Everyone gets 200xp for surviving some awkward rolls. Personal xp to come.

Chasker will take on some lycanthropes, feeling it's a better use of his time then cleaning up the swamp.

Kes prefers the Lycanthrope hunting.

Agreed. They will present more of a challenge and more worthy of our attention.
Are the hunters able to provide details on the creatures? Appearance, behavior, abilities, defenses, etc.?
-
I'm pretty sure Sss'Sss made his intentions clear, but if not, he's all in for the lycanthrope hunt.
-
The ranger you spoke with, a human named Alain who was dressed ready to hunt with bow and leather armor when you arrived at the lodge, will give you a full run down the next day (which I will do on the boards) after everyone who is participating arrives.
The cleric of Arusur'Anyodel who will accompany you is named Jeff.
-
The lodge, called Hunter's Hall, appears to be a private club although it is commissioned by the city to do this type of work. The structure is not new, made of wood, and in a fair state of repair. It does seem like it has had better times a few decades ago.

When the time comes, Sss'Sss will take them up on their offer to use high quality silvered weapons, preferably short swords if they have them.
-
It is the 18th day of the 9th month when you speak to the ranger at Hunters' Hall.
-

They provide you with two silvered weapons, rental fee will be 2 sp per day.

Jeff and Allain have a good amount of information. They meet with everyone interested the next day at Hunter's Hall and detail the possible creatures.
Details to come, but list any questions you have.

I'm sure they cover the basics, since Chasker has no experience with lycanthropes. Do they have silver arrows, or a silver scimitar
-

Maybe just one silvered short sword. I don't think I'm good enough with two to be effective against these creatures. That last comment is inner monologue; I don't say that to the hunters.
Better yet, how much is it to simply have them silver my current weapon?
-

Yes, 2sp rental. Broken arrows will be an additional charge.
-

3 gc coins for that process. It will takes a week, because the smith puts in it his work queue.
-
I'll take 2 scimitars, and 20 arrows - is that 6 silver? ( I ask for a refund if we don't see anything I need them for )
-
3 gc coins for that process. It will takes a week, because the smith puts in it his work queue.
Can I just pay them 3 GP for an already created silvered short sword and give them my current one to replace the one they sold me? That way they can add that one to the smithy's queue and I can just take one for my own so as not to delay the hunt.
-

Correct on the price. They do not offer a refund.

They don't have any available for sale, so the smithy would have to make a new one and it would cost at least 15gc.
-

Alright, I guess I have no choice but to rent. Since it's only one short sword, that'll be 1 sp per day, right?
-
Elliot is all for the Lycanthrop hunt, "I have a few spells that might come in handy."

Correct

I forgot apostrophes were still a problem.
I am guessing there are no large, silver greatswords laying around?

I
Anything else?

It’s working for me!

If anyone got a level, please message me what your level is.

Jade is in because Kes and Breach are in. I can't afford to rent silver weapons. I ask the clerics if their are other ways we can hurt. (OOC: fishing for blessing maybe that can let us hurt them)
-
Rillain says: “I would prefer to fill the role of healer and aerial observation as close quarters battle is clearly not my strength. I will however take a silvered rapier if one is available.”

They can give you other assignments during the hunt. Nets, bolas, ropes. They don't mention casting blessings.
-

They do not have one of those at the ready, not a common weapon for hunting beasts they say.
-
Elliot asks if they have any silver sling bullets.

They half laugh and say, you're better off trying something else than using a sling to hurt them.

So no silver greatswords, anything appropriately sized that Breach could use?
-

Long Spears and Pikes.

Are they resistant to any energy types? Fire, acid, etc. There are mundane options for some of those (e.g., oil flask).
Do they have resistance to magic? Elliott has put creatures to sleep before with magic, would that work?

Some of these answers depends on what we find. However, mostly they can be burned and magic works on them.

Elliot pulls out a water skin which, in the light of the Lodge, looks like it has a silvery metalic sheen. "So you are saying a Silver bullet (he takes a swig from the skin) won't slow them down?"
-
Elliot asks if they have any silver sling bullets.
Sss'Sss suggests using silver coins as ammunition. "Instead of renting gear, simply use your silver to damage them directly. Collect it from their corpses after the fact."
-
Long Spears and Pikes.
I can use a longspear. Would that be equivalent to a regular spear for Breach?
-

What could we encounter that fire, acid, and magic wouldn’t work?
-

The ranger says, "I'm saying that you slinging a silver bullet at one has about as much chance of slowing it down as a well placed rock."
-

There are several sizes of spear, I will have to look at the sizes and determine which version it would be for you. The long spear they references can't be used within 5 feet, but you may be able to because of your size.
-

"We won't encounter anything where none will work, I hope."

