I can't help thinking we need to recruit an Arcanist. We've got divine nailed down but we could really use a wizard.
GM - whats your thoughts?
Level 7 Ned

Just waiting on the GM ruling...
Also I gonna have to get a headband of wisdom sooner or later.
GM - just take level 4 spells as if resting.
sure, you can rest & recover fully before proceeding
Zilt - did you happen to see my PM?
Just a last bit of leveling info.
For his character level 7 feat, Lleidr took Accomplished Sneak Attacker (+1d6 to Sneak Attack damage).
Also, Arg improved a tiny bit, getting a few more hp and a little better at a couple of skills.
Also, I lost track of Lleidr's funds, so I spent a couple of days skimming back over the game log thus far. Couple of questions:
first, Zilt, we got a bit distracted and never wrapped it up, but Lleidr had gotten a scroll from Ned's friend in Sandpoint to reduce that giant helmet the giant crab in the bottom of Thistletop was using for a home. Can we retcon us getting down there and retrieving the item? It was worth about 3000 gp and that's a nice bit to add in for group loot
which leads to the second question: we had a small pile of treasure we brought to Magnimar to sell (and to which we've now added some more platinum, a recovered painting, the deed and papers, and the elf's equipment) but got distracted by the murders at that first shop. Maybe while Zilt's on vacation, we could get that pile sorted, valued, sold, and split up? I think Lleidr's finally getting enough cash together to maybe buy a magic item.
Also, I just wanted to give mad props again to Selia for maintaining the group loot list. You're A-OK in this curmudgeon's book.
A big thanks there to her as well - Ive done diddily when it comes to loot management
Yes, that's fair. go ahead and add in the 3000 gp.
OK - at the top of my profile, I have added a link for notes, and a link for a new spreadsheet to better track treasure. I went back through the threads and realized we never sold our stuff, but we did have values and a discussion of what fetches full vs half price. I sold everything except a scroll and the hat of disguise, and including the mask we recovered, came to a total of 9804.5 gold.
I distributed 2400 gold each, and left 200+ as petty cash for inn expenses, etc. I figure it is easier to just pay misc expenses this way rather than each of us trying to track. And if something is sitting in party assets, I think anyone can use it - you "pay" for it when you want to transfer it to your sheet permanently.
I don't really know if any of us took stuff, etc., so I figured this was a clean re-boot, and then we can track it a little better from here.
Sound ok to everyone? (Too much accounting??)
Sounds good. Good job!
2400 is great!
I'm going to assume you're headed out to this clock tower which Ironbriar has described, so I'll make 1 final post before the trip.
Right... I am assuming we didn't rest?
Thanks again, Selia!
Is the assault on the tower urgent enough that we can't rest first? Or are we just heading over to scope the place out so we can prepare to infiltrate?
Let's rest first - I think GM said no problem, and since we all leveled and just had a big battle, best to renew resources.
Selia also wanted to spend time reviewing the books found, and practicing some summoning skills.
I'm not sure if this got settled, but Lleidr is in favor of selling/shopping and resting.
I'm back! Resting & shopping is definitely OK. I just wanted to fast-forward a bit to show your first impressiosn of the tower to which Ironbriar has pointed you.
Speaking of resting, I'm in dire need myself. I can update tomorrow.
On one of the days of our trip, we spent a day in Provins, France, just outside Paris. That town is gold to any fantasy RPG'ers. Large parts of it look much the same as it did 500+ years ago. One interesting thing about the town is that it actually has a network of underground tunnels, one of which begins under an abbey. In fact, many houses in that town have underground tunnels. I was surprised by how extensive the tunnels spread.
The theory is that the clay in the ground was dug out for degreasing wool, which was a big export for Provins, and afterward, the tunnels may have also been used for storing dairy foods. It also looks like it was used as part of Freemasonry meetings, due to the masonic graffiti that's found there. So, yeah, I guess a fantasy town with sinister underground tunnels is a cliche for the game, but maybe the early authors of the game were inspired by real places like this.
The town is also dominated by a massive tower and a huge chapel, which was never finished and never used.
Welcome back, Zilt! Hope you and the missus had a fantastic time :)
Welcome back! Glad to hear you had a great time.
Have you guys seen this series?
Thanks for putting me on to this
I'm going to be offline for a few days, as my kid and I are going out of town for the weekend. Gotta meet up with Lleidr face to face and settle an old score
Actually i'm hoping to introduce him to a great Supers card game, Sentinels of the Multi-verse. If you get the chance, give it a spin. It's a lot of fun.
Sentinels is a great game - well worth it.
So, while old man Zilt is out of the room...
What's our move, here? I'm starting to think these three might just be normal guards. Do we just knock 'em out and tie them up? And where the heck are the faceless stalkers if they aren't these guys?
Yah - these guys are up to no good, but seem to be hired help so no need to kill them outright.
I'm a little bit behind on things at home, due to being out this weekend. i'll get an update tomorrow folks .. sorry for the delay
Sorry again for the delay. This site was down last night ... i'll try again this evening.
My apologies again for the delay.
BTW, if you're interested in some inspirational historical fiction, I highly recommend Sharon Kay Penman's series of books about Henry II and Eleanor. Really good stuff!
Thanks - will try that.
I just stumbled upon a book in the stacks while looking for research materials for my offspring that is interesting, both from the history and the way it is written (which I figure was in the 50s or 60s). I don't have it in front of me, but I think it's called At World's End. (My offspring thought it was a dystopian novel, and quickly lost interest when I explained it....)
I am going to be scarce for the next 3 days. I might check in from mobile, but my posts will be few and far between until Monday. Thank you for your patience!
I think my kid is going to join you guys in this campaign, if you're OK with that. My guess is that you'd like to have a wizard type, but do you have another preference?
Ok with me. A wizard/sorcerer would be handy :-)
Hill giant ninja!
Wizard for sure!
Hill giant ninja ??? well, ok ...
After this encounter (if you survive it), we'll break the new guy in. No hazing!
Got a family medical situation happening, folks ... can't do an update this evening.
Besides, i'm still waiting on Selia & Ned.
I'll try to update later today. Sorry for the delay.
I've got a kid in the hospital since Weds of last week, to treat an infection. And, so far, it's shaping up that he'll be there another week. So, updates may be spotty until he's back home.
oh crap - sorry to hear that. Whats the bug?
man, I am sorry to hear that. Hope he gets well soon!
He's doing really well. I'll explain later what's going on in a bit more detail, but tonight I am wiped.
Can we put the game on hold until the weekend? This is a nice encounter and I'd like to make sure I do it right.
sure
Of course! Get some rest.
Sure. I just spent a week in hospital with after getting an antibiotic resistant infection. It sucks! Kinda wished I could cast remove disease
Zilt, if you need me to take over GM'ing, just say the word. I'm sure my house rule about XP counting double for Small characters won't throw things too far out of balance :)
So, my kid's got a relatively minor medical implant, but one he needs very badly. He had a new one put in a few months ago, and we found out in April that it was infected. It needs to be replaced, and that may happen on Weds this week, provided his infection is truly gone. The problem is that the specific bacteria is a slow grower, and doesn't show up in cultures for about 5 days. At this point, he might be discharged by Friday, which means he'll have been inpatient for over 2 weeks!
So, work and everything else has been put on hold for the past week and a half; looks like things are calming down on my end, but I'll update here if I have to skip a day or two between turns.
Thanks for being patient!
