The steady murmur of the inn quiets as Snerp plays his lute. When he is finished a number of patrons toss some coppers (15) his way

Why thank you, we'll need 5 beds. We aren't actually with the circus, but I came to talk to the Burgomaster about putting on a concert for the festival, as I am a traveling bard.
Snerp pulls out his lute and begins to play a classic Turami melody in staccato(This Turami melody sounds very much like Flamenco), his fingers dancing across the strings as he continues to speak while raising his eyebrow and smirking,
Perhaps you and I can make a business arrangement for me to put on a performance here tonight, draw in some business for you, make some money for my companions and I alongside that?

(I have 245 gold on me from the sales in the first town. I started with 15. That'll be split 5 ways after a 10% group fee to be saved for a rainy occasion.
Although, I would advise subtracting the 200gp needed to silver a couple weapons for you and grahf. But that's up to the group as a whole.

Snerp walks over to the stern lady and bows
Good evening, we were directed here by the town guard in regards to lodging. We came for the festival and I'm in need of rooms for myself and my companion. What rooms do you have available and for what cost?

I have no entertainment skills so.....at least nothing that currently comes to mind)
(No worries, i have plenty of lute skills. Plus if we find someone who we could use more info out of, or other potential uses like greasing someone to help, or even grease the Burgomaster to pay more 😉, I can use Unearthly Chorus during the festival performance on them if we can get them in view of me when I'm mid performance to charm them friendly and double persuasion checks on them 😮👏)

Snerp travels to the inn to make arrangements for the group to stay for the night.(what's cost?)

hunt wolves for exp and profit!
(How about, talk to burgomaster and get me a spot in the festival(for profit). Then hunt wolves(for profit). Perhaps use a day to investigate haunted mansion(for potential loot and profit. Maybe check out "Mad Wizard" to see if he is helpful in some fashion, but idk about that 😂.)

I understand your words, Snerp, but I need... time to think. Come visit me at the burgmaster's in a day or two

(most def. What we should do is stick around for that festival. We can also talk to the burgomaster and i can offer my services as a bard in his upcoming festival.
If we investigate around me getting a set for a concert in the festival would provide a convenient opportunity to potentially charm anyone who needs to be to get more info or something else out of them maybe. Idk, spitballing. But me being a bard gives us inroads to talking to the Burgomaster.)

haunted mansion sounds like a premade death for us)
(Sounds like a dungeon is what it sounds like. The mad mage sounds like, "we get ourselves wrecked by a high level NPC" time.
On this episode the adventuring gang and Snerpy Doo investigate a haunted mansion? 😂.)

Ireena stops and sighs. What? We're here. You got me here "safely." That's the end of our arrangement.
You can leave, or you can go. Our arrangement only ever stood so long as you agreed to it. But Ismarcks death does not mean he is fully gone. There are ways to return him to life. I wanted to offer for you to join us, and help, and get help, in finding that way.
Snerp bows his head in shame, as he continues,
I could certainly understand not wanting to. You were not wrong in it being foolish to stop and try to kill the hags. And that's my fault for being insistent on it. You see, when I was younger I had a sister, she got kidnapped and we never found her again. I was not of sound mind and the similarities compromised my sense and caution. The blame for that lies on me and I'm truly sorry. Whether you choose to go, or choose to help, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me, forgive us, for what has happened 😢.

Snerp runs after Ireena
Wait!, He yells as he darts after her, acrobatically weaving his way through the crowd somehow managing to not run into anyone.

we'd need some major contacts in an appropriate religion/guild, resurrect is powerful and probably not all the common, or cheap)
(True, the abbey in Krezk seems a likely place fmpov. Lathander(Morninglord) is all about stuff like that.

Snerp steps forward and bows, we are but humble travelers not from this land. I am Snerp Finkleskitzle, pleased to meet you. What are your names if I may ask?

Planted in the ground and flanking the road outside the gates are a half-dozen pikes with wolves' heads impaled on them.
Snerp nervously laughs, I think it's safe to say there aren't many dog people in this city.

(We can probably Wish Ismark back.)
(It's doubtful we find a wish scroll, thats Uber rare and the most powerful spell in the game. But a true resurrect isn't totally out of the realm of feasibility. Though now we'd have to find 2 for both Doru and Ismarck.

this sucks as it's the only real edge, pun intended I have against many of these creatures)
(We have enough gold to silver a weapon or two if we pool it together. But it'd require waiting around for it to complete. Might not be the worst idea when we get to Vallaki.)

You know, you could run, and then we could make new characters and join you and try to fix this

@roberts- switch that silver sword to main hand and get your ability modifier in on that bish 😂.)

