Hrim didn't train to max HP this level, so 67. It's too expensive now. Unless you're giving max HP now?
cheers
Ah, no. I thought you had each level. Thanks for the correction.
If yes, he could spend Prestige Points to become an Initiate & Officer.
If not, maybe there's another organization that would interest Hrim.
cheers
I actually don't even know how factions work in the current set up, they did away with faction missions a long time ago. But looks like Dark Archive came from the Cheliax faction. They were always the "evil" faction back when I was an active PFS player and faction missions still existed.
Lurking as I work on some posts.
It's been bugging around North American lunch time for the past couple of days for me.
cheers
Lurking until I get bored.
Lurking for a while.
Mettera, can you please sign into the Roll20 page when you have a chance, so that I can set up your token?
Also, can you list your vital statistics in the gender line of your alias like the other PCs please? Thanks.
Lurking, don't see you jelani.
Also, a wand of Good Hope will cost 15,750 gp, have 7 minute duration per charge, and grant us +2 morale bonus on saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls.
__________
A wand of Haste will cost us 11,250 gp and be at CL 6, so 6 rounds per cast.
__________
Any other suggestions, thoughts?
Left, now I'm back.
Those wands are at the edge of my price range split 5 ways. I would have to delay my buildings to afford one.
Another choice would be a wand of prayer, which costs the same amount as a wand of haste (11,250), is half as good as good hope (+1 to attacks, saves, and damage), but has the added bonus of subtracting one from all those rolls for our enemies.
And I believe it would be Caster Level 5 at that price. So 5 rounds.
A wand of a second-level spells would be much more affordable, being only 4,500 gp but there's no good group buffs that I can see. However, there's a few that might come in handy -- Resist Energy or Align Weapon come to mind, as does Lesser Restoration.
Bless Weapon is a great 1st level wand.
Prayer requires DC and SR to force the -1 penalty. It seldom hits from an item, IMHO.
Protection for Evil is also good to force an extra Will save when someone is dominated. Especially good for an imp from an action economy pov.
See Invisibility is also good too.
Cheers
Bless weapon only applies to weapons, and of us, that is only you and Mettera.
I agree with Hrim on prayer, the weak DC will negate half the value of the spell.
Lesser Restoration might be a good option.
So far my order goes:
Good Hope
Haste
Lesser Restoration
Prayer doesn't allow a save for the penalty, although SR does apply. So it's not that bad as you say.
Good Hope is still the best, but the most expensive. I was looking for some lower-cost options.
Hrim has Lesser Restoration and can spam it.
You're right Cladissa about that Prayer DC. That must be a 3.0 thing.
cheers

Crap! That Bane Baldric only works for melee weapons! Back to the drawing board.
Wand of good hope gives you guys a 10% boost to basically everything for 50+ fights (aka basically the rest of the campaign). Well worth it in my opinion.
Mettera, you won't be able to see the map until I get your token set up. Please sign into the roll20 game with the name Mettera or Osterisk ASAP so I can get you set. There is a permanent link to the game at the top of the page.
On and lurking while I work on posts.
Split 5 ways, the wand of Good Hope would cost us 3,150 gp each to purchase. I'm going to assume we go ahead with this, and deduct the purchase price from my funds.
That leaves me, however, with 4,470 gp that I could use to float someone an advance/loan, should they be unable to provide their full share on the wand at this time.
Be back in about 1.5 hours for more lurking.
Back on roll20.
False lurker!
Lol was tabbed over.
OK. Hrim is going to buy
3,150 gp for his share of the wand of good hope
4,500* gp bracers of archery, lesser
Sorry to be scarce. Busy Busy, but a great 4th birthday weekend for my daughter. At breakfast today she said, "Papa, we can remember that day for a long time, right?"
Back to the game, I'm typically using Heroism (via Alchemical Allocation) as one of my long-term buffs. It largely overlaps with Good Hope. (Good Hope's advantages are just ability checks and weapon damage.)
That said, it's a good group buff. I'm fine with it--or with Heroism, which does basically the same thing minus ability checks (mostly Initiative, if we know to cast it before an encounter) and weapon damage rolls--with a longer duration and for less than half the price. Seems like it's already decided and I can easily find a new potion to Allocate...assuming I sell off my Heroism potion that I keep repeatedly gargling and spitting back. (Yummy! Any takers?)
As far as Lesser Restoration, I agree it's not needed. I carry 4x self-crafted potions of it that I can disperse if Hrim runs out of spell slots.
Lurkin' for a while.
My last gameplay post is under the assumption that taking a spellbook and scrolls underwater would be a poor idea for their durability and the writing contained on them. If magical writing is not susceptible to water damage (I assume it still is), then I would keep them with me.
Lurking for a bit.
Hey Jelani, how long is it going to take us to get there? Wondering about how long if any I have left on buffs I started before we entered the Lusty Mermaid. Thanks.
Well, with shopping taking place, renting the boat and then finding it in the fog, I'll say about an hour.
Lurking while I type up some posts.
The argument is continuing on roll20...
Ha. I'm winning of course. ;-P
I don't know where you get your delusions, laser-brain.
My theory: merf doesn't do it, but...

Gyr, I'm on Roll20 for the moment trying to grab your attention
Lurking on Roll20 for a few.
Lurking.
Jelani, what do you mean by "dryer?" Is the room actually devoid of water?
Moving plan discussion over here:
I'm inclined not to try to catch they guy, in part because I think it would be a round to grab him and another to pin him before running (during which a lot could go wrong).
I think the chest I can just grab and run (and by run I mean swim at 60' speed, or a 120' full round action, if I manage to grab it during a surprise round).
If we go with this, my buffs'll be enlarge person + long arm (giving me 20' reach on my longest arm).
Jelani, based on scouting, does it look like the chest would be within 20' reach for me, from some spot we could bash a hole?
At work. Not a lot of time. With several buffs and a lack of water, Hrim can probably drop one wounded spectre per round.
Cheers
The third undead was not a spectre. The chest is big enough that it will require two hands to lift and move.
OK, lets try to finalize the details of our plan.
Option 1: Grab and run
- Mettera opens a hole in the ceiling above them
- Nyug grabs the chest with two hands
. . if it's within 15 feet, he may be able to swim off with it immediately.
. . otherwise he'll need to move toward it, but can hopefully flee with it the next round.
- Everyone who doesn't have a swim speed should stay as far from the spectres as possible
- If Nyug can't successfully grab the chest (or the plan otherwise goes pear-shaped) we'll have to reassess.
Open Q for plan 1: Do we try to grab the human too? Argor votes YES. Nyug votes NO (assuming he'll follow us for the artifact, and if not we can choose to get him later)
Option 2: Kill them all!
- Cladissa is immune to energy drain and can send one fleeing if it fails its save vs chill touch
- The rest of us can pile on damage vs the rest
Other options/variations I missed?
I'm inclined toward #1, but am game for whatever...and know that if it's tough to get the chest #1 could easily turn into #2.
I think Argor is inclined toward #1 too (with the variant that he'd prefer we grab the human fiddling with the chest).
What do the rest of you think?
