Yohoho and a bottle of Rep! (subSPUF Skull and Shackles)

Game Master Rynjin

"Im out of ideas"

This is where somebody with Disable Device would come in handy.

Loot the bodies. Are any of them carrying bludgeoning weapons?

Loot:

-8 suits of Full Plate
-A Masterwork Breastplate
-8 Masterwork Greatswords
-A +1 Light Mace
-A +2 Headband of Vast Intelligence
-A +2 Headband of Inspired Wisdom

Ixrul whips out his yet-to-be-needed drill (What? I buy one for all my wizards) and drills a one- inch diameter hole in the vault.

He will then look inside and (assuming he sees nothing that would leave him inclined to do otherwise) use his fourth shift to get in.

Do your wizards all work part-time as dentists?

Yeah, like I said about 6 times, Trapfinding would have been great for one of you to have here.

Ixrul teleports into the room, but runs afoul of the last trap: A Greater Glyph of Warding, he realizes as it goes off.

A column of pure white flame shoots up from the floor, incinerating Ixrul.

9d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 1, 3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4) = 29

Note: "Incinerated" is fluff...I think Ixrul forgot to update his HP, because Sandra Channeled for +14 HP to everyone. Also you get a Ref save for half whenever you post your next action.

"Hopefully the door opens from the other side...."

Couldn't you have sent your fermilier through the hole?

reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 Saves versus a constructed glyph, since the guy couldn't cast it.

Greater glyph is sixth level, btw. The guy could only cast up to normal glyph. Also, that glyph is at cl 18, which seems higher than intended.

Not quite. Glyphs of Warding are permanent, so he used a scroll for this one, and then used it to deliver Flamestrike, at his Caster Level of 9. If it were just a Blast Glyph it would have been 4d8.

Meaning the DC was 21, so you fail. Which puts you at 16+14-29 = 1 HP.

"Just as planned."

Ixrul casts infernal healing on himself before casting detect magic on the treasure in the room. He also checks if there is a locking mechanism on the inside.

Tried to edit it to add this a split second too late.

Regardless, Ixrul will send his familiar around to touch things before he does, staying well back while it does so.

The little dinosaur encounters no more surprises, and the door is easily unlocked from inside.

We loot it and the upstairs area and anything on the ground floor as well.

Ixrul especially searches for the wizard's spell book.

Do note that he will not open it or touch it directly.

Ixrul does not locate the Wizard's spellbook.

All in all, you gain 5 points of Plunder from the looting of the place.

Ixrul will not leave without that spell book.

"We're going to interrogate some citizens, find out where he stayed. I want that Dan boom."

What loot did we get?

"Im going for the stores, if anyone wants to come along."

You don't find the spellbook. Nobody knows where the spellbook is.

The spellbook is not somewhere you can find it.

It's not even in town, for all you know.

Edit: Guys, this is just like any other Plunder grabbing mission. You get a bunch of trade goods, expensive furniture, spices, silks, that sort of thing, that adds up to a certain amount of Plunder.

I can roll on the random items table and subtract it from the 5 Plunder you get, if you want.

but we got his headband and the spellbook is more of a part of his gear than that ;_;

"Let's go."

He doesn't need to have his spellbook on him, though.

Relax, nerd. There's plenty of casters in the (Inner) sea.

fiiine

You escape, the townsfolk too afraid to stop you after you slaughtered the main fighting force of the place.

Where to?

Our boat, I'd imagine.

The crew heads to their boat, and sit there until the pirate hunters show up and blow their ship to hell.

The end. What are we playing next?

...Or maybe you want to specify an actual destination?

Hmm. Lessee. We need 10 plunder to apply for freecaptainhood, so maybe do more looting? Also, we need to sell that throne we got.

The main issue with the throne is you don't know what it is, so you don't know wat it's worth. You'd need to visit a library to re-roll History with a small bonus.

What plunder are you in the mood for?

-Another town (moderate to high difficulty, moderate to high rewards)
-A merchant vessel (low difficulty, low reward)
-Another pirate vessel (high difficulty, very high reward)

We did end up IDing it successfully. And I'm thinking towns are a good target - pirates and we risk being unable to retreat.

From now on, though, we approach this like a SWAT team, not like a bunch of hooligans.

Ah, right. We can just say you sold that in town last time.

Everybody gets another 500 gp.

Ixrul will grab the head of a corpse on the way out.

I need to make some Isitoq.

Ixrul grabs a head. Arron grabs a few whole bodies to shove in his larder for a while.

"Arron, don't you know..."

Ixrul pauses dramatically. "... to stop when you're ahead?"

Jrahk briefly considers punching Ixrul in the face, but decides it isn't worth the risk of giving the wizard brain damage.

But yeah, let's find another town.

From now on, though, we approach this like a SWAT team, not like a bunch of hooligans.

Wait, you lost me at "don't be a hooligan".

"Arron, don't you know..."

Ixrul pauses dramatically. "... to stop when you're ahead?"

"That joke was so bad it made me think for a moment you were rotten enough to eat."

Look, pretend they're streamers and we got called in to swat them. Simple enough.

The most promising target within your means is a slightly larger port town on one of the small isles that dot the Shackles. This one is likely to be hazardous in a different way, as there's a good chance the sentries will see your ship coming from afar, and mount an effective counterattack long before you reach the island proper.

So like they'll send longboats to wreck us?

"We're pirates, just dress up as merchants and fly a merchant flag, then rob them blind!"

So like they'll send longboats to wreck us?

Maybe.

Ixrul sends one of his Sahuagin to the bottom of the ocean before creating two Isitoq.

Alright, ready up, boys. Pick your spells wisely, Ace.

Ixrul crafts a scroll of fly at CL 5 (12.5 * 3 * 5 = 187.5 GP) and a scroll of make whole at CL 5 (12.5 * 2 * 5 = 125 GP).

-311.5 GP

Also, remind me to get Greater Make Whole when we next hit a port.

Also, is there a small port we could stop by on the way? I need to buy some cheap gear, most of it less than 50 GP.

You could stop back home!

... I really want these power components. I suppose I have no other choice.

Ixrul will purchase the following power components. (I'm using Archives of Nethys because that has the same stuff you'd find on the d20pfsrd alchemical equipment page, but focused on the reagents exclusively. It is official paizo material.)

Also, would it be possible to use power components in scroll crafting? I think it technically would - you expend it in crafting like another component. If so, he'll do that on the Fly scroll crafted earlier with magnesium - obviously by waiting until reaching port. Assuming that's allowed.

He will also buy a bandolier and a waterproof bag (on which he will cast Extended Book Ward, rendering it entirely waterproof) for 5 SP each. He will store his scrolls in the bag and his metamagic rods on the bandolier.

Go for it.

Cool, -1 more GP. And -((12.5 * 1 * 1) + 5 = 17.5) more GP for a gold-augmented scroll of Infernal Healing.

Just to be clear, you realize that would simply make Infernal Healing heal one more HP, right? Total. Not make it Fast Healing 2.
