((Are you planning on shelving your character for an extended hiatus?))

((For those who aren't parking their character in a corner to read a book, you will be leveling to 2nd level whenever you take a long rest.))

Mixtli joins the others to the house.

Tandor returns to their quarters, makes the minimal amount of small talk, and goes to his room.  After praying to Pelor for forgiveness of his sins committed at the market, he washes as best he can in the wash basin, then goes to sleep.  The next morning, he digs the new spices he purchased in the market from his pack, straightens his room, and then goes to the kitchen to prepare the morning meal.

Religion (just for flavor): 16

ooc: Do you want me to roll for the cooking?

((I'd say with proficiency in cook's utensils and pulling on his understanding of how spices interact with the food and each other, his Passive check on that would be a 16 with Wisdom (Cook's Utensils), so you don't need to roll, but could for flavor if you want a chance to top that, but also a chance to overdo it.))

((Also, drawing a bit of inspiration from Liber's vague stated desire to study for some amount of time, and the levels that the RC campaign book has intended adventures for, I'm proposing a bit of a time jump that would bring you all up to level 3. We have spent 11 months on the events of a single day, so we could pick up again a few weeks down the line for your characters, and next job in thread would take place as newly minted 3rd level characters? What say you? If all are on board, I'll ask for a series of rolls from each of you, to determine/narrate how a few off-screen jobs went in the meantime. Once I know if we're pursuing this course of action, I'll clarify what I'd want there.))

ooc: Sure

Tandor Cooking: 6+1

Tandor gets a bit enthusiastic with his spicing, and while it's not bad, it's a bit muddled, perhaps a lighter approach here, and a bit more emphasis there and he'll dial things in.

((I'm considering Wisdom being the applicable ability for cooking by feel here, so another +4 brings it to an 11 all told.))

ooc: sounds good to me!

((Sounds good, lvl3 is always great to get^^))

(i'm good with it. july heat was preventing me from posting on my computer upstairs)

(Sure, a time jump for characters would be fine.)

((Sounds like we have a consensus on a time jump to 3rd.))

A page delivers a letter of thanks from Song Wen Ming, and in addition to the 10 gold that the job was advertised for, he has included a leather satchel.

"... you will find this rather mundane looking bag capable of carrying much more than what might be otherwise assumed. I foresee the possibility that you may need to make use of such storage on some future job, but choose to grant it to you know in anticipation of a long and fruitful working arrangement."

Milo gives a whistle through his bushy white moustache when he realizes that the simple courier job netted the organization a bag of holding.

((I'm assuming he was told about it being a test, and the ruckus with the food vendors.))

The next many weeks pass quickly, with the influx of support from House Kundarak and from jobs and opportunities provided by Song Wen Ming, it's a bit of a struggle at times to find downtime for yourselves. For his part, Milo has been diverting some funds to the building, to bring it into more functional shape. 

"We've a decent little footprint here, I know some of you value your time away from work, but there's options we can use it for... could turn it into a proper guildhouse, and have rooms for everyone here, those of you staying elsewhere could move in, and we can just keep it as a base of operations. Or we could shift that to the backroom, and set up a shop here in the front, there'd be some permitting to jump through, but could either sublet the shop space, or run it ourselves if there's something we had in mind. Just throwing ideas out there."

Over the next month or so, each of you takes point on a job the party goes on, to somewhat varying success. Additionally, you do find some time to pursue your own interests.

This varies from person to person, but potential options could include the following, most of which have some chance of a complication arising:

• Carousing - socializing among other folks, whether that be on the Citadel or one of the Founding Civilizations.
  • Potential benefit: gaining allied contacts that can provide help in some fashion
  • Cost/check: 10gp for lower class, or 50gp for middle class, Charisma (Persuasion) check
• Crafting - may be limited by what you're wanting to craft, lmk and we can figure out if it's doable with resources/etc currently available.
  
  
• Crime - doing something illegal
  • Potential benefit: 2-40X profit depending on target (Easy - Very Hard)
  • Cost/check: >25gp spent on gathering info, bribes, etc. Three checks: Dex (Stealth), Dex (Thieves' Tools) and choice of Int (Investigation), Wis (Perception) or Cha (Deception).
• Gambling - let it ride
  • Potential benefit: up to double initial stake
  • Cost/check: at least 10gp initial bet. Three checks: Wis (Insight), Cha (Deception), Cha (Intimidation). Can use a tool proficiency check with a gaming set to replace one check before rolling it.
• Pit fighting - fighting for cash
  • Potential benefit: Up to 200 gp in winnings
  • Cost/checks: Three checks: Str (Athletics), Dex (Acrobatics), and a Con check of d20 + dHD (so roll a d20 and a single roll of a Hit Dice, total is the Con result). One of these skill checks can be swapped out for an attack roll with a weapon prior to rolling.
• Relaxation - just chill
  • Potential benefit: better able to recover from diseases and poisons, or other long term harmful conditions.
• Religious service
  • Potential benefit: favors from a temple/order representative
  • Cost/checks: Either an Int (Religion) or a Cha (Persuasion) check.
• Research
  • Potential benefit: pieces of lore about a focus of research.
  • Cost/checks: at least 50gp spend on materials, access, etc, with each additional 50gp adding +1 bonus to the Checks. Intelligence check, made with advantage if made with access to a particularly well stocked library or consulting with particularly knowledgeable folks (which you don't have currently unless there's something in a backstory that would).
• Work - good honest work
  • Potential benefits: being able to live comfortably for the week, with potential for spending money.
  • Cost/checks: An ability check: Either Str (Athletics), Dex (Acrobatics), Int(Tools), Cha(Performance) or Cha(Instrument).

