Heralding the Coming of the Age of Worms (Inactive)

Game Master Fanguar

I agree with Sverrïr. Alter Self gives a nice ability increas too, do not forget. And Beast Shape 1 allows flight and climb and swim speeds. Just too handy not to have. I think you may want Misforture too so maybe extra hex for your next feat?

Bliadhna Mhath Ùr (Happy New Year) to you all one and all. Have a good 'un when it comes.

Here's to health, wealth and happiness for everyone and more memorable times around our virtual table.

Slàinte!

Personally I would go with evil eye.

You can stack the different debuffs and at level 8 it is a -4 penalty. The save only effects duration, so it always works, and with chant, you can keep it up all combat.

Settled on Renewed Vitality for my new Rage Power;

Thought it pretty prudent given the increasing level of nasty we are encountering.

Glad we are moving again but I am confused about loot. Been too long I guess. Where does the 1900 each come from? What other loot did we sell or distribute? Trying to catch up. And I assume we would have had a chance to shop before heading to the cold forge?

Mmm. Loot - been pretty remiss on that front... think its been an age since I updated it.

Am guessing the 1900GP could be a rough slice of the collective selling of loot not claimed?

My guess as well, but was not sure. Also not sure about what might have been claimed.

Totally can do that. Handing over all the documentation you found in the lair also will net you 1000 gp per player as a reward. City officials would also be happy to buy the mirror off of you (5k gold). This seems more like one of those gain a little fame/prestige type things, but investigating all the nobility and merchants is something that could take months, so we'll just handwave that operation.

The 1900gp is from dealing with the guards. 1k for the documents and 900 gp for the mirror with right to use it when necessary. (4.5k/5).

As for the rest of the loot, that is in your hands my friends. I don't know the last time someone did a loot tabulation. Probably not this adventure.

I'll get on it o'er the weekend. We can then look at how we offload/trade magic items.

GM-F: Is there a recognised "Ye Old Magick Shoppe" within Greyhawk?

I would have to look up up the exact GP limit for the city, but basically anything below 10k is just available, anything else can be crafted (there's a chance what you want is available, but I have to roll). The next adventure is also in the city, so you definitely have time to have something custom made.

Cool. Got waylaid this weekend, and the boards dropping out didn't help.

Will look at the loot o'er this week... drunken dwur's honour. Hic.

And Lucid has Craft Wondrous Item...

Apologies for the short absence. I was sent to London on business.

Issac, here's a decent list of equipment suggestions for monks.

Here is what Issac has for magic items. Note, as per GM, the cost of Amulet of MF was reduced to match the cost of a magic weapon. Upgrading Amulet would need another 6000 gp to reach the cost of a +2 item which is 8000gp. He doesn't have much to spend.

Bracers of Armor +2 - 4000 gp
Amulet of Mighty Fists +1 - 2000 gp
Ring of Protection - 2000 gp
Handy Haversack - 2000 gp

The Bracers of Armor do not stack with the Mage Armor that you can get from Lucid. I think we have had this conversation before? Anyway if you want you can buy a 1st level Pearl of Power and with it Lucid will cast Mage Armor on you (+4 AC for 8 hours at current level). If you decide 8 hours is not sufficient. get two or even three pearls. For 3K you can have 24 hour a day mage armor. That saves you 1000 gold, works against incorporeal undead, and is twice as much armor as your propose bracers.

I am hoping to settle up on loot before proceeding. I think we are waiting on the updated list from Sverrïr before we can do that. He hopes to have it "looked at" over the weekend.

(cough) Oh. Aye. The loot... (cough)

Reaches for dram and gets to work...

Here's all the gear from the doppelganger dungeon, some you may already have noted, so just make sure you're not double dipping.

alchemist's fire x4
tanglefoot bag x2
MWK hand crossbow x2
+1 frost greataxe
ring of prot +2
1500 gp in coins
500 gp in jewelry
+1 longsword x6
MWK studded leather x2
wand of spiritual weapon (26 charges)
a periapt of health
a bag of holding (type I) containing 850 gp worth of coin
finely embroidered cloak (200gp)

Okay working my way through the Loot...

Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds: Issac

Wand of Spiritual Weapon (26 charges): Was given to Aerin, but don't think you recorded it on your equipment. Think its a nice fit for our Shaman :)

Boots of Striding & Springing: Not sure here - would allow Lucid to move up to 30ft per round... Would also give Issac the horse power for 60ft per round! Any takers? Thoughts??

Circlet of Persuasion (+3): Would say Aerin, but he has a Headband of Wisdom (+2) - if Aerin takes this, Issac would most likely benefit from the Headband?

Potion of Resist Electricity 20: Sver will grab this, unless someone else wants?

Ring of Protection +2: Any of us could benefit from this. Thoughts?? Takers???

Bag of Holding: Markus?

Periapt of Health: Very cool - anyone want?

Cash and Treasure: 3950GP in total - equates to 790GP each.

Mundane Items Sale: 875GP in total - equates to 175GP each

Magic Items Sale: 9007.5GP in total - equates to 1801GP 1SP each

I kept the number crunching pretty straight up, not reverse constructing magic weapons and armour - hope that sits okay with everyone?

So some decent coin for us all to spend! :)

GM-Fang: Will you allow us to do some OOC trading before we kick off the next encounter?

First, thanks for the hard work of compiling these lists. I do have a couple questions for you though. Those numbers you present Sverrïr are in addition to the 1900 our GM mentions above, right?

If an item is on your list above can I assume its not in the Magic Item Sale number?

