I especially like Thaddaeus for picking both of my characters :D
I did worry that Mivvy might occupy the same ground as Shi, so I can see why you'd prefer Mylie.
So, Brayden, how do I get the PFS credit stuff?
PM me your email and I will get you a copy of the profile sheet from the last episode.
I *do* need you to read through the first session, and - yes - there will be a quiz :)
Once you have read through the first session I can give you credit for the mission so you are up with everyone else (I am hooking you up here, by the way)
FOr now, just to get started, you have 150 starting gold + 417 gold from last mission to go ahead and spend. Buy what you need to buy, and let me know how much gold you have left (and what you've bought with that.)
Cool, I already read the first session: Bander can't make halflings fall asleep and imps just want to be free!
Missive on its way!

I'd go in on a wand. 300gp available to contribute. I believe its only usable for this session if we pool resources, and doesn't carry over from session to session. Right Mr. GM?
Shilyn DeSable |
To my understanding, the only things that carry over from adventure to adventure are things that you purchase. So if you buy a wand, I believe that would carry over. Not sure if 'pooling resources' would affect that or not.
Perhaps just give an amount of gold to the player wanting to buy it? Same end result but a more character-direct act. "Here Mr Cleric.. here's 50GP for your order since you're healing us.." Cleric: "Oh good, now I can buy that wand to heal better."
As opposed to "Here's a pile of gold from all of us.. someone buy a wand.." which the party now has to figure out who takes it when the quest is complete. Just my thoughts.
Shi will gladly give a share to one of the party members to keep her healed, but would be wary of grouping funds due to her roguish nature.
Lorelendral Teklet |
you could all buy scrolls of healing, loan them to the healer and if unused take them back at the end of the adventure - it's not pooling resources and you have them to loan to your next healer in your next pfs game.
or you could buy potions but they are pricier.
Shilyn DeSable |
Well.. define 'use'? I can use a wand to smack people with or as a tent stake, does that count? :) I knew I should have paid more attention to my mother's lessons, but it was so much more fun sneaking around..
Amnur Roanock |
common, just gotta muffle those hooves and then it's more like clop...clop... Way quieter!
Oh yes, I sometimes use wands to eat Tian food, but even that requires a skill level bordering on magical.
doubt crept in |
Ah.. but does Vanish quiet your steps? :) An invisible horse still sounds like a horse.. clop..clop ;)
Touché, perhaps when Mylie's casting improves considerably (level 7?) we can all lark about invisibly on invisible phantom steeds.
Not quite there yet...

Prestidigitation is such an amazing spell that you can use it to eat most foods that do not require cutting up and in theory an Unseen Serveant could manipulate the chopsticks for you.
Mundane magic is awesome.
GeraintElberion |
And I'll promise not to laugh (too hard anyways) when you mount an invisible steed backwards :)
When the wizard casts invisibility on herself it's a bad sign, we're probably running away or in great danger.
When she casts it on the rogue it's a good sign: it means we have a plan.

"Pooling" gold resources isn't necessarily frowned upon. It can be done to buy things, if everyone is in agreement . Noone can be "forced", "coerced", or any of those things to spend money to buy things for a group, or especially to pitch in and ressurrect someone, and such.
- I would recommend that *everyone* has to be on board with a pooling, in the discussion thread, or it is like it never happened in game. I don't want a "well you didn't pay for this, so I'm not going to heal you with it. Too bad, say hi to Pharasma for me" situation on our hands and ruin what has otherwise been fantastic gameplay.
You *cannot* pool prestige points to afford something greater for the party. You also can't really spend prestige points on anyone but yourself. (You technically *can* in life and death situations, but I wouldn't make a habit of it outside of life and death scenarios.) Prestige points represent favors and "debts owed" between yourself and your faction and members in it, and people don't normally like to go out of their way and risk life and limb for people that they don't know.
Brayden Green |
Is it okay to spend the gold buying scrolls and copying the spells into my spellbook?
I don't need much else... do we have a party fund for wands of CLW or anything like that?
Yes it is okay. I need to see the rolls posted here. You can just post them spoilered if you want. Also, the rules on scrolls are slightly different for PFS, so make sure you are completely up to speed on them before you start, and ask if any questions.
Lorelendral Teklet |
If we do all chip in on a wand, Lore would never withhold healing from anyone, even if they didn't have the funds to join in the pool. It's not in her nature, so that wouldn't be an issue.
We'd need about 150 per person to buy a wand - they are 750 gold, correct? I'm willing to put in that much myself. But with other expenditures going on, I can understand if others can't or don't want to put that much into such a pool.
Amnur Roanock |
As I mentioned I can do up to 300, but I expect double the healing for Amnur, or half the healing for everyone else... which ever's greater. ;)
Shilyn DeSable |
As most of us are new to PFS as well.. it's good you asked to be honest. That way we all learn something to include DM concerns and view points to keep the game enjoyable and moving while keeping with PFS rules since PFS can be different in some aspects we normally take for granted. :)
Amnur Roanock |
We have 2 prestige points from the first encounter so we can each buy a Wand of CLW using those points. Or one or two of us could buy one and hand them off to our casters for the duration of the adventure.
If GM Brayden suggests only using Prestige Points in life or death situations, maybe we can stick to cash for the wand of CLW, saving the points for one of those critical situations, or ideally ourselves if no one ever dies. :)
Thaddaeus Hawke |
Actually I think he meant you can only spend prestige points on others in life or death situations (i.e. you're carrying someones lifeless body back to the Lodge for resurrection.) A Wand of CLW is a common purchase for a character's first two prestige points and actually goes a long way to prevent those life or death situations from occurring.
While I don't necessarily agree with all that he writes, I learned a lot about equipping low level characters by reading these blog posts:

