Er, who is DM Fflash?
Me, sry

Threads have been quiet for a couple days... anything else you guys want to play out, or are you ready to move on?
Unless you want to play out the whole going for drink with the Marshall so as to gently discuss philosophies with her, as well as Abbie's visit to the orphanage, I'm good.
I would like to know how those kids are doing...
I just need to ensure we've worked out the loot distro process. Abby is taking the ring at no cost right now to be returned to the pool when she no longer needs it?
I scribed identify and made another one for Mel and we're hanging on to the command undead scroll?
I'm gonna spend some cash once I figure out how much I have in total. Likely just buy a few spells.
Seren, how much gold does Segang have to spend?
With the necklace price DM posted earlier, we each have 1029.7 gp at this point, plus whatever we had before.
Purchasing the armor as noted previously, 25g for one of the platinum rings needed, and willing to contribute 150g to a wand of CLW. DM, does the magic item vendor we visited before have a new one or a used one?
Alright! 1029,7 gp will allow me to finally buy a better class of rapier! ^^ Let me grab the books and see what I can get...
EDIT: Well, not a magic weapon, that's for sure. But masterwork should be doable.
Melianthe, would you like a pair of smoked goggles as a gift?
Adding his 187 to the 1029.7 yields him 1216.7. If he pays 1000 to enchant his armor, 25 for the other platinum ring, and 150 for his share of the wand, he will have 41.7 gold left. Segang is happy and will offer to lend his remaining gold to anyone else in the group that might be a little short for what they need.
Can Segang arrange to have his armor enchanted during the down time?
Allllrighty! Finished my shopping.
Arrows x10
Artisan's tools (weapons; masterwork) (I do like making stuff)
Heavy crossbow (ranged power for when we need it)
Masterwork nodachi (got Tien background, will love Asian weapons)
Masterwork rapier (now for +8 to attack rolls; yay!)
Masterwork thieves' tools (+2 to Disable Device, adds up to +14 to rolls, which can only be helpful to the team)
Potion of CLW x3 (do I need to say it?)
Rations
I can still get Mel those smoked goggles, if she likes. ;)
+8 is great. That is what Segang is. Your dex is 2 points higher than Segang's strength, which makes up for your 1oss of BAB.
Normal Masterwork Thieves tools only add +1 to disable iirc.
Core Rulebook says +2 circumstance bonus to Disable Device.
OK. good for us. I guess I remember wrong. I am without access to rules today. Long story.
Most masterwork tools add +2, so that is consistent anyway.
Abby, thanks for the offer! Dazzled condition, all fluff aside, is only a -1 on Perception (and attack rolls, which Mel doesn't do), so it doesn't bug Mel much.
I'll go shopping ASAP.
...and the Smoked Goggles give one a -4 on Perception. :P A permanent Protective Penumbra, that would be cool. ;)
You'll have to wait quite a few levels before I might be able to create wondrous items like that. ;)
Anyway, you could just take the goggles for cosmetic purposes. :p Not every purchase needs to be life-or-death. *chuckles*
Yes to the questions above... you have enough time to find/craft everything you need.
"Enchantment?"
Segang's sheet is updated, though his AC did not change. But now it will increase with Cherias' Shield Other spell.
His next purchase goal is a Cloak of Resistance.
Mel is going to save up for bigger purchases, but she'll get a 25-charge Wand of Ill Omen. Did we pool to get a CLW Wand?
At least two of us have set aside 150 each. Ab did not specifically mention it. But if we do not all pitch in we will not be able to get it.
I'm absolutely pitching in.
I'm in

I'm in for 33 gold. I'm keeping one gold for expenses... ^^;
If I make any money on that cabinet I made -- hint, hint, DM. ;) -- I'll add that to the pile.
Then we are short 110 gold for a fully charged wand. I can go another 40 gold then I am broke.
Well, I can sell the rapier I originally made for Melianthe, too.
Let's see if there's a used wand available, then decide what to do. Cherias has some leftover money too.

