GM Dak - Second Darkness

Game Master Dakcenturi

I agree we should get it running again. The Gold Goblin seems to be a part of the campaign, and it may also be a source of additional funds in the future.

I'm not opposed to setting aside some money for the Goblin, but I think a 5th part of the treasure seems a little much. Shouldn't it, hopefully, be MAKING money, not taking that much to run? Maybe a smaller contingency fund would be better.

Okay. So I've gone over the list, and I think I've accounted for everything that we found. There are still some items that it looks like we never identified. I would assume that we would have identified them with the week, but I'll leave that up to Dak. :)

Let me know if daily Spellcraft rolls are needed :P

Also, I believe the magical Chain Shirt is a +1, and Hedran is using it for now.

I went ahead and grabbed a dagger from the list.

I agree with taking the 250 to get the Gold Goblin back up and running, but I also think a 5th may be too much :P

Updated the magic items. Over a weeks time you would have been able to figure them out.

I'm interested in the +1 rapier, with the rapier being my primary melee weapon.

That said, I'm more of a ranged character, so if anyone else wants it, feel free to take it.

EDIT: Also, I'm feeling like it would be great to do a loot division and purchases before Devil's Elbow. I think we suffered for lack of magical weapons on that last fight.

Sorry for the slow posting. Been busy the last couple days and likely won't have much time today either. I'll get caught up tomorrow.

No worries, Nessa. I certainly can't claim to be doing any better. :)

I have no issues with Sarai having the Rapier. I don't think any one else would use it. Does anyone want that +1 leather armor? Or should we just sell it off. Otherwise, I think anything of major value has been spoken for, aside from the potions. but I think that those can be doled out as needed. Thyra can heal herself, as needed so maybe give the other two to Hedran and Nessa?

Yup, I will grab one of those pots :D

All good for selling the armor from my end,and also for Sarai to take the rapier.

Haven't heard from Nessa about this, but assuming we go this way, this is how we're looking for loot distribution:

Cameron: 1903 gp, 8 sp.

Hedran: Dagger, +1 chainshirt, CLW potion; 1265 gp, 3 sp.

Nessa: Wand of Levitate, CLW potion; 1823 gp, 8 sp.

Sarai: +1 rapier, CLW potion; 731 gp, 3 sp.

Thyra: +1 amulet of natural armor; 903 gp, 8 sp.

That being said, I just realized that this table is dividing the gold by 6, rather than by 5. Should we modify it so that there isn't an extra share?

EDIT: NM. I just went ahead and did it. We've kinda already been over this territory. GP values have been adjusted to reflect.

Let me know if there is anything that anyone else wants, otherwise I'm going to clear the slate and start fresh. :)

Also, I just figured that we would probably contribute 50gp each to the repairs and hiring of the new staff.

Hehe ninjad my post asking you all to finish dealing with the loot :P.

As a side note, for the loot I would recommend instead of clearing out the old one, duplicate the tab and clear that, so you have the old for reference just in case. Can hide it so it doesn't get confusing, but I've found this can be helpful occasionally to look back on.

That sounds like a good ides. :)

Thanks for handling the loot, Thyra! I'll go ahead and take the rapier, a CLW potion, and 731 gold!

Purchases:

Noble's clothing
4 potions of Vanish (Please note that from now on, I will be carrying one of these potions at all times with my tail. In other words, I always plan on having it ready to drink)

No worries. Just wanted to make sure that everything was covered before we divvyed up the spoils.

Purchased MW Breastplate and sold off her chain shirt. Not sure if there is anything else she needs, immediately.

@Sarai I mean are you like walking around town with a potion in your tail or... I get the idea, but it seems kind of strange to just always have a potion in your tail :)

Hmm--maybe not around town, but certainly when we're investigating places. Around town, just in my bandolier.

I didn't see any responses but did anyone else think taking the journal to the Cypher Mages to look at, or a copy of it anyway, would be worthwhile?

Yes worth a shot.

I agree with you Nessa - let's give it a try.

