WHOOPS! You can prep a level 7 character but you should still be level 6. Hahaha...
Did we have a crafter capable of bumping the enchantment on Becky's armor up from +1 to +2? (And/or her buckler to +1?) I think those're about the only things on Becky's Equipment To-Do List.
The Locathah can do crafting, but not at the PC discount.
I modified the formula to reflect the added value to the Locatha and changed the column H values to the added incremental value to them.
The cash split values at the bottom now reflect the added trade value.

Thank you, Asher :)
I believe we also have a sixth joining us for book 3: roll4initiative. They reminded me about PFS Chronicle sheets so I'll have to remember to send them out to those who want them at the end of book 3.

Not sure if this is actually happening; it looks to me like you have the added value from trading with the Locathath going into the ether.
The total value sans Locathath trade is in G107, and the individual share values are in G108 = G107/6
The added value from trading to the Locathath is in H107, and the added value to individual shares is in H108 = H107/6
The individual splits are then calculated as (Individual Split) = G$108 - (individual reserved value); shouldn't that be (Individual Split) = G$108 + H$108 - (individual reserved value)?
I have also marked the Wand of Freedom of Movement and the Scroll of Restoration as party items (ie labelled as save).
However, we need to fix the spreadsheet such that the value of such items is stripped out of the sale and split calculation.

Hiya! Just browsing the thread & characters board to get an idea for what to play. I'm thinking you all may need a rogue of some sort, but, I'm open to suggestions. Were there any instances in the previous adventures where someone said or thought something like, "Golly! I wish we had a wizard to haste us here."
Or,"What!?! Whadda ya mean nobody can pick locks or has thieves' tools?"
I am a Venture Agent for PFS, so, I'm happy to help Ventiine report the game (and previous games) for anyone who wishes to earn a Chronicle Sheet for their PFS PCs. Each chronicle awards 3 XP, which means an entire level for the PC it's applied to.
Edit: Oh, Duh. I should take a look at that RoA Player's Guide.
Did we have a crafter capable of bumping the enchantment on Becky's armor up from +1 to +2? (And/or her buckler to +1?) I think those're about the only things on Becky's Equipment To-Do List.
No. Talath only has Scribe Scroll and Craft Wondrous Items, not Craft Magic Arms and Armor.
I have also marked the Wand of Freedom of Movement and the Scroll of Restoration as party items (ie labelled as save).
However, we need to fix the spreadsheet such that the value of such items is stripped out of the sale and split calculation.
Don't forget the Wand of Freedom of Movement is down 5 charges.
Agreed on removing the items being kept from the value so it doesn't mess up the math. Once we get the amount per PC set we can have the PCs do their shopping/upgrading. The Handy Haversack would be another good item to keep; Talath could use it to keep the scroll pile dry. If needed he can add the Ring of Protection +2 to the 'Sell' pile to make up the difference.

Welcome (eventually?), roll4initiative!
As for what class of character to play, I'd say "Go with whatever interests you/makes you happy." Becky's got decent modifiers for Disable Device and Perception but doesn't actually have trapfinding and thus can't detect magical traps, so a true rogue wouldn't be out of the question.
As for PFS, I've never made a character for that and don't really see Becky as a fit there, so...not interested. I admit that I considered having her look into the possibility of learning more about the Pathfinder Society from its prominent NPC in the AP (Carver Hastings), but when I realized that joining the Society was actually a lower priority for Becky than constructing a clockwork Godzilla to help her one day rule Golarion, I gave up on that character option for her.
P.S. -- In case you haven't noticed yet, Becky's a bit of a weirdo. ;)

The formula in G107 adds up both columns G and H, so any added value to Locathah in H are captured. Then if anyone put their name in column I, their entries are added together and deducted from the split to give a final cash split.
I've also removed Antaral's items and his entry in the split to divide everything by five for now and will add a new split grid when roll4initiatove enters the game.
Hi roll4initiative,
Play what you want. We have a pretty good mix here with a Cleric, Wizard, two martial, and our Jack of All Trades, Becky.
If you want to play a Rogue, that works. Traqpfinding would be great. And access to more skills always helps.
Crispin.. feel like crafting a Belt of Physical Might +4 (Str Dex)?
DM, do the Locathah have the ability to add +2 additional enhancements to weapons? Just theory-crafting adding the Cyclonic property to Asher's bow.

