Yeah there is at least 3 of us capable of hunting, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem, unless the area has no game.  We should have some trail rations left over from the previous bandit camp, and 'general camp equipment' too, likely pots and pans and such.  And Erlin is willing to toss some moolah to the Big Fellah if it helps keep his hide intact.

So you would rather spend days gathering supplies than a few gold pieces? 2.4gp gets you a weeks worth of supplies.

Meanwhile hunting and gathering takes about 8 hours a check and provides food based on DC: DC 10 base + 1 person for every +2 on your check.

Hmmm, I guess we'll buy our rations.

For sure!

Oh I do love stirring the pot...

Stir that pot!

Uh, unless we are dirt poor or sick of trail rations, we should just buy the supplies and be done with it.

So is the new plan to go recruit the fey to help scout the camp?

Well, we can go to the camp, and if we come across the fey we helped we will try to recruit them; otherwise I think we're just going to try to attack the camp.  I am guessing we will not get Kesten and his men to help us?

As a player, I'm assuming Kesten's role is to protect the outpost for us and nothing more.

If our travel path takes us near the fey, then recruiting whatever aid we can would be smart. Otherwise, tackle the bandits as planned.

Yeah, I figured as much

Seconded

Yep

Kesten's duty is to protect the outpost. You can always try and convince him otherwise but it would have to be convincing to put his men and mission at risk.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to fey or bandits we go! (Oh, wait, sorry, that's Erlin's job!)

Pick a hex and I'll get you moving.

B4 the radishes

Yum! Radishes!

Just an FYI GM, I am still awaiting Svetlana to answer this.

@Radgonda - Answered.

@Erlin - What are you doing at the radishes? Or are you just passing through on the way to the  bandit camp?

Just passing through; we haven't done anything with the mites yet so they won't help us...

Yes, just passing through on our way to the bandit camp.

Okay, I'm just gonna share this:

Burning Hands * - Renee's trademark
Crafters Fortune - The target is struck by inspiration and gains a +5 luck bonus on its next Craft skill check. (Haven't seen much on the crafting front, is this being used at all?)
Identify (Cause knowing is half the battle!)
Mage Armor * - How she's not dead (2 hours!)
Monkey Fish - Uh, why did she choose this? Your hands and feet alter to make you better at climbing and swimming. You gain a 10-foot climb speed and swim speed.
Shield (More AC)
Summon Monster 1 (Summon fluffy to attack!)

Spell: Windy Escape (Me only, harder to kill for 1 round!)
Spell: Enlarge Person - Increased weapon damage by 1 step and reach, but minimal advantages. (Honestly, it's like they nerfed the rules to neuter this spell, Medium to large is +8 Strength, +4 Constitution, -2 Dexterity, and usually a natural armor increase). The variant version put out by Distant Horizons Games captured this effect to actually be useful.

2d6 to 2d8 - you get maybe 2 more points of damage on average. You to hit bonus is a wash - +1 Str -1 Size. Unless you have combat reflexes, the extended reach of 10' isn't going to do more that grant you own AoO when a creature closes for melee.


I'm sure there was a valid reason, but some of the spells don't sound very handy considering Renee's purpose... Why increase your movement for Swim and Climb, unless that is going to grant the +8 bonus for those skills, otherwise a -1 to both skill checks is an automatic "Nope, no way, not gonna do that!"

Direct Attack - Burning Hands
Indirect Attacks or actions - Summon Monster I
Defense: Mage Armor & Shield

Utility: The rest with various circumstantial uses...

I mean, I don't play wizards often, but relying on one spell for offense is a recipe for trouble.

Erlin - Summon Monster is the best Renee has, but due to a duration of 2 rounds, and has to be within 30' of Renee, probably not going to be useful.

I'm gonna be honest, Enlarge Person doesn't have as much use as I'd like. Any recommendations for the group collective?

Monkey fish???

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic...pells/m/monkey-fish/

Well I would trade Monkey Fish out for grease, great battlefield control, and would work great for handling a lot of mooks coming our way.

I would also take snowball or magic missile instead of enlarge.

Perhaps expeditious retreat would be good as well.
