Oh I would definitely worry about beach connectivity, usually it is so far from the router! And the sand in the computer? You are better off to stay inside so you can meet your online obligations. ;p

Why don't we take it slow so that Karethas can prep whatever spells he wants for the fight it both you and he are gone for a few days. I do not think going into what is likely the BBEG of the module is a good idea unprepared.

Kzrira- are you talking about the 40 cold iron arrows Garavel brought back for you or something else? Yes, you have the arrows you requested from Garavel. and that ought to more than cover anything you might meet any time soon.
Karethas- you find that with Zataran's assistance you can reconstitute 2 bless potions and a potion of clairvoyance and see invisibility from the dried remnants.
The gems are quite powerful and unique... (to follow)

Not sure what Amir is talking about as Faelar identified them as undead skeletons and his mace was more effective than his blade. Kzrira just does enough damage to still be pretty effective despite the DR.
BTW I'm not drinking the kool-aid on blunt arrows doing the same damage as broadhead. I'll say they bypass non-bludg DR, but only do 1-2 damage.
Amir Awad Hajjir |
But the kool-aid is delicious!
I think I missed Faelar's confirmation of their undead status. For some reason it stuck in my brain that they "looked" one way but were actually just fire constructs. Sorry for the confusion.

Hmmm, you ever stood in front of a chunk of lead travelling at say 200mph (I think this is 300fps which is the average speed of a compound bow from what I can tell). Nonetheless, since I will use them only against DR5/Bludgeoning, 1d2 is better that 1d8-5 87.5% of the time.

You can always bring him back and let Auri and his friend Rocky beat on the guy while I shoot at skeletons trying to beat up our mage and academic, er, I mean bard.
Sorry that I pointed that out. I went back to see if I had caught him flat footed, but the crit was on round 2, so I figured I should mention it.

Yeah, well I was just about to unleash my barrage of Magic Missiles!! Pew Pew!! I think the whole thing would have been much more difficult if we didn't have all the fire resistance. I figured that the bbeg would have some elemental spells, but didn't figure it would help so much with the earlier minions too.

of course, Kzrira softened him up quite a bit. I didn't expect Kzrira to make the save yet alone crit him. A 3x crit can ruin your day even with minor DR.
Not sure exactly what his DR is, but don't forget that my Bow is +1, so all the arrows are considered magic (+1) for the purpose of overcoming DR. So far my brain trust has not informed me that I need cold iron or blunt or silver or good or something else to overcome his DR.

Sorry for my absence, Festivities had me on the road and then had a world of comp problems and a water main explode out on the main street after my driveway, craziness!

I'm not certain if Faelar was still planning on going for that dervish feat. Amir ought to just hold onto it for now though I imagine he has some attachment to his shortsword.
The BP may be too heavy for everyone, but I figured you can sell it for gear. On that note, Kzrira should note that the max dex bonus for breastplate is +3. Agile only helps climb and jump checks. I just noticed that the other day.

Don't forget I am a level 3 fighter. I get +1 to the max dex from Armor Training.

I assumed that once things calmed down, we would get some down time to go/send to Katapesh to sell/buy items and other bookkeeping. I for one wanted some downtime to learn some more spells.
Amir Awad Hajjir |
He is attached to the sword, I mean to be perfectly honest if I could melt down a magic weapon and have the sword imbued I would go that route but some GMs are more willing to do that than others. *looks at Voodoo questioningly*
Shifty |
So the technical questions:
What loot have we got to sell off?
How are we then splitting the proceeds, have we all got roughly equal portions? I suspect we might be a bit skewed as the loot has been in a few fixed items rather than ready saleables...
So far I have picked up a +1 ring (but no coin), hows the others looking?
Kzrira Maiwith |
Karethas needs to identify the items we found.
We have:
My +1 Breastplate(agile) - 1000+base value
+2 Breastplate(light fortification) - 9000+more as it is gold I think
+1 Scimitar +1 (flaming) - 8000 <-- nice weapon, but since my guess is that we are going to be fighting a lot of fire monsters, perhaps better sold if Faelar does not want it (he needs 2 feats (weapon prof(scimitar) and Dervish Dance) to really use it effectively.
Unidentified - Karethas/Faelar to identify
Strand of prayer beads,
Necklace of brass spheres
A Ring
A Belt
I do not know what else we have. We don't really seem to have named a person to keep track of this stuff.
I will keep the +1 Breastplate right now as I do not think that the extra +1 for the +2 breastplate is worth it and we could probably use the cash. Eventually I will need to go either Mithral Breastplate or Celestial Armor if I decide to go the Arcane Archer route, but that is not for a few levels.
Will have to see what the other stuff is before we make any decisions. I will try to back through DM VooDoo's posts to see what else we got from the shrine, the temple, and elsewhere that has not been sold. If someone else has been keeping track of this, it would be helpful.
Kzrira Maiwith |
Can we assume that Karethas or Faelar takes 20 on identifying the items we found? Or wait and do that after we finish (hopefully not get finished by) the ghost.
Aurichalcum |
LOL ...and maybe our GM is feeling indulgent enough to give us an inventory of the items found at 'the shrine, the temple, and elsewhere that has not been sold'. COuld be a bit quicker than having someone go back through and make accounts... plus I think Tempest and the funky Bracers we found might have an odd GP value.
Think we might need to keep a better handle on it going forwards though :p
Sheik Voodoo |
And that wraps up book 1.
The new items are identified as:
Strand of prayer beads- lesser strand (blessing and healing beads)
Necklace of brass spheres- Necklace of fireballs (III)
A Ring- Ring of improved climbing
A Belt- Belt of Giant Strength +2
as for past treasure- though i'm not strictly following the book as written, I think i mostly stayed with the treasure listed. my philosophy is that the players need to account for treasure, the GM has enough to do without bookkeeping for players as well. if it's forgotten so be it.
that said, i'll take a look.
btw, Amir values the golden armor at 10,000 gp once it is cleaned up.

Monastery-
+1 small warhammer
Ring feather fall- Faelar?
Gold bowl- 100 gp, rough gem- 150 gp
Giant vulture eggs (now rotten)
Chime of opening- Amir

I think Karethas has recorded everything since the Battle Market well enough.
