Prince Skylio: Yes I'm very good thanks are you?
Prince Skylio: Hi Simon
Smon: Hello both
Sandor Sunneson: Evening Simon
Sandor Sunneson: Yeah good ta,
Smon: Fergus you do know we're not doing Bisgen tonight?
Prince Skylio: Chris is just logging on
Prince Skylio: I stole the good laptop
Smon: LOL
Smon: Last session http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2017/10/29347-return-to-stonehell-vermin.html
7:00pm 2017-10-17 chris107 Has entered the room
Sandor Sunneson: Quiet day, oh, ah well. ah, the time, I thought 8-10 was the game level we ere playing
chris107: Evening
Sandor Sunneson: just realised that now ha ha
chris107: Is ChrisB joining us?
Sandor Sunneson: think ninja, think Sandro
Smon: End of last session Smon: Jana: "These definitely look like Goblins. These larger figures with whips - hobgoblins? And this one, like a Man - leading the Goblins to overthrow them?" thescificultist: Corax moves into the entrance to the chamber Smon: OOC I reckon you can dim it chris107: Does it have horns? chris107: OOC - thanks Smon: No horns visible, more like a halo. It looks like a large armoured human warrior, cleaving through hobs as gobs caper & rejoice Smon: Jana: "I don't recognise this myth... but this is definitely goblin work." chris107: "It would seem that the Hobgoblins have enemies other than ourselves?" Smon: Jana nods. "Yes. The goblins were enslaved - then a human hero overthrew the hobgoblin overlords." Smon: /roll d20 Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 18, Smon: Jana looks bright. chris107: yay Smon: "Perhaps... If we find goblins here, we can use this? This tale of a human saviour? Ally with them against the hobgoblins?"
Sandor Sunneson: No, he can't make it
chris107: Mordred polishes his halo.
Sandor Sunneson: Possibly an ancient Hakeem
Sandor Sunneson: (who overthrew the hobgob opverlords)
chris107: (Hakeem is 23 )
chris107: Just a quickie about the mid level game. Ursa's new Maul does 2d6 on a hit. How many does it do on a Critical hit and a savage Critical?
Smon: OOC: Bill said "The warrior in shining armour was my character Bravery. If you inspect the pictures carefully you see the sword turns into a flaming spear of his ultimate triumph"
Sandor Sunneson: It's the way to go being a Barb, get the CON to 20, then just damage away with STR and wittle the opponents down
chris107:
Smon: Crit doubles all dice
Smon: Savage Crit then adds more dice on top
chris107: So 2d6, 4d6, 6d6?
Sandor Sunneson: what is savage crit?
chris107: Barbarian ability
chris107: You have had it for some time
Smon: Looks like 4d6 +1d6 for savage crit at 9th = 5d6
Smon: Avg 17.5
chris107: Cool, thanks. Just so I know.
Smon: Great axe would be 3d12 - avg 19.5, but lower non-crit dmg
Sandor Sunneson: shoudl have used that against the mind blanker lol
Smon: Zagaar's 3d6 > 6d6 on crit!
chris107: Zagaar is pretty cool at G'dshing.
chris107: Even if he stinks of cabbage
chris107: Half Orc brutal crit included?
Smon: You finish inspecting the painted goblin-shrine cave.
Smon: no, add +1d6?
Smon: So 7d6?
chris107: Yup
Sandor Sunneson: what part of the map we on?
chris107: and on a 19-20
Smon: West #8
chris107: Link to the map please? I've been demoted to an old laptop.

chris107: Ewww
Sandor Sunneson: no comment lol
Smon: Now there's a sight you do see pretty much every day round here
Smon: London, City of the Rat God (& buses)
chris107: (It was your level 9 barbarian ability by the way fergus. Improves twice more as you go up )
Prince Skylio: We saw a mouse jump in front of the rube :'(
Prince Skylio: tube*
Smon: Mice usually dodge
chris107: Poor Mouse
Smon: GM: OK Jana leads you back out of the caves, the Light of Apollo illuminating the way, and points upslope to cave #4.
