Game Master djdust

Build rules to keep in mind as you level up:
Background Skills are in effect!
ABP is in effect!
Feat Tax Rules are in effect!
Average HP!

Totally missed ABP! That’s huge...

I’m going to be out of pocket for a couple of days. Helping my dad and cousins pack up my aunt (dad’s oldest sister) so she can move in with one of her boys. All 6 hours drive form where I live, so I’m limited to mobile until probably Saturday. Will level up once I get home and have access to HeroLab.

Hezekh: Sounds like fun! (cough) Stay safe on the road!

All: Please remember to update your alias and stat line.

Updated

@Hezekh: Take care!

Can anyone cast restoration yet? I still have a negative level that needs removing.

Apologies, hoping to get my Level done sometime today. Been strugglign with pain a lot thanks to the weather constantly going nuts.

@Hezekh: Unfortunately, Inquisitors only get 4th level spells at level 10.

@Toulbe: I hope your pain diminishes soon.

@All: I aim to level up today.

The best bet for restoration in party is Adu, i think, but not until 8th lvl. Out of party, there is Etur Abbeystone, High Priest of Torag back in Taggoret. You could perhaps return to the Theocrats' Vault and send a correspondence or figure out another way to make contact.

Any place we could buy potions or a wand?

The merchants in the Theocrat's Vault perhaps?

Bleh, oh holy hell. I had some stuff messed up on this. (Granted the last time we updated this, Toulbe was carrying a lot of his gear instead of having it in the wagon. So some negs got removed switching from Med Encumbrance to Light.) Topple that on losing my Hero Labs folder (I assume it didn't transfer over properly) meant I had to remake the character and make sure everything land in place for the right numbers and such.

Sorry it took me so long to update. The previous information just would not click till I figured out the changes and why they weren't making sense. That said, update.

Nothing exciting from the Oracle side of things beyond 2nd-level spells. I did take Lesser Restoration, so once we've fully rested I can help with that Con damage.

GM Update: I'm taking this opportunity to update the campaign in a few ways. First, I'm implementing an in game calendar, which means I'm currently reading back through the campaign (which is great fun) and counting the days. Why this has become imperative is, if you are returning to The Vault, Sankest Barrelbottom left to Taggoret to return with more goods, and I need to know how long you've been gone and how when he'll be back.

As I do this, I'll also update the kills list, inventory, and such. This might take a bit, just fyi, so please sit tight.

Thanks for the heads up. So, as the new party member...where is the consensus of where to go next?

It sounds like The Vault is the next stop. Although, I realize now your current hex remains unexplored.

So, for immediate options, explore the hex, return to The Vault.

Less immediate options, clear out the ant infested mine, do anything else.

I like that. Finish exploring the hex, then resupply

Good with that. Though Glor would not mind clearing out the ants too.

Let's finish exploring the hex, see how we're fixed then, assess.

Goggeck would go after the ants if the party isn't too drained.

Resupply is needed.

I'm good with whatever.

Adu is too excited about being taller than Toulbe to care.

(But OOC, resupply doesn't sound like a bad idea.)

Apologies for not having been active. My wrist has been having some issues and swelling has caused bones to dislodge so I've been having a hard time typing most days. I've had an Xray, an MRI, and am not getting EMG soon to try and find the problem. >.< Hopefully will be back up to snuff soon >.<

Take care Toulbe!

What the GM said!

What’s the gold split for this resupply run?

What’s the gold split for this resupply run?

That's a good question and I hope to have a good answer for you soon ;)

Hey y'all. Guess what. I'm all caught up with campaign tracking. Lemme tell you, it was a lot of fun rereading through everything so far. It's one positive aspect of playing through these forums, is we get an accurate record of the game!

So here's what's updated:
NEW! Game Calendar: In the spirit of Dwarf Fortress, you began your journey on the first day of Spring. According to my calculations, you've been adventuring for 35 days! That puts the current game day on the 4th of Pharast according to the Golarion Calendar. You'll notice the calendar date now listed at the top of the campaign page.
Kills List: All those bugbears, giant ants, and the wyvern now accounted for.
Party Inventory: With every kill comes loot! Party inventory is updated. Please give it a lookover, there's scrolls and wands and things left unclaimed. Some things are unidentified and or unappraised.

