Ah.
Believe me, I know that feel.
We did, didn't we?!
I'm happy with the way this played out. Obviously, I would have preferred to catch Tsuto, but it's a change from combat (which is also fun, but can be a bit one-dimensional, as GM Cat says). And there's nothing better than an evil NPC who keeps popping up as a foe.
Except a dead evil NPC who was a foe!
What? I'm petty and slothful somedays ;)
We'll get him, eventually! :) And it'll feel awesome when we do!
And his little dog too!

Happy birthday to one of the best darn GMs I've ever had the pleasure of playing with! XD

Hey! Happy "You continue to stay alive" day! :) Enjoy yourself!
I hope it was a fun one, DM Cat!
Happy birthday, here's hoping we all make it to the singularity.
Nicat, I've been meaning to ask--did you update your character sheet to Level 3?
Wow, I'm glad you asked that. I updated him in Hero Lab (a couple of months ago...) and I thought I updated the alias, but I never did! I'll try to do that earlier today, still traveling with family.
I wondered why our halfling came up a bit... short ;)
Wait, did we hit level 3 and I missed it!?
I believe that we did, Conner.
DM Cat - what's our financial situation? I think I got stuck in leveling up because I wasn't sure about what gear to buy, and I failed to follow up on the question. Nicat's total gear value at the moment is 45 gp, it would be nice to buy some better gear but I'm not sure how much we have to spend.
I do remember you guys pawned Erylium's dagger (the tiny +1 returning one) and used the proceeds to buy a wand of CLW for yourselves. So, that's about 5,000 GP - 750 = about 4,250 GP to divvy amongst yourselves.
Okay, I'll try to spend 850 gp on stuff. And I'm hoping we'll get a little closer to WBL soon (i.e., 3000 gp for level 3). I don't like to be a pain about such things, and I even enjoy the challenge (heck, I didn't even level up my character...), but it's also nice to have appropriate gear.
Alright--I'll work to remedy the WBL as soon as possible.
Alias is updated with some fun stuff - a couple of MW items, some alchemical doodads and a juggler's kit!
Forgive the whining about WBL, it's counter to my nature.
Speak of which we never did catalogue the loot from our little dungeon crawl.
Sorry about my posting rate dropping off. I've been going through a bit of a burnout on RPGs and I've been trying to get motivated to post again. I'll have something up for you guys soon.
Inspiration needed eh?
We can ask the halfling and dwarf to sing a duet for your amusement?
Eep! I-I'll get to work right now!
Eep! I-I'll get to work right now!
Bwahaha! :P
Darn. I was really looking forward to Nicat&Eostre's take on "Anything you can do I can do better" :)
I'd like to think that Nicat and Eostre have complementary strengths, and would never enter into competition with each other. But Eostre would certainly be driven crazy by the proposed duet far more quickly than Nicat would. I'm not sure who would be judged the winner in such a contest however.
Gang – I’m entering a busy, unpredictable phase at work and wanted to give you a heads up. My posting will have to slow down, but I’ll keep it up as well as I can.
And thus one of my shortcomings as a GM is highlighted--I'm not the best person to talk to when it comes to balancing loot payouts.
How about this. We all figure the value of the stuff we have, and you tell us what we need to reach WBL, and behold! The armory just happens to have the stuff we say we want in the discussion thread.
That's what I was thinking as well. Thanks. :)
I think we lost track of the loot we found under Chopper's Isle too.
Ok. Not sure what Ekan needs most, now that he has his crossbow. Monks are kind of not so material.
I should Stock up on healing potions perhaps?
From the Chopper's Isle, you got:
--the quasit's tiny +1 returning cold iron dagger (that was worth about 10,304 GP). Sold for half that, you should have got 5152 GP for it. Divided by 5... that should be 1030.4 GP per person.
--the quasit's dress (15 GP)
--the quasit's tiara (50 GP)
--the quasit's holy symbol of Lamashtu (10 GP)
--the scroll of flaming sphere (that's already been taken by Eostre)
--the wand of shocking grasp with 28 charges left
--Koruvus' +1 Longsword
--And finally, some sort of religious text written in Abyssal. It's worth about 100 GP.
I'd be happy with a large enough share for some heavier armor, but I can live without it. So, add in 110gp for half the value of Conner's breastplate and kilt. Call it a 640 gp share for some half-plate, after I sell the armor he has.
I don't want to keep any of that loot. Fine with everything being sold.
Does anyone else want to keep something?
Well, I'd like to copy flaming sphere into my spellbook. Plus, the wand may come in handy. I forgot we had it. Could have used it against Tsuto! >.<
Well, you'll certainly have time to do so.
Heads up, on Monday I'm going on a trip for most of the rest of the month, I'll be back on the 27th.
Alrighty then. Thanks for letting me know.
I don't want any of that loot, but I'm good with us keeping the wand or anything else that others might want. Will get to Nicat's shopping when I can, still super busy.
So...any advice for me apart from taking the wand and scroll? I'm not sure what to do here...math is haaaaaard. <.<
Seeing as how we're about to get into a situation that could lead to an extended battle, I'd say get better defenses or a wand you can use to kill things with from a distance. Ranged combat is our friend, since Conner can provide cover with his shield to anyone behind him.
Ekan is getting an amulet of natural armor +1, a masterwork Kama, one potion of CMW, and two CLW
and a shirt for every week day
kidding about that last one ;)
Evan - Still shirtless on the weekends, that's good.
To be honest, I forgot Nicat had to go shopping. I'll try to work on that tonight.
Would it be possible for me to wear a haramaki? I'm pondering it, as it's got 0% arcane spell failure and I can add armor enchantments to it. I can get the armor proficiency feat at some point.
Well, RAW, you can, but there's the question of its armour check penalty applying to your attack rolls & skill checks involving moving...
Then again, with a haramaki, that's more or less a moot point. An armoured kilt would offer you the same benefits (with the exception of a maximum DEX bonus of +6), and I imagine would be more readily available in Sandpoint. But if you're REALLY insistent on a haramaki, I'll allow it.
I thought you had to have an existing normal armor to attach the armored kilt to in order to gain its benefits.
Nope, you can wear it as a standalone armour piece.
