Mouse - do remember you can attempt an Acrobatics Check to reduce the falling damage, if not the acid damage! Should've worked for the first time you fell down the hole, too. You should be able to get the first 10 feet of the fall both times.
EDIT: Also - as far as I knew, using a wand also provokes an attack of opportunity. I've rolled an attack in my spoiler for the wanding (damn wands of magic missile, they're mean!), so I'll leave it up to the GM to decide whether or not it applies!
EDIT 2. No, that's scrolls. Ignore me.
How far away does Li get before she is no longer frightened? Can she even make it back this round, having been hasted and all?
I hope Li sneak attacks that traitor Kynes
Yay!
@Li: A turn to flee, a turn to return, so next round you'll be back in the action.
@Garvid that was boilerplate from my prior post. Ignore the magic missile damage :).

I'll have the changes in my character sheet shortly. I also discovered I never got my level 10 changes put in...my bad.
I wasn't quite sure I trusted my numbers, so I redid my character sheet in Herolab to make sure everything was correct. Most of it was, but a few things changed slightly (I'd somehow given myself an extra point of to-hit for my attacks, I mistakenly had Escape Artist as a background skill, and I'd shortchanged myself on my CMB/D for some maneuvers). Also, I didn't realize that Anticipate Dodge had Dodge and Mobility as prerequisites, so I switched that feat out for Improved Grapple. My bad, but everything should be accurate now. I'm not sure any character gets to 11th level without some kind of record-keeping error. XD

I know that's true!
Last call to claim loot. I'll be cleaning up the sheet and announcing a distribution tomorrow. You'll be able to shop before heading out into the Cinderlands!
I'll take the wand of dimension door, as that'll free up a spell slot for me. Thanks!
Edit: and the figurine of wondrous power (elephant)!
Nothing there that Kynes cares about much.
I've claimed all that Mouse is going to take.
I feel like someone should get that CL 9 wand of meowgic meowssiles.

