Razor Coast Texas Style!

Game Master brvheart

Have to catch him before he heads to NTRPGCon.

I think I have confused myself, we wanted two rods, the wizard has agreed to two rods and some cash at the completion of the job, is that right?

He has agreed to upgrade the one rod for market price now and the other upon completion plus gold, yes.

nice

Sounds great.

Seems to be a fly in the buttermilk.

So let's go for it. At least Leialoha gets the selective rod for his 4-5th level spells, and he can pick something else in place of the maximize. Or vice versa, not sure which you want more Leialoha, maximize lesser or the other one. Either way let's just do it.

I'm confused. Does that mean we've accepted or not?

I am a bit confused also. He left, do you guys want to accept or not? My vote is go for it. Leialoha gets one rod at market (instead of the 20% markup from Samuel!) And can get something else with the rest of the money and we can get the other rod later or as part of the reward if we don't find one before then.

I am fairly certain Leialoha would share the information he has about Sorten. This might have worked had not two of you rolled nat 20's! And that worm was really juicy!

Steve will just have to find another group of adventures that are a lot more green around the gills.

He can still get them done, but will have to ship the rod up to Bard's Gate. Will take an additional two weeks on top of the 15 days.

Now, given what you now know you still want to accept the deal. He will provide the rod.

Probably not. Leiahola may want to reconsider purchases.

Managed a quick look at Fasb. Got Brvheart's notes so far and looking at roles on the ship. I think we might need more crew to run it, but will try and do some on it tomorrow or Saturday.

Wands, potions, scrolls, armor, weapons and even wondrous items are fairly easy to come by. Rods and staves, not so much. I had to really dig to find someone who could make them in a very short time frame AND be motivated to do so. It was going to cost Kayden a 25,000 GP diamond for a full wish.

You will need a gunny at minimum. Someone who specializes in cannons. Should not be too hard to find in Port Shaw. Someone needs to be fire control officer also out of the six of you. Not glamourous, but very important! Ivar or Oro-tu for First mate?

I was thinking potentially Jenkie for Fire control. Need to properly look at the roles. Possibly swapping Montgomery to Navigator, but we'll see.

Aurora still has to finish leveling up to 8th. She has been busy with taking care of her uncle here. Takes her 5 times as long to level a character anyway. She thinks about it. It is mostly done in HeroLab so hopefully won't be too long.

So Leialoha, waiting on you. I am ok with tentatively accepting the job for one rod (that you are paying for) and we can see about whether what he says is true after the razor coast stuff is done, or we can skip it, but it's your call.

If you agree to do it you'll want to pick something else since you can only get one rod, if you want to not accept it as Silas said above, then you'll want to pick entirely different gear. Then we will be ready to go on that side adventure.

Ok guys we really need to move forward here. I just got a PM from Beth. She may be returning. She is just concerned about the number of divine casters already.

Hi every one. After some rough family time, I am back on the boards and ready to join the game again.

I've seen you are back in port, so I guess it's easy for me to move back in with you.

@Brvheart: should I update Beth character anyhow ? She is still level 6.

Welcome back) Yes, level her up to level 8. I might talk to Kara about swapping out Mercedeh for Aurora. Otherwise Gerald is going to make another character.

welcome back!!!

Welcome back. We seem to have another ship :)

Neat! Can I steer it?

And thanks for the welcome every one.

Edit rolling for HP: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 4) = 12

Guys,

I know Gerald was thinking he could switch the druid with Beth back, or Aurora switching for Mercedes, since we'd have 3 divine casters.

But really, with Beth having cleric spells, gerald having druid spells, and aurora having backup cleric spells and fighting/raging most of the time, I don't really see an issue if you guys want to just stay as is.

Druid and Cleric have enough differences in spell lists etc that both would be handy to have, and more healing never hurt anyone lol. Of course, I am ok with switching it up if either Gerald or Kara want to.

I'm fine with whatever the group wants. I am brand new in the character, so if I need to swap it for a different role, that's not a problem at all. I'm easy...just let me know what everyone thinks.

You seem to have a decent Profession Sailor even without the two level bump. She is a warship, The Thunderstrike. Has 5 cannons so far.

I don't mind having three divine casters, my remark was more that I did not want to step on anyone's toes. Beth is always trying to be more a control/buffing cleric than a fighter, even if she can handle herself. So I'm good with that. If we have multiple cleric, it also lets each of us share the buffing of the party and have time for different things.

Also, I realized you had found a +1 returning net. If no one claims that, I would like to have it.

I will finish to update Beth tonight or tomorrow.

Greg needs to verify but I'm pretty sure he'd let you upgrade to 8th level wealth level? You are still at the 6th level wealth and would need a boost to get there. The way we did loot this last time was just tally up the total sale value of everything, divide it, and everyone used their 'share' to claim stuff at the resale price, or could keep the gold and buy something else with it. I'm sure Greg would let you take the net, but since it's already been divided and 'sold' you'd have to contribute the 'resale price' for the net to keep the books balanced.

I'm good either way. The net is just something different I can use to contribute to the fights.

For Greg info: before leaving, I was close to level 7 and slightly above level 7 in WBL. so adding the Net would make me around 34500, just above WBL.

haven't been able to post as much today, wecome back Beth, I've heard good things:)

I am not all that concerned with being over WBL. Just don't want everyone too far below it.

Kara has elected to stay with Aurora so Gerald can stay with the urban druid or bring in something else.

I still like the Druid idea, if everyone is cool with me playing her. I'll probably shift around a few of my spells since I don't need to heal as much now. And I might swap an item or two as well.

Excellent. I think the three divine casters will compliment each other nicely. Aurora is more of a fighter/cleric anyway haha.

Gerald you probably know but shouldn't you have wild shape at 8th level? Didn't see it on your sheet.

she and Ivar are still at seven right?

Correct, but not by much and Gerald.

Oh duh, forgot she and Ivar were at 7th still.

I missed your question here, Oru-Tu, but the others have already responded. I'll be getting it very soon if I live through the first few fights, lol!

staying alive is easy, no one comes close to dying or being swallowed by sharks or anything like that...

Now it was an epic fight Ivar! But I knew you could pull through:)

OK, let Beth take the net as is and let the rest of the party keep the gold. Guys, I am not a slave to WBL. I just want to make sure that you have enough to meet the challenges you will face:)

Thanks, then Beth is updated and good to go.

We had two options just on last page of discussion, but I think we're getting a side quest.

I have a couple or things lined up. Capt Mercy is here to talk about one of them in Game Play. Planned on a mini adventure first.

You are going to need a lot more cannons for the first one, but can do the second while doing what Capt Mercy has planned.

Looking at officer roles. Montgomery would be great as Helmsman if such a role existed. But no know geography or survival causes issues for Navigator. It would be great if Fasb had any reference sheets as having to hunt down what skills cover what bits.

Does Urissa have no ranks in heal? Can't see any on the sheet, but wanted to check.
