The average NPC would simply wish you well in surviving that "curse."

Haha! Best reaction.

I forgot to ask, but could I find the stuff I asked for? Did not add to sheet, was going to ask first.

Yes, you were able to find what you were looking for, or at least order it and get it by the time you are ready to leave. This is a military town filled with smiths and artisans that work with all kinds of armor and weapons on a daily basis.

I would want to wait until my new armor is done so I can sell my old one

You can take the time needed to get your new equipment made and old equipment sold. You're not on a set timeline at the moment.

I say we buy warhorses and put saddle bags on them. Then we're all mobile, can carry lots of stuff but we're not in a big wheeled box that might as well say "Rob me" on the side of it. I'm cool with hanging around town however long we need to buy/sell everything as well.

Well I do not mind, since I was buying a warhorse, but the wagon was for carrying all stuff we could gather along the way, but pack horses are fine by me as long as everyone has a ride even if they are only light horses for traveling or heavy warhorses.

So I take it you aren't using the standard price of 300 GP for a heavy warhorse? I'd like to get one if I can, but I only have 227 gold left.

You're getting a discount from the ATA because your affiliation with them.

So how much do I need to pay?

I like keeping the wagon around for the moving the big loads around. I figure Evrail and Einar would be on horses on Balmoren and Garrett could take either the wagon or spring for a caravan to keep us at a good speed and carry all the misc crap: tools, camp supplies, food, quest items, etc. Evrail should be scouting ahead since Rangers are some of the best scouts available and Einar can guard our flank. Just my perspective of things. I'm always open to changes though. :)

That was my train of thought, since we will need tents for camping maybe etc... well what ever money I have left after buying a light warhorse for traveling and trained for war in case I get caught riding it.

So we can pitch in for it and will be useful for all, I do understand Balmoren view on the what if someone robs it and that's why I was thinking of the hirelings but that is just me.

Added a masterwork greatsword to since I do not think having that much gold on my person would be a good idea. Rest of it can go to traveling fund.

Well, we can certainly keep the wagon if you guys want. But Balmoren is going to buy a heavy warhorse if he can afford it. Still waiting on a price with the ATA discount.

Individually, a heavy warhorse w/military saddle and saddle bags will cost 225 gp. If you want a riding saddle, instead, it'll be 5 gp less.

Light warhorse with military saddle and saddle bags would be 90 gp; riding saddle would again be 5 gp less.

I'll go for the light warhorse then actually. Updating character sheet now.

Yeah I figure the heavy is not worth the money since none of use are "mounted" fighters and it's cheaper for the same movement.

Here is a list of the stuff Garrett will buy while in tent city. I'll replace the mule with a heavy warhorse and keep all my personal supplies in the chest listed below. The majority of this stuff is helpful to the team so whatever other things you guys want to add feel free to do so.

Heavy Warhorse w/military saddle and saddle bags - 225g
Bear Trap (x5) - 10g, 50 lbs
Medium Chest -5g, 50 lbs
Crowbar - 2g, 5 lbs
Hammer - .5g, 2lbs
Heatstone - 20g, 1lb
Iron Spike (x20) -1g, 20 lbs
Tent, Medium (x2) - 30g, 60 lbs
Water Purification Sponge - 25g, 1 lb
Shovel - .02g, 3 lbs
Cooking Kit - 1g, 2 lbs

Total Cost: 319.52g
Total Weight: 194 lbs

I will get

Light Warhorse 90gp w/military saddle and saddle bags.
Chest 2gp
Rope (Hemp) 1gp 10lbs
Healer's Kit 50gp 1lb
Tent, Medium 15gp 10lbs
Grappling Hook 4lbs
Chest, Medium 5gp 50lbs
Folding Chairx4 2gp 10lbs
Area Map 50gp 2lbs
Map Case 1gp .5 lbs
Barrel (water) 2gp 30lbs (45lbs full)
Torch x10 1sp 10lbs

Garret the medium tent is only 10lbs (each) from the Adventurer's Armory.

I think we have bought a lot of stuff to benefit the whole party to a certain extent as well as some minimal commodities but this should be good for all and we still have money left for other needs that we might have or need.

I just hope it all fits in our tiny wagon hahahahaha.

