Quick reference, as I glean info from the treasure sheet:
29,318 Personal, 1200 Restoratives, 3000 Flaming, 13929 Remaining to spend
I'm thinking Pems shouldn't have to dole out all 4500gp for the CMW, as we'll all benefit from it, so I'll drop 1000gp at this time for Tsin's contribution. (12929gp remaining)
Total: 47447gp, give or take- plenty of weapon acquisitions to look over and discard
So where are you all, loot-wise? I think you should be close to WBL, as I don't remember any big missed treasure caches, but I can try to up it a little if need be.
Hektir's current wealth is at 23800 vs. 62000 WBL before the following spending.
16929.4 gp split
-7500.0 gp wild enchant
-6000.0 gp upgrade belt to +2 Str/Con
-1500.0 gp 2* wand CLW
-..250.0 gp 25 bottles moonshine
--------------
.1479.4 to spend
Let's try to get purchasing all wrapped up and get going again Sunday/Monday (though I suspect I won't have time to post Tuesday). You have your location in the spoiler in my gameplay post, but I can post it again if need be.
Let me know where you want to head when you leave the gazebo.
10kgp to acquire Belt of Physical Might +2 (Str/Con)
2929gp remaining
I have a +1 Greatsword and a +1 Ranseur that never see the light of day. Have they already been given back to the party, or can we do that now?
you have a +1 greatsword? I thought it was just a masterwork cold iron greatsword?
Regardless, it's not been sold. The +1 ranseur is included in the cut from this latest batch of sales though.

I've got Hektir everyone's sheet in the Inventory Log updated. Please double check me though, Hek, as I've got your WBL as just shy of 48k, which is a good bit higher than your estimate above.

Working on Mal's shopping now.
-8,250 (scorching ray wand)
-4,000 (headband of vast intellect +2; escape artist)
just going to save the remaining coin for a staff next level
I've gotHektireveryone's sheet in the Inventory Log updated. Please double check me though, Hek, as I've got your WBL as just shy of 48k, which is a good bit higher than your estimate above.
Is your total before or after the wild armor and the shopping spree? Mine, as posted, was before the new purchases.
After I purchase and add things...
Looks like 46494 gp in wealth with .1479.4 to spend...
Ah, yes. Mine was after the additions! Cool, cool.
And I slightly misspoke earlier - just need a final say from Tsin regarding purchases and enspellifications to update her sheet. Otherwise, I think we're all caught up.
Tsin will adore Mal all the more for an enspellification of Flaming (3000gp), and a purchase of a Belt of Physical Might(10000gp), and donation to CMW wand purchase (1000gp min)
Not sure from where we obtained the +1 Greatsword, but yes, please sell, and dispense with the extra coin.
what's your fancy new belt boosting? Str and Con or Str and Dex?
I'll take Str and Con for 10000, Alex.
selling the greatsword and Tsin's old bladed belt, everyone gets an extra 500gp (I've added to everyone's sheets).
added Tsin's purchases to her sheet.
Let's roll!
16929.4 gp split
-7500.0 gp wild enchant
-6000.0 gp upgrade belt to +2 Str/Con
-1500.0 gp 2* wand CLW
-..250.0 gp 25 bottles moonshine

