Robin takes the Masterwork Thieves' Tools, naturally. He will play around with the flute for fun. Perform: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13

He also pries into the journal.

Slightly indisposed of for the moment as I've chosen to play with my ferret with my slight free time instead of PbPing. Sorry! Tomorrow, you'll hear from me!


Hmmm, I'm not sure that post above is fit for public consumption....

Let's go ahead and sell what we can at Savah's and see where we stand in terms of gold. Robin also will sell the masterwork flute and split the proceeds, and sell his non-masterwork Thieves' Tools.


F Human Shoanti [AC: 23/12 tch/21 ff; HP 83/95; Frt +9, Ref +5, Will +13; Perc +19/21 vs creatures] Cleric 10, Init:+1, Diplo +8, Heal +15, Sense Motive +15

I am good with that. If we did not have the prisoner I'd say we head down the tunnel immediately. But since we do need to drop him off we might as well get rid of the heavy stuff.

No rush to upgrade the armor. When we have enough, split fairly Cadas will upgrade. She seems to be doing fine.


Savah's will buy most normal quality or better weapons or adventuring equipment. These will be at 50% of the PRD buy price + your 10% bonus. So normal thieves tools would be 50gp (by PRD) x 1/2 = 25 gp +10% =27.5 gp.

Just give me the list of what you're selling and your estimated amount. Also would like to know if you're keeping the cash or throwing in the community distribution pool.


There is this, if you have a mind:

Second Darkness Recruitment

Raging:

Hey-- don't make fun of my ferret. He's a kind and gentle creature with sharp teeth.

I've got Thieves' Tools as costing only 30gp (and only spent that much). So here's the breakdown:

Masterwork Flute = 60gp to community pot
Thieves' Tools = 18gp to community pot

So 78gp total for those things.


F Human Shoanti [AC: 23/12 tch/21 ff; HP 83/95; Frt +9, Ref +5, Will +13; Perc +19/21 vs creatures] Cleric 10, Init:+1, Diplo +8, Heal +15, Sense Motive +15

There is also the:

6 small black felt pouches with gold inside - who can appraise?
8 small black felt pouches with silver inside - who can appraise?
silver earrings - who can appraise?
composite shortbow w/ 18 arrows = 84 gold, selling for 42ish


Female Elf Wizard, 3, Per +4, Init +3, AC 13, Fort +2, Ref +4, Will +1 (Familiar: Raven) HP (18)21 (3/8 acid darts)

Tinuviel takes a look at the loot Cadas mentioned.

Appraise: Gold pouches 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Appraise: Silver pouches 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Appraise: earrings 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Are the earrings pretty?


Hey Robin, the markup at Savah's is 10% not 20%. The new total is actually 71.5 gp. I also think the value of a composite shortbow and 18 arrows is 75.9 gp, so the marked up value is 37.95gp.

Tinuviel looks at the gold power and says they are likely worth 50gp each. (you can sell for that price). So total of 300gp. The silver is harder to quantify but she estimates at between 4-6 gp each so a total of 32-48. She cannot determine value of the earrings. They are silver stud type earrings, pretty but not extraordinary.

Savah says she'll give you 36 gp for the silver dust. And 25 gp for the pair of silver earrings. Let me know if you take it. Assuming you sell the other things?

Have updated the Loot Tracker appropriately. If someone else wants a stab at Appraise, lmk.


F Human Shoanti [AC: 23/12 tch/21 ff; HP 83/95; Frt +9, Ref +5, Will +13; Perc +19/21 vs creatures] Cleric 10, Init:+1, Diplo +8, Heal +15, Sense Motive +15

Appraise is untrained...

Appraise gold : 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14
Appraise silver: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12
Appraise ear rings: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17

I'd hate to think Savah would rip off the "heros". :)

My mistake on the accounting -- I was adding 10% of the full item price, not 10% of the sale price.


PRD wrote:
heck: A DC 20 Appraise check determines the value of a common item. If you succeed by 5 or more, you also determine if the item has magic properties, although this success does not grant knowledge of the magic item's abilities. If your fail the check by less than 5, you determine the price of that item to within 20% of its actual value. If you fail this check by 5 or more, the price is wildly inaccurate, subject to GM discretion. Particularly rare or exotic items might increase the DC of this check by 5 or more.

Bold type mine. Cadas' estimates the silver earrings at between 20-30gp but isn't quite sure the value. She can't give a good guess on the precious metal dusts.

