Headed here on my last day of freedom. Didn't move here to sit in front of a computer all day and all night! Really. I can do mountain/cold weather ranger research, too.

No worries. We took two years to get through the first half of this AP.

That looks like fun! I have melded my posting with my iPhone now. I can even BBC code. Now I have a second of standing around, I can post. I never sit by my computer these days. It's mostly my stereo at this point (And Photoshopper)

For some reason I can't log on to Paizo on my phone - I can access the site, just can't sign in; it's a pain.

Ugh. I'd likely have to give my gaming up at this point if that happened. I'm just not at home much anymore

I hate posting from my phone. That's why I initially gave up on my PbPs, because I just couldn't dedicate the additional time it would have taken for all my PbPs. But that's just me, if you've made it work Pat then I take my hat off to you.

I find posting on my phone as a PC pretty doable. For substantial GM work, though (especially long descriptive posts or running big combats), I prefer my computer.


DO NOT STICK FINGERS IN CAGE

I have made my peace with long expository posts via iPhone. Like anything, with practice it becomes easier. I don't get too much time at home, and when I do, I usually am either eating or cleaning or playing with my dogs. Perfecting my iPhone posting skills allows me to be flexible with the various downtime the day presents me.

Oh, and I am an idiot. I was so busy getting ready for GenCon I forgot to get the scrolls from the module. Mea culpa. I know thar spell book is arcane and has several 1st level spells within it. I'll get the info, or if someone has the proper AP, and wishes to post the info, feel free. I'll assume you won't read ahead, as that would spoil your fun anyway.

For those of us that started at 2nd level, what was our starting gold? I used max 1st level gold but nothing for 2nd. We won't get equipped from the loot, so will need a few purchases.

Patrick, we found the room with Vrixx, but you didn't mention the treasure in it - should I list that as well?

I (perhaps in error) used the average wealth for second level characters to equip, I think its 1000gp.

DM, if that's too much, let me know and I'll tone things down.

If you like, we can divide the wealth, and anyone can lay claim to the gear they want.


DO NOT STICK FINGERS IN CAGE

Works for me. Assume you get that amount for the lootz

Scarab Sages RPG Superstar 2009 Top 32

Unseen Servant is the only spell on my spell list (and I apparently can't copy spells from a Spellbook), so that's the only scroll I can use.
I'd like the Silver Dagger (although if anyone else wants the centipede poison they're welcome to it) though, just 'cause even though it's not MW, it seems like something that would appeal to Ecaterina.
That's all for me. :)

Sahsara could use the mwk thieves tools and mwk studded leather and i think mwk hand axe

Silver Crusade

Male Celestial Cleric of Myself 10/Radiant Servant of Me 10

Sahsara can have the masterwork studded leather. I am upgrading to chain shirt for a little more AC. Also, be sure to take one or more of the cold iron weapons mentioned in thread, as I suspect we will continue to need them.

The niftiest item in the hoard is probably the cloak of the yeti. Constant endure elements in cold weather, +1 natural armor bonus, +2 on intimidate checks with the hood drawn up. Gaelin could use it, but so could virtually anybody else in the party, and I don't want to be greedy.

Some of those oils of magic weapon would come in handy for him too.

Malden and Alakai obviously wont get a share of the treasure, but if there is a cold iron dagger or better yet some sling stones left from what the townsfolk have supplied, I wouldn't mind getting some of that - seems like we will be facing more fey.

Sahsara could use a dagger and or arrows and or sling bullets

It is a nifty item. While Ecaterina would certainly benefit from the +1 Natural Armour, she already has Endure Elements (Cold) permanently active, so I feel it's a waste and should go to someone else.

In regards to the cloak, the natural armour bonus is good for anyone, but arguably more useful for someone who tends to be a frontline melee warrior-type. The Endure Elements effect would be most useful for someone with a low Fort save or who doesn't already have some sort of cold resistance or similar. The Intimidate bonus is probably most useful to someone who is likely to use the skill - either already has ranks in it or has a decent charisma bonus already.

On that basis the cloak would probably be best for either Gaelin (melee type, ranks in intimidate) or Sahsara (worst Fort save in the group and no cold resistance I can see, ok charisma score, not sure if she gets into melee).


Tristan will take five of the alchemist's fires--he could use a ranged option. The only other item he could use would be the cloak, but his AC is decent and his Intimidate nonexistent, so it's probably better for one of the others.


DO NOT STICK FINGERS IN CAGE

Thanks for the assist CH! I will be updating tonight or tomorrow if I am too tired :)


Male Human Philosopher 8/ Data Scientist 1

As cold weather survival will be an issue it would be nice to have the cloak. Also Sahsara can't use the handaxe so she won't be taking that.

Silver Crusade

Male Celestial Cleric of Myself 10/Radiant Servant of Me 10

I think Sahsara can use it. Gaelin has a high Fort save and a little cold resistance. While the natural armor bonus and intimidate bonus would be nice, I think Sahsara can get more survivablity out of it.

Jeydavu will sell his scimitar and replace it with a cold iron scimitar. He can't use the longsword. Also, I'll take the sling bullets and one of the daggers if no one else has claimed the third one.

Finally, I'd like 3 of the alchemist fires.


DO NOT STICK FINGERS IN CAGE

Back from GenCon. I'll be updating tonight as I can


DO NOT STICK FINGERS IN CAGE

Hi everyone.

Just a check in. I'm sorry about my silence. I got back from GenCon and went back to work. Usually I am able to update a bit there, but things were a bit hectic. Then I volunteered yesterday and ended up working in a downpour for five hours before they called the day because of weather.

I am working a bus thing today, so hopefully I can catch up with everything

Working in the rain is never fun, hope you managed to stay relatively dry.

