I’ll deduct it out of common funds later.
The Holy Weapon Balm will be a nice addition. We should also think about something like Ghost Salt for Mauro and Myself. We’re in a bad place if we encounter anything incorporeal.

That's what the Holy Weapon Balm is for - incorporeal undead. It basically gives you Ghost Touch for one hit and that's great for Asher since he's a crit fighter. I have it on my PFS Paladin and it came in handy when our party fought two Wraiths.

Actually, it's really an archer's toy... You can coat 10 projectiles or 1 melee weapon from a pot.

Yes it's better cost-wise for archers but it's worth the cost for a Paladin to get full damage on a smite attack with a nodachi. :)

From the book: "The locathahs have relations with various settlements in the region and can serve as a nomadic marketplace. There’s a 75% chance that the locathahs have access to a specific item worth 2,000 gp or less, a 50% chance they have access to an item worth 5,000 gp or less, and a 10% chance that they can provide more expensive items."
"If the PCs request an item that the locathahs don’t immediately have, Koloshkora can direct her followers to seek out the desired item in the undersea town of Talasantri or another settlement. Requesting items from other settlements takes time, but the locathahs can typically return with the desired item in 2d6 days."
"Items that aid land-dwellers in underwater conditions (scavenged from shipwrecks or drowned adventurers) can be purchased at a 25% discount, as the aquatic humanoids who make up the settlement don’t have need for such things. Spellcasting services and weapon and armor enchantment are available in the town as well, provided the PCs don’t mind being without their item for the time necessary to transport and enchant it."

Thanks! I couldn't remember if they would trade items for other items in lieu of gold.

If Mr. Asher could deduct Scribing Scroll costs for:
Scroll of Invisibility Purge
Scroll of Remove Disease
Scroll of Align Weapon, Communal
from the list. If anyone has an idear for another Clerc scroll of 3rd level or lower, post it here and I'll substitute it for Remove Disease and/or Align Weapon, Communal.

Also on the topic of shopping, did Alba re-open her shop?
Oh and Talath will spend 1 gold to buy a sap if one is available...
*looks at Crispin*

As an aside, I mulled it over and decided on Many Shot instead of Rapid Shot as Asher's new feat. Both give an extra arrow, but Many Shot doesn't give a -2 to all shots in the round.
Talath Na'El |
Maybe Lesser Restoration? That's always handy.
It is which is why Talath has 3 of them already in stock. :)

What other choices are there? It would be nice if you could choose a boost to Asher's nodachi swings.

As a ranger, Asher gets bonus style feats for archery on even-numbered levels that allow him to skip prerequisites. So, they have to be for archery.
Ordinarily, he would not have been able to get a third attack with the bow and still have such a high attack bonus with both his main weapons.
His odd-level feats go to his Nodachi. The one exception will be to use the next one to get Boon Companion for Huntress, making her more survivable, deadly, and giving her the Death Roll ability.

Ah okay I was thinking bonus feats. If he's on the 'Archery' path, take Improved Precise Shot and never have to worry about cover penalties (except total cover) for shooting his bow.
Asher 'Cinnis' Regillenus |
That's probably his next archery feat.
The dual path gives him a lot of flexibility. He can plink well with a few out of order archery feats, and with two-handed melee, it doesn't take a lot to be effective. Besides, I have always liked the switch hitting Ranger as a fiction archetype.

Seconded!
BTW, Becky's still trying to work up the courage to say "Hello" to Huntress.

So my work start date was delayed so I drove 13 1/2 hr yesterday from VA to FL. I'll get a post up later tonight. My new job starts on the 4th
Congrats on the new job and get some rest first. We can wait around for a post. :)
I'll save the list of questions for when you're awake.Talath Na'El |
In my next post, I'll add the two strix into Round 1 combat. I need to make up a stat block for them because the book didn't give me one D:
Seriously? They aren't listed in the back in the NPC section? That's where they listed helpful NPCs in 'Skull & Shackles' I believe.
Before wading into combat I had a couple questions:
1) Is the weapon shop open for business and selling at least 1 sap?
2) Did Alba re-open her shop? Talath is looking for alchemical supplies and we had Antaral brewing away on other items.
3) Do the locathah just want gold or are they willing to trade magic items for magic items?
GM Ventiine |
1 Yes, you could buy or sell a sap in Talmandor's Bounty
2 Alba's shop is still closed
3 The locathah barter but they can transport your gold to the Aquatic Elves' city to purchase things on your behalf. They can also sell your things in the city and swim back to deliver you the gold. Sadly this AP makes buying and selling a little more challenging unless the party is having extended downtime. You all could choose to do your own thing for a few weeks after this encounter or after area H if you wished

2a) Has anyone seen Alba? I guess we'll have to wait until after the current combat to worry about it but that's something we would've looked into.
3a) It can be tricky having played 'Skull & Shackles' with buying/selling. We'll see what the party decides when we get to the next stopping point.GM Ventiine |
I added Ookra's spells and skills to the "Campaign Info" tab since she has the option to remain with the party into Book 3. Roleplay-wise, its assumed the party talks to Ookra during the long hikes across the island or in the evenings and learn her strengths and skills. (I won't make us type out the RP conversations.)

I haven't forgotten about you all. The first week of the new job is just kicking my butt. I found out on my first day that they haven't had any librarians since the beginning of Covid so I'm having to build up active and passive programming from the ground. The library I'm at has a lot of catching up to do and I'm having to create content for this and next week when typically librarians plan events and programs a full season (3-4 months) in advance.
By next week, I'm going to try to coordinate it so I'll be able to do a play-by-post during my 1-hour lunch break. I'll definitely have time this weekend for some good story.

Whoa! That's like 2 years! Yikes! I now have this mental image of you buried up to your nose in papers, books, etc...
Asher 'Cinnis' Regillenus |
Take as much time as you need. I'll catch up with Find the Path Podcast in the meantime to scratch the itch.

As a note, Mauro's vote is to talk to it...

Hehe, I tried to be sneaky on that one
A sneak! 8)

I don't think that that's a TRAP trap; it's a creature, a leechroot, that will jump up and eat our faces if we get too close...
