Sure. There has got to be someone in town who can do it.
What do we want to spend the cash on? A magic quarterstaff for Juma sounds good, but pricey since it's a double weapon. I'd like a Charisma headband, but that probably needs to wait.
I should probably at least spring for a masterwork crossbow, now that I think about it.
My AC is seriously lagging. I would love a +1 breastplate and maybe even a +1 ring of prot, if possible.
We could probably hold off on magic weapons, though some scrolls/oils of the magic weapon spell might not be a bad idea.
Masterwork dueling sword for 1d6! For those times when fire just isn't fast enough.
I'm thinking of grabbing a wand of recharge innate magic so I can cast my fireballs . Thoughts?
Main trouble with fire is I always have to put it away to work on locks.
I would love a +1 breastplate
A very affordable option. I'm on-board with that at least.

Also agree.
We'll also need more healing. We could see if the town happens to have some kind of unlimited healing magic item, or we could just dump some more money into wands.
Out of a pot of 6,000gp, I feel like 3,350gp (minus the selling of my current armor) towards keeping the 3-man-party's primary frontliner well-AC'd is probably a sound investment. Come to think of it, I still have about a grand lying around from our last payment. So actually, I guess I'm only really asking for about a third of the pot.
So if I sold my current armor for 75gp, and added that to my 1105gp, I'd have 1180gp.
Total cost of what I'm wanting is 3350gp.
So after using up "my" gold, that would mean taking 2170gp from the latest payment.
Would you guys be okay with that?
Sounds good to me. That leaves 1915 more for each of us. I'll probably just pick up a masterwork crossbow and some more bolts, then save the rest of my share because I really want a headband of Charisma by level 5, so I can get that bonus 2nd-level spell and start handing out heroisms.
That's fine by me. I'll take 1000 to upgrade my armor to +1, because I like to pretend to be a fighter too.
If we grab 4 oils of magic weapon, that'll leave 2,630 that Dagon can use to buy a headband. I'll have some personal gold left over that I can use to buy another wand of CLW, but then I won't be able to afford a wand of recharge. Which is fine I guess. I'll get it next level.
Okay, I deleted my remaining cash (well, except for 9 silver pieces that I have left over) and added the armor and ring. Make sure you guys figure out how much cash is left and where it's recorded.
Shall I carry... maybe two of the oils of MW?
I picked up 2 oils (along with the crossbow, cold iron bolts, and silver blanch). I figure Kaelic can spend the same amount on 4 scrolls, to cover the two of you.
We still have half a wand of CLW. Do you think we need more?
We have more HPs now. It'd sure be a shame to run out part way through.
So you're not getting a headband? Are you just picking up the crossbow & company and banking the other 3600 or so?
Also, good point on the scrolls. Though I think you should give one of those oils to Juma.
Fine with me. Juma, you now have one of the oils.
No, unless you want to chip in, I have only 2866 gp left, so I can't afford the headband yet.
I'll take 1000 to upgrade my armor to +1...
If we grab 4 oils... that'll leave 2,630 that Dagon can use to buy a headband.
But I'd be about 100gp shy of a full wand of CLW, and you wouldn't be able to buy your crossbow business. So yeah, how about we just split the cost of a new cure wand and then each bank the remaining share (being 1540 before oils).

How much do you think a headband costs? It sounds like you think I can get it for 2000, but it's 4000.
So, should I subtract 375 from my share to pay for half of a healing wand?

Your sheet said you had just shy of 1400. 1400+2600=...(can you get it from here?)

That's what I meant, yes. And I'll add 1540 to my stash.
So did we get this all settled? I'm a little lost on how many oils of magic weapon I'm supposed to have at this point...

I gave you one to carry.
Kaelic, do you want the partial wand to carry?
I just put the full wand on my sheet. As long as we both have a good number of charges for in-combat healing, I'll mark off the out-of-combat healing.
I still have this wand with like 7 charges on it. I was thinking we could give it to Juma in case something really crazy happens.
With UMD being a trained-only skill, that would be 100% useless.

I mostly meant in case I fall down a pit of foreversuckiness and Dagon loses his pack down the same pit.
You know the pit. I believe you call it "home". Zing!
t(-_-t)
Anyway, are we ready to rock that cave?
I'm good. Dagon you good?
I'm good.
I guess we're good.
Close enough, I guess. Someone tick those off.
Got it.
Happy Thanksgiving fellas.
@Dagon: I'm not too far from you atm, at the in-laws, near Knoxville. Caryville/Jacksboro/La Follette area, on Lake Norris.
Happy Turkey Holocaust! Hope everyone is enjoying doing their part to keep the poultry population in check.
Kaelic, do you want to do the healing with that mostly-empty wand?
FYI, that's 7783 gp in addition to whatever we can get for the scroll and Secrets.
I'm doing the healing with the full wand for now. I want to keep an odd wand out for wrist sheath emergencies. For instance, if yours runs out.
Phew. Six charges.
I was going to say you can have a couple of real spells, since I probably won't use them for anything else today.
As a sidenote, after my fire runs out, I'll cast recharge innate.
TBH, save all the charges
You'll have time before you head into your next "thing".
Wait, if you didn't sell the items, then they haven't been taken yet, since the inventory hasn't been finished.
No, we didn't sell them. We left everything in the manor, to my knowledge. We just cataloged and cleared traps. I assumed if they were gone it was because the auctioneers had come by and stripped the place while we were in the cave.
Yeah, I thought we were specifically told NOT to loot the place?
Well then....
Time for an epic retcon?
No, I just mistakenly thought you took that gear, since OOC, I knew it wasn't part of the inventory.
Yeah, we had no idea so we just left everything. We're so honest. We even left a bound devil!
Couple of things:
How much cash do we have right now?
I'd like to see about getting some restorations or our new friend. Partly because she'll be more useful, but also because leaving an ally in such a tortured state seems like grade-A doucheyness.
Those will be very expensive, I hope you understand. The scrolls alone will be 375gp each (so 1,125gp for 3), not to mention the 100 or 1000gp each for the material components. If those are permanent negative levels, that makes those negative levels more expensive than Dagon's headband.
I haven't figured up what we got from the cave. We kept that money, right? Did we keep/sell the stuff too? Or was that part of the manor's inventory?
I was under the impression that the stuff in the cave was not part of the inventory, but I could be wrong.
And I was hoping for spellcasting services rather than scrolls, if possible.
Yeah, I suppose if we can find a 5th-level cleric running around that would be better.
7th-level, actually, but yeah, we should look around. And also diagnose whether those negative levels are "temporary" or "permanent".
Oh dang, I forgot it was a 4th-level spell.
So if we can find a cleric, then it's 7x4x10=280gp plus either 100gp or 1,000gp, per casting.
We have 7783 gp from the cave, plus another 3125 if we can find a buyer for the scroll of permanency (I don't think there are any worthwhile spells to use it on, since we'd have to hire a wizard to use the scroll on us). Then we have that special book which we need to get appraised, I suppose. Could we enter that in the auction ourselves, do you think?
Like a fool, I put CG on my character sheet, so I guess I want to help this Shae as well. We can certainly afford it, even after buying my headband.
So Juma gets a ring and a staff, I get Juma's old ring, and Dagon gets a key.
Not sure what those other magic items at the auction were though.
EDIT: Would anyone object if we saved ALL OUR MONEY FOR A STAFF OF FIRE?
