Sounds reasonable.
I don't tink you can paint the silver ravens. But if you use them for their purpose - sending messages to places you know someone is waiting and checking for a message - the can be useful. Show them the way through the tunnel and an entrance into the home of Saul and you have a solid delivery in three minutes.
About C3: This sprawling series of rooms served as the safe house’s
bunk house, complete with two private latrines. Also I'd like to hear your explanation for being the only lady in context of the three four Fushi sisters living here :)
So I wouldn't go for the two small appended rooms for bedroom.
Sure I can explain it. Meliandri doesn't consider them ladies in the same way she is. They're more like...when you look at a crow, can you tell the difference? Korva Fushi doesn't display any sort of sexual dimorphism from the art. There's also no need for breasts, since Tengu lay eggs. The description of the race also says "Their skin, talons, beaks, and eyes are similarly colored, and most non-tengus have great difficulty telling individuals apart."
That's without mentioning that Meliandri is a flawed character in that she considers herself human. She's never really had to deal with any sort of racism for being half-elf in part because of her status as a noble. She's also grown up considering herself superior to most other people, and certainly to people who don't look like her. In other words, she's chaotic-neutral and is playing that as someone who's used to having everything she asks for and has a superiority complex because of it.
Besides, I don't care one way or another if Mels gets the little room offset from the bunkroom. I'm just doing what she'd do. She can't go home for very long because she's too busy for responsibility, and she can't stay with Lucca because it's not very comfortable, so she's staking her claim in the hideout.
EDIT: There's also no indication from the map that those rooms are latrines. There's also no evidence that they are from the thread, which means I can only go off of what I can see on the map.
I know that I didn't give anything in game before about the privies and won't. Just wanted you to fill it in as it might become relevant now. Your sleeping room (upper part of C3) also has a privy (small room to the upper right) that you can set Fhingle or whoever to rebuild it to your noble needs.
About the tengus I was just wondering if you forgot about them or if it's another aspect of Meliandri's blissful ignorance - which is very entertaining by the way.
Agreed, it is nice and unusual to see a character play out those aspects.
Well, it would ruin the fun if I told you.
Not your fun. My fun, seeing you squirm :P
Not even close. Also the DC is 98, not 100.
You think you can guess it with less than 98 tries? I don't think so :D
@Salonius: I don't really have any ideas on scrolls yet. Let's hold on to that favor for now.
But a challenge for the sleuth. Find out why I roll.
Sure, just let me know
Rexus has no idea. It is not him rolling.
It is still showing in the context of the rolls why I'm rolling. So if you want to know you can simply check and draw conclusions.
Made a few assumptions in my last gameplay post, I will alter if needed, if I still can.
You're right that the box is all there is to get.
Is the basement public? Not sure what to refer to the storm sewer/Silver Ravens HQ as, neither of those seems quite right.
Meh.
Longroad coffeehouse -> Table -> public room.
The basement part managed to dodge my attention. Sorry. Too late to edit.
No worries, I might be a bit confused about the map, mixing up levels or some such.
For reference, this is about where my last Hell's Rebels game stopped, so it's all new territory for me from here on out.
Probably more botany and sleuth centric right? ;) I mean the other game, we barely mention such things.
Meliandri went into that other game with an on-again/off-again boyfriend, played by my then-girlfriend. The game died before our relationship did. She was more vocal and in charge as a result of the game's pace being a bit slower. But yeah, that group had 5 botanists who were also sleuths!
Man I kinda wanna play that game!
I just pulled that info out of the map, but figured with a roll of 30 it would make sense that Saul knows this...
Oh, no! Players thinking on their own - where will that lead? Better game probably and less work for the GM ;)
I'll wait for you to finish the conversation and actually leaving before giving something about the devils nursery tomorrow. Well actually just later this new day.
I have no problem with selling loot at times but we have solid pretty much everything. What did you and Mellandri buy at that store really?
I think the scroll of remove blindness/deafness and remove disease should be kept. Fhingle will take them as part of his share.
How much would Salonius really know about Fhingle's channel energy in game? I think you said a bit more than would be common knowledge
I think clerical channeling should be fairly common knowledge and he has seen Fhingle use it multiple times in a day, and heal multiple people in a burst, what could he not garner from what he has seen first hand? Burst thingy is hardly the technical term. I can easily be out voted, and suspect I might be, I just think they are poor value for what they do.
