We got a bag of holding type II a while back. There's some weight here but you never know when it could come in handy.

Looks like you should have leveled up after rescuing the troll.
So DING! Welcome to level 9.

Oh man oh man, Level 8 Barbarian Level 1 Monk here we come!

Last level 12/11/2015.

Spasi: Lvl 9

+1 Lvl Magicky Guy

+6 hp (4 class, 1 con, 1 fc)

Still doing a little research today, but Clem's roughly leveled up.

+1 Barbarian

+2 Diplomacy

Feat: Extra Rage Power
Rage Power: Beast Totem

Still doing a little research today, but Clem's roughly leveled up.

** spoiler omitted **

Beacon of hope is fairly decent if you're looking for more supporty abilities.

Definitely. Clem only has 4 channels a day, and Bibic has Heroism, though... so it might be it's usefulness is a bit limited in this party.

I filled in Power Attack sadly for now, just to give Clem a chance to help in melee, not that we need him to be more well-rounded. I'm continuing to meditate on it during today's BBQ. :)

Heads up that I'll be traveling a lot in the coming week for the holidays, so posting may be sporadic. Definitely GMPC Clem if he's holding anything up, but I'll try to check in a few times if our hotels have easy wifi.

And that folks is the end of Book 3: The asylum stone. Next up is Book 4: Beyond the Doomsday Door. I'll put up a transition post returning the party to Magnimar shortly.

You may all advance to level 10 and now is a good time to deal with loot, as pretty much everything you might be interested in can be found in Kaer Maga.

Sorry, won't be able to update Spasi until Wednesday night. Big busy day tomorrow. Apologies, but that shouldn't affect the RP and pushing things forward.

Yay another level!

@GMF: You have any issue with me prepping PFS chronicle sheets for you again and linking them here? With the shards they are tasty rewards and available should folks decide to ever dip their toes into PFS again.

I show that I have boots of striding and springing, I don't see us distributing loot during the dungeon but I was skimming fast so I think I took these because I don't remember buying any.

Anybody take anything else from this list?

Bibic looks over the pile, and picks up the phylactery of positive chandelling. He tosses it back on the pile. "Nope, nothing here for me." he shrugs ready to sell the lot.

Thanks for doing the looting Rhesus!

Last level 6/03/2016.

Spasi: Lvl 10

+1 Lvl Magicky Guy

+6 hp (4 class, 1 con, 1 fc)

Going to swap out Eater of Magic for Beast Totem, Greater. Pounce ftw.

Gnome had a ring of prot +1 and a cloak of resistance +1

Pale stranger and the caulborn had no loot

@GMF: You have any issue with me prepping PFS chronicle sheets for you again and linking them here? With the shards they are tasty rewards and available should folks decide to ever dip their toes into PFS again.

Yup that's fine.

The amulet of NA +2 is a +1 AC for Clem so given he's typically in the front line, if Rhesus doesn't take it, he would.

The phylactery probably makes sense too as Clem does have channels and no headband yet.

I still need to come up with his primary weapon. He was using the +1 corrosive dagger. I'm good with selling the two undead bane weapons as those are situationally useful.

I already have NA+2 so I've swapped our loot chart for NA+1.

Values:

bracers of defense +2 4,000
+3 studded leather 9,175
+1 seeking light crossbow 8,335
+1 human bane bolts x10 1661
Ring of Protection +1 2,000
Cloak of Resistance +1 1,000
+1 full plate x4 10,600
+1 shadow leather armor 4,910
wand of mount (37 charges) 555
horseshoes of a zephyr 6,000
Full plate +3 10,650
handaxe +2 8,306
Spine flail 13,000
Amulet of NA +1 2,000
Spy Eyes 15,000
ring of mind shielding 8,000
+1 undead bane disruption club 32,300
Skin harp 16,500
+1 undead bane longsword 8,315
hat of disguise 1,800

Yes, the +1 undead bane disruption club was our big money maker.

Saving "adventuring" party: 7,000
Alchemical supplies: 8,000
Gear total: 164,107/2=82053.5

Total=97053.5

Split 4 ways that is:

Rhesus: 23,263 gold 2 silver ('cause I did the math yo)
Clem: 24,263 gold 1 silver
Bibic: 25,263 gold 1 silver
Spasi:24,263 gold 1 silver

Anybody see a problem and/or want to make a last minute claim before we go shopping like Spasi at a Calistiran temple with better results and less shame?

