@All
Sorry, I missed the edit time.
I just want to clear this up. I know we are in a 'most likely' private place. By big communal room I meant that the place isn't really 'safe', and it would not surprise me if Delmont put some to spy on us. That's why she talked like that.
I'm at university, and ended up messing with my time and missed the edit.
Sorry.

More or less.
It depends.
I updated my sheet with the miscellaneous magic items we found and didn't sold over the time. (Check the equipment tab).
Aside of that, there's the ring, the sorcerer stones, and the key.
Pretty much that's all, I think.

@Roland
Thanks, I'm learning to use photoshop, when I'm done, that hair will be golden. :)
@GM
I would like to create the following item:
Bracers of Shield
Aura faint transmutation; CL 1th
Slot wrists; Price 2,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.
DESCRIPTION
As a free action, the wearer of bracers of shield can click her writs together, letting her act as though affected by a shield spell for up to 10 rounds each day. The shield effect’s duration need not be consecutive rounds.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
Craft Wondrous Item, shield; Cost 1,000 gp.
Spellcraft DC 6: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Using here, 300gp from the Aloe-Herbs we found at the drake fight, to reduce the cost of creation. (That will leave about other 300gp for Gromff, Miro, Roland to be used in defense related magic itens.)
Boots of Speed:
Haste (10 rounds), spell level 3, caster level 10. That gives us a cost of:
3*10*2000 = 60,000. But that gives you five charges of a CL 10 casting, and the boots only work for 10 rounds (a single casting). Thus, to get one charge, divide by 5. Final price: 12,000g.
Then:
Shield (10 rounds), spell level 1, caster level 1. That gives us a cost of:
1*1*2000 = 2000gp, Based on the same logic above, I would get five charges of shield, and I should divide by 5 for only one charge (10 rounds). However, I think that 2000 is a fair market price.

Also, boss
In the following days, whenever I have time, I want to create the following scrolls (I know they can’t be created all at once):
Then she goes shopping for magic related items and magic components.
Buying two 1st level scrolls: 50gp (Shocking grasp, obscuring mist). Three two level spells: 450gp (Glitterdust, Scorching Ray, Rope Trick). 500gp for the magic related book and materials to create the spell. 450gp in scroll materials components. 30gp in clothes for Catcher and Aerseni. 150 gp for Gromff. What leaves me with: 280 gp.
I had forgotten about the 450gp in scroll components, so I’ll be deducting from then to create those scrolls.
Comprehend Languages (2x) 25gp
Monkey Fish (1x) 12,5gp
Endure Elements (2x) 25gp
Enlarge Person (2x) 25gp
Levitate (1x) 75gp
Resist Energy (1x) 75gp
Locate Object (1x) 75gp
That leaves me with 137,5 gp in scroll components.

I would like to create the following item:
*snipped*
Craft Wondrous Item, shield; Cost 1,000 gp.
The math seems fair. I hope you'll bear with me here when I say that it just seems too good for that price though.
Magic item creation costs don't always jive with the rules, for various reasons. The math used on the Boots of Speed doesn't even seem correct to me because in order to make it a free action to use it would have to be a quickened 3rd level spell, which makes it a 7th level spell, thus exponentially increasing the price of the boots.
That said, there are no perfect answers. You've done your math and your research which I greatly appreciate because it helps me. I'm going to arbitrarily throw out the number of 4000 gold as its market price, thus it will cost you 2000 gold to create this item.
I think this is not too unreasonable considering the "proper" math if we included a quickened shield spell would make this cost much higher.
Can we agree on this number?

Ouch, that will hurt my money reserve at the moment, because I wanted to create a belt of con or headband of int as well, but I agree with the price.

@All
Also, I'm up to creating magic item for the rest of the party, if you guys want.
However, before creating it, check with Zedth if it can be done. That is a fair measure so we disrupt his game and history with magic items creation.

Anyone remembers Tenser transformation and Wraith strike? They are back! Sort of.
Glad they raised the level of 'Wraith Strike' to a 6th level spell.
Man, how I hated this spell.

Roland, just Roland |

Well, it sounds powerfull, for a high-slot spell, of course, but not gamebreaking... On the other hand, Chains of Light is taking away my patience... my CR 16 Dragon failed 7 saves in a row against such spell...
I'm updating the loot sheet we had until some time ago, so we have an idea of what's the current wealth of each of us. Roland is way over what he should in any case.

