GM RePete: Hell's Rebels - Citizen's Unite! (Inactive)

Game Master RePete

Ah, good point. On that note, I could really go for a scroll of identify to add it to my spellbook :>

---

Here's a first pass at a loot log for Hell's Rebels. It still needs some analysis to work out item values and the like.

Over the course of putting this together, I also spotted a number of loose ends from Hocum's that we either want to go back and complete OR handwave that we investigated:

I mentioned out of character during one combat that we should get Redactor uniforms for aid in future undercover work. I never ended up looting any.

There was a mystery chest in the room with the book elemental that we said we'd take with us when we left.

There was a hidden panel in the cubic gate room we were going to open, but we got distracted by imminent combat.

2) Book Elemental Chest -> Laria Longroad could have gone back with you and between her and Crady - unlocked it.

3) Rexus' key actually opens this one
--> Headband of inspired wisdom +2, a silver-and-mother-of-pearl ink pen worth 200g, and a platinum disk depicting a leering angel worth 100g

Waiting on RePete for answers for the questions above. After that, I'll be able to fill out exactly how much gold we'll be picking up each.

In the mean time, here's some Qs for the party:

Anyone mind if I get one of the two cloaks of resistance?

Do we want to keep the Soul Tomes, which grant us bonuses to researching KN Local and History?

There's an Amulet of Natural armor we found with the Red Jills that no one picked up to use (as far as I read in gameplay) maybe you can grab that Pakuzzo?

There's a potion of invisibility in there! That'd be a good ace-in-the-hole for someone who wants to be our scout. Maybe Pakuzzo or Sendi?

The +1 glaive and +1 chain shirt from Nox seem like good high value items, but maybe no one in our party benefits from using them. Are we OK with selling both?

2) Soul Tomes --> You can sell them to the church of Abadar

5) Magical Glaive & Magical Chain Shirt --> currently, the town financially can't buy either of these. For now, I'd recommend keeping track of such things and having a 'stash' in your hideout to pile up the "To Sell" magical items. The time will come where this won't be an issue

Scrolls/Potions from the Silver Star --> way back at the beginning...

Rexus casts a spell (identify) and takes a look. Scroll of cure moderate wounds, scroll of daylight, scroll of remove blindenss/deafness, scroll of remove disease

3 potions of lesser restoration - 4 potions of cure light wounds

Placed a link to the loot log in the header.

Life is starting to get back to normal. I apologize for the long delay. :-(

Hey welcome back RePete! Glad to see you back in action. I was a little worried that the game might have gone into indefinite hold.

So you mentioned that we can't sell the magical weapon and armor. What exactly is the sell limit right now? Is there a gold amount above which they won't buy our stuff? Did you mention it earlier but I forgot?

Thanks for adding the loot log link to the header :>

Here's the breakdown for the economy...

You can currently purchase up to 4th level casting from the temples (best chance at getting 4th level clerics from the temple of Asmodeus).

The city currently have a total purchase limit of 25k. However, they will not spend that much on a single item. Essentially, you can sell any single item worth up to 800g without issue until the total 25k is expended. More expensive items will be hit and miss.

Any single item worth 200g or more or any magical item has a % chance to be located in the market place. Each time you try to find something, the % chance of locating it becomes more difficult. The exception her is the random list of available options on the black market - a DC 20 diplomacy check is required to learn what items the black market has available.

Alchemical items worth under 200g is an exception to the 'magical items' rule. AkA Anti-toxin, alchemical fire, etc is available.

Every month (AkA 30 days) the economy gets reset.

As you guys improve/harm the economy of the city, things will become easier or harder. Mild spoiler....in the next book you will have a chance to go to another city for a mission where you can shop with almost no impediment. There will be lots of items found as you go about harming Thrune's rule.

You will even get the chance of receiving gifts as you continue to thwart the BBEG.

Alrighty whoa that is a LOT of loot!

Thanks for explaining the economic situation. I assume that was in a post somewhere, but I've definitely forgotten in the time that's passed.

Would you be able to answer the remaining Qs in this post about the pearls from earlier, whether some stuff was masterwork, etc?

---

@Party: I've updated the loot log with ALL this new stuff. Take you pick of the goodies in there. Since we can't sell some of the expensive stuff, it's best we make use of it in the mean time. I've assigned some of the scrolls to Phila if she could use them.

Once we have the values of those last few items, I'll add up all the treasure and sellables and split up gold between us!

Okay, so formally requesting:

-Amulet of Natural armor +1
-Potion of cute light wounds
-Cloak of resistance +1 (unless someone else wants it more)
-Potion of invisibility (again, unless someone wants it more)
-Headband of wisdom +2 (again, ditto)

I'm keeping my +1 strength composite shortbow and +1 leather armor. I was going to claim the +1 chain shirt, but on closer review the armor check penalty and dexterity maximum would be detrimental to my build, so either someone else can claim it, or we can sell it for cash.

Also, if we're not already doing so I think we should make sure to hang on to the silver raven figurines. I feel like they're too important to sell.

Looking over the loot table Philacris was nice enough to create (serious, thanks Philacris), Crady would like to claim the following items, but only with full party permission.

Amulet of Natural Armor +1
Headband of Wis +2
Cloak of Resistance +1
45gp
Ring of Swimming

These items will not be added ton Crady's character sheet until permission from the party is granted.

