Topic: Tales of Alder Vale -- Spring
Subject: Achoo!
[The Masons’ Way, northeast of the Murkenhill Forks, Mid Spring, Year 54 AR, present time, late morning.]
Asher kept his bow loaded and resisted the urge to sniffle.
"I will end his worthless life now ... unless you sir have an objection ... to my avenging the loss of my parents ... from foebeasts such as he?"
"Oltovian, listen to Fen! Killing this sick desberate beast won't bring your barents back. It'll make you feel better for a little while but after that you'll feel worse. Besides, I'll bet nobeast at the Abbey would abbrove of such a thing." 
Asher snorts and sneezes in a effort to make his words clearer but...
"Let's tie 'em ub and check their bockets. Fen, you got robe?. I'll keeb my eyes on 'em".
Asher noted the direction the other two ran in case he has to track them. He hopes he doesn't have to. He hopes some comfort and a warm, drying fire can be found in Stormhollow while the bandits and bounties are being handled.

Topic: Alder Vale Campaign Q/A
Subject: Hopes and dreams
Asher hopes in the following order:
1) The bandits will back down, maybe taking Fenir's offered coins, and leave peaceably? 
4) The party enters into negotiation with the bandits, offering them some more money than the coins Fenir's offered, but nothing belonging to Weldon and his sons?
3) The party attempts to capture the bandits (kill, if necessary), and turn them in when you pass through Stormhollow? 
2) The party attempts to shoot it out and try to kill the bandits?

Subject: Bad scout! No acorn!
[The Masons’ Way, northeast of the Murkenhill Forks, Mid Spring, Year 54 AR, present time, late morning.]
Asher, lost in the misery of being wet and cold, should have noticed the raccoon tracks in the mud when they broke for lunch but he was quite busy keeping his nose clean with the sleeve of his tunic. Of course, it was not good manners to wipe one's nose on one's clothing but it was all so wet it didn't matter much.
“Simon Crag,” Weldon nearly spat out the words. “What are ye lot doin’ ‘bout ‘ere. Stirrin’ up trouble, no doubt.”
“You know exac.. exact...,” Simon the Raccoon with the two short swords begins to say as he approaches the middle cart. “exa—aachoo... exactly what we’re doing. We’re lightening your load a little. Gonna help ourselves to some of your provisions and then empty out your coffers. Who are your three friends?”
Three? Good. They haven't spotted Vi. These beasts are just sick and hungry. It'd be a shame to 'harvest their acorns' just because they're desperate. But they don't seem to be giving us much of a choice. Oh, how I hope we're up to the challenge!
“Trained scouts from the Abbey,” Weldon said sternly. “Might want to think your plan through again and back away. “
As soon as the pale squirrel heard Weldon say "Trained scouts" he felt embarrassment welling up inside him at being waylaid like this.
Oltovian's chant cut through the misty air. "But now I sense Death on the Breeze..."
As quickly as his waterlogged paws could move he drew an arrow and nocked it to his bowstring. He knew he must keep to close range because his fletching was soaked and his arrows would be less likely to hit their mark at a distance. He didn't like the idea of killing these poor troublemakers so he focused his instinctive aim on the hands of the raccoon approaching bearing the battleaxe.
OOC:
Asher will not draw back his bow until he is ready to fire. He is a snap-shooter and doesn't spend time at full-draw. At first sign that a skirmish is inevitable, he will fire at the hands of the axe wielding chap in Group 1. Otherwise he will wait to see how things shake out.

Who knew the road could be so dangerous?...
Shall we discuss some strategy or just wing it?
Fight?
Otter Persuasion?
Share lunch?
Flight?

Subject: I'm so excited and I just can't hide it.
Hi folks, I just made my first ever post to a game!
I do have a few questions for us though:
Who's gonna carry the group funds? Is that something we should work out in-character? Or is that pouch of 25 gold consumed by our gear-up?
When we consume something (such as a day of rations) who makes the character sheet edit?

Subject: Rain. Rain. Go away!
[Stonewall Abbey, Mid Spring, Year 54 AR, a few days prior...]
Asher had just finished his dessert when the summons came and he wondered What could we have possibly done to be summoned by the Abbot this evening? It had been days since he had witnessed any mischief and nearly a week since he has instigated it. Stumped, he was unusually quiet on the way to the Abbot's personal library wondering whodunnit and looking from face to face among his companions for signs of guilt.
He was relieved to find that this didn't seem to be a disciplinary meeting. Asher was attempting to steal a curious peek toward the book the Abbot was looking at when he heard "…the legendary owl, Shadow.” "Gasp!" Enemies on wings are worse than enemies on feet. Asher thought as the old otter eyeballed him.
"All the way to Murkenhill..." Asher muttered to himself with a grin as his mind started to race and he involuntarilly began counting on his fingers, making a mental list of items he needed to pack or buy.
[The Masons’ Way, northeast of the Murkenhill Forks, Mid Spring, Year 54 AR, present time, mid morning.]
Asher was pleased that he was relatively unwet having slept under a wagon last night in anticipation of the rain. The wind did invade the shelter of the wagon a little and wetted his cloak on the right side. After wringing it out a bit and getting a good morning yawn-stretch-tailfluff he settled back in for a breakfast of nuts and dried berries. Aidyn began preparing the wagon to move as Asher refilled his water bottle from the runnoff. Having delayed the unpleasantness as long as possible, Asher emerged into the awful weather to be dampened all over.
He isn't his normal cheerful, chatty self in the rain. He decides he won't be good company to anyone today and moves to the front of the caravan. He hoped the rain would stop as he pulled his hooded cloak closer. At least, he thought as he eyed the sky, I'll only be drenched for a day.

Subject: New player seeking advice
It sure is nice to find an rpg format such as this... All the rpgs I am accustomed to are face2face. I'm interested in advice you may have for a beginner for this format of gaming.
P.S. Love the character sheets!
