OK: Lyrel. @Runekyndig - I've sent you some ideas for how we might narratively say that Lyrel was drawn to Orlane. Once you've chosen, I'll fold you into the action at the earlier opportunity (how it happens depends on precisely when it happens, in part because the PCs are being stealthy right now).

Just wanted to post a reminder for everyone about the rule for training to gain levels we're using:

IF you are committed to gaining a level in the same class your PC has currently, then you can use this thread and gain HP (and increased attack modifier, if applicable) for the new level. You do not get any of the other features of the new level until you train.

If you want to advance in the same level, either:
a) post that your PC is taking the "average" HP (plus CON mod) in this thread,
or
b) roll a hit die for the HP gain in this thread, then add your PC's CON mod.

If you choose for your PC to gain a level in a class they don't already have (ie, multiclass), you'll need to wait to be trained to gain HP.

Looking at the chart of PC experience points, I'll point out that Arya, Chase, Ember, Morton, and Myrtha all have this choice to make now.

Ah. With the above in mind Morton is following his previous class and really likes the 6 more HP. Nice to visit trainer Dirk Gerald. 30gp & 2 days training. :) Do think Morton will have the needed coin. Is this trainer in Hochoch?

Staring into the darkness, Arya feels a new resolve.
OOC:
Though I will be finding a way to extricate Arya from the party, in the meantime I will roll for her HP gain. As a player, I like to take the "average" every other level, so since she got max HP at first level, this time I'm rolling.

Rolls

Arya HP gain (plus CON mod) - (1d8+2)

(7) + 2 = 9

Good catch - I missed putting that in the cast of characters list. Yes, all the trainers that the party knows of are in Hochoch, except for Ramne in Orlane. I've updated the list.

Morton gives the idea to travel to Hochoch. Two day there is in his mind right now. Although the extra 6 HP now makes him harder to just die from some massive damage hit. That is cool. A visit to this scribe and parchment maker is in his future right now. And of course, with new coin, shopping is good. No poorer Morton who can't even afford rations.

He so much needs some teleporting magic. :)

I'm open to the idea; I can't think of any official ones that I think are a poor fit (aside from the 5.5 materials), but let me know what you're considering, as I don't imagine that I know them all.

Oh, that's fine. It's also thematically very appropriate, given the adventures Chase has had so far. Now the question is just when Chase will be able to train to get those benefits.

Lyrel will become a bladesinger as has always been the plan.
But I have lost track of how much coin we got and the price of levelup.

Myrtha will keep taking levels as a fighter. I believe she’ll be taking the Battlemaster archetype.

3rd level hit points increase - (1d10+2)

(10) + 2 = 12

Here are the explanations:

training to gain levels – DMG 131
When you earn enough XP to gain a level, your HP and attack modifiers go up immediately if you are gaining a level in the same class. But any other gain of new abilities - or gaining a level in a new class - requires that you spend some time with a trainer in the class to learn the new abilities. This almost always requires returning to town.

Note: in this game, all of the trainers that the party has found (so far) charge for training. Training involves working with a trainer and costs 15GPx(target level) and a number of days equal to the target level. So training to level 2 will cost a character 30 gold eagles and two days, level 3 would cost 45 gold eagles and take three days, etc.

Ember will be continuing the path of the rogue. Her new hit points are 11.
