@ Gm - I added Linzi's items and cleared it from the treasure sheet in the Campaign Info tab.
@ Party- I also claimed the following: Headband of CHA +2 , 6 Potions CLW, 2 potions of Shield of Faith, ring of protection +1, Wand of Lead Blades. Wand of Ear Piercing Scream.

Here's the current list of unclaimed items:
Potions (all at minimum CL):
CLW x18 (assuming Faerin took 6 already).
CMW x1
Vanish x1
Lesser Restoration x1
Shield of Faith x1
Mage Armor x4
Acid x1
Alchemist Fire x2

Scrolls (minimum CL): Note: Linzi should probably take all these scrolls (or most) as she'll be able to cast any of these with UMD.
Bless x2
Divine Favor x1
Mage Armor x1
Communal Prot. from Chaos x1
Communal Prot. from Evil x1
Remove Blindness x1
Shield of Faith x1
Shocking Grasp x2

Wands:

Magic Missile, CL3 (18)

Other:

+1 Aldori dueling sword
+1 Scimitar
+1 heavy steel shields x2

+1 Full Plate
+1 Chain shirt x2

Headband INT +2

Cloak of Resistance +1 x1
Ring of Prot. +1 x2
Bracers of Armor +1 x2

EKUN, YOU SHOULD TAKE MORE. THERE'S LOTS LEFT. SAME WITH PYROS.

I agree on Linzi taking the scrolls. Jacking up UMD will just make her a better support caster, and most of the scrolls are buffs anyway.

Is Linzi really going to start making enemies of NPC's for no reason?

Can't use anymore of those items as I either have them or can't use them outside of healing potions which we should definitely split up.

If it provides awesome roleplaying and posts. I think this is a great way to get an NPC some dimension. Pyros already engaged with Valerie and can take things in any direction he wishes because I posted a thought that Linzi was jealous of Valerie's beauty. I encourage the rest of you to do the same. I think there's so much depth that can be explored about our own characters and the NPC's outside of combat. I'd be thrilled with a whole page of posts about the party night at Oleg's.

I also would encourage the PC's to ask Linzi why she's being harsh on Valerie. I may even admit in character that she's just being jealous and petty. Or I may not.I'm certain it will depend on the questions and environment. Linzi's certainly not perfect. No one is. I always try to lean into character faults.

I’m not sure I can use the Magic Missile wand. I’m a fighter, I just have VMC Magus. Does that allow me to use things on wands like I have the Magus Spell List?

I could take a heavy shield; AldorI Defender retains shield proficiency, and the class features I have that don’t allow use of a shield haven’t really come online yet. It just doesn’t feel very Aldori to be running around with a shield, even if it makes mechanical sense. I agree on splitting up the healing potions, we should all take a few. Faerin, you might take the Mage Armor potions; they’re better than your current armor bonus and will still work in wildshape.

.

Yeah, that would definitely be useful to use them in Wild shape, and until I get to the point where I can cast Ironwood and wood shape a wooden breastplate it'll be an armor improvement.

I'm all for character interaction, as long as it is;t at the expense of the AP objectives/goals. Causing unnecessary drama seems a little much but to each their own. As long as everybody is having fun.

I get it Pyros, I've had characters with less than Optimal AC because they just didn't feel like the heavy armor type. You go where the character takes you as long as it isn't damaging to the group as a whole.

so despite having some healing supplies, having a cleric is a good idea, especially if we're headed for the Stag Lord, we're walking into what I assume will be a hard fight. Do we want to take Harrim or Tristian?

Also on that note (Valerie) Martial prowess, Octavia (Arcane), Regongar (both).

Anyone have any preferences, both based on survivability and who you might want to interact with?

Again, I might have someone who'd jump in for a short time onto PBP.

The point is if we're considering long haul the character's personality should remain consistent. So if someone is jumping in the NPC character's personality doesn't suddenly do a 180 because it's what someone feels like playing for a week or two.

I have obviously rubbed someone the wrong way.
I'm just not having fun with this campaign as my role-paying dynamics are just different. This is a good time to drop Linzi (my character) out and allow you to find another 2-4 players that want to PBP.

Good luck to everyone else on this board. I sincerely feel it's best to withdraw for party chemistry.

I hate to have to ask the GM to RP multiple party NPCS. Should we do a re-recruitment, try to pick up 2-3 players?

Sounds like that may be the best course of action, maybe run with a couple NPC's while we recruit.

I will reopen recruitment. I will try to get people to play certain key characters.

While you are recruiting I will use this opportunity to drop as well. You have run a great game, I just have an extraordinary amount of less time in RL due to a new baby being born as well as several other factors.

