If we wait too long the orphans will be sold off.
I guess we can't just leave this treasure here though. How long would it take to just sell it, and not spend another day with scrolls?

I'm fine with Ghelve's being used as a treasure depot. Unless I get grumpy, the Last Laugh shouldn't rob you blind while your exploring. If you want to actually sell. It's probably a couple hours of moving, negotiating, selling, buying, etc.
I'd put the time about noon now. You had the early start, but retrieved the paintings and then there were several rooms of handwaving.
Keep in mind my spell list is fixed.
Of course, but more of it would be used towards offensive/defensive spells rather than healing if we had wand(s).
That's the point.
I've just posted IC my suggestion.
Back after a long drive and meh wedding.
I can see everyone's point about character motivations to rush v. the wisdom of preparation. I think we'd be a lot wiser to err on the side of preparation. It seems likely that we'll need to retreat back tot he surface again if we don't descend *quite* well stocked.
At the very least, I'd be grateful if Glimmil would buy 1 potion of enlarge and 1 oil of magic weapon, using gold from Dr. Toffitt's kitty.
Is Skie's the only place to buy scrolls? Silfr would like more scrolls of mage armor but I don't know where else he could buy them

::cough cough::
How badly do you need them?
Glimmil is excited to hear that you have a pet kitty.
He offers to feed your kitty sometimes if you'll feed his doggy.
He'll also gladly pick up the potions you requested.

It is a big chunk of AC...

So a big chunk of gold, eh?
If we get the day of shopping/selling/crafting, I can get you 2 scrolls of lvl 1 Mage Armor.

Tee hee!
Looks like we may have some agreement about stocking up. In that case, how about 1 oil of magic weapon and ingredients for 2 comprehend languages and 2 embiggen potions? Veddy nice.
I'll throw this wrench in the works. The time between the kidnappings/disappearances ranges from 2 to 8 days. The kidnappings from the orphanage occurred 3 days prior to the start of the adeventure. It is now day four of the adventure. While one can presume the slavers don't want to attract too much attention, you can also presume that they restock as slaves are sold at about the same rate.
I'll start on the math for selling/buying today, but let me know if you're waiting another day.
How low are we on healing magic after the construct?
Glim still has all his lay hands uses available.
Atol can heal you if you're injured Glimmil. Just let me know. I'm still basically full up. :)
I'll be afk most of the day.
Oops! Any chance of also getting tanglefoot bags at Skie's. Totally understand if it's 'too late'.

[ooc]Looks like most of us were out all day Sunday. Still a few outstanding issues:
- Who went to Tygot's?
- I didn't see consensus as to when you return to the elevator, but such is the pain of PbP. At this point I'll call it the next day since it won't matter in game terms. I rolled high earlier for when the slaves would be sold.
- Treasure account should be right. Again, don't worry about small loans among people. I've included the purchase of the 25 charge CLW wand I presume Atol has. It does not include a trip to Tygot's yet.
** spoiler omitted **
I believe that Atol is watching the door. He's a good door watcher...been doing that almost since we first walked into the building.
I believe Dr. Toffee and Dyrant are full crafting.
I believe Glim, Finn, & Silfr did the shopping/selling with Silfr making a quick visit to the swordsmith for a greatsword.
The treasure looks good. Did the 4500sp get added in? And I believe Glim sold some stuff and returned money to the kitty, though I'm not sure that was necessary.

Added 4500 sp and Glim's sales were on there. And, no, money does not need to be returned to the kitty except in roleplaying terms.
As far as party loot and such:
1. Do we have a 'party share' that we can use for things like expendable items that are of shared benefit? I would suggest including the CLW wand and comprehend language potions in such a pool, if one existed. But it's cool if we're doing more like honor system.
2. There are some alchemical items distributed around the party that might be helpful in Dr. Toffitt's hands. Not that he's hugely better at using them, but does have a high Dex for throwing things. These include:
- tanglefoot bag (Atol)
- maybe an acid flask or two, alchemist fire or two...
- who has the potion of invisibility? Dr. Toffitt would benefit from sneak attack use, but I don't think that's important enough to make him our automatic choice

