I will be afk for a while. ttyl
Also, let me explain...Jametor doesn't think you are cheating him in any way, he just knows you are sneaky and stuff. He is just bantering with you and the fireball is in no way a threat, just explaining that sometimes he will place fire with big explosions right next to you in order to do maximum damage to the enemy, while not hurting you.
As a player, I fully adhere to the tenet that the mage who drops the AOE on his group is the mage the group is looking to replace.
Jametor - I'm pondering magic items to buy with my cheese funds. Did you really spend 4500 gp on your wand of levitate? I forgot it was a second level spell, making it quite expensive.
I don't think I'll spring for that - so what other wands might I consider? I have mage armor and infernal healing. Shield, perhaps?
That was a drop, there have been a couple of times where we've needed a spell that we didn't have, so I think some timely drops have happened.
Mage armor for me is a 6 hour duration, next level it's 7, so it's almost like cast it in the morning and be done with it. Not sure that's really worth a wand. Shield might be, since it's kinda situational and it might allow Njord to spend his herbs on something other than shield, if he can.
I am leaving work right now, so let me look at what other folks say are good wand options.
All of the detect spells are good on wands.
Also, I hope you're happy. I had to look up the word medina.
My work here is done.
Edit: you should hear the riffling of virtual dictionary pages in my Skull & Shackles game when I'm on a roll. I've got a ridiculously large nautical vocabulary for someone who's barely sailed at all - makes for lots of fun, at least for me.
Well, after nearly 15 hours in bed, I think I'm starting to feel a bit better. Gonna catch up on posts, and then I need to stop being indecisive and figure out what to get. You people and your cheesy armor selling!
To be fair, opting for noqual fullplate isn’t that much of an advantage since it still requires 25 pounds of noqual (which would otherwise be worth 2500 gold if sold raw).
So those people are robbing the rest of the party for their own gain!
BURN THEM!
Heh. Between the two of them they are taking quite a chunk of change from the party coffer.
I'm inclined to say such sales should go back into the party fund.
Yeah, whatever seems fair to all of us, is what I'd support doing. I've offered to get a weapon or armor for one of you folks, but nooooo i get rebuffed. So /cartman voice "screw you guys, I'm going home /cartman voice where Home is making the most gold for Jametor so he can buy new shineys so he can be mo' powerful.
Well it’s Randall that you’re hurting the most. Pulling 50 noqual from the sale pile puts him back in the red.
They’re gunna repo his dagger.
We could do something where those who decline an item get a split of the average noqual used by the others, or something.
I don't want to hurt Randall...Slackling...maybe.
Let's do what's most fair. I have no ideas what the payout is going to be so, I haven't spent anything. I am really looking at some other spell like chain lightning too, so I can have more variety. I know the optimized blaster wizard is fireball all the time, with more fireball for added fun, but I think shooting laser...err lighting from my hand would be fun. Unless you can get me a shark with lasers on its head.
Throw me a frickin bone...
I don’t understand your math words.
Not that it matters, book 3 page 1 is coming. (think winter is coming) and I am just trying to set my next guy up.
Also, hafling ranger. because we have arcane casters out the 4th breakfast.
All the noqual I looted was above average. I am using it to make my super expensive armor, thankyouverymuch

No more halflings allowed, sorry. We're already pushing the .5% of Riddleport's population.
I'm thinking that Antal will give up his noqual to whoever wants/needs a weapon made from it.
a page or two back you told me all non-halflings would be declined.
Can I be a Drow Ranger?
Sure, but I can't promise the party won't kill you on sight.
Especially Antal.
Heading to bed. Have a root canal in the morning, should be home by 10AM or about that. Might be in and out during the day depending on how I feel. Try to keep you guys informed.
Crashing. Randall will continue his study of the other corner of the ring, looking for cheating. Not sure what he will do about it if it's found - he might just tell the others or he might wait to tell the Shoanti that he knows...
Everyone can level to 7th. It didn't do much for him but Njord was already 7.
So... Randall, my friend... I think Feint Partner will have to wait, if you won't be too terribly disappointed? I feel the need to pick up Combat Casting sooner rather than later.
Njord is level 7.
+Doing bear-stuff
Jametor is 7. I picked Imp Familiar. getting the story of how Swiftwing Transforms in a moment.
Asht'el is also 7th now, will get it into alias later today. Picked Spell Penetration, plus Improved Initiative for bloodline feat (init bonus is now +9, will be dropping those stinking clouds on the baddies before anyone can move!).
New spells are Web Bolt (1st), Levitate (2nd), Stinking Cloud (3rd).
On the noqual money question - I'm okay with pooling our noqual cash. I would like to pick up a Handy Haversack, to store rods and such and have easy access.
Dawww she's adorable.
Story is up, thought I would explain why she might know undercommon and drow sign language, plus it gives me a reason for her to be imprisoned. Hopefully, that works for everyone.
I've also added Swiftwing's stat block to a spoiler in the alias, as there is a lot more info we'll need. Spells are also listed, but I can change them if we need, thought the spells were a good compliment to what we have now. Of course assuming I don't die in book 3, page 1.
I am adding my player's characters for my new campaign into Hero Lab, so that's fun...
Pfft. Do that later. I'm talkin' to you and your bird!
Well, paperwork has been signed. :) As soon as I go to the bank (which is tomorrow morning), I'll be having the conversation with the wife that it's over and that she'll need to move out.
For some reason, I feel...relieved?
Oy. That’s tough.
I’m glad you’ve got a positive outlook on things. Tear off that bandaid!
That's exactly the phrase I've been using to describe it. Definitely a bit scary, but I'm gonna make it through.
Best of luck with it all, Antal. Sounds like you have about as good an outlook as possible on a sh1tty situation.
Was there anything or anyone Asht would want to interact with? Anything in Riddleport that might interest him?
I'd intended to build up the Red Mantis thing but Asht didn't seem to be into it.
You mentioned one with LoH ability?
Agathion, Silvanshee
ooo, black cat..heh..
so know I gotta decide, dragon or cat.
after looking it over, 1d5 healing a few times a day would be nice, but I think I am going to stay with the dragon. Having more spells is really nice and we can give the dragon a wand or ten. She might be able to use the clw wand some too.

Yeah, sorry about that. It just didn't seem in Asht'el's character to hang with an assassin, even if she's hawt. She could continue to blackmail him, though, threatening to tell his father that he's still alive if he doesn't do stuff for her. Or maybe she's not as bad as she seems, and he finds her rescuing a puppy or something, and learns that she's been forced into the business in some way, and together they can attempt to resolve her problem, since she helped solve his problem. He could rescue the hawt assassin from her tortured fate! Or he could hear that she's in some trouble - even though he doesn't respect what she does, she gave him a chance to live instead of just killing him, and threw his father off the scent, which means a lot to him.
Those all sound like fun to me. I'll think about other potential links. For the most part, he's been on his own since he came to Riddleport, just working to get by and not making close connections with anyone. Now he's happy to have this gang to hang with, the Goblin to live in, and some fun adventures behind him - even if he got recruited to be an assassin in the process.
PUPPY!
Sounds like you need to get improved familiar and get a puppy.
We have 3 arcane casters, plus the faerie dragon and just one divine? crazy.
Do I have a way to get a familiar? I've never really explored that option.
You could take Eldritch Heritage (Arcane), which is how I got Prickles.
Eldritch Heritage would be the easiest way.
Oh..I guess I should look at the sorc closer. Maybe you could just make Njord your familiar.
