Update: I'm not sleeping well. The cough medicine upsets my stomach, but not taking the cough medicine makes me cough. So, I'm trying to find the balance. I'm very sleepy this morning, but I did catch up on the OOC.
I was under the impression that Merkas returned all of the miner's weapons, so I'm assuming that includes the three daggers that Kasi took.
No, it's not The Dark One's Dagger. 🤭 Though I took some visual cues from its design. It is a homebrew weapon though. MrUncleTio if you'd like, I can make you a custom item for it so you can add it to your inventory. I wasn't going to bother unless someone decided they wanted to keep it. Your weapons can easily be exchanged at Buckeran's, or Kasi can help you modify the ones you currently have, when you're back in town. If a different weapon suits Hastos's aesthetic or combat style better, he'll find what he's looking for at a reasonably fair exchange.
I'm very tired and am going to try to get some more sleep. When I wake back up, I'll catch up on the IC thread.
Merkas returned all the weapons he took, and left a couple of his own, as a show of non aggression and desire for peace with the Letni Inhelk. He did not ask anyone else to do this.
Yea, I didn’t use any, so I guess I’ve got the ones out of my side and the ones Merkas gave me..
So that would be three then, Merkas had one and you had two. Unless you collected the two Sera had imbedded in her thigh and hip. Merkas will ask about them IC when things get moving again.
Yea, I wouldn't trade that one for anything, either! It's definitely iconic...
Hastos has that universal can opener, and he's pretty happy with that. The scimitar is cool, but he looses out on his great weapon attacks...
When it comes to writing on sword blades, I'm always reminded of this scene from a TV series where a guy was reading the writing on the heros blade and it went something like:
Guy: "Harooosh quive matos tenvita. What does it mean?"
Hero: "Oh, it's gibberish. My father was illiterate."
I like that. It’d be pretty easy to state some strange language and make up a meaning “It’s a rare icewind dialect from a remote island meaning the one who wields”
Since you're starting to recruit members, it's time to consider titles for the guildmembers, and what access and priveledges each title grants you. For a placeholder, I have Kasi as a Rank 0 Guildmember.
Rank 0: May join missions acting as a representative of Dawnbound.
Rank 1: May also lead missions with up to 3 NPCs as a representative of Dawnbound.
Rank 2: May also seek out and approve bounties as a representative of Dawnbound.
Rank 3: May also open recruitment and appoint hirelings as a representative of Dawnbound.
Rank 4: May also approve strongholds and recruitment facilities, conduct business as a representative of Dawnbound.
If you're not interested in figuring any of that out, Buckeran (your prospective patron) has offered to manage your affairs in your place. That's basically just to make it so you can play the game however you want to (run your side hustle, if you enjoy that, or just let it run itself so you can focus on kicking down doors).
You can have a guild council, or a guildmaster. But one of you should be chosen to take on a Bonus Downtime Activity: Running A Business to deploy the guildmembers who are going on quests that you (the storyline party) are not going on. More than one character (or NPC) can take part in this activity at a time. When rolling to determine the business’s performance, add the total days spent by the characters to the roll to determine the business’s success (still observing the maximum of 30). If the business earns a profit, multiply that profit by 4 + the number of characters who took part in this downtime activity. At this point, only Kasi is an NPC member. But, if you wish, you can hire some hirelings to go with her on a low CR mission, so long as she isn't currently travelling with you.
It's a day and half trek back to Santekh, unless encounters slow the process, but that's all the energy I have to post for now. I'm going back to sleep after I finish bumping Kasi up to level 5.
Quick reminder: For your Feats, remember just to select the Attribute Gain Feat. Class Feats are compulsory. But you should be able to permanently boost two Attributes in the levelling up process here.
I am glad you getting better. I agree. We can move forward. I hoped see how Merkas ride the Strider. I mentally picture a failed animal handling and it takes off into the sunset with him on. No control.

Now I hope that helps. If not. Rest and recover. Take your time :)

Ooh! Great names!
Character: Hastos, Ibahalii Vriwhulth, the Reaper of Glory v2: IC Thread
Yeah, they will totally fit our cult ... No wait, I mean guild, yeah guild.
On an unrelated note, is Hastos about to be like "what are we?" to Sera? 'cause that'd be hilarious.
Nice titles! I never ran a guild before.
It sound like a important talk is coming up!
lol!
“It’s not you, it’s me.”
”I need to work on myself…”
Na, nothing like that! lol.
Character: Hastos, Ibahalii Vriwhulth, the Reaper of Glory v2: IC Thread
Hope I didn’t ruin your revelation too much Hastos. Merkas just doesn’t see the point in dwelling on how you were used or failed in the past.
How’s everyone doing?
Loyalty Begets Honour
Ha! No! That whole thing played exactly as I hoped it would. No drama. I was so thankful. I mean, he literally has the shit all over him, lol.
Everyone had a great response.
Character: Hastos, Ibahalii Vriwhulth, the Reaper of Glory v2: IC Thread
Today was a doozy of a day. I'm here, and I'm about to check the IC to see what's up, and then I might just fall asleep. I'm so exhausted. 😅

Glad to hear you're on the mend. I am okay with moving forward.
That's good was worried I stole your thunder but also Merkas wanted you to know it didn't matter to him.
Loyalty Begets Honour
Yeah, sounds like it's a good time to move forward.
I am glad you getting better. I agree. We can move forward. I hoped see how Merkas ride the Strider. I mentally picture a failed animal handling and it takes off into the sunset with him on. No control.
