yes, please make a list of what you want to buy.
the colony is slowly developing and has more goods now than it did to start with. some items (generally the more commonly useful kind) will already be available for purchase/trade in town. in addition any flat bonus increases are things that can be handled by members of the colony (like adding a +1 to your armor, or increasing any items' +1 bonus to a +2).
anything that is more unique or more expensive you'll need to wait for the next ship to arrive. the next one will be arriving soon, close to the end of this book.
Based on his answers and Kragg slack of sense motive I am not getting a good read on what to do next. Shall we just indoctrinate him in and tell him we plan on doing a zone of truth with everyone here so we can trust each other and see how he responds?
I think we should also consider ghost salts, some swarm protections (even Alchemist's Fire and Splintercloud should be enough).
I will be getting things like Align Weapon Oil, Magic Weapon oil (for those pesky silver/CI and magic dr.
Things like instant weapon and force sword are really handy too.
We should also consider Carver is just Carver. Maybe we just accept people at town is paranoiac and there is no more shapechangers for now.
Perhaps we should just let Ramona and Carver deal with this for now and we should focus on bringing down the hag in the volcano down.
We have a few alchemist fires, but once we start going up in level they are not going to help much. At higher level Thame and Lara can emulate fireball through shadow evocation and Kragg will have access to flame strike. Until then swarms are going to be a real pain. Should we buy a necklace of fireballs or a CL 5 wand of burning hands?
I seriously considered adding an align weapon scroll to the mix, is that something people would value? Or you do prefer people to find their own way through DR using oils like Alyn proposes or buying enhanced weapons?
For Lolito DR will be a pain because align weapon for example cannot be used on an unarmed strike. If you do think DR/good is going to be a common problem I guess I could look for holy amulet of mighty fist.
I will be buying my own align weapon oil. It's just part of my standard kit. I will eventually buy an adamantine weapon, but I'm will focus on rounding out my gear with this set of purchases.
I will also buy enough splinter cloud arrows for a swarm or 2 for Lara and I.
When DR comes up DR/good is the common one. What about Bless Weapon, Blessed Fist, Funereal Weapon (for undead). There are a few spells that help with UAS metal DR but flurrying with weapons is usually better. A lot of this is moot if you plan on picking up pummeling style.
I did not know about blessed fist, if possible to buy that stuff (I am not sure what are the valid sources for this campaign), I think I will get a couple potions of it.
Of course, if Kragg is willing to cast this on Lolito, he will be very happy to buy a couple scrolls for him.
A CL5 burning hands wand does seem like a good investment for swarms. When I play a melee type I tend to enhance my weapon to get past DR, but having situational items to get you over the hump never hurts.
as for allowed sources: pretty much anything that is published by Paizo for 1st edition is fair game.
I really like the rarity system for 2E, but there isn't an easy way to handle that in this campaign. for anything particularly unique just ask me here if it is something you can find in town or if it has to be ordered, but basically anything in the pathfinder world can be purchased and sent by boat if needed.
If Carver still refuses then I guess meeting is adjourned and we make plans without him. He hasn’t lied that we know of or indicated he is more than he seems so we take him at face value and move on.
What’s next then?
I think everything points towards the hag at the central mountain/volcano (Nal-Shakar?) to liberate our friends Locathah kidnapped by her minions.
Sounds reasonable
Sounds good to me.
Will get a loot list request by tomorrow
Just tallying up all the 'Selling' items, looks like 5,759.5 gp each.
Thame wants:
Headband of Intellect +2
Bracers of Armor +1
Wand of Burning Hands (Lvl 1)
Headband of wisdom +2 is all on my list as I will keep the rest for upgrading weapons and armor
+1 Fauchard 1 - 2314
+1 armor -1000
Opalescent White Pyramid (Ioun Stone) - Cracked 1 500
Wand of infernal healing
the straight up stat increase items (armor, headbands, bracers) and the two wands are available in the colony. the Fauchard and the related ioun stone will need ot be ordered from the shipment
Lolito will get a belt of strength +2 and orders a wand of mage armor for shipping.
If possible to buy a potion of mage armor in the colony, he will buy a couple of them asap.
yes, you should be able to find any potions and scrolls of level 1 spells
Hey everyone just a recruitment post in all my games. We lost a paladin and an archer in my wrath of the righteous campaign and also lost our frontline duo in reign of winter campaign.
The wrath of the righteous characters are in book 4 and are 13th level mythic tier 5.
The Reign of Winter characters are in book 5 and about to be level 14.
