Ch. 33: The Party goes to Umbrage Hill To Warn Adabra of the White Dragon

Dungeon Master (GM): when we get started it will be the next morning. Your basic task is to go see Harbin Wester the TownMaster at the TownHall. There will be a job postings board just outside the hall.   Roqar: Get paid for the Orc Heads and hopefully the Ogre head also   Dungeon Master (GM): yea which reminds me i need to open the other module on my end to check on the reward, unless i posted it here too. so checking on that.   Buddy D.: ok   Roqar: Unless its in a handout faster to check the module   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, yea the reward is 100 gp for dealing with the Wyvern Tor orcs & the ogre   Dungeon Master (GM): Ok, does every see their character token on the map here?   Roqar: Yep   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter Says: "I'm going to take a break from adventuring with you all for now. I am going to be moving into the town hall to help establish law and order in town as I also try to piece together any information on the location of Wave Echo cave that the Rockseeker brothers originally re-located. "   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter Says: "Also, If you all find the location of the Cragmaw goblins main hideout, I will make sure there is a 500 gold pieces reward for dealing with them there."   yea just drop it in somewhere in or near the stonehill tavern   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Alright Sildar, Thanks for your help, glad you made it here See ya round. 500 gold!! I'll take up that offer"   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "you click on the say something in the macro section"   Roqar the Elf Rogue looks around the room at the others "Everyone ready to go?"   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "aye aye"   Dungeon Master (GM): I'll just bunch you all together, and place you near the townhall and go from there. Ok as you approach the building you do see the sign post with 5 job postings tacked upon it.   Here is the original description along with the original Orc & Butterskull ranch posting mentioned:   The townmaster’s hall has sturdy stone walls, a pitched wooden roof, and a bell tower at the back. Posted on a board next to the front door is a notice written in Common. It reads: “REWARD—Orcs near Wyvern Tor! Those of a mind to face the orc menace should inquire within.” The notice bears the town’s seal and an indecipherable signature. as to the new job postings here they are:   Dwarven Excavation Quest: “Dwarf prospectors found ancient dwarven ruins in the mountains southwest of here, and have been working an archaeological dig seeking treasure and relics. They need to be warned that a white dragon has moved into the area. Take the warning to them, then return to Townmaster Harbin Wester to collect a reward of 50 gp.” Gnomengarde Quest: “A clan of reclusive rock gnomes resides in a small network of caves in the mountains to the southeast. The gnomes of Gnomengarde are known for their magical inventions, and they might have something with which to defeat the dragon. Get whatever you can from them. If you bring back something useful and don't want to keep it for yourselves, Townmaster Harbin Wester will pay you 50 gp for it.”   Umbrage Hill Quest: “The local midwife an acolyte of Chauntea, the goddess of agriculture, named Adabra Gwynn lives by herself in a stone windmill on the side of a hill a few miles south of Phandalin. With dragon sightings becoming more common, it’s not safe for her to be alone. Urge Adabra to return to Phandalin. Once she’s safe, visit Townmaster Harbin Wester to claim a reward of 25 gp.”   Butterskull Ranch: “Orcs have attacked Butterskull Ranch, five miles east of Conyberry along the Triboar Trail! Travel there with haste, assess the damage, and help any way you can. Ranch owner Alfonse Big Al Kalazorn is a retired sheriff who can reward you for your efforts. If he’s dead, return to Townmaster Harbin Wester with proof of Kalazorn’s demise to receive a reward of 100 gp.” and actually one more that Falcon had mentioned to you is also posted here:   Falcon Hunter’s Lodge: “The orcs have fallen under the sway of evil spellcasters in Neverwinter Wood, and have been sighted in growing numbers near Falcon’s Hunting Lodge. The spellcasters dwell in a ruined manse. Falcon needs someone to make a preemptive strike against it. Destroy the evil in the manse, then expect him to reward you.”   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "I wonder if we should go see th gnomes"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Had my eye on that as well..."   Chandor Daltos nods, "Perhaps we should see which ones are near each other."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "I say we take all the jobs, see what kind of trouble we stir up" giggles "Trouble seems to follow us.""   Dungeon Master (GM): ok so six jobs are on the board, you have completed two of those jobs.   Chandor Daltos smiles, chuckling with Roqar. "I think I'll like this group."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "I wouldn't mind seeing Falcon again either.""   