Smon: "We should inspect that one also."
chris107: "Onwards!"
chris107: (Just trying to find last game's notes for HP, action suges etc.)
Smon: Heading east along the cliff trail, you pass a split where a side trail goes right up the cliff, but you follow a gentler slope east.
chris107: HP I have found
chris107: 32/36 at present.
Smon: Ahead you see the cave mouth.
chris107: Dark?
Smon: Corax is on 44/45, everyone else on full I think
Smon: There are a few bones on the ledge and a strong pungent scent of Wolf. Fangtang looks happy and wags his tail in a very doggy fashion, then howls.
Smon: Answering howls come from within the cave.
chris107: "fangtang's home?"
Prince Skylio: "These your friends Fantang?"
Sandor Sunneson: Might be a bitch for him in the cave
Prince Skylio:
chris107: "he already has one. Oh? Fangtang?"
Smon: Fangtang hurries forward, and is met at the entry by two bitches - one old, one young - and a litter of 4 little cubs.
Sandor Sunneson: how nice
Smon: Fangtang greats the matriarch-wolf, who eyes the rest of you suspiciously.
Prince Skylio: "Maybe this is his family"
Smon: greets
chris107: "Very sweet."
Prince Skylio: "Fangtang you may stay here but you must promise to be a good dog"
Smon: "Woof!"
Prince Skylio: "He understands me."
chris107: "yes, thanks for chasing down that Hobgoblin Fangtang. We shall miss you."
Sandor Sunneson: I'm sure we will encounter you again
chris107: From this height can we see the northern cave behind the stand of trees?
Smon: Fangtang goes inside with his happy family. From the ledge you have a great view out over the canyon, lit by reddish afternoon light.
chris107: Or across into the cave behind the waterfall?
Smon: As I was about to say... From this height you can see the northern cave behind the stand of trees
Smon:
Sandor Sunneson: do we see anything suspicious?
chris107:
Smon: You can see the waterfall cascades out from a cave in the heights about 20' higher than your elevation.
Smon: Steam rises from the cave mouth where the water falls.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Smon: No critters in sight.
Sandor Sunneson: boo, we want an encounter
Smon: Jana: "The hobgoblins must have taken the high path over the cliff."
chris107: "lt's go look behind those trees."
Sandor Sunneson: Lets go
Smon: Jana nods.
chris107: "Up there?" Mordred points south
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro happy to scout ahead
chris107: "Along this winding path?"
Sandor Sunneson: once at top
Prince Skylio: "ready when you are"
Smon: You descend and head across the canyon floor to the copse of trees that hides the entry to #10.
chris107: "We will catch you up then sandro, we are not as swift or sure footed as you."
Smon: Scouting ahead, Sandro finds the dark entry tunnel NW through the sandstone to a vaulted chamber (#10)
Smon: floor strewn with leaf litter; there are hewn log benches round the walls
Smon: A rusty shield, upturned, holds cold fire ashes
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, he'll signal the others in
Smon: He sees an old quiver full of arrows beside the left bench; they look rusty.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 18,
chris107: Mordred hurries to catch up.
Smon: Sandro signals the others in, Jana using Light.
Prince Skylio: Before entering Z glances back over his shoulder and looks saddened by the parting of Fangtang
Prince Skylio: then follows
Sandor Sunneson: can he tell how long the fire has been extinguished for approx?
Smon: A short tunnel to NE opens into a chamber strewn w litter
Smon: Survival check WIS+PROF
Prince Skylio rolls 1d20 and gets: 9,
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 12,

Sandor Sunneson: +4=16
chris107: M will ignite his blade with a light cantrip
Smon: In #11 the walls are bear; floor littered w burnt out torches, rusty iron spikes, frayed rope etc
Smon: Something moves at the edge of the light - small, red-eyed.
Smon: The raccoon enters the light.
Smon: Frothing at the mouth
Smon: /roll d20+6
Smon rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 12, (+6) = 18

chris107:
chris107: "Don't mention it guys."
Sandor Sunneson: Shall we decapitate it and ensure it doesn't come back as a zombe??
