Downtime activities
  • Obtain any special/rare spell components, such as diamonds for Resurrection and similar spells.
  • Assist with repatriating the freed ex-slaves. Do any of them need work? Perhaps they could be hired on to help Hubert's business, if he has need of them and if their skills are a match.
  • Consult with Lord Bercel about our mission and its outcome (I assume this will be roleplayed out as a party during our session, though, so this might not be considered downtime).

Features: Ability Increase -Feat! Martial Adept
PHBp168

You have martial training that allows you to perform special combat maneuvers. You gain the following benefits:
* You learn two maneuvers of your choice from among those available to the Battle Master archetype in the fighter class. If a maneuver you use requires your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuvers effect, the saving throw DC equals 8 + our proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice).
* If you already have superiority dice you gain one more; otherwise you have a superiority dice, which is a d6. This die is used to fuel your maneuvers. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain your superiority dice when you complete a short or long rest.
Source: PHB, page 168
9) Commanding Presence. When you make a Charisma (Intimidation), a Charisma (Performance), or a Charisma (Persuasion) check, you can expend one superiority die and add the superiority die to the ability check.


10) Disarming Attack. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to disarm the target, forcing it to drop one item of your choice that it's holding. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it drops the object you choose. The object lands at its feet.

I need a determination on using Rally before I make my final choice for Combat Maneuver #10.
Okay, an answer was returned, and Enkili will not be able to misuse Rally as others have. So Disarming Attack will be the maneuver chosen.

In the meantime Enkili would like to help someone with their downtime project.

Too bad rumor has reached Enkili that his grandfather, the High Harbhamit, wishes to use the Sainted Sword for nefarious purposes. The man has always been ruthless, but plotting to have Enkili "Eliminated" as a contender for the family weapon is troubling, if true.

Cleric, Level 10

Hit Points: just apply the average, please.

The rest of it: as per the PHB for standard Cleric.

Actions, plans, ideas, wishes, etc.:

Use Sending to report to Solare temple and check for news, or if they have any requests or orders for her; etc.

Use a Sending each day to try to contact Miria.

Check through her spell-component needs and invest where appropriate -- diamonds for Revivify spells, for example, if the party wants to consider that.

Leiya is quite concerned about the news of the plague in Brant, but is still deeply invested in the Chained Wings and the fate of Miria and the Rusty Bedpan children (including Hubert's young ladyfriend). She would probably opt to keep pursuing that, unless her temple orders otherwise, or the party wants to do something different.


Riardon

The following are only suggestions -- the character's creator of course gets final say. If player has already submitted his leveling, please disregard all of the below.

Level up as: Arcane Trickster

New Cantrip: Mind Sliver (if allowed; this is from Tasha's Cauldron). He could, I think, consider and acquire this spell due to his intelligence, keen concentration/people-watching, and discussions with Leiya (who has the Telepathic feat) and Blaylocke (Dissonant Whispers and other spells).

Alternative Cantrips: Blade Ward (from PHB); Infestation (Xanathar's); Poison Spray (PHB); Toll the Dead (Xanathar's).

New 2nd-level Spell suggestions: Crown of Madness (PHB); Mirror Image (PHB); Phantasmal Force (PHB); Tasha's Mind Whip (Tasha's Cauldron).]]> Leiya

Ability point increase: Wisdom, please. I'm (presumably) becoming wiser (as well as sadder), so let's grab that increase in bonus.

I believe that's the only choice-based thing I have; all else is automatic.

I can take the Average in terms of HP increase.

Leiya will be reporting (via magic or in person) to her religious superiors, as well as to Wellborne and, if needed, to anyone else at Jolrael's Guild (for example, the caretakers at the farmhouse safehold). She'll be reporting the events as well as extolling Jolrael's bravery, and imploring aid to see if he can be recalled somehow to the land of the living.

If there are any local shrines or groups devoted to Quendi, she'll visit them too, and pray in Jolrael's honor. (And also see if those followers know of ways to recall Jolrael.)

If able, she'll continue to try a Sending spell periodically to Miri (the little orphan). Also retroactively -- if Miri's stuffed bunny (can't recall its name without my notes, sorry!) was left behind in the temple after Miri's disappearance, Leiya will have taken the bunny for safekeeping (and periodic weeping).]]> Cleric

As far as off duty activities, other than asking about house wagons, is researching the Sainted Sword. What is a coin made from stone, where can one find a song stolen from dirt (should ask Blalocke about that one, too), and where is this knife from under the hills?

