I think everyone is getting used to you rambling and just ignores it ;P

If it makes you feel any better my original post was even flatter. So you got a little more out of me. I shall try harder to be trolled in the future.

Lol
I'll try to go counterpoint to you

I will be traveling at least 3 days a week for the next 4 weeks. I should be able to post in the evenings, but please don't wait on me. Surely you've figured out by now what Whiskeyjack will do :p

Sorry guys, had an emergency dominate the past couple of days. Back in action.

Okay, my travel obligations for the season are over (barring any new ones), so I should be back to checking the boards and posting at least once a day. Thank you for putting up with my delays and absence.

Can someone please tell me how many charges I need to take off the wand for healing while I was gone?

Did a quick count and going into the last fight Eldon was down 20 and Whiskeyjack down 7.

Whiskeyjack CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Eldon CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Eldon CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Eldon CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Eldon CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

This leaves Eldon down 1 hp. So 5 more charges.

Oh, and update will be in th eevening today. Back to regular schedule tomorrow. Also, welcome back!!

Thank you, and thank you!

Wand is down to 20 charges

And I'm back and we can kick in to daily updates once more.

I'm going away the 22nd to the 25th, this weekend. With, unfortunately no wifi. So If needed pls feel free to bot me.

For a gentle hint, you guys actually have direct evidence from Estovion's notes that Mathus conspired with the Whispering Way to murder the last Packlord in exchange for splitting up her heart. Estovion was the way the Whispering Way contacted Mathus. You are of course free to withhold that information; you did get the notes a long time ago.

Dear GM and fellow players, I am unable to post today and will not have internet access for several days. I will be back in the weekend! :)

Enjoy!

Currently very busy, will update in the weekend!

OKAY.

Loot spreadsheet is up and completed with a link at the top. This game is very light on loot and as a result I'm putting my thumb on the scale. A few changes:

- There are some bodies you didn't search, I'm giving you stuff from them anyways.
- You found a chest with 600 platinum in the Stairs of the Moon, so take 1k gold each.
- The vollensag stalkers had valuable stuff on them, including bracers of armor +2 so those are all listed.

The only loot that shows as claimed from my (lazy) search is Wren
getting the spellbook and Kawrock the +2 bastard sword.

ring of feather fall
bag of holding I
potion of heroism
x4 mw greatsword
x4 mw dagger
x4 bracers of armor +2
clear spindle ioun stone
jewelry (500 gp)
wand of acid arrow (38)
light crossbow +1
amulet natural armor +1
ring of protection +1
mw longsword
mithral chain shirt +1
bastard sword +2
dagger +1
cloak of resistance +1
x4 silversheen

The values of all of these items are in the spreadsheet linked at the top.

If you claim an item, please sign your name on the spreadsheet, and DELETE the loot value. Once everyone has claimed items, I will tally the remaining gold, and you guys get that divided up amongst you.

Have at! The total value of the above loot and found gold (including the 6k bonus) is 37,296.5 or 6,216.08 each. Every item you take will obviously reduce the total.

If you want to shop immediately, you guys got 1235.6 straight gold each.

Having copied what she wanted from the spellbook, Wren is happy to sell it.

I think it's worth 1230gp (math in spoiler below).

I don't think there is anything more for Wren, claiming nothing.

I claimed the ring of protection earlier on. Noted it on the spreadsheet.

There's nothing I'd like to claim. I'll have to think about purchases I might want to make for Eldon.

GM, can we get chronicle sheets again for our PFS characters now we've finished book 3? :)

If so I'd like mine to go to Dylara Yssal again, PFS # 115025-4.

You have not finished book 3. You finished part 3 of book 3 :D I'm doing this mid-chapter breaks so I can give "the story thus far" pieces thus far.

So you're still very much in Broken Moon, but you're at part 4 of 4 in Broken Moon. I'll do chronicles sheets then.

I'll take the Amulet of Natural armor to help me stand by the punching bag, I mean Arval, and keep him upright.

I'll also take the cloak of resistance, but only if no one else wants it.

I think when I converted Whiskeyjack over to HeroLab, I forgot a lot of equipment in my haste. I don't know where everyone else is sitting, but as of right now Whiskeyjack has a grand total of 6,832 gp of cash and gear on him (roughly equivalent WBL to a level 4 character).

