The only actual changes, as shown, are that those not getting the larger magic items are getting more cash. Note that the Medusa's Mask is not accounted for in any of this. This should be final allocation for the matriarch's hoard.
I neglected to include Quinn's formula book, which might be of interest to our investigator. It included
==Level 1 Elixirs==
Adhesive Spittle
Ant Haul
Comprehend Languages
Crafter’s Fortune
Cure Light Wounds
Endure Elements
Expeditious Retreat
Longshot
Monkey Fish
Reduce Person
True Strike
==Level 2 Elixirs==
Bull’s Strength
Cure Moderate Wounds
Shadow Bomb Admixture
@Tarphrex: I forgot the formula book too! Yes please, I would very much like that. I'm not sure if I can prepare extracts directly from Quinn's book, or if I have to copy them into my book (which costs money) first. GM, your thoughts? Also, can I give up the potion of cure moderate wounds in exchange for some cash? I bought two of those at character creation and right now I need the cash more.
Okay, I finally remembered to do my leveling up math! I'd appreciate it if someone would check my work.

I was serious about Tarphrex spotting you coin. If you want to exchange a healing potion for it, that’s fine. Give yourself 300 gp, but if that’s not enough, we’ll work it out.
Regarding formulae from another’s book, AoN says:
Source Ultimate Campaign pg. 84
If you're a magus or wizard, you can spend 1 day of downtime to copy up to eight spells from other sources into your spellbook (see Spells Copied from Another's Spellbook or a Scroll). If you're an alchemist, you can use this option to add new formulae to your formula book. If you're a witch, you can use this option to add spells to your familiar. You may spend Magic toward the cost of copying spells.
EDIT: I just realized I did not answer the actual question. I believe you would have to make some sort of check to understand Quinn’s notation, as with reading a scroll or another’s spellbook for a wizard. Definitely a question for the GM, of course.

Everyone make sure you've purchased what you want to purchase. Sandpoint won't have the selection of Magnimar, so get it while you can.
I'll do some looking tonight then
Tarphrex has purchased a fancy buckler like Alain had, but sized for his small frame. The remainder of his cash is available for Elisani or Estella to kit out for travel.
Estella will get herself a horse and feed for her new steed as well, but aside from that I think she's good. She can pay that out of her own pocket.
Decided for now to just pick up a headband of charisma. Nice class boost for a man intent on chucking divine fireballs

Prefacing with context, I grew up in New England. I like to cook and recently i wanted pancakes but lacked flour. However i had cornmeal... So i played around and made pancakes from cornmeal...and they were absolutely delicious
That is crazy!
A - that I also grew up in New England
B - that I also cook
C - that while I revile corn tortillas, I can totally see that cornmeal pancakes would be delish

Johnnycakes! I keep meaning to try those and keep forgetting. I bet it would be like cornbread, but in pancake form.
I revile corn tortillas
As someone who was raised in southern California, I must defend the honor of the corn tortilla! While flour tortillas are excellent for burritos and American style soft tacos, street tacos absolutely require corn tortillas. A proper street taco consists of corn tortillas, a meat or vegetable filling (champiñones con epazote makes an amazing taco), chopped onions, and cilantro. Nothing more and nothing less.
If ever we meet, I will pass on the devil’s lettuce, but the rest sounds great! ;-)

Def laughing at the devil's lettuce!
Having spent almost half my life in Los Angeles (and all of COVID in Mexico City) I understand the corn tortilla (AND I have made them myself, from scratch, with the sacred piece of tortilla press paper) ... but i'm going to stand my ground that I don't want anything to interfere with my al pastor flavors. I do miss Mexico.
Hailing from the dark lands of the north, cornmeal is mostly a curio here.
Rye it shall be! (Maybe not for tortillas. Nor pancakes, for that matter :D )

Not sure where I mentioned weed… must have missed something there. Or was it just the California part?
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who spent that much time in Mexico and the US Southwest who disliked corn tortillas. I detest avocados though, so I don’t really have room to talk. :P
I think by this particular devil's lettuce, he in fact meant the cilantro, haha!
In the Low Lands Below the Sea, we're also rye types!
Yes, cilantro is the one food/spice I have discovered that I cannot stand. I have happily adopted the “devil’s lettuce” moniker for it.
I respect that many people find it wonderful in the right culinary context.

I feel like cilantro is overused, but that it will die out as a fad. Like when there was Siracha flavored EVERYTHING for awhile. Here in the midwest we have a ton of hispanic/latin american resturants. We recently got a new one near-by called Hacienda Agave, and they have this seafood taco platter with all the different types of seafood all cooked together. Crab, shrimp, mussels, octopus.
It was delicious.

