I'm not sure Kalinda's vote is set in stone, although yeah she seemed to lean toward that direction maybe

Yes, that is Kalinda's vote.

Daos, does Poppy know the name of the group?

No, she's never had an opportunity to interrogate one and find out. All she knows is they all sport the same tattoo somewhere on their body.

So I take it all of you are done with this chapter then?

Do you mean this first day? If so yes, but there are still things I was planning on doing the following days

Are you referring to downtime stuff?
I had initially planned to close the first chapter after the first day, skip a week ahead (handling downtime stuff OOC) and start the second chapter there.
Did you all want to play out the whole week, though?

Hmm.. I'm not sure about the whole week, but there were definitely a few conversations with some NPCs (Olivia, Crane, and Pike) I wanted to have.
They're all at the palace though, so maybe if it's not a problem for the others to wait I could carry those during the evening of the first day.

I didn't want to play out the whole week. I did want to recruit an NPC or two, but I figured that could be done during the downtime.

Alright, then let's knock out Matt's scenes really quick before closing the chapter up.

Alright, Chapter One is complete. I will work on getting XP and summary up when I can.
In the meantime, let's talk about downtime. The party has a week of it, which isn't a lot, but you can do something with that time. I'll go over some possible downtime activities. Let me know what your character will be doing during this week.
Build a Stronghold (way too expensive)
Carouse - If your character wants to spend the week getting drunk and having fun, something interesting might happen, like making new friends (or winding up in jail).
Court - If your character has a crush or a sweetheart, they can attempt to deepen their relationship.
Craft Magic Item (too low level)
Gain Renown (not enough time)
Run a Business (nobody owns a business)
Sell Magic Items (nothing to sell)
Sow Rumors (not enough time)
Buy Magic Items (too expensive)
Craft Mundane Item - If your character has the tools and proficiency in a crafting skill, they can attempt to make something to use or to sell.
Crime - Be gay, do crime. Being gay is optional, though. You can try and do a crime and earn quite a bit of money, but getting caught could really screw things up for you.
Gamble - Risk it all on a die roll, how very meta. Try not to go into debt, though.
Pit Fight - The first rule about Pit Fighting is don't talk about Pit Fighting...because it's illegal in Elonnori territories. But Si'ahl is a big place and if you want to box, wrestle or otherwise perform non-lethal combat for money, you can probably find someone somewhere in the garden willing to accommodate.
Relax - Take it easy. Heal up.
Religious Service - Looking to buddy up with the church? Spend the week at the grove, praying, participating in rites and spreading the good word.
Research - Need to know something, try researching it.
Scribe Spell Scroll - If you have the resources, ability and proficiency in Arcana, you can try to scribe a scroll for later use or to sell.
Train (not enough time)
Work - If your character has a day job, or wants to get one, they can try and earn a little money during the week.
There are also other, lesser activities you can do that don't take up the whole week. Let me know.
In addition, I'll be posting a little interview thing over in the Character Creation thread. Check it out if you want to flesh out your character a bit, as well as earn some Inspiration or extra XP.

Ooh, I'll do the Religious Service. April's very pious, after all.

Alrighty. April will spend the bulk of her week at Nyik Grove, praying and performing rites and such. This costs her no money. Go ahead and have her make either a Religion or Persuasion check, your choice. Also let's have a percentile roll to see if she runs into any complications.

Okay, that's pretty good. No complications and she now has one favor from the church.
Basically, while working at Nyik Grove, she meets the head druid there, a young wild elf woman named Vaporie. She is so impressed with April's work, she offers her a favor from Nyik Grove. A favor can be expended to ask the grove for help in dealing with a specific problem, for general political or social support, or to reduce the cost of spellcasting by 50%. She can have up to her CHA mod+1 in favors (so 4 total), so she need not expend this favor right away unless she wants to.
