A Push of the Fates.... Zakhara... You Jewel!

Game Master Insnare

You did for a bunch but there is a lot. The sheikh has compiled most of everything.

So is everything else nonmagical? We got a lot to sell.

I did not say any of that. Your party has a lot of magical items that haven't been identified.

The identify spell can only be used on five items at a time.

identify

I thought Fadilah already identified them. We got a long trip ahead of us, though, so that's fun.
We got ~32 items we need identifying. So 6-7 casts to study our entire haul.

So, I am willing to retcon 2 nights worth or 2 castings of Identify, currently.

Sounds good

Night 1: We will spend them to study the items highlighted in green in the campaign log (link.
Gold Mirror Frames
Remnants of the mirror trap (Gate of Vanity)

Scroll of Azaltin
Azaltin’s study: Too late have I realized the Loregiver’s warnings. Immortality is a curse, not a treasure. No man nor woman should bear this burden, which I only shouldered through youthful pride. Rest assured that The Eleven Baneful Gates has been destroyed. It can tempt mortals no further.

Night 2: Here we will also cover the second batch of stuff highlighted in green.
Golden Scarab Brooch
14 carat brooch made of gold
Al Anwahr dungeon/11 Baneful Gates (https://paizo.com/campaigns/v5748p75ivjsr/gameplay&page=75#3713)
Shaddad’s gold cloth
Shaddad’s Tomb Adventure

Shaddad’s gold crown
Shaddad’s Tomb Adventure
Shaddad’s red brocade robes
Shaddad’s Tomb Adventure
1 silver piece and 14 platinum pieces of ancient origin and having the name in Chun saying Azaltin
Shaddad’s Tomb Adventure

So basically 10 things from the Al Anwahr adventure and Shaddad's tomb adventure.

You want to roll for Fadilah?

How many rolls?

Start off with the fetch rolls

Well, fortunately identify is a common 1st-level spell, so it's fairly easy to grab: 75% for Fadi.

Fetch spell: identify: 1d100 ⇒ 55
Fetch spell: identify: 1d100 ⇒ 9
Fetch spell: identify: 1d100 ⇒ 14
Fetch spell: identify: 1d100 ⇒ 66

No trouble getting several of them on successive days. (The lengthy casting time means it's probably not something she can do a bunch in one day.)

Day 1 casting 5d100 ⇒ (43, 97, 36, 62, 21) = 259

Item 1: There is only a slight hint of magic left on the frames by destroying the mirrors, you feel the enchantment on it has almost completely disappeared.

Item 2: You feel that the silverware automatically poisons the any food or drink put in it.

Item 3: The carpet has preservative magic placed on it so, it will not fade in sunlight or the fibers will not tatter over time. You could cut the carpet with a knife but natural wear and tear does not effect it. Plus, the carpet is ancient.

Item 4: You do not know if or what magic is on the comb.

Item 5: The book of lion is not magical

Day 2: 5d100 ⇒ (43, 64, 59, 22, 64) = 252

Item 1: Scarab is a scarab of deception

Item 2: The gold cloth you are not sure whether it is magical or not.

Item 3: The crown you are also not sure if it magical.

Item 4: It is a robe of protection +1

Item 5: Not sure if its magic.

Interesting, so we have one ever-clean carpet, one set of silverware that poisons everything, a scarab that blocks divination magic, and one magic robe that adds armor.

Any claimants?

Robe would be great for me, but the real question is, is it stylish?

Fetch spell: detect magic: 1d100 ⇒ 50

I thought we had did this initially; finding out what's magic saves a lot of time on identifying stuff that doesn't need it.

Let's just say it *is* stylish so you can wear it. :)

It has the retro look which is all the rage in the free cities.

If you choose to claim it, just give me the heads up so I can reflect that on the log.
The log is also open for everyone to edit, if anyone'd rather pick up stuff themselves.

Team FYI, I will be traveling from early tomorrow until Monday, so my posting will be sparse.

Travel safe.

Hey everyone.

I'll be bowing out of this campaign due to a general distancing from online play. I hope everyone has fun with the rest of the game. It was fun.

I will keep the sheikh's log online for a month or two if anyone wants to take it over to use it or take over it. If you'd like to take ownership of the log, I can facilitate that via google drive.

Take care everyone.

Best of luck in other endeavors my friend!

That log is a work of art Sheikh!

Sorry to see you go - wish you all the best, and good gaming offline.

