DM Jesse's Kingmaker PbP (Inactive)

Game Master Jesse Heinig

Yes. Oleg is canny enough to stock gear that is used by adventurers or those going into the woods. As a result he is pretty well supplied with weapons and armor, even stuff that you might not normally expect.

Here is the updated prices. Metagamed a little to find the prices.

Sell:
Masterwork handaxe 2: 306
Shortsword 10: 50
Longbow 7: 262.5
Silver earrings 1: 150
Bottle of potent green liquor 8: 160
Crate of furs 3: 150
Silver 321
Gold 185

Total 1295.6
GP per person is at least 259.12gp

With that in mind Cassandra intends to get:
MW Artisans Tools 55gp
MW Survival Kit 50gp
10 Durable Cold Iron Arrows (crafted so half price) 10gp
1 Alchemist's Fire 20gp
2 Acid 20gp
1 thunderstone 30gp
1 Potion from Valeska 25gp

Total: 210gp
Net: 49.12

I believe I am the only one left who hasn't gotten a potion from Valeska because I have stayed out of melee. I will add these to my sheet unless the DM says otherwise.

You haven't gotten a cure potion, but you do have an enlarge person potion. Unless you want to hand it off to anyone else.

Okay, let's see...that brings Kor's money total up to ~265 gp. I think I'll have her pick up the following (if available):

Cold Iron Dagger - 4gp (She'll sell her regular dagger.)
Alchemist's Fire x2 - 40gp
Thunderstone x2 - 60gp

Also an additional 25gp to cover one of Valeska's Cure potions if we're trying to make sure that everyone has one.

Total Spent = 104 gp (129 gp w/ potion)

Can't really think of anything else she could stand to buy right at this moment, but always happy to take suggestions.

You haven't gotten a cure potion, but you do have an enlarge person potion. Unless you want to hand it off to anyone else.

I know. Hand which one off? I was going to keep both. I think I am the only one left who doesn't have a cure potion.

With the new amount of GP (Carinna has 122 gp, 8 cp), she will also by the following gear:

mwk backpack (49 gp after selling the old one)
canteen (1gp, 5sp after selling the waterskin)
Valeska's potions (50 gp)

This will leave her with 21 gp, 5 sp and 8 cp.

Seeing Carinna buying potions from me, I just want to say that if you spend money on my potions, I'll let you pick the potion/oil.

Here's a quick list you might like:

Level 0: I can do oils of stabilize, detect poison, light, guidance, resistance, or mending. Honestly, I don't expect any of these to really appeal. Oil of light is cool, but buy a sunrod instead. Maybe oil of mending. Maybe.

Level 1: I've got potions/oils of cure light wounds, enlarge person, mage armor, remove sickness. I know cures are going to be the most in demand, but let's not forget the utility of the others, as well.

So Telmarni got a total of 259.12+32=291.12 And in all honesty, I don't know what to get. I got a feeling this character is set for now. Hm, maybe something for the kids, Cobb and Sareah? I got a feeling Telmarni feels a bit for them.

Happy New Year everyone! Looking forward to a 2016 full of fun and mayhem frolicking in the woods with you all ;)

Happy new year all!

Sorry I've been slow -- I won't be home 'til Tuesday the 5th, and it's a little rough doing full updates while I'm out of my home town, doing holiday activities. ;)

Understandable. And a Happy New Year to all as well. Well, I guess that gives me enough time to update and maybe see about smoothing things out with a certain hard drive I have.

Grabs sledgehammer to "fix" said hard drive.

Post up! :D

Also, I've cleared the swag bag, so make sure you update your sheets with your cash & stuff. :)

Bought a sling and 10 silver bullets.

Hm, I guess Telmarni will buy 20 days worth of rations. So that will come to 10 gold.

I also forgot to add the 10 Gold from earlier. So the remaining total is 291 Gold, 1 Silver, and 2 Copper. Took me a while to get that through my head. >.>

So inscribing a spell into my spellbook will be 10 gold for supplies. I'll mark that off now. Also a healer's kit, and one of each of an Antitoxin and Antiplague. The healer's kit shall help because of the bonus, and the other anti items are mostly for after the fact. Getting a bonus to rolls or a re-roll can be useful. And of course acid and alchemist fires for swarms. Hopefully we don't encounter many of them.... Then again, I might have jinxed us. >.>

Purchases

• Scribing supplies: 10 Gold
  
• Healer's Kit: 50 Gold
  
• Antitoxin: 50 Gold
  
• Anti-Plague: 50 Gold
  
• 4 Alchemist Fires: 80 Gold
  
• 2 Acid Flasks: 20 Gold

After that and the rations purchased earlier, leaves me 31 Gold, 1 Silver, and 2 Copper.

Six hour drive home today, then I will be back on a normal schedule tomorrow. Expect post-holiday posting to flare up!

*snerk*

The best kind of flare-up.

Looking forward to getting rolling! :)

I'm thinking hirelings.

You can certainly decide to take on some of your captives as spear-carriers. Generally, the typical bandit of the Narlmarches and Kamelands is a 1st-level warrior or even a commoner or expert.

