Megan's Curse of the Crimson Throne (Inactive)

Game Master Megan Robertson

Is it possible to purchase a not fully charged wand?

Like a Wand of Magic Missiles- CL: 3 with say only 10 charges?

Go with GMW. You'll be able to copy quite a few spells off scrolls cheaply and Barrell will Aid another to your work.

I Can Actually Use my mithral breastplate now so I'll look to sought my armor and bump my weapon.

Currently...

This is the allotment of items we are keeping... the rest is being sold.

"LOOT"
Ashe
Ring of Feather Fall [2,200gp]
Ring of Protection +1 [2,000gp]
Zellara's 'haunted' Harrow Deck
'This deck is beautifully hand-painted, images decorate this Harrow deck, the frames gilt in silver so that under lighting they sparkle and flash but the deck is quite worn. Despite the worn condition of the card backs, the images on the faces are so vibrant they seem to move when viewed out of the corner of the eye. The deck itself handles with surprising ease, almost shuffling itself. A bent, torn, or lost card always seems to mend itself or reappear when no one is looking. The cards have the ability to repair themselves if badly damaged. It is imbued with Zellara's spirit and she can sense what is going on around it, being able to manifest herself upon occasion as well as use her considerable skill as a Harrower to manipulate the cards. If you hold the deck, it can also tell you about up to 3 magic items per day, acting as an Identify spell.'

Bumping recruitment

If the wisdom item is a neck slot i will pass on it and buy a headband one.. Anyway you can modify it to a head slot since that what it is in pathfinder?

Just need to hear my exact gold split before i spend my cash pile..

To your point Graxer...your Amulet and the Periapt both go in the neck slot...but you could effectively combine them as per the rules in pathfinder on p.553 Core Rules - Adding New Abilities, third paragraph.

As for the 4-Way split... I'm only waiting on Megan to give me the number of Black Onyx jems found in the jar to calculate their total value at 50gp each... but that will be small change compared.

The gold 4-way split with still be 50,739gp each... plus a few gold after the Black Onyx are calculated. Won't reduce the value any.

I can only ASSUME Megan has read all our Discussion posts and is ok with the 150,000gp value of the Gold Statue. But she sometimes seems to miss details in our discussion thread. She has not said no.. so spend away.

Though I must admit.. a only once a day post is kind of disheartening when we're asking for answers to questions that only get partially answered or not answered at all.

Is it possible to purchase a not fully charged wand?

Like a Wand of Magic Missiles- CL: 3 with say only 10 charges?

We've got one with 43 charges, currently in Damoc's possesion. Happy to share.

Arms and armour upgrades:
Ashe... shield +1 ++>+2

Graxer ...but yes i will be wanting furious added to my weapon and possibly armor upgrades.. ... i might end up having my mithril fullplate crafted now.. It allows me to still use my 11th level ability..

Varrel... I Can Actually Use my mithral breastplate now so I'll look to sought my armor and bump my weapon.

STR Ranger, did we get the enhancement to Silf's Lamellar done before? If so shouldn't the AC bonus be +5?

Damoc does know keen. Just sayin'.

50K gp? If any of you want to borrow some of Damoc's just ask. I'm a great believer in upgrading melee types first. I also hate shopping. I'll replenish the scroll store and maybe pick up some defensive items.

I'm only asking because you offered Damoc... but a Wand - Daylight {5ch} [1,350gp] would be nice for Ashe and he could pay Damoc back quickly. You might even consider buying a full wand of Daylight for Damoc... 6,000gp, in which case don't bother buying Ashe's. Its a useful enough spell and Pathfinder loves to debuff the party with darkness effects.

We did I believe.
Good catch! On the lamellar. Will adjust.

I will have to peruse the gear lists.

Probably will change my Scimitar to a +1 Evil Outsider Bane Scimitar (I can arcane pool keen)

Enough left to bump both my armor and Silf's lamellar to +2.

Awesome!

Now we just need to get back home to sell/craft IN GAME!

Now back from Church - you lot have been chatty!!!

OK. I don't think the authors had considered what folks might do with unholy statues, but hey, why not... it was supposed to be at least life-size and gold, so a bit of number-crunching based on an average human gave the weight... so if you lot decide to melt it down, that's up to you. Enjoy... :) Of course, I haven't decided yet what the goldsmith is going to think about it when you roll up to the forge with the thing on a cart under a tarp!

Number of black opals = 23.

