Difference between pages "Skeleton Aftermath" and "Slowly Healing"

Revision as of 11:39, 16 March 2021

The DM: Continued from First Aid.

July 4th

The bottom layer looks at least 8 cub.ft; call the one above 6 and the one above that 5; then 3, 2 & 2, for a total of 26. Vafrandir and Pandred get 10 of that completed.

The DM: I was going to say, a refridgerator is typically 22 cubic ft on the inside. The proposed cairn looks bigger than that.

The DM: After seeing about the bottle and the staff, once again Lexent gains 2 hp from rest and Marcule 1. I’m not certain, I think Marcule is up to full. How is Lexent?

Vafrandir: The picture I linked was an example. I agree, it is much larger than 10 cubic ft. But, we don't have time at the moment. If we build it as a square tower 1.5 ft on a side, that gives us a height of a little less than 4.5 ft. I'd say that's a good start if not quite an epic paleolith.

Lexent: Assuming that that is the healing gained for resting through the 4th, At the beginning of the 5th I will still be down 0.8 injury points and 6 HP.

The DM: We're not at the 5th yet. We're at the morning of the 4th. Let's not talk about the 5th until we're at the 5th. What are you down right now?

Lexent: My bad. I was thinking one day ahead. Was the bottle used on the third? Those figures would be for the morning of the 4th.

Lexent: Now that I have my days straight and it is the morning of the 4th, I use the Staff to heal 3+2+2=7 HP. I am now down to 0.1 Injury points and missing 6 HP.

The DM: Would someone better than me at math like to take a look at this, https://coast.noaa.gov/data/digitalcoast/pdf/canvis-height-horizon-calculation.pdf, and see if they can calculate how far a 4 ft. cairn would appear at least 1 in. tall?

Vafrandir: 144 ft away. Not very far.

The DM: If it wasn’t used on the 3rd, then it is too late now Lexent.

The DM: 1 inch is pretty big. What about 1/8th of an inch?

Vafrandir: 1152 ft or about a quarter mile.

Pandred: Take 4 more, Lex. That's my bottle.

Lexent: That puts me down only 3 HP.

The DM: Puts your goals for the cairn in context, then.

The DM: And you can work, Lexent, move around, help with the camp, etc. What are the plans for today?

Vafrandir: Yes, I view the cairn as a good start rather than a finished work.

Lexent: I notice that Vafrandir is still down 9 HP. Would we like to head back to the pit today, and if so, would you like me to cure light wounds first?

Vafrandir: What's the weather like today?

The DM: Just calculating. Cool, with a squall that dropped a little rain for half an hour, but that's past now. You have cloudy skies with some blue and a gentle breeze blowing.

Vafrandir: Let's scout out the area a bit today before heading down the hole. I would like that healing, Lexent, if you'd be so kind.

Lexent: I cast cure light wounds for 3+4=7 HP and apply it all to Vafrandir.

Lexent: I agree with scouting and head back up the mountain

Vafrandir: Beautiful. I go with Lexent.

Marcule: In. I am at full HP. Scouting sounds like a good idea.

The DM: Okay, you set out to explore the area within 2 miles, agreed? That’s 2 miles from where your camp is now, at the base of the ascent, not where the cairn is. Correct?

+'''The DM:''' I was going to say, a refridgerator is typically 22 cubic ft on the inside.  The proposed cairn looks bigger than that.
-: Consider Lexent on the surface.  You have enough time to search the skeleton barracks and get what you’ve already found to the surface, so presume you’re guarding Lexent and Marcule, who is suffering, in shifts.
+'''The DM:''' After seeing about the bottle and the staff, once again Lexent gains 2 hp from rest and Marcule 1.  I’m not certain, I think Marcule is up to full.  How is Lexent?
-: Apart from your own sword, Vafrandir, there are four others.  And three shields.  There are two chests that can be open; they contain clay cups, clothes, three wooden pipes and bottles that contained ale but have been drained, probably drunk.  These things are of minimal value.  There are two tightly-stoppeded flasks, four hematite gems, two cairngorn and six agates; all of these are cherry-sized, except two of the agates that are plum-sized.  There’s a dagger with a silver hilt.  And there are fifteen pieces of metal, looking not like placer nuggets but like puddled metal from a forge.  These are silver-blue in colour, much too heavy to be iron and certainly not shiny enough to be silver.  They have the same gloss as the polished hematite, yet they seem as dense as lead.  That’s what you find in the chests.
+'''[[Vafrandir]]:''' The picture I linked was an example. I agree, it is much larger than 10 cubic ft. But, we don't have time at the moment.

