Leave it to the undine! :D
That would work, assuming she can climb the last fifteen feet to the top. Just don't climb all at once. This party is about as heavy as it's ever gonna get without adding Smenk to the group.
And not to be redundant but WE HAVE A ROPE OF CLIMBING.
So...is now the time when Spiny goes into retirement? Rodrigo is going to be a noble from the Free city, a third son. He's kind of a playboy gambler type and might have some dealings with the Thieves' Guild?
Actually, someone with ties to the Thieves' Guild works perfectly. I'll work on phasing you in—currently working on phasing Spiny out.
How close ties are you comfortable with him having?
Whatever works. He can be a rich boy turned gangsta if that's good.
Ohh, thats fun!
A rich boy playing at gangsta or a legitimate gangsta.
Those are two entirely different tropes.
For the record, in case "we really need to rest before going on any more quests" is a concern, there won't be any encounters at the Obad-Hai shrine. That said, the message isn't an urgent one, so it can wait until the morning.
A rich boy, who blew his fortunes gambling, and now is a gangster to pay off his debts? Someone who is as saavy as Rodrigo, can turn invisible and summon all manner of critters is all kind of useful for a crime family. However I don't want him to be evil. Just naughty.
Hey, so just realized, between the kitty-cat distraction and Eben and Farrukh slipping off to do their own thing, we kind of neglected to question our drow prisoner. Oops? Can we assume she's just sitting bound and gagged in the stables on top of the corpse pile?
I knew it! The cat was there to distract is!
What, you mean we can't just sell her to a glue factory for a few extra bucks?
Yeah, sure. I mean, I got spared the bribe money and everything...
So everyone else please chime in on the negotiations. The original point of setting up this meeting was to see if the guild could give us access to a raising cleric and maybe defray the cost of the raising a bit. BUT that was before Gark let it be known that Astraden would be fine and dandy with a reincarnation (and it sounds like there's an Obad-Hai druid KCs setting up for that purpose.) On the other hand, we don't know that yet because, well, we haven't been able to cast speak with dead upon the departed. So while Eben's still looking for a raiser, my slightly altered plan is to maybe get a guild cleric who can speak to the three dead party members for us and make their desires clear. (And then get a payout on top of that.)
I'd chime in but I'm sort of indisposed . . .

The lights dim. A gentle rapping can be heard on the table. Spending a few moments to decipher the message from beyond, the heroes quickly determine to it say 'Noooooo Raiiiiise Deeeeead...'
So re: the current offer, regardless of how we wind up resolving this, it might be worth banking it & taking the two spells as an IOU to be paid later. 900*6 would be 5,400. (Or 3,600, if the offer was only for the four living party members; we didn't exactly clarify before moving on to other matters). A raise dead plus a restoration would be 6,000 gp even before factoring in the cost to hire someone to cast the two spells in the first place. This could be looked at as a decent bargain.
(Caveat: this is really only useful as long as we're still in or around Greyhawk City when our next death happens. Or if someone dies after we've got teleport on tap, which, with a summoner about to get on board, may not be that far distant.)
Rodrigo, this isn't a good way to start a brolationship.
Ha! Rodrigo is not a bro. He's a rich pervert with an arrogance problem.

Considering that we're sitting at a table with the woman Tanith once tried to bed as his 'winnings' in a knife-throwing contest, I think he should count his blessings that Carina is easily distracted by a 22 charisma Aasimar.
And maybe this will make Farrukh look better in comparison. :-)
...it's 22 CHA.
How the hell do you expect me to not be distracted by that?! XD
And Carina's moved on from that. I think.
or at least she has bigger things to worry about

I'll have you know it's a new day and that Tanith has all five of his blessings back.