Prince Skylio: "stop bragging and clean the rabies off your sword"
chris107: "Who is about that makes Zombies?"
Smon: Out of here tunnels lead w & e, the e tunnel comes to a door (#12) and turns s after 20'.
chris107: Mordred hastily cleans his sword.
Prince Skylio: "let's hope there's not an outbreak"
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, take the care free risk attitude, lets press on
Smon: Jana: "There have been Black Sun priests in these parts..."
chris107: "If there are Necromancers about we must slay them."
Sandor Sunneson: It's like a game, there is always evil festering somewhere
chris107: "Nay Sandro, if there be dark Necromany at work we must stop it at all costs."
Smon: Jana: "Which way?"
Sandor Sunneson: OOC-I'm sure if we all started playing black sun characters and winning, good would start festering from everywhere instead
chris107: hehe
Smon: I think the setting has plenty of both.
Sandor Sunneson: south to 13?
chris107: Mordred points to 11
Smon: You're in #11
chris107: oops
Sandor Sunneson: ok,
Prince Skylio:
Sandor Sunneson: 12 first
Prince Skylio: "Let's go right"
Smon: You head east to 12, check the door then open it
chris107: Mordred follows the hulking Orc and strange Monk.
Smon: You see a room w cubbyholes lining the walls, a tattered hammock askew by a rotted table.
chris107: Illuminating their way.
Smon: Jana: "This whole area seems abandoned."
Sandor Sunneson: like the Maarie Celeste
Smon: The tunnel to south has 2 more doors, to #12 and #13.
Sandor Sunneson: lets chec 12 and 13
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 8,
chris107: "Still best to check. We don't want any nasty surprises when we start slaying the Hobgoblins."
Smon: You reach the door to #12. Jana: "I hear something - skittering?"
Smon: From behind the door to 12 you hear skittering, as of numerous insects.
Prince Skylio: "Maybe you should check it out Jana"
Smon: "I'm not a big fan of insects, Zagaar. I hear Orcs like them?"
Sandor Sunneson: oooh, reminds me of I'm a Celeb, get me out of here.
chris107: (can a Thunderwave be cast beyond a door?)
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
Smon: It'll hit the door
Sandor Sunneson: Coulld we even throw something in to start a fire?
Prince Skylio: "You heard incorrectly"
chris107: "If we open the door the insects will get out."
Smon: You notice the door to #14 is of new workmanship, dry and unbloated.
Smon: notably stout, too.
chris107: perhaps if one of you chaps would pull the door open i can thunder them to death?"
Smon: Jana nods.
Sandor Sunneson: ok, does it appear that the door opens out e.g. towards the group or in towatrds the insects?
Smon: Looks like it opens into room.
Smon: Jana goes to the door, turns the handle, pushes and leaps away as it swings open.
chris107: So Mordred could kick it in the let loose a thunder wave beyond?
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will push it open and then backflip out of the way
Sandor Sunneson: or Modred do that
Smon: You see decaying rushes on the floor
Smon: storage niches, heaped remains of a bed
chris107: Mordred is a little staggered at the help he receives but remembers to step forward and BBOOOOMMMMM!
Smon: Dozens of bright green pillbugs, a famous Orc delicacy, skitter over & through the rushes.
chris107: He will stop himself if he realises he's ruining Zagaar's supper in time.
Smon: The thunderwave blasts the fist-sized delicious insects, scattering rushes & bugs, splatted against the far wall.
Sandor Sunneson: Bon appetit Zags
chris107: "oops"
Prince Skylio: "Not all orcs like green pillbugs you fucking racists."
Smon: A few burst that were nearest the blast wave, but most in the room are just flash-killed.
chris107: "Soz Zagaar. get them while they are hot."
chris107:
Sandor Sunneson: haha
chris107: "Not your thang?"
Prince Skylio: "I prefer sheep"
Smon: Jana: "So I hear."
chris107: "Lamb is very tasty esp... oh. You don't mean to ewT DO YOU?"
Sandor Sunneson: \anything in the storage niches?
