Brian:

Ok, I'll email you the past transcript if you need a hard refrence, but essentially:

Brian:

Ah ok. You were approached by an orc named Rusuak who offered you 10 gold to get one of the potions strangers brought into town. Your old pal Garthin said he knew a guy who got one when they were here, but you will need something to trade him for it. You two just finished hunting a boar as sharemeat for the next barbeque where you can talk to this guy.

Brian:

Cool. So I know that Garthin was wounded at the end of that. Do you remember if he already stabilized?

Brian:

He's still bleeding a good bit from the boar's goring, but if you tend to him he's still likely to make a full recovery.

Brian:

so after the first hour of tending to Garthin, you have not stabilized him, and he's still bleeding.

Brian:

all right, you can go ahead and roll your check which comes to a total of +5

Brian:

ok, he's still not in good shape, and the sun is starting to set.

Brian:

If you stay out here much longer you will miss your chance to meet Eunshan, if that matters to you right now...

Brian:

And these forests aren't exactly...safe for a young lady in the night...

Brian:

so if you just want to wake him you can slap him to just try to get him to shrug him off.

amanda:

I'm assuming getting my companion back safely is my top priority

Brian:

You eventually stumble your way back to camp, long after nightfall.

Brian:

There is only one dedicated hospital in Gorewood, but it has some good staff. When you come in, however, nobody but the patients are here.

amanda:

and now he can go hang out with other bleeding people at the hospital

amanda:

Assuming we do not, I am going to try to find someone else to go with me to where the potions are supposed to be

Brian:

Any potions or healing in general will be at the church of Nerul, where hopefully a priest is hanging around.

Brian:

You were trying to find Ico this afternoon to tell him forboding news.

Brian:

But yeah, I would assume you either went to bed or are doing an evening round to your job.

Adam Boretos:

Yeah, I'll go back to the ol' 'spittal and check on my patients.

Brian:

You can tell he's been putting way too much pressure on his broken knee cap.

Horik:

Hunting boars, huh? Foolish boy. You shouldn't be hunting them alone.

Horik:

When will you kids learn that you should always hunt boar in six men parties.

Garthin:

She...I don't know. I just wanted to prove I was strong enough...

Udra:

I fail to see how a boy going off in the woods and getting stabed is women's fault.

Rusuak:

You don't run off doing some fool thing like that, and I'll get you a fresh waterlark.

Horik: (( Wes wants to know how long you think we'll play tonight btw ))

Rusuak:

Better sharemeat than any old boar, and nobody will know it came from me.

amanda:

does that mean he's looking at having a regular session tonight?

Brian:

Alright, roll dex+int+wis+skill if you have one to try and stabilize the guy.

Brian:

The boy will need more care as he recovers, but he will make the night. Just needs rest now.

Horik:

Alright, boy, you'll be staying the night here and probably tomorrow night as well.

Rusuak:

We can't find Ico because he is on a sprit quest. His friends say Nerul has sent him horrible signs.

Horik:

I've never heard of such a thing happening before. Can't be good.

Rusuak:

Our lord has protected us this far. He will not abandon the living now.

Brian:

So Garthin looks much better than he used to, and is trying and failing to get sleep.

Garthin:

Not quite, but I did manage to get a fresh waterlark for tomorrow's feast.

Garthin:

Once a priest gets in I'm gonna be walking again, and we are gonna steal the show. Might even be able to trade the beak for the potion right off the bat.

Brian:

I'm just gonna tell you now nobody is going to steal it from you.

Brian:

So it turns out that nobody had time to see Garthin today, so he won't be able to come, but you can.

Eunshan Resmin:

Shure ya did. Ahh, hello small one. You know Garthin right?

Jane:

If he had only had one of those potions, everything could have turned out far better

Orc:

You know, just holding it around doesn't mean you have the stones to drink it...

Jane:

We killed a boar to bring as sharemeat but had to run and couldn't bring it back

Eunshan Resmin:

I saw Garthin's new butholes. Now he can poop in any direction.

Brian:

In Gorwood culture the sharemeat is always brought to the barbeque. Leaving it behind would have been really weird.

Jane:

Like your buddy said, you probably won't drink it, whereas this waterlark you will no doubt put to use

Eunshan Resmin:

I'm quite impressed, but I still don't think it's enough. I want the whole bird with the beak, and your bow too.

Eunshan Resmin:

This is the lad potion pal. The stragers already left. They probably are at Daysriver by now.

Eunshan Resmin:

Then what else are you offering? I don't think a bird is enough for this?