Rolth's spellbook contains:

4th: animate dead, dimension door, enervation, and ice storm
3rd: dispel magic, hold person, lightning bolt, ray of exhaustion, and vampiric touch
2nd: detect thoughts, false life, ghoul touch, scorching ray, and spectral hand
1st: charm person, chill touch, grease, mage armor, ray of enfeeblement, and shield
0: acid splash, detect magic, light, ray of frost, and touch of fatigue.

Ok my sellings and purchases..

Sell Fullplate +1=1325
Sell Quick Runners Shirt=500
+155+50739=52719 to spend

So Damoc's CL is 7th so he can do up to +2 weapon and armor correct?

If so:
+2 Mithril Fullplate of Comfort and Shadow-15,000
+1 Greatsword to +1 Furious Greatsword-3000

The rest:
+2 Headband of Wisdom-4000
Upgrade Cloak to +3 Resistance-5000
Jingasa of the Fortune Soldier-5000
Bane Baldric-10000
Gloves of Reconnaissance-2000
Feather Step Slippers-2000
Handy Haversack-2000
Rod of Lesser Extend-3000
Elixir of Hiding-250
Snapleaf-750

Scrolls
1st-
Detect Undead(2)-50
Keep Watch(4)-100
Hide from Undead-50

2nd-Knock-150
Silence-150
Tongues-150

Gold Left=69

Ah.. Thx Megan... the mark of a good DM is to let the players 'think outside the box' of the adventure. There are many DM's who would not have let us take the obvious gold Statue as loot.

So.. with the number of Black Onyx known..

That makes our final 4-way split total 51,076gp, 2sp, 5cp - each.

Buying a potion of lesser resto and that leaves me with 106 gp

Do we have a wand of lessor restore?

Group purchase maybe?

Ashe has two scrolls of it.. but I do have enough cash to afford a 750gp wand. It still is not something we could use in combat due to casting time. And IF we decided to cast it out of combat... Ashe has time to prepare it anyways. Its 1st level for a paladin... but also it is only 750gp as a wand for Ashe.

I bought one with my original purchases when i joined you guys.. I gave it to Deriven, but i have recollected it with him leaving.. It has 47/50 charges left... I bought the pot because it doesn't take 3 rounds to use it..

Sorry, work's making some changes and I won't have as much computer access. I'll try to back into a good posting routine.

I still have to shop. I hate shopping. Do any of you guys want to borrow some cash? Please?

You need some help spending? Ill help you shop.. Yall feel free to post over in the recruit thread.. Help me and Varrel narrow down someone.. I like the cleric of desna so far..

Crap. I like Ebon Wings.

Eh his backstory is certainly cooler.. Something about a good ole cleric though makes me wanna lean that way.. A druid can add a bit more offense than a cleric though, just at the loss of channels..

It's up to you - you will have to adventure with the chosen individual.

I would take 2 if you find yourselves torn between a couple of candidates, though.

Ok Damoc ive spent your gold for you, but first off a few things.. You need to be useing your physical enhancement from transmutation.. Your up to a +2 to 1 physical score.. With the belt i bought for you put it too dex.. Second is a question, It seems you are leaning towards more of a melee guy right?

Gear List: Subject to change of coarse..

+2 Mithril Chainshirt-3100 Crafter and has a 10% arcane failure so with your feat still gtg.. +3 Bump to AC..
+2 Ring of Prot-8000 +2 AC bump
+2 Amulet of Nat Armor-8000 +2 AC bump
Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier-5000 +1 AC bump

With your dex going to 16 all this should make your AC 24..

+2 Belt of Str/Con-10000
Make Bow +1, Adaptive-3000
Rod of Lesser Extend-3000
Rod of Lesser Empower-9000
Handy Haversack-2000
Quick Runner's Shirt-1000

=52100 spent

Sell +1 Leather for 555 and use 469 of your at home cash to clear the purchases..

I Really HATE this item... Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier...
Its Sooo cheesy and EVERYONE takes one! No one item should be that universally useful! I'll never use one unless I'm playing a Tien character.

But as a suggestion Graxer have you considered the Rod of Lesser Selective? I think that might be more useful than an Extend rod considering the number of melee fighters we have?

The Jingasa is a nice item, but i wouldnt call it broken.. The lesser selective would be nice.. Maybe dump the empower and have 6k more to spend.. I put that list together quickly so im sure there are some things that would be more optimal.. I suppose he could use that extra 6k to up his belt to a +4str one..

At some point Damco you might wanna consider taking opposition research to get your Enchantment school back.. Herosim is a great spell for gish type characters..

