Will we have to spike Sabrik's drink to get him to travel by boat? Similar as what the A-team does with B.A. every time they need to fly.
Actual gunslingers craft bullets at 1/10th the price. as an alchemist I'd be following the crafting rules and only getting a 1/3rd discount.
Not the best trade off unless Kevroth desperately needs to add more bullets. Magnes however does not know that Kevroth has some secret trick to making bullets and as such assumes he would be able to do it as good if not better.
Magnes does in fact have a bit of an ego when it comes to brewing and alchemical crafting (not that he shares knowledge of his skills in the second freely.)
@Magnes
On arrival the Dhouvarr would depart the group for a small time after learning of a meeting point to greet the local sect of Olar Galafin trying to barter some of his potent brew for a trade of theirs.After having been given direction by some locals, you reach the temple of Olar Galafin, a festhall called The Gleemaster's Goblet in the Caeldan Commons. A band of minstrels are playing and the patrons are merrily drinking and dancing, while some are playing cards and dice. In the middle of the festhall there is a large shrine with a statue of the Lord of Mirth holding a goblet. You see several patrons filling some of what they're drinking in the goblet, and each time it spills over.Magnes would look for one wearing the vestments of priest or ask for where he might find one. On discovering a priest he would introduce himself as Magnes, travelling brewmaster.
The dwarf would inform the priest he had some potent liqour he'd like to offer as tribute to the Gleemaker. In exchange he would ask to fill his emptied cask of mead with whatever liquor the Lord of mirth would feel fit to gift him. Preferably something new so he might learn more from it.
The priest of Olar Galafin is the owner of the festhall, a merry krimir who introduces himself as Marion Balin. He trades you a bottle of rum and six flasks of mead for the moonshine.
*shrug* I'm fairly sure that alchemical cartridges fall under the 'bullet/ammunition' rules. Seems really silly to include items specifically for gunslingers and not let them use their class features with it.
"Got yer potion of remove fear right here."
Yep. Definitely not scotch. Seems legit.
@Chingo
Ohhh... Rum. proper drink for travelling the rivers.
Sounds like a fine trade to me.
Perhaps I should have actually written in Magnes distributing the money.
Assuming normal scroll costs, 50gp for Koija.
One scroll to use and one scroll to learn the spell with.
then just for the sake of keeping even lets say we divvy the coin up the same way. 50gp to each.
As such each of the groups of 2 have 100gp to purchase what they need with.
as stated in gameplay, I was planning on taking 50 just in case I need to pay for "custom order" or whatever excuse a shopowner could come up with to increase the price.
Well, I didnt take any but we can roleplay it later out :)
Bhalur is anyway happy with that but he will surely at somepoint require money back or in other way of exchanging stuff. Charity is not really thing if you are not a monk :P
I am happy that we are able to advance plus post quite a lot but even then I do have to admit there is small problems but not serious ones.
Kaijo and Kevroth are a bit lagging behind when we 3 (bhalur, sabrik and magnes dominate with talking) and there is quite a lot overlapping with messages so need to do a bit editing
So, yes. I need to have one rank of craft:alchemy to make my own cartridges. But if i do, which I do, I can make the alchemical cartridges with the same rules as I use for regular bullets.
@Chingo: If I already have powder and bullets, can I just obtain some of the special papers to make paper cartridges? Say, by paying the difference.
@Kevroth Sure
*chuckle* Having just parsed over pathfinders magic bullets I think I may have to get Magnes to pick up a blunderbuss just to have the chance to Shoot this at my enemies.
@Sabrik Sure
I've got dark vision so I think I'm good.
Bhakiris got also Dark Visions just to know Sabrik
the legacy thing is that Darkvision is either black and white or fuzzy. Having a lantern means you don't need to worry over that sort of thing.
Also Lantern oil is an absolutely boss item to have on hand. It cts as alchemist fire for about hundreth of the cost. Just requires a full round action to add a wick before you can use it.
Though if you were to have one person throw alchemist fire and the rest of the party throw lamp oil?
If we wanted a quality map of a large area with side roads, hills cliffs and other passages yes.
I doubt the equivalent of ham fisted directions are going to cost much.
I mean with a name like 'Blackrose' I figure all we need to do is follow the flocks of ravens and sighing love-struck maidens to find our mark.
Lol. Ain't nothing wrong with some gothic romance!
My all time favorite magic item in pathfinder Traveler's anytool rest assure that I'll be aiming to pick one up for Magnes once we get enough free cash.
Well, I like to play these games as realistic as I can :) and hey, you never know if we sometimes come back to this region!
We might be surprised and Bhalur isnt really familiar with the places so he likes to know what is where and how to get there easily.
Without forgetting the bonuses to KN:Geography -> getting my lvl 2 skill point there and maybe language after Koiji start teaching Draconic lol
"where's the local tavern? If we're going to find them, Magnes will be there.
That was a great line there. you made my pet cat look at me weird.
As to beheadings, Magnes has some wheels turning. Remember that while the detective might be a good source of information we have no way to confirm the story until we go there.
It could very well still be a Dhamphir bewitching a noble lady, but an elopement is entirely possible as well.
Now the trouble is going to come when we get back in a group and realize two things.
1. We are very likely working for the bad guy
2. If we don't deliver we are unlikely to get another job. Nobles talk with each other after all.
Which means we need a clever and ingenious plot to fake a decapitation, bring the lady back home and then get the two out. Doubtlessly our prospective lady and her tramp are going to disagree with this plan wanting us to just leave without any money.
So more than likely a morale improving beating will be required.
Well, I do like to mention that Bhalur is LG and this whole planning for faking and stuff does not sit well ahah
But in the other hand its anyway humans doing human stuff plus business as long as it doesnt really bring dragons or other bhakiris in danger
@Magnes Glad the slight noir vibe sits well with you
@Everyone Really enjoying to see how involved you all are getting with the story already
Magnes is neutral/unaligned. His current interest in the events stem from his background and his understanding of the byzantine Dhouvarr political structure deep under the mountain. He dislikes the game with a passion and will always feel for those ground under its wheels.
So really the only reason he isn't going 'Oh well guess I'm breaking up a couple today' is the situation in particular.
I've also always wanted to have an excuse to try and pull of a heist on a noble in a game, even if our party is entirely unsuited for such a venture. I don't think any of us even have stealth as a skill with ranks.

But we should definitely go along with the story. And one good sign that we are wrong is guards, traps, and evil associated rituals or auras.
Edit: than again, this was an old vampire's castle... We may encounter old traps and my wake up some old victims... Or not.
Frankly, dhampir is a cool race. You can eventually drink blood like real vampire.,
Last post, peace everyone!
Kevroth is almost entirely overwhelmed by the enormous city and all of its people all crammed in like a barrel of fish. He has barely been following all of this intrigue and so far he has managed to hold on to the fact that things are not how the rich guy in the big house presented them.
He is NG and will likely be all for helping the young lovers.
His main motivation is money at this point. He has come to understand that the musket is very expensive to feed, and he is sure that if he could afford a few new parts, he could make it so much more reliable.
Provided you will allow us to craft magical items, how could I apply Master Craftsman to making a magical gun?
See you tomorrow Sabrik.
Alright, I'm back. Now let's see...
@Kevroth That's a tricky one. Off the bat, I'd say as it is a magic weapon you'll be creating, you'll follow the rules for magic item creation, substituting Spellcraft with Craft (Gunsmithing), but I see the problem with you having the feat Gunsmithing and not Craft (Gunsmithing) as a skill. Hmmm.. Let me think on it.
