Sorry if I'm a few posts behind... Husband is in surgery today and probably won't be able to post again til late tonight or tomorrow... Again, sorry for any delay - feel free to bot me to keep the action moving...thanks.
Good luck with your husband's surgery. (Also, we are in a lot of games together, huh?)
Good luck, Celyne!
Also, that's the third time the spell failed me -_-
Remind me not to try subtle trickery in the future - I suppose I'm not very good at it so if I try to memorize or learn such spells at level-up, remind me to re-evaluate my choices.
Leave that subtlety to bards! Just let the BLOODRAGE flow!
I mean, the Mystic Focus flow. (No wait, that's an archetype and the feature isn't that great.)
I mean, the...normal Magus stuff flow.
You mean...I should give in to the hate?
Indeed, good luck! Here's hoping it is nothing too serious.
If you need some time, you could just auto-fail that last Fort save I posted.
Good luck with your husband's surgery. (Also, we are in a lot of games together, huh?)
Statistically speaking, this could be said of everyone on the boards with Celyne. ;)
"We are pretty banged up, we should probably regroup and ask the kobolds what they know of this lot." Zokon is looking rather ragged.

A lucky mite toe on a string.
A well-worn and soiled bag containing: 482 sp, 374 gp, 20 pp
A personal journal written in a spidery elven script (Undercommon, 1, 2). At the back of the journal is folded up bit of parchment marked with eldritch runes.
2 bushels of moon radishes.
Note: you can also obtain your bank items either from Tartuk's cave lair or if the item is metal or stone from the remains of one of the gelatinous cubes. In fact, you can apply treasure gained from the above to your bank before deciding (i.e. instead of getting coins or some or all of the items above you can immediately bank it and find the item you want to purchase in the horde).
Also want to note: You have or are very close to completing multiple ReQuests and Wanted Posters so you might want to take a look at them again on the campaign info page.
There, that should give everyone enough to do for about the next week.
G'Night ;)
so... RPGGGM - it's been a REALLY long time since we leveled, and we just finished a MAJOR encounter... are we at least getting close?
;) Soon. You know you get XP for completing requests and side adventures too....
My computer just died so I may have fun/do less detailed posts til I can type properly again.

It didn't seem fair though when I knew what the DCs were in advance.
GUYS:
Time for a loot discussion.
#1: GGGM: Any chance that the Light Shields could be cut down into buckler shields? If they are bucklers then Zokon and Celyne can both use them while using archery. As it stands we have no light/heavy shield users in the party. Scarlet and Illthir both use two hands for weapons, and Alia needs to keep a hand free for casting. Zokon could use one but would have to take the time to don it after putting his bow down, and the same applies to Celyne.
#2: Celyne: You said you wanted the masterwork quarterstaff. It is worth pointing out that I believe you have a masterwork morning star, and that will do more damage than the staff, and only requires one hand to use instead of two. You could use a shield while carrying the morning star. Edit: Looking back, you never did respond when I asked you if you wanted one of those.
#3: Zokon: Would you want the Mwk Greatsword? You won't be able to use a buckler with it, but it will do a lot more damage than the rapier (even though it's not magical). Or Illthir might want it, though she does have a masterwork Lucerne Hammer already.
#4: I'm going to go ahead and assume that the other items will be successfully identified by someone. So the boots of elvenkind add to acrobatics. Even though Zokon has the biggest share of loot right now, it would make sense to me if he got them as he actually has sneak attack dice. Unless anyone has a better idea.
#5: Items to be banked / sold
587.5 gp +1 small studded leather
437.5 gp small mw studded leather armor (x5),
60 gp small leather armor (x12),
945 gp small mw scimitars (x6),

Don't know what to do with these:

