DM-Camris' SECOND DARKNESS Part 1 and 2: Children of the Void (Inactive)

Game Master Camris

Totally forgot that. Hit Dice: 2d8 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

All Nakoda really wants is a Heavy Pick made out of the star metal, cashing in on the Dwarves' offer to have them forge it. Depending on what's going on next, she'll make purchases as necessary.

Ok, so I *did* switch to Moonlight Stalker.

In terms of reward, would Zephram be able to get a little time with the Cyphermages and showing him a few spells (that he can convert into alchemical forumlae)?

Beyond that, Zephram would be delighted to get a Noqual Chain Shirt made -- assuming that the thing can be enchanted later -- and assuming that the rest of the group doesn't mind using 12.5 pounds of the metal -- he'd certainly throw in the small amount he's been hiding away. (Not being a spellcaster, it's a pretty snazzy thing for him).

So, we get 1 item from the Cyphermages of up to 2,000 -- and then need to worry about the splitting/sale of the remainder, is that correct?

I am thinking that grabbing a Handy Haversack would be a good deal.

As far as anything else goes, Rezol's pretty comfortable with just taking his portion of the gold we earned.

In terms of reward, would Zephram be able to get a little time with the Cyphermages and showing him a few spells (that he can convert into alchemical forumlae)

Yes, you certainly can.

Zane would have his cane remade from Noqual. He can re-enchant it afterwards.

All right boys and girls, fair warning here.
This Adventure Path is notorious for taking a sudden left turn out of the Riddleport area, and despite the friends, contacts and enemies you may have made here, it is unlikely you'll be back.

That's fine..Nakoda wants little to do with Riddleport now. Every Shoanti that has joined her quest has disappeared. Including a prospective husband. I've been trying to convey it, but it's been a bit vague because of... Well. This last part has been a bit... rushed.

Rezol honestly doesn't care as long as there's a good fight to be had. I don't think there is terribly much he'd need to do in Riddleport (maybe spend some of the money we earn to improve his gear if it's possible?) but after that he's fine with heading to Splitsville.

Zane's definitely got "something to do" in Riddleport, but since we don't know that things won't lead us back there whatever happens happens. So we're better off blowing our money ad getting tricked out right?

Well as a cyphermage I'll have a long list of scrolls for you soon.

Liz is okay with it.

Off to Paizocon! Back Monday-Tuesday.

Ideally, I'll spend some coin from the split (or from the underboss) to copy spells into formulae so I can do more than fly with my level 3 slots -- and then, as I said, if people don't mind, look into a Skymetal Chain Shirt. Since I have time, I'll figure out what I'll be grabbing over the weekend -- though it'd be good to know what total spending looks like.

This'd be my scroll list. will calculate the prices soon.

Expeditious Retreat - Protection from Evil - Comprehend Languages - Shield - Gust of Wind - See Invisibility - Mirror Image - Command Undead - Ant Haul - Daylight - Stone Call - Fly - Touch of the Sea - Water Breathing - Endure Elements - Teleport - Silent Image - Blur - Glitterdust - False Life

So I'm hoping to have a nice wizard give me access to spellbooks containing some or all of these spells so I can copy 'em into my formulae book:

1: Comprehend Languages, Detect Secret Doors.
2: Blur, Invisibility, Levitate, Protection from Arrows,
3: Animal Aspect (Greater), Arcane Sight, Aura Sight, Displacement, Draconic Reservoir, Elemental Aura.

SO what is up for the next part? How do we handle treasure shares and such?

Good questions. :)

Nakoda is going to pick up a Skymetal Heavy Pick, and a Light Pick-- might as well get both of them masterwork with something befitting a hawk clan member.

How much of the things in the caves were we able to scavenge? Mostly, I just would like to have secured enough to make some non-magical upgrading to the things Nakoda owns. Given that we have most of the avenues covered, I'll look into getting her some all-around utility.

I thiiiiink she's carrying enough to get something enchanted, after paying a funeral tithe to Kharn's family.

Who was handling treasure tallying before?

i don't think anyone was.

That is.. not good.

Well.. I've been running treasure duty in a few games and wouldn't want to have to do it here. My suggestion is everyone look over the list and make claims on what they want, split potions and scrolls between people and sell everything else.

