If you so choose to spend it that way, then I'll be glad you are reaping benefits from your feats.
What's the likely hood of getting a Mithral shirt in three months? Gwyn's squishier than the casters and needs every bit of AC she can get without the dread ACP.
Price is fully updated.
I'm going to go ahead and get Cain's bow and falchion upgraded to masterwork using two of those spells... for 600g off my money.
So i have 900g and change as we move forward. I'll take a look at magical gear, but nothing really stands out as wroth it except maybe getting a Cloak of REsistance.
Though I'll probably hold onto more than a bit of my gold so we have some resources to lean back on when we start really planning our next job.
Shulme is leveled up, save for teamwork feat and a new first level spell. Haven't made my mind up on the latter. On the former, will we be going with Escape Route, then?
To avoid 'continuity errors', the infiltrator(s) should use their iron crowns to just disguise their appearance and then don real clothing. That way any casual contact with other people won't reveal the illusion.
Shulme can also Alter Self (with no giveaway verbal/somatic components) now, in case we really need a non-insubstantial disguise.
Just out of curiosity, how much of the team can and can't see in the dark? Within a level or two Shulme will start being able to take the light away (and will only get better at it after that).Price has darkvision as a racial bonus... so as long as you don't start dropping Deeper Darkness, she can hang with fighting in the dark. In fact, she'd probably prefer it. :)
I probably will start dropping deeper darkness at some point, but I don't get to see through the darkest levels of it till 11th level. So probably I will be aiming for just making regular darkness until then.
At some point I'd like to get Gwyn Darkvision + Permanency cast on her. it'd be good to have her as one of our main scouts be able to see without a torch.
Hey Shulme,
I think some of the dedicated Scouts may be going with Stealth Synergy.
Price is going with Precise Strike {variable} and Escape Route so you'll have at least one buddy for ER.
Maybe we should have Tiadora pawn that Silver and Sapphire holy symbol. I think we can make better use of the cash. The only other choice I see would be to hold onto it in the hopes of showing it to Sir Balin to confirm the horrific death of his son and hopefully rattle the goody-goody. :)
Also, did we ever figure out who got the second Cloak of Resistance? Gwyn has one, who gets the other?
Mark, here's how I'm looking to spend some gold. Let me know if this is OK with you...
Masterwork Transformation on Leaf Armor (150 GP)
Get a +1 on Leaf Armor (1000 GP)
(2) Alchemist's Fire (40 GP)
Ok, I think all my leveling up is done. I went with escape route. With as big as Teon is going to be, it gives you guys a nice corrador to move in. I took the angel hunter trait. Shopping wise, I am going to buy myself a wand of lesser restore Eidelon and probably ask Xanos to make me a cloak of resistance.
Price is right, the stealthers (myself and Gwyn) are taking Stealth Synergy.
And I've re-thought my purchases. I'm currently considering:
Amulet of Natural Armor +1 (1000g - Spellcraft DC 13 for Xanos to craft)
Masterwork Transformation: comp longbow (300g)
Alchemical Silver Dagger (22g)
And very possibly picking up some of the following:
Tanglefoot bags
Thunderstones
Alchemist's Fires
Acid Flasks
@ Xanos: I seem to remember you having some talent with Craft: Alchemy. how likely are you to succeed on making the above alchemical items instead of me buying them straight-up?
-----
We also have the following to sell (w/ 1/2 values in parenthesis):
longsword (15 / 2 = 7.5g)
dagger (2 / 2 = 1g)
Mwk Full plate (1650 / 2 = 825g)
Heavy Steel Shield (20 / 2 = 10g)
So if we sell all that, it comes out to 843.5g
I don't know the value of the pendant (if it's sellable, considering where we got it)
We could either split that 834.5 between us, or put that into our Team Fund… which would pay for another Wand of CLW (or wands of Infernal Healing) or two plus gear for the upcoming mission.
Thoughts?
250gp on the pendant. It is sellable.
Hey Shulme,
I think some of the dedicated Scouts may be going with Stealth Synergy.

I went with escape route. With as big as Teon is going to be, it gives you guys a nice corrador to move in.
Okay, cool, Escape Route it is.
On wealth... think Shulme will save up his gold for now. Not too far off from being able to afford the crafting cost of a +2 headband... I don't mind selling that gear and splitting the cash. One wand of CLW, plus Shulme's up to 7/day casts and 4 scrolls of it ought to see us through...
Jewelry such as that pendant sells at 100% IIRC.
I can make just about anything in the book with a Take 10.
Basicly saint anything with a craft DC of 25 or less can be gotten at wholesale. The tougher stuff I'll need to roll for, but it's really unlikely I'll fail by enough to ruin the materials.
stupid autocorrect...
Assume, not saint.
If everyone (including Jakes) puts in 108 g, we can pick up a Wand of Infernal Healing, which tends to be much more dependable than CLW as far as out-of-combat healing. And it's useable by both Shulme and Xanos. Or is this a waste of money given that we have a wand of CLW? (just re-read Shulme's post)
I'm still trying to think through my purchases… the extra cash kind of gave me pause. I'll try to have it finalized by today, though.
Some (or most) of it will require some of Xanos's time spent crafting.
Masterwork Transformation on Leaf Armor (150 GP)
Get a +1 on Leaf Armor (1000 GP)
(2) Alchemist's Fire (40 GP)
Doh! I just re-read Leaf Armor and it is assumed to be MW because of the creation process (hence the high price-tag) so I'm getting that transformation cash back.
After much antagonizing, here's how I'm using my gold:
2x Masterwork Transformation (for bow and falchion) - 600g
3x Alchemist's Fire (crafted by Xanos - 20g)
3x Tanglefoot Bags (crafted by Xanos - 50g)
3x Thunderstone (crafted by Xanos - 30g)
982.25 remaining (for savings or mission-specific purchases)
AC bumps will have to wait until i can (hopefully) afford a mithral breastplate.
*sigh* Alright, I didn't realise that X could make Alchemist's Fire... so I'm going to upgrade my cash spent list and items again. Gah.
Just to let everyone know, I've heard from everyone. Kalina, welcome back aboard!
hey, welcome back, Kalina.
Look forward to smashing some heads with ya.
Sweet! Go Team Evil!
Woot! Good to have you back Jakes.
You may place your order with the Xanos Vending Company at any time.
Sweet! I've got two flanking buddies now! Welcome back!
So should we begin planning our next moves? Or would you like some time to prepare, Xz?
I've been in the process of drafting the next post in a word doc, but keep making changes to it. Darn perfectionism. The post will be a sort of half-montage half-narrative of the next three months (unless you'd all like to RP it day-by-day), with giving you all a chance to react to a couple things as desired. I'll probably post it up tonight when I get home from work in a few hours.
And of course respond to what you've all done in the gameplay thread.

