Count me in.
So it looks like Tristain has an idea to make this fast.
So let's take care of Penance's list.
30.37 gp
Plus 349.5gp
379.87gp
-150gp for group pitch.
-1 gp for more arrows
-75gp for Longbow (no composites yet gotta save for that.)
-40gp for 2 Smokesticks
113.87gp left
Thoughts on more stuff?
Funny thing about Penance. I never realized how much I liked to talk with my characters before Penance.
No problems with the party's shopping list, but one modification.
Given the state of affairs in Korvosa and the calendar, any wands or items of healing, including potions, are incredibly difficult to find. Luckily for the party, Serry knows a fence by the docks, who can acquire the Wand of CLW, but the asking price is 800 gp. You will need to chip in the 50 gp difference.
349.5 gp
-150 gp Wand CLW
-55 gp MW Chalk Tools
-40 gp Chronicler's Kit
---------
144.5 gp
-10 gp extra for wand CLW
-----134.5 gp new total
Tristain is ready.
Just selling the extra equipment and buying the CLW wand for Todor.

ohhhh yeah, the whole "gods are dicks" thing.
So Todor does or does not need the extra gold?
Glad to be of service. :)
I think Serry will get that riding dog, unless someone objects. So 160 toward the CLW wand, 150 for the dog, 20 for a military saddle, that's 330. Plus 30 more sling bullets, 3 sp, and 5 gp worth of food for herself and the dog. So 388.5-335.3 = 53.2 gp left.
Lucendar, you ok with the dog? Or would that be too much to find quickly in the circumstances?
The dog is fine and available at normal prices.
So Todor does or does not need the extra gold?
I don't currently need it as the first items I'll need are more gold than I have, but the 800 does divide easily to 160/each.
The one thing we are lacking in is the capability to deal with a swarm.
Todor will pick up 2 alchemist fire and 5 oil (40.5 gp)
That put's Todor at
Remaining starting money: 17 gold, 8 silver , 7 copper
Share of equipment = 100.3 gp each
Share of ingots = 240 gp each
Total 358.17
- alchemist fire & oil 40.5
- share of CLW wand - 160
New total = 157 gp 6 sp 7 cp
Good luck with the interview!!
Good luck with the interview!!
With respect to Elric's interview process, it's been 3 days.
Can we move on without him? Especially when he posting with his other aliases...
I was not waiting for him. Been busy at work these past couple of days. Thanks for the patience.
Hi guys, real sorry about the holdup. Life has been crazy busy lately. I'll try to keep up from here on out. (got the job, btw).
Hi guys,
After careful consideration, I have decided to withdraw from this PbP. I feel that I'm simply not able to give it the attention necessary to match the high quality RP from both GM and the other players, and rather than do things half-a**'ed, I prefer to step back and give someone else a shot.
My decision is purely founded on personal reasons, and I have had great fun so far. But my new job will likely take much of my focus for a long while, and I must admit that even without it, being in five different PbP's at once is apparently over my limit. My post quality and frequency have been dropping for all of them for a while, and it is time to dial it back a bit.
Lucendar, this does not affect your Legacy of Fire game. I'm rolling back games one at a time, according to level of commitment.
Thank you all for a fun game so far. I'll definitely continue to lurk and see what crazy antics you get yourself mixed up in.
I will miss you, and I wish you well. Let's see, when they're leaving is when you say the things that you didn't think would be appropriate before... Ah yes, I have an unnatural fondness for the lucerne hammer -- the PS character that I'm working on has one, of course -- and so I was inordinately pleased whenever you whacked something with yours. I'll miss that.
I'll make this a separate post due to the edit bug, which I hear has still not been exterminated. Anyway, after posting that, I realized that Dasiji Lekaya would be a great fit, and it would a simple matter to adapt him into a non-PS character, and I like your game, and I'm only in one other (which is running kind of slow). So, I'd like to be up for consideration for a replacement, if it isn't too crass to say so soon.
Elric: Totally understandable and expected, given your recent lack of posting. I appreciate the honesty and thanks for playing.
Fredrik: Sure, that would be great. Would like to see a full character sheet with concept.
Awesome! I'll work on it tonight.
Is it just my connection or has the game thread disappeared?
Oh dear. I thought it was just because I was on a borrowed computer, due to having left my laptop at work on accident. (Not the kind of place where you can get back in when it's closed.) So, bad news: it's not just your connection.
Dangit. Now I'm on a different borrowed computer plugged into the same network connection as I normally use, and same thing. The thread is in the forum list, with "Last post: Yesterday, 03:19 PM by Penance" -- but it might as well have been nuked, since it's empty when I click on it.

Yeah, it's somewhat gone.
I just posted to it by hitting "Add a new thread". You can see the older posts that exist when you're adding, but it definitely doesn't show up.
If this doesn't come back by tomorrow, we can ping Customer Service. All the posts are still there.
Booyah! Simply clicking on "Add New Post" does indeed show what's there. Huge relief, thanks!
You can also access the campaign site and see all the posts by clicking on my Lucendar alias and choosing the CC campaign and then the Gameplay link.

