You can only benefit from a long rest once per 24 hours, so you'd have to wait until night time to do actually gain any benefits from it.

A short rest isn't meant to be a nap, so you could use it to do some non-intensive tasks. The idea is that you are hunkering down in one spot and tending to wounds, mending and cleaning equipment, and getting your head back in the game. You have time to read a book, talk to those around you, drink/eat - even crafting a simple dagger from the claw could be done during the short rest. Mechanically, you can spend hit dice and recover abilities or other resources that recharge on a short rest.

I thought we were taking a short rest. If we're taking a long rest, there's no need to spend hit dice.

Yep, Starrbeardo amended his post to reflect a short rest. Carry on.

OK im back! Sorry for not posting much the past few days. Iman will take the 7+2 for his HP. Ill roll for my short rest too.

Looked at the player's handbook and it says a tinderbox is worth 5sp. Is that how much Gavun would give me for it, or how much I would have to give him if I wanted to buy another?

He'll toss one in for free. "We still believe in the old Arkasian hospitality here! Just tell yer friends about us, we'll call it even!"

I think Pageflap is looking to make a few coppers selling his.

That's awesome and I'll totally have Pageflap shop there again if I can, but he's trying to sell his tinderbox since he uses prestidigitation. He also asked about the spell slinger.

Hey guys, I've recently been having difficulties posting as much as I'd like and as the game merits. I know that this has caused mayor slowdowns. You've all been great about it, especially Ian.

So in the interest of keeping a healthy game going for all I'll be stepping down. It's truly been a great experience, at least for me! Ian is an amazing DM, and you have all been amazing co-players! I hope we might be able to cross paths in the future once I'm able to get some things settled irl. See you around and merry Christmas to everyone! :D

Sad to see you go, but I hope things get better for you. Merry Christmas and I hope you get to play a good game of D&D sometime in the future!

Have a good one, see you around

Take care Ramen!

For everyone remaining, are you open to bringing in a new player?

For Raishe, I imagine him reopening the vacant temple and setting up shop there. He could provide spell casting services to you guys and continue to act as spiritual advisor, but would spend the rest of the adventure revitalizing the temple for the betterment of the community, and not come with you on dungeon delves and such.

Heh, as long as he can heal us up when/if we get back!

Good luck to you, Ramen!

Len, did you have extra players apply when you started the game?

Oh, and while I have you all here, I'll still be posting, but there may not be a lot of depth. I mostly post at work, and I started a long weekend today. I work a couple days next week, but then I'll be off until the start of the new year. It's a heavy burden, but I have seven vacation days to use up before the end of the year. Like I said, I'll still be around for combat and some interactions, but don't wait for me for decisions and the like.

This is a good time to mention I'll be taking a break from the game for 2 weeks, from Dec 23rd - January 8th to focus on family time over the holidays. I might post occasionally, but not sure how often.

I don't think I'd be opposed to bringing in a new player. We'd have to find a way to work it into the story I'm assuming.

On another note, I don't know how much this would matter to y'all or if you already know about it, but there's this humble bundle going on right now that ends in the days.

Ditto.
Thanks for the tip. I like a lot of that Kobold press stuff, though I don't know how much I would end up using. I mean, that didn't stop me from buying a Doctor Who bundle last year that I'll never use, but still. I already own Tome of Beasts, but I suppose it would be nice to own a legal PDF of it (I justify my pirated PDF by reminding myself that they already got my cash for the physical version).

Thanks for the link, Jacketch! This is a good deal if only for Tome of Beasts, a great resource of interesting monsters, so any of you who might like to run a game some day might consider it. Like McDunno, I already own Tome of Beasts, so I probably won't participate on this one, but I definitely appreciate the resource sharing. Keep it coming!

There's a kickstarter going on right now for a sequel to Tome of Beasts called the Creature Codex, but even that I don't feel like I can get behind because I've barely used the Tome of Beasts yet! The only reason I'm tempted is because backers can submit monsters that might get into the book, so it would be fun to have a published monster under my name.

Good luck with everything Ramen!

And I guess I should make note of my coming absence while we're at it, I'll be taking a trip to connecticut from 12/21-12/28. Im going to be staying with family and am assuming they'll have adequate internet capabilities. But, there is a chance they may be a little behind the times and are still using a desktop computer for all their internet needs. In any case, I'll try to post as often as possible but my posting over the week long period may get spotty as I'll be plenty distracted with the trip.

I hope you all have great holidays, and Im sorry for any inconvenience this may bring!

Also I am totally on board with bringing on a new party member! forgot to mention that in my last post lol

Yeah a new person is cool
