Yeah, I'd prefer to hang onto the consumables. They're almost always worth more used than sold.
I think Vaen is more likely than most to use the invisibility. The other CLW can go to anyone really. Lorick has a low AC, Gehenna too, and they'll both be in combat a lot, so I'd vote for one of them taking the CLW.
Alchemists Fire should go to anyone with a high dex, I think, to increase those chances of landing a touch attack.
I will be leaving later today for some much needed vacation. I will be gone for about a week give or take and the place I am going to has... well, let us call it less than stellar internet. I will try to post from my phone, but if I seem to be holding up the action and/or story, please DMPC my character.
Take it easy F.Castor. I'm sure you need to take a break. Enjoy your time off.
Have fun, F. Castor!
Enjoy, Castor. I hope it's a relaxing vacation.
Wohoo. Level up!
Question what does 1/2 + 1 mean for 1 d10?

Levelled up (outside of the HP question)

Added feat Improved Grapple (really debated between this and Deflect Arrow)

Added Intimidate and Stealth in skills to make Lorick a bit more well rounded

12HD: 7 + Con modifier + misc
10HD: 6 + Con modifier + misc
8HD: 5 + Con modifier + misc

By "misc" I am referring to things like Favored Class bonus and/or the Toughness feat and such.

Half d10+1 means 5+1
Is it sad that this is only the second time I've leveled up in-game on these forums?

Should be it!
Level up will have to wait until I have access to HeroLab, which should be in less than a week give or take. But still, yoohoo! :-)
Good to head to Lancet street and scout the place before 3 as Gehenna suggested. Is Lancet street in a poor part of town?
I don't think we decided what to do with the loot but Castor's calculations look good to me. Maybe we can decide how to buy a group CLW when we have the ability to actually sell stuff?
Apologies for the silence: the other campaign I'm running just hit a critical patch and I was needed there.
Lancet street is a few corners away from where you were with the alchemist yesterday, believe it or not. I'll get you there asap, probably tomorrow.
No worries! I'm traveling for work right now. Probably won't get a post in tomorrow until late at night EST. If needed, please bot Juliet.
Keep in mind that there are 5 platinum pieces that should be added to the loot.
I am back and here is the level up to prove it. :-P

Hi guys, sorry for the delay - job just ended and things are a bit chaotic. I'll have us up and moving asap.
Sounds good, DMU. Looking forward to it.
Hope everything is OK on the job front.
Being between jobs is never fun.
Thanks - post now up. Normal service resumed.
Glad you're back UDM! I'm leaving work now and have my IRL game tonight, so I may not get a post in until tomorrow, depending on how late things go.
Welcome back DMU!
Are we OK, girls 'n' boys? What's the plan here?
Lorick is way out of his depth. Maybe pay a visit to Juliet's father to find out where Queen is? He seems well connected enough.
I'd like to follow through with Juliet's idea and approach them directly.
Juliet's a pretty forthright girl, so she's all for just marching up to the castle. She's also pretty sure the Queen will be sequestered there - it is the most defensible point in Korvosa (she assumes), and the city is experiencing severe civil unrest. Better to be there surrounded by guards and walls and weapons than anywhere else.
However, if people want, she'll go talk to pops, though she'd rather not - that guy's a whole walking barrel of disapproval, and showing up with orphans and legbreakers and tieflings dear gods, and having to answer questions about how she came across this brooch is just asking for a whole new level of guilt trips and shaming, and she tries to avoid pops even when things are going well.
To answer your first question, DMU - great, thank you!
No complaints with Juliet's plan. Although we may be relying on her charm to get us past simple officials and to the Queen herself. Like Lorick mentioned, times are uncertain for the Queen atm.
Heading to the castle by the direct route I guess?
Maybe another Kn: Local roll? See if we can't get a more subtle route through side streets?
There's bound to be "protesters" out and about still, especially as we get closer to the high-rise neighborhoods.
OK, I'll put a post up to that effect.
Travelling right now, will post at the weekend once I'm back at a computer. Apologies for the delay.
Juliet, could you tell me what language you use for Varisian?
@DMU: have nice travels!
@F. Castor: I was using Romanian, if I recall correctly.
Feel free to interact at any point in the narrative, BTW - I'm posting in chunks to keep things moving, not to railroad you.
Hey guys. Hope I'm not being difficult but Lorick's got a hostage situation to worry about!
I think everyone's got a hostage situation to worry about. That was part of writing our characters after all. The question is: who's going to end up being brave enough to face the odds?
It's fine - believe it or not, I've thought of that! It makes things harder for you if you refuse, but we can run it that way.
Your call.
Well I don't want to break up the party. Lorick just wants to ensure somehow that two of the contacts that Lamm has in his grip will be alright if Lorick isn't around anymore.
Fair - but bear in mind it's only 24 hours or so since Lamm last saw you; and with the riots, there's a fair bit going on right now to occupy his mind!
I'm pleased he's such a major factor in your mind, though; means he's doing his job! :-)
He's the only factor in Juliet's mind - like a toothache, she's kind of going to miss him when he's gone.
So... Lorick is open to having his mind changed if others can convince him that Lamm is going to be too preoccupied with a completely devastated Old Korvosa for quite a while.
You guys are a joy to game with, by the way. Loving the interactions. Keep it up.
Perhaps, in other circumstances, Evelyn would have given some guff right back. But in the presence of the queen...well, it would have been a poor decision to say the least. She's as pleased as a pussycat, really, and she lets it show on her face.
This is exactly the look, Evelyn! Nice find!
You guys are a joy to game with, by the way. Loving the interactions. Keep it up.
It is easy - you're running a good game. Thank you!
Did we ever work out a gp split? I'd like to do some shopping!
Cash: 198 gp
Selling assorted weapons and armor: 83 gp, 8 sp, 5 cp
Selling assorted gems and jewels: 95 gp (1095 gp if brooch is included)
Total: 376 gp, 8 sp, 5 cp (1376 gp, 8 sp, 5 cp if brooch is included)
We also have the following optional things to sell if we so choose, though they may be more useful if we hang on to them.
Selling flask of alchemist's fire x2: 10 gp x2
Selling potion of cure light wounds: 25 gp
Selling potion of invisibility: 150 gp
Edit: Err... Or basically what she said. :-) And I am fine with half-shares if we are to be getting some healing thingamajig with the other half. Or is it doohickey?
I believe we decided to squirrel away half gp for a wand of CLW and split the other half into shares. If so...
From the fishery drug den, if my math is correct, we get:
-37 gp, 7 sp, 7 cp.
-188 gp goes to the wand. I didn't bother to split the sp and cp into half, but rather just put them into each of our shares.
From the reward, we each get:
-120 gp
-600 gp goes to the wand, putting us 38 gp over for a CLW wand. Putting that 38 gp back into our personal shares, we get a the wand and a share each of:
165 gold, 3 silver, 7 copper
Who knows someone that sells wands? Not Juliet...
How safe does the city seem? Would Lorick feel it's safe to be able to go into Old Korvosa?
Old Korvosa is still not fully under control; you'd be foolish to go in alone. The rest of the city is (reasonably) safe, at least until sundown.
