Bzck from holidays just now / Bushed .
will post tomorrow
Welcome back.
Hey Dami ... hope you had a great time ... sounds like you need another holiday to get over the last one ...
I will sleep at work :)
BT, we got xp for scaring off the unwell bandits, did we get any for the first lot in the barracks?
Yeah, sorry, forgot about those. You get 135 xp each for them.
I make it XP: 1936 so far, so 2nd level coming up if we are using medium advancement ... :-)
to quote Belkar of OOTS's fame
'Run , Run , my little chunks of Xp ! '
BT any chance you could put a counter inn the rooms we've been in and a different colour for the room we're in, I'm kinda confused where we are in the building. Many Thanks.
I definitely was worried about a TPK after running into that cleric's channels. Quite the save by Taney!
Yeah, that fight reminds me of one very early fight featuring two evil clerics with the Trickery domain. They made for very nasty low level bad guys. Maybe robin remembers.
It's an interesting idea to take Tacey with the party. If more of you feel that it might be a good idea, I think I'll recruit a player to run her. But I'll leave the decision to you.
We happen to be lacking a roguish type so I'll endorse it. I'm fine either way, though - I know the standard AP is 4 characters. To be honest, I thought it would make sense to ask in-character, but I was really just expecting her to decline.
It's not a bad idea. That is a role that's missing a bit.
Hey I'm cool with her tagging along.
Erland is all about making friends and converting folks to working against the ice magic people as best he can.
I am afraid otherwise Domitian will meet all traps head on
So I am all for it
(and yes BT I remember the fight against clerics )
On a related subject , did we get xp for Rohkar ? Need the extra hp from 2nd level
Yeah, you'll get the xp. Just waiting to see how the dialogue with Tacey would pan out, so you'll get xp for both of them.
You get 320 xp each for Tacey, Rohkar and the skeletons. Unfortunately I don't think that's enough for you. There was a typo: the ambushing bandits should give you 80 xp, not 801.
Are we going with medium or fast advancement?
We're using the medium xp track.
Hey guys, guess I'm your new former-NPC. I'm like 99% done but haven't found anything on how you've been doing HP.
Welcome Tacey. As for hp, you can either roll or take the average. Spending 3 hero points will let you roll one hp die twice and take the best result.
Let's do that. 0 Hero Points.
Lvl 1:10
total=22.
Welcome, Tacey! Glad to have you aboard.
Gosh, been way for the weekend and look what happens, a new player appears ..
Welcome Tacey .. the more the merrier ... the way we dice with death ..
Quick attempt to throw together a Loot Table
Looks good Domitian
Fixed it so everyone should be able to edit. I left off the items from earlier that people have claimed.
XP monkey here ... hoping we got enough XP to get to 2nd level and wake up even stronger than when we went to bed ...
Eianar would not let the sprite free .... wants to speak to him to find out what's going on, why they wanted the Lady. Need to see if he can use call of cold to get the sprite to be his servant, would make it easier then for him to tell us what's going on ... even though I doubt Eianar can do that. Probably sprite has more than 2HD.
Also we should have Lady Argenta's signet ring, we should give it back to her, and any other of her personal possessions we found.
Eianar is right; everyone but Tacey gets 120 xp and a hero point for rescuing the Lady Argentea, so that should get you to level 2. Feel free to level up.
You should have the lady's ring, but the ring mentioned isn't it so you can still count it as loot.
Just so it's here in addition to on the sheet:
On Rohkar: a scroll of animate dead (10 HD), two vials that are probably poison; a set of masterwork studded leather armor, dagger, light crossbow with 10 bolts, mwk short sword, white fur coat that radiates magic, mwk thieves’ tools, ring of keys (to the trapdoor, a chest and a cage to be mentioned below, a spellbook and a wooden unholy symbol of Norgorber, as well as 15 gp.
In his room: a gold ingot engraved with the Taldan royal seal (worth 50 gp), a spyglass , a silver lady’s ring (worth 25 gp), three shards of tiger’s eye gemstones (worth 10 gp each), a fine pair of leather riding boots of elven make (worth 15 gp), a silver dagger with a hidden compartment in the hilt containing 1 dose of some sort of poison, and a leather portfolio containing several pieces of parchment, including a scroll of endure elements, two scrolls of magic weapon, and a scroll of unseen servant.
In the storeroom: a birdcage containing a trapped blue fairy, just like the ones you battled, three scrolls of lesser animate dead(2 HD), as well as 2 more doses of poison and a small lockbox containing 25 pp, 150 gp, 180 sp, and a blue quartz “ice diamond” worth 100 gp. There is also three oils of magic weapon and 10 f lasks of alchemist’s fire.

