Oh! Hey! He can! That would make things much easier and cheaper for all involved.
Oooh, so it'll only cost me 4 grand?
Nixing the gold advantage in crafting was a houserule I implemented in the beginning.
Crafting does allow you guys to get what you want without needing to hunt it down and/wait as long.
Oh well. Easy come, easy go.
Little high, little low?
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me?
Should I go ahead an adjust my equipment for getting my gear improved?
Siolad never said specifically if he was going to enchant it for you or not.
If you're going to Magnimar I'll need some rolls.
I'm going to move things along today. I just need a definitive plan from Siolad in regards to plans for magic item crafting/shopping.
So, for Jessamy: Enchantment of Armour to get to +3.
For Ventus: 2 upgrades: +2 for Armour, and +2 for a Shield.
Should I roll my Craft (Armour) checks now?
You can roll or take 10.
So, taking 10 for all of them would be a 24 for each one. Would that be enough for the upgrades to their armour?
They were all getting base enhancements right? 24 is plenty.
:D
So... it'll take at least a week of game time before their upgrades are done.
Well you had a month so there's no time crunch.
Anyone know Shoanti? Apparently, I need to visit them to get a sturdier mount.
Coulda had a dragon, but nooooo you murder hobos had to kill it.
Nope, ah don't know no Sho-an-tee 'round here.
I don't know what Ensu would know. Latecomer is high maintenance....
I still need to figure out how to do my tabard. Merciful is the first one and Reach the second, right?
Oh yeah, I need to do the tabard too.
Slackers!
I always view the word slackers as a term of endearment.
Seriously though, Pirt Nok can lead me? I need to get this done before we move forward.
How far away was Hook Mountain?
By foot a week or so. By wing you could do it in a day or two.
Gotcha.
Gonna try and find a Ring of Deflection +1 in Magnimar with my remaining 2,000 gp
It takes a few days but Ventus is able to find a ring and buy it.
Excellent, that brings my AC up to a more respectable 25
I'm also out of town this weekend; I'm getting back Monday, but probably won't really be up to posting much until Tuesday (though it's easier for me to catch up on the games where I'm playing and not GM'ing).
Did everyone get their tabards sorted? I'd really like to get things moving again.
Let's do it!
I gots bad guys to filet!
Did you have something specific planned for the Shoanti for a mount? I don't know what you guys had in relation to them.
I can write something up and I can finish my tabard tonight.
I just have to add the tabard bonus to my sheet, but it's all decided.
Ready-ready
So my first thought is to ask to speak to the horse and see if she will tell me her name, but that might be pushing too much about what I know about some of the Native American tribes into this.
The other is to name her Warrior's Shield. Based on that is what Ensu does.
Since it's been weeks now I'm going to assume everyone's finished up shopping.
I'll get a big gameplay post up after work tonight.
So I picked up a military saddle and bridle and such. Anything else I should buy? I used the combat trained pony setup Feral, is that right?
So did we ever decide what Siolad is casting into dorfy's sword?
*checks*
Ah yes, Empowered frigid touch. Excellent... can we say you did that? ;)
Sure. Just let me know how much a scroll of that cost--I'm studying for an exam and don't really have time to look it up.
Oh, to add it to your spellbook? 150gp.
I am out of the office all day in a training. I will not be able to post until after i get home tonight.
So do we want more of a plan? Or just fly up and take 'em on? We should at least get some other protective spells up too.
If we all /can/ fly up, then let's do that. Siolad, do you have that many castings of fly?
If not, dorfy could probably carry the little ones (gnome/Jess).
I have 3 castings of Fly.
Ventus can fly with Beaks.
Alrighty, then I'll carry either Jess or Ensu.
Jess, Ensu -- you guys wanna draw straws? :P
Works for me. Let's do this.
How high and/or where are you guys trying to start things off assuming you don't get spotted?
I think ideally we'd like to get into charge range... Dorfy will probably be fairly low to the ground, both to blend in and so he can drop the gnome without injury. 10-20'?
What do you guys think?
That works, though it might make more sense to come at them from different directions -- we'll hit 'em high, you hit 'em low? Actually, if fly lasts long enough, we could perhaps come at them from above, where they'd be less likely to expect attack?
And I'd say Dorfy and Jess (and maybe everyone else) should pick one of the stone giants and try to take it out ASAP. Cut the biggest foes down to size more quickly?
Problem with coming at them from above is that I'm gonna have a gnome in tow and need to drop him off somewhars. I like the idea of coming at them from different directions, though... maybe if they see a gnome and a dwarf coming up the hill toward 'em, they won't be too suspicious... and the rest of you can get into a good position on their flanks.
