Out Of Character

Dieter will vote for the abbey mission; it's the fastest way to get Olaf back where he belongs.

(Although he also thinks we should just pay the thousand, have the old broad restore Olaf fully, and then strike off on our own to find this abbey place. Then we'd be in a stronger position to negotiate a 'finder's fee' for the crap they want back...)

Out-of-character I am down for whatever.

In-character Highbough will need some convincing. Perhaps the party can appeal to his desire for knowledge and mystic secrets? (whenever he gets back from wherever he is...)

Ulric will still stick with his earlier recommendation of clearing the basement, hiring guards for the manse, and hiring some porters for the trip. Then of course purchasing the needed supplies for the four plus day expedition. All this should be done first. Let's not wander off into the wilderness to starve (again) and leave our home unsecured.

Danhem makes a valid point about securing our manse.

I'm fine with that, as well, if we might mount the expedition rather quickly. Obviously we can't do it this evening, with a bunch of nuns running around, though.

Olaf agrees with Dieter, but he's not in a position to say so IG because I sure as heck doesn't want to piss off the Mother. [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

He is also of the opinion that clearing the basement doesn't matter all that much if we aren't going to be upstairs. Go deal with the quest, then when we get back we can clean the basement and maybe the tombs as well.

Okay folks, I have finally got around to updating the party statistics.

It has taken me a while because I wanted to solve the age old problem of having to keep the same information up to date in multiple places (i.e., on my PC, and also here on the forum -- in the horrible BBCode table syntax).

That problem is solved at last! I now need only maintain exactly one spreadsheet.

Ways, how did you do that? I'm interested because I have the same problems with the games I'm running and trying to keep stats updated is an absolute PITA!

Oh, and happy birthday! 41? You are just a baby, I'll be 61 on the 15th of this month.

Eris, "the old coot!"

I'd rather make the Mother and her Cloister our allies rather than agitate them. If we are planning on returning to the tombs we will likely need their help again.

Clearing the basement won't take long (hopefully) and we can pair it with acquiring supplies and henchmen (both of which we will need).

I reckon check out the basement until we find some coin, then beat a hasty retreat and undertake the Mother Most Holy's quest - the former supplying us for the latter.

I'll explain the machinations after work tonight [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

I will also summarise everybody's intentions for the evening, and the morrow, so we can get started on the next adventure!

Dorgan votes for the basement.

Who knows? If we stick around in the city for another day or two, we may be able to add another adventurer or four to our party as well!
