'''The DM:''' Waking up at your camp on the 18th, you find the weather is not bad for Norway: a thin mist with plenty of visibility, no more than light airs that can just be felt and a pleasant temperature.
Pilot (4 s.p), fisher (60 s.p)
+
: However, before committing ourselves to a furtherance of adventuring, let me first explain I'm slightly under the weather. I have a little to do this morning, so I'll be checking less rarely.  And I'd like to be absolutely sure that everyone is up to speed on changes in character — and that includes Lexent, who also went up to 3rd just recently.  This is '''the right time''' to ask questions about any new abilities you've acquired.  I didn't have time to work them up, but I can get some details sorted right here, and work them up later.
  
108 c.p. per month on the 19th

'''The DM:''' Pandred, when you get back to your camp late on the 17th, you'll find Anduin there. He'd come into Treborg, heard some stories about your party, followed you out and found your camp, spoke to your followers there and has been waiting to meet you. He and Pandred get along very well from the start and though the relationship realistically builds over time, you may accept that he's your henchfolk and you're running him.
  
HP ?/?
+
'''The DM:''' I've been thinking about '''Set Injury''' Lexent, and I think it should probably work, initially, that when you set the injury, three effects take place.  One injury point is removed.  You improve the character's mobility (which will depend on making up individual rules for each kind of injury eventually).  And finally, you can aid the hit points gained the same way as aid rest works, with Pandred restoring 7 sup-points of injury per day, as opposed to 5.  The injury page will need to be updated at little, to make the healing section there clearer, and the Set Injury page will need to be made, but for now consider this canon.

'''Pandred''': I've changed Arduin's fourth spell from Purify Water to Shillelagh if you don't object, as his background allowed him to get proficiency in club.

: For other questions I think I would most like to be clued in to what advantages Pandred gets from her new amateur Motivation sage ability, and what Natural Astronomy would provide for Arduin. Will it grant us some ability to avoid getting lost, or is that mainly a benefit while sailing? Should I add a sextant or anything similar to my starting equipment to allow use of the skill?
  
Nadia is grim, serious and yet civil and agreeable, nimble and strong, with a tendency to fail to understand humour.  
+
'''The DM:''' '''Motivation (sage study)'''.
 +
: 1. '''Improve Morale (sage ability) ''': All hirelings gain a +1 morale when within 60 feet of Pandred’s person or voice.
  
She was born in Kristianstad and only arrived in Stavanger last fall;
+
: 2. '''Recruit (sage ability) ''': the character has excellent skills at recruiting new hirelings for duty, with skills at finding new people.  The character adds +1 ability stat to the hireling’s totals, per 5,000 city population, to stat desired, provided no single stat is increased 3 more than the least unincreased stat.  Let me know if that needs an example.
  
She has sailed around the Fjord however and is familiar with the coastlines from Bergen to Goteborg. She has twice been across the Skagerrak to Jutland.  
+
: 3. '''Raise Group (sage ability) ''': essentially it allows you to raise a posse in cases where the enforcement of law and order is needed.  I’ll put this into more medieval-speak when I write the page but that’s the short hand.
  
She has an authority skill level in sailing and an amateur in fishing.  
+
'''The DM:''' Yes Lexent, go ahead and run the night before, though remember you're too tired to do anything seriously work-like until you rest.
  
Nadia is 27 years old, 6 ft. tall, 146 lbs., with China blue eyes and russet brown hair, with ivory skin.  
+
'''[[Lexent]]:''' Once things have settled down back at camp, I ask for a moment of Marit's time. I apologise to her for aksing her to open the door in the dungeon earlier, and thank her for her efforts of the day.
  
Her father was a porter, who arranged an apprenticeship for her in Kristianstad so she'd have a better life than him. Her birthday is August 7th.
+
'''[[Lexent]]:''' How many hit points does everybody need, including hirelings? I show Marit as needing 1, and I'm down by 17.

'''[[Vafrandir]]:''' When I add my new HP, do I add it to my current as well as my max?
  
Farmer (23 c.p.), Forager (10 c.p.) , Hunter (60 c.p.)
+
'''[[Lexent]]:''' Pandred, Don't forget to use your bottle on the 17th.
  
