thanks for the note, WP. I hope things work out ok for you. And thanks for the great game. It's been fun.

I guess we're seguing into OOC, but I'm in favor of Alethan's strategy if logistics allow. Hanna carries pack with essentials, battle axe on back, handaxes (for throwing) at her belt, and will wrangle critters, since it was her idea to begin with. She also asks for a volunteer to help so she can di...

chug-a-lugging the potion

healing potion (1d8=4)

that leaves Hanna's current HP at 7.

Hanna is persuaded, especially by the argument that others will be more vulnerable if she is not up to snuff in a fight.

Harold's healing potion: consumed.

OOC: should I roll for that, wp, or do you? If I do, let me know what dice.

Hanna considers the question about the healing potions. Mine is extra-healing, so we should save that for a real emergency. Heck, I'm not even sure I should use the one you have, Tubster. If I don't get hurt the next couple nights on the road, I'll at least be more functional by time we get where we...

Hanna - obviously not a light sleeper - nevertheless sleeps with her battle axe by her side and strikes at the goblin trying to do for her.

Attk: 11
Dmg: 7

attack goblin that's after me then dmg for the blow (1d20+1=11, 2d4+3=7)

OOC: assuming we're going with a 2-shift watch (dusk to midnight; midnight to dawn)? Just as a thought, perhaps Hanna and Vik should take separate watches, so that there's always a fighter type ready to go? Us fighter types will be ready to knock heads as soon as a watchperson shrieks, I'm sure. <g...

OOC: I don't assume Cil is automatically the Payment Man for everything, but in this instance if he wants to give Hanna some dough back towards her expenses, she wouldn't say no.... and in this regard Hanna has a thought: Speaking of magical coin purses: does this mean you're rich? You're our mage ...

Hanna will cover the cost of the critters.

(ooc: taking 21gp from balance on char sheet)

She doesn't have anything else she wants to do around town. She wants to get down the road and find some beast fur! Though hopefully without the beast still attached...

Just one thing I want to make sure we take with us, says Hanna. Let's bring a few goats or sheep. The last time Johansen saw the beast, it was making off with someone's horse for lunch. So, if we can't find its spoor in the woods, I figure we can maybe lure it with some four-footed snacks. It'd rat...

We came to terms with an old hunter/tracker named Johansen, says Hanna. He's run into a displacer beast in the wilderness before, and is willing to take us back to that area. We shouldn't have to worry about trying to kill it - - the plan is to find its spoor and hopefully locate some fur where it'...

Well, that's very generous of you, Cil, and I won't argue with your logic. This time, anyway.
I'm still buying you a beer, though.

Sounds like a good idea, Cil. To Johansen Hanna says We'll be back. See you soon! On the way to the pub she tells Cil, That was generous of you, paying Johansen's retainer yourself. When we're all together I'll ask the guys to chip in on the cost. We should all share it. But thanks for having deep ...

I think we should meet with our friends first and discuss that. Better to have more of us, than fewer, I think. I also want to plan this excursion, not just go for a stroll and hope we find what we're looking for, and that's better discussed in a group. Besides, I'm wondering what progress they're ...

I agree, says Hanna. Mr. Johansen, what will it take to retain your services as guide?

If you don't mind I'll take that last as an aside and let Hanna reply Hanna leans to hear Cil's whispered comment, and says under her breath, We sure don't need to get ourselves killed chasing a monster that outmatches us. But if all we need's a hair.... She turns back to Johansen. Actually, all we...

Hanna makes introductions, says they'd like to talk to him, and offers to help him unload his wood and deal with their draft horses before inviting him to a pint of beer on her. She's not obligating Cillian to take on any heavy lifting, but she's sturdy enough to do a respectable job helping the woo...

Is he out doing tree cutting right now? If so, Hanna asks where he's to be found, and heads out there (with Cil, of course).
