I'll update later but Lizzie does not have a vorpal blade outside of the Dreamlands.

Sorry today's been a bit of a battle with work and the kids, I only finished household chores at 11pm. Will update tomorrow.

Sorry folks it's gotten really late, I'll update tomorrow.

Hang in there, DM! Thank you for the heads up.

I was kinda hoping he'd get to try his next trick out on you lot, but his shields couldn't withstand firepower of that magnitude!

Hi all, I went out with the work team for dinner. Will be late when I get back, will update tomorrow.

Have fun

GM,

Do you want us to post what we want, whether or not we have money? You said "obviously you need to pay for it" previously, so I wasn't sure if that's what you meant when you mentioned the 50K sword.

If we can dream things into being, I am all for it, but just checking.

You could tell the merchant what you're interested in and decided if the price is worth paying. This is the dreamlands and many normal rules do not apply, who knows what they use as currency here?

Going to wait until somebody posts some actions :)

Sorry work has been nuts last few days (hopefully back to normal from tomorrow). Didn't get back chance to post.

Zarine, me saving the day is yet to be seen. :)

I deal an average of 12 dmg with smite active, but that monster won't have too little HP, i reckon.

Hey everyone, I’ll be out of town May 16th through the 19th. I may be able to post some, but can’t promise it. Please bot me as needed.

Been super busy last couple of days, I hope to update tomorrow.

Hey guys,

I'm an elementary school principal and this is the last week of school for us so I'm super swamped at work. I'll do my best to keep up but feel free to ignore/bot/whatever me this week until at least next Wednesday.

Thanks, Niles

No worries Niles.

Since time flies by, a heads up in advance.

I'll be away on vacation from June 12th until the end of June.
There is likely internet, but posting chances will go down.

Thanks for the heads up!

Sorry for the silence this week. I live in the area of Indiana where those tornadoes ripped through on Monday and actually got to see the one that sideswiped our house forming. House is fine, we are fine, but we were without power for nearly 48 hours and work has been crazy this week. I haven't forgotten you but time is going to be sparse until Wednesday.

Yikes.

Glad you're safe.

Well i royally f#+&ed up, and got f$##ed up, on that fight. I thought the captain was the one killing the two sailors who were unwilling to fight, not the slave master. I would have been going for him instead. Oh well, too late now.

Are there ways to get my armor lighter/further reduce ACP?

As is, i take a -4 ACP to ride checks, and mounted combat depends on higher ride checks to be of use.

Mithril Armour. Also extra traits and armor expert. Together that's -3 ACP. I bet there's some feats in one of the splat books too.

I'll be going to Origins this coming week so after I leave for work on Tuesday posting will be sparse/non-existent until I get back on Sunday. Please bot me as needed.

It would help me plan out the next section if I had an idea of what your next intentions are. You've unlocked a bunch of dream quests, although the boat is rather crowded so no occult rituals on the boat. The boat usually moors up next to dry land each night so there's always the possibility of sneaking off.

There will defiantly be some events along the way in the real world too, but the main thrust of this book in the AP is the dream quests.

So what do you plan to do?

We have months, right? Let's just fast forward down the river far enough where we can let the slaves free without them being recaptured and murdered, and getting our cabin back. I don't mind leaving the boat to do the dream stuff, but that is risky in terms of getting left behind/killed if we can't make the "exit the dream" rolls, and also battling/safety in this area where getting off the boat is a bad idea, which is why we aren't letting them off here.

Thoughts?

Also, how much should we give the slaves to get back on their feet? 300 silver/30 gold each? (14 @ 300 each = 4200 silver/420 gold total) Is that too much/too little? What is the cost of living in this area? Want to make sure they can buy new clothes and stay in an inn for at least a week while looking for work. (Just mentioning silver because most of the chest is filled with it... over 10 thousand.)

I agree with fast forwarding, assuming we have enough time. Besides the extra people themselves, the other complicating factor may be the red-sailed ship, but if we have to deal with that between now and then, that works for me, since we're going to have to confront it eventually anyway.

If people would prefer to start another Dreamlands expedition sooner, I don't mind, but it would be nice to be able to do a Sense Motive check or have some other way to determine if it's safe for us to be away from the boat for that long. We're basically relying on Winter and Skywin, and they're already stretched thin as it is at the moment.

30 gold is probably a fair bit for the average Golarionite (sp?). But knowing the cost of living in the area would be good to know before deciding on the exact amount.

Hey everyone, just a heads up that I'll be out of town this weekend (7/5 through 7/8). I'm going to Canada so I expect to still have internet, but there's a good chance I won't be able to post as often as I normally try to. So if I disappear during that time, that's why.

I hope Filbert comes back, I'd hate to have to recruit again now we've left Thrushmoor behind. From here on it becomes increasingly hard to justify story wise.

Yeah, that would certainly not be preferable. Even if he doesn't come back, though, we still have five. Maybe we could make due with that many? We might could keep Filbert on as a NPC in case we need his services.

Hey guys,

We have a tropical storm heading our way and i've been activated by the national guard to assist. I'll try to keep posting from my phone hotspot, but please understand if I can't

Thanks,
Niles

Ow,

Good luck Niles.

I'm taking the family on holiday for two weeks tomorrow. I'm expecting to have internet but if things slow down you know why.

Wouldn't be surprised if I made some mistakes there, lots of things to look up.

I will be out of town Wed thru Sunday at GenCon this week and unable to post during that time. Please bot me as needed.

Have fun!

So, who wants the dreamlands-only belt of +6 strength? I have a +4 dex belt already, which I would prefer to keep over a dreamlands-only item (and maybe even if it wasn't... for an archer it is a tradeoff between attack and damage, and I'd rather be sure to hit).

Who would benefit the party the most with it? Momijii? Is Strength her primary stat?

If you equip it in the Dreamlands that doesn't effect what you wear in the real world. I.e. you could have your cake and eat it.

Well, but I'd rather have Dex in both places... unless you are saying that we can wear more than one item in each slot while in the dreamlands. :)

Probably should go to Lizzie, I would think, or maybe Momijii.

Sounds good.

Yes, Lizzie or Myself. I use Str/Cha>Con>Dex as far as stat priority. My archetype lets me use Cha instead of Wis for Monk Abilities.

Either one of you are welcome to it. One of us can roll a tiebreaker die if you both want it. :)

It's amusing, since my three main stats are similar to Momji.

Str/Con/Cha. Though to be fair, i got the fancy dreamlands sword last time, plus i have my shield.

Do you have a belt already? I have a con one so if you don't it's all yours.

It'd leave you more vulnerable, if you did.

I don't think Lizzie has much if any magic gear. Lizzie you're supposed to have around 23500g worth of gear. Maybe you should go add some :)

Mary Poppins' magic bag of items is behind me? :P

I agree, I'd rather keep the con belt for the extra HP/saves just now. It's all yours Lizzie.

Lizzie we're using virtual wbl. Idea is simple every time we level up if you're behind on wbl you can assume you just found items along the way. No item can cost more than 1/3 of wbl.

Items you find in loot can bring you over wbl in which case you wouldn't necessarily get anything when leveling. Does that make sense? :)
