oi! it is a lot to process. First things first... I will take a crack at selling gems (minus unicorn horns) and splitting the gold and then work on leveling and updating my 4 character sheets.
I will probably try to search Rome for a ring of eloquence, an item which I was made aware of recently that will let me talk while in animal form. (gold cost is only 3,500)
Also, of the loot, can I have the freedom of movement ring? The weapon's don't help.
What percentage of our gold haul should go to outfitting Leed's castle?
Johann Kaltgeboren |
also, I will plan on just holding onto that jewel from the earth elementals. No one can afford it, and it will set up fun future conflict...
Johann Kaltgeboren |
Ok, selling/converting items and smaller coins into gold, we have 46828 gold.
Divide by 6 and we have 7804 each.
I would propose that everyone take their share, but if you want to donate some to Leeds Castle, feel free to do so.
Johann needs an AC boost so my money might head toward enhancing my armor.
Also someone else can take the freedom of movement ring. It is an amazing item but I need the ring slots for my protection +3 ring and the ring of eloquence.
All the other items are on the spreadsheet and can be claimed.
Johann Kaltgeboren |
MJ, just as a note for you, I added up my wealth. Not counting my many many potions and assorted random goodies, but just my gold and current items, I am right about 150,000. So perfect for a level 13.5 character. :)
Here is a list of things I plan to do with your permission, once in a metropolis:
-buy ring of eloquence
-sell my wild samurai armor (i can't use metal armor without penality)
-sell my acid mighty fists +3 amulet
-upgrade +2 wild hide armor to +3
- buy a cloak of resistance +4
level up:
bear claws are 2d6 now instead of d8
small little changes like HP and skills
also I actually got this last level, i can make iterative attacks with natural weapons. I usually only do this with snake with his bite and I am up to 3 attacks.
that's it!
Lord Perpireen McGibel |
lord p, would have used thart Book, Tome of Clear Thought [137,500 gp] (+5) but its value means its better off sold and split up.
Storm Dragon |
I think we should give it to Mwikali, because it's an enormous power boost for her.
BTW, yes, Alphonse can make Foereaper +5 instead of keen.
Haha thanks, though I don't think it's relevant now; the effect wears off after 11 minutes anyway.
So! Level 12 and the conclusion of a big mid level adventure arc: The Lost Mines of King Solomon! Well done, Champions!
To let you in on my ideas for the next leg of this journey:
The heroes now have a considerable surplus of treasure for their level, I believe, so for game balance purposes, I will likely dole out very little in the way of monetary rewards for the next couple levels, and let you grow into your new high powered gear.Your PCs no doubt have goals and ideas for how to spend this great wealth in fighting against the evils that plague their world.
Sir Alphonse has (as the devious Fates have decreed) found the deed to Leeds Castle and has been appointed by divine messenger to found a new holy order of knights to fight against the Luciferians. A lot of excess treasure could easily go toward repairing the ruined castle and fortifying it further, as well as equipping recruits.
We will move forward in the timeline to the winter of 1437, when the adventurers have returned to Anfa, found things to be as Shaka the tiger described them--The Portugese Prince Henry picking up where the conquered Arab Slave Trade left off...
Are we interested in some RP and tactical play dealing with the Portuguese slave trade in Morroco? Or shall I montage it (with your posts to provide flavor and player agency, of course).
The situation in Morroco is this:
Prince Henry of Portugal has captured Anfa, Sir Landry is Emir of Marrakesh, nominally supporting the crusade against the Arabs, but not pleased with the way the Portuguese have merely taken over the Arab Slave Trade rather than quell it.We can have the PCs lead the forces of Marrakesh in a rebellion against the Portuguese and break up the Slave Trade in North Africa for good, or they can return at once to Rome to continue hounding the Antichrist Nero in his treacherous labyrinth of catacombs beneath the Eternal City.
What is the party's will?
Both sound fun, but I was under the impression that we are under a pretty tight time crunch, right? We have a few weeks to spare I'd thought, but no more.
Johann Kaltgeboren |
We can't get rid of a +5 tome. It wouldn't be right; something like that shows up once a campaign.
Ihrin Ardlean Dracul |
Ihrin would take the Katana and Wakizashi, And with her going into another level of Unchained rogue, she'll take Katana as a finesse weapon. Not sure about the other stuff and the money, but I'll look at it and see what to sell and upgrade.
Ihrin is focused on stopping the spread of Arabs into Europe so the more she can destabilize the forces of the Arabs the more she is willing to help

I vote for montage of the Portugese storyline, though I am biased (as my original table did not deal with Portugese so I am more interested in Rome).
Mwikali |
Mwikali wants Africa free of foreign slave trade. So much so she would go to war with Portugal itself.

1 person marked this as a favorite. |

Thinking of something awesome for this, whether as a montage or played out, that I think you will like. I've been watching Disney + (Love the Mandalorian!), and revisiting the Jungle Book and The Lion King...
The Ogon Fox |
Regarding loot, Foxy's AC has been WAY low for a long time. I need to get bracers of armor and possibly an upgraded ring of deflection, too. I'll have to look at values of stuff sometime, but I think I'll be selling Barakuda. The problem I've found with that weapon is that while I'm using it, my Jabbing Style feats are wasted. If I'm only getting 1 or 2 hits in a round it does better damage than my unarmed strike (because of the holy and acid damage; so this isn't true against non-evil enemies), but if I can get more hits Jabbing Master makes my unarmed strikes do better. And my attack bonus is higher unarmed.
Regarding story direction, I had the same feeling as Alphonse that it felt like we were pressed for time to deal with Nero again.
But I do actually really want, as a player, to deal with Prince Henry. So if MJ's storytelling can show that we're not foolishly abandoning the whole world to immediate and total destruction by Wormwood and Nero ;) , I'd like to fight against the Portuguese slavers.
The Ogon Fox |
I think I'm going to choose the share memory qinggong power for my 8th level unchained monk ki power, because that's a really cool spell to be able to cast for free/at-will.
Michael Johnson 66 |
I know I'm kind of being a jerk by making the party choose between tough choices (immediately return to Europe to stop Wormwood and Nero from moving forward with their villainy, or take the time to free Africa from the Slave Trade), but I kind of feel like it's part of the GM's job. LOL!