I went ahead and sold the Gold Dust, LMK if you want to take Savah;'s offer on the silver dust and the earrings, or if they match your ensemble enough to just keep for yourself.


Male Dwarf Ranger 4 | HP 30/30 | AC 21 | T 12 | FF 19 | F +9 | R +9 | W +6 | I +4 | P +10

Rogar can also appraise.

Gold Dust 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Silver Dust 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Silver Earrings 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17


Inactive

Time to play along.

Gold Dust 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Silver Dust 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Silver Earrings 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Robin is quite sure that the Gold Dust is worth a fortune!

Cadas is willing to cut Robin a deal for it then. >:)

Smoke can also roll dice!

Gold Dust 1d20 ⇒ 10
Silver Dust 1d20 ⇒ 12
Silver Earrings 1d20 ⇒ 15

Second Darkness Recruitment

Dr evil, how long is the recruitment open? What class has a a better chance to get in?


I had the recruitment open until tonight, but have not checked over there so it's probably extended until tomorrow. Right now, rogue/skill type is weakest (or was last I checked it). I can also use a rogue type in a CotCT I am inheriting to run as the DM disappeared.


Lots of appraisals, but no real answers. Tinuviel had already accurately appraised the gold dust, and deciding that the golden shower might be in bad taste, she sold it already.

No one can accurately predict the silver dust and earrings, but you have an offer of 36gp for the silver and 25 for the earrings. These offers fall within what you expect for the goods. You can take this or hold the items for another appraise roll-fest later.

You also still have the magical flask that remains unidentified for later.

Hmm. Since the time I see this posted was 1:05 am, a literal reading means that you had recruitment open through Saturday but will extend it until sometime Sunday. Yet somehow I suspect you intended it to mean a day earlier.

Regardless, you have failed to let me know if I have time to submit an entry. If I post something this evening will it receive consideration?


Cadas - sent you a PM regarding Second Darkness. There's a spot for you if you can jump through a few small hoops.


F Human Shoanti [AC: 23/12 tch/21 ff; HP 83/95; Frt +9, Ref +5, Will +13; Perc +19/21 vs creatures] Cleric 10, Init:+1, Diplo +8, Heal +15, Sense Motive +15

Responded. Wheels are turning. You will not be disappointed.

FYI:

I'll be headed to Dragon Con this Thursday afternoon and will not return until Monday late. I am not sure how much free time I'll have or what the internet situation will be like. I predict my posting will be sparse, but not nonexistent. Please bot me if I am too slow to support the group.


Female Elf Wizard, 3, Per +4, Init +3, AC 13, Fort +2, Ref +4, Will +1 (Familiar: Raven) HP (18)21 (3/8 acid darts)

What Cadas said. :)

I'd love to meet up with anyone who is there, if that is possible.


F Human Shoanti [AC: 23/12 tch/21 ff; HP 83/95; Frt +9, Ref +5, Will +13; Perc +19/21 vs creatures] Cleric 10, Init:+1, Diplo +8, Heal +15, Sense Motive +15

I'd like to meet up too. I'll mostly be in the PFS area. Kyie and Nani (Venture Captains) know me so you can ask them who I am. Ask for Harry.

Or if you want to give me a cell number I'll call you. Are you playing any PFS?


Where is Dragon Con? Somewhere in the South?


Female Elf Wizard, 3, Per +4, Init +3, AC 13, Fort +2, Ref +4, Will +1 (Familiar: Raven) HP (18)21 (3/8 acid darts)

It's a rather large gathering of fandom in Atlanta every Labur Day weekend.

@Cadas, I'm mostly doing writer's track this year.

Rather large fails to capture it. Over the years is has really grown. It now fills up Downtown Atlanta. Certainly is the largest sifi con in the south.


Fair warning, I will be in the car a fair portion of the day tomorrow and may not be able to post much over the holiday weekend in US. I'm sure I'll squeeze a little in, but perhaps just a little slower than usual.

Sorry for my absence! I was really busy for the last couple of days and my computer decided to fritz out a bit as well-- lots of random crashes minutes after starting the computer, so I couldn't really get a lot across. Apologies!


Smoke, your on the clock , give us an action in a little bit or I'll move us ahead with another DM PC. Cadas and Tinuviel are both at conventions, but we'll see if they have actions as well. Hopefully, we'll be back up to full speed next week.

