We obviously are getting close to the year-long jump. When we get there, so I can work on my post about how Corren spends the year, I will need to know how long Zinna is gone. That will definitely have an effect on him. Thank you all, for what has been a quite enjoyable game thus far!

Yes it was great fun. I like having the long down time. It's more realistic to have the character age a little. Lots of things can happen in the meantime also. A lot of bad things happened to Zinna this adventure. It's someone else's turn next time *smile*.

Thanks Aeric for another great adventure. I'm looking forward to the next one. Thanks all for making it such a good time.

The Scout of the Deep Wilds says...

Did Celodhil answer Carrick's question about what "War" Adsila was referring to?
This will play an important part in Carrick's year of downtime and what he decides to do.

Also just wanted to say I like the whole leveling up based on story and not just leveling up into some other class "Just because". I had thought briefly about Carrick dipping into rogue for that sweet, sweet sneak attack, and could justify it by saying that he and Corren got together and the human taught the dwarf some of his skills. I don't think he will go rogue, but this type of leveling up is also nice just for straight classes too like with Leo. This would tie strongly into what he's doin with the oath of the ancients, which to honest, I don't see how that oath would have been available to him otherwise given his deep devotion and belief of the Maker, story wise anyway.
And the same will be with Carrick as he will be sticking to Unearthed Arcana Ranger, the Hunter conclave.

I like that aspect too. I originally never planned to multiclass with Zinna. I planned to advance as her as a bard only. The whole captive situation made me think about it. She was desperate for assistance and would have accepted help from anyone to escape. I was even thinking about having a fiend or great old one patron to add tension to our group. The fey patron really makes sense for our situation though. I'm looking forward to our future adventures.

The Maker says...

He did not, but only because the Dungeon Master forgot that part when he was writing a response. My bad; he would have alluded to the fact that there was tension between Inasayah and the Illiosani Ancestors to begin with and that this incident will likely result in outright hostilities. On this side of the Veil the Illiosanin have the advantage of numbers, but given the nature of the nexus points this 'war' will not likely be fought in a conventional way since they are usually limited to single creatures crossing over at a time rather than large numbers. Still, the Illiosani are likely to want revenge; especially since Celodhil reveals that Adsila was one of the Matriarch's daughters.

Zinna is likely to be gone for about three months; she will receive power from the Fey Queen and spend some time in the Queen's court and then spend some time with Celodhil in training as a warlock on this side of the Veil before being sent back to Clear Creek.

Wanted to ask a few things about the upcoming downtime before I make Leo's epilogue post.

-Since he isn't getting a paycheck like the rest of these guys Thinking about using Leo's skills with smithing to do commissions for Clear Creek and the elven community. With war beckoning, there should be additional demand for such work.
-Planning to learn Sylvan if he can get regular access to a teacher for it. Elven if he can't. By default, learning a tool or language takes 250 days. With what else is going on, if you think he wouldn't be able to complete it, would you be adverse to him knowing broken sentences for the next adventure?
-I am guessing at the moment that Marcellus is remaining in the area to continue his work, and the church is still considering Leo as working as the Father's escort/hand.

The Scout of the Deep Wilds says...

Ok, cool. So it's not so much a war of the elves against Clear Creek, but an apparent 'civil war' amongst the elves themselves.

And pertaining to Leo's questions about the extent of our year of downtime activities, aside from leveling up, are our characters free to assume that they would have been making an above average wage for their individual crafts/services seeing as they are "A cut above the rest" as it were? Point being, I had an interesting idea of Carrick founding a more consolidated Hunters/Trappers Guild in Clear Creek, but didn't know if that would be within the parameters of what we could actually achieve. With the last bit of downtime, Carrick spent most of that trying to get the abandoned outlying farms up and producing once more.
Again, this is where Carrick feels he is going to be establishing his roots for the foreseeable future so would do much in the way of improving the little frontier outpost into a self sufficient and productive settlement.

The Maker says...

Daishain
Leo may be able to find someone to teach him Sylvan while he is at the court of the Fey Queen and if he expresses interest Inasayah would probably send a pixie, maybe Fizzle, to continue his instruction when he leaves. I think 250 days of fairly constant instruction would allow him to be at least somewhat fluent in the language; if he was trying to learn it in a classroom setting not so much. I think what I will have you do is after the 250 day mark make an Intelligence roll DC 12. If Leo succeeds then he can mark it as a language that he is fluent in for the most part, if he fails the roll then he finds the language a bit too complex for him and may know some broken sentences here and there but would not be fluent and anytime he would attempt to speak, understand or read Sylvan then he would need to roll an Intelligence check to determine if he knows the words.

Does Leo plan on staying in Clear Creek or is he going to set up in Durmista with Father Marcellus? There is a blacksmith in Clear Creek who could hire him but he would probably not be paid too much (Maybe 2sp a day). The issue with doing commissions is that Leo doesn't own any blacksmith tools, or a forge, etc. On the other hand, given his position in the Church it is likely that he would be receiving a stipend to allow him to live at least a poor lifestyle; again 2sp/day, so he could work for the blacksmith and basically make a profit of 2sp per day if he maintains a poor lifestyle. There would be no tools available in Durmista that Leo could use to forge anything and if he stayed in Durmista with Father Marcellus, he would probably be assigned various tasks by the priest to assist him in his mission there and would not have the time to engage in forging tools and weapons.

Let me do a little thinking and research on your question. I recently purchased Kingdoms by Legendary Games, which is essentially a conversion of the Pathfinder kingdom building rules to 5E and I may be able to work something out (This applies to Daishain as well and the possibility of building a smithy); I might be able to arrange the concept of build points to accommodate this or make some conversions of my own from the Pathfinder system regarding teams and constructing buildings and businesses.