Prince Skylio: "Mordred are you having a stroke"
Smon: Just a couple dead pillbugs.
chris107: "No thanks."
Smon: The area seems to have been thoroughly stripped of valuables.
Prince Skylio: Zagaar will kick in the door to #14
Sandor Sunneson: ok, we'llcheck 14 out\
Smon: Sandor checks the door to 14 - unlocked - he opens the door,
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro
chris107: Mordred looks somewhat crestfallen that his mighty magic achieved so little.
Smon: there's a click as the door opens inwards and a ceiling-mounted sandbag comes swinging down at his face.
Smon: /roll d20+5
Smon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 13, (+5) = 18
Smon: Sandro
Sandor Sunneson: dex check?
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 2, (+6) = 8
Smon: Would you like to use Deflect Missiles on the burlap sandbag?
Smon: roll d10+7 if so
Sandor Sunneson: will do, is that use of a ki point?
Smon: your sheet - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/alessandro-sandro-monk-fergus-pc.html
Smon: no Deflect Missiles Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon Attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the Attack is reduced by 1d 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged Attack (range 20 feet/60 feet) with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this Attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the Attack.
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d10+7 and gets: 2, (+7) = 9
Sandor Sunneson: I asked because it doesn't mention use of a ki point so wanted to make sure
Smon: Sandro deflects the deadly sandbag that would have squished his fair nose into that of a prize pugilist.
Prince Skylio: "nicely done monk"
Smon: It was hanging from a rope system, clearly a trap.
chris107: "Yes, Bravo Monk. You defeated dirt in a bag."
Smon: The chamber beyond is bare, there are a few scratchings on the floor.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,
Prince Skylio: "speaking of dirtbags Mordred go scan that room for valuables"
Smon: You hear a horn blare outside, in the canyon.
Sandor Sunneson: I feel something is about to happen, be alert!
chris107: (Mordred was slightly jelous of sandro's cool ability )
chris107: "Hobgoblins! To arms lads!"
Smon: Jana: "That was a war horn! We are discovered!"
chris107: Mordred stealthily creeps back towards 10
Smon: Mordred reaches 10 - roll PER WIS+PROF
chris107 rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 16, (+2) = 18
Smon: /roll d4+1
Smon rolls 1d4+1 and gets: 2, (+1) = 3
Smon: Mordred spots 3 Hobgoblins hiding in the bushes at the entrance, heavy x-bows trained into the tunnel. One has a horn.
Smon: Make a Stealth roll Mordred.
chris107: He steps back and whispers this news to his friends.
chris107 rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 14, (+5) = 19
Smon: They haven't seen him.
Smon: They wear heavy black brigandine, similar to the other 5 you fought.
chris107: (His nice snug new armour pays for itself in one roll)
Prince Skylio: "We could possibly try and outwit them. They did blow a horn to initiate a stealth attack after all"
Sandor Sunneson: If Sandro was to go into the open, they fire arrows at him, could he catch each arrow and throw them back for 4 ki points?
Smon: Jana: "They blew a horn to summon allies."
Smon: no, you get 1 reaction/round
chris107: "We will be right behind you, the second you catch their bolts."
Prince Skylio: "Mordred set your owl free through the entrance of the cave to distract them so we can attack"
Sandor Sunneson: ah, I was thinking like Ghengisdon for a minute there
chris107: Mordred gives the foul Orc the look he reserves for all Owl haters.
chris107: But he understands what Zagaar is getting at and releases Misha to draw fire from the Hobgoblins
chris107: "Fly!"
chris107: (if the shock gets one of them to fire and sandro can catch a second we stand a chance of getting out of this tomb.
chris107: "We dare not become trapped in these caves!"
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro has a longbow, will fire a shot in their direction from the inside of the cave
Sandor Sunneson: if they fire into the cave, we can then charge out
Smon: GM: Misha goes flying down the tunnel towards the light and the massive arbalests.
Smon: Make a Bluff roll for Misha
chris107: (Fergus, Don would have just done it and then we would have had to wait 15 minutes whilst he and simon argued over it )
Smon: LOL yeah
chris107: Not sure of the mods for Misha so..

