>>22056811
I woke up IRL.

Gimme a bit of time to get dressed and make food.

>>22059032
Right, let's roll.

File: 1355611556888.png-(940 KB, 1275x1578, D&D Lost City Tier 4 Map.png)

>>22059121
Alrighty, I'm ready to run the game.
So, down to the fourth level, or do you want to try somewhere else?

>>22059186
Lol.
Let's try something a little less suicidal, k?
I ask around in town for news on local banditry, movements of entities hostile to the town, or for hints to the local thieves' den.
If I'm able to find the thieves' den, I ask if they know of places with tons of valuables, but where people won't be angry at me if the former owner turns up dead.

>>22059239
There aren't many obvious hostile groups around, apart from a few bandit camp in the woodlands east and the mountain passes north. Of course, in the mountains are also many monsters, such as ogres, rocs, and gryphons.

As an investor in the Honey Pot, you've heard that the Neanderthals have been talking about a "demon boar" they want killed

It's possible that some of the buildings in Gondolin or Cynidicea may still contain valuables, too.

>>22059358
Hmm.
Bandit camps seem doable.
Rocs and Griffons are doable if taken alone.
Ogres probably doable if in a small enough group.
I'd ask the Neanderthals where the Demon boar was seen and what it was seen doing, also why they are angry at it.

I'd say Hit up the woodlands bandit camp first. See where things go from there.
I hope Bacon and Beef can track.

>>22059448
The neanderthals say that this boar is bigger than most, and is vicious. It charges men without provocation, to eat them or for the joy of killing.

Being in woodland, you have a 9 in 10 chance of successfully hiding.

Doing a little investigation you think you've got the location of a small bandit camp worked out. The dogs seem to perk up as you approach, and you spot the smoke of a campfire rising above the treeline

Rolled 4

>>22059496
Go in alone and stealthy to check out the campfire.
Keep the retainers in the woods.
This might not necessarily be bandits, it could just be some dudes.

>>22059552
There are about eight men in the camp. Seven are armed with spears, bows, and hatchets, and the eighth is blindfolded and has his hads tied. There is a plain wooden chest in the camp, with a guard dog leashed to a stake nearby

>>22059590
I'd say that's bandits.

Go back, get my retainers, move forward as silently as 3 dudes in plate can manage.

>>22059613
That's not especially quiet. You hear one man says he hears people coming, and they sound like they're preparing for a fight

Rolled 5

>>22059663
Initiative!

Rolled 3

>>22059680
And for the bandits

>>22059691
Party goes first

Rolled 5, 8, 3, 5, 13 = 34

>>22059713
Open with 3 flying oilpots, aimed at any groups of dudes other than Mr. Hostage.
Bacon and Beef will intercept any hatchetmen on the way to us.

Rolled 2

>>22059749
Good grief. Uh ... here's 1d6 from beef.
Are you sure the party won initiative?

Rolled 11, 8, 10, 17 = 46

>>22059760
Three bowmen fire arrows at you, and the bandit attacked by Beef takes a swing at him

Rolled 1

>>22059788
a hit on Beef

>>22059788
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Smash.
Beef takes a hit.

Rolled 9, 3, 1, 12, 17 = 42

>>22059788
Right. Time to remove 3 oilpots from the inventory and try operation: Burning Angel again.
Dogs acting as melee guards.

Rolled 3

>>22059827
>>22059805
Hopefully 13 is enough for a hit on something. What's the to-hit on the bandits?

Rolled 5, 3 = 8

>>22059836
>>22059827
And two dogs chewing on whoever managed to reach melee.

>>22059827
It only takes a 12 to hit
And you're starting a forest fire, you lunatic

Rolled 14, 12, 11, 14, 10, 18 = 79

>>22059847
The hounds manage to take down a bandit. Three of them are firing at you, while the others are trying to get past the dogs

>>22059849
Don't worry, it'll spread to the bandits before it spreads to me.

Rolled 3, 2 = 5

>>22059874
And each of your dogs is hit

Rolled 12, 17, 7, 17, 8 = 61

>>22059874
>>22059880
Me, Philgo: Flying oil (me at +4 to hit, Phil at -1). Urist, Bacon, Beef: Melee. all these at +1 to hit.

Rolled 5, 4 = 9

>>22059909
Finally, some good hits in with the burning oil.

