Glad you are sticking with us - although considering the company, you might want to have your sanity checked. The goal is to get to the end of this. This is by far my oldest game, and I want to keep it that way.
Sheik Voodoo |
AMIR!
You are a glutton for punishment, sir. Considering Amir's just TERRIBLE history with the dice : )
Don't stress about taking time as you need it. You're always welcome to continue as you can. I can bot as needed. Just glad you're in for the long haul. AND we're heading into the FINAL STRETCH!
First AP I'll actually finish (more or less). I was in a group that got through Shackled City, but I was away for about a third of it.
btw. I think I lost track of XP and it's about time to level up. No rush, but I'm sure y'all will appreciate another level!
Varkata Steeleye |
Glad to hear you're sticking with us, Amir.
And, Voodoo, I'll certainly take a level.
Karethas ibn Faradin |
HP: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 (Toughness) Sigh! I blame Amir.
Spells: Teleportation
Wall of Stone
Skills:
+3 Fly
+1 Knowledge: Arcana, Knowledge: Planes, Perception, Spell Craft, Use Magic Device
Feat: Arcane Discovery (Opposition Research: Abjuration) Yay for overcoming a weakness from my character history! :-P to those stuffy college professors!
Karethas ibn Faradin |
BTW, I suggest that everyone take some points in the Fly skill. It becomes increasingly important at higher levels and more so with the rules VooDoo is using.
Kzrira Maiwith |
Arcane Archer 1 --> +1 BAB, +1 Fort, +1 Ref, Enhanced Arrows(magic)
HP: 1d10 ⇒ 9
Skills:
+2 Fly
+1 Handle Animal
+1 Linguistics (Ignan)
+1 Perception
+1 Stealth
+1 Ride
Feat: Snap Shot <-- should probably take point blank master, but this will allow for flanking with Amir
Kzrira Maiwith |
Voodoo - would you at some point allow retraining? It is likely that we will not have time, but if we do, I would be interested in retraining the Ranger level - either retraining it to Fighter or Arcane Archer. In the alternative, she could retrain the favored enemy, although Kzrira REALLY does not like gnolls, so this would be a little strange.
Retraining the Ranger to AA would get her elemental arrows next level, which would probably be appropriate with all we have gone through.
Amir Awad Hajjir |
MMhhmmm rogue or fighter....
Oh right. FIGHTER!
Reliable strike! At 5th level, a weapon master may reroll an attack roll, critical hit confirmation roll, miss chance check, or damage roll as an immediate action. He must accept the second roll even if it is worse. He can use this ability once per day at 5th level, plus one additional time per day for every five levels beyond 5th.
YA know, because I roll so great...:p
HP: 1d10 ⇒ 9
+1 BAB
Skills:
Stealth
Perception
Acro
Disable Device
Bluff
Weapon Specialization
Not my FC so...boo to that.
Varkata Steeleye |
Cleric 8:
+1 BAB;
+1 Fort, + 1 Will
Spell Memorization: +1 3rd; +1 4th
Skills:
+1 Fly, +1 Perception; +1 FC: Heal
New Domain Powers:
Might of the Gods (Su): At 8th level, you can add your cleric level as an enhancement bonus to your Strength score for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. This bonus only applies on Strength checks and Strength-based skill checks. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Dimensional Hop (Sp): At 8th level, you can teleport up to 10 feet per cleric level per day as a move action. This teleportation must be used in 5-foot increments and such movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. You must have line of sight to your destination to use this ability. You can bring other willing creatures with you, but you must expend an equal amount of distance for each creature brought.
Not sure about the feat yet, but extra rage is a leading contender.
Varkata Steeleye |
Extra rage it is..
Varkata Steeleye |
If something of us are heading back to Katapesh (I figure, given the Div, I'd recommend not going alone), we can sell the gear we picked up and, at the very least, pick up a new healing wand or two.
Amir Awad Hajjir |
I wanna take a look and see are there minor items that might aid in some of these fights. Obviously we are highly unlikely to find things past a certain level of power just sitting on the street.
Karethas ibn Faradin |
In an out of the way spot of Karethas' family estate is the arrival location. I figured it would count as very familiar. Karethas would follow Amir's advice about where to obtain the spells, but maybe the college if they offer that to non-students or faculty.
It seems like the rest of the party kinda drops off when there is planning to do :-P.
Varkata Steeleye |
Just didn't think I was part of the teleport team -- would recommended doing some shopping from the clerics at the Vault -- (for our CLW wands, at the very least).
While Varkata would rather trying to buy healing gear from the tavern, there's no guarantee they'd have wands or other goodies) available and I imagine we'd get some goodwill for the Oasis.
Karethas ibn Faradin |
I thought we were all going, but splitting into to teams once we got there because Karethas need to get his spells and then spend time putting them in his spell book.
Kzrira Maiwith |
I am also traveling. Will be able to post some, but not a lot.
Kzrira will restock on the usual, silvered, cold iron, adamantine, blunt, etc arrows.
She will buy arrows, but ammo is really expensive as I recall.
It will cost 8000, but if we have the cash, she would buy 25 Outsider(fire) Bane, and 25 Outsider(evil) Bane arrows.
Sheik Voodoo |
Greetings! I'm back. I hope everyone had a good TG.
Karethas can bring along three so everyone can go along if they like. I wasn't sure if Varkata was implying that she would like to stay back to guard the monastery. Def Karethas and Amir should go and it sounded like Kzrira wanted to tag along as well.
Varkata Steeleye |
Figured (incorrectly) Karethas' carrying limit would preclude us all going -- and tactically thought it was wise that one or two of us remain here in case the Gnolls come back
Karethas ibn Faradin |
Sorry, I wanted to do this several days ago, but I didn't have the time to sit down and look it all up.
Here's my tally of loot (probably incomplete because I am bad at this):
x2 +1 Shortbow (Amir claimed one) 2335
x2 +1 Leather Armor 1160
x2 +1 Scimitars 2165
+2 Body Wrap of Mighty Strikes (I assume no one wants these) 6000
1000gp in assorted ornamentation
Belt of +4 strength (Varkata claimed) 8000
Unholy amulet- +2 Nat Armor 8000
Full plate-masterwork 750
+2 Greataxe 4160
Gnoll troops payroll?
Total without unholy amulet 25,570 gp
Divided four ways 6392.5 gp
Karethas will loan Varkata 1607.5 to keep the belt if she needed it. (let me know)
Amir's cut is 5,225 gp if he wants to keep the shortbow.
Karethas will donate 750gp for the CLW wand.
Question for Voodoo: What was the amount of the gnoll troop payroll? I couldn't find it.
Question for party: Do we want to sell the unholy amulet? Karethas would lean no fairly strongly, but would give in to the rest of the party.
Kzrira Maiwith |
Considering the value, Kzrira will take the +2 Greataxe. In the unlikely event she needs to go into melee, might as well do some real damage.
With the 6,000 share, I am not sure what else she can buy that would really upgrade her, unless someone else has an idea. The other option is obviously a small stash of outsider(evil) and outsider(fire) bane arrows. She does not need 50 of each, but 10 or 15 might be useful for key fights.
Varkata Steeleye |
Assuming Varkata can sell her +2 belt for its normal (half) value, she won't need the loan.
Also: Kzrira might like Bracers of Falcon's Aim if she's not got them -- constant Aspect of Falcon (so +1 to hit and increased critical range).
Kzrira Maiwith |
Yeh, you will notice that I do not have that spell, or a wand with Falcon's Aim. VooDoo decided that it was one of those unbalancing spells (about 4 years ago). Can't disagree, but I would willingly take them if I get the thumbs up.
Amir Awad Hajjir |
Uh oh. Why is the mask odd? Its cheap (relatively) and helps me feint? I'm experiencing a lack of confidence in the request, lol.

