Jim knows how to use a Machete and which way is north. Well, that is about it. Yep. He isn't at all a great guide. He does know how to survive is all. He doesn't know a lot about plants, animals, and/or monsters. Jim is not a GUIDE. He does know how to follow the river. Doesn't take a genius to do that. Jim is not one the smartest people around.

OK, sorry for spoiling and let's move on. Jim's +4 at survival is indeed good and will certainly be of a value.

Now important notice.

Resource management. Every player have to keep track of their water usage, Insect repellent uses, etc. I will not be micro managing that. I may at some moment in the game say something like "anyone who do not have Insect repellent applied at the moment suffer this...". I don't want to micro manage your sheets, but feel free to ask me any questions

As a player I like to know, but you may ignore this:

Sorry all hectic day yesterday so missed most everything.

Travers would offer some money to share a tent with someone and purchase some insect repellant (15 seems to be the average so I'll do that) already has two waterskins but will buy another couple to refill from the barrel and purchase a healers kit, some soap and a bag of either caltrops or ball bearings (which ever I can find), a net and travelling clothes.

If he can find one would also purchase a climber kit. (25GP)

Should be 9GP 4SP and 3CP

Assuming you will ask it - you can't do Insight on Ape. If you describe an action of your PC related to animal and I feel that action could fail, I will have you roll animal handling instead.

could everyone remind me if they have mule. I found Jim and Sharagwyn purchased mules. Anyone else?

i bought a mule

I did not purchase a mule.

Right, Nebula and Ha'aroo got donkey . I will for simplicity regard them all as mules if you don't mind.
P.S. I'm assuming you are each holding your own animal by a rope. I will roll a hidden wisdom roll for each of 4 animals to see how they react in the situation.

I too have a donkey and sure you can call it a mule.

I'm just using stat block of a mule for rolls I do on behalf of animals
And on map battle map they look the same. But we could imagine they look different

P.S. The roll I called "Nebula str check" was a typo - it mean to say Nebula mule str check - it is DC for nebula should she decide to stop her animal

@GeneCortess I see we have understanding, the mule on left of you is your. I've positioned you based on your "Jim just steps next to his mule" so I could put you in from of your mule free of movement, but sounds like it does not matter this time

Map is fine. We aren't robots and it always perfect to what we think. It is what is. Jim corrected his position to where he wants to be in the post. That is fairly much in front of his mule.

I'm sorry if there was any confusion, but I never bought a mule. Also, here is a token to use for Shara.

Note: for characters or groups of enemies that roll the same initiative I will randomly chose order (roll a dice using Tools)

Do I need to repeat the check for my donkey or is he stopped now?

Better ski while being pulled. Otherwise a bad way to collect plants.

I think yes the donkie still try to get away.

Q: Should players be rolling potential attacks and damage?
A: IDK I would prefer yes, players do roll both to hit in case of ready action and potential damage both in case of ready and in case of enemy save required to determine if damage is taken

Corner case: player cast toll the dead on first round and don't yet know if it will be a 1d8 or 1d12.
Solution: player roll both 1d8 and 1d12.
Note: yes, I know it could cause metagaming if you one player see other player 1d8 rolled more than 1d12 and chose different target for his attack, but this is non-essential. I value efficiency of combat peace over player ability to meta game combat decisions.

A note on spell components
"Nebula's eyes turn dark and starry as she raises her hands ..."
Spell Thaumaturgy have "Components: V", it means that technically it does not require PC to "rise hands", but only "chanting of mystic words".
I'm thrilled if a player want PC to add somatic component just for role-play purpose and OK if player do not describe the components, but just assume they included (i.e. we assume Nebula is chanting of mystic words).

P.S. I just wanted to point you out that rising her hands is something Apes will see and I will guess how an an aggressive ape interprets rising hands.

I added my attack roll to the post :)
