Sounds reasonable, although I'd rather see her sent back to town to do something (so we won't feel we have to go rescue her). I think between Vug's Disable Device and the other spellcasters' Detect Magic, we should be able to make do.
Did we lose Vulcan?
Sorry
Been swamped last few days, I work 10hr days and go to college online, plus family issues.
Everything's calmed down now and I have 3 days off so will get back in the thick of it.
Just for the record, I will not be replacing Chisora. I find you're quite adequately balanced as is and it saves me the hassle of advancing the monsters.
By the way, I just have to say that I'm really enjoying this game. It's moving along smoothly and everyone seems to be having fun. And we haven't had much turnover either, other than Chisora and Rhiannon (R.I.P.).
So thanks, everyone, and happy holidays!
Yeah, thank you, guys. It's a pleasure gaming with you, and I appreciate your patience with me.
I've been going through a rough patch lately, but I'm going to make a concerted effort to keep the game rolling and hopefully picking up the pace a little.
Happy holidays to everyone!
Valgrim takes a level in barbarian and spends the 3 hero points to have 2 rolls for HPs:
4th level ability point goes into Dexterity, making it a 14.
4 skill points: Acrobatics, Knowledge (Religion), Perception, and Stealth
Class abilities:
Uncanny Dodge
Rage Power: Animal Fury
Taking fourth level of cleric. Rolling for hit points:
4th level ability point goes into Strength, making it a 14.
Feres is levelled up.
Hit point roll for Vug (now an Alchemist 4):
I`ve finished updating Vug. I chose the Infusion discovery (other PCs can use her formulas now).
OK, this is me waxing sentimental again and wanting to express how much I appreciate gaming with you guys. Don't switch channel; it will be over in a minute. :)
I'm off to London tomorrow so I can't post anything during the weekend, but I hope that you have had the opportunity to level up and get some shiny new equipment so we can go kick some Norgorber butt next week.
I thought we should finish the treasure-selling portion here in the OOC thread.
1 MW Composite Longbow (mighty +2) (300 gp)
Feres' Chain Shirt (50 gp)
+1 Banded Mail (700 gp)
MW battleaxe (155 gp)
Two masterwork daggers (302 gp total)
2393 gp in cash and jewelry
+1 Short sword (found in Cairn) (1155 gp)
Selling the above and dividing by 5: 1011 gp each
Rest of Treasure division:
5 tanglefoot bags (Vug and whomever else)
5 Cure Light Wounds potions (1 each)
1 masterwork composite longbow (mighty +2) (Vug?)
Potion of Remove Fear (x2) (Valgrim and Feres should take 1)
Magical brooch
Magic rope
1 masterwork composite longbow (mighty +2) (Vug?)
Vug showed remarkably poor timing by buying the exact same bow just the day before. So she doesn't need another one. :-)
Unsurprisingly the brooch and rope turn out to be a Brooch of Shielding (88 hp) and a Rope of Climbing.

Thanks Black Tom! I think it's safe to say that we're all having a blast playing in this with you. This is the most fun I've ever had playing a cleric.
Have a great trip!
Vug's shopping list:
- a mithral chain shirt (1100 gp)
- copying over the spells Levitate, Invisibility, Resist Energy, Alter Self, False Life, See Invisibility (240 gp)
- 20 cold iron arrows and 20 silver arrows (43 gp)
- 4 vials of acid (40 gp)
She also checks on her beloved brown mold sample and makes sure it's okay.
Does anyone have any potions they would like Vug to make?
Resist Fire is always cool so you could bomb away without fear of hurting the front-line fighter...i.e. me!
Valgrim's shopping list:
+1 Breastplate (1350 gp)
2 Oils of Bless Weapon (200 gp)
Feres will take one of the tanglefoot bags and one of the Cure Light Wounds potions. If the wand of Remove Fear that Feres ordered hasn't arrived yet, then he will take one of the Remove Fear potions as well.
Feres' shopping list:
Wand of Remove Fear (750 gp; sent for via the temple of Iomedae after we cleared out the Zon-Kuthonite cult)
Have a +1 enhancement placed on his Darkwood Shield (1,000 gp)
Bubba will take a cloak of resistance +1, or order one if one is not available (1000gp).
Resist Fire is always cool so you could bomb away without fear of hurting the front-line fighter...i.e. me!
If you want to commission one, Vug will make one. Although note that she can also use one of her daily formulas on Resist Energy.
I've updated Vug's equipment now.
Ignore this post.
Unsurprisingly the brooch and rope turn out to be a Brooch of Shielding (88 hp) and a Rope of Climbing.
So who claimed the Brooch of Shielding and/or the Rope of Climbing?
Also, there's a potion of Remove Fear that remains unclaimed (Feres didn't take it since he purchased a Wand of Remove Fear), and I think we still have a masterwork composite longbow (mighty +2) from the grimlocks to dispense with since Vug purchased one for herself.

I assumed we sold the extra bow; that's how I calculated Vug's share of the treasure as 1081 gp. Let me know if my calculations were off...
I'd suggest that Valgrim should carry the rope; he's a strong dude. Vug will carry the potion of Remove Fear; she has an alchemist "spell" that allows us to reuse potions (ewww...).

