Mystery of the Keepers (Inactive)

Game Master DireMerc

Erik has a ring of protection but the cloak or amulet would be valuable.

you should take the cloak Erik... I'd like it but my saves are better than yours so you should get it. I'm good with the amulet as my share.

Ok. I'll take the cloak. What else needs dividing?

2 potions, the amulet and the ring. If Bleyz takes 1 of the permanent items, I'll take the other.

when your all set just post saying you go to the pathfinder lodge to see Sazed.

Ok Erik gets the cloak, Bleyz the amulet, how about Devhyn gets the ring? Might save his life.

Go ahead and take the ring.

I consider the stuff I'm breaking (the wand, undead-related spells) to be my loot.

I think we should sell the metamagic rod. We can either divide the proceeds or use them to pay for the enchantment for Erik's sword.

No, I really think you should have it as your quite a bit squishier than me.

Btw, are we going to be levelling up?

Okay, if you wish, I will take it.

Is everyone okay with selling the rod to pay for Erik's weapon upgrade?

Not right away, I'm going to be using an adventure path I found as the next section of this adventure and it begins at level 6 so you're right were you should be atm.

I'm also going to sell my greatsword (25gp).

Is it possible to pay someone to tell me about Splendarglar, as I don't think we ever explained what it does?

Hmm do you remember were you got it?

Feb 24th real time.

Around the gelatinous cube I think.

I may have missed it as other things were happening on real life...

This +1 battleaxe sheds blue light like a torch and bears the inscription “Splendarglar" or Glintaxe in dwarven.

Found floating in the gelatinous cube with the bones of a dwarf good call.

Is that everything it does? If so I'm leaning towards selling it, unless someone else has a better idea?

Is everyone okay with selling the rod to pay for Erik's weapon upgrade?

That's fine by me.

I bought a light crossbow and some bolts (no hanging around uselessly in a ranged combat scenario, I can actually contribute beyond looking pretty). I'll have a look at my potions/scrolls/wands and decide if I need to get something else.

Yes that is all it does

I make a +1 battle axe cost 2310 gp so can sell for half. Is that right?

Yep

Great. With Devyhn's contribution I'm up to nearly 5000 gp.

The rod is worth 12,000, selling for half at 6,000. Add that to your total as well, Erik.

any chance of snagging 700 gp? I have 100 gp currently and want to buy a belt of tumbling (800 gp). If not, don't worry about it... but it would be nice to have.

I'm still a couple of thousand away from a sword upgrade. I have the rod of cancellation still, but I think that could be very useful so don't want to sell it.

I can sub you a thousand or so.

Thanks for the offer Achren. However, I don't think spending all our gold on a sword upgrade is necessarily the best plan.

So, we've got nearly 11,000gp between Devyhn's sales and the spare loot I've sold off.

I was thinking about a composite longbow. What does the party need?

We need another CLW wand. Our current wand has one charge left.

I have a wand of cure light wounds

I'm always willing to accept you saying that you spend one spell a day to recharge that staff of healing

I can do that. Is 10 charges the maximum, or was that just the number of charges it had when it was given to us?

10 maximum

So, any of the +4 enhancement buffs any party members would like Lyall to have on hand?

He's got some free 2nd level slots.

I'm looking at getting hold of restoration.
Since none of us are high enough level, and only Devhyn has it on his spell list, the best way to get hold of it is to get a wand.
A fully charged wand would be too expensive at 21000gp, but what if we get a partially charged wand with say 5 charges?, that would cost us 2100gp. I can't see us needing more than that.

or maybe some scrolls?

Arkon has lesser restoration memorised and can devote more slots if needed.

I have a question, how'd you get Arcane Strike on a Druid, Arkon?

Trait that gives me an spell like ability Arcane spell - cantrip. (Wendifa Apprentice).

This qualifies for the needing arcane spell casting part and the CL for the spell is the same as my level or I can just use my standard cl to calculate the increase in damage as CL rises.

It's detailed in the forums that SLA's qualify for arcane strike.

I actually hadn't notice it when I checked before.

By RAW what he says is correct SLA's count as arcane spells by default unless they can only be divine in which case they are divine. This is a ruling I dislike mainly because people use it meet the requirements for things they would need to be a caster for like this. Arcane strike is not a big deal really if it was a prestige class like mythic theurge you were using a spell like ability to get into I would Veto it but so long as it's just arcane strike I'm ok with it even thought I personally don't like it.

Just to make sure you know, in my allosaurus wildshape this means if I use arcane strike which is a swift action, and then charge -> Pounce I get 5 attacks and EACH attack has +2 Damage and counts as magical. With power attack I get -2 TH and +4 Damage on each attack.

So each of the 5 attacks would get +6 Damage.

I can then get pummelled to death as my ac is lower but that's beside the point.

I figure your used to scaryness with Achren flying around but..

Hmm... I'll just go with bull's strength to boost that a little bit more then, shall I? :P

Fair enough just lookout for my boss fights I get a little creative myself sometimes :)

I'm gonna relax things a bit for a while thought that last boss fight was a bit much lol. I made a monk/rogue/assassin who used crane style to defend while studying his target. When he didn't have time to study he would just do a flurry of blows making his first attack a stunning fist.

That and he had a flying necromancer as support.

Ah good times

I read that fight i saw what you did to the inquisitor.. also crane style h as been nerfed now only gives situational ac bonus not miss 1 attack.
And bulls strength just seems useful or something to keep yourself out of danger.

Hmm, yes they did change it...I wasn't aware of that...that's too bad it was one of my favorite things for the monk.

High ac monks with stunning fist and sneak attack... bleh...

They overnerfed it so hard that it broke the rest of the Crane chain. :P

or maybe some scrolls?

I considered scrolls, but you have to be high enough level to cast that level of spell and have it on your spell list to be able to cast it without failure. Devhyn has it on his spell list, but is not high enough level (in fact none of us are), and Akron does not even have it on his spell list.

True that... guess we'll have to keep Devyhn alive.

Cos everyone else has rolled their hp's rather than taken half plus one

HP's: 5d8 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 7, 5) = 25

and I get exactly the same...

Sorry, got caught with offline life.

Have we finished a shopping list?

I got a fair load of Knowledge skills and I imagine others have them too, any skill checks we might make to know extra things about the city before heading out?

History can reveal some information about the city, I'd also accept geography or local for info on the island.
