Are you guys trying to put a jinx on my computer? It runs Vista as well...

Eh... just use MS Update, and you will see... ;)

hmm... nifty nice reply-site, with the previous posts listed. Good!

Oddly enough I did just go win 7, we'll see if it's any better.I am blaming vista updating for the issues as every time it updated it got slower and worse and started blue screening. It updated yesterday and crashed..Hard. The bad news is I only could salave some of my hard drive, and still need to reinstall everything...fun. Sigh, I also lost all of my bookmarks which is a shame...If All goes well I should be updating tonight or in the morning.....

Bad news guys, my windows corrupted all my files, I lost all the game info, my maps, and everything. I am pissed off as I lost years of family pics I had on the harddrive that I had not back up like a fool. Anyhow give me a few days to rebuild, again sorry

Wow, that's a B&%$*#. I'm sorry to hear that. I know what it's like to lose all those pics.

yeah, that's bad.

It took a minor harddrive failure like that to teach me to backup and doublesave as well.
Now I got a backup-reminder, once in a month I duplicate all drives on a special external harddrive, that's not normally connected to the laptop.

If anything happens, I will only ever loose as much as 4 weeks. That's bad enough, but not too bad.

Ok guys we are done with part 2 and downtime is yours, sell loot, keep loot craft, learn to do the cha cha, all up to you

I'll have some notes for each of ya in the next few days and that last guy had a crown with 7 moonstones in it, +1 hide armor and +1 great club

Again thanks for hanging in there with me

Hip Hip Hurray!

Where's that list of items? Is it updated? I know I was wearing chainmail +1 that just won't work for me now that I've started with the wizard class. Also, I would keep the scimitar +1 over the rapier +1.

Edit: there's an incomplete list on Ardanto's character sheet. Do you think you can get it updated soon so we can divvy/sell stuff?

My list is gone, it is being rebuilt. There is a list a few pages back from the cove, not counting anything ya got off the dead in the city and a few items I added to the ship ya just did not have time to find before hand

Actually, I would like to go back to the cove to see if I can salvage any of the product that I was shipping over. I expect not, but the character would want to at least try. Hopefully, all of the beasties have killed themselves off by the time I go as well. I'd ask the group if they would like to with, as well as Kaskus and Liamae.

Try to befriend Kaskus. One can never have too many friends that can heal you.

Become a wizard with Dauros' aid. Swap spells with him.

Make some scrolls

Other than assisting with the others' activities, that's all I have planned for the next six months.

Oh yeah, hit points 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Seeker, do you have any special rules on crafting items? I was looking at the Craft Wondrous Items feat for one of my two new ones ...

EDIT: and I mentioned in the main thread, but I'll say it here, congrats to everyone on making it through two parts of the STAP! Not very often that a pbp makes it through even one part of any AP. And thanks to Seeker for making it a great ride so far!

EDIT 2: level 5 hit points - 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 with CON and favored class bonus, that makes 7 for a total of 36

Congrats to all of us for making it so far!

What was the rule for Fighter-hit dice? 1d8+2? or was it 1d4+6? I can't remember.

Will have a short Intime post up shortly, a but later (monday or tuesday) a longer post for things that Guard will do in the downtime.

I do not really have much in the way of houserules for it. UI do sometimes have players hurt parts in place of just spending gold, but in eberron that's not an issues for the most part.

If I have an issue with you making an items I'll ask you to make something else. You should be fine as long as ya stick with core however

Hit points: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

ok guys I know we have not played this up as well I do not normally use affiliations however there are a few in the city

So I will give a run down of them as they do have benefits. They are detailed in dragon 348

Church of the silver flame
Dawn council
The inspired
The seekers
Witchwardans
zelkrunes horns

Now thoven and Finn are both part of one, silverflame and Zelkrunes horns.

Any one involved with taking down the lotes my become members of the council

just thought I would throw them out there.

Note that with the +2 apprentice bonus I automatically learn all of the first level spells that Daurros has.

