It was just a wand of charm person, if it makes you feel better. :)

Zil just likes having wands and rods in her cleavage. :)

I read like eight or nine games I'm not in, and one of them I ended up joining, replacing Alyssa from your Changeling game

Interesting. My GM alias shares that pic with about 3 people.

Unless you mean Ahreni, in which case don't worry. She drops quietly out of the picture fairly quickly. :)

Nope I mean the hand, I try to pick low count avatars for all my aliases. It's my mount in a game I just started


RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.

In which case, I got there first! :P

Yeah but there's only three hand avatars in the whole selection and this one is by far the best


The red square on the map indicates the trigger squares for the trap.


Maria, since you knew these creatures are weak to cold iron weapons, I'll let you have retroactively purchased some cold iron crossbow bolts if you'd like.


Zhi, does your 23 AC include your danger sense bonus against traps? If not, the trap will miss you.


Pre-Marriage Alias

No it doesn't. Thanks for noticing that.


Okay, editing my post.

Thanks, I'd forgotten about that and had been assuming Maria would be fighting in melee, rather than at range (Investigators are a melee class, after all).

So just 2 gold for 10 cold iron bolts.


Poor Zhi! Desna is laughing at you.


With 1d4 hours of shopping around, you can find some potions of lesser restoration. Or you could buy scrolls of lesser or normal restoration from the church of Abadar, or pay to have a cleric cast the spells for you.


ADVENTURE PATH COMPLETE

Scroll's the cheapest option. One scroll of lesser restoration = 150 gp. If we can find a temple that has a few lying around and will part with them. I have enough cash on hand to get a couple.


Yep, you can buy some from the temple of Abadar.

Oh f@*# I want that belt (although I am crazy out of WBL already and it would be good on Zhi and Maria also and I don't need it, and will let others have it if they also want it) also who should bear the flag? None of us have a pole already, but we could easily get one, strap it to someone's back.

It could become a rallying symbol for Sara's protests if it was given to her, but also, no reason I need two relics imo


Game Concluded

The only real benefit that Zhi would get out of the belt would be the additional hit points. Not that that's a bad thing. She doesn't really use strength for anything and cat's grace while transient gives a better bonus.

Sara or Maria would most likely get better use out of it.

Sara's also the only one I could see utilizing the banner. Just gotta get that girl a spear.


Female Human Fighter (Cad) 13, Brawler 2 | HP: 55/185| AC: 19/17 (11 T, 17 F)| CMB: +19/+28, CMD: 28| F: +19, R: +12, W: +7| Init: +7| Perc: +17, SM +12, Dip +45, Intim +39| Speed 35ft| Martial Flexibility 3/4, Serpentine Tattoo 3/3, Beast Form 2 (Lion) 1/1, Terrible Cost 5/5| Active Conditions: N/A

B#*%! ain't using a spear, any pole will do. Get one of those t-shaped banner poles, I could train my ravens to rest on it, actually use their intimidate aid another I trained them for and teach them how to do the falconer swoop maybe (if allowed)

I would f&~*ing love the belt tho, like 84 HP at level 7 as a not barbarian? 18 STR, more AC, my two handed damage will increase from +10 to +12, like hell yeah, I'm into all this

But again, I can give it to Maria I just want it like real bad


RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.

Shiny stuff! :) (3310gp for the various mundane bits btw :D)

Mel could spare a feat for Flagbearer if we want to use it that way, but would the charging be an issue? Perhaps Sara should take it beat people around the head with it - that would explain the morale boosting effect!

Also how are we doing on wealth? Sara says she's well over WBL - does that mean someones under or is this AP just very well looted? We should each have 23.5K at this level. Mel is slightly over, about 25K right now.

[On that note Mel is still carrying a Pearl of Power 1st level. Zil - take it! I don't need it and can't use it anyway!]


Female Human Fighter (Cad) 13, Brawler 2 | HP: 55/185| AC: 19/17 (11 T, 17 F)| CMB: +19/+28, CMD: 28| F: +19, R: +12, W: +7| Init: +7| Perc: +17, SM +12, Dip +45, Intim +39| Speed 35ft| Martial Flexibility 3/4, Serpentine Tattoo 3/3, Beast Form 2 (Lion) 1/1, Terrible Cost 5/5| Active Conditions: N/A

I can probably fit Flagbearer in my list as well? My fighter bonus feat for next level is flexible: don't yet qualify for what I was initially going for and was looking at both Improved Trip and Outflank instead

Personally, I think this AP is just flush with cash for a 4-5 member party; looking at my list it's not as bonkers as I feel, but I'm used to low magic item games.


RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.

I'd prefer that you take it Sara - I can, but I've been aiming for Subtle Enchantment for ages and I need Greater Spell Focus pretty soon so while I could take Flagbearer I'd be happier if you did! :P

We'll all benefit from the banner anyway so no worries about who 'has' it really :)


ADVENTURE PATH COMPLETE

Take the belt, Sara. Party utility > strictly adhering to WBL. (We're a chaotic party anyway, who needs rules?)

Unless Maria wants it - works well for both of them and we should give her a chance to toss her $0.02ASD in!

Also, stabbing the guy was very clever, Zileska


ADVENTURE PATH COMPLETE

I mean, sure, Zhi would really benefit from it as well, I'm just saying, I don't care about WBL so much as utility.

Well for the sake of utility then - have a 1st Level Pearl of Power! :)

I'm deleting it from my sheet now so hang onto it or we'll lose it forever...

also, Zhi, have the +1 silver dagger back. Mel's swapping it for the masterwork one you stabbed her with!

Won’t be able to make a proper IC reply until after work (lot to get through and I hate typing long posts on my tablet). But was the belt ever identified in-character? Or even out of character? All I see in the gameplay thread is that it’s magical.

EDIT: Nevermind, I’m blind. Just saw the note about what it was.

EDIT2: If Sara doesn’t mind then I think Maria’ll take it. Maria still feels kind of squishy to me so the CON boost would help, and the Dex wouldn’t go amiss since she’s a finesse-based combatant. And the Strength wouldn’t hurt either for the next time she uses her sap.


ADVENTURE PATH COMPLETE

Pearl moved.

I super want it, but Maria did claim the first Con boosting item we found when she got eaten by a catfish, and I am always willing to defer

Also, Maria, your statbar still says you're level 6

Mel's gotta stop giving her wife presents. Not counting the stuff we just found, Zhi is a little over 50k.

That's going to come out again in some future argument, isn't it? Guilt is so much more powerful then a masterwork dagger. ;)

Crikey - maybe I will hold off buying you that next gift I had planned! :) Although a quick glance at your profile I count around 30K, not 50.

And yes, if you force me to use it! Or you can just admit I'm right? ;)


The APs usually end up giving out more loot than WBL recommends. The assumption is you won't necessarily find everything, or sell some of it for half value.


Game Concluded

See what happens when I don't audit periodically? You're correct; it works out to just under 37k. :)

After every fight
Just apologize
And maybe then I'll let you try and rock my body right
Even if I was wrong
You know I'm never wrong
Why disagree?

Although I don't know the value of the musical note necklace. Not that Zhi would ever sell it.

I'll get around to fixing that now. Keep forgetting to do it after levelling a character up on their Google sheet (which reminds me; still need to fill out that field on Theodric's profile in our Return of the Runelords campaign).

And, in hindsight, I think Sara should take the belt. Maria's probably better off as a flanker or just not being the first into melee in general. Plus she's probably gonna need the extra CON if she's wearing red in front of a pair of divs. :P

EDIT: I also need to start making better use of Maria's extracts. So many buffs on here. Although using them all rapidly would remind me of a bit from this Monster Hunter World animation (namely the bit from about 6:52).

I appreciate it immensely, ^^


Still need Zileska's actions. I will have her delay if she hasn't posted by later tonight.

I really hope this gambit works; as soon as I heard they hated red I wanted to do this, v glad we got into a fight with two of them.


RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.

I'm just hoping the less damaged one fluffs his fort save, 5 damage isn't much pay-off for a level 1 spell!


Melodie, please make a caster level check to try to overcome the pairaka's spell resistance.


RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.

Rolled and failed in gameplay! :)


D'oh! Sorry! :(


RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.

Don't worry - I did forget, I just went back and edited the post to save doing a new one! :)


I know. I felt bad for your failure! :)


RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.

Terrible round followed by a very not terrible round so far...