Smon: Are the rest of you charging in behind - if so who's first?
chris107: "YOU BASTARDS!"
chris107: Sandro first to catch a bolt?
Sandor Sunneson: are any of the orcs angry that their colleague shot a bird?
Sandor Sunneson: hobgobs even?
chris107: Then the Orc, owl hating bastard then Mordred
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, lets do it
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will fire his bow at them first
Sandor Sunneson: he has a longbow with 5 quivers
chris107: Mordred watches the Monk stand still infront of the arbalsts with a look of horror
chris107: (But keeps well back)
Sandor Sunneson: I was going to fire from the back of the cave in their direction so they don't see him, then charge them
Sandor Sunneson: and take arrow
Sandor Sunneson: and throw it back
chris107:
Smon: Sandro can attempt a Stealth roll to pull that off
chris107: Kung-Fu is pretty darn cool.
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 5,

Smon: "The hobgoblins will soon be here in strength - I think we should leave."
Prince Skylio: "Could Mitra's succour help with that?" Zagaar points to the obliterated pool of blood which was once Mordred's pigeon
Prince Skylio: "Thank you Jana"
Prince Skylio: 36/36
chris107:
Smon: Jana eyes Mitra. "The Spirit must travel to Celestial realms to reform."
Smon: misha
Smon: Jana nods to Zagaar.
chris107: Mordred ignores the vile sub-human creature and listens for hobgoblins.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 5,
Smon: nothing as yet
chris107: "I think we should find somewhere we can defend more easily should more Hobgoblins arrive. The curtain wall?"
Prince Skylio: "good idea"
chris107: Mordred grabs one of the arbalasts and a handfull of bolts.
Smon: Jana: "I'm of a mind to return to Selatine until the alarm dies down."
Sandor Sunneson: back
chris107: "Then we must abide by your wishes. Your safety is of paramount importance to us."
Smon: Mordred collects 10 bolts & an arbalest - dam 2d10/1d10, reload 1 action
Prince Skylio: Z does the same
Smon: GM: Jana leads you east pass the pool at #2; frogs croak among the lily-pads.
Smon: ok
chris107: Welcome back Fergus
chris107: "Will this likely quicken the attack on salatine?"
Smon: You pass the reeds & algae-matted rocks by the steaming water, and head back along the canyon to the north gap in the curtain wall.
Smon: Jana: "Not if their timing depends on how many hobs they have..."
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
Smon: It's 5pm now
chris107: back to selatine then?
Smon: You sense you are being watched from the gatehouse, but nothing bothers you as you cross the rubble and leave Stonehell canyon.
Smon: You are about 5 minutes on through the woods when you hear two distant horn-blasts.
Smon: Jana: "They found the bodies?"
chris107: from behind?
Smon: yes
chris107: "Make haste!"
Smon: from back in the canyon you think
Smon: You hurry through the woods & emerge onto the plain.
chris107: "We must warn the town of possible attack and be there to defend it."
Smon: Crossing the plain without incident, you reach Selatine around 8pm, fairly footsore.
Prince Skylio: "and get a sandwich"
Smon: Jana: "Sandwiches for all in my Hall!"
Smon: Old Calykka the Cook brings you heaped platters of grub.
chris107: "yay!"
Prince Skylio: "Hooray!"
Smon: You settle down to eat and drink. Jana sips wine.
chris107: Mordred hopes they are not fowl of any description.
Smon: Vuthrik the Deathwalker: "How went the day, milady? Gents?"
Prince Skylio: "Thanks Calykka"
Sandor Sunneson: Looks lovely, yum yum
Smon: Jana frowns: "We met a few vermin, and at last a patrol of 3 hobs..."
chris107: "They killed my owl. Again."
Smon: "...But no sign of an army encamped in the canyon."
chris107: Mordred reports sadly.
Smon: Vuthrik pats Mordred on the shoulder.
chris107: "With all those caves they could hide an army within."
chris107: "Thank you Vuthrik, you are kind. Unlike some others." he gives Zagaar his hardest stare.
