals, anyways. Just FYI.

RP:
KnickKnack gives a good, hearty laugh. "No, I wouldn't want to poison you, you're one of our lifelines and contact to the great dragon, after all." He pauses a bit to think about this and finally volunteers: "Yet, if push comes to shove I suppose would kill a kobold, if I had to - in self defense for example. Or... die trying."
KnickKnack chuckles a bit as his joke and flashes his teeth at Lossa. He started with the morbid kidding, after all. "But in all seriousness, what would you trade for that armor piece? And can you maybe get us some of those dried rations next time you visit? Perhaps you could even tell us what would be a valuable commodity for you that we can try and obtain until then."

Ludo encounters nothing while exploring.

Zi'it stand guard.

The trap in the ore room is gone and a trail of blood leads to the hole in the wall.

________________________________________________

With the food crisis resolved for now, and the tiny spiders seemingly getting out of hand KnickKnack is eager to finish that javelin of his. He works on it frantically and also decides it would be a good thing if he knew some healing magic.

"Sorry about that Ozt, guess we were not as prepared as we thought. Let me take a look at your armor. It looks like its beyond repair but perhaps I can salvage something from it. Rest up in the time being." Nockit tries to do what he can to salvage whatever he can from the broken armor. It probably won't be much but its worth a shot.

Nockit plots his revenge against the spiders. Perhaps a means of lighting their webs on fire with them still in them. hmm... EUREKA! Fire Arrows! Nockit will take a bolt of cloth and cut it into strips that he can then wrap around the tips of arrows.

Ludo is very pleased that he found something to eat, but he's very frustrated that he hasn't found anything cool to tell the other kobolds about. Just that dumb dwarf! He is getting kinda bored with walking around on his own though, but he figures he can manage to search the mountain for a bit longer. Maybe there's something exciting around the stream? Or perhaps he can find a brand new place he hasn't visited yet? Hmm.... He wonders how tall the mountain is. Ludo spends a couple of minutes staring skyward, lost in thought.

Once he manages to focus his thoughts again, he walks on, more determined than ever to find something exciting to bring back to the colony. There are those nasty birds, and the even nastier dwarf though. He better keep his wits about him

All kobold are sated.

Hope I didn't miss to much Work Work Work and now up and away to loud music and beer!

[GathersIngredients]

I would like to:
*) point out that if my notes are correct, KnickKnack just reached 20 Xp with Bone Crafting, and therefore should be at skill level 2 with that now. YAY!

*) ask why KnickKnack didn't help try and identify that frog thingy? Should I have said that he was willing to help? Because back with the warthog, it just functioned automatically without me having to do anything. In any case I'd love to help. If I need an action for that, I'll do it next turn.

*) establish that I would like to keep one of each kind of herb at all times (hopefully we can dry them or something) as future reference for people who can't identify them on their own. So, I'd be happy to give Lossa the amounts he wants in exchange for the shovel and the breast plate.
3x herb (wolfbane) - (We have 4 before the trade)
3x herb (ivy) - (We have 7 before the trade)
10x berries (lord and ladies) - (We have 11 before the trade)
10x berries (belladonna) - (We have 24 before the trade)
1x unbelivable tasty stew
Any objections from other players?

Also, does this count as 'persuade' action, or would I have to actually spend an action on that, in order to earn XP?

Will come up with actions later (when the stuff about frog identifying and bartering is clarified, ideally. )

[ChuckDaRighteous]

He offers:
1x shovel [metal (iron), metal (iron)]
1x breastplate [metal (copper)]

for

3x herb (wolfbane)
3x herb (ivy)
10x berries (lord and ladies)
10x berries (belladonna)
1x unbelievably tasty stew

That seems like a lot of stuff. But its unprocessed quality for refined items. It seems fair I guess.

