Quill's opinion is that his character sheet only matters to himself and the GM. As long as we both have access to his crunch, no one else needs to. It's not like "real" adventurers would be sharing things like how resistant they are to mind-affecting spells. Besides, this way he is covered when one of you turns traitor and starts selling secrets to the enemy.
But that's in book 2
Does the enemy have a good dental plan?
Pretty sure they'll happily remove all your teeth if you like

Still need a second-level spell. How do you feel, GM, about heroic fortune, which gives hero points? (Obviously we're not playing with those typically, but as a spell? Not sure if that might be too powerful with them not in regular use.)
Tied up, with a knife to his throat.
Welcome Kipa to the group!
@Sander - as a level 2 spell, sure why not?
Awesome. Storn, Dieter, Quill, you guys may want to look into that spell as I imagine that might be an extract I hand off to you guys.
Not at my home computer but I probably have time to brew a potion if someone has one they want.
Oh, that's a good idea!
If we have that much time, I could probably craft an item, so long as it's not too expensive to make and the Orcs can provide me with some components. ;)
Ooh! That looks fun. I'll take forty. :D
Just s'long as you dish out the money. :p
Not much other than potions you can craft over night
Sure thing, but we need to know when we have the time. ^_^ Check with Overlord Bigrin. ;)
Not for a while, sorry. You are on a timeline here. Captain Bloodtusk has other deliveries to make.

In theory, according to the Item Creation rules, Molly can craft while adventuring. Each day, which doesn't need to be consectutive, she can put in 4 hours of time which translates into 2 hours of work.
Could Molly do that to create a Pearl or two over the next 5/10 days?
I was going to note the same thing, which deals with the time issue. The question -- which I glossed over in my own potion creation -- is supplies.
IMO, I'm happy to just subtract the gp for the cost of the item, even if it doesn't make sense as I'd have nowhere to actually spend the money to buy the materials.
With Sander, I handwave that I collect the supplies while foraging, similar to refilling non-expensive spell components, but then the question is why am I subtracting 25 gp (other than to follow the rules) and what happens to that gold. The way I'm playing, I have to literally be melting that gold down and subsuming it in the potion creation as there's no other way to account for it (so I guess all my potions look -- and taste? -- like goldschlager). (Actually, as an alchemist, I'm OK with that but it makes less sense with other magic items.)
We should figure this out as I assume I'll have time to create one 1st-level potion (less than 2 hours) every day of the trip (or slowly work on a higher-level potion), and I think it makes sense for me to do so.
My thought for why Molly couldn't craft while adventuring is this statement.
The creator also needs a fairly quiet, comfortable, and well-lit place in which to work.
But, I see your point, and you can definitely work in 1 hour increments split across multiple days for most things. How about at the start/end of each day I tell you how many hours would be available for crafting?
@Sander - in this case, I can easily see that you might need to get items you couldn't find from the crew, or pay someone to take your shift in the galley so you can finish your potion. There's plenty of RP material to work with on that. Plus, goldschlager potions sound like fun.

This is a good point, but it's addressed later in the topic with a pretty severe penalty:
If the caster is out adventuring, he can devote 4 hours each day to item creation, although he nets only 2 hours’ worth of work. This time is not spent in one continuous period, but rather during lunch, morning preparation, and during watches at night. If time is dedicated to creation, it must be spent in uninterrupted 4-hour blocks. This work is generally done in a controlled environment, where distractions are at a minimum, such as a laboratory or shrine. Work that is performed in a distracting or dangerous environment nets only half the amount of progress (just as with the adventuring caster).
I'm glad we can do some crafting however, and Quill might need to pull a double shift to allow Molly more time to use the feat she took. Is that possible? For Quill to double shift to allow Molly time?

Sander, I think we only have 2 wands of CLW (Storn & Molly, maybe?). Could you start pumping out pots of CLW or CMW?
Just an idea, but the way we've been bleeding...
10-4. I'll work on those unless someone says otherwise. I can even make them 5th level, so they'll heal 1d8+5 (I think I have one of those already, since I can also extend my potions a little bit using my alchemical allocation extracts). They'll cost 125 gp each, with me paying the crew for the materials I need. :)
Crafting a 1st-level PoP would cost 500 gp in components, so I guess it would take me five hours to make one.
Have I got that right?
In either case, I couldn't make more than one per day.
Storn has a wand of CLW which is less than half full at this point.
I'm heading down to St. Martin once again on Friday to see Dr. The Old Ball and Chain and drag her back home with me. I'll be mostly away from keyboard April 21-28 (hopefully able to dive right back in after that, though the wife will be home so we may be a bit busy for a few days -- I can usually post when she's doing things around the house).
I'm still hoping to do my better role-playing post for Sander, but time's starting to catch up with me in terms of preparations. DMPC him as necessary, of course.
@Sander - Roger, wilco, over and out!
@Quill - sure, time sharing is a thing you can do

Yes! Storn has been saying Mariana's name wrong for over two years and he's finally been corrected. The streak is over!