Please let me know if you spot any errors.
Edit: the "Tracked Resources" sheet will be deleted. Please continue to track your own consumables.
Some GMs don't want any individual item to comprise more than 25% of a character's wealth. Are you ok with me breaking that in order to get celestial armor, Wicked?
Go for it!
I want something more interesting than a better cloak of resistance :)
Teaching resumes this week! It might be a day or two before I get to post again...
Good luck!
GM - quick question, are you allowing for magical items to be combined for an extra 50% of the cheaper one's price? If so I'd be very interested in purchasing a Cord of Stubborn Resolve to add to my +2 Belt of Mighty Strength.
If not, I might just save up for something else down the line, but I'll be asking a local dwarf to make my halberd's blade adamantine.
I'm not familiar with those rules. Can you share a link?
Is it possible for Li to find someone to make her new armor also have the Shadow ability? If so, how much would that cost?
Here's the d20 post on it. I'm fine with either ruling, just to state, it's just that I've mostly ran with the rule allowed, since it does something to help the martials have nice things in the double digit levels!
@Li, you can. The cost should be (cost of +2 light fortification shadow studded leather) - (cost of +2 light fortification studded leather) = (12,925) - (9,175) = 3,750 gp and 4 days of crafting.
@Garvid: am I understanding correctly? Walk me through it if I've got this wrong...
For most other items, GMs should use the multiple different abilities rule to determine the item’s new price: increase the cost of the new ability by 50%, add that to the total price of the item to get the new price. Then subtract the old price from the new price to determine the difference, and determine how many days of crafting it takes to cover the difference.
Example: Lisa’s paladin has horseshoes of a zephyr and wants to hire Patrick’s wizard to add the powers of horseshoes of speed to her current horseshoes. Their GM, Jessica, decides that this is a suitable item and tells Lisa and Patrick they can proceed. The price of horseshoes of speed is 3,000 gp, increased by 50% for the multiple different abilities rule to 4,500 gp. Patrick’s wizard must spend 5 days and Lisa’s paladin must pay 2,250 gp (half the 4,500 gp price difference) to add the new property to the horseshoes, resulting in an item worth 10,500 gp (6,000 gp originally + 4,500 gp for the new property).
Garvid has a +2 belt of mighty strength and wants to add the powers of a cord of stubborn resolve. The price of the cord is 15,000, increased by 50% for the multiple different abilities rule to 22,500. Crafting takes 23 days and Garvid must pay 11,250 (half the 22,500 price difference) to add the new property to the belt, resulting in an item worth 26,500 (4,000 gp originally + 22,500 gp for the new property).
Huh. That seems right, I completely forgot about that magic crafting takes a LONG time. Would be pretty much my intention, though I don't think we can afford to spend 23 days in Kaer Maga.
Depends on what would be reasonable, I suppose. I could definitely go without one.
I believe there is room in the narrative for an extended stay in Kaer Maga, if the rest of the party is okay with it (Li's armor will take four days to craft, afterall). During this time conditions in Korvosa would worsen, which is entirely consistent with the line of the story. In that case, it might be wise to ask Yazi to cast a sending, lest Cressida worry that you've fallen into harm's way.
On the other hand, if a sense of urgency compels it, it's also possible to enter the Cinderlands now and return to Kaer Maga to claim your order after the passage of the requisite time.
I have a +2 Belt of Giants Strength (4,000gp) and would like to get a +4 Belt of Giants Strength (16,000gp). I could buy for 16,000gp and sell for 2,000gp, making the net 14,000gp.
Or is it possible to "upgrade" the belt from +2 to +4 directly?
From your reply to Li, that would be 16,000gp-4,000gp=12,000gp+crafting time?
@Kynes the above concerned custom work. You can find a straight upgrade and simply pay the difference.
Oh, Garvid will definitely be against wasting time. I'll go for something else instead, probably.
Mouse, I found this Which I imagine you'd be rather interested in. A +4 armour would effectively cost 16,000, so perfectly affordable.
EDIT: To avoid double posting, I'll probably decide on what to get either today or tomorrow. Is it okay to replace the halberd's blade with an adamantine one?
Yazi would like a +4 upgrade to her headband of inspired wisdom.
I'll upgrade my Headband of Intelligence +2 to +4 while we're at it, costing me 12,000gp after I sell my +2 version.
Also, would I have time to create scrolls while we're here? Or perhaps during our journey hence? Is there a place where I can purchase new spells?
@Talfryn the timeline is really up to the group and I'm okay with a stay-over if the group wants it (see my response above to Garvid).
As to learning new spells, it's likely the Therassic Spire (The Great Library). The library is an attractive destination to many sages (and worth the hefty sum the caretakers charge for admittance [the cost of scribing]) because it constantly acquires texts without bias or scruples—no knowledge is forbidden, no matter how powerful or profane.
@Garvid I definitely considered brawling armor, but overall the increased AC and utility application of celestial armor seemed like more what she'd go for, especially after being stuck in a burning pit of acid for half the last fight. All her issues with hitting have been more bad dice rolls than modifiers anyway. It was a tough call, though. ;)
Purchases:
Upgrade from +1 to +2 on Scarf 6,000gp
Upgrade Cloak of Resistance from +2 to +3 5,000gp
Boots of Speed 12,000gp
Potion Heroism 750gp
Gravelly Tonic (x10) 500 gp total alchemical, but no time to brew.
Selling:
Headband of inspired wisdom +2 for 2,000gp, which Kynes stupidly wore at the same time as a headband of vast stupidity (apparently).
I never played a character before with enough equipment to worry about slots :)
That leaves Kynes with 458 gp
Are we going to be using rolls/city statblocks to determine whether items are available to buy? I'm not sure Mouse would be ok with 23 days of waiting for celestial armor, and there are enough ways to get what she wants that it's not necessarily worth the wait.
As a non-custom order, you can assume the armor is available.
I believe we'll be waiting a few days for Li's armor to be crafted? Any other matters inside the city?
Woo! I'll roleplay it once we get to the Unbroken Wheel, and I'll get my statblock updated a bit later.
If the group doesn’t want to wait 4 days, Li can leave the armor while we go into the Cinderlands and use what she currently has until she can pick it up.
I've posted an introduction to the Cinderlands. I'll plan to push forward tomorrow or Monday, if everyone is ready.
Hey guys, just a heads up - we had some shakeups at work, so my schedule's turned from going around every day to being on call every day. Which is generally fine, but I'm having some issue readjusting to the schedule. Might be a little patchy for the coming week!
Li's purchases:
adding Shadow property to armor: 3750
upgrade amulet of natural armor to +2: 6000
cloak of resistance +2: 4000
She would like to get more crossbow bolts and some Bane crossbow bolts. It's 2000gp for 50 bolts would you allow 50 Bane crossbow bolts broken up into 10 bolts each against different Types? If so, she would get
10 x abberation
10 x humanoid (human)
10 x monstrous human
10 x Fey
10 x Outsider (devil)
Scarf, filter: 5gp
