The Worldwound Incursion (Inactive)

Game Master DireMerc

Thanks guys, you did an awesome job sorting all that out!

Also, while looking back at the thread to double-check the loot, I noticed something...

copper brooch depicting a bat perched on a mushroom- both of the bat's eyes are tiny amethysts

We found that in the place with the huge pile of mongrelmen bones (even if we didn't know those were mongrelmen bones at the time).

The way I see it, it's probable it was some mongrelman's, either a member of the traitor tribe, or an explorer of this town we're in. It's very peculiar, and probably means something, and showing it to a mongrelman (Lann?) could give us valuable information...

Problem is, this is all from metagaming and I don't honestly know if Selka would remember the brooch, since it was pretty insignificant in her eyes at the time.

Now that everyone is trying to decide what to keep and what to sell, Selka would probably notice the brooch again, remember the pile of bones and make the connection... But I'm not comfortable assuming this much, and would love to hear your thoughts (especially yours DireMerc, since you are the GM and all ^_^).

As soon as I get some input, I'll make a post in the gameplay thread!

Are we able to sell the items we don't want/need to mongrelmen for gold at a reasonable price? Or do we need to hold until we get to the service?

I agree that Raven has as indicated. Unless you want to draw lots on the potions etc, she won't claim any. If you want to assign her some, or have her carry for encumberance purposes, that's fine.

there is a trader in town but he is has limited wares and gold, he's also restricted on what will buy. He has little need for jewelry or scrolls for example. you'll need to talk to him to know more.

as for the brooch since you remembered out of game its fine that you remember in game as well varn already posted to this effect and im fine with it

Please note, tomorrow will be another significant travel day for me, and I may be unable to post at all. I should be able to return to routine posting on Monday.

Updated List below, with what I believe is to be sold, and who has what:

Where it says Tessai has this, is simply dotting down a placeholder for the items so that nothing gets lost - correct my assumptions below if necessary, and take your pick for whatever items you think you need.

Tessai is right here is the stuff we found so far.

six scales Magic
I believe these have been assigned

a masterwork backpack that contains
10 trail rations
flint and steel
set of caltrops
2 flasks of oil
Raven has this

9 arrows
I think Raven should carry these

a breastplate with the symbol of the golden eagle -> Should we SELL this?

copper brooch depicting a bat perched on a mushroom- both of the bat's eyes are tiny amethysts
Aeron has this

a knotted gold ring(not magic).
Stayed with the dwarf I believe

masterwork Warhammer
Tessai

dried meat
some water-skins
Not sure exactly if the meat works as rations or not - Tessai will hold on to it, and one waterskin

spare arcane components
two arcane scrolls(?),
a spellbook (can’t believe I forgot this)
3 Arrows
Varn has these

one divine (?)
I think Selka should carry these

a jeweled dagger(magic?) -> Identified as a +1 Dagger - if no one wants it, it should be SOLD

light crossbow -> To be SOLD

7 remaining bolts.
Orlando has these

2 masterwork chain shirt.
Orlando and Raven I believe

2 glaives -> Tessai has both - if no one wants the other one, it can be SOLD

2 spiked gauntlet.
Tessai has both - one is to be SOLD along with her longspear (replaced by a glaive)

small symbol of a brass bull’s head with tiny red gemstone eyes.
Orlando has it

17 gold and 8 platinum.
129 gp.
Tessai can carry these

3 potions of cure light wounds
1 potion of invisibility
2 potion(?) one from bag one from dwarf
two potions of cure light wounds
Left these for last - Tessai will not claim any of these. If they have been claimed, please marked them as so.

After we've ran through the list, we'll check what needs to be sold, and if it...

------------------------------

So list for sale is:

- a breastplate with the symbol of the golden eagle
- a jeweled +1 dagger?
- light crossbow
- 1 glaive
- 1 spiked gauntlet
- 1 longspear
- the armours that Orlando and Raven have replaced with the MW Chain Shirts?

looks good to me.

I was 100% sure someone decided to use the breastplate... Guess I was wrong!

If nobody wants it, I'll take it then. I have a feeling the added protection will come in handy when we reach the surface! O.o

Take it then :D

Tessai had decided not to wear it in the end, because it limits her movement.

Orlando looks around surprised.
"No one can use an enchanted Dagger?" If that is the case, Orlando will snag it.
Nothing like a jeweled dagger to complement a man's wardrobe...

No one asked for anything and its all marked up so I am just selling.

...

(don't know if they agree to this?)

We can sell my old armor.

Also, who wants a nice glowing morningstar, almost-mint condition? ;p

What is your old armor is the main point.

Oh, sorry, it was a normal Chain Shirt!

So chain shirt Selka
Studded leather Orlando
Raven ?

It is almost shameful to speak about this when Tessai already has the Masterwork Hammer.

What are we going to do with the blue shining morningstar? Any of the "frontliners" plan to revert to weapon+shield? If so, it makes sense that other take the morningstar, since I already got the warhammer. If not, I would take the morningstar, and pass the hammer as a secondary weapon for one of the 2h-weapon wielders.

What say you?

I'd be fine with Tessai getting the Morning star. Aeron is all about two handed weapons, since that is the archetype I chose for him.

Absolutely, you can have the morningstar.

But I call dibs on the first magical Longspear we find! ^_^

So chain shirt Selka

Studded leather Orlando
Raven ?

Raven was Leather before getting the chain shirt.

