Goal of the morning: loot sheet update!
I'll handle this current update, but for the future: does anyone want to volunteer to be the party treasurer? I could use a hand keeping the google doc fresh. You'd just be adding what the party finds as you find it.
@Tragershen: Aragnak would have supplied his own scales for the Greater Staff of Fire, so yeah, it'll just cast flames. But you know what would be fun? If you ever "find" a dead dragon (or a willing donor), you can harvest scales and feed them to the staff. After that, it will be able to cast the associated dragon breath.
Sorry been swamped, I'll get my post up this evening
No rush!
I just got a pile of freelance work to do today, so my plans to update the loot sheet flew out the window. C'est la vie.

Sounds great! Here's how I put it on my character sheet; I lifted the function of the light from the staff of radiance.
And congrats on the freelance work. We get it; RL comes first, always!
Lvl 8
+1 Slayer
+1 BAB
I must have made a mistake with hitpoints last lvl. She has 62 HP at 8th lvl. I apologize.
+1 Dex, now 16.
AC now 22
A bunch of skills. Most excitingly, she has a +20 to Stealth while underground, and she took Linguistics to learn Draconic.
She gains the Stalker ability, which adds some relevant skills to Studied Target, and she can now Study Target as a swift or a move action.
That’s really about it.
Active Effects: With Egg
...all is forgiven.
I want to bring up an option with the group. After all this dragon saga has unfolded, and given Anzath is with egg, I think it stands to reason she may stay with the dragon for a while. I'm not sure how long everyone wants to spend with big red, but if people wanna get back to the dungeon soon, i can 'retire' Anzath for a bit and bring in another PC for a little while. I have a back up I'd be happy to dust off and play with.
Bedlam would be sad not to die with Anzath, once we actually get back to the Dungeon of Graves...lol.
We could fast track the month?
I was thinking a fast track month was inbound. There's no real timeline now that your dragon tribute has been permanently paid.
Edit: You may want to guide the freedfolk back to Zelkor's Ferry in the meantime. They'll probably be ok out there on their own, but who knows what the dice will have to say about that?
I was going to ask how long people wanted to hang out now that we don't have the draconic doomsday clock counting down on us. Depending on where we are with loot, maybe a shopping trip? A month is certainly enough for me to finish crafting the items and scrolls that I already have materials for.
I’d like to get my scimitars upgraded if it’s in the budget.
Loot sheet was actually pretty current due to the dragon hogging most of the minor loot. I think the major loose ends there are the fact that he's still got the Sword of Saracek (you could ask for it back) and that you haven't yet identified the "Unknown Book" unless I've forgotten that.

I did eventually manage to ID it back here, and managed to kintsugi my fragile elven ego back together. It is worth quite a bit of coin, unless Aurora wants to take it and use it. I know if it were for Intelligence, I'd be struggling mightily with that decision.
And I think we have Saracek's rather pricey shield to sell as well. But if everyone is eager to get back to the delve, I certainly don't want to hold things up with a shopping montage.
Aragnak can keep the sword, but I'd like the greycloak longbow if its anything better than masterwork :)
Sure, the dragon will hand over a +1 composite (1 STR) longbow.
Sweet.
Haha, mines a MW composite +2, so it doesnt make a difference :p

We are finally taking our honeymoon and travelling for the next two weeks. I will post if I can but dont wait up and feel free to bot.
When fiction resembles reality...
Congrats! Have a great trip!
I saw one with Aragnak a while back!
...but our Aragnak is cooler than theirs. What "real" dragon would travel without a dragbag?

Today, I had a final-round job interview to write (sorta) for a major local gaming company (not Paizo or Wizards). I talked with six people over three hours, one after another, like employment speed dating.
I told several of them about this game.... after all, I had it on my resume. I feel like it was a risky bluff check to put an amateur forum-and-text PbP RPG on a resume, but maybe it worked! At one point, they asked if I had an editor for this game (I may have chuckled a little inside at that). But I told them it was a labor of love, and that the main form of feedback was the way that my players responded to my busting it and writing as well as I can by writing back with their own talent and creativity on full display.
They seemed to... kinda like that?! Hope so.
Thanks so much, my friends.
And then, literally during the interview, I got an email from the University of Washington offering me my teaching job again. And they're cool with me waiting to hear back from the gaming company before I commit to teach.
Even if I don't get the game writing job, I'm gonna have regular, non-freelance work that I love at a place I love. For a year, at least (both are year contracts, but I'm not complaining!).
Skies are so blue over Seattle right now!
When it rains, it pours! I'm so glad to hear about the opportunities ahead of you. It really looks like no bad answers.
And there are SO many major gaming companies here, it is impossible to guess!
Congrats! It sounds like either way you'll be getting paid to do what you love, and thats always a good thing.