Elliot puts away his Coors Lite water skin and says "Ok, spells it is then"
-
Just tell me where to go and what to attack. I have never faced anything like this before so I have nothing to add to the strategy but I will bravely fight these creatures unlike the cowardly people from my village.

Is this hunt a single night or multiple days?

Right now, we will go out every night that we are able.

The ranger you spoke with, a human named Alain who was dressed ready to hunt with bow and leather armor when you arrived at the lodge, will give you a full run down the next day (which I will do on the boards) after everyone who is participating arrives.
Alain Lodge is the ranger to whom you are speaking. He is a common human with mid tone skin and dark brown hair. He is middle aged by the look of him and has the appearance of a man that has been in the wilderness much of his life. His attire is that of someone who is ready to track a monster at a moment's notice even though his outfit appears clean. It is well worn and shows signs of constant use.
His bow is strung whenever you seen him and you assume its magical. It is a short bow. Like much of his equipment it is travel ready and doesn't slow him down. You only see him travel ready. He speaks with a Yellowian accent with the tone of an educated man who spends most of his time with the uneducated. You see no obvious holy symbols, but you hear him mumble prayers to Treetop and Dedestroyt at times when he does things in the hunting lodge.
-
The cleric of Arusur'Anyodel who will accompany you is named Jeff.
Jeff Lodge is slight of build and average height. He has a light completion and light brown hair. His hair is shoulder length. He dresses in the garb of a clerical acolyte, male work robes in off white and dull blue colors. Like Alain, his clothes appear clean but well worn. He looks like he is in his early 20s.
Jeff speaks as an educated Yellowian would, although his accent is less noticeable and his word choices more of the educated. He is friendlier than Alain when he speaks, which is less often. He mentions Arsur'Anyodel often and clearly you can clearly see tattoos to her up and down his arms.
-
…you hear him mumble prayers to Treetop and Dedestroyt at times…

Where does everyone plan on staying the nights you are here?
Chaster is staying in the street, Breach at the temple, and everyone else was a night in the more expensive B&B.

Will the hunter's put us up in the lodge since we're part of the hunting party? If not, I'll continue to sleep on high ground outside like I did the first night.

No, you are not members of the lodge, so you cannot stay there. Sorry, I had forgotten you stayed on a roof.

Would the temple permit others to stay there with Breach if they worked for their lodging?

No, not unless they were clerics of Dedestroyt.

Elliott suggests looking for a less expensive Inn to stay at.

I think Kess would make a great berserking cleric. Might be time to multiclass.
-
To clarify, we are not expecting any overnight stays in the wilderness? Should we grab some gear just in case?

They do not expect overnights stays, although you will be out at night.

The lodge is a well kept, study, thick wooden building. It is not fancy, but does have a large number of carvings the represent things that have been hunted. There are columns outside which hold up the overhang of a large front porch. The name that you hear for it is the hunters' lodge, but that is not its official title which appears to be The Fraternal Order of the Noble Hunt.
In the short time you visit so far, you only meet the two members.

The next suitable night is the answer you are given. Show up each day at 6pm and you will be told if there is work that night.

Alright, I continue to just hang about during the daytime and I'll keep sleeping every night on the rooftops. I show up at 6 every night as requested and, in case it wasn't obvious, I only rent a silvered weapon on the nights we hunt.

Breach will make his way over to Tyrogatore’s temple at some point to pay his respects and for morning exercises.

The high cleric here is also a Vass, although much younger. His name is Fessliss and he is brash and challenges you to grapple immediately.

“I am Breach, the Sundering Fist, cleric of Dedestroyt’s Temple of Ruin. I have studied under your High Cleric, Grand Father Haas Tuskenhammer, in Jaswap. Your challenge is accepted.” I charge.

Fessiss squeals in joy and there is an hour long struggle of tooth, claw, fur, and tail. By the end everyone at the temple has gathered and there is rejoicing and gambling aplenty.
Your size and strength are difficult for him to overcome, but his experience and skill prevail more times than not. Afterwards, there is an hour of revelry.
-
Elliot will wander the town a bit looking for a moderately well off inn, not too expensive and not a place that rents rooms 'by the hour'. Just an average everyday inn.

That is not difficult, you just have to decide if you want to be on the north or south side of the river and how close to the sea you want to be. The city is long east to west and the wealthier sections are intermixed. Also note, that as with all Yellowians cities, this is of modest size, and more typical of the world. Nothing like Tas-tio-Horari or many of the Kathow cities, it has not even 50,000 residents.
It is spread out, however, as there are places where building is unsuitable.

The North side about mid way between the docks and the temple district.

Breach will visit daily, as long as He is able, for his morning workout. Breach pressures the others in to joining him, particularly Jade and Kess.

Jeff explains, "It is different depending on how your get it and what creatures infects you. I will do my best to find out if you are diseased or cursed if one of you gets cut or bitten."
