FIND A KEY...TEMPT FATE ITSELF (Inactive)

Game Master Gilthanis

I can live with that ;)

Will make my action then.

at the risk of being a pest; Eb goes before the bat so his evil eye takes affect on his initiative count, and the bat has a -2 on its round 2 action, which means it missed Dolgrin. Also, didn't Triba's CMW potion heal all of Dolgrin's damage?

no worries about being pesky, i can and do make mistakes...just not this time.

surprise round, bat one init between him and Dolgrin, and crit him and dropped him, until Triba pointed out that 17 hp at level 3 seems low, so I did a minor rewind, damage on, CLM on but surprise round gone because we already went to round one.

round 1: you cast misfortune, it saved it then attacked Dolgrin and hit for 11 damage.
round 2: evil eye, fails save, so this round now takes a -2 to atk...make sense?

Gotcha. My bad, I was rushing ahead.

No worries :). I will take all the help I can get to make sure everything is right :)

buff-stacking go! ;)

So currently we have bless & inspire courage (correct me if I'm wrong) running?

So +1 morale bonus on attack & saving throws vs fear and enchantment spells and +1 competence bonus on attack & weapon damage.
The bonus vs fear overlaps as they are both morale bonuses.
If Marvin gets his Freebooter's Bane going, that would be another +1 untyped bonus to attack and damage.

Which would total us at +3 bonus on attack & +2 bonus on weapon damage :)
Pretty nice ^_^

Btw, is there are reason that Triba is still only lvl 2

Must have just not updated the stat line. She has 2 levels of bard and 1 of rogue.

This is a heads-up to all the games I'm in right now. My wife and I are in the process of moving, and the official day is July 28th. Due to all the packing/traveling/getting setup craziness, my posting will be slow to nonexistent for a little bit. Feel free to bot me as needed.

congrats, have a good move and hope all goes well :)

Wish you the best of luck on moving. I know it can be a lot of work.
It's weird what one can amass over the span of a few years...

Good lord I surely hate moving. Hope it all goes smoothly.

This is going out to all my campaigns. As most of you know, I'm preparing to move to the Orlando/Winter Park area. Today is the fun "pack up all nonessential items because the UHaul comes this afternoon" day. Once I end this post, I'll have no computer access until I get Wifi hooked up at the new place - hopefully only a couple days, but we'll see. Bot me as needed; I'll be back soon. :-)

Have a good move.

About the scratching we here on the other side of the door, if it's a swarm, do we have any tools against it? I know I don't have any AoE attacks, spells, alchemist's fire or acid flasks that can deal with swarms.

I have chord of shards.

Vomit swarm. Can swarms damage each other?

Swarms are effectively AOE attacks, so I would say yes, but I guess the GM would have to make the call.

The little creatures will be having an entire mass scale war that we won't be able to appreciate.

I will certainly appreciate it more than them eating me.

Swarms CAN damage swarms. Swarms are an area effect as far as I am concerned. So will that be you're course of action, presuming it is a swarm that is XD

yes, yes it will.

Do we have a way to open the door remotely so it is down to just HOT SWARM ON SWARM ACTION ?

The best way would be the open/close cantrip, but I don't think anyone has that prepared.

I HAVE INTERNET AGAIN!!! It'll take me a little while to catch up on all my campaigns, but I'll be able to start meaningful gameplay posts tomorrow at the latest. :-)

welcome back! Lulu missed mister stinger

welcome back :)

I'm going to be pretty much netless till Sunday, perhaps Monday. Bot me as needed.

Will be out of town and fairly non networked, so bot me as needed. Will be back on Sunday night.

Well we were kinda waiting on what our fiendish puppy will do. So that's ok :)

Items I know went to a certain person or were going to go to a certain person (if not added to their sheet yet) have the name of that person added behind it.

Going back through the posts made me notice a few things :
- We never checked the duergar for items after the big fight where Triba joined.
- I think we had the key for the chest guarded by the statues
- That's a whole bunch of stuff we got there. I did see that Eb mentioned this on the first page of the gameplay topic "Eb will stock up on food (bumping to 1 weeks worth of trail rations), and look into buying a mule or pack horse for everyone's gear.", which might come in handy :)

Let me know how we plan on dividing the loot proper?

Was personally thinking of maybe taking Heavy Armor proficiency as a feat, to be able to wear the MW Fullplate. @GM, how much would it cost to have it refitted to my character? From the Fullplate entry: Each suit of full plate must be individually fitted to its owner by a master armorsmith, although a captured suit can be resized to fit a new owner at a cost of 200 to 800 (2d4 × 100) gold pieces.

As stated in the gameplay topic, we could still go check if there's anything worthwhile in the "Brown Mold" room (3a & 3b) (other than skeletons), but someone would need to prepare ray of frost to deal with the mold then. :-)

Wow, nice loot tracking.

I would guess that they want you to actually roll the 2d4, so the price would be completely off of chance. IMHO.

ray of frost is not in the witch spell list, so one of the others will have to take care of that...

Nice work on the loot list.

I will have to see how much coin we have for buying stuff. There's not much stuff which actually appeals to me on the list.

