Top of page also screws up the RSS feeds....

RIP Dean, Emanual and Luc....Doesn't look good for any of them, but maybe someone survived the blast :)

I fully expect a statue of the 3 heroes in Sandpoint town square ... or at least a Ninian Beard Memorial Chair among the faculty at the Academy.

I suppose we could leave it a mystery just in case.

That's the plan ;)

Everyone's new characters read?

I put in a short intro post.

"I say, gents! That turned out rather better than I expected! Has anyone seen my ear?"

Only Wits, man, only Wits. I just died on this one. I'm still laughing. Funny, funny stuff.

What the heck is wrong with the boards? I don't see Raynard's post either, except for where Joana "replied" to it.

Wits is coughing up various bits of the tanglefoot substance and looking for his left ear, which sadly, seems to be missing. He'll then begin a body count and try to see who and what survived the initial blast. (If anyone didn't, he may harvest small pieces of their body for further testing, if no one is watching...)

Why am I envisioning some sort of horrible hybrid Dean-Emanuel-Luc monster, with the left ear of a gnome?

By the way, love the "season finale" cliffhanger there, Nevynxxx. That was pretty cool.

Next week my wife and I are finally heading out for our honeymoon, about three years in the waiting. After Sunday I won't be able to post until at least next Saturday.

No problem. Have yourself a really good time!

Enjoy, Kratzee! Stinks you had to wait so long but hey, better late than never! :)

Sorry for the delay folks. I've been struggling with how much to just give you of this, and how much to let you roleplay out. I figured I'd just move it along, but then haven't had a decent time to frame the post.

Okay, so from the Wiki, I have the following items we've found. How many of them do we still have?

20gp, composite shortbow (+1 Strength), ring of protection +1, masterwork thieves’ tools, masterwork flute, silver earrings (25 gp for the pair), journal,6 pouches of gold dust worth 50gp each, 8 pouches of silver dust worth 5 gp each, 10pp, Scroll (Unidentified as yet), +1 longsword, masterwork handaxe, silver dagger, Holy book of Lamashtu, Scroll of Burning Hands, and Iron Wand (Unidentified as yet)

Edit: if we have time, I can whip up two extracts of Identify and use them on the Iron Wand and Scroll of BLANK.

As far as I'm aware, you still have all of them.

I hate to jump in and try to claim the magic sword right away with a brand new PC, but that +1 longsword would probably be best in his hands. I would donate Adon's masterwork longsword to the party fund of course.

Also, it is going to be a fun trip with two mischievous gnomes on the team :D

Almost forgot our paladin needs hit points 1d10 ⇒ 7

Edit: Message from the Inspecter

Are we assuming that unwanted gear can be sold for half price?

Jerjia can take a go at those unidentified items before we use resources on them. Spellcraft (iron wand) 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 Spellcraft (scroll) 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Witz, absolutely.

Jerjia can take a go at those unidentified items before we use resources on them. Spellcraft (iron wand) 21 Spellcraft (scroll) 23

Scroll from Cells is a scroll of flaming sphere (CL 5th).

Wand from meditation Chamber is a wand of shocking grasp, further, it appears to contain 28 charges.

OKay, so we have the following objects:

composite shortbow (+1 Strength)
ring of protection +1
masterwork thieves’ tools
masterwork flute
silver earrings (25 gp for the pair)
journal
Scroll (Flaming Sphere, 5th level),
+1 longsword (Adon wants)
masterwork handaxe
silver dagger
Holy book of Lamashtu (Wits wants)
Scroll of Burning Hands
Iron Wand (Shocking GRasp, 28 charges)

and

6 pouches of gold dust worth 50gp each
8 pouches of silver dust worth 5 gp each
20 gp
10 pp

Is there any of the above that a specific person wants? Let's go ahead and divvy this up now and then turn whatever is left into gold and see what we have. I don't think Wits is going to be able to use many of the magic items, so I might take a cut of the gold to buy him a portable alchemist lab or somesuch...

If I take the +1 sword, you can add a masterwork longsword to that list.

Also, the masterwork handaxe might be good for Reynard to use, since it is a good finesse-able back-up weapon to his crossbow.

Hell, to keep in flavor with the game, Nevynxxx, could that composite shortbow actually be a masterwork crossbow for Reynard to use?

"Ooo, sparky...."

Jerjia would like the wand. :) Does Wits want to upgrade his thieves' tools to the masterwork set?

