Hungry Voodoo's Mines of Zolurket (Inactive)

Game Master voodoo chili

In 4121 AR, the desert dwarves of the Barrier Wall Mountains sealed the famed Tar-Urkatha mine abruptly, saying only that one of the richest platinum mines in history had played out. Nearly six centuries later, the truth rises from the darkness.

Shrugs - you might want to list that archetype up on your character sheet as well Cortos - currently there isn't any indication that you are going that way.

I wouldn't get too excited about what we could potentially make yet. Voodoo still has to cast a jaundiced eye over what you can actually get out of 80 lb of adamantite...

I'm pretty sure it will be from here to the Pathfinder Lodge - then based on indications we're likely off to Solku.

The archetype starts swapping class abilities from level 3, not before.


Male Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker) 5

I'm from the school of thought that the archetype is a Level 1 decision, even if the abilities don't start swapping until later on. But each to their own.

All will be revealed, but keep in mind that these metals aren't the easiest to work with and it will take some time for weapons and armor to be forged and there will be the maquila.

Exactly - just idle speculation as I was wondering how far we could stretch the weight of ore based on the weight of actual products. That's also why I left some unused weight at the end, for leverage purposes.

Don't worry about the maquila, Chitleen has contacts in the fedarales and can get us a good deal, ok ese?


OK, but I'm going to have to see their badges...

I should say I recently re-watched Treasure of the Sierra Madre to get in the mood for the next part. ; )


Male Elf Wizard 3 (Transmuter-Enhancement) / AC13->17(mage armor) / HP23->full

Daeron updated to lvl 2.


NOTE: my posting may be spotty over the next week as i'll be camping, travelling and holidaying.


Male Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker) 5

FYI - I'll be out of town tomorrow, so probably won't get a chance to put in an update until Sunday evening my time (in roughly 48ish hours from this post).

Please DMPC me if required to keep things moving.


Male Elf Wizard 3 (Transmuter-Enhancement) / AC13->17(mage armor) / HP23->full

I reckon hiring a surface team would be advantageous. So that we could camp out in relative safety when we're resting for the day.

I propose:
guards
healer
cook?
wagon
draft animals
provisions

We should also divvy up the metals as I'm sure each has an idea of what to do with 16lb of adamantite and 4lbs of noqual each.


i am still here, and shirish would very much be interested in better stuff. but, mercenary stuff ain't her thing, and merchant stuff even less.


Dwarf Barbarian 2

I actually don't know if we are getting a fair deal here, both in character and out of character. What say you?
Daeron: where do we get them in the middle of the desert? How much do you think we will have to pay them? Aren't we risking they get attacked by the gnolls while we're away?
I like the idea, but I'n entirely convinced by its viability, that's why I'm asking.


Male Elf Wizard 3 (Transmuter-Enhancement) / AC13->17(mage armor) / HP23->full

I believe we are going to stop over at Katapesh before heading over to the mines, based on previous discussions. I think Katapesh is a major center of trade and it would be not too difficult to get what we need before heading in the mines.


To be clear you are several days SSW of Katapesh City. The mines are in the far west of the country so you would have to go back East to Katapesh if you wish.

Solku is the biggest city on the way to the mines. It is decently sized though it cannot compare to Katapesh, of course. But you could find all the mundane supplies you want.

T&T Mining Co can take care of the camp details unless you'd prefer to handle that. If you want to run with the caravan rules from JR i'm cool with that, too. we aren't really talking huge distances though.


Male Elf Wizard 3 (Transmuter-Enhancement) / AC13->17(mage armor) / HP23->full

I would prefer to let the company handle the surface camp while the party is exploring below but if the others are pushing for a stronger share in the reward on success than it would be best if the party handles it.


Male Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker) 5

I'm happy to handwave the minutae of the mining camp. Voodoo skull can always use it as a plot hook when he wants, but blurring it out lets us focus on the mine itself :)

Grand Lodge

Hey busy holiday weekend for me catching up everything by tomorrow night.


Male Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker) 5

Hungry Skull - I'm pretty sure the 1 month break between now and meeting up in Solku is enough time to get our skymetal gear made? - then we pick up from the dwarves in Solku?

