 Mercule, you may draw upon your credit if you wish; interest equals 1% per month, with a minimum return payment of +3% (so you might as well not return it for three months, when the cost will be the same; the interest compounds after the third month).--[[User:The DM|The DM]] ([[User talk:The DM|talk]]) 16:50, 18 September 2020 (MDT)

 : That's fine. If we have the opportunity in the future to give a level, I just want it on record that I personally don't intend to pass that up. Keep your books up to date friends. For those of you without a calculator, final total is 269gp for everyone including Mercule, with the extra 2 for Embla on the grounds that she almost died and needs more to level than Vafrandir. --16:44, 19 September 2020 (MDT)

 :::: Thank you, Alexis. I think heading east of Mimmarudla, towards the lakes and where the sea meets the mountains seems like an interesting place to explore. That said, without a ranger, overland travel is a great deal more difficult. We might want to see if we can hire one, or look to find work within Stavanger proper. I get a hireling at 5th level that could be a ranger, and that's only like 6k away... --[[User:Embla|Embla]] ([[User talk:Embla|talk]]) 12:32, 18 September 2020 (MDT)
-:::: Thanks for that map -- I had very nearly found one when you posted it! I am thinking east of either Hole or Verdalen. I suggest we go through Hole, along the fjord. That gives us a bit of time before we get into the harsher mountains proper. [[Embla]] makes a good point though, a ranger will make things easier. –[[Vafrandir]] 12:39, 18 September 2020 (MDT)

 :::::Sorry for the late input! Alexis, one hex east of Jorpeland is a mountainous area that is otherwise un-numbered. Am I right to call that a "wilderness" hex? I'd like to propose we think about exploring that mountain range near the fjord. We can use Jorpeland or Hole as a basecamp/careenage for a boat to strike out. --[[User:Pandred|Pandred]] ([[User talk:Pandred|talk]]) 14:56, 18 September 2020 (MDT)

 Steadily, loaded down, the party wends its way to the surface again.  You stagger up the back-and-forth stairwell and you stumble along the ledge that follows the underground river.  You finally reach the narrow crevice that you bridge yourselves, uneasily carrying your loads across it.  You make your way along the passageway until you come to the stone pits where you fought the ticks; and then upwards through the main lair of the froglings, where everything of value has been stripped away.  There are no workmen left and it is quiet.  Finally, after a long, steady day of work, you see daylight ahead; you climb out into the sun, half-blinded from it; it has been a week since you've felt its rays upon your flesh.