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "trouble snobble" Says: "exactly roqar"   Dungeon Master (GM): Sildar knows the area of some of the quest, let me check the world map so he gives you the general way to go.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Take the nearest job first, then work our way round back here to get paid again"   Chandor Daltos nods. "Sounds good."   Sildar Hallwinter: says, "Umbrage Hill is about 7 miles south east of Phandalin in some foothills. Gnomemgarde is about 25 miles south east in the mountain range. The Dwarven Exavation is about 17 miles south west near the end of the mountain range.   Chandor Daltos says, "Maybe Umbrage Hill first and then decide from there."   Sildar Hallwinter: says, "Maybe I'll still tag along anyways, Since I know the locations."   Roqar: (Falcon is more NE right?)   Dungeon Master (GM): Yes   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "I think so Roqar"   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter Says: "Ah so Umbrage Hill which is 7 miles out is the closest, It’s a 7 hour trip through some foothills. I will tell Harbin that you will go."" Knocks on the town hall door when he see's it is locked.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Warn the Dwarves work our way back to Falcon, then come back find more jobs make more money" laughs"
Harbin Wester the TownMaster Says: "Yes, who is it? If you are that white dragon please go away at once!"   Chandor Daltos chuckles, "Do dragons usually knock?"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Perhaps they evolved..."   Dolores giggles   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Nope, We're here to get paid for killing Orcs and returning the butter cow for more skulls"   Harbin Wester the TownMaster Says: "Knock or not, i'm not opening the door! State your business here!"   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "open the hatch so we can talk"   Harbin Wester the TownMaster Says: "Ah! So someone has done some jobs for me, wonderful! Do you have the proofs? If so I will pay."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Raises the bag of Orc Skulls   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "I highly suggest you pay us what you owe. we are not here to Robb you or steal. just collect what is rightfully ours"   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter Says: "Harbin, now, come on man, open the door, it's me Sildar here with the group of folks that completed the jobs for you and yes they have the proof needed, plus remember I was going to stay here once i settled in!"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Any chance we can get more for killing an Ogre along with the Orcs?"   15 | 11 PERSUASION  (1) Roqar   Harbin Wester the TownMaster Says: "Sigh, Oh Yes, yes, alright, alright, Sildar you can come in but the rest stay outside please!" Harbin opens the door & sees Sildar, and lets him inside. Says: "I have a set budget and the offer stays as is."   Dolores whispers "This guy has issues..."   Roqar the Elf Rogue After the door closes quietly "We better get paid our fair share"   Chandor Daltos nods. "Indeed."   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter Says: "Here is an Orc head for you Harbin."   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "sir you have but a minute before we attack to pay us"   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter grabs the sack off an adventurer and opens it for Harbin to see.   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "we will not be delayed in our mission"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "How much are you getting paid for the orc job?"   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter Says: "Oh, alright, alright, get that out of here. You'll get your pay!"   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "thank you kind sir"   Harbin Wester the TownMaster Says: "The Wyvern Tor job is 100 gold pieces. I will get that for you right now."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Mumbles "Guys got no balls, just a taste of power."   Harbin Wester the TownMaster Harbin goes to retrieve the money then returns to the door, hands a sack to the nearest party member at the door.   Roqar: Roqar takes the bag starts counting the coins inside   Harbin Wester the TownMaster Says: "There now, I am grateful for your help in the matter. I am sorry for being a little on edge, but with rumor of a white dragon & a green dragon around, my nerves are a bit shot."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "White and green? going to be our next jobs, maybe, after we clean up these others"   Harbin Wester the TownMaster Says: "I'm sure you have seen the job postings on the board there. Feel free to do any of them as you wish."   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Just remember, dragons won't knock."   Dungeon Master (GM): [the green one he is referring to is the one you know of but haven't seen back up in Thundertree village.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "We'll be back for more pay, Thanks"" Says: "Pay us for the butterskull cow to, shes a nice cow"   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter Says: "I am going to get settled in here a bit. Come back when you are ready I will guide you to Umbrage Hill." [Ok, so if there is any thing the party wishes to do while in town, now is the time to do it. Otherwise we'll just say you dally about the town sight seeing for a bit then come back to see sildar.]   Roqar: Stop by the shrine of good luck pay respects   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, so your first stop is at the shrine   Dolores: (btw what are the rules on component pouch)   Zar'Tharkus: there we go loaded wrong one lol sorry im late my meds really took it out of me this \morning   Roqar: (Glad you made it, just about to go our next job)  
