Deus Est Machina: Dragoncat's Iron Gods (Inactive)

Game Master Dragoncat

Indeed. :)

You're welcome Dejah. Though I am beginning to wish I could have used one of the batteries we found and sold it so I could have had a bit more funds for scrolls. >.<

And about the Silver disks themselves, I basically used them. Just converted the amount they are worth into gold for ease of management. Since each one is worth a platinum piece, or 10 gold each.

The batteries on the other hand since it looks like we are saving those, are worth 100 Gold each.

GM Ironcat: Thanks! Also, when you get a chance, can you give me a coin figure for the sold items, so Dejah can divide the amount among the adventurers? Thanks. :)

Am I correct in assuming you keep all the unclaimed potions, silverdisks (aside from the ones used for purchases) & keycards?

It sounds about right. There should be 56 silver disks laying about, with a few of them being working batteries?

Also, unless we have other purchases to do, I think I am ready to head back to the Foundry and begin doing the work of adding spells and making scrolls. And maybe also take another shot at that big machine with the Technomancy spell. Since I have Technologist, that is a +10 to the Kn Engineering! ^_^

Alright--that should make my job easier.

Incidentally, did anyone claim the masterwork gear?

Dejah divided ALL the silver discs among the group. The batteries are part of the group loot we aren't selling, yes (some have been claimed already). We are also keeping the potions as group loot.

I believe Jasper wanted/claimed the Masterwork +1 Studded Leather. I'll look back at the list to see of any of the other masterwork items were claimed.

Keeping:

* 6 x Cure Light Wounds (group loot)
* 2 x Potion of Invisibility (group loot)
* 1 x +1 Studded Leather (claimed by Jasper)
* 56 batteries (worth 56 platinum pieces) (group loot)
* 3 Black Technology cared (valued @ 3 gp each). The rest were divided. (group loot)

----------

Selling:

* 6 x Masterwork Studded Leather armour
* 1 x ordinary studded leather armour
* 1 x Masterwork Buckler
* 3 x shortswords
* 1 x hand crossbow (with 10 bolts)
* 1 x masterwork rapier
* 1 x ordinary rapier
* 1 x ordinary sap
* 1 x Masterwork Thieves' Tools
* 6 x sunrods
* 1 x garnet

------

Triax, I have given you the masterwork sap instead of the ordinary sap - please note that down on your sheet. You also have the silver pick axe you claimed.

Is everyone sure they don't want any of the above "selling" items?

Dejah took the following: * 1 x shortbow (with quiver with 11 common arrows)

Unless anyone wishes to claim any of that, the total GP from selling the loot is...

(Incidentally, did you remember the silverdisks you got from the Skulk Leader? And I think Tabitha wanted the mwk Thieves' Tools...)

...961.5 GP total. That's including the Mwk Thieves' Tools.

Tabitha already claimed one of the MW Thieve's Tools. There was originally three I think.

In that case, any additional Mwk Thieves' Tools would get you an additional 50 GP on top of the totals I've calculated.

I don't need any of that loot. :)

Well, I am still curious about the 56 silverdisks we got while under the Hill. Are we going to split those up as well?

Those items in the selling column were the remaining items after people claimed their stuff. There was one m/w thieves tools remaining (1 from 3) after Dejah and Tabitha claimed a set each.

We received a pouch with 49 batteries, worth 10gp each from Sef, the Skulk leader. We then found 7 more silver disks/batteries in the gremlin rubble pile, totalling 56. So, yes, I included the batteries we received from the Skulks.

I'm getting confused b/w the use of silver disks and batteries? At times they seem to be different things and other times the same thing. Please clarify, GM Ironcat.

As to the 56 batteries, yes we can divide them, but when I asked twice before, no one said anything. So, I didn't divide them up.

No worries re not wanting any of the loot, Kadosh. :) (Although to be honest, Dejah already gave you your portion of the silver disks she found in Garmen's warehouse. ;))

Thanks for the sale figure, GM Ironcat.

961.5 GP (this includes the value of the one set of m/w Thieves tools) split 8 ways (Dejah, Jasper, Tabitha, Kadosh, Triax, Val, Cade, Viorec) = 120gp to each person (with 1.5gp left in the group kitty).

56 batteries split 8 ways = 7 batteries per person, each valued at 10gp/1 platinum piece.

Please note the above on your sheets.

On Silverdisks & Batteries

Silverdisks = batteries. 'Silverdisks' is what most folks call them--'battery' is their proper name. Sorry if this resulted in any confusion.

Thanks for clarifying. Just wanted to make sure re the terms.

Oh! Also thank you for clarifying GM. Was a bit confused by that as well. Thought we found working batteries. Not just the burnt out 'Silverdisk' kind.

