Hey everyone! I'm doing a bit of a private recruitment for the upcoming Gameday specials by only announcing it to a few of my games at a time until they are full.
First, I am starting 06-98 Serpent's Rise on September 19 (the first day of Gameday 4). This is the special where you get to play 7th-level Aspis pregens. Go ahead and check in on the campaign Discussion and Gameplay threads if you are interested. I'm taking six players and it's first-come-first-served.
The next one isn't starting for a while but I've got it set up anyways. Starting on November 5th is the special 06-97 Siege of Serpents. This is open for levels 1-11 and is again first-come-first-serve. The six that get in will need to coordinate and decide on a tier. Since it is not starting for a couple months obviously your character does not have to be free immediately and you all have time to decide on the party composition. You are welcome to check in on the Gameplay and Discussion threads though and start organizing the party.
Thanks!
I would gladly have played these with you EF, but I'm going to play all four specials at the GardenCon (from Wednesday to Sunday this week).
I played them at PaizoCon. I rather enjoyed Siege.
Hey guys, I'll get around to updating Seal this weekend. Got Imperial Assault tonight then Carrion Crown on Saturday.
How much down time are we looking at?
Also, Rissi your spoilers are showing =v)

Don't bracket me in, man!
How much down time are we looking at?
How much do you need?
It will probably take you some time to get back to Sandpoint and then you can easily spend a couple weeks before the next event happens....
We have teleport. It takes us no time to get back to Sandpoint.
Ok, that gives about 64k in goods to craft (give or take).
Kufi: +4 headband (will work it up to +6 later)
Miana: +2 Belt of Physical perfection (8k), Cloak of resistance +2 (2k)
Lucian: Mnemonic Vest (2.5k) + cloak +4 (7.5k)
That leaves me about 28k to work with - I'm probably going to end up using ~16k worth of crafting, if you want the remaining 12k or so Seal. Fin.
Sounds good to me. Kufieno will likely look into upgrading his weapon. Is there a spending limit for Sandpoint?
Well you could always teleport to Magnimar nearby, which will have just about anything you could need.
Ahem, ah, errr, uhm. Oops.
So at some point in the last month I introduced a bug into this games loot sheet (and only this game) - a mispointing reference. This resulted in calculating sold goods at full price, not half price. Those latest numbers I gave you for loot distribution were a *wee* bit high.
Short version: after fixing said error, we have enough money in the bank to cover everything purchased thus far. However, Seal and Kufieno will want to limit their spending to under about 24k and 18k, respectively. I can balance everything out in the long run. Sorry folks!
Otherwise, I'm also picking up:
Party Funds
Potion of Remove Blindess (for Lucian)
Two more scrolls of Remove Blindess (for Lucian)
Rissi
Crafting cloak up to +4, lesser rod of silent spell, and buying a potion of remove blindess for myself.
Haha, no problem! I would never have caught it, to be honest. Loot is the player's responsibility in my games and I don't track party/character wealth. I trust my players not to cheat. Well, at least not intentionally [side-glance at Rissi] ;)
So did that change our resent payout then? (Again Rissi, take the cloak! Unless you are saving to craft a Robe of the Archmage)
Yes, new levels of money in the bank. 24k available for seal, 18k available for Kufi.
I'm good in the robe - I can always craft the robe if I desperately want it.
So that is 18k avail before crafting the headband, which would become 10K available after the headband?
No, it's 18k with the headband already crafted.
Ok, thanks.
OK, Thunderpuss is getting Animal Growth'ed. So I'm figuring 1125 for scroll of AM, then 5000 in diamond dust. There will be an additional 1125 for a scroll of Permanency which Seal will give to Rissi to learn (unless she already knows the spell and I can save some coin ;)
Then I'm going to have fabricated the red dragon scales into armor with fire resistance bonuses.
Rissi, do we have time to upgrade my Str belt from +2 to +4? How much will that run me?
I'm going to retrain out my Resist Fire Adaptation to Natural Armor +2. We have communal protections from elemental spells to cover that. BTW, was there talk of Blue dragons?
I got permanency from the spell-book haul (this AP is great for wizards...). You can also get someone to cast the spell for 450 via spell-casting services, plus the diamond. So it will only be 5450 if it's GM-allowed.
It will be 6000 for me to craft up your belt.
The red dragon hide was large, and if you want armor that limits you to hide armor (330 for dragonhide, counts as masterwork). Although, we are up to three red dragon hides, so that may be enough to cobble together a breastplate instead - GM fiat.
+1 on the armor for 1000, and then you could to do fire resist 10 for 13500.
I think the retraining is 10*13*5=650 gp, although there might be a discount with the monastery
There were blue dragons mentioned in the books, yes, as well as high altitudes. (I only got partway up the Karzoug spoiler chain, even with the +20 bonus. I'm assuming Lucian could nail it with magic.)
It looks to be around ~21k, within your budget.
The Chronicle said that there was enough hide for a Breastplate, so I think we were rolling with that. Making it a +2.
I'm also selling old stuff. Old armor, necklace armor +1, collar. New sheet will be up shortly (like at halftime).
Oh you crazy football people...
Football? Football. FOOTBALL!!
Head-butts cat and is knocked out. Cat stands up and calmly walks over to get a drink of water.
Alright, after the headband, Kufieno upgraded his shortsword to +2 (6000 gp), and purchased a +2 morningstar (8308 gp) (as well as taking TWF), so I believe that leaves about 4k leftover.
GM, it appears Paizo has finally seen the light and made Titan Mauler's Massive Weapon usable for 2 handed weapons with UC's errata today.. Can I retrain Seal's fighter level into barbarian? I'll of course pay the retraining fees. Can we say it was done during the down time even though we just started this encounter?
Crane wing can't catch a break; changed again! I do note many other styles got changed as well.
I'm also intrigued by the nature of changes to master of many styles. Wildcard styles sounds like martial flexibility being backwards applied to a class.
I note they added severe restrictions on abundant ammunition.
@Seal: sounds ok to me.

