Absolutely sell the magical stuff. I don't even see the need in giving them the MW armor as they probably will not need to worry about the ACP. MW weapons of course will help anyone using it so I think that makes sense.

You should now be able to travel to the ferry w/o issue.

Ok, let me know what we are giving to the guards, I will recalculate

I recommend MW weapons only.

yeah we've got quite a few Master Work weapons don't we. give them to the guards as long as we can. armor too if we have any masterwork armor.

so one vote to give just MW weapons to guards and one vote to give MW weapons and MW armor, any other votes?

we have 6 guards who are warriors, I think four half orcs and two humans. The list of MW items: MW Silver Greatsword, a masterwork heavy steel shield. a masterwork heavy mace, 3 masterwork scale mail, 3 masterwork heavy wooden shield, 3 masterwork light mace, a masterwork dwarven breastplate, a masterwork dagger, plus a MW breastplate if Marthek turns his in for the magic breasplate Cuthalian gave him.

I see no issue here, it is a time honored tradition to pass down unused items to minions and followers. It helps instill their loyalty.

Alana seems to be too engrossed in her studies to take cognizant notice of the questions. Accept her silence as compliance...

believe when I checked they were all humans. 2 to a shift, 3 shifts a day.

I figured out why I thought there were half orcs: we had kept a couple alive in the "hell mouth", I found where Gruk made reference to them in Roll 20, so I went to look for them in game

Wdrozgrúk :Are the two Orcs, Durzub and Yakah, still with us in the RA?

brvheart (GM):No, they got sent to the castle with the provisions for there

the two half orcs are mentioned in game play here. and apparently Gordaz made them weapons :P I think I assumed it was four humans that we intiially hired, but was it six humans? giving us a total of eight guards or was it only four humans originally? Not counting Mortimer and Gorbaz :)

Have them roll lots for them. The first one gets to choose 1 weapon or armor. Then go down the line till they all have either 1 armor or 1 weapon. Then rinse and repeat with the caveat that you have to chose different on the 2nd round ie if one chose armor the first round he has to chose a weapon the 2nd time around and vice versa. Do this until its all gone.

And no loaded dice, knowing fighter types probably got several sets of loaded dice between them.

This is all there is about the guards

guards

So it sounds like a total of 8, 2 orcs and 6 humans.

Cool, yeah, I just had an earworm that I remembered a couple of half orcs from somewhere.

So we still have two opinions, Cuthalian wants to give them a weapon each. Thoron wants to let them 'draw lots' to pick through armor and weapons. Any other opinions? We need someone to break the tie. It's the groups money vs. favor with NPC's.

Edit: Hey brv, for what it's worth, it was a hoot reading through the early roll20 discussions :)

I say give em weapons and armor.

Thanks, we had a colorful group of characters back then:)

LOL, colorful is the word, I had forgotten how much we posted in roll20.

Done. Brv, these are the MW items, please split them up between the 8 guards. Weapons: MW Silver Greatsword, a masterwork heavy mace, 3 masterwork light mace and a masterwork dagger. Armor: 3 masterwork scale mail, a MW breastplate and a masterwork dwarven breastplate. Sheilds: a masterwork heavy steel shield 3 masterwork heavy wooden shield,

I will readjust the 'party mule'

If I translate everything that was said, we go to town afternoon of the second day, unless it takes Silvash longer than the morning to copy spells. If so, we go the morning of the third day. Let Cuthalian order magic for his armor, pick up food supplies for ourselves and the fort then return to the fort. Fast forward until the crafting is over, go back to town and pick up Cuthalians armor (and whatever else anyone ordered) and head back to RA.

Alana I will subtract the 1,000 gp. from Elathras' GP for the amulet of natural armor, is there a specific component he should purchase in town

Turning toward the captain of the guard, Elathras gestures towards the pile of armor and weapons, "We found this stuff, we think you can you. Why don't you split it up like Thoron said?"

Looking toward where Silvash and Alana are working on copying spells, "Silvash said when they are done he will go to town with us, while Alana is working on stuff."

sorry guys my internet was down last night

Alana I will subtract the 1,000 gp. from Elathras' GP for the amulet of natural armor, is there a specific component he should purchase in town

Only whatever you want your cool amulet to look like, the actual "raw material" is unspecified in the rule set (probably on purpose).

Once Alana and Silvash are done copying spells, Elathras approaches Alana, fishing around in his pocket he pulls out one of the bear claws he kept from the red bear they killed. "Hey Alana, I was thinking could we use this bearclaw as part of the amulet?"

Handing her the bear claw, he asks everyone. "Are we ready to go to town? It's about a three hour walk, if we leave now, we can make some purchases and come back tomorrow. Anything unusual we need to order we can pick up on our way back to the cemetery."

Once everyone is ready, Elathras leads them out of the fort on the way to town.

I'm assuming Alana is staying and working on stuff, and that everyone else is going.

"Sure, it is rather grizzly though" ba-da dunk

I need a list of what you are planning on buying. It will take more than a few hours to get as the Ferry has very few resources.

Cool, was planning on picking up a few supplies today for the fort/group and elathras' belt. Then placing an order for 'supplies' and two more wands to take with them to RA.

Items to purchase today: trail rations 7 people, 30 days at the fort = 105 gp. 210 lbs., Items to be picked up when we go to RA 60 trail rations = 210 gp. 420 lbs. and two wands of clw. Total spent: 1,815 gp. Elathras will supliment the extra 83 gp. from his portion.

Do you just want me to give you the list in ooc or place orders and RP the purchases?

Looking confused, Elathras shrugs and apologizes to Alana, "I tried to clean it good. Next time I will use water instead of just giving it a spit bath."

