Alexei would second Haste. Anything that gives him a better shot at actually hitting things with his weapon is A-Okay!

As far as the rest of the loot, I don't believe there was anything he specifically wanted. The cash he earns from our assorted selling + our reward is definitely going somewhere, though! :)

Pretty much what Bjorn said. Those are all good.

These are the gauntlets given to Lucius by Father Grimburrow

Blessed Gauntlets
Aura faint evocation; CL 5th
Slot hands; Price 1,008 gp; Weight 2 lbs.
-----
Description
-----
These thick leather gauntlets are created and used by members of the Church of Pharasma. A few pairs are known to exist outside of Church control, but the clergy makes every effort to reacquire them once they are located.

The gauntlets have been dyed with a pale white color and they are very supple, almost as soft and flexible as cloth instead of leather. Each gauntlet has the light spiral of Pharasma sewn into the top of each hand.

Once per day, they can be activated to imbue a held weapon with holy power, affecting it as if under a bless weapon spell. This only affects the weapon while held and ends if the weapon is dropped or disarmed.

If not holding a weapon, the ability affects the unarmed strike of the wearer. If holding two weapons, the wearer picks which weapon is affected for the duration of the effect.

Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, bless weapon; Cost 504 gp

Nifty.

I had a feeling that's what they did from the name, but that's still really awesome.

This regards the Sun Tattoos on your arms:

Sun Tattoo of Sarenrae
Aura faint conjuration; CL N/A
Slot N/A; Price N/A; Weight --
-----
Description
-----
This small tattoo of a sun appears as a blessing for one who provides some service that is pleasing to Sarenrae or one of Her Emissaries. These tattoos cannot be created by mortal magic, and there is no known way to transfer them to another creature once given short of powerful magic.

The tattoo functions in one of two ways:

The first is if a person bearing the tattoo is near death, the power stored in the tattoo causes them to recover, effectively stabilizing them before they die. A character who loses enough hit points to drop below their Constitution score is immediately stabilized and restored to -1 hit point.

The second way it functions is the character can choose to expend the power stored in the tattoo for an additional +20 on any d20 roll. This is an additional sacred bonus and does not replace the actual die roll.

If used in either of these two ways, the tattoo fades, though a faint outline always remains.

This is the version that Alexei received.

Greater Sun Tattoo of Sarenrae
Aura faint conjuration; CL 6th
Slot non; Price 1,008; Weight --

This version of the Sun Tattoo operates exactly like the standard version except in the following ways:

The bearer can choose to use the stabilization power on another person by touching them. The target must be unconscious and dying, but does not need to be at their negative Constitution score.

Additionally, the tattoo's powers can be used once per month. If not used, however, that opportunity is lost - the powers reset at the end of each month.

This version of the tattoo never fades, and is unable to be removed except by a miracle, wish, or similar spell.

...wow. That's pretty amazing.

Okay, so out of the loot recovered from Harrowstone, Korvus is keeping the Amulet of Lesser Metamagic - Extend and the Mithril Dagger +1. Please count these against my gold payout.

Of the items for sale in Ravengro, Korvus will purchase the Scroll of Mount (24 gp) and the Scrolls of Acid Arrow and Locate Object (143 gp each, so 286 gp for the pair) and scribe these into his spellbook.

Waiting to see what Korvus' final payout from the loot is before deciding how much to spend on scroll-scribing supplies and whether to purchase any other items in Ravengro.

From Adivion Adrissant's spellbook, Korvus will copy Fly and Haste.

Korvus will ask Father Grimburrow to cast Masterwork Transformation on his hanbo.

I have updated the Master Loot list for the treasure gained in the adventure. I would appreciate everyone taking a look and letting me know if there are any issues. Be sure to look at both tabs - the second tab contains details about how much gold everyone gets. I am not including any marketplace purchases (like scrolls) in those totals.

If there are no problems, then we're good to proceed. I have two more transition posts to make, but they will be posted tomorrow, along with the plan for moving into the new adventure.

In other news, congrats to Harold for RPG Superstar this year. That's awesome!

Looks good to me, boss!

And congratulations Harold! :)

Major congrats Harold.

The loot looks good. Also, your spreadsheet skills are humbling.

Thirded on the congrats.

From the stuff available in Ravengro, I would like to buy:

Scroll of Bless 24
Scroll of Make Whole 143
Scroll of Remove Paralysis 143
Scroll of Resist Energy 143
Upgrading my Crossbow to +1 2000 (If possible)
2553 Spent.

And does anyone want to chip in for the partially charged wand of Cure Moderate Wounds? That would be really useful.

Thanks guys, means a lot. :)

And Harold will get both Pain and Suffering (his Brass Knuckles) hit with Masterwork Transmutation (one free (I guess the 300gp material component was included in that?) and other for (2 x Grimburrow's caster level x 10 + 300gp) and then if able another 6,000gp to get both of them enchanted with +1 (2k for silver knuckles, 4k for cold iron knuckles).

Harold can have Bjorn's Masterwork Transformation, he doesn't need it.

Unless he can make Alexei's Holy Symbol masterwork (I don't even know if this would actually do anything, but it's the kind of decision he'd make) I'd be willing to lend my Masterwork Transformation to someone else, as well.

Congrats, Harold! Well done!

With respect to the partially charged Wand of Cure Moderate Wounds, Korvus is willing to chip in on the cost.

So Korvus is willing to chip in. Anyone else? I think I'll spend my masterwork transformation on a nifty sling for those pesky skeletons.

Bjorn will chip in as well.

How much was it again? Because I do believe Alexei would definitely chip in for it, I'm just trying to figure out how many neat toys Alexei can buy once we get to Lepidstadt. :)

I totally just realized that Alexei could make his Crossbow masterwork... but I've never used the damn thing. Not wanting to bother with shooting into melee penalties and stuff, I'll probably just keep the normal one around for fighting flying targets.

It would be 325 gold each.

You could make your armor masterwork so you can enchant it. Yea, it would be 325 if we all chip in.

Naw, I'm totally buying a +1 Breastplate when we get somewhere I can buy one.

The Scale Armor has always just been a hold-over until I could get a Breastplate. ;)

K, you could upgrade your crossbow or a secondary melee weapon in that case.

Sorry for the delay, sick in bed all day yesterday and just now feeling better.

I'll have the remaining IC posts up tonight, as well as any changes to the treasure list. As of now, I'm going to list the wand of CMW as party loot and deduct the cost from everyone.

Just so everyone knows, the story won't advance much between Ravengro and Lepidstadt. I'll do my best to have a marketplace inventory up for Lepidstadt tonight as well.

I'm working on the treasure list and the Lepidstadt market, but it will be tomorrow.

Let me know if there are any questions about the two IC posts I finished tonight.

If possible, Korvus will purchase 750 gp-worth of scroll scribing supplies from Alendru Ghoroven, and scribe several scrolls during the month spent in Ravengro before the party heads to Lepidstadt.

Not a problem, Korvus, he's happy to get the business.

Also, I'm not seeing a wand of CMW on the treasure list. I see a wand of cure light wounds, but not moderate. Am I missing it?

Finally, I've pretty much finished the Lepidstadt marketplace and I should be able to post it tonight.

You mentioned it here.

Ah, got it now, I was only looking at the loot you found, not the Ravengro marketplace list. Everyone's treasure has been updated with the Wand of CMW purchase.

I'll upload the Lepidstadt marketplace in a bit. I'm using the basic structure for Item availability in a small city. I'm not entirely happy with some of the distributions, but overall, I think it's good first effort. Let me know if something seems out of place, or if there are not enough or too many of a particular item.

Generally speaking, assume there are multiple items available of the total cost is less than 4,000 gp. All the items that cost more than 4,000 gp are the only ones available.

I have to say, I really like the predetermined marketplace idea.

Just say no to magic item walmarts!

Well I guess I can just swim in all my money then if I can't spend it on anything. I guess I need to have a giant vault built on my farmstead.

There's lots of great stuff in there for everyone. What are you complaining about?

Not everyone. I guess I can just load up on pearls of power.

As long as I can burn all of my cash on a headband and a new suit of armor, I'll be happy. :3

Well there's 4 different types of breastplate for you to choose from.

Lucius, what would you like?

Some useful cleric scrolls would have been nice. But it's not a big deal. I can just buy their supply of pearls of power 1. I was just commenting on the flaw of the predetermined marketplace. In this case, I'm the one left holding my money with not a whole lot to do with it.

Can I see about commissioning a mithral version of the armor I'm wearing and will it take less than 2 years to craft it?

It's not ideal but that's some of the magic of finding magic items.

I'd like to get a mithril agile breastplate but there's plenty there for Bjorn to spend his coin on. Not everything needs to be perfect.

***

I remember, in my first 2e campaign, finding a +1 insect bane short sword. It was not ideal at all for my fighter but it was still so awesome! I miss the days of finding magic items and being excited.

You kids these days are so spoiled by your video games and your rock and roll...

/oldman

Back in my day, we used to have to roll real dice at a table! uphill both ways!

But in all seriousness, I am okay with anything as long as I get to keep playing Alexei. ;)

I'm not saying we should find everything we want. But the amount of useful things to buy vary due to the random nature of it. In this case, you don't have enough money to buy all the stuff you can use. Brawling armor, Brawler's armbands, and a strength belt? It might as well been called Bjorn-mart.

======

I've had my own experience just using whatever I found, in my first 1e homegame, I was gifted a +1 Orc bane broadsword. I was an orc killing machine.

I'm okay with Bjorn-mart as long as I can collect royalties.

Also, it's worth noting that the brawler enchant can only go on light armor. That's why Bjorn's on the lookout for mithril agile breastplate.

That sounds awesome! So why the sudden need for Martha Stewart's place of business?

Because rapid reload only applies to a single weapon. And I don't want to wear the same armor everyone else does.

So I totally realized the list went up while I wasn't paying attention, and I have to admit that I will likely be saving most of my money, too. Oh well, I guess I'll just get a +1 Breastplate and +1 Heavy Shield and start saving for my next new toy.

Too bad I can't use that Earthbreaker, it's my favorite weapon in PF. :)

Okay, couple things. So I get what is on the list is all that is available, but can we not get masterwork items enchanted? All the wizards grouchy pants?

Also, on the list of weapons, I see 3,300+ gp on the top of the first column. Are they really 150% cost over normal market prices?

Hmmm... About the only thing I'm really looking for now is a Handy Haversack. However, that Wand of Magic Missiles (5th level = 3 missiles per charge!) looks tempting, as does the 1st level Pearl of Power.

I will also be purchasing another spring-loaded wrist sheath.

Also, on the list of weapons, I see 3,300+ gp on the top of the first column. Are they really 150% cost over normal market prices?

I imagine that's a typo. I'm guessing it's supposed to be 2300+.

Should we post our purchases here or RP them out?

Purchase here, please.

The 3,300+ and the brawling armor are indeed errors. I built a model to create the market and it's got a couple of bugs. I'll fix those today.

The lack of divine scrolls is my mistake. I was watching Tron and didn't copy everything over properly. More scrolls are incoming.

As for other items (Lucius' armor, enhancement for masterwork items, some additional items for sale), let's get into the adventure and see what happens. What I posted is what's available to the general public. You guys have two important contacts in the city, and they know "people".

Purchases for Alexei once we reach Lepidstadt!

6033g (Total Funds) - 1500g (+1 Breastplate) - 1170g (+1 Heavy Steel Shield) - 600 (2 Potions of Remove Paralysis) = 2763g left.

I figure he can sell his old armor and shield, too, right? Because that'd be an extra 35g.

Bjorn will pick up the belt of strength +2 and the bracers of the brawler.

-4500gp total