Rolled 6

>>22059909
>>22059919
Bacon: Saving the group's ... pork.

Rolled 5, 6 = 11

>>22059919
Two bandits die in flames
Rolling for initiative

Rolled 1

>>22059933
Eh? Okay.

Rolled 4, 6 = 10

>>22059933
The remaining bandits flee. The tied up man is screaming "Help! Help! There's a fire, untie me!" and their guard dog is whimpering and clearly terrified

15 XP, and 7 each for retainers

>>22059933
>>22059943
I guess I got my ass surprise rounded.

>>22059933
Bah, I meant morale

>>22059948
Untie tied up man
Untie Mutton.
If the bandits named their dog something other than Mutton, then too bad.

Check the bandit's stuff for flammable loot (paper, leather) and grab it. If there's any chests, Urist can crowbar to force 'em.

>>22059978
There are a few sacks of coins inside the chest. As you free the dog, he runs off into the forest.

Counting the treasure, you find only 80gp worth, mostly in silvers and copper pieces. The man claims to be the son of a wealthy Mistamere merchant, and says his father should offer a reward for his safe return

>>22060033
That's 40gp for me, 20gp for each retainer.
Right, time to get Mr. Moneybags back to Misty.

>>22060048
You make your way back without incident. The young man's father is happy to see him returned safely, and rewards you with 100gp

>>22060080
50gp for me, 25gp for each of my retainers. Cool.

I expect my retainers will buy a honey pot each for themselves at 200gp.
I'll spend that gp on replacing everyone's oil pots and torches.

How much would it cost to ask a local town healer for a heal?

>>22060111
Probably around 100gp or so

>>22060143
Bah. Too expensive.

Hey Ragnar, wanna join up for some Mountain bandit hunting?

>>22060159
I'd be up for that. I could use the exercise.

>>22060173
>>22060159
>>22060143
For the next addition to the Honeypot, I want to start up a Jobs board, News stand, and meeting spot for adventurers.
The rules are that it has to be something that won't piss off Mistamere local authorities, and it doesn't involve killing innocents. Other than that, post jobs for adventurers to get workin' on.
I figure that'll bring more people to the tavern for more gp, and it'll also give the PCs jobs.

How much gp to get something like that set up?

>>22060173
So, no Devil Boar or Ghoul Temple adventure? Aw.

>>22060220
DM, you have to admit a devil boar has a higher risk-to-reward ratio than a bandit camp.
As far as I know, Boars don't keep valuables.

>>22060213
This sounds like a wonderful idea. It could really help to reduce crime and centralize information for aspiring adventurers.

>>22060220
Keeping that in mind. I'm thinking I'd like a nice boarskin-helm. Less so than a bearskin helm, but... eh, its a devil-boar. I'm guessing it stole someone's wife?

>>22060213
That wouldn't cost a lot of money. More just convincing people to start doing so if they want to get the attention of the party.

Right now the tavern's profits are limited by its small size. Building additional expansions, such as more floorspace or some rooms to rent, would increase the money it makes.

>>22060237
They have delicious bacon...

>>22060299
>More just convincing people to start doing so if they want to get the attention of the party.
So the best way to get it done would be to suggest "putting up broadsheets at the Honey Pot to ensure the job gets done" to each commissioner after accomplishing a mission.

>>22060299
Fine. We'll deal with the Boar right after we've dealt with mountain bandits.

Grumblegrumble DMs grumblegrumble.

Still, I'm going to start a 1000gp fund to hire a Crier to advertise in town, and an additional 200gp for news/jobs boards.
The Crier's job will include keeping the boards synched.
One each in the Honeypot, and One each in Mistamere with Honeypot advertisements.

That's a 1200g in total. Sound reasonable for something like that?

>>22060368
That's far more than would be expected. A cryer would cost about 10gp a month, and setting up a wood board/blackboard would only cost about 20gp at most.

>>22060409
80gp for 4 boards, and 20gp initial pay for the crier.
Presumably the crier can deal enough advertisement to pay for himself. If he can't, then tell me and I'll dump more gold.

Dumping 100gp from myself to complete this stage of the project.

Now, let's hunt some mountain bandits.

