As some of the party heads off to bed for the night, Conrad enjoys the meal that the innkeeper brings them. Sitting at the table, he observes the rest of the patrons, looking for whichever ones would have a good story in them.
John takes the copper locket and one of the bottles (Adds both to inventory). John thinks to himself, (Hmmmm, maybe I'll run into the owner of this locket can return it to him. As for the bottle, I could either fill it with water. Free equipment is always fun........). John then decides to head downstairs and join Conrad in the main dining area, making sure to stuff his dagger in his pocket in case of emergency.

[On my phone this morning & don't see that feature]
The phone browser didn't have the same editing functions, but here is a way to use it with typing I believe....
The forums feature a dice rolling feature by means of the [ roll ] tag. This post will highlight how to format dice expressions and the various features that are supported. In this post, bold red text refers to placeholders, where normal text indicates letters or numbers that should be left as-is. For example, the d in 1d20 must be left as the lowercase letter d; it is not a placeholder for something else. When copy/pasting examples, remember to remove the extra spaces inside of [ roll ] and [ /roll ] to make the forums actually roll the dice.
Basic Rolls
Many of the roll features you need (advantage/disadvantage, and dropping/keeping certain dice) are available by clicking the dice icon in the post toolbar.
By clicking on this icon, you will be presented with a pop-up which lets you fill in roll details. While this supports the majority of rolls you will need to make for D&D Play-by-Posts, you will sometimes need more advanced features. For information on how to format your own die rolls, see the Custom Rolls section below.
Custom Rolls
[ roll ]NdX[ /roll ]
This expression rolls N dice with X sides per die. Up to 1,000 dice may be rolled in a single [ roll ] tag, and X can be any number from 1 to 10,000. When the dice are rolled, the result will appear in blue, green, red, or purple. The color of the result can be used as a quick indicator of how well you rolled. A green roll indicates that one or more dice rolled a critical (maximum value). A red roll indicates that one or more dice rolled a fumble (minimum value). A purple roll indicates that some dice rolled maximum and others rolled minimum in the same roll, and finally a blue roll indicates no dice rolled either their maximum or minimum. Hovering over the result will display a tooltip showing the details of the roll, including what expression was being rolled as well as what values each die had in the roll. For example, the following is the result of a 3d6 roll: 9.
Math
Basic math can be performed on dice rolls. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are all supported. You may use parenthesis to dictate the order of operations should complicated expressions be needed. Additionally, parenthesis can be used to place a math expression wherever a number would normally be expected, such as the number of dice being rolled.
Examples:
[ roll ]1d20 + 4[ /roll ] ⇒ 9
[ roll ](1d4 + 1)d6[ /roll ] ⇒ 12
Math-only Rolls
While the [ roll ] tag is primarily for rolling dice, you can use it as a general-purpose calculator by specifying math expressions without specifying any rolls. For example, you can calculate 9,000/6 like so 1500.
Your food and drink is brought to your rooms, simple yet hearty. You collapse on soft beds, exhausted, and fall into a deep slumber.

Hubert flops down onto the bed and just stays there, half on, half off. His muffled snores can soon be heard.

John discovers a few empty bottles and a copper locket with a picture of a little girl. Zahim finds an old book on west coast fungae.
Conrad sees only common fisherfolk, but he estimates that they have one or two tales to tell.
