Motteditor's Reign of Winter PBP (Inactive)

Game Master motteditor

Having to work from home all day because of the snow. Will update probably around 9:30-10 p.m. Eastern, once I'm done working and talking to the ol' ball and chain.

This may be the longest fight I have ever participated in: Over a minute long!

Yeah, I think this is up there with one or two of my longest. The climactic fight of Kingmaker's first book rivaled this (and left us with almost the entire party unconscious, so you guys are doing better there).

Sorry, guys; didn't realize we weren't getting notifications of new posts.

Glad you liked the fight; definitely set up very cleverly, with the dragon having fire resistance to bolster its typical defenses.

You had some tough rolls early on, but I think it balanced out with some bad ones later on. And, yeah, by my count Tsin would have been dead by 1 hp...

I thought about holding off so I don't affect your deliberations/role-playing, but that would likely take another 24 hours, so ... what do we want to do?

I'm happy to run folks through Ivorylass, but if Tsin's not there, we may be playing for a couple months with nothing for her to do (I guess I could try to come up with some B-story back in Spurhorn/the Hut), which doesn't seem fun.

It sounds like we're done on Triaxus, which means we're also done with Book 4!

Everyone can level up and if you want to take a few days to do some crafting and/or trading, you can. As soon as everyone's ready, we'll move on. Just over four years (about 5 weeks more) to get this far. :)

Uh, Mal...Hek is gunna need a fancy headband of wisdomming if he's going to access his lvl 7 spells. If we have time (or can create time), maybe add that to the crafting list?

Hek has gear of about 63.4k gp

Whoops, forgot. You can also get 12,000 gp for Yrax's golden adornments.

You're pretty far down the list, lad! Additionally, I don't have Craft Wondrous Item, only Arms/Armor, Wands, and Staves.

What?! How dare you, sir! I have needs! Fake wizard! Fake! Craftgazi!

GM Motte, is there opportunities to shop amongst the local yahoos? What is the spending limit or do we need to call upon our astral friend guy?

Your best bet is to call on your mercane friend, though you might be able to get some more militaristic supplies at Spurhorn.

You can also probably get away with spending a week or two here without a problem if you want to work on your crafting (and trading).

5 days of crafting will complete Tsin's falchion.
9 days of crafting will complete Quinn's crossbow.

That works out to a perfect 14 day / 2 week span. Seems fated.

Motte, do you mind if Hektir swaps out his latest taken feat for Craft Wondrous Crap? Hek would like to do some crafting.

That's fine.

Will Hektir's crap have "MADE IN GOLARION" on them, but actually be made by political prisoners on Akiton?

Tsin will enjoy snicking the Manual of War, should the conversations begin about parsing out the lootables.

Hektir could also take the head of inspired wisdom +4 that Quinn offered him earlier and we'll get another headband for Quinn down the road, and let's be fair, Quinn just does not seem like a person with a 22 wisdom

Nope. Hek's threat still stands...he'll cram it up Quinn's butt if he offers it to Hek.

Hek will be fine crafting one of his own, made my his own two hands and with piss poor high standards that Hek is used to.

Hektir is going to make wisdumb grate again.

Also, do we know how much gp each of us is going to have to spend?

I'm not sure that Golarion is ready for a red trucker hat of wisdom with a "make 'lurion great again" logo

Whoops, forgot. You can also get 12,000 gp for Yrax's golden adornments.

with level up Quinn gains Resurrection, please, kind GM, would there be a 10,000 gp diamond as the center piece of Yrax's adornments, and we'll sell the golden bits for 2,000 instead of 12,000

1d100 ⇒ 59

Since you asked so nicely? Sure...

Sorry, I have a busy week and won't be able to get to the treasuring until Friday...which I will do unless someone else gets to it first.

Hek plans on doing two weeks of crafting things with his tiny orange manly hands. I'll have a list after we get the loot done.

I love the RP of the RPG that Tsin brings to the group, that last post made me happy to the core of my gamer self, it is the essence of what makes PbP special

Hektir, I don't think, claimed any of the magics or loots. He doesn't have an active need for any of it.

I don't ... but only because it makes me feel inadequate. :)

Enjoying the PbP experience with you all. The RP is strong in this group. 2 more books...

/me spits.

So, let's see if we can get all the looting and leveling finished up by Tuesday, please. Monday's the start of Passover, so my sister's coming for the seder and spending the night; I'm not sure what time she's leaving Tuesday, but I'd like to get us going again either that day or the next if I don't get a chance to post then.

We'll see you spend two weeks crafting, with Mal finishing up his two projects, and also giving enough time for what's his name to resupply you if you want to sell/buy stuff (up to a 50,000 gp limit IIRC).

Sorry I've be quiet these last few days, folks - been pretty sick and in bed for most of the last 3 days. Still not doing great, but wanted to touch base briefly at least. =(

Hope you're feeling better soon, Mal.

Uh, I've created a separate sheet on the Reign treasure doc to begin the process of selling the stuff. Hek's Crappy Sheet

If any of all y'all have claimed anything, please let it be known.

Other stuff to be ID'd:

Motte: how much is the icerunner egg worth?

I guess, since you leveled, you could technically try again to appraise everything (or buy the services of a Triaxian to help you).

You can sell the egg (which was a frostcrawler, not an ice runner) for 5,000 gp.

I vote for the Triaxian. I've been home with a sick kid for the last few days. My posts should ramp back up shortly.

I think I remember it being a glacierskater, actually. Or maybe it was snowskipper? They're all so easy to mix up for us non-triaxian visitors.

I've been home with a sick kid for the last few days. My posts should ramp back up shortly.

I don't recall anyone being here with me? Have you been checking in while I've been passed out for hours on end each day?

Mal, remember that hallucination you had of the man in the chicken suit?

...yep. That was me.

But... but... that man fed me soup like a mama bird feeds her chicks.

...I love you man.

That staff of journeys would be nice for the freedom of movement, but that's about it. In the end, I think we're better off selling it than we are keeping it. That's about all Malavarius would have been interested in, apart from the scholar's ring, but the ring is redundant with his spells anyway.

---

TLDR; Malavarius lays no claims to anything!

Quinn already got the headband and then gained the large diamond from Yrax's jewelry, nothing else needed, but once we have a loot total he'll put any shares into getting a better cloak of resistance.

Mott, can we purchase a potion of identify for Mal to use on reattempting the unknown items?

You could, but as they're not magical, it wouldn't do any good. I don't think there's a spell/item that boosts appraise, at least not that I can find as I'm half asleep/drunk.

As all of you but Tsin saw, I don't know if I'll get to post tomorrow as I don't know when my sister's leaving. Happy Passover, all.

In a similar vein, I'll be up in the mountains camping this weekend - heading out Thursday night.

And with Sunday being Easter, I likely won't be back to boards until Monday.

As all of you but Tsin saw...

Sorry, what did I miss?

Just that I wasn't likely to post today. But my sister's just left, so now I think I likely will. After I take a shower as I've already found one tick on me from the walk in the gorgeous weather earlier in the day. So carry on.

Oh, we can content ourselves with the RP while you're away, have no fear ;)

SPOON!
