Stirrings in the Deep

Game Master Zesdead

I don't have proficiency with it, and I'd rather use my mindblades. That is, if it was ever offered to me.

I'm going to consider Murassa's vote as a 'TRADE' for the pistol. (then again since he is at GM's target WBL, maybe it doesn't matter so much :) )

I'm also voting for 'TRADE'. It is a neat item, but Grayface would be better served by trading it for some magical enhancement to arms/armor.

GM is stating it is valuable indeed, so we might be able to get several enchantments out of its trade value.

Ea, Yas, Rall - thoughts?

...oh, outside of Numeria and with no Gunslingers wandering around... It's surely got to be trade!!! But who to? who to? Hmmmmm

GM Zed Rascal

i vote trade also

Okay, so where are you folks headed?

Rallos,
You're handing Gray a cold iron longsword? Did I order that or did you?

Either way, I want to ask the GM a favor -- can we handwave this transaction and pretend that we ordered a cold iron Bastard Sword instead? This would serve two purposes for me: it would give me my "back up" sword and give me a cold iron alternative at the same time.

i ordered it...it was before you took WF bastard sword

Is it weird that when I end up meet someone I don't like, I really want to tell them, "I can kill you with my mind." like River Tam in Firefly?

Awwww, what's not to like about Abernard Royst?!?!? Just 'cause he's just being a bit of a hard-ass about those maps!!!! Please don't crush him with your mind!

Rallos,
Thank you kindly for the sword, it was very kind.

Zed,
Nasty GM is very fair and generous; I will certainly take you up on the offer to have the longsword reforged as a bastard sword. How much will that cost me?

Gratis...

GM Zed, will there be any cost associated with my cold-iron sword-swap?

For my purse's sake I'd like to return the spare bastard sword I bought, as the new cold-iron one will be just fine as a backup weapon.

Can I return the sword for full price, or will there be a refund tax?

Grayface - No cost associated with sword swap (cold iron reforge from longsword to bastard sword) and you can just return the first sword as a full-Refund swap...

Thanks Zed. Nice and clean.

As Murassa is at the correct WBL, the 10k can be split among the 4 of us at 2500 gp value each.

I am strongly leaning toward a Keen enchantment for my blade. I'll post again later with my final request.

GM Zed - Does Abernard have any trinkets available? Can he craft wondrous items?

since i have the rapier anf chain shirt, i am happy with you guys getting the lion share of the loot...maybe a cloak of resistance +1 if those still exist...unsure about the new magic rules. you three can split the rest

Cloaks of resistance no longer exist - you've already got an auto bonus to Ref, Fort and Will!!! Find something more fun to wear instead ;)

i thought they got the kibosh

Thanks. I'll try to find something to use this money on-or do we get more money later?

This is probably the largest chunk of money you'll get for a bit (I'm using it as a bit of a bridge to get your wealth closer to WBL predictions).

Grayface - wondrous items are also available... If he doesn't craft them on request, he may well just have the thing you need in a bag of holding somewhere!!!

Or, you know, you could just get the bag of holding

A Bag o' Holding would be awesome indeed.

Well, I can't seem to find anything particularly useful for the remaining 500 gp leftover after spending 2000gp on a weapon enchantment.

I have decided that I want my bastard sword to be enchanted with Keen. I'm donating 500 gp toward something for the group as a whole - maybe a wand of some sort, or a nifty wondrous item (like a bag of holding!) that we can all benefit from.

What do you guys think?

That works for me!

I'm not sure what would be useful - maybe just a bunch of scrolls with useful spells? Is there a good wand people would find helpful?

I like the idea of a bundle of useful scrolls to keep on backup, and I like the idea of a party-bag of holding.

Yasmin/Ea, would either of you like to volunteer a list of 'helpful spells' that your class could utilize while down there? We can then size them up against the value of storage.

I could go either way; I think they're both great ideas.

one thing for you Gray would be to get a bludgeoning weapon for undead...just in case

I have a flail for back-up.