Starting with Ardanto's list'O Loot and going through the posts since Toxim came on the scene, I've compiled a treasure list. I added who has which item where I read it in the posts as well. I did not include items that were Lavinia's (specifically the stuff in her secret armory). There's also 4 potions, one cure light wounds, and 3 cure moderate wounds that were not used as far as I can tell. There are some items that still need to be appraised and some that have not been properly identified.
There's a good bit of stuff here.

Rapiers *2
Thieves tools *2

thats looks about right, i have not got a chance to doublecheck, and have added some items to the ship that where overlooked a fast look

About the ships cargo. You can get whats it was worth as a base price here, quick and dirty. However if willing to sail the ship elsewhere and willing to fins contacts the cargo can fetch around double what she'll bring in port

this is not counting anything ya wish to salvage from the cove , if ya dare go back

I do plan to go back. In going through the posts I recalled that there were some xoriat mutants in cages that need to be seen about. There's a barricaded cave I'm curious about. I want to see if I can salvage any of the silks in the one cave. There's also the small matter of a black pearl. I posted some (most) of this above, but now, due to the 'prisoners' there's an urgency to get it done. I'll see if the Millenium Falcons want to come as well as the Jade Ravens.

Guard will assist in looking for the black pearl, after the two days that he's nowhere to be found, that is.
Beeing at the cove, he will help clear it out as well, destroy the evil ones, explore it fully and such.

Daurros will identify anything that we haven't been able to so far (the charm being the main one). In addition, I've taken the Craft Wondrous Items feat, so I'm willing to craft items for anyone who wants them (note they need to be <= CL5). With 6 months, there should be ample time. Daurros will be spending most of his time finding and scribing new spells, scribing scrolls, crafting a few items, and researching the strange creatures we fought. Specific lists of spells/items will come once we get a final tally of loot.

He's willing to help back at the cove, provided it doesn't take too much time away from the other pursuits.

Daurros

ok how are you trying to sell the none magic stuff?

Daurros found spellbook has the fallowing spells

Ok, I almost done with the list of loot. Seeker, I couldn't find the Bloodstone Charm. Could you enlighten us as to where it can be found or what it does? There was some jewelry that was not priced, so I assumed a value of 50gp for each just to keep it simple. I did not try to price the sea charts, whose practical value outstrips their street value, or the cure wand with only 5 charges remaining as I'm sure we'll use that soon enough. Finally, the Sea Wyvern and its cargo I left alone so that we can decide what to do with it. I know that some of us have skill at sailing and I don't figure that we'll sell it. Anyway, here's the list. How are we going to divvy it up?

SEA WYVERN

List O Loot

i'll have to check here, but for one It is no likely ya'll end up with the dead ravens items. Another at best your getting 75% for the normal items, most time 50%

The bloodstone charm was a headband of wisdom+2

will look up the jewlry later

Is it safe to assume we'll be selling the club +1 & hide +1? The rest of the items someone on the Falcons can probably find a use for. The only one Daurros really wants is the spellbook (obviously). The charm he'll give to Thoven.

I'd also suggest selling the Ring of Swimming, Oil of Keen Edge, and maybe the Slippers of Spider Climb, but if someone wants them as their share of the booty, that's fine.

- I'm not sure which items were the Ravens' but I will go back through and take them off.
- I listed the purchase price not the sell price as I did not know what sort of resale value we could get.
- How have you divided treasure in the past? Just everyone note which items they want and if no one else wants it you get it?
-Hogarth, we're in a port town and own a ship. I would think the Ring of Swimming would be a useful, though not very powerful item. The Slippers of Spider Climb likewise.
- Unless, Ardanto wishes to do it, I'm going to move the list over to Toxim's profile so that I can continue to make changes without having to repost each time there's a minor change.

Dax, it has been first come first served for the items, usually if some one can use it and speaks up, they get it. You are more than welcome to keep the LOOT list up to date.

I agree that we should not sell items like the ring of swimming or slippers, they are far to useful to sell. The ring would probably be pretty useful to both Guard and Ardanto who are going to suffer horrible armour check penalties to swimming at some point.

