Tarq-Rubbing the ringing out of his ears. That was no real dragon egg. At least I have never heard of dragon eggs exploding before.

Dureau Sathaos

It's a good thing we weren't actually in the market for buying a red dragon egg. I'm still a bit miffed that they cheated us, but in the grand scheme of things, it isn't that important, I guess. Especially since we cheated them, as well.
Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Urth Stormwind

I guess that takes away the worry about a dragon egg being misused he mutters aloud. This has been too much excitement and noise for one evening. He now takes his share of the money. To the Stranger I don't like the secrecy but it appears that you have been honest so far. Good luck tracking those responsible for that egg.

Tarq- I will not take a share of the gold. I did not earn it. Use it to purchase party items for next excursion.

Night of Rest
"That was no real dragon egg," Tarq says, rubbing the ringing out of his ears. "At least I have never heard of dragon eggs exploding before." Dureau and Kañ-Demir and everyone else affected begin to gradually sense the ringing sensation in their ears begin to wane, and for the complete darkness they were stricken with begin to give way to light, and color. Slowly.

As his sight returns, Kañ-Demir notices that the stranger is still in the inn, and assisting with Catarina, Grimbul, and Urth in making sure those that are just now recovering from the blast are doing so safely. Including Madame Kathil and Merey.

"I am definitely going to need to report this," the stranger says; shaking his head to help facilitate his recovery from the powerful sensations of the blast. He begins to collect his possessions. "Be well," he says as he begins to make for the front door. "I suspect our paths will cross again."

After partings have been exchanged, the group returns to business.

"It's a good thing we weren't actually in the market for buying a red dragon egg," Dureau says, still aching. "I'm still a bit miffed that they cheated us, but I guess it isn't that important since we cheated them as well."

"What do ya expect?"
Grimbul groans. "We gave 'em fake diamonds, they gave us a fake egg."

"This has been too much excitement and noise for one evening,"
Urth says, taking his share of the money. He turns to the stranger. "I don't like the secrecy, but it appears that you have been honest so far." he starts. "Good luck tracking those responsible for that egg." With that, the warlock retires to the room.

Catarina volunteers to stay awake an extra hour to make sure nothing is amiss, which the rest of the group agrees to, trailing behind Urth and retiring to the room. The inn is quiet, and Cat is craving a nap after an eventful evening, so she retires before the full hour is over.


---

The group reconvenes in the dining area shortly after sunrise the following morning, well rested and in good spirits.
Merey serves the group breakfast and takes any additional food and drink orders.

In the morning, Tarq refuses his portion of the payment, claiming he hasn't earned it. "Use it to purchase items for next excursion," he adds. Overhearing the potential for a shopping excursion, Madame Kathil suggests the general smithy, Horgath's Anvil, or the general store, General Goode's General Goods.

Does anyone have any need for supplies? Let's take care that before having the group set out.

Speaking of which, is the plan to still continue on to Greenest?

        • When you move on your turn in combat, you can double your speed until the end of the turn.
        • Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you move 0 feet on one of your turns.
      • Cat’s Claws:
        • Because of your claws, you have a climbing speed of 20 feet.
        • In addition, your claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes.

      • 1st: Expertise (Perception, Stealth)
        • Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
      • 1st: Sneak Attack (1d6)
        • Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon.
        • You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
      • 1st: Thieves’ Cant
        • During your rogue training you learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation.
        • Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages.
        • It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
        • In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.
      • 2nd: Cunning Action
        • You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

          • Note: This has been modified to limit this study and familiarity to just metallic dragons, not those of the chromatic variety.

You always have free room and board in any place where shield dwarves or gold dwarves dwell, and the individuals in such a settlement might vie among themselves to determine who can offer you (and possibly your compatriots) the finest accommodations and assistance.

      Background: Far Traveler (Dwarf)
      • Feature: All Eyes on You
        • Your accent, mannerisms, figures of speech, and perhaps even your appearance all mark you as foreign. Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.

          You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and people.

Grimbul eats his breakfast and nods Cat talks about getting armor "Aye sure we can go do that." he says between bites. Once finished with his meal and a good hot drink he will go with Dr. Cat Jones to the smithy.

Urth Stormwind

I could use a stop at both stores. He points over to his pile of gear in between eating bites of breakfast. I am sick of carrying so much, I could use to lighten the load. He smiles and leans back in his chair. The good nights sleep has seemed to improve the mood of the soldier from Neverwinter's mood I could also lighten all of your purses if anyone would care for a game? He takes out a pack of playing cards from his pocket. Cards or chess? Who is game?