At least that clears it up.

Okay, looks like I forgot completely of the magic weapon scroll I have bought near the start of this PBP. I decided to add Air Bubbble, Magic Weapon, and Vanish to my spellbook. Leaving the scroll of Identify alone for now.

Though I am ready to start the way down, but can I have visited the General Store again before we head under the Hill? I want to get 150 Gold worth of Inscribing Supplies for more scrolls, just in case. Is that alright?

I'm good to go as well.

If it us helpful, technological gear (including batteries aka silver disks) are discussed in the prd here.

Silver disks as coinage can't be recharged (barring DM fiat), while silver disks as batteries can (with 20% failure chance). So, you should track the two separately.

Under the weather due to a nasty, persistent virus. Will try to post tomorrow. Sorry for the hold up.

Ouch. Sorry to hear it.

Hope you get well soon!

Thanks, GM Ironcat. The doc thinks I have whooping cough and has taken a swab. But for now, I'm still very sick and I'll be off the boards until Monday. My apologies. Please bot where necessary.

GM, I am still curious if Tabitha was able to get more inscribing supplies for scrolls before heading underneath the Hill?

You were.

Just FYI, the ball and chain is home from medical school through May 1, so my posting may be a bit spotty for a bit (though I usually still have time to do quick updates). Feel free to DMPC me as needed.

Thank you GM. I'll make my post now.

I'm still very ill but I will attempt to catch up on the posts I have missed over last week and figure out what's happening and then will try and have Dejah act at some point soon. Sorry for the hold up but I don't have much energy in reserve at the moment. Thank you, kindly.

Take your time, Dejah. Your health is more important.

Thanks, GM Ironcat. Nothing's changed health wise, but I will try and post from this point on.

I'll get a post up to move us along in the morning.

Also, that is a good idea Kadosh. I am going to borrow it.

Thanks. I've found as a player that's the easiest way for me to keep track of things, as otherwise I have to open up the character alias page and hit edit and it's just a lot more steps that I invariably forget to do. Especially at higher levels when I may have a lot of effects, I can just list them all there too so I don't forget them.

I originally really liked doing the stats in the race line of the alias, but I found I wasn't good about keeping it up to date. I haven't played a ton of spellcasters, but I feel like this is the best way for me to remember what I've got prepared, etc.

When we start a new fight, I go into my posts and just look for the last time I posted it and copy-and-paste the info in. When we sleep, I just use it from the "macro" I've built at the top of my character sheet.

Jasper's player attended a funeral today and will not be back on the boards until tomorrow.

Sorry to hear it.

To everyone: how would you like me to handle saving throws? Up until now I've rolled all of them for the party to save time, but would you like to roll them yourselves instead?

I'd like to roll my own saves.

My vote would be we roll them.

I was going to say you roll them, but there are a lot of special abilities that depend upon the roller having a chance to modify the roll which require player participation. Maybe not so much for this party, although Dejah might have a few relevant abilities.

I am fine either way. I can see an expedient way by you rolling it. But I can see the satisfaction by rolling out own save and making it.

i like rolling saves but im fine with you rolling other stuff like passive perception rolls and stuff like that.

Alright--current majority will be for rolling your own saves. :)

I'm fine either way. I find it's usually less work on the GM for players to roll their own saves, but I've got no strong feelings.

GM Irocat: I'm assuming that because its whole body is now inside its shell we don't have to roll a Fort save when we draw near this round? And secondly, if it's out of its shell and as long as we are near the thing and not entrapped, we have to roll a Fort save each round to save from being entrapped?

Dejah: I'll rule that you don't need to make Fort saves on approach while it's hiding in its shell. If it's out of its shell, you'll need to make Fort saves every round you're within 10 ft of it to avoid entrapment.

I'll put a post up to move us along in the morning.

Okay, thanks. Dejah is not in its 10 ft entrapment zone at the moment and won't draw any nearer. ;)

I'll get a post up to move us along in the morning. Sorry to have kept you waiting this long.

Tomorrow (Saturday for me), I will be out of town undertaking some family funerary obligations and Sunday is of course Mother's Day and I have my family up and we'll be celebrating together. So my posting will be sporadic at best over this period. Just wanted to let you guys know.

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers and carers!

Just FYI, I'll be out of town Friday-Monday, with probably pretty limited posting ability (i.e. between minimal and none).

Thanks for letting us know, Kadosh. Safe trip to you.

I am withdrawing from the game. I wish you all well and happy gaming.

Sorry to see you go, Dejah. I enjoyed your character a lot. Best of luck.

I am sorry to see you go as well Dejah. May you have fun in future games.
