No. There just hasn't been party agreement yet. Just because you ignore it doesn't mean there hasn't been dissent.

As you wish. Didn't realize we were consenting on anything.
We'll see what happens with Atol's efforts.
Now that they're 'clean' I say sell them off! :)

Agreed.
Another quiet day in Cauldron? Mayhaps I'll try to get a day of scribing in.
Btw, ever notice that sometimes in PbP days can take weeks (like our fights with Kazmo through the raising of Atol), but other days seem like a few hours?
PbP time is funny.
Little creative thought today, but numbers are comforting today. Some people had already updated the Character Tracking spreadsheet. I updated the rest.
Finneas - Your stats were right, but your face page on Paizo still says Oracle 2.
Silfir - Your face page on Paizo is still level 2. Hadn't noticed that cheese before--being able to pump CHA up to 20 for divine grace of +5 to all saves.
Toffitt - Your face page has 3 levels, but your stats weren't updated so I couldn't update the stat sheet.
ALL - This stat sheet does help, but I'll again say I like the status updates each round of combat posting. It makes things so much easier.

Son of a! Corrected.
On another note, a local bakery makes scones out of stone ground flour with cinnamon and chocolate chip chunks. Now that's drool.

Oh sweet. My wife makes some nice white choc/m&m scones.
Maybe we'll do a scone exchange via the US Postal service? You up for it?

Never thought of it before but sure could be interesting.
I just devour the Starbuck's maple scones.. that's about all the scone experience I have.
Chris, am I missing a link to the character stat spreadsheet on your profile page? If it's not there, would you mind adding it?
I've updated Dr. Toffitt's info. Still need to email you about finalizing feat.

I love those as well, though I hear they are far from what home made scones can taste like, in the ideal state.
I'll try the cook's illustrated recipe someday but presently am getting supplies to make fresh waffles tomorrow.
I bet Dr. Toffitt would just loooove to have his mad scientist laboratory in an underground castle like the Malachite Fortress....

Wow. That's a pretty scary thought.
Dr. Toffee has already basically admitted to researching way to extend his life and increase his power. Heck, I think he's a pre-lich grad student with a minor in alchemical preservatives.We'd eventually have to go back and it's be MUCH worse than a Tomb of Horrors situation.
Fortunately we have discovered the good Doctor's weakness...

Sunder, Sunder, , coming soon to the Malachite Fortress! Buy tickets now.
D30 casts Silfr's Wall of Text and dazes the party for 1 round.
I failed my Will Save, I'm not just dazed but stunned.
RE: Cost of living and Ghelve's.
As stated long ago, I don't find cost of living worth tracking. Glimmil has been heading home. Atol to his cell, etc. Feel free to R/P what works for you.
I don't think the party is looking for a commune/frat house/etc for living quarters, but would like a place to meet, store a lab and other items.
Ghelve's is not really large enough to accomodate this, but works for a meeting place in the interim.
I would like the party to eventually have a central office. It would help with roleplaying and give my bad guys something to torch. :)
Gnome leaders are wary about reclaiming Jzadirune. People can be cured. Items can be cleansed. However, it's still not easy to tell who and what is infected until it's too late. Most importantly, the source of the Vanishing has not been identified or dealt with.

Gnome leaders are willing to let the party deal with it as they wish. It was already abandoned a couple generations back, so there is little interest in taking it back until the Vanishing is dealt with.
RE: Malachite Fortress
You have not dealt with the dwarven community on this one yet. Again, the backstory on the place is:
A stronghold built by dwarves and gnomes to guard against incursions from the Underdark. Zenith Splintershield led an army of dwarves into the Underdark a decade ago and has not been seen since. He left behind a meager number of defenders who have not been heard from in over a year.
I'll drop a few clues in the story thread as the party talks to people and searches the fortress for clues about the kidnap victims and the fate of the meager number of defenders.

