Insert malevolent muah ha ha-ing and finger steepling
I sure the I'll be able to figure something out.
Why do I sense that instead of "scouting ahead" or being "sneaky" I'm going to be "kidnapped" or otherwise "indisposed."

I am still here, just quiet because I am not really party to the goings on. Once we move into an area more in keeping with Ezra, she will be loud and proud again. Also I will be gone for severl days over the holidays. (23-28 of December) but I will have my laptop and will post as i can.

Sir loot keeper, Can I get a list of Party Loot that headed my direction? I seem to have been negligent in adding it to my character sheet. I blame my gimp slave. Always messing up. I will flog him in the morning.
| DM Heterocephalus |
a surggestion DM, since we have a Summoner in the group tough might wanna add 1-2 more CR and max out the life of the monsters. Same prob I have with my group when I DM.
| Sir Leon Blackmane |
So far ARC has been pretty good at making us feel like we're about one bad roll away from dying.
This one was easier than his usual, and I think was designed to be. I'm sure things will ramp up when we get to the ruins.
If things need to be made harder, maxing HP is a good way to go. Please don;t just add HD though. That increases too many other variables also.
| Ezra Savet |
So, I am posting a suggestion to use summoner pets v. witch pets because they last longer, and because they are ability summon, not spell slot summons. Not sure how much of summoner class features are common knowledge, so . . . disregard if inappropriate.

Sorry about infrequent updates and answers lately. Ive been dealing with a bad cold on top of preparing for christmas and work. Hopefully everything will settle down before new years but I doubt i will have any chance to post between the 24th and the 26th due to six christmases in six cities. Appologies in advance.
| Ezra Savet |
I have a 200 mile drive Sunday to get to Christmas with the in-laws. Monday, a 90 mile drive for Christmas with the Grandparents, then another 90 miles Wednesday (Back to the in-laws), 160 miles on Thursday (Daughter's orthodontics appointment), then 200 miles on Saturday to get us all home. Posting will be erratic at best.
Yay Holidays!
| Sir Leon Blackmane |
Loot time! Just in time for Christmas.
For you new folks, our method of dividing things up has been pretty simple. Basically we give appropriate things to the people who need them most/are best suited for them. We don't bother with making sure everyone's gear cost exactly matches everyone else's.
For items everyone can use we look at the party's weaknesses and give the item to the person who is weakest in the area the item covers.
For cash gems, or items no one has use for, we liquidate them and divide up the money equally, adding in a share for a 'party fund' which Krovax is keeping track of.
I've marked off the list by type with my suggestions for doling them out. Speak up if you disagree or have other suggestions.
Single-Use items
Arcane Scroll, Mnemonic enhancer {4th/7th} Ezra. (best spell list of those with the necessary UMD)
Arcane Scroll, Fireball {3rd/5th} Aluria (Best UMD, needs some ranged/AoE offensive options)
Arcane Scroll, Protection from energy {3rd/5th} Krovax (only one in the party who can cast it as an arcane spell)
Arcane Scroll, Sleet storm {3rd/5th} Ezra (a witch spell, and she needs some offense options)
Potion of Shield of faith {1st/1st} Shadow (has no magic defenses yet)
Potion of Keen edge {3rd/5th} Shadow (most attacks, best crit range)
Gear

Long-bow

Greetings fellows; just letting all my games know that I'm going on a camping thing for three days, starting tomorrow. There's a goodly chance I'll still have internet access but I may not, so I thought I should let you all know in case my posts slow down.
Happy new years, everyone!
| Sir Leon Blackmane |
If we could get our hands on the corpse of one of more of those drakes, could Mordecai animate them?
having an un-fatigable water drake to tow the boat might come in really handy.
Dreadmaul could probably help with that too.

Updated my Character sheet, added the Cloak of Resistance +2. SOrry that took so long, I couldn't remember which item I had gotten from the group loot, and a lot of discussion to wade through.
| Sir Leon Blackmane |
They are getting one half shares, between them, once they get through the first ziggurat (and an additional half share for each additional one)
Right now, they get nothing but what I've already paid them.
| Shadow Mantis |
I added the potions with my name on them in the loot to my character sheet. I'll also note that I have UMD for any items that might not fit perfectly with others abilities.
He would also take the sealing wax to put with his forgery kit if no one else wanted it.
| Krovax Draverian |
I too have removed the scroll marked as mine as well as the sealing wax Shadow requested. Also the gear Leon stated for himself. As others post that they have added the gear to their characters, I will remove it from the party fund.

DM, is the cough occasional or do I think it's going to hinder my scouting?
Once I have an idea of how bad the cough is then I'll make the decision on whether to use one of the vials.
| Shadow Mantis |
I was just trying to make sure the path was clear, not run off on a solo adventure. :P
I'm happy not to run out in front, its always safest to scout from the middle of the party. :)