No, their small tribe is good at salvaging shipwrecks and shuttling goods from you to the underwater city Talasantri (and vice versa.) Talasantri is larger than Talmandor's Bounty with more artisans. Talath (the character) knows about Talasantri and the locathah have told you they can transport items for you.
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.
Being a small city, Talasantri has a base value of 4,000g for magic items and a purchasing limit of 25,000g.
Talmandor's Bounty is currently the size of a village. A base value of 500g for magic items and a 2,500g purchasing limit.
The supply ship from Andoran is treated as if you were purchasing and selling things from Andoran. (So you can find and get whatever you want.)
This AP is kinda weird because of the purchasing limits but I think it's more immersive.

So, for an example, I am contemplating buying a Pearl of the Sirines, as I have come to the conclusion that the Cloak of the Manta Ray will get me killed ...
It functions as Beast Shape II, which dissapears all of your equipment, including your armor... for a front line type this is not optimal. Not to mention that would eat my occultist focusing implements, so no casting as well.
I want to purchase the pearl through the Locathah for the 25% off (which would make it 0.75*15300 = 11475 gp)
So, it is worth more than 5000 gp, thus there is only a 10% chance they have it.
> 90 is they have it here.
Assuming they don't have it, they can get it within 2d6 days from another (unspecified) settlement:
days

I have added a line to remove the party items from the total.
(In line 114 I have added another row to the reserved table for items labelled save. This adds up the value of the total saved items, and is them subtracted from the overall total in G107).
Available Cash = 1362.9 gp (previous cash) + 24,427.03 (my current split as calculated) = 25789.93
Planned Purchases:
Upgrade Shield to +1, +1000gp
+2 Headband of Vast Intelligence (Sense Motive), 4000 gp
Pearl of the Sirines 11475 gp (.75 price from the Locathah as it is a swimming item), will have to wait 10 days for delivery.
Belt of Physical Might +2 (Dex, Con) 10000 gp
Total: 26475
Planned Sales
Sell Cloak of the Manta Ray (to the ship), -3600 gp
Sell Longsword -8.5 gp
Sell Horsechopper -5 gp
Total: -3613.5
Remaining Cash: 2928.43 gp
(and I reserve the right to spend some more if I think of something).

I'm sorry, everyone! After giving it some thought I'm going to have to back out. There's a PFS PbP Con next month that I'm GMing a Special event for which would mean my posting here would lag throughout quite a bit. I'm already playing in a couple other games and thought I could handle one more, but alas, I don't think I can take on another game, especially one that's as deep & involved as this one.
Also, you all are a pretty tight-knit group and I feel I would just be kind of a 5th (6th?) wheel joining in after you all have done the first two books together. I know that was kind of the point, but, it just feels weird jumping in so late. After reading through the Player's Guide, this AP looks really —like, right up my alley— awesome and I would rather play it from the beginning.
However, I am more than happy to join your group if you start a new AP later on. I read through the last 2 pages of this game so far and I have to say that Ventiine is an awesome GM and you players are remarkably awesome as well.
Again, I'm sorry for not joining in.

No worries, roll4initiative! Happy gaming!
You know, since we are transitioning to book 3, let's keep things with loot simple: Buy and upgrade what you want. The supply ship from Andoran will have what you want. Don't worry about the Locathah delivery time.
Book 3 is "go, go, go" so I don't want the party to be tied up waiting on purchases. Book 3 will be a fresh chapter and I want it to feel like a clean, new, and shiny transition.
Just follow the standard buying rules - with the exception of the Locathah water-breathing/maneuvering item discounts and the previously agreed upon air-breathing purchases (necklaces and underwater weapons.) The ship will be in port for about a week, so you can always go back and purchase/sell more into the beginning of Book 3. I'll make it very clear when the ship leaves because I don't want to blindside anybody.
Hopefully, nobody is too upset by my decision regarding loot acquisition as we approach book 3. If you are, we can always discuss alternatives!
So, for an example, I am contemplating buying a Pearl of the Sirines, as I have come to the conclusion that the Cloak of the Manta Ray will get me killed ...
** spoiler omitted **...
Remember, the Pearl of Sirines needs to be held in hand or pressed against the breast so you wouldn't have a the two hands needed to wield the ranseur.
Given the amount of coins available after items are sold you could put the 'Wild' enchantment on Mauro's armor to get around the Beast Shape issue.