The Jingasa plus Fates Favored Trait+Half orc luck save bonus and a divine caster.

The trait adds +1 to all luck bonuses.
So Divine Favor+1
+2 Luck to ALL saves
+2 AC for helm

Yea i forgot abt fates doubling it..

You DID take Fates right?
That trait is a must have.

Yea i did.. Fates Favored and Glory of Old..

I don't think the other application is gonna show.
Ashe or Damoc can you guys cast a vote so we can sort either Ebon Wings or the cleric of Desna

Well if I must cast for those two.. not that either of them have bad characters but I was really interested in seeing what Nalita Lakatos would bring to the table... but he's not posted or anything.

I'll go for the Cleric of Desna... because I'd STILL like to have a female to balance the party genderwise somewhat better.

However, Megan did say we could pick two...why not admit both? They seem willing to RP and post.. so invite both is my opinion.

A 6 man party is quite alot of actions in combat..

Challenges only get bigger with the further along we go int he AP... just saying...

I'm not playing this AP for the combat.. I'm playing it for the story and the interaction between the characters.. personally.

If everyone wants both than im fine with that..

I am cool with it.

Okay, try 2... (board ate my post)

Hi! I'm Harakani, player of Ebon Wings.

I was going for a Shaman-type build for Ebon Wings, and vacillated between a Witch and a Druid. In the end I was seduced by the druid's reincarnation and spiritual themes... unfortunately it did mean I picked a feat he no longer qualifies for. I said I'd talk rebuild if I got picked, so here I am...

Also, I am happy to talk about what needs to change on the character to fit in with the group. Now that there are two high divine casters I can see we will need to differentiate ourselves a little (we both built characters that fill the same niche) but don't want to jam into someone else's.

I would really like Ebon Wings to be able to see spirits, which to me suggests (in order) See Invisibility, Deathwatch, Arcane Sight and See Alignment.

While theoretically possible to permanency these spells via scroll, this means the character would need an enormous UMD.

Craft Wondrous item would allow such items to be built - not sure if that halves cost.

I really like the idea of it being part of the character, and considering he can come back from the dead the permanency seems like it might be a good way to go.

Craft Wonderous DOES 1/2 price in game and would be a huge cash saver to whole party.

I like the theme and besides being able to spot things, doesn't increase your power at all.

HOWEVER!!

There is a really easy fix that is 100% raw.

Play a Menhir Savant Druid archetype.

They get Spirit Sense
At 1st level, a menhir savant can detect the presence of undead; fey; outsiders; and astral, ethereal, or incorporeal creatures. This ability functions like detect undead, and the druid detects all of these creatures rather than trying to detect one kind. This ability replaces nature sense and wild empathy.

Sounds exactly like the ability you were after.
Check the PFSRD.

Yeah, I was kinda wondering why you hadn't taken the Menhir Savant Archetype? Thought you had your reasons though.

Well maybe for the whole reincarnation bit.

But that can be story fluff.

I would love to, but it isn't compatible with the Reincarnated archetype - they clash on Woodland Stride's swap out (Mysterious Stranger and Place Magic respectively) . Probably wouldn't take that much to convince me to change. Would happily pay a feat to do it.

Don't need to pay a feat. Just rebuild as the other archetype.

Or is there a MECHANIC from the reincarnated druid you have to have?

Your back story doesn't have to change at all.
We are at a level where we can bring you back if you die.

Or why not just permanency True Seeing instead?

Can't permanency True Seeing - it's not on the list.

@Varrel: "Cheat Death". Was sort of the core of the concept. I'd like there to be something that says "Pharasma sends you back to finish the job".
That said, maybe there is another way because Menhir Savant is so tempting.

I take your point that getting a power that is explicitly useful in the event of a TPK is a bit defeatist.

I was looking at [url=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/arg-feats/tenacious-survivor-orc-half-orc]Tenacious Survivor[/ooc]. Requires external healing (which maybe I can get my Nosoi to hand out) but does allow genuine "back from the dead" if necessary.
Means He'd have to have come back in the body of a Half-Orc though, I think. Could get Endurance via a racial feat, then just need to buy Diehard. Add a reskinned Fey Foundling for the Death resistance and bonus healing.
Could change Birthmark to Reincarnated.
If doing that I'm going to need more Con, but seems like a viable build... though if my I'm primarily ranged I'd hope not to take the hit in the first place!

Or, as you said, just treat it as flavour.

The Permanency list is not and end all to what you can do.. Just costs an ass load to do something like true seeing.. Read the last line of the spell..
