Miron would be happy to lend Drazh the balance. It's logical to properly equip our frontliners after all, and it's not like he hasn't gotten some good equipment himself lately.
Don't worry Drazh there's a solid gap between book one and two.
I'm also glad to pitch in. Next on my purchase list is a wand of lesser restoration, but so far it's not available in Sandpoint.
I'm not in a rush to go shopping. When Miron does buy stuff, it'll likely be attribute boosting items.
I'm away for the weekend so few if any posts from me but we will see what happens.
My sincere apologies for leaving in the middle of battle, but I am currently moving, and my posting is going to be spotty between now and the 15th. Packing up the truck tomorrow morning (well, later this morning), and should be in Utah and able to post again consistently (hopefully) around then.
Please bot me as needed, and sorry again... might be able to post in the interim, but just not sure when, and can't guarantee it.

No problem, thanks for the heads up.

Moving is fun! And horrible!
Good luck!

Oooh! Enjoy your new home!
And no worries! Take your time.
Welcome to level 4 and the end of book one.
We're going to have three weeks downtime so feel free to craft, scribe, make profession rolls. Just let me know what you are up to.

Hope this posts. Lost it the first time due to pages not loading.
Lvl4!
Constable Cavalier Dip
HP: +9
Skill Points: +4
Stats: +1 Wis (16)
Saves: +2 Fort
BaB: +1
Order of the Guard (At the start of each day, an order of the guard cavalier must declare a person or object (including an easily defined group of objects, such as a series of chests or a collection of books) that he is dedicated to protecting that day, typically the subject he has been hired to protect; the selected item is known as the cavalier’s ward. Whenever the cavalier issues a challenge, he receives a +1 morale bonus to AC against the target of his challenge so long as the cavalier is physically located between his ward and the target. This bonus increases by 1 for every 4 levels the cavalier possesses.
Skills: An order of the guard cavalier adds Knowledge (geography) and Perception to his list of class skills. Additionally, an order of the guard cavalier receives a bonus on Knowledge (nobility) checks equal to 1/2 his cavalier level (minimum +1).)
Feats: Heavy Armor Proficiency, Improved Unarmed Strike, Tactician (cooperative crafting)
For downtime, Drazh will spend 10 days making his Mithril Fullplate. I’ve got a story for it that I’m itching to write...really makes me wish I had a computer. After that he will probably rest for several days, and with GM approval, be deputized as a Sandpoint Constable. To help explain the class dip. As he was already working for free to provide arms to the watch, it seems like a logical thing to do.
—————
For crafting the armor. Drazh will take 10 each day. So 10 + 13 (craft) + 2 (Masterwork Tools) + 2 (Assist) = 27.

Archetype bonus spell known (detect thoughts)
2nd level spell known (lesser restoration (but see question below))
GM, is there another chance to acquire a wand of lesser restoration? If I can, I'll instead take Silence as my 2nd level spell known.
You are able to find a wand of lesser restoration for sale.

Can I just say how much I'm enjoying this game? We got through a whole book in less than 3 months. That's faster than many live games. Great work GM in glossing over the less important events and propelling us forward, and great job everyone on writing entertaining posts!
The pace in this pbp is really fast, and with a high quality of posts. I'm very happy with it as well.
@Drazh
Don't forget that Miron had no problem in lending the balance to Drazh.