Being rather unfamiliar with the alchemist class and its features, I'm afraid to ask...

"If you consume a potion or elixir on the round following the consumption of this extract, you can spit it back into its container as a free action. You gain all the benefits of the potion or elixir, but it is not consumed."
I suggest mandatory mouthwash rations for everyone!
Rope of climbing is now on sheet. The bow was already sold, already figured in our shares.
2000+ posts! Woo hoo! Thanks BT, keep it up!
Since we're about to wrap up Three Faces of Evil, I thought it would be nice to resurrect this thread. I will try to insert a few encounters of my own before we move on (you have a long way to travel) before we go on, just to get some more feel for the campaign world.
Just a big ol' thank you to you all. This is an amazing group and I'm learning a lot about clever play from you, and the post rate and commitment is fantastic.
I'll try to keep the game running as long as possible, but I have to admit I didn't expect us to get this far when I started the game.
Onwards to greater glory! :) And Happy Easter!
This game is definitely in the elite group of games I've played in that actually made it through a whole adventure, let alone two! In my experience, the lion's share of the credit should go to the GM; knowing when to move things along and which details to include and which to ignore are hard skills to master.
Having a blast, keep it up!
Happy to have joined this group, it's one hell of an adventure so far!
I would just like to give a big THANK YOU to Black Tom and the rest of the players for making this such an awesomely fun PbP to participate in. I have thoroughly enjoyed our adventures so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store next for our intrepid group.
Happy Easter everyone!
I just noticed this, Valgrim -- a large greataxe does 3d6 damage, not 2d8, so you were slightly short-changing yourself on damage.
EDIT: I also noticed that we're just a gnat's whisker (200 xp) away from level 5!
Nice catch Vug, I missed that. Good thing it didn't affect the battle!
So looking at some of the stuff we ended up with, Feres has a far greater number of spells that have durations so he'll benefit fore from the Lesser Maetamagic Extend rod.
Vulcan can definitely make use of the arcane scrolls.
Anyone have a preakdown of monetary loot since Vulcan joined?
We got 1,081 gp each (including Vulcan) from sacking the temple of Rovagug.
Thanks. I just realized I'm short a feat. 2 for being human at lvl 1 and eschew components. At 3 I was supposed to take another.
Treasure for Temple of Norgorber:
2390 gp
*3 magical feathers
Elixir of Vision
*Chain with two small golden spheres attached (Necklace of Fireballs)
Bracers of Armor +1 (500 gp)
Lesser Metamagic Rod of Extend
Scroll of Web
Scroll of Scorching Ray
4 potions of Cure Light Wounds
Potion of Shield of Faith +4
5 scrolls on Cultists (are they all web?)
Potions of Protection of Arrows (3)
Potion of Gaseous Form
Headband of Alluring Charisma +2
Heavy steel shield of Blinding +1 (2085 gp)
I say the Headband to Bubba, the scrolls go to Vulcan, the Rod to Friar, the necklace to Vug, and we sell the bracers and the shield. Or Headband to Vulcan, necklace to Bubba...you guys can work that out! Valgrim would like the Potion of Shield of Faith +4 and the 1 potion of protection from arrows.
How powerful are the fireballs on the necklace of missiles?
Let's see: the fireballs are 3d6, the feathers are feather tokens(two birds, one whip). I must also have forgotten to mention a Wand of Magic missiles (38 charges).
About the scrolls: I only counted 6 scrolls in all (maybe there was a slight confusion since you fought the acolytes twice). Vulcan used two in the fight with the Faceless One. The remaining scrolls are of Lightning Bolt and Summon Monster III.
Hope that helps.
What CL is the wand?
CL 1, I'm afraid.
Vulcan would like the scrolls and the wand (as a backup weapon, I think Vug should have the necklace, Feres the wand, Bub the headband and Valgrim any and everything that boosts hid ACor hp since he is our frontline.
Agreed. I think Valgrim should take the Amulet of Natural Armor +1 that Allustan offered, and any of the the potions that he wants.
The other distributions look good to me. Feres will very happily accept the Lesser Metamagic Rod of Extend.
Does Vulcan want to take the Bracers of Armor +1? The AC will stack with your Shield spell.
Thanks for the Amulet, it's on my sheet. Looking through the thread, I see we have a Brooch of Shielding (88 hps) and a Handy Haversack that no one ever claimed so feel free to claim those.
Would the Handy Haversack be useful for Vug? For storing and easy retrieval of all of her tanglefoot bags, alchemists fires, and other alchemical devices?
With Valgrim having the Amulet of Natural Armor and Vug the Necklace of Fireballs, I think that leaves Vulcan, Bubba, and Feres with neck slots open for the Brooch of Shielding.
I think I'd rather just sell the necklace of fireballs (sale value = 450 gp). Vug has plenty of bombs, and if we really need some backup fireballs we could buy a scroll of fireball for Vulcan to use. A 3d6 fireball with DC 14 and a 70' range isn't that exciting IMO, even if you ignore the drawback of having it possibly explode around your neck on a failed save vs. fire.
Vug will gladly take the haversack; it might come in handy for storing potions, for instance.
I wouldn't mind the bracers
