That seems a good way to do it.
Now that we have a moment, we can get the arrows and potion identified.
From Senjin's Share: 350 for the armor and bow and then what ever the arrows fetch.
Yes, the "sell" price for calculating impact on share.
In the morning, Neva'll use Detect Magic on the potion:
Spellcraft:
If that doesn't work, she'll grunt displeasure and smell the thing
Perception:
For the dagger, if Rutter doesn't really want it, Neva will take it. I won't use it often, but it's my deity's favored weapon and my only melee choice. (Not that I ever want to use it, so you get first pick!)
ID the arrows and dagger too. That way we can finalize the division based on gp value.
It was Jericho that piped up about the Dagger, but it is not his special sword breaking dagger, so his interest may be lukewarm.
It's a potion of cure moderate wounds. Also, remember that Zellara's Deck can use Identify three times per day.
Ok, Id like someone to double check me, but I think I have most of the math done up for us.
2314gp worth of cash/coin/jewels including our 1000gp reward.
183.5gp from selling the generic gear that the grunts were carrying, since noone specified they wanted it.
That totals 2497.5. Divided 5 ways, thats 499.5gp each.
That does not include any of the better stuff we got, which I list below with the selling price:
Mwk Chainmail- 150
Mwk Spear- 151
15 magical arrows (assuming they are just +1)- 300
Mwk longbow- 200
Magical silver dagger (assuming +1)- 1011
Potion of CMW- 150
So, unless someone opposes, I think the easiest way is the 'you pay the sell price for it back to the group' method, so your really not out any cash, as you can sell it for the same amount you bought it for.
I think the Potion ought to be set aside as 'party treasure', while the rest either gets bought by someone and the gold split amongst the rest, or just sell it all and split it.
So, whatcha guys think?
Sounds good, Copper.
Neva'll use the deck to identify the arrows and the dagger. I'll post something about that in character later, but I have to go catch a plane!
Rutter wasn't interested in the dagger - it should be medium sized - I was just using that as an example. Oh, and agree on the potion as 'party treasure'.
OK, Potion is a group item.
If no one wants the knife, it will be 861.9 to each (4309.5 / 5 = 861.9)
If someone want the knife, it is 824 to the remaining four with 151.6 to be paid later by the dagger holder to the four as a sum(37.9 each) or 189.5 into the pot to be shared back to all 5 (perhaps the easiest way to bookkeep it.)
Senjin will take the bow, arrows, and armor (especially the armor-he has learned to appreciate a few extra AC points) as part of his share.
Is your figure of 861 each counting for the share of gold the rest of us will get from you taking the armor, bow, and arrows?
Is your figure of 861 each counting for the share of gold the rest of us will get from you taking the armor, bow, and arrows?
Yeah, I added everything in there as if it were sold at that price. Senjin just gets less cash/more gear (211 cash/650 gear). If anyone wants the spear, subtract that amount from your cash. The dagger is the only tricky item.
Sounds like no one wants the knife, since no one has spoken up with a definite yes by now. Im gonna go ahead and add my 861.9 to my sheet. If it needs to change, I'll alter it. Dont think there is anything I need to buy right now anyway.
Sorry, I should have stepped in before all the math got done, but the silver dagger is going to be a bit hard to price accurately. Since it radiates magic, but Zellara is unable to identify it.
OK, 659.7 pg apiece. With the potion and the dagger considered group property, whoever wants to carry each of these speak up.
Senjin takes 9 gold and 7 silver and his gear. Will have his updated profile done tonight.
*edits gold*
Personally, I think someone who has at least 19hp ought to take the potion, since that would allow them to still be conscious at 0hp and get full benefit of it. While I do have 19hp, I dont ask for it, since you guys take more damage than I do, being on the front lines and all.
The dagger, I think, ought to be held at least for now, by someone who could use it, or perhaps WOULD use it. Rutter or Jericho either one are fine with me.
Too big for Rutter...If Jericho doesn't want it, Neva should take it..she should carry something defensive..and if it is all mysterious..maybe she is the right candidate for it.
I'd understand if Cloud doesnt feel this way, but Ive always played it that a medium sized dagger could be used as a Small Shortsword or a medium shortsword as a small longsword.
I know there is the difference in the pierce/slash a dagger does and the pierce dmg a shortsword does, but its close enough for me.
Like I said though, id understand if Cloud didnt feel the same way, it being a houserule and all.
Neva'll hold the dagger until we figure it out.
Profile up to date now.
I'm fine with the medium dagger = small shortsword houserule. After all, if it works in LotR, it should work here, right? ;)
Profile updated, ready to roll! I'll keep the dagger until we discover it's a "-2 cursed dagger of aggressive involuntary proctology". Then I'll give it to someone else. :-)
My apologies to everyone. Still getting into the groove of my new job. I think I've got it figured as far as scheduling, and how much time I can spend online.
I think the days of posting every day are behind me. :(
I'll have my level 2 figured out by tomorrow, and will take whatever leftovers from the split are available.
