We'll see. :-) Whispers has a pretty big head start (and I've changed the beginning), so probably her. Plus, staying behind means I can steal her ideas. *evil grin*
My game has stalled out in the Pale tower due to PC death and the forum issues.
Yeah, that part looks pretty nasty. :-(
Loot discussion!
I see two good options:
1: we pool our money, take a trip to nearby Oppara and buy a wand of CLW
2: Get outselves a few MW weaponry to help with the hitting. Probably Elx/Nev since they have the big hitters, and Llyr will hopefully always have a flank bonus :)
A wand would be a good way to keep all of us ishy-healers from burning through our spell slots. Weapon/Armor upgrades are always good, too. I'll be pushing for some way to get enlarged on a fairly regular basis since I'm going the Combat Reflexes/reach weapon route.
Infernal Healing might be the better purchase, but either one would be nice, for sure.
While the more efficient healing option, I'm not sure if wands of it would be as readily available, or if our more goodly aligned party would want to use it.
True. Devil blood isn't found just anywhere. :-)
Later I'll update the gold sheet, include numbers and give you an overall of what we can spend.
A wand of CLW is a smart investment, though the town might not have one in stock. I'd say go for the wand first, then split the remainder for buying MW gear or anything else.
Agreeing with Lex.
A new gold sheet is up, by the way. Going to finish it up tomorrow.
I'm pretty sure that we weren't going to sell the cloak of the yeti but give it to Lex, IIRC.
We're not selling it. If you're keeping it, you would have 2000gp worth of items, which is more than your fair share, but that's why the sheet is so complex, it allow us to go negative. Thus, don't worry about it.
Ah, my mistake. Well, good thing that Lex isn't going to need a magic staff anytime soon. We might want to think about getting access to Endure Elements as a spell, though. Either in wand or scroll form.
The sheet is up to date.
1 - Have you decided on what are we buying regarding wands or scrolls?
2 - Are we keeping the 4 scrolls?
Lex is right, we really need something that can give us endure elements. Scrolls? A wand would feel like an overkill, no (even more so since Elxurian and Karyne do not really need them yet)?
We would need 3 per day, since the claok give perma End Elem cold, and the other two resist cold fairly well. Also, as we level up, our saves get better and the starting DC does not. Eventually we can just ignore it for the first few saves.
I'd say that judging from the last trip, we might only need enough EE scrolls to last us about three days, max - so 9 scrolls altogether, at least until we can make a return trip. 25gp a piece, that's 225gp total - we already have one, so that cuts it down to 200gp for 8 endure elements scrolls.
Also, I know that Lex is way over for receiving the cloak of the yeti, so I'll ask if anyone wants to donate the 40gp she'll need to transcribe the spells she can learn from the pilfered spellbook into her own. Don't you want her to have feather fall in case the party starts to plummet to their deaths?
It would also be really usefull if everyone would get a pair of snowshoes, there weren't any in the village, but a trip to Oppara should do the trick.
I would be surprised if Oppara had those. Keep in mind, we're in Taldor, which is hot and sunny, and it's the summertime. We may be able to commission them, but I'd be surprised if we can find any easily.
I would suggest we buy a wand of Endure Elements. My save is fairly strong, aside from the cold resistance, so I'm alright, and Karyne and Nev also have no problem. So a wand like that would last for ages, and we will make good use of it for the best price. Also, if anything happens to our cold weather equipment we have it. A CLW wand would do fine too.
Lex, you may go a little more negative without a problem, use my share for now. Write useful spells and make us proud!
I have no concern if Lex goes negative. I've never been a huge fan of zero sum loot splits and those of similar vein. It's a team effort, and we should do whatever makes the team better.
There's nothing to say that if we can't get a wand of Endure elements, that if one of us fails a save, they cant put on the cloak for a bit and heal up, it all depends on how Whispers decides to run it. Hell, in my game, I've given up making the checks because it's too much bookkeeping and just serves as an annoyance after the first few levels.
The elements wand would be nice, but I agree it isn't highest priority. I do think we need to ensure that the group has healing covered and that it isn't tapping our IN combat resources.
I vote for a wand of CLW for starters. Improving weapons/armor is always nice as well. Maybe a partially-charged wand of endure elements would be better? I'm not sure we'll ever go through 50 charges of that thing - especially if we play around with the cloak of the yeti. But healing should be our top priority. Really though, just tell me how much gp I personally have to spend, and I'll be fine. I'll make sure I keep my needs/weak areas covered. :-)
You have about 760 gp Nev. That includes whatever you're using from the loot we're acquired (I, for instance, am using the Bow and the Breastplate) for 50% of the price. So if you are using a "loot chain shirt", for example, which costs 100gp normally, you pay 50gp from your share and be happy ^_^
Nev, I know you said the bosslady was not feeling good, but is there someone in this town who can sell us the CLW wand we want?
I believe so. Same with the EE wand if we go that route. I'm not currently using any of the loot, IIRC. :-)
Will get back around 7-8ish tonight, if all goes well.
Whispers is on migraine meds, and it's kicking her butt. :-( She'll try to post something tomorrow, but all of our stated purchases should be okay.
Still kicking my butt, but this time its something else, stomach bug or something. :( Working on it guys. God Im the worst. IM SORRY!
No need to apologize, just get better!
So, I am guessing the 10% is also offered to Grimkell for a mwk cold iron longsword... right?
I think you need to change what you eat Whispers. Give it a try for something healthier!
Yes YOU GET 10% OFF AND YOU GET 10% OFF! EVERYONE GETS 10% OFF!
Yoohoo! Big summer blowout!
Went to the doctor today and I am on medication now, So I need to sleep it off. I will advance laterz. kthxbai. <3 Ill advance the plot later tonight. Sorry guys.
Did I say something about changing your eating habits?
Get better.
Haha its not that. Im very prone to illness, no matter what I eat or drink. Just an upper respiratory infection.
If you say so...
Anyway, I hope you get better.
Lex, I took a look at the constitution score of your character, and based on this, she should win the contest... although, Grimkell usually drinks heavily, so maybe they are as resistant to alcohol. What do you think?
Four ales in, Lex is more interested in not ending up alone in her inn room for the night than winning the contest - though yeah, going pint for pint, she'd beat Grimmy. Though that's not hard, seeing as the Sylph has the lowest constitution.
As a rule on drinking, one of my groups implemented a limit of Half Con Score in number of drinks before you start having to roll Fort Saves versus unconsciousness. That sound good here should it get to it?
Edit: Also, what's the closest thing to vodka in Golarion?
Can't wait to see how this ends!
Yeah, I am up with those rules, but I don't think Grimkell will get that far.
Hey guys, Im having some real difficult life situations come up. I should be able to start posting again in the next month and I am truly sorry. If you are willing to wait, I will be back, you guys know that.
WEll that stinks
Would you want your boy toy or me to carry the game a bit until you feel better, so we don't have one stall right after the other ones?
We know the AP, so it's not like we'll be learning secrets
We do?
Considering the fact that I'm running two parties through this AP already, I have no problem taking over temporarily. Whispers promises that it'll only be for a week or two at most; she's fallen a little behind with her schoolwork and needs to catch up. Give me a few minutes, and I'll have something up. :-)
Hope you get back on track well with your schoolwork Whispers!
Will update when I get home from work.
I put the link to the annotated map in my alias under location. Feel free to check it out.
