[OOC] D&D 5e Rime of the Frostmaiden.

@Lucius Cypher

Forgot to add, while Auril is still present the land is in darkness, with only a few hours of twilight close to mid day. It's been that way for about at least a year.

Also think of Icewind Dale as being in one of the more northern parts of the world.

[Lucius Cypher]

Dope. I'll keep that in mind, good thing Domic has darkvision.

[Aalakrys]

Haha, I had time to read the dialogue real quick - he's already amusing. Head's up that my changeling might seem like an a-- a bit of a jerk for a bit in the narrative. ^^; If I have time later tonight, I'll get a reply up - if not, then tomorrow~

[Norschtalen]

If you're still accepting, I have a character ready too.

Kyra Shepard.

I have a question though, do you do Downtime and if so, what would it be like to craft a magic potion? I'm hoping to make healing potions and other useful ones for the party when we're not adventuring, but I'm not sure if that'll even be a thing.

[Lurking Krog]

@Norschtalen I am still looking for players.

I will allow down time, for crafting potions of healing is half the cost for the supplies with use of alchemist tools or herbalist kit. Crafting time I'll have to refer to the dmg for an idea of how long it should take, and I think it will also be determined by the strength of the potion.

[Norschtalen]

Okay, so what about if I have my character try to find materials herself? For example if we kill certain beasts, could I use my survival skill to harvest parts for alchemy, or use survival to forage materials in the wild?

@Norschtalen

With a survival check I would allow that for collecting needed supplies. Though keep in mind that Icewind Dale is a frozen tundra with a few mountains and woods.

I'll try to get a map posted up here that will be readily visible to everyone.

[Norschtalen]

I figured, that's why I'll mostly be relying on getting parts from monsters to make potions. Also, is my character okay?

@Norschtalen

I'm guessing you're pact weapon is the hand crossbow?

[Norschtalen]

Yup! It's a one-handed weapon, so I can make it into my pact weapon. My plan once I get to level 5 is to do smites with my crossbow.

[Lurking Krog]

Interesting, your character is good to go.

[Birdboy]

Hello friends! I believe I will be a new player in your crew! I'm very rusty with the guild but seem to be doing fine! I'm excited to meet you all and your characters!

Also: will I be allowed to start with my familiar? It's nothing particularly fancy, just a black cat.

@Birdboy

Yes you will be able to start with your familiar.

[Aalakrys]

I'm not typically a gold-caring person... but since I'm playing a greedy bard, I feel obliged to ask if his playing earns him any money while at the mead hall? Aside from the 1 silver from The Tiefling (his words, not mine).

[Lurking Krog]

You would have earned about 3 silver and 15 copper.

[Birdboy]

I didn't realize this roleplay had been going on so long! I have a lot of reading to do...

[Lurking Krog]

@Birdboy@Aalakrys@Lucius Cypher

Are any of you waiting on anything in particular for your next post?

[Birdboy]

@Lurking Krog I've been trying to read up and figure out what is going on, sorry

[Lucius Cypher]

@Lurking Krog

Mostly just waiting to see if Rinx responds, since Donny had addressed her. I'm otherwise assuming we're in conversation mode so we're not in any specific rush?

@Birdboy

I can't say I know everything that's happened either, but I can give you a summary of what I know since I joined: Currently we are in Good Mead, and tonight the Frost Maiden is coming to collect the warmth from everyone's home. Presumably this is some sort of folklore thing and the point is that a lotta people are going to be cold tonight. At the moment, all of us players are in the mead hall of Good Mead, which is basically the town's inn. Domic and Kyra are both looking to help around the village, and Kythor has offered a job for them. Rinx is also there commenting on the situation.

As far as how/why your character is there, could be that they're looking to help too, or maybe they're on the run? Maybe just exploring and need some extra dollah dollah?

[Lurking Krog]

All good just wanted to check in on yall. Lucius has a pretty good summary for all that is relevant to where we are now.