Dungeon Master (GM): ok, your spell component pouches will contain the components wrapped in either waxed parchment or potato sack fabric. So that you can pull it out and use it right away and it will hold 12 usages. Ok, Roqar and any other adventure are here at the shrine of good luck paying respect.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Roqar will toss a coin up into the statues hand as a devout follower of Tymora would   Dungeon Master (GM): Any other place in town anyone has a curiosity for before heading down to Umbrage hill?   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Dolores: (ready)   Dungeon Master (GM): Ok so the party is eager to go so it's only an hour and they are back at the town hall knocking on the door for sildar.   Roqar: Anything else? go back get a bottle of whiskey for the road Hehe   Buddy D.: sounds good   Harbin Wester the TownMaster Says: "Yes! Who is there? How May I help you?"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok Roqar does that then   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Here to ask Sildar to be our guide again"   Harbin Wester the TownMaster Says: "Oh, ah yes, Hold on, I will get him."   Zar'Tharkus: haha sorry i thought it broken lol my bad   Dungeon Master (GM): a moment later, Sildar opens the door   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter Says: "Ah yes, I see you all are eager to go so let's get going shall we?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Hey Sil Ready to go again?"   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter Says: "Yes, yes, I am ready. Just need to grab my backpack and weapons." Sildar goes for a moment to collect his belongings and returns. Says: "Alright Harbin, we'll see you later. Don't let the dragons bite now!"   ok i'll move to the world map   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "We're thinking head to the Southwest first, work our way round back to Falcon." (Sighs at Falcon)"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Who's Falcon?"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, so 2 hexes of travel so i will do 2 checks on wandering monsters   Roqar "Hes a Human who has a hunting lodge we stopped by on our way to the haunted mansion. It was, an enjoyable night for me"   Dungeon Master (GM): also need to check on the travel speed through foothills here. ok so 5 hours a hex = 7 hours travel time down to Umbrage hill (To GM)rolling d6( 3 ) = 3   Dungeon Master (GM): (To GM)rolling d6( 4 ) = 4   Dungeon Master (GM): there are no troublesome encounters on the way down so now we go to the umbrage hill map   Dolores "Haunted mansion... never been to one of those..." Dolores says, looking dreamy.   Roqar "That mansion was alright, just so damn cold"   Dungeon Master (GM): Built on the slope of Umbrage Hill is an old stone windmill surrounded by an iron fence. A large winged monster with a spiky tail is trying to knock down the windmill’s front door. A woman appears in a second-floor window, waves at you, and yells, “A little help?!”   Roqar: (Yells back) "Help is on the way!!" (Do we have any idea what the creature is thats at the door?)   Dungeon Master (GM): Ok, from your current vantage point you do no see the creature to which the troubled lady is referring to.   Buddy D.: where   Roqar runs to the windmill looking around for the trouble   Dungeon Master (GM): I will ping the spot you see her   Time Echo (Xar'Tharkas) follows Roqar glaive in hand   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "Please Hurry! It's a manticore and it's trying to get into the front door!"   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "It's around to the east side!!"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "A Manticore?!! You really do need help""   Dungeon Master (GM): hmm, having trouble with the reveal, hold on ok   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Yeah, it sure looks like a manticore"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok adventurers what's the plan here! the Manticore pauses his assault on the door as it sees you approach.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Hey There, Why are you tryin to get in there?"   Manticore Says: "I am in search of some food!"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Having bad luck hunting eh? Thats not good"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "I've seen one of these before... but dead."   Manticore Says: "Uhmm, well yes, you could say that."
