I'd like to get going again on Monday, if possibly (I'm AFK on Sunday). If we can finish any leveling (I think just Quinn is left) and anything else you want to do before you follow the urgings of the matryoshka doll.

For the record and not that it matters (unless it does), Hektir is at about 88k wealth (vs. 240k WBL).

RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

That definitely seems low. You guys should have some stuff to sell from this last mod. Everyone else want to weigh in with you WBL please?

RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

Looks like we're back up. WBL, everyone? And you have loot to sell/distribute, I think. (Though don't make purchases immediately, as it will take a few days for your extraplanar store to make his own purchases.)

I'm in the middle of packing up my apartment and putting all my stuff into storage over the next 3 days; I'll be able to take a crack at the loot and stuff probably on Saturday.

I'm at 66,452.3 gp, unless I'm missing something big.

RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

OK, it looks like everyone's way low (even taking into account the loot from the camp, which is mostly undivided). Please let me know the type of things you'd like ... in general, I prefer vague over specifics (i.e. better AC, as opposed to specific armor of whatever), though if there's something you really have your heart set on, please let me know.


Male Elf Traveler 16 | init +6, per +32 | AC 35/19/29 | HP 130 | Fort +17, Reflex +15, Will +20 (+2) | CMB +14, CMD 33

Quinn is at 96k, better AC would be good, but I'm also interested in play testing new magic items you're creating

RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

Actually, you know what else would be helpful. Letting me know what slots you have available. Does no good to give you guys a belt if you already have one you like/want to keep.


HP 98/98; AC 19, T 14, FF 15; F+9, R+14, W+15; Init +8; Perc+23 (24 vs traps); SR 27; immune to cold

I have belt, eyes, gloves available. I'd love a better headband of intelligence, or something flavorful. Pems doesn't really rely on stuff, so anything weird or wacky works for me.

Hey guys, I'm about ready to get going again, site permitting. I figure it's a holiday weekend, so let's try to get going again Monday or Tuesday (i.e. be done leveling and figuring out what you want to buy/sell from what you got since last time).

I am returned to the internet and only mostly dead from loading all of my earthly possessions that didn't fit in 4 duffel bags into long term storage. Will work on the loot haul from Rapsputin's military camp this evening!


retired (AP completed)

This is taking a while, the last loot accounting I found was Yrax's hoard!

RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16

Yeah, you guys I don't think went back to the hut at all (and thus didn't shop) since you left it. Which probably explains part of the shortfall in wealth.

We stopped in once to call Zilvazaraat, but the only transaction that happened was Malavarius spending existing coin on a cloak of resistance. I'm up to our raid on the 4 anchor-towers now, and the total number of posts I'll have gone through by the end is more than 1800!

OK - grand total of our earnings from this haul yields 202,415.50gp.
6-way cut with a portion going to party stores is 33,735.92.
I've added that to everyone's sheets in the inventory log.

Spreadsheet I used for maths can be found here.

And with that, I'm about done with spreadsheets for a while. Golly.

As for our current gearing, it'll be faster to say what slots I have taken up rather than what slots are free. I've got a magic headband and a magic cloak. That's it for my slotted items!

I've been trying to craft a sweet and proper staff, as any proper wizard should have, but haven't had the time. It's been MUCH more efficient to make smaller things and improve on everyone else's existing items. I am in need of a proper wizard's hat now too, as I think on it. Though, I don't have any ideas or goals for what any thing would fulfill (improved AC, improved skills, etc).

Well, I was going to argue and question a *six* way cut, rather than the five yahoos we have, but then realized that we did add another member through the reincarnation process.

So...as you were.

* * * *

Can we put aside 5k each for healing stuff. A few scrolls of resurrection, lots of diamond dust, scrolls of restoration and heal, a few limited wish scrolls (insanity, etc) and what?


retired (AP completed)

That’s the point of the 6th cut, Hektir - one portion goes to party stores for restoratives and the like.

I would say if you guys want to discuss what you want to use that 6th share for, now would be a good time. Pick what you want to get with 33,000+ gp.

Thanks, Mal.

If any of your recent acquisitions have changed your Perception or initiative, please let me know so I can update my macros.

Also, while you're being urged to the northeast, the trapdoor remains at the top of the boulder, if you want to go out and call Zilvazaraat to do any other shopping based on that loot above. (I'm willing to retcon in that you already ordered the supplies above and that Zilvazaraat was able to fill that order quickly.)

my perception went up by +2!

would anyone benefit exceptionally from my fancy new cloak of displacement more than me? 50% miss chance seems really nice for those of you wading into melee more often than the crotchety old wizard =P

Those items were all chosen very carefully and with a lot of consideration.

I’ve got my annual eye exam tomorrow so probably won’t post until late in the day. Everyone can make any preparations they want before going on.

realized that if Quinn is changed to elf in hero lab it's much more significant than just a loss of 2 con, mainly in that he would lose 2 wisdom as well, going to make that change and update, perception will drop by a chunk...


Male Elf Traveler 16 | init +6, per +32 | AC 35/19/29 | HP 130 | Fort +17, Reflex +15, Will +20 (+2) | CMB +14, CMD 33

...and Quinn Elfkin is updated. Loss of a few spells, DCs are all lower by 1, perception drops by 7, initiative goes up by 1, Dex and Int go up, Con negative already applied, new skills added.

Perception: +30
Initiative: +6
AC: 34
HP: 122
Prayer list and DCs updated

Sorry, had to go out of town for a funeral unexpectedly. Had some spotty internet but all my bandwidth went to an online SFS special I was running. I will be back tomorrow with bright eyes and attention span. Family funerals suck, kids.

Hektir, you realize we’ve found 2 crowns, yes? A fake one on the frozen queen’s head and then another exquisitely crafted one with overwhelming magic radiating off it inside a sack in this secret vault.

Considering the date and that we're at a natural stopping point, let's plan to resume after Thanksgiving (though as noted, I may still be spotty for a few days as my folks are visiting).

Let me know what if anything you do overnight in the tower, and when you're ready to move on and what preparations you take. (You may want to check back to remember the conditions outside were fairly rugged and take those into account.)

I wanted to get all your thoughts on a change to how I handle combat -- though it wouldn't change for this game, but probably for the next game(s) I run.

I'm wondering if -- especially since I do 20-pt. buys and like having five players -- it would make sense when I do grouped initiative to have Round 1/2 (when PCs go before the antagonists) to not get full actions, but rather treat it as a surprise round (which might mean players would potentially get two surprise rounds effectively).

I'm thinking I might relax that rule if, say, only two of the PCs act before the antagonists, or if there are at least three antagonists (i.e. their numbers are more than half the PCs'). (And then I'd spell out each time whether folks get full actions or not.)

I feel like especially when you're going up against a single foe -- which means that should be the most dangerous fights since obviously that'd be a high CR enemy -- they're the most disappointing fights, because often five of you are getting in shots before it can even react. I think if there are multiple foes or if only one or two characters act before the foes that's not a huge deal, but otherwise I think it might make combat a bit more fun. Or am I worrying about it too much and shouldn't change anything?

Sorry for not having responded to the above post- I'm ok with how it's been run. Single foe battles are weird, I agree. Minions are a welcome addition, if you want to scatter us.

...

I'm gonna slip into an alternate reality until Monday. Bot me as needed.