The trap in the ore room is gone and a trail of blood leads to the hole in the wall.

wtf? How big is this hole. It would have to be a pretty big creature to survive and still drag the trap away. (also it says it its still set up in the write up)

Active: investigate the hole that his trap was dragged into
Passive: Cut cloth into strips to use as bandages.
Training: ranged-bow & crossbow (dex)

► Show Spoiler

Nockit, wonders what happened to his trap. He investigates the blood and any prints in it to see if he can determine what exactly it was that took his trap. He then tries to look down the hole to see if he can figure out whats on the other end.

Nockit also makes some bandages for Ozt. He is in pretty bad shape and figures this will go a long way towards helping him.

Even if he hasn't found anything very interesting, Ludo will return to the colony. He is rather concerned that he'll get hungry again, and the raw eggs really didn't taste that nice. But he is going to do his utmost to see something exciting to tell the others about on his way back to the mine, maybe he should take the time to pass by the quarry and bring some of that strange black powder back to the others? There must be a reason someone's gone to the trouble of collecting it in the barrels."

A: Return to the colony, if he has the time he'll pass by the quarry and bring along some of the black powder. Still looking for anything exciting on the way back. If even more "actions" are allowed while travelling, he'll try to figure out what the fruit he's picked, and the black powder is.
P: Finish refining the stone
T: Lead (Cha)

To the GM:
If that's too much for the active action, please let me know and I'll edit it. Will make a return speech next turn, when I know of all I've discovered while exploring the mountain we've made our home in.

To the other players:
Are there any obvious gaps in our skillsets, which I should focus on? I think I'll get a skill to lvl 2 next turn, which means I can start to focus my training a bit. I know someone mentioned magic upthread, but it seems there are quite a few others who are already training that?

[GathersIngredients]

@ eirikdaude: I have no idea what I want to focus on yet. So many options. Also, you can reach level 1/2 in any skill much faster than you can level 3 and up. So... I guess you can pick what you want and declare that, and the other players will most likely come to you for that specific skill. (like Nockit did with tailoring)
It happened to me with the knowledge creatures without me even trying to.



@Chuck, would you maybe delay that investigation for this turn for a joint venture on a healing spell on Ozt? I think it's important for our brute to be at good health, and if I don't have to spend my active on bartering or identifying, I would like to try my hand at healing, though I have no idea if we have the needed materials for actually casting the spell.


@GM, what's the verdict? Both with the needed actions on my part, as well as what mats we need for casting a healing spell, if we don't want to use the scroll? ,



Edit:
KnickKnack's actions:
Free: order Pskal to try and improve his cooking skills, so he doesn't need an army or assistants the next time he has to cook something.
Active: finish the deal with Lossa, if an action is needed for that (barter/persuade). > Identify the frog thingy, if an action is needed for that. (knowledge creatures) Else, if components are available: cast healing spell on Ozt. if components are NOT available, supervise the kobold curing the warthog skin. (lead)
Passive: attach javelin head (rat, fine) to javelin shafts (ash, good) (4/4 turns) (craft bone)
Training: Lead (Cha)

► Show Spoiler

KnickKnack is torn between wanting to close in the deal with the trader, finding out what kind of frog that thing with the four eyes is and wanting to help Ozt get better soon. He barely finds time to finish his first javelin, but he is really happy that he is finally done. That was a LOT of work.

CRAFTING results:
When you announce that you want to craft an item you have to say how many turns you want to invest. Every turn you roll a appropriate Skill check. At the end you sum your rolls and compare them to the Difficulty.
<20% almost unusable
<50% crude
<100% rugged
<200% (normal)
<300% good
<500% fine
500%+ masterwork
You can only get maximum the quality of the components. (an almost unusable sword blade will never become a masterwork sword)

XP needed for Skill level up
lvl0 - 0
lvl1 - 10
lvl2 - 20
lvl3 - 40
lvl4 - 60
lvl5 - 90
ect.
or in words every two lvl the xp you need to raise one lvl increses by 10

@gathers, yeah I'm fine with that. I was gonna wait and and take care of Ozt (bandage heal(int) along with spell heal (wis) on Ozt) all in one turn. kinda wishing I had thought of making bandages last turn but oh well. Also occurs to me we could have Pskal make a salve from the mint and/or nightmare bane, but again my lack of foresight is detrimental. Might convince him to do that later or try my hand at it myself eventually.