Super congratulations, Parrot! Living your dream! It is a Treat to read your posts!
Now let's get back to the Dungeon of Graves; for the Trick!
(joke would have worked better next month, but I am not a professional...lol.
Funny, though, I start at our local city Food Market, as their Gourmet Chef next week!
Awesome, Bedlam! Looks like we're making progress! What are you cooking these days?
I'll tell y'all which company it is once I hear back next week, don't want to jinx it. But you've definitely heard of them!
Congratulations! Fingers crossed that you get the job.
Rappan Athuk Miniatures KickStarter
This appeared on my Discord....
Thanks! I'm in on it now. If they keep busting through all of the stretch goals, I'll need a new case for miniatures. My grandsons are going to LOVE these minis!
Heading out to camp in a volcano this weekend! Back Monday.
@ Trag Your welcome! I figured it may resonant here for some reason.
That seems way too thematic, sir!
oh snap HI EVERYONE!
On docking, Odo Bristleback, mayor-proprietor of the Ferry, emerges from his inn and tavern. His jaw drops as fifty more people swarm down the gangplank. Looks like a new neighborhood will be necessary. "Used to be so nice and quiet here..."
Anyone else feel like we should flip him a coin and mutter "sorry about the mess" as we saunter pass, Han Solo style?
They shot first!
I'm back home. Maybe Anz will catch back up with the group on the way to Magnimar?
Sounds good! Aragnak's island is sorta on the way.
I'm back home. Maybe Anz will catch back up with the group on the way to Magnimar?
Welcome back! I hope the delayed festivities were good! :)
It was a very active trip, but we had fun!

GM, I hope you don't mind my exposition in the main thread. I figured since Tragershen has +14 in knowledge skills geography, history and local, he'd probably know all this stuff I've found on the Pathfinder wiki.
I'm not trying to drag out our stay here in Magnimar (unless you have plans for us here); I'm just trying to add some flavor.
No, I appreciate it! Trag knows waaay more about Magnimar than I do.
And drag away.
We all get it; real life comes first, always!
We have a decent amount of stuff. We left Saracek's sword with the dragon, but we still have her shield and the tome of understanding +2. There were a handful of weapons that were +2 or +2 equivalent, and some odd things like the gem of brightness.
GM, were you going to tally the loot, or would you like one of us to do it?
I think it's all in the loot sheet linked in the campaign description, but let me know if I missed anything!
Aha! It was the Belt of Con, forgot to add it on my Pathbuilder app. HP is 70, not 62.
What is that Tome? Is there a reason we haven’t used it? If we have 6 days in Magnimar, one of us should read it. My vote is Aurora.
I think either Aurora should read it, or we should sell it. The value is 55,000gp, which should bring us 27,500gp if we sell it. That's about4,500gp each. That's a lot of cash, but the prospect of our cleric getting an extra +1 when trying to beat poisons, diseases, curses and whatever else, that's hard to beat.
Agreed!
So, I crunched some numbers. Let me know what you think.
Based on what I figured out, the split would be:
Bedlam: 8,146 gp plus the +1 amulet of mighty fists
Anzath: 5,708 gp 5 sp, plus 19 +1 arrows and the +2 belt of constitution
Tragershen: 9,496 gp and the 4 arcane scrolls
Terapin: 10,146 gp
Lolly: 10,146 gp
Aurora: 10,146 gp
If we sell the tome of understanding +2, that would be another 4,853 gp each. The above assumes we have Aurora use it as “party loot”.
Other party loot (not included above):
3x potions of cure featherlight wounds (Tragershen)
4x potions of stone to flesh (Tragershen, Aurora, Anzath, Terapin)
2x potions of bulls strength (Anzath, Aurora)
1x protection from energy: fire (Terapin)
5x potions of cure light wounds (Bedlam, Anzath x2, Terapin x2)
1x potion of entropic shield (Tragershen)
2x potion of invisibility (Anzath, Aurora)
1x potion of remove disease (Aurora)
Items going to folks who aren’t active players:
Talathel: Potion of Barkskin, 19 +1 arrows, +1 cloak of protection
Arganak: Sword of Saracek
Ippolit: +1 breastplate
Thank you, Trag!
Bedlam: 8,146 gp plus the +1 amulet of mighty fists?
That will be lots ov alchemical goodies! I may sneak a few other things in there too...lol.
Happy equinox! Went into the mountains and found scads of edible mushrooms today. Will post tomorrow!
