If any of you'd like to roll a perception or insight check go ahead.

@Lurking Krog

Wisdom(Perception) = 1d20+6=26

Managed to score a nat 20! What sorts of sights does Kythor behold with his 26?

The tracks at first look humanoid but with closer inspection they appear to be clawed feet with a small tail in the trail behind them. Kythor would more than likely know these are probably some of the kobolds that inhabit Icewind Dale.

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.

I had to double check that. I didn't think encumbrance was that rough... then again it may be why I have never considered using it.

@Lurking Krog

Kythor's going to try to make an Insight check to determine if these kobolds genuinely are looking to find a better life within a settlement, or if they might be perhaps heading there for more nefarious intentions. With all that's been happening around Easthaven, he figures it might not be a bad idea to vet these kobolds before sending them on their way.

Wisdom(Insight) = 1d20+4=22

Edit: Also, welcome to the group @Sparrowhawk! Looks like our group's going to be getting a sorcerer in their ranks once everybody's able to meet up!

Thanks, @The Large Dumbo, I'm pretty excited to get started. It's been too long since I had a chance to play a sorcerer.

They are being honest with you.

Alright first quest is wrapping up. New players will be able to join in now, though the three that have returned to Good Mead will need to see Dannika Greysteel for their reward.

Cool! I'll try to see about getting a post either tonight or tomorrow afternoon.

Hi, I'm afraid I'll need to back out as well, but hopefully this is an okay time to do so, not exactly right in the middle of things here, and it seems like some other characters have showed up? Anyway, sorry, and best of luck going forward.

Thanks for letting me know. If ever you can come back please do. Best to you.

Oof, looks like we're down another member of the group. Sorry to see you go @Alarielle.

But hey, on the bright side, we've got two more people joining us - @Quinnspired's cleric and @Aalakrys's bard! Can't wait to see how everybody's PCs come together once we're all properly introduced in-character!

@The Large Dumbo you now have a Charm of the Traveler's Haven. It has three charges, no recharges and does not expire till the last charge it used. You can expend a charge and cast Leomund's tiny hut with not components required. There is also 26gp left for you and @Chro2

@Sparrowhawk@Quinnspired@Aalakrys
Now is a good time for the newer members to introduce themselves to the game, and probably the remaining party members.

Alrighty, I'll work up a post and put it in sometime tonight, tomorrow latest. :D

EDIT: okie, got a intro post up. I hope it's okay?

I figured Kythor isn't showing his features so I left him described as a human.

I'm not sure how much of Kythor is showing to identify as a tiefling when Rinx gets closer, so I left it open. It wouldn't really phase him anyway - not a tiefling. xD

Sorry for going AWOL for a couple of days, mostly been struggling with writer's block across the board and some other stuff on the side but I figured I'd go ahead and force myself to get a post up, even if it is just a liiiittle late where I'm at especially after I accidentally erased half of it going back to a previous page to check something. Hopefully that explains away any sort of oddities or missing words or anything of the like in the latter half of my post, I might skim through it again tomorrow to clean it up some if needed. Either way, again, sorry for taking so long to get a post up. I should be getting back into the groove of things pretty soon, definitely going to make a good effort to ensure that I'm not suddenly absent for another three or four days out of nowhere.

Also to give a quick answer to how obvious some of Kythor's tiefling traits are, basically the most evident thing about him is how oddly pale his skin is, but given that most of his skin's covered due to his clothing and equipment that part probably isn't super obvious, especially from afar. His red eyes are definitely also an oddity that he has, as well as a set of standard-fare goat horns that he usually conceals with a hood, which he isn't wearing at the moment, although I imagine that depending on which way he's looking it might be easy to not immediately notice the horns - his hair's decently long and unkempt, so I don't think it'd be impossible for them to obscure his horns at certain angles. As for his tail, he usually prefers to keep that hidden beneath his cloak and doesn't make a huge show of it in town, but if you were actively searching for it you'd probably be able to see the point of it. I figure it might be a bit late now for me to sort of outline how I imagine Kythor's presenting himself, but I also figured I'd go ahead and share how I'm imagining it right now.

@The Large Dumbo

It's all good, been dealing with thT a bit myself. It also looks like three of our other players are busy since they haven't been on ok awhile.

Hey, guys - my in-laws came over for a bit, then my baby was being very needy, so I wasn't able to get a post in tonight. Tomorrow though~ Love Fridays. ^^

Okay, I apologize so profusely! My last few nights have been pretty rough with my little teether. I'm working on a reply right now!

I've thought about this for a bit and ment to add it sooner. I'm going to redact the encumbrance rule and stick to normal ruling for it.