Hummmm
Aren't dragons immune to paralyze effects?
Edit:
Ahhh, the creature is paralyzed because of the chains, but paralyze is not the spell effect...
Man, that's confusing.

Roland, just Roland |

Ok, the updated sheet with the corresponding wealth of each one of us is here. Mine is completed, and with the loot we had thus far I still have a little bit of money to spend. Note that the sheet tells you the money you've been able to gather during your whole life (or whole campaign, in this case).
What does that mean? It means that, since Sojourn, Roland has gathered a total of 6626 gold pieces, some of which were in the form of loot (Breastplate, Gauntlets of Ogre Strength, Dark Iron Tooth Chain, +1 Earthbreaker, MW Longsword), others were simply spent (like 150 gp in the wand, but also the Earthbreaker I lost - 80gp) - note that there are separate lines for it, in case you want to use them, which lead to the same result anyway, and some he still have to spend, be it in the form of gold pieces, a gold chip or gems. The current values do not take in consideration the loot from last battle, and may change a little bit depending on the value of the sorcerer's stones. BTW Are you keeping those Catcher?

![]() |

@Roland.
Well, practically those stones where created for Catcher.
Only her can use the magic missile one, maybe Gromff want the Protection from evil...
@Lootsheet
I have no idea what to do there.
Should I put everything I acquired during the game? It however does not seem to offer a real value in money. I don't remember having 6kgp '-'

Roland, just Roland |

You didn't actually see the 6k, since we kept most of the equipment.
If we had sold EVERYTHING (before the last fight, I mean), we would have that value, but some things we did not sell.
Imagine it this way: we found an item that we could sell for 10k. Although the party could sell it and split the money, I want to keep it, so I'm gonna buy it from you, paying 2k for each of the other four party members. So, I payed 8 total. It does not mean that I payed you in cash, but rather gave you a credit, so, the division would be something like this:
Member 1: Credit of 2k
Member 2: Credit of 2k
Member 3: Credit of 2k
Member 4: Credit of 2k
To guarantee we do not use more than we have as current money, there is the "Real Party Pool" value, that will show us how much does the party have. In the case above, the Real Party Pool would be 0, showing we have NO money to spend.
So yeah, put all your lifetime expenses there (if you want) and it gets easier to control it. I'm always backtracking my stuff because I usually forget if I already noted a value or not, so the sheet is wonderfully useful in my opinion.

Adakos Telthan |

I'll do what I can to get my starting stuff in the sheet. I'm probably a little better off than you all simply because I was able to come in with wealth by level, which is almost always higher than most games manage to accomplish for some strange reason. I'm constantly challenged in my home games with adding retroactive loot because an adventure path doesn't provide enough treasure for the group.

![]() |

@Adakos
See? I can be a nice person as well! Just don't let Roland open his mouth to sour Catcher mood!

Adakos Telthan |

LOL. In all fairness, he wouldn't just ram some paper in his mouth on your word. Right now he's pretty sure you might be crazy. :)
Not trying to be difficult, but I am trying to see this all from the character's eyes. It is going to take a bit before he comes to trust any sort of arcane magic from a rather unknown source!

My stuff is on the sheet. I didnt want to chew up a ton of space, and data entry, for all of my misc gear, which is quite a bit. I just summed the total value up in a single line. As I chew through different items I can expend them in the lower column.
One thing to note, I'm good with my chit going to the group so you all can make purchases for upgrades. As long as I have some pocket money for now to replace arrows that get lost, like the two I chalked off for the imp, I will be fine.

@Adakos
Don't worry. Just Rp as you would. Don't need to give reasons. No one here does, we just go with the flow.

Miro sighs, patting Adakos' arm. "It is safe, Adakos. Catcher might have a temper, but she wouldn't try to magically alter our thoughts or anything like that." Willing to demonstrate a level of trust he wasn't quite sure he felt, he slips the piece of paper under his tongue, giving the mage a calm, level look.
Wow, thanks Miro! For the not so sure confidence vote!