((The roller has been a bit picky lately, so I'd suggest not trying to edit your post, so I'll lay out what I'd like from each of you to copy/paste and insert rolls accordingly, then we can go from there.))

1. Future of the Building? (guildhall, business, other?)
2. Job you are leading: Roll a d20 to see how well it goes. Also roll a d10 which will be applied if it goes particularly good or particularly bad.
   1. Feel free to add details of what the job might entail, or feel free to leave it to me.
3. Choose up to 4 downtime activities, and make the requested rolls for them. These can be mixed and matched however you'd like. If you wish to see how the job and your first downtime activity resolve first, you can roll those and get feedback from me before handling the others.
   1. Feel free to add details of what it is you are attempting, or feel free to leave it to me.

Do feel free to ask questions on any of the above before making your rolls!

Liber conducts research on evocation magic and ritual spells for the company, alongside religious duties at the Temple of Azuth, relaxation and work.

int check 1: (claiming advantage due to contacts at temple of Azuth) 20

religion check: 19

Acrobatics check: 13

((Do we think we ever need two bags of holding? I was planning to take it as a replicate magic item infusion^^))

1. Future for the building: Mixtli would vote for having a fully stocked guildhall including a well filled workshop in the back to repair and build equipment, and of course stuff for the guildhall it self.

2. I'm not entirely sure on what kind of jobs we would get, but for Mixtli to have the lead I would assume it would have something to do with either a vulcano and rescueing people behind lava flows, or maybe the destruction of a property to make room for new properties. First one feels most interesting.

Job success roll: 19
The hopefully needed due to a nat20 roll: 3

3. Mixtli would love to go research more about what happened back in Tletepec, but doesn't think he know where to start yet. So he starts with some time working at various workshops

Working with Mason's or Tinker's tools: 16

future of the building:  fully stocked guildhall, like mixtli would go for, with the addendum of a well-kept library for research and archival purposes.

((Don't think I was clear enough on the intent of the research option, that would typically be for something specific. The pieces of lore would typically be a true statement about the person, place or thing being researched, more than spell research as such. Did Liber have the 50gp to fund his week of research also? If so, and still want to research evocation rituals, I can make it work, but would also permit you to tweak the focus if you wished.))

Liber's time spent in service doesn't go as well as he'd perhaps like, his mind preoccupied with the questions he seeks answers to. He may find the small chapel/library to Azuth less inclined to help with further research.

 Liber finds some extra non-adventuring work and spends a week at it, managing to save 20 gold for his efforts, since his housing and meals are taken care of by Milo and the company.

((Liber led job roll? d20 and d10?))

((Don't feel the need to come up with anything too cool for the jobs we're doing 'offscreen' here, if you have any ideas you're legit excited about, PM me and can see about adding it to Milo's job board!))

Mixtli leads the company on a bit of a missing persons rescue mission, but by the time they get there, they find the Shieldbearers, the Citadel's expeditionary force, had already been requested and dispatched. The company is able to help out and make some contacts within the ranks, but don't end up getting the full payout from the job. He can't help be feel a bit of let down, but everyone was recovered safely, so it's a win, even if it doesn't quite feel like it.

He puts in some time working assorted jobs, spending a week doing masonry work to rebuild some infrastructure for the Citadel, and profits 20 gold.

 ((If you're spending all 4 weeks finding jobs and doing work, give me 3 more work checks. If you want to spend a week doing research on Tletepec, let me know what specifically you're trying to find out, deduct the 50gp, and make a check.))

((Neither Liber or Mixtli ran into complications thus far, was waiting to get confirmation from Spark before rolling for Research, and will wait on Mixtli's other rolls. On the complication rolls thus far, a 1 would have resulted in some sort of complication.))

((If anything I summarize sparks your interest RP-wise, feel free to have a scene while doing one of your downtime weeks!))

ooc: How many weeks do we get?  Tandor would definitely be doing some stuff.  Scribing scrolls or perhaps other magical items (or low power certainly and with your approval), certainly experimenting with his cooking, just need to know what I've got to work with.

((You're able to find 4 weeks of individual downtime in between company jobs, each activity takes ~ 1 week, though crafting stuff is more variable. Beyond time and tools, magical items require special knowledge and often components. A common magical item takes a week and 50 gold, as well as a recipe and any additional ingredients. If you let me know what you are thinking, we can go from there. For scrolls, the XGE downtime says that you have to be proficient in Arcana to scribe a scroll, I'm assuming largely for flavor reasons, but I'd be willing to expand that to allow other spellcasters to make re-skinned scrolls not reliant on being proficient in Arcana. Both Cantrips and 1st level spells can be completed in a single day, for 15 gp and 25 gp respectively, plus any material components. 2nd level the cost goes up to 250gp, and takes 3 days. In lieu of Arcana proficiency, I'd say that Tandor could imbue a spell as a prayer into an object.))

((As far as cooking, could be different directions to go there, from just getting a job as a line cook somewhere, to opening a pop up soup kitchen as religious service, or something outside what was laid out above.))
