@Ohrmizd, do you think it would be worth taking Davashuum alive to interrogate? You could start doing non-lethal...

Hazreem could cast Frostbite on him, it does nonlethal damage (though SR does apply).

Eh, Ohrmizd has the blade of mercy trait, so he can just switch to non-lethal if he's using a scimitar.

We might get some info on what is going on. But he is going to be mean and not easy to question I fear.

And we risk him just disappearing in thin air again.

Do we know where Jhavul is already?

I'm assuming we're going to end up with him unconscious, and then we can wake him up after taking precautions...

But no, we don't know where Jhavul is. Nor have we found the princess, Garavel and the other prisoners... Not to mention we're currently operating on the hope that his corpse opens the doors to this place.

...

Mapdots added. Shall we redo the combat with you all but Ohrmizd stuck in the 'elevator'?

I wouldn't actually mind; part of an encounters challenge is dealing with the terrain...

I mean, with things laid out as you have, Khedron couldn't have wailed on 'that guy', but could hit Davashuum (and is going to this round...).

But I suspect you'd rather just get on with this. Also, as you didn't roll a miss chance for Hazreem, I assume that Davashuum is visible again, having started attacking (ie he doesn't have improved invisibility).

With the saves passed, I don't think the combat state will be very much affected. People would need to squeeze and lose movement, but at the end of the day things will be more or less same.

Map and some efreeti are up! :)

Quick question: Would either a Stone Shape spell (from a wand) or a Vial of Soften Earth and Stone affect the stone golems?

Quick question: Would either a Stone Shape spell (from a wand) or a Vial of Soften Earth and Stone affect the stone golems?

Only one way to find out.

There is nothing to be seen on the whole floor that contains or could contain gear that was taken from the prisoners. Looks like they didn't want to make it too easy for a prison break.

Just to clarify, does that mean we opened the remaining doors here and found nothing of interest?

If so, I think we have covered all the rooms of the tower by now and it is time to move on and talk with our allies about setting full control of Kelmarene.

You only have the main door that you 'knocked' open and then the four prison cell doors. There are no more rooms.

And in other news, is the loot sheet up to date? What is the split looking like Ohrmizd? We're about to go to war, so let's gear up.

I have not been taking close attention at every small coin since we got out of the Palace of fire. Only the big items. Is probably much doing a difference, and to be honest I did not expect us going shopping at this point of the adventure.

We have about 180000 gp to split.

In fact I see I made some boughts last time that I have never added to my profile sheet:
Cloak of resistance +4 15000
boots of speed 12000
amulet of natural armor +3 16000
disliquicent gloves 8000

Also, Heshan has apparently spent 0 gold in 6 books, so he has all his money to spend.

Ok, I have been updating the loot sheet. I have added 14 Jann captains at the bottom, and values for almost everything else.

@Foxy, can you provide values for a) the foul smelling incense
and b) the chess set?
I have claimed the +4 str belt for Omari (Khedron), and the amulet of NA +1 for Omari.

Chess set: 1050gp
Incense: No value given

True. I can check to get a headband to increase Heshan's charisma.

We should talk a bit about team buffing

@Hazreem,
1) Tears to Wine is druid 1
2) Can you do bulk barkskin? Everybody wants it...
I would suggest getting a rod of lesser extend (3000 gp), or even two. Also, Wild armor is a good thing if you're going to be elemental shaping all the time...

@Ohrmizd
We don't have a source of morale bonuses as a group. Can you do bulk Heroism? Again, Rod(s) of Lesser Extend are a good thing...

@Omari

1) sounds good to me. Hazreem will swap that spell out for Goodberry.
2) I don't see a Mass Barkskin spell on the druid spell list. How about a wand of Barkskin?
3) The rod purchase sounds like a good idea, as does the Wild armor. Hazreem will enquire as to the availability of said armor and rod (he currently wears +2 Leather Armor).

@hazreem, no there is no mass or communal barkskin spell. Thing is, at a high caster level (12), there is nothing better in the game for natural armor boosting (+5 NA to AC!), especially as it last 10 min per level (20 with extend). So it's a pretty good thing to spend 2nd level slots on (especially with the rod).

