Time to level. To quote the famed Absalom personality, O'prah, "YOU get a level. And YOU get a level. EVERYBODY gets a level!"
Fifth level, people.

Excellent, thank you GM Derek!

Team: How do you all feel about another player to fill the caster role?
Nasir al-Rafik Kamal |
I'm good. Need some AoE badly. Some of those fights would have gone differently with some AoE or controlling spells in play. We are great with us vs 1, but we struggle with a hoard or against a bunch of ranged attacks.
Nasir al-Rafik Kamal |
Totaling up the fungible jewelry, statues and cash we found, we would end up with 6,815gp. Divided 5 ways, that will give us 1,363gp per person.
If everyone is good with that, I will remove those items from the Loot list. Everyone should take a look to see if there are any items you want. Eyes of the Eagle and the +1 cloak of resistance should be useful to someone. The talismans may be useful too. Nasir can't use them as he already has something in his neck slot, but they could come in handy for everyone else.
Ayita of the Hawk Clan |
I noticed that the loot sheet has "eyes of the eagle" sitting there right in plain sight, though without them, I guess Ayita didn't notice them... Anyone mind if she pops these lenses in?

A question: one of Ayita's traits includes some attribute increases at "Chapter 3". Have we perchance reached that?
Thanks!

Which Trait are we talkin' 'bout?
Nasir al-Rafik Kamal |
I also have a trait that has an increase at Chapter 3 - Intrigued by Thassilon.
GM Derek |
I don't see the increase at Chapter 3. Perhaps I'm missing something?
Intrigued by Thassilon
The rediscovery of Thassilon’s legacy several years ago was an eye-opener for many, including you. After living so long in the shadow of these enormous ruins, you were intrigued to find out that they were much older than anyone could have guessed and that the runelords who built them may still exist. You’ve made a promise to yourself to uncover all that you can about Thassilon, its runelords, and the mysterious history of that ancient civilization.
You gain Thassilonian as a bonus language, and at 1st level and every 2 levels thereafter, you gain a bonus skill rank that can only be applied to Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (history), Linguistics, or Use Magic Device.
Once per adventure, you may either take 20 on a Use Magic Device check or activate a charged magic item without expending any charges.

In Hero Lab, it mentions that in Chapter 3 there is either an int or con attribute increase. It is possible that the actual Book just details this in Chapter 3... I don't have the book, just Hero Lab.

Ok. I’ll keep an eye out when we get to the 3rd adventure.

Up to three talismans can be worn on one necklace, but only one can be designated as the active talisman at any time. Frantino will put on one of the necklaces with a set of the three talismans.

I also vote in favor of one more character.

Hey all, sorry for my absence. I had a vacation to Mexico and we were stuck in travel purgatory at LAX trying to get back (bumped an extra day and then our direct flight was changed to a 20-hour trip back--ouch!).
Anyway, I'm back and will get myself leveled (this is the hardest character to level--basically 6 character sheets, and the sheet I'd been using was lost and I have to start over!).
Another character sounds great--I still think it's funny that I wanted to be the arcane caster first, then two people that have now dropped wanted to play wizards and made me switch to Roscoe. Ha.
Anyway, so the final loot for me is 1,363? Thanks for doing the division, Nasir!

All of your spirits would be EXCITED if you were to take up the mantle of wizard. All of them wish your pathetic mortal self would give them power. MORE POWER. Recall that they're all remnant spirits of archmages. So... totally fine with the spirits. And if you were to lose control of yourself to one of them... they would control magic again! Mwuhahaha!

Traveling can sometimes suck. Hope you had a good time.
Ayita of the Hawk Clan |
Definitely glad you got home safely. The news was full of airline cancellations and such.

Welcome to 2022 everyone!
I did have a question about shopping now that we are done with the mod. Can we buy magic items in town? Can we see the stuff we found in town as well? I know I totaled up the fungible stuff, but I was assuming that we could sell to buyers in town, but I'm not so sure. I know that there is the weekly Circle Market in town. Can we buy/sell there? Can we make use of the Circle Market Bargain Hunting in the Return of the Runelords?
Please advise.