Magical Stuff (who wants it?)
+1 light steel shield
+1 light steel shield
dust of illusion 2 doses
Oil of greater magic weapon 3 doses
+1 flaming crossbow bolts (don't know how many)
boots of elvenkind
scroll of fly 2 uses on one scroll
My brief thoughts on the loot!
@Flaming Crossbow Bolts - There's eleven of them, the amount was hidden in the spoiler.
@Illthir - I actually considered both sword and board and greatsword for her when I built her, but in the end reach weaponry seemed like the most fun. I think I'll keep it this way for now.
Also in general I think she is among the most well equipped seeing as she was made with full wealth by level : )
@Divination Sticks - Aren't stuff like this focus for some spells? Might be worth to hang on to if anyone is thinking about getting any Divinations.
@Wedding Gown - This seems like oddly specific loot. Maybe we should hang on to it just in case?
---
General note! I'm on the road atm but I'll be back home by the evening - I'll have enough peace of mind to make an IC post by then!
The oil of magic weapon and the boots of elvenkind are interesting.
But uh, I'll probably let Alia take first crack at the boots first.
Next time there will be some big red stompin' boots of dwarvenkind.
#1: GGGM: Any chance that the Light Shields could be cut down into buckler shields?
Steel shields are different enough from bucklers that I'm going to say no.
Nothing there for me... Boots are probably an Alia thing, I'm maxxed in Dex so i'll have a good bonus anyway.
There is no such thing as too much acrobatics.
... When she was ready and done she simply took a few steps closer to the party and casually asked "Where are we going next?"
A good point. You have come to the end of the first leg of your explorations, with the winding (light blue) path (on the Regional Map) back, and through a horde of brigands, yet to take.
There are other concerns as well. Your fangberries (for the hermit Bokken) are getting soft with age. You have accomplished a couple of other missions for which there are rewards you can only claim in more civilized lands. Your discovery of the defiled forest cave/temple of Erastil. There is a strange fey amnesiac waiting outside this very cave. The fact that Sir Didymus didn't get to hang his head over the side of a mine cart as it raced along. Your promise to Davik Nettle's ghost. Etc....
And (just to get this out of the way now rather than the middle of next week) you all made it to 4th level.
yay!!!!
woo!
Also the reward for settling the Sootscales has grown with time (and your levels). You don't have to go directly to Restov to contact the Magister, you can do it via courier from Oleg's
Looks like Numalar is taking that first level of barbarian now to get 7 hp this level. ;)

Is the minimum for me 3 HP or 4 (+CON)?
Edit: Looked it up... it's 4.
We could explore this hex before leaving.
Numalar wants to load up on supplies for crafting items. If we can do this at Oleg's, great, but if going to Restov would be needed for that I'd rather take the time. I've had the feat for a whole level and haven't been able to do anything with it.

Remember you get at least half of the die in HP, rounded up. So you'll get 5 HP this level, not 3.
I assume our level ups don't kick in until we rest for the night?

Mm : )

We are in a weird sort of pseudo-downtime-ish place here. It is sort of why I kind of wanted to wait to level up until the group had dealt with the mountain o' stuff (and it is a mountain if you didn't notice you didn't look hard enough) I just threw at you, but I didn't want to leave it for the middle of the week either when folks might be too busy, so yeah. I'd say use whatever easily renewable healing you have on Numalar and Zokon and then rest and then level up.
I'll try and get leveling done tomorrow.(I did not expect it until the 48 page discussion milestone...or did I misremember the math and it was 15/30/45? :) )
Regarding loot:
It's Boots of Elvenkind ^_^ as in Elf!
That said, yeah, I've been consistently using acrobatics and would appreciate them.
While Zokon does have Sneak, he's the bow-user...it could make sense to give it to him, but I'd also be more capable of getting into flanking positions so they wouldn't be wasted on me for combat potential, either.
Plus, I want to try and complete the Elvenkind set...cloak, boots, etc - I'm very curious about the set bonus it gives *grin*
Regarding the miscellaneous():
A rather explicit love poem to an unnamed woman signed F.A.
- I would say either return it to, or tease Fan Auric with it.
A metal plate bearing the inscription: "To the Fairest."
- Carry it along, take a closer look...does it seem like a plaque? Was it attached to something? Something attached to it? Metal plates are usually preferred for those purposes...
A lucky mite toe on a string.
- That's Mikmeks share of the treasure! He did help Celyne by making that Strenght Check! Plus he can use all the luck he can get, being the tribes hero and champion...
Lots of other stuff: Much of it is going to bank, I suppose. That said, I can already make bucklers...I just need another level(to 5) before I can magic them up. But if we want those for Celyne and Zokon, just say a word. I can retrieve some raw materials from the bank, certainly they had all kind of stuff in that pile...
Also, I'm being lazy, but Numalar, you're our book-keeper...could you make one post with the grand total? Maybe thrown in with the individual claim-sums so no extra page is needed opened? I feel that would help judge the validity and options of bank-withdrawal-claims.