That's it on my end. I do want to say Thank You all for hanging in there and keeping the game going. Also thank you for the current RP interaction within the group. It fills me cold, dead GM heart with joy to get a peek into the inner world and motivations of the PCs.

Thanks for the lists, GM!

I may not be able to post again until Saturday. Just a heads up.

Apologies, I am gonna try my best to get a post out tomorrow. Things have been just all over the place health wise and then with the fourth kicking my ass....ugh.

Take care.

Much apologies for the delay, I've been very busy and stressed.

@GM: That is very understandable.

Please review the Loot Sheet. Highlight anything you wish to sell off to Sankest in green. The group column is on the far right. You may want to make some identification, appraisal rolls on some things first.

@All:

My suggestions:

* We identify/appraise/shake all of the items that we don't want to keep and that we don't have a value for.

* Goggeck has a grand total of Appraise +0 so some other dwarf (or gnome!) may want to take point on that appraisal!

* My vote is to sell all weapons, armour, gems, and artwork that are in the party stash. We may as well put that gold to work!

GM, would we need Craft Alchemy to identify the vial of pinkish gas, or would some other skill work?

Adu also has no points in appraise, but she'll try.

Appraise Amethyst Crystal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Appraise Tetrahedite Ore: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Appraise Gold Chalice: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Appraise Jade Figurines: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Appraise Granite Idol: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Appraise Silver Platter: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Appraise Bronze Flagon: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Appraise Dice: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Appraise Rose Gold Figurine: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

...And fail. If it's not books, she's not interested.

Appraise Amethyst Crystal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Appraise Tetrahedite Ore: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Appraise Gold Chalice: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Appraise Jade Figurines: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Appraise Granite Idol: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Appraise Silver Platter:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Appraise Bronze Flagon: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Appraise Dice: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Appraise Rose Gold Figurine: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Just the opposite - metals and gems!

No equipment needed on my part. Can we assume that those with appraise can ID the items during downtime if a take 10 would be enough? Maybe roll once to see how long it takes.

Yes on the Craft Alchemy check, Adu. Athough I think someone tried and failed when you first found it.

I don't think Take 10 or 20 applies to Appraise, as under the skill it states any attempts to retry end with the same result. But, I'll take the highest results out of those who try and factor in Aid bonuses from any others. Basically the total outcome reflects your confidence in the value.

So I'm gonna mark all the nonmagical loot from the bugbears and wyvern as for sale. If you want the magical gear, please speak up. I do think Glor and Hezekh stated they'd like the Belt of Tumbling. Should we have a roll off? We can do it Glass Cannon style and have each of you state your case in character, and I can assign bonuses to your roll based on how convincing you are :)

I'm not that pushed about any of the new magical gear tbh.

I'll be travelling this weekend and I won't be posting again until Monday at least.

Toulbe checks the things with the traveling fam!

Appraise Amethyst Crystal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Appraise Tetrahedite Ore: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Appraise Gold Chalice: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Appraise Jade Figurines: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Appraise Granite Idol: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Appraise Silver Platter: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Appraise Bronze Flagon: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Appraise Dice: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Appraise Rose Gold Figurine: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Glor can take the belt.

The sell list is fine by me though I have no objection to any last minute calls for equipment.

Current sell list is fine by me :)

If we've got an extra thousand gold laying around somewhere, can I gt a +1 on my buckler? It's (relatively) cheap extra AC, which I need. But I've probably already spent better than my share of money, and I'm happy to wait if need be.

Hey sorry for the lag on posting, but life, ya know?

Hezekh, remember we are playing with ABP, so you get armor and weapon attunement +1 at 4th level.

[facepalm] Oh, right.

Just a note. My rate of posting has gotten more erratic lately. It may remain that way for some weeks yet.

Apologies for the delay. Catching up here.

Hey folks. I've been wiped with a cold... then felt rough today. Now I'm awaiting a covid-19 test. I hope to catch up again soon.

Keep us informed and get well soon!

Hope you feel better! Sorry for the delays on my part. Our wedding is this month and its crunch time, and work continues to be a lot. But, I'll get this combat started this week for sure!