>>22060436
Drogo and Ragnar head up into the mountains. It's getting late in the afternoon as you arrive, and the passes and valleys are shrouded in shadow as you pass through them. The dogs seem to be a bit anxious, and you think you see some figures watching you from behind some rocks

Rolled 2

>>22060506
I'll check the rocks personally. The rest of the party should watch the other directions in case the rocks are a trap.

>>22060522
Approaching, Drogo sees that the figures are eight orcs, each armed with several spears and a club.

Rolled 1

>>22060560
I head back to the party, tell them to keep moving along the pass as if nothing happened ... and prepare an ambush for these orcs. Ideally with lots of burning oil.

I throw a javelin to catch the orcs' attention then start hauling ass back to the party.

>>22060522
Well damn. I'm assuming I was further up the path and didn't notice them?

>>22060599
Broke my javelin. ><

>>22060604
The orcs? No, but hopefully you noticed me telling you to prepare an ambush for orcs.

Rolled 2

>>22060604
With a javelin thrown, the orcs shout a warcry and prepare to attack

Rolled 5

>>22060623
Yeah, I'm assuming I noticed you coming back to the group and breaking your javelin. Tsk tsk. It was a nice javelin, too, my man.

>>22060638
Split your lungs with blood and thunder!

Rolled 5

>>22060638
"GOOD LUCK I'M BEHIND 6 FAE"

>>22060648
Party goes first

Rolled 11, 13, 6, 11, 3 = 44

>>22060670
What hits an orc?

I assume the first shot is at range, so here's 3 burning oil pots from my 3 retainers. The dogs ... is anything close enough for them to bite yet?

Rolled 7 + 3

>>22060638
Jorah Mormonting up to the nearest orc and taking the halberd to that barbarian.

>>22060689

Swing and a miss!

Rolled 6

Looks like I introduced an orc to burning oil.
God bless +3 dex mod and +1 halfling mod.

Rolled 11, 13, 16, 16, 4, 3, 12, 18 = 93

The orcs hurl their spearss at the party, while the one engaged with Ragnar uses his to stab at him

Platemail be my savior!

Rolled 3, 2 = 5

>>22060736
Ah, ignore that 18 at the end, Drogo killed one orc.

But Philgo and Urist are both hit

Rolled 9, 8, 11, 20, 11 = 59

>>22060761
Philgo, you're on "hang back and dispense oil" duty.
Urist, join Ragnar in GLORIOUS COMBAT.

I'll try to join up with my Dogs and see if I can taunt the Orcs to aim at me rather than my Dogs.

Any orcs still in the back to be oiled up?
Here's 5d20 from me. 2 oil from me and philgo, Urist swinging his axe, then 2doglol.

Rolled 18 + 3

Let's try this again. Gonna "axe" this orc a question.

Bacon needs a promotion. Also I think my dice are rigged.

"Taste my steel!"

Rolled 20, 1, 20, 20, 4 = 65

>>22060867
I DISAGREE VIOLENTLY.
Time for a charge! I'll throw javelins in melee as I tend to do all the bloody time.
I assume Philgo's still without his CLW since this is the same day as Cyndicea, right?

Ragnar, did you remember to take your free Honey pot for investing in the Honey pot inn? Them pots heal 1d4, I got mine.

Here's 5d20 for Melee (well, pseudo-melee in my case, it's a point blank throw) from my group.

Rolled 6 + 3

Bringing down the halberd.

No, it's the day after.

Oh. Then instead of Philgo clobbering a dude with his mace, he's healing Ragnar for 1d6+1.

Rolled 2, 6 = 8

One jav from me, one bite from Bacon.

Urist STRIKES THE EARTH! again.

Special thanks goes out to Philgo, because the dude is such a bro. I think I'll give him this next orc's skull for a drinking cup.

Yep, he's done for. 27XP each, and 13XP for the retainers

Rolled 1

Looting those orcs for any valuables and drinking a honeypot when I'm done.

What DM said. Rolling HD.

Rolled 1

>>22061126
I'll walk that path alone, hidden [or so I think I am]. The dogs can guard the rock where the orcs first met me. Maybe they can dig up some buried orc stuff.

>>22061141
You come to a crude hide lean-to, with an empty fireplace nearby, as well as a pile of rocks

>>22061168
Head back to the party and finish looting the Orcs' weapons and armor, remembering the way here, and taking my dogs on the way.