As an inveterate post-tinkerer, I feel your pain!
I'm fine doing Xanos' crafting as part of the montage, but I do have a rather important scene I need to get finished with Shulme.
Mark, do mind waiting on that montage? Everyone ok with Xanos hogging the spotlight for a short scene?
Fine with that. Feel free to take the floor. I'll try to resolve Shulme's questioning of Timeon in the meantime then.
I'll wait for you to finish that up before I run off with Shulme.
Not at all.
I should have Gwyn ready in a moment.
@Xanos: How much is left out of the money you gave Gwyn? She's a bit on the greedy side and I'm 116 GP shy of getting two masterwork shortswords.
I haven't figured that out yet, but there should be plenty left over for that. Consider it yours.
Sweetness. Now if only Level four was here... :)
Mark, is there anything in this world equivalent to a Burka, Habit, or full monk's robe? Do mourners wear funeral masks?
Basically is there any fairly common head-to-toe manor of dress?
@Xanos: How much is left out of the money you gave Gwyn? She's a bit on the greedy side and I'm 116 GP shy of getting two masterwork shortswords.
After all of Xanos' crafting there's 148 GP left. Enjoy.
I'm fine with the montage, and look forward to Xanos's scene as well.
Xanos, want me to pick up half of Gwyn's borrowing? I don't mind.
Good call on interviewing Timeon, Shulme. I didn't realize he had a history with Balentyne. (How can I only hear the song "My funny valentine" when i read that name?)
Pump him for information, then we need to determine if a scouting trip is still in order for this mission.
Gwyn's not borrowing it. Xanos only cares about money insofar as it can get him the supplies he needs. Basically he's using Gwyn as his personal shopper and doesn't care about the leftovers.
Works for me.
Back. Camping trip was called on account of rain.
Quick question, Would it be worth it to get a MWK. Silver weapon and a MWK. Cold Iron Weapon? (Don't worry Cain, Gwyn doesn't have designs against you.)
Thanks, folks! Appreciate the second chance....
I will now desperately catch up on the gameplay thread and what appears to be a shopping trip to evil Walmart....
to evil Walmart....
Isn't that redundant?
to evil Walmart....Isn't that redundant?
No moreso than applying evil to any other major store chain.
Personally, I like to think of it as a trip to Bloodbath and Beyond.
Credit where credit is due. (WARNING: Do not read where you need to be quiet.)
Quick question, Would it be worth it to get a MWK. Silver weapon and a MWK. Cold Iron Weapon? (Don't worry Cain, Gwyn doesn't have designs against you.)
I"ve been wondering about this as well. As a good guy, I try to always have a cold iron and a silver weapon. I guess it just makes good sense to have the same prep as a bad guy… I mean, we're just as likely to run afoul of local baddies, i guess.
And I don't believe for a second that Gwyn doesn't have designs on Cain. I mean… he's a sexy beast. Oh… that's not what you meant? Huh…
I've been debating on whether Cain would have a silver weapon as well… given that its his people's bane. At the end of the day, I'm pretty sure Cain would see the merit in being prepared against attacks even from people of his own blood. For people in his profession, preparedness is pretty much a means of survival.

Cliff's Notes: We beat the sh!t out of a bunch of sh!t and got some nice sh!t…. yah, that about sums it up. :D

Heh. He said he was from Balentyne when we first met him. I'd love to claim I was an eagle-eyed player who you can never slip anything by, but in this case I actually just did a thread search when the Cardinal gave us that mission to help remember if any of the names had come up before. ;)
And yeah, the info he gave so far seems eminently useful.

And discovered that while Gwyn has overcome her fear of Grumblejack, she is deathly afraid of undead.
Thanks for answering that. I'll have her updated in a bit. Damage is going to SUCK for a level on the silver weapon though.
EDIT: Done! Gwyn now has a pair of named weapon's I decided to keep with the Gaelic/British theme. Cookies for whoever guess where I got the names from.
Just a heads up, I'm going to be out of town for a wedding this weekend. I should be back Monday.
Also, did we ever figure out who got the second Cloak of Resistance? Gwyn has one, who gets the other?
I have it.
Cookies for whoever guess where I got the names from.
Can I still have a cookie if I only know one of them? I recognize Nuada's arm (and am duly amused at the timing of the reference) but I have no idea on the other one.

Sure! But I'm afraid Gwyn already ate the ones she stole from Banderscar, so she'll have to steal some more. You nailed the silver one. Let's see if anyone can figure out the other one.
(Hint: It is the name of a weapon that supposedly had an ability that a rogue would love, and I hope I can get it put on this one.)
