I just used character sheet dice to roll for hp. If that’s not okay, I can roll in here in the future.
If Beyond get off their arse and make the encounter tracker persistent, I would switch over to it and stop rolling in forums altogether.
I can live with rolling in the game log, as long as you post what your results are. Looking at it myself, Orubis made 2 custom d8 rolls with results: 6 & 7. Those were your hit dice?
Edit: I will try to move things along during my lunch break. Right now, I'm going to assume you approach Tappy to look for more work?

Yeah, I don’t think there’s a button for hit dice yet, right?
Summer time is understandably slow. But so we're not all waiting on each other to make the next post, I'm just letting you all know I'm waiting for a response to the last post in the main thread. Or a post here telling me to move on to the crypts.
Beegred also has a question for whichever cleric Rodolfo is speaking to. He holds out the crystal eye piece that was used in the medusa lair. "This helped (somewhat) in avoiding the petrifying gaze of a Medusa. Would it be effective against the aging due to a ghost's Unpleasant Expression... Horrifying Visage... whatever that effect is called?"
That is an interesting idea. A good approach to solve a problem with the resources at hand.
If you are willing to make the same sacrifices, ie:
occupying a hand to hold the crystal to one eye, or
rolling a check to craft a sling to hold it in place with a possibility it fails in battle
Then I'll house rule that the crystal will give you a +3 to your saving throw.

Could I use barkskin to grip the crystal over one of his eyes? I’m not sure how to communicate this well,
Could I grow Barskin on him such that if he holds the crystal against his eye when I cast it, the bark will grow and grip the crystal?
The priest replies to Orubis, "Burrow Warden Jaeger inhabits the crypts. He doesn't have a room, or a crypt, so I can't give you directions. If the Burrow Warden doesn't find you, then one of the children can certainly guide you. Probably won't be necessary, as you will appear as trespassers. If the Burrow Warden surprises you, remain peaceful. He's not the type to strike first and ask questions later."
I was joking earlier, but now I want Beegred to do an Insight check on this priest.
I realize what he is saying about the quickest way to meet the ghost. But if the party appears to be trespassers, then his first thought is to NOT provide a guide to clear up the confusion? But to hope that we won't be attacked? His advice may be friendly... or a cultist that convinces people to willingly walk to their doom.

You look around and can see this 'temple' area is jam packed with all sorts of cases of gnomes needing care. Some are injured, some look paranoid/shifty/stressed out and a few are restrained and outright hostile. The worst of the worst get immediate 'magical' attention, and the rest are made comfortable or given assurances and left where they are. The priests are too few to deal with the influx of cases, and all the priests are visibly exhausted. Even Narstin, who has only been here for a few days, already looks tired. It is obvious that everyone currently here is needed urgently.
The priest your party speaks to doesn't appear to be sending you to your doom. He seems to be truthful in saying that they send their children down there to learn and play because it's the safest place in Blingdenstone. He also appears to be truthful in saying Burrow Warden Jaeger is not hostile. Even to outsiders that would show up. It seems the Burrow Warden will give anyone a chance to explain themselves.

I thought there was.... but I guess not. I can't find anywhere to roll hit dice.
Just remember, when you roll hit dice, it's your hit die + con mod, each time you roll.

I figured someone else might want to talk to the clerics or head into the crypts first. Rodolfo has been fairly active recently.

I would say that would be a difficult arcana check.
Edit: And I believe Orubis and Grithik would not have any of these crystals.

The editor is broken for me on the computer. Kept hoping it fixes itself, but it doesn't. I will check stuff from the phone later.
Sorry folks,
Dealing with a summer cold that is going around at home. Not covid, but we're all stuck at home nevertheless.
Missed 2 days of work and now I'm slammed. Sorry for the delay.
You're all good no worries

Yeah, it's very busy times here as well, no worries. We've stuck with this for so long, we'll still be here when you're ready to continue.
Yeah the dead gnome we found was the one who aged Skameros - I believe we found some gems and a potion in their house.

You did!
edit: Udhask's Valuables
So we did the opposite - left her alive and looted her house :)
Vazuk is the she, and you have not met her yet.
Udhask is the he, and you have had the pleasure of meeting him twice now.