Hefting the bag in one hand and his gisarme in the other, Elathras prepares to leave, "When we get to town, I would like to see if the fire mage is done with my fancy new belt. I figure we can sell the things we found to her or sister Sheila or Shakira or Rasmus. While were at Rasmus Pye's Trading post we can get food rations to bring back here, and order some food to pick up when we go to the cemetary." He thinks for a moment, "We should ask sister Sheila to make a couple healing wands for us as well."

Once everyone is ready, he will begin the long treck to town.

"I need to talk to Sheila to see if she knows what the symbol on the door, who is it for.'

We’ll need a cart or a wagon to bring all of the food back.

We’ll need a cart or a wagon to bring all of the food back.

Ellathras smiles, "We can put what were picking up today in the magical bag. By the time we come back, we can put the rest in the two magical bags." He points at the stables, "but if you want a wagon we can take the ponies to pull it."

granted once we start storing found treasure we will need to figure out where to put the food. Elathras can carry a fair amount in a back pack and we should be able to store even more in 'handy haversacks' what do we have, three or four of them?

So you go into Pye's and you ask for 630 trail rations.

After he picks himself off the floor, he says that will be two weeks to order that much! He has the 30!

Sister Sheila can craft the two wands in two days.

LOL And when I go to Sister Sheila and describe the glyph on the door, does she have any idea what it is?

to Pye "you might think about stocking more inventory

Smiling and nodding as Pye picks himself up off the floor, Elathras nods in agreement, "Throron is probably right, he's smart that way." shrugging, "I would also like to buy a sling and bullets, please."

Paying Sister Sheila from the sale of the item Elathras informs her "We will pick up the wands when we get the food from Pye."

Once finished at the trading post, he picks up his new belt, from The fire mage, Brooke.

Brv will we be able to pick up the supplies in time to get back to the fort before nightfall, or should we stay the evening at the Inn?

I am not sure what you are getting besides the 30 trail rations that would be ready today. He will order the wagon also. He does ask you meet the keelboat when it comes in.

group wise from the trading post, just the 30 days trail rations today,(that will be enough while we are at the fort, and we will leave the rest there) 60 days worth the next time we are in town.

Elathras also purchased a sling and sling bullets. from the cleric they will order the two CLW wands. And Elathras will pick up the belt of giant strength he ordered last time in town.

Not sure if we will actually need a wagon, Elathras was pointing out we had ponies when Cuthalian asked if we need a wagon. When is the keelboat coming in? Can we coincide it with when Alana is done with the crafting and we are back on out way to RA?

IF you don't think we can fit the 60 days trailrations in the two bags of holding, how many should be able to fit? I know they fit weight wise, but each bag has 30 cubit ft. So I was hoping it was enough.

crud, started to think about how much 30 cubit foot is, and it's a large refrigerator, not a 'walk in cooler' how many meals will fit in the two small bags of holding, I may need to rethink this.

Cuthalian inquires as to the best person to see about enchanting his armor. Once Pye points him in the right direction he heads over to speak with the enchanter. (seeking a +2 enhancement on my armor)

I think the person you want to talk to is The fire mage, Brooke.

What do we need to do to get moving?

For his part, Cuthalian visits the fire mage, Brooke, and requests to have his armor enchanted to +2 (basically however much he could get for 4000). If we intend to head back instead of waiting for enchanting, I will buy a standard chain shirt.

Good idea on the chain shirt, it will take a while to enchant the other, we can pick it up when we come back through town. Once you get your elven chain back would you sell the chain shirt to Elathras, I should pick up something for him to 'sleep' in

I'm going to visit the Sister and see if she knows whose symbol was on the door we opened.

The only symbol on the door was the glyph of warding which Thoron already recognized it as such.

I still need a list of who is buying or making what to know how long it will take please.

in discussion:

Potions added to character. I'm not sure I need any magic items currently.

For Elathras:

** spoiler omitted **

I am confused, are you buying the elven chain? Alana is barely high enough to make an amulet of +1. She is not high enough yet for a +2.

Make: asked Alana to make amulet of natural armor + 1 and bag of holding.
Order in town: the trail rations and two 2 wands of cure light wounds
purchase in town: trail rations, sling and sling bullets

Alana cannot make a bag of holding yet. It requires CL of 9.

we found the Elven Chain in RA in one of the ogre bags. He wants a magical bonus added to it. He's buying a regular chain shirt to wear while the other is being worked on.

lol, that simplifies that, Elathras will save his money for level 9 :)

Or pay full price to have Brooke make it.

sadly Elathras doesn't have the cash. actually he does, but he would only be able to afford another small bag.

Realizing there was something screwy about the bag of holding, when Cuthalian goes to Brooke to ask her to make his armor magical, Elathras also asks "Hey Brook, the magical bag works great, could you make me another one?"

is there anything available in this area to make a better armor than I have?

I've got some +3 chainmail. I was just asking if a dwarf like me can get better armor. Seeing as my movement is slow anyway.

Per the rules looks like the best I can have is either chainmail or a breastplate. Looks like its a tossup between the two.

Can you wear heavy armor? The chainmail is the same 'plus to armor' as a breastplate. Which is the best medium armor.

we did give a dwarven MW breastplate to the guards, but no magic, especially not +3

yeah I don't think so, being a cleric. I can't get heavy armor as a feat, just wondering if there's a better base material around.

Elathras answered the question about the chain armor. I will just save my money for the +2 natural armor amulet.

After picking up his Elathras' new belt and ordering wands, bags and Cuthalian's armor enhancement, the group loadeds as many of the food supplies as they can in the bag of holding while Cuthalian put on his chain shirt.

Waiving good by to the guards at the wall, Elathras tells them, "We'll see you in two weeks." He leads the party out of town back to the fort.

I am ready to fast forward the two weeks if everyone else is