Well played. Quill was never going to correct Storn, of course, for fear of it being like beating a wookie in holochess. Quill likes having his arms in his sockets.
No, it's not that Sander is a gnome. Or a halfling. Or something. It's something else.

Is Quill not cleaning his sword before he puts it away? Because that could get really annoying...
Storn would have words with him about that.
CLEAN YOUR DAMN SWORD YOU STUPID ELF!
Sorry. ok back on track. How would you all like to proceed to the next stop? I only require 2 hours of sleep a night & since i do not need a full 8 for spells, I can cover a large chunk of watch. All I ask is that I am at the start or the end of watch. I hate sleeping for 2 in the middle. breaks up the in ch stuff.
Spells prepared:
0 - Dancing lights, Daze, Detect magic, Guidance
1 - Command, Enlarge person, Mage armour, Silent image
2 - False life, Summon monster II x 2
3 - Lightning bolt x 2
I should probably stay around the middle of the group; if we meet a large number of opponents (or just large opponents), I'd be able to move to the front or back as needed and hurl lightning. After that, I'll switch to summoning support. Healing available as needed.
I recommend we try for as much stealth as we can manage; it's a fortress, after all. If people know we're coming, they'll make it a right nuisance to get in.
I am better as a flanker and will go after things I can Sneak Attack, I also can flank anything w/ 2 allies attacking it no matter their position. I can stick to the middle
Quill may have mentioned it but Storn isn't sneaky. I think we should approach openly but with some scouts a little ahead. Since it's rain + rough country it's not like they'll be seen coming from miles away.
Storn's spells:
1st Obscuring Mist, Shield of Faith x2, Divine Favor, blank slot
2nd Spiritual weapon, burst of radiance, protection from evil (communal), blank slot
:P
I can scout some since I have better stealth then average. Stealth skill of 17 . The only reason I would hesitate to do so is that Kipa is the new guy so may not be 100% trusted, slower then the rest (go short legs) and Quill may cry some (jk)
Dieter, like Storn, is best suited to the direct approach.
I'm decent at stealth (+8), but my perception is less than ideal. Still, I can sneak ahead. ^_^
So Dieter & Storm are the anvils and Quill and Kipa are the hammers & Molly is that powder the blacksmiths use to make the metal working stronger ( aka kill them with spiders or how ever your magic works)
Oops! Thanks for reminding me. Small tweak to spellcasting:
0 - Dancing lights, Daze, Detect magic, Guidance
1 - Command, Enlarge person, Mage armour, Silent image
2 - Summon monster II x 2, Vomit swarm
3 - Lightning bolt x 2
Shouldn't forget one of my best area spells....
DM Bigrin, can I buy a fresh pack of crossbow bolts off the Orcs before we move out? I might need the ammunition....
@Molly - Yes you may.
Thank you! ^_^
On location my understanding is we've set off and are in some nether space of marching. Molly, Quill, and Kipa are a scout team ahead while Storn, Dieter, and Sander are a little ways back. That may be entirely wrong.
My understanding is that Molly & Kipa are on one flank in the wood lines, Quill is doing the same on the other side. You three are just behind us on the main road. We are acting as scouts to cover you and make sure we do not run into something or make sure we all get a heads up on it.
FYI - I will be travelling from Sun-Fri, and I may not be able to post regularly during that time. If I am a player in your game, please feel free to DMPC me to keep the story moving. If I am GMing the game, RP and/or sit on your thumbs until regular GM posts resume.
So I had never dealt with those potions that I brewed while I was on this ship/in St. Maarten. Looking at them, it makes much more sense to do them at first level so let's assume I've handed out four of them (1d8+1) to whoever wants to claim them.
However, when I just went to subtract the cost, I discovered a problem. I apparently have 1,0357 gp. I assume that should be 10,000, not 1,000 but am not 100 percent sure. How much gold do most of you guys have?
1214 gp, but I spent a fair bit on new spells and masterwork weaponry, back in Trunau.

Quill also owes 500 gp to Molly for the Pop1.
We haven't had a cash out in a while and probably won't for a while. You may have 10000gp into future loot payout, but we don't have that much now.