Chitleen's personal shopping list is thus:

20 x Adamantite Arrows - 3 lb
3 lb for me - 1.5 lb for Dwarves - uses 4.5 lb of adamantite

Noqual Studs on MW Studded Leather - 5 lb (so 2.5 lb of Noqual)
20 x Noqual Arrows - 3 lb (so 1.5 lb of Noqual)
4 lb for me - 2 lb for Dwarves - uses 6 lb of Noqual

sheesh. now that i have a decent connection. yes. my thought was that Truther and Trathis would wotk the metal in Katapesh and have your gear finished when you all meet up in Solku. There might be someone to work the adamantite in Solku, but not the resources for working noqual.

For those who just want to sell the metal, T&T can just give you scrip for use in Solku- good as gold. Likely you'll have gained a level by the time you get this windfall so wealth will be more appropriate for that level. you may be a bit behind for 2nd level, but you won't likely be 2nd level long anyway.


Male Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker) 5

Sounds good to me :)

For everyone else - I only want the gear I've listed, so feel free to divvy up the rest of the metal how you see fit.

Grand Lodge

Not sure what would be best for Jerrand. Maybe just selling to get a cloak of resistance or a pearl of power.

We are level 2 now right? So we are a little behind on are WBL.

actually, you've got the wealth +, but it's not exactly liquid. conveniently, Var does have a small stash of low level magic items from the pathfinder society that he can sell or trade- the cloak would be available or you could get the pearl in Solku.


Dwarf Barbarian 2

Cortos shopping list is just adamantine greataxe for now, so 18 lb of adamantium total (12 +6 for the dwarves). I would also like to make it masterwork, if that means selling a little more adamantium from that share that's fine.

Don't know what to do with the noqual, any suggestions?


Male Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker) 5

Cortos - an adamantine weapon must be masterwork to start with, but it remains to be seen whether Hungry Voodoo will consider that part of the 1/3 construction cost or not.

We always have the 800-1100gp of incidental wealth (jewels and gold foil) that we can use some of that cost.

As I put up earlier - Noqual is a good candidate for making shields out of - not only will it be masterwork and lighter, but it will also provide a bonus vs saves.

A Heavy 'Noqual' Shield would run to 15lb (halved to 7.5lb as Noqual is 1/2 steel weight) - which would take 11.25 lb of metal to achieve.

Arrows are always good as well. (Noqual gives a bonus vs summoned creatures)


Dwarf Barbarian 2

Mmmm... What if I get an adamantine dwarven waraxe (total 12 lb) and a noqual shield? I'd get less damage for more protection, and I'd still keep my trusty greataxe if needed.

Is 23.25 lb of stuff a fair share? How much do we get each?


Male Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker) 5

I'd say stick with the wild and wooly two handed slavering greataxe barbarian. Adamantine will give your greataxe a big boost against DR and maintains the two handed strength bonus.

A shield ain't going to do much good for you unless you pair it up with some armor anyway ;)

I'd say let either Jerrand or Shirish go for the Noqual shield - but that's just me. After my 6 lb is taken out - we've only got 14 lb left as well, so enough for only a single heavy shield.


Male Elf Wizard 3 (Transmuter-Enhancement) / AC13->17(mage armor) / HP23->full

Daeron would want a brace of daggers plus a quiver of arrows in adamantine. A couple of adamantine scroll cases would also be useful. So thats (1+1+3+0.5+0.5)x1.5= 9lbs of adamantine total.


shirish smash!

a lighter "heavy" shield would be nice, but she's got the strength to wield just about anything. Heck, could give her heavy armor proficiency and have her bamp people with a tower shield if I wanted to.

This is my first totally martial PF character, so I'm not down on the whole plotting ahead on the armor and such yet.


ok, so figgering out all the production costs-

80/5= 16 lbs @ of adamantium
20/5= 4 lbs @ of noqual (consider it x2 for determing what you can make with it)

so after the 1/3 cut- you've each got about 11 lbs of adamantite
and 2.5 lbs of noqual (5 lbs of gear)

I didn't mean for it to get overcomplicated, i just thought it was an interesting way to get your starting $ and gear.

