| Well, all comic books would be on wood pulp paper, and likely really poor quality paper at that. Probably the ones that are in better condition lucked out with lightly higher quality paper. |

| We have a one more potion of healing and a ring of fire resistance up for grabs. Who would like to have one? |

| Take the ring, Ashe. Valak would decline to take it even if offered. |

| Agreed, I think its probably best to devise a party rule for loot, such as whoever most needs the item gets it and if nobody needs it then we give it to someone who hasn't had as many items yet. |

I agree with this. And if it's all right, I'll take a potion of healing. |

I have the current watch order as:
Nagrath
Keldon
Lith
Valthorin
Valak
Cyr
Please let me know how you will handle a double watch. |

| Well, the four hour watch I proposed last time we made camp was technically a double watch, as it had two people up except for two hours at the start and end, when it was only one person. |

Just for this night, we should probably skip the overlap so we're not caught unawares.
The order still looks good:
Nagrath & Keldon
Lith & Valthorin
Valak & Cyr
Also gives a chance for Lith & Valth to talk elven culture.  |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

| Btw, once the guy rides off, Nagrath is going to spend some time creating some man traps along the edge of camp. I'm afb right now and don't remember exactly how it works, but I have rope and the set snares proficiency, so we should be able to whip some things together. |

| I'm fine with that order. And making a few traps is a good idea since if the guy was a Zhent he'll bring more to assist him. He'd probably attack as soon as he could since were one man down already. |

Too true... And I too would have like to have kept him in camp longer, if just to confirm my suspicions. But I couldn't think up anything clever to say to catch him in a lie and Lith is also a little light on the book learning, so she trusts her gut more, especially having fought the Zhents for the last few years.
BTW, Barshevy. I have the "Species Enemy" slot still open and I was wondering if I could actually choose the Zhents as my enemy? If not, I'll probably go with goblin or kobold or something... |

Oh, I totally understand why you did what you did in character. With your character's background with the Zhents I would say it would be a stretch if you didn't react the way you did. Especially if you get to have Zhents as your species enemy (I'm assuming that is the 3.5 equivalent of favored enemy by the sounds of it).
In the long run it was probably a wise decision to not have him around the group, because now he doesn't have the means of playing upon the groups ambitions, motives, or emotions against one another. Valak, in-character though, thinks it was a wasted tactical oppertunity, that's just the way he thinks and he has the objectivity from being detached from the region's hostilities then your character. However, that doesn't mean his coarse was any more right then how the group decided to run with it.
I like how the group doesn't necessarily agree with every action, and that tells me we have a healthy group that will come up with interesting ideas that the others might not have thought of. |

And then there's the gnome that just won't let go. I'm not sure what it would have taken to get Nagrath to back off, but he certainly didn't get it. And until he did, he never would have let the guy stay in the camp with them. There's just too many ways that could go bad.
In other news, in addition to stuff set with the set snares proficiency, I also want to use some of my caltrops to seed the most likely approaches up the hill (ie: the gentlest slopes). If nothing happens, I'll recover them in the morning. Also, I make sure everyone in the part knows what I'm setting and where, so they don't blunder into anything by mistake. |

Aye, hopefully I can find a way to develop my character more, which i'm working on, as this is my first real roleplay compared to the usuall roll playing i end up with at local clubs in the UK.
Just had a thought that I can use my Reckless Dwoemer for casting Alarm spells, as we're out of combat it doesn't really have any ill effect when cast from a safe distance from the party. Its also quite handy as it removes the need for any kind of material component.

| I'd say that'd be pretty desperate, but then again, what's the fun of being a wild mage and not actually making use of the wild surge chart? Go for it if you feel like it, but he and Nagrath should definitely coordinate where they're putting things. |

yeah, i've just looked at the spell duration, which is 4.5 hours, so isn't that effective atm apart from a brief rest alarm, but you never know what might happen lol.

If they're going to come, they're probably going to come in the depths of night. So if you want to try it, cast it just before you go to sleep. Then you'd be able to re-memorize it in the morning, and the alarm would hold for the most vulnerable watch.
Of course, we might also all wake up the next morning a different gender instead... |

You might want to go with the caltrops plan instead of setting snares. Looking at the PHB, you would have make a man-trap, which would take 1 to 8 hours of work per trap. It would have to be some kind of pit. And you would have to make a number of them for a fair chance an intruder would happen across one.

That's the nice thing about a PBP, you can really get into your character.
As for spell memorization, as I understand it you need to read then get a full night's sleep. Basically its a per day limit for each spell slot. At least that's how I remember 2nd edition. So you wouldn't be able to memorize Alarm tonight and cast it tonight. You cast it tomorrow morning, and then that's the only spell you would cast all day. |

Good point. I came up with that plan while I was at work, afb and unable to check how long it took to make traps. I think it's a bit excessive, time-wise, but what can you do? Plus, I've got enough caltrops to be annoying.
So it looks like Nagrath will talk you up on that possible alarm spell, because there's no way to caltrop all that needs to be guarded. |

It's actually the other way around. You need a clear head from 8 hours of sleep to memorize spells. Then they stay there until you cast them or decide to memorize others. So if he's got the spell in memory already (either from that day or some time previously) he can cast it, sleep, then memorize it again in the morning.
I'm probably going to change at least one of my spells tomorrow morning as well, provided some nasty DM doesn't keep us up all night in battle... |

Ah, so it's sleep, then memorize in the morning. Got it.
Problem is, we're still on the same day as the kobold fight. Keldon cast a magic missile today, and wouldn't have Alarm ready. |