*Checks*
Oh, hey, it is five.
Deliberately slowing down a bit so other people have a chance to respond. See y'all in the morning.
By the way, the reason the Guild of Thieves is offering a raise dead is (in the metagame) for Gattel, since he has a family and is most likely to suffer from a, say, troglodyte form.
Hey guys, KC just noticed that my point buy is actually 21 rather than 20. He said to make an adjustment like Dex down to 10 so I guess I'll do that.
Someone alert the Paizo police!
So will Astraden be rolling on the default reincarnation list or will she be using a special one like Carina did?
Point buy fixing: 11 to 10 Dex
Reincarnation: Half-orc
+2 Strength
Darkvision 60 ft.
Intimidating
Orc blood
Orc ferocity
Retrained: 4th-level ability score increase from Intelligence to Charisma (Astraden's connection to others has strengthened with exposure to otherworldly arts, but she lost some memories as her soul began to acclimate to Ysgard)
New feat: Selective Channeling (her last living act was to destroy an enemy without harming her friends; now, she can heal her friends without healing an enemy)
+5+1 hp
+1 Fort
+1 Will
+1 rank to Appraise
+1 rank to Craft (carpentry)
+1 rank to Knowledge (planes)
+1 rank to Knowledge (religion)
+1 level of spellcasting progression: +1 1st-level spell, +1+1 4th-level spells
Channel damage 4d6 (6/day, DC 14)
Focus item
I suppose we'll find out soon enough but she-orc, he-orc, or something else?
Intimidating is iffy—it depends on if you see it as a consequence of looking like a scary half-orc or being raised to be a scary half-orc.
Generally, I'd rule with the former. Half-orcs don't have a stable culture, and a half-orc could therefore quite easily be raised among very peaceful or un-intimidating people. It's an innate trait.
That's racist!

She-orc - I don't think reincarnate normally changes genders.
By the way, KC rolled some real physical dice for this one; he got a picture for "proof" but if anyone wants to contest that roll I'm fine swapping to some other race. A Strength bonus on Astraden isn't super useful since she's focusing on spells and channels nowadays, but darkvision and ferocity might prove useful late.
I'm generally opposed to non-above board rolling but you guys have special circumstances. =)
I like to keep reincarnation rolls between me and the player, to ensure they have the chance to reveal the new race themselves. I did the same thing with Carina, in fact.
Yep. :)
Well, could have been worse. At least she's not a gnome.
I know. Still, Carina's going to be feeling some guilt over having contributed to Astraden's death.
I'm kinda waiting on KC to provide the results of Rodrigo's Spellcraft checks before I take a crack at them.
So, ID'ed items:
Eel Ring: Ring of Swimming
'Frozen Heart' Greatsword: +1 Frost Greatsword
Elaxan's Crossbow: +1 Merciful Light Crossbow
2 Scrolls: See Invisibility & Dominate Person
Items to be ID'ed:
'Memory' Draconic Sword
Licorice Wand w/Celestial Words
Glowing Blue Sapphire
Mwk Rapier w/Olidammara's Symbol
2 Heavy Dresses (?)
Birch Bark Wand
Pair of Magic Gemstones
Bunch o' Potions
Elaxan's Wand
Blood-Spattered Spellbook
Bird Skull Spellbook (which I assume was Filge's)
Is this correct?
Looks right, yeah.
Left out the pearl necklace. Oops.
Sorry about the sloppiness with the loot sheet. When there’s that much unidentified stuff I know it’s a pain to track everything down.
Did you end up writing in each of the IDed items in the sheet or do I need to do that when I get home?
I copied the info over. KC, can you take a look and double check?
It looks like we’ve got a few items that aren’t IDed. Can Carina quaff another potion or do we need to wait until tomorrow?
Bah +1 frost greatsword just a little too late for Cuet to use it! Someone better use that...
:/
Tanith could take it but I don’t know that he’d use it that often. =(
That rapier would be sick for Astraden.
A couple questions:
Did Rodrigo come in with full level 7 character wealth? Should we take out Cuetz’s share of the wealth and just spread it among the rest of the party for this haul?
Though also, that rapier would pay off her Restorations, and then some. That's 9k gp alone.
True, but we ARE going up against a mind flayer...
That rapier might end up being more valuable as a weapon we can use instead of as gold.
The glamered enchanted chain shirts can go though. Easily.
I did come with full wealth. I'm not sure how KC wants Cuetzpalli's wealth handled. Maybe take any items you actually intend to use, and posthumously donate the rest to the temple of Kord?
I wasn't talking about his current gear (although that's a good point). I like idea of donating it to the church of Kord.
I was referring to his share of the haul we're soarting through now.