Spending Money:

Sell
Gloves of Dexterity +2 -2000 gp = 4000gp /2 (ignoring them being off-slot)
Adaptive Composite Longbow +1 -1700 gp = (2000 gp +1000 adaptive + 100 gp +300 MW)/2
Mithral Chain Shirt +2 -2625 gp = (4000 gp +1000 mithral +100 + 150 MW)/2

Purchases
large +1 Mithral Chain Shirt (Gift for Shazathared) 3200 gp =200 gp large chain shirt + 2000 gp mithral, large +1000 gp enchantment
Pale Green Prism Cracked Ioun Stone (+1 Competence to Saves) 4000 gp
+1 Holy, Fire Outsider Bane, Composite Longbow (+2 str) 32600 gp =32000 + 200 gp str + 100 gp + 300 MW
Mithral Agile Breastplate +1 5400 gp
Ring of Force Shield 8000 gp
Belt of Physical Might +2 (Dex, Con) 10000 gp
250 cold iron arrows 25 gp
25 silver weapon blanch (applied to the arrows) 125 gp

Acoording to the sheet I have 4600 gp left; I may find some more to buy.

Hazreem will enquire as to the availability of said armor and rod (he currently wears +2 Leather Armor).

Please don't. This is Katapesh. As long as it is no unique item you can buy it here.

Sell:

+2 Leather Armor: 4,303
+1 Frost Scimitar 8,315
+1 Dagger 2,302

=> 14,920/2 = 7,460 gp

plus Loot share total: 31,288 gp
New share total: 38,748 gp

Buy:
+2 Wild Leather armor 25,302 gp
2 Lesser Metamagic rods 3,000 ea/6,000 gp
Wand of Cure Moderate Wounds (50 charges) 4,500 gp

Total purchases: 35,802 gp

Loot total left over: 2,946 gp

Please let me know if I missed anything, thanks.

@Hazreem, why leather armor, when you could get leather lamellar for 58 gp more, and get +2 AC?

@Ohrmizd, maybe get a gift for Shazathared to thank her for coming (and help her out)? I got her some armor appropriate for a bard (large mithral chain shirt +1). Maybe a cloak of resistance or a con belt?

Some more spending of my own

Scroll of Inspiring Recovery 1650 gp=6X11X25
Traveller's Anytool 250 gp
Scroll of Purify Body 700 gp
Feather Token (Tree) 400 gp
Cracked Dusty Rose Prism Ioun Stone 500 gp

1177 gp left

@Heshan, some strong recommendations for gear to buy

+6 headband of charisma 36000 gp
+4 Cloak of Resistance 16000 gp
Pale Green Prism Cracked Ioun Stone (+1 Competence to Saves) 4000 gp
Circlet of Persuasion 4500 gp

You'll have another 20000 to play with beyond that...

Don't waste money after jumping to conclusions. I'm still pondering what support you will get, but I can assure you that a marid princess' first idea for sure isn't marching into a battle on the front line.

The idea of the gift is cute. Attending to Foxy's words, maybe something like a ring of friend finding, which is a declaration of intentions but does not have any impact of the game (unless she has to come save our ashes :D).

Someone is going to wrap up the shopping in game once you're ready? Or should I already move you on to the meeting with Shazathared?

I'd be nice if Heshan would chime in with what he's doing; buying some gear or not...

That said, for me, we could move on to Shazathared at your convenience.

I'm not sure if the details were presented in this game, but Rayhan has a 12'x8' pool in his house on the second floor.

A12 The walls, ceiling, and floor of this room are decorated with white porcelain tiles, with other ornate adornments that make the place seem to be more of a royal bath chamber than anything else. A large, two-foot-deep pool in the room’s center and several braziers and bins for heating polished oval rocks complete the image.

Okay, I will do just that.

Seeing as I am the newcomer here, Hazreem will not claim any Wishes here. As for the gold if there is an expensive magic item you think would help him here then I am all ears :)

You need to come up with good ideas. Last time it gave 20 fire resistance to everyone. So no need to step down before we know what the wishes should be.

Ohrmizd ponders the possibilities "Could we wish for Jhavul to be teleported here and dimensionally locked? Bringing him to fight in our terms could give us an advantage and disrupt his chance of running the ritual"

I'm pretty sure that Foxy ain't gonna let us have that one... He's got a whole temple lair of Javhul to run, not to mention, letting us set up and pick the fight would be kind of one sided...

