D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

Orchid was hardly paying attention to most of what was going on. At some point in the conversation he had left to return to his things so he could grab his food, only to later come back after having eaten. It didn't help that everyone was talking a lot using big words that he didn't understand without listening very carefully. But he had a rough idea of what Leosin wanted; basically he wanted the group to go back to the camp and finish the job of destroying the nest. Certainly a challenge but one that Orchid was willing to pursue. Though he imagined that beyond whatever information the party would get from Leosin, they wouldn't get much help then that. Orchid knows that much at least. When he did arrive back inside the room Leosin mentioned something about a reward, but Orchid would let someone else handle the money.

"Hmph. Then we get ready. For sneaky hunting! If Dragon too big for cave, then no worry about dragon. But caves small. And only one way in. Maybe?" Orchid figured that there was only one entrance into the den, but perhaps there was another? Preferably from outside of the camp. Eager as he was to fight off a hoard of cultists their job was to destroy the nest, not the cult. Though now he really wished he did come here with an orcish hoard; at least then their numbers would be enough that they could conceivably win a direct confrontation with the unified cult. "So... What do?"

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

I’ll get a post up by tomorrow at the latest. Sorry for the long silence.

Ruins of Norn: Walking Apocalypse

If no one has anything in particular you want to do, or want to explore the rest of the chapel, we can do a long rest. Don't forget to subject a food ration too; you need at least one ration or something that can suffice for a ration to get a full long rest. Otherwise you'll only get to heal half instead of the full.

Also for longrest heals, what you will do for those is roll all your hitdie regardless if you expanded all of them, and add your Con bonus multiples by your level. Whatever the total for that would be is how much you're healed. So the formula is Hitdie+Con(Level) = HP healed. If you've only just rested without eating or drinking for that day, you only get half. Do that twice and you'll gain a level of exhaustion, and continue gaining them if you don't eat before you rests. Additional difficulties and penalties may also apply depending on the circumstances, such as cold weather, hot weather, disease, etc.

Sorry for the double posting, but I made the edits. A quick list of em in order for your convenience:

His name is Ograh. Like Ogre but with an "rah" sound at the end instead of an "ger".

His father is named Gorshok, his mother is Orchid, grandfather is Urk, and I also introduced his grandmother Dushnia. It's not mentioned in the CS, but she died before he was born. Urk fought in the great war, but then traveled around the world to help his old friends back in the Legion. That's how he got to Skyrim, met Dushnia, and got interested in learning more about his people. he would continue to travel to learn, taking Dushnia with him, and later after amassing money from his friends settle down in the Imperial City to raise a family in relative safety, as well as making sure his son has an opportunity to join the Legion.

I replaced the lockpicks with a prybar. Not as light as a lockpick, but fits his brute force style better. He keeps it in his backpack.

Made the note that his spell often fizzles or shortens out early. He thinks it's because he's not a good mage and thus has bad control over his familiar.

It was mentioned at the very bottom but I expanded more of it the relationship section, but Kat gets his Skooma from the Khajiit caravans. Right now he's actually traveling with one towards Skyrim. The leader of the Caravan, Do'Morath, is a friend from the 114th who first gave Ograh skooma to deal with his traumatic experiences. They both left around the same time and Ograh helped Do'Morath between his own business, and decided to tag along with him as extra muscle as well as have access to a ready supply of Skooma (As long as he works for it of course). I may or may not have Ograh let his greed get the better of him and try to have him swipe some Skooma from Do'Morath is he starts getting more reliant on Skooma, or whatever would be more interesting at the given moment.

Copy that. When I'm at my computer I'll make the edits and additions, let you check em over once they're done.

Gaia Frontier (5e)

It can still happens. I just gotta work my magics.

The Faraway Land: Arcane Adventures (Looking for new players 11/3/18)

Cool. I'll do a write up and PM you about it so we can work it into your world. I know we all get to contribute to the world building but tis simply due process to make sure the GM gets the final say, nya?

Gaia Frontier (5e)

Frankly they don't seem all that friendly to begin with, but as mentioned before they just seem cautious. You get the idea that they too are aware of those bad men in the forest and are reacting accordingly, being wary of any stranger that comes to town.

@Thinslayer

Very interesting. Could I bother you for a question? I’m curious to know a bit more about the orcs, like how long they’ve existed and such. I was hoping to write up a tribe who have founded a coastal town rife with internal struggles between the different castes, as well as the problems they face from external threats and their own physiology.

Ethan

It took Ethan a good ten minutes to run far enough to no longer hear the sound of combat, and fortunately he could see the next village ahead. It wasn't too dissimilar to the previous village; mainly farm land with many workers out in the field. There was a notable area where various goats and sheep grazed, with men on horseback watching over them. As Ethan came closer he would be confronted by a group of men armed with axes and spears, however they didn't seem hostile, but neither did they seem militia. "Hold there traveler. State your business. We've had run afoul with brigands and bandits and we aren't too keen to letting their spies through Wayward." These men looked tough for farmers, at the very least they weren't young lads who likely were here only for strength; they had a grizzled look of former fighting men who had retired to agriculture. And sure enough while they seemed ready to fight, they weren't so agitated that they were going to attack Ethan immediately; they were disciplined enough to hear the man out.

Shem'et

The orc took the greenwarish. One pound was enough for 2 gold coins, which itself would be enough for room and board at the Drunken Dragon. however the orc shook his head. "Well, dis is nice. But two coins ain't gunna be enuff fer long. I don't know bout ye, but I plan ta keep looking around deez forest fer more Greenwarish. Now dat I know dat dere be fey ere, I'll be more careful. But, safety in numbers, eh? Scratch my back an I'll scratch ye. While go bout doin wotever it ez ya up ta, I'll look fer some Greenwarish and make sure nuthin jumps us." The Orc rubbed the back of his head and sighed. "Truth be told, still a bit jumpy dat dere might be more critters out dere dat'll get me. I'd feel safer wif ya since ya seem a capable sort. At da very least yer faster den me." The orc was rather honest, strange coming from such a rough looking character. He picked up the oar off the ground and stuffed the Greenwarish into his pouch for delivery. "Wot say ye?'
