There are definitely places to get potions or even spellcasting services done. You can buy whatever you like with the money/loot you have recieved within the campaign and if you wanted to spend you character money you could do that as well (would just note it down on the chronicle sheet. THough might as well use what you got from the loot as that all goes away at the end anyway.

As far as temporary items go we might want to consider lesser Restoration scrolls, oils of Magic Weapon (in case the shadow decides to show up again. Perhaps something to deal with that mist (gust of wind scroll?). Alch Fire and or Acid are always classics too if we don't have them. Oh and maybe something that might help in the room that was collapsing if we plan to try and remove a gem.

I figured we'd reach the yellow crystals by climbing up to the balcony and going the reverse direction this time - avoid the collapsing hall and the shades (though I do think we need the oils of magic weapon still).
I don't remember reading that Tam kicked something in the purple smoke room, but I was also thinking about a gust of wind for that room. I don't think we have anyone to cast it, though.

It was when she was coming out of the mist room, just before the bugs attacked.
Tam makes her way toward Olik, but nearly trips on something in the mist on the way, as it clinks across the floor. She catches herself though and makes it out of the room.
Weren't the yellow crystals in the collapsing room?
So for temp stuff does this work :
2x CLW potion (100gp which would add to the two from the module to give us four)
3x Magic Weapon Oils (150gp)
1x Scroll of Lesser Restoration (150gp)
1x light pick (4gp)
Assuming we get ~150gp per Mwk item we'd need to kick in 129gp from the gold pile to pick all this up. That would leave around 110gp or so. All of this stuff poofs at the end of the level.
You're right about gust of wind, won't work unless someone has UMD. Hold our breath?
From just the MW weapon/armor and the nice sword you have 2437. That doesn't include any other things you found.

I thought the yellow crystals were just past the collapsing room, which I remember as more of a hallway. (A10 the collapsing hallway, A11 the room with the crystals and stirges.)
So all this stuff on Olik's shopping list will also go poof? Is 1 scroll of Lesser Restoration enough for Olik's ability loss? I thought he was down to 2 on the str. Was the shade's damage only a magical effect that's wiped out with one casting? And the bug's was temporary ability damage that cured with one night's rest? Sorry - not too experienced with ability damage and restoration.
Otherwise, everything sounds good, though I might add a grappling hook to help reach the balcony. I think we ought to avoid the shade's room. I think even in character the party would be prudent to avoid something that's caused so much damage, even if it meant going all the way around, though I could also see them trying to run through the room to avoid another encounter with it instead. But I don't think we need anything from that room.

Olik bought spellcasting services at the temple of Gorum. It's only 60 per Lesser Restoration to have it cast so I kind of hand waved it with the price of the sword. Since we're using that now I'll roll for the restorations to see how many it would have taken. (it's 1d4 points of a stat recovered per casting). Overnight rest gives you 1 point back to each stat. The scroll was just for if we hit something else.
Grappling hook sounds good and is only a couple gold. Just to clarify since all the items/gold we're using and the items we buy with it are temporary I've been only loosely accounting (basically as long as it seems we have more than enough to cover the purchases I'm not too concerned about how much we have left). Dak if you want a more specific accounting just let me know.
No I am fine with the loose accounting since it all goes away anyway and since you getting anything crazy expensive you should have more than enough to cover minor magic items.

So is it safe to calculate that we spent two nights and one day in town before heading back to the dungeon?
Just making sure that Jirani had a chance to heal hp up to full.
Starting at 11/20 hp.
Night 1: +1 hp
Day 1: Batah could channel a couple times at the end of the day
Night 2: +1 hp, though I think everyone was up to full with two channels by Batah.
Day 2: we head back to the dungeon
I have no problem with you taking 2 nights to rest before returning.
Posting this to all my games. I am heading out of town tomorrow until Mon-Tues next week. I should still be able to get a post in at least daily but it is possible that might not happen. Just wanted to give a heads up.
Thanks!
Back home and to a regular posting schedule.
You had also examined the tapestry that was all about the same time. OOC the info you have is about as much as you will find.

Tam may have to make the Knowledge (nature) roll. Jirani doesn't have the skill.
I'd found where we checked the tapestry - it just said the top star was 'Red star?'.
If anything, I was thinking we should be looking at the night sky or star charts or something to get any clues regarding placement.
Anything to the carvings above the door, or is that what the nature check is for?
The only other thing I can think of: if it is a rainbow reference, I don't think we have an indigo stone. Blue and purple, yes, but nothing in between.
All I can say is ;D
Alright, so congrats on reaching the end of the first dungeon level! At this point I will get your chronicles together and then we can make plans on moving forward. I should hopefully have those out sometime soon, though it may be next weekend before it happens just due to some RL time constraints.
I definitely want to do an interest check for who all plans to continue forward onto the next level so I can plan accordingly.
Also a reminder, you will be getting 3 XP and 4 Prestige Points for this one.
That is correct. You will all need to level up before we proceed and let me know if you have any plans for purchases/sales in between.
So as you all may have noticed over the last couple weeks my posting has been rather sporadic. As it stands my life is in a bit of a mess between moving, looking for a new job, some legal proceedings and my wife having recently had a pretty hefty medical procedure. All in all I don't have a lot of mental bandwidth to keep up with my games at the moment and I don't forsee that changing until at least the middle of June if not longer.
Hopefully you all are willing to stick it out and take a break for a bit and I can get my life sorted and then we can jump back into things. If not I completely understand. Sorry for the delays once again. This year has been... a lot.