Time Echo (Xar'Tharkas) tightens his grip on his weapon   Time Echo (Xar'Tharkas) the Says: "find food elsewhere" Says: "search elsewhere"   Manticore Says: "Say, you are looking mighty tasty yourselves."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Actually Elves don’t taste good"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Do you really think you can take all of us?"   Manticore Says: "Have you anything you could give a hungry manticore like me? You see, a white dragon had driven me away from my home in the mountians."   Buddy D.: I have some green tobacco   Dolores: (What do manticores eat) (maybe dolores has read about them?)   Roqar: (Crazy idea Make a deal fight the dragon with Manticores help??   Dungeon Master (GM): [well the manticore did say you look tasty so there's that.]   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Maybe we can feed him the woman inside."   Buddy D.: lol   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "But I don't suppose that's morally correct."   Lysander the Human Rogue Says: "I have some rations I could part with"   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "sir we can kill the dragon with your help and then you would have free reign again"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Looks at Dolores trying to determine if shes serious or not?   Manticore Says: "Meaty rations, perhaps?"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Say, if you help us kill the dragon... you could eat the entire dragon. Wouldn't you say that's a good bargain?"   Lysander the Human Rogue Says: "Perhaps" (Good point^)   Manticore Says: "Sounds like an idea yes." Says: "As my mate is also hungry for a good meal."     Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "So, you dont eat us, we fight together against the dragon?""   Dolores looks around for another manticore.   Manticore Says: "Are you able to come with me now then to where the dragon lairs in the home of orcs and manticores?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Yes, we are, Lead us there"   Manticore Says: "Very well, then, follow me when you are ready."   Roqar: FWIW If we TPK Sorry   Dungeon Master (GM): [are you actually going to head there now? Will you speak with the girl in the old windmill first?]   Roqar: Sure talk to her first   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "talk to the lady in the house"   Dungeon Master (GM): [she isn't exactly ready to just walk out the door to greet you all]   Roqar: (Go back under the window call out for her   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & apothecary Says: "yes? is it gone now?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "It will be any idea why it wanted inside?"                 Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "do you know why it wanted to eat you"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Pretty sure it said it was hungry."   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "Will Be?! Hmm, It wants food! Likely me! I was outside when he tried to pounce on me from the air, I escaped and ran into here."   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "You don't have to worry... for now anyway."   Dungeon Master (GM): [Do you remember why the job sent you down here?]   Roqar the Elf Rogue Sighs mumbles "You guys need to learn how to play people, there might be somethin here"   Dungeon Master (GM): “The local midwife an acolyte of Chauntea named Adabra Gwynn lives by herself in a stone windmill on the side of a hill a few miles south of Phandalin. With dragon sightings becoming more common, it’s not safe for her to be alone. Urge Adabra to return to Phandalin. Once she’s safe, visit Townmaster Harbin Wester to claim a reward of 25 gp.”   Roqar: (Warn some Dwarves doing an excavation?)
Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "thats what I thought roqar"   Dungeon Master (GM): that's another job Roqar!   Buddy D.: oops can we speak with you ma'am?   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Ya know it maybe time for you to move into town instead of being out here by yourself"   Willie the Elf Ranger Says: "Is your name Adabra"   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "Yes, and I am Adabra (shouting from a 2nd story window)" {let me reveal part of 2nd story   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "We'll gladly help you move to town, its safe to come out"   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "Well, i'm not going anywhere! Why would I go back to Phandalin?!"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Come here and I'll explain."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "To be in a safer place, so you dont have manticores banging on your door anymore"   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "My work is here! I am not going back to Phandalin! Just get rid of that beast for me please!"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "This poor "beast" came here because a white dragon stole his home." Says: "What are you going to do if you were attacked by a dragon?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue (Turns to the others) "Fuck it then, Leave her."   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "Oh great, so there's a white dragon now too? Still, I must stay here."   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter Says: "Well, at least we found her alive. Harbin will want some proof we were here and talked to her."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Why must you stay here? That manticore might eat the others, then you wont anyone out here to work here?"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "We need her to be in town for the reward." Says: "and lady, if you insist on being alone at least learn how to defend yourself."   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "I have fields to tend to here, so I can not leave!" Says: "All I have is this windmill, now with a damaged door!"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "We tried, fuck it, she wants to be a farmer, fine, leave her be"   Lysander the Human Rogue Says: "We could burn her crops, Then she would have no reason to stay"   Dungeon Master (GM): [You would know that Chantea is the goddess of agriculture in the region.]   Roqar the Elf Rogue Grins at Lysander "We gotta talk more, we think in the same lines"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "She's not being reasonable."   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "Who sent you here? and why?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Thats why I'm fine with leaving her"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "How is that important?" Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "We're just concerned about this poor lady in her farm being attacked by a manticore."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "We were sent by the Mayor of Phandalin, he wants you in town"   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "Oh Harbin sent you down?! Well, i'm not going, dragon or manticore be damned."   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Why do you bother wasting people's time calling for help then?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue (Shrugs) "We tried, I'm done here"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Let's just go guys, I'm sure our manticore doesn't wanna stay hungry forever." Says: "Do you now?"   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "A manticore was breaking down my door! What do you expect? I don't think they eat cereal! Tell you what, I'll write a note to Harbin, explaining why i'm staying. Ok?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Sure We'll deliver it to him" (Quietly "When we get back")"   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "Very well then, hold on, I'll write it up and toss it out the window to you. " She leaves the window and comes back a few minutes later.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Holds up her hands to catch the paper   Adabra Gwynn the MidWife & Apothecary Says: "(Tossing the note out the window) Here, Take that to Harbin for me! Good luck with your new friend fighting that dragon, though you folks don't look like you could fight a windmill!"
Roqar the Elf Rogue (Catches the letter) Yeah, fuck you to, Lady, Lets get going, Manticores not gonna wait long" (Reads the letter on the way)   Dungeon Master (GM): [The note is just explaining to Harbin why she can't leave with all the crops she has to tend to and thus why she must stay here.]   Roqar: (Chuckles, puts the letter into her pack   Roqar: (Do we go after the manticore and dragon now?   Dungeon Master (GM): ok [so yea decide on if you are going to follow the manticore into the cold mountains or perhaps offer another deal here?]   Roqar: Follow the Manticores or leave them to eat the Meat in the windmill Haha   Lysander: Why not both?   Dolores: ^ interesting   Roqar: Shrug I'm fine with that I dont see it as evil myself so dont see a conflict   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter Says: "Adabra does supply Phandalin so she does have a point in staying here. At least she was warned of the white dragon and now we see manticores were driven off the mountain home as well as the Many Arrows tribe of Orcs."