Spasi is all good. Just hope the next stash-load has funner stuff for Spasi.

How do you guys feel about using some of the party pool before we distribute it to allocate a handful of status-clearing scrolls to Clem, Bib and Spasi?

Clem has breath of life, freedom of movement, restoration, lesser restoration and remove sickness known as an oracle.

For consumables, Clem also has a scroll of calm emotions, delay poison, remove blindness/deafness, remove fear, remove sickness and a wand of lesser restoration (13 charges),

He just used his suppress charms and compulsions, so will at least pick up another one there.

I wouldn't mind us having some break enchantment, remove curse or remove disease scrolls on hand - I know Spasi has grabbed some potions for these. Or a single stone-to-flesh scroll. Perhaps an emergency teleport scroll or two given our recent experience of a split party?

I'm fine with selling everything and also fine with buying some group items.

I have, on my to purchase list 1,100gp worth of sort of basically group stuff:
Oil of Daylight (750gp)
Scroll Remove Fear (25gp) x2
Scroll Lesser Restoration (150gp) x2

I already have a bunch of scrolls and potions too, some for party use (like the lesser restorations). Clement if you put together a list, I'm fine taking it off the top, then divvying the rest.

I'll put together a final purchase list when I know exactly how much cash I have to spend.

+1 to all this. Tell me how much you need.

Works for me, anything left over I'll use as an incremental upgrade to my defense gear/belt.

In regards to loot, if there are specific items on your wish lists, let me know, I don't mind doing some loot swapping as we go along.

Also, in regards to things like cloaks of resistances, weapons etc. I'm fine with you just paying the cost of the upgrade, you don't have to sell the original and buy an new better version.

Spasi is all good. Just hope the next stash-load has funner stuff for Spasi.

It's just unfortunate that you're a sorcerer and not a wizard, that library in Kaer Maga had every spell in the book.

It's just unfortunate that you're a sorcerer[.]

We feel the same way sometimes Fang. ;)

Yeah, no complaints, really, but if a nice staff or a few metamagic rods found themselves into a loot, that would be keen.

Now, why do you gotta be like that? Sheesh. It's like you were raised in a barn.

..1021.3 gp to spend

..1021.3 gp to spend

How much do we need for wands and contingencies, Clem/Bibs?

* * *

For the record, Spasi has the Shard of Lust and the Pink/Green Ioun stone (+2 charisma).

What do you all have?

* * *

GM Fanguar, can you update Spasi's init to +12? The shard gives +4 more and Spasi picked up Imp Init a while back. Thx.

I have the Shard of Pride
- Major Image 1xday
- +2 insight bonus on saves versus illusion spells
- +2 insight bonus on all skill checks

Scarlet and Blue Ioun Stone
- +2 Intelligence (enhancement)
- +1 per level to history checks (skill)

My list for the group is 2,570gp, including the Wind Walk home and the following:
Oil of Daylight (750gp)
Scroll Remove Fear (25gp) x2
Scroll Lesser Restoration (150gp) x2
Wand Cure Light Wounds (750gp) (spare)

Assuming we have something like 20kgp to spend (which seems likely) I'm going to upgrade/buy the following:

+3 Bow (+10kgp)
Circlet of Persuasion (4,500gp)
Vest of Escape (5,200gp)

That will leave me some change for arrows and the like which I still need to sort out.

Rhesus has Greed and Gluttony.

Ring of Protection +3, 16k after upgrading +1.
Cloak of Resistance +3 upgrade, 5k.

So, I'm 21k spent after giving Bibic 1k and that should leave enough for the group purchases?

Good call on the oil of daylight. I'll run through shopping this evening/tonight.

I show us having 4 shards (the PFS chronicles make summarizing these easy).

------
Book 1
------
Shard of greed : haste 1x/day; +2 save vs transmute; +1 on attack rolls
+ pale blue rhomboid ioun stone (+2 str)
> Rhesus

Shard of pride : major image 1x/day; +2 save vs illusion; +2 skill checks
+ scarlet & blue ioun stone (+2 int, +1 per level to history)
> Bibic

------
Book 2
------
Shard of lust : suggestion 1x/day; +2 save vs enchant; +4 initiative
+ pink & green ioun stone (+2 cha)
> Spasi

------
Book 3
------
Shard of gluttony : vampiric touch 1x/day; +2 save vs necromancy; +1 max HP per HD
+ pink rhomboid stone (+2 con)
> Rhesus

We need to remember Rhesus can cast haste!