Hey guys, I'm sorry to do this, but I need to drop out. I've got a lot of RL stuff heating up at the moment, and I need to cut back on my online gaming. Feel free to play the character as an NPC if you please.

I wish I had time to do real life, run my own games and still play as much as I want, but it's just not working anymore. Thanks so much VoW, this was a fun game and I hope my leaving doesn't kill it.

Completely understood. I'll find someone to take your spot.

It's unfortunate to see you go. I hope that you're able to get your house in order quickly and easily. Good luck!

Good Luck Balmoren, wish you the best and will see you around the Forum :)

If any of you are in any other games, feel free to let the others know about the opening. I'm trying the recruitment thread, but I don't know how much response I'll get, and I really would hate to see this game end.

Let me see the one game, most of my other ones the people seem to be full on games.

I'm on very few games and most players are a bit full on games/GMing

Just dotting the thread.

Thanks for joining us Atokos! I look forward to working with you.

VoW - I put the word out in one of my more active games. Hopefully we can get a couple bites out of it.

A number of maps have been added to the photobucket page.

The maps look good. Thanks for the reference.

Game updates for the next couple days are going to be hard. I had to reinstall windows, and now get to figure out an entirely new set of problems. I can post from my laptop, but it doesn't have the mapping software.

I see, that sucks Voice of Wisdom.

THat sucks. Good luck with getting that back up and running.

Sorry to hear that, DM. At least you're still able to post though.

Good luck with that, I lost a campaign I was going to start do to a computer problem a while ago.

I've settled the computer down to the point where I can maintain the conversation comfortably, so since it's basically your move in the conversation, go ahead and post.

I was thinking of Linguist or Dangerously Curious for Evrail.

This probably would have been a better place for me to put my statement, wouldn't it? I'll transfer it, just give me a sec.

Edit: Transferred Text
That's a really tough choice. I'm tempted to take reactionary, but having someone with disable device might be necessary going forward. Thoughts?

Now that I think about it, I may not be the best person for that, at least not for traps. Although next level, when I'd put 3 ranks into DD, I'd have a +13 with MWK thieves' tools, I'd still have a pretty bad perception, it not being a class skill and all. I'd be fine with locks, but even the simplest of traps would give me a run for my money.

I was thinking Dangerously Curious or Scholar of the Great Beyond. I've been putting ranks into UMD so it would be nice to have the bonus and make it a class skill. Scholar would give me access to some Int based skills (Yay!) but they'd break even after being modded. Hmmmm, choices...

Just let me know when you're all ready to go either here or in the game thread.

Ready. I ended up choosing Reactionary.

I am going to go with Linguist.

I took some liberties. I hope you don't mind, VoW.

That's hilarious. I've seen that show, and I almost covered my screen with the water I was drinking.

It seemed appropriate, haha. I'd just been going over the X files wiki and wanted to see what other stuff Mitch Pileggi had done since the show ended and there's where I got the name for both the class and it's teacher.

I will get reactionary probably unless someone has another suggestion.

Don't forget, you can aid another on these things. The entire party could easily fit around one of these things. DC is 25

On the fourth try, you finally break one of them open. You find 640 ancient gold coins, a large sized +1 longbow, and an efficient quiver made for a giant. If you reach out to pick up the weapon and the quiver, they shrink down to medium.

Eventually, the group is able to pop all of the chests open, and they discover what they would expect from such a tomb, simple treasure and coins appropriate to a minor noble house: 335 gp, a set of marvelous pigments, a bag of holding type 1, a ring of protection +1, and a pouch with 4 bandages of rapid recovery.

So we've got a bit of loot here for us to take claim of:

• +1 longbow
  
• efficient quiver
  
• a set of marvelous pigments
  
• a bag of holding type 1
  
• a ring of protection +1
  
• 4 bandages of rapid recovery
  
• 975gp
  

I think Evrail is the archers so the quiver and bow can go to him.

I have no need ofr pigments and Ring of Protection can be used by Garret (build you into a wall).

Who is our band aid kit so he can hold on to the 4 bandages.

The bag of holding can be for Atokos or my self, which ever is fine.

The gold we can split it in 3, since Evrail gets new nifty toys for his combat style.

The DM is frustrated with low level adventure planning. Everyone gains a level.
