There's a journal written in a strange language we need to read. Since she was dealing with surfacers there's a reasonable assumption she speaks some sort of common language.
Ah.
That looks like two votes to sell off the whole list. Just need one more to get it done.
Will subtract the money (its 25 gp btw) for the scroll from Blossom and get you a post with the journal contents ASAP.
No one has talked to the drow prisoner yet, so we don't know that she speaks at all...
Well let's do that next, after Blossom buys the scroll and learns the spell. Or before, I guess it doesn't matter much.
Happy to sell the rest. While I'd like to have kept Saul alive as an informant/for the fun roleplay value it was a really impractical prospect.
Once we obtain the scroll and on Kwava's directive let's interrogate the Drow.
As for the Goblin, it seems to me like more trouble than its worth.
Let me quickly peruse that list. I know Saphren wants the poison. It would likely be hard to sell anyway.
Edit:
OK, loot tracker questions:
1) Blossom has a spell book listed, but I am unsure if a witch can use a spell book. They need scrolls to learn spells, not spell books. So can well sell that book?
2) Saphren will take the 2 tanglefoot bags.
3) As noted above, Saphren will take the poison if that is ok. OOC I am guessing its drow sleep poison.
Added in values of all the appraisals and partial appraisals. The total amount, after taking out the drow poison and the tanglefoot bags (which were off-loaded to Saphren) comes to 4843 gp, or 968.6 per player.
Edited Loot Tracker to remove the items, but added the coin to the Cash Tracker. You may look to buy items in Riddleport at the PRD value price.
What is the mechanism for Id'ing a poison? I looked and couldn't find anything? Know Alchemy or Know Nature at the DC?
Craft Alchemy ought to do it I think.
Yeah, craft alchemy. Maybe knowledge nature at a push.
So, can someone make a craft alchemy on the poison? Saphren will use it either way, but would prefer to know what it does. :)
He is neutral about selling the goblin. IC I think he would like to keep it and hire a manager to operate it. He would maintain a room there but would always be worried the manager would either be incompetent, or skim profits. OOC I like the idea of some immediate cash to help equip us now. Easier to just sell the place.
I prefer selling. We should discuss this IC too, but Trig is bored with running a casino. Gnomes always like to move on to the next new experience.
OOC I don't mind either way. IC REva will be strongly in favour of selling. It's not really her thing to run a casino for some reason ;)
OOC I'm all for selling, I'd rather a consistent series of down payments than chancing a higher profit running the place. (I was getting tired of the skill rolls anyway.)
IC Magnus smells an opportunity to escape the Gas Forges that ruined his lungs and the city of cheats and cutthroat that killed Larur and double crossed him. Riddleport aint no place to run a business. At least not an honest dwarven one.
We should probably stock up on some supplies before we set out. Unless we can secure a buyer this evening in game (in which case I'd like to try for a belt of giant's strength or some equally big purchase) that'll probably just mean a few healing potions and a masterwork hammer.
It sounds like you want to decide to sell the Goblin. There is a rules mechanism for that. Since the Goblin seems to have been beset by bad luck recetly, it requires someone (you choose) to make a DC 20 Diplomacy check each week to find a buyer. Anyone who spends 8 hours during the week spreading the word, can give aid.
Then you and owner must agree on financing terms.
When you are ready to make the check, let me know when you are ready to roll. Obviously, if you are away chasing drow around some abandoned island, you may not be able to make the check...but the game might get rather boring also...choices, choices.
A CLW wand is a must before we go to the island. I think the Goblin will keep until then. We can get Trig's girls, give them crossbows, tell them to shoot the drow if she looks at them funny, and then thoroughly search the drow, including cavities, and tie her up in her undies in a cage until we get back.
Yeah, that's first of Reva's shopping list.
Assuming this is all available:
Starting:
1403.3
Purchase:
wand of cure light wounds - 750
buckler - 5
20 cold iron arrows - 2
cold iron weapon blanch - 50
silver weapon blanch - 5
whetstone - .02
weapon cord - .1
Total remaining: 591.09
Reva's remaining cash will either be for saving, or for financing a big shiny thing someone else wants to buy.
We should all go in on the wand since it will benefit all of us.
All of the above gear is available to buy in Riddleport at PRD prices. I will adjust the Cash Tracker and your character sheet to reflect the purchases.
750 gp divided 5 ways is 150 each. I will make that change to everyone.