+:'''[[Vafrandir]]:''' 144 ft away. Not very far.
-'''[[Pandred]]''': In. We'll take the swords and shields, as well as the flasks and gems. The dagger and unusual metal as well. The incidentals we can leave behind for now. I'll load them and Lexent into the cart.
+'''The DM:''' If it wasn’t used on the 3rd, then it is too late now Lexent.

-'''[[Pandred]]''': I don't think so, but if Lex has ideas I'm open.
+'''Pandred''': Take '''4''' more, Lex. That's my bottle.
-'''[[Vafrandir]]:''' In. I'll not be available today but you may assume I'm hanging around and assisting with loading, that type of thing. Out.
+'''[[Lexent]]:''' That puts me down only 3 HP.
-'''The DM:''' If you’re not examining anything on site, I’m prepared to have you all returned to the cart with your plunder.
+'''The DM:''' Puts your goals for the cairn in context, then.
-'''[[Pandred]]''': I'd like to, but we haven't got two hp to rub together at this point. I'll load up and start back for Treborg.
+'''The DM:''' And you can work, Lexent, move around, help with the camp, etc.  What are the plans for today?
-'''[[Lexent]]''': Logistically I don't see any reason not to take everything that will fit on the cart. The time difference in getting all of it out instead of just some seems negligible.
+'''[[Vafrandir]]:''' Yes, I view the cairn as a good start rather than a finished work.
-'''[[Lexent]]''': Either way, I agree with this course of action and were I conscious, I would act on it.
+'''[[Lexent]]:''' I notice that  Vafrandir is still down 9 HP. Would we like to head back to the pit today, and if so, would you like me to cure light wounds first?
-== Withdrawing & Night ==
+'''[[Vafrandir]]:''' What's the weather like today?
-'''The DM:''' It’s been a long June 25th and if it were not summer in Norway, it would be nearly dark by now.  You have a couple of hours of progress you can make, with Pandred perfectly able to manage the cart regardless of having only 1 h.p.  Her and Vafrandir will have to risk being exposed out here and setting up camp in the highlands, but you are about 2 miles from the skeleton lair by the time you rest.  Move onto the next morning?  Set up guards?
-'''[[Lexent]]'''(OOC): How much input should I or should I not be providing?
+'''The DM:''' Just calculating.  Cool, with a squall that dropped a little rain for half an hour, but that's past now.  You have cloudy skies with some blue and a gentle breeze blowing.
-'''The DM:''' You can comment on the game and ask rule-based questions, but please don’t make suggestions to awake persons or help solve problems.
+'''[[Vafrandir]]:''' Let's scout out the area a bit today before heading down the hole. I would like that healing, Lexent, if you'd be so kind.
-'''[[Pandred]]''': How near is our forward camp at the boat?
+'''[[Lexent]]:''' I cast cure light wounds for '''3+4=7''' HP and apply it all to Vafrandir.
-'''The DM:''' Three miles north of here.  Remember, you were following the goblin’s trail, not your usual route out of Treborg.
+'''[[Lexent]]:''' I agree with scouting and head back up the mountain
-'''[[Pandred]]''': Gross. Alright, we'll set up camp. The demi-humans will have to take watch, I'm useless in the dark.
+'''[[Vafrandir]]:''' Beautiful. I go with Lexent.
-'''The DM:''' Marcule will need to rest.  Lexent is out.  Pandred can still hear, and this being very far north, it is never fully dark (nautical twilight most of the night).  I’m rolling a d6.
+'''Marcule:''' In. I am at full HP. Scouting sounds like a good idea.