I’ll take the Bracers of armor :)

Crady/Pakuzzo: Do you want to roll-off on those three overlapping items?

I'll be adding all the gold and gold-equivalent treasure up and distributing the value equally across party members depending on when they joined the game. So Crady, you'll be getting more than 45gp, just hold on a moment until we have details on the last couple of items.

I'll also be assigning scrolls to Crady and Titus and Phila based on who can use them.

Glad to see the Int19 is not just for your character. Thanks for handling the loot!

Planning this out here. So I can know if I’m making any mistakes.

Level Plan
Lvl 1: Perfect Scholar Unchained Monk
Lvls 2-3: Cult Leader Warpriest
Lvls 4-6: Enlightened Paladin
Lvls 7-9: Weapon Master Fighter
Lvl 10-20: Sentinel

Current damage: 1d6+5 (3 attacks)

Lvl 5: Pummeling Style (add all hits together to overcome DR)
Lvl 7: Power Attack, Mother’s Gift (+1 Hit and +1 Damage) 1d6+8
Lvl 8: Weapon Specialization 1d6+10
Lvl 9: Weapon Training 1d6+13
Lvl 10: Symbolic Weapon 1 1d6+12
Lvl 11: Martial Focus 1d6+13
Lvl 12: Symbolic Weapon 2, Advanced Weapon Training 1d8+14
Lvl 13: Improved Natural Attack 2d6+16
Lvl 16: Symbolic Weapon 3 2d6+17
Lvl 17: 2d6+19
Lvl 19: Symbolic Weapon 4 2d6+20

That’s without stat boosting items or an amulet of mighty blows, or divine favor. Damage die will be about the same as a straight Warpriest. And will stack enough bonuses that the damage should hold up decently enough. Won’t be anywhere near a good two handed build, but will be more accurate.

Crady can have the Cloak of Resistance and the Headband of Wisdom, I won't contest those. I will, however, roll for Amulet of Natural Armor.

Let's say d100, highest wins:

d100: 1d100 ⇒ 42

d100: 1d100 ⇒ 98
Alright then. Thank you Pakuzzo.
I'll update my character sheet with said items, then level when story appropriate.

Ah well; enjoy them, Crady. I'll still take the potions, plus whatever cash is my share.

**Posting in all my GM games-sorry if you see this more than once**

Grandmother in the hospital last couple days and not doing well. Plans are to post tonight. At the very least I'll have a post up tomorrow.

Really sorry to hear that :(
Thanks for the heads up. Take care of you and yours

Sorry, GM. Take all the time that you need.

Sorry to hear it RePete. Hoping the best for your grandma.

OK, I went ahead and asked a friend who has a copy of Hell's Rebels about the last few item values I was missing. So I'm (finally) done with calculating all the loot sales. Per RePete's post about sale value limits, I've cleared out all the stuff that no one claimed and turned it into gold. I've also split up gold distribution based on who was around at the time.

I've also mentioned if I assigned an item to you. These are items no one claimed yet but I figured we should hold onto (stuff like potions and scrolls).

So, here's the final distribution for Book 1:

PAKUZZO:

Thanks again for handling all that Philacris and if you would, thank you friend for me for getting those last values.

Thank you Philacris! I know that wasn’t easy

Yeah, great job. You really want above and beyond.

Thanks Philacris!

Sorry to hear it RePete; and sorry for the delay in responding

My deepest apologies! I thought this campaign was dead. Just got a PM stating otherwise. Nothing has come up on my feed...looks like I have alot to read through. Again, sorry!

Been a hectic couple of days here: Welcome back to the fold Sendi!

I should have a post up this evening...gotta run back in to work and deal with an issue.

I'll be away on family vacation from 4/13 - 4/19; I'll post by phone, but it'll be sporadic. Please bot as needed

Hi all, I've recently been offered an opportunity to play Hell's Rebels in a face to face campaign. As a result, I'll be dropping out of this campaign to do so. While I normally would never consider this, this PbP has been moving at a one post per week pace since the new year, leaving the outlook for completing the campaign rather dim.

All: It was a pleasure playing with you all, especially almost getting killed by Pakuzzo on the first day and working together to take down Nox. :>

RePete: Thank you for your effort to keep the campaign rolling despite your hectic schedule.

Hope to see you all in future games!

I understand Philacris and wish you well.

When I started this AP here, I was GMing multiple other games at the same time. Now, I can barely manage a post a week on this one...and have dropped out of GMing anything else on the boards.

While I would like to finish this, with the increased aspects of work and familial duties...I must admit with a heavy heart, I dont think I can. I just dont have the energy to give this what it deserves.

I'll leave this active till Friday, but then I'll be shutting it down.

I've had a lot of fun running it for you and hope to see you around the boards in the future.

For what it is worth it has been fun on my end, and I thank you (GM RePete) for all your time and dedication. And to my fellow players, it has been fun rping with you all!

I'm glad you managed to run us through what you did! Thanks for staying with us! :>

Thank you, RePete. It was great exploring Crady with you all as a character. See everyone in the forums!

Thanks for everything, RePete! Wish you the best and I'm sure I'll see you around:)

While I'm sorry to see it end I understand the reasons, and I had fun all the same. Thanks to RePete for running the game, and to all of you for being such a good group. See you around!