.1479.4 to spend
.1479.4 gp to spend
+.500.0 gp Tsin's Gratuity---------
.1979.4 gp
We still have a spiteful cookie.
I bet that thing is stale as crap by now.
Quinn will drop the extra coin from the amount he was saving to purchase a +1 light crossbow.
edit: instead dropped the fireball bead purchase and took the extra 500 gp and the money set aside for armor improvement to save enough for the Holy ability to be added to the existing crossbow at a price of 8,000 when Mal has time. (+3 enhancement to masterwork item) After the upgrade to the crossbow, Quinn's wealth level will be 48k, currently it's at 40k as I didn't include the cash in pocket before.
Combat map is now updated.
Hey guys, a couple scheduling notes:
I'll be out of town and away from my keyboard Feb. 14-19 for a trip to see the ol' ball and chain. Looking forward to breaking out the short sleeves.
My posting may be spotty the rest of this week, though I'll still endeavor to update daily. I've got a deadline coming up and a number of things to do before heading down, as well as a couple vet appointments for my dog.
Obviously, this applies to S&S too.
As noted above, I'll be out of town through Thursday. Will update ASAP when I get home.
Obviously, this applies to S&S too.
Hey folks, sorry for my absence Friday and my silence over the weekend. Weekends typically keep me away from the boards for the most part, but Friday some new, stricter rules came down from on high at the office. In addition to us now only being allowed to have have covered, company-branded coffee mugs on our desks (RIP circa 1989 Batman mug!) we're also no longer allowed to have our cell phones at our desks.
That puts something of a damper on my ability to participate in the boards regularly through the day and rather limits me to my lunch break.
I'm sneaking this up in the kitchen while making another cup of company branded coffee. I'll try and get up to speed in-game a little later!
Mal, are you having any problems with this map? Just curious about the other one, for the next time we get into combat in S&S.
This one seems to be ok unless I try to zoom. That makes it go wonky and I have to reload. It's awfully small though if I don't zoom in!
I'm thinking my map referencing my have to come in the evenings when I'm at home.
Chicago weekend, last bit of Continuing Education. Should be able to update tonight.
Easter Weekend is upon us! Will be spotty on posts until Monday...
Sorry if I'm not posting quickly or robustly enough for everyone, but what windows I have in which to post are fewer and farther between than ever. I'm desperate to be delivered from a job where my nicknames for the uppity-ups aren't Napoleon, Pol Pot, or The Warden. Until then though, I'm stuck with posting while I take a dump or when I'm at lunch (like now).
And all those cases are limited to my phone, which I hate reading and posting from.
So if I am proving to be a hold up, please please please press things forward without waiting for me.
Totally understand the work restrictions, Mal.
As a general note, it's not about frequency of posts, but what we do with them when we do post. If you have to post less often, I hope they can be better, fuller posts that push and interact. That's what I hope for all of us. I know some posts are shorter than others and sometimes there is less to respond to, but hopefully, we can all leave and pick up on hooks all time.
I have see your phone-posting tricks, but I need to look at my phone to know what to respond to in the email, and I can't do that from my desk now.
And as for the quality of posts, I try to get to as many of my games as can when I'm able to pop something up rather than just give 2 or 3 games some attention. It's frustrating and robs a lot of the joy from even doing pbps from me, but I'm doing the best I can.
Yo Peeps--
Heads up that I'll be AFK from April 8th to 19th. Going to Cuba on a Culture, Economics, and Technology junket with a board that I used to be on. More info here.
Feel free to play or GMPC my <insert yahoo's name here> for all the fun and laughs you can muster. Online access in Cuba is very rare and usually dial-up speeds so I won't be able to post much, but hope to read along when I can.
I hope to be back to posting on the 20th or so, given that I have a long trip home and will need some recovery time.
Signed,
<your favorite yahoo in this PbP>
Sorry about the delays, guys. I have a big project I'm finishing up tomorrow and then I hope to have some more time and be better about posting.
Son of a b#@&$! It deleted my post from yesterday! I worked hard on that! Guess I'll rewrite it when I get a chance (my home computer may have it on Lazarus, so fingers crossed.
Strange; I don't think any of my other posts from yesterday were deleted...
The ol' ball and chain's home until May 1, so my posting may be a little spotty for the next 10 days. DM me as necessary. ;)
20% miss chance, and I'm honored to give you 80%, Mott. I feel so special. Well, I'd feel it, if I weren't numb with rage, at present...
Access to electronics is going to be restricted until Sunday for me. Please feel free to GMPC should my attempts to sneak on prove too spotty.
I'm going to be out of town Friday-Monday. I plan to resume regular posting come Tuesday or Wednesday. We can continue to post today through Thursday, of course.
I'll be off camping for much of that span myself!
Sorry; was all set to update today and I just did SOMETHING to my back. Just sitting here is killing me, so I think I'm going to give myself another day (or two)... Just took some aspirin and hopefully that will help.
Dude. You have my sincere sympathies.
I tweaked my back just out of college carrying a bathtub and it's been a problem ever since! Sometimes I just sneeze wrong and WHOOP-out-it-goes!
Rest up, maybe try a heating pad if you've got one, and for me, sleeping on the floor the night after a back injury helps tremendously.
Regardless, hope you feel better soon!
To try to speed this thing along, here are your choices:
-- Have some way to travel underground (that worked for Hektir, but I'm not sure you have a way to do that).
-- Fly (you'll likely have some encounters, but you can also take steps to try to avoid some/all of them).
-- Teleport and see what happens.
Lol! "Teleport and see what happens"
Mott, you are an excellent GM, but that is one hook I want no parts of! =P
I say we soar and have some pitched aerial battles!
....take the hook....
What's that? Sounds like the GM is laughing...
....take it....
Hey guys,
I'm off to the Caribbean again on Sunday, back Thursday, and won't be posting. Obviously this holds true for S&S too. :)
Enjoy your time with your wife, fearless leader! =)
Fear your time with your wife, joyless leader! wait... that didn't come out right..
Busy week for me. My posting may (though may not) be spotty.
Heading up to Chicago- will likely ghost until Monday evening. Everyone enjoy their Independence Day Weekend :)
Another busy period; will do my best but posting may be a bit spotty over the next few days.

Had to look it up, for its strangeness on my tongue. The day has arrived, and I shall depart for a two-week road trip. Spotty phone posting may ensue, though it may be difficult to discern the difference.
I like to call it 'taking a holiday' because it makes me sound more like Tolkien when I do. =D
Enjoy your time abroad, my friend!
I always do love a discussion about Mythology, there's nothing like stories about ancient cultural traditions