![]() |

@Loot
Unless Gromff wants the Sorcerer stone, I'll be keeping both.
Updated with everything I spent since the game started.
I'm pretty much on track, since my 'remaining gold' is 2050gp and I have 2010. (Counting the credit note of the dwarf.)

Adakos Telthan |

@Roland and Catcher - Making me snicker for no apparent reason while sitting in my office talking to a vendor (who is boring, so yes, I was checking posts) is NOT ok. Its hard to explain random snickering to someone sitting in front of you without looking like a looney.
:)

Gamemaster Zedth |

I work in an office and I routinely laugh out loud at game posts. My coworkers are used to me by now I guess!

Gromff Hammerhand |

Finally back. But its late and I need to wake up early. I will be regular tomorrow. Never even had time to remove my computer from my back pack the whole time.

Roland, just Roland |

Welcome back dwarf.
Seriously guys, I think we should really make a decision. We have no chance against the big dragon, and if we are caught sneaking inside the cave we're doomed. If you really don't want to wait for an opportunity while we're in the ranks, why don't we simply walk around town to learn more, maybe to learn if it's possible to sneak inside the dragon's cave, and then we take a decision?
Spending some time to study our options might be better than joining a blind cause.

@All
Sorry for the lack of posting and interaction.
Bad day, had to go work without sleeping and couldn't think of anything interesting to write about.

Roland, just Roland |

We could use some of our money to buy an Arcane Eye scroll... Maybe it would draw suspicious eyes, but it's an idea...

Gromff Hammerhand |

Yeah. Unfortunately I will be on vacation again all next week too. The first was with friends and the second with family. They did not collaborate on this. But I will most likely be on Wayfinder a lot. I mean it is a family vacation.

Roland, just Roland |

Roland tags along with Gromff to wherever our family is going. You know, family vacation. And Roland is family, so he will enjoy some family time at the beach.

Gamemaster Zedth |

Nice. Enjoy your time off Gromff. Family vacations are my best memories and my most anticipated times of year.

Gromff Hammerhand |

But my family is incredibly boring.

Adakos Telthan |

Oh hell, Florida is awesome this time of year. The snow birds are heading home, its too early for spring break usually, and the summer busy months are still a ways off.
We go to Sarasota each year for a vacation with my family, and we find plenty of time to break off and do things on our own. You just gotta be creative! :)
And barring that, what Zedth said. Bring games, books, a laptop with World of Warcraft on it, etc. :)

Gromff Hammerhand |

Not sure if they will like me bringing a laptop and they are the kind where we all have to be together at all times and enjoy each others company and yada yada yada.
FYI I am 25 and going with parents and siblings not my own children which I do not have. Might clear some things up.

Gromff Hammerhand |

For a day then off to do other things. Not sure what all of them are yet, but we if we have to go to another historical sight again I am taking the first flight home.

Miro Ammar |

Historical sites in the U.S. are pretty lame. If you're gonna do that sort of thing, I would think Europe would be a better bet.
Then again, that kind of thing doesn't much interest me, so I'm with you.

Adakos Telthan |

Thats where I disagree. My wife and I love checking out historical stuff. We went to London a couple of years ago and it was amazing seeing places like Bath, Stonehenge, Canterbury, etc. It was like stepping back in time. However, there isn't much in the US older than 250 years unless you are talking American Indian type sites. Philadelphia is pretty cool for the early government stuff, but other than that there isn't a lot going on in the states.
However, I will say your family is crazy for trying to spend just 1 day in Disney! You can't even get through one park in a day unless you are skipping a lot of stuff. My wife and I spent 8 days there on our honeymoon last year and we still could have wasted another 3-4 days there easy!
Of course, we are just big kids at heart :)

Gamemaster Zedth |

I love historical sites. I'm a bit of a history nerd, in particular I love US History. I grew up in North Carolina where there are tons of old graveyards, forts, battlefields, etc. At the outer banks of NC there was tons of pirate activity 250-350 years ago, so there are lots of pirate artifacts, stories and museums there to enjoy.
I totally understand how boring all that would be if it doesn't spark an interest, but I've always loved that kinda stuff. Aside from the historical perspective, I try to glean what I can to help flesh out my game-master palette. The more history I know and understand, the more flavor I can bring in my games and adventures.
Nevertheless Gromff, enjoy your time off work!