This isn't what I was expecting, when I proposed getting help from the pactmasters. I was figuring a 10% discount in Katapesh or something. But then we wandered off on to how to fight the Firebleeder, and I wenat and brought up the Marids, and we were on to Shazathared... She's a bard, and if I was going to add a character to the current party, it'd be a bard - fill knowledge holes, skills, add bardic buffing to all the people who fight. I'd figured she'd make a fine NPC for Foxy to play with (like Rayhan was)... So I wasn't expecting her to show up with 200000gp and a couple of wishes. Maybe we could hire an NPC bard to come along? Or maybe some spellcasting services - call and bind an outsider?

Omari: since you mentioned calling an outsider Hazreem has the following ability: Servant of the Sands (Sp): At 12th level, you may call upon the aid of any type of common (non-noble) genie as if using planar ally. Perhaps he can use that ability and then augment it with a Wish to call a more powerful (ie. with class levels) outsider? I do like the idea of having a bard tag along btw. Thoughts?

This isn't what I was expecting, ...

I find it ridiculous how everyone in this world turns a blind eye to the danger that could actually mean the end of the world. Jhavhul is trying to unleash an avatar of Rovagug - a god sealed away by the cooperation of many gods that are still around. You should have armies (plural) at hand to wipe the place of Jhavhul and his plans once and for all.

And Shazathared suffered Jhavhul long enough and for her it isn't that big a thing to give you than it is for you to receive it. So why not make a good deed pay for once.

As for Bards, I love them for the RP and the multitude of skills, but I don't hink I can come up with a high level bard that is viable for a fight against the end boss of the AP. I've never really played one through the levels.

I love the idea of Hazreem using his ability and a wish to find a genie bard to help the party and give Foxy some fancy toy to play around.

If the issue is about having appropriate stats, which I totally understand, I can contribute a Bard archer I played at Pathfinder Society up to level 11: Pandora Soulkeeper

If you are interested I can give you the profile code so you just have to swap the racial traits and equipment.

Otherwise, we need to keep thinking about wishes :)

Ok, I am travelling from 5 Nov to 12 Nov. I hope to be able to keep up with posting, but if not, feel free to bot me...

Have fun.

If we cannot come up with any other innovative wish, we could ask for a Constitution and Wisdom improvement for the whole team.

Or we can spend one wish on Heshan to improve Charisma and another for Omari/Hazreem/Ohrmizd to improve Wisdom.

(It looks like we need to drop the bard idea)

You can run with a bard too. Once you agree on something we can talk details. Even the thing about wishing Jhavhul to your fighting arena. You'd still have to do the dungeon anyway, if you don't want to ditch Princess Alma.

Maybe then we can wish to free Princess Alma by teleporting her to us then. She might help with the Pactmasters and we would ensure she is fine. Then we can move on to face Jhavul.

(I will also be away until Monday)

Seems all good to me. Have a nice break you guys.

Ok, we need to get back moving here.

So freeing Princess Alma seems a good use of a wish. Then maybe save the other one for cleaning something up afterwards??

For the 200000,
5 pearls of power (2nd) for (Hazreem casting) all around (5 castings each - Omari, Ohrmizd, Heshan, Hazreem, Khedron)? - 20000 gp

That leaves 180000...

So No bard NPC? I suppose that is OK. Freeing Alma is a great idea BTW.

PS: I did find the stats for an NPC Bard that should fit in well: Shazathared. Of course whether she would wish to travel with us is unclear but we could still use the stats for a similar NPC.

As for the Pearl suggestion, Hazreem wouldn't mind a 3rd level Pearl here as the Quench spell is so darned useful against Fire types.

I like the idea of saving the second Wish here, you never know when someone will get a Destruction spell thrown at them (like what happened in Hazreem's previous PbP game).

About saving wishes - to cash it in you would have to return to the city, as none of them is going to come along.

Let's spend the wishes on rescuing the Princess and having the bard going with us.

If the bard is a no no, then, we just cash it as suggest it. If we ever need it, we can try to teleport back here, and if even that is not available, well... it is just a fallback option.

Do you want for us to state the wishes in Gameplay or you want to further discuss anything Foxy?
