An argument could be made for staying out or going back. As Korinne said, this is an important development. Might be wise to inform Kesten there is a non-aggression so there are no breaches of contract before we get back. But the likelihood of that is very low so we could stay out a few more days. Maybe not 11 days but we aren't in any rush to return. And even with the two quests I don't think we'd level.
I will be camping this weekend. Regular posting will resume Monday!
Let's do some RP. Still like Kava to get to know you all.
Kobolds pacified at least in the short term.
Yay! Level 3. That means my blackblade will start talking now too... That is going to be weird for a while, I think.

Putting this message in all my pbp.
Sorry about not posting lately. Just recently got a new job driving for Uber. Will try to post later tonight.
Loot dissemination:
Gold: 74.2 + 245.3 + 510 + 551 + 130 = 1510.5gp
Leather armor: Give to Hatch
Short sword: Give to Hatch
Silver stag amulet: Keep for obvious reasons now
Bear traps (12): sell ?gp
+1 flaming crossbow bolt (7): sell 20 per bolt for 140
Boots of elvenkind: Give to Carinna?
MW light metal shield: I'll take it and use the hatchet
Dust of illusion: Keep for obvious reasons. Could sell for 550 though.
Agree?
Bear traps sell for 1 gp each.
That isn't a lot and they could be very useful.
Indeed. You already ran into one bear, after all...
Yeah, I have found that nobody wants to play the healer. The first game I got into was as a cleric. I played three different healers in other games! (All of which died.)
I actually dropped from the LoF recruitment because the GM required use of the Ultimate Campaign random background generator, and it completely screwed my character concept. :/
I don't know, I love clerics.
Hey, Korinne. We are in the same LoF pbp game! :P
So, any final purchases before heading to the Stag Lord's fort? Alchemical gear? Arrows? Healing potions?
Yep. Oleg's is well-stocked for exploration. You can easily get alchemical fire, tanglefoot bags, thunderstones, weapon blanch and so on.

Regarding the loot, I think Carinna could really use the boots. Her Acrobatics is not low but considering that a failed check when she tries to move around the battlefield could be really problematic, I think it is more than worthy.
So, how will we handle the loot distribution? As I said before, I'd really like 300gp to turn her sword master work.
I don't think there is anything Telmarni needs right now. And I would be happy to put forth my share to help enhance Carinna's sword.
Since no one contested the loot distribution, assume the following:
Leather armor: Give to Hatch
Short sword: Give to Hatch
Silver stag amulet: Keep for obvious reasons now
Bear traps (12): keep
+1 flaming = 8000/50*7 = 1120
Boots of elvenkind: Give to Carinna?
MW light metal shield: I'll take it and use the hatchet
Dust of illusion: Keep for obvious reasons. Could sell for 550 though.
Gold: 74.2 + 245.3 + 510 + 551 + 130 = 1510.5gp
Total: 1510.5gp + 1120gp = 2630.5 / 5 = 526.1 per person
Plenty of money for Carrina to get her spell from Jhod before he leaves. Someone with a horse needs to carry the bear traps.
Eventually, Kavalina is going to send in for a +1 Glaive.
I know it looks unlikely we'll get it for a while, but can we also order a wand of cure light wounds? I think it would be a good idea in the long run. Though we also have potions for the time being.
I just want a pair of thunderstones. -4 on init is nice. That's 60 gp.
Durr food. 5 of us plus Hatch and Vance makes 7. 10 days is 70 rations.
70 - 26 = 44 * .5gp = 22gp
Oleg gave us a credit of 1000gp.
1000
-310 My thunderstones and any-tool)
-380 Korrine (Might as well use it for your stuff)
-22 Rations
288 left.
I think that is it.
I don't think we can use that on Carrina's sword though. That's from Jhod.
Technically the "price" for Jhod to cast masterwork transformation is for the material components. You're buying fine steel, leather, etc., which is used up to make the item masterwork. So you can use some of your credit to buy those things from Oleg. Jhod doesn't charge for the casting of the spell itself (he will cast spells at no charge as long as you supply any expensive components).
If we wanna use the credit in one go then someone will only have to give up 12gp then.
Question: Can I use Craft(Bower) to make special ammunition like these? Or do I need a splash of Alchemy? I think I asked this but forgot to take it into consideration for the previous level increase.
The following arrows can be made without alchemy or other specialized engineering/holy/arcane abilities:
Barbed
Bleeding
Blunt
Durable
Flight
Pronged
Trip
Whistling
Darkvision is level 2. Can you scribe a spell above what you can cast? Also, scribing from a scroll destroys the scroll.
Nothing in arcane magical writings, as far as I can tell, prevents you from transcribing a spell of a level that is too high for you to cast, as long as it appears on your spell list. The relevant hurdles are the price, the Spellcraft check to decipher it (or use of read magic), and that the spell appears on your list. Note that the Spellcraft check to decipher it is harder if it's a higher-level spell, but it is not limited to only spells of a level you can cast - if it were, you would be unable to decipher and use higher-level spell scrolls, and clearly you can cast a spell from a scroll that's higher than a level that you could normally cast yourself.
So Korinne can transcribe darkvision, she just won't be able to cast it until she gains arcanist level 4.
Note as well that the text is explicit about spells that you gain from level-up having to be of a level that you can cast, but it does not say this about spells you learn from another source. Presumably this allows you to collect spells that you will be able to later use... someday!