Another band of adventurers (All The Young Dudes, tabletop every Friday night) is up to 10th level now, and can keep Evil busy for a little while while the Champions (you lot) deal with Africa.
Right now, they are playing match maker between Grossevapour (adult turquoise dragon daughter of Grunrreaver the ancient green that gassed Paris on St Valentine's Day and ancient female white dragon Rimflügel) and adult copper dragon of the Black Forest Kupferflugel in South England, hoping to turn both adult dragons against Grossevapour's evil parents...
Johann Kaltgeboren |
i think it is really interesting that all of these other PCs exist in this universe.
As I said before, I am less interested in Africa but will stick with the group. But having missed the entire Africa plot line to date, I don't understand what is going on and won't be able to help move the plot forward in any meaningful way, so I think those who want to do Africa need to up their posting rates.
Michael Johnson 66 |
i think it is really interesting that all of these other PCs exist in this universe.
Yes. This campaign world is alive and active with a couple different groups all playing in the same timeline. They have heard of your adventures as well, and endeavor to do their part to help in the fight of Good vs Evil.
All the Young Dudes consist of:
Brutalitops the suli Unchained Barbarian 10 played by Joe Smith
Badger the wood elf druidess 10 and her dire badger companion Mugwart played by Joe's wife Nikki
Olaf Razorglaive, multiclass mutt 10 Viking played by my buddy Ray
Flick the tiefling arcanist 9 played by Kate Fal coner
Arturo Bandini the human Italian cleric 9 played by Kate's hubby Nate
Sister Sally the human cleric 8 played by Ashley Goff
Michael Johnson 66 |
Then there are the Fierce Ones, in a future timeline (Post ApoCthulhu campaign set in 2013 after the Great Old Ones return to Earth on the Mayan Doomsday Apocalypse)...
And various other smaller groups playing in earlier timelines (Ray's Magnus Ericsson and Company, playing in South England in 1349 during the worst of the Black Plague and Hundred Years War...)

Fun little factoid; based on context clues from other movies, Simba would have died well before the current day; Scar's pelt is shown at one point during Hercules. =)
Of course there's nothing stopping it from being a different Simba (the name would be common enough), just though that was funny.
Exactly. This would be like King Simba the 50th or something like that.

Does anybody else have ideas about what their character wealth is currently?
I've tallied mine up, and it looks like my currency (including my 7,804 share of the recent haul) + gear value is at 61,940. The character wealth by level table says that a 12th level character should have 108,000 of wealth.

Yes, everyone, please calculate your total wealth so I can see what I need to do to balance things out. Ogon Fox is under-geared by about 47,000 gp, which is a considerable amount. I'd like to know about where everyone else is, so I know who I need to give more treasure to.
Johann Kaltgeboren |
I'm at about 150,000. That is because the wild armor and amulet which you made specifically for me are a crazy high price. The wild armor is almost necessary to make me not totally suck, though. (stupid class features)

i mentioned this before, but this guy is my inspiration for johann.
Lord Perpireen McGibel |
I have lord P with around 120,000gp of items,
Which make up his new Fey Lord outfit that Rumpelstiltskin made from his rob of eyes and other items.
Johann Kaltgeboren |
So we go to fight lots of devils... What consumables should we have packed and ready to go?
Johann's holding a bunch of things in his inventory (which he will pass out to anyone.)
We have a bunch of fire resistance and fire protection. But what else?
We also have a whole bunch of equipment in the unclaimed loot pile. Including the +5 tome. People need to get in there and take things, otherwise I guess we sell it all.
Michael Johnson 66 |
Alphonse' gear (including the Ring of Freedom of Movement he just picked up) comes out to 102k gp (101k in items, 1k in liquid assets). It is 62k gp without that item.
Not nearly what I thought he had. Okay, Alphonse could use some extra gear too.
Johann Kaltgeboren |
okay, we will cross that out. Anyone else want something from that list...? I am thinking of selling off what we have and then buying a wand of cure serious wounds or something similar.
(I refuse to go the most efficient way and buy 20 wands of cure light wounds. MJ has given us lots of money and I hate gaming the system.)
Lord Perpireen McGibel |
Lord P is fine, he has and new outfit that dose what he needs. He also has his own magic now and so can if needed be of use.
As you can see he is more a thinker and Diplomat than a out and out fighter.
Ihrin Ardlean Dracul |
Ihrin took the Katana and Wakizashi, after that its all fair game
Johann Kaltgeboren |
Ihrin, you took these? They are still on the "to be claimed" list.
A +2 holy flaming katana named Torakiba (Tiger Fang)
A +2 holy frost wakizashi named Aisukiba (Ice Tusk)
Or maybe people aren't using the spreadsheet? In which case we need to talk more clearly with each other.
Ihrin Ardlean Dracul |
I editied her part except the Wakizashi the spreedsheet doesn't like it
Wait you mean the other one Yeah I'll edit that

so, yes... we need to talk more clearly with each other then!
go to link above, "party treasure"

I figured with Lord P, Alphonse and I will figure out via the spell that something is gravely amiss.
