Yes, that is a rule.

Oh, no, Sylviel, for *difficult* questions of the locals, Alisandra uses Intimidation skill, not Persuasion. ;-)

Persuasion, Intimidation, or Deception, she's good at all of 'em!

Can we divvy some of the treasure? Alisandra can buy exactly 10 gp of stuff at the moment.

You'll find that Sylviel is both very insightful and very persuasive. :p

Paladins get absurd proficiencies lol.

I am no expert in 5e but I though Paladin's could still cure diseases:

Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multipIe diseases and neutralize multipIe poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending hit points separately for each one.

Would that not work?

The disease is already cured, the ability damage it inflicted is not.

I'm thinking bed rest is the solution.

Yeah I think extended rest is probably the solution at this point.

Once again, I apologize for the disappearance. I should be alright now...really trying to get back into my games and my art. This last week had been even harder with the loss of a beloved pet and my teen having to be hospitalized due to mental health issues again...and yeah. I need a distraction from real life lol.

Ah, I'm so sorry Lorrain, we're happy to be distracting.

I'm a licensed clinician, and one of the people in my county authorized to write exactly those sorts of psychiatric holds. Not the same as being there, as I'm always there on the other end of exchange, but I've been there countless times. Adding a pet dying to the middle of that whirlwind?

*Hugs*

No need to apologize, Lorrain; you've got some serious RL concerns, and those always come first. Thanks for keeping us updated. I hope the new year brings you some relief.

Blessings, Lorrain. Take care of yourself as well as your loved ones. (We all too often forget to do this!)

That is a very rough hand, like the DM said I hope that the new year brings something better.

Expect a post from me this weekend; I've been busier than normal this week and haven't found much time to post.

That was a really good idea.

Looks like Rissa will be making Potions of Darkvision until our companions return.

I get that same answer every time for Tauster, but the dude is always sus.

Jinx, you would not be able to "look around Tauster's place," as he did not let you inside and only cracked the door open enough to talk to you.

I'm assuming no one in town is selling the formula for Potions of Darkvision.

I am a trained Herbalist, do I know the formula, or can I learn it?

Still here. I've been back and forth with the GM about the scrolls! Just letting you guys know!

Little update: Things have slightly calmed down with real life! The teen has been home for a week now...and still just as chaotic as ever...unfortunately, due to her volatile attitudes and such...she is going to be moving down to Missouri in February to live with other family who can still provide a bit of a safety net while she figures life out while also forcing her to be an adult (she's 18...and basically tries to manipulate me and my SO to get what she wants and only wants to be an adult if it benefits her). I think taking her out of her comfort zone will be a good growing experience for her (I could be wrong). I have two other, younger kids to think of and her self destruction is just not good for them to be around.

I appreciate you all and thank you for the great distraction. I am hoping to fully flesh Lorrain out now that I know more about Bladesingers and such along with maybe posting up some more art (Rissa I haven't forgotten about you!! It's just been insane lol!).

Once everyone is ready, we can proceed to your return to the tunnels.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 42):

I'm set

Can I assume Rissa gives Alisandra enough money to buy the things she mentioned, including items for the party that we'll store in the cottage?

Anything you need.

Was I able to get any leads on potions of Darkvision?

Otherwise, I'm good to go.

Rissa, you are unable to craft a potion of darkvision, as you don't know that spell.

Alisandra, can you post a list of what you want to purchase? I'll let you know what is available from your list and the total cost.

Snagger and Syviel's suits of armor will be ready for them before you are set to leave Milborne.

Personal to Alisandra:

• silvered rapier - 125 gp
• silvered crossbow bolts (x10) - 100 gp 5 sp

Total of Alisandra's gear = 225 gp 5 sp

Group gear (mostly stored in the cottage, except the antitoxins, which would be kept on each person):

• antitoxin (x7) - 350 gp
• climber's kits (x7) - 175 gp
• miner's picks (x3) - 6 gp
• shovels (x7) - 14 gp
• dried rations (210 PC days' worth) - 105 gp
• hogshead (250 L) barrels of fresh water (we'll inspect the water) (x3) - guessing an empty barrel's about 10 gp, so 30 gp
• torches (x300) - 3 gp
• tinderbox (x10) - 5 gp

Total of group gear = 688 gp

The rations and water are both 30 days of food and drink for a 7-person group, in case we get into a part of the Underdark where we cannot forage/buy/hunt food. The torches are only about 12-1/2 days' light, but many characters (e.g., me) can make light.

There are eight people in the party, not seven.