Smon: Vuthrik: "News from the north - Epicaste has led our men and joined Shieldbiter at Cahli. Now they wait for the Black Sun."
chris107: "These Black sun are the Necromancers you warned of?"
Smon: Jana nods to Mordred. "You speak wisely... about the caves, I mean."
Smon: "Yes."
Smon: "They have sent spies to our lands - the hero Sandor slew one, the sorceress Princess Ffion Cormarrin, and her warriors, at Dyson's Delve."
Prince Skylio: "any news of Oriax?"
chris107: "Should we try and flush this army out?"
Smon: Vuthrik: "If it is an army..."
chris107: "I like the sound of this sandor fellow."
Smon: Jana nods: "We need to locate the hobgoblin lair, and I must close the Portal the note spoke of."
chris107: "Then prepare the town for an attack?"
chris107: "I am with you lady jana."
Smon: "The hobs are tricky beasts - yes, your training has gone well, and Vuthrik has everyone fit to bear arms ready to fight. But our best men are in the north."
Smon: (you trained the locals for a week)
Smon: Vuthrik: "If they have the numbers they would already have attacked. My guess is these are scouts, waiting for reinforcement."
chris107: (OOC - i came up with an interesting story for Tyrion, brother of Aya in a dream the other night)
Smon: (cool)
chris107: "Then maybe if we wipe out the scouts...."
Smon: Jana: "I have used most of my power today. We can rest, improve the defences, then return in a week once the hobs' alert has diminished? Or if they attack, fight them here."
chris107: "And i'm pretty sure I could feel eyes watching me from within that curtain wall.."
Prince Skylio: "good thinking jana"
Smon: Vuthrik: "Of course they may not know we are short 40 men..."
chris107: "Aye, we must regain our power."
chris107: "Spider killing has drained my magics."
Smon: Jana: "Let us pray they remain unaware. Vuthrik, have as many men as you can on the wall. We must look strong."
Smon: Vuthrik smiles: "Epicaste has taught you well.£"
Smon: Jana: "Also, my brother..."
chris107: "We could put dummies up on the wall?" he says looking at Zagaar.
Smon: Jana nods to Mordred. Vuthrik: "Aye. The womenfolk can aid with that."
chris107: "You have a brother?"
Smon: OOC getting Beau Geste
chris107: Or carry on follow that camel more like
Smon: "Hytirus, once Lord of Selatine. Great in his day."
Prince Skylio: Zagaar ignores his feeble companion
chris107: "Will he be able to aid in the towns deffence?"
Smon: "No - he proved unfit to rule, and was exiled. He had fallen for the power of Thanatos..."
Sandor Sunneson: Is he a MU your brother?
Smon: Vuthrik whistles softly.
Sandor Sunneson: or a wizard?
Smon: "A great Fighter."
Sandor Sunneson: Thanatos?
Sandor Sunneson: I hope he has had his thoughts turned
chris107: "I will not soil my lips with that foul name."
Smon: "The Death God of the Deathwalkers. Vuthrik is the last of them, but he has turned to the light of Mitra."
Prince Skylio: "cool mon"
Smon: Vuthrik: "Mm, yes. Anyway..."
Smon: "...We have much to do. I'll see you in the morning... milady."
Sandor Sunneson: Well they talk about spies, can we trust that he has been penetrated by the Light of Mitra?
Smon: He nods & leaves.
chris107: "The Bright Seraphin oppose all such death cults."
Smon: Jana: "Epicaste vouches for him, and I trust her."
chris107: "So we rest and await an attack?"
Smon: OOC Anything else before I stop?
chris107: I'm good I think, unless M can find the herbs he needs to entice another owl?
Sandor Sunneson: no
chris107: He suggests mounting the two arbalasts on the town walls.
Smon: Yes you can get the ingredients for your ritual
Smon: in the market
chris107: yay!
chris107: Mordred will do so then, in the morning.
Smon: GM: Over the next week you rest, shop and prepare.
Smon: No sign of raiders, the weather is getting hot & dry as you enter the Dry Season
Smon: 7/4/47 You are ready for your next expedition...
