The Great (Pathfinder) Society...in Magnimar! (Inactive)

Game Master Eric Swanson

Ah, I wanted to handle a quick RP thing before we went off again.

Oh OK Horven, I will hold off then.

Well, it just requires Andel.

Yamyra's purchases were also going to involve a slight amount of RP. She was going to be visiting Cynosure Tower & purchasing a Wand of Cure Light Wounds was well as counselling with High Priestess Zimatieu about Ganer. In addition, Yamyra had asked Andel a question as well, regarding the Derro.

I'll figure out how to spend my oodles of money after I get to work.

Well, Carmina's shopping can probably be done "off-screen". Unless Magnimar has recently introduced background checks on buyers of tools of arcane destruction. That could complicate the situation a bit. :P

Gared will be purchasing a net for each member of the party (including Fancy), as well as longspears for those who might be convinced to use them, with particular effort to convince Yamyra.

Alright, I'm going to purchase 2 potions of Invisibility, 2 potions of Cure Moderate Wounds, 2 potions of Cure Light Wounds, a bandolier and 50 crossbow bolts for a whopping 1305 gp and 5 sp.

Dammit! This is what happens when I don't keep things up to date! My post in the Journal for the Evening of the Fifth of Pharast, looks like it should be for the evening of the Sixth of Pharast...

Grrr...

Let me know when you are ready to depart for the sewers guys, and I will get things rolling again.

I guess I will unobtrusively insert myself into the scene, heh.

Let me know when you are ready to depart for the sewers guys, and I will get heads rolling again.

Fixed it for you. :D

I'm good to go whenever the rest of us are. :P

Assuming Horven's post earlier is correct & we each have 2264 gold and 14 silver more, Yamyra will toddle down to the Cynosure Tower to purchase a Wand of Cure Light Wounds & ask High Priestess Zimantiu to hold the remainder in trust until she returns; with the understanding that if Yamyra doesn't return in a reasonable amount of time, the remainder is among other things, to take care of her parents once they are too old to provide for themselves, with what is left over to be used for the good of the community.

Damn, that was a run-on sentance & a half...

edit: Assume Yamyra is back & ready to return as soon as everyone else is ready to do so, I still haven't finished updating the Journal to our present point yet, so that is my chief RP focus at the moment. Yamyra/Fancy will be present for the purposes of skill/combat rolls & spells, but both will be obviously introverted for a bit.

second edit: Unless I am wrong, a Wand of Cure Light Wounds will be 750 gold, leaving 1514 gold & 14 silver.

Gared's been a little... high strung lately. This was a good time for him to roll a nat 1 on a perception check.

as far as funds go, I'll do the math soon on Gareds spending, but he is paying the 1000 loaned gp off for the rune stone of power.

1000 gp for paying off the debt
88gp for 11 durable blunt cold iron arrows (
4 gp for 1 durable cold iron arrow

25 gp for 5 long spears (2 small)
100gp for 5 nets (2 small)
1sp for Weapon Cord
60gp for 3 Alchemists fire
160gp for 4 Liquid Ice

150gp for 5 Raining Arrows
100gp for 10 Smoking Arrows
100gp for 5 Tangleshot Arrows
25gp for 5 containers of silver blanch
100gp for 1 container of adamantine blanch

Alright, here's my shopping spree, assuming we had 2264 gold and 14 silver to spend. That should leave 352gp left and 13 sp left. I'll want to double check that, but this looks pretty good for shoring up my equipment.

Gared should be ready to head back into the dungeon.

OK looks like we are ready to go here. I will get a post up soon.

While I can use the spear competently, the net is an exotic weapon. So I may not be far off about throwing it on Gared every so often.

Correct Horven, it is an exotic weapon so you take a -4 penalty to hit with it.

The nice thing about nets is that they target touch ac, which usually helps mitigate the penalty for a reusable non-magical close range entanglement effect.

Also, If we do have an extra wand laying around, Gared would be happy to keep it on his person.

It's yours, sirrah! I came equipped with a fresh one since the recruitment mentioned your need for some serious heals. =P

Thank you, kind sir. *smiles* Equipment list updated. The 100 charges ought to keep us going for quite a while!

I'm waiting to hear on the results of Carridan's fantastic survival check before picking a direction.

Stupid question time. Is it possible to charge on a diagonal?

Sure you may charge on a diagonal. You just pay 5 feet of movement for the first diagonal, then 10 feet for the second diagonal square, for a total of 15 feet of movement for 2 squares of diagonal movement.

I will post an update once Carridan and Carmina have responded.

Also I would need a consensus as to whether you want to ambush them now or simply eavesdrop on them.

I vote for eavesdrop since I get dirty looks when I stab things when others have other plans.

So, what are we all doing right now? Apparently, Yamyra & Fancy have re-wound to being far enough back in the passageway that the sounds of her casting won't carry to the inhabitants of the chamber?

The general consensus is to eavesdrop on the figures you have seen. I will get up a post with those results later this evening.

I'm afraid I woke up feeling like poo this morning. Would you please 'bot' me, DM Eric?

I hope you feel better soon!

Gared won't call anything out as the ambush is successfully occuring and he doesn't need to get their aattention.

I'm almost fully recovered. I will be back in play tomorrow. Thank you all for your patience.

Hey guys, sorry to get to you so late, but I'm currently feverish and non functional. Would you mind botting me for a few rounds? Gared will use blunt arrows to deal non lethal damage until they start dealing damage. Glad you're feeling better, Yamyra.

It's a revolving door of sickness! Keep away!

Seriously, hope you feel better soon, Gared.

Alright, thanks guys, I'm feeling much better now and ought to be fully recovered soon! I'm happy to take Gared back over.

Of course, if they have more than four hit dice, it would have the same effect...

I thought the staircase was going down? How is it providing cover? Or is the derro just trying to get to the staircase to get away from us?

The staircase has a low wall surrounding it, but it is only a couple of feet high or so, which is considered a Low Obstacle (providing Partial cover).

From the PRD:

Low Obstacles and Cover: A low obstacle (such as a wall no higher than half your height) provides cover, but only to creatures within 30 feet (6 squares) of it. The attacker can ignore the cover if he's closer to the obstacle than his target...Think of it as an act of desperation looking for any edge he can get. He could make it to the staircase opening next round however.

Ah. That makes more sense.

Updated the map to show Carridan on it.

Realistically, it makes no sense that something as much bigger than the Derro as Fancy is right now should be better at tying them up, but her CMB at the moment is +9...

Carridan, are you talking about the door immediately North of the Spiral Staircase?

I believe so? I can't reference the map at work, so I just repeated DM Eric's description of one of the routes where I found tracks. =P

Damn, I *thought* I made a post the other day, but it looks like my phone ate it. Gared can (and did on that deleted post) make a knowledge dungeoneering check untrained.

How can he make a knowledge check untrained?

The Breadth of Experience feat Gared took at 3rd level.

Gared is right here Yamyra. He has done that before as I recall. Go ahead and check the spoiler out and we can retcon it if need be.

Ah, that makes sense. I keep forgetting you have that.

We can just have Gared have burst of inspiration suddenly after this combat, assuming *I* don't forget in the meanwhile.

If you don't pipe up, I'll remind you, I promise.