Thinking in rough numbers from GM Fanguar's list, 6 +1 swords (2315 each) would sell for 6945.00 gold. The +1 frost greataxe (8350) would sell for 4175.00 gold. Those weapons together sell for 11120.00 gold, which is more than your total above. So I am not sure what is in your list and what is not.

And Lucid would be pleased to wear the boots but could give them up if someone else really needed them for their build.

I have the wand. It's listed up in my consumables tracker.

I'll be keeping my headband. Wisdom benifits me a lot more than charisma.

What caster level is that spiritual weapon wand cast at?

3rd level.

@Lucid - Coin didn't include the 1900GP. On the totals note I only marked up 2 off +1 swords... Apologies missed the other 4 :S

Am now questioning my math lol...

Let me relook at this tomorrow and give you something definitive (apologies again that its drawn out)

Okay feck knows where my crunching head was at whilst I was tallying the magic item sales...

We will make 24302GP and 5SP in total. Each of us gets a 4860GP and 4SP share.

Cha-ching!

@Aerin: No worries on the Headband - was just me mulling options for the group. Circlet is really good item as it grants +3 bonus to CHA skill checks (which for a group where the majority of characters have CHA as their dump stat - it has potential lol).

I'm back in the States from a London business trip and back to a normal routine.

I can definitely use the ring of protection +2 and give up the +1 Issac already has. Any takers?

@Lucid (Tovan.... lol) - Pearl of Power is definitely a great tactic but didn't want to assume that your mage can do that. Issac currently has Bracers of Armor when he started the campaign and he can definitely sell it. Maybe get a Wisdom Headband that will boost his wisdom which he uses for AC.

GM Fanguar - what is your sell policy for Bracers of Armor, originally bought at 4000 gp? Full value or half value?

Of course Lucid would armor you up. He'd likely do it with a spell slot if you did not have the chance to get a pearl. But he would appreciate your getting a pearl to help keep him charged up. :)

Standard 1/2 price to sell magic items.

Standard 1/2 price to sell magic items.

This is why I generally prefer to repurpose items rather than sell them

Is there anyone else who can use the bracers?

If no one wants them, would Nyx be able to use them? Or will they not re-size that far?

We have +3 Bracers of Armour in the cache.

Not sure on the re-sizing rules??

They should fit anyone, but again, we should sell them. Mage Armor is better and cab be had for 8 hours for 1000.00 gold (pearl of power). Those bracers will sell for 4500.00 gold.

Can we get a final loot list and cut out so we can continue? There are worms to kill. :)

Final swag numbers:

5310GP each
4SP each lol.

Boots still need to be claimed - Lucid is happy to take in first instance, but if someone else wants them they can take em.

Sver is going to take the Periapt of Health - so his Amulet of Natural Armour +1 is now free to a good host. Lucid? Isaac??

Thanks for the hard work Sverrir! Lucid is putting on the boots.

Lucid tries to stay out of combat so if Isaac or Markus want the amulet they should take it.

Is that total in addition to the earlier reward from the mirror and the quest?

Tis indeed - that netted us 1900GP each.

Additional swag broken down into the following:

Cash and Treasure: 3950GP in total - equates to 790GP each.

Mundane Items Sale: 875GP in total - equates to 175GP each

Magic Items Sale: 26552 GP in total - equates to 5310GP 4SP each

Always too many things to spend money on. Lucid will be conservative and spend his money on a mithral buckler, a lesser metamagic rod of silence, and an upgrade for his cloak of resistance. That will leave him with less than 200 gold.

I am ready to continue with the game now. :)

@Lucid: Could you upgrade Sver's Cloak of Resistance to a +2? Believe it would cost an additional 1500gp??

Additionally what would be the chances of him being able to craft him a pair of Boots of Swift Fury? I could buy them for 7000GP, but if you can create them for the 3,750GP (+the cost Sver would outlay for Lucid to study and learn the Rage spell required)

Sure to the cloak if crafting time is available. He is upgrading his already. And also sure to the boots, but that will take at least a 7 day week of dedicated crafting. Not sure how much time we have, which is why Lucid did not enchant his headband of Int up to +4. That would have taken at least 12 days. Per the gameplay thread it looks like we had no time.

There will be a bit of down time after this adventure for crafting, but right now if you want any magic items you'll have to buy them.

Also, remember that you can get two hours of crafting in each day while you are out adventuring, so it might be worth of keeping a running total of that as well.

Right. Lets get a queue started for items. Lucid is making his +2 cloak first. Then Sverrir's. He will share his skill with the party though. so lets get a wish list started.

Sev, I'm super tired right now and not processing stuff well. Can you give me a total amount that Aerin receives as a share?

No worries... including the 1900GP each for the mirror/reward, we each get the princely sum of:

8175GP and 4SP

Spend it wisely! Perhaps invest it in a dwur mining operation lol

Thank you. I really appreciate you handling all the accounting.

No worries matey :)

If no one want the bracers of armor +2 then I will sell it.

Circlet of Persuasion (+3) - Issac will not use. will probably get a headband of wisdom.
Issac will get Pearl of Power - 1000 gp.

Periapt of Health can be used by someone else. Issac already has monk ability that does the same.
Level 5 - Purity of Body- At 5th level, a monk gains immunity to all diseases, including supernatural and magical diseases.

Who has the lowest Fort save?

+7 here.

Sver has claimed the Periapt of Health :)

Amulet of Natural Armour +1 going a begging (Markus already has one).

Issac would have taken the Amulet of Nat Armor but he already has Amulet of Might Fist +1; slot already taken.