@ Atol: Please update the sheet with your "modified" stats for the level drain. Not sure if anything will occur before the next best restoration, but it might.
Finneas flexes dramatically as he speaks about the goblins to Skellerang, unaware that the plates covering his body ruin the effect.
ROFL.
For the treasure sheet:
Every time you suggest healing hands I will bring up "paly power." haha :)
I call dibs on the Black Power Ranger.
I like that Finneas overheats when thinking hard in platemail and reaches for Dryant's scrolls as towelletes
AAA - Atol's Able-bodied Avengers?
Cauldron's Cogwheels? :)
You can be there. I was having a casual friendly spar with the Doctor until your charming self showed up bashing St. Cuthbert.
Come and talk if you'd like.
Edit: If he did then Silfr doesn't have anything to say to the rude and arrogant fellow. There is no point in engaging with close minded zealots.
In character, you insulted St. Cuthbert to our faces. Then you call Dyrant rude and arrogant for defending his god? How very odd.
And yes, Dyrant, as a character, is somewhat a close, minded zealot...of course, that's not because of any point you or the doctor have made. His is a Greyhawkian religious type, no doubt.
Dyrant doesn't know what a paladin is or even that's what you are. I don't care either. That you are a heathen and faithless (you admit that you don't follow a god) and you bash his God does matter to Dyrant.

"It was not Kord who lowered the rope, Glittergold who fought the skulks, or St. Cuthbert who did anything useful, the last which should surprise no one. These were the acts of men, gnomes, half elves and half orcs."
This is what you are talking about? It is a statement of fact. No diety appeared or did anything useful, least of all Cuthbert. You (Painlord) are adding to it in order to write Dryant as self righteous. Just like you (Painlord) wrote Dryant extorting a holy symbol from Atol at crossbow point then complained I perceived him as a brigand.
If you want latch onto "surprise no one" and treat it as an insult, have him say that or bring up St Cuthbert does engage in protecting mortals / Greyhawk, like at the Temple of Elemental Evil.
If you are going to write Dryant as treating everyone who is not taking divine caster levels or acting as a priest as a faithless heathen, I expect some consistency to expand his rudeness beyond Silfr. As of now he hasn't has a religious discussion with the Silfr character about which if any deity he follows. He has seen Silfr summon, speak highly of and work with Celestials, talk about armor from the Celestial overworld, and speak well of st cuthbert's orphanage and Atol's clerical actions in general. He has also been present when Silfr has spoken well of or tried to learn more about Cuthbert and Glimmergold.
Dyrant doesn't know what a paladin is or even that's what you are. I don't care either. That you are a heathen and faithless (you admit that you don't follow a god) and you bash his God does matter to Dyrant.
Dryant doesn't know what a paladin is? Really? Is that what you are going with?
Dryant doesn't notice Silfr has taken all these risks an actions to do good (save orphans) and help Atol & actual St Cutherbtines? Dryant reads the OOC thread and sees I want Silfr to be a paladin following a code rather than a fourth edition crusader for one diety - which it turns out is normal for paladins in greyhawk & pathfinder?
Give me a break, you are taking your obnoxious anti-social character to extremes and I don't like it focused on me.
Dyrant took exception to this slight on St. C:
"It was not Kord who lowered the rope, Glittergold who fought the skulks, or St. Cuthbert who did anything useful, the last which should surprise no one. These were the acts of men, gnomes, half elves and half orcs."
I think the words: "the last of which would surprise no one." was the thing that set him off. You inferred that St. Cuthbert was the least of the three and didn't do anything in the process of getting to or finding the Doctor.
If you think I'm reading you wrong, you can re-state it and correct what you meant to say.
* * *
As for thinking of you as a 'heathen'/godless, I would point out:
1) You have never claimed to worship any god...ever. Dyrant might be wrong about this (probably is), but he's kind of an ass but you haven't shown otherwise;
2) You do not have a holy symbol on your character inventory nor stated on your appearance;
3) You bashed St. Cuthbert;
4) Your character doesn't show much knowledge about religious matters.
As for calling you a heathen, that only means 'an irreligious, uncultured, or uncivilized person'.
Now, if Silfr wants to state that he believes in something, Dyrant would be happy and eager to have a discussion about that.
* * *