Level 2 HP:
Just as a heads up, Im taking my vacation from work this Friday May 27th through Monday June 6th.
Normally, Id be able to post from home, since we arent travelling anywhere for more than a few days during that time, but weve been having bad weather lately, and my internet is being wonky. I can try to post from my phone during next week, but if you Im slowing the game down, feel free to bot me.
I'll let you know when we get the internet working at my house again.
Cloud, I was curious...is Jericho still addicted to shiver, or has he gone through detox in the dungeon?
Did everyone have a nice holiday weekend?
Are we moving forward today?
Perfect weather here. I am fixing up an old house, so lots to keep me busy on long weekends.
Jericho, regarding shiver, it's up to you. The dungeon would have provided you with the opportunity to detox if you wanted to. I imagine that the physical addiction is broken, but I'm sure that a strong mental pull remains.
Did we lose Jericho? Player hasn't posted under any alias since 5/25.
So Jericho (and his other aliases) havent posted on the boards since May 25th, pushing three weeks ago.
Should we try looking for another player?
He is DMing a Second Darkness game I am in too. He had moved and got a new job a little over a month ago, and he found the long commute was just draining him. He made a few sporadic posts but then just stopped. Hasn't popped in to just say it is too much or anything, so we are left waiting there too.
My $.02 is that we just move ahead with the four players we have. We're posting regularly, we have a decent party set-up and the game was designed for 4 players. Sure, 5 is obviously better, but we'll go faster this way.
What say everyone?
Its fine with me as long as Senjin plans to stop dropping like a sack of potatoes at the beginning of every fight. ;)
:P What can I say? Crits like me.
I don't know that I'd recognize Senjin without a sword in his liver. :-)
Sounds good to me, I think that the party is pretty well balanced as is, and that fifth spot has been hard to fill. I've been dragging the action a bit, waiting for Jericho to post, but I'll go ahead and move forward with the foray to Eel's End today. I'll probably DMPC Jericho for a little bit.
Still with us, Cloud?
DM Cloud: Hope everything is ok. If you'd like to take a formal hiatus from the game, I'm sure that's fine with everyone. I'd hate to see this group end, but I'm beginning to understand the day-on-day work involved with running one of these things.
So, I for one would not be upset if you took a break, if that would help.
Maybe a July 5th reboot to the old posting schedule? Just a suggestion.
A formal break from the game is fine with me, though that would indicate Cloud needing to respond in order for us to know we are taking an 'official' break from the game.
Not hatin, just sayin.
@Copper: agreed. Was just trying to provide some potential solace to our MIA DMC. Providing a solution before I know the problem...my specialty!
I say we go ahead and look for another DM. Do we want another player, as well?
Works for me, but look for them at the same time. if we get alot of players wanting to join before we get a GM interest, we shouldnt wait to vote on a new player.
We are going through a DM an encounter. That is a rough quota.
Do we smell? Senjin just took a bath. <smells armpit>
Whoever we pick as a new GM, Id prefer one who can manage to consistantly post more than once a day. As good as Cloud is/was, the game was moving too slow for my taste.
Posted an ad for GM & player here.
Sorry Folks. I am going to officially give up hope on this. You have been a fun crew that stuck out losing three players and two DMs..well we kicked one player out :p. I don't think I currently game with any of you in another PbP (which is odd as I am in a few), but I am sure the future will provide more opportunities.
I am moving Senjin over to a new Crimsom Throne/Kingmaker hybrid designed by one of my current PbP DMs (DM Barcas). It was a dilemma to hold out hope for this game that someone might pick up this game or apply for a chance to game with one of the best DMs on the boards who had just opened a recruitment. I figured no harm in applying as if I didn't get in I could continue to wait for this game to pick back up. But, I did get picked and so alas I will retire from this one.
I think we had a good core of four and have had fun. It is a shame that we got only got as far as we did after 6 months. I hope you have luck reviving this game, or getting these characters into another CofCT, it would be good to see them live on. Take Care.
Later, Senjin! Thanks for playing with us, and better luck next time.
I'll be sticking around for a bit a longer, but it doesn't look good, eh?
Im beginning to agree with Meowzebub. This game has been frustrating for me far mroe than enjoyable. If we arent able to find replacements by the end of the work week, I think Im going to drop as well.
What do you two think of the three we have interested in the game?
Aardvark seems fine to me for a GM. I kinda think he might be getting in over his head with how many games he is going to run and play in, but thats just my own bias of it being too much for me, lol.
As for the players, if we wanted to go to 5, Id be fine with having both Rayne Nevermore and Filios (or his dwarf anyway) being added. Im in another game with Filios now, so Id probably prefer him if we chose only one of them, cause I know he is an attentive player and frequent poster, though if you guys like Rayne more, Im fine with that as well.
Let's accept Aardvark's offer and accept both players. Rutter?
Yeah, I'm still here and no intention of dropping. I've had to slow down the posting pace to 1/day, due to getting a new manager that actually expects us to work. Pfft. Anyways, I'm in other games with each of you, so I trust the three of us can continue with this.
I'm fine with the applicants for both DM and players.