Raven's primary weapon is a morningstar now, by coincidence, but I think Tess will have better claim to the enchanted one. If no one else wants the cast off MW warhammer, Raven can use it just in case things get close later, it'll be a bit of an upgrade. Only if no one else will/can use.

Wanted to drop a line to wish you all a Happy New Year!! Today and tomorrow posting will not come easy, and next weekend the family is going on a snow trip, but I'm still around. Posting will be sparse though, until next Sunday.

Enjoy the holiday everyone!

Happy New Year! ^_^

Tomorrow is the last big travel day of my holiday season. Should be back to normal posting on Saturday. Thanks for your patience.

Dammit! I'm going to get a reputation as a low-grade moron if these rolls keep up...

Dammit! What is wrong with this dice roller?

Tessai is slow to react, but...

Don't forget that if you want Selka can grant a few Init. rerolls a day, thanks to her Tactics domain! You can take one right now if you like. ^_^

Tessai, Why don't you use my reroll ability!

I feel so rejected...

*assumes dramatic pose* ＼(＾A＾)

Oh, the sting! The humiliation! The savage cruelty of it all! Is there no end to my torments!? (´Д｀）/

^_^

Sorry Selka, I feel like I don't want to impose on someone else's ability by saying - "Ok, hit me with Selka's power to reroll Initiative" :D

But don't worry, from now on I'll feel less awkward in asking for a use from it ;)

[btw, that tormented face looks really cool :D]

Anyone have concerns about Raven claiming the composite bow and the magic arrows? Hate to take all if anyone else needs or can use.

Tessai is fine with you taking the bow and arrows.

Am interested in the MW chain shirt, and that's about it ;)

Sure you can have the bow. Now, use it to dispense flying arrows of justice against this demon-worshiping heathens! ;D

Guys we still have here a couple of interesting magic items to assign:

- Wand longstrider 29 charges left
- Wand cure light wounds 12 charges left

These are nice ones.

Selka, you ok if I take the MW chain shirt?

Absolutely!... And besides, there was a dead mongrelman in there not 5 minutes ago, so it's bound to be all sticky and smelly... It's all yours! xD

Uhmm... Wand of cure light wounds, you say? I might just borrow that one and use a charge, if everyone's ok with it. :)

Well, I can operate the wand of cure light, as it's on my spell list. Longstrider is not.

Longstrider is Ranger spell, but i just got the jackpot on weapons, so I am happy to defer to anyone else.

Re-posting this in every game I'm in, since server rollback destroyed my last post:

Due to family issues, health concerns (just a touch of the flu, but still), and a terrible crisis at work all of my time is taken, and I won't be able to consistently be present here on the boards and play.

I'll try my best to write something whenever possible, but at the very least till the 28, when a work deadline I can't possible afford to miss is set, my presence here will be sporadic at best.

I'm deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and I give every GM permission to bot my characters any way the see fit, if the need arises.

Thank you guys, sorry again, and happy gaming! ^_^

Very sorry about this but life has gotten in the way of my enjoyment of these games and I will need to withdraw from all my play by posts.

Sorry to see you go, but understand, Varn. Hope things settle down for you.

Sorry to hear that Varn, good luck with everything.

And good luck as well Selka. Hope everything works out for you as well!

Hang in there Selka - real life is much like an adventure sometimes :D

Do whatever is necessary Varn - good luck and all the best.

Working out a few changes to accommodate varn leaving. The characters will stay the same but the person playing Aeron will play Varn and another player is coming in to play Aeron.

... and low a doppelganger shall appear.

Thanks for letting me step in. It looks like you've been having fun and I look forward to being a part of it.

Aeron's been rebuilt a little bit, but I've kept the same equipment and general play-style. I will also try to hold true to his established personality.

Almost done reworking Varn. Just need to redo spells a little to reflect the arcane school change and pick a feat. After that Varn shall be complete.

alright trow down some in-game post and we will resume

Welcome aboard guys :D

Okay, the new (and improved) Varn is ready to go! Merc, if you want to look over him to make sure everything is acceptable.

Hopefully I have better luck with him than I did with Aeron. Also, I think you guys will appreciate my Void abilities.... 8 times per day I can impose a hefty penalty on an enemy for one round (no save... BOOM!). Penalty equal to 1/2 my level to both AC and saving throws... Oh yeah.

Also, at 8th level I get a nice ability that mimics bard's Inspire Courage, but it's insight so it stacks with IC. I like Void...

Voiding 8x per day sounds like you might need to see a urologist...

Just wanted to point out that Aeron 2.0 has the step up feat, so if the glaive wielder takes a 5 foot step, Aeron gets to follow.

Hey Merc, I just stumbled upon the Spellbinder archetype for elven wizards... I was curious if you'd allow Varn to pick up that archetype sometime?

I was thinking perhaps he comes upon the knowledge of the spellbinding sometime along his travels rather than simply picking up the archetype during a level up. If you'd rather not, that is not a problem.

Aravashnial can teach you this technique. You can gain it at 4th level and bond 2 spells.

He is also going to try and guide you towards a prestige class for wizards designed for this campaign.

Excellent! Ohhhh... PrC you've piqued my interest, Merc!!!

Hey guys, I'm back! ^_^

Wow, there is a metric TON of posts I need to go through before I'm up and running again, might take a little bit...

Anyway, I'm thrilled to be able to play again, and hope I didn't cause too much trouble with my absence.

Glad to haven you back, Selka !

Wohoo! Welcome back Selka - We have just found a magical Glaive ;)