GM Dak, I was planning on buying this stuff for Hedran - would it be available before we depart?

Cloak of Resistance +1 1000 gold

Scroll of Obscuring Mist 25 gold
Scroll of Shield x2 50 gold
Scroll of Expeditious Retreat 25 gold
Scroll of Monkey Fish 25 gold
Scroll of Keep Watch x2 50 gold
Scroll of Burning Hands 25 gold

Total spent would be 1200 gold

Thyra wouldn't know much about these Cyphermages, but would agree to the idea, as long as everyone else was on board. :)

@Hedran Yes, you can find those items.

I did purchase three potions of cure light wounds at the temple but otherwise I don't think I need anything else just now.

I might get a wand of cure light wounds for the party. A partially charged wand of lesser restoration is probably a good idea too.

This is a great idea, and I'm embarrassed not to have thought of it earlier. It's a MUCH better use of funds than buying healing potions.

If we all contribute 150 gp, we can buy a fully charged wand. I'm in, if everyone else wants to do that.

I'd be okay with that. Thyra could also use it, if needed, but Cameron would definitely be the keeper. :P

EDIT: Also, don't forget everyone's share of the 250gp for hiring the new staff and manage (50gp a piece).

Good idea Cameron. Does that mean -200 gold in total then Thyra?

Is it just me or the loot is pretty slim? :P

That sounds right, if we're pitching in for a wand.

Don't forget that we all (except for Nessa) came in a little late. Not sure what kind of loot we missed. We did get to start with extra GP, though.

Sounds like we're all in agreement. Please take 150 gp each off your gold and we'll be the proud owners of a new wand!

I honestly don't remember there being all that much before. I kinda think the first book of this one is very sparse but as there's very little of use to casters this low of a level I haven't paid that much attention.. It may also be, in part, because this was written for dnd 3.5, not the actual Pathfinder 1st ed rules so that may be a part of it as well.

I can chip in for the want as well, I still have four or five hundred gold after the potions.

Yeah there honestly hasn't been all that much loot and it may be a symptom, like Nessa mentioned, of it originally being keyed for 3.5. I'll keep an eye on things and make adjustments if it starts looking dire.

Cameron is going to save up for a mithril breastplate. That's 4200gp which will take a couple of levels before he can afford. He'll also want a +2 wisdom items as well at some point. We'll have to see if this AP gives those out, some do, some don't.

Thyra will eventually be looking for the same thing, in armor, but she needed an upgrade sooner rather than later. Also need to get her hammer enchanted.

Hey all, I forgot to mention I'm on a quick vacation for President's Day weekend. Posting will be spotty, so feel free to bot me.

Enjoy Sarai!

Yup, sorry for the delay on my part as well. Crazy week rolled into crazy weekend, but back at it now.

Just realized, missed it by a few days but happy 1 year anniversary of me taking things over :D

Huzzah! Here's to many more! It's been a great ride so far. :)

Woot!

Quick check: Because of Paired Opportunist (and being an Inquisitor, I automatically treat everyone as having the same Teamwork feats as me), does Thyra get an AoO against the one zombie?

None of them were within reach. They were all 5ft away. The one zombie you attacked you essentially CDGed

Wohooo!! Happy anniversary everyone :D

Okay. That's fair. I just wanted to be sure it was taken into account. :)

Wow! Time flies when you're having fun! Thanks again for your great work as GM. I know that's a lot to ask of you, and I hope you're having fun, too!

Dropping a note in all my games. I will be away this weekend, potentially through Monday. Heading to Space Camp with my son for a cub scouts thing so likely won't get an opportunity to post.

Seems like a lot of fun Dak. Enjoy!!

Sorry for the delay all. Been sick all week, finally got meds over the last couple days and taking a turn for the better.

No worries at all Dak. Make sure to recover fully - these times are no joke...

Indeed, luckily mine was all bacterial, just bad timing. Most likely it was from having the kids home who then proceeded to infect me with their little bacterial infections :P

Ouch--stay safe!
