Old Coin: 364gp 2 sp 4cp
+ Share: 3,380gp 7sp 5cp
= 3,746gp 9sp 9cp
-550gp to have mwk chain barding commissioned for Spike
-500gp for Kereek to enchant the barding to +1
-500gp for Kereek to enchant Prazil's breastplate to +1
-500gp for Kereek to enchant Prazil's shield to +1
-1,000gp for Kereek to enchant Prazil's lance to +1
= -3,550gp net purchases
Prazil's remaining coin: 196gp 9sp 9cp
(Spike's AC is now 32! Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!)
EDIT: To Orin's question below, NOPE! I thought 3,380.75 was the combined/revised total. I'll add the 1,339.45 in as well =D
Prazil, did you count the 1339 gp, 4sp, 5 cp from the sale of the mundane items?

As much as Kereek would love to run his own business, for his friends, you pay cost only.

Oh snap! Does this mean Prazil's gotta drop an extra 2,500gp?! =P
Okay, Kereek will purchase for himself:
- headband of charisma +2 (4,000 gp)
- wand of identify (50 charges) (750 gp)
- scroll of glitterdust (150 gp) (going straight into the ring of spell knowledge!)
Leaving me with 1,717.75 gold. Prazil or whoever is welcome to borrow this if you need more things enchanted.
Kereek can enchant armor for you, Agnar. Since we have a year, all it takes is time and money. Kereek can create up to +2 armor or weapons.
The problem at the moment is the money. Once Agnar's procured the boots, then he'll come to Kereek for the armor enchantments. Still a bit shy.
How much of 'a bit' are you talking? Prazil's got 1,536gp 4sp 4cp left over after figuring the first bit of mundane sales into his earnings.
I can spot you, bro!
And Kereek has 1,717.75 gp he can lend. I've got everything I need; there's nothing I need that I can afford for a long time anyway. If you need it, you should definitely use it! You're our healer, you keep Kereek alive.
I'm a whopping 97 gold short of the cost of the boots, which will leave me nothing for the enchantments. I'm not worried. Still have plenty of AC, and now that I have precise shot I can stay out of melee more often unless I'm needed.
How are you guys doing regarding WBL? It looks like Agnar at least may be well below where he should be. Do I need to increase the haul for a bit?
I'm not feeling shorted, and I don't feel ill-equipped. Can't speak for the rest, however.
I'm actually well over. My stuff totals 31306.75 gp, with the ring of spell knowledge III topping in at 13,500 gp. WBL for 7th is 23,500 gp, so I'm well over that.
Which is why Kereek keeps trying to give money to Agnar! Take the gold, Agnar. Leave the breastplate. Or the bow. For 500 gp, Kereek can make you a +1 breasplate. For 3,000 gp, Kereek can make your bow +2.
According to my log for Prazil, I'm at 26,883.35 in gear/wealth value. Which puts me about 3k ahead of the WBL curve.
Here's an idea. Agnar will sell the breastplate and the shield, then have Kereek enchant a +1 buckler for him, and raise the bow's bonus to +2. That will leave me plenty of cash left over.
Orin has blown past the WBL chart, topping in at 48,683 (if Herolab is to be believed). The +3 ring and the sword account for most (26,375) of that.
OK, so if anything, cut down on the cash! :)
Update coming in the next couple hours, I think...
WBL is a false method of measure anyway. When you get a +3 ring of protection, you can't divide it evenly among the party. It has to go to someone.
Daaaaang, Agnar. Dem rats think you tasty!
Honeyed cleric, braised with garlic and lime?

These rats are really protective of their grain.
They are indeed!
what grain? with that many rats, the barn ain't gunna have no grain! :)
Katerina, for combat, I like everyone to post their actions for the round before I post, though I do adjudicate them in roughly Initiative order (I will sometimes have someone delay, since of course you don't always know what someone else is planning if you post first).
I know that can be a little choppy sometimes, but I find I lose track and/or it slows things down when everyone just posts when their turn is up.
I was thinking so. Was my action going to be ok?
Sorry all for the lack of posting but this has been a rather bittersweet week. Despite winning a rather contentious election I was disappointed that not all of the candidates I was running with were elected. Only two of the five others were elected leaving our local with an even split between the two slates.
Yesterday we had to put my dog of 14 years down. She had developed cancer and was in pain and although she is better off my wife, daughter, and myself are still saddened by the loss.
I should be able to keep a decent posting rate for the next couple of weeks before I take office on March 1st, then my posting might become sporadic for a couple of weeks while we conduct a transition between the officers.
Thanks for the update, Orin. I appreciate it.
Sorry to hear about your dog. Oddly, someone else in another of my games just lost their dog of 14 years as well. It's a horrible decision, and one I'm not looking forward to should I ever have to make it, but obviously you did it for the right reasons.
Ugh. Sorry about your dog. We have a 14 year old dog as well, and for the last few months she hasn't been doing well. Symptoms point to Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (basically "doggy dementia"). Not much to be done, as the only medication to treat it is expensive and not guaranteed to be effective. Just have to watch her closely and make life as comfortable as possible.
Congratulations on the election win, though.