I am suggesting we keep the remove disease, remove blindness as party items, as well as the potions of lesser restoration I think we should all chip in for those.
Loot wise we have kept well over half value wise, and only sold stuff that nobody could use or wanted. And those of us who have not spent anything are very close to having 1000gp available including the 300gp everyone has personally, so it would be nice to have more actual coin for people to cash out and buy items, etc. Be fine for one or two to buy cloaks of resistance and go a little in to "debt" at this point for example - should they be available.
I'll give it to salonius that he should know the price of scrolls, he has the ability to write some.
But this: "Should get 75gold" is way too metagamy for my taste. When writing a scroll you're using up the expensive special ink. And you need a lot more to write a complex spell only experienced wizards that studied the books for many moons can master.
I don't see two wizards walk down the road asking: Q:You got third level spells already? A:No, still stuck at second, but I guess I'll have a break through in two weeks.
So it would be hard for Salonius to point at the magic, say 2nd level, factor three to the 25gp of CLW. Once he bought a few at the temple, or sold a few to someone and got that result he'd know for sure. Until then I'd assume it is an educated guess or an appraise for him too.
It is one thing to have fixed prices and levels underlying the system and just running it in the background with that. But playing that out in this way is an eyesore to me.
One more thing. Money is no issue in games I GM. Especially if someone does a detailed listing on everyone's wealth. If the adventure doesn't give you enough, you simply point me to the numbers and I'll bury a chest of 'fix that lack of wealth' somewhere for you to find.
And for WBL I for sure don't count consumed consumables. So you can go and have fun with the stuff you find and don't need to put it in a piggy bank.
I might see the need to put tabs on such things if someone starts with mass production of such stuff, but until then its all game and fun.
Okay so so it is in our interest to use consumables... I can see that being more fun. Should I stop including their value, consumables, at all?
Yes please.
Fhingle is an Oracle so I can see how it might be explained if he was a cleric but I am not here to fight.
LOL, I mean you did it in front of everyone multiple times, so Salonius knows you can do it, and do it multiple times. I am a bit confused about the issue? I don't think he knows you are an Oracle, and he probably assumes you are a cleric.
A cleric who doesn't hold up his holy symbol and doesn't call upon a deity to do it. But Salonius might assume as he wishes ;)
I always figure that class names describe what your character does to players, but they don't apply to in-character unless you want them to. Like, Salonius is a wizard in both player terms and character terms, but Meliandri is a bard to players but a spoiled noble interested in the opera to characters.
It's a lot like that OOTS strip talking about being a samurai but using levels of monk and paladin to get there, no levels of samurai.
What I am planning to do is remove all the consumables from the loot list and put them on a separate list that just shows what we have, what we have used, and who is carrying what. Does that sound alright?
Fhingle will take the scrolls, I know that the CMW scroll is worth a bit but it can also right now heal someone for 7 without a roll something I cannot do without a good roll.
Agreed, I think if you are the only one who can use it it ought to pretty much automatically be carried by you. So Fhingle can carry all the divine scrolls - I'll need to check but they might all be divine actually.
Hmmm, it does not say, can you tell us if the Daylight Scroll is arcane or divine GM Foxy? I think everything else is divine only, but have not checked.
Meliandri's going to have a respectable Use Magical Device score soonish. She could be an alternative carrier, if we wanted that to be a thing.
Okay its done, I kept the expendable items we had already sold like before. I got rid of the party fund since it was essentially for expendable items.
Current Balances after all of us having that personal 300gp, which I am not tracking, are...
Fhingle 547.5, Jhen 547.5, Meliandri 47.5, Saul -702.5, Salonius 547.5
I just deducted the cost of the rowboat before calculating shares.
I don't like keeping tabs on such stuff. If you don't insist I will not differentiate between arcane and divine scrolls. You have it on your spell-list, you can use it. Though you need a caster level check if her own caster level is lower than the scroll spell’s caster level, then she has to make a caster level check (DC = scroll’s caster level + 1) to cast the spell successfully.
So both Fhingle and Mels could cast it, but both would have to roll a CL check for it. Or as an alternative, everyone could just UMD it for DC 20+CL of the scroll.
