So there wasn't any combat today. Lots of roleplaying, though. And now the world seems more open!
Current quests:
Kenku problem: solved? Left to the guards, at any rate.
Find the desert city
Obtain the Eternium
Bring back a purple-and-pink-flowered cactus
generally make maps/sketches and bring back information about the eastern parts of the continent
Paths East:
through the goblin woods (might have a road? Somewhere? According to passing-out-drunk-man)
through the southern swamps
through the tunnel near the kobold cave
something involving one of the rivers, apparently
Everyone in the group received:
-a set of desert clothing
-a wooden miniature of yourself (if desired)
-an endless supply of meta-paper; you can make all the sketches and notes and maps you want, without worrying about encumbrance or volume or such natter
The group as a whole received:
-a stasis bag (can't see into it, holds everything in it in stasis, weighs 2 lbs regardless of contents, can hold up to 8 cubic feet of stuff)
-a modified Find City gem (range 50 miles, gives direction and distance (to the nearest 10 mi), once per 3 days)
-a geography textbook (allows untrained Knowledge:Geography checks, gives those with ranks in the skill a +2 bonus)
Journals... 100 exp per level... yeah.
Also, those who were present received 150 coins and 200 exp, except Maelrigar who get 250 coins and 250 exp.
Maelrigar also used (almost) all of the group's collective money to buy himself some bitchin' tank armor. Pretty damn decent stuff for a level 3 character. And you guys have a group WaCLW (wand of cure light wounds).
SECOND GAME?!?
I have been asked to host a game tomorrow, same time. If 5 players can make it and stay for the 4 hours, then we'll do it. You all have until 11:00 PM GMT to post whether you can make it, and convince me...