Kawrock would like the ring of feather fall. Since he is a natural flier he doesn't get a soft landing if he falls unconscious.

Okay, so I went over the gear everyone has here to figure out where were are value of gear wise. I did some quick rounding here but am broadly accurate on the thousands.

Kawrock - 18.8k
(+1 keen longsword, and +2 bastard sword short up his wealth, I imagine he's selling one)
Eldon - 9.6k
Lena: 13k
Arval: 12.4k
Whiskeyjack: 6.8k
Wren: 11.5k

Now I don't want to bring up WBL to the 33k. The fights could actually be harder despite advanced templates on everything, but there's huge disparity between the bottom and top characters. I have a few options here:

- Dump cash into each character to bring you up to a roughly equal WBL
- Put my thumb on the scale for future loot drops

I'm doing option 2 regardless, but it'd be more drastic over last part of Broken Moon. What to you guys think?

Unless someone would like the +1 keen longsword Kawrock would have no need for it. As far as putting your thumb on the scale I'd say a lighter touch would be preferred. I've played through some of the stuff coming up and I think my GM did something similar.

I prefer option 2 as well...and don't expect to hit WBL (we have 6 yahoos after all).

Option 2 it is. That said I'll sort something out with Whiskey separately and see if we can find that missing loot.

I will go through the threads tonight and see if I can pick up anything that I might have missed (my problem, after all).

As for WBL, I only brought it up because I was woefully low, and didn't want to be the burden on the party. Gear can make a big difference at level 8.

Though it doesn't affect Wren (she has a headband), the issue might be that we can't even buy a +2 stat item in town (given the 2k spending limit), let alone get a +2 on an armor or weapon. By level 8, it's nice to have access to that bump.

Also, can each of us put aside 500 gp to purchase 4 wands of CLW?

Chastel is not of major significance to the game and really just functions as a place where you can buy/sell stuff. I'll increase the base value to 4k - it's a major trading hub anyways and so can carry more valuable equipment than one would find elsewhere.

k, so apparently Wren and Lena both had wands of CLW that didn't get used so far, so I think we really only need 1 more (if any). That is, if you don't mind Whiskeyjack holding onto them and using them for your behalf.

No, Wren is happy to hand off her wand of CLW (43/50). However, I still recommend at least 4 more. Why?

1) In general, we aren't and won't be as well armored/defended as most lvl 8/9 yahoos: we don't have the wealth to put towards armor bumps and whatnot (like belts of dex).
2) As mentioned above, we will be facing foes with the advanced templates: they hit harder and live longer.
3) We don't have a dedicated healer...and don't want to ask any yahoo to warp their character into doing more healing, and so we won't be seeing large bursts of healing.
4) We don't know when we'll be back in a town to buy things again.
5) We will eventually use them.

6) Arval burns through them like they're firewood

I have the money for another wand. I would like to upgrade in town once the loot is distributed, but I think that'll work out. I do think I'll be needing some extra armor soon.

Okay, everyone has posted in some way. The loot is now sold. (the group isn't taking the bag of holding?)

Each person receives 5861.08 gold.

Of course the group is taking the bag of holding!

Well, someone had to say so. :P

There. 5652.75 each. Spend it all in one place!

Uh does the 5652.75 number include the 1235.6 gp? Or is the total just shy of 7k?

It includes the 1235.6 gold, the sheet includes the looted cash and the bonus 6k.

Chipping in the 500 for the cure wands, leaving 5162.75 to add to his wild armor enchantment.

.1565. gp to spend

-.510. gp lvl 8 spell scribing
-----------
.1055. gp to spend

..1055.0 gp to spend

I'll try to figure it out tonight.

After careful consideration, Wren declines to buy anything just yet. She considered buying a nice cloak of resistance and/or a lsr rod of extend, but figures hoping for a cloak and waiting to get a nicer headband might be a better use of her monies.

Gameplay will resume on Thursday, soeveryone has one more day to make purchases.

808.44

Can I get my armor and weapon upgraded at a blacksmith here? Like to add +1 to each (total of 5k)
