Quest 8 Downtime & Lifestyle Results

Dagfinn
Lifestyle: Wealthy
Carousing: 1 day.
Cost: nothing

Dagfinn rented out the finest room Pick Your Poison had, revelling in the freedom a town like Haven had to offer. He spends the rest of the next day at the tavern’s tables, and makes a small fortune gambling, equal to 150gp - much to the innkeeper’s chagrin. It was enough to maintain a wealthy lifestyle and pay for all the expenses he incurred. His lucky streak has become the stuff of local legend, earning him a nickname. Among the pirates of Haven he is known as Captain “Dice” Dagfinn.


Journey
Lifestyle: Poor
Researching: 1 day.
Cost: 1sp

When Journey awoke his mind was ravaged by the magic of the tome. Journey starts the next quest with 16 psychic damage.


Quimby
Lifestyle: Poor
Training (exercise): 1 day.
Cost: 1sp


Andargo
Lifestyle: Wretched
Down Time Unspent: 1 day.
Cost: nothing


Vorn
Lifestyle: Wretched
Down Time Unspent: 1 day.
Cost: nothing


Zanth
Lifestyle: Aristocratic.
Researching: 1 day.
Cost: 11gp

There really wasn't an inn nice enough in Haven to accommodate Zanth's luxurious lifestyle, so he rented the nicest room he could get at "Pick Your Poison" and bought the things he was missing. Gare the bartender took the gold and furnished the room to Zanth's liking, in addition to assigning a wench to be his maid and servant for the next 12hrs. Also, a tailor was sent for to mend Zanth's clothes, and his equipment was sent off to the blacksmith for maintenance. A barber was sent up to his room for personal grooming and a hot shave. After relaxing in the lap of luxury, Zanth wandered throughout Hiddenhold buying drinks for the locals to pry rumors and gossip from their lips. Of everything he'd heard, from cursed mines to hill giant caves, what intrigued Zanth the most was the mention of Falamar's Locker. Captain Falamar is one of the most famous pirates to sail the high seas, and the founder of Haven. It's said he keeps all his loot in a dungeon east of the city, from where none have returned. However, it is said that Falamar himself openly challenges anyone to rob him, all they have to do is find his loot and make it out of Falamar's Locker alive. When Zanth went back to "Pick Your Poison" his private wench alerted him to an invitation from Lord Bartholomew, the pirate in charge of the coastal fort, to meet with Zanth at his earliest convenience.

*Going to do things differently. Instead of a post for each player each quest, I’ll be making one post for everybody. If you haven’t posted a lifestyle from pg. 157 of the PHB, you’ll be living a hobo’s life. If you post your lifestyle this week I’ll change your results.

[journey]

My activity should be Researching, as I'm spending my time reading and studying my new precious book to learn about, make, and control flesh golems. And lifestyle should be whatever the rate is at the pick your poison. If that's 1sp.

-16 psychic. The madness is comforting.

Reading is dangerous.

Quimby spent the night on the ship, checking in on the crew and preparing a power point presentation on his new scared straight program. When the team gets back to action, he plans on presenting it to the captain for a vote. Basically, Quimby wants to turn any truly evil enemy we come across (that doesn't turn ethereal or anything), turn them into a golem, and have them stand outside an orphanage with a sign around it's neck that says "If you are evil, you will end up like this. Just say no to petty crime". After preparing his presentation, he'll have a meal on the ship, train a bit and hit the sack. If there is enough time in the morning he'd also like to post some flyers around town letting any Dragonborn who reads them to now of the bounty on us and offer safe sanctuary on the Salty Lass.

Ok, so no lifestyle? You mentioned living on the ship. I think we'll just go with a poor lifestyle if you mention you're living on the ship.

For everyone else: no posts means hobo.

[lawyerquimby]

I'd think eating/living on the ship at port would be the same as being at sea, so if that counts as poor that's fine. Quimby is all about crew morale so i think at least one vice captain should be on the ship. In case we need a quick get away.

[Dungeon Master]

I'm going to assume - if you post - the default lifestyle on ship is poor. If anyone wants to pay for a better lifestyle aboard while at sea all you need to do is mention it in your posts and specify what your lifestyle is. There's a list in the PHB, ch. 5.

[zanth]

Zanth lives an aristrocratic lifestyle when he can. Right now he can.

In downtime he is making connections and dipping into the intrigue of the wealthy. He is always looking for a mark and next job. He is eager to improve his gear. He is looking for leads on where he can get better stuff.

[trystrem]

Trystrem & K'ydd:

Aboard the boat, there is little to do for Trystrem and his new retainer K'ydd. The two would enjoy performing together for the crew, Trystrem taught K'ydd a few tricks and feats they would perform to help boost morale. K'ydd was a fast learner and his small frame and elven heritage helped when performing some of the more complicated routines.

K'ydd would tell Master Trys, as he now called him though under protest of Trystrem, about the beasts of the forest from before he was captured and bound into slavery, but K'ydd had never seen anything that would have a tooth like the one Trystrem carried.

It was not all fun and games for the two, as the newest member of the ships officers, and youngest recruit to the crew of the Ever Valiant, Trystrem and K'ydd were often left with the lowest and most difficult tasks for keeping the ship tidy, the two however were the ones who often got the last laugh, as Trystrem would simply call forth his mage hand, and his Unseen Servants to perform the tasks while he and K'ydd snuck away to train in new skills.

K'ydd: 10 Days Training with Cooks Utensils (I assume there is a set somewhere in the galley)
Trystrem: 3 Days Crafting a 3 additional quivers (using the leather armor he once wore as material to craft them) and separating out his normal, black, and poisoned black bolts, as well as his arrows.
7 Days Training with A dragon chess game set he 'borrowed' from Vorn


Andargo:
After seeing first hand the powerful effect the poison had, Andargo's desire to harness its power into his own attacks grew, but he was left with only an empty vial of the poison, and Trystrem held all the bolts that were coated in it. Then, a brilliant idea came to Andargo, he would ask the bard for the bolts to try and study them and perhaps be able to learn more about poisoning and its effects, as well as help him use a poisoners kit in the future if he ever acquires one. Trystrem, being unsure but trusting of Andargo, after asking him for his secret password, handed Andargo 3 poisoned black bolts.

Andargo spent the next 8 Days Researching with the bolts to learn all he can about the techniques used for poisoning weapons, and their effectiveness hoping this will translate into 8 days of training with a poisoners kit. As well as attempting to extract from the arrow heads any poison he could into the empty poison vial he had.

However, this experimentation and rudimentary research did not go entirely well for Andargo. On the morning of the Ninth day after awakening in his quarters, he pricked his finger on the tip of one of the poisoned bolts causing immediate paralysis (explaining why he was unable to assist during the ship-to-ship combat).

The 10th and final day of travel was spent Recuperating from the effects of the poison to prevent him from having any long-lasting effects from

Quimby spent most of the downtime, when not working with the crew, teathered by a rope to the back of the ship practicing his swimming in armor skills. At night, he passes the idle time with stretching to stay loose, and gazing at the sky with dreams of flying along with his mighty ancestors one day. After the sea battle, he'll be spending all his time helping his crewmates keep the ship afloat, and giving the 5 crew members we lost a proper burial at sea.
