GM Dak - Shattered Star 1

Game Master Dakcenturi

I've survived the wild woods and Sapher is back to bumble along.

Caroliss, just thinking can you cast Bit of Luck and Copycat on the same round? Wouldn't that be two standard actions, or is there something I am missing?

Copycat is a move action!

The Varisian Pilgrim archetype lets her treat allies as if they were the cleric, which is how Caroliss can create copycats of her allies.

Are the bad guys undead? Would be happy to channel positive energy to get them, if so.

They look skeletal on the map...

knowledge religion: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 3 = 23 if Dak will allow Sapher to tell.

I'm back! :)

Going to delay to see the results of Caroliss's channel.

It's nice to see some diversity in our enemies. As somebody who normally plays a lost of casters, at low levels I can feel useless as the martials do all the heavy lifting, and in this game I've really gotten to enjoy being in the spotlight cleaving through enemies. It's good to see that this campaign won't let us brute force our way through combats.

Oh man. Just HAD to go and say something about enemy selection to the GM, didn't you?!

Quietly moves behind Drask

Running away sounds good to me!

Sounds like running is our only option. Going out to get supplies.
Unless anyone else has an idea? we could stop by the mite king on the way out.

Sure. Sounds like a plan.

No flasks of vials or anything? Ouch, time to go shopping when we get in town.

We used almost all we had on the last swarm. And most of that we had picked up from the thieves.

Another option is on the map we passed two empty rooms with open doors. We could try and lure the centipedes in there and slam the door shut... if the seal on the door looks good enough to block them.

I had a flask of acid that I used, too. Agreed on mite king!

Unless you guys want to RP going back to town and shopping and coming back, feel free to let me know what you plan/want to do in town and then we can skip ahead to you getting back here.

Don't we need to encounter the mites first, though? It might be fun to play out the return (or non-return) of the crown.

Oh good call.

I only see a silver bracelet since the frescos, right? Unless I'm mistaken?

Also, I need to bum some share to keep the amulet of the souk. Anyone cover me until the next round of loot? I also need 15 gold to learn burning hands from a spellbook. :)

I don't mind. Sapher will lend away. Plus burning hands is very much needed, so yes.

We also should all buy some acid flasks, and possibly some vermin repellant.

There's a few other alchemical items we could consider, too.

How about

70 2 light crossbows
36 bolts
275 11 studded leather
100 10 short swords
100 msk chain shirt

for the mites. I think there are 12 of them. Gives each of them either a short sword or light crossbow, and all of them armor other than the boss which has the chain shirt. It puts it a little over the 500 hundred but we'd not be able to sell them for full price anyway.

If anyone had a desire for the chain shirt we can redo it of course.

Good job all, google is now asking me if I want them to translate the gameplay page.

As far as downtime goes, Drask will see what he can buy once we have the loot divided up, then will probably spend any spare time earning some more coin in his pit fighting profession.

Sapher needs to find her familiar, the emissary from her goddess.

It’s a Mite.

Um... no. No No No No… :)

Clearly the mites are your chosen people Saph. This was a sign from above! Love them as you do your companions! Your goddess has spoken.
:D

I have some ideas for Ez for downtime, but it depends on how much loot we end up with and how much flexibility the GM will provide me for letting Ez fall off the deep end.

We can name him Ter.

How about

70 2 light crossbows
36 bolts
275 11 studded leather
100 10 short swords
100 msk chain shirt

Remember that they can only really use small items, so keep that in mind. You may want to just buy them some small gear.

Yep. but this is still better than the mites have now(I think), and covers the expense of buying the bracer. Unless Dak is willing to allow us to just trade medium for small, this is probably the easiest.

Who wants the bracers, btw? Sapher is NOT keeping them :)

Oh I marked on the loot list the things I listed as given to the Mites, in light but still royal purple. Didn't want to remove them if people disagreed.

To be honest I’m a bit confused by the loot list. I dunno what is available for real and/or what my current gold haul is for this most recent delve...

The second block of stuff is everything we found, I think. The summary table on the right is the money you get (after deductions for your share). You can claim items if you want to keep them, which reduces your money!

And up in the top it’s saying something about a loan between us? I (the player) am confused but I’m sure Veltariel would remember as it’s only been like...a couple days.

Yup, I loaned you some money from my last share so you could keep the boots. Everything made sense at the time.

S0 how much of this share do i owe ya back?

Sapher is gonna spot me a bit to pay for the amulet of the Souk and to learn a spell, so I don’t necessarily need anything, but anything leftover after you finish your purchases would be helpful. Take care of yourself first. :)

I think the confusion is she doesn't know how much in total she owes you. From looking at the spreadsheet it wasn't really clear to me either.

I believe it’s 550 gp.

I'm scared of messing with the loot sheet, so I'm just going to state what I want to purchase here.

Scroll of Magic Weapon
Scroll of Obscuring Mist
Scroll of Protection from Evil
Scroll of Remove Sickness
Scroll of Unbreakable Heart
Scroll of Enlarge Person
Scroll of Silent Image
Holy Water
Alchemist's Fire x2

Total cost: 240gp

Hey, given what we're about to fight, does everyone want to buy Vermin Repellent for 5gp each? It causes vermin swarms to pass a Fort DC15 check to reach us.

Sounds like a very good idea.

Sounds good Caroliss. Do we need some alchemist fire or something with splash are you going to spell the swarms?

I see two sections of party loot. If I didn't spend any money nor claim any gear in either segment, I should have 1274+650=1924 gp. Is that correct?

I THINK so! <said loudly cause the louder you are the righer you are> :)

We decided not to include the shard of pride in the loot listings, as well as any other shards we gather. Meaning Ez has claimed nothing.

So on to Sapher... I think I had 650, subtracted 312 for the masterwork hammer, the 1274.02 (don't forget the .02 Ez), loaned 725.98 to Mok to balance the cool amulet, and now wish to spend 155 (on alchemical things and a bag for her chicken) leaving my dwarf with 713.04 in profit! Which isn't enough to do anything with at the moment so...

If anyone needs a loan of 713.04 to get magical bows, axes, or mighty fists, you are welcome to it... if that amount is right that is?

Yep. The best splash item in my estimation is a flask of acid. Consider buying some other misc items too (alchemical creations, remedies, tools).

You should also consider taking the bracers of armor +1! I don't need it because I actually wear armor (wierdly) with no arcane spell failure. +1 to your AC without armor, as a monk, isn't bad.

My first big purchase goal is a +1 Adaptive enchantment on my bow. Which will cost a cool 3,000.

Followed by an eventual Efficient Quiver.

But those two together are a long time coming. Until then... gonna work on just modifying my arrow selection a bit...

Just made me some better arrows. Going to try and save my coin for a bow upgrade ASAP.

Drask is interested in trading in his breasplate for a MWK Agile Breastplate. He should be able to sell his armor for 100gp, and buy the MWK Agile version for 550gp, costing him 450gp in total and really helping with some of his ACPs.

I would also like to buy some War Paint.

Are either/both of these available in town?

Sounds good Caroliss. Do we need some alchemist fire or something with splash are you going to spell the swarms?

I'd suggest folks have Alchemist's Fire or Acid Flasks handy for any swarms. Mokhasi memorizing something like Burning Hands is bound to be useful. Caroliss can memorize and drop Sound Bursts--not the best damage but comes with an interesting effect.
