Character creation. PHB+Xanathar. I didn't realize Monster Hunter was a Xanathar subclass.
Shopping: Sell scale mail armor for 25 and buy hide for 10. Use that money to buy: 5 flasks of oil, tent, crampons, extra 2 days rations, bedroll, 2 waterskins, pouch, sack, tinderbox, iron pot, 2 tankards, 2 blankets, fishing tackle, mess kit, signal whistle, 5 candles.

Survived an avalanche and a snowy owl bear. Found pink hat and mittens, and letter, for Jordan. (Delivered them eventually. Not much happened.) Had to give up the Goggles of the Night later due to magic item limit.

Sold hide armor for 5. Bought chain shirt for 50.

Hung out with Goliath's. Story award: One Man's Junk.

Bought two more handaxes, and a battleaxe.

Story Award: Look for Jordan. Had to get rid of the goggles of night in order to take the boots of springing and striding.

Purchased a second battleaxe, to go with my inadvisable but fun dual wielding feat.

Sought assistance from chwingas.

Healer's kit, just in case. And another 20 arrows.

Started by killing the owlbear, and finished by killing the druid. Epic. Played with Bahama Mamas - group of 4 dragonborn missionaries for Bahamat. (Initially confused about levels. I DO gain a level after one adventure, per Season 10 rules, even at Tier 2.)

Learned about planetary invaders (Neogi), but didn't actually accomplish anything. Lt. Fruk (Grif/hippo) wants us to rescue his people, dozen of them. Gave us the pass phrase "The bigger the boom, the brighter the flash, the thicker the smoke, the better the weapon." The Neogi are currently hunting our Goliath friends, and have taken some of them. There are at least two groups of Neogi. We have a holographic recording of their plans, and some plastic crates (4'x4') with the contents of a desk.

Captured Goliaths story award.

Run by the author. Rescue mission from Easthaven to the Missing Mountain - a plateau that looks like the top half of a mountain is missing. We find an ancient temple to the forgotten god Jergal, Scribe of the Dead. I bought an axe beak so I could keep up with everyone else. Two people we came to rescue are already dead. Lots of undead here too. Sacred Moose helps us fight the undead.

Earned 90 gp because mission was only 3 hours.

Threw chain shirt in the trash, I guess?
Bought breastplate -400
Bought axe beak - 50 (peer pressure)
Bought flask of holy water -25

Traded away my unused Robe of Useful items for Boots of the Winterlands through Fai Chen at the Phoenix Vusion Group online convention Spring Into May.

Wasn't supposed to be in this mission, but things got a little mixed up. Not my fault. Anyhow, I was going to run this eventually. Run into some dragonborn ghosts, then tiny little mindflayers. Nearly get killed by an animated statue. I guess we learn that some lost city of Dragonborn folks was trying to do something really dumb, and it ended badly.

As a trinket, I get the toe of a frost giant. Was that a necklace or something?

Old Goat sent us off to find hunters. Not clear where Kaspar is. We couldn't get our mounts down a cliff into the cave, which was annoying. Killed a nyogi, then its two pets ran off. We wander a nightmare city underground, things contantly playing tricks with our minds. We find a statue that seems to suck in magic, robbing one of our casters of a spell slot. So I smack it with a battleaxe, and a magic mace falls out. That was unexpected. Eventually we find evidence that all the goliaths and nyogi were slaughtered by some other enemy, which then comes for us. We run. Some random chance stuff, but we get lucky and make it out. The end.

We go back to the city of nightmares to plant a bomb. Nearly a team wipe with the first encounter, then some oddly easy stuff, then a big, fun fight at the end. Plant the bombs and run away. Some goliaths appear out of nowhere to join us. No idea how they survived. I think we got lucky with some wisdom saving throws. And I'm glad we got lucky, because I get the impression that with less luck we would have been pretty darn screwed, maybe fatally, or worse.

Bit of a miserable slog, really. 100% non-stop combat. Not a single moment of rest. Absolutely no RP or exploration. No use of any skills except combat. The first wave nearly wiped us out, and without being allowed to rest, that was kind of it. The DM chose not to kill us all, but honestly, we never had a chance after the first bit went poorly. One wandering DM/Monster who nearly killed us all, and one player who got to visit us, which was nice although combat is slow enough that he didn't get to do much. I'm still not sure why Kaskar Spearsong transformed into something with radiant damage and tried to kill us, or why we weren't allowed to kill him in retaliation. Also, Old Goat died, sad and confused. And even more goliaths died. Technically we won (because of the other tables, nothing we did to help) and it was still kind of miserable. Especially since her death was so pointless. And then a weird final dramatic moment where some NPC got to kill the last bad guy, just so he could look cool. And no one even knew who he was. Apparently some goliath from the very beginning of the season. Whatever.

Traded Illuminator's Tattoo for a magic campfire. Traded with my character Gus. He got the campfire certificate from DDEP10-00 The Great Knucklehead Rally.

New season 11 rules are out. I rebuilt Kartak to be a Hunter subclass instead of Monster Slayer. Also acquired a +1 battleaxe under new rules because I was level 5+ when the rules came out. Also spent 150 gp on three regular healing potions.
