2500 gp. I'd shared that one. It made me -really- want to play a monk with an oversized Temple Sword or Nine-Ring Broadsword. :)

There is an item called Effortless Laces (or something!) that could be helpful to look up. It is somewhat pricey for a fifth level character but later on it could be helpful (unless it got eaten by an faq somewhere :P).
I looked into that but I was kind of scared to get it since one dispel magic and it's gone forever
Neri Voler |
If I start statting up a character to make into a cohort, are there any particular stats I should use? A level I should make it? :)
Neri Voler |
Also, to verify: Who was intending to talk to Mahb's brood about the world? Seems to not be Johnny, Liisa, or Luna, and they don't want Neri anywhere around.
Liisa Nemi Lampinen |
But I personally figured going back to Hell was mostly for us to recoup and then head out again, not necessary to fish for more info. So I just looked for the little things that were missing from our 'travelling amusers' plan if we ever need to enact that :D
Kong, K. |
Hell is not where our compounds are, which is where I would think we do our recouping. Hell is the village where the "locals" live. It's about a days march away if I remember correctly.
Liisa Nemi Lampinen |
Heads up: I'm going away for four days tomorrow (back on sunday!). There should be wifi and my laptop is sorta working at the moment so I should still be able to post - but if I don't you know why : )
Daichi Fujito |
Just so you know, I will be at Strategicon all weekend (Friday-Monday evening). Probably won't be home til late Monday. I will try to keep up with posts via phone and computer at the hotel, but I will be mega-busy at the con, so no guarantees. Please bot my character as necessary to keep the game flowing... Thanks, and sorry in advance for my absence.
Sorry for my absence of late... going through a rough patch... I'll try to keep up when I return.
Neri Voler |
Seems that way!
Luna Rook |
Think so
Lina the Unbroken |
Yeah.
How long were we in town? Three days?
Neri Voler |
I'd think stopping in the second Raptor Village (outside the walls) would be worthwhile, though the only goal I really have is 'ask directions to Phatai lands'. Given that Phatai lands are supposedly where the lava vents and such are. Though asking about visiting the vents seems the more direct way. Knowing the raptors' way of giving directions, if we don't find some helpful humans, we'll likely have to hire a guide, though.
Lina the Unbroken |
I'd be down for that, but yeah, with the caveat of "Learn everything we can from them about volcanoes"
Liisa Nemi Lampinen |
So visit bar to see what's new -> try to get a feeling for the city for a day or two -> find directions to Phatai lands -> head out to Phatai lands (with guide?)
Seems reasonable?
Neri Voler |
Neri would vote for returning to the same tavern as before. Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name. :)

Wednesday : 9.5 hours
Thursday : 9.5 hours
Friday : 13 hours of flight
Lina the Unbroken |
Heh. If you divide that workload by half, you get a pretty good approximation of my sleep schedule for the past week
Lina the Unbroken |
Hmm. If this is a bunch of surfacelanders far from home... it might be our best chance to surreptitiously recruit the dissatisfied to our cause. Does anyone with a higher Cha score have a speech about why Hell is actually a misunderstood paradise, and how we could help the right sort of nonconformist find a guide to get there?
Liisa Nemi Lampinen |
Hmm. This is probably a good opportunity for that. But on the other side, the church doesn't know we have access to this city - a speech would probably cause them to suspect otherwise really quick :P
Daichi Fujito |
Maybe calling it 'Hell' isn't the best recruitment stratagem... wouldn't it be better to call it 'Happy Valley' or something like that? *weg*
Neri Voler |
It's important to note, that Lina is asking about something she already knows about. I'm not sure why she's asking about it, but it's been made very clear that there are guards. Lots of them.
Lina the Unbroken |
Because I wanted to see if the visiting surface humans recognize the scales' guards (and by extension their laws) as the legitimate peacekeepers down here?
What I'm getting is "as long as we don't trigger an army invasion, we're pretty damn safe down here," which makes Lina feel much better.
Liisa Nemi Lampinen |
With Lina holding on to our monies - are we thinking she's holding on to *all* our monies or do we have some spending gold?
Cause Liisa might need to petition her for a grant right about now : P
Lina the Unbroken |
We've got some spending gold. A few hundred. Almost everything else has been crafted away.
mdt |
Everyone done shopping?
The trade festival seems to be going strong, and from the overheard conversations, it's a regular and looked forward to event. You hear enough people vetching about prices from specific traders that it becomes obvious that these people have been regulars for many years, so this is not something new or something that's unusual.
Liisa Nemi Lampinen |
Unless Liisa spots something really odd/eyecatching* then yeah, I think she is done : )
*Like crystal balls, googles that look like the ones for the madness sea, books of historical/spiritual nature, more maps or charts, glowing swords ect :P
Luna Rook |
Ready when the others are
Lina the Unbroken |
And Lina would keep an eye out for anyone selling actual books, but I'm guessing there aren't any, so yeah.
Luna Rook |
I vote we try to stay at least one night before heading out
Liisa Nemi Lampinen |
I'm with Luna, we should probably try and find a place to spend the night.
Then, tomorrow, I'm thinking we could try and find a guide/caravan/something heading for any other raptorian holding - just so we can expand our knowledge about the underworld!
(Also, we'll have to ask this discreetly as it might be *common knowledge* that what we are asking is silly/dumb/forbidden ect :D)
Neri Voler |
Neri will vote for the usual tavern, with the usual singer. We already know she's good at discretion and won't be upset by our rude, taboo questions. She's a good kindergarten teacher. :)
Johnny Slade |
Johnny mostly wanted to just chat up random traders more so than buying things. Although that might work better if they're off the clock. Talking to the singer might also work.
mdt |
To all my games : My father injured himself again Friday, and I have to go to Louisiana next week to deal with the aftermath. My ability to post will be spotty at best. My apologies in advance.
mdt |
Sorry everyone, last week was busy. Got back late friday night, slept through the weekend, and then got hammered Monday at work because nobody could do anything without me last week. *sigh* I'll be caught back up by this weekend and normal posting will resume.
mdt |
When it rains, it pours... My brother in law is in ICU as of Sunday, ingested antifreeze. We hope being stupid and not trying to hurt himself. So things are... a bit disconbobulated...
Lina the Unbroken |
Yep! Guess it's time to sneak up topside then?
Neri Voler |
Why swap from the plan of checking out the volcanic area to going aboveground again? What are we hoping to find up there?
Lina the Unbroken |
Oh, I forgot about the volcano. My bad!