Jane:

I will let you join us on our next adventure if you take the trade

Eunshan Resmin:

Don't become a trader. You aren't very good at it. The bird and the bow or no potion.

Brian:

Do you still hang out with them for this? That would entail actually eating the waterlark, which makes it less valuble.

amanda:

Jane is going back to the hospital to talk to Garthin and see if there's anything else we can trade

Jane:

Your friend is demanding the whole bird and my bow in exchange for the potion

Garthin:

You know what? Take my spear and dagger. I promised a man I wouldn't go hunting again.

amanda:

Ok, Jane is going back to the party, this time with an extra spear and dagger

Jane:

I have a dagger instead of a bow, and you can still get the waterlark

Eunshan Resmin:

You know what? That sounds good to me. Now give me that bird; I want to eat tonight and not just talk.

Brian:

The monster of an orc tears though the waterlark in no time, and offers some of his dire weasel if you want it.

Jane:

I'm going back to the hospital and updating Garthin and giving him his spear back

Jane:

I would like to let you know that the traders are gone but that I have procured the last potion

Jane:

I will be on my way to the hospital now though. If you would still like to trade for the potion, please meet me there tomorrow morning.

Rusuak:

It just...isn't really something I want spread around that I'm trading for foreign potions you know?

Rusuak:

If we can just keep it on the down low, an old man can have a few sins...

amanda:

Is there a chance that he could steal it from me without paying me?

Brian:

It's possible, but not too likely. He's a well known guy, and it's a small town.

Adam Boretos:

In the map explorer section, in the Players folder, you can double click your tokent to be taken to it.

Rusuak:

You know what? This has been one hell of a week for me. Have 15 gold.

Rusuak:

Maybe share some biskets if I still have any? I could use some company that isn't meeting me over matters of life and death.

Brian:

You are at church in the morning, where one of the standard priests is doing the standard speech.

Priest:

But I am sure Ico shall return from this with more answers and hope for all of us living.

Ico:

The lord told me to be with my people now. A great test comes for us.

Brian:

You have nibbled on some biskets, and now Rusark looks at the potion.

Jane:

I am holding my bag and am covertly clutching whichever weapon was small enough to hide in my bag.

Brian:

He gives an adventureous shurg, and drinks the whole thing in one go.

Brian:

You continue to dine, and he begins to tell stories of the early days of Gorwood. Of the days when we thought Uder lived, and the cautionary tale of Torg.

Brian:

Biskets fall to the floor as his mighty arm sweeps them off the table.

Jane:

I do not want to divulge all of the details aloud in front of everyone. Come see him for yourself though.

Brian:

Rusuak is on the floor, out cold. There are biskets all over the floor and an empty bottle of wine on the table.

Horik:

We can't treat a man without knowing his ailment! That could just make things worse!

Brian:

I'm gonna call that a dex check that your first aid helps you with.

Horik: (( All my knowledges are in my token if you want to check them ever btw ))

Jane:

He said that he was going to tell me the greatest story he knew before he forgot

Brian:

His head hit the floor, but not nearly hard enough to have done anything.

Horik: (( I know enough about achohol that it doesn't just kill you in five minutes like this, right? ))

Brian:

You do not, although yo uknow that three orcs splitting two bottles didn't die. They were younger though.

Brian:

But even then, these people sold you a drink that apparently just kills you, so it's still effectively poison.

Horik:

And I thought we had enough problems to worry about without getting poisoned.

Horik:

I know they were headed to Daysriver. I sent someone to intercept them. I think there's no better way to get our answer than to hear it from the horse's mouth.

Horik:

There was another thing, Ico. I assume you didn't get my message.

Ico:

No, I heard about that. My prayer was not as isolated as I would have liked.

Horik:

Oh yeah. Them. Sorry, I'm all mixed up after everything that's happened.

Horik:

He was gone by the time we got here. Not even you can pull a man back from death.

Brian:

News does come back in time. News that the travels found a way to block Nerul's power. News that the whole church at Daysriver sank into the ground.

Brian:

And news that the clerics were able to cast again only once the holy tomb guards of the crypt rose by their own power to kill the intruders.

Brian:

Ico soon orders all the remaining wine locked away for security, although villagers burned the cart before anyone could get to it.

Brian:

Plans are already being discussed to take the fight back to Damriel, or at the very least investigate these new weapons, but those are stories for Goblin VI proper.

Brian:

This was a prelude. I wanted to set up some character motivations and explain how Goblin V ended, and I accomplished that I think

Brian:

Depends on what I'm doing with my life and if I have enough time to run it.

Brian:

And how many other shumks can actually commit to a full campaign where everybody needs to show up every time.
