DM Fflash's Shackled City Campaign

Game Master DM Fflash

Crafting / Talking with Skie

I would like to pursue some dialog with Skie, if she was serious about a partnership or just being friendly

Partnership? Not sure I understand where you got that idea

Raising Sam

A quick jaunt to Skie's turns up the scroll is still there and she warmly accepts your magical items for sale (no tax on those sales either) and sells you the scroll.

"Please, now, come tell me of your most recent adventures and where you got these wondrous things! I know you need to run off and take care of your friend, but I expect stories! And I need to put your name on my store. You've given me more business than most anyone in a year or more! What shall we call you?!" the sprightly gnome hollers after you as you rush to meet up with Jenya.

The part about putting our name on her store, sounded partnershippy to me

Skie

Ah, no ... there are a ton of names of adventuring groups on her store ... shingles with gnomish writing on them. Preferred customers along with associated discount.

Crafting

I am going to make myself a Belt of Physical Might +2 Dex/Con

Spell Craft DC 12 - 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31

Should take 10 days, not sure if you overachieve like that if you can speed it up, can't find any rule on that

Here are the checks for Epik items. Each will take 4 days unless I can speed it up with those rolls.

Belt of Giant Strength - Spell Craft DC 13 - 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
Spell on list but I don't know it +5 DC

Headband of Charisma - Spell Craft DC 18 - 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34
Spell no on list and I don't know it +10 DC

I can find anything on that Crystal of Armor Summoning (Whatever it's called) Can you spec that out for me so if Magma and Nemoris want one I can make it?

Skie

Ah, no ... there are a ton of names of adventuring groups on her store ... shingles with gnomish writing on them. Preferred customers along with associated discount.

Ok perfect, thought it might just be her being friendly.

Any thoughts on the trading items for items for more value with her?

Crafting

Epik will approach Gurzenon about enchanting his masterwork full plate to +1.

Crafting

Epik will approach Gurzenon about enchanting his masterwork full plate to +1.

Lord Gurzenon i would like you to meet my friend Epik who i am making the Greatsword for. Could you Add to +1 Ac to his Armor

Crafting
Dragon Hide Armor (1 day) Cost is 315gp (2 x 150 gp (mw)+15 hide armor)

Hide Armor
1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
MW component
1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

Greatsword (3 day) Cost is 2315gp ( +1 2000 gp + 350 (mw) and Sword)
1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

Living Arrangements

What is the cost to adding 2 levels to my Aunt shop if she is willing

Then depending on her business we maybe able to use the store front and workshop

Crafting

Tike is there anyone in town that can make Lessor Rods and level 1 wands? Or do we have to travel to the larger city for that?

Crafting

You can buy divine wands from the temples. Arcane wands may be available at Bluecrater for members. Have to check the Faction page.

Note the larger city, Osibu, is currently unavailable.

I will be posting Jenyas stats soon. May consider giving her a crafting feat.

Magma, when you craft it's half cost (for the masterwork component etc.) Enchanting is full cost, but you can trade in the longsword for half it's enchantment value (not material since you're using that). You missed the mw component roll for the greatsword.

Factions

Bluecrater Academy

Sam will seek out Nowzai to discuss joining.

"Nowzai, I was wondering if you could provide me with an introduction to the Academy. I have been seeking answers as to my fathers true name and they seem to have the best library in the city and I am always an active seeker of knowledge."

Hellknights

Not sure how I would go about finding more info on these guys, I will just put out feelers

Pathfinder Society

I am assuming they just have an office in town, I will just head there and inquire about membership

What about Lesser Rods?

Crafting
MW
1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

No rod, ring, staff crafters in town.

Factions

Nowzai nods, "I will sponsor you, if that is what you wish. It will require an examination of your knowledge and a not-insignificant membership fee." After a moment's pause, he adds, "Or, if it suits you, I would be willing to plumb the academy's library on your behalf. I may be able to find the answers you seek, and save you the cost."

Factions

Sam smiles, "Thank you Nowzai, I am actually looking forward to the chance to learn in a true academy for once in my life, for too long I have been self taught and I know that I have areas that I could grow."