So everyone could have a noqual buckler or equivalent and adamantine hvy flail and dagger or equal. You;ll each be just shy of a noqual heavy shield and adamantine great axe, but you can always deal as some of you have far less need for the metals.


Male Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker) 5

Bringing it all back together based on what people have put up. Personally I am in favour of disbursing the metals from a 'pool', rather than splitting it into equal shares and then horse trading:

The italicised are just suggestions.

Adamantite:
MW Greataxe for Cortos - 12 lb
2 x 20 Arrows - 6 lb (1 for Chitleen, 1 for Daeron)
2 x MW Daggers for Daeron - 2 lb
2 x Scrollcase for Daeron - 1 lb
MW Warhammer for Jerrand - 5 lb
MW Longsword for Shirish - 4 lb
MW Heavy Adamantite Shield for Shirish - 15 lb
Uses: 45 lb, 22.5 lb for Dwarves = 67.5 lb used

12.5 lb of left over adamantine could be traded for about 1,500 gp?

Noqual:
Studs on MW Studded Leather for Chitleen - 2.5 lb
MW Heavy Noqual Shield for Jerrand - 7.5 lb
2 x 20 Arrows - 3 lb (1 for Chitleen, 1 for ?)
Uses: 13 lb, 6.5 lb for Dwarves = all used up

Grand Lodge

Is a good way to get are WBL I agree. Better than "You find a chest with 5,000gp in it. Everyone gets a share."

I like the divisions above and say we go for that.

The 1,500gp leftover should go towards a wand of healing and some potions for everyone. That way I can be less of a heal bot. :)


wait, i seemed to have miss something. are we farting about the lodge waiting for our stuff for a month?

Shouldn't we like, go kill some things so we can take its loot, and buy even cooler loot?

*is confused*


nope. your stuff will be in Solku so it's best you start meandering that way. plenty can happen en route.


Hey all,
just a note that I'm moving...again. twice in a month- yeaaaa! and i'll likely be couchsurfing for the next few weeks so posting may be spotty.


Male Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker) 5

Have fun with the move Hungry one! - I'll be heading off on vacation down to Australia on 14th December through to 10th Jan, so my own posting rate will be somewhat lessened also.

Will still be able to get online, but less often and for less time.


anyone out there?


Female Human Housewife/1

yeah, just have flashbacks to the hell of difficult terrain, and no ranged weapons.

maybe we should have dressed up cortos as a male mantis and prayed that the one there is female and wants to mate with him. and try to eat him.


Male Elf Wizard 3 (Transmuter-Enhancement) / AC13->17(mage armor) / HP23->full

was ill over the weekend, fuzzed up memory is starting to comprehend again.


Male Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker) 5

Chitleen is still here - just awaiting a low initiative count.


sounds like Cortos is pretty busy lately. wondering if he'd mind me DMPC-ing him if several days go by?


Dwarf Barbarian 2

I'm having connection issues, so if it happens again feel free to NPC me. His usual tactics are charging, raging and power attacking, so this shouldn't be too difficult.


Hi all,
good to see Daeron still around. looks like Lostgamer (Jerrand) is truly lost and hopefully everyone else is still in? I'm on the road again off and on until after the 1st so may keep the game pretty much on hold until the start of the year and then get things running again if that's cool.


Female Human Housewife/1

Is cool beans by me. Got my anniversary coming up on the 30th!

Hope you're enjoying your holidays.


Male Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker) 5

I'm still here O' hungry skull :)


Happy anniversary, Hu5tru!
i'm trying to recover from a week in my brother's plague house- 3 young'un's all coughing, snotting, squirting, etc. with disease. pretty happy kids despite all that though. i'm just lying low trying to recover so I can actually enjoy the new year. bleargh.


SO, who's still around? any interest in reviving this campaign?


Male Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker) 5

Raises his hand - just got back from holidays today, so will be resuming normal service.


yep, I knew you were back this week. that's why I'm doing a roll call.

Shirish and Daeron still around? Any dwarves left?


Male Elf Wizard 3 (Transmuter-Enhancement) / AC13->17(mage armor) / HP23->full

I'm still around Mr skull. just out of town going about attending some interviews.
