I am lurking about on phone and iPad. When you've got your plan in place, let me know.
Prep (alphabetical order) :
- Anklebiter: Magic circle vs. Evil; Summon monster III; drink potion of Barkskin; activate Protective ward for group.
- Calla: Invisibility x 2.
- Kel: Protection from Evil x 2.
- Lefrik: Drink potion of Bear's endurance for bonus hp in boss fight.
Agreed?
OH! Does anyone want Protection from arrows?
I'd say throw it on yourself, AB.
Sounds good. I think we're ready to do this...
Agreed.
As ready as we'll ever be. Let's do this!
My prep is done. Let's transform and rollll out!
Okay, I am back from my trip and should be good to go with normal daily posts for a good while. Sorry for the slowdown, now hold onto your socks!
But... Goblins don't wear socks... 0_0;
Kel, we're going to need your healing spells something fierce... >_<
Blaagh. :( I hoped Nolveniss would go splat. Looks like it's up to you, Calla!
Can I call dibs on the headband and spellbook? ^_^
I think most of that stuff will go to you...
I think the +4 bracers are better for you guys and I wouldn't take ALL that money... ;p
The rest of us already have armor, so the bracers will do us no good. They're basically made for arcane casters.
You can take all the money too -- though we're going to make you spend it on magic items for the rest of us. :)
My pleasure - after I've recreated Duchess. ;)
Yeah, me! >:D
Merry Christmas, AB! Yeah, I'm good with you getting all the obviously wizardy things here. Take the headband, bracers, and spellbook. The staff is likely yours as well.
I'd like to put in for one of the rings of protection +1, as well as a cloak of resistance +1. Not sure why I didn't buy one of each before now, but it's time to fix that.
magic staff -- Staff of dark flame (nice! Perfect for AB, and he's already got fireball, so he can recharge it): Made from bleached bones that have been fused together, the head of this staff burns with an unholy fire. This staff can be used as a +1 flaming quarterstaff (only one end of the staff bears magical enhancement), and it retains this property even if all its charges are drained. This staff can cast the following spells:
False life (1 charge)
Ray of enfeeblement (1 charge)
Scorching ray (1 charge)
Fireball (2 charges)
Animate dead (3 charges)
csw potion x2 -- I think it's mostly who we want to hold on to these, since they can be doled out as needed. I was going to say Kel makes sense to me and maybe AB, as Lefrik and Brue are usually in melee and not likely to stop to drink a potion mid-combat. However I think both have at least one for emergency purpose, and CSW makes sense for that purpose.
bracers of armor +4 -- AB
headband of intellect +2 -- AB makes sense
handy haversack -- ?
cloak of resistance +2 -- ?
ring of protection +2 -- I think makes more sense for Brue to have this than the +1 ring
ring with a house symbol -- hold onto for now.
pouch of diamond dust -- AB
spellbook (contains all illusion spells from PHB up to level 5) -- AB
large deep purple gemstone, inscribed with a spiky rune -- AB, for now. Sounds like it may have something to do with getting us out of here/getting rid of the Echo.
cmw potion x2 -- To whomever doesn't get the CSW potions
scroll of haste x2 -- AB
cloak of resistance +1 x2 -- Kel and Lefrik already have one, so I guess AB and Calla (that gives Brue the +2 one, but that could be swapped around to someone else)
ring of protection +1 x2 -- Doesn't look like any of us have rings, so could go to anyone. I think Lefrik makes sense as he's typically in melee. Maybe Kel? She's not getting much here and always smart to keep our healer protected.
potion of invisibility x2 -- Brue and Lefrik? Again, can be shuffled around as needed.
23 gems worth about 2500 gp
2543 gp in mixed coin
(Calla's not getting much time, but she got the gloves and bow last time we got loot. Of course, she still really needs something to boost her Strength so she can actually use the bow.)
sounds good
I could make you a Strength-boosting item!
And that's why you're the only goblin I'm willing to not put an arrow in his eye... :)
:p How about Poog?
Anyhoo, I can make a belt of giant strength for you. I'd love to do a Dex./Str. belt, but that's a 12th CL item.
I think Calla would find Poog very annoying. He's far too negative. :p
And I'll be happy to trade up when we get there. :)
^_^ Looking forward to it.
I may be getting premature, but let's look forward to other crafting stuff.
Who all wants me to upgrade their weaponry to become either Demonbane or Drowbane?
Would Lefrik like a Belt of Dexterity, to improve his AC? Should I upgrade his Amulet of Natural Armour?
Would Kelendra like some magic weaponry?
Does anyone else want anything else?
A bane baldric might be useful for Calla.
I can see how it would be, but according to the description the creator must be an Inquisitor. :-/ You could take Craft Wondrous Item, but otherwise you need to go shopping...
Kel will need another wand of healing, speaking of which, does someone have one we can use now before we leave the tower?
I have 15 charges remaining on my wand of CLW. Use it as you will.
Anything that helps improve Lefrik's AC is welcome. He sucks up a lot of healing
After those failed saves, I'm wondering about trading his cloak of resistance +1 for the +2 if no one else is calling dibs
I can see how it would be, but according to the description the creator must be an Inquisitor. :-/ You could take Craft Wondrous Item, but otherwise you need to go shopping...
I think you could still do it, but the DC would be 5 higher. Not sure if it's worth the effort, but I haven't looked at the DC or your skills, so not sure how possible it is.
DM ruling?
By the way, do Staves resize relative to their owner? ^^;
Staves DO NOT resize.
DM Ruling on what? The Pathfinder crafting rules are clear prerequisites and how to get around them.
The DC to create a magic item increases by 5 for each prerequisite the caster does not meet. The only exception to this is the requisite item creation feat, which is mandatory.
Alrighty. Then I can make you that item, Calla!
Just FYI, I'll be out of town Friday-Monday, with probably pretty limited posting ability (i.e. between minimal and none).
DM Bigrin, is there any chance of my being able to purchase scrolls of Gust of wind and Passwall while we're still in this town? ^_^
Yes and no. There aren't any arcane spells up for grabs in Crying Leaf, BUT a request can be made and objects can be teleported in the next day via UPS (united portal service).
Might want to hold up on that request for now, until you see what rewards are in store for you.
Heh heh. ^_^ Sure thing; that's why I didn't say anything ICly.
By the way, Anklebiter is very serious about opening his spellbooks to the arcane casters present for copying purposes. He knows they're lower-level than he is, amd he wants to help the Elves as best he can.
Still holding out for that giant statue in the works ;)
I'm not quite ready yet to craft an iron golem in your image, old chum. ;)
LEFRIK 2.0 ERROR-MERCY.EXE file not found
Run!
So. How many days we got to get ready?
1
0.2
That is just barely enough time to craft one Hat of disguise. Calla and Kelendra might be able to get by with disguises and I can cast the spell myself. That would leave the Hat for one of us.
Unless the Elves have Hats for sale?
(So I can be resurrected, instead...)
Aaand I should have read the Gameplay thread first. :D
I'll be rebuilding Duchess, then.
This is intended to be a "start the next day" segue into the next adventure. There will be time to buy/sell soonish. one of the reasons why the end rewards are so good.
