I put in Dunn and giga's characters into the roll20.

It should be visible now. Please hit me up in sitechat at some point so that I can teach you how to roll20.

I want to talk about motivations.
Today we talked it over and Aylin is going to be the party leader.
I want Aylin to give us a motivational speech of what our group is set out to do. What is the main objective? What foes do we wish to conquer? Who are we trying to save? What are we seeking?

Firebringer basically decided Aylin is our leader.

Maybe this is a thing our characters should talk about once we start?

Ohh were you not serious when you said you wanted them as leader?

Okay maybe I am getting ahead of myself.

I mean, I support it.
But the campaign hasn't even started. Maybe someone won't like Half-orcs. Maybe someone won't care for the ex-con. Maybe someone will chain roll some NAT 1s and we'll wonder why we brough t them along.

Who knows what'll happen when we put on the boots?

Would FakeGod allow proxy actions, namely for fighting? I mean we couldn't know how to interact with stuff for you but could you still fight in any confrontations we find ourselves in?

I mean we can surmise that if someone insults you for your orc blood you'd punch them in the face but beyond that would combat be ok?
If I were MIA for a week I'd let someone proxy fight for me. If that's a thing.

Did you finalize buying the cart?
Can anyone just dump stuff in it? Because I'll totally load up on more torches if I can just drop my pack in the cart and not carry it for awhile or just drop my stack of torches.

Also sometime during the mid-morning hours Firebringer wanted to discuss battle strategy and/or marching order.
Add that to our TO DO list as well.

In all honesty I think it would provide a good amount of utility for the group if we're going to be above-ground for awhile.
We can carry more crap on the cart and/or transport injured/captured people on it.

I mean it costs a fair bit and I can't really contribute to it but I would spend all my coppers on torches (and extra food?) if I knew I could dump them on the cart. My issue is I can't carry anything else at the moment and you've got my bedroll so.

I'm open to discussion.

No proxied actions for PCs whose players are not here.

I suppose you could try to make the sessions next week, giga.

It's -only- 15 gold which seems pretty cheap to me

And we can let the gnomes ride in it

I can contribute 5-7 gold to it (or sell stuff)

Well it was worth asking. Thanks FG.

I currently have six gold and imagine I'll want all of it for stuff.
I'll go dive into the CS's and see if anyone has a fortune lying around.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS
re: Attacks of Opportunity

Image

Here is a nice diagram from the WOTC's official website explaining how attacks of opportunity work.

Moving from one threatened square to another (square A to B, or B to E in the diagram)
will
provoke an attack, and therefore, trying to circle around enemies will usually provoke an attack.

I recommend tumble (it's a tumble check vs DC 15) which lets you move at half-speed through threatened squares without provoking attacks.

ALSO FLANKING RULES