Know Your Enemy (PHB p74)
If you spend at least 1 minute observing or interacting with another creature outside combat, you can learn certain information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice:
    • Strength score
    • Dexterity score
    • Constitution score
    • Armor Class
    • Current hit points
    • Total class levels (if any)
    • Fighter class levels (if any) 
(Knowing your Enemies AC and HP is the best use of this ability!)

Question, are we going to get Wolf's wagon and mules?  Were the chest and lockboxes found in Murieb's lair in good enough shape to keep, if so Enkili would like to use them on the wagon?
If not Enkili is going to buy a covered wagon and four draft horses (60gp for wagon and 200gp total for draft horses)
4 sets of blinkers to help keep the horses manageable (4gp)[264gp tot.]
While training Enkili attempted to write letters to the High Harbhamit and his beloved Uncle Mardus, as part of the curse his pens kept breaking until Enkili gave up on writing his family.
6ink pens (12cp) {2 pens survive}
4 bedrolls, spares just in case.  (4gp)
box of 200 caltrops and 20 bags (11gp,20cp)
A grooming kit (5sp)
2 fine locks (100gp)
6 mess kits (12sp)
6 bars of soap (12cp)

6 Weaponblack (6gp)
Composite Longbow (125gp) 1d8 piercing + strength mod.  3#.  Ammunition, 180/720, Heavy, special (add strength to damage rolls but use dex to hit),2handed.
2 quivers and 40 arrows (4gp)
2 locks (20gp)
2 barrels (6gp) [542gp, 2sp, 3cp total]

Enkili would like to give 1 quiver and half his shortbow arrows to Blaylocke, the other quiver and other half of the arrows to Riardon.  He will sell his old shortbow as he will now be using the composite longbow for the forseeable future.  I am assuming Enkili spent an hour grocking with the Sainted Sword the first time they camped Wink

Downtime Activity: Since most of the lore was written long after the facts, Enkili will try to research the Sainted Sword. The Sainted Sword may not be the blade's real monicker since his ancestors disdained the art of reading and writing (with a few exceptions) until after Mahkim took the weapon back. All that is known is suspect since a huge veil of secrecy had been placed on the subject, the only facts are 1) Mahkim gave the sword to the Harbhamits to help defend the people. 2) A High Harbhamit broke the covenant with Mahkim by trying to make himself king using the sword, and the blade was taken back after this usurper had been pulled down.

Enkili Twicecursed is still figuring out what to tell Al'marihm, the poor skull that chose Enkili as his ticket home.  Ticket revoked due to unforseen Efreet connivance.

“All I have ever wanted since leaving was to return home, to see my much loved Uncle Mardus and his boyfriend Xercesus again.  I wanted to be a part of the grand parties Xercesus throws to force my uncle, the great general, to be social.  Xecesus is easily the premier chef in all of Al Madii.  I would claim that he is one of the best chefs in all Mandagar….  I am having a hard time remembering his face now, and it has not even been a year since my leaving.

“Finding the Sainted Sword was supposed to be the end of my unwanted banishment….  No, the truth is that I was never supposed to be the one to find this blade.  I was never the man of good character that the High Harbhamit and others thought me.  They would have had me stoned in a city square if they had known of my visits to the brothels I used to frequent.  I am sure that this is a trick of Murieb against Mahkim, whom he hates above all others.  My touch upon this blade must be an affront to the god of my people, and a means for that evil efreet to exact revenge on  the Harbhamit clan for being a thorn in his scheming posterior for so many centuries.

“I believe it is fated for me to fail and fall soon.  When that day comes I would have a favor of you.  I know I do not have the right to beg boons, but this is not strictly for me.  The skull of Al’marihm tasked me with delivering his remains to the Sacred Oasis far south of Al Madii in Mandagar.  Could you perform the deed I am no longer able to complete, as this is the second time a curse has stolen choice from my hands?”]]>
Hit Points:  = Take average: 6+2
Proficiency Bonus= remains +3

Features: Martial Archetype Feature=  Archetype bonus- 2 maneuvers 5) Trip Attack, when I hit a creature with a weapon attack, I can expend one superiority die to attempt to knock the target down.  I add the superiority die to the attacks damage roll, and if the target is large or smaller, it must make a strength saving throw.  On a failed save I knock the target prone.  6) Menacing Attack, When I hit a creature with a weapon attack, I can expend one superiority die to attempt to frighten the target.  I add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom Saving Throw.  On a failed save, it is frightened of me until the end of my next turn.

Know Your Enemy (PHB p74)
If you spend at least 1 minute observing or interacting with another creature outside combat, you can learn certain information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice:
    • Strength score
    • Dexterity score
    • Constitution score
    • Armor Class
    • Current hit points
    • Total class levels (if any)
    • Fighter class levels (if any) 
(Knowing your Enemies AC and HP is the best use of this ability!)