Okay, let's see...
I'm assuming that Alia wants the boots of elvenkind. The crossbow bolts are being claimed, and the scroll of fly we should definitely keep. But assuming everything else is being sold:
FROM TODAY:
Items to sell/bank: 2755 gp (if Celyne takes the quarterstaff this is only 2455 gp)
Coin/Valuables: 4915.3
Sell value of unclaimed magic stuff: 3559 gp
dust of illusion 2 doses 1200 gp
Oil of greater magic weapon 3 doses 1200 gp
Total from now: 11229.3 gp !!!
FROM EXISTING LOOT:
Coin/Valuables: 2326.87 gp
Goods to be sold off: 243.5 gp
'Store Credit' at Oleg's: 52.6 gp
Current Bank: 1583.5 gp
Total cash, etc. that we already had: 4206.47
GRAND TOTAL: 15435.77
AVAILABLE FROM BANK RIGHT NOW: 12812.8 gp
EXISTING CLAIMS:
Celyne: 482 gp (possibly + quarterstaff 600 gp)
Numalar: 493 gp (including 'Mock Armor' from bank 90 gp)
Zokon: 3909 gp (plans to sell the +1 rapier when we are able)
Alia: 4184 gp (including boots of elvenkind 2500 gp)
Scarlet: 1803 gp
Illthir: ? 3000 gp (WBL for 3rd level?)
TOTAL CLAIMS (including Illthir): 13871 gp
People who want to buy things are welcome to do so as long as it is understood that the people who are behind in goods should get to pick first. The total value of stuff that people pull from the pile is tracked for this reason.
But we aren't tracking consumable items since A) otherwise once they're used up the character's wealth goes down, and B) it takes less paperwork. If consumable items get sold off the cash goes into the general pool as well.
Right now Celyne and I are behind because as full casters most of the treasure we tend to find isn't that useful for us.

OK, guys, here's our latest edition of:
A few suggestions for people to draw from the bank. I am assuming right now that when we hit 5th level Alia will start magicking up weapons and armor like crazy, so I'll stick to masterwork stuff for now:
You are getting pretty far behind. I'm not really sure where you plan to go with your character but I would suggest:
* Masterwork Darkwood Buckler Shield 205 gp. Can be worn while shooting the crossbow. Only weighs 2.5 pounds because your STR is only 10.
* Mithral Chain Shirt 1100 gp. Even when your CHA goes up to 22 you will still get full benefit from your CHA-to-AC revelation. Unless you were planning on holding out for a Mithral Breastplate which would be 4200 gp.
* Masterwork Darkwood Light Crossbow 375 gp. Only weighs 2 pounds.
Aside from that you could put some $ aside from Numalar to make stuff.
you are doing pretty good but you might as well ask for:
* Masterwork Darkwood Buckler Shield 205 gp. Can be worn while shooting the longbow. Alia can enchant it later.
You have lots of masterwork weapons but you are falling behind the other martials.
* Mithral Chain Shirt 1100 gp.
I'm not going to worry about Alia right now because I think she has a good idea of what she wants and she is also in the cash lead. I don't know Illthir's character well enough to know what she wants yet but I'll have a look.
Numalar would probably want:
* Small Masterwork Darkwood Light Crossbow 355 gp. Only weighs 1 pound. Good to save on weight.
We have thousands of gaol spare why are we looking at just masterwork options?
Hand to hand fighters rely on their weapons.
Alia and Scarlet need magical weapons.. If I remember rightly due to RP Alia will only use stuff she has made.. no idea how to get around that.. if not we need to get her magic stuff! Tm.
Zokon could use a bow +1 with the 1kgp enchant that caters to all strength bonuses.
I'll need a mithral chain shirt eventually...
Scarlet will probably need better armour soon as well ..maybe mithral breastplate.
Spellcasters are hard to help.. saves boosters.
Maybe some utility items like ring of sustenance for that less sleep needed thing.
Any-tool
Cha boost item for talky times.

