[D&D] The Lost Mines of Phandelver

Nope, it just means that @twietee's is out of the game.

I'm hoping some Redbrands have gone on vacation since our ranks have gotten very thin :).



@ravenvii, spend the night in the barn and ask the farmer's son to show us the entrance to the secret passage in the morning.

Congrats Tweetee! :)

If you have not noticed we are now missing 2 out of the original 5 (I know you noticed ;)). I think we should advertise for new players or at least discuss the best way to proceed.

Congrats @twietee, fantastic news, and I hope you three are all hale, hearty and deeply, deliriously, happy.

Oh, and do, please, feel free to remain with us on this adventure - as intermittently or infrequently as your recently dramatically and happily altered circumstances will allow you.

You awake and emerge from the hayloft to a overcast sky. It seems to be foreboding something. You have a feeling you know exactly what it is.

Nonetheless, you feel refreshed, and ready to face it.

As you approach the Alderleafs' home, you see Carp sitting outside with a sullen face.

"I told mother you needed me to show you the tunnel! But she said no. Said I am not to go anywhere near that forest, she said. I know you need to fight the Redbrands and save the town, I told her! But she said no."

The boy points to the ground before him. "But I'm clever and not going to let my mother stop you from fighting the Redbrands! I drew a map right here in the ground!"

You look at the crude map drawn in the dirt. And surprisingly, it makes sense. You now know, more or less, where the tunnel is.

***

The party has been fully healed, and all spell slots has been freed. You're as good as new!

***

@Scepticalscribe you are still in a conversation with Sister Graele the night earlier. Let's wrap it up so you can re-join the present :)

So are we not going to discuss the path forward, character player participants, not Redbrands? ;)

I'm assuming that @ravenvii has it all worked out with @twietee and that @ravenvii will start the discussion when he is ready for new players.

@ravenvii has already said that he didn't want other new players going through what you had to and that he would talk about new players when his game was ready for them.

I would like to know though if the Count character is still with us in our assault on the manor.

To party members at the farm in the morning (out of earshot of the prisoner) : We can make plans for the assault on the Redbrand mansion when we get to the secret passage. I'm hoping that the passage connects with the mansion but it may only be a place they hide their loot. For now, let's see if the farmer's son can take a quick message to Syllin at the shrine. I know elves and sometimes their conversations go on for weeks. I would prefer Syllin's help but we have to be prepared to assault the mansion with just us if she doesn't come.

orders: @ravenvii, please ask the farmer if the farmer's son could bring a message to Syllin in the shrine and lead her back to the farm. We thank the farmer and notify her that we will be leaving within the hour. The message will say that we leave for the mansion within the hour so please join us at the farm if she is interested.

Carp's eyes opened wide with excitement. "I won't let you down! Mother! I'm going to the Shrine to help the adventurers! It's just a message, nothing dangerous!"

Before his mother could reply, the boy is running down the road back into town.

***

Yep, the Count is still with us. I plan to have him leave with Veit after the next dungeon.
 
Bifur CU Oval.sm4.png Now there goes a good lad and future adventurer. I think he'd be an adventurer right now if he could get away from his Mom, not that I would encourage that. There's a time and a place for such things. Investigating the tunnel sounds good to me, hopefully Syllin is not tied up with elf wizarding education.

Shakes the dwarf awake. It's midmorning and the farmer's son should be back soon after carrying our message to Syllin. Also, since when have dwarves drunk tea :).

Since Dalo, a realm traveler with exotic tastes, that's since when! I thought I had some cranberry tarts, where'd they go?
 
Carp reappears, running on the road back to the farm.

"They-- they--"

Carp stopped before Claus, panting. "They're gone! Both the elf wizard and the sister! The shrine is empty, and the house, too! I tried to knock at the sister's house and even peeked into the windows -- don't tell mother -- the house is empty! No one's seen the sister since last night!" Carp cried, his usual excitement barely abated.

@Plutonius @Huntn @twietee @Moyank24 how do you respond?

Bifur CU Oval.sm4.png Boy, they really named you Carp? Never mind... calm down and think, besides being empty do you remember anything else unusual, such as signs of a struggle? I'm wondering out loud if they were taken or are on a secret mission of some kind? I doubt they will be at the pub.
<Looking at the others> Depending on the lads memory, maybe we should go look for ourselves?

The problem is that the Redbrands will probably soon know about our fight at the tavern and they will be out looking for us. We should immediately head towards the secret passage to the mansion and we can leave directions at the farmhouse for Syllin in case she shows up.

"I... I..." Carp looks crestfallen. "I didn't look close. The shrine didn't look any different. The house looks normal. I... I can run back and look close!"

@Scepticalscribe let me know when you're ready to go.

I'll get a post in tonight:

Syllin is still trying to work out the best way to drag information from Sister Garaele without 1) breaching elven etiquette (elders are supposed to be respected, not questioned or challenged), and 2) without having to taken on any further idiotic commitments by way of compensation for reluctantly vouchsafed information.

For now, I am busy tying up loose ends (personal and professional) for the Yule season.

After tonight, - or perhaps tomorrow - I do not expect to be able to post before 28-29 December.

Bifur CU Oval.sm4.png Approved by me! <Takes one last gulp of tea and starts cleaning up/organizing belongings- everything in it's proper place...>
