Shall I assume Gattel exploding his braingem has destroyed it completely or is it still worth the 'destroyed' price of 1200 gold?
*Grumble grumble* dead people stealing our treasure with their selfish desire to be alive and sane *grumble grumble*
How dare they.
I know, right!
Yeah, you lost it. It was pocket change anyways (splitting a pearl doesn't exactly have the same effect as splitting a diamond), but I know that never matters much to adventurers. ;)
I'm just trying not to think too much about the fact that a PC got a reincarnation while an NPC got a raise.
The fact that the PC wanted a reincarnation, the raise was specifically given to us for the NPC's use, and neither really cost us anything, somehow doesn't make it any easier to square in my head.
PC charity is an alien thing.
If it helps, the only advantage raise dead has over reincarnate is that your race doesn't change. Otherwise, reincarnate is arguably better—you don't need a whole body, it can bring people back from old age, and you have a chance of coming back as a kobold!
...with an even worse strength penalty than before...
Don't worry Red, we'll get you on a proper diet and a good weightlifting schedule and you'll be stronger than ever!
...would that actually be possible?
Mechanically, no. =(
You might be able to use strength training with Tanith as an excuse to retrain your 4th level stat bump to strength.

Reincarnate is great for Humans, especially ones who picked a mental stat, in which case you just about have nothing to lose.
For most other races with their SLAs and such though, it's more of a crapshoot.
It's incredibly lame that that's the case.

How so?
We lost a bit with Gattel shattering his braingem and with the adjustments needed for Eben's negative payout but Farrukh's still looking at ~12.8k
Sweet, that should still allow me to squeak everything in, just barely.
If not, I suppose I could just go without the Mithral entirely for a little while and simply buy a Masterwork Breastplate...I'd stil be getting +1 AC, only have a -2 ACP, and move 30 feet because of my boots. But this is the preferable option currently.
Also if I die, I kinda want to play as Ph'Rexis. Pretty please?
Farrukh should be find fundwise. We've got a bit more treasure to get IDed and stuff like magic rings usually comes with a high price tag.

Only if you make him put some pants on.
Pfft. Down with pants!
Tanith's going to ditch the pants and go with a kilt like Kord.

Pants restrict my blood flow, and therefore my magical prowess.
Not gonna lie--I'm really happy we raised Gattel from the dead now. :D
Is everything okay?
We've been pretty slow lately.
I hope things are alright...
I asked Gark to let you guys know that my computer semi-broke down. It's working again now. Post is coming up in the next half-hour.
FYI, while you can Bluff to keep from revealing any telltale signs, I'm going to give the drow an Intelligence check to realize what might be going on. So, she won't be sure if you're lying, but she can try to put two and two together. The DC will depend on how realistic the scenario you engineer is. At the very least, she can realize that she might be followed even if it wasn't the original plan.
Yeah, this is just one of those 'why did I want a prisoner again? Those always bring awkward moral complications!' scenarios. It's so much easier to just kill everyone in combat and let the GM fill in the gaps. :-)
Just for the record, Carina does have 9 Dispelling bombs she can use to break the drow's domination... >:)

"Please don't be alarmed by the explosives I'm about to throw with you. You will feel better, I promise."
Throwing bombs at prisoners? There HAS to be some kind of Geneva convention violation involved with that...
Carina was there anything else you wanted to ask the elf?
Quarter-elf, technically, not that it matters.
I'm tempted to have Tanith butt in just to keep this thing moving.
I did offer you a chance to interject...
Thanks. =)

Rorigo steeples his fingers and watches the proceedings. He refrains from offering his opinion, as he does not feel he has been around long enough to do so yet. They are willing to show mercy. Perhaps they aren't as barbaric as I originally assumed...

Sorry I'm being a bit slacky. I'm at a convention this weekend. I'm checking in but I haven't seen anything that needs my attention.
Aaand that's the infodump done.
Since Astraden is looking for her diamond dust, I think we need to establish a firm "purchases/sales" list relatively soon.
We need to get those last few items IDed.
I posit that with my low bonus, I should get a restoration before I try IDing anything.
Can you restoration yourself?
Yes, as long as she has the diamonds.
...or we can take advantage of the free restoration we have from the thieves guild. If Astraden restores herself, it's a weeks wait in game time before we can have him take off the second negative level. It would make much more sense to hit him up first and have Astraden worrying about diamond dust in a week's time when the second negative level is ready to be dismissed.
So... aside from having Astraden cast magic circle against evil and then snuggling as close to her as possible, what other anti-mind flayer options do we have? I suppose dropping thousands of gold on a communal mind blank scroll would be excessive.

I don't really see how it makes more sense to worry about money in a week, given that we have cash now. I'd rather save the favor for a week away (or even after that, for if Astraden ever keels over again and someone else in the group gets level drained). Save it for when we can't get it cast by one of our own and it's "worth" a full 1280.
If no one was able to pick it up for her then I guess it's off to the Norebite (Noreban?) tomorrow. But that's another few days of posting away and it means only Spellcraft attempts tonight.
I think mainly my 'do it NOW' concern is that we as a group tend to forget that we have certain resources available (see also: 'we have a rope of climbing!'), and given how far off a week of game time might be in real terms, it might get overlooked otherwise. (And that we don't know how long the action will keep us around Greyhawk, this time; after we kill the mind flayer we might be off to party with the dinosaurs on the isle of dread or something.)
But we can always just run out and grab some diamond dust before dinner, if you'd rather do it this way.
If it's super important to nail down money I can post a final draft tonight. Anything that's not IDed we'll just forward to the next haul. We should try to get the mirror priced. I'd rather not lug it around for too long.
I am about to go on Chinese New Year break for a week from work, so expect more from me starting tomorrow.

If we actually don't have enough cash for it right now then there's no point making another loot sheet, and the easiest thing is to use the favor.
Have fun WW!