Ooooh I see, I thought that's what you were saying, pooling them for a wand. My bad! So how do I spend those? Just declare 'I spend 2 prestige for a wand of CLW'?
Mylvwara Elberion |
Just been reading through [url=http://paizo.com/products/btpy84k4the guide[/url] again and yeah, it seems that you just cross them off your sheet and get an item worth up to 750gp.
It represents getting the item from your faction.
I think I might get a wand of mage armour: it'll be a long time before I need to cast it again and I could use it on Bander, Lore and Shi as well to boost their AC (+4AC for an hour a pop).
Brayden, I have all of the Pathfinder Tales novels and the Paizo Golem t-shirt. How do those work in a pbp game?

Guys,
I've been working very long hours the past few days and thus not posting much...bad week at work. Any way I am fine either pooling money or using my prestige points for a wand of cure light wounds. I am regularly checking the board and will be ready to go as soon as the game really starts up.
Bander is not planning on buying any fancy clothes for this dang party. "If my own facking clothes ain't good enough for them then the snot nosed rich folk ain't good enough for me."
By the way, Bander has a real problem with "rich folk" especially when they look down thier nose at him...this party could be interesting :)

You have to wear the T shirt every time you post. So if you aren't in the T-shirt, then put it on, then post. Only then after your post can you take it off.
(Just kidding)
The Tshirt gives you a re-roll per session. You just claim "T-Shirt roll!" *before you know the results of a roll* and then you get another one. That should be easy to do, because you will always know what your roll is before I do, because we are unlikely to be on the boards at the exact milisecond that you post.

Okay, sounds good.
I'll post my scroll/spell rolls in a bit, might also stock up on some utility scrolls and will spend my 2PP on a wand of mage armour.
Can't wait to get into the game!
Shilyn DeSable |
And I'll spend my PP on a Wand of CLW.
That just sounds wrong.. on so manly levels :) lol Soooo many roguish remarks.. so little time before the party.. :)
Lorelendral Teklet |
lmfao
Amnur Roanock |
'That is one potent wand you got there... You say you traded in your PP for it? Oh 2 PP's? Wow, potent.' I apologize for my brain... and fingers.
Lorelendral Teklet |
so if we're trading bodily fluids for wands, can I spit up for a wand of SoF?... surely my clerical spit should be worth at least as much as Thad's PP. o.O ??? j/k of course.
Shilyn DeSable |
lol and yes.. it's normally this much fun in game too :)
Hrm.. Gnomish cleric spit.. I wonder.. *dashes off to talk to a certain warehouse owner for potential markets*
Mylvwara Elberion |
Right, going to try to learn
comprehend languages: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
hold portal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
identify: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
mount: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
obscuring mist: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
shield: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
silent image: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
175gp in scrolls
Mylvwara Elberion |
An extra 50 gp for the 5 successes and I have scrolls of obscuring mist and comprehend languages left over.
So that's 225 gp spent.
Leaving me 185 for a dress worth 100gp and 60gp of jewellery, with 15 gp change. I'm thinking the outfit will look something like this.
Oh, and I named my familiar... a fox called Cariad.
Brayden, shall I step into the gameplay thread now?
Brayden Green |
Mylvie, that is a really pretty dress. I think we are all ready to go now.
THose of you that have made purchases, write them in your "items bought" section and minus the gold.
If I haven't already signed the bottom, I will need to do that.
I think we are ready to play. :)
Lorelendral Teklet |
I thought the dress would go into our items bought for the 2nd adventure - I already sent back my sheet filled out with items bought and sold for adventure 1... should I re-do it or just put the dress and jewelry onto the sheet for adventure 2?

We can do it either way... JUst make sure you have it written down to remember your running total.
You can post your running total here in the discussion thread. That will probably easier...