If no one wants to play he will head first to the smithy then the general store.

“Maybe on the road Urth I can teach you a few things about dragon chess. I would like to get to Greenest as quickly as possible. Remember we did kill a bandit leader and gave fake diamonds to the dragon egg merchant. I’m thinking it’s best to get on our way and travel as far as we can before sundown. I know we are on the edge of The Green Fields but how far away is Greenest?”

She will head to the armory.

This next update is going focus on all the shopping requests, here: Buying and Selling. It's not looking likely, but if I have time later tonight I will revisit this main thread and move the action along.

If not tonight, tomorrow.

Kañ-Demir is also eager to get to Greenest. "I'll collect some provisions for the road. Shall I get enough for the whole company?"

About how long should they expect the trip to Greenest to take?

If collecting rations for the whole crew, he'll also look for a donkey or pony to carry them. If he sees any poor or needy along the way, he will give generously, but not so generously as to impede his progress to Greenest.

Depending, it should take you roughly a day to Greenest. Estimate your arrival around nightfall.

If you're looking to purchase a donkey/mule/pony in Breburh, while shopping and before setting out, please add this request in the Buying and Selling topic (that's where I'm collecting all the information I'm using for the update). Actually, please add your request to purchase rations as well.


Thanks!

Leaving Breburh
After the group concludes their shopping trip, they reconvene back at the Topaz Dagger to collect the rest of their possessions before setting out for Greenest. Merey slips each member of the group a loaf of freshly baked bread for their journey. "Actually, hold on one sec -- " she says, dashing off into the kitchen and returning with a large rolled up sheet of dried parchment. "Here," she says, unfurling the parchment to reveal a scarcely detailed regional map:
Breburh to Greenest.jpg
Breburh to Greenest.jpg (38.45 KiB) Viewed 1069 times
"Just head due north," she starts, tracing her finger from an 'x' drawn just north of a range of mountains. "Once you hit the Uldoon Trail, head east -- it passes directly through Greenest."

"It's about a half day journey, so, leaving now, you should probably expect to arrive right around sunset."




Merey and Madame Kathil thank you for your patronage, and welcome you back any time.


A few minutes before half-past eight in the morning, you begin your journey.

Okay, this is more a set up than an actual action post. We'll get you guys moving here soon! Also, Ed, you still need to pick your two ranger spells which you gained at 2nd level.

      Features:
      • Feline Agility: 1
        • When you move on your turn in combat, you can double your speed until the end of the turn.
        • Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you move 0 feet on one of your turns.
      • Cat’s Claws:
        • Because of your claws, you have a climbing speed of 20 feet.
        • In addition, your claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes.
          • If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
      • 1st: Expertise (Perception, Stealth)
        • Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
      • 1st: Sneak Attack (1d6)
        • Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon.
        • You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
      • 1st: Thieves’ Cant
        • During your rogue training you learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation.
        • Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages.
        • It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
        • In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.
      • 2nd: Cunning Action
        • You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

      Background: Far Traveler
      • Feature: Optional Feature: Dragon Scholar
        • You have studied dragons and their lore for many years. You can automatically identify locations built or used by dragons and can identify dragon eggs and scales by sight. If you fail an Intelligence check to recall lore relating to dragons, you know someone or some book you can consult for the answer unless the DM rules that the lore is unknown.
          • Note: This has been modified to limit this study and familiarity to just metallic dragons, not those of the chromatic variety.

        • Soldiers loyal to your former military organization still recognize your authority and influence, and they defer to you if they are of a lower rank.
        • You can invoke your rank to exert influence over other soldiers and requisition simple equipment or horses for temporary use.
        • You can also usually gain access to friendly military encampments and fortresses where your rank is recognized.

        • As well respected as clan crafters are among outsiders, no one esteems them quite so highly as dwarves do. You always have free room and board in any place where shield dwarves or gold dwarves dwell, and the individuals in such a settlement might vie among themselves to determine who can offer you (and possibly your compatriots) the finest accommodations and assistance.

          • You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons.
          • You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.
          • When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.

        • 9th: --
      • 3rd: --
      Background: Far Traveler (Dwarf)
      • Feature: All Eyes on You
        • Your accent, mannerisms, figures of speech, and perhaps even your appearance all mark you as foreign. Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.

          You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and people.

For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

Grimbul "Thank ya for the map this'll come in handy." the dwarf ranger thanks as he checks his pack and makes sure his stuff is secure before setting out with the others. The dwarf tries to take in the map so that he has it memorized as best he can.
