--------------------
Also have Boots of the Cat - Price 1,000 gp; Aura faint transmutation; CL 1st; Weight 1 lb.
These high-soled blue boots provide a great deal of comfort and arch support while also making the wearer appear a little bit taller than normal. The boot's wearer always takes the minimum possible damage from falls (as if the GM had rolled a 1 on each die of damage incurred by the fall) and at the end of a fall always lands on his feet.
I'll be away today, and may have trouble checking in from the con. DMPC as necessary, please.
Man, I knew the leveling was close :) I'm cavorting currently in the musical eddies that are the many stages of Lollapalooza. If anything needs advancing, I'm with Dandi and DMPCing.
Enjoy Lollapalooza!

Barry's been walking around with the Headband of Cha, and he targeted a couple of the precious gems in the labyrinth that weren't appraised at the time. I can scour the posts for said attempts :)
Line 67 - Chain Shirt +1
- I'm unsure if someone else took this or we can sell it or already sold it. It doesn't appear to have been sold. Nikolay has moved up to the Breastplate +1, line 97
Line 125, Belt of constitution +4
- Nikolay has been wearing that as only Briar responded to his offer of it.
Line 123 - I believe the lesser restoration potions shown with Nikolay from here are gone, but the cure serious are still available.
Briar has reviewed the document and still wishes to sell the Ring of Mind Shielding.
Briar's wand of CMW now has (25/30) charges.
That is all...unless we need more cash.
This is what I have on the sale pile...
Selling
Chain Shirt +1 1,250
Onyx (Un)Holy Symbol, acts as a Phylactery of Faithfulness 1,500
Leather armor +1 (x2) 2,320
Rod of Wonder 12,000
Headband of Alluring Charisma +2 4,000
3 suits chainmail +1, 3 spiked shields +1 7,377
Ring Mind Shielding 8,000
Kukri +1 2,308
Ring of protection +2 8,000
Maybe
3 Plaguebearer's Masks 6,000 (no one has really claimed these)
Ring of Evasion 25,000 (Barael mentioned selling it I think)
Mantis Mask (x2) 12,000 (selling them off, if you can, would throw off a pursuer)
The ring of evasion doesn't seem worth selling. The best we'd get is 2,500 each and I'd rather someone have it. We can hold it for now unless people are anxious for the cash.
A couple of those noteworthy gems...
The Gem from the Three Chest Room past the Symbol of Pain
I could have sworn up and down that I had also plucked the eyes of the serpent in the blades room, but canna find a posting saying as much :(
And Barael is staunching the loss of Charisma by wearing the Headband, so as to preserve his Ki a little more...
The gemstone has little value - just 250gp, but I did miss it. There are also four MW Kukri that the party gained which I don't see listed anywhere so I'll add those as well.
Oh, I meant to grab the +1 kukri.
Briar is fine with the definite sell list. He would sell all the masks (both plague and mantis) if CorbinDallas could find a taker...and he might. This is a city that might find a home for them.
Definitely keep the Ring of Evasion, Rat.
Daily Defaults. Unless otherwise stated, Briar will...
Cast Atol Haul each morning. (20 hours of the strengths of many Atols!)
Cast Ward of the Season. (At least until its no longer Summer.)
Have his bow slung o'er his shoulder.
Take +2 to AC/Reflex etc. from Blessing of Fervor.
I notice there is a ring of protection that no one has claimed. Huh. Fondo would take that and add his Ring +1 to the party pool.
I appreciate (even if The Elf doesn't say) whichever yahoos are loaning The Elf the monies to purchase his rod of extendedelfwalk.
Cheerio. So...what to do in town? Anyone up for Troll Augurs?
Yes, thank you for the extra cash for the headband. I promise to pay you next Tuesday for a headband purchased today.
And of course we have to do Troll Augurs! This is Kaer Maga, for goodness sakes.
Well, lead on Waif! The Elf would gladly join you in such an endeavor. And besides, it is unlikely that the Rat or Halfblood have had the honors of meeting the Augurs.. :)
It's spelled 'ogres', folks.
I dont' know about anyone else, but I am in NO hurry to see a halfblood of ogre/troll heritage.
I know I might be being a bit uptight about accounting and treasure at the moment, but would folks be willing to do a quick count of how much their current gear is worth?
Fondo is approximately 38,000 gp.
Briar has a misleading 54K right now.
2000gp in crafted scrolls. (-1000)
4000gp in crafted belt. (-2000)
1000gp in crafted pearl. (-500)
4000gp in crafted cloak. (-2000)
2250gp in Party Wand of CMW.
And Briar owes 5000gp in loads for the Rod.
Briar's truer wealth might be (depending on how you count crafting) closer to: 54-5.5-2250-5000= 41250 gp.
Also, he has used some of his crafted scrolls, but that has been a surprisingly small value on them.
I'm asking about total worth of items, as that is how wealth by level is truly counted in terms of the wealth by level chart. :-p Though consumables are a bit tricky where that's concerned...
41000, give or take accounting errors. This includes the headband.
