Eberron - Echoes of the Past (Inactive)

Game Master Dennis Harry

Let's see, +3 cc, +4 stat, +2 MW tools gives +9 without spending too many resources on a single skill
Yeah, level+8~10 is reasonable for a specialist. Very good, even.

Broulnindre only has +13 without the evolution point, and +10 (level + 7) without spending a feat on Skill Focus xD

How likely are EE and Kana to be injured at any given time?
Traps are dangerous enough for a healthy character...

I'll get a +3 on my skills as is, but without trapfinder i could take another trait to get my spellcraft up, which seems a bit lonely as well^^
I can give +2 to others as well.

It'd be very nice to have a second chance at identifying magic items that doesn't involve paying a wizard somewhere, or having a second chance to identify a dangerous spell of the >FRA casting time variety xD

@EE: did you want the Warforged Repair Kit as well? I don't know much about Warforged, but it seems like we should keep that kit if we don't have one yet.

which reminds me

anyone else want any of the already identified loot? (listed here and here)
Or were ya'll waiting for everything to get ID'd before calling dibs? :P

I already have one of those. It's more or less a Healing Kit for Warforged, and it uses the Craft Skill (or others which make sense) instead of Heal.

On Identifying, I was planning on getting the feat to cast some Sphere Magic to take Divination, but that can take ages. On the other hand, casting Detect Magic is enough to be able to roll an identifying check, and I could have that by next level IF Shadow allows me to change one of my talents AND pick an Legendary talent next level, Magehunter's Vision, which basically allows to roll Spellcraft as if casting Detect Magic (I don't know your policies on Legendary Talents and honestly, some of them seem quite legendary while others are quite meh).

Since EE is planned as a detective, knowledge and perception focused guy, it wouldn't hurt his concept at all, honestly.

I am here, will update tomorrow, sorry for the delays this past 7-8 days.

Get as much rest as you need, no need to get burned out over a game ^^
(not even for a really good one like this...)

er, I mean...

Welcome back
&
You can do it, we believe in you! ^^

No problem, mate.

No rush. It's all good.

I know that Frank E identified some of the items, as we are about to go into sell mode I'll reveal the details in my next post. Just wanted to put together a game plan for how to proceed next. I MAY bring in a few PCs from a now dead Eberron game which will change the course a bit of what I had planned next just an FYI. I know tat is a bog group but that is ok, attrition over time whittles down numbers so I am not worried.

I'm itching! If an android can ever have itches, that is.

Hmmm spelling errors yikes!

Welcome back!
And don't worry too much about those, they're spelling errors in a discussion thread; it's not like they're math errors in a game-play thread...

Also: Link to those ID rolls (also linked from Frank's gameplay post)

Welcome back!
Even more people? 8 is already pretty big^^

But... are we really 8?

I think if everyone sticks around, then we would have 8 players + GM (GM is a player, right? so 9 players?)
Some of us post more often than others, though, and that makes me a mixture of sad and curious about the effective size of that number...

I think some of that is because Shadow's games move slowly, and the rest is because half of us have no idea what is going on. We're just following along for now.

True, all we know about is a gold amulet xD

Then suddenly,
cultists!
CULTISTS EVERYWHERE!

Which reminds me, some part of me is very happy to have been part of The Cavalry for the big scary fight in the big scary room :3

Just so you know, there are consistent weird posting issues.
I've been posting several times, but the posts don't show up. Only on reload they show up. It seems when i forget that, they are lost.

I have that same problem, since that 2018 update :-(

True and now that the group is together that will change moving forward:-)

Busy week and weekend we march forward now once more.

Welcome back ^^

Also, does Frank not know the exact properties of the the potion that he rolled 25 on?
Spellcraft (potion): 25 - Healing.
It's fine if you didn't want to specify exactly what the potion is, or if the ID DC is non-standard, but you've definitely tickled my curiosity IRL :3

Cure Moderate Wounds :-)

So, no CL 11+ potion? Darn xD

Greetings! GM Shadow invited me here...

=)

Give me some time to catch up on what's going on and let the GM intro me somehow.

Unless somebody wants to give me a summary up to now?

maaaaayyyybeeeee

All I know for sure is there were some cultists doing something bad. They had a big snake buddy! xD

Also, I'm currently hopeful to get more gold for our lewt. I wonder if we could end up haggling with the same shopkeep at some point? xD

...and welcome!
If our party gets much bigger, it might become a block party xD

@Storyteller Shadow: will we RP the selling of the mundane loot as well? 'cause we have around 1000gp worth of non-magical stuff to sell
...hopefully at around half price to a more greedy shop-keep :P

Well then thank goodness as no block party can start without a Minotaur...

