Why is it that any time I need to make a roll for knowledge DIRECTLY related to Eostre's studies I get a crappy roll?! It makes her look like the worst Thassilonian scholar ever! >:(
Blame RNGesus.
At least you might be able to convince Brodert to investigate with you... :)
Alternatively, I'll let you try Knowledge (Arcana) for this, if you want.
I'll do that.
*sigh*
I guess Eostre slept through that part...

One of the hazards of being a low-level wizard in magic school - lots of sleep spells flying about.
Ugh... sorry guys, I've been dealing with a bad cold lately on top of schoolwork and I haven't had the motivation to post.
I'll get us moving along in the morning.
Eh, we all have days like that. No biggie. Take as long as you need. :)
Thanks for being patient. :)
So, now that you've explored half of the Catacombs of Wrath, it sounds like I should put out a call for a replacement healer.
I only have my phone right now. I'll post when I have access to a computer.
Does anyone have any recommendations for players they could ask to join or should I just post something in the recruitment forum for a replacement?
I totally posted an answer to your question, Runecat, and now it seems to be gone. Trying again: do any of you know StephNyan? He runs and plays PFS here, and I've enjoyed his role play a lot. I don't know if he's looking for a long-term game, but I can ask. Shall I? If he's not available, I can surely think of others. And sometimes a recruited player can add some novelty to the mix.
Looking over StephNyan's games now.
Currently liking what I'm seeing so far! Go ahead and ask him, if you like.
Hello everyone! StephNyan here. I'd very much like to join. I've been wanting to create a healer for some time! :)
I've already started working on a character, and a concept for her background. When I've made some more progress on her, I'll post it. For now, here's a bit of info on what I'd like to play in this game: the character I'm working on is a human oracle of life with the tongues curse. There will be channels, and from level 3 onward I'll create links with the front row fighters to take some of their damage each time they're hit.
GM, with how much wealth do I start? I imagine the current players are somewhere in between the average wealth for level 2 and level 3, and I don't know where I'd come in.
Welcome Steph! Very glad you could join us. I'm not sure about the wealth question, as we've just found our first proper treasure hoard and we haven't sorted out what we get from it yet.
Welcome, Steph! :)
Regarding wealth, I had another newcoming player start at max possible money for character generation because the PCs hadn't gotten too far into things yet.
Does this sound like a good idea to you?
Welcome aboard and thank you for coming in so quickly!
Bienvenue, new teammate! :)
Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! :)
Evelyn's stats are ready. I just need to add the items, and finish her background.

This game uses 25 point buy, which I think is high-fantasy? So would the max character wealth I'd get be 2000gp, or would it still be 1000gp?
"Character Wealth by Level lists the amount of treasure each PC is expected to have at a specific level. Note that this table assumes a standard fantasy game. Low-fantasy games might award only half this value, while high-fantasy games might double the value. It is assumed that some of this treasure is consumed in the course of an adventure (such as potions and scrolls), and that some of the less useful items are sold for half value so more useful gear can be purchased."
If the others haven't doubled the amount I get by the time I jump in, I'm fine with whatever value you propose. But when do I jump in?
High fantasy is 20 pt buy. Epic fantasy is 25.
I think I'll have you stick with 1000 gp for items.
Anyway, the cleric is going to be taking her leave of the party soon, and unless I'm wrong, they're planning to contact Father Zantus to get his help in consecrating the ruins under the Chopper's house. Exorcising his ghost, and all that. :) There might be a good jumping-on point for you there.
Okaydokay!
Judging by Sylvia's profile, I don't think you already have a shared healing wand? Considering the wand costs 750gp, I think we should pool the resources once Evelyn has joined the party. It's for the entire party's benefit :)
Nope. Nobody went and bought one. :(
Then again, that could be because they didn't get enough cash together for one.
I've put some gp aside for it :) It's probably best we'll buy it when we get the chance.
Only background and personality are left to finish!^^
I'm assuming we got Conner a room at the Dragon last night then?
I figured he was bunking with Eostre!
Figured wrong, I guess.
You ready to jump in soon, Eveyln?
And I agree about buying a wand of CLW, I'll happily chip in for it.
Speaking of such things, can we do something with the treasure we found? Since that knife isn't growing to suit Nicat's needs, we should sell it for some cash, probably the other tiny items too.
I just finished Evelyn's background and personality.
Ready to jump in when I can!
I've been waiting for a sign as to when I can jump in. Perhaps the Cathedral is a good place, giving it's the reason Evelyn came to Sandpoint?
That's what I was thinking too, Evelyn.
I just now noticed that Ekan never put what sort of outfit he has on his character sheet. So... that's my reason for introducing him as being shirtless.
Huh. I was almost sure I gave him SOME clothes. I'll need to check my hero lab later when I have access. :o
Hero Lab always includes a free artisan's outfit on every character, but doesn't tend to list it in the gear section when you produce the text for an alias. Nicat doesn't really have clothes listed either, just leather armor - which he wears to impress Shayliss.

I'm reading up on your adventure so far, and I've arrived somewhere at the end of the goblin raid. I very much enjoy reading all the roleplay.
However, the mental image you just gave me of Nicat prancing around in just leather armor is very disturbing...

Yucky bah.
Nicat? Your last post was HILARIOUS! XD
I feel I should mention Conner has nowhere CLOSE to 150 gp.
Nicat? Your last post was HILARIOUS! XD
Very glad to hear it, Eostre! I was worried it would feel like I was picking on you, happy to hear you found it funny. Eostre's lengthy disquisitions and 50-cent words make great fodder for Nicat to play off!

Think nothing of it. I simply LOVE playing your straightman! ;)

I see you have 15gp. I have 211gp and a bit, and could borrow you some gp. Maybe the others can also borrow you some?
Unsure of what to say after Nicat's last words...
He strikes again!
I should point out that my sheet says I only have 60 gp - but we just scored some pretty nice magic items off the quasit, we ought to be able to get some decent trade-in value on them, even if they're a bit small.
GM - what say you? Do we get the usual 50% of purchase price? The +1 returning dagger would net us over 4,000 gp right there, nobody would have to put up any money for the cool wand of magical healing!
If we can GET 4,000 GP for a dagger about the size of a large sewing needle...
I'll say that 50% of the purchase price is appropriate.
I forgot the +1 returning dagger was cold iron - that puts its retail cost at 10,304 gp and it's sale value at 5,152 gp. We also got a tiny black silk gown and a cute wittle tiara, which we should be able to sell for 38 gp (rounded up for convenience).
So our total sale value on those items is 5,190, then we take out 750 gp for the CLW wand If we divide this across the 5 of us who went into the Catacombs of Wrath, that's 888 gp each, which puts us pretty even with Evelyn and gives us some spending money.
Don't spend it all at once. :)
Sorry I didn't post yesterday. Had to do a lot of shovelling for my driveway and my grandfather's and it left me too exhausted to post.
I've only got my phone with me; I'll try to post when I have access to a computer.
...Okay, Runecat NOW you're scaring me!
>:)
Excellent.
Anyway, is everyone's HP up to date?
Mine is :P
My HP are up to date. Why does that matter? ;p