MoMS is better balanced against dipping for sure.
Wildcard Slots sound interesting other than it sounds like you must meet the requirements for the pre-reqs which will be annoying. But the boost to Fuse Style is nice for the greater accuracy which I think was one of the problems with going full MoMS. Now it can TWF effectively if it wants to. MoMS can still be a decent 2 style dip if you want a pair of styles or just want the first.

Hey guys! Wife surprised me with tickets to Weird Al in Denver, so road tripping it again! Posting will be light until Monday.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Wow. Well talk about awkward. Your wife also got me tickets to Weird Al. Surprise! =vD
Just a heads up, Thunderpuss is now Large from the Animal Growth. Woot!
Also, Kufieno is off on vacation right now so unless he beats me to it (he has still been posting a bit in some other games), I will bot him later to move us along.
To answer Lucian's question on the Gameplay: Seal standard position for his dorn is in Reach mode. It does take a move action to change from 5' to 10' reach.
Of course if we are going into giant country, Isoult will be out.
But as we are getting to higher levels, I may want to start to touting the great club (Big Woody?) to bypass silver & cold iron.
The teleport surprised me, but I'll roll with it! =v)
Thanks for the explanation! If you have your dorn out, then Lucian will definitely teleport you at a 10ft. range from the monster too, so that he can full-attack. Next time!
So, do you want me to pickup greater teleport and bop us there? Are we done in the caves? If Rissi greater teleports there with Lucian, then Lucian can ferry (Rissi can't quite get there in one casting.).
I must admit, I am a bit fond of the idea of seeing Riddleport.
If you do have greater teleport, then sure, it's the best course of action.
I don't know the spell yet! Let me just pop on over to abasalom and talk to a friend of mine... 245 gp, 7 hours and 7 pages from a blessed book later and *bam*. We are good to go.
At least the journey back from Absalom will be quick!
I've got a new spell for vetting.
Soothing Solipsism
School enchantment (compulsion) [emotion, mind-affecting]; Level arcanist 6, bard 4, sorcerer/wizard 6
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (a small shard of mirror)
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Targets one creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
Duration 1 round/level
Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes
You fill the targets with the belief that they are the only beings in the universe, and that all else they sense is a projection of their own mind upon itself. The targets may take no actions until directly interacted with, which grants a new save. Being wounded (not necessarily attacked) grants a +4 to a save.
Looks pretty good to me!
OK, that will satisfy my story feat then. Also, I'm leveled.
...I hope this puzzle is easier to figure out then Nebten's riddles :P.
Seal should maybe take the lesser bracer's of archery too? It would complement his outfit well, especially with the sparkly bits.
Rissi takes the pearl of power (1st) (oddly, the only other character who can use it is Seal), a potion of cure serious wounds, the scroll of globe of invulnerability.
I think it's a little funny that the flame tongue is pretty useless to this party.
Seal can take the bracers too. It won't matter that spring loaded sheathes are on it, right?
I will say that the treasure horde put a big smile on my face. It has such an old school feel to it. Flametongue is such a classic weapon I've wanted a PC to have since AD&D. I like the ray of flame it can fire. Looking back at the old version, the bonus increased depending on the type of enemy your were fighting.
Level up is done, but I'd need a trip back to Magnimar to get the ointment for true seeing, now that I can cast it. I'd like to buy 6 doses, if possible, which would cost 1,500 gp.
Leveled up.
Woo-hoo, lets hear it for overthinking the problem! Do we want to pop back into town for Lucian's reagents (and to rest, maybe) before scuttling off to the pocket plane? I don't think the pocket plane is going anywhere.
This could be an off-screen/hand waving thing (probably best as that).
Seal is fine with that. Damn Rissi, you are so smart.
My brilliant fictional character would thank you for the complement using the greatest faculties of her hypothetically supra-intelligent brain, if she actually existed.