The full value of all items and consumables via Heroforge: 40,000
There's a few thousand in consumables, but most of it is gear: 37,225
Breastplate +1: 1350
Belt of mighty constitution +4: 16000
Cload of resistance +1: 1000
Handy haversack: 2000 (bought)
Headband of vast intelligence +2: 4000 (crafted=2000)
Pearl of power: 1000
Ring of protection +2: 8000
Ring of sustenance: 2500
Wand of Magic missile: 375
Boots of the cat: 1000 (crafted=500)
Gold on treasure sheet: 11,000
So, net worth is 51,000 give or take depending on your view of past used consumables and crafting.
Poisons 2,000
Ring of Evasion 25,000
Headband Charisma +2 4,000
Mithral Shirt +2 5,100
Boots of the Elvenkind 2,500
Ring of Featherfall 2,200
Handy Haversack 2,000
Amulet of Nat Armor +1 2,000
Gloves of Recon 1,000 (crafted)
Wakizashi of Badass 7,500
Gold and Misc 5,000
So roughly 58,300
The Ring of Evasion is a nice skew :)
An FYI to our party's many spellcasters:
Fondo's Tactician ability allows him to grant everyone the below feat twice per day, for 5 rounds. The upshot is that if you have overlapping prepared spells, you could get +4 to spell penetration checks, and +1 to CL. Fondo would be more than happy to be of service!
Allied Spellcaster (Teamwork)
With the aid of an ally, you are skilled at piercing the protections of other creatures with your spells.
Benefit: Whenever you are adjacent to an ally who also has this feat, you receive a +2 competence bonus on level checks made to overcome spell resistance. If your ally has the same spell prepared (or known with a slot available if they are spontaneous spellcasters), this bonus increases to +4 and you receive a +1 bonus to the caster level for all level-dependent variables, such as duration, range, and effect.
I so like making lists
cloak of resistance +2 (4k gps)
potion of remove disease (750 gps)
wand of cure serious (31) (11,250 gps)
2 wands of cure light (50, 50 charges 750, 750 gps)
Ring of revelation (10k gps)
rod of reach (11k gps)
mithral shirt (1100 gps)
MW Dagger (322 GPS)
hewards (2k gps)
wand of remove disease (8 charges) (11,250 gps)
wand blessings of fervor (36 charges) (21k gps)
73,072 gps
Barael checks his gear three times over, cinches straps tight, and waits for the rest of the group to depart. "We have our point of focus? Let's get to it, then."
10th level and he's worrying about water. So cute!
You're the boss, and I defer to you. But I'm not sure how an onlooker would distinguish bardic performance from really good encouragement. It has no flashing lights style special effect and no spell components. Just performance, which I've always taken to be either pretty exceptional singing, instrumentals, or exceptional oratory. It's a 'supernatural' ability, but I'm really unclear how it stands out in terms of the senses. I suppose if some tribal shaman had Detect Magic up full time, that'd make sense...
With a frothing face of fury strapped in front of him, I'm not sure how easy it would be for Nik to see Fondo performing, only hear him.
I agree it would be quite difficult to distinguish between bardic performance from encouragement and your bluff will be modified as a result. I just want to make it clear it's a breaking of the 'rules' or intent of the Sredna. I don't doubt your ability to get away with it...
I don't think it would detect as magic.
I guess my interpretation of bardic performance is that the performer doesn't even necessarily think of it as some magical intervention. He might know that his words carry extra weight, but would he actually think in his head, "For the next six seconds I'm going to give my friends a bonus to hit and damage"? I suspect it might vary, but don't think that's how Fondo is thinking about it most of the time.
Hrm. I don't think that's right. The performer knows when they're doing 'something special' and putting their all into the performance. Otherwise those rounds of supernatural performance would go away during the morning practice session over breakfast.
I think Fondo knows when he's doing something extra special. He has to. He orates all the time and only sometimes it's a 'Performance'. :)
I agree though that it's not thought of as 'magical' intervention. Just an extra effort on the part of the performer - an effort that takes a lot out of them and so they can only do it a few minutes each day.
Oh, well putting his all into a performance and knowing it's special is a bit different than thinking, "Now I'm going to give everyone +2." He knows he can be extra inspiring when it counts, but I don't think he thinks of it in the same way as, say, "I know I can cast magic missile once today." It's splitting hairs to an extent.
I'm leaving on a jet plane, I don't know when I'll be back again... A Slovenian wedding calls us over, and we're leaving tomorrow, back by Tuesday :) Feel free to drag the Rat along, Run-DMC style.
With both Barael and Fondo gone, we might just have to take a breather. We'll see how it goes. I don't like DMPCing as a rule - especially for 4 days with two characters.
Have fun and good luck to you both!
Barael, Have fun in Slovenia! As I said before, the people I've met from there were pretty cool. What an adventure. I'm totally jealous!
I shall try and make you proud, Charlie, with tales of mythic proportions ;)
Note to self and those who would learn from others' mistakes- don't try and pace yourself with the inebriated Slovenian musician. Anything greater than 3 drinks, and he's level from there.
I'll be very sparse over the next several days. Family is in town. I'll check in when I can, but GMPC Dandi for me, please.
"Being polite will help too." He looks at the elf.
Maybe he was pointing out that the rest of the party should be like you? That never occurred to you did it! :D
heheheh.
Maybe he was pointing out that the rest of the party should be like you? That never occurred to you did it! :D
LOL, no...for obvious reasons, that doesn't occur to the Elf.
Will be away all day. Dmpc as necessary.