We have thousands of gaol spare why are we looking at just masterwork options?
We can, of course, get those now. The question is: is it worth it to get that stuff now or wait until we can craft them for half price?
A vial of oil of magic weapon costs only 50 gp.
The ring of sustenance is a good idea and will be good for Numalar once he starts crafting as it allows me to craft 500 gp worth of stuff per day while travelling instead of 250 gp. Same for Alia once she starts making magic weapons. Rings in general we can't make until 9th level at least.
Numalar can make a headband of alluring charisma or a belt of giant strength as it stands. I can make a cloak of resistance. I didn't include those things because right now I am talking about stuff to get immediately from the bank.
Illthir has a traveller's any-tool but we can always get more. I think we wanted a skeleton key as well?
I do have a bunch of things I want to make for myself.
With the total stuff we have right now, the total claims plus the amount we could potentially get from the bank we are looking at a total of 26683.8 gp. Divide that six ways and you get 4447.3 gp. Theoretically that is the amount everyone should be at wealth-wise.
Crafting changes the equation a fair bit though. We basically double our money if we wait for things to get crafted, as long as they are things we can make.
@Illthir possessions - Mkay. Technically she only has about ~2700gp worth of stuff, due to some of it being "free" consumables :P
I can do a better tally come the weekend.
@Illthir wants - A Circlet of Persuasion eventually. Really handy to have when you are substituting stuff for charisma, like skills trough versatile performance.
A bit expensive though so maybe a bit into the future : )
Also come summer she'll probably want a horse. Skiing gets so bloody hard on bare ground ... :P
@Illthir have - Scribe Scroll. If someone knows the Magic Weapon spell we can work together to build a small stockpile of scrolls (a bit cheaper then the oil if a bit harder to use).
Or any other scrolls we feel like!
Oh yeah, I want a mithral chain shirt. I'm almost at the point where it's time to consider magic weapons, as well.
Potions of Cure X Wounds will be useful as well.
(Thats 7 HP for 30 total.)
+1 Fortitude, +1 Will
+1 BaB
+1 Str
+0 Level 2 Spell Slots(+1 Bonus Spell Slot from Int)
Fortify Bond(+4 Hardness/HP for Estoc, -1 Arcane Pool per day)
+2 Spells: Frigid Touch, Invisibility
Skills(2+3(Int)):
+1 Perception
+1 Knowledge(Nature)
+1 Stealth
+1 Acrobatics
+1 Spellcraft
Background Skills(2):
+1 Knowledge(History)
+1 Knowledge(Geography)
Also, @Magical weapons: Due to the class feature from 3rd Level, my blade would, theoretically, be +1 all the time - but no situation took place yet where it would have made sense for it to awaken.
Regardless, I can spend a point from my Arcane Pool to give it +1 Enhancement for 2 Minutes, so it's not much of a problem.
And yes, I only want to use (arms and armor)-stuff I craft myself. So even if the boots of Elvenkind put me ahead, I should probably get working on some Masterwork Chainshirt soon -_-
So yeah, raw materials for that would be appreciated(at Level 7, I can upgrade to a Mithral Breast Plate(agile) so going for/waiting for Special Material now is probably overkill.)
But yeah, if we can wait until Level 5 with the magic armor+weapon stuff, I can set you guys up pretty nicely.
Also, @Magical weapons: Due to the class feature from 3rd Level, my blade would, theoretically, be +1 all the time - but no situation took place yet where it would have made sense for it to awaken.
There is a fairly obvious one on the horizon.... but if you decide to do it in the meantime my heart would not be broken. Sandbox!
Hey, I said I wanted to wait :) No worries. It's ROLE-play, after all, not ROLL-play. If there had been a situation where that +1 would have made a serious difference...*shrug*
Plus it seems like a more rapid power increase, as it will turn to +2 on Level 5, which also happens to be when the Arcane Pool Bonus goes from +1 to +2...meaning if I power it up I'll have a +4 weapon at Level 5. Yay :)
As said, not in a hurry ^_^
as a side note... to Numalar... Celyne DID take one of the MW morningstars... it's on her profile under the equipment spoiler... so she'll pass on the MW QS