1) It's a slotless item
2) I'm cheating on the hands to use the Ranseur anyways by using Shield Brace. I can brace on a shield that who's hand is wrapped around both Pearl and shield grip...3) if worst comes to worse, I will use some bandages to make a strap to hold the pearl to my breast...
OK, I think I finally have a decent feeling for how the Loot List(s) work. Under the Book 2 tab, I see a line where Becky has 6,740 gp in the Spent/Reserved column and 25,243 in the Cash Split column.
Am I correct in assuming the first is her share in unspent gold and the second is a total of equipment/treasure she claimed?
No, your spent/reserved is the value of the items that you wanted from the loot we found already - these items are indicated by the tag in the Disposition column (Column I). The items you have reserved were a +1 rapier and the Eelskin armor.
The Cash Split, 25243 for Becky in this case, is the amount your cash out portion of this particular loot split; what you have left over from previous splits and whatever spending you did should be tracked on your character sheet.
Also, just in case, you should not be using the tab labelled Book 2, not Book 2 (GM Copy); the GM Copy is Ventiine's.

So for Talath it's 31,983 minus items from above that he kept. For some reason the one Ring of Protection +2 wasn't listed under him. Thus, if he kept it, I'd subtract the 8,000 GP value of the ring from the 31,983? Or the 4,000 GP sale amount from the 31,983? Just trying to get a sense of how much gold he has to purchase items. I really wanted to use Craft Wondrous to make a Pearl of Power (3rd) but I don't know if we'd have the 6 days he'd need. Which would leave the option of spending 9k to buy one - youch.
I plan on progressing the story Monday (tomorrow) or after Asher and Crispin post. Whichever comes first
Asher has decided to get the following on the ship:
Bane Baldric - 10,000 GP
Cyclonic Enchantment on Bow - 16,000 GP
Selling:
Masterwork Buckler: 77.5 GP
Asher can now breathe underwater indefinitely and will get a swim speed next level.

The issue with the Rings of Protection+2 (there were/are 2) is that Asher grabbed one right away, and then after no one claimed the other, I proposed to take it and then you spoke up, but didn't put your name beside it on the party's copy of the sheet.
About 6 months later, as the second ring was still unclaimed on the loot sheet,
I asked again and 2 people spoke for it, you and Crispin.
If you want it (and have decided between you and Crispin), put the appropriate name in the disposition column (copy it from F113, to match it exactly for the lookup function). Then the assorted player share values will sort themselves out at the sheet recalculates.
Crispin spend most of his gold on boosting his AC with an Amulet of natural armor +2, and a Ring of Protection +2. I thought the Ring in the loot had been claimed.
So it can go to Talath.
I have 10,000gp left if anyone needs a loan to purchase something?
We can assume that you all informed Ramona of everything. I know we got caught up in loot for a while.

Loot SheetAntaral put his name on one, I put Talath's on the other. I never thought it was Talath's to keep; I assumed it was a loaner until the time came to sell the loot.
I had to do a quick revision since a Bane Baldrick only works with one-handed or light weapons.
So, instead of that:
Bracers of Armor +2 - 4,000 GP
Cracked Dusty Rose Prism Ioun Stone - 500 GP
Pearl of Power (Level 1) - 1,000 GP
Quick Runner's Shirt - 1,000 GP
Scabbard of Vigor - 1,800 GP
2 x Spring Loaded Wrist Sheaths - 30 GP
10 x Potions of Enlarge Person - 500 GP
Reserving the rest for further potions later
I also had to remove the Barcers of Armor since they don't stack and just added +1 to the Mithral Shirt.
Hello All!
I appreciate being invited to join your expedition, treasure hunt, dungeon delving.
I am still fiddling with your new crew member, so any comments, questions, concerns please let me know.
Think Jaraxle...hehe. I need an eye patch!
Is the +1 Breastplate Talath has in his Temporary Items Mauro's?
I have been reading the Game Play thread. This group is really fun to read.
@Asher you really hit hard! Your AC is cool. My Hunter in RoW has an Ant.
These fakers are in for it!
Thanks. Can't wait to have another person to get into the mix. Mauro puts out a surprising amount of damage too, considering he almost always has a skeleton tanking the front line.
But we owe a lot to Becky, Talