Me either.
I am headed out to Dragon Con tomorrow afternoon for some much needed down time. Might not be available til next Tuesday but will try to post if needed.
First I have seen the greater it but its pretty nice.
It is cool. But it's 12,000 bucks. Dang that's a lot of cash.
@Elrys: Oh my gosh, where do find these items?! :)
Never heard of "Sleeves of Many Garments" either. I guess that's what I get for NEVER using Disguise. Well, I did once, but we just used a hat. (A 'circlet' it was described as I should say).
But outside of that, never.
They're pretty nifty, especially for infiltration missions :) Even if you're spotted, changing almost your entire appearan on a whim is just so, so nice. Or even just for general adventuring; donning the garments of any random cultists movement you happen to encounter, whenever and forever? Sold. Definitely for just 200 gold!
Also, I never bought a greater hat of disguise either. But the +10 disguise from having a polymorph effect along with a permanent +2 bonus to either strength or dexterity, potentially small size too and darkvision or rare movement methods from permanent alter self, is a pretty good deal for 12 k I'd say. Especially if we all have like 40k to spend.
When everybody has finished shopping and is ready to continue let me know.
Things I would like to buy/upgrade:
Upgrade smart armour +3 to +5 - 8000gp
Upgrade chainsaw +3 to +4 - 7000gp
Upgrade amulet of natural armour +2 to +3 - 5000gp (Dilana, are you OK to help me out with this?)
Hat of disguise - 1800gp
Glove of storing - 10000gp
Goggles of night - 12000gp
That leaves me with just short of 24k for sundries.
You're having too much fun with that Chainsaw.
I am okay with moving onward, though i'm also fine with roleplaying out the forge scene with Raktar. Elrys would probably take him to the metalworks. I assume as a novice siegecrafter she's been there quite a bit.
I have a bit to spend but wont get to it until tomorrow or the next day. Nothing major, Hat of Disguise is one of them and then some little shit.
Yes Raktar she will work on that.
Okay, since nobody wants anything Technological, Luthor is going to make some techie stuff.
Do we have access to a military lab?
If there is access, this is fixing to get real interesting. I'm bringing the pain if he does have it! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Okay, I'm done. :)
Oh man, how cool would it be to have multiple commsets? (AKA walkie-talkies). That'd be cool. Except they're 6000 bucks each. Ugh. No thanks.
I'm happy if you wish to do some more roleplaying.
@Javell. You do have a military lab available, back in the Scar of the spider.
But that's not here, correct? Because that's what I need to make stuff.
What about a production lab? Do we have one of those?
I need a Production lab and a Military Lab. Is it possible to make it to both of those and make stuff?
If the military lab is in the Spider, does that mean we'd have to teleport back?
Elrys cab teleport you to the lab, but Dilana would need to teleport us back when we're done.
Thanks Dilana.
I'm happy to roleplay some stuff for a little while Dilana finishes sorting out purchases.
@Javell. There are no labs where you are. Remember you teleported out of Numeria to Mendev. A country more concerned with fighting Demons and Devils than technology.
Finally making my decisions BUT the Hat of Disguise makes D a little short for the final item. Anyone want to give a small loan?
Definite Purchase:
Hat of Disguise $1,800
Wish Purchase:
Goggles of Night $12,000 - If someone would loan Dilana $1400gp. She is good for it!
@Dilana: I'll give it to you. :) I didn't realize there were no labs here. I've got nothing else to spend my cash on. :P
Dilana can work anywhere, she just needs the materials. Simple enough to get what we need and teleport I would think.
Just do what my live group did. Use a Stone shape spell to seal the entrance to the complex in the Machine caves. Switch off the power using defenses and you have a lab usable as both a production and military lab.
Even if you're not making anything you can recharge anything you have that uses charges.
Sorry, got home late and have to head out again. No update tonight.
Not feeling too well tonight. No update I'm afraid.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
Still feeling like crap.
Sorry to hear about that, DBH. That sucks. Get to feeling better soon, bud.
Everybody done their shopping and ready to move out?
I'm done yes.
Yep, ready to go.
Yes. As long as what I wanted to buy was available.
Same as Olimpia.
Also, I don't remember how to handle the skill bonuses from the Headband of Vast Intellect. Do you assign the skills or shall I pick?
@Dilana. You can pick the skill since you're buying it.
Things I forgot to ask, how are you getting to Starfall and are you asking anyone about it or the Technic league?
The league didn't exist before Casandalee left Starfall, so she can't tell you much. There are others you could talk with though. Khonnir Baine for one.
Olimpia is more confident with her new ability to change her appearances. She was never conspicuous about being an android but since she is wanted by the League she chooses to change her appearance to that of a young human woman that vaguely resembles herself. Wearing this new face she is happy to go about the town and shop and help gather information.
No time to update tonight sorry.
Family meal so no update tonight.
That red card is going to come in handy. It's like better than at least 4 other cards.
So who's gonna snag the laser pistol? It's an alright weapon. We may need it for something, I don't know. If not, sell it the next chance we get I guess.
Sorry, no update tonight.
Got home late & tired. No update sorry.
I seem to have picked up a cold from somewhere? The weather is getting warmer so of course I'm sniffing and coughing. No update sorry.
Ugh. What a beating. Colds suck. Such a miserable feeling. I ORDER you to get better asap, DBH. :)
Still not feeling too well. Have another night off.
Try it again, Olimpia. I used a different link. That's weird. It works for me just fine I wonder why it doesn't work for you? Odd. I don't really get computers and their weird ways, so, I've got no idea why.
Anyway, maybe it'll work now.
Ok. I've been through the book a couple of times now and it's...awful.
We've reached the one book in the AP that just doesn't work.
The way it's set up you have nothing to do but assault either the Technic league compound, or the Palace of Fallen stars. No other leads or events in the city.
Once you've earned sufficient Notoriety then the local insurgents reach out to you.
It says you can go looking for them first, ignoring the fact that the rebels are mentioned nowhere in any of the previous books.
So I'm going to say you find a boring inn to base yourselves in for a start. Then you almost magically realize that there must be opposition to the league in such a shithole and try to find them.
Diplomacy is your friend. Doing some quiet and polite hinting at one of the night markets will get you leads.

Thanks! As I read your dialogue I was immediately thinking "Did we miss clues to the resistance?"? From all the lead up I have the feeling that any notoriety at all and the League would have rounded us all up. lol
I need to read that whole info dump but work has been rough his week. I might get to it tonight if the kids relax by 15% otherwise it will be this weekend.
Sometimes the AP's do that. One book just kind of sticks out.
If you want to bandaid fix the resistance angle, Elrys' backstory is that she was involved with resistance to the Technic League. Originally I figured those were mostly the Kellid tribes but it'd probably make sense if she had some kind of local contact, or instructions on how to contact them.

That is not a bad idea. You were given a name to try and contact. Mockery is the name of the person you're looking for. Understandably very paranoid so nothing else was given to you aside from the code phrase 'Friends from the front. Drop that into the conversation to let Mockery know you're maybe genuine.
That means you still need to find a night market, once you do drop hints you'd like to met this Mockery. Working that into a converstion will be fun.
Sorry for the partial absense lately, I've been very busy finalising my divorce and it's been eating a lot of my time and energy.
