I would have joined that game if I hadn't been in a Dead Suns game already.
Now I'm regretting missing out. :)
So, are you going to make me ask?
There's not really anything on the loot list that Zhi would be interested in.
Predictably, my wife plays the archaeologist (lesbians tend to play lesbians)
*laughs*
Of course she's playing the archaeologist. Why am I not surprised? Cause that's how my life works, that's why.
*sigh*
If Maria's discussion with the Swan leads to murder, I apologise now.
Since we're not in a social scene, high rollin'!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
And Zhi's alignment slips closer to chaotic neutral.
Praise Calistria!
Yeah, well hopefully she'll have opportunities to shift back.
Vengeance taken!

Mel would like the Circlet as part of her share (and can offer her crown of blasting in exchange - unless I could get them combined Brainiac?).
Wow, beat me to it.
Zhi already has a Haversack. What self-respecting rogue doesn't. ;P
If Mel shows an interest then I'm positive that Zhi could find glasses of some sort.
In all seriousness, other than one of the CMW potions, Zhi isn't interested in anything specific there.
This doesn't include the gear from Bartelby or Gul. You also missed the stuff in the office, the wand of dispel magic, and the scroll of raise dead.
The spellbooks are palace property, so you can't sell them, but you can use them to learn new spells.
Still working here! :P
and no, not doing Bartelby or Gul - Zhi can do that!
I vote we leave the antiques but Mel & Zhi can take the bondage gear.

Nothing you don't already own but in better quality right Zil? :)
How do we want to split wands etc? I assume 1 potion each is fine!
The linguistics bonus from the spectacles is untyped, meaning it stacks with the +3 from the Envoy ring (which I had missed earlier). I can lend the ring to Maria so she can search over the papers and the library, preferably while also wearing the headband of vast intellect, regardless of whether or not we sell the headband and spectacles after the fact.
I'm sure Mel and Zhi have everything they need for a while yet.
Melodie was a good shopper. They haven't even used all the toys yet.
Erm... small snag there - Maria doesn't have any ranks in Linguistics and I'm pretty sure it's a skill you need training in.
... look; her dad was the one looking for forged documents and such, okay!
Martella can help you out when she arrives.
The spectacles of understanding remove that need, IIRC
Ah, indeed they do.
Ahk. Then yeah, I'll borrow the specs and take a look. Since Maria's Int mod is +3, might be worth borrowing the ring and headband for a sec as well, just to hedge our bets.
Or would the specs and taking 20 on it do the job?
With the specs and ring, you can take 10 and meet the DC.
I was checking the loot and noticed that Bartleby was also wearing a circlet of persuasion; I was wondering if I could have the second one. It won't stack with the Envoy Ring but that shouldn't matter much, given that it also boosts all other CHA skills.
Don't want to claim too many of the magic items and anyone else is welcome to it, but I'm also not gonna turn my nose up at boosts to anything, really.
And we shall diplomacise the world! Muwahahaha!

