Ha! I meant as in not error-checking. :) But you guys are the best. If everyone left and didn't post for 3 weeks I'd get all depressed again like my last GM'ed game.
But back to the story - with some Star Wars references. Big ol' desert kraken and all.
Zayifid's quote is out of DC Heroes Online, via T.O. Morrow at Ace Chemicals in Gotham, by the way.

And Pace orders another pallet of anti-migraine medicine. And icepacks. Lots of icepacks.
So for purchases once we are done, I am thinking of upgrading my belt to a +2dex/+2Str, perhaps boots of speed, I would like to get Bartan a +2 con belt as well. Can anyone suggest another immediate purchase Khayal may be interested in?
How do you know those things would be available?
I don't but, I am trying to update my wish list.
Anniversary this weekend. Going hiking, so light post rate from me!
congratulations, have fun!
Congrats, Paige/MayDay.
Sorry for the delay. Your GM had some RL errands to run today, like taking his father to an eye appointment for a checkup, then his mother shopping. A gluten-free, lactose-free, organic, run-around-the-entire-city, oooh-I-forgot, let's'-go-back shopping trip. Now I want to beat something up. Let's see what's in the Gameplay thread!
Talk about a lot of +20 will saves there!
And no, the woman is not gone. She'll be back.
So taking the Accomplished Sneak Attacker feat next time we level.
Well i have inlaws in town all weekend. Will try to get a post or two in though.
I think they showed them off at Gencon, or at least a PowerPoint of them.
Everybody okay? I know we're going through a potentially (if not actively) embarrassing situation, but the plot is still viable. I'm not trying to do anything past "Rated PG-13" here! So it's more of a talking situation, although you could kill the mysterious shapeshifting swarm-calling temptress. She hasn't even gotten close enough to touch Hajar without getting sharpened steel as a pejorative first.
Let's not be too hard on our paladin. Not everyone's prepared for the free one-night-stand. But there are many flavors of "evil", and as all of you advance in levels, some people, or creatures, might seek you out just for your special abilities. Like a person with uncontrollable disease-causing abilities might want a disease-proof paladin for a paramour. And seduction is usually the first step to corruption.
So! Moving on in the desert to our wanted destination.
Honestly, OOC here, I'm not interested at all in any sexual or romantic roleplay. That's Yazi's thing, and its fine, but its most definitely not mine.
ooc, If my wife could read it then it's okay. If not, then dah, dah daaaaaaaah gameover! She kills me in my sleep and this real life level 5 daddy with a real life cha(-2) go to hell.
hahahah!
Guys I am in the middle of very important work days. I should be able to post again tomorrow. Apologies!
Khayal's not terrible at range when he has to be.
Cable modem is out at my house. Rather than spend 3 hours typing the "welcome home" ceremony on the laptop with the Wi-Fi, if everyone will give me until after the cable guy comes this afternoon, I'll be able to type it up much faster on the desktop.
And the cable guy did NOT show up this afternoon - and Time-Warner has rescheduled me for Monday the 12th. -Sigh- So I'll get you back to Kelamarne, don't worry - but I'll have to type slower, tomorrow.
Sorry everyone, family issues today. I'm still on the laptop on the Wi-Fi, so I'll see if I can type something up before Sunday the 11th.
Repair guy never showed up on 2nd scheduled appointment. Now Time-Warner Cable is claiming I didn't pay last month's bill! Arrrgghh! Wi-fi on the laptop still functional, however.
I had to fix the cable modem myself (bad power supply) after the monthly payment "mistake" was "corrected" (i.e., going to the Time-Warner business office and doling out additional cash).
Grumpy, but back with high-speed Internet.
Bartan has quietly made his way back to his gambling house, and checks up on the business as it's been running for the past month. He also collects his share of any profits.
It's Day 34 after you left. If you want to roll daily, weekly, or monthly, go ahead. Same for anyone expecting "mail on order" from Katapesh.
For the two weeks Hajar will be ministering to the spiritual needs of Kelmerane in his role as Abbott Protector, he will also be overseeing the continuing rebuilding and refurbishing of the Monastery of St. Vardishal.
Get your 7th Level characters sheets ready but don't promote your characters just yet. If you want a clear-cut answer, I can only say wait until you reach your first night in the 3rd book, The Jackal's Price.
GM hints for the next book: Pathfinder is either "start in a major city" or "you'll never see a major city until Level 6". Rise of the Runelords and Legacy of Fire fall into the second category. You'll be going to Katapesh of Katapesh, the capital of this desert country, so don't worry too much about selling all the swords and bows and everything you pried off of the dungeon floors in House of the Beast. You'll be able to sell it in Katapesh. The same for buying the gotta-have-it magic items: Katapesh is a major city, with a gp limit of 100,000. They don't exactly have a ring of three wishes on display, but with the right negotiation and price almost...anything is available. Magic items. Weapons. Armor. Slaves (male and female). Exotic foods, plants, and animals. Katapesh is "trade above all", and you might be presented with some interesting choices if you press certain matters.
That being said, I do want to make a cryptic GM suggestion. Be ready for anything in Katapesh. Be ready for anything after Katapesh. He or she who becomes truly self-sufficient in this Adventure Path comes out ahead of those requiring someone else to repair their armor, fix their weapons, provide food, heal injuries, or protect them from the environment. Superman, Wonder Woman, or Green Lantern win out over Batman or Cyborg, in this case. And playing Aquaman in the desert is a fool's choice. After Level 6 you're ready for the next big challenge in D&D: travel. And monsters with DR and immunity to everything. Crafters have a slight edge, but only if the players cheat and read ahead in the Adventure Path. Teamwork will win out over everything, don't worry.
Alright, wealth figured out (I think. If I'm missing anything, add it!)
Loot Log (We're on the Sold Loot: 10-19 tab)
We each get 14,423gp, unless we're able to find someone to cheaply identify the top two items, in which case we'd get a bit more (Bartan's spellcraft failed on them, so we're only getting 1/3 price for them at the moment.
If you're claiming any of the items, delete the price from sell value and put your name in the Taken line.
We aren't selling that Axe or that Scimitar right?!?! That would be insane to sell them when we should be using them! Or the Chainmail or the Headband...or the Amulet of Natural Armor (I think Hajar was going to use that one...)
Haha well apparently we're not selling anything! :-P
I'm fine with keeping the good stuff, no problem there. However, I would really like it if we could buy Bartan a Belt of Con +4 to give him a little more staying power. Would using some party funds on that be reasonable?
As far as identifying, Bartan can take the 2 weeks to "take 20" using his Detect Magic to identify them...I think they were supposed to be +1Chain Shirt and Slippers of Spider Climbing.
Are we certain that this is the extent of our loot....I'm pretty sure we found some other stuff. Look on the first page of the loot log for a few things.
edit: I went back and edited the loot log a bunch. I put things aside for people.
Yazi you should take the Ring of Chameleon Power, you or Bartan it'll help tons with you sneaking around.
Khayal should take the Ring of Mind Shielding....he has low Will saves.
With whatever we get, I say we just buy Bartan the Belt, everyone else has gotten some good stuff.
