Side Quest, Episode 3: Felines and Frostbite

[Brave Sir Robin]

So as you can probably hear from the episode, I had a lot of fun recording this one, there was a great deal that made me laugh.

We've seen religion play a role in the campaign before now, through Zolf, but it came to the fore again in this episode. I'm interested to see what people think of that.

Those paying very close attention will notice that Tjelvar never had a full set of directions, but the exact details of this were never revealed. I literally gave him a sheet with some missing information on it, and some intentionally wrong information on it. However, through intuition and logic he managed to get very close to the final location of the tomb anyway, and then we had the final push to the actual location as you have now heard. rainbowdeity actually did manage to figure out part of the solution to the puzzle just after a recording session, but it didn't end up being relevant to the story.

#spoiler how do we know it's the right tomb!?

Also Fairly certain there was a typo there cos I don't remember seeing Zolf in the Alps...

Well, Edward, the divine beam of guiding light is normally a pretty big clue.

And yes, thank you, done a edit, because I was being stoopid.

He was so much fun.

Lots of beautiful moments throughout and Edward is an absolute hoot to listen to I can just imagine the number of groups that would be howling if their paladin 'wasted' healing on the animal they were fighting. And Bertie's prayer to Artemis is sublime.

One (probably minor) point rules-wise: Social skill rolls aren't supposed to be used on Player Characters, so Tjelvar's Diplomacy roll shouldn't have (as written) had any bearing on Edward's attitude. Though, obviously, he could still have been mollified by the actual speech.
