DM Rah's Thornkeep - "Part 4 - The Dark Menagerie" (Inactive)

Game Master Kobash

Check in and declare any purchases please. Official start of the game will be in about 2 weeks.

Checking in. All big purchases were made on her last chronicle sheet and tracked in the profile.

Checking in; All purchases are on chronicles (which is super easy when nearly every chronicle is a whole level.) I think just a con belt, cha headband, and Muleback Cords for Snave (so he can carry me around.)

I played Barlor over the weekend and leveled him up to 5th. Ready to roll!
I have a good deal of gold, but nothing especially to buy...

Excellent! Once Pai is ready I'll get this started.

Checking in. My game has slowed unfortunately. I'll keep you updated.

I don't mind the delay; I want to essentially audit László to see how much cash I have on hand, and I won't have time until tomorrow or Friday.

I'm thinking about starting in a week. I know Pai is a little hung up at the moment. I'm hoping she'll jump in a little late, but still in time to get credit. Is everyone else good?

Sounds good to me.

Whatever works. I'm not going anywhere.

Same here; Turg was designed to play most of Thornkeep, so her availability is maximum.

Works for me, I'm fine waiting longer if need be.

That's nice, guys. I'm trying my hardest to get free as quickly as possible!

Money updated; just have to figure out what to buy with several thousand gold.

I think I'll get a masterwork rapier (320 gp), an amulet of natural armor +1 (2000 gp), have my mw chain enchanted to +1 (1000 gp), and get a belt of incredible dexterity +2 (4000 gp), for a total of 7320 gp spent.

Slight change; make the rapier cold iron, for an additional 20 gp, and also get a masterwork alchemic silver mace (325 gp) and a masterwork darkwood buckler (203 gp). Total expenditure now 7868 gp.

We just got through...waiting on a sheet. Nothing about Pai will change! though other than additional gold. So if Rah can let me start without having my updated chronicle yet, I'm ready.

Cold Iron doubles the masterwork cost as well, iirc.

Actually Barlor, I don't think it does.

Here is a link for a masterwork cold iron longsword straight from the PRD. Cost 330gp.

Also, is Raul going to play Murder on the Throaty Mermaid?

Well isn't that something.

Yeah, I just checked in to discussion. Haven't looked at gameplay yet. Much sickness has been upon me.

No worries. I know how that is. This year has been bad. I've already had the flu, the cold, and pinkeye.

@Rah: Before we get started, I wanted to check with you to see if you have any issue with using a spring-loaded wrist sheath to produce a scroll. Maddie has a Breath of Life scroll in hers, so I wanted to ask about it before it matters in combat.

You know, I'm not sure. The forums seem split on that. Anyone have an opinion?

I've been at tables with both rulings, and the bipolarness on a decision is justified. The fact that scrolls are supposed to come in tubes while rolled up (and discusses why) implies to me that putting them in something that'll shoot them out within a second might damage it. My games, I've said "No" to spring-loaded but "Yes" to the mundane ones. I can understand either ruling, though, and simply carried the scroll around for BoL scrolls.

I wasn't aware there was a debate. I wouldn't personally see any issue from a balance perspective, but what do I know?

I'm going to be away from keyboard the rest of today and into tomorrow morning. Should be back on tomorrow afternoon.

Please autoplay Akuma and I until Tuesday.

GM Rah: Were you intending on running these characters through the last Thornkeep area when we're finished with this one?

If everyone wants to finish this I will happily run the last part.

I'm up for that.

I thought this *was* the last part. Hah!
Well sign me up I guess.

Sounds good to me, too. What's the minimum level for the last part?

Yes I will do it.

In the module Sanctum of a Lost Age is listed before Dark Menagerie, and both are accessed from the Enigma Vaults, but Menagerie is more appropriate to run first and Sanctum is actually designed for higher level PCs (Sanctum is Tier 6-8).

Woo hoo! Pai is in.

My posting will continue to be slow for at least today. Hopefully this weekend, work will slow down and I can be a little more present!

László is currently L5, so after this he'll be able to go on.

ETA: He also isn't committed to anything for the PbP game day; the only thing I'll be doing is running Godsmouth Heresy and maybe something else if we wrap that in time.

Busy today. Will try to post tonight, but might be tomorrow.

At a con this weekend please auto play Ayaki

Busy day. Will try to update later.

Long day at work. Will try to update after getting some sleep.

Heal Day Job: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

I'm up for continuing with Maddie, although if you could hold off starting until at least after the weekend so I don't have to rush leveling her up, I'd appreciate it.

Take your time. I'm a little swamped with work and games, so I could use a little time before starting it.

Yes, a weeks grace would be super.

No day job, but Pai is in for the next scenario.

Profession (merchant) day job roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

I'm also up for the last part, and wouldn't mind taking some time off before we get started with it.

Profession (farmer): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
PFS # 37563-5

Turg is the fabulous queen who is great at everything, which takes up all her free time. (read: no day job.) Thanks for running! 22357-... uhh, lemme double-check. 22357-19

I'm totally in for the end of Thornkeep, though if I have a Skull and Shackles credit to put on Turg, she'll be 8th for maximum survivability (for maximum summoning of FABULOUS UNICORNS with her SLA.) Maximum!

67750-2

I'm fine with taking a week. I'll leave this thread open so we can coordinate easier.