93 c.p. per month on the 18th
+
'''The DM:''' Lexent, casting a spell is hard work. When you’ve been staggering around doing heavy stress activities for 12 hours, you’re hardly in a condition to pray effectively. Why not just let it wait for the morning?  I know, I know, you want the benefit of doing it twice, tonight and the next day.  But I’m afraid not; you’ve spent your wad for the 17th.  You’re pooped.
  
5/5 HP
+
: As regards Marit, she waves it off.  “I’ve forgotten already,” she’ll tell you.
  
Not Levelled. 0 XP
+
'''The DM:''' Vafrandir, yes.  If your current is 10, and your max is 24, and you added 7 h.p., your current would be 17 and your max would be 31.
  
Str 10, Int 10, Wis 10, Con 14, Dex 8, Chr 9.

'''[[Lexent]]:''' Very well.
  
Neighbourly personality, gentle charm, low born perspective, robust, with tenacity and grit.

'''[[Lexent]]:''' Has my ''Olfactory Acuity'' added any types of potions or substances I can recognise?
  
Born in Stavanger May 20th, vaguely familiar to Pandred.  
+
'''[[Lexent]]:''' Other than using my spells and having Pandred use a healing salve from her bottle, I don't know of anything else we were planning to do on the 17th.
  
Sky blue eyes, 154 lbs., 5 ft. 7 in., 24 years old, wheaten coloured hair, alabaster skin.

Pandred: Salve gives 2 to whomever is most needful.
  
Father was a farmer; possesses farmer, foraging and hunter sage abilities.

'''[[Vafrandir]]:''' Understood.

'''[[Lexent]]:''' Are we going to head back up today, or would we like to rest a day? Helga is in the negatives and Asger is below half hit points.

'''[[Vafrandir]]:''' Let's rest up. We're not terribly bad off but we've had a good beating.
  
[[File:New July 13th Hirelings.jpg|center|630px|thumb|]]
+
'''The DM:''' Lexent, yes.  “Some potions” would include the most common: healing, heroism, sweet water, protection potions.  Since this is an amateur ability, I should have covered this earlier.  Marcule took a heroism potion; it lasted until he woke up the next day.  You would have had time to sniff it so yes, the OTHER potion is also heroism.

'''The DM:''' Vafrandir, do you have any questions about the increased puissance list?
  
Arvid is fair, in that he would be recognized as attractive in a room full of people; he is a pleasure to be around, warm, receptive, interesting to listen to and says the sort of things that an employer wants to hear about a willingness to work and get things done.
+
'''[[Lexent]]:''' We rest for the day. I use my ''Aid Rest'' to assist Vafrandir, Marcule, Helga, Asger, and Bjarni.

Arvid is irrepressibly jolly as well.

'''Pandred''': Oh! Before I forget, I'm so sorry. Alexis, could you drum up Arduin's encumbrance? For some reason I can't use the excel sheet from your wiki: it saves as "read only" and I can't access the hidden sheets to copy the formulas.

Continued from Chieftain's Room

The DM: Waking up at your camp on the 18th, you find the weather is not bad for Norway: a thin mist with plenty of visibility, no more than light airs that can just be felt and a pleasant temperature.

However, before committing ourselves to a furtherance of adventuring, let me first explain I'm slightly under the weather. I have a little to do this morning, so I'll be checking less rarely. And I'd like to be absolutely sure that everyone is up to speed on changes in character — and that includes Lexent, who also went up to 3rd just recently. This is the right time to ask questions about any new abilities you've acquired. I didn't have time to work them up, but I can get some details sorted right here, and work them up later.

The injury page will need to be updated at little, to make the healing section there clearer, and the Set Injury page will need to be made, but for now consider this canon.

Will it grant us some ability to avoid getting lost, or is that mainly a benefit while sailing? Should I add a sextant or anything similar to my starting equipment to allow use of the skill?

The DM: Motivation (sage study).

1. Improve Morale (sage ability) : All hirelings gain a +1 morale when within 60 feet of Pandred’s person or voice.
