125 g from each of us would get a wand of CLW (with 50 charges) so the cost does not fall to one person.

That sounds reasonable. I'm thinking we might want to do the same for Monkey Fish. If not, we may want some backup method for water breathing. 1 potion for the party doesn't leave a lot of room for error.
A "sleep" potion/wand/way to deal with folks non-lethally might also be good... or lots of rope...
I think the Monkey Fish wand is a good idea. Juliet's down with spending 250 on both wands.
While it would not work in this instance, Alex does have Craft (Alchemy) so she can make alchemical items. Tanglefoot bags are nice crowd control, I would bought a few, but I cannot carry the weight (4 lbs each)
I will do the wand of Monkeyfish as well... Alex has that as a known Formulae as well.

Sure let's do it.
Wands make the world go round and the party not die.
Writing a report for a grant we just finished and it is taking a bit longer than anticipated. I may be absent a couple of days as the deadline approaches.
Do we have access to poison? Drow poison would be ideal...
OK, Juliet will requisition the following:

Going to say no to poison from the quartermaster. Also, I'm not entirely sure that the setting even has an underdark. Regardless, if there were hypothetical drow, you couldn't buy their poison at the store.
@All: I'm moving us along, so those who haven't, please finish up your shopping.
Wands Glorious Wands (250 gp)
Waterproof Bag x 2 (1 gp)
Swim Fins (1 sp) - +10 to swim speed, reduces land speed to 5ft, 5 rounds to don or doff.
Diving Suit (10gp) - +1 Swim check, must be outer garmet and will be damaged to uselessness after several rounds of combat.
Compressed Air (50 gp) - 10 minutes of breathable air.
Cat Burglar's Kit (15 gp) - Contains 50ft Silk Rope, Masterwork Backpack, 5 sheets of glue paper, grappling hook, glass cutter.
Chameleon Pill (100 gp) - +4 stealth for 4 hours.
Cracked Mulberry Pentacle Ioun Stone (400 gp) - +1 to Diplomacy and Bluff.
827 gp spent so far, but I'll keep my initial gear too which, amusingly, gives me exactly 999gp and 1sp worth of gear. Anyone need 9sp worth of something?
Two wand shares: 250gp
Tanglefoot bag x5: 250g
Smoke pellet, smog x4: 160g
Alchemical Glue & Accelerant: 45g
Troll Styptic: 100g
Brewed Reek x4: 160g
Bag of marbles x2: few silver
So two wands of cure light wounds? Alsah can use those wands without use magic device, so do we have her carry them?
We are 150gp short of the price, I think. One will only have 79 charges?
One want of CLW and one wand of Monkeyfish. Not sure who can use the wand of Monkeyfish, now that I think of it though.
I think we have the gold in hand. 750 gp for each wand x2 = 1500 gp or 250 gp/person, which everyone has committed to.
Monkey Fish is on the Magus spell list, amusingly.
Alexandra can also use both wands (as house ruled by the GM for an Investigator to do so)
In hindsight, we should have grabbed a bag of holding. I think we're going to have to shed armor before the swim. Think we can pull a raft or boat along with our gear as we swim to the location?
Not a problem for me (hee hee)

It's an underwater sea cave that you are swimming through, so everything is going to have to be carried with you. You'll be following a rope and have water breathing, so it shouldn't be an issue if you are worried about armour check penalties.
I know a few of us have waterproof bags for lugging our more delicate bits and pieces though, so I'm sure Bryn could grab one to use.
They may have them on the ship
Also, I have just realised Alsah has a -1 swim (ulp!)
I guess wear and tear from saltwater isn't a factor, and it's not like Bryn has firearms, so I guess it should be all right. Armor check penalties is a concern, but here's to hoping everything happens after we arrive :)
It'd be funny if they put a random water encounter table here...
Doh Waterproof containers I completely forgot about those. TBH even if allowed to retcon, this is going to be an exciting issue because they're only mostly waterproof. I have a horrible feeling Peach may be semi-useless with soggy powder.
Waterproof Bag: This leather sack sealed with tar or pitch
keeps delicate items from being ruined by water. Items
kept inside remain relatively dry, making the bag ideal for
carrying maps, scrolls, spellbooks, and the like, although
the bag is not impervious and can only be completely
immersed for 10 rounds before enough water seeps in to
ruin such items.
which is why I have two. One inside the other. And scroll cases
just have to hope the swim isn't very long
Your PCs knew that the plan involved swimming, so feel free to retcon any purchases as necessary. Touch of the sea and waterproof scrolls or potions will do in a pinch.
Yes, I will switch out two of my scrolls for one of each and have cast them.
Or more correctly, as neither are witch spells, I'll get someone to cast them on me
There is always the trick of the everyman scroll/wand, where you,take them as a wonderous item, of course, but that is more costly
Handy Haversack is what I am going to be after when the funds are available and still able to upgrade to keep up.
Muleback Cords are going to be nice too (1000g) to get an carrying as if you had a strength 8 points higher (an 18 in Alex's case)
The dreams of characters and the gear we want to get them!
I'm intending to have Messer upgrade his arm to Wyroot when I can, because more spellpoints is kinda essential when you have less spells. Plus a wooden arm sounds aesthetically pleasing and a great way to merge tech and nature.
Sadly, as with most of the stuff in this archetype, it's randomly more expensive to do - 50% more than usual - so I need to wait until we have around 2000gp or more before I can try it.
FYI, I'll be away for the weekend, so please feel free to bot Bryn as needed.
Very busy at work. Hope to get caught up tonight but please bot if needed.
Does our new, explosive friend have a Danoran or Risurian accent?
Does our new, explosive friend have a Danoran or Risurian accent?
Very much Danoran.
Are we gonna go for the honesty approach or try an interesting but possibly more plausible lie?
Thankfully Bryn isn't there to have to pick one ;)
I'm leaning towards the former though. Maybe he wants to preserve an all out conflict?
If it helps with your decision making, the whole point of your mission is to avoid conflict with the Danorans.
In case the group is waiting for a vote here:
Ok folks, are we deescalating, or am I rolling initiative?
Bryn will react to what the group decides; he's not really in a position to coordinate with everyone so he'll sit this vote out.
But otherwise what do you guys want to do? Combat or pass?
Messer would pass. In a best case scenario we beat a guy up because he has a thing we want even though we have no right to it and at the end of the mission we hand it to our bosses, who will most likely hand it over to Danor to help keep the peace. It doesn't feel like what a group of elite officers should do.
Sorry, I hoped to get a gameplay post up today but I'm getting hammered at work. I'd prefer to pass for now, and come back if we need to.

we are first level, so elite may be going a bit far, but you have a point. Alsah will step back.
For what it's worth, either outcome would have been fine, but, as with most decisions, there are pro and cons to both.
Getting walloped at work - hope to be back tomorrow.
Will posted after work today.
I got distracted this morning, will post later today.
Sorry about the delay, my laptop stopped working in bizzare ways and took a while to fix (turns out the power button only works when Windows hasn't loaded).
How can windows be loaded without pressing the power button? Isn't it off at that point?
