(what about Great Weapon Master? Or Tough? Tough would give you an extra 8 life and an extra +2 every subsequent level on top of regular gains? Great Weapon Master would allow you to reduce ur roll by 5 for the chance to increase ur damage on a hit by 10. Both seem pretty dope.)

(Figured instead of an AoE like Thunderwave, Dissonant Whispers could be used instead in case i draw aggro or somebody gets grappled. Causes 3d6 psychic damage and the targeted creature to run away as far as possible from me in fear as a reaction if successful. 👏)

Snerp looks over the book with Grahf to see if he can glean anything from it as well.

lets dig up the bodies. One of the hints mentioned something being buried at a crossroads between life and death.

@Greyparrot
lol I was a little miffed at the emoji thing. But ur reads are fairly accurate generally and you can lead town to lynches fairly well. So it was a big enough threat to merit removing you.
Tbh i thought you were cop too 😂

@TheDredPriateRoberts
can we redo our spells before setting out again
(Long resting when we've only been in a minor fight and it's close to Midday, AND we have to make haste lest we be caught in the open by Strahd, seems like it's the kind of choice that's begging for a DM arranged ambush cause we're slow playing and being wusses by abusing mechanics 😂. )

After getting the horses tended to, Snerp spends time talking to various Vistani inquiring as to various goods that may be purchased throughout the camp.
(Can we just get a rough breakdown? Or do i need to talk to each Vistani individually? If the latter it's fine, just figured it could save some time 😂.)

Very well, we all appreciate the help Eva.
Snerp bows
Hopefully we meet again, but we should make our way to Vallaki with haste. Thank you again
Snerp turns to walk out of the tent. Before he exits to seeing out the person in charge of the horses so they can be prepped to leave, he asks.
Btw, do you have a merchant at this Vistani camp? Anything for sale beyond horses to rent perhaps?

@drafterman
Is there any way we could arrange the horses to travel to Krezk? Given your prophecy I'm thinking we should pay the renowned Abbott there a visit to inquire about this holy weapon you've foreseen.

Idk it all depends. Mafia is as much a game of persuasion as it is behavioral analysis fmpov. Like if i have a strong TR on someone, I'ma buddy em or not find it sus if someone strong TR's me then buddies me.
If town can generally get a bloc of 2 or 3 votes together they can usually dictate DP's. The concern would be that scum are in that bloc tho.

I won't claim some sort of magical insight here, but when I get buddied that triggers something of a Spider Sense
I'll need to remember this. Usually buddying an active player works decent, but that's if the person isn't inclined to be sus of those who buddy 😂.

What you seek lies at the crossroads of life and death, among the buried dead.
(Maybe those graves by the gallows at the fork? Or perhaps maybe the abbey in Krezk? Idk, these hints are kinda vague. Prolly will become clearer the further we progress.)

I can aid you in your quest, if you are so interested.
Snerp raises his eye brow and gets a sly grin on his face
It all depends on what you mean by "aid" now doesn't it?
He then winks at Eva. Really pouring on the flattery and flirting, he sits down and continues speaking.
I'm all ears sweetheart, what else beyond your beauty and wit can you offer us 😋.
(No shit, as someone who has alot of experience in service, i can attest to how old ladies eat this kind of shit up. Let's hope Eva is similar 😂.)

I essentially mirrored you most of DP1. You were rightfully sus if that's what you noticed 😂. You said you buddied me though. Breh, I was up ur ass DP1. Then shallowly deviated when deviating was totally meaningless.
Idk what GP was going on about emojis. But me sheeping you and deviating only right at the end, was a huge tell 😂. "He's been doing much the same as me, can't exactly scum read him". I saw that and was like, "shit he noticed 😂😂"