Sam continues, "I would, of course, welcome your help and insight in the hunt for my father."

I think all I need is a knowledge Arcana DC 20 and 500gp to join is that correct Tike?

Knowledge Arcana - 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

Factions

Nowzai shows a rare smile. "The library is my home away from home. I would be happy to assist."

Factions

I will also approach the town guard to see if they have any jobs that need doing. Any bounties for any criminals in town, etc. Ultimately I would like to pump them for information on what's going on with the taxes, their thoughts and what I could do to help

Crafting

Lord Gurzenon are there any problems or Quests that the Church of Torag need taken care of?

Have you Heard of Any mithral Deposits near the Cauldron or the surrounding area?

Finding a home
"I think we should look for a place in the Magma part of the city. It will afford us a secure home, some prestige and safety from the floods."

Magical items
Dalamus is going to head down to Skies and discuss if she is able to acquire any additional items. Namely rings.

"Sam are you able to craft a bad of holding? i would greatly appreciate it, if you are able. I will even buy you a drink while we discuss it. To The slippery Eel! What do you say?"

"Sam, I will also buy you a drink if you can fabricate a Headband of Alluring Charisma."

Probably +2 unless our cash split is enough for a +4, along with the great sword and armor enchantment.

Crafting

You sailors keep buying me drinks I am going to think you got som'ting else on your minds...

Dalamus

"Yes, lets go grab a drink and discuss, maybe we can get ourselves into a little bit of trouble" Sam smiles and starts to walk to the Eel

"As for your bag, yes I can easily make you one, they are quite handy to have." Sam pauses and thinks, "Truthfully you might also consider something like this handy haversack I am carrying. It has several pockets that hold far more then it appears and the great thing about these are that no matter what I am looking for, it appears at the top of the bag based on my needs" Sam rubs his chin "Though the bags of holding can hold far more and I can make you whatever size you would like."

"Something to consider on the bag of holding as well, is that we currently have 2 bags in the group, for only 2500 more gold I could upgrade one of them to a 1500 pound carry capacity."

Haversack

Bag Of Holding

Epik

Sam smiles at Epik, "Of course my friend, though if I do say so myself, you are quite the charismatic man already." Sam chuckles, "There was something I wanted to speak to you about as well, would you introduce me to your crusader friends? I feel like I would have much to offer their ranks as we both want to destroy demons and evils and the rest of their ilk."

I already made the roll for a +2, it doesn't change if we want to move it to a +4 so just decide which you want. 2k gold or 8k gold.

Worth looking at these, Bracers of the Avenging Knight

For any class these are a steal at 1,000 to craft

Amulet of Natural Armor

Crafting

Sama'el, I've heard you mention that you can create magical items. I'm really interested in a belt similar to the one that we found on Zenith, do you think you could craft something similar with strength and speed? Can I help, and what would it cost?

I also have this cloak and wisdom periapt, do you think either of these could benefit from your work?

Crafting

Nemoris

Not sure what your cloak is. But odds are good I can increase which ever one it is

The cost for increasing stats is the difference between the two. So if you have a +2 it was 2k to craft and it's 8k o jump to +4 you pay the 6k difference.

Crafting

Yep, just roleplaying

Crafting

"Sam that bag is actually quite useful, in fact that is exactly what I was looking for. Something ordinary, light and capable of carrying....my sort of things."

Factions

Epik nods at Sam, "Of course, I would be happy to sponsor you. Let's head over at the next opportunity."

Crafting

Dalamus, so you want the Haversack?

Crafting
Yes the haversack would be great. What is the total cost to create it?

Crafting

Dalamus Haversack - DC 19 - 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30

1k Gold for the bag

Crafting

Crafting for myself.

