Just to note, that any weapons for Kristleifur will need to small size. It might affect the cost.
Price: This value is the weapon’s price in gold pieces (gp) or silver pieces (sp). The price includes miscellaneous gear that goes with the weapon, such as a scabbard or quiver. This price is the same for a Small or Medium version of the weapon. A Large version costs twice the listed price.
Fair enough!
If we can do shopping with spoilers, or here, then I am ready to go to Katapesh.
Zyrel wants gun parts, and scroll-makings.
Apologies, I have had a surprise job for the last week, and I was crashing on getting home. Put off posting and then a week had past. Back now
Erick is going to find a Clockwork artisan to make a custom weapon strap. Basically, a coiled cat gut line (like used on a base fiddle) winding around a spring loaded coil. About 4 feet of cat gut (base fiddle string), the spring end attached to his holster, and the end of the line to the ring on his pistol. That way, if he drops his pistol, the coil spring will pull it back up to his holster (won't holster it, obvioulsy, but he won't drop it by accident/on purpose, and it will not trip him up or drag the ground).
Also note, his speed loaders are on twin already, so after he reloads, they drop loose and hang 10 inches down.
Sounds very handy Erick.
I think if the firearms experts are only getting 100 rounds, Zyrel might get that - or less. Especially with the ability to reuse the brass rounds.
Lost some arrows, a few healing kit charges, and a scroll of expeditious retreat
Copying furiously from what Erick said...
+4250 Pay
-1550 Rifle parts
-860 100 round parts
-15 Gunsmith kit
-250 scrolls (see below)
Given the friendliness of the group, Zyrel will offer to scribe for others as well.
He can scribe a 1st level scroll for 25gp. As this is less than 200gp he can do it in 2 hours, which means he could do 4 per day. I remember this being a 10 day trip, so potentially 40. Ideally he'd like 10.
Scroll Options: Expeditious Retreat, True Strike, Mage Armour, Heightened Awareness, Endure Element, Blend. (If someone wants to teach him a different spell, he should be able do that as well)
Zyrel's Scrolls: Expeditious Retreat x2, Blend, Heightened Awareness, Endure Element x3, True Strike x3
Good to know. At 8th level, Erick will begin being able to cast arcane scrolls without using UMD. Doesn't matter what kind of arcane scroll either, so bard scrolls, sorcerer, wizard, mage, any of them, as if he were a 4th level caster. Kind of nice.
Just an FYI to y’all, I’m at PaizoCon for the next few days so my posting availability will be quite decreased.
@Zyrel : one to bear in mind!
@Erick : pretty handy!
@Coyote: Enjoy. :)
@All: My free time is going to be quite limited over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I might be able to post later on over the three days, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to.
Sorry all - if anyone did want scrolls, we should probably resolve it now.
I'm okay for scrolls, thanks!
Unfortunately, I won't get a post in tonight.
Just so you all know, I won't be available much at all on Friday, and a limited amount on Saturday and Sunday.
I've a brutal headache. I'll get back to posting when I replace that with free time.
Just an FYI, I’ll be without signal for a few days, so I’ll update on Wednesday evening.
Duly noted!
This is a post I've been putting off making, but It's better now than later.
I've been offered an internship in the Sierras, working to restore damaged environmental sites. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, and one I really can't see myself passing up.
Unfortunately, that means that from July 23 to August 23, I'll be unable to post at all, as access to any sort of internet will be either infrequent or nonexistent.
That said, I have every intention of continuing the game once I'm back, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible.
For those that don't want to stick around, I understand. I'll be starting a few games once I return, and I'll be sure to let you know.
For those that do want to continue with me, feel free to ask me any questions, and work out how we want to handle this.
Obviously, you take the internship.
I enjoy this campaign, and I'm willing to wait now that we have notice.
I agree with Kristleifur - if it means this much to you, you have to take the internship. I think you are wise to assume no access, and to raise the issue in advance.
I have been in games that have gone on hiatus before, and with a well defined 'gap' they recover well.
I can wait. Enjoying the game thus far, and pbp is a slow burn anyways
Just disappearing without warning perturbs people a lot more than a clear heads up.
