Roger that, although I will say that it is Stormheart's imperative since he is invested in the particular plot line. If he wants to take the time, we will.

Awaiting a response from Stormheart before we move on. I believe Mallory has gotten to everything she wanted to at this point?

I believe so, yes.

So, to clarify the plan going ahead: we're off to Easthaven to settle Mallory's matters with laying Apple to rest, as well as seeing if her hunch about Sephek Kaltro being in the area pays off.  Otherwise, we'll potentially be picking up other adventure threads that might be in the area if we're so inclined/looking for money.

Beyond that, we'll be backtracking through Bryn Shander (or any other relevant Ten-Town) on our way to address the Whale Ferry situation.  Is that correct?

I'm too new here to have locked in an agenda.  I'm pretty sure I can schedule Tympani in with anyone's plan.

No, no, no FIRST we talk to...Helka, was it? THEN we can move on, lol.

Sorry, weekends are always iffy for me and yesterday was...a bad day. This week is rough with my dad having 2 surgeries but I'm gonna power through.

I suggest we move forward to Easthaven fairly soon, regardless of Stormheart's conversation with Helka. It can be played out concurrently, even though it means we'll have to open a new thread for the main storyline.

I'm good to go whenever.

As a matter of course - and just in case we don't get to it before we leave - Mallory will give each Party member one Potion of Healing.  Each Party member except Stormheart also gets one diamond worth 100 GP which are intended as the Cleric Tax.  If anyone goes down, they'll already have the diamond material component on their person in case Stormheart needs to Revivify.

As for transportation, Mallory will take the necessary time to ritually cast "Phantom Vehicle" for a wagon or sled - whichever best suits the road leading to Easthaven - and "Phantom Steed" so we can ride in relative comfort, unless Khulekani can supply her summoned steed for the towing instead.

I can.

Awesome, thanks.  Having two steeds would be useful in theory, but Mallory's version only lasts an hour before she has to re-cast, so it can be a little cumbersome compared to a sturdier and longer-lasting magic horse.

I have neglected Stormheart from my tradition! It has been fixed:

I'll let Mallory do a Survival on Winter Wolves in general, if that would help at all?

It was more a question of "does this creature look injured or like something is wrong with it", but if general knowledge applies, then no reason not to roll.

Astre - Survival
Mallory Bonheur rolled 5 using 1d20+1 ((4))

It occurs to me during this conversation with the wolves that Mallory is literally wearing a red riding hood.

Heh!

Easthaven thread can transition to Easthaven unless anyone has more to add to the current scene.

I've just got one last thing to toss into the Easthaven travel thread - wasn't able to post over the past two days because of work, is all.

No problem at all, only probing for engagement. I'm not in a hurry.

Leaving some room for Khulekani and Tympani to chime in, but I'll respond to Mallory's post tomorrow.

Speaking of chimes, I am also in this game again! Hi! Stormheart I briefly knew (Hello!), Tympani is a new friend (Nice to meet you!), and of course a warm greeting to my old party pals, Mallory and Khulekani.

I, for one, am very glad you chose to rejoin! To inform the rest, we'll work on getting Idri back to the part at the earliest convenience. As it currently stands, I felt the situation lent itself to a minor scene in the Host Tower.

I said previously that I would post today, but I'll leave room for a couple more days or so. That should give Tympani and Khulekani enough time to check in and catch up after the weekend.

Another update; I’m traveling to visit a dying family member, so I may be sporadically unavailable.

I'm so sorry, Bears. I hope being with family eases their pain and yours.

As ever, life and family are more important than anything.  Take all the time you need, Bears.

Oh man, Bears.  That sounds tough.  My condolences.  Take care of you and yours.

And glad to see you back, Idrianthe!
