Atol's fine chipping in on the fireball scroll.

Yes, we spent two days in Cauldron.

Yeah, I thought we were a bit poor. :D Thanks for a little evening up!

Don't think we need the clairaudience scroll since we have a potion of it and Toffitt's alchemical allocation (making it reusable). I'm not keen on building a lot of our party wealth around consumables, though I tend to use them a lot less than other people (with the exception of the Gray Reek, who was burning up a lot of them a few levels back).

Hmmm. PRD recommends PC wealth of 23,350 at 7th level. Party is at roughly 13,000 each in gold earned. I can probably add another 2,000-4,000 in unsold treasure. This puts party members around 15,000-17,000. Guess there's some room for some drops.

Well, that's one way to fix it.

You could also hit us with a bunch of vampires and whatnot, suck a few levels out of us, and get us down to our wealth range.

Whatever works.

-D

p.s. I believe Dy's wealth is 15300 or so (which includes the headband)...which assumes true value (aka scribe price) of scrolls and his gp.

Toffitt is around 13-14,000 including potions, prior to the 4500 gp.

Treasure kept by Toffitt from this last round

4,000 gp - Belt of Strength +2 (using until he gets Belt of Dex)

A list of Toffitt's purchases during this round:

50 gp - oil of bless weapon
2,200 gp - haversack
4 gp - silvered blunt arrows (20)
2 gp - cold iron arrows

= = = =

On order (or possibly arrived...?)

1,000 gp - boro bead, lvl 1
4,000 gp - Belt of Dexterity +2

He will order another lvl 1 boro bead, and a lvl 2. But not sure how far in advance Skie is willing to take orders, if the cash isn't on hand...

I won't make things longer by debating a day. You can have the boro beads. The other 2 will be put on order.

Thanks!

Hero Lab shows me at almost 32k of value so I'm good and will be skipping loot for a while.

Glim's find chipping in any of his recent gold on party scrolls. Outside of a masterwork composite longbow, he hasn't spent anything yet.

Is a single potion of fly something he could get his little hands on?

Yes.

Divination certainly is easier once you already have a sense of the territory you're entering!

Is that Erinyes likely to appear while we attack the fortress to defend Cauldron?

"That flying tramp that a horse could easily smash if restricted to a 100 yard long field of battle. She sure is."

She's still around!??!?!

#%@#$%!!

@#%!#%#$%!!!!

Finneas shopping list:

20 regular arrows
20 cold iron arrows
20 silver arrows
Enough rations to make it to the Temple and back.

Finneas will also pay to have the red dragon armor prepped for eventual crafting of armor, not sure what that'll cost.

In addition to that any scroll costs Dyrant or Atol incur Finneas will pay his share of, as they benefit him in the long run.

Eventually I need to save up enough to have Holy put on my sword.

I copy the purchases. We'll work out the dragon armor all at once when you have enough.

Atol gets 40 posts of eulogy and I get wrapped in a soggy blanket and strapped to the back of a horse? I feel cheated. :P

Wait. Who said you were getting a blanket? You might be, but not a good one.

Also, "strapped to"?! I think you meant to type "dragged behind".

Geez. You got a big head, Finn! (which is one of the reasons it's hard to strap you to a horse...tough to balance)

:)

Man screw you guys, I'm going to hang out with these dead frog people! Because I'm dead. Like them. Poor Finn. No respect.

Instant replay automatically kicking in for a character death.

Let's see...

Rounds for Atol
1 - Bless
2 - Strength surge (Finneas hit for 34)
3 - CMW (Healed for 17)
Not sure if this attack by Finneas included the bless. If not, it would've hit. AC was 29. Looks like it didn't since your profile lists your raging attack as +11 and that's all you used for this one.
4 - Daylight (Not sure if it just counters darkness, or prevails. Even the best affect would only give kuo-toa a -1 to attacks and none of the hits were that close)
5 - strength surge
6 - pick up pick
7 - strength surge (Finneas dies end of this round)
8 - Prayer spell

At these levels, I won't usually retro things, but I'd make an exception for a character death. In this case, we'd just pick up from here with Finneas miracously alive at -13.

