Feats, Mission Refuses Help
Subject: addendum; leveling up!
OOC: How do we know if our characters have earned the right to choose a new feat? (I looked in the open source for something, but it implied that if you have the prerequisites, you can take the feat, whatever it may be, and as many as you had the prerequisites for-- which can't be right, can it?)
Are you rolling for the new level hp, or are we?

Subject: addendum; leveling up!
Characters gain just one feat every three levels (at 1st level, 3rd level, 6th level, etc.) Humans start with one bonus feat, and some classes -- like fighters and wizards -- get bonus feats as part of their progression.

The feats are:
Garyth 2 (one of which is a bonus fighter feat)
Rennik 1 + animal companion
Mission 2 (one of which is a bonus monk feat) + slow fall 30'
Cadfael 1
Sa'id 1
Farron 1

"Do you have a blanket in your bedroll? Hot though it may be, it is best to be wrapped up when ill. I am not well-acquainted with curing such illnesses, however... but if it's possible, perhaps you should skip taking watch tonight." With this, he turns to the rest of the party. "I think Farron is right, we should camp in the tunnel. Perhaps we should even follow it on its course tomorrow rather than returning to the surface... but that is something we can discuss once our camp is set."

Mission looks concerned. "Something is not right." He coughs, and nods at Sa'id. "I have a blanket, yes."
He looks at the mage, a little alarm in his eyes. "This jungle is. . . not natural." He coughs again.
"I can't be sick, Sa'id. Sickness is illusion, and Veracity taught me. . . something."
He's rambling. Mission knows it. And so he swallows, and takes a deep breath. "It's not natural," he repeats.

Once they move into the hole, Mission will heed Sa'id's advice. He'll put on the robe that he picked up from the zombie for extra warmth, and will not volunteer for watch tonight.

OOC: Yikes, if Mission got it then it must be a pretty hard core disease, since monks are supposed to be immune to normal diseases. Are Heal checks good against supernatural or magical diseases?

[OOC: I didn't know that... Wow.]
"I may be able to help a little bit," Sa'id says, "at least with the breathing." He looks as though he's about to cast a spell, but then, remembering Mission's aversion to magic, he pauses and grins at the monk. "Don't worry, it's harmless. I'm just going to try to cool the air around your head so you don't feel so stuffy. It should last about an hour." [Prestidigitation]

In this case, no. But Cadfael has a 3rd level spell that would help.

Subject: Re: The jungle; looking for holes
Mission shakes his head. "No, Sa'id. If anyone is listening for magery, I don't want to alert them."
He spreads his palms in apology. "I don't mean to insult you. But I'm not so sick that I can't abide a little warm air."
And underground, things would be cooler anyway. Mission peers into the hole and shivers. Blood be stone.

Sa'id quirks an eyebrow. "I understand your concernt, but I don't really think that's necessary. I had, in fact, planned to work a fair amount of magic both tonight and possibly tomorrow morning with Farron, investigating the magical nature of some of the items we have found. Like that robe, for instance, and a ring I found on the halfling cleric at the lodge."
"In light of your concern, though, I will speak of this to the others first to see if they share your view. I'm confident that the risk is negligble, but as we've seen, my words aren't always heeded around here." He says this last with a wink and then moves to talk to Farron.
[OOC: Sa'id will help the others set up camp -- preferably in the sewer -- before broaching the subject of massive amounts of identifying and disarming trapped spellbooks with Farron.]

Garyth is glad to see the hole, if for no other reason than to get away from the heat and the accursed insects. Hopefully this night will pass without trouble.
Hearing the exchange between Sa'id and Mission, Garyth interjects. "We're in enemy territory, Mission, and from all we can tell, they already have some idea of our position. We can't afford to have anyone at anything other than full combat readiness. I think you should accept all the help you can get." He glances uneasily toward Cadfael as he finishes, though he tries outwardly to pretend that he didn't. Given the... events of this morning Mission probably wanted nothing to do with the priest, and Garyth could hardly blame him.