Ardanto seems to being particularly poorly from the magic items division, mainly due to the fact he doesn't speak up. Unless it is fashionable or female he isn't tending to show an interest.

To be fair, he is mostly interested in the boat becoming his property than any magic trinkets.

I'll have a long hard think of what Ardanto wants to do over the six months down time, especially as he seems to have lots of options.

Still really enjoying this Keeper, looking forward to part 3. Are there really 12 parts in total?!?

- How have you divided treasure in the past? Just everyone note which items they want and if no one else wants it you get it?

-Hogarth, we're in a port town and own a ship. I would think the Ring of Swimming would be a useful, though not very powerful item. The Slippers of Spider Climb likewise.

But like I said -- if someone wants to take those items as their fair share of the loot, go for it!

This is the time for the player to speak up though. What items, apart from the ship, would you like Ardanto to use? If there aren't any, then you should get a larger portion of the treasure to outfit him more to your liking. As to the ship, I was going to put forth a suggestion that we use a portion of our treasure to maintaining it. Including any repairs needed and a obtaining a solid crew. That's why I have noted its contents separately from the rest of the treasure.

so we doing quick and dirty selling standard items? What about the ones on the ship?

If ya wish to sell the jewelery just have who ever sells it make a dip roll. Yall can use the Jewelle ya used last time if ya like.

that will leave dividing up the magic loot and selling the rest

Jade Raven items removed from List o Loot, which includes the jewelry I had asked about. Purchase price of items

Seeker, to keep things simple, can we assume a sell price of 50% or, hopefully, 60% on all items so we can do this quickly?

For the Sea Wyvern's cargo, how much can we get by selling it here and how much can we get by selling it elsewhere? What's the timeframe for selling it elsewhere?

I would like the Ring of Protection +1 (I will use it as my arcane bond item) as well as the Studded Leather armor +1 and the Scimitar +1. That should pretty much keep me from getting any cash unless we sell of the Sea Wyvern's cargo.

@Daurros:

For the custom wondrous Item:

I created a wondrous item (see below in the spoiler), mailed it to Seeker already, he approved (previously, hope it didn't change).
You probably won't have the necessary spell as of now (Magecraft).
Might be faster to just buy the thing...

Bracers of the Warsmith

Put me down for a ring of swimming and one hand axe +1 (I'll be trading that back to Guard at some point as the plan is to go with dual longswords ASAP).

Seeker,
The slippers, are they really slippers? Or do they look even remotely fashionable, Ardanto loves the idea of being able to walk up the mast and across the boom, but he is not wearing slippers for no man or women.

Selling the Cargo:
Assuming we plan to keep the ship, Ardanto is more than happy to crew it and sail it for a good part of the six months to make some cash, he currently has money tied up in cargo, so he already has a contact who might be willing to take him on.

Dax,
The rule for selling items in 3.5 (assuming I am remembering this correctly and it has not changed in pathfinder) is you get 50% value of any treasure magic or other-wise you sell, with the exception being trade goods, this you can sell at 100% value. Now I am pretty sure gems and jewellery class as trade goods, but I may be talking out my backside (which you are all used to by now I guess). I will see if I can find the correct page.

Ardanto could take less magic items and more cash. Then with the cash he could commission a set of longswords made specifically for him. Perhaps something with a draconic (or wyvernic) design to match his ship. And some jewels to make them even more noticeable.

From the Pathfinder thingy:

Other Wealth

Merchants commonly exchange trade goods without using currency. As a means of comparison, some trade goods are detailed on Table: Trade Goods.
Table: Trade Goods Cost Item
1 cp One pound of wheat
2 cp One pound of flour, or one chicken
1 sp One pound of iron
5 sp One pound of tobacco or copper
1 gp One pound of cinnamon, or one goat
2 gp One pound of ginger or pepper, or one sheep
3 gp One pig
4 gp One square yard of linen
5 gp One pound of salt or silver
10 gp One square yard of silk, or one cow
15 gp One pound of saffron or cloves, or one ox
50 gp One pound of gold
500 gp One pound of platinum

Selling Treasure

In general, a character can sell something for half its listed price, including weapons, armor, gear, and magic items. This also includes character-created items.