It's PROBABLY not trapped, but since the party and I aren't in a rush, I'd say we can spare the time to loot the dead.

>>22061186
The orcs don't have much on them, just their crude wooden spears

>>22061204
Aw.

Well, I lead the party to the crude lean-to and the pile of rocks. Time to go poking with the 10ft in case the orcs set up crude ass traps and all that.

>>22061209
It's just a simple pile of stones. There's no traps or anything unusual about it.
Underneath you think you see a bit of string sticking out of the ground

>>22061232
"Does this string seem... off to any of you?"

>>22061232
I ask the DM if Ragnar is still at 4hp after levelling.
If he is, I offer to sell Ragnar my honey pot for 100gp.

I start digging at the
>You didn't bring a shovel you dumbass
Arse.
I start crudely digging at the string, making a note to upgrade my crowbar to an entrenching tool with a prying head when I get back to town

>>22061244
Open the lean-to
Open the rocks
Open the coffin
Open the locks
Open the trapped door
Open the spiked pit
Open your HP screen
'cause your heart's Open. That's it.

>>22061248
Ah no, he's up to 12 now.

Digging around it, you find a small sack buried in the ground. Within are 720 silver pieces

>>22061280
TINY AMOUNTS OF MONEY.
24gp for players, 12gp for retainers. Well, I dunno.

Shall we hunt one more bandit group before nightfall, head back, rest, then go out to find this Demon boar?

>>22061280
Mmmmm... sweet, sweet HPs.

>>22061295
That sounds like a good idea. We could use the daylight for a hunt.

>>22061295
Your not sure where other bandit camps might be, right noow

>>22061312
Off we go then. Time to find more tiny amounts of money.

>>22061325
I guess we go turn in early, then? So we can start the hunt early?

Also.. Whoever added in my GP and XP, I love you.

>>22061361
Yep.
Leod if you're here, you can join the party in hunting this boar

>>22061325
Mountain passes. Plural.
Well, we went down this pass.
Are there any other passes we can reach before nightfall?

If y, those.

If n, screw it. Go home, rest, then hunt the demon boar. I would like to get 109xp somehow. I wonder if I can make a bet to some drunk rich asshole that he couldn't hurt me even if he swung at me 6 times. That'd level me. If no drunk rich assholes (Note: Must be all 3, do not want to taunt drunk rich innocents) then I guess it's restin' time.

>>22061381
Nope, not really. So the party rests, healing up and getting ready for the boar hunt

>>22061482
Aww yeah.

Time to hunt us some Demon boar.

Do any of the Neanders want to assist us in this hunt? They at least know what the thing looks like and where it went.

Ragnar has some spare retainer slots.

>>22061482
Buying a spade and another honey pot (if possible; 200gp, right?).

Yeah, I can hold 4 retainers, with 0 following atm. Retainer bloat and all.

>>22061524
Yeah, you can buy one.

A neanderthal is willing to go along as guide, but they don't want to fight the demon boar, leaving that to you with your metal armour

Rolled 9

>>22061542
Works for me.
So, let's roll.

I'll go in front, hidden and AC-1'd with the guide. The rest of you should be in the back ready to back us up in case anything big and Boar comes at us.

>>22061569
Heading up through the bushes with the neanderthal guide, you see three boars, one of which is a good deal larger than the other two. It's pacing around, as the others snuffle through the undergrowth for nuts and edible roots

>>22061610
I want to watch the boars for a bit, see if the big one does anything unusual or non-boar-like.

>>22061610
Readying my longbow for ranged initiative behind Drogo and alongside Philgo and Urist

>>22061621
The main unusual thing is that it doesn't seem to be looking for food. It's sniffing at the air though, and looks around with a predatory glint in its eye

Rolled 20

155XP for the PCs, 78XP for retainers

Rolled 6

>>22062252
Ding

>>22062258
Does levelling up affect my AC in any way?
If it doesn't, then comparatively I get squishier and squishier as higher levelled mobs get higher BAB.

Now to handle my retainers' XP.

>>22062281
Nope. You have to look for things like Rings of Resistance and magic armour

>>22062258
Congrats! The Living God smiles upon you.

Going to work on skinning that devil boar, taking the fur as a trophy. I ask anyone if they'd like anything from its corpse. Also, gutting the smaller boars to cook for the party for a dinner.