Either we leveled when I wasn't looking in that WotR game, or we're level 12/tier 5.
As for Lara, looking over my options, I think I'm just going to keep it simple and get a +1 composite (+2 STR) shortbow and a belt of DEX +2 (should end up being roughly 6525gp).
No you are correct that you are level 12 now but after the current fight and one more encounter you will be 13th. By the time we find someone and get the acclimated I figure you will be 13th level.
I could do Reign of Winter. I have a front liner ready for that game.
Ok, after buying the party healing items the consolidated share we get is 5,454.50 gp for each of us.
I see Kragg already has some wands of healing, so perhaps it is a good thing this one goes to Lara, while the rest of the scrolls can go to Kragg.
wand of cure light wounds, 750 gp
scroll of protection from evil, 25 gp x2 = 50 gp
scroll of remove fear, 25 gp x2 = 50 gp
scroll of remove sickness, 25 gp x2 = 50 gp
scroll of remove paralysis, 150 gp
scroll of delay poison, 150 gp
scroll of remove blindness, 375 gp
Please, remember to include them on your profiles so we do not forget about them!
Alyn can use wizard scrolls of fist level with out a check, so I will hold 1 protection from evil in case something happens to Kragg.
Hey Kragg,
The build is a ranger 1 goliath druid that uses shapeshifting hunter for full favorite enemy. I will the build is a super durable fountliner with solid damage out put. If you want to se ea fullbuid I can put one up Monday.
I don't have a map for this one, but it should be a simple one, so we'll try to do it theater of the mind style this time.
Works for me.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Despite this foul year I hope you find the opportunity to enjoy your time with family or friends, even if only close ones this time.
I second that. I hope everyone is celebrating and keeping safe.
Ohmg, I think I know what are these... we had a similar fight a couple of weeks ago in my Serpent's Skull campaign... start to worry more about your mind than your wounds. Ouch.
I think the image of them that Striker posted said what they were.
pretty sure they are unique to this campaign, but they are a variant of something that is more common in the world
Just hope they die quickly so we don’t take too much attrition. Not looking forward to the next grapple attempt although it looks like everyone is free but Kragg. Only 1 con down is a small price for everyone else at full strength.
-1 con does nothing at this point as Kragg had an odd con already. All good to move on!
those that are not in the water yet, please post what you are doing. need to know if anything else is happening or if i should skip ahead to when they make it to the island
Done. Now you can chomp off Alyn's legs.
Well, I can only say I am happy Lolito was not intercepted by a Kraken :)
If needed, Lolito can auto-succeeded on a Swim DC 10 check to aid another on Lara.
Note Thame has not posted in the past three weeks. I GM a game where he is a player and he has been totally absent without a notice.
I hope he is well, but we should not expect for him to post in the immediate future and we will have to bot him or have him stay back (maybe he is too scary of the place and decides to keep watch at the crest?).
Ya he is in another game with me as well and not posted there I don't have a contact for him off the forum unfortunatly.
that's good to know. I will send him a message.
with the way life has been lately, I am hesitant to replace players who are absent for a bit, hopefully he will respond soon. I will bot him for now, as this isn't a great spot to try to bring in a fresh face!
if any of you are willing to bot him that would also be helpful, as it is harder for a GM to impartially bot a player, especially during an exploration/investigation segment.
With Kragg's critical and your hit, we are probably on the way to defeat it, so better to handle him now rather than having to face him again on our way back. That's my thought! :)
Agreed. The numbers made the decision for us.
Hey guys just realized my account got logged out and never saw any updates. Will catch up and post today.
That is bothersome. It is fine though, we are waiting for the GM JankInTheTank.
hey all! sorry about my lack of posting lately. I am in Texas and in the middle of this crazy ice storm. we lost power and water for most of the week, just now getting everything back to normal. luckily we avoided any lasting damage so far (burst pipes, trees falling, etc). I will be trying to catch up on all my games today and tomorrow, and as long as we keep our power on I should be back to a normal schedule.
No worries. It seems like there are a lot of players around that were affected.
take your time. In South Dakota so I understand cold weather. Glad to hear that you are doing all right all things considering.
Ohm, I forgot to add the flank with Kragg bonuses to Lolito's attacks. As this is a situation of life or death, maybe you can be lenient and consider to add that +2 to all of them! Thanks!
sorry for the slow posting, very busy week at work, we have a key member leaving at the end of the week and I am trying to run point on documenting all of her processes and such before she leaves.
will have a better post up tomorrow I hope. assuming Lolito is opening the door to the center room, please make sure your tokens are in the right spots.
No worries.
