And I reckon it's long overdue we moved on from the wezer colony.
So, are you all planning on travelling by the day?
Well, I don't like the idea of having to travel while it's hot... but if we don't have enough supplies, we may have no better alternative. What do the rest of you think?
I'm not sure we can spare the time, but equally travelling in the day while exhausted seems like a terrible idea. I think spending the time resting would probably be smarter.
This is fine, just say you need to sleep and Ick will agree.
Cale is almost out of power points but he's fine day or night
Once again, sorry for the delay in posting. I'm working on my final pieces of schoolwork--one assignment and two online exams. I'll try to post once all of that is sorted out.
No worries. School is a high priority thing!
My apologies for the delay, chalk it up to the craziness of 2020 added to my own innate crazy! I will be getting back to a normal posting rate over the course of this weekend. Stay safe, healthy, and creative y'all!
Sorry for the delay in posting. Expect an update from me in the morning!
Works been pretty rough for me too lately. So I feel ya.
Yikes.
Everyone either has too much or not enough work to do right now, heh.
Yeah, in the too much category right now. I'm spending more time at work than with my family, which I do not like.
Laurelin, you started the day with full PsPs, yes? I'm trying to calculate how much XP for PsP expenditure I owe you.
She would recover 12 PSPs per hour while sleeping so she should. I think after leveling twice she'll be in danger of not being able to recover all her PSPs in one night.
Yes. Domination is not that expensive on low-level targets, but when you're paying the maintenance cost every round, it starts to add up when you have a pool of 50 to start with!
With my current Wisdom score I gain 12 PSPs per level, so after 2 more levels I'll have a pool of 74 points. That's a little over 6 hours to refresh with sleep or rejuvenation. Of course, it will become tougher if I use psionic meditation to increase my effective Wisdom score at some point.
Also, 430 xp from spending 43 PSPs (+10%, for a total of 473 xp) is nowhere near reaching level 4. It's going to be a long, long time.
Your numbers seem a little low. But I guess you failed a whole lot of checks to manifest powers early on. It's strange to do exp so granularly, back in the day we everyone got the same amount.
I feel bad because I feel like I'm double dipping. If I kill a monster using enhanced str not only do I get the base exp but also the warrior bonus and exp for PSPs spent. It will probably hit me hard when I'm going from 3 to 4 though. I'll need 13,200 to go from 3rd to 4th psion.
So how bad would it be to split the party? Ick doesn't want to lose the trail and if she helps take our prisoner to Kled she will. She also doesn't want to take the prisoner to the his tribe's hideout.
Generally splitting the party is a recipe for someone dying.
Hey which is better, obsidian or bone?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Bone is strictly better. Weighs 50% vs 75% and hit prob is -1 rather tyan -2. Both do -1 damage.
cool
Just waiting for the party to decide what to do with the elf.
My vote is to drag him to kled
Khar doesn't really care. He thinks there is risk either way. Either the risk of the elf getting away and alerting his tribe or the risk that the longer we delay the more likely the tribe will become alerted anyway since the folks who went to poison the oasis won't be coming back.
Alrighty! Sorry for the delay.
Since no one else has voted otherwise, I'll move us along to Kled tomorrow.
I have a unit of water that I probably won't need.
So! Who's been keeping track of our loot? I would love to do some haggling to try to get some armor and some bolas.
Sounds like you volunteered, lol. There hasn't been too much in the way of loot. I know we found some money but my character isn't interested in that. I was planning on barter for buying things but most of what I need are berries and other plant parts, which I don't think is available.
We got some gear from the elves that we fought at the oasis, but... I don't really have the time right now to go back through the play thread and catalog everything.
Doesn't Cale have a merchant background? Not sure if he has any related profs. But Laurelin or Cale would be the most likely to understand the importance of scrounging, trading, and maintaining inventory, lol. Khar is starting to realize that he won't be issued weapons or armor from the armory for a bout, so he might be somewhat interested in acquiring a backup in case another sword breaksoin him.
Cale has Haggling nonweapon proficiency.
I'll bring it up ICly in more detail so that we can get some role-playing juice out of it.
Did a little thread-diving. We found:
~~~~~~~~~~
25 Urik silver pieces (which is a lot of money)
~~~~~~~~~~
• One full suit of leather
• One large-sized obsidian greatsword (used by Crow)
• One scroll
• One bone brigandine chest piece
~~~~~~~~~~
• 11 suits of desert-worn clothing, some bloodied and torn
• 11 bone short swords
• 51 ceramic pieces
~~~~~~~~~~
The desert-worn clothing is probably worthless, but the bone short swords may have some trade value. (Kled needs weapons to defend itself from outsiders.) I don't remember who took the armor pieces listed at the top.
I would love to get a bola and some studded leather armor if it seems like it's in the cards, but I'll settle for just a good pair of boots. :)
Crow's fine going barefoot. I doubt anything short of caltrops will annoy him anyway. Better armour is extremely unlikely in his size, but he's happy to loom in the background of anyone battering, seeing if he can get a discount on account of his intimidatin' manner.
If I cast Endure Heat on someone, which lasts for four and a half hours would that reduce their water needs for the day?
Sure, I'll allow it.
After next rest I'll have a barkskin for Crow. And maybe some goodberries. Not that Ick won't prefer meat.
So, what were you specifically looking to purchase?
Well we have a bunch of bone short swords to unload. Laurelin would like a bola, some studded leather armor, a pack, and some decent boots, if we can manage it.
All of which may be purchased here.
Anyone else?
Incense, I suppose mercury would be a big ask. Otherwise I'm good to go.
Anyone else? If you want a better weapon or a piece of armor or a shield, now's the time before we go elf-hunting.
Crow would love better armour. Crow is unlikely to find any in his size here.
Cale would only be improved by having his gear be of a different material so he's good
Does Khar have any purchases he'd like to make?
Uh, been super behind, not sure how much cash he would have available, but anything that drops his AC lower in our price range?
You should have enough money for any of the bone or leather pieces on offer. Just make sure to mark off your purchases.
