Roll 20 Campaign
Gonna leave Roll20 open in a window while I go read. If I hear a beep I'll return!
@Cladissa
Thanks for the lead on the Carrion campaign. Unfortunately, I can't make a more interesting character than Jelani. ;D

Well, as it appears everybody is in agreement on supplies and staff, everybody deduct 36 gold from your sheets and I'll add 4 more months of goods to our manor.

And on that note...what about the commissioning of a Cure wand?
900 gold each gets us a full Cure Moderate Wounds wand, 2d8 + 3 per charge. Each extra 300 gold we each contribute will get us another static +1 bonus from increased caster level for having it crafted at higher than minimum. So a 2d8 + 4 wand would be 1,200 each. 2d8 + 5 would be 1,500 each.
2,250 gold each gets us a full Cure Serious Wounds wand, 3d8 + 5 per charge. Each extra 450 gold we each contribute will get us another static +1 bonus from increased caster level here as well. So a 3d8 + 6 wand would be 2,700 each. 3d8 + 7 would be 3,150 each.
I think the CMW wand at CL 4 is quite the bargain, considering that an equivalent amount of cash spent having Nyugusk do nothing but brew them for us as potions would get us each 5 potions for 1,000 gold at crafting cost, for a total of 25 hits of CMW, where as the wand gets us a total of 50 doses at market value, and only cost us 200 gold more each. It would have taken 6 days to make (Market Value: 6,000 gp), so if we say we commissioned it at the beginning of downtime, it would be ready in time for us to take with us this next trip in.
And it looks to me like Nyugusk, Hrimnagel, and Cladissa could all use it with no need of UMD, so that's a perk too. I would say of those, to let Hrimnagel carry it. He can slip about unseen and drop emergency heals as needed.
That sounds like a wise investment to me. Not every scenario will be as hard as the last, but occasionally there will be tough fights.
Sounds good to me. Just give me the bill. I would like to return my potions of healing that I just commissioned from Nyug and apply the funds to the wand.
Busy the rest of the day. I'll post tonight.

I'll likewise have to wait to this evening to post.

Good idea! I'm in.
The only alternative I'd consider would be a range of options, e.g. buy the following:
- Wand of CLW (for when we want to top off while buffs are running, before the next room). Consider 2x Wands, if we wand two of us to be applying this at a time.
- 4x Scrolls of Cure Serious (for when we need significant in-combat support)
- 2x Scrolls of Cure Critical (for when we need major in-combat support)
- 1x Scroll of Breath of Life (for when shit really hits the fan)
I haven't done the math on this yet -- and it's clearly less efficient in terms of HP / GP -- but it also gives us (1) a broader tool chest, and (2) we can distribute the scrolls so that we don't have to rely on Hrim always getting to the downed person.
...and by the time we run out of scrolls and need more, we may have leveled and the relative cost of replacing them will have gone down.

None of us can cast Breath of Life without UMD that I can tell, but a good thought.
Good point...and boy would that be a disappointing roll to miss. I think you have the best UMD at this stage, yes?
Anyway, to be clear, I'm happy to go with exactly the plan Argor proposed, or a more toolbox approach. Just wanted to raise the Q.
HP: 50/50 | Hero 3/3 | Altered Human Witch 8
I've updated my sheet for my share of the household and the wand (deducting 1200 gp for the wand of CMW at CL 4).
Would Argor be willing to scribe a couple scrolls of mage armor at CL 2 at cost?
Hrim kicks in 1200 for the wand
36 for upkeep
and receives 200 for the cure potion that Nyug didn't make for him/

Made my deductions as well, so assuming Nyug and Grommuk chip their portions in, I suppose Hrimnagel can add a CL 4 CMW Wand with 50 charges to his sheet.
Grommuk pays 1,236 as well.
Buffs: Greater Magic Fang (CL5, +1 to all limbs), Barkskin (CL12, +5 to Nat Armor), Long arm (+5' reach), See Invisibility, Channel Vigor
As does Nyug.
EDIT: note, I'd planned to craft 4 potions of lesser restoration (at 200 GP ea) but after paying the 1200 for the wand he can only craft 3 of them. Still happy to share those 3.
Alternately, do we want to split the cost of more of them? Or anyone else want to order some? (Hrim already did, I believe.)
I am lurkin' like a gherkin in a jerkin...Roll20.

I'm around here. Lurking.

BTW, just saw that extracts (as well as potions) always take a Standard action...even if the spell usually takes more (e.g. enlarge person) or less (e.g. burst of speed).
I doubt it'll be a big deal, but it's nice to know that I can enlarge as a standard (or as a move with a potion, since I'm an accelerated drinker). Likewise, happy to craft potions of enlarge for Grommuk in the future, so he can get big faster.
Cheers,
Yeah, definitely the fastest way to get big. My str-based melee PFS characters usually carry around 5 potions of Enlarge at all times.

Before paizo has a chance to crash again: I'm lurking on the roll20 games, namely Absalom, IG, and RotR.
Current AC: 37 (39 vs Evil) HP: (16/16) 224/224 Current Buffs: (Permanent: Darkvision, See Invisibility, Arcane Sight), Heightened Awareness, Shield, False Life, Tears to Wine, Invisibility Sphere
Once again, lurking in Absalom.
OK, lorking myself now. Argor looks like he's there, but he keeps ignoring me. Was is something I said?

I had left the game client open on my PC by accident. My bad. But at least I caught you this time. Anywho, he just went to bed but I'm still lurking.

The family and I are visiting my parents for of couple weeks leaving tomorrow before dawn. My posting will be thinner and more irregular during this time.
Happy holidays.
cheers

Enjoy! I'm on and off work for a few weeks but not traveling. Might be irregularish as well, though probably with a couple bursts of time.

I'll be traveling before and after the holidays, and working during them, so my posting may get a little short-winded. But I will have my portable devices with me while I travel so I should still be able to check the forums and update as needed, just don't expect anything long winded.
HP: 50/50 | Hero 3/3 | Altered Human Witch 8
Same here. I do want to have a little downtime escapade, however. Depends on how much time Jelani gives us before starting the next scenario.
Welll....I'm pretty busy too, but I don't like long periods of inactivity. I will probably start the next scenario on the 26th since I have time off work then. That gives you guys fiveish days to RP and stuff.

I will be available for RP, despite my post. It is just to set the tone that he is obsessively researching "something" and is taking distractions and disruptions very negatively.
It's okay. We're not even half way through the campaign arc yet, and these scenarios are going fast. After the next one the pause won't come during the holiday season, and you all can downtime RP to your little hearts' content.

Sorry, Arctyryx, but cats are cruel. :)

Cole's revenge was rubbing Arctyryx's nose in the warm, loving relationship Cole has with Cladissa.

Indeed...cruel.
Lurkingish for a bit.

ok, wife aggro appeased for now, lurking again.
HP: 50/50 | Hero 3/3 | Altered Human Witch 8
Jelani, you are certainly welcome to take on the role of Roald, if you're so inclined.
I'm going to try to get on Roll20 here shortly. Maybe we can pick up the conversation a little about that.
Lurking while I work on an update.

Note to self: buy iron flasks for my expensive potions before next adventure.
Jumping on for a quick minute. Hopefully more time in the not too distant future...
