I’ll track Dagmar and other Henchmen initially, at least until they’re solid members of the party.
Starting funds can’t actually be “pooled,” but the purchase can be made now, in-game. Castle Blackmarsh is a large town of a little more than 6,000 people, but is a trade hub, and the preeminent settlement in the region.
ok, then seeing dagmar so poorly equiped ill offer 10 gp to improve the meatshield´s shieldiness.
Allow me to clarify: before starting, any and all purchases were possible, but only by each Character with their own starting gold. Now that we’ve begun, you can all combine your funds, if you wish, but any purchases will be subject to Market Class availability, or any other limits derived in-game.
Had some weird problems posting with a roll this morning, and the post showed up four or five times (with multiple rolls). I’m going to do some experimentation to see I that was a one-off, or a consistent problem…
I follow the principle but am now confused by the upshot. Can I get Dagmar to chain armor after hiring and before departure, or are we at leather and hoping to find a shield for sale?
I believe this is the relevant post. The question is, can you afford to buy chain? Assuming this is a Class IV market there should be one suit available.
Correct. If you have the money now (or can cajole the party into chipping in), we can assume you bought a suit of chain armour before leaving Castle Blackmarsh.
The difference before play began? You could buy anything, ignoring Market Class and availability, but could only use your Character’s money.
Then we’re at chain, spear and sling.
Understood.
Just returned from my overseas adventure. Should be able to keep up until my next trip in September.
We’re just about to really get rolling. I’m actually traveling today, so I won’t be posting until later tonight.
Another quick point: Don’t be afraid to split the party (I know, I know… Rule #1: don’t split the party; Rule #2: DON’T SPLIT THE PARTY!). It’s a large party, and, at least in non-dungeon situations, splitting is perfectly viable, and can allow more to be accomplished in a PbB.

I say we take off and nuke the boat from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
[quote="Alex"] Aria Danae Aria tries to read the strange script engraved on Kaul's crossbow, too. Noticing that he seems to be listening, she attempts a Hear Noise check to see if he has text-to-speech installed. [/quote] Did you just insult a non-native English speaker and the handicapped in the same post? Bravo, good sir, bravo! Regardless, it's much too dark to read his crossbow from where Aria is standing.
However, you can hear him mumbling something as he examines it, "This--end--towards--enemy..."
Its good to see that the crossbow manufacturers take into consideration the needs of the blind crossbowmen.
As there’ve been no further posts, I’m going to assume the party beds down for the night, then heads into town in the morning, barring any nighttime calamity. I’ll also assume 4 night watches based on marching order ranks, with Aria and Gwydion going last before the dawn, and the front rank of Hengist and Miska taking the witching hour. You might want to set up an SOP for camping in the wilderness…
Oh, and thirdkingdom’s post in the SOP thread hasn’t been updated with Dagmar.
That’s because a consensus was never reached. There were two options proposed – post 39 and 42 – but not enough people weighed in vote one way or the other.
I thought 42 had more, and more recent, input - Lucas putting his dog in rear rank, getting Andrew the healer out of rearguard. Mason could certainly veto if he feels he’s being voluntold for rearguard, otherwise I see no reason to wait for everyone to vote to adopt the latest version.
I’d really like to hear from everybody before I continue. Clearly, things are about to get a bit more involved, so if you can please try and hit the 1 post per day target. I’ll move things forward sometime tomorrow morning.
Can I still see the party, but not who they’re talking to, or can I see no one?
Should be clear from the image I just posted.
EDIT: but just in case, you can only see the party.
