Mummy's Mask - Empty Graves [Pathfinder] (Inactive)

Game Master Stiehle

@Eliander
can Someone bring me a bit up to speed how bad this Nakht Shepses really was?

@ GM: as said, I think I am mostly looking for a bag of holding which is worth 2500 gp, but after all is said and done I can probably afford only about 500 gp.
As far as deedds are going, Since I joined we only wandered through the cityof dead if I remmeber correctly. So if I could convince Soumral to visit that Lamia once more, in exchange for a bag of holding? *Just kidding*

Yeah, I'll pick up a sling so I can use my Str to my advantage with a ranged weapon.

@Rediz. Nacht was the jerk that challenged us to a fight to determine who was in charge to try to end the undead menace. He summoned several Psychopomps, including one that had DR/10 Adamantine. We had a LONG series of bad rolls, couldn't hardly hit the thing and only had one weapon that could do decent damage. And because we lost he took over the temple and was terrorizing the people of the town with his monsters supposedly to get rid of the undead. They did at least as much negative as positive.

@Rediz: I assume alchemy works the same as Wizard for copying spells? If so you can try again the next day if you fail a spellcraft check. You can also get Haste and any of the other ones you failed on from Soumral anytime later.

Yes it works the same but I found the following in the rules.

If the check fails, the wizard cannot understand or copy the spell. He cannot attempt to learn or copy that spell again until one week has passed. If the spell was from a scroll, a failed Spellcraft check does not cause the spell to vanish.

Which is why I assumed no second attempts if we want to sell the spellbook here in Wadi. And since I only failed on inconsequential spells I don't see a reason not to sell it now.

Ah, you're right. It is a week. I guess I either misread or misremembered. Still not much of a problem, a small delay. I'd doubt the selling price of the book would vary much place to place.

So for the spell transcribing, I'm thinking about two weeks total between the two of you. Rediz will obviously use the week as Soumral takes a break before trying again on those last two spells.

Details I found after reading the rules are below. The spellbook itself is worth 1,455gp, from what I can tell. Consensus seems to be that the 'spell purchase' part of the spellbook value is what you'd pay a wizard to copy a spell from their book - which is half the transcription cost, per the core rulebook.

OK, I've created the list below, based on the 'claims' I've seen and the stuff you have available to sell. Obviously if anyone wants to claim something, please do! But it'll cut into the party split.

My math comes up with 12k gold and a bit of change, but I'm going to round that up to 2,500gp each - figuring you run across folks who are keen on rewarding the Heroes of Wati what they can, including discounts on goods, straight up rewards, etc.

Magical Wand of Enervation (14 charges) - Claimed by Soumral
Diamond Dust (500gp) - Claimed by Soumral

Silver holy symbol of Pharasma - Claimed by Francis

Elliander will claim one of the potions of CMW. (Amenhep to take the other?)

@Rediz: Are you getting a Bag of Holding?

@Soumral: Do I need to buy another Scroll of Stoneskin (for the one I used), or can you provide that magic protection now?

Looks good. Hadn't thought about that scroll but it's a good one to keep. Never know when a spell like that might be needed!

Soumral has Stoneskin from the spell books, no scroll needed.

@Rediz: Are you getting a Bag of Holding?

Looks like I will only be short a couple of hundred GP short since I need thise to scribe my new formulaes. But if somebody can chip in these I will buy one.

@Rediz: Sure! 300gp enough?

@Rediz: Sure! 300gp enough?

Unfortunately 450 gp but I am sure somebody else can also chip in. And I am of course willing to carry stuff for other people.

Take the rest from Francis's share. He's crafting a wand of CLW but not really needing anything else right now.

Wasn't there some armor and/or weapons that we stashed? Too heavy to carry but worth a good bit of coin?

Anyone else making purchases? Any other claims on the list I put up earlier?

Amulet of Natural Armor +1, 2000gp
Cracked Dusty Rose Prism, 500gp
Traveler’s Any-Tool, 250gp
cold iron arrows, 20, 2gp / 3 lbs
potion of fox's cunning, 300gp

to Rediz: 300gp to help buy Bag of Holding

Total 3352gp

GM West: I've updated Elliander's Paizo profile if that can help. Sent you a PM.

Nope, saving my money for a belt of giant strength.

@West: Thanks for the correction. I probably double added one of the 3rd level spells when I totaled my cost. Aside from the spell coping costs Soumral will only purchase Sleeves of Many Garments (200 gp).

Figuring in what she already had, that leaves her with 1414 gp.

Eliander and Rediz, how about Soumral kicks in 150 for the Bag of Holding, and Eliander can keep 150 of the 300 he was going to give?

Francis is also saving up.... For ???? not sure what.

Was anyone claiming the Ring of Sustenance? If not, Francis would want it. Extra hours of a day for crafting a wand while on the road....

Eliander and Rediz, how about Soumral kicks in 150 for the Bag of Holding, and Eliander can keep 150 of the 300 he was going to give?

I believe Eliander is overspending his own share already, so I am not sure if he can really finance the bag.

But between Francis and Soumral I am sure I can find the neccessary money.

@Francis: The Scimitars where found they day before our second expedition into the city of the deadand I think we sold them already to finance some minor kit improvements for the Fight ith the big baddie.

I haven't done the math on Elliander's purchases yet, but he likely has some personal funds to use, in addition to the 2,500gp you each got.

And don't forget! I'm offering you all the chance to use your imagination in the adventure thread and write up something you might have done to deserve some extra gold or a magic item of some kind (let's cap it at 750gp or so) or even a discount on a more valuable magic item which I might allow to go over that limit - depending on how much your spending.

Maybe you were helping a merchant to repair his shop and found something valuable you returned to them? Perhaps you are approached because you saved someone's daughter or son? It'd be a fun way of looking over the adventure thread all the way back to the beginning and find something that maybe seemed innocuous at the time and expand on it!

The more detailed and compelling your story, the more likely I am to grant your wish - even if it goes over my limit somewhat.

I need some time to get your characters updated and familiarize myself with the next chapter, and I'm taking a week for a vacation starting on Tuesday (I'm bringing that adventure book with me), so we probably won't kick off the new adventure until late August or so. This could provide you with something to do during that time. :)

Yes, I had an additional 110 pp since before. Maybe we need some gold in Tephu for upkeeping etc., so I’m glad to pay 150gp less.
I’m fine with Francis claiming the ring.

The more detailed and compelling your story, the more likely I am to grant your wish - even if it goes over my limit somewhat.

So maybe up to the GM to think about what could be an appropriate gift? :)

Just a heads up I am headed off for a week's vacation starting tomorrow. I will have a computer and an internet connection, but who knows if I'll have the desire to post? If the mood strikes me I will try to do so, but I'm quiet for about nine days or so you'll know why!

Enjoy your vacation, GM West! (I started working last week, so my summer fun is over.)

Thanks for the potion! :)

I know but I must admit I am completely blank and the events in the thread don't really gave me any inspiration, but I will keep thinking while you are on holiday.

I'm kind of in the same boat. Trying to think of something and intending to post.

Working on character sheets - I've got Elliander, Soumral and Francis each donating 150gp to Rediz' Bag of Holding, correct?

Oh also, everyone gets 2,250gp each - since the Ring of Sustenance was claimed by Francis.

Ooh! I did forget to add the spellbook sale to your funds! So that adds 300gp each, which actually puts everyone at 2,550gp.

Thanks for the reminder, Rediz!