Trade goods are the exception to the half-price rule. A trade good, in this sense, is a valuable good that can be easily exchanged almost as if it were cash itself.

Ardanto could take less magic items and more cash. Then with the cash he could commission a set of longswords made specifically for him. Perhaps something with a draconic (or wyvernic) design to match his ship. And some jewels to make them even more noticeable.

Selling Treasure

Being a crafter doesn't sell anymore... you have to spend half the base price for materials, and can only sell it for that same ammount?
That is, if you don't roll badly on a craft check, else you only burn money.

That's serious bull.

Another thing: once Daurros is done with the spellbook, we can sell that too. Copying the spells does not remove them; when he decides to go check out the Witchwardens (I was going to have Daurros take the black pearl fragments there), I can see if they might want it. Alternatively, and this is directed at Dax, I could hang on to it as a 'spare'. But I think it would be worth quite a bit.

Just to be clear, the gems and jewelry can be sold at value? All other non-trade good items are sold at 50%?

Bryan, as long as I have access to your book as well (withing reason of course) I don't mind if you sell it. I actually come out better copying from your book as I get a +2 bonus due to being your apprentice. Also, are you familiar with Spellshards (ECS p122) and Aureon's Spellshards (ECS p265)? The spellshard is a fist sized piece of Eberron dragonshard, which costs 3GP, with up to 20 pages of spells imprinted within. The imprinting process takes 24 hrs, requires the spell Arcane Mark, and 100GP of powdered silver per page. It otherwise functions as a spellbook. Aureon's Spellshard is a wonderous item that holds 500 pages of spells and does not require the powdered silver to imprint spells.

Moderate Transmutation; CL 7th; Craft Wonderous Item, secret page; 6250GP; weight .5 lb

Now that I think of it, Seeker, I need to purchase an Eberron dragonshard so that I can make one of these when I get high enough level. I presume a Spellshard would do the trick, but if not, in Magic of Eberron p15-16 a 'small' shard is valued at 1d8GP and a 'greater' shard is valued at 4d4x10GP. How much would one cost me?

Wow , you guys keep me busy:) ok lets see

1. spellshards easy enough to find or have made within the six months. they make handy travel spellbooks or backups.

2. the slippers , they are made in this style and would not look out of place in the right outfit, but would look a bit odd in seamen dress. still ya can always store em, they would save a spell slot

3. ardanto sailing the sea wvyern. Oh goody, we can do a little role playing you hiring a crew, 1'll tell ya right now if ya spend 3 months hitting the Aerenal coast, Q'barra, and as far west as valenar ya can get top coin from the cargo you have cargo:

4. Guards item. yeah it's still fine the magecraft spell is damned common and easy to find in scroll form

5. Selling non- magic/jewelry goods 429 gp. now mw weapons ya can get 465 gp. If ya go thought the same dealer as before the jewelry can be easily sold for 1280 gp ya forgot the waterlogged books that bring another 250. the sea charts I think ardano wanted to keep. If your keeping the ship they are way more useful then what money ya would get from em, as they give a +2 to navigation checks . also the bars are worth 90 gp so that brings your loot up to 2'741 gp 448sp 686 cp or 411 gp 157 sp and 180 cp each or there abouts

I hope that covered it all for now

Having six months, even Guard should be able to work out one or two masterwork items, which could be enchanted with the help of Daurros, if the need arises.

Guard will try to get his bracers as soon as possible, then finish the work on his own masterwork heavy steel shield.

(Did I promise someone a weapon? I can't remember...)

So which magic items are we selling again?

Note that if Ardanto keeps the ring of swimming, a handaxe +1, and the slippers of spider climbing, that's 9,000 gp worth of loot (or 4,500 gp, if you're counting resale value) -- a huge share, I think.

Hmm... flaming adamant Warforged - Death from above!
