Shisumo's Shattered Star 2 (Inactive)

Game Master Shisumo

I think Shiv sees it as payment for A) freeing her from the shard and B) saving her life from the Tower Girls. However, he doesn't feel overly strongly about it and would go with the groups decision. But then again, he is somewhat of a scoundrel himself so takes his views with a sack of salt. Of course, she may also have something to offer us instead, such as information or something (like whatever that adamantine key goes to).

Erwin is levelled (spending his favored class bonus on a skill point):
+6 hp, +1 BAB, +1 Fort, +1 Will. +1 rank Diplomacy, Knowledge (history) Sense Motive, Spellcraft
New spells: 0: Stabilize 1: Inflict Light Wounds

He thinks we should keep Natalya's stuff. She caused us quite a lot of trouble and someone's got to pay for his cleaning.

Nothing in the treasure interests Erwin particularly, except the adamantine key, that would make a very nice holy symbol quite apart from its possible use. He'd be happy to have his share in cash.

Uraisa can't use either the wand of mage armor or the scroll of shield, so she will be happy with her share in gold as well.

El thinks we should give Natalya her stuff back, but when the charm wears off, her vote will change to keeping the gear and selling Natalya's body to the university for reanimation by apprentice necromancers. ;-)

Once not charmed Galyna will consider Natalya's stuff the fee for retrieving her without killing her, and keeping the Tower Girls from doing so.

Miet can use the wand and scroll but if the others would rather sell them would be fine with that as well.

From the guys out in front of the boarding house:
50 gp
morningstar (x4)
light crossbow and case of 10 bolts (x4) (The bolts for Galyna)
chainmail (x4) (1 for Salt)
light wooden shield (x4)

From Natalya’s satchel:
a wand of Mage Armor (Miet)
a scroll of Shield (Miet)
a smokestick (Shiv if no one else)
a tanglefoot bag (Shiv if no one else)
masterwork thieves' tools Ellantera
the coppery metal Shard Of Pride Uraisa

From Natalya herself:
mithral (and therefore masterwork) short sword (Galyna)
some magic boots (unidentified)

From Natalya’s “treasury:”
climber’s kit (Salt)
second story harness (Salt)
40 gp
some buttons made of semiprecious stones (30 gp)
a faded handbill declaring its possessor to be the rightful owner of the Grand Mastaba of Korvosa (an obvious fake, likely a carnival novelty)
a heavy key made of what appears to be pure adamantine (Erwin)

From the Tower Girls:
masterwork short sword (x2) (1 for Shiv)
masterwork hand crossbow and 10 bolts (x2) (1 for Shiv)
masterwork chain shirt (x2) (1 for Shiv)
masterwork whip
6 CLW potions (Uraisa, Ellantera, Shiv, Salt, Galyna, Miet)
4 Lesser Restoration potions (Uraisa, Kassandra, Miet, Salt)
a smokestick (x2) (Shiv if no one else)
tanglefoot bag (x4) (Shiv if no one else)
climber's kit (x2), (Shiv and Ellantera)
coil of silk rope (x2) (Shiv and Ellantera)
second-story harness (x2) (Shiv and Ellantera)
silver holy symbols in the shape of three daggers connected at their hilts
8 pp, 94 gp

Uraisa would like a potion of CLW and one of Lesser Restoration.

Put your sister for a silk rope, climbing kit, and second-story harness, brother.

I would plan on holding all of the crossbow bolts since that is Galyna's preferred weapon.

Does anyone have a concern with El taking the MW thieves' tools? Also, she has a standard longsword to put in the kitty for sale.

Uraisa can use the shard since she is an Intelligence- based caster as well. Bonus to Int would obviously be helpful to her.

It's not evocation, but illusion isn't one of her banned schools.

These are the 2 things yet to be identified. If you have appraisal (and haven't already tried at 2nd level) than go ahead and try at least the gems. If you have detect magic also than try with the boots.

5 gems from box (unknown value) (One used to pay Amazing Zograthy)
some magic boots (unidentified)

Shisumo: Did we recover the heavy crossbows, goblin weapons, and stuff?

EDIT: Updated the above list with Ellantera's and Uraisa'a requests. Also, distributed the potions because, well frankly, they are just going to be used on whomever needs them at the time

Sheet's updated.

Shisumo: Did we recover the heavy crossbows, goblin weapons, and stuff?

Oh, yes, you did - although frankly, there's not much market for goblin-made gear (especially not sewer goblin made...), so if you're not going to use them, you won't really be able to sell them. The crossbow can be used or sold, though.

40 gp
some buttons made of semiprecious stones (30 gp)
a faded handbill declaring its possessor to be the rightful owner of the Grand Mastaba of Korvosa (an obvious fake, likely a carnival novelty)

1000 gp reward

Total sell and gold piece value of both unclaimed items and coin=2629 Dividing by 6 (minus Shiv and Ellantera so far), each share (at this point) is 438gp. I will be forgoing my share because I am probably ending up with a lot of rogue oriented stuff here. I think there were one or two others who were also throwing their shares back into the pot for PCs that did not end up getting much. Please let me know if your not taking a share. Also, please let me know if you want any of the stuff I have up for sale.

El will take the masterwork chain shirt and put her armored coat in the kitty. It's an upgrade because of the improvement to her skills.

She will take enough gold to replace what she spent getting information (3 gp), but otherwise, she's getting more than enough in gear and will forgo the rest of her share, especially when Shiv does.

While you're considering the question, you should also consider who will be carrying the Shard of Pride and its associated ioun stone, because you'll get to keep them both.

