Sorry for the delay. I have not forgotten, my 1 year old’s birthday party is today and the last few days have been crazy. I will hopefully catch up tonight or tomorrow!

Well I hope they have a great birthday.

Weekends are always slow but at least the site is up.

^ this

Party went well! We were going to do it last week, but baby (then us parents) got a stomach bug. Very fun.

The switch i weeks for the party turned it into a 15 people party to a 40 people party with 8 kids.

It went well though. The cleanup today is going to not be so fun.

Oh one more thing! You all level.

Same deal. Roll HP here and let me know what choices you made :) Level 4 here we go!

edit: There will be some downtime coming up, so feel free to save some of the fun level up stuff for RPing later if you wish. Just wanted to let you know that was going to happen.

I am heading out of town tonight till Sunday. Found out today there will be no internet. But my wife and friend want me to run a game with them while we are there, so I will have my laptop, if I get any cell service I will try to jump on.

Sorry for the late notice. Will be back to our regularly scheduled program Sunday night.

lol, nuts.
WELL I guess that gives everyone plenty of chance to jump in with comments about how they like the town or something xD

Haha, things slow down on the weekends anyway. Sorry about that. Surprise beach trip.. forcast of rain.. yay!

Yeah this time of year weekends are rough.

On a game front. If we come into enough cash I would really like to get a +1 enchantment on Big Brother at some point.

Vors doesn't see much value in the town itself, but likes the reputation his antics are garnishing him here in Belhaim. He's conflicted by bigger things in other places or finding a home here among a small town that is beginning to respect him; something he never got in Taldor.

If you wanted to take off for the month that is fine too. If you wanted to come back for the auction that is fine.

And hey, if you want your PC to just peace out and have a new character show up for the auction that is fine too. You just wont have the background or knowing the others.

As for the +1 enchantment, might be harder, since there is no one in town. Though you could take off and head to Cassomir, which is a massive city. Would just take some time, maybe go with a caravan down there and back. Would take 2 weeks total. But everything is available there.

Oooh, I have a question. How would you price a holy symbol that was mostly platinum but with gold used for part of the image? (just the chain part) :3

Grilnik is going to get a new holy symbol made of bling xD

Vors quickly finishes his wine, setting down the goblet.

"Lady Origena, always a pleasure", the half-orc said with a flirty wink.
[dice=Diplomacy]1d20 + 11

Wut.

Also I find that to be entirely too amusing xD

Hmm a plat holy symbol is 500 and a gold is 100. So lets say 350 for a mix of the two.

The engagement necklace I bought my wife, the chain cost more than the custom necklace.. Chain is hard to make, apparently.

wow, I guess you need to make each link in the chain in sequence, huh?

honestly I was expecting it to be more similar to a straight platinum holy symbol because of the increased workmanship and the fact that the chain is a small part, but if 350 is your final answer, I certainly won't complain ^_^
Then again, I guess the inside or back of the holy symbol could be gold... HMMMMmm a backing of gold is actually a really good idea xD

Also, is it safe to say that we just got 8lbs of gold from the herbalist and 80lbs of gold from the mayor?
If so, Grilnik and Bethany will have to share the load xD

Safe to say Grilnik's taking the healer's kit now that we've got it?

Loot sheet is a little sparce. Are we each taking a cut of things? Need to work out what Bethany does for a month.

well, unless ya'll wanna chip in for getting a spell cast on Maffei (assuming she's even there in the morning) we'll all just get 1100 gp (4000/4 + 400/4)

And yes, Grilnik will be taking the healer's kit. Is anyone else even trained? xD

Vors will chip in for Maffei's spell

And yes, Grilnik will be taking the healer's kit. Is anyone else even trained? xD

Vors have 1 rank in Heal if that helps. :)

neat, that makes two of us xD

Also, as mentioned in the gameplay thread, can we "retrain" hitpoints by spending double the time? (still 10 * 4 * 3 = 120 gp per HP tho...)

It'd only take 24 days and 480gp to get 4 hit points at normal price and double time... then we'd have time for helping the Kells and other things xD

Retraining HP is fine.

As for magic weapons and armor, there is no one in town, you would have to travel to the big city. Which is a totally valid thing to do, but would take most of the month there and back.

As for the Kells, you will likely have to wait for that a bit. Spoilers

Healing Maff is up to y'all.

As for Bethany setting up as a carpenter, you totally can. You can make some gold if you want. If that is what you want to do I can get the exact "downtime" rules and make it correct.

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/downtime/

There is a link of all the things you can do.

ok, I've thought of a plan:
1 day to meet Maffei, go to Big Bull (and maybe check in with the temples) to commission a new 350gp platinum/gold holy symbol, and take a nap after a long dungeon crawl.
24 days "retraining" (hit points, I guess some sort of ascetic monk stuff. Stuff like sitting under a waterfall while trying not to freeze to death)
and 5 more days (mixed in with the training) to sight-see and look for the Kells. Maybe find more side-quests in town if anyone else is up for that xD

So before I post again in gameplay, should I just narrate all that? Did anyone want to RP meeting with Maffei and/or poking around town?

edit: and is there a level 7+ cleric to ask about a (non-lesser) restoration spell? I just realized it might be hard/impossible to find a person who can cast 4th level spells in town xD

edit2: or I suppose we could be a scroll, some diamond dust, and risk Grilnik's 15% chance of failure...

Vors would want to meet with Maffei, hopefully with a means to restore her. If the group stays in Belhaim, the half-orc will continue to impress and flirt with both Lady Origena and Talia Orem, in hopes of starting a relationship with either. The roguish cleric has too much money for this town and nothing to spend it on that he doesn't already have. So he'll maintain his room at The Wise Piper, occasionally drink until drunk, and maybe court some ladies.