Look! I figured out what to do with that owlbear.
For Spike :)
I now have dreams of a fully grown Spike, perhaps supplemented by an absurd casting of animal growth, toppling castle walls. He's gonna be such a cute kaiju when he's all grown up!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
We need a way of wreathing him in flames. Perhaps I could learn to cast fire shield on Spike? A flying flaming giant triceratops makes me happy.
Sorry, guys, I know we're waiting on me. Plan to update later today.
:)
Just so ya know, Kat's gunna be blocking the first guy swinging at her. She hasn't used Power Attack this round, so her roll to parry will be at +17 :D If she is close enough, she will use a point of Panache to riposte and stick him back :) that'd be at +17; d8+8+6(precision). I say this so you can roll it out and have it in the narrative :)
For future reference, can you make those rolls for me, Katerina? It'd make my life much easier! :)
You can do it behind spoiler text, "If so-and-so attacks..."
(No worries about these ones; I'm about to update.)
lol I can, but the forums here have decided that d4 is just as good as d20 for me ;)
I confess, breaking those walls is one of the most fun things I can recall doing in recent memory.
I am reminded of a universal truth I knew when I was 8: Dinosaurs are awesome.

Thirded.
Also, we might want to tie Prazil to Spike. I'm envisioning bad things if you ever fall out of the saddle at height...
That's why you go get yourself a Ring of Feather Fall :D
What's that, Feather Fall saves the Party, again and again?
Mott, I've been presuming that Prazil's ability to possibly spoil a hit on Spike won't work vs. a natural 20. For future reference, am I correct in that?
----
In a totally different vein, I hope the transition with all the officers goes smoothly for you Orin! And even though the final results split the slates, congrats again on your election!
Thanks, John. I wish I could say things are going alright but when the incumbent Vice President refused to stand next to the newly elected President during the swearing in ceremony and pictures afterward it's not a good omen. It's going to be a long three years.
Sorry, been a bit busy the past few days. Also, not sure where the hole was that Agnar and Orin were supposed to move through. Map wasn't exactly clear on that point, which is why I was going to follow Orin's lead.
FYI, I'll be out of town Thursday through Monday; I think it's unlikely I'll be posting at all in that time.
Will be home tomorrow though may not update till Tuesday.
Am I understanding the jist of things correctly?
A scholar of some possible repute has been studying the centaurs of Iobaria and came here to Varnhold to study the nearby Nomen centaurs thinking they might be an off shoot of an older northern tribe?
Do the Nomen inhabit the super ominious island too or just live in close proximity to it?
That's what I was getting, too :)
It appears he was drawn to Varnhold by a letter dated 2 months ago from Maegar Varn. The letter describes the discovery by a man named Willas Gundarson of the jade bracelet on the banks of a “river of local provenance” and requests Pendrod’s presence for further study of the artifact.
Among his studies, he seems to have highlighted this passage:
"And so it was, high upon the Torres and well above the Vale’s Stairs, where rises from the high water a stony isle of dire report. Known as Vordakai’s Island to those that do live thereabout, some legend of its name doth come down through the locals. For they speak of a guardian that doth destroy all who would set foot upon its accursed shores. They did name no fewer than a twelvecount of their hero-knights who had left their bones upon its rocky shores over the years after having tested their mettle against its dread warden, ’til none would any longer go there for fear of its hidden terrors. And the name of this terror was given unto this Island.
His note apparently to himself asks, "Vordakai—perhaps a Nomen centaur god?”
The legend indicates "a guardian that doth destroy all who would set foot upon its accursed shores" so likely the Nomen do not inhabit it.
In regards to Kat's DPR: The Swashbuckler is *exactly* what I wanted to see in a class; a strong melee fighter that is not "Falchion and Power Attack" or "some series of system mastery based exploits that no newb or even moderately experienced player/GM should know" :)
I think she is straight forward, capable and strong. She is not super awesome wrapped in bacon. She is *also* (and maybe more importantly) very characterful, not "Add a level of Monk* to get this whizbang ability"
Yeah, I like swashbuckler a lot. I'm excited for the chance to play one someday. :)
Hey guys! My first Cabin trip of the year is this weekend, so I'll be unavailable Friday through Sunday.
Hopefully you guys will have figured all the riddles of Varnhold out by the time I get back! =)