Also, beyond the fact that they are magical, no one has yet determined anything about the boots you took from Natalya.

Oscar will keep out 100 GP, and throw the rest into the party fund. I think it's a good idea to keep a party fund for scrolls, potions, etc. that we all use.

Erwin will take a gander at the boots.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

The boots are cat burglar's boots: CL 3rd, cost 2000 gp. Once per day as an immediate action, the wearer of cat burglar’s boots can reroll any one failed Acrobatics, Climb, or Stealth check, taking the result of that check in place of the first failed check (even if the second result is worse). In addition, a secret pocket in the boots is built to hold a fully functional set of masterwork thieves’ tools. A DC 22 Perception check is required to notice this pocket. Any other object in the pocket causes it to bulge and become obvious to even casual observation. (The tools are not currently in the pocket - the set Natalya had in her pouch are designed to fit in the boots, they go together.)

Aw hell, obviously I want those boots too...

Do I need to trade you thieves' tools so you have the whole set?

Oh, with regard to the key: a chunk of adamantine that size would likely be worth several hundred gp (exact number dependent on an Appraise check). Also,

Do I need to trade you thieves' tools so you have the whole set?

Yeah, he'll just trade you his set of MW thieves tools for them. So, effectively it all works out the same way, you end up with a set of MW thieves tools.

Shisumo: How much are the silver holy symbols in the shape of three daggers connected at their hilts worth?
Appraisal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Appraisal roll for adamantine key: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Here is divided by person (for easier reference). This may change if we decide to give Natalya's stuff back to her after talking to her. I added PCs totals (based off sale value) to give a clearer picture of the split. After seeing this, everyone but Uraisa and Shiv are basically in the same ballpark and, I suggest, should keep their shares (including Ellantera). Uraisa, you want to donate your share? Also, I can definitely part with the Ring of Feather Falling should someone else want or have a use for it (just trying to even the field a little).

Six throwing darts (1.5 gp)
Potion of Cure Light Wounds (25 gp)
the coppery metal Shard Of Pride (priceless)
CLW potion (25 gp)
Lesser Restoration potion (150 gp)

Ellantera: (466 gp)
Silver dagger (11 gp)
Potion Cure Light Wounds (25 gp)
Masterwork longsword (157.5 gp)

Masterwork short sword (155 gp)
Masterwork hand crossbow and 10 bolts (200.5 gp)

Erwin: (100-200? gp)
a heavy key made of what appears to be pure adamantine (100-200? gp)

Unclaimed and not sold:
-5 gems from box (unknown value) (One used to pay Amazing Zograthy)
-a faded handbill declaring its possessor to be the rightful owner of the Grand Mastaba of Korvosa (an obvious fake, likely a carnival novelty)
-Fire Elemental Magical Gem (1,125 gp)

Total sell and gold piece value of both unclaimed items and coin=2654. Dividing by 7 (minus Shiv), each share (at this point) is 379gp.

EDIT: Moved Uraisa's Fire Elemental Magical Gem (1,125 gp) into unclaimed loot. Anyone can take it who wants it.

They're standard silver holy symbols, so 25 gp together.

I clearly don't need the fire elemental gem. I was just holding onto it. Someone else could get more use from it, I think. Especially if I am carrying an artifact.

Shiv isn't terribly interested in a bunch of history mumbo jumbo but wouldn't mind getting some answers from Natalya. Questions such as what the key is to? Do we have to worry about the Tower Girls continuously coming after us?

As to the Pathfinder Lady, does she have more jobs for us?

Anyway, Shiv is definitely NOT the person you want asking the questions. Diplomacy is not his strong point.

Appraise on Adamantine Key 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Erwin will try to Appraise the key too. 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

The key can be sold for 750 gp.

Erwin is definitely going to hold on to the key. Assuming that it's not destroyed when used, he's happy to throw his share of gold back into the kitty.

Someone claim the Fire Elemental gem as well.

I should point out that Erwin received a CLW potion from Lady Heidmarch to use as he saw fit. I think he still has it, right?

I think El has taken more than her fair share. One of those getting less from the kitty should take the Fire Elemental gem. Seems like a good item if you need an ally right now.

I just realized I forgot to have Sheila give your reward in the thread. Rather than messing with a retcon, I'll just note that she did in fact pay you the 1000 gp she promised.

What would be the key skills required ti generate a quality map. I'm sure at least one knowledge.

Profession (cartographer), Craft (maps) or Knowledge (geography) would be the relevant skills, but Lady Sheila will take anything that's reasonably accurate - it doesn't have to be pretty.

Ok got the knowledge Geography at least.

Roll call!

Present.

Here.

Here in all my glorious beauty.

Here

You can rest assured Ellantera. I am here and watching from the wings. Shiv has been out on a bender with Salt while you guys have been chatting it up. Been a two month interlude to an already glacially paced game.

Present!

Yeah, we've had our moments. We maybe need to just go after so much time waiting. Trying to get a party this big to buy in on everything just isn't going to happen - people have other things going on, for one.

Trust me, I've learned a fair amount about running PbPs for a party this large, and as much as I have and continue to enjoy it, I probably won't do it again. But for now, onward!

Making a note here to add the shard details to Uraisa's sheet tomorrow when I'm at the office computer!

Here as well! (just saying)

Guys, I'm going to have to beg your indulgence for a short while. I've had several very long work days (12+ hours) in a row, and this afternoon just as I was sitting down to update my PbPs my father called to tell me my mother is in the hospital. I'm not likely to worth anything for a day or two. Please bear with me.

I'm so sorry to hear that, take all the time you need, hope she recovers swiftly.
