Quick update for all of my campaigns. I'll be on vacation from the 8th to the 23rd with limited or no internet access, so probably won't be able to update at all during that time. Please feel free to control me as needed, and see you all when I return. :D
Alright, the loot page should be updated, and there is a whole bunch of stuff to sort through. I assume that Almathea will probably want to keep all of the arcane scrolls and wands (and possibly the spellbook?), but she hasn't officially claimed them.
If there is anything else anyone wants to keep, speak now, or forever hold your peace!
Also keep in mind that if someone wants the spear, but would prefer it to be a shortspear or longspear, that can be arranged.
What does that spear do?
And didn´t we find a quarterstaff?
I might be interested in that for a melee weapon if we don´t find a better use for it.
Did Leto get the cold iron arrows?
@Leto: Check the list of items on the 'archaeological discoveries' page. It lists all items kept by PCs since the start of the campaign, and all items that have been found on the current delve.
Well, that's the end of the first book! I'll have a post up later today that starts the second and starts to bring in our new player!
Please, check over the loot and figure out who wants what. There are a significant amount of masterwork items as well as magical items . Oh, something that I failed to note: Both of the magical quarterstaves are made from darkwood and styled in the same manner as the masterwork one later found. That is, that they are covered in arcane runes and symbols of Nethys.
The characters are now level 4. Go ahead and level up. I'll have a post up shortly about what happens when you arrive back in town.
@Setesh: Thanks!
And woohoo lvl 4. He has knowledge history, nobles and religion to contribute besides high perception and sense motive now.
It´s good to be back and thanks a lot for running this GM Listener!
Other loot and leveling stuff:
I have no overview at the moment on how much gold or stuff we got and how it´s shared. Would be nice if you fill me in there.
Other than the mw longbow Leto currently has more or less his level 1 equipment and ~1.5k gold :)
He could use the spear, but not really flurry with it.
Could flurry with a quarterstaff though.
Overall, a magical bow might soon be better^^
@Leto: At present, the way we have been doing it, is people take what they can use, and then whatever is left is liquidated, and the resulting gold split between all party members.
Thanks, i remember that much^^
How´s it at present? We got any more gold since whenever it was last?
I think we didn´t have a chance to go to the city and sell stuff, did we?
Sorry i don´t remember.
Anyway won´t be important before we get an ingame chance to buy and sell things.
Was there by any chance a mw longbow with a STR rating of +3?
You haven't had a chance to sell things yet, at least from your latest venture. The game thread has been updated with the latest turn of events. If you wish to buy stuff you may. And if you wish to sell things, you're welcome to, though note that selling will give you far less value right now.
@Leto: We have yet to split any loot since we visited the manor. I too feel your pain - being level 4 with approximately 1.6k of loot to my name feels wrong...
@GM Listener: How much less than the standard '50% of market value' can we expect to get for our items, so that we know how much we have to split?
You can sell anything in the bazaar for 25% value (as opposed to the normal 50%). Trade goods can be sold for 75% of value (as opposed to the normal 100%.) Or wait until the auction and hope to sell for the regular value (at least, that seems to be the intent of the auction at the moment.)
As I noted earlier, the markets have plenty of stuff, so if you're looking for something you're bound to find it now.
Level 4:
+7 hp
+1 BAB
+1 Fort, +1 Ref
+1 Strength
Skills: +1 Appraise, +1 Craft(Alchemy), +1 Disable Device, +1 Knowledge(Arcana), +1 Knowledge(Nature), +1 Perception, +1 Profession(Embalmer), +1 Spellcraft
Spell Slots: +1 1st, +1 2nd
Discovery: Preserve Organs (25% chance to ignore crits and sneak attack)
Almathea will take the following items off of the loot list:
Darkwood Quarterstaff
Pearl of Power
Spellbook
Almathea will toss the Tablet of Languages Lost back into the loot list.
As a reminder, the spellbook contains: acid arrow, glitterdust, mirror image, burning hands, color spray, magic missile, ray of enfeeblement, charm person, invisibility, warding weapon, infernal healing, silent image, disguise self, and all wizard cantrips.
