If people would like, I can assume that everything not specifically claimed is turned over to the scientists. I can leave some time for people to change their minds about specific equipment. The 2000 credits split 5 ways would be 400 each, right?
I think we should keep the medpatches, give a crystal hookah to Ordyt, give the Mark 1 Agility Enhancer Armor Upgrade to one of the people using the heavy armor, and see who wants some of the other useful equipment--holoskin, frag grenades, spell of remove condition, etc...
...and given the last mission, Flint is planning to buy at least one healing serum...
Sammad will claim the holoskin pendant.

Cellion, would it be possible to add the loot list to the links up at the top?

Loot log has been converted to a google sheet and linked up top. Everyone who uses the link should have edit access.
Thanks for the reminder Marisol. I'd been intending to do that earlier.

I'm stuck between a couple of ideas for my second level improvisation. Some that look useful include Brace Yourselves, Get 'Em, and Watch your Step.
Also a new one from Operations Manual:
** spoiler omitted **Does anyone have favorites or other suggestions?
I've decided that Sammad will take Get 'Em as his 2nd level improvisation. No more 'turn after turn' of misses for us anymore!

Okay, tactics time...jolting surge seems like the most efficient use of my turn, since Nikkost CLEARLY has tech equipment on him, and it WOULD be suitably dramatic, but I'm worried it it might accidentally KILL him, which none of us, least of all Belmarniss, wants...but I don't really have a way of making a non-lethal junksword within a single round either...should I just try to punch him or something? what do you folks think?
You can do nonlethal damage with your junksword, it just takes a -4 to hit since it's not made for that purpose.

In case anyone's missed it, this bit of short fiction from the Paizo blog has to do with Asanatown and the Burning Archipelago, and it's just wonderful.

You've got to be kidding! I give up my free healing serum to do a good deed and it only heals one measley hit point?! Are we playing Starfinder here or Pathologic?!

May I do some shopping? I'd like to pick up them Lightvision Shades ASAP, and was interested in roleplaying an encounter with Berdac Zeizerer to more deeply explore the differences between Belmarniss and other drow...
Yep, feel free to take this opportunity to go shopping.
Also Bel, tell me more about Berdac Zeizerer and what kind of interaction you were thinking of. The name doesn't ring any bells for me, but I might've forgotten or missed something.
If Bel is okay with it, Mari might tag along.

He's described in the section on the Zeizerer Outpost in the "Merchants of the Brass Bazaar" article in Soldiers of Brass the next book in the AP, specifically pages 44 and 45. That's where the shades I wanna buy are located too.
As the Burning Archipelago grew over the past century, House Zeizerer begrudgingly recognized the merits of establishing business there. Although the house moved quickly to buy a space in the Brass Bazaar, finding someone to staff the store took more time. Eventually, Zeizerer leadership decided to send the lowly Berdac to the Burning Archipelago to serve as the proprietor of the store, as the lazy drow showed no potential for combat and lacked the drive needed to become a more prominent arms dealer in more desirable locations.
When he is not tending to the Zeizerer Outpost, Berdac can most often be found in the pleasure domes of Verdeon, gambling at the casinos and relaxing at the spas, often while high on transdimensional pesh. He plays fast and loose with his family's money, and is well known throughout the pleasure domes for both his irresponsibility and his membership in House Zeizerer. As a result, many of the minor crime families who run the domes lavish Berdac with special treatment and gifts when he comes to visit, hoping to gain favor with such a prestigious arms-dealing family. Berdac, for the most part, is oblivious to the machinations of the crime families of Verdeon, instead simply enjoying the luxuries through a pesh haze. However, his interactions in the pleasure domes have not gone unnoticed by the government of the Burning Archipelago, and officials are often monitoring those dealings in the hope of possibly turning Berdac against his criminal allies.
The Zeizerer Outpost retains the ominous stylings of the drow architecture. The store's sleek shelves are stocked with all sorts of weaponry, as expected for a store belonging to some of the most notorious arms dealers in the system. However, Berdac doesn't typically put much effort into maintaining appearances, so the weapons are often disorganized and not grouped in any discernable pattern. When notified about a visit from a representative of House Zeizerer, Berdac grudgingly puts in the time to ensure things are presentable, but only at the last minute.
House Zeizerer has developed several augmentations, one of which helps to overcome light sensitivity. Berdac Zeizerer always has his lightvision shaeds active, for both practical and fashion purposes. Some other drow houses frown on House Zeizerer selling these augmentations to non-drow, but so far their complaints have had no effect.
Just sort of looking to interact with him, get his unique takes on drow life, inquire with him what his life on the sun is like as Belmarniss is a newcomer there, and display how the two of them both kind of chose to become outcasts from drow society, but went down VERY different paths.
Probably best that Mari not go then lol, I don't think that's a conversation that's going to be possible with a non-Drow hanging around and listening.
Bel, I think a trip to the Corona bubble where the Brass Bazaar lies is probably too meaty of a side trek for now. I don't want to shortchange your interaction with Zeizerer or your exploration of the Brass Bazaar by limiting it to a little vignette. Especially since we'll have plenty of time to bounce around the Bazaar in book 2.
From the in character perspective, you only have a handful of hours to burn in Dawnshore before Sammad and Flint are done and the group would be ready to continue, so most likely there's not enough time to make the trip. You could still buy your sick shades though :>
Let me know if there's something else Bel is interested in doing in the interim.
Is there a place in Dawnshore I can get a level 2 augmentation?