Nope, that we can just assume sold for 1/2 of value.

New (old) PCs, I will have a post up for all of you soon enough. You will be picking up where you left off, sort of...

I've always thought that, in Pathfinder, Identify only offered a +10 to the identifying roll, but nothing beyond the capabilities of Detect Magic.

Specifically, on the paragraph where it explains what happens on the 3rd round of study, the last phrase states:

"If the aura emanates from a magic item, you can attempt to identify its properties (see Spellcraft)."

In any case, if we're using a special rule or something, that's fine. I can't cast spells anyway, though I might have a plan for the future, in case you allow Legendary Talents, to be able to grasp some magic auras from objects. Fits an Investigator so well.

Damn, I stand corrected! I still run 3.5 so sometimes, I get mixed up...

Will post more details later, my bad folks!

Yeah no problem, even after 10 years i get confused myself sometimes :)
And that doesn't even take into consideration other systems.

As long as Shadow doesn't make us spend Gnosis for it...

I'll make you burn Willpower instead....

But we can avoid sanity damage at least, right...?

Oof, forgot about selling the mundane things.
@Storyteller Shadow: the chest we found was a "Small" Chest (worth 2gp, sellable for 1gp) and the darkweave clothing was a Burglar's Outfit (worth 100gp (darkweave)+ 5gp (base) = 105gp, sells for 52.5gp), right?
(Sorry, I kind of have to ask; my inner pedant wont leave me alone about that (probably) 35 sp of loot... or maybe I have an inner accountant?)

@Everyone: If those two assumptions of mine were correct, then (not counting the gems, the formula book, the quests, or the magic goodies) we get 1323.5gp to split (8 ways?)
(FYI, that includes the 30/15gp worth of mundane stuff Frank and EE are taking as part of their shares)

Also, IDK if ya'll want to sell the gems to the gnome, but Frank will want to keep as much of the high value/low weight stuff as possible :3
(via taking the moonstone as part of his share of loot, if necessary)

Also just getting here, per Storyteller's instruction. How is everyone doing?

This is a hell of big party

This is a hell of big party

Imagine the nasty stuff I can throw at you all when the party starts...

Oh dear...

*eyes the door*

BTW, how should we value the formula book that Sharon will almost certainly keep? Something around 100gp that makes the loot come out to a nice round number?
(My current understanding of our loot)

@Pink-Eye and Meridian?

From Shadow: We need to split up the treasure Backpack from our previous game and level up to 3rd.

I mainly just want the Magical Backpack (Handy Haversack) as part of my treasure. The rest we can split fairly I think, with my share including the pack itself.

Does that work for you?

Don't think I've met Meridian, but Dev briefly encountered Gauntlet and Pink-Eye when delivering the schema to Lady D'Vown a while back. From what I recall, we briefly scuffled over contact terms but everything ended friendly enough (read: nonviolent). Looking forward to the condensing of groups!

3 new players?

@Gauntlet - I don't think I ever even looked at the treasure. Anything in it a Warlock might find useful?

@Dev - We will meet soon enough. I hope you don't hate dragon-y peoples...

;)

Dragon-y people?
That's a pretty huge coincidence xD
Or maybe not 'cause dragons are kool? xD

@Gauntlet - I don't think I ever even looked at the treasure. Anything in it a Warlock might find useful?

;)

Here's what's left:

Center Pocket
• 80 arrows
• 80 bolts
• 50 feet of silk rope
• 7 bedrolls
• 7 waterskins
• 21 days trail rations.

Right Pocket
• 1 everbright lantern
• 1 flint and steel
• 1 healer’s kit
• 5 torches
• 3 sacks.

Left Pocket
• 3 vials of holy water
• 3 potions of cure light wounds
• A tiny rod of blue metal, three inches in length, with
a sapphire embedded at one end
• 1 pouch containing 150 pp
• 1 casket containing 500 gp (-70 gp)

We may want to check the items for magic particularly the three inch rod but I am good with you having the bag

I think the rod was supposed to be a key of some sort for the location we were heading for...

But it could be a wand of some sort too. Shadow?

He, he, he...

I have zero idea what the heck is happening.

He, he...
