Dotting

Eeps!

Are we leveling to 2?

I will be shutting down the old threads soon.

I was to understand everyone will come into this game at level 2

just to let people know that I will out a bit today and tonight.

going to lunch with the wife (23rd wedding anniversary in s few days) then I have my regular table game tonight.

not quite done on the other. I will let you know bout final loot etc. Once we wrap up. Close I promise

Grung was easy to level up. ;)

cool - I am traveling the next 2 days, will have mobile devices to post but leveling up might have to wait til I get back on Friday. Will also be easy to add another witch level.

I just have to decide whether its time for "The Attack of the Prehensile Moustache"!!!!!

post up! I have probably two posts left to go.

Plan for spending money

700 gold = masterwork composite (+3) longbow

Is it possible to purchase a wayfinder?

Is it possible to purchase a wayfinder?

yes but only a standard wayfinder is available at the moment

Woot! thats the only one I could afford anyways right now. :P

Or get a nice locket and hire a heightened continual flame spell cast by an NPC!

Make sure it is heightened to counter darkness/deeper darkness.

330 gold

as suggested Here!

Oh, I wasn't even thinking about the lighting conditions really. I was thinking more of the things a wayfinder can do, like when you put an ion stone into it.

Impy is now 2! Shiny new armour and even a new sword.

Espy level 2 now, ready for action

just got back into town, will level up later this evening

three silly questions, sorry if I missed something...

1- do i roll for HP?
2- gear totalling $1,000 or add $1,000? meaning, can I now buy a $1,000 item?
3- how available are magic items? depending on the answer to #2, I would like to buy either bracers of armor or a 1st level spell wand.....

1.half HD +1 plus con

2. 100 gp total

3. at thios point assume you are creating a 2nd level character with 1000 gp of gear.

thanks, leveled up and ready to go

updated game info tab. added a copy of the map you found on the dead explorer in cyclops lair.

sorry i am traveling today back in action tomorrow!

shopping list continued

Axe, boarding (6 gold)
1d6 *3 light weapon

Basically a hand axe with a backward-pointing spike, a boarding axe is used to chop through hatches or rigging, to drag burning debris off a ship, or as a weapon. A boarding axe is a one-handed martial weapon that uses the same statistics as a handaxe, except it deals slashing or piercing damage. In addition, the spike grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Climb checks on wooden surfaces.

I have a regular game tonight so I will be light on posting tonight.

I am assuming that a trip to the market is order for everyone.

also this is a pirate port town so there should be no problem finding everything you are looking for. (within reason)

grung: a port town you should be able to get a boarding axe for 4 gold instead of 6.

I will have a simple encounter at the market after everyone purchase their stuff.

ah, encumberance, you fickle so-and-so........can't carry much more so my shopping will be extremely limited. Im assuming theres a port city on the other end so I dont need to buy supplies for the road after we land?

Maybe we should go shopping together...

I was buying 10 pints of oil (1 gold) Hey it burns! in place of alchemists fire due to costs, but a group effort on supplies might be a good thing!

I have been known to pack-mule items for spellcasters before. ;)

Espy had a good list going.

Impy still has plenty of carrying capacity as well.

Impy also is transitioning to that front-liner, while I am starting to focus switch-hitter, thank you rapid shot.

Any clues how long we will be on a ship?

have fun DM!

Balthe is hoarding money a bit. Saving up for magics.

Valdric once we know each other you might want to let balthe cary the wand since he is healer focused.

Would free you up to do more witchy stuff

agree, once we figure out how effective the group is we can determine whether to spread out the healing or consolidate. I agree with your thought process, just need to get to know you a bit better!

Valdric if you did make a purchase of signifcant weight let either me or Impy know.

I have completed my shopping at this time.

what did my 28 knowledge local accomplish if anything?

wow, a busy day at work and you miss quite a bit!

when you say we can find "just about anything"....

Id love to find a darkwood quarterstaff (1/2 the weight, +1 masterwork quality bonus). Pricing says add 10gp per pound to the masterwork price, but can you have a masterwork quarterstaff? and how would I calculate price for it beyond the +40gp for the darkwood??

other than that, thanks Grung for the offer. If I can find this staff itll probably deplete my funds other than a few more days rations if we think we'll need that on the ship?

ok good news bad news.

from what I can find out a quarterstaff is also considered a double weapon and as such the cost for a masterwork quarterstaff is 600 gp plus 40 for darkwood thus 640 gp total.

good news is you can find one.

ugh.......kind of nutty for a length of wood but the math makes sense. Oh well, I'll drool over it for a few minutes, then buy some rations and proceed to the marketplace encounter.

OK seems there is either confusion or something else...
basiclly here is what you got...

there are two different evil factions vieing for power the party has been thrust into it possibly not entirely by choice.

the idea is to find a way to bring down both but first the party will need to find the right allies.

they will be found in the village of Haanex.

the Uncle Vinny thing is a red herring so to speak...basiclly, just a case of mistaken identity.

Vincez is a part of one side of the conflict. during the ocean voyage the group may want to get what information they can from him. of course the party may have to determine truth from lies and decide for themselves what to do about him.

I am giving a little bit of DM info to help clarify much of what is going on.

This Adventure is not entirely a case of straight forward good guy kills bad guy type scenerios.

I hope this helps to clear things up.

should I move forward to boarding the Albers? or is there more you want to do befor the ship sets sail.

the passgae for the party is already arranged so no payment from the PC's would be required.

Hey that was my plan...

Question 1
what am I in the big middle of?

Question 2
Who is winning?

Question 3
Who is on the other side?

Question 4
Why choose one side over the other?

I posted question #1 in character in the game thread.

I saw that just trying to come up with an answer for you.

i am pretty much out of commission today and tomorrow. I will try to make a post but please feel free to bot me.

I am always light on posts on weekends....
I am also having a three day weekend....

still going here?

yes still going just slow right now for various reasons.

this weekend seems light posting but i can move it along if those are willing.

was hopeing for some more interactions but thats ok.

still here also...thought the call for serpent means it was time for less chitchat and more combat but can easily shift gears back to rp'ing ship time.

as did I valdric. I figured it was combat

so are we still playing here? If we are just going to move at a slow pace I am alright with that, but I thought we were 1 post a day.

Can we all touch base and figure out how fast we are moving here?

I'm still here and still posting. I'd prefer a faster pace, but if this is what everyone can do then that's fine.
