DM Alexander Kilcoyne's Kingmaker PBP- Chapter 3

Game Master Alexander Kilcoyne

OK I say we sell both unless someone wears earings an wants to take them as part of their share or a music box? They will add quite a bit to the treasure.

Vaysh has a trait that givers her some skill bonuses when she wears jewelry. Other than that, I'd say weapons, armor, horses and healing take priority over ornaments for the time being. But then again, a girl has to have something nice for herself once in a while. :-D

Ya, I took that trait so that I would get Diplomacy as a class skill, and the other general source I already had another trait from that type. So I couldn't double up to get the 'better' version of it. Oh well, still got Diplo as a class skill.

So, do you want the shiny, or do we hawk it for cash?

Vaysh, who big is the share of each party member of the loot sold so far?

I have not updated my starting cash except for the 8 sp I earned telling stories.

You have the XP to level but you will have to spend time at Oleg's to do so.

You will be spending a week 'levelling' at Oleg's- you are able to do other things in this time though. Malthir, your able to get a week's crafting done in this period in your spare time.

As a reminder- You can roll your HP or you can take half+1- PFS style. For clarity-

D6HD= 4
D8HD= 5
D10HD=6
D12HD=7

I'd rather you take the average but you can roll if your feeling brave.

I'd like a list of changes- I keep my own notes on your characters and I want to know where your skill points go, how many HP you gain,spells gained per day, spells known increased, etc.

A couple of things are scheduled to happen at Oleg's- I'll post them up in a bit. For the purpose of these things, use your levelled up stats in case theres any confusion. It's mostly RP events I believe I have ready anyway.

You have the XP to level but you will have to spend time at Oleg's to do so.

Sounds good, we should spend the time training before continuing, the fact that you will get your bardic music, spells, I will get my lay on hands, Edric more abilities, Fenna & Vaysh another spell, its too important to pass up at this point.

I will take average +1 (6+2+1), not taking my chances of a 1.... :)

+1 lvl Paladin
Divine Grace (+3 cha) on all of my saves
Lay on hands (1+3 cha) 4x per day

Skill points (3+1 human)
Craft Armorsmithing 1
Ride 2
Sense Motive 1
That will help to round his skills out some.

Let's spend some time to try and train any of the horses for combat if we can.
I will order a military saddle from Oleg using my score credit 18.6gp+1.4gp of my own. Hopefully it will ge here in the week we train.

Anything you order under 150GP will definitely arrive and you can add to your character sheet if you have the credit or cash to pay for it. We'll definitely need a share per person breakdown from you Vaysh :).

In addition, Oleg can arrange to have combat trained horses in to replace your horses for 50 gold pieces per horse.

Level up notes for Casimir

Grease is a very useful spell at lower and middl levels...

I know ;-)

Why is it always the Paladin who gets all the girls? :-D

The sad part he doesn't even want them at the moment, too dedicated to honor and duty and all that....LOL's

Nah, the jewelry I'm going to get rid of. It is the music box that I think is something cool to keep!

Wht new spell were you thinking of taking V.? We just picked up another CLW and Grease as well as my LOH's. Wow a group where eveyone has healing of some sort, I think this is a first for me.

Fenna, what about you, any thoughts on your next Divine spell? That one may be a tough choice. Bless or command would be good choices, or maybe even magic stone...

Edric looks uncomfortable...

Speaking of Edric, where are you buddy?

Oops, we are one shy, okay 4/5 of the party have healing :) still a first for me!

Jace just pointed out to me I accidently gave the boy two names- For clarity, his name is indeed Noleski.

Nothing much else is going to happen while you guys are training etc., so once you've all caught up on any RP and updated your stat blocks we can progress the game. Hope everyone can update their character to level 2 by tomorrow evening or saturday.

Dancing lights is what I went with. Only get a 0 level ATM. 2nd level as a sorcerer is a pretty boring one, but after that most levels have something worth being interested in.

I like the spell though, it has lots of uses, and I picked it cuz Vaysh looks up to Fenna and her more useful magic. Vaysh hasn't had spells that really do something in the physical world before, except for mending, and it wouldn't be good to go wasting your power on repairing things that you have broken. Now she has a light source, and one that moves.

It reminds her a lot of the lantern archon that she was trained by, and she hopes that if she learns how to do that she might be able to learn some of the other things that Fenna can do.

I am looking for the post that I made about wealth right now Casimir. Was getting all the IC stuff up first.

Edit: 122 gp was the first break up of money Casimir. I am going to go through and sell more stuff and get that break up done later today.

Leveling Summary

Level 2 Celestial Sorcerer (Extra HP chosen)
HP: +6 (4 + 1 + 1)
Skills: Craft (Cooking), Diplomacy, Knowledge (Arcana), Spellcraft, Use Magic Device
Spell: Dancing Lights

Does Oleg have more cash money to buy stuff with, or are we still looking at store credit? Can we do consignment work through him if he doesn't have the cash on hand? I don't know if folks want to take a bunch of money in store credit with him or not.

Hopefully with these people coming and going he is starting to sell off some of the gear we have with him and he will have a few more resources.

I kow Cas wants to order MW materials so I can craft them.
I am saving for Full Plate.
No one else has said anything they are interested in yet.

Is Fenna going to keep the Ioun stone or are we planning to sell it? It is probably worth a pretty penny, but it is also useful.

Does Oleg have more cash money to buy stuff with, or are we still looking at store credit? Can we do consignment work through him if he doesn't have the cash on hand? I don't know if folks want to take a bunch of money in store credit with him or not.