-'''The DM:''' No encounters.  It’s morning again.
+'''The DM:''' Okay, you set out to explore the area within 2 miles, agreed?  That’s 2 miles from where your camp is now, at the base of the ascent, not where the cairn is.  Correct?
-'''[[Pandred]]''': Then let's hoof it back to Treborg so we can get real rest. I'll apply '''2''' hp from my salve to Lexent to get him on his feet.
-'''The DM:''' Lexent, I’ve added a sage ability to your [https://wiki.alexissmolensk.com/index.php/Medicine_(sage_study) Medicine] amateur study.  Not a full description, but something that has occurred to me as logical.  Make a wisdom check as well.
-'''[[Lexent]]''': I unfortunately roll a 16 again.
-== Treborg, 26th of June ==
-'''The DM:''' It will take seven hours to get back to Treborg; it is about 3 in the afternoon there.  Your appearance and condition will be noticed as you enter town, with a half-dozen residents coming forward to ask what has happened.
-'''[[Pandred]]''': "Scrap in the hills with some goblins. Looks like their hole in the ground is full to bursting with the undead. They didn't look too kindly on us, do any of you know them? Or, uh...Grond?" I'll look around for my trusty squire. "Odds! Odds, where are you?"
-'''Oddsdrakken:''' Here sir!
-'''[[Pandred]]''' "Could have used you Odds, it was a nail-biter." I'll procure one of the salves I gave him and try again on poor Lex for '''3''' this time.
-'''[[Lexent]]:''' And finally a 3.
-'''The DM:''' the villagers are awfully distressed at your reveal that you’ve discovered undead, and begin rapidly speaking to one another in terror.
-'''Villager #1: ''' “Have you led them here?”
-'''Villager #2: ''' “We’ll be murdered in our beds!”
-'''Villager #3: ''' “Someone has to warn Stavanger!”
-'''[[Lexent]]''': "Thank you Pandred, Did it seem as though we were followed? It seems I was unconscious for most of a day and I don't see any sign of them attacking."
-'''[[Pandred]]''': In an effort to calm the rabble: "I don't think we were followed, and the hole would be devilishly tough to crawl out of in numbers. And besides that, we're headed back as soon as we've rested."
-: '''P''': I'll add "But someone should know. Who's in charge around here?"
-'''The DM:''' you have no reason to think you’ve been followed.
-'''[[Lexent]]''': Have those assurances seemed to calm the villagers at all?
-'''The DM:''' Not really.  They rush off to take some kind of action.
-'''[[Pandred]]''': Rush off as in scatter, or could we tag along and maybe put a damper on some kind of local panic?
-'''The DM:''' Scatter.
-'''[[Lexent]]''': "I recommend we go see Father Arvin. He may be able to calm them down, and if I can spend a few moments in prayer, I can help you and Marcule with a bit of healing"
-'''[[Lexent]]''': I start toward the church.
-'''[[Pandred]]''': Fine. "Odds, if you could take over the unloading here. Get things indoors." I'll go to Father Arvin with Lexent.
-'''The DM:'''  Father Arvin will be there and will cheerfully sit down with you.  Hearing your story, he’ll say, “I’m afraid you’ve made an error here, my friends.  These are simple people; they know what undead are, but they’ve never seen one.  In future, I suggest you tell them a story more in line with what they can bear.”
-'''[[Lexent]]''': "What do you think the best course of action is on this occasion then, Father?"
-''' Father Arvin: '''  I’ll try to smooth this out with the people; I’d like to reassure them that you’ve successfully killed all the undead there are, and ease their minds.  Have you killed them all?”