>>22062298
Definitely a wise idea. Any magic-users in town that would know of where to find rings of protection or magic armor?

>>22062298
Rings of Protection, even

The thankful neanderthals give you pearls and amber. All together the stones are worth 450gp

>>22062298
Skin the demon boar. Take its claws, hooves, eyes, snout, heart, liver, guts, tail. This shit's all going to alchemist.

I tell the Neanderthal their boar is dead, ask if there was any reward.

>>22062317
450gp / 3 = 150gp, that's 150gp per PC, 75gp per retainer.

I'm buying 2 new dogs. Bacon may be alive, but the way he tanks damage and deals damage is extraordinary. I wish to sell him back to the animal handler, with tales of his heroic damage-dealing and damage-taking exploits. Hopefully Bacon can breed a line of dogs.

>>22062349
His deeds are truly exemplary.

>>22062323
The alchemist recognises the parts as being from a wereboar. He gives you 900gp for them

>>22062315
The party will tell you that Echowind's lover Scylla, a medusa living in the Castle of Gygar, apparently has some skill in divination and research. Maybe she could help you out?

>>22062349
The new dogs shall be named "Grey" and "Blue".

>>22062378
I ask the Alchemist if he has any use for regular ol' boar parts, orc parts, bandit parts, dog parts, or other bits from the wereboar I didn't give him.
I tell him I'll start gutting and stringing any tough animal I find.

Hey dudes. 300gp for each PC and 150gp for each retainer comin' up.

>>22062378
Going to be keeping tabs on that. Something to help soak up damage will be helpful, especially if this medusa's of the helpful variety.

>>22062378
Wait.
Wereboar.

Oh shit, I got hit by that. So did Ragnar.
Where do I go to get tested for Wereboar-ness?

>>22062431
You wait for symptoms to start appearing

>>22062457
Though there are preventative measure you can take if you're worried about it, like using wolfsbane

Don't worry though, as a halfling you can't become a lycanthrope. You just die in horrible horrible pain

>>22062482
>wolfsbane
Cool. Where do we get some?
>die in horrible horrible pain
So where's that wolfsbane again?

Rolled 5, 6, 8, 2 = 21

>>22062457
How much does Cure Disease or Wolfsbane cost, and how does one use it?

Also I'm losing 50gp and rolling up my new dogs now if that's okay.

>>22062498
You can buy it for 10gp for a fistfull. The alchemist tells you to take it everyday until the disease passes

>>22062503
Grey: 13hp
Blue: 12hp
Cool.

>>22062515
You bet your ass I'm spending 120g on Wolfsbane right now.

>>22062515
"I'll be taking a few handfuls, then."

>>22062530
Also I just realised something.
Bacon managed to get wounded by the Wereboar.
So does that mean he becomes some type of Dog-boar?
Hope I don't hear tales of some kind of maniac Dog-boar killing the animal handler.
Hope I do hear tales of a breed of some kind of boar-dog with greater toughness and damage dealt.

>>22062566
Also, still askin' that Alchemist about the shit I've fought and killed yesterday.
The regular boars, the (rest of the) wereboar, the bandits, the orcs, and the dog that died.
I make note to buy a few more lootsacks for myself to store dead animal bits.

>>22062587
>human and orc remains
"Uh...no."
Boar and dog remains aren't really that valuable, as he can just get them from the butchers and korean restaurant respectively

>>22062566
Last line: that'd be awesome. Might want to warn the animal handler. Or not.

Also making a note to purchase a steel mirror. For reasons.

>>22062609
Never mind then, thanks.

>>22062610
> Might want to warn the animal handler. Or not.
Well I did tell him how Bacon was fighting that Wereboar like a boss
and those orcs, like a boss
and those bandits, like a boss
and how boss Bacon was in all of this.

Well, game seems over for now. Good game so far DM.

Wonder what other wacky and wonderful adventures are gonna pop up in time?

>>22063186
Stuff remaining:

Cyndicea (Owlbears and Carrion Eaters)
Ghoul forest
Gondolin
Castle Gygax (Ogres)
Mountain passes
+ anything that pops up on job board

Might be worth trying to clear out the Ghoul ruins or the rest of the mountain passes next.
