Sigil; A Broken City of Doors (Inactive)

A discussion thread for all manner of things loot and planning based, or any number of other things.

So purchases, we probably have some stuff doubled up on if we don't adjust the stuff bought, and some things I'd rather replace if we're not bound for the Abyss. Things like I don't need holy water as much, but some non metal items and such might be good to have.

Thoughts?

Btw, I'm excited for this to get rolling in earnest. It's been a rough start, but this should be a fun game.

I'm interested in seeing where we can go with this myself. I can see quite a few possibilities for us.

I'd just like everyone to bear with me in regards to lore of the setting. I'm not particularly versed in 3.5 setting material having started with pathfinder and a lotta homebrew. Outside of specifically the underdark of the Forgotten Realms anyway. Part of what I like about Sigil is the seemingly "anything goes" nature of it all concerning the city.

Edit: As a word of advice, you can still question the outsiders (and one human) in the room for further details regarding your destination or details about the disappearances.

Sadly Planescape never made it to 3.5. Take your time catching up though.

Well, barring posts before the end of tomorrow, we'll be moving on as-is.

So guys, how do we handle gear like the wands that we were buying as teams? Just refund that cost and go without? Or do we want to get together and decide on some team stuff.

Our roster is pretty thin,

Telin is skills and some magical stuff but not spellcasting

Eleven is skills and alchemy and our ranged damage character

Gilly's a melee and trouble maker :)

And Tak, is a melee with some skills?

So we don't have any real spellcaster now, depending on how Sheila is played with the group.

I've said this before I'm willing to reroll Gilly as a caster if you want.

Buying team stuff is fine.

Buying team stuff is fine.

I don't think that's necessary, we just need to keep in mind what our strengths and weaknesses are and work around those.

Previously team abyss was buying a fully charged wand of infernal healing and partially charged wands of lesser resoration, bless and I think something else? Each with 10 charges. I think team mechanics was going to buy a similar set, but not exactly the same.

We will denifnitly need healing magic, as we don't have it "in house" is there anything else we need?

Sheila can bring plenty of healing spells if it's something that concerns the party. As I mentioned, with the way things have shifted, she can move to a more supporting role. That'd be easier for me to account for as well. Besides, who can look at this and not think "white mage?"

Ok guys, we need to nail down exactly what we spent as a group and have equipment wise before we get into any fights where we might need that stuff. I know it's not the most exciting thing, but let's get it out of the way. Takin has spent 900gp passed the starting gold or 3000, which left some amount for group stuff previously. I'm not sure what the money breakdown is this time around. I think we each had effectively 1000gp credit, is that right?

1200 if you were split it evenly. 6000 total, keeping what was previously bought would subtract from it of course.

Cool, should we count Sheila still in party gear buying or leave her out of that?

I have 1065.7 gp that can be used for party gear.

Nice! I have about 280.

So prevously on Team Abyss we had this figured:

A fully charged infernal healing, 10 charge lesser resto, and 10 charge bless.

Which works out to:

That's a cost of 750+900+150=1800

So do we want do do the same set, a different set, add subtract? How do we want to split the costs?

That works out to 450 four ways or 360 five ways. Either option Gilly will pay for Telin since he's fond of the basher.

I have ajusted Tlin's gear (since he wasn't bound to the Abyss things like holy water and a ton of durable cold iron arrows don't make much sense) and so now I have 300 to contribute to team gear. I do appreciate Gilly's offer to cover for me.

As far as what to buy goes, I think the wands picked out make a lot of sense. Is there any others we should consider?

I do think in time Telin will probably come to enjoy Gilly's pranks. He might even be up for participating in a few :D

So, it's been pretty quiet. Are we all still here? What are we waiting on?

Also is everyone cool with some group wands? How do we want to split the cost? Are the three previously mentioned good?

Still here and what you proposed is fine

I was waiting for input from Johnny and Archae on the cash splitting front before continuing. That and the face to face game I mentioned is running slower than I anticipated due to one of the players moving about now. Since it seems Archae and Johnny are alright with it, all money that's been spent will stay that way.

Although speaking of things I'm working on, I'm looking for a couple PC for a game in a homebrew setting I put together. I spent a good chunk of time working on that the last couple days.

Heads up guys, I'll be unavailable from Wednesday until Saturday. Please feel free to bot me.

Assuming we did a 4 way split for the gear, I deducted 900 from my gold to cover Telin's portion.

Gilly, if you cover my whole 450, I'll spend that 300 I have left on some additional team supporting conumables like scrolls and stuff if that works for you?

Works for me

It's been a while, should we just go with the rule of two for this one? Does anyone know if eleven's been active in other threads?

I almost posted about rule of two earlier and its a fine system to keep things moving. Feel free to ignore Gilly if he moves things off track, I will try to keep him pointed in the general direction of plot.

Gilly, did eleven make the cut on your other campaign? Has he/she been active?

Negative. She's definitely active on the forums though with a post just yesterday on a recruitment thread.

Hmmm, I wonder what's up then?

that is odd, might just being waiting for a gm post

It opens to a gleaming floor of stone reflecting the setting sun. Around the exiting android are a pair of Modrons standing guard. Each says in a droning tone: "WELCOME TO AETGANOS."

"Wow! What a go-getter. I wonder how Eleven will get to the contact without directions?"

The room is supported with corinthian pillars inside, and other smaller ships of a similar design to the one...

Here is where I got lost, where we not heading to see a contact Eleven knows and gave directions to a place she has been too? Why then dose she not know where she is going? is this some other place?

Eleven knows the contact and has been here before, as per PMs with GMs, trying to work out why GM has NPCs saying she had no idea where she is going? Or did not say Eleven recognises the location. So at a loss how to play this.

I still need to do the purchases I mentioned, I should get them done this weekend.

Eleven is familiar with the individual in question, that much is correct. However, I mentioned that this contact was already chosen by the outsiders organizing this investigation, particularly because it is someone that a party member is already familiar with. This is what I meant when I said eleven knows the contact previously. I apologize for the confusion, I think I could have phrased that better.

Furthermore, I did mention that it is strange for someone like this contact to be anywhere near mechanus, meaning that she is usually not in this location. Again, I may have been able to communicate this better. What I get for posting on no sleep I suppose.

Hope everyone has a good 4th of July holiday in America, and if we have any players who live elsewhere, a good average thursday. Will resume posts on the 5th if all goes according to plan.

I am posting this to all my games, GM and Player
For the next week I will be off on holiday.
Once back I will get things going, post actions.

GMing Players please carry on as you see fit, Im just going to have to hold combats and feed back until im pack.

As a player GM's feel free to bot my PC.

Swish Swish :)

GM Panic

Oh no! Take care of yourself. We'll be here when you're ready.

Sorry to hear. Good luck, get well soon.

Never a full moment with Gilly around. Lol

So guys, we still doing this?

Still here.

yeah

Heads up everybody, I'm without internet for a few days, thought it would be a done deal by now, but I'm still looking for an ISP. Posting will resume soon.

But for no reason in particular, can I get initiative rolls from everybody?

Eleven! Glad to see you are back with us. Hope you are feeling better.

Much better, just old trubles coming back

Giving a heads up me and my wife just had an accepted offer to buy a house. I'll try to keep up here but it may be sporadic for the next month or so while we work toward finishing the deal and then start moving, selling our current place, etc.

Quick update folks; my old cpu monitor seems to have died on me, so it'll be a bit longer for an update.