Dyrant agrees that Silfr has done good...just like the Doctor. I don't think I've suggested otherwise.
In fact, you might equate Silfr's actions with Doctor's arguments about whether one needs a god to do good or bad to do good things: it fits the argument perfectly. But I don't think Dyrant is attacking you over it. I'm sorry you feel that way.
As far as focusing 'anti-social' hate on you, let me give you what really happened:
1) Dyrant and the Doctor were having a discussion both in character and in Google chat about our religious beliefs.
2) Silfr came along and bashed St. C.
3) Dyrant took exception to that, in character.
4) Silfr thinks Dyrant is creating discord.
* * *
Now, if you meant to say something different about St. C, no worries. Dyrant is open for forgiveness...or Atol will counsel him to let it go.
I leave it up to you.

Ah, just read this. You can ignore my IC thread post stating I was waiting on information here and blame me for not checking the OOC thread first.
As part of these questions, Glimmil will point out that he has had the Vanishing and suspects it was because he used a cursed magical item (he suspects the bag of tricks).
He also points out that it seems to be fairly trivial for a priest to cure the disease, which maybe wasn't the case when Jzadirune was abandoned? He reports that most of the traps and creatures that took up residence have been "dealt with" and worries that if at least some part of Cauldron doesn't take up active residence there, it will just fall back into the hands of less desirables over time.
Of course, he is not an "elder gnome", but he hopes his recent fame in heroic actions will motivate some of the gnomes to consider a more active interest in the abandoned enclave, and perhaps more investigation into the true source of the Vanishings.
I've obviously left this party out of a dungeon for too long... :(
You really flipped out after I repeated exactly your ordering of Cauldron's big three and added "as surprises no one". I had no way of knowing you and Doctor were having a private google chat about your personal religious beliefs and weaving that into your play by post.
You're here too? I had no idea.Dyrant looks at Silfr and just shakes his head.
"Of course they were the actions of men, gnomes, and others...however, they were accomplished because of divine inspiration and assistance. The only reason we succeeded was because of our connections with our deities...but I could not expect a faithless heathen like yourself to understand, Silfr. We divine types, Atol & I to St. Cuthbert, Finn to Kord, Glim to Garl, succeed because of our divine mandate. However, if you truly believe we succeeded without our Gods behind us and if you are so dismissive of St. Cuthbert's contributions, I encourage you to reject Atol's ministrations in the future. I challenge you to stand by your words."
My guess is that he scorn of St. Cuthbert will disappear the next time his armor disappears, in a puff of illusion, as his body cries for the healing arts.
Dyrant looks again for any religious affiliations on Siflr.
Dyrant doesn't know what a paladin is or even that's what you are. I don't care either. That you are a heathen and faithless (you admit that you don't follow a god) and you bash his God does matter to Dyrant.
I don't like this aggressive version of Dryant/Painlord. The way you write these interactions with my character are not entertaining to me. When you write like this, and follow-up with these shifting justifications in the OOC thread, I don't want to play this game.

Obviously, my efforts to reach Silfr off list to discuss this have failed.
I'll keep trying.
I will take responsibility for my part in this.

I might suggest sharing a nice beer and making peace since the parties in question are in the same region. Painlord and D30, you are both awesome and I'd hate to see a PbP flare up get out of hand. :-/
- A large unoccupied warehouse on the lake on Ash Avenue. Many of the boards are rotted and it has obviously seen the worst of more than one flood season. It is divided into 4 sections. Rent is 2 gp per day.
I think this building should be condemned. There's serious metal fatigue in all the load bearing members, the wiring is sub-standard; it's completely inadequate for our power needs. And the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone.
Are those rents correct? 5gp/day is 150/month. I assume that is the total rent and not the individual? Here is a partial list from Core:
Poor (3 gp/month): The PC lives in common rooms of taverns, with his parents, or in some other communal situation—this is the lifestyle of most untrained laborers and commoners. He need not track purchases of meals or taxes that cost 1 sp or less.
Average (10 gp/month): The PC lives in his own apartment, small house, or similar location—this is the lifestyle of most trained or skilled experts or warriors. He can secure any nonmagical item worth 1 gp or less from his home in 1d10 minutes, and need not track purchases of common meals or taxes that cost 1 gp or less.
Wealthy (100 gp/month): The PC has a sizable home or a nice suite of rooms in a fine inn. He can secure any nonmagical item worth 5 gp or less from his belongings in his home in 1d10 minutes, and need only track purchases of meals or taxes in excess of 10 gp.