If you plan to take Leadership as a feat later, this could be building the groundwork for some of your followers!

That sounds great! Very interesting to boot. ^_^

I like the idea of hirelings and possible future candidates for Leadership buddies for whoever is interested :)

Valeska, about the two potions Carinna "bought" from you, a CLW and a remove sickness would be nice when you have the time!

Super sick. Hope to be back in action soon.

Ugh. Guess the flu is going around where you live too. >.<

Eek, hope you get to feeling better soon DM! You too Telmarni, if you're also sick.

I am, and thank you.

Everyone still there? Get well soon. Itching for some action.

Yup, still here!

I'm still a little sick, but mostly functional! So I'm diving back into trying to get updated. :)

Setting up a map for the kobold encounter right now!

Still here too. Get well soon guys! :)

For anyone that's curious, I'm a big fan of using real world languages to represent various Golarion languages and I've got a spoiler tab under my main profile with a listing of what I generally use. I think it's a fun way to add a little extra immersion to games, but I also understand that not everyone enjoys that sort of thing and I hope no one feels obligated to do so just because I do. If it's easier for me to just put what I'm saying under a spoiler and leave off with the strange languages, please let me know.

I know I like it. I used Persian for a character of mine for Mummy's Mask. A Ifrit Swashbuckler. But that game died not too long after starting. v_v

Yes, I was in that game with you as Salomae. A bummer, but an all-too-common occurrence in PbP gaming :(

Laaame! I've not had a chance to play MM yet.

I'm actually in a MM game right now that started in January of last year but stalled around March/April or so due to some personal issues on the part of the GM as well as a couple of players needing to drop and/or poofing. Of the remaining players in MM, Player E had been recruited by Player H to take over running a Razor Coast game that the original GM had flaked out on even starting. Players E, H, and myself had all been chatting together in Hangouts about MM. When that game died and their Razor Coast game started up, I think they felt guilty about me being the odd person out so Player E invited me to join the game and take over running an NPC that was supposed to accompany the group.

Several months later, around September/October, Player E's work schedule picked up and they made the decision to end the Razor Coast game once we finished the particular module we were on. Player H then got in touch with our old GM from the MM game and asked if they wanted to try and restart it. So once Razor Coast ended, all the new and old players from that game jumped back over to the MM game and we've been trucking along ever since. It's a fun game, but very different from a lot of the games I've been in on the forums. There's a lot of 'relationship' type RP of both the friendship and moving-towards-romance variety since that was something the GM encouraged in the initial recruitment.

The above tale also goes to show that the Paizo PbP world is actually a bit of a small one and it's not hard to play six degrees of separation regarding other posters, hehe.

Curious. I'm currently running this and Jade Regent, and I am playing in a couple games, one of which looks like it just died, and one (another KM) that is... realllllllly slow. The slow KM has some relationship tension as well, though it's mostly because there's kind of a "will-they-won't-they" between my character and another player's character, with a third player in a sort of wild card role who may or may not be part of some Gothic woeful love story. The fastest-moving game I'm in is a Carrion Crown game that's got some strong characters but is mostly a straightforward dungeon-horror so far.

So the illness that I had last week doubled back with a vengeance. I've mostly been sleeping. Will do my best to try to keep some momentum. :)

Would the use of the Survival skill to get food and water hamper our speed in exploring? If not, I think Cassandra and Vance (and perhaps even Cobb) could make their checks everyday... otherwise we could potentially run out of gp really quickly if we get unlucky...

Aside from our own expenses (17.5 gp a week), there is also 14 gp for our four followers...

You move at half speed. DC 10 to find food for yourself. For every 2 over that you can get food for another person. I have a +10 so I can't fail to find food for myself.

250 is 50 per person. Getting 10 rations for 5gp. How much for for the new hires? 2 for Vance and 1 for the 3 others per week? Good money judging by the hireling table.

Hm, looks good to me. Though what are the current supplies our hires have anyway? Maybe Vance can enlighten us on what he could use for the scouting and hunting in the wilds.

You yoinked most of the gear that the bandits had. Vance is basically using a borrowed bow (which was his, and was taken when he was captured) when he hunts at this point. :)

Vance would say that the single most useful item is an axe. (With that you can make most of the other stuff that you need, if you know what you're doing.)

I'll do the same as Cass; just reset my rations to 0 (will assume she used all of what she had and it's easier this way) and will buy 10 for 5gp. Inventory and money updated accordingly to reflect that and the 50 gp for the radishes.

If you like we can just add a Provisions line to the campaign tab that specifies how many person-days of food you have available. That way we don't have to worry about everyone tracking their own individually -- if you have more for yourself then it could go on your sheet. That sound reasonable?

That works for me also if you think it would be easier in the long run :)

Sounds good to me.

I like that idea!

I like it! Having to update constantly the sheet is troublesome...

If we're all buying 10 days this time, then that's 5 gold from each of us, and an additional 20 gold for Hatch, Cobb, Sareah, and Vance. That's a total of 9 from each of us. Then there's pay for our four hirelings, and whatever equipment we want them to have above and beyond what we've captured.

I'll mark up the provisions on the campaign info while you decide what other expenses you might have. :)