Sheikh, I am sad to see you go. You were definitely a great addition to the game and campaign. If you ever reconsider and want to rejoin feel free to send me a PM and you are more than welcome to return.

Okay, quick review for everyone:

--The circular room has a slope that is downward to the west

--There was a room with many wine jugs (mostly cracked/evaporated) and the skeleton of a winemaker genie and the remains of an apricot-smelling wine. (Room 4).
--There was a store room with tons of stuff in it, we got some loot there (Room 6)
--There was a buried room (Room 9), with skeletal feet sticking out of a pile of dirt. We got a beautifully made jambiya from there (likely magical, but we haven't checked)
--Room 5 was an office with scrolls, and one of them was a map of the basement dungeon (where we are), which labeled the other rooms.
--The battle we were just in was in room 12 (summoning room).

These are the ones we have not visited:

--Room 7 is supposed to be an armory
--Room 8 was the wizard's study
--Room 10 is a hall (and has a secret door leading down)
--Room 11 was a barracks

I say we go in order

on the map that would mean backtracking a lot, and the secret door is in 10... but whatever is really fine. It's fictional inefficiency, after all. :)

Just to confirm - those blinded are still blind, correct?

I think the party would wait until those blinded could see, so unless Zairiah says otherwise I would rule that you guys have waited to go to the next room.

Ok, cool.

Yeah, I agree that we waited.

Also... copied the loot sheet part out of Ibn's document, cleaned it up a little, and posted it here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PE5hpz0COGxMsQ8EBSLNVUIryhCXs4c3HHh bVzw3S-o/edit?usp=sharing.

(But you can always also get to it from the link in my tagline.)

Let me know if you want any changes to the layout, or information that isn't included there, but also feel free to put your name on anything you've claimed.

I know there are things that were claimed in the past that aren't on there at all... if you want anything recorded for posterity you can put it on the claimed / using tab, or the sold / lost tab too if you want.

I am getting an error saying the file does not exist Zairiah.

Try again... I copied the link again and replaced the one above.

Or try clicking on the one from my tagline instead. Not sure if Paizo is messing it up.

It is... it is leaving a space in it (before the bVzw3S-o part)... if you take the space out, it should work.

Yep, working now. It was the space ;) Thanks!

I'm taking a short vacation without Internet access from Wednesday, 5 June until 10 June, and will be unavailable during that time.

Enjoy!

Travel safe!

With Summer here in the Northern hemisphere and schools out, I'm sure many of us will be taking some family vacations. I know we will!

Have a good trip.

Also I cant Turn Undead

So, that's exactly what I was expecting to happen... in this edition are rogues not able to detect magical traps, or was it somehow technically not a trap even though it obviously is?

If I remember correctly, in 2e Thieves can indeed detect and disarm magical traps, though I believe at a severely reduced chance of success (don't have my PHB here right now).

I also feel that in 2e as well as earlier editions of the game, we need to be more creative in the way we approach these situations - if something looks like trap, and this definitely did, we need to try and outsmart it. Example: how does the chest open? Is I a latch or a lock? If a latch maybe we can tie a rope to it and open it from the doorway, closing the door if the armors animate?

What if we try to do the same, but instead drag the chest outside, close the door, and THEN try to open it?

What if we try to disassemble the armors piece by piece? What if we drag the armors outside, close the door, and THEN try to open the chest?

Stuff along these lines :D

It is a trap in the sense of these copper golems would spring to life upon a physical attempt to pick the lock.

It wasn't a trap in the sense of there was a hidden spike in the mechanism which would poison you or exploding rune.

Maybe you could have tried to don the armor instead and control them from the inside.

In 2e, thieves have half the chance of normal to find a magical trap, whereas in 1e it was not possible.

Heroes, I’m hopping on a family cruise for just over a week. I should be back online on 22 June.

Bot me as needed.

Lucky you. Enjoy!

Ok Heroes, today begins the last of great adventure of my summer. I'm off to Summer Camp with the Scouts BSA Troop today for a week. That will be immediately followed by my family's reunion.

I should be back online and ready to continue saving, or subjugating, the world on 19 July.

Enjoy your time off!

Ha ha... awesome play, Aggrammar. :)

Ha ha... awesome play, Aggrammar. :)

Only trying to help :D

Hey everyone, I will be traveling with the family from tomorrow until the 21st of July. My posting will be sparse or most likely, nonexistent ;)

So feel free to bot me as needed.

Back.

Let me see what I've missed.

Hey GM, what are your thoughts on the Zeitgeist AP? Is other material needed to play/run it, or just the AP?
