No worries at all, we all learn from our mistakes.
Xerxes is levelled up. Please note that his initative rose to +4, his perception to +11 (+4 vs traps), and that he gained the Trapfinding ability as his slayer talent. He can now disarm magical traps.
By the way, I'd be grateful if we could buy masterwork thieves' tools to give me an additional +2 on disarming traps and bypassing locks.
How do we stand on party funds? Do we have enough to raise Francis right now, as well as pay for his restoration spells?
Alright! My thoughts on the Ship's Fund and Raise Deads. I think that the cost of resurrecting a player should be aided by the Ship's Fund. I'm thinking 1/3 covered by the Ship's Fund and 2/3 by the player? Additionally, if you have low cash, you can take extra from the Fund, but the next time we get money, then your cut is lessened by your debt.
Thoughts?
---
Francis has enough gold to res either way.
Raise Dead will cost 5,450 with spellcasting services.
Two Restorations will cost 2,560 (1,280 x2) with spellcasting services.
Total: 8,010 GP
With above proposal, the Ship's Fund would be charged 2,670 and Francis would foot 5,340.
Additionally, I have added Zarskia's Loot to the spreadsheet at the bottom. All of the loot we found is marked in yellow. If you want any of her gear, then put your name down, otherwise we liquidate it all for 8,484 GP after the sale price (not including the things marked Keep such as Diamond Dust, Chain Shirt, Headband or Cloak).
That means 848.45 GP to the Ship's Fund and the Crew and 1,696.9 GP to each Free Captain.
In my opinion, the resurrection & restoration costs should be covered 100% by the party funds.
As always I leave the loot and gold distribution up to the players so split it and spend it any way you want.
In my Reign of Winter game this ended up meaning that the oracle had a very low wealth compared to the rest because besides a headband and cloak of resistance she didn't feel her character benefited as much from fancy magical items as the constantly-dying magus did, so she ended up giving most of her funds to the rest of the party. After a while they just stopped dividing the gold and agreed upon who was most in need of an equipment upgrade. The ranger was killing things left and right so she didn't really need an upgraded bow but the magus had terrible defense so they spent a lot of money boosting his AC.
That way of dealing with loot is a great one, imho. Shall we try it out?

Karter is pretty solid on gear and abilities. I'll have him up'd by tomorrow, gotta drag out my old laptop with HeroLab tonight.
I'll be on holiday since Sunday February 21st to March 6th (two weeks - Malta then Venice), with limited access. I'll post as often as I can, but feel free to bot me if I don't post within 24 hours.
As a heads up, I will be taking the Illinois Bar Exam on Tuesday and Wednesday and travelling to Chicago on Monday. I am aiming to still get posts up, but I cannot promise that it will happen.
Loot Table updated since no one expressed any interest in the loot. I sold off anything I didn't want and updated everyone's money totals, including the cost to rez me (taken exclusively from the Ship's Fund).
Ooooh -best luck on the Bar! Thanks for doing the treasure too.
Sorry about that. I am travelling at the moment and fully expected to be able to post over the last few days, but my luggage with the laptop and phone chargers got lost. I'm back now, though!
Note to self: LINK
Loot needs to be updated from the post onward.
Will be away for the week-end with a limited access only through my phone.
Don't hesitate to GM-PC my character.
Checkin' in and catching up, sorry for silence, was trying to save job.
hope you made it
Yeah, losing your job isn't conducive to paying for your internet which means you can't post...
So keep your job, Karter!
Karter keeps-on keeps-on vs the MAN. (for now)
Good news from Bold on his exams?
Since we are nearing the end of the race and hence the end of Book 3, I wanted to warn you guys that after we finish this book I am going to put this campaign to rest.
It has been a lot of fun and hope you guys have enjoyed what has been my most zany adventure but I think this is a good place to wrap it up. There are several reasons I'd like to end it here but really it is mostly because my other APs are fairly close to finishing book 6 and this is going to be a very busy summer for me as I will be taking my "preliminary A" examination (week-long written exam) in June and my "preliminary B" examination (oral defense of my thesis proposal) in August. So although I hate to do it, I think I must bring this campaign to a close while we are at a good stopping point rather than running out of time this summer and having to cut you guys off in the middle of book 4.
We still have to finish up the current encounter and the race and then do some RP finishing touches to round out the book, after which I'll pass out chronicles. So we still have a little bit left but I thought this would be an appropriate time to warn you all. I hope you've had fun with it while it lasted though, I know I certainly did!
I understand completely, EF. I'd like to use the opportunity to thank you for offering us a chance to play that AP with such a unique flavor - it was a blast! I certainly enjoyed it thoroughly!
I understand very well and I thank you for offering me the possibility to participate to this one :)
It was/is quite fun !
Will you be at GenCon ? Or your exam will take all your time for this summer ?
Will you be at GenCon ? Or your exam will take all your time for this summer ?
Unfortunately no. Last summer we were way too busy in the field and I had to cancel my GenCon plans so this summer I'm not even going to try, especially because my exam in August means I will be even busier than last year.
Next year our field should be much smaller and I may not be quite as busy so 2017 is a tentative maybe for GenCon.
Karter got one thing to say to you.

Yea a great run EF, thanks for running and keeping it together. GM Rah continues to moan about how he should have joined from the beginning -now he can stop. He and I might make it to Gamex in LA over Memorial Wkend.
Sad to see this game go as the premise is pretty awesome, but I can see the draw to wrapping up the game along with the rest before you get super busy.
Let me know who you would like to apply this to.
Thanks again for playing, everyone!

Sad to see this game end, but it was great nontheless !
Thanks again EF for GMing this one and giving me the opportunity to play with a Jedi Knight :D
Great to game with you guys too Ilmakis, Cyril, Bold.
With you too!
Last, but not least! Thanks for running, EF! Good luck with the schooling, though I'm sure we will chat in other games.
To the other three, it was fun while it lasted! I picture the Yak pillaging and robbing for years to come! Mooing through the galaxy.