With some of the specifics, why don't we continue the actual RPing until its a "then 3 weeks go by" type thing.

Let us RP the meeting with Maffei, and any prep work for that you want.

Will have to figure out what Origena and Orem would do :)

Wow, lot of downtime rules to untangle. I will look at over today. I do think she will pick up some extra work for the down time since she does not have enough gold to get her hammer enchanted.

...so... did my post ruin everything forever? :P

or are ya'll just thinking of yer month of downtime? xD

Ha! maybe. I read it and assumed I was going to wait for players.

Everyone must have been waiting.

Just pushed you forward.

Character-wise Brynn's not helping, but I'm fine chipping in behind the scenes as a player. Why don't we take the 800 gp out of the 4,417 gp we have as treasure that we haven't split yet? Then everyone can chip in to heal Maffei. If not, I'll still pay 1/4 the cost (200 gp) of the scroll.

No need. Vors has money to burn and somebody needs help; help that if he was in that situation, he would want someone to help him. Besides Vors understands that Brynn doesn't give two s#|+s anyway. He wants to do it.

I'll just pretend that Grilnik was a little to slow to the punch instead of me having computer issues IRL xD

Also, idk how charitable Bethany feels, but Grilnik and Vors have 1100 each, and that's technically enough even before help from the Baroness

I'm fine splitting it in any way you guys want, but Grilnik (and Vors apparently) would like to chip in :D

I would chip in for an equal share. We did say we would help it.

yay equal shares xD

Also, if no one else wants to narrate our trip over to the tower, I'll do that sometime tomorrow :P

BTW, should I just narrate Grilnik trying both spells? I feel like I should just narrate everything for the sake of expediency...

IIRC DM Nex mentioned that she has permanently drained levels OOC and so she probably wouldn't get any use out of lesser restoration xD

sorry for stealing the show a little bit ^^;
I hope ya'll don't mind too much ^^;

No worries! Easy enough for me.

^ thanks xD

Also, I assume you'll want to sleep for a day or two straight, but we look forward to having you back (and to Maffei's reply) xD

BTW Brynn, is Brynn the type to feel bad after everyone else chips in and want to give an equal share?
'cause if not then she gets 1100 gp and we'll get 534 gp each (and i'll use 2gp from the tiny party fund that's been floating around to make the sum work out...)

If so, then we can all get 675gp without muddling with anything else.

oh, but that's not including Origena's contribution to Maffei's healing (I assume it'd be a monetary contribution less than 1700gp) xD

Nope! Not at all. But we should split it four ways behind the scenes anyway.

clerical error? :P

@Beth: Did you just want to earn gold with craft (carpentry)? If so, you probably just care about DM Nex's ruling and this section of the downtime rules:

Skilled Work: If you have ranks in a useful skill, you can spend 1 day working in a settlement to earn more capital than you would doing unskilled work. Note that this method includes both legal and illegal means of earning capital—for example, a day spent using Sleight of Hand to earn money could be a day spent performing as a street magician or a day spent pickpocketing.

Choose either one type of capital (Goods, Influence, Labor, or Magic) or gp, and attempt a skill check. You can take 10 on this check.

If you chose gp, divide the result of your check by 10 to determine how many gp you earn that day. For example, if your check result is a 16, dividing it by 10 earns you 1 gp and 6 sp that day (round to the nearest silver).

...stuff about capital...

Working Weekends

The Craft and Profession skills allow you to attempt a skill check once per week, earning an amount of gp equal to 1/2 your check result. If you were to divide that amount by 7, you’d get your earnings per day. However, that assumes you work 7 days per week, and most people take 2 days off per week for rest and worship, so that’s only 5 days of actual work per week. Dividing your check result by 2 and then by 5 is the same as dividing by 10, which is why the downtime system has you divide your check result by 10 to determine gp earned per day. You can work 7 days per week (if you really need the 2 extra days for earning capital), but even mighty adventurers need a day off now and then!

The value of a particular skill for a given type of capital can vary from settlement to settlement. For example, in a frontier settlement with a tradition of serious hard work, a day of humorous performances using Perform (comedy) might not earn you much capital, but inspirational public speeches about the city’s heroes using Knowledge (history) or Perform (oratory) could. The GM should tell you this before you attempt the skill check, or allow you to assess the inhabitants’ preferences with a successful DC 15 Knowledge (local) or Sense Motive check.

I decided that Longstrider > weaponwand
So I swapped out those two spells when I updated my equipment xD
(I've already added the 675 and subtracted 350 (gold/plat holy symbol) & 480 (training), so Grilnik has less cash than before, and now he keeps the wood symbol in his backpack and the metal symbol hanging from his belt...)

Also spells:

Spells Prepared:
. 2nd: Shield Other (D), Lesser Restoration, Resist Energy, Summon Monster II
. 1st: Longstrider (D), Bless [x2], Comprehend Languages, Ironbeard
. 0 (at will) Create Water, Light, Purify Food and Drink, Stabilize

edit: Also just noticed that the lovely website we've got for this campaign doesn't have the hunclay's manor quest checked off (and I think there were 3 scrolls of restoration before we bought one, so that'd be 2 now if I remembered correctly)

I was doing some research on Talia Orem, and apparently she has a son?! How's the boy handling mother's newest half-human paramour? Vors would make an effort to be kind to the kid, at least. Shall Vors roll for Diplomacy?

Edit: I forgot the differences in age between Talia & Vors. The half-orc might be close in age to Talia's son!!!

Good catch. Fixed now.

No worries about your spells, I trust you. Your method of posting here works. You can also just keep an updated list on your profile. If I ever have a question I usually go there to see what you have/dont have. Or what info I need to bot you.

Again, up to you how you want to handle spells.
