O_o
Both!
Right - number crunching time!
Plunder: We have 7 plunder after the required bribes, so Polli can sell that for 1300gp each, assuming that she takes 10 to intimidate and Dony aids. That'll take 7 days.
Infamy: Last time in Peril we hit Threshold 1, which lets us reset the totals. I also suggest we make Port Peril our favoured port, giving +2 on Infamy checks from now on.
So, Harmony needs to make DC 29 checks for the Siren.
Her mod is 15+2 for favored port + 1 for trait, so taking 10 with aid from Tessa (or anyone else) will do the job. 5 days
She also needs to start building the Sea Witches rep, which she can definitely do by taking 10. 5 more days.
Recruitment: Crew capacity for each ship seems to be about 50 (assuming that the Sea Witch is similarly sized to the Siren). Still need to know how many crew we got capturing the Sea Witch, but I estimate we want to recruit 40 odd sailors.
Cohort will stay at 12, +2 for being a Free Captain balancing out the -2 for my familiar. [Does that apply if they're on different ships.]
Followers will be 14, because we have a base of operations.
@GM: Do any of the other modifiers apply for Harmony?
Based on Harmony's leadership score she'll bring in 15 1st levels, 1 2nd level and her cohort. So our recruiting needs drop to an even two dozen.
---------------
Finally Loot.
Selling the plunder as outlined above we end up with shares of 12,699.75gp each. Anything you want from the loot list you just deduct from your share. Marisan has claimed the trident, but anything else on there apart from the Sigli's Eye is available without needing to borrow.
TL;DR - we need to stay in port for seven days minimum, ideally 10.
We have the time to get to the port plus ten days if anyone needs any crafting work. Polli would be happy to.
Marisan would like to upgrade her amulet of mighty fists from +1 to +2. That's 6K for crafting, which I think is normally six days.
Yes Mam!
5k to add returning to my harpoon please. :) Harmony cam cast the spell for you as needed.
Yes, that will help. How many days to get to port peril?
Polli would like to find this in port peril, plus a metamagic rod of toppling. She'll make those rolls tonight as well.

Are we allowed to take the agile weapon enchantment?
If so, I'd love to get that on both of my shortswords and upgrade my belt to a +4 (which I believe would be a total of 12k and 12 days, unless Polli can make the DCs for accelerated crafting on some of them).
If not, I'd like to get a +2 wisdom headband, upgrade my dex belt to +4, and add the distance enchantment to my bow (for a mere 11k).
If that's too much to put on Polli's plate, I'll prioritize what I'd like to ask her for (and maybe look to pick up something cheap in port).
Once we find out what everyone wants, we'll just create a schedule. Everyone gets one thing made, before moving to the second, and so on. Can roll randomly to determine order if there isn't a efficient path screaming out loud. Most of Polli's stuff will be bought this time around. Rings and Rods... that sounds strangely... um... nevermind.
Tessa will assist Harmony in recruitment. Go team Siren!
In port, she will pick up a mithral chainshirt and turn it over to Polli to +2. Additionally, she'll pick up a Swordmaster's flair (blue scarf) as well.
Thank you Polli.
she lives to serve.
rods and rings... lives to serve... have fun Dony!
Dony gets all the fun.
"POLLI! Violet has a need for rods and rings. Please double your order for the Captian' for, uhm, Captain reasons."
A fun conversation involving rods and wands, between a worldly bard and a clueless academic.
Harmony: Yes, the penalty for a familiar will apply even being on a different ship. The only additional Leadership modifier you'll get will be the -1 on the followers for moving around a lot.
Polli: No need to make the rolls, you can find both of those items.
Valeria: No problem with the Agile enchantment.
If I missed any questions, feel free to ask them again.
We're pirates! How the hell can I take a penalty for moving around a lot? Pirates should get a penalty for staying in the same place too long!
Lol.
Cohorts don't take the penalty because they usually move with you, but followers usually stay at your stronghold or some other relatively safe location (in this case probably the Rock), so there's a penalty because you're not with them all that much. If you were all on the same ship you could make a pretty good argument for not taking that penalty because you wouldn't be moving around relative to them, but I suspect it would have to be a pretty remarkable ship to still qualify for the stronghold bonus?
Yes, but you're attempting to lead them from a distance and from one day to the next they have no idea where you are. An absent leader is less effective.
Revised Spending Spree...
Wishlist for Polli:
- add agile to 2 shortswords (6,000g/6 days total)
- +2 Wis circlet/bandana/whatever (2,000g/2 days)
Actual Shopping:
- +1 mithril kikko [5,250g] (and I'll throw in a little extra to get it fitted very precisely to my form)
- some kind of religious book(s) [???g]
- a few more bundles of arrows [5g]
- four vials of holy water [100g]
Selling:
- +1 studded leather [+587.5]
Okay please correct me if I'm wrong.
The swordmaster's flair(blue scarf) lists blind fight, improved trip, lunge, and nimble moves as requirements to craft. Plus the spell good hope, which is a 3 lvl three bard spell Harmony doesn't have. So 5 requirements Polli doesn't have and a casting level of 5, means she'd need a 35 spellcraft roll to craft it right? Which means a natural 20.
