General discussion

Hmmm so is there anything I should know to catch me up? Seems like we need to find somewhere to rest. Have you all been doing that in looked rooms in the castle? Or is there another safe zone?

We've only just gotten to the castle, this is the first time we've needed rest.

Ah ok, so leaving the castle is most likely the best bet.

Perhaps. It was also a great deal of effort to get here... involving a self-driving carriage. If that carriage isn't there to take us back to town, leaving the castle will require walking through the forest.

I'm going to be absolutely slammed over the weekend working on an epic Star Wars - The Force Awakens birthday cake. Won't be able to post, sorry!

I am presuming we are all busy this week :). I will propose that for resting we consider using the secret room I found, maybe the door can be closed and then hard to find?

Definitely a proposal worth considering! If we can find out more about what that contraption does, that is. I'm sure Victor can figure it out. ;-)

Alright, sorry for the long silence. December was crazy, but I'm back in it now.

I'm all for a rest. Grizel's resources are exhausted.

Can she dismiss Alastor even though they're currently separated or does she need to see him or something? They have a telepathic link but I don't know what the range is on that.

Edit: Ok, I just checked the spell description for Find Steed:

Sounds fine. A long rest will restore spell slots.

So long rest is what its sounding like??

Sorry for lack of posts again, just had our second kid last Friday. I may need to drop this game. I'm stretched a little thin with games as it was. Now I've lost some posting availability.

Congratulations! :-)

Congrats!

Congrats! Stick around if you prefer, I'll bare in mind that you're busy

Congrats!

Congratulations PhantomNimbus!
Would taking a watch shift interrupt a long rest?

If your okay with some silence I'll hang out.

Biscuitfiend, will you be imposing penalties for sleeping in armor? Grizel is in chain mail.

"A long rest is a period of extended downtime, at least 8 hours long, during which a character sleeps or performs light activity: reading, talking, eating, or standing watch for no more than 2 hours. If the rest is interrupted by a period of strenuous activity—at least 1 hour of walking, fighting, casting spells, or similar adventuring activity— the characters must begin the rest again to gain any benefit from it."

No penalties for sleeping in armour. That's too much realism for me! Unless you as players would like to impose it?
