Well I am always pro charecter over class when it comes to a roleplaying game. If we seemed to be running a combat heavy dungeon crawl only i would say int without hesistation, but this isnt a dungeon crawl only :)
Haven't decided on +1 Int or Dex for Tamm yet.
well, im back. I can say that it was 40% fun, 60% wet. weatherman said it was supposed to rain for a few hours monday, and it wouldnt rain again until saturday. Well, it started raining monday evening about 3 hours after we got set up....and it didnt stop raining until thursday afternoon. and then it would rain again on saturday as well. We were scheduled thru tomorrow, monday the 27th, but we decided that it would be better to pack up and leave on friday while a majority of our gear had dried. here's some pics i took of the hiking we did. We went to amnicon falls, copper falls, and big manitou falls in wisconsin. unfortunately, i couldnt get a decent picture of Big manitou falls because of it's height and the trees blocking the sight.
Well I'm sorry you had to leave early, but the pictures looked really good! That sucks that it was all rain, I've had that problem as well and it sucks every time.
Oh, I decided to get an artist to draw Zeldana for me! She just finished the sketch and the final artwork should be done come Thursday! She's very reasonable price wise and does fantastic work!
thats cool! cant wait to see her
Sorry to hear about the rain. Was the hike along the river the whole way? Looks pretty.
it was about a 3 mile hike for amnicon falls. The river split, creating an island about 1/4 mile in size. we hiked around that, crossed the river, and hiked up it, crossed another bridge, and then back down the other side back to the truck.
List of treasure from the Glassworks:
Potion – cure light wounds
Composite shortbow (+1 str)
Ring - ?
Masterwork Thieves Tools - Tamm
Masterwork Flute - 105gp
Silver earings (2) – 25gp ea
6 pouches of gold dust (worth 50 gp apiece)
8 pouches of silver dust (worth 80 gold)
Tsuto's Journal
10 Platinum Pieces
Ranseur – 400gp
Iron Wand - ?
Bottle Wine
Scroll of Burning Hands
Book of Abyssal scribbling
+1 Cold Iron Dagger - Tamm
Silver Dagger
Smal Magic Longsword
Still several items that need identifying.
I think we need to investigate cashing out some of this and obtaining some healing magic.
Well pretty much any of the items that are just items for gold would be easy exchange out. Weapons and items we only get half for.
Though is there anything anyone wants?
Yeda doesn't need any of that specific gear. She's more ready to get working through her weapon and armor upgrades.
I assume we're keeping Tsuto's journal, and it's only on the list for completeness :)
Corrin could use the composite shortbow, his only real ranged attack is a thrown spear and well its not all that ranged.
Im sure some one should take the un id'ed ring and wand as well, unless its a ring of terrible things and a wand of does nothing useful. :)
Can confirm that artist is the good by the by.
I personally think we should split loot up something like:
+1 Ring of Protection - Yeda
+1 Cold Iron Dagger - Tamm
Mwk Thieves Tools - Tamm
Scroll of Burning Hands - Zeldana
Wand of Shocking Grasp - Loxley
Composite shortbow (+1 str) - Corrin
Silver Dagger - ?
Tsuto's Journal
Potion – cure light wounds

Mwk Ranseur – 400gp
Bottle Wine
Book of Abyssal scribbling
+1 Small Longsword
Don't know if we'll get anything for the book of Abyssal scribblings but I'm good with what is suggested!
Loxley would like to hold onto the Abyssal book. It can come out of her share. She can read Abyssal and would look through it for anything useful. If she doesn't find anything she can sell it later.
I can't remember if we determined the book was useful or not.

That's fine too. I usually assume the squishier party members take the rings of protection, so I would still provide that opportunity under this plan.
Keeping the silve dagger might be useful too, there are some things that silver is effective against. I would gather Tamm would be the best holder of that.
DO you want to rp out the shopping for gear or just want us to ask about it here?
the book is worth 100gps, but is an ancient prayer book dedicated to Lamashtu. Loxley would have to devote 4 hours of reading to get the full jist of the book. id say that with the devotion, and meeting a DC 23 Knowledge Religion check, you could gain a +1 skill bonus to Knowledge religion for interacting with followers of Lamashtu.

I figure Yeda and Corrin will be swung at the most in the near future and we don't have very good protective gear for anyone. I'd leave the ring on a front liner for now. We can re-arrange later if we want.
Keep the abyssal book then and sell the rest of the items listed to sell?
Fair enough, Yeda with the ring it is.
Now, how much is the rest worth for our equipment upgrade :)
quick and dirty, i guesstimate you have available 1900Gps for the party to spend on gear.
Any needs from the party members?
Wand of Cure Light Wounds?
Masterwork weapons?
Cheap potions?
Guys! Guys!
Look!
It's Zeldana!
Zel doesn't need anything really... Unless you want to buy a scroll of a spell she can add to her spell list.
I was going to look into maybe a masterwork spear... or two. I tend to throw them on occasion. But if we are going to go march off after evil monks and their mooks, some alchemical weapons and potions is probably the way to go.
Tanglefoot bags are great, if pricey. some potions of barkskin might not be a bad idea. definitely a wand of cure light, maybe a potion or two in case of oh crap moments. Barding of some sort for an elk might be nice too :)

I can't think of anything for Loxley, except maybe MW weapons but I'm not sure if she'd find a MW dueling sword in town. A MW bow might be do-able or a spell scroll to add to her book.
I'll go in for barding for Dewdrop, I think it'd be a big help.
Yeah, get the group utilies first, then maybe mwk weapons, and I doubt we'll get to armor after that.

