Rise of the Runelords AE

Game Master Vuvu

Perhaps the wizard is stronger than any of us, he might know or be able to tell if and which items are cursed in our packs.

Tarinhil won't pick the lock until Unalaq tells him whether or not the mage goes "Ping" on his senses. He's sick of being set up.

hes not evil. i just fastfrowarded you a bit

and its almost as if I put a scroll there so you would be able to rest Tarin...a shame you didn't use it. :)

Sigh... Every other thing we found was cursed -- So we ignored the items..... And I remember the "fun" with curse scrolls -- and I sure didn't want to turn into a newt! (Or, rather, watch Fernus turn into a newt, since it's on his spell-list and so he'd be the one trying to cast it.)

Then again, that's probably my old-style pre-Pathfinder days showing, because I don't think they have super-powerful cursed scrolls in PF.

On the plus side, +2 to my int modifier may not increase my bombs and extracts today as it attunes to me, but just like if someone cast Fox's Cunning, it increases my bomb damage and DCs by 2 -- and since I get to add my int modifier to splash weapons, means that the acid, liquid ice and alchemist's fire that are filling my pack all do d6+6 now.

sure does. I tried to help you guys by having the note saying use these hidden items. but that is alright.

It was a matter, I suspect, of not believing that the note wasn't even more of a setup. ;)

All good. We're still alive at the moment, even if we've literally used more than 90 charges of CLW.

only 90 charges...I must not have made this dungeon hard enough

Well, to be fair, there were spells cast from scrolls and extracts in there too.

And I think it's actually 95 on top of that.

:P

Hi all. I am heading to Costa Rica for a week and will have little access to the internet, except for a few minutes a day, so my posting may be very light or spotty from Saturday to Saturday.
Feel free to post for me as needed.

Do t forget those three false life's cl 11

So I hope this was worth the interlude. I have really enjoyed it and in addition to having freed a level 11 crafting wizard and finding some good loot you are about to get PAID once this ends we move into book 2 proper

And level 5 Mini? I'm excited to begin casting 2nd level spells.

Better survive first. I think Unalaq is just going to double move into that room, but making sure that's really our guy and its hard to count squares with everyone standing on them :)

no no level 5

everyone note that the green box is a pit, that aeron just avoided

What is the 1?

The elemental he summon ed

I guess Val jumped the pit during a move action, then moved towards the elemental rolling Acrobatics to avoid an AoO.

If the squares are still 5 by 5 feet, she could move 30 feet and accomplish this if I look correctly Mini.
She moves 5-feet south-west counting as 5 feet moved, then 3 down, two of which are done via Acrobatics, then move two left rolling Acrobatics again to avoid AoO.

She would still have a standard action left to attack the elemental if I'm not mistaken.

Using Acrobatics is at half speed, isn't it?

Only on a ledge or to evade AoO's I think, not when using to jump. You can increase the DC by 10 to move normal speed when trying to evade AoO's or move across narrow/uneven surfaces.

So if Val succeeds the check to evade an AoO with an increased DC of 10 she should be able to attack the elemental still.

To avoid aoos is doible

So pertinent stats on Bref

Dex 26
3 levels feral gnasher
4 levels rogue

Feats throw anything (bonus) improved natural attack, weapon finesse, roll withit, vital strike
Rogue talents. Combat trick weapon focus bite, the one that let's you stand up and not provoke

Traits: the one that have him a bite attack and advantageous distraction

He was quite nasty. Surprised we made it out of that one in one piece. Did anyone die?

Maybe Aéron. That last hit was.... bad.

so you guys avoided the alchemists lab and the army of gobbo alchemists

and the treasury...but you will get it all

everyone give me a list of 3 bonus feats you would like to have

actually change of plans

go ahead and take level5

Haven't figured out a new feat for level 5, (Deft Hands would be useful in terms of the whole picking locks thing, Extra Discovery would let me take Spontaneous Healing or Feral Mutagen, Point Blank Shot would be useful with bombs, also -- especially since it gives me access to Rapid Shot, Precise Shot and Far Shot)... but will be taking Animal Aspect as the new formula.

Maybe our nice new wizard friend will let me copy stuff out of his spellbook later.

I'm making the assumption that I'll be holding on to the headband -- which massively useful for me (more bombs per day, higher DC, more damage), plus extra formulae per day -- so my stats now assume 5 ranks in knowledge history and arcana as well as an int modifier of 6.

I'm also assuming we'll want to find a nice hiding place to rest and regain spells and formulae...

I also haven't updated all the statblock spoilers -- I'll do that once I'm sure there's no changes due to a feat.

Oh brw I mean take a level not tell me feats

Mmmmmm 5th level is so, so good for Swashbuckler.

yes Tarin he will be happy share his book w you

3rd lvl spells

I wouldn't mind the ring of deflection unless someone else wants it. I guess lets see what the entire treasure stash is.

[ooc] just waiting for you guys to finish dealing with Shalelu, who is mangled...

Went with PBS.

8500 gp to spend?
Headband of Alluring Charisma +2 (4000)
Probably an Amulet of natural Armour +1 (2000)
And perhaps a page of spell knowledge (lvl 1) (1000) (Any wishes from the rest as to what lvl 1 spell we might need?)

Also do we pool resources again for a wand (or two) of CLW or CMW?

Agreed, I say we each put in 500gp into the party treasury for misc. wands.

We'd suggested a half-share earlier for crafting of useful items -- wands, potions, etc. I think that's still a good idea.

500 each would be 3,000 -- which isn't quite a half-share --(that'd be about 650 each -- 3900 for miscellaneousness and 7850 each) -- I'm thinking each paying a wee bit extra might be useful, especially the way we drained away CLW charges.

If we want to buy a wand of CMW, we'd need to pool 750 gp each to it, 1500 if we want 2 wands.

That is without any discount we get from the witch (or the wizard).

The witch can make up to level 2 adept wands, at cost, the wizard can make lots of stuff at 75% cost

I wouldn't get a wand of CMW. It's not cost effective. In-combat healing from wands is brutal. We're better off getting scrolls/potions for that use.

It wasn't meant as combat healing, rather as after combat healing. But perhaps it's not as cost effective as a wand of CLW, but else we'd be carrying 10 wands with us in the end ;)

So no one wants to talk to the wizard?

That's why wands are light, Fernus. ;) I'd rather carry 2 sticks than pay 5 times the cost and squish it into one. ;)

And, Mini, I was planning on it, but I was waiting for Aéron to have his moment with Shalelu first. ;)