So 16, 14, 13, 11, 10, 10. Could be better, could be worse. Looking at an urban ranger (two-handed weapon style), possibly Varisian; also considering falconer, skirmisher and trapper for add-ons, with skirmisher and trapper mutually exclusive. (I'm tickled by the thought of a flamboyant gypsy with a big owl and polearms sneaking around like Batman or Blackjack, and the last thing the group needs is yet another divine caster.) Planning on going ranger all the way, since the group has a shortage of melee with Elric gone. It's taking me longer than I expected to refit that PS character's group role into a totally different milieu, so maybe tomorrow. Feedback welcome from whomever, since the Kingmaker pbp that I'm in is my first game since 2e.
A Varisian sits in a booth below a sign of a dead rat -- belly-up, stabbed, X's for eyes and all. To most, his swarthy skin, jaunty hat and neatly-trimmed mustache would seem at odds with his standard Guard-issue armor. A street urchin finds him where he hawks his services to those plagued by vermin, and whispers something. Nodding his head and taking up his polearms, he walks a few blocks to where a half-dozen young punks have started harassing the passers-by. "You look like trouble. I don't like trouble in these parts, and my old buddies in the Guard like not having to come down here. So either find someplace else to act tough, or I'll break your faces." He must have a reputation, since he never stops grinning and they never start, scattering as if out-numbered.
Apologies for the disappearance -- I was away for the holiday weekend, and couldn't even get net on my phone reliably. Frustrating! But I'm back now and ready to hit the seedy sailor bar. :)
Swapped out Quick Draw for Combat Reflexes, since you haven't said anything about Nicolæ yet, and I realized that my presentation implied something about the character's "action economy" as they say.
Looks good Fredrik. I'll get you in soon.
Sweet! Made some minor tweaks ranging from fixing a typo, to adding that gauntlets can do lethal damage, to the biggest change: doubling the oil. He now has enough to go one day down, one day back, and pour four flasks on vermin in-between (in case they don't warrant expensive acid). Getting into this character's head has been quite the trip.
Just checking in. Also, I've come to the slow realization that I may have missed my cue. Was X originally supposed to be me?

I think now would be a bad time to be X.

No argument there! But it might've gone differently with Nicolæ than with this X fella, so I'm just saying, my apologies if there was an implied cue that I missed. And if not, then never mind.
Fredrik, if you're still interested in the game, you can make your introduction now. That is in fact Nicolae Lee. I just changed his armor and weapon for it not to affect the rping. We can say it was an illusion and he was in fact wearing scale and wielding a halberd, instead of leather and a greatsword.
Backstory: Pretty obvious from the rp - Your sister was previously involved with one of the Cow Hammer thugs (the guys who run the butcher's shop). She recently broke it off with the guy, named Karralo, and then she mysteriously disappeared during the riots. You did an intensive search of the city without luck and have now come to the butcher's shop, All the World's Meat, to try and find her and you are pretty desperate, as evident from the fact that you attacked an armed party of four.
Okay! I'm slow at composition, but I expect to get a post up tonight or in the morning.
Penance remains silent watching for enemies.
Crickey.
I'll get a post up tonight (I was hoping someone else would help steer/push), but I begin to think that we have the wrong group for Penance's character (Vow of Silence).
We just don't have enough loud/vocal pusher people in this group (I'll try and push but I need people to bounce off of) and not having Penance as a speaker, Serry posts irregularly, and I feel there is an inordinate RP pressure on me and Todor.
Penance, would you want to switch to a vow of loudness or something else to help address this?
Or maybe be more 'vocal' with your descriptions, movements, or gestures?
Sorry, Nicolæ was taking it easy with the strangers to avoid stepping on any toes. But he's also a man of action, so I'll play that up more.
Sorry but Penance is somewhat of a low key character by design. He really can't help all that much in terms of planning and diplomacy because in many ways he's still the street thug and merciless killer he was when he went to prison. PEnance's vow of silence isn't jsut a show of his repentance for past deeds it's impulse control. His impulse is to kick the door in, shoot everything that's holding a knife, reaching for a knife, or whose face he doesn't like, and twist the arrows in whoever's left alive to find out what they need to know. This idea of trickery and investigation is alien to him so he'll be going with the flow.
Beyond that I keep him low key so whenever I do make posts with long descriptions of actions and thoughts there's more meaning to them. Needless to say if Penance starts to get mroe animated he's worth paying attention to as it's not something done lightly. Sorry about the pressure even if Penance were a talker it wouldn't be much different.
I'm sorry for the irregularity, guys. My work laptop decided to go kerflooey while I was on the road, which made it very hard to post. But hopefully now that I'm home things will go more smoothly!
Ta-da! Because I got annoyed at trying to write a name with a character that wasn't on my keyboard, Nicolæ is now Nicolae. Usability matters!
I'm not very experienced with PbP, so I second-guess myself a lot. Is that kind of RP post helpful? I appreciate constructive criticism when tactful.
Sorry for delay, guys. Work has been busy, with the upcoming Thanksgiving break and trying to get the cases done before then. I should have the map and such up by tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.
I'm sorry Serry and I hate to say this, but I'd rather see you DM'd then have this single round take any longer. I hope that things are going well with you.

At some future time, Nicolae, I'll want to give you feedback (and possibly respond to your other PbP post), but I want to see what you do now before offering any input.
I respect your desire to be a better player. I share in that. :)
Thank you, I appreciate that. I understand that I'm so new to PbP that I have a lot to learn still just by doing, before any advice could be useful. I guess I'm just a bit impatient is all. :)
Sorry to hold things up. I was waiting to see if there was a reaction to Todor's Command, because it might affect what I did.
On second thought, maybe I should've just moved past Helmut, since he probably can't even make an AoO. Sorry, out of practice.

Don't mind me. Just saving me arrows.
Just give me six seconds and you'll lose all thoughts of valuable cash prizes, I swear! Or whatever you were saving those arrows for.
