Hey fellas, gonna be in meetings all day so won't be able to post much until maybe tonight.
Silas Hawkwinter |
New loot proposal:
+1 Frost Glaive -> Hecktor, who needs a +1 weapon or he'll run into stuff he can't hurt
+1 Full Plate with Cold Resist 10 -> Hecktor
This pushes Hecktor's personal wealth off the charts (aprox 54205g) and turns him into an armored juggernaut of doom ;) Since the rest of us are well behind that, I suggest the proceeds from selling Hecktor's old +2 Fortification Breastplate and everything else that's unwanted is split between Lucanor, Silas and Gilmork.
+1 Dagger of Spellstoring -> SELL for 4151g
Bead of Force -> SELL for 1500g
+1 Battleaxe -> SELL for 2310g
Bronze statuette of a warrior -> SELL for 15g
MW Light Mace -> SELL for 152.5g
MW Dagger -> SELL for 151g
scepter made of what look likes mithril and gold -> SELL for 600g
Ice Diamond x6 -> SELL for 2400g
Gems -> SELL for 600g
Gems -> SELL for 500g
+2 Fortification Breastplate -> SELL for 4750g
What do you think?
Total = 17129.5g split 3 ways that's 5709.83g each.
Edit: I notice Hecktor has two feats specializing in scythe. Warriors can retrain one bonus feat at level 4 for free, and perhaps use the ultimate campaign rules to re-train the other. Or you could sell the weapon and enchant the scythe, this option would tone Hecktor's wealth level down since he likely won't be able to afford the equivalent of a +2 weapon.
Hecktor |
As much as im pro- dmg, my weapon focus and mastery lies with the scythe.
That's my prime butter knife. But it can work nifty as a secondary, true.
Also, since Michael isn't taking the teamwork feat, im taking a different one instead of outflanking.
It requires 2 people with the feat to pull it off.
Taking instead Dazzling display.
Edit:
Ninja'd by Silas.
My scythe is a mwk Scythe, i haven't heard yet of enchanting a mwk. weapon. Is there a way?
Silas Hawkwinter |
Well you'll need to enchant that scythe :) Putting a +1 on it will cost 4000g (because it's cold iron), putting a +2 will cost 10000g.
Selling the glaive will raise 25650 / 2 = 12825g Split 4 ways that's 3206.25g each (over and above what I wrote above). According to the loot spreadsheet Hecktor has 2555.72g in cash so that's enough to buy a +1 and splash out on some nifty potions (enlarge person is cool).
Silas Hawkwinter |
I've seen house rules that let you turn a +1 into a +2 by paying the difference in price. We had to hire an NPC mage to do that and there were not many around.
Michael Stamford |
A weapon has to be masterwork before it can be enchanted at all. So being masterwork isn't a hindrance to enchanting, it's required. I'm also pretty sure that you can increase an item's enchantments just by paying the difference by RAW, but I could be wrong. It should be under the magic items section.
Anyway, I was figuring that I'd still get a portion of the loot for this last adventure. I'm pretty sure I'd need it in order to finish my plans for the monastery and get my small army up and running. I'll have to look at my old writeup and see how much cash I still need on top of what I already have.

Yeah I agree, gotta split with Michael, since I gave out loot based on the 5 person party.
Gilmork |
Niles could I get a full refunds on my Pearl of Power? As I've never even used it and if someone else could have used it I would have given it to them instead.
I think Gilmork will use his share to get either a belt of Incredible Dexterity or a Headband of Alluring Charisma, making the choice between +1 att/+1 AC and extra spells, higher DCs and +1 Intimidate.
Hmm putting it that way, the Headband seems better.
Silas Hawkwinter |
By raw pearls of power don't work for sorcerers oracles and bards, we need the more expensive runestones of power :(
Sure vs putting Michael into the split, don't want the loot to get out of hand.
Gilmork |
It doesn't work for any spontaneous casters, it's that little thing I overlooked when I bought them. Used them to great extent as a cleric and as a wizard so forgot to check that tiny detail again.
Not sure if magical items gt a full refund regardless, but I'd be happy as well with just 500 gp back, 500 more towards a headband.
Silas Hawkwinter |
Gents perhaps we should have a discussion about the loot level. I was planning on getting craft wonderous item for Silas. I love the idea of crafting items but us having loads of cheap stuff will make us more powerful than expected for our level. Would we be comfortable with that? Niles would have to add more monsters or add templates to existing ones to keep the challenge up.
Silas Hawkwinter |
The DC to craft an item is 5 + item caster level. You can take 10 on crafting items. If you don't meet a requirement that adds 5 to the DC (for each missing requirement). Take crafting a +2 dexterity belt.
That's CL8 and requires cats grace. The DC is 5 plus 8 plus an additional 5 since Silas doesn't know cats grace, totaling dc18.
He has +9 Spellcraft so he'd auto succeed at making it when taking 10. The cost would be 2000g and two days time.
GM Niles |
I'm ok with Crafting, if it starts becoming an issue you guys will just start fighting monsters that carry no loot!
Incoming Hill Giant Advanced Simple Mythic Zombie!

