Travers gets back to the market Square after wandering for awhile, heading into the thundering lizard he gets a mug of ale from the bar and speaks to his travelling companions listening to the stories they have from the day.

Realising he could have done more with his day he decides to find out if there are any sporting arenas or tracks in the city he may be able to visit whilst here in the city asking around the clientele and the bar staff.

Afterwards he heads back over to the house of gentle repose to get a good night's sleep.

OOC:
happy to keep moving forwards, will have to keep haggling tomorrow.

"Wooooo hooooo~~" Nebula spins around the room, dancing from table to table, until something in her stomach wobbles and she feels her body revolting against her. "Wooo hoo-Urk!!"

A short bathroom breaker and the joyful tiefling appears to have been replaced with a melancholic one. "You guys!" she blubbers to her recent drinking companions "You're the besht! What would I doo without you!?!". She sees Jim reaching for her as she begins to fall off her chair and puckers her lips, expecting him to kiss her. However, the only kiss she recieves is by the ground, before Jim rights her up again.

After a few more hours of drinking, she reluctantly retires to bed upon Ha'aroo's sound advice, but not before an outburst of sobbing that she loved her new group of friends SO MUCH.

Once she enters her room, she falls face-first on the bed and instantly begins snoring.
OOC:
I'll forgo any info gathering check tonight

You company, and especially half-orc Travers attracted a female half-orc pries of Torm by name Undril Silvertusk .
You learned that she is a representative of the Order of the Gauntlet and also newly arrived in Port Nyanzaru (she used ship though).
She needs to deliver herself plus a packet of dispatches from her superiors to Camp Vengeance. Undril was led to believe she could simply buy a horse in the city and ride to the camp, but now that she sees the terrain and conditions, that’s clearly not possible. She hopes to join any expedition headed up the River Soshenstar.

She shares with you the map of Chult as much as she have it
OOC:
1 hex is approx 10 miles, white area is unexplored/unknown

Ha'aroo asks Undril as she talks to the group "Where can we find you at in case we find any quick method to travel you can use?"

Ha'aroo turns to his group, "is anyone good at making copys of maps? I would like to have an extra copy of this if possible.
OOC:
DM a few questions for you. Is she giving us this map or is she just showing it to us? Also would i be able to make an extra copy of it using my diplomats kit or is there another kit and skills that are needed?
Apr 4, 2022 6:33 pm
OOC:
DM you mentioned Pacan waking for the moment so I am going to continue as if Ha'aroo wakes up after the nights rest if thats ok. I dont want to go ahead of you in the story but at the same time I dont want to wait for you as you are waiting for us.
Once back in his room he checks the different spots he had hidden his gold to make sure his room was not raided while he was out and then goes to sleep. After a nights rest Ha'aroo grabs a bite to eat for breakfast and waits for Nebula and his sister to get done before making their way to the other inn to meet up with the rest of the group taking two gold with him.

Undril stay in Thundering Lizard and it would be obvious you could either find her at Thundering Lizard until she join any expedition.
OOC:
She certainly need the map for herself. I would say you need Cartographer's Tools to copy the map. Sounds about right to me. In any case I think during the night as you were drinking and knowing you only have been 6 days it didn't seem relevant to you. Or did it?

In any case forgot to add
Tenday 1. Day 2. Morning
OOC:
What do you do? You have same options as you had yesterday or anything else you want to do/explore.
Additionally both inn innkeepers recommend to go see dinosaur racing (SE part of the city outside the city walls). dinosaur racing only takes place in the morning when not yet too hot
Apr 4, 2022 8:09 pm
"Urghhh..." Nebula moans, holding her head. "Why is the sun so bright in this land..." Her face is more grey than blue this morning as she slumps after the rest of the group in their morning activity.

"Watching... the races.. sounds like I can stay very still, and maybe in the shade. That sounds like a great idea" She smiles to the innkeeper, heavy dark bags sagging around her eyes.
OOC:
Is there a cost?
Apr 5, 2022 12:31 am
Pacan smiled at the cook as she enjoyed some of the interesting and unusual foods. She was enjoying watching the city wake up outside the inn when Ha'aroo, Nebula, and Lasme meet them there.

Oh! Good morning! How was your evening last night? I had a very lovely rest here, and heard some positively fascinating things about the jungles around here! Did you know that a green dragon died near here?! she says happily.
Apr 5, 2022 1:57 am
Jim comes over to the Thundering Lizard from the Kaya’s House of Repose in an easy stroll. He up and read to move at the break of day. He smiles as he approaches to see others. Well lets hope this day is adventurous. And if the weather holds well we can enjoy it.
Apr 5, 2022 2:13 am
A Green Dragon!?! Oh wow how fascinating! I wonder how old it was. Do you know if the locals took it down or did they live in peace with it?

Last night was nice. We met this nice half orc lady last night. I think she might have had a thing for Travers but I could be wrong. She needed some help going to a camp maybe a week or two from here. Hmm what else. There are some pretty nice shops in the market district but everything is super expensive. The shop keepers are ok with talking them down in price. Youll go broke fast here if you pay for what they ask for." as Ha'aroo gives off a chuckle.


