Its "A" Dungeon (Inactive)

Game Master Terquem

Seriously? WOW. I am going to go on such a horrible streak at some point.

NO mention of snakes in the chest, so we can 1) assume there are no snakes 2) Assume if there are snakes, they are exceptionally good at hiding or 3) Snakes are not in chest, but on trains and/or planes.

somebody got the mother coin lovin snakes out o dis mother coin holding chest

So you're saying 160 lbs added to my 62 is too much? heh.

well it is a bit beyond a Heavy load (175 lbs), for you, so you might be walking a bit hunched over, and not be as "swift" with those rapiers (might even lose a bit of AC)

Hrm, I have 200 for my heavy load, are you adding my backpack to my encumbrance? Not that it matters, I wouldn't want to go much beyond Medium.

Maybe we should just haul the loot out and then come back in. Between the four of us we should be able to lift the chests (after checking for traps of course) and carry them out to the city.

I thought a Strength of 14 was a heavy Load of 175? maybe I missed something.

You can buy a lot of gear with 7981 silver pieces, not that you know that that's how many there are because you didn't...wait, aw nuts.

I think a break from the dungeon might be helpful. I don't know if Cat is totally with us again or not.

Well, that's good enough for me.

He has a masterwork backpack which treats him as having 15 strength for encumbrance only.

I agree, leave and come back, perhaps get some more stuff, I am not sure I am prepared very well, not having sacks.

*snicker*

Keep laughing. You can carry the 11' pole.

Anyway, it sounds like we're agreed. Hoof it out, do some shopping, and come back in.

Well I suspect the warrior has more carrying capacity than I do, but I can carry some of the coins. I can carry almost a full chest without going above Medium Load.

We have a rogue, we don't need an 11' pole. Of course you can grow another 5 feet and we'll be good.

Wait, how is the rogue going to take the place of an 11' pole? I mean, what do you plan on using the pole for? Teirest winks.

Ask Berenwyr, he's the one going around talking about giving me an 11' pole.

Okay, exit to the town above it is. It takes you two turns to exit the dungeon, following your map, and that puts us at Turn 12 (so there is one last chance for a Wandering Monster Encounter at the entrance as you are leaving)

WME?: 1d6 ⇒ 6

No WME, :(

Does anyone remember what I called the shop in this town? I know I mentioned it somewhere and it seems like I mentioned a tavern or inn as well, but I can’t find those posts. You’ll need to quickly describe what you want to do, “rest, buy supplies, scribe scrolls,” that sort of thing and decide on an amount of time spent in the town before you head back to the Dungeon. It is Day one, of the whole grand Its “A” Dungeon debaclethon, so I’ll move the clock forward as soon as I know what you want to do. In the “Emporium” near the Dungeon entrance you can buy practically anything, including most magic items (but be warned, the merchant who runs the Emporium is not always honest about how many charges a wad might have, and other important details about magic items)

I am assuming that the last bit of coin is divided amongst the 4 of us, and the stuff they got before is divided amongst the two remaining? Anyway the 4 way split is 1995.25 (meaning we get 1/4 of a silver, or 2.5 copper?) I dunno.

Is that right? 199 gold 5 silver 2 copper, 2 copper to the minion?

Yes two copper will be the exit fee, this time

Is that good for everyone else? I am probably going to sell my rapiers and go with short swords, no difference in damage and I think the offhand gets better to hit, then.

Outside of that, I don't really need anything else, so if someone needs some gold, let me know, I'd be willing to help someone buy a CLW wand if they need it.

It's the Shady Dragon Inn and Jeffry's Emporium of Extra Special Things (pg. 2 of Gameplay). Do we also get our share of money from those grindylows too?

Also, page 3 I think:

The three of you can continue on, or exit the dungeon to The Shady Dragon Inn to try and hire a replacement Cleric, look for a buyer for the bracelet you found, and generally spend your money in Jeffry's Emporium of Extra Special Things.

I live to serve.

Awesomesauce! Thanks!

I think Darmo was carrying the loot from the Grindylows, you might be at a loss on that one.

The Shady Dragon Inn charges 2 gold pieces for a night's stay, and that includes breakfast of sausage and eggs with bread, butter, jelly and coffee. Dinner is 8 silver pieces, and includes a plate of roasted duck, vegetables, assorted breads, and beer.

Jeffry's is run by a woman named Linda, and she sells just about everything (prices are as listed in the PRD), and she will buy some goods if the asking price isn't too high (if you should want to sell something to her, make a Diplomacy Check, or something similar, and tell her the price you want her to pay).

Do the rest of you want to stay the night? I still have a full complement of spells, and can keep going if that's what we'd rather do. Does the Shady Dragon offer money changing / lockboxes, or anything like that? If so, I'd rather just deposit, but needed supplies, and roll back into the dungeon.