Also, Cold Iron weapon blanch is only 20gp, and you have an error in your mathematics above. After all those purchases Reva ends at 1221.18gp
We should all go in on the wand since it will benefit all of us.
I will second this.
Saphren will try to procure a masterwork Cold Iron falchion. This will cost 450 gold. If unavailable he will begrudgingly acquire a normal material masterwork falchion for 375.00. He also has his eye on a masterwork sap for 302.00
I will allow you to find the Cold Iron version. You are a bit light on loot, so I am giving a little on what might be available.
Do you want to sell back your old falchion for 50%? You can locate a masterwork sap with little difficulty, this is Riddleport after all. Do you want to spend for that also?
Reva has what she needs without getting into magical gear or weighing herself down. So there's 1,400 gold she's willing to pitch in if someone wants something a bit out of their price range.
Reva, how about some consumable then. Scrolls of magic weapon and the like?
Sapphire wants to keep the old Falchion. He plans to enchant it. Too expensive to enchant cold iron. So he will have an enchanted blade and a cold iron blade. And yes, he wants the MW sap. Those are his two purchases. Plus he donates to the wand fund.
I'll contribute to the wand, obviously, and I'll try to post purchases tonight.
Sorry I made no post yesterday. Work was crazy. Good, but crazy. I'm actually loving my new job, but I have only a fraction of the free time I used to...
I will definitely contribute to the wand fund. If I have enough left over, I would like to purchase an intelligence enhancing headband. Otherwise, I'll probably just spend about a tenth of it on 'living large' & keep the rest for later.
Er, we have not sold the Goblin yet. We have no where near enough for a stat boost item.
Blossom I have you donating to the wand fund. As Saphren says, we don't have enough for a stat boost item (usually around 4000 gp). If you want to spend 10% on living large, that's about 122gp. Just confirm and I will subtract.
Trig's shopping:
Wand of Mage Armor: 750g
2x potion of cure light wounds: 100g
Universal Solvent: 50g (because you never know!)
Wismuth salix: 30g (alchemical remedy for nausea)
Weapon Blanch (silver) 5g -- applied to 10 crossbow bolts.
Scroll of Glue Seal - 25g
Scroll of Magic weapon - 25g
Scroll of Obscuring Mist - 25g
Selling: 2x scroll of expeditious excavation (wasn't as useful as I thought it might be, and I have it as a spell known now.) - 25g
Remaining: 10.87 g
Trig's purchases above are all recorded on my sheet. And I agree on her remaining cash after all the buys.

Confirmed!
Last call for gear before you set off on the expedition. Make sure you make your purchases in advance.
Bah! I haven't been getting thread updates for the last week. Stupid buggy forum, sorry about the quiet spell.
Glad you are back, Twigs/Magnus. Jump back in whenever.
Saphren - recorded the 2 CLW
Hey all. Sorry it has been close to half a week since I have posted. Work slammed me with several long, physically grueling days in a row & today was the first one I didn't just collapse in bed when I got home. I will have a gameplay post up just as soon as I update myself on what has happened.
I will be traveling starting tomorrow afternoon to attend Mid South Con where I am helping run PFS. I'll be busy and often without access to the internet so my posting will be very limited if at all. Everyone have a good weekend.
I have family in town until Saturday.
My posting will be curtailed until then.
I am back. Thank you for your patience.
I am back. Thank you for your patience.
Thanks for the advance notice and WB. You are now up.
I am back too, but slammed at work, and leaving again in the morning. I am skiing the rest of the week but should have time every day to post as long as the house we rented has reliable wifi.
Sorry, Now I am in Breckenridge Colorado for a quick ski trip. I hope to have time to post some, but that did not happen this first travel day. Totally exhausted and have to get up early. I'll be home Sunday.
Supposed to end the day exhausted if you are skiing. Have fun, but be safe.
Hey, at a conference for the next week. I'll be able to post but may be spotty.
Hey folks, show week is keeping me away from my desktop for a few days. I might have to request you bot me until things quiet down.
Break a leg!
Actually, only Blossom is a prepared caster.
Both I & my computer seem to have come down with something. I will try to post later today.
I wanted to give a heads up that I will be traveling from Friday after work through late Monday and my posting will be light and in the evenings, if at all. I should be back to normal Tuesday.
I like this option, but am wary of a double cross. Perhaps an enchantment spell for the added security?