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "If we can kill the dragon, the manticores probably won’t bother her anymore"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok so we know Roqar wants to follow the manticore to the dragon, does anyone else in the party wish to do so? if not some other means of keeping the manticore from attacking anyone is likely needed!   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Didn't the rock gnomes have something to help defeat the white dragon...? Whatever it is..."   Lysander: Ill follow. Not sure where exactly were going tbh)   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "I don't think it's wise to just barge into the dragon's lair without some kind of assurance."   Dungeon Master (GM): [no one in the party knows where the white dragon's new lair is. Since no one even knows exactly where the Many Arrows tribe of orcs and now also these manticores lived before the dragon drove them out.]   Dolores: (isnt the manticore leading us there right now?) (or it wants to)   Dungeon Master (GM): [Yes, the manticore would lead you to the lair to rid of the dragon. But it is still hungry of course.]   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Question to manticore: How long do you think you can hold your hunger?"   Roqar: 2 Manticores Plus US = Dragon Killers   Manticore Says: "Well, I don't know the answer to that really. I am hungry right now." Says: "And you all still look tasty to me." Says: "However, if you are willing to fight the white dragon, I will not eat you if we go now."   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "If you eat us, who's going to help you reclaim your home? Think about that."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "We go kill the dragon or not?"   Manticore Says: "Good point. I may let you go if you have some coin even?"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "I think we should go to the rock gnomes, maybe we can feel some to the manticore after we get what we want from them." feed*   Dungeon Master (GM): ok what do the other two think here? gnomes first? if so what's the new deal to keep the manticore from possibily attacking?   Lysander: Im with dolores, Go to the gnomes. Manticore can eat them if he wants. Ill look the other way)   Dungeon Master (GM): [side note: I admit this encounter is a bit wonky, as it's basically a farm and should have tasty animals for the manticore!]   Dolores: (wait there are farm animals here?)   Roqar: (Offers the Manticore 144 gold to delay eating us)   Dungeon Master (GM): nope no animals here going by encounter as is. [does roqar have that much?! If so ok then]   Roqar: Its the gold on my sheet in exchange for not eating us   Manticore Says: "You say you have 144 gold for me? Well then in that case! I will take that and leave you and the lady in the windmill alone!"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Pulls out the gold "We have a new deal then"   Dolores: (what do manticores do with gold)
Xar'Tharkas the Half-Orc Fighter Says: "Grumbles we should have just killed it now no manticore and no dragon..."   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Are you sure you don't want help to reclaim your home? @manticore"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok Roqar pulls out he sack that Harbin gave the party with an additional 44 gold inside of it and hands it to the beast who takes it from her. Manticore Says: "Oh sure any help would be appreciated yes. If I see you approach our former home, I will come to assist. Thank you so much for your generous offer! I will leave you be now. (then flys off.)"   Roqar: We can do the other jobs then take care of the dragon   Zar'Tharkus: hopes his share wasnt in there...   Dungeon Master (GM): After informing Adabra that the manticore has left, she tells them to greet her at the now damaged front door in order to be given a potion of Healinf for their troubles.   [another note: i'm looking at the windmill maps and there is no way to go between floors!] let me go to the world map ok from Umbrage Hill the other two job locations are ~ 12 miles to the SW or SE from here. Both are in the Sword Mountains themselves.   [Let’s make it that the adventurers camped at the windmill site until late morning and had no wandering monsters disturb their rest. They depart around 10:30 am and reach the site around 10:30 pm]   Roqar: That deal was too Iffy Anytime we could get eaten or his mate decides to eat us I vote SW   Zar'Tharkus: agreed should have killed them not that strong and now out money and no closer to the dragon...   Roqar: So SW or SE?   Dolores: SW   Lysander: Sw   Zar'Tharkus: dont know what jobs are so which ever sounds fine to me   Dolores: without pressure from the manticore, we can afford to head SW i think (damn, would've really liked to take whatever the gnomes had to defeat the dragon then feed some to the manticore) XD   Dungeon Master (GM): (To GM)rolling d6( 2 ) = 2   Dungeon Master (GM): (To GM)rolling d6( 3 ) = 3   Dungeon Master (GM): (To GM)rolling d6( 4 ) = 4   Dungeon Master (GM): ok no encounters on the way to get there!   [Let’s make it that the adventurers camped at the windmill site until late morning and had no wandering monsters disturb their rest. They depart around 10:30 am and reach the site around 10:30 pm]   Roqar: Call it now until next week?   Zar'Tharkus: im fine with that   Dungeon Master (GM): it's 12 hours through foothills and 12 hours through the mountains to get to where you are so you had to camp and rest along the way for sure. Ok yea we can stop here and start with the dwarven excavation job next week
