Did I math this correctly? I can Push, Drag, and Lift 1,080 pounds (30(PDL multiplier)x18(Str. score)x2(Aspect of Bear)).

[ +- ] Relevant PHB pages, relevant part in bold
(p. 176)
Lifting and Carrying.
Your Strength score determines the amount of weight you can bear. The following terms define what you can lift or carry.
Carrying Capacity. Your carrying capacity is your Strength score multiplied by 15. This is the weight (in pounds) that you can carry, which is high enough that most characters don't usually have to worry about it. (270*)
Push, Drag, or Lift.
You can push, drag, or lift a weight in pounds up to twice your carrying capacity (or 30 times your Strength score). While pushing or dragging weight in excess of your carrying capacity, your speed drops to 5 feet. (540**)
Size and Strength. [irrelevant]
(p. 50)
At 6th level, you gain a magical benefit based on the totem animal of your choice. You can choose the same animal you selected at 3rd level or a different one.
Bear. You gain the might of a bear. Your carrying capacity (including maximum load and maximum lift) is doubled,
and you have advantage on Strength checks made to push, pull, lift, or break objects. (270*=540/540**=1080)

Sorry for all the questions, len! It's half because Ygne is in detective mode and half because MoMo is really interested in the lore.I was nearly giddy when CancerMan requested plot info for his reward. I was expecting you guys to ask for a boat or a cool sword or something. And saving Jarveena's life? Totally didn't see that coming.
Sometimes GMing can feel like work, but not even once have I felt this way in this group!

Looks good HypCo! Thanks for the RAW text.
Out of curiosity, are you going to RP that as just always having been that tough, or is going to be a surprise to Rygnar that he has suddenly gained so much strength? It would match with the setting that the Isle of Dread that the magic of the island rubs off on the characters.
This goes for anyone else's new Level 6 abilities. Jarveena's new second attack - why is she so fast all of a sudden? Why's Elspa's becoming more wolf-like? Why's Frick's Constitution stronger than ever before? (That one's a bit of a stretch). I guess we know why Moss has psychic powers :) But what of Ygne's new expertise?
No pressure to go out of your way for these things if you don't think it'll add much to the story, but feel free to incorporate these into the game if you like it.

I wouldn't be opposed to magic causing Ygne's new skillfulness. She wouldn't think anything of it though. She's always been this awesome.

Frick's new toughness could be a result of the island, sure. Or a result of Moss healing him with herbs and stuff that are native to the island. Lord knows he's had to be healed enough!

Oh, wow. A boat didn't even cross my mind, a cool sword definitely did though, but ultimately the wish for Jarveena fit Rygnar's character more.
I don't see Rygnar being surprised, especially when it comes to feats of strength, I view Rygnar as thinking he was always this strong. I also don't see him having the mental capacity to notice or care about his before and after strength; to him, he's always imagined nothing was out of his "strength zone".

The constant fighting on this island has awakened more of Elspa's feral blood. In addition, having been shunned from the village and settling in a cave harkened back to her former lifestyle of fending for herself outside of city walls, where she had to be very primitive in order to survive. Whether or not this experience has exacerbated her nightmares, or her dreams are a reflection of her current state of mind, is undecided.

It is armor made from coins. It is pretty shitty armor, but copper has a high market value among the islanders, or they might just appreciate getting it back. It's also possible it serves some other purpose.

If you asked her, she wouldn't know an exact number. If you asked me, I wouldn't know an exact number. Probably late teens, or a bit more? I'm not sure what would be appropriate. I'm certain that her mental age and physical age do not match, but I've never given it a whole lot of thought, honestly.

Seem like there were some unanswered questions between Ygne and Khiva. If you'd like to retcon that Khiva had answered them or that Ygne had asked additional questions, I'm okay with that. It might be narratively cleaner than hopping back and forth between the village as things come up. Just let me know what you need to know in OOC.
Jun 6, 2017 10:19 am
I personally don't mind.
If people want to know then maybe we ask them during an unwritten scene, during a short or long rest as we gather provisions?
The only question that I can think of is why the pirates are working for this evil god if death.

Let's retcon in the answers to these two questions. If you like, you can assume Ygne has already told you about these, or if you'd rather RP it, Ygne can remember the answers after the fact in a typical Ygne-like fashion. MoMo is welcome to retcon in counter questions.
Khiva stiffens her back at the mention of the Pirates, and The Seventh rolls his shoulders as if loosening his arms for battle.
"The [fucking!]† Pirates. Before Farshore [fucked!] everything up, they had a base of operations to prey on the Farshore traders. We used to war with them every so often, and defending against a pirate raid was good training to teach our youth the ways of defending The Wall."
"After Farshore, they were stuck as everyone else. They foolishly tried sending expeditions to destroy the black pearl, thinking it would free them. We think it was Ulupoka whispering in their ear, guiding their hand. But, the black pearl defends itself. The jungles are so deadly, so full of monsters and their undead brethern, that they never made headway. Some of the survivors of Farshore made refuge there, but we let them be, not wanting to divert our focus from defending the wall."
"Their base is on the most southwestern island‡ and therefore get more shipwrecks than any other, and now they have grown in strength. They have salvaged and repaired that mighty floating island that attack us last night, with the Thunder Cannons. They have tamed the Lionjays that roost near their island as war mounts. And they have knowledge they should not have. How did they know to attack us during our the challenge ceremony last night? This all reeks of [fucking!] Ulupoka's interference."
The Seventh is silent during this conversation, but his anger is palpable.
† She switches to low atlantean for this one cussword, always followed by spitting.
‡ On the skin map, this is the island closest to the "N" that indicates north on the compass at the bottom left corner.

Okay!
Ygne sucks on her teeth, deep in thought. "So, how would you attack the pirates, if you could spare the warriors? That's far away, an' I don't see boats here."

The Seventh examines you carefully as he speaks.
"Building boats and killing pirates is not difficult. When the time is right, we will remind them that they are the pigs and we are the tigers."
