As I plan next adventures, it would be good to know of specific or general plans as many options are available.
June 29th - July 5th. characters recuperate in Crooked Yew.

From July 6th -10th, characters may decide to return to Helix or venture again from the Herne settlement.
Cadeweed has voiced being in Helix during the second downtime period to follow up on some interests. I am fine having the whole team there or splitting to follow other plot hooks.

Actions post any intents.

Dougal will stick to Moriartus. He's been a fair and equitable employer.

First week at the Crooked Yew, he is mostly interested in practicing his Hobgoblin language skill with the resident bugbears and meet with Clive to learn about what Dalin's message included.

Second week he will be in Helix to complete spell research, among other things. Future plans will likely include a trip to Ironguard.

Moriartus
While in Crooked Yew, do you wish to conduct any Identify on the items that are unidentified?

Dougal any checking in with ranger Hunnicot (use CY thread).

Any last Expedition thread discussions or actions?

Remember to update sheets with any items, skills upgrades, new hp, THAC0 and Saving Throws before you leave the settlement.

Updated the loot list above with the Quillan Woad Dye assigned to Jorly. I will leave the unidentified potion for Raven to test, if he desires. Moriartus will use his pearl and cast Identify on the tiles.

The tiles were identified and grouped into one of three possible effects. Each character may select one tile.

A) roll a skill check, saving throw or attack with 'Advantage' ie: roll twice and action the best of the two rolls. (x3 tiles)

B) invokes a minor protective spell, warding the wielder with a random generated HD's worth of temporary hp. (x2 tiles)

C) provides a temporary Attribute boost. (x2 tiles).

Hake would prefer an "Advantage" tile if possible.

Two-Birds & Raven exchange items, (Ahlmzhad expressed a preference which will help him with a specific roll).

I will inform in private forums any tile specifics so you know when and how to use them.

So, unless there are more expedition related posts, I will conclude here and move this thread to the Completed Expeditions.

Just to round up:

actions A) any character levelling up, increasing hp, THAC0, Saving Throws, class skills, attributes or other upgrades; please adjust sheets to reflect character progress.

actions B) I counted a week's rest & recuperation in Crooked Yew, until 6th July.

From this date any character is free to leave the settlement to follow up other activities, start another expedition.

For those going back to Helix, I am moving the next Expeditions start to July 10th so that I can synchronise everybody in the campaign and have concurrent expeditions timewise. If you want to go to Helix, you may, just post your arrival in the Brazen Strumpet Tavern and note Upkeep of choice to cover the four days until 10th July.

actions C), I have Cadeweed posting in Helix, arranging his next endeavours. But no specific plan, so I am leaving that open for you folks to discuss and band together or separate into smaller teams to investigate areas of specific interest like 'explore the Barrows', 'visit the druid', return to the sacred groves', 'anything else'.

Dougal remains with Moriartus. He's also interested in what's going in the forest and the corruption of the Silvanus' cult... Hopefuly their interests align.

Raven

It being pleasant here, and with no reason to abandon Moriartus (not to mention that his Goblin syntax is atrocious) Raven will wait to see where the winds of crisis blow them.