How many do you think?
Guys! Guys!
Look!
It's Zeldana!
That is fantastic :)

*whistles*
Looking good Z! :)
I figure at least two tanglefoot bags. 100gp for two. Monks are tricky.
3 cure light potions (unless we found some) 150 gp. Probably best given to myself, Yeda, and sazzat. Just in case we cant get back to our backline for healing proper.
potions of enlarge person? they cost 50 gp each. A large Yeda with her sword will definitely hurt things badly.
potion of sanctuary. Would also be 50 gp. overlooked item. Gives our healers a chance to avoid attacks of opportunity and cast or use a wand. Enemies can overcome it with a will save, As long as the person doing the healing doesnt attack (casting healing spells or using wands is just fine!) its a bonus shield. Bonus. if a creature tries to attack the sanctuaried charector and fails their save they dont get to attack the sanctuaried creature and basically lose their attack that round, they dont get to just try to hit someone else. I dont imagine goblins have ran across that too often :)
alchemical fire 20 gp a flask
acid - 10 gp a flask.
I figure with a new wand of cure light, (750) 2 tanglefoot bags, (100)
3 cure light (150 gp) thats 1,000 out of our 1900. leaving 900 for weapons or whathave you.
Definitely want to get Miss Yeda a masterwork weapon. She's the heavy hitter.
I dig that picture of Zel
potions of enlarge person? they cost 50 gp each. A large Yeda with her sword will definitely hurt things badly.
She did just learn the spell though, and can cast it up to 2x/day (right now).
For Yeda's mk weapon, a Masterwork Greatsword is 350.
She's not a ranged fighter, but she'd benefit from having a few javelins as well (just in case, another 3gp).
I didnt notice she learned that spell! Yay! saves us a hundred g! :)
How about it Loxley or Zeldana need a masterwork something?
Thank you! If anyone wants to watch and see when her commissions come back open just let me know and I'll send you the info for it! She's very reasonable, and as you can see does great work!
Zeldana doesn't really use weapons... Well save her cards! XD
Those are already effectively masterwork.
Tamm would like to use 75gp to scribe a scroll of Mirror Image.
If I got a weapon, It would be a MW Longbow. but that would be 375g. Like I said earlier, I don't think we'd find a MW dueling sword in town.
I still like the idea of barding for Dewdrop.
Zeldana, how much was the commish?
For the waist up, which is what I got, it is 60€ which is about $70 for Americans. That is without armor, an armored character is 10 more. Oh! And you have to pay the PayPal cost. Which is 2€, so it roughly comes out to $74 bucks after everything.
Here is the info for her commissions. Also if you all want to pitch in and get a huge picture of all our characters together. I'd totally be up for that!
Also it takes about a week to get the art after you send the money. A day or two for the sketch, then the rest for coloring. It would be longer if we did the large picture.
Reasonable pricing. Wish I had the spare funds. TT_TT
For my first one I saved 10 bucks every paycheck. Depending on how long the list of commissions is it can take her three months to get through them all! So I normally have time to save because I'll ask for the last spot!
Also if you all want to pitch in and get a huge picture of all our characters together. I'd totally be up for that!
That would be pretty cool. Thinking about getting a solo first to get the character description right.
Hey guys, glad to see the game is still going. Id just like to say that I'm sorry for all the times I left without a word, especially the last time. Mental health and suicidal thoughts have been struggles for me since I was around 6 (so 10 years at this point,) and after a failed suicide attempt, I realised I needed to focus on my mental wellbeing. I stepped away from online forums, and just focused on school, trying to participate in more school activities, and started taking antidepressants and going to therapy. I'm doing better now, and I would just like to say that this group helped me through some trying times, and I'm endlessly thankful for all of you.
Glad to hear you are doing well.
No hard feelings at all. That was clearly the right choice. Glad to hear you're doing better!
Glad to hear that you're feeling better. If you ever need to pop in and say 'Hi.', we're always happy to hear from you. nwn
I'm glad to hear you're doing better! And I do agree that stepping back to focus upon yourself, especially when it comes to mental health, was the right choice to make. Please take care of yourself and don't be a stranger, stop by whenever you need to!
Hello!
I'll be away from computers without the ability to post:
* from Friday 8/14
* returning Sunday evening (US/Pacific time) 8/16
Feel free to bot me during that time. I will likely catch up on returning Sunday evening.
BTW, feel free to throw on the brakes in this shop if somebody doesn't like the trade I'm offering. I would like to try trades first though, as selling favors "the house" price-wise.
Shoot, I just realized II need you go back through our little underground adventure and count arrows used. I usually try to keep a running tally. I should probably pick up a bundle for her before the group heads out.
meh, let's just make it easy. roll a d20, whatever you roll is the number of arrows you lost and need to replace.
Fair enough.
Edit: For once I’m glad I rolled low. So that leaves Loxley with 18 arrows. Hmm. That might be enough.
