Kupa pats his pack, "I've got a good size piece of canvas here and as I recall Hammerhands does as well."

Having traveled daytime today, will this be an extended rest thru evening and day or extended march thru the night and rest tomorrow?

Arnir · Post by **Arnir** » Wed Nov 14, 2007 1:08 am

I suggest we rest tonight and let the injured recover.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Wed Nov 14, 2007 6:00 am

I'll second the rest tonight and through the day tomorrow unless someone has a good reason to press on during the night.

Hyena · Post by **Hyena** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 1:22 pm

If we are to rest through the night and tomorrow, I suggest we not spend that time idle. I propose we send a small scouting party around the area to ensure a safe campsite for such a long time, as well as scout out a path for the the next night's travel. I will volunteer, and I would welcome any company with more...wilderness familiarity.

Alpha Wagon is driven by Jerrod (Human) and is filled with Barrels.

Beta Wagon is driven by Derek (Human) and is filled with Long Wooden Boxes.

Charlie Wagon is driven by Yngma (Dwarf) and is filled with Netting wrapped around Small Boxes.

Sepha (Human) has her own Horse and rides alongside the Caravan.

Sepha suggests using the three wagons as three walls of a Campsite with the opening facing the road, allowing for three people to keep watch from a seated position in three directions.

None of the Caravan NPCs have any great ability in Wilderness, but Sepha knows the general terrain/local routes.

I'm fairly wilderness friendly, I can come with you.

Arnir · Post by **Arnir** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 8:58 am

I'll stay here in the camp and help work on any help I can give the drivers.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 6:47 pm

Are GrandMof and Hyena ok from the Heat?

Party Camp: Three wagons around central area, creating shade in center of wagons, open to the road.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 3:30 am

Henya was not hurt by the heat but I took 3 points of non-lethal damage.

Hyena · Post by **Hyena** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 4:24 pm

Correct, I was not damaged by the heat.

Also, if it is not too late:

I think we should consider camping a...comfortable distance from the road so as not to attract unwanted attention. Far enough to see the road, but not so close as to be readily seen by someone unless they are looking for us.

I get dressed in my black adventuring outfit to prepare for scouting during the evening/night hours.

I am prepared when you are, friend. Lead the way and I will follow.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 10:52 pm

What rolls will I need to make to look for a safe campsite?

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 12:21 am

Consider the Campsite safe other than establishing a watch.

The scouting will be a collection of: Spot, Search, and Survival

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 8:06 pm

Consider us officially scouting the area. Rolls are below.

Spot
1d20+7
15+7=22

Search
1d20+3
11+3= 14

Surival
1d20+5
8+5= 13

Hyena · Post by **Hyena** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 1:26 pm

Spot: 1d20+4
15+4= 19

Search: 1d20+1
14+1= 15

Survival: 1d20+4
17+4= 21

I guess I will mumble to myself and my animals as the heat has gone to my head

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Fri Nov 30, 2007 3:59 pm

Search - no result

Spot - you do see a small party camped about three miles from your current chosen campsite in the direction of your travel

Wilderness - you find ample Foraging and a Spring that runs parallel to the road.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Fri Nov 30, 2007 9:20 pm

As Hyena and myself get back to the wagons we gather everyone for a briefing.

Everyone, we have completed our search of the surrounding area and have found some interesting things. There is a small party camped out about 3 miles away from here. The only issue with this that I see is that they are camped in our path.

On a good note, we found a lot of food and a fresh water spring that runs along the road side. We'll need to have some plan on how to deal with this unknown group that is in our path.

Chaos - Since we found this spring would we be able to travel during the heat of the day if we stay close or in the spring as we go?

Yes, with Brief Rest Periods to cool off.

Arnir · Post by **Arnir** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 12:12 pm

If we can use canvas, cloth and/or tents to create shade for the wagons and use the water, I think daytime movement should be resumed.

Does anyone need healing?

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 10:10 pm

That sounds like a good plan when we get ready to move again but i think we should watch this other party for a short time to try and determine if they are hostile or not.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 10:43 pm

Travel Plans?

Spying/Scouting other Party?

Hyena · Post by **Hyena** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 10:51 am

When we saw this party, could we tell what they were? Humans, Orcs, Goblins? How close did we get, and were we able to tell what they were doing?

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 12:42 pm

Close enough to determine they were most likely Humans, with no discernible insignia or common uniform, and they were assembling tents and cooking.

Arnir · Post by **Arnir** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 7:00 pm

Arthur will stay with the camp as his stealth abilities are about the same as a hurricane. Unless, of course, we attack something then he will tag along for support.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 10:00 am

Do people have their Status regarding Nonlethal Damage and Actual Damage?

Hyena · Post by **Hyena** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 11:00 am

Despite our first encounter with people, I think we would quickly descend into true paranoia if we delay our duty for every party we see. That being said, we should be cautious and avoid contact with them if possible. They simply seemed to be doing the same thing we are.

I agree with Arthur: we pack up in the morning and move on at day break, considering we found a stream to help fight the heat.

Have we actually rested overnight yet? Doesn't that reset our damage stats?

I was trying to get a Gauge of how much Healing or Rest is required.

Arnir · Post by **Arnir** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 2:59 pm

Gotcha. I had 4 nl damage points.

coopasonic · Post by **coopasonic** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 3:25 pm

I believe we stand as follows:
Jerrod = 5 nonlethal damage
Derek = 1 nonlethal damage
Sepha = 7 nonlethal damage

Kupa/coopasonic = 4 nonlethal damage
Arthur/Arnir = 4 nonlethal damage
Gideon/GrandMof = 3 nonlethal damage

Healing Nonlethal Damage
You heal nonlethal damage at the rate of 1 hit point per hour per character level.
When a spell or a magical power cures hit point damage, it also removes an equal amount of nonlethal damage.

Therefore without Magical Healing it will take 4 Hours (plenty of time to proceed as desired) before the entire party is recovered from the heat.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 2:58 am

Let us rest and continue on by trying to avoid the other party and use the stream as protection from the hot sun.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 3:13 am

The evening passes without event. Your suffering from the heat is quickly healed. (restore all Lost HP due to Heat)

As it turns out, traveling by the water is a great way to beat the heat, with only minimal time lost for occasional breaks, you make great time. As the evening approaches you see a rather large tree near the bank in the distance. You may be able to reach it if you travel a little past dark.

It's a trap!

Hyena · Post by **Hyena** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 11:07 am

I just had a mental image of Admiral Ackbar swinging around in that crazy chair of his. Either that or Tom Bombadil singing Old Man Willow into releasing the hobbits.

That tree could be a good place to rest, but I think we should scout it first. Perhaps one of our animal friends could go investigate?

I concur.

I need to double check the party makeup and see what classes we have with us.

Druid/Wild Rogue here

I will ask Johan if he would be so kind as to give the tree a once over with his eagle eyes

+16 on spot for him Mr Chaosraven DM , sir, assuming you will roll that check for him.