Roderic's Cove has a limit of 5,000gp to buy loot. And a 1,000gp limit to items for sale in the local shops. In other words, you can sell items totaling 5,000gp. After that the town's available money is exhausted. You can only buy things that are 1,000gp or less.
Magnimar is the place to sell.
Circle Market is tapped out of bargains for now.
GM Derek |
Sorry, team. Work requires I head to Vegas this week for the Consumer Electronics Show. HOWEVER, I do not plan on the usual carousing afterwards, so I'll be able to keep up the posts in the evening.
Nasir al-Rafik Kamal |
Aww man! I didn't even get a chance to shop for bargains there! Missed using that 10% off coupon.
So I guess we will hold off on distributing our funds since we can't liquidate anything in town?
Nasir al-Rafik Kamal |
The loot sheet is on Roll20. Not sure if we can sell the statues in town or not. If we can, then we can all get the 1,363. If not, then I'll just split the cash we got and we'll get the rest of the money when we liquidate items in Magnimar.
No impacts from taking items. The shares were just on money found and the sale of valuable art/historical items.
GM Derek |
Sorry team. The Tyalee’s Whim is stuck in port CES 2022. It’s navigator is busy working in the booth and is quite tired upon returning to his bunk at the Hilton Resort World Vegas.
Nasir al-Rafik Kamal |
I know how these seamen party. Is he tired before or after Sapphire?
Ayita of the Hawk Clan |
Vegas has a lot of Caydenites!

Ayita & Doc: don't forget to update your stats/details for 5th level in your profile.
Ayita of the Hawk Clan |
Done, I hope, though there are lots of details now and hopefully I got it all. But, done twice! Because Paizo still can't fix their browser bug!!! AARRRGH!!!!
Some key changes:
Ayita has 2 levels of Rogue now, so she has evasion - and some new abilities with Ter (pet performance, bardic distraction, pet sneak attack - though Ter is not that tough). Due to "boon companion", Yazhi is now much fiercer-looking as noted.
GM Derek - if Ayita having 2 animals is too complicated, I can undo the Rogue "carnivalist" archetype, perhaps, and focus on Yazhi?

Not too complicated. Proceed as you are. :)

Can anyone use the wand of fireballs that we have?
Frantino Kaddren |
Can anyone use the wand of fireballs that we have?
Roscoe, Ayita, and I can all attempt to use it via UMD, but I'm pretty sure it's not on any of our lists. Roscoe, do you get access to different spells depending on your spirit? The archmage should, but it doesn't appear to help that way.
Roscoe Elring - Hierophant |
I could take the wand of fireball. Though I cast off the mesmerist spell list when I'm in Archmage form, they are considered arcane spells.
Plus, I doubt anyone else would have a higher UMD. I'll go ahead with it. Anyone remember how many charges it had?
Nasir al-Rafik Kamal |
The wand has 7 charges left. Not a ton, but that's 7 more fireballs than we had before.
Ayita of the Hawk Clan |
GM Derek -- do you mind if I switch and take another Hunter level instead of Rogue?
She can take Evasion as a hunter focus (not that I'd remember to do that) but I saw a Lvl 2 hunter spell that looks very helpful for having 2 companion animals. It lets you switch them into a figurine for a bit. "Carry Companion"

Heroes:
Allow me to introduce our newest player, Zsolt/Dooser. I've played with him for a while now. He'll be playing Ezranadir, the elven mage.
Zsolt, welcome!
Ayita of the Hawk Clan |
Welcome! We're very glad to have you!!!
<Passing a virtual blackberry muffin to Zsolt>
Frantino Kaddren |
Welcome! (I really need to check this tab more often...)
Also, I know PFS 1e isn't as active but did you want to issue chronicles for book 1 and get the GM credit? Never mind, it doesn't look like it ever got sanctioned for PFS. I'll have to find an RVC to ask about it...