@Vader
A goon mafia has the same role as a town cop. Having a cop/healer/cop 1x vs a 2x town cop is not unfair. It favors town, but it is balanced especially with stalker out first night. I think it was very fair and balance. I will gladly have a debate about this!
Ok, go ahead and explain how a goon is the same as a cop. And how does deaths via a game affect overall balance to game at start/overall?
Did you know beforehand one of the PR's would be killed?
Having a bodyguard does actually offer less of an advantage. But in an even playered game town starts with an extra lynch than would otherwise be had with seven.
Classic set up at 7 players has 2 goons, town cop and doc. But it's also a night start, which means mafia get a kill first and PR's get results. This totally changes balance concerns.
Overall it wasn't a super I'm balanced set-up, really just minor. But you straight rigged the game by adding GP back in when he was killed specifically to get him out of the game.
Then extending LYLO by whole two additional days? Town came back because you fed them that comeback. 3 day DP for DP3 like every previous results in a no lynch.
Like I said in the chatzy. I can understand frustrations that games fall apart due to inactivity. But thats no excuse for directly countering as a mod the only tool you gave mafia in the game to influence the direction of DP's beyond communication, the night kill.
In the future, try running replacements by mafia first. If there is reasonable objection, heed it. "We killed this person to get them out of the game" is a more than valid reason. You basically countered one of the fundamental advantages mafia has in the game itself. That is control of which townies remain in the game and which don't.
If you want to still do it, it's your game, by all means do so, I'll just sit out future ones.

Well I'm not one to keep someone who has been expecting us waiting...I'm just confused how she knows us.
Snerp walks into Madame Eva's tent.
We were told you were expecting us? How do you know of us Eva?

@TheDredPriateRoberts
I suppose we'll be introduced or taken to the leader
(If coach and horse rentals are a part of what they do, fail to see why we'd need to meet their leader. But if that happens, meh, we'll deal with it as it comes.
Being captured seems a bit far fetched, but who knows, maybe they're all working for strahd 😂.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
(let's just stay quiet about that. For now, if asked, i think we should just say we came to Barovia to see the Abbott and speak with him. The reason can just be chalked up to Eikka and the two disguised being compelled here by Zud but still being uncertain, as is his way, about why.
Maybe there is an artisan guild member here? Try asking my dude, maybe we can get a sweet deal on something.)

Greetings!
Snerp speaks with a friendly smile as the group approaches
We were told that horses and perhaps even a coach could be rented here while we were in town? Is that true?

That spell only lasts like a minute at a time.
(Up to an hour duration and it's a cantrip so i can cast it as many times as I want 😂😂. Limit 3 simultaneous. But I cast it on all of the goop when it was in the container. which is what smells the worst. 😏😎)

Gotta say you shouldn't even be posting because you shouldn't and arent yet in the game. I'm already done with it. 5 day DP when every other one has been 3.
We had zero PR's. Purposely eliminated both you and Drafter because we realized it would coast us to an easy no lynch. And oh no, let's just replace you back in so town can actually reach a consensus.
Noob ass mods rigging games against mafia cause they suck as town and don't realize forum mafia already advantages town because it's extended and recorded 😂.
Good game. Nice scum read on me DP1 👏👏.

I agree, we should. Rent some horses or a coach at the Vistani camp and be on our way with a short pit stop to see Maggie 🎿🔥

Very well then, disguising it is.
Snerp pulls the group off of the road and out of sight then pulls out his disguise kit and gets to work. When he is finished Ismarck and Ireena look like half-orcs, very much as if they could be related to Eikka.

(I think Donavich stayed behind,
Ireena consoles Donavich and encourages him to get some rest. As they make to leave the village, Ireean appears distant and distracted.
If he's gonna rest, he very well couldn't have been walking the whole time 😂.)

@drafterman
5 silvers not too bad. But I would suggest either I disguise the two of you or we split up while the coach or horses are rented. We don't need any word of your departure being relayed by the Vistani to Strahd.
Snerp continues looking over the graves.
(Does anything seem off? Are the graves old or fresh?)

Snerp walks over to the grave and observes the plots, weighing the options as he does.
How much are the horses?
