Jeff, how much time HAS passed since Histra was trapped? I lost track while we were all in Mirrorville.

By the way, Histra's plight actually woke me up in the middle of the night on Sunday! I'm so invested in all these characters!

[Jeff]

In truth, Belarin wouldn't know...very precisely. But it's likely to be within two days' time.

[Dave W.]

(Adamant and Belarin will have to be filled in later)

And Histra... Adamant wanted me to remind you not to forget Histra...

[Brian]

Okay, gents. Time to gather the items we might want identified by Kurra and put them in some sort of order.

Big Red has the lightning javelin (which isn't his, per se. He's simply holding it for the moment) and the transmutation potion we found near the slaadi water bowl.

Shorak has looked at the chest that may only be opened in the dark.

What does anyone else have that they'd l ike to add to the list?

[Darren]

Kal's still carrying around this glass rod and a couple of coins that may not have any properties to them, but they're part of personal quests and he's probably not going to share them with the group....

[Dave W.]

I don't think Adamant has anything that needs ID'ing. He's got the glaive but we know what that is...

[Joe]

Streko only picked up a bunch of coins, if I recall. He would ask Belarin to see if any of them are magical (aka cursed), but nothing Kurra needs to inspect.

[Ken]

Belarin has the lantern.

[Brian]

Cool. Elvis? Dave Bean? Do your characters have anything you want Kurra to try and identify?

[Elvis]

Nope. All good.

[Dave B.]

Kurra already has the Sulatar boomerang. Shorak does still have the Sulatar wizard's knife, which he knows is magical, but does still need to be identified. I guess it couldn't hurt to have the vials with liquid flame properly identified.

Just FYI - I will want to change some of Streko's spells if we are getting another night of long rest prior to moving on. Also, hoping Kurra can do something for Streko's HOLEY robes, if possible...

You can go ahead and pick spells for the next day (as can Adamant), provided you don't plan on doing any spell-flinging during the night. (And should there be unexpected combat in the middle of the night, I can always check the document history to see what you had prepared the day before.)

[Joe]

I'm not allowed to make any changes to the document, so I can't change my spell list.

[Jeff]

That spreadsheet isn’t permissioned to anyone. Anyone with the link should be able to change it. Try another browser or refresh or something? Nothing’s changed with the spreadsheet.

Something must have. There is a View Only Tab on it now. It says I need to request permission to edit the table. I did. Not sure what else to do. This just happened yesterday for the first time. I'm all confused as I haven't changed anything on my computer. Sigh...I'll ask my roommate, who knows about computers.

[Jeff]

Okay, try again?

Refresh first maybe. I toggled around the View/Edit mode.

That did it. Thank you!

[Jeff]

Would like to give anyone a chance to react to Brack's information. In any case, tomorrow I'll move us to the next morning.

[Ken]

Jeff, doesn't Histra speak Draconic? Ken isn't sure, but Belarin would know, especially with his recent training.

[Jeff]

He knows that she does.

[Brian]

Regarding these bugs, I swear we obtained an ointment or something that when applied acted as an insect repellent, but I can't find any in Melethos's inventory. Does anyone else have it, or am I imagining things?

[Jeff]

Click on the Misc. tab of the DE Stats document.

[Brian]

The bag of holding! Gotcha. Found them. Thanks.

[Darren]

Okay, I'm dumb, and I just looked at the map....

We can't actually WALK to the hut, can we? The bridge stops before the hut? Or am I looking at this wrong?

[Jeff]

Earlier it was observed that the lizardfolk probably didn't make these bridges, and most of you know that lizardfolk can swim very well (even though they breathe air, like iguanas). Which means they seem to prefer to walk on land when there's land, but a bit of water is no barrier to them.

Which is to say, yes, there will come a point when the bridge ends before reaching the hut.

That said, you also do not all seem to be in common purpose at present.

[Darren]

Right. Well, I was going to address that, and then I realized....what are we doing? Okay, gonna address this in character now.

That's a huge help, Jeff. Thanks.

"Okay," Kal says, looking again at the hut. "New plan. We take the dinghy over to that outcropping. Thul, Shorak, you stay at the end of the bridge and watch our backs. Sem, Belarin, and I will cross the bridge and see what is happening at the hut. We'll be in plain view of the Dragonfly, so if need be, she can level the damn place. As we pass the Dragonfly, I think we should make a quick stop to give Captain Brack the other ring. We'll fill them in on our plan, too. That will keep us in communication." Before stepping back into the dinghy, Kal says, "Are we agreed?"

I'll be looking for stated actions, in any case, but I'm not very clear on who's going where. Kal is telling Thul and Shorak to "stay at the end of the bridge." Doesn't that mean they're not getting in the boat? And that only Kal, Belarin, and Sem are?

[Elvis]

I assumed the bridge to the hut.

[Jeff]

The one that ends at water and doesn't actually reach all the way to the hut?
