This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Alric turns to Caden "Indeed a break would be good. I say we find out what we can around town but Plan to head out in the morning."

He bends over slightly and takes a few deep breaths then stretches backwards working out kinks in his muscles.

OOC - I am trying to Second wind 6 +1 for 7 hpts recovered. Forgot I could, new game and all :O

"I'm not a tactical genius by any means but seems kinda dum to wander into a graveyard at night."

OOC - gonna skip the healers kit as long as Alric knows there is more than one in the party and where they are he is good.Just in case of emergencies :)

OOC: Not completely certain but I think Second Wind is a combat only thing? Or it just may be a suggested houserule most old school types are using. Meh, you're not trying to go against RAI IMO so who cares? Unless Opa says differently of course.:)

And heck yes it's dumb to go graveyard hunting in the middle of the night with no information and the fighters not at full strength if we have that option!
Don\'t mess with cats we kill wizards in one blow.;)

Karni concurs with the general consensus of not heading right to the graveyard, plus she will mention going to see the elders as well as finding quarters for the night, temple if possible, or if not, an inn. Plus if anyone of our party is in dire need of healing, she can help, because tomorrow, she will be rested up and the slot restored.

OOC: Second Wind is an anytime thing that goes at the speed of a Bonus Action. You just need a Short Rest (minimum 1 hour) to recharge it. Note the lack of "in combat" wording, which instead is present in Cunning Action. Also note that Action Surge lacks similar wording, which will make 2nd lvl exploration heroics (Athletics, Acrobatics, etc.) quite interesting.

We have a party of 3 fighters, 1 cleric, and 1 wizard. You will be a thoroughly resilient party. I believe in you.
;)

Notes:
~ Hanalee, part of your lunch is hastily wrapped up in a sack inside your pack. Bright Feather was also kind enough to have the rest waiting for you in one of Geraldine's ovens.
~ Alric, hopefully Mal is happily chilling at Geraldine's
~ You are downtown and surrounded by taverns, nice and shady dives and holes in the wall. :)
~OMG, Sharknado 2: The Second One is on! I gotta go see it!

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Okay I will just move through the various dives, Saloons and such after I check on Mal.

     Alric Is not trying to be sneaky about asking questions, Maybe someone will hear about him and come to him. I will spend a gold piece or two (spread among many places) buying drinks if somone seems to know something useful but try not to let it be known I am doing so for info, In this town I'll end up with a line of informational donators looking for a beer. I do it more to butter up someone than a trade of info for liqour.


OOC - I don't see Second winding out of combat as going against RAI. It is pretty much the same as using Hit dice to recover during  a short rest when used outside combat. Just balanced against that is it is less Hpts but a Bonus action.  And thematically it works to me just like taking a short rest would just fighters can rest more efficiently! :)

OOC: You never used any spell slots.:)

Bright Feather will be with Karni. Talking with the elders interests her.

"Well...if you all want to wait to see the graveyard, I'll go along with that," Hanalee sighs to the others, still hyped up from the battle and seeking some thrills. "The new graves are on the way, should we check on them quickly as we pass?"

Hanalee then returns to Geraldine's to finish her delicious dinner, massaging her bruised cheek as she chews slowly.

She asks around about lodging--she can probably crash on a friend's couch, maybe Georgette or Grath. Can she find some low-priced lodgings for the rest of the party, preferrably using some sort of discount?

OOC: I meant if anyone needed immediate attention, I can cast cure wounds on them.

If nobody else wants to go to see the Elders, Karni will ask Bright Feather to come along, and say to the others, such as Hanalee, that she will meet them back at Geraldine's. Then she will go seek out the Elders.

OOC: psst, Hanalee! Alric wants to hit the dive bars for info after checking up on his doggie at Geraldine's. Also, Caden has not decided where to go yet, so maybe if you suggest a productive afternoon downtown...
:D

Hanalee shares some of her food with Alric's pooch, Mal. "Good doggie!" she coos.

"If you're heading out to the dives, I'll back you up!" she tells Alric.

"Mal! quit begging off others. I gave ya plenty to eat earlier." Alric smiles good naturely at Hana. "He'll eat ya out of house and home and forest" He grins at his own joke. " But a loyal friend he is, but being pot belled wouldn't suit his line of work."

"I'm sure Caden will join us " Alric looks hopefully at Caden. "I would welcome the company as we let them with book learnins seek out what they can find their way" Nodding his head to Bright and Karnie.

Since Mal seems fine.

OOC- If I need to stable him I will. I assume he can operate mostly on his own like any Dog. Not like a horse he probably won't waonder off or let anyone "Mug" him. If neded I can just lead him around from place to place.

 Alric, Hana and Caden (if he is willing) can work their way around the town trying to learn anything new.

Caden nods at Alric and Hanalee, "Works for me, I'll follow and we can see what we gather turning a few stones."

If the opportunity presents itself, Karni will tell what Preacher Sometimes said about the old graveyard:

"As for the old graveyard, I really don't visit there as the new graveyard's burials takes up so much of my strength. Every major holiday I make a trip with my resident sister in faith to do a rite. She's a marvel. Even goes almost monthly to light a candle for the dead at the graveyards.

"She has not said she has seen anything there. But from hearing the stories she says she does not think it is malicious, more like a guardian if anything at all. But the old graveyard is, though well out of town, along the way to many claims up the mountain. Wouldn't be surprised a few midnight drunks were spooked by animal eyes in the dark, but we sent out the call to investigate anyway."



Plus about the Elders:

"The Elder's Place is across the street, quite close. They handle incoming and outgoing messages, hold records, and reserve wealth. But it just looks like a bunch of old men sitting around smoking surrounded by young men serving their unspoken whims. Efficient, but admittedly a touch spooky."

Bright Feather will ask about the Guardian of the graveyard on the way to the Elders.....the Elders? Heh, let's just see what Sister Joyous says first (the elders intrigue her).

Karni says, "Yes, I heard voices saying we should go see the Elders, voices at the well. Asking Sister Joyous sounds good, too."