wand of cure light wounds (32 charges),
scroll of charm monster (x2),
drow sleep poison (10 doses);
+1 banded mail,
+1 heavy steel shield,
+1 flail,
masterwork hand crossbow with 10 +1 bolts,
cloak of resistance +1,
silver circlet worth 350 gp
210 gp
drow poison (5 vials);
+1 mithral chainmail,
buckler,
+1 hand crossbow with 20 bolts, Liz
masterwork short sword,
ring of feather falling,
slippers of spider climbing
120 gp
8 potion of cure light wounds;
8 masterwork chain shirt,
8 masterwork small steel shield,
8 masterwork rapier,
8 masterwork hand crossbow with10 bolts
55 gp
Behind the main support pillar, there is a small lagoon, the sandy shore is piled high with crates and goods.
When investigated, you see they are primarily tools and supplies they used to move the meteorite from the crater to this area, to repair the platforms here, and other sundry supplies needed.
The supplies include:
two block and tackles,
10 square yards of canvas,
50 feet of chain,
five crowbars,
three fishing nets,
six grappling hooks,
four hammers,
six hooded lanterns,
a set of masterwork shipwright’s tools,
a set of masterwork carpenter’s tools,
a set of masterwork tailor’s tools,
a merchant’s scale,
seven miner’s picks,
14 pitons,
two 10-foot poles,
a portable ram,
200 feet of silk rope,
17 empty sacks,
and two sledges.
Mixed in with all this mundane gear is a crate containing four bottles of 4663-vintage wine
from the Terverius Wineries of southern Cheliax. Each bottle is worth 300 gp.
A small, unlocked box on the main platform:
contains two potions of lesser restoration, three potions of remove
paralysis, five potions of cure moderate wounds, and a potion of
neutralize poison. All are labeled in Undercommon.
Shindiira’s darkwood trunk contains more than just the 53 pounds of noqual harvested from the meteorite.
This ore creates a rough layer along the bottom of the
chest;
atop it Shindiira has laid several changes of clothes (including two sets of noble outfits sized for an elven woman and worth 60 gp each) and a set of ostentatious costume jewelry worth 5 gp.
Also in the chest is a silver scrolltube worth 150 gp that contains several maps—
Devil’s Elbow (before and after the meteorite strike),
Riddleport, Celwynvian, western Varisia, and all of Varisia.
Perhaps the greatest treasure in the chests, though, are the three books wrapped in silk and leather and set along the left side of the chest.
The first of these books is Tsalkaean’s Bestiary, a book written in Undercommon that grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Knowledge (dungeoneering) checks to identify aberrations and oozes and is worth 200 gp. Zane
The second is a well-read book called Thoughts on Varisian Customs, written in Common and worth 10 gp. Zane
The final book is a slender journal, written in a script unfamiliar to any of you. Zane

So say, a potion of CMW for everyone and a potion of CLW as well

Our DM hasn't returned. Anyone know if theya re around here or another board?

That's certainly worrisome.

Vaguely. This has been going for a long time. I doubt they've vanished entirely.

He posts in spurts

Oy, I really need a vacation to recover from Paizocon...

Alright, first things first. Has the treasure been disposed of/divided up to everyone's satisfaction?

•If no one wants that +1 Mithral Chainmail(40lbs), Nakoda would melt it down and get some of it made into the light pick(6lbs) that she wants.

All of the skymetal was put into Liz's pack.

If we account for improving equipment at the camp, we can nix all of the chain shirts, half of the bucklers, and half of the rapiers? That +1 flail might also be well-employed(not accounted for in gold total).

Not sure about the armor and shield, though.

I thought that I'd posted that Zephram wil grab a masterwork hand crossbow and some bolts, since he's proficient -- but I'm thinking it got eaten.

I would think it's well worth keeping the other potions as group (contingency) loot.

So the question is how is the split handled (of 8300 or more) given various people taking various items (the cloak for instance)? [Do people buy out the items they've taken, for instance? -- not that that's the best way, just as one of the "new" folks, I wasn't here for past splits]

In terms of the item from the Cyphermages -- are they willing to allow Zephram to pay the difference if he's looking for an item work a bit more than 2,000gp? [Also, wasn't sure which of the spells he'd be able to copy for...]

And, in terms of Noqual, in an ideal world, he'd have a chain shirt made (for the properties of Noqual, he's already got +1 leather lamellar) -- which would take 12.5 pounds, but he's got almost half of that hidden away himself.

Rezol will take the Slippers of Spider Climbing if nobody wants them. Giant angry half-orc attacking from the ceiling would be hilarious to see.

Liz has the +1 handcrossbow and a CLW/CMW potion

As for the other potions, perhaps a group pool that can be yanked out as needed.(Like the remove paralysis and neutralize poison)

no other claims

I'm fine with however you guys decide to sort the treasure. This is the first time that Nakoda's ever really taken some of the available things, and that was only because no one else claimed anything. Between the favors and payments that everyone has available, the question would more accurately be, "Who wants something that they can't afford at present?", would it not?

Liz is set for armor and weapons so she doesn't need the bucklers,shirts or weapons.

Zane can't use 95 percent of it, but definitely agree on the potion pool.

I'll make an in-game post once we settle on a division method. I don't want to mistakenly assume anything.

Well I suggest equal coin shares and picking things out of the item pile. Just as long as someone doesn't try getting huge amounts of stuff.

So has everyone made their claims and the rest can be sold off?

I'm assuming so. It's been quite a while.

Perhaps something to consider, after a certain amount of time after the list has been posted, all unclaimed items are automatically sold. We can PM everyone when treasure is found for claims, this can help speed up things and avoid 'Hold on! I wanted that!'

Not the worst idea. Keeps things moving which is excellent.

I'm good with that.

I'm willing to give it a try, at least.

Looks like the 'ayes' have it. So Me'mori can sell everything off and give us a final total.

Alright. With the slippers removed from the pool:

Liquidated Gold: 15990gp*
*This does not count the 5000gp worth of jewels from Zincher
______________________________________________

Nakoda's List is:

Masterwork Skymetal Heavy Pick: (6lbs metal, Favor from the Dwarves)
Masterwork Mithril Light Pick: (3lbs mithril, Separate dwarven order)
(2112gp cost) How much is the Dwarves' discount?

The Heavy Pick is going to get enchanted to +1 (2kgp Cyphermage favor)
Glow chance @<31: 1d100 ⇒ 53, No Glow.

Masterwork Shortbow +1: Standard Purchase
(2330gp cost) Glow chance @<31: 1d100 ⇒ 39

Handy Haversack (too handy)
(2000gp)

15990/5=3198 gp each

Liz buys a Wand of CLW for backup healing with her UMD skill. 750 gp

15990/5=3198 gp each

Erm.. I didn't account for the 50% resale on that, I don't believe. *sheepish* 1599gp each before rewards.

Well it looks like we are ready for the next chapter
