When agents of the newest Pathfinder Society lodge in Magnimar learn of a fragmented artifact scattered throughout the lands of old Thassilon, it falls to a new band of heroes to step in and gather up the seven fragments of this Shattered Star.

I think I kept the climbing gear. The boots and masterwork thieves tools is not yet set, I think. The star piece is with.... Olander? I think.

Olander has the artifact (and the ioun stone, which allows him to use it, presumably without becoming all homicidal).
What other loot do we have? Did we get any gold?
I agree we should all have a way to climb, and I'd like a crossbow before proceeding. After that, if we have excess wealth (which I don't think we do), cold iron masterwork weapons seem like a good investment.

Good idea. I'll get myself a cold iron mwk warhammer.
I don't know my way around the loot list, though. I don't have enough money for it... Can someone help me?
2 scrolls of shield
wand of mage armor
shard of pride
ring of feather fall
100 gp, 86 sp, 192 cp, a brass comb worth 2 gp, assorted buttons made from semiprecious stones worth 30 gp total, a smokestick, a mithral shortsword, and a set of masterwork thieves tools
The mithral shortsword would be worth 505gp if you sold it.
You can sell the shortsword, ring, and/or boots to fund buying other gear, or you can suit up as is and procede.

Hmmm, the masterwork cold iron warhammer is 324 gp. @party: how many such items will we require? We may not have enough for everyone. Olander might want such a weapon, but Mikki and Sandu, what do you say?
Ratfolk Alchemist 3. AC 18 FF 15 T 14 // Fort +4 Ref +6 Will +2 Initiative +3, Perception +9 (Darkvision 60')
I have no real desire for new weaponry or the like.
Most of my gold and time will go into magic potions and alchemical reagents.
I can craft up CLW potions for 25gp a pop, and alch fire for 6.33gp each, although those might take a bit longer.

Olander could definitely use the masterwork cold iron rapier.

So, I haven't done the math. Can we buy two mwk cold iron weapons with our money?
cold iron doubles the price of the weapon. Masterwork adds 300gp.
Right now you would need to sell something.

Sandu does not need any of the gear or to purchase any gear. I support selling the two high value items.
I would also support crafting but I don't know how much time we have.
You are on your own clock as far as crafting. The Pathfinder society has been looking for ancient Thassilonian artifacts for a long time, they don't expect a few days to change things.

All right, I'm going to do all the calculations. We need to sell some of those magic items in order to get both masterwork weapons. The wand of mage armor is probably the most valuable. Does anyone want it? (looking at you Sandu) If not, we'll sell it and get the extra money going.
(Remember that the wand's value is reduced to 11/50 because the charges are depleted)

I don't stand much of a chance of activating the wand. I'd love the AC. But with no UMD...

The wand is only 82.5 gp with the partial charge and selling for half.
I’d vote for selling the mithral shortsword and that’d be enough for the two Mw cold iron weapons. Or we could delay the weapons and get the wand of cure light wounds first.
M LG Dwarf Fighter (Eldritch guardian/Foehammer) 3 | HP: 34/34 | AC: 20, T: 12, FF: 18 | CMB: +5, CMD: 17 | F: +5, R: +3, W: +2 (+2 vs poison, spells and spell-like abilities) (+1 vs fear/mind-affecting) | Init: +2 | Darkvision, Perc: +9, SM: +1 | Speed 20ft | Active conditions: none
Ok, both options are excellent. I agree with both.
I'm not sure there were two options there.
(1) buy MWK weapons to increase Nocki and Olander's offense
(2) buy a CLW wand to free up Sandu to cast other spells.
noting: Mikkitar can/has made a couple of CLW potions to supplement healing.
Thoughts/votes?

Well, as I said, I agree with both options. If there is no tip either way, I'd get the weapons, so...

I vote 1. Sandu is happy being a healer.

Ok, Let's say Mikki agrees with Sandu. We go for wand, then. I suppose we're ready to go?

Sandu voted weapons I think, so we’ll go with that.

Go ahead on the weapons.
I'm sure we'll find some healing items along the way. And I can crank out some potions to keep us going in the meantime.
Sorry for the absence...lack of sleep due to kiddos.

Already added the weapon to my character sheet.
What? No, I'm not eager to get weapons, no...

Team, I'm thinking of dipping a level of inquisitor for Nocki somewhere near levels 4~8. Opinions?

I don't know much about inquisitors, I have never been big on dipping, but it all comes down to what you are hoping to gain.
Sandu is the first fully "Support" Character I have played, I am still trying to figure him out.