But honestly with my to-hit and to-damage feats/class features with my bastard sword(s), my average damage and greater chance to hit makes it a better usage of my action to just go with my bastard sword against a foe with DR.

i reckon you're right....just thinking though

Someday I'll come up with a list of good utility scrolls. But to keep things moving, does Royst take store credit? :)

Folks, I don't know about you... But I am rather keen to get you back exploring in the Spire so, once you have finished with Signifier Hast - I think that you have the following things to do...

Overnight Stay to recuperate...

Collect items from Royst - any idea of what yet? I think the only thing we have thus far is 'Keen' for Grayface's blade?

Cure Grayface's blindness

Collect some Junk for the Troglodyte's strange god....

...if that is all, once you are done, I can write a single post covering all that and get you back on the road....

i leave the rest of the loot splitting to the others....although if i can suggest scrolls and maybe a wand or two. a bag of holding is an idea or maybe get Ea's weapon enchanted.....undead bane perhaps?

Agreed, Zed.

RE: Royst, my vote for the bag of holding, but I'd be okay with some situationally good scrolls too. As I'm not a spellcaster I'll leave it up to Ea/Yas/Murassa to come up with some good ideas for scrolls.

Unfortunately, I've never really used scrolls in any of my home games, so I probably wouldn't have any good input when it comes to selections.

Off the top of my head, here are a few -

-Restoration (lesser or the level 4 version)
-Stone to Flesh (Medusa anti-venom!)
-Comprehend Languages (always handy)
-Obscuring Mist (good to block ranged attacks and/or for a getaway)
-Knock (maybe not that important since we have a rogue)
-Stone Shape (many, many awesome applications for dungeon delving)

Also - Maybe another CLW wand for good measure. It'll keep up our momentum by not requiring so much of Ea's resources.

Yes, let's keep going! We can deal with the loot some other time.

Comprehend langage is one of my two domain spells, but maybe a scroll could be good.

I think an undead bane weapon is too costly.(equals a +2 weapon, so 8000 GP)

here are my suggestions (750 gp wands, CL1 Cleric spells)
Wand of Shield of Faith
Wand of CLW
Wand of Bless

So… what I’m thinking for the stuff from Royst is:

• Keen Enchantment to Grayface’s Bastard Sword
  
• Bag of Holding (Type I)
  
• Ring of Sustenance for Yasmin
  
• Wand of Cure Light Wounds – CL1

…are you folks wrapping up your discussion with Hast?

I have nothing more to say to Hast.

GM - thank you for your wrap-up suggestion for our loot situation. Do you think we can squeeze out one or two more wands out of Royst? I like Ea's idea of a wand of bless and/or shield of faith.

Keen = 2k
Bag = 2.5k
Ring = 2.5k
CLW Wand = 750

total = 7750 gp

2 more wands (Shield of Faith and Bless) would be 1500, pushing the total to 9250, which is still under the 10k mark for the pistol value you afforded us. (unless I misunderstood)

Royst won't have those wands - they're more the kind of thing you'll get from the Abadar church (High Mother Dremagne)...

...but yeah, you can look for another 2k's worth of things...

Ea - that's your cue!

...another item which Royst may have is Spectacles of Understanding...

...interested? If so, that'll be it from Royst for the Arc Pistol...

What do the specs do?

When worn, these innocent-looking spectacles convert any written language to one known by the wearer, as the comprehend languages spell. The glasses are also good at detecting falsified documents, granting their wearer a +5 bonus to Linguistics checks to identify forgeries and the ability make such checks untrained.

Those would probably come in handy at some point.

Those spectacles would be a good addition to our collection. a few potions of CMW/CLW, a potion of enlarge beatstick for Gray and maybe one of restoration or lesser would be good i think.

Hm, if you don't mind me taking up more than my share, I am interested in a Lesser Metamagic Rod of Piercing, for 3,000 gp. I can only think that spell resistant creatures will be coming soon. I would rather have that than a ring of sustenance.

I don't see a problem with that at all. So that makes:

Keen = 2k
Bag = 2.5k
Rod = 3k
CLW Wand = 750*
Bless Wand = 750*
Shield of Faith Wand = 750*

total = 9750 gp
(***assuming we can acquire these from the High Mother.)

How does that sound to everyone?

Good to me.

looks smurfy to me...

Ok then, let's smurf on over to the High Mother and smurf up a conversation!
