@SP, I'm assuming Nissa uses water from a waterskin when she cleans Burnbright, and that Burnbright wears the ring so the cold water doesn't bother her. I forgot to add that in my PM.

I have to share SP's play-by-PM bits with my characters. They're too well-written to not share! Maybe I'll wait until both Baldhart and Nissa are finished the PM play and post a compilation.

They had the internet shut off, but it still works today. No telling how long I will have it.

When you said chain shirt did you mean chainmail?

Well… I'll just show you so you can see this aspect of the game. Sometimes characters who separate from the group will get info that other characters can't possibly know.
Baldhart's private conversation with Tarlack may or may not surprise you, but I'll wait until it's done and the important stuff is known in-game before showing SP's post. I've been posting some of her actions because other characters can see her, even though they can't hear her and Tarlack's words. Your characters, if they look in her direction, might notice that Baldhart is in a very good mood and is being polite to Tarlack (and Skivver when he passes by).
Nissa did have a surprise waiting for her when she got to the kids. There's no harm in showing it, though, since there's nothing your characters can possibly do with this information.
Nissa told Burnbright the battle went well, but confessed to the sleep poison rendering her useless. The children knew that someone died, but now Nissa told which child. She's pretty pissed about the death, and seeing that a kobold attacked Burnbright—one who had no way of knowing about the alliance—she put a sword to the creature's throat and gave him hell, verbally. But she was careful so say and repeat Tarlack's name (for emphasis) in case it was all that the kobold would understand.
Now she's given her sword to the boy, Gunnar, and she's taking the chance that the kobold will cooperate. If not, she's already told Burnbright if the kobold attacks again, she can use her spear.
I predict the kobold will cooperate, but I'll know for certain when SP sends his next PM.

A chain shirt is basically inferior chainmail. See the image in this post.
Chain shirt = +4 AC
Chainmail = +5 AC
I know it's a typo, but I was tempted to say that's the male version of the chainmail bikini. Y'know, like boxer shorts made out of chainmail? Okay, so that it's actually a really lame joke delivered real lamely is the other reason I opted for the straight answer.

Okay, and oops I will edit the post after I finish typing this, the reason I asked about if it was chainmail I would want one.
EDIT: I have to say I love the joke you m
made out of my typo.

Play by pm is good when secrets are needed or for scouts.
Sneaky scouts and thieves use them. (Aliron is both.) "You'll always follow the voices from beneath."

You guys are free to share PMs if you like. If they include information other characters don't know yet, people can RP accordingly.
Yeah, I thought Burnbight's victory was too funny to keep to myself, but Nissa probably wouldn't tell about the tunic.
Baldhart is more likely to tell all in-game, so I'll just hold out until then. Seeing how the first part went well, I'm guessing the second part will too. I threw in one more thing Baldy would say that would need a response. Unless the conversation ends up going in a surprisingly negative direction, I'll likely post her next response in the main thread and have her finish the preparations for battle.

Expect an update today. Yesterday proved to be impossible as I got pulled into a case and needed a detailed memorandum done by 9 this morning. I've been at the office since 4:30 AM, which means (I hope) that I'll be able to leave early, at which point I'll update and go to sleep 
Awesome, SP!
@Ireth, interesting choice of words. I tend to keep Baldhart's character history in the back of my mind, but I actually have detailed thoughts of her family. (More her than characters like Hanako and Addison, from the other MS RPGs.) I won't get into it all now, since if we talk about it out-of-game, it's kind of a drag to bring it up in-game should there be a moment for that kind of interaction.
The short version that doesn't kill potential RP'ing: my justification for Baldhart's charisma as her 3rd prime (despite intelligence being her 3rd-strongest trait) is because of Mother's training.

Wow, Cadell and Liadan are in sync. Identical readied shooting and damage rolls!
If they shoot the same target, this might be a very short battle. Well, assuming Baldhart's weaker-than-usual grip is enough.
I figure if Baldy can grab a guy as he opens the door, she doesn't have to worry about an opportunity of attack. I think I'll have her clarify her thought out loud.

Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but I don't recall Bressel having a bow (if it's not one of the little crossbows). Last I knew, he borrowed Cadell's last time he needed one (which was quite a while ago), and then gave it back. Where'd he get the one he's using now?
He got a crossbow from the first drow that was killed--same one who had the first 12 sleepy-bolts.
He fired it once in that last battle.

I assumed if I rolled a natural 20, Baldhart still wouldn't see the aura. But rolling a 1 gave me a laugh!

Very tempting to have Liadan try to see Zoran's aura, but I don't want to seem like I'm trying to one-up Baldy. :/
You could potentially twenty-one-up that crappy roll.