Congratulations on the newborn. I disappeared from most things during the first year, so I totally understand. It's been fun gaming with you.

Thanks! They are certainly quite the handful. This is baby #3 so equally exhausting on all accounts.

Congrats on the baby!! Mine is 32 now, but I get to see my 9 year old grandson all the time :)

Think it would help for us to chime in with what active characters there are? Might help people choose what NPC role to play or what they want to create.

How far into our three months are we?

Not sure if you saw the question above, but are we keeping track of the 3 month timeline that Lady Jamandi set or being more fluid with that. If we are, how far along are we?

You still have 68 days left.

so, we haven't quite missed the hidden window then.

And greetings.

(Octavia voice) Here!

I've played through the whole game more than once.

Hey all.

I have played the game several times, never completed it though. Biggest thing for me there was getting stuck in the second to last act before Owlcat applied some changes there.

Welcome, everybody!

Welcome, everybody!

Thank you!

Welcome!

Three half-elves, a human, a dwarf and a half orc. The makings of a very diverse kingdom.

I am sending notes to each of the newcomers and then we will continue from Oleg's.

Btw, from the treasure list above, scratch the following:

+1 Scimitar
+1 heavy steel shields x2
+1 Full Plate
+1 Chain shirt x1 (1 is still available)
Headband INT +2
Cloak of Resistance +1 x1
Ring of Prot. +1 x2
Bracers of Armor +1 x1 (1 is still available)

I also transferred the +2CHA headband from Linzi to Regongar, as well as distributed her other items (except scrolls, wands, and potions. Those can be re-added to treasure list).

Harrim will take the divine scrolls, since I think he is the only one that can really use them.

Bless x2
Divine Favor x1
Communal Prot. from Chaos x1
Communal Prot. from Evil x1
Remove Blindness x1
Shield of Faith x1

If I may ...

The wand of MM & 2x Scroll of Shocking Grasp

These would allow Reg to save the diversity of his Magus casts.
I need to look up the duration of the Mage Armor potion.

Yeah. Octavia should probably take the arcane ones. And maybe Regongar take the wand of magic missile for a ranged option

Edit lol. Thinking alike.

I took the mage armor potions to use before going into wild shape since I'll lose my armor bonus.

Octavia taking the scrolls is smart: there are 18 charges in the wand, it will go for a while

mage armor potion is 1 hour normally (min CL)honestly, better off to use a +1 chain shirt probably.

Can Octavia carry the following?

• potion of cure light wounds x4
• potion of vanish
• scroll of mage armor

She can use many of the divine scrolls, as some are on the wizard or bard spell list, but I agree Harrim should carry them.

She only uses the potions before she wild shapes as the chainshirt won't count then.

no that makes sense, I thought Regongar was considering them, apologies.

Also, are we using crafting feats or no? I won't be taking any (since Harrim) But am curious if anyone else is.

After we establish a settlement/kingdom there should be ample downtime to allow for crafting.

The Master Armorer Advanced Armor training is high on my list (though lvl 6 at the earliest) which would allow me to make magic armor.

Need to get me a amulet of natural armor lol

Sounds all good.

Octavia has Scribe Scroll, and she's also got ranks in Craft (alchemy). She'll also be able to enchant her shortbow, since it's her bonded object.

When it comes to crafting skills Valerie also has Craft(Weapons). She'll also get full Craft(Armor) progression when she grabs Master Armorer.

How are we to do mundane gear? Can I just pick things like masterwork crafting tools or do we have limited funds?
Can I masterwork the spikes I'm placing on my shield? (I can do that while taking 10 if I have masterwork tools)

Wow, I will go back and look at crafting.
Totally did not have that on the radar at all.
Wands are TOTALLY a magus thing ...

If nothing else we can probably special order the masterwork tools from Oleg before we head out, and you'll definitely be able to afford them by the time we're done with the Stag Lord.

I may regret it, but I think I may pick up deft Manuevers with Harrim (instead of combat casting or a +1 AC feat) Since I'll be using a flail fairly often, and 1d10+5 w/out buffs isn't the scariest thing at this point. Though if I have time to buff, that goes to 1d10+10, if I drop three spells. so Disarm/trip might prove usefull.

Don't you need Dex 13 for Deft Maneuvers? With 3/4 BAB you might be better off with Weapon Focus...

I don't see that listed, unless I'm looking at the wrong thing.

OK, so I have contacte everyone and gotten a response. Be sure to get your completed character sheets on your profiles. I have class tonight, so I will begin the expedition to the Stag Lord's fort tomorrow, unless there is anything else (exploration-wise) you wish to do first.