Melee Weapon Attack: d20 (16) = 5 = 21, Hit!][Shortsword Damage: d6 (2) = 2 piercing damage]
(Isn't RAW that strength modifier gets added to weapon attacks(Dex or Str for finesse?). Hit rolls get proficiency bonus + strength/Dex modifier. Attack rolls just add strength/Dex modifier
Pg. 176 PHb- "attack rolls and damage."
"You add your strength modifier to your attack roll and your damage roll when attacking with a melee weapon.(same goes for Dex based attack roles.)"
Page 194 PhB- "attack rolls"
Ability modifier: Str/Dex w/melee weaponsProficiency Bonus: for melee weapons PC has prof in. And when you attack with a spell.
^^but this is just for attack(hit) roll. Damage doesn't add proficiency modifier.)

The description of the ability says only on spells that use a spell slot
(Shoot, ur not wrong. I figured it didn't cause Grahf earlier was able to change damage type on a cantrip i I think. But could have been misremembering.)

@kindertina
(@Lux- are you seeing she has been resistant to cold and fire? Change the damage type to something different if you can so the damage wont be halved 👍.)
@roberts- hags are also resistant to bludgeon, pierce, and slash damage from non-magical weapons, so use the silver sword if you don't want the damage getting halved 👍. (Nvm, already using it xD.)

I ran 2 edition but my character generation process is a variant with a build your own class system
(2e is solid AF. Idk how i feel about "building a class" but 3e/3.5e had books for that, so it could probably work if done right. I assume you just follow a "purchase" system wherein you have an allotted number of "points" and those points can be used to "buy", different features, spells, spell slots, abilities, etc.?
You not wrong though, maybe Roberts and Lux can clutch this 👏💯.)

My old school rules are homebrew though.
(Again, what do you mean by "rules"? Which edition are you using?)
Created:

@secularmerlin
I'll take my turn and my rules are super home brewed
(What do you mean by "rules". I homebrew some items, crafting, and monsters. Buts it's not super game altering and OP stuff. Usually just reskinning for monsters to suit theme, have an old crafting system ive been updating for 5e too.
I was surprised masterwork stuff was removed. But 5e is finely balanced, so OP and even moderate magic items seem to swing the challenge curve to the easier end if not limited in distribution or the items reduced in power.
I really don't know how well even simple homebrew systems translate to 5e, I haven't tried any homebrew stuff or really anything with 5e yet, so idk if even nerfed magic items and the like screw up balance too much. I'll figure out more this weekend when my own RL group kicks off on the campaign and bare-bones crafting systems and different magic items I've made in seeing whethere they end up shifting the balance too extremely to one end or the other.)

Well I'd have rather she was dead but out of the fight is out of the fight.

Yeah, he can try and shove them aside, but that would use his action)
(Might be worth a try, but trying to finish off Bella might be worth a try too. You have Breathe Weapon too still, no? It's a tough call, cause on one hand Bella is almost dead, on the other, both other PC's with healing capabilities are down 😐.)

(dang 😐. What if say Grahf tried pushing through them, or pushing them backwards so as to try and trip them over Eikka or get in range of her?
Ex: Grahf tries to tackle one of them backwards towards Eikka, reaching out for her to try to use Lay on Hands as he does? Athletics Check maybe?)
Created:

@drafterman
(if Luxraxt levitates Eikka into the air, would that allow Grahf to Lay on Hands her. Or is its range on touch?)
Created:
Posted in:
(@everyone- so Grahf is the only one left up who has heals and and he's cornered. We're screwed unless Offalia is killed so Grahf can then move out of the corner and get Eikka in his Line of Sight to Lay on Hands her.
That seems to be about the only realistic option beyond abandoning me, Eikka, Ismarck, Ireena, and the kids to die 😂.
Hrmmmm.....)

@drafterman
(is there even enough space to really move around in the first floor like that?)
(@everyone- I'm just gonna say, we totally fucked up not using the stairs to funnel these guys one at a time like i tried suggesting. Prolly too late at this point to correct that mistake now tho. But if we get out of this we've got to start paying extra attention to positioning and tactics, cause this is the second fight now thats been made far more difficult because positioning, environment, and LoS are being largely ignored.)

(just keep attacking Offalia for now I guess. Merlins gotta get healed, then I do, then we can disengage and run upstairs to jump out the top with feather fall. Thats if nobody else goes down lol.)

(I suppose the choice before us is, do we fight it out and go down swinging? Or try and run? If the latter, I have a feather fall, I'm sure we can arrange something where I cast it on the max allowed then anyone it's casted on carries those for whom it wasn't.)
