Well, to be honest it's because I'm sneaking in these posts while at work, so I'm doing them quick. I scrolled back to day 11, saw the last sentence that said 1/2 pound of food, recognized 1/2 pound of food left over and didn't read the rest of the sentence.... I just didn't remember correctly what day that 1/2 pound of food was for.
I could move this into my Onenote document so I will be less prone to mistakes but may have to slow down the posts. On the flip side... I post all the numbers so you can check stuff for yourself. Which is the whole point and allows me to make quick posts like this while at work.
I'm feeling like too much time has passed and I need to get the story moving on again. So nothing will come of Buppido's latest wanderings and we move on.
Easiest creatures to kill and I can't hit nary a one.
Their AC is over 16 and they get two attacks... These are not Goblins (easiest creatures to kill), but Goblin Bosses (four times tougher).

With the cast of NPC's, 5 plain goblins would have been pointless. We'd spend days going though combat to get almost no XP and no challenge. This should still be doable, IMO, and potentially (but I doubt it) risky.
I agree, it is a more interesting encounter now. And 4x tougher means 4x experience. Just didn't want boldaslove worried that the party was being man-handled by basic goblins.

So, good catch. 10 pounds of day 12 food remains.

Tozer is going to be away for a bit of time. I will do my best to play in his place.
I changed the narrative to say that Derendil notices Buppido approaching, instead of Tozer. That makes it Narstin's turn to act.

Sorry for the delay, was out of town for a father son retreat over the weekend and ended up being really busy yesterday.
All good! Hope you enjoyed your time with your dad.
Was actually taking my kids :P. Though my dad was there too :P. So I had fun all around :)

Well, at least it won't end TOO quickly.