For a magic item that sells for 2500, this seems odd.
OKAY
on the way to the port, 4 days she can finish Harmony's harpoon, and start on her glasses. One day of the 10 on land, she gets done with her glasses, leaving 9 days left.
Divide by three and we have
Marisan - Amulet of Might Fists upgrade to +4 takes 3 days
Tessa - Chainshirt enchantment from +0 to +2 takes 2 days
Val - Kikko enchantment to +1 takes 1 day, and +2 wisdom thing takes 2 days (3 total)
Have 1 day left on the schedule if Dony wants anything, otherwise she'll move on to agile shortswords
:)
That's a lot of requirements for such a low level item. However, you're trying to create an item with only one of the many requirements.
How about we make it a 30 Spellcraft roll?
Oh! I see. The blue scarf is only doing lunge, so the other requirements are not needed. Correct? Plus good hope.

What Dony wants she will get by other means. Seriously I have no idea and at work right now. Won't be able to look until tonite, go ahead and make the swords I will create a list for next ti e we are all together with some down time.
I’m just buying the armor pre-enchanted because the day of your crafting availability is worth more than the 500g price difference. If you could do the first 2 days of the 3 needed for my sword with the armor day and the free day, I could wait until a day out at sea before it’s done (also, iirc the items with low CL you can craft in half the time of you up the DC by 5?).
Oh! I see. The blue scarf is only doing lunge, so the other requirements are not needed. Correct? Plus good hope.
Ah. That makes total sense. Good on ya.
Yeah, I think I have all that in place. Instead of 1000 a day, she can do 2000 a day by taking 10. So Marisan's 6000gp amulet upgrade takes 3 days. Just can't do two items in a day so the armor takes 1 day even at the double-time.
Or at least that is my understanding.
Maybe I’m confused? My headband costs 2k to craft, so at double time it should be 1 day, right? And then the swords cost 3k each to upgrade, so 2 days each at double time?
It's the purchasing cost, not the crafting cost, I think...
"Creating an item requires 8 hours of work per 1,000 gp in the item’s base price (or fraction thereof), with a minimum of at least 8 hours"
Yep. The time spent is based on the base price (not the crafting price).
Ok, that clears it up, thank you. So, my original cost & time assessments were right but only because you’ll be do accelerated crafting.
Yeesh you guys were chatty today.
Polli, I bought the flair straight up, I didn't intend for you to craft it. Sorry if that was confusing!
I know we don't always read everyone else's posts carefully when we're all split up so I wanted to point out to Donomsail (and Polli) that I left something in your quarters in my last post.
Also, Polli, I bought my armor with the +1 on it already, so don't count that as one of your days (you have better things to spend a crafting day on).
I noticed it sir. And noting the schedule change. Dony can place something in that 2 days or she can start to work on one of the swords, then the now manageable blue sash, then the last sword.
Regarding crews.
Harmony provides 12 people via leadership. I'd say we then put in thirty or so of our trusted Sirens on the Sea Witch and then crew the Siren mostly with our new recruits where we can keep an eye on them.
Basically at this point I suggest we stop tracking most of the crew names! ;) Unless our GM is feeling very inspired!
I will be on vacation from 6/13-6/21. During this time, my posting will be limited. Some days I will probably not be able to post at all. I'll catch up on everything again when I return.
GM, please bot me as necessary.
One last purchase, if that is okay. I'd like to have her arcane focus ring to be enchanted into a ring of resistance +1. Polli's saves are poop.
I also do not need to hold up anything because of Polli's desire to have a decent date. We can simply say whatever Harmony, Tessa, Val, and/or Marisan suggested went perfectly. And Polli will say thank you with a nice bottle of rum for each of you.
No way. Take as much time as you need. Marisan is going on vacation anyway, we won't mind stopping so you can get your RP in! Take it from one who is always holding up advancing the story so they can get some fun in! :D
Hmm... then does Tessa have any advice for the inquisitive and slightly lost sylph?
Marisan's advice is to stop overthinking so much. Take a lesson from the Int 8 brawler and just keep it simple. :)
Marisan does always have the best plans :)
Work will be busy today, so since the advice was reasonable and Mutt hasn't had the time to expand or express, I'll write up something simple tonight.
Just a note, I believe two days travel along with the days in port allow Polli to finish all items requested for her to make Except for one of the agile short swords and Tessa's sash.
I think Tessa just bought the sash already enchanted? Also, I didn't do the math but if you do both swords before the Wis item would they both be done? That would just be a lot easier for me bookkeeping wise (so I don't need to have 2 different damage formulae when I dual wield).
Yes. She had a day left on the sword. Took 2 days on the headband, so both swords would get done in the time allowed, if she postponed the headband.
Cool. So both swords are noted in my profile and I’ve got 1 day left on the headband, right?
2 days on the headband, I believe.
Are you including the two days it takes to get to Quent?