+1 superiority dice =  5d8’s +1d6

Question, are we going to get Wolf's wagon and mules?  Were the chest and lockboxes found in Murieb's lair in good enough shape to keep, if so Enkili would like to use them on the wagon?
If not Enkili is going to buy a covered wagon and four draft horses (60gp for wagon and 200gp total for draft horses)
4 sets of blinkers to help keep the horses manageable (4gp)[264gp tot.]
While training Enkili attempted to write letters to the High Harbhamit and his beloved Uncle Mardus, as part of the curse his pens kept breaking until Enkili gave up on writing his family.
6ink pens (12cp) {2 pens survive}
4 bedrolls, spares just in case.  (4gp)
box of 200 caltrops and 20 bags (11gp,20cp)
A grooming kit (5sp)
2 fine locks (100gp)
6 mess kits (12sp)
6 bars of soap (12cp)
50' ball of string (1sp)
6 Weaponblack (6gp)
Composite Longbow (125gp) 1d8 piercing + strength mod.  3#.  Ammunition, 180/720, Heavy, special (add strength to damage rolls but use dex to hit),2handed.
2 quivers and 40 arrows (4gp)
2 locks (20gp)
2 barrels (6gp) [542gp, 2sp, 3cp total]

Enkili would like to give 1 quiver and half his shortbow arrows to Blaylocke, the other quiver and other half of the arrows to Riardon.  He will sell his old shortbow as he will now be using the composite longbow for the forseeable future.  I am assuming Enkili spent an hour grocking with the Sainted Sword the first time they camped Wink

Downtime Activity: Since most of the lore was written long after the facts, Enkili will try to research the Sainted Sword. The Sainted Sword may not be the blade's real monicker since his ancestors disdained the art of reading and writing (with a few exceptions) until after Mahkim took the weapon back. All that is known is suspect since a huge veil of secrecy had been placed on the subject, the only facts are 1) Mahkim gave the sword to the Harbhamits to help defend the people. 2) A High Harbhamit broke the covenant with Mahkim by trying to make himself king using the sword, and the blade was taken back after this usurper had been pulled down.

Enkili Twicecursed is still figuring out what to tell Al'marihm, the poor skull that chose Enkili as his ticket home.  Ticket revoked due to unforseen Efreet connivance.

Enkili will choose to take 6 HP(+2 Constitution =8HP) rather than roll.  In the downtime between training sessions, he would like to research the Chained Heart Slavers (Chained Wings). That was a dead end last time, so part of the time Enkili will seek word of a great curved blade, that has seven winged bulls engraved upon it, with full moons between the bulls horns, and pentagrams within each of the moons.  He will seek out private libraries or learned sages on the subjects.

Two attacks a round and a +1 to hit!!!  Beware Erath!

Superiority Dice: 4d8's plus 1d6 superiority die due to fighting style retcon.  Maneuver save DC = 8+2(proficiency bonus)+3(strength bonus)=13

Superior Technique gave Enkili the Distracting Attack Maneuver (retcon) as his 1st level fighting style.  Here is the text: Distracting Attack, When I hit a creature with a weapon attack, I can expend one superiority die to distract the creature, giving my allies an opening.  I add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll.  The next attack roll against the target by an attacker other than me has advantage if the attack is made before the start of my next turn.

Downtime activity:1)Purchase a calligrapher's tool kit, if it is reasonably priced.  (Grrr.  Enkili Harbhamit Pesar Al Madii misses the days when money didn't seem to be an issue).  Price 10gp.  Weight 5#.  Purchase a chest to ride in the wagon, 5gp. 25#.  Purchase a lock for the chest, 10gp. 2#.  Training consumes 20 gold.
2) Research on "Darsta".  What was Darsta, where was Darsta, is our map real?  There are techniques from the calligrapher's tool proficiency that should give my investigations a boost.

If we exchanged all the coin we recovered from the Skulker's lair to gold, the sum would equal 283 gp.  This comes to 47 gp (with one coin left over) each divided among the six of us (fair and equitable), which would cover these purchases.  That is just the coin, we have yet to determine what items to sell or distribute as of yet.  Please chime in, my stout hearted fellows, if I have put the cart before the camel.

P.S.  Enkili would also like his quiver of twenty silvered arrows back from Blaylocke, before that worthy goes.
P.P.S. upon doing research I have learned that the d6 superiority die from Superior Technique fighting style will remain a d6 until Enkili reaches 10th level. The Improved Combat Superiority feature of the Battlemaster is the only way to scale that die up. Until then, Enkili has 4d8 combat superiority die plus a 1d6 superiority die.