Apologies everyone.
I need to bring you up to date.
So, as you all know, new job.
Project is in a very bad spot since mid June.
My project lead quit a few weeks ago, and I got to take over. The new guy, is now the project lead. (I'm the only non-contractor on the project, so I'm the lead).
I'm working 50-60 hour weeks, and get pulled into 30 minute meetings that take 3-6 hours.
Basically, I'm so overloaded that I can't think straight.
So, my posting ability may be a bit.. erratic for a month or so. I'll try to keep up.
So, as far as I'm concerned, I'm perfectly fine with the GM taking a month off, I could use the break.
Take the time you need, real life comes first. Glad that some time off will take some pressure off of you.
Hilariously I have a biannual major workshop to prepare for, a paper to write, and the commencement of my masters in the hiatus period. I'd cope, but I'm not as upset with the idea of a break as I might otherwise be ;)
Incidentally, I might have issues a day or two before the hiatus as I will be travelling.
That's totally alright, I've got an IRL PF game and I'll likely be frantically packing.
Take care all!
A heads up. My phone is currently dead (loose connector), so I'll be slower to respond than usual. Hopefully back to working order tomorrow.
Well, this is likely my last opportunity to post before I head off. It’s been a pleasure running the game for you all so far, and I hope it won’t be too long of a wait. I’ll see you folks on August 23rd!
All the best!
See you :)
See you in a month!
I’m back y’all! I’ll have a post up tomorrow, but I’m fairly wiped today and won’t be home for a bit.
:)
Fair!
Welcome back!
I think it might be good if someone kicks the front door in - from a distance, ideally - at the same time as we kick the back door in.
Hopefully they'll then all blast the front while some of us come in the back and catch them in the crossfire.
That said... this might be getting too tactical! Bash in the door for surprise is probably a great plan as well, and doesn't have us holding off longer.
Whatever we go with, I'm good.
Kristleifur would go along with either. His inclination is to go for the reckless approach. ;)
Charge!
Been a bit, so I want to make sure I have it straight in my head :
1) Our actual employers don't care about Pesh.
2) Our actual employers want to know where Slag is coming from.
3) Our erstwhile employers are Pesh dealers, who also deal in Slag.
4) These numbskulls were hired to hit the Pesh shipments so more Slag would get sold.
5) Logically, the person hiring them to hit Pesh shipments is the person selling Slag to our erstwhile employers. In other words, the Slag person is screwing over his own distributors to put out more Slag.
6) Our Erstwhile employers will be royally pissed when they hear that the person slagging them over (pun intended) is their own business partners. Ergo, grabbing this guy who hired these idiots, and bringing him and them to our Erstwhile employers gets two birds with one stone, cuts down on the Slag shipments (once it gets out our Slag dealer is screwing his own distributors over, his distributors will bail), and we get a crew in the Pesh distributor's business that owes us a favor for saving their lives, which may come in handy down the road (and whom we can hand over to our bosses as a connection in this Pesh house, in case they need it to get info)?
I *think* that sounds correct. Nicely put together Erick. We may have a very tidy end to this mission.
You’ve got most of it right. The Pactmasters (the leaders of the Tetrad on Golarion) are quite involved in the Pesh trade. Slag is both cheaper and significantly more dangerous, so they want it dealt with. Your job is to make sure that Slag is no longer on the market.
Sounds like a good summation
Nice summary :)
I may not get to post again before Friday evening.

Worldbuilder's Toolkit 6 on Bundle of Holding has some handy tools such as Hex Kit for mapmaking:
Adventurer! This Worldbuilder's Toolkit 6 is our sixth annual bargain-priced collection of world creation tools for your tabletop roleplaying campaigns.

So it seems as if we’ve lost Erick. Any objections to reopening recruitment to find a new frontliner?
Hmmm - mdt is an old timer, and has been around for a decade - might be worth a PM, if you haven't already.
On the other hand, yeah, I can see the need to keep moving.
Definitely PM mdt first.
But we should keep moving and if there's no response from mdt, look for one or more players.