You're welcome! And I thought the piece was suitably saga-like. :)
It also reminds me that I really need to tot up how much cash Miron actually has. I've notions about eventually buying stat boosting items, mainly for Wis and Dex. But they won't come cheap! I'm not as pushed about other gear since Miron has been accumulating some very decent stuff from loot.
@ GM: Can we get a value for the hunk of obsidian and silk sheets please?
@ Players: Last call on the loot list, guys! Anyone else want something before it's sold?
I'm good.
The massive helmet is down as worth 300, correcting it to 3000g.
Credit's got to go to the players too. With a different group we would not be doing this kind of pace. Thanks to everyone for playing.
I know pushing things isn't perfect. If it's a choice of going through a door A or B I just go with the first player indicating a choice... I'm in a bunch of games where we discuss it. It's great for everyone to have a say but it can take days in some games for everyone to pipe up. On more significant decisions I'll ease off to let the group discuss.
When we have the adventure path done (which will still take a while) I'm half thinking following it up with Shattered Star and after that Return of the Runelords... but that's some time away.
@Ferocia Hunk of obsidian and silk sheets. Nothing in the books for it but let's say 200gp to sell total.
@Drazh I'm not handling the loot but I think Ferocia is sorting something out.
Got it!
Looks like everyone gets 2,217 gp, 2 sp each.
Ooooh! I've never had a chance to play Shattered Star... Haha.
@Kevin, what has become of Tsuto and Nualia? Are they still awaiting trial? And did Nualia give up any additional information?
Actually, I just recalled that we still have her notes.
@Ferocia, is that since the campaign began or just the most recent loot split? Just to make sure I'm not missing something.
Just the most recent split from selling what's on the loot list.
Going back over the thread, I think these are the loot splits so far:
1,392.50
713.68
2,217.2
Does that look right?
GM, is the wand of lesser restoration a cleric wand (4,000 gp) or the paladin version (750 gp)? Complete cheese, I know, but I gotta ask!
@Miron They've been shipped off to Magnimar for trial. Nualia offers no knew information. Indeed anyone who seeks her out will be rewarded with only spite and rage.
@Anneka Cleric wand.
Cheers Kevin.
Will post tomorrow.

930 gold from Miron (just did the math). Will need to pay it back from next time we get to sell.
For RP purposes, Drazh worked himself near to death. The gold owed could quite well have been the cost of magical healing, lodging, and possibly some repairs to the forge he rented. If Miron covered the above, it would explain Drazh’s debt in relation to the story.
Level 4 Wizard
+1 Intelligence -> 20
+1 BAB
+6 HP -> 30
+1 Will
Skills (Because my Intelligence bonus increased, I have gained three "retroactive" skill points to add):
+1 rank to all ranked skills
+1 to Knowledge (Local) as a new skill
+2 to Fly as a new skill
New spells: aggressive thundercloud and rope trick
Regarding Lyrie's spellbook: Kevin, I just lost my post where I rolled to learn each spell. I accidentally closed the tab. With DCs of 16 and 17 with my Spellcraft skill at +12 and three weeks to learn, I did learn all of the spells. However, I'd already marked them on my character sheet, and I'm not sure I can remember which spells were already in Marten's spellbook vs. which ones are new to him, so I can't recreate the post with all of the die rolls. I'm really sorry.
Finally, during the downtime, Marten will craft three scrolls: knock, rope trick, and spider climb
No worries. Do you remember the total cost for scribing them into your spellbook?
I just edited my last post, because Drazh gave me a good idea.
No worries. Do you remember the total cost for scribing them into your spellbook?
I remember that there were three 1st level spells that I hadn't learned, so that's 30 gold to scribe them. I don't remember how many 2nd level spells I scribed, only that it was most of them. Reviewing the list of 2nd level spells, I can only remember having shatter from character creation, so I'll pay the cost of the other six 2nd level spells at 240 gold, which makes 270 gold total.
Seems reasonable
Made it to my new place; still have to unpack, but should be back to normal tomorrow, and I will level Azalia then. :)
Good stuff!
Azalia leveling:
HP +5 (half plus one, correct?)
Gained Canny Observer rogue talent
+1 Dex
+1 BAB
+2 spells (invisibility, web)
+9 skill points (bluff, diplomacy, intimidate, perception, disable device, sense motive, sleight of hand, stealth, acrobatics)

Lvl 5!
Constable Cavalier (1) Fortune Finder Ranger (4)
Adaptable Study
* At 4th level, a fortune-finder can adapt and orient himself to new environments and new enemies. He gains a +1 bonus on initiative checks and Knowledge (geography), Perception, Stealth, and Survival checks whenever he is in a terrain he hasn’t selected as one of his favored terrains. He leaves no trail and can’t be tracked in any such terrain (though he can leave a trail if he so chooses).
* In addition to this, the fortune-finder can study an opponent he can see as a move action. He then gains a bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks attempted against that opponent, as well as on weapon attack and damage rolls against it. The bonus is equal to half the fortune-seeker’s highest favored enemy bonus. A fortune-finder can’t attempt Knowledge checks untrained to identify an opponent he has studied with adaptable study. Bonuses from adaptable study don’t stack with those from the favored enemy ability. The ranger can study only a single target at a time.
* This ability replaces hunter’s bond.