It seems prudent for everyone to stock up with cold weather outfits.

Liberty's Edge

Male Mothman Expert 5

We should make sure all the items of loot you have found are designated to someone or sold and the cash divided amongst the original / continuing characters.

The list (including the cold iron weapons) is below – items claimed by people so far are marked with their name in bold, my suggestions are in italics.

Scrolls:
Lesser animate dead (3) (Sell or destroy?)
Endure elements (Jeydavu?)
Magic weapon (2) (I think Malden’s the only one that can use these)
Unseen servant (Ecaterina)

Magical and mundane potions, oils, alchemical items:
Oil of magic weapon (3) (Two or all to Gaelin)
Alchemists fire (10) (Five to Tristan, three to Jeydavu)
Greenblood oil (3)
Oil of tagget (2)

Magic and masterwork items:
Cloak of the yeti (Sahsara)
Mwk studded leather (Sahsara)
Mwk short sword (Sahsara)
Mwk hand axe
Silver dagger with 1 dose small centipede poison (Ecaterina)
Mwk thieves tools (Sahsara)
Rohkar's spellbook (alarm, chill touch, expeditious retreat, feather fall, identify, locate object, ray of enfeeblement) (Sell?)

Cold Iron:
masterwork cold iron greatsword (Gaelin)
40 cold iron arrowheads ( Sahsara)
3 cold iron daggers (one to Ecaterina, one to Sahsara, one to Jeydavu)
20 cold iron sling bullets (Some to Jeydavu) (Suggest Malden take a few)
Masterwork cold iron longsword (I think Gaelin and Alikai are the only two in the party who are proficient with longsword)


Male Human Philosopher 8/ Data Scientist 1

if no one else wants it, Sahsara will take the mwk short sword


Human ranger 2; Init +5; Per +6; AC 17/t 13/ff 14; Fort +5, Ref +8, Will +4; CMB +3; CMD 18; HP 32/32

I don't feel right taking anything, and I already have a cold iron weapon. If Gaelin already has a cold iron weapon as well, we could either save it as a backup (just in case) or swap around weapons if the proficiencies work.

Jeydavu is proficient with a scimitar.


DO NOT STICK FINGERS IN CAGE

Change the longsword into a scimitar. It makes more thematic sense anyway, you being on the Qadiran border

Liberty's Edge

Male Mothman Expert 5

Here is the revised list, does everyone like the look of this?

Scrolls:
Lesser animate dead (3) (Sell or destroy?)
Endure elements (Jeydavu?)
Magic weapon (2) (Malden)
Unseen servant (Ecaterina)

Magical and mundane potions, oils, alchemical items:
Oil of magic weapon (3) (Two or all to Gaelin)
Alchemists fire (10) (Five to Tristan, three to Jeydavu, one to Gaelin) (that leaves 1)
Greenblood oil (3) (Sell or destroy?)
Oil of tagget (2) (Sell or destroy?)

Magic and masterwork items:
Cloak of the yeti (Sahsara)
Mwk studded leather (Sahsara)
Mwk short sword (Sahsara)
Mwk hand axe (Sell?)
Silver dagger with 1 dose small centipede poison (Ecaterina)
Mwk thieves tools (Sahsara)
Rohkar's spellbook (alarm, chill touch, expeditious retreat, feather fall, identify, locate object, ray of enfeeblement) (Sell?)

Cold Iron:
masterwork cold iron greatsword (Gaelin)
40 cold iron arrowheads (40 to Sahsara)
3 cold iron daggers (one to Ecaterina, one to Sahsara, one to Jeydavu)
20 cold iron sling bullets (20 to Jeydavu)
Masterwork cold iron scimitar (Jeydavu)


Male Human (Ulfen) Urban Barbarian 2 [HP 36/36; AC 17]

Looks good to me. I will take an alchemists fire. You never know if you in into a swarm or something.


Looks good to me too. I'm basically just saving money until I can buy magic gear, cause, you know, monk.


DO NOT STICK FINGERS IN CAGE

So ...

I'm headed back on the road. This time, I doubt I'll be able to do much since my cellphone won't work unless I get a wifi spot. Assume I will not be around until 8/22.


DO NOT STICK FINGERS IN CAGE

Ok. I'm back from vacation and I've carved some time out tonight for updates. Keep an eye out for about4-5 hours from now :)


Human ranger 2; Init +5; Per +6; AC 17/t 13/ff 14; Fort +5, Ref +8, Will +4; CMB +3; CMD 18; HP 32/32

Can you give us an approximate temperature? Love is love is love is love is love is love is love, but cold is not necessarily cold, if you get my drift.

Drift, get it? Cold, snow, drift... :/

Also, I see that my HeroLab Noobness caused me to equip a grappling bolt rather than a grappling arrow. I'd like to swap those since I have a bow, not a crossbow.


DO NOT STICK FINGERS IN CAGE

That's fine. Swap away. I'll check the module to see what the ambient temp is once I get home

Jeydavu, dressed in his cold weather gear, watches intently as the weather changes from humid warm to freezing temperatures. He brushes the snow off of Chtonthoth.

When the group reaches the valley, he moves to the front to survey the land. "I think we should keep moving the day is only half over. Chtonthoth and I can lead the way. Follow in his tracks."

He carefully attempts to pick out a safe route into the valley, leaving no trail as he moves through the snow.

How can we follow in his tracks if he doesn't leave any?

(Kidding!)


Did we ever finalize the sold gear? Want to make sure I didn't overspend (though if I did, it's just healing kit charges--easy to fix).


I'll be traveling most of next week--please GMPC me if necessary to keep things moving. I should be back online by the 12th.

I'm back enough to post. Quality of post will depend on proximity to pain med.