Just to be clear, I'm aware that (by virtue of building my character using standard 2nd level character wealth) Dr. Toffitt is ahead of others treasure wise. Please don't take these questions as me being money-grubbing! Just trying to clarify our agreements about how we track stuff, so that I can know when to step back as we aim for equilibrium.
Enough of this showing you the man behind the mask! Dr. Toffitt has once again donned his badge of office.
You are greeted by two guards on duty at the gate, "What do you want citizen? After explaining to the guards the reason for your visit, you will be escorted to Captain Skellerang's office.
"It is good to see you gentelmen. I thought perhaps you had become the next victims since I haven't seen you in a couple days. I hope you bring good news."
Silfr will chat with him tomorrow, could be in a flashback if that is okay GM Chris. So sleepy...zzzz
Hey Chris, which of the character tokens is Toffitt? I've lost track... Maybe just point out what square he starts in during the hobgoblin fight...?

1) I think the treasure sheet shows a deduction of personal wealth from each party member for the purchase of the wand. Not for the potions of comprehend languages though. I think that's reasonable as pretty much everything we buy as individuals go to the greater good as well as our own. :)
2) If you ask, I'm sure Atol will part with it. He purchased a wide variety of things for the greater good and tries to carry as much as he can to lighten the load of others. He uses very little of what he carries (except the healers kit).

SOCIALISM!!!
SOCIALIST!!!
I, for one, as a god-loving Andoran, refuse to agree to these acts of socialism.
This is party-mandated socialism and I'll have no part in it. If we had *real* leadership in the gold armor, we wouldn't need to subsidize others.
Cuthbert bless us all for even considering this.
Thanks for that helpful response, Painlord... And your actually helpful response, Atol. :-p
So if I infer correctly, we do not have a separate party share, and just either (a) deduct joint purchases from undistributed funds, or (b) take a % out of each person when we purchase something that we all agree is for the party.
Not sure where that fine line between is between "everything is for the party" and "but this should actually be paid for by the party." But I'll probably know it when Painlord isn't ranting about socialism. He he.

It's option (b), I believe.
You'll be buying your own tanglefeet bags and I'll be buying my own Pearls o' Power and yet others will buy nice big swords.
I 'charged' Silfr 25gp for the 2 scrolls of Mage Armor, which I think is the right way to go as well.
You should have charged him 50gp. That's the street value. Or are you dipping just a bit into socialism yourself?
The greater good!
What's amusing is given the position of Kord's clergy on slavery I was going to sit back while we negotiated our way into the complex.
You can still try that later, or even now.
I was going to roleplay something about Glimmil hating goblins and hobgoblins for something bad they did in his past, maybe they kidnapped a gnomish uncle or something.
He gave up the mechanical "hatred" bonus against goblins, but I still wanted to roleplay parts of it.

Oh come now, Atol, you know the church's position on respecting our elders.
Silfr showed me his elder-elder-senior discount card and I gave him the appropriate discount based on his age: 50% off.
Believe me, when you ask for a scroll, it'll be full price and then some.
So after we free these slaves from the underdark are we going to overthrow the slavery in the plantations outside of cauldron?
Kord's church is actually ok with slavery I guess. Finneas isn't quite as tolerant, but that's a reflection of my real world bias.

Agreed. I don't think St. Cuthbert has any issues with slavery (especially if it's based on criminals paying restitution), but does have an issue with kidnapping, robbery, and attacks against his people.
Enough of this showing you the man behind the mask! Dr. Toffitt has once again donned his badge of office.
I approve! Now we just need Dryant to revert his icon...
Glimmil will have to settle for flanking with Toffit to get his +2.
By all means, do set up that flanking bonus!

Yaaaaaaaay
Go team!
Should I map this place like Jzadirune? I think I will see how much branching there is... with Jzadirune we were looking for hidden tunnels, going back and forth depending on keys, etc.
I'd wait. This should be more linear for us. Maybe. :D

Dr Toffitt, Silfr is holding off on enlarge person until it is approved for synthesis in the Ultimate Magic errata.

Ah. then it seems as though Finneas is our go-to for embiggen... Perhaps Toffitt could use it in conjunction with a Str. bonus mutagen, as well...

I'm coming around to the idea that Dyrant should be embiggening Atol more. We need some more cudgeling in our fights. And, Doctor, once you can share your strength mutagens, I'm going to insist we combine forces to create MegaAtol - at least once.
I don't suppose the fact that Atol has hit, maybe, once with his cudgel will sway you?
heheheh.
