We could probably just fast-forward with a brief montage of activities to the meeting of Celeste, unless someone has something they want to roleplay out.
Tanith was hoping to have the shrine in the process of being rebuilt. If you want we can just hand-wave it. How much would it cost?
Did you guys actually tear the place down?
Tanith was actually going to rebuild Varda's shrine.
Oh, right, got it.
Building rules are located here. I'd say it would cost roughly the same as a default shrine, plus 200 gp for living arrangements for a priest, for a total of 470 gp.
Oh we can do a lot better than that. The buildings adjacent were burned up too right? Are they available for sale?
Tanith wants to build a real center for the community. Something that's part YMCA, part hardcore sports gym, and part worship/meeting hall.
That would cost about 1,500 gp, then, plus 150 per lot purchased from the city. A total of 1,950 gp.
Of course, this will mean forcing a bunch of homeless people out of the Burnt Hovel where they've been squatting.
That's doable. Can we hand-wave Tanith finding a general contractor and getting that started or did you want to RP it out?
Tanith is just one goon with more money than sense. He can't solve all of society's problems. Hopefully whoever ends up running the place can find work/homes for the displaced homeless.
Surely you're not saying
We have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
Tanith has a pretty easy time finding a contractor (Wake's Construction, for instance).
How much does it cost to rent a flat in the Muddle?
Also, anyone have scroll requests for this adventure? I can scribe a couple this downtime.
Astraden determines that the Muddle doesn't currently have any vacancies.
Not sure on scrolls. Do we have a bank of troubleshooting consumables like remove blindness, remove paralysis, and restoration?
What kind of timeline does Mr. Wake think we're looking at?
I can grab remove blindness/deafness. KC, how does the restoration material component thing work for scrolls? Do the scrolls come in 100 gp and 1000 gp varieties or just 100 gp and you provide diamond dust on your own?
Astraden:
If the scroll has a material component cost, it is added to the base price and cost to create.
Tanith: It will take about 3-4 months to fully complete (based on the building time for a complete inn), though basic aspects of the shrine (meeting center, quarters for the priest) will be done much sooner. Regardless, it will probably be too long for Tanith to oversee the whole process personally unless he wants to take an extended break from adventuring.
Look, if we were overly concerned with the homeless population, I imagine we wouldn't have killed the guy (and his pet spider) who was working so hard to reduce it.

Too soon.

That's fine. I was curious if it was something we'd see come to fruition within the course of the campaign.
It's not too unlikely. After all, the last four installments have taken 55 days, and we have eight installments left. We'll see.
Oh, by the way, Farrukh, a sidenote—there are bookies other than the Church of Norebo that handle more ordinary bets for the Champion's Games. Norebo's thing is more of a lottery where you get assigned a team at random. Convention bets and odds will be available, and betting on yourself may or may not be allowed. A Knowledge (local) check can get you a quick answer, as can just waiting and seeing.
Restoration has a flexible material component, though.Astraden:
If the scroll has a material component cost, it is added to the base price and cost to create.Components V, S, M (diamond dust worth 100 gp or 1,000 gp, see text)
Yes, so there would be some scrolls made for Ability Score Restoration and some made for Negative Level Restoration.
Working on the montage post. Do Eben, Carina, Farrukh and Rodrigo have anything in particular their characters will be doing?
Carina's going to be going to the theatre with Astraden.

Not that I can think of.

After the play Astraden's going to go buy components for a scroll of remove blindness/deafness and start work on that (taking 10 on Spellcraft). Once she's done scribing it, she'll go back to Eligos' house and take advantage of his books.
CL 5 scroll of remove blindness/deafness components: 187.5 gp.
Once Carina is done with the play, she's going to be copying the formulae she found in the drow alchemist's book. Taking 10 on Spellcraft for each one.
Rodrigo will look for a profitable investment. Real estate or the like.
Not sure how seriously to take that.
I’ve got nearly 13k burning a hole in my pocket....why shoildn’t I use it to become a slumlord? Yhen start a process of gentrification which ends wiyh me being even more rich.
I’ll be in a plane for yhe day or so...I’ll check back after that.
Over the next couple of days, Eben-
-does some daily & nightly (in the crooked house) street performing for spare coinage.
-drops back by the Screaming Blade and invites Lowri out to dinner.
- buys a masterwork whip.

Night, everybody.

Sorry at 2am I only respond to 1700 word posts.
Hey, KC, if it's not asking for too much info: is this the same Celeste that was an NPC in Shackled City?
Yep! I've never run or played Shackled City, but the installment does mention she appears there in some capacity. I didn't get stats, though, so if you're noticing discrepancies, that's why. :P
Nah, SC handled her poorly as an NPC. She was created to be mysterious and beneficial, but they never actually answered the question of who or what she was and she just kinda dropped out of the narrative. (My money had always been on her being a dragon.)
She also had an aristocratic persona, so I was kinda stumped when you showed us her pic, but the reveal explains a lot.
I'm kinda wondering if she appears in Savage Tides now. I guess I'll eventually find out.
The name of the group, and leader, are things you guys are pretty much free to decide among yourselves whenever. Ekaym won't push it as long as you have an answer by the time of the Free Dinner.
Tanith would obviously prefer something Kord-themed but with Farrukh involved that's probably a bad idea.
Yeah, wouldn't want Kord to strike you down for blasphemy.

The Faithful Few and the Honorless Heathen?
I like it.
On second thought, I don't know that we want to be all 'Yay Kord' when Olidamarra is the god that actually does the heavy lifting re: keeping us patched up. Don't piss off the god that gives you all the heals.
Jesting aside, if we want our group name to, y'know, piss off Raknian, something like 'The Triadbane Six' or 'The Wormcrushers' might be fun.
As the god of physical competition Kord seems like the better fit but like Rynjin said, Kord's not going to be too happy when a member of the team gets boos from the crowd for being an honorless heel.
I'll get a post up in a couple hours. We'll probably skip to the night of the Free Dinner (after Ekaym gives the rate he'll accept)—anything anyone wants to do before then that I should make a note of?

As an aside, the DC listed to convince him to agree to an equal share was 30. Had you guys hit 40, I was going to let Ekaym agree to 10%, but the check was just a single point short.
Ekaym can bring in 1,200 gp in healing magic each day. A stated, he'll also act as your go-between if you want to communicate with anyone outside or purchase additional supplies.
Also, in case you guys want some inspiration, here's a list of names chosen in other games.
