Since its focused on Jitter and Kendra I guess Theodorick is just gonna watch over the area. He can't really do much other than use force because the other two are better communicators than he is and he doesn't wanna do that yet. Don't really wanna write up a post for Theodorick just kinda vibing unless he sees anything of importance.

Seeing as no one else has anything to add I'll get a post up soonish.

That's cool , i think Jitter just made a new friend :)

Pretty much. As long as it doesn't feel threatened by the party it will stick around for a bit.

@Lurking Krog

Kythor's a bit interested in finding out where these chwingas are headed, and he's not too sure of how to ask the chwinga given how difficult communication has been so far. If he's able to, he wants to start trying to track them to find out where they're headed.

Wisdom(Survival) Check = 1d20+6=18

I made this as a Survival check since I thought that was the appropriate type of check to make, but let me know if it isn't. Also, I'm pretty sure my Natural Explorer ability applies to this check (double proficiency bonus when making a Wisdom or Intelligence check that I have proficiency in while in favored terrain), but I wasn't too sure. I didn't know if we were maybe too close to town for it to be really considered within my character's favored terrain? If it does apply, that should bump up the roll to a 20 due to receiving a +2 bonus.

On a side note, it really bugs me that rangers don't have the option to pick any kind of urban setting as their favored terrain. I've had a few ideas for characters that would make for neat city-dwelling bounty hunter rangers who use their abilities to track down their targets, but RAW it doesn't really seem like that's a workable option for a ranger. I guess you could just go ahead and homebrew in a city environment, but it still really annoys me that it's not part of the base ranger's options.

For this roll the extra two won't matter. You can see that they are heading into the woods. After a few minutes they disappear into a nearby rock.

In regards to an urban ranger, I think it could be plausible with the urchin background which allows them to more quickly move through the city. Also depending on the setting in sure a DM would allow it.

Yeah, I feel like asking to make a ranger whose favored 'terrain' is the city isn't too big of an ask from most DMs, but really at the end of the day it's a case-by-case basis I guess. It seems like that kind of stuff's sort of out of the 'scope' of what the image of a ranger might be to some people, which is totally fair. I'm probably just the weird one - I do kind of like to stretch the flavor of a class outside of its normal sort of 'archetype' sometimes, for a lack of a better word. For example, one character I kicked around in theorycrafting was a Way of the Astral Self Monk who instead of creating astral limbs had his body undergo controlled metamorphosis that granted him the same benefits. Is he still really a monk of the Way of the Astral Self at that point? Probably not in terms of flavor, but mechanically he still follows all of the rules of the subclass.

Of course, that doesn't mean that he's necessarily appropriate for just any old campaign, just like how not every DM might want to allow players to make an urban-style ranger. That's why I personally always think it's important to ask permission from the DM before doing anything that steps out of RAW or trying out something unusual, like a ranger who prefers the dark alleys of the city to the green canopies and untamed wilderness of the forest. Just because I might be okay with somebody joining a group I was DMing with an urban ranger doesn't immediately mean that everyone else is going to be, you know?

Anyways, late night stream of consciousness rambling aside, I figured I'd go ahead and mention before I hop off tonight that I probably won't be active much tomorrow, or if I am it'll be much later in the day.

It wont be threatened by Jitter or sold for experimentation if Jitter isn't convinced by employer that it wont be harmed in any sort of way.

It'll probably be fine I don't think that the scientist homie has ill intent.

Not sure if we're waiting for a post from me or not, Kendra will follow Kythor to wherever she needs to go.

Ok, I'll get a post up as soon as I can.

@Lurking Krog
Unfortunately some things have happen irl, and i will be taking a long hiatus from this site, feel free to use Jitter as NPC.
Im sorry and i hope to be back soon.

Thank you for the heads up. I'll keep Jitter with the party until they get back to Good Mead. From there when you get back if you would like to rejoin we'll figure something out.

I hope to see you return as soon as you can.

I do apologize for the delays in my posting. The past couple of days have been busy/ stressful.

I figure we are ready to move on here soon. Are you all wanting to go back to Good Mead or are you wanting to go somewhere else?

I am also going to open this up for another player since Heavy Metal had to drop out. I did have someone ask a few weeks back about joining so I will wait a few days to see if they will want to join.

Sorry to see that you're leaving us for the time being. Hope you're able to come back soon!

If it's any consolation these past two days have been a bit stressful on my end too, no worries. Life comes before D&D after all! Since they can't find where the chwingas ran off too, Kythor's ready to return to Good Mead to claim their bounty if everyone else is.

Yeah, I'm fine with that too, also gotten more busy here as classes have started back up.

Yep, Theodorick is ready as well. Hope everything works out btw HEAVY METAL.

Having not heard back yet from the other interested individual, I am going to open this up to others who are interested. I will also take another player as well to bring the party to a total of five.

All new additions will be able to join once the party reaches Good Mead.

I had forgotten this and it had been brought to my attention in form of question. We are using encumbrance rules.

Yeouch! Looks like Kythor's gonna have to find someplace to dump his stuff - guy's lugging around 136 pounds of stuff. Even if he dumps his backpack in battle, he's still gonna be down 10 feet movespeed.
