DMDM's Way of the Wicked, Part II: The Dark Tower

Game Master Douglas Muir 406

ok I'm going to go through the corpses and list the items for us.

Once again, standard PC behavior -- looting the bodies of fallen comrades -- becomes a lot more straightforward when the PCs are evil.

So, no interest in trying to raise Edmin or the Judge. Okay.

YES!!!

gotta loot them to pay for their resurrection...

besides who wants to be the one to tell edmin that we sold his ax to res him? bleh

Edmin must live!!!

ok it looks like edmin has 4,238.4 GP so we could get him razzed.

Edmin do you want us to do that? I know it is meta, but you have the money.

Same question to you Judge, though to do it, I don't know where we get the money. We could sell you slippers, and your haversack (Xens was worth an additional 500 or something like that) or your headband) as it looks like you had no money

here is the loot sheet though I have not totaled up how much things are worth

ok judge we could sell your haversack, feather step slippers and mithril shirt for 4050 and you could get ressed

let me know what you want to do and Ulp will RP it

I know it is meta, but no reason not to let people play what they want to play

Its more than 5000gp to get a raise dead. You have to pay the caster...and then there is the 2 negative levels...it ends up being more like 8000gp when all is said and done.

Negative levels are a 4th level restoration with the 1000gp of diamond dust to make it happen...sorry Dren will not be selling everything he has to make that happen...

Ulp barely knows them.

Ooooo

Well if one of you wants to make a new char then I don't mind getting the other raised. However I am not selling my gear either.

I will let you two discuss

I would like to keep the Judge if possible. If not, I really like the idea of a vampire, it just feels strange to make another vampire character. I would have to decide how to play it and what to play.

I would prefer being raised if possible.

Bag of Holding - 2500
Goblin Skull - 1300
Headband - 2000
Slippers - 1000
Haversack - 1000
Mithril Shirt - 1000

Really, I have no problem selling everything although I would prefer keeping the Bag of Holding, otherwise it will be tough to carry my coffin.

Note the chart your haversack is actually worth 2000 cause you took xenfals that had the secret word feature

Edmin must live, the axe is the last thing to go but sale what you need to to make it happen.

MW, L sword
MW plate
MW Shield
+1 plate of the dastard
+2 belt of str
+1 G axe

In that order.

Edmin we already sold the MW plate

with a little luck that scythe is magical and there is something that ulp finds in the hovel

Is zimu gone?

I don't have detect magic only spellcraft so Dren or zimu has to is the gem

ok loot sheet is updated and i took all their gear off cause they want to be raised.

i put it in my profile

Total cost to raise a single person and remove their negative levels is a minimum of 6, 210 GP.

Raise Dead: 5000 GP
Paying to cast raise dead: 450 Gp
Restoration: 100 GP of diamond dust x2 or 1000 GP x2
Cost to cast Restoration twice: 560 Gp

I leave it to Edmin and Judge to see what out of their gear would need to be sold to make up that amount of gold.

Its the two times the 1000gp version. So total to get them back is 8010gp each.

Can we re-handle the scythe for some cost and then sell it?

Ha, clever. Knowledge [local] to find a suitably skilled and ethically sketchy weaponsmith type, and then it'll cost you. (Jax, did you give your cohort Knowledge [local]?)

I think we have lost zimu

I pm'd her a few days ago

I would be amazed if she has disappeared. She seemed to love this campaign. Perhaps school and work is interfering. Although even for that, this seems like a long delay.

i expect a post from you two exiting the flat when you are raised btw

also dmdm did you see that Jax used Ulps identify potion to identify the gem an gloves?

Does anyone have the Inner Sea Gods book? I know it just came out recently. I was interested in what the Deific Boons are for Asmodeus. If I have to, I may purchase it because it sounds interesting, but if I can get the info for Asmodeus and other major devils, that would be greatly appreciated. The devils might also be in the Infernal book that came out a while ago, which I also do not have.

Does anyone in the party have a high enough Use Magical Device to have a good chance of casting from a scroll?

I think Dren does...

loot sheet is updated. I am putting everything on it and the value until someone claims it

to see it go to the bottom of ulps profile

I do in fact, have knowledge local.

Unless it is a druid spell, either Dren or Cy should be able to cast from the scroll without UMD (depending on whether it is divine or arcane). If their CL is less than the scroll's CL, then they will have to make a CL check equal to the scroll's CL+1. If they fail this, then they have to make a DC5 Wisdom check to avoid a scroll mishap.

The scroll is only wasted if they fail the CL check AND fail the Wisdom check.

Scrolls

I believe a scroll of a level 5 spell is much, much more expensive than the 450 GP it costs to have someone cast the spell.

True, but if we found a restoration scroll or raise dead scroll, that greatly reduces our costs.

+50g Chain Shirt
+85g MW Shield, Heavy Steel
+157.5g MW L Sword
+2000g Belt +2 Strength
+2500g +1 Full plate of Dastard (keep if possible)
=4792.5 for equipment

+4238g (on hand)

=9030.5g

looks like you will be able to keep your armor there edmin

I notice he doesn't even list the axe.

I have an excellent UMD but as stated above that spell is on my list so I just have to make the caster level check. I might have about the smae chance using UMD as the caster level check.

20% spell failure chance for caster level difference.
UMD check is DC 20 vs. my check of +17...only a 15% chance of failure. If someone has the ability to boost my skill check through a spell or similar then I can almost tap it.

Dren also has 1000gp that he could donate to the cause of the two dead people. He would consider it an investment to help the mission succeed. You would just owe him.

So do we sell the ioun stone and the gloves? Seems like zimu should take themgloves

We found an Ioun stone?

Yes mossy green disc +5 to planes

And the caster gloves

I have them on the loot sheet

The redcap carried it around, but didn't use it. No interest in the planes, and floating stones are annoying.

It would be great for football practice, he could have spent all day trying to kick it.

OMG EDMIN and the Judge died!

OMG!

I have 94 posts in gameplay to catch up on and 80 posts in discussion to read.

I was checking 4 to 5 times a day about a week before I got hit with a lot of work, schoolwork and even more work.

There were no posts 8 days ago and I still checked once since I had to focus on school and work and the last post I read was DM was really busy.

Sorry I will try to catch up in the next two days.

OMG EDMIN and the Judge died!

To everyone,

I am sorry I thought we had slowed down and not been posting and I just checked there are over 94 and 80 posts in two threads I had not seen, I have been a BAD Player! Sorry! I hope my being away was not the cause of Edmin's death, I saw the Judge die and was sad but now I feel even more terrible.

I had finals last week (this week is just papers but still time consuming), two jobs and also guests in New York, and finally Mother's Day. I think I average 4 hours sleep at best and I was just hit with exhaustion and fatigue.

I told DM, as a short example, Sunday night I walked the highline (when you come to New York you should definitely consider taking a walk) from work to my home and later on that evening it took me two hours to realize I walked home! I was in like out of body experience. And I still have trouble falling asleep.

I have work and a paper due by mid tomorrow but I promise to post later this week at length.

When I found out the Judge died lat week I thought the best way to Raise him is either getting funding from the Baron or by using our ally Trik from the other Knot.

Elise will find out we are weakened but it will save some resources to pay for the two castings of the spell.

Lots of Diplomacy there.

Well, not how I pictured the end of Edmin. Killed by the Travelocity gnome.

That's funny but still sad!

Can we use Trik from the other Knot to bring you back?

Valar Morgulis, and all.

Boo. I hate Valar Morgulis.

I never heard of him.
