The Manor

Ok been thinking about it. We'll go with Trapmaster. We can say I got some good experience with them at the Field House and I can use that experience in the future.

I updated my sheet for the gold. Let me know, were potions 30 gold? I'll delete it if we need another one. Also whatever the food and drink costs.

So what's avail in town? I assume I can get a shortbow and some arrows or a small crossbow. Maybe someone here can teach me to make my own in case. Does the manor have the materials or arrows? Is there something that could help me stay alive in combat that won't slow me down or ruin my agility? I don't think Armor works the same in this game as it does in D&D so I am unsure if there is something beneficial.

For armor, in straight TD2e, there is just armor, Armor Master, and magic armor. I believe Psybermagi differentiates between unarmored and just armor. I am pretty sure you already have light armor, like classic leather armor. So, you're probably good on that for now.

I know Psybermagi proposed an advanced rule that gives distinction to Light Armor and Heavy Armor, but I don't remember if we're doing that or not. I didn't worry about it too much, as it wouldn't really affect Skeeve.

On the other hand, getting a bow or sling is a great idea. Pick whichever you think gives Ealdwig the best aesthetic. Note that you only get to use one die for the attack until you spend 8XP for the weapon proficiency.

From what I know, you can get pretty much any mundane item in town (supplies, weapons, armor, toolkits), magical supplies, potions, and scrolls. They do have various magical items and trinkets that they will lend out and occasionally give out (like the spell gem and tablet tracker Skeeve uses with the teleport pads, and the homunculus Ealdwig now has), but real magic you keep is acquired through adventuring (like Blornvid's new multi-weapon).

At least, that's what I have figured out thus far.

Cool! Good to know on the magic items! I will definitely keep that in mind when fall into actual money. Right now, even minor stuff is outside the budget for us. But it's good to have things to look forward to!

Since Skeeve has spent enough time working to get that signet done, he's kinda interested in getting to actually use it. So, he's up for doing more cleanup work at the Manor. He'll recommend they check in with Slyfir and Witic to see what else needs doing.

On the other hand, he isn't opposed to doing some more recon if there are new patterns to check. Also, he hasn't forgotten about the valley of Duende with their night terror problem. Maybe Ealdwig would have some fun there?
