Partial wand of Lesser Restoration (10–20 shots, ideally made by a Paladin for cheapness)
One is available with 11 charges, but not on made by a Paladin. Note also that it will still have a three round casting time.
Fair enough. I'll take it.
Partial wand of Mirror Image (~10 shots ideally)
One with 18 charges is available.
Nice! Taken.
One with 2 charges is available.
Tempting... but on second though, two shots is not going to give me a viable option against ranged opponents on the large scale of things, and the save DC is going to be pitiful. I think I'll just try to find some Magic Missile instead. It sure worked well for Iaurinn.
I think I'm going to reduce the belt of Str and Con to only Str and look for some Boots of Striding and Springing instead. I hate being slow, and it looks like I don't need the winterland boots anymore.
All together, that leaves me with 2776.8 gp of spending money. I'll look for a wand of Magic Missile of CL 9, 7, or 5 (in order of preference) and a number of charges that I can afford (i.e., 20, 26, or
37 shots at most, respectively).

re: new moon, etc. No, I had not been keeping track. I have the last 5 recorded (so I should be able to figure it out), but not the interval. what is it again?

"Um, guys? Myri is still looking clearly embarrassed. "Um, whatever else we do, could I dance on the night of the Feast of Honored Visitors? I...would like to honor my sister...and...the memory of my mother as well."

I'm going to move this to the IC thread.

My current thoughts:
Haven't looked over the lists for "fun ranger stuff" yet, but some basic ideas from looking at your character sheet ...
Your armor class is quite low. Getting better armor and/or a ring of protection could be wise.
I agree. At this point, I expect something to hit Myri if she is targeted. However, if she gets armor, then I would rather she gets a ring of Chameleon over the Shokozu of the Night Wind.
You could blow a big chunk of your cash on adding another quality to your bow, such as, say, Corrosive. It would be 10,000 gp, but it would increase your damage output significantly.
I am leaning towards this, but how long would it take? Are we expecting to be here longer than the 4? days remaining?
A magic belt to get your Dex up a bit is always good for an archer.
also agreed, since it helps AC, Reflex save and to hit. am waffling between that or damage first, though. May depend on how long we are expected to be here. So I guess, I would be leaning towards additional damage, but because of time frame, I am probably closer to the increasing Dex option.
I'll look for more odd and cool stuff when I have a chance.
Thank you.

Sorry, didn't realize I was on ooc thread. Just responding to everything I "Favorited" during the day. Thank you for moving it there.
Kyrademon |
That leaves you around, what, 4,000 gp? So you could also get a Dex belt, which would help your AC a little ...
Some more nonstandard ranger stuff in that price range includes in that price range includes boots of friendly terrain or a lens of detection.

NOTES ON THINGS
1) The keep-Ameiko-alive fund.
Most people have weighed in on this, and with the amounts donated thus far, she would have enough to purchase +1 Mithral Kikko Armor.
2) Don't forget to try to sell trade goods in town if you wish to do so.
Remember that this requires an IC declaration.
3) Current votes suggest that |This will represent Tien moving forward.|
And so it is.
4) There have generally been votes in favor of:
- Selling the spare horses
- Buying 2 Ballistae and 1 Bag of Holding
- Having Kelda and Jorun switch jobs
As there have been no objections, all of these things can be considered approved.
5) Based in part on some offline discussions (including a lot of hard work on Melinda's part), the GM might suggest a possible set up of: 7 drivers/5 spellcaster scouts (food)/5 guards/2 Entertainers/2 scouts (security)/1 scout (food)/1 Guide/1 Cook/1 fortune teller/1 Passenger ... including both the ballistae and your tenth level feat, and assuming a pair of horses are sold: Attack: 13, Security: 15, Resolve: 16, Consumption Without Spells: 10
As the spellcasters providing the food spells seem to approve of this plan, and there have been no objections, we shall proceed with the assumption that this is the new Caravan set-up.

Incidentally, it occurred to me that my Diplomacy bonus is not even maxed at +20... I figure I should give it priority over Intimidate now that sparring with Ameiko has become less goal-oriented. ;o)
Also, I realized Ameiko's boon is pretty damn powerful. I kinda shrugged it off earlier because of the "sonic" part (when does that ever happen?), but a +4 vs mind-affecting effects? That's incredibly useful. :)
Rhost Mab-i-gof |
Rhost would rather contribute his time than be paid for wedding feast. If Liothonae insists, Rhost will generate a figure.
Kyrademon |
OK, Ameiko's armor may not be considered purchased. Anyone who donated money, please subtract that money off.
If there is anyone who does NOT want that to count as your 10th level gift to Ameiko (among those of you who are in a noncompetitive relationship with her, of course), please let me know within 24 hours; after that, I'll do the rolls.
Alaric Graff |
Somehow I'm getting the uneasy feeling that we're participating in the Prince and Myriana's wedding festivities... :\
Alaric would be happy to provide the Prince's clothes. Sadly, the Prince is about a head too tall to fit into them, but there's an easy way around that.