@Almathea: Just to clarify, is that one, or both, Pearls of Power?
At the moment, just one. If Nevai doesn't take the other one, then I will take both.
I will be buying and scribing a couple of spells from that spellbook we took into mine.
Acid Arrow
Invisibility
Infernal Healing
You can take ten on the spellcraft rolls and the materials will cost a total of 90gp. You can get it all done in one day as well (5 hours).
Assuming we call the spear a longspear, I'll take that. I'd actually use it, though if someone is dead set on fighting with a spear of another kind, I'd say go for it.
I'm perfectly happy with the spear being a "shortspear", "spear", or "longspear". It would be silly to lose the opportunity to use a cool item because of a distinction like that. So, if you'd like it to be a longspear, that's what it is.
Any more loot discussion? I know Nevai is on vacation for a few weeks. I'd suggest holding on to the second Pearl of Power for him, but it doesn't look like there's much else in the stash that he'd be interested in.
Leto will stock up on arrows and buy 50 cold iron arrows in addition to the fix on his bow.
Alright, the tracking sheet has been updated with the Erei/Nevai/Almathea dibs.
What's the plan?
I've got +6 or +7 (after level up) for diplomacy however that helps. Good luck guys :D
My plan is to observe the horrid tomb raiders and decide which to Judge first... j/k
I would lend my Diplomacy bonus, but I don't know the group yet.
There's still some info to find out about the other people present.
On a separate note: I'd like to try to get posting rates up a bit higher as I'm not sure we'll be able to keep going if this rate stays as it is. Do people need a break? Is there something I could be doing? It seems like it's taking a few pokes for people to make a post and that's been going on for a while now. What do I need to do on my end to fix that?
Not sure, but i´m in 3 PbP campaigns and all are like this at the moment.
In 2 i´m even one of the more present posters right now.
Guess there´s just such phases from time to time.
What all 3 have in common right now though is, that they have a phase where it´s a little sandboxy. That seems to generaly go a bit slow.
If in doubt, as a GM, i would say give some more clear opportunities to do something, more something of a multiple choice than complete freedom.
That helped me as a GM immensely in the past in similar situations.
Still love this game :D
I am being quiet at present, because there is not really anything for me to contribute - Setesh doesn't really 'do' social encounters.
I am definitely still monitoring the thread, though :-)
I'm in Japan :D
Back home now, and I've leveled up:
+1 WIS
+7 HP
+1 Level 1 and 2 spell slots (adding Remove Fear and Light Prison to my standard load out)
+1 rank in Kn. Arcana, Kn. Planes, Diplomacy
Skyblazer became an animal companion (instead of a purchased falcon), though he's still on surveillance duty until level 5 when I can get Boon Companion and bring him up to respectable levels.
Here's my current (fragile) falcon stats.
Updated character sheet with +1 longbow and mw temple sword.
Still money left, also short a feat.
Taking suggestions.
Could someone clean up the loot sheet, please? Thanks!
My apologies everyone, my laptop decided to Brick on me last week. I have cobbled together a desktop using an old system I had in my attic and some spare parts from friends. I am now back up and running and will be posting shortly. Sorry for the disappearance.
That sounds terrible! Hope things are at least slightly better now!
Sorry for the delay, I had my own major computer issue and have been posting from work or phone for the last two days. Which made it difficult to update the game. But, I should be all set now!
Going to give Assam some time to post. I realize it's the holidays, so if we don't get any more posts I'm in no rush! :)
On this note: Happy holidays!
Speaking of looting the bodies, can anyone access the loot list?
Nope.
So...I guess the question is, what's going on. Setesh? I believe you set up the loot sheet. What's up? I'm still a little unclear what was going on in that last fight.
I cannot access it either. He seemed to have left that last fight, no idea if that meant his character was leaving the game or not.
Yeah, pretty odd.
Well, I'm not too sure what to do about that. I guess, given it's the holidays, I'll give it a bit more time and see what's going on. In the meantime, if you'd like to interrogate your prisoner, he'll wake up shortly.
Hrm...still no word? What would people like to do? I'm fine with waiting till after the weekend, but I'm also okay with moving on and hoping that things get cleared up as we go.