I assumed it was total rent, not individual, but could be wrong.
What we really should do is lease out the Jzadirune rooms to up and coming criminal organizations and the Malachite Fortress to some new Drow Overlords. We'll rake in the bucks. All we need do now is establish legal authority over the two holdouts.
Simple solution: we send in our lead legal and real estate expert, Atol, to talk to the Mayor.

Good reference. The landlords will reconsider their rates based on your market research.
Son of a...beach. Beach front property, that's the ticket.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
So, trying to work out rents in the mod. I'm at:
Poor= 3gp/month/character = 18 gp = about 5 sp/day
Average = 10gp/month/character = 60 gp = about 2 gp/day
Well to do merchants (Skie, Tygot) = 50gp/month/character = 300 = 6 gp/day
Wealthy (nobles) = 100gp/month/character = 600
Considering the prices quoted were for the entire party, per day, I think I did fairly well off the cuff. Revised prices below. Price is for entire party, not per character.
- A longtime unrented one-story shop space across from the Drunken Morkoth Inn on Obsidian Ave. It's about twice as large as Ghelve's and has a "retail" space in the front and a back room. Rent is 3 gp per day.
Revised price is 2 gp/day. 60 gp/month. Available for purchase for 2 years rent 1440 gp. No garden space, but the roof is flat and you could put pots up there.
- A large unoccupied warehouse on the lake on Ash Avenue. Many of the boards are rotted and it has obviously seen the worst of more than one flood season. It is divided into 4 sections. Rent is 2 gp per day.
Revised price is 1 gp/day. 30 gp/month. Available for purchase for 2 years rent 720 gp. No current garden space, but lots of room for pots and raised beds.
- A nicer two-story house, directly next to the smithy on Magma Avenue. Don't plan on sleeping past dawn or concentrating too hard unless you can tap your feet to the rhythm of the anvil. 4 gp per day.
Revised price is 2 gp/day. 60 gp/month. Available for purchase for 2 years rent 1440 gp. Small plot of land in the back for a garden.
- A modest, two-story, 3 bedroom house on Lava Avenue about a block from the orphanage. The owners recently moved away to a drier climate. 5 gp per day. Revised price is 4 gp/day. 120 gp/month. Available for purchase for 2 years rent 2880 gp. The is currently a garden of birds of paradise, ferns, and other decorative plants.
- If you'd like something big & nice & quiet, it'll be in the Skie/Tygot range of 6gp/day. 180 gp/month. 4320 gp/purchase.
I really like the idea of the warehouse as a fixer upper with it's 4 sections and just buying it outright, so that's my vote. Second choice is the house next to the smithy, but I'm biased like that.
We could think of it as buying the land, and plan a better house/office there. I like that idea. I'm a little worried about the flooding though. We should look into that before buying. Flooding is bad. :P
Also, Chris, what's the square footage there? Maybe I could draft something up. Nothing too fancy...

You really know how to work the real estate listings.
Silfr will take Weapon Focus: Greatsword for his level 3 feat. Yes a summoner not spamming natural attacks, therefor not cheesy at all.
I like the warehouse property as a tear-down. It could be rebuilt in a tudor style, with the first floor being sealed stone + mortar to resist flooding?
Kinda like a warhammer fantasy art style for empire buildings.. keeps out water, keeps out chaos:
Very cool idea. :)
But what about garden space?
when we tear it down and build the new structure we allow for garden space. ;)