Hi all. I am back from the con. I played nine 5 hour slots of PFS and averaged maybe 5 hours of sleep a night for four nights. I'll be doing my best to catch up on everything and post tomorrow. Its good to be back home, and back with the game. :)

Looks like I need to lay some major heals on Smoke. Hang in there Smoke. Heals commin on line. :)


Glad you're back. We didn't move very far...

Are people okay making Rogar the Decider on where to go on the tunnel map? Seems like the natural choice for leading the way in tunnels.

Cadas has already said she is following.


That's a majority already then. If Tinuviel follows like she posted, that'll just leave Smoke, I'm sure he'll come along. We will move in that direction then thanks!

Hey smoke - All my spells have been on you and while I still have some channels left, your tactics are proving too risly to keep you healed. OOC you might want to consider a little more conservative play so that when I do channel more that just you benefits from it. I am not suggesting not fighting, but maybe staying with the group so as not to get flanked as much and targeted exclusively as much. Otherwise I'll be out of party healing AND you will be down.

The only alternative is is to rest more often. If we can get a wand of cure light that would fix the problem too, for now.

I've been hit three times over the course of the entire campaign for a total of something like 7 until the last two fights. Where Tsuto attacked me exclusively while Rogar was flanking him (and then used acrobatics to move away from Rogar so he was threatening only me). Then last fight our benevolent DM had Smoke run up into the enemy's full attack range and Rogar stepped away right after, leaving me as the sole remaining target. It still only tagged me once.

But, honestly, channel longevity is a fine concern. But be advised: You're asking me to not engage the enemies so they can move up to Tinuviel and Robin and get in full attack reach. This'll make your channels last longer because they'll heal more overall and give the monsters more targets to choose from. The alternative is Smoke continues tanking the enemies with Rogar and they will keep choosing to attack the barb because Rogar's a steel plated battle god and Smoke doesn't even have a shirt on. :P

We do need a wand of cure light wounds. I'm really hoping there's some stuff down here so a wand might be in our future. And if there's a good amount, I'll probably buy my own wand just for you to use on me because I don't plan on focusing a lot on AC on this character.

On a sidenote: My computer's not crashing anymore. Hooray!


F Human Shoanti [AC: 23/12 tch/21 ff; HP 83/95; Frt +9, Ref +5, Will +13; Perc +19/21 vs creatures] Cleric 10, Init:+1, Diplo +8, Heal +15, Sense Motive +15

You could get a pole arm and attack over the dwarf. :P

I am not sure what the solution is. Ideally my cleric wants to buff and fight. But if I use all my spells to heal and buff you, I don't get to do that. What I could do is use my channels to heal and and spells to buff, and when I am out of channels we rest.

Sometimes we need a raging barbarian to charge through the enemy to stop him from getting away. And sometimes not.


Male Dwarf Ranger 4 | HP 30/30 | AC 21 | T 12 | FF 19 | F +9 | R +9 | W +6 | I +4 | P +10

Personally, I'm not terribly worried. I can use any CLW once we get one if you have to spend your healing resources on keeping the bull up, and you're not worried about keeping yourself healed, you don't have to worry about me. My gold is going to start going into my shield with each level, due to my getting shield master at level 6 and being able to apply my shield's defensive enchantment bonuses to my offensive bonuses.

Basically, I'm saying don't worry about the dwarf, let the Barb swing away, a dead enemy can't do damage anyways (unless it's undead. dun dun dun)


There's enough cash on hand in the party to buy 14 CLW potions at full price (and nearly enough for a wand). Not saying that's what you want to do, but there are other healing resources available.


F Human Shoanti [AC: 23/12 tch/21 ff; HP 83/95; Frt +9, Ref +5, Will +13; Perc +19/21 vs creatures] Cleric 10, Init:+1, Diplo +8, Heal +15, Sense Motive +15

We would by twice the number of scrolls. :)

Robin will pick up CLW next level; I think we'll be okay.


Not sure if any of you are PFS players, but if so you should be aware of this event which is a huge effort to build interest in PbP PFS. I am running a game (Silent Tide 00-01) and playing in a few others. Many tiers and scenarios are represented, but you must join up at Warhorn site to officially sign up. Here is the link for the events.

Note, they all won;t be on the same day via PbP format, but will kick off at about the same time. Go and sign up for your favorite game or DM.


At church today, while reading the prayer list out loud, one of the priests said we are supposed to pray this week for "Tinuviel", I kid you not. I did a double take and my daughter, who sometimes reads along the thread, started giggling out loud.

Guess that's my brush with greatness for the day...