No, it's good. Just weird fluff with the stone face thing- too literal? I looked it up and it's an Oread item. maybe Amir could pose as the littlest shaitan...
If you like, we can re-skin it as the Scarf of the Inscrutable Sphinx. A large square of yellow silk painted with the image of a mysterious gynosphinx accented with gold thread. When tied bandana-like over your lower face you gain the same benefits as the stony masky thing.
Karethas ibn Faradin |
Ok. 6392.5gp +10%=7031.75 +270.25(1/4 gnoll payroll)= 7,302gp
7320
-6,875 Spells
-2500 Ring of Sustenance
-750 wand clw
= -3300 from my existing gold
Varkata Steeleye |
Might be worth picking up a free clerical scrolls in addition to the potions Amir suggested
Kzrira Maiwith |
Kzrira has 2500 if someone needs to borrow something. Especially since Kzrira is most likely the one that will need the healing scroll (past dying experience).
Varkata Steeleye |
I'll take the 820 from anyone. I'm an equal opportunity leech when it comes to life-saving scrolls.
Varkata Steeleye |
I think so? I mean, probably not, but we can't wait for the bad guys to die of old age.
Karethas ibn Faradin |
Is the idea we are teleporting close to the cave or are they flying us? That will effect my spells, but ready otherwise.
Amir Awad Hajjir |
Dah, ready

Varkata Steeleye |
Anyone have any particular requests for spells, or shall I take the standard battle loadout?
Karethas ibn Faradin |
Did we end up going with the Endure Elements at first? Because this looks like a good place to break out the Resist Energy.

Endure Elements wasn't actually necessary. Varkata is immune, Karethas has Resist 20, Amir's amulet is R5, I think, and Kzrira has the amulet which happens to be currently glowing white, not red...
