Fellowship Phase - Chatter

[Vardaen]

Part of the problem was I was refreshing Hope incorrectly and we fixed that half way through. From here on out I suspect it will get a bit more sticky. Also at certain points, based on Fellowship Focus you can recover a point here or there also.

[Vardaen]

No one was wounded. We had many a Weary companion, but no wounds.

[Blubbo_Baggins]

I ask because if your Focus is wounded, you gain a point of Shadow (I think), and three if your Focus is killed.

That's good to know.

[Vardaen]

Mmm, we might not be finished depending on how you'd like to resolve your primary incentive for goign north with Radgast. Anyhow, keep RPing I think for the most part its okay to level up.

[Blubbo_Baggins]

Oh, I'm fine if we need to wait to spend XP. You probably saw that I did so with AP in the doc. But, we can ignore it if we decided to continue this adventure longer (fine with me!).

Also, Finn wants to return to Laketown, but since this will be a short Fellowship phase, I think I'll have him stay here. I like the idea of making the Easterly Inn a Sanctuary....at least I have a good story tie-in for why Finn would want to do that. And it would make sense for Finn to return to Laketown when Wren and Varuthil want to make a trip back to the Woodland Realm, so the three of them spend part of a Fellowship Phase together.

Anyway, just a few thoughts.

If the party wants, we can return to Radagast and have a small scene that will sow some seeds for later on. They were on a mission of the Brown Wizard after all.

I'm just curious - this was the 3rd adventure for the whole fellowship (everyone else I mean), right?

How have you guys been handling Treasure? When Treasure is found, if not spent to increase Standing, can you store it in a Sanctuary (or invest it in a Holding)? I haven't seen rules for the latter (investing it), but it seems like a fun idea if it could be worked out somehow.

[Vardaen]

So far the group hasn't collected much Treasure. I was just considering what to do with it. They haven't spent any beyond some simply RP during Fellowship Phases. However I was thinking they could store/stash it at a Sanctuary so they aren't lugging it around. I would also love the idea of investing it into a Holding. Right now no one has expressed any interest in a holding, and the game hasn't really gone that way yet, still feels kinda new guys getting their footing sort of thing, but I'm up for exploring a holding.

[Trogdor]

I wouldn't mind looking into a Holding. But it might be nice if we had some Treasure first.

Yes true, Dody owes you a bit of a reward still