Looking over at the group "do you guys have any clue on what you might want to do today? Im thinking i might either go to the dinosaur races or possibly a guided tour of the old town.

When Nebula mentions money regarding dinosaur racing, innkeeper laughs. You could waste your money betting, but race takes place in the streets, no entree fee. More over, one race a day is run buy non-professionals and they prefer foreigners, so you could even have a chance to ride a dino for free of not afraid of it.
Apr 5, 2022 10:36 am
Actually to boost things up once anyone of PCs show up at the race they learn that they could bet using betting rules below and they could participate "foreigner run" once a day for free where they will be competing to each other but not against professionals.
Rules also below
Each PC could do either or both: betting and/or racing

Travers enjoys some breakfast before meeting the others.

Ha'aroo what? I didn't notice?

Visibly excited about racing he doesn't stand still whilst everyone discusses plans.

we can tour the city tomorrow, c'mon dinosaur racing, I've never really seen dinosaurs. We might even be able to have a go racing
Apr 5, 2022 11:52 am
OOC:
Yes, don't forget - everyone has inspiration every morning for staying in proper inn. You could use it after any D20 roll gain advantage (Spending your inspiration gives you advantage on that roll.) it is useless if you have advantage already
Apr 5, 2022 12:58 pm
Racing - dinosaurs? That sounds absolutely thrilling! I would love a chance to try riding one of them! Pacan says, almost giddy sounding at the opportunity.
OOC:
Definitely down to be a pilot! Let's race!
Apr 5, 2022 1:33 pm
"I think the both of you have the right idea! Ill do some touring some other time. I have never seen a dinosaur let alone rode one before. I gotta see what they look like. Hey Jim and Lasme are you guys down to check out some dinosaurs?"

Ha'aroo joyfully strides down to the dino track with the group (when they are ready to go) and marvels over the humongous beasts. Stunned that these creatures actually exists in real life and not just in fairy's tales. After a moment or two of watching people ride these large creatures Ha'aroo finds it very hard not to ride the dinosaurs "I think i am in! I want to compete with you all if you want to race!"
OOC:
DM is there only 4 dinosaurs or can we pick the same option and only 4 of us can race at a time?
Apr 5, 2022 1:36 pm
OOC:
OK anyone who want to race rad the rules twice (I've just fixed it), choose a dino and start rolling your animal handling, noting with each roll if you are doing lashing or not. Keep rolling (you could just do edit your post and add another roll) until you believe you reach 300 foots.

You know what - just for example I will show how another NPC with animal handling +2 did it on a Dimetrodon (DC 8)
Round1: 30
Round2: 30 (failed animal handling)
Round3: 80 (lashing success, dino con save success)
Round4: 130 (lashing success, dino con save success)
Round5: 180 (lashing success, dino con save success)
...

Rolls

Animal handling normal - (1d20+2)

(15) + 2 = 17

Animal handling normal - (1d20+2)

(1) + 2 = 3

Animal handling lashing - (1d20+2, 1d20+2)

1d20+2 : (3) + 2 = 5

1d20+2 : (15) + 2 = 17

Animal handling lashing - (1d20+2, 1d20+2)

1d20+2 : (1) + 2 = 3

1d20+2 : (14) + 2 = 16

Animal handling lashing - (1d20+2, 1d20+2)

1d20+2 : (10) + 2 = 12

1d20+2 : (1) + 2 = 3

Round 3 con save - (1d20+2)

(14) + 2 = 16

Round 4 con save - (1d20+2)

(12) + 2 = 14

Round 5 con save - (1d20+2)

(11) + 2 = 13

OOC:
There are enough of each dino type - you could all pick the same type or different it is irrelevant
Apr 5, 2022 1:46 pm
Pacan looks over all of the animals with an appraising eye, marveling at their build, wondering if she would ever have a chance to study them more. Eventually, she settles on a Deinonychus and heads to the track. She watches some of the riders testing lashes and shudders, unwilling to even consider it as an option.

When the race starts, she focuses on keeping the animal on track.
OOC:

Given the speed of my dino, it would take 8 rounds of success to cross the finish line, so starting off by rolling those 8 and will add extras as needed.

3 failures the first time, rolling 3 more.
2 failures, rolling 2 more.
1 failure, rolling 1 more.
1 failure, rolling 1 more.
1 failure, rolling 1 more.

Race outcomes:
Total Tally: 320' in 16 Rounds
Round 1: Success!
Round 2: Success!
Round 3: Failure!
Round 4: Success!
Round 5: Success!
Round 6: Success!
Round 7: Failure!
Round 8: Failure!
Round 9: Success!
Round 10: Failure!
Round 11: Failure!
Round 12: Failure!
Round 13: Success!
Round 14: Failure!
Round 15: Failure!
Round 16: Success and across the line!