If I have enough cash I'd like to magic the my bow up to +1 and add adaptive. I would also like to get a mithril chain shirt (and make it magic if I can afford it).

Leveled up to 5th, but I'm waiting to update my profile for when I figure out what gear I will have available. No point in doing it twice.

Took iron will, and upped my strength to 12. That's really all the significant changes (other than normal advancement of skills). Also, my freebooter's bane increases to +2 which is nice.

Well once we figure out everything we wish to sell from the list, we can go about figuring out how much gold we have available for upgrades.
I quickly summed up the known value of all the money and items that sell for their apparent value (didn't feel checking the armor/weapon list for prices yet, also because I don't know what we're going to sell)
And I came to a total of 3641-3691 GP 9 SP 5 CP. And this is not counting the unappraised items with a fixed value, so I think a +1 bow should be possible. Depending on those unappraised items and our surplus weapons/armor maybe even adaptive. :-)

Another point, I wouldn't mind giving up the Pearl of Power/Ring of protection to even out loot division if it would seem necessary.

Currently I have a pearl of power lvl 1 (1000 GP), ring of protection +1 (2000 GP) and was looking at the full plate to increase my AC (1500 GP worth + 200 to 800 GP to make it fit for my character), so that would be around 4700 GP - 5300 GP worth of the total loot, so seems a bit much, compared to the rest for now.

Two important things of my character getting to lvl 5.
1) lvl 3 spells ^_^
2) I now have a +2 to initiative thanks to my archetype (half class lvl on initiative), and you guys all get a +1 to initiative thanks to the same ability (as for allies it's only 1/4 my class level), but only when you can see/hear me, which shouldn't be that much of a problem most of the time ^_^

Damn, I wasn't keeping track of your loot very well...I am unsure where you are at "WBL" wise...I got some homework to do for the next "chapter".

Anyways, it will cost GP armor fitting: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

700 GP it is. Seems appropriate as it will need a quite a bit of cleaning, what with it being a possessed armor and such ... ;)

Seeing as WBL for a lvl 5 character is 10,500 gp per character. I think we're currently going to end up under that amount, as I don't think some of the unidentified/unappraised items we found are going to have super high gp values :-)

WBL for 5th level is 10.5K, I rather expect we're well below that.

The only thing missing from the loot list is the fact that I have that 500gp Duergar coin. If I remember right, I'd done the appraising and told the party it was worthless. ;-)

Leveling won't take me too long: really just need to pick some spells. Also, I can handle the ray of frost need if we go back to the mold room. Just let me know.

So the only things with no price tag are the 2 gems (ruby & turquoise)

I forgot to tag one item with the [unappraised] tag :)

Here's the full list of unappraised/identified items :
1 perfect cut ruby gem (found in the same area where we found the cloak of resistance)
1 onyx key (also found in that area, radiates a magic aura) uncertain if this is actually still worth anything? Maybe Binx can use it for his onyx collection? ;)
turquoise gem the size of a quarter (found near baby ooze)
princess cut ruby (found in church alcove)
magic sack (found in the webbed alcoves under the church, radiates magic aura)
6 beads (3 made of iron, 3 made of cold iron) (found in area 19)
2 glowing purple crystals (found in area 19)
Silver holy symbol of Duergar God (but I just assume it is worth the same as any other silver holy symbol)

I'm don't have computer access Tues/Thurs due to work, but tomorrow I can appraise everything and take charge of loot tracking if desired.

Spellcraft on magic sack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 (what auras does it radiate?)

Appraise (perfect cut ruby): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Appraise (platinum coin): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Appraise (magic onyx key): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
Appraise (Vampire book): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
Appraise (quarter-sized turquoise gem): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Appraise (princess cut ruby): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Appraise (iron beads): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Appraise (cold iron beads): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Appraise (purple crystals): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
Appraise (holy symbol): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Loot list will be under my profile shortly. I just need to research some prices. Also, if there's no objection, I'll take all the alchemicals for foci/power components.

EDIT: If we sell everything, we should net approximately 6600-6700gp before factoring in the unappraised items.

EDIT 2: Also, I'm leveled up and ready to go. I have ray of frost prepared. The only major change is that I have access to 2nd-level spells now. Also, I have all Knowledges trained now. :-)

Updated

I will be away for a few days and posting may be sporadic. Bot me as needed. I will be back online regularly on Wednesday next week.

How is the leveling going with everyone. I know Binx and Dolgrin are ready. What about Marv and Triba and Eb?

Well as stated I am ready.

I'm not certain what would happen in that one room we could look at on the way out (the mold room with the 2 skeletons), but if nothing much is happening before we sell the loot and buy upgrades, it might be nice if we could figure out the totals, so we can see what Marvin could use for bow & armor upgrades :)

Check my profile for the loot list. If we sell everything, we'll have approximately 8800 gp.

Sorry all, I've over extended myself with too many PBPs and my heart's just not in this any more. At this point I think I'm just slowing everybody else down so I am going to withdraw.

GM Stylz, thanks for the great adventure and happy gaming!

All good, no worries. Thanx for playing.