Business is booming for him this week. He has 800 gold pieces of capital to trade with- feel free to trade store credit for gold pieces if necessary. Give the group a summary when its all calculated :)

The Ioun stone is flawed and gives a penalty; Oleg is happy to offer a couple hundred gold pieces for it.

I'm pretty relaxed as far as buying goes- crafting materials wise Oleg has enough for sale to get you started anyway.

On a side note, some good RP and montaging going on :)

Muchas Gracias. Eager to see Edric's changes now :)

Edric if you need a hand I know levelling animal companions can be misleading sometimes, let me know if you need help.

Edric Level 2
BAB +1
New Total:+2
Fort +1
New Total:+3
hp +9 (6 Class, +2 Con, +1 Favored Class)
New Total:22
Skills: +4
Handle Animal: +7
Perception: +5
Ride: +6
Survival: +5
New Ability
Aid Allies: +3 on successful aid another rolls
I don't have my core rule book on me so I can't level up Talia just yet. I would like to give it a shot myself but if I'm holding up the game then I'm ok with you doing the math.

If I missed anything please let me know.

Edric Level 2

I'll work out the changes to Talia and post them there, and you can update your charsheet for her when you get the chance.

Btw I think you missed your human skill point, you should be getting 5 skill points a level.

Talia-

Gains another HD. 4HP+ 2 Con= 6HP gained. (It gets the higher average of 5HP on even HD's, this is HD 3 and thus odd).

BAB rises- Increase CMD, CMD, and all attack rolls by +1

Will Save increases by +1

Gains a single skill point- put it in an appropiate animal skill.

Gains a feat. I would recommend Multiattack but its not a pickable feat- Talia gets it when you hit 9th Level. A few easy recommendations are Dodge, Improved Natural Armour, Improved Natural Attack (Bite), Toughness and Weapon Focus (bite)

Dealing with loot right now. Put the Dark Blue Ioun Stone in Fenna's inventory on the website.

Selling our loot crud we come out to 425 gp, 5 silver, and 7 copper. That is just using the 4 barrels of ale for goodwill at the post rather than selling them for under 3 gp. Also, pass the rusted sword to Oleg in case any of it is salvageable.

That makes our shares 60.8 gp each (rounded up in our favor by 3 copper). That includes 1 for the emergency share and 1 for the party fund.

Instead of doing that break up though, I'm willing to forgo a share to take the music box (which comes out to a hair under what a share would have been had we sold it).

So what you guys actually net is 70.93 gp (once again rounding those 3 copper in our favor).

All of that is cash money, no store credit needed.

Questions, comments, or concerns?

Do you want to take some cash out of my share of the loot for the ioun stone?

Just to clarify, the 70.93 gp share is the first cut of the party funds to be distributed to each member, right - all other funds up until now have been used for common items?

In any event, Casimir would like to take advantage of the offer from Oleg to exchange his horse to one with combat training, so he will be able to ride it already as the party head out at the end of the training week. He'll also order a military saddle.

That leaves 0.93 gp worth of pocket change.

DM AK, could you please post the stats for a combat trained riding horse?

DM AK, could you please post the stats for a combat trained riding horse?

Same as the normal horse in the Bestiary, except re-work out the hooves attack roll using its BAB, strength modifier and -1 size penalty- and the damage should be dice + strength modifier now, not dice + 0.5xstr.

Add to that, they get the six tricks from 'Combat Training' (see d20pfsrd for details.)

There is some confusion over whether a combat trained horse that is not a cavalier's mount gets armour proficiency as a result of combat training. My take on it is that they do NOT- it cheapen's the cavalier and theres no mention of it in the core rules, only in the d20pfsrd to my knowledge. Even if it turns out i'm wrong, consider it a house-rule.

That is perfectly fine by me. I have no intention of fitting my riding horse with barding anyway.

I have added a stat block for my new horse to my profile. His name is Shadow.

Edit: 122 gp was the first break up of money Casimir. I am going to go through and sell more stuff and get that break up done later today.

In that case, Casimir also spends 83.33 gp on materials for a masterwork chain shirt, which he asks Malthir to craft for him.

Don't forget the bucker....I can craft it in like 1 day.

DM AK, did he have the materials to make the shirt and buckler and if so did I have any time to work on them during the week?
Thanks,
MAD

BTW I deducted the 10gp for the round of drinks, wooden sword, and another 20gp for a military saddle. Leaves me with just over 177gp.

You had sufficient materials for all your crafting in the week, provided you pay the GP.

I'm 5 gp short om materiale for the buckler.

I'm 5 gp short om materiale for the buckler.

Oleg is happy to lend you 5GP if a party member can't, but he wants it paid back with another gold piece as interest...

Apologies if i'm pushing the exploration a bit with narrative, but its not a partiularily RP heavy section of the AP and i'd like to be able to handle each hex exploration quickly.

Thread is updated, Malthir you can unshroud the next hex, including the gold resource Casimir and Fenna spotted. You guys only JUST hit the DC, so your fortunate you put skill points into Perception :).

Fenna will pay the extra 5gp, there's not much she needs to buy right now. I think her armour can wait until last to get the upgrade, since I'm not sure if Malthir has time to do all of our armour this stop.

Thanks Fenna. I can update my gear to mw buckler and chain shirt before we head out then?

Would Oleg have been able to get a riding dog during the week we spent there, I figure that might be a little more useful than a combat trained pony.

Definitely, theres a market for them in Brevoy. Long as you got the gold doggies all yours.

I'm 5 gp short om materiale for the buckler.

I lend Cas the 5gp, I have extra and I know he is good for it! :)

Fenna has me covered...and I might not be so certain to live long enough to pay her back, it would seem.