The handaxe does make a great backup so Reynard would take it.

OKay, so we have the following objects:

composite shortbow (+1 Strength)
ring of protection +1
masterwork thieves’ tools (Wits wants)
masterwork flute
silver earrings (25 gp for the pair)

+1 longsword (Adon wants)

Masterword Longsword

and

6 pouches of gold dust worth 50gp each
8 pouches of silver dust worth 5 gp each
20 gp
10 pp

Okay, so updated list. Anyone need a Ring of Protection +1?

Anyone need a Ring of Protection +1?

In the sense that I don't have one, sure. Probably ought to go to someone likely to be up front in melee, though.

Adon is the most "up-front" person in the group, but his saves are pretty good considering being a Paladin.

Ring of Prot +1 adds a +1 deflection bonus to AC. If you're going to be up front, you probably should take it.

Doh! I was thinking of a Cloak of Protection. I'll take it everyone thinks I should, but I don't know if its fair for me to get two thirds of the magic items. Especially since I have "wealth by level" worth of equipment.

Also, are all the players going to be at 2790 XP?

True. I propose Reynard take it, then. Since he'll probably be up front a bit, too, and that will give you both a magical item.

EDIT:
composite shortbow (+1 Strength) (75 gp)
ring of protection +1 (Reynard gets)
masterwork thieves’ tools (Wits wants)
masterwork flute (50 gp)
silver earrings (25 gp for the pair)
journal
Scroll (Flaming Sphere, 5th level) (125 gp)
+1 longsword (Adon wants)
masterwork handaxe (Reynard wants)
silver dagger (Wits will take, if no one else claims it)
Holy book of Lamashtu (Wits wants)
Scroll of Burning Hands (12.5 gp)
Iron Wand (Shocking GRasp, 28 charges)(jerjia wants
Masterword Longsword (157.5 gp)

and

6 pouches of gold dust worth 50gp each
8 pouches of silver dust worth 5 gp each
20 gp
10 pp

The amount in parentheses is the amount we'd get if we sold them. I count a total haul of 905 gp if we sell all the things in parentheses. Any more takers before we sell them?

Makes sense, with the new line up I'll be in the mix more.

Nope. I'm good.

Also need to roll for hp's.

Hit points: 1d10 ⇒ 2

Hey Reynard, shouldn't you be level 2 now? Also, do you want to use some of the common pot to get a masterwork crossbow or special ammunition?

I'm thinking Wits needs a Portable Alchemist Lab, for the pyro on the go! Other than that, he may be planning on keeping the silver earrings and putting them both in his good ear, but he's not saying that out loud yet...

you're right, need to level up. and yeah, masterwork would be a good idea

Isn't gold dust good for tossing into constructs and jamming their works? Or have I watched too many old-school Cybermen episodes?

Treat the MW shortbow as a mw light crossbow seems fair enough to me.

And yes, Joana, it probably would be, but I'd say it's also probably worth a fair bit more than that!

Leveled up, going with Skirmisher variant and crossbow weapon style. WILL TAKE THE CASH FROM SELLING INSTEAD OG MAKING THE SHORTBOW A LIGHT CROSSBOW.

Reynard will spend the cash to get a masterwork heavy crossbow (repeating if I can afford it)

Okay, we have 880 gp. I'd like 75 gp to get a Portable Alchemist's Lab, which leaves 805 gp for you to buy your MW heavy repeating crossbow for 700 gp. If you have 15 gp more, you can make it a Darkwood MW Heavy Repeating Crossbow... And name it Timmy the Merciless.

Just so happens I have 17g. But I think I'll call her Mercy.

1d10 ⇒ 3 level 2 hp.

Crap, makes sense, explosion messed him up a bit

Hey, Reynard, good news :)

When rolling hit points, any roll of less than half the dice value, gets rounded up to half.

Awesome, forgot that. Thanks.

She'll always be Timmy to me...

Hey Nevynxxx, the Gunslinger playtest Round 2 is out. It's all kinda crazy changed. Mind if I do some overhauling on Casey?

I haven't had chance to look over the second playtest yet, but yes, go for it!

Oh, consider guns to be "Everywhere" ;)

Was wondering about that to, thanks.

No worries, Nevynxxx.

And also, bump, just for fun.

You should all have some emails from OP, I've just been doing some updating, and house keeping.

Oh, and for the sake of 10XP, call yourselves level three before we continue....