@GM, can I order my actions I can make bandages and then immediately use them, this turn. Making my passive to make bandages come first, or would caring for Ozt only count as a passive, in which case I could have making bandages as my active. This is of course assuming I finish them one turn but my skill and stat are high enough that this should happen unless I completely fail my rolls.

Either way if Gather's other actions don't consume her active action and she does end up trying to heal, switch it so I'm helping her heal. Otherwise continue my investigation.

Nockit, takes his hastily made bandages and hurries on over to where KnickKnack is trying to heal Ozt. He we help him with the spell. He will then take his bandages and carefully wrap the worst remaining wound. "That should be better buddy. You'll be back in action in no time."

Substitute that into my original fluff if where appropriate

@eirikdaude: The other thing is there are so many generically useful skills that if you're still a little unsure, you can still level up useful skills without committing to a career path. Perception and stealth are good examples. Also just because one of us has chosen another career path, doesn't mean you can't also. Gathers has both bone and wood, and while her assistance in projects that involve said components would be appreciated, I don't always expect it to be available.

@gathers: if someone writes some RP to get some help and you give him no answer I think one of two things happened: 1. You ignore him 2. You didnt see it.
Both would lead to no help from your side. I like you all to help each other so: yes you can identify one creature or stuff for free in this fashion ( and you get that roll in your active action next round)
Making that deal with Lossa is at the moment:
Lie - Lossa vs Sence Motive - Krat
Persuade - Lossa vs Persuade - KnickKnack ( if you think you get ripped of based of the first check you get a bonus)

Casting a spell is always using charges from the item^^ a 'Spell component' for healing would be a crude healing-item with only 1 charge. healing is a passive or weapon spell so you can use it as passive action or in combat.

so your active action would be: Trade and Identify

@Chuck: You have small hunting snares and the hole is big enought for a fat happy rat to enter. The main component of your trap is a mithral wire and something got caught in that and took it with it. Nockit is wondering how a rat could take that trap with it because he thinks rats are not strong enought to do that.
Since I am allowing to craft as active action and giving long term-care to a kobold seems something like a passive action... help your meatshield.

@eirikdaude: your active action looks ok to me. That barrel is heavy. If could hinder your attemts to move unseen.

Did I miss a question?

[GathersIngredients]

@ spells: So, us learning the spell just makes us able to USE the scroll? I thought (probably inspired from D&D or something) that anyone could use scrolls and learning the spell 'by heart' would enable the chars to cast it without the presence of a scroll.
Also, how are scrolls made, then?
And can we maybe get a list of spells and needed components, please? (Or, if that already exists, just point me to it kindly. )
And we need a spell scroll AND the spell components to use the spell, is that correct?

@RP: I respect that and can do! in the future. I guess I was just assuming since it happened automatically the last time, I wouldn't have to agree this time, either.

@trading: Personally, I don't have an issue with the price atm, since we got all those herbs and whatnot in one turn, iirc. Also, like chuck says: these are raw materials, the breastplate and the shovel are refined items, and I have seen with the javelins just how long those can take to make... So, no, I don't feel ripped-off as a player. I have no idea about the char, though. ^^
But, in any case if I can shave off the one or other herb by using my persuasion skill when trying to close the deal (haggling?), then all the better, since I'm spending an action on it.


@ Chuck: My suggestion would be that you make your bandages this turn and perhaps we can co-heal Ozt next round...

Also, I just edited in this into my actions in the last post:
Free: order Pskal to try and improve his cooking skills, so he doesn't need an army or assistants the next time he has to cook something.

I hope I remembered correctly and I can do that with 'order'. I know that ordering is free, but I'm not 100% sure what I can order other kobolds to do.