In terms of stuff to buy, here's a non-exhaustive list of stuff that might help:

Masterwork Backpack - 50gp, 4lbs (increases carrying capacity by 1 Str point, i.e. Str 12 treated as Str 13 for carrying capacity.)

Small Steel Mirror - 10gp, 1/2lbs
50' Silk Rope - 10gp, 5lbs
50' String or Twine - 1cp, 1/2lbs
Candle - 1cp, -lbs
Sunrod - 2gp, 1lbs
Trail Rations - 5sp, 1lbs (per day)
Alchemist's Fire - 20gp, 1lbs
Lamp Oil - 1sp, 1lbs
Acid - 10gp, 1lbs
Powder - 1cp, 1/2lbs
Antiplauge - 50gp, -lbs
Antitoxin - 50gp, -lbs
Tindertwig - 1gp, -lbs
10' Chain - 30gp, 2lbs
Common Manacles - 15gp, 2lbs
Grappling Arrow - 1gp, 1/2lbs
Block & Tackle - 5gp, 5lbs
Crowbar - 2gp, 5lbs
Drill - 5sp, 1lbs
Flint & Steel - 1gp, -lbs
Hammer - 5sp, 2lbs
Common Grappling Hook - 1gp, 4lbs
Periscope - 20gp, 4lbs
Piton - 1sp, 1/2lbs (each)
Pole - 5cp, 8lbs
Portable Ram - 10gp, 20lbs
Saw - 4cp, 2lbs
Sewing Needle - 5sp, -lbs
Shovel - 2gp, 8lbs
Holy Water - 25gp, 1lbs

Anything else you guys can think of?

Can we sell to Linda at 50% listed value without the diplomacy check?

Yes you can rent a "storage" box at The Shady Dragon 1 gp per week.

You can also exchange monies for 2% fee at Jeffry's (where they also buy gems and jewelry). You can sell to Linda, at Jeffry’s for 50% list, as long as you do not roll a 1 on a d12 with every transaction (she'll find some reason to refuse to buy even for that price, citing wear or defective materials or some other nonsense).

I'll sell my two rapiers for 10gp each.

Don't roll a 1: 2d12 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7

I hate you dice! So 10gp from one, probably the kobold blood, silly woman.

10gp for the other Short Sword, then 3 sacks 3 sp. Then I'll buy a few things, I'll update my sheet.

I'll rent a storage box so let's say I pay 2 gold for 2 weeks. I'd rather not pay 2%, I have standards for whom robs me!

Berenwyr also rents a storage locker for two weeks, and places most of his wealth into it.

Ready to roll back in.

Check my sheet before buying anything, I've got a lot of things.

Sadly, I bought enough my encumbrance to medium

okay I've cleared the map. I'll rebuild it as soon as you decide if you are going to go back to where you left off, or from the entrance, choose another way to go.

How about we say the party spends 4 hours resupplying and taking care of business at the Shady Dragon Inn, or do you want more time?

I've also got a good amount of stuff. I think we could use some rope though.

Teirist, you could drop your bedroll...

4 hours is fine by me. Probably more than enough. Berenwyr will eat a meal before heading back in.

Hmm, we can head back to the dungeon. I'll grab a meal at the inn.

So I'll sell my old backpack for 1g, sell my glaive for 4g and buy a masterwork backpack 50g, an antidote kit 100g, holy water 25g, a buckler 5g and a morningstar 8g. I have 50' hemp rope.

2d12 ⇒ (12, 11) = 23

1st=backpack
2nd=glaive

And 100' of twine 2 cp.

Do we need to hire a new fighter? ;_;

Meal at the inn sounds good, then lets run back in. I need high quality cuts of meat. Er..you guys aren't believing the butcher story?

No, your lie wasn't that convincing.

Baker?

Candlestick Maker?

Do you own a tub?

*sigh* I guess we need to try and recruit a new fighter.

So Thank You to Jerrica for sticking with this mess, and thank you to new players.

I don't own one. But I did pick up some pages from the dungeon.

No worries Terquem, Jerrica is a saint though.

If you get someone who wants to play rogue, I can switch to a warrior, just to make it easier. I think this is a great idea and hope we can continue.

It's quite alright.

We'll just let Jerrica soak in the tub while we wait.

How about we recruit while we eat instead?

I am recruiting now

Am I level 2 or level 1? Probably goes for Berenwyr too. I just want to make sure we are where you expect us to be.

you know what, let's make you both level 2 to march Jerrica and the Fighter I am trying to recruit. We are using the fast track so you should have 1300 xp

Sweet! I'll level up then.

New spells: Vanish is definitely one. For the other, I'm thinking expeditious retreat or enlarge person. Any preferences? (I'm sure whoever we get as a fighter would prefer EP.)

Not getting any bites on my recruitment for a replacement fighter. Would it be alright if I created an NPC to fill in for a while?