You could by fewer potions of healing Absinthe. The wand is a better deal per charge certainly.
Ah, yes. If I drop one potion, that 83 gold in the pot from me. How much can you spot, Cherias?
I have plenty of leftover money. 150 + remainder is?
I'll figure it out when I get home. I'd like to keep 200 to do the retraining, but the wand is more important.

OK we're short 60 once Abby ups her contribution to 83, so I can cover that difference, no problem. I'll probably be healing myself with it the most due to lifelink.
Which means you will be healing me, so I am glad I was able to chip in a little extra. My DR is up to 2 though so that will help a little.
Seren will purchase a Pearl of Power - 1st if available and the following level 2 spells:
minor image
blur
create pit
disguise other
hideous laughter
see invisibility
spider climb
He will make scrolls of see invisibility and spider climb after he learns them.
After his cut of the wand, this leaves him with 200gp.
Will rework memorized spells as well
That's about 1700 ...
Spells cost 40gp each to learn.
It's a good selection. I especially like Hideous Laughter.
40 to learn, but you said you were purchasing them too above. That would be 190 each in total.
Thought we discussed this earlier, but poring through the posts I can't find it (or it may have been in another game). Anyhow, will need a DM ruling. I assumed costs based on purchasing a spellbook containing the spells I wanted vice scrolls. Significantly less expensive that way (also could say I'm paying to "borrow"). A spellbook value is half the copy cost plus 15gp. Assuming full copy cost (selling at profit), we're talking 80gp total per 2nd level spell vice 190gp per spell via scroll.
or we could use this reference which would be even cheaper (60gp per):
"In most cases, wizards charge a fee for the privilege of copying spells from their spellbooks. This fee is usually equal to half the cost to write the spell into a spellbook (see Writing a New Spell into a Spellbook). Rare and unique spells might cost significantly more."
Which reminds me. I forgot to decrement cash for the learned spells in the necro spell book so that'll gut my remaining funds.
After DM decision, I'll adjust my spells accordingly.
Thanks for the assist, Segang.
Usually, in a town with an active magic academy and library, there will be the possibility of paying a fee to access the library's tomes of magic for copying spells. Depends on the GM of course.
Not so much for allowing the witch's familiar to eat the pages. Although you can go to the familiar zoo to get familiar-familiar learning, amirite?
Ready to move on to the second book here.
DM, I think we're all ready to move on. Just two questions need to be resolved that I recall:
1) Does the magic item seller have CLW wands, and if so, are they all new or are there any partially charged ones? (this obviously affects the whole group)
2) Is there a temple or chapel or faith gathering or anything of Arshea in Korvosa? (this is just for my own character)
1) Already answered, and given the down time you can find either.
2) I suppose so, though it would be just a small, cult-like following with maybe a small chapel in a private spot.
OK I missed that answer, sorry. We've deducted the amount so I guess we have a full wand of CLW then@
Additionally for the Arshea cult, there's nothing pre-existing for it. If you want to flesh it out, and how Cherias interacts with it, let me know and we can fit it into the campaign, as needed.
DM NomadSage, how has the pseudodragon Majenko been doing all this time? Has he been silently following us on our adventures? I think it might be worth our time to ask him whether he knows anything about cases of plague in the city; his people live throughout it, right?
Yeah, Majenko kinda got forgotten about. We can assume he had no desire to go dungeon crawling in the catacombs, so he spent the time among his kind. Absinthe kept in touch with him through the down time. He has no news about plague... people in the city get sick fairly often.
I need to mention that I'll be out of the country on vacation from the 6th through the 15th. I'll have a laptop with me but am not sure how often I'll have internet so my posting could be interrupted, but i hope not too much.
Copy all... have fun!
Did my suggestion to talk further with the priest I'd Abadar get skipped? He represents a likely powerful church in the city and is already mighty handy. Hard to post from my phone. Will be back Saturday.