I honestly think you're right, I anticipated referencing material FROM book 2 before the campaign actually GOES there would be getting ahead of ourselves.
Where would I get the shades at Dawnshore? According to the book, Zeizerer's is where to get them. They're an augmentation, so they need to get plugged into my head.
Is there a place in Dawnshore I can get a level 2 augmentation?
Absolutely. Dawnshore is a large metropolis and you can easily purchase items of up to item level 8 without any difficulty (assuming they come from the CRB/Armory. Items like the lightvision shades - ie. items common in the Burning Archipelago but not in either the CRB or Armor - are also available).
Where would I get the shades at Dawnshore?
A good question :>
While it doesn't have the depth, variety and general oddities of the Brass Bazaar, Dawnshore has plenty of stores carrying all sorts of merchandise. Even so, Lightvision shades are rare, though an infosphere search reveals a small cybernetics outfit named "Doubleguts" that offers sale and installation. Seems to be run by an elderly Ysoki.

Just giving a heads up that I'll be flying next Sunday, the 8th of December. I'll have wifi at my destination, so I should be able to pop back in on Monday.
LG/CG TEAM-UP! (ง •̀_•́)ง
Now we just need Flint to join in and we'll complete the set! :P
Flint is already moving through the crowd trying to turn them against the bullies...It seems his companions have decided to take a more...direct approach.
"No laws in Asanatown. Just cops."

Alright, important announcement:
With the Christmas/New Years holidays coming up, and because I'll be traveling quite a lot over the next week and a bit, we'll be entering into a slower update schedule. I hope to still get some posting in, but it might not be more than one post per two days. I will be phone-posting only from the 24th through the 1st, so there won't be a lot of map action either. Expect things to spin back up to full speed on the 2nd of Jan.
And while I have your attention, hope you guys all have a great Christmas and Happy New Year!
Excellent. Enjoying the holidays and looking forward to getting back into the game in a few days.
What's our plan?
Speaking for Flint, he is hoping you guys get in position and we jump them as soon as they open the gate to let Mari out and get the credstick. Hopefully a surprise attack with something that doesn’t make too much noise (even better if nonlethal) and we roll well enough to subdue them quickly before they can raise an alarm.
Even if we make some noise, we can rush in through the open gate and door into the building and hope for the best...
To be fair, though, Flint is kind of flying by the seat of his pants here. If someone has a better idea, speak up. Flint just sort of defaults to taking the lead, but that doesn’t mean he won’t fall back if there is a better plan.
This was a pretty brazen attempt on our part, I think we're lucky we didn't trigger a general alarm right off the bat.
Ordyt's moved up as far as he dares with the gate not being open yet, and he doesn't have a lot of nonlethal options but he'll try. Plus the sounds of any sort of gunfire (ours or theirs) will draw a lot of attention from inside. I say we just bite the proverbial bullet and take out the station.

Yeah, that’s plan C, but at least the gate and the back door should be open as they come after the credstick. (Plan A was sneaking in, plan B is taking them out quietly—unlikely)...

Hey all, I've encountered some unexpected difficulties with my apartment wifi. I'll keep up with posting on my phone, but I'd appreciate it if someone could help out with token movement if it comes to that.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Can do, Sammad!
Not sure why you can't see your token. Right now you're to the east of the chain link fence surrounding the police parking lot. If you want to get in and tango in melee, you'll need to get over the fence (DC10 Athletics).
My laptop can connect again! I'll try and be more regular about checking the thread now.

I love skittermanders almost as much as I love tieflings. Which, as Ordyt can tell you, says a lot.

I get to play a skittermander for the first time this Friday...I’ll know more about them soon. Hopefully Flint survives that long...
