The Sundered Way - OOC

[spiderwrangler]

Maji can also prepare create/destroy water if needed. That way we don't have to rush.

True, I think you'd be able to make 80 if you spend all your slots on it. Just using Coljin as an illustration point that if you're relying solely on the spell, that means that the cleric/druid aren't going to have a lot of slots left for combat/healing, etc.

Maji could also decrease food needs, particularly for the mules with application of goodberry.

I hear you when you say not all is going to fit...but that...doesn't really mean much to me...

Because...we don't really have any idea what is fitting...we really don't know anything.

Do the trade goods take up 1 whole wagon...1 and half wagons...I mean...trade goods are trade goods..but...how much is there in terms of wagon capacity.

This is the part in the videogame where you start dropping trash that doesn't have a good value for the size/weight. The orcs had the wagons packed full of what they thought was most worth taking back to wherever they were headed. You may have less water/food requirements due to your casters, and can cram a bit more on that way, but pretty much anything else you want to put on means something else is getting left behind.

If you NEED some sort of quantifiable measure, trade goods take up every part of the wagon that isn't driver's seat, water barrels, food stores, or those items that I'd mentioned by name (artisan tools, etc.). At least 3/4ths+ of each wagon is various goods that were being transported by caravans.

Here is what we should so about the bag of holding. Stuff that is worth the most should probably go in there, if nobody is willing to carry it. After the more valuable stuff, then we should put the stuff that is less bulky and does not weigh a lot so that we can use all the space we can get.

As for the wagons, we can have some of the bulker items, and put some of the smaller items inside of them to make the most room, stacking them so they are sturdy and fill them to the roof with a little walking space, exception to our/the livable wagon. If we don't keep the barrels topped off with water, we can fill them with stuff and maybe keep a barrel to hold water.

Anything that is junk (the plates and axes) maybe during our down time we can try to make them into iron bars and sell it so that it takes less room and possibly more profit.

[thinkslogically]

Agreed. Although small or wearble valuables, and some emergency money should probably be carried in belt pouches and such, if only to minimise some of the risk of keeping all our eggs in one basket.

[BadgeAddict]

By the way...we don't know what the dried meat is...

[thinkslogically]

okay... Do you want us to do something with it?

[Arch Lich Burns]

By the way...we don't know what the dried meat is...

Maji will take it if nobody else is, and if it's a new animal maybe he can change into it!

[thinkslogically]

And if it's people, Maji probably won't mind either. Seems like a good solution to our mystery meat problem

[Rodgeir]

Dornikal would also likely be willing to help carry things, but not if it is crazy.

Badge, if Zephyr happened to go by when Dornikal was doing his gem work it might spark a memory that she wanted something turned into a necklace?

And really anyone else that wants some work done with gemstones - and as a bonus you will probably get to hear about Dumathoin!

[BadgeAddict]

Actually...you saying that reminded me of that...

[thinkslogically]

Nem has no real interest in the gods I'm afraid, but she'd be interested in hearing Dornikal's tales of adventure in the mines

She won't ask though - it seems like those memories are probably still a bit too fresh to be poked at.

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Randy would probably be willing to watch. He might be willing to eventually let Dornikal install the mini nuke on a pendent of some sort where Randy could reach it in a hurry. But not until he's reasonably sure Dornikal won't blow either of them up. If he wishes to discuss deities....well, he might find Randy's view point on cosmology a bit...different.

[Rodgeir]

I think the word you are looking for Lurks is blasphemous.

[Arch Lich Burns]

If you can get a discussion out of Maji, his views are ...different.

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Hells Bells! Between the increased Dex mod and adding the shield, Randy turned into a tank!

[thinkslogically]

Oooooh! Did you get your Level 4 already? That's cool

[spiderwrangler]

Hells Bells! Between the increased Dex mod and adding the shield, Randy turned into a tank!

Realized that with the breastplate, that caps you at at +2 to your AC from DEX, so it'd only be the boost from the shield, but since you're moving away from the dual wielding...

Oooooh! Did you get your Level 4 already? That's cool

I'll get folks there narratively soon.

[thinkslogically]

Ah! No rush at all, I thought maybe you'd been PMing folk individually and I got excited

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Sorry! Just been tweeking out his stats ahead of time. Still, even with the 2 cap on Dex, that woudl give Randy an AC of 18. He'll loose some more back to 17 when he goes monk, but he'll be able to dual wield again. If he waits to go monk after he's Ranger 5, he'll get his second attack, plus be able to still use PW as bonus action, which will allow his DPS to go up considerably.
Yeah, I'm plotting and counting my chickens before they hatch. Randy'll probably get ate by a pit fiend or somethin' given the way our party operates.

[Rodgeir]

The ground rumbles and trembles under most of you above the mine entrance as Korgal bellows.

Spider, was this just Korgal being awesome or did the ground actually shake?

[thinkslogically]

Could have been Thaumaturgy effects:

You manifest a minor wonder, a sign of supernatural power, within range. You create one of the following magical effects within range.

• Your voice booms up to three times as loud as normal for 1 minute.
• You cause flames to flicker, brighten, dim, or change color for 1 minute.
• You cause harmless tremors in the ground for 1 minute.
• You create an Instantaneous sound that originates from a point of your choice within range, such as a rumble of thunder, the cry of a raven, or ominous whispers.
• You instantaneously cause an unlocked door or window to fly open or slam shut.
• You alter the appearance of your eyes for 1 minute.

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its 1-minute effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.

[Rodgeir]

Would an orc warchief have that? Maybe the shaman did it?

[thinkslogically]

Could have been the shaman for sure. Spider can confirm if it was real or metaphorical rumblings or what, but it wasn't necessarily anything powerful.

[spiderwrangler]

Could have been the shaman for sure.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Since we are not killing the orc, I guess I should tell ya that there was a real possibility of Maji leaving if you killed him. I was mentally planning for the next character and had a rough character concept.

[BadgeAddict]

Oh boy...operation, "Knife the Orc when other people are sleeping" has commenced.