Yeah, cilantro is a polarizing flavor. I count myself lucky that I didn't get the cilantro soap taste gene. I'm quite fond of it but totally understand people who hate it.
@Sherman and Estella: How interesting, here it's rye that is a novelty and corn that's a staple! Although there might be more rye grown and eaten in the Upper Midwest, where the climate is much colder. Lots of people from the Nordic countries and northern Europe settled in that area, especially Minnesota and Michigan, so they probably brought the love of rye bread with them. I like rye bread but it's hard to find here in Colorado. Rye flour? Forget about it, if you want to make your own rye bread you have to order the flour online.
This has been an interesting conversation. I’m very interested in that seafood platter, GM Sphen!
And oddly enough, cilantro doesn’t smell or taste like soap for me. I have a mid-range tolerance for hot peppers in my food, but cilantro lights me up to a painful level. I don’t understand it, but I can’t deny it.
Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana are known as the Cornbelt. Three states in a row that grow more corn (and soybeans) than anywhere else in the country. We even put it in our gasoline.
I'm a bit of a bread connoisseur. I like my sammiches.
Miami onion rolls, Black pepper focaccia and sourdough are the best
Cilantro is evil and tastes of soap

This is really good positioning; I am also quite fond of it, but with that said, I could hardly argue that it isn't overused. LOL a lot like avocados here in SoCal. To be honest though, I think parsley is overused in a lot of cooking also.
I do kind of want to pick up some rye now though, and I can't recall the last time that was true.
and Archae has the soap gene, that is too bad :(

Dude, that sounds like a food allergy. You might want to get tested. If a non-spicy food makes your mouth burn, you’re probably allergic and should stay far away from that food, because repeated exposure can make food allergies worse. Cilantro is usually obvious in appearance, but coriander seed comes from the same plant and could also be a problem for you.

I 100% echo everything said here ... as a restaurant manager ergo 'the guy who has to decide to use the epi-pen in emergencies' and I would only add that I hope you do choose the get tested. That kind of a histimine reaction to anything is no joke. I'm also an asthmatic which has a host of management issues we all have to be aware of.
The most serious part of menu trainings that we put together are around food allergies.
(I'm glad you like spicy food tho)

Heh, foodie talk highjacked the thread.
Also, I’m in the cilantro fan club these days. Didn’t like it in the beginning, but now can’t live without.

Interesting, I've never considered that. I have no known allergies, so it never occurred to me.
My daughter has an allergy to eggs that only causes hives on her skin. No choking or death, just itch. So it sounds possible.
Just to posit another possibility. Maybe you choked to death on it in a previous life and it is more of a physical representation of the sub-concious/former concious aversion to the food.
I think scientist would struggle to determine which is correct.

Well I will be honest, and this is with all my love for SoCal, but I had no allergies when I lived somewhere cooler ... and I was younger ;)
Out here, I have fairly normal respiratory allergies and was diagnosed with asthma :(
Allergies are definitely something that change for many people as they age.
@GM Sphen, a question about my trap rune ability and the explosive runes ability. I've seen the very cheesy tactic of applying the runes to something portable so they can be flung amidst enemies like grenades. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that use of them, but I'm curious how creative you'd allow with their use - do I have to use a stationary location or something that would have to be opened to trigger the runes? Thinking of the obvious opening of a book, but opening a closet or chest seems viable, as well.
Just wanted to ask before it mattered and tensions were high.

Yeah, I used to be lactose intolerant as a child, and my mother somehow grew out of an allergy for shrimp. At the same time, I think I've developed a stronger propensity for hayfever. Can't win!

Much the same, but I developed an allergy to dogs. That one really came out of nowhere.
My best friend developed a life-threatening allergy to peanuts and fenugreek (which is apparently related to peanuts, who knew) during her second pregnancy. Did it go away after she had the baby? Nope! She's now part of the "carry epi-pens everywhere I go" club. Here in the US, peanuts are everywhere.
And my mom's allergy to clams expanded to all bivalves. She's okay with crustaceans and cephalopods, oddly enough, but anything that lives in two shells is bad news for her. Which is sad, because she loves clams and scallops.
I just need to note that "hovering human" wins roleplay for the day, maybe the week ... just the way it reads, sooooooo good

I love a good turn of phrase. Occasionally, I deliver it, mostly I celebrate someone else’s. Thanks for the shout out.
Monday through Wednesday of next week. I will not be on then. FYI

I hope your absence is for something fun like an extended weekend trip! (If it’s not, don’t spoil it for me!)
In the initiative, poor Tarphrex is absolutely frozen in place at the sight of so many of these dogs!
Also, Shalelu was a target of the haste spell, just to confirm she has that bonus to attack and armor class.
I should point out - not that it matters this time - Tarphrex took Improved Initiative so his bonus is now +6 rather than +2.
@Tarphrex: All good things. My wife's birthday is on Monday, and our wedding anniversary (14 years) is on Wednesday. So I just took all three days off of work and will be focused on that stuff.
Also, I will take note of the Haste as I did, for sure, forget that immediately.
Congratulations GM! That is awesome!
To confirm, the ogre is LARGE, correct?
Congratulations to you and your wife, GM! Have a great time together. :)

Wonderful! Congratulations to the two of you and I hope she has a fantastic day!
(We do the same thing - vacation days for birthdays, a week of vacation for the anniversary each year.)
Congratulations to @GM and wife, have fun! :)
Congratulations, that's wonderful news! Definitely enjoy your time together, don't you dare come back here before Thursday :)
Thank you everyone for the well wishes. She truly is the better part of me.

Ogre Hunter is Medium
At the rate this fight is going, I may conserve spell slots…