Craft Belt of Dex +4 - DC 13 (Crafting twice as fast +5DC)- 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36

Crafting

10 days spent crafting, not including Epik's crafts yet as it depends on if he is doing a +2 or a +4

Factions

Epik - "Thank you Epik for being willing to sponsor me, I look forward to meeting the person in charge and learning how I can assist in the removal of more devils and demons from this plane"

Crafting

Nemoris

"So my friend, which item would you like me to start for you? Once I get something created for everyone we can look at other options for you"

"Depending on your trust in me, I can attempt to craft your item faster, and we could possible get more then one item created for you, it is much more difficult and can lead to the item not functioning at all and then the money is wasted, I leave it up to you"

Belt DC would be DC 12 with no rush, DC 17 with rush and I am at a 17 spellcraft so little to no chance of failing

Crafting

Certainly Sama'el, I know little about this magical crafting, but I certainly don't want to monopolize you! Let's work on the belt for now and I'll trust in your judgement to choose to craft it quickly or not.

I don't know if you are in need of a bow, or arrows, but I'd be happy to craft anything for you that would be of use.

Double time is fine, I'm not sure how the mat stuff works, but probably just tacks another 500-1000gp onto the cost, and for me at least that's only if I fail by 5 or more.

Crafting

Nemoris Belt - DC 17 (Double Time) - 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29

5 Days spent, 15 days total

Crafting

"Sam since we are here chatting about all the great things you can make, and now that I have you loosened uo with a few drinks....I am always interested in the Boots of speed. I think they could really help with my role in our group. What do you say, are you able to make them? If so...about how much will you be charging me? You know you were always my favorite right." Dalamus smiles and pats Sam on the back.

"Server, another round for my friend and I....and I want a plate of that stuff over there. Sam do you want anything to eat?"

Crafting

After introducing Sama'el to the Academy, Nowzai approaches him a couple days later. "Sama'el, in my research, I came upon a text describing an enchanted headpiece, like a band or a circlet, that significantly enhanced the wearer's intellect whilst worn. The others speak of your magical crafting skill, and I think one such as this is within your ability. I can provide the enchanting spell and will be happy to assist in the construction."

"What do you think?"

Looking to craft the headband of vast intelligence +4, with associated skills of Perception and Sense Motive. I'll provide the money for the base materials and the scroll of fox's cunning.

Sam nod to Nowzai, "I actually crafted one for myself, Sam removes the headband to show Nowzai the craftsmanship. It is a fine leather and metal piece with the symbol of Irori in the center of the band "This isn't quite as powerful as you are requesting but I should be able to create it"

DC on it without the scroll is 18, I have a spellcraft of 17 so really no way to fail, but if you get the scroll I can fast craft it for a DC or 13 and again, no chance to fail

I could also fast craft without the scroll and I would need a 23 so I would need to roll a 5 or above. I will leave the call up to you

Cost will be 8,000 in mats, scroll cost is 150

If you won't fail without the scroll, we can skip it.

Crafting

Nowzai Headband of Int +4 with Perception and Sense Motive - DC 23 (Fast Craft) - 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

23 days spent crafting

Magma, time to let me know if you want anything made or I am going to start on 2nd items for people

Crafting

the Str belt you were making for Epik i will take since i gave him the the belt of +2 str and con.

+2 dex bracers are the only other item i need

Thanks Sam

crafting

No bracers I know of with dex, link it if you can

Magma's Belt of Physical Might Str/Con +2 - DC 17 Fast Craft - 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

days spent crafting - 28

crafting

No bracers I know of with dex, link it if you can

Magma's Belt of Physical Might Str/Con +2 - DC 17 Fast Craft - d20+17

days spent crafting - 28

make it dex and str

Don't forget Epik's belt, either to upgrade or pass to someone else ... Dalamus?

Don't forget Epik's belt, either to upgrade or pass to someone else ... Dalamus?

Since it all kind of happened fast and loose, Sam could also have just added Dex to Epic's str. belt and passed that to Magma.

Just a thought!

Will have to wait on a ruling from Tike on if I could just add dex to that belt for the difference, would be 3k instead of 5k, but there are some rules about adding stats to things increasing the cost by x1.5 so he would just have to ok me adding to that belt one way or another

Since it's 2 distinct predetermined items, I'm OK with the straight difference upgrade. The 1.5% multiplier is for when you want to add invisibility to your ring of protection.

Magma allowed Epik to have the belt we found. No need to fab another belt for Epik.

Crafting

But Epik already had a +2 belt that was in the mix, still, correct?
