Out of Character: No plan I am aware of. It is an open world, we could go anywhere. I would suggest we hit up the rumor mill in town, see if anything of interest has cropped up, Bastion is not the best in the group for info gathering though.

Before either of us joined the game, the group apparently encountered some manner of hostile occupied fort nearby they had to pass up on raiding. With the equipment and levels gained since, that might now be a doable challenge. Or it might not, I'm not sure what kind of defenses it has.

If that doesn't seem appealing, and we get no other good leads around here, we could always just pack up and head to another town/city. Probably look for another place like this one. A town with problems just a little too big for the local guard to handle. We don't need to be tackling world threatening events just yet Or we could head for a major city and ask around for any outstanding bounties, see if there is anything lucrative in our range.

We do need to remain careful in what we try to take on, do our research ahead of time. There's no level adjustment, and Kn is perfectly content to let us all wander into the lair of a demilich if we're all so foolish as to do so.

Out of Character: There is a city, as I understand it, that can be checked but there is also the north which has giants and a castle with some people that we killed when they tried to ambush us. Choose your fancy, I'm good wither way.

Out of Character: Ooh, giants might be a little much as of yet, even the weak varieties would be a challenge to face just one at a time let alone grouped up.

Might I suggest that Krusten and Ildrahil check on rumors in town, concerning jobs and problems that might become jobs? If that produces nothing new, then I suggest we see about relocating to the city or another town. We've probably earned a fair bit of reputation around here, we can work with that.

Out of Character: No problem, but since I already posted about figuring out how much money we got from the last trip to the cave I'll need to wait til someone posts there or the 4 hours.

Out of Character: , he'll probably ask for a Gather Information check soon enough, might want to go ahead and roll for it. I'd be helping, but I have a pretty hefty penatly to such.

The Wild Whisper says...

Out of Character: So it seems there are 4 wands of CLW available. I say we just go ahead and buy them all. I actually already had Albrecht buying 2 wands of CLW in my estimate of him having 2400 left, so Albrecht could buy all 4 if anyone has anything else they want to buy. Druids are notoriously lacking in needs for equipment. Especially next level when we get wild shape and most stuff becomes useless. So that leaves 900 GP for Albrecht if he buys all 4 himself and distributes them among the group. Does anyone else have a need for 900 more GP to buy something useful?

Also, about the fort and stuff to the north: We went north, encountered a few people who attacked us. We then followed a side trail back to their fort, which is well fortified via its position in the side of the mountain and we didn't see a good way to attack. We backtracked to the main road and continued north, until we came across a field of boulders with a dead caravan, and giant footsteps. We went a little further north, then chickened out and got attacked by spiders on our way back south to the Gralen (Our town). Avan seems keen on trying to attack the fort again, because with the potion of gaseous form, we now have a way to get at least one person inside the fort and maybe we can make another go at attacking it. I suggest we see what information can be gathered (It seems the Dungeon Master is just going to give us is the hill giants in the north and the trade route to the east.) The hill giants are CR 7 each, so a group of 2 hill giants would bump it to CR 9 and 4 would bump it to CR 11. I would suggest we not mess with them too much,as that is pretty overwhelming for us now. We could still investigate the fort again, as those are at least humans (Or humanoids, as we were raided by half-orcs and humans on our way towards the fort). There may be a ton of them at the fort, but we can hopefully chunk them up into manageable bits.

Out of Character: Okay then, the fort sounds like it might be doable. The potion is not the only advantage at hand. The Rod of Lordly Might has a 50' anchored ladder function, and the Wand of Fireballs can nuke any large groups into more reasonable chunks.

Shall we go check it out?

As to funds, I'm good. The next item of significance Bastion is gunning for costs 16,000 (Belt of Giant Strength), so he's in saving it up mode. Partly for that reason, when it comes to the CLW wands, he's willing to front as much as a grand for that purpose, but will be a little leery of sinking more into it.

Dark Druid says...

Out of Character: Metagaming! Though in character we would probably want to avoid the giants.

I haven't added any gold to my sheet yet. So the total is 4,000 credit and 6,972 gold? -150 for the share in the wand. Or are we getting 4, or should I buy my own?

Avan has made a personal vendetta against those in the fort. A party member died (When their player left) and he doesn't like to retreat. There is provision for 3 to enter by Gaseous Form or Fly and the rod's ladder function should be more than enough to bypass the pit and scale the wall that surrounds the fort. Note well that the fort has at least 1 ballista for defence. Therefore I think we should go at night - hence my question in the topic.