Rhesus's shard doesn't stack with the Strength belt. And if we moved the gluttony shard to Clem, it wouldn't stack with his Con belt. Maybe Clem passes his Con belt to Rhesus for the Strength belt and grabs the shard of Gluttony to try to maximize the party some more?

Here's what I have assembled for the group condition removal/emergency budget:

misc:
oil of daylight (750g) .. Bibic
wand of cure light (750g) .. Bibic
potion of remove blindness (750g) .. Clem
diamond dust (2000g) .. Clem
subtotal: 4250gp

scrolls:
suppress charms & compulsions (150g) .. Clem
break enchantment (700g) .. Spasi
remove curse (375g) .. Clem
remove disease (375g) .. Clem
neutralize poison (700g) .. Clem
teleport (1125g) .. Spasi
remove fear x2 (50g) .. Bibic
subtotal 3475gp

total 7725gp

1931.25gp each to contribute to the above

@Bibic: You can probably pass on the 150gp spent on the lesser restoration scrolls and stick the wand with 13 charges on your character since Clem has a ton of level 2 slots and has the spell as one known.

Any thoughts on the above? A raise dead scroll?

I'll be working on Clem with 22,331.75 to spend assuming he put 1931.25 into the pool for shard consumables.

I think we need a lot more wands of CLW, right? Didn't we burn through an Atol-full of them? I'm happy to contribute the above, but think we should all kick in an extra 750 for another wand each.

+1 to the rest though.

AFAIK we've been barely using a CLW wand - Bibic certainly used some as party resources were low, but Clem should have been successfully mitigating an Atol-load of wanding so far.

Certainly OK to get a few instead of a single one though, as you never know.

Clem's purchases thus far:

Upgrade cloak to +3 .. 8000g
Add another +1 to shield .. 5000g
Add another +1 to armor .. 3000g
--
Total 16000g

I agree with Clement. We're not really going through the wands much, and I end every day with spells to burn as well, all of which can convert to healing if we need it. I just want one spare wand.

So I received 25,263gp (thanks for the payback!) and a silver (which he gives to the next waif he sees so he doesn't have to deal with it). I spent 1,932gp on group purchases, and 19,700gp on stuff for myself. I'll be ready to leave Kaer Maga in 5 days and I'll have 3,631 left over.

Second thought, I think I'll pick up a Ring of Sustenance (2,500gp) and be left with 1,131gp. If anyone needs some cash, let me know.

Rhesus is way too big to wear Clem's belt.

Hey Folks,

I'm putting together home-brew, 5e D&D open world campaign to run on these boards. I'm hoping for more of a character driven, collaborative storytelling approach, and that requires active players, which is why your are currently being solicited. If that sounds like something you might be interested in, drop me a PM for more details, if not, no worries.

That sounds pretty cool. I'll pass though. I don't know 5E, and am really happy with Pathfinder so I'll stick to one theme for now.

Thanks for inviting though!

Clem we did the belt/shard switch, right?

I really like 5e, let me ruminate. I need to make sure I can devote the time necessary and often I struggle lately (as Spasi is quick to point out).

I'm good with the belt switch.

I'd likely need to pass on any new games, as I'm right at the pivot to dutifully get my posts in on a busy week, and a little behind on an extra busy week these days.

Alright Clem, I have you Belt of Con +2 and you've:

Shard of gluttony : vampiric touch 1x/day; +2 save vs necromancy; +1 max HP per HD
+ pink rhomboid stone (+2 con)

And my Belt of Rhesus Str +2.

PaizoCon tomorrow until Monday, I most likely will not be posting please feel free to GMPC.

Just wanted to say that I haven't been waiting for Rhesus, I've just been busy. Hope to have a proper post up soon.

Just so you know, I was hanging with Rhesus at PaizoCon this weekend. There are two important things you should know, GM Fanguar:
1) Rhesus likes this game a lot.
2) He is especially proud of the fact that you kicked Spasi out of the Society. He mentioned it repeatedly.