Welcome Tacey. As for hp, you can either roll or take the average. Spending 3 hero points will let you roll one hp die twice and take the best result.
Does average mean 1/2+1 HP? Makes a difference on whether Dom will roll.
Rondolero Swashbuckler 2
+8 HP?
+1 BAB
+1 Ref
+1/4 Panache (alternate favored class bonus)
Skills:
Acrobatics, Climb, Intimidate, Perception, Knowledge (nobility), Sleight of Hand
Yeah, 1/2+1 works for me. Hopefully you will have hero points to spend later.
Erland is leveled up.
Highlights:
+6 HP
+1 BAB
+1 Will
Spells Learned: Jump (patron), Charm Person, Blend
Skills: +1 to all current skills
Re: treasure - I know we technically got all the goodies from the GM listed, just wanted Erland to have an excuse to remove himself from the noble lady - he feels a bit strange around them, and doesn't really wish to call attention to his powers/background.
Also, Fiske wanted to find a mousey.
Seems like I only identified 1 of the oil
I would suggest the cloak of the yeti goes to Domitian and the masterwork leather armor to Tacey or maybe Ingrit
I would also like to know which scrolls are divine or arcane and what spells are on the spellbook
HPs =6
BAB +1
Fort, Will +1
Spells +1 0-level, +1 1-level
Skills +1 Perception, +1 Handle Animal, +1 Heal

Forgot to add - new hex: Slumber!
I think either me or Dom makes the most sense with the armor.
EDIT: Never mind. I can use the short sword the most. Everything else is a toss-up.
I would also recommend the cloak go to Domitian since he has the Intimidate skill, could use the armor bonus and I'm way less susceptible to cold weather.
While I'm going the archer route at low levels, (and the way I've been shooting) I'm almost as effective in melee so the armor would be pretty useful for me.
Scrolls are arcane, except the Animate Dead ones. Spellbook contains alarm, chill touch, expeditious retreat, feather fall, identify, locate object, and ray
of enfeeblement
Tacey should take the Masterwork Studded Leather armor also.
So here are the suggested or claimed so far.
Domitian - white fur coat that radiates magic
Tacey - mwk short sword, , mwk thieves’ tools (only person who can use), masterwork studded leather armor
Damiano – spellbook, , scroll of endure elements, two scrolls of magic weapon, and a scroll of unseen servant.
Ingrit
Erland
Eianar
Extra crossbow bolts would go to either Erland or Tacey.
Pretty sure we want to ditch the animate dead scrolls
The poison dagger and extra vials of poison are pretty much rogue items
That seems a little.....disproportionate no?
Erland will keep the animate scrolls, if everyone is not dead set against it.
He can't really use them as of yet, but will be improving his UMD as he goes.
Not to mention, only Damiano & Erland can read them to know what they are...
That is absurdly unbalanced. I only wanted the shortsword because that's what my finesse training applies to and I only have one, so my damage would be quite a bit higher, I think, but yeah I'm literally the only one who can use the tools, so obviously I'd get that. The armor does the most good with me given that I will probably be using the ACP skills the most, but I think Ingrit and Dom would also get some use out of it. Plus, I'm already higher level than you guys anyway.
The bolts I can use but probably won't. Can Erland use some of the scrolls that Damiano is taking?
While he CAN use unseen servant & magic weapon, I don't forsee them being very useful in his hands.
Remember, he's a hex-based Int caster who doesn't wear armor.
As far as balance goes - Erland is also your healer, so keeping you lot better protected and between the baddies and him is to his advantage.
I'm not too concerned about the loot distribution, as it stands.
It's not like Erland can really use any of the stuff, although the silver dagger might be worthwhile, just in case we run into something with DR/Silver...
You do benefit the most from the sword and the armor. Just something we should be aware of the next time we have a loot distribution. The people who get nothing or very little this time get priority selection next time.
That seems fair.
@Black Tom - Totally get that life happens. Hope you are okay. Wishing you the best.

I second that, we'll still be here when you're ready.
Can we pick up some of the loot we left behind on our way back? I'm hoping to quickly sell everything and distribute the proceeds to the group so we can make any desired purchases before heading out again.
Yes, you can.
