Torix gives Cruloc his +1 flint spear. He's not proficient with swords, so he'll only take the +1 Thracian one if no one else wants it.

A Pict without murder in his heart is as unthinkable as a Zingaran trollop who lacks a moustache.
This never gets old. :lol:

Thank you, Jemmus! If your new spear turns out to be lame in some way, you can have this one back.

His thoughts do stray to his spell books then and his studies for the day. While pondering these mysteries, he reviews his spells and a particular useful favorite ‘enlarge’. His notes scrawled in the margins of the page remind him of the spells reverse - ‘reduce’. Also equally useful at times. In fact, with a bit of impatience bubbling up, he ponders the notion of shrinking Crulocs manhood - maybe to match the size of his impetuous brain….

He sighs and shakes off such thoughts and recommits himself to his studies. Mostly.
Touche! :D

:) For the record, I liked Crulocs initial reaction to amethu's whining about the library :) Good stuff!

By "initial reaction", do you mean "Crom's nonexistent library"? I changed it because the alliterative "Crom's barren bookshelf" sounded better.

Anyhow, thanks for the comment. Whereas Cruloc doesn't care what anyone thinks, I do.

The second one is good also, but I was referring to the 'nonexistent library' and his tone in how he said it :)

Yes, I know the image in my latest DM post doesn't look exactly like Torix. But it does have the benefit of having been painted by N.C. Wyeth. :)

N.C. Wyeth is great. If you need a heroic image for about any genre (medieval, pirates, frontier, Old West, whatever), N.C. is a good go-to.

Night Watch:
1st: Amethu & Cruloc
2nd: Dahinna & Kiri
3rd: Torix
This is good for night watch, minus Torix of course. Let's do 2 watches at night, and then we can take turns napping during the day to catch up on our sleep while we wait for his return.

I have my doubts that darts can be crafted solely from wood. My understanding is that throwing darts require a metal head for balance.

DM, what say you?

Yes, medieval darts have metal tips.

They each weigh 5lbs, more than twice the weight of an arrow! (PHB p.37)