I didn't include the Bless for the whole fight, totally missed that Atol had cast it. I would really like an exception as I love Finneas and want to keep playing him, but totally understand any decision you make. I need to pay more attention to group buffing either way.

Finneas lives. A few more stitches and we could call you Frankenstein.

Dr. Toffitt and his Finneastein monster.

There's a comedy routine in here somewhere.

Sigh. Stupid house was broken into today whilst the wife and I were at work.

Thankfully, the kittens are fine.

We (and the police) believe it was teenager(s) as all they took was the PS3, our PS3 games, large amounts of loose change that I had been collecting, and went through my wife's jewelry.

Still the side door to the house (which I had thought was decently secure) was kicked in and is still pretty messed up.

TheWife is not happy...but we got off pretty lightly.

Anyhoot, grumble.

Sorry to hear that, PL. :-(

BTW, perfect spell for the erinyes: Weapons Against Evil. Pretty sweet.

Glad you guys are safe.

No doubt. Better that it happened while you weren't there. Sucks none the less though. :(

Finneas having a hard time finding some good luck.

And.............hold those thoughts. Headed to Reno Friday & Saturday to compete & coach so I'm going to pause things here before this combat. I'll start it Sunday afternoon/evening.

Maybe we should prep 8th level while you're gone? Hehehe

You sure could 'prep' it. You could 'prep' 9th level, too. And just Toffitt could 'prep' 10th.

Well yes, Toffitt is already prepped for 8th. And 9th. But it'd still take some effort to edit the changes into his actual stats!

What is the difference between an Atol and a rock?

The rock understands.

@ Dyrant.

Unless I'm missing something, which happens frequently, Aralynn has a reach of 0' and will have to enter enemy spaces and provoke to deliver touch spells.

Totally agree. Missed first time, fixed on redux:

Round 2, Init 6 REDUX

Aralynn, oh brave servant of light, moves forward to touch the dragon, delivering a holy shock (provoking).

Congratulations! Welcome to level 8 folks.

Haven't used hero points much, but I do want to have them in play. They seem like good insurance against bad luck.

Each of you gains one at level 8.
Atol had one leftover -- you max at 3.
And, I award one to Finneas for another battle of rushing in, dealing the most damage, incurring the wrath of the big bad guy, and sticking with it.

Level...9?

Apparently the dragon was worth two levels. hehehehe.

What is the mechanic for Hero Points? How can we use them?

Level...9?

It clearly says level 8 above. You must've been hit pretty hard on the head. Atol, well, Atol is Atol.

Cassock of the Clergy: The cut and color of this solemn vestment varies from religion to religion, but its properties are the same. The wearer may command the cassock of the clergy to display the holy symbol of her deity or hide this symbol. At the most basic level, the garment functions as a divine focus. Additionally, the wearer gains a +3 competence bonus on Charisma-based checks to influence creatures that match her alignment or that of her patron deity. Also, the wearer may use bless and sanctuary (DC 11) each once per day, and may prepare one additional orison each day. If the wearer is a spontaneous divine caster, once per day she may spend 1 hour in prayer to gain an orison of her choice as a spell known for the next 24 hours.

And a staff that can summon a CR2 python?

Man, that sucks GM Chris. Ha ha. But it'll mean extra gold, so i'm happy...

Yeah, but Atol is in love with the Cassock. A pearl of power is a better fit for him overall (for the extra bless spell), but the whole idea behind the Cassock is one that Atol loves...

It'd actually be better in Finneas' hands, slightly. But yeah, why would Atol choose something useful...? :-p

It'd be almost impossible to convince Finneas to wear it. Even if he understood how to use it the other Kordites would laugh at him for wearing it.

lol@Finneas. What do Kord priests where, then? Conan loinclothes?

If even.