Downtime:
Election will take place 16 Gozran 4708, that's 15 weeks after current day in the campaign.
Next adventure will take place 15 Rova 4708, 32 weeks after current day in the campaign.
So, basically if you want to do stuff you have ALOT of time to do it. OFC we will handwave most things for brevity's sake. If you are using the downtime rules, 1 week= 5days. We can conduct downtime via pm or in the gameplay thread, doesn't matter to me.
The Election is simple, there are about 800 voters in Falcons Hollow. It is a simple majority rules ballot held in the high market center. The Magistrate Vamos Harg oversees the election. Up for election this year are Sheriff and Mayor.
GM Niles |
Yeah Hecktor that is fine, but remember you have to use Handle Animal to use them in combat. Tricks and all that...
Silas Hawkwinter |
The other thing about crafting is that its perfectly fair for it to require access to a well appointed lab which is not exactly portable.
Michael Stamford |
Or use my fortress, once it's finished. Also, Silas, the caster level of an item has to be met before you can craft it as well. I think it might be a hard requirement, but even if it isn't it adds to the DC if you don't meet it.
I think I'll have some time before work today to level Michael to 5 so his NPC will be properly leveled in case the need for him arises later, and if I can do that I should be able to get some work done on getting the rest of my building plans sorted out. Next week I should definitely have some time to sort it out if I don't get it done later today.

Silas Hawkwinter |
I'll have to check that later Michael, there will be threads in the rules forum about it.
Silas Hawkwinter |
Seems there was a FAQ about this.
Michael Stamford |
Michael Level 5: +9hp(6+2+1)
Skills +1: Diplomacy, Handle Animal, Linguistics, Perception, Profession(Soldier) Ride, Sense Motive.
New Language: Sylvan
New Feat: Furious Focus
Adrienne Level 5: +8hp(5+3)
Skills +1: Perception
New Feat: Multiattack
As for my monastery/fortress, I'm gonna be running a bit short on cash, I think. It depends on what the loot split looks like.
Just building the additional rooms I want is going to cost 4570gp, and then hiring the guards and everything else is going to cost another 2170gp, for a total of 6740gp. Since I currently only have 1654gp before this loot split, that would mean that I need an additional 5086gp. I mean, I could spend the entire downtime earning capital which would probably bring the cost down, but that would mean that my fortress won't be finished by the time that downtime ended. Of course, the basement area is still a wreck as well, but I want the upstairs done.
Actually, now that I think about it, if Niles allows it I could use the completed portions of the monastery to generate capital, which can then be used to fund the rest of the upgrades that I can't otherwise afford on my own. So it would still get done, even as I'm just an NPC, and it could eventually get even better upgrades to go along with game advancement.
Also, I've decided on what Michael's banner looks like, now that he's got that ability. He'll be wearing it, all of his troops will wear it, and it will fly over the monastery/fortress. It's actually the house crest for my group in the SCA, as seen after I freshly repainted my shield. House Sable Maul FTW! Just call us the Bastards With Black Hammers.
Silas Hawkwinter |
Depending on what we sell, money will not be a problem. The +1 cold resistance armour is worth 25k or so (but it should really get used) and Quinn's swords are worth loads too. The glaive is worth a fair chunk too.
Would be good to see the fortress rebuilt!
Silas Hawkwinter |
Michael will you claim any of the items or should we just sell what's unclaimed and split the cash?
Silas Hawkwinter |
I bumped charisma at lvl 4.
It would be nice if we could move forward with the downtime plans. I need to know two thing to do that:
1. Are we recruiting? (I assume not, but if we did get a mage / sorc I'd retrain Silas to be more martial and use Quinn's weapons)
2. What are we selling?
With that information I can work out what things Silas will (try) to craft.
Does anyone want Silas to craft anything?
Hecktor |
Seems i had forgotten the extra stat increase, putting the point to Con, = 2 hp and +1 fort.
I'd like to keep the ability for now to shrug off critical hits, as well as being able to move 30ft, opposed to the 20ft the plate would press me to.
I'm okay with a recruitment, sure.
Gilmork |
I already did when I made Gilmork.
If Silas could make Gilmork a Headband of Alluring Charisma I'd be much obliged. Saves me a lot of money.
About recruitment I don't mind/care if we get back a fifth PC. I'll let the other three decide about that. Though I'll voice my opinion when we do re-open recruitment.
Silas Hawkwinter |
I'm mostly in favor of recruiting, but I'm a little wary of who we choose. Whoever it is has big boots to fill.
I'm more interested in good RP than anything, but I think the party could do with an arcane caster. What do the rest of you think?
Gilmork |
Regarding downtime:
Gilmork will likely spend some time around the fey, trying to grow better relations between them and the people of the Hollow. Mainly by trying to better the relationship between them and the Freejacks via establishment of an agreement on which trees to cut and which parts are better left standing or are dangerous.
In terms of the Hollow he will not be there for most of the time, though he knows the people would accept him as one of theirs he still feels like a stranger among them. Keeping one's mask on would do that. There still hangs an air of mystery around him and he feels more free among the fey and nature where he could drops his guard and his mask. Not to say that among his newfound friends he is not at ease, quite the contrary, but in their absence he stalks the woods, converses with fey and Freejack alike and kills any troublesome dark fey he encounters.
He keeps silver and cold-iron arrows ready for any encounters either with the werewolves or the dark fey.
Hecktor |
With our carnival streak, i'd say that is no bad choice.
But would we like a utility or a cannon?
With you suggesting a partial martial tweaking, i'd say a utility, with how we fared against the rider, i'd like a mix between the two.
Gilmork |
An arcane caster would be welcome indeed, it's a role we never had, besides you Silas.
We have one heavy hitter, a secondary melee/healer, an arcane support and a divine support/healer. Full arcane caster seems good, though I'd not mind any role as long as he makes up a good story.
Edit: So you would be suggesting a Magus Hecktor? Or a melee bard?
Silas Hawkwinter |
Ha nice Hecktor.
Silas Hawkwinter |
I think it best we see who applies before I make any changes to Silas. Ideally we'd get some battlefield control.
I was thinking something on the lines of a god wizard or sorcerer or witch or whatever. There's other ways of doing it too like cad archetype fighter.
More important than class is good RP, engagement and fun :)
Silas Hawkwinter |
@Gilmork Silas will make you a +2 headband.