7 drivers (Bevelek, Kalimac, Kelda, Sandru, Tollin, Uksahkka, Vankor)
5 spellcaster scouts - food (Alaric, Hrunndalf, Jorun, Lio, Mel)2 Entertainers (Ameiko, Myri)
1 Guide (Ulf)
1 Cook (Rhost)
1 fortune teller (Koya)
1 Passenger (Spivey)
2 scouts - food (Shae, Attatoq) ~ otherwise our consumption will be 12/day
1 scout - security (Buttersnips)
5 guards ... I only have 4 (Reta, Silmemir, Skygni, Zaiobe)
which makes sense ~ since 5 guards would = 26 people in the caravan
This set up give us: Attack +12, AC 20, Security +14, Resolve 16 and consumption without spells of 10
13 wagons + 2 rhinos + 24 (people sans Spivey) = 39
-8 scout offset -3 rings of sustenance = -11 (down to 28 consumption)
-14 scouts bringing in food -2 cook = -16 (down to 12 consumption)
-2 efficent travelers (down to 10 consumption)
If we have 2 security scouts then 12 consumption per spells
Melinda Sorn |
So far the caravan has always made sure that we get our consumption down to 0. When that is the case, we don't actually use the food stores.
We only use the repair materials when the caravan is damaged.
Both are only used in extremes. Right now we have 9 repair materials and 5 stores of food (which = 10 units of consumption each).

don't worry, we can use the seal to resurrect you, and then reincarnate the Prince as something unpleasant.

... please reduce your current units of Stores to 1 and spend 35 gp from the Caravan fund to reflect the replacement stores you would have had to purchase in Ul-Angorn.
You only have 1 set of food stores currently. You will have to purchase more if you want to get the number back up.
Kyrademon |
Also, please keep game-related questions here rather than on e-mail, even minor ones. That is my work e-mail as well, and from experience, opening the floodgates of a game on it is a bad idea.
Kyrademon |
If the party wants to start giving them some, it could be put to a vote, but the default from the beginning has been that they do not.
After Ordu-Aganhei, I was going to stop including the Caravan fund in the split, since after this module, upgrading by leveling rather than through purchases will probably be enough. So I suppose that's one option to start spreading a little among the NPCs without totally screwing over WBL if people wanted - I could bring that up when I bring up no longer having a Caravan split, perhaps.
Melinda Sorn |
Can you please add 31.3 to Reta's funds and 100 gp to Zaiobe's please?
...
And if we do stop having a caravan split, I like the idea of our NPCs getting the money. Cause frankly, the NPCs we picked up in book 1 are getting screwed over in comparison to the NPCs from book 2.
Kyrademon |
Matter for Party Vote -
So, after Ordu-Aganhei, I'd been planning to suggest no longer including the Caravan Fund in the treasure split. After this latest purchase upgrade, I judge that simply leveling should be enough to keep the Caravan up to par for the rest of the Adventure Path. (You could still upgrade further if the party wanted to, but I thought it was at the point where doing so should be a matter of everyone voting and contributing funds rather than an automatic split, because it's no longer nearly as crucial.)
If this is done, either you all could start taking the money that would otherwise have gone to the Caravan Fund, or another possibility is that you could start giving what is currently given to the Caravan Fund to the NPCs instead. Currently, NPCs get no share of loot, although they can get gifts, payment for Caravan jobs in some cases, and some have occasionally made money through IC action of one kind or another.
If you did start giving them the money now going to the Caravan fund, they each would be getting about 1/20th of what each of you guys get, but that's really the max you could give them without borking yourselves as heroes who need equipment. They're not going to be able to afford powerful magic items, so if you want your lover or friend or relative to be well-equipped that will still have to come in the form of gifts from PCs, but it would mean they no longer had to go begging to the PCs whenever one of them wanted slightly better armor or maybe a fairly minor magic item or even, in some cases, get someone else a birthday gift or something, which is currently the case.
If this happened, to keep myself from having too many headaches as GM, I would simply declare that all eligible NPCs get an equal share of the NPC loot. I would, however, also say that they the few NPCs who are being paid for their jobs at the moment would no longer have to be, as even that small share would probably still be higher than what they're getting now, so whatever is currently in the Caravan fund (not a lot) could just be a reserve in case you need trade goods, stores, repair materials, etc.
All that having been said, please vote on one of the following options:
(1) Keep the Caravan Fund as it is, a 1/8 share of post-claim monetary loot division. Even if it is not strictly speaking necessary, I yearn for us to have the mightiest Caravan the world has ever seen!
(2) Switch the Caravan Fund to being an NPC fund. A 1/8 share of post-claim monetary loot shall be divided equally among all NPCs who are part of the Caravan, have an independent physical body that can move on its own, and have an intelligence greater than 2 (e.g., can spend, have a use for, and understand the concept of "money".)
(3) Eliminate the Caravan Fund entirely and institute no NPC fund. More money for me!