Individual Breakdown
Mel: Belt (4k), Circlet (4.5k), 2321.06 cash
Sara: Circlet (4.5k), 6,321.06 cash
Maria: Headband (4k), 6,821.06 cash
Zhi: 10,821.06 cash
Zil: Extend Rod? 7/10,821.06 cash.
Dunno if the extend rod is that useful to me, unless we start getting into ten-round fights and I need to extend prayer or somethin'. Might actually be better for Melody's enchantments and defensive buffs.
I'm happy to have it, but didn't want to claim since that puts me over a fair share of loot... :)
Feel free to take the headband at least; all the Int boost gives an Investigator is bonus extracts per day and another point of Inspiration. It might tie in with some talents, but I don't recall any.
Thanks for summing that up, Mel.
If Melodie took the headband, it would have to replace her crown. Although, I'm sure she could still wear it for special occasions.
Or, if Zhi asked really nice. ;)
At this rate I'll end up with 3 different headgear - Crown of Blasting, Circlet of Persuasion and Headband of Int. There's really no point in me taking it, although I wouldn't mind the boost! :)
I think a good silversmith could combine the circlet into the Crown! It'd cost bout 2000gp but it could be done :)
Did Zileska already cast the align weapons buff or will we hafta wait a round?
If we know in advance where to expect the thing, then I'll do the spell beforehand.
Hahaha, fair
You can cast it before coming upstairs.
As a wise robot once said; "Whelp, we're boned."
I'm pretty sure that if you make your save against a sahkil's gaze attack, you are immune for 24 hours, but I'm having trouble finding the rules for the subtype online and won't be able to check my PDF of the Bestiary until the morning.
The PRD entry has no such limitation.
The gaze attack is part of the universal subtype rules though, under "look of fear." I will check in the morning.
Sara, looks like you got a crit threat!
Maria, you previously claimed "the next piece of Constitution-boosting gear we find," so as far as I'm concerned, you can have the belt.
No problems with that!
Have we done it? Is the mansion cleared?
If so, then there's a fluff storm coming! :D
Clear for fluff storm!
You will have two persona phases as well before the princess and Martella arrive.
Hey, Sara ...
Zhi and Sara spend a fair amount of time as flanking buddies. What do you think about taking the teamwork feet Outflank at the next opportunity?
It would give them an additional +2 to hit and AoO when the buddy crits.
Zhi is going to be putting Keen on her rapier asap so she'll be crit fishing.
At some far-future date I'll probably pick that up after I have Improved Whip Mastery, since that lets me threaten stuff out to 10'.
I can see that already - don't turn your back on the lady with the whip.
Wait, shouldn't that already be a thing. ;)
~~~
Finally get 5 ranks of Subterfuge and that gets me an extra feat: Stealthy. Oh, I already have that. :P
Melodie's plans in chronological order (at least I assume its chronological)
1. Talk with mother (she'll get here soon right?) Zhi has to meet her and I have parental issues to sort out!
2. Wedding Planning!
3. Hand over Palace to Eutropia
4. Wedding!
5. Honeymoon
6. More plot.
I said fluff storm!
@Maria, Sara: do you two want a role in the wedding? Zileska is going to perform the ceremony and (IC and OOC) we want to include you if you'd like to be. Exactly how that works with Sara/Zhi being ex's etc... well... we can work it out! :D
Since you already have Stealthy, you can replace it with another feat that you qualify for, Zhi.
@Zhi, in re Outflank: I have all of Sara's feats mapped out for the next book or so but I do get martial flexibility four times a day (ten rounds each), so if I don't want/need to do something else with the ability and just flank and power attack, I can flex into Outflank as a move action and gift us that bonus (providing you already have the feat), but off the top of my head I think my next opening is at level 12 or 13
Sara's immediate priority is cleaning up and looking nice for her date with the Night Swan, though she's very anxious about it. She also wants to have a private talk with Zhi and now that she's not hiding and pretending to be a servant, to bring her whole peasant revolt up in Stachys or Lotheedar, you know don't rise against but demand fair treatment, know your rights, you're not lesser than the nobility just because of a difference in station, be self sufficient when we leave and don't let the whole place go to seed for no reason. I'll write up the fluff later.
Nice, that puts me at max capacity for ranks in anything until level 7, four new agents, access to advanced operations (!!), and the choice between Persuasive and Dazzling Display each persona phase (spoiler alert, I am always going to choose Persuasive).
Sara is comfortable being in the wedding party. Melodie has been a friend in one form or another for a long time, and she does love and care about Zhi. As far as them being exes, she's thoroughly over Zhi, growing more and more disillusioned with the memories of their relationship as Zhi's and Melodie progresses.
Ok, I'm gonna pass on the rod, and spend 15.1k on gear upgrades, which will be part of the persona phase days of messages and letters and deliveries and packages and whatnot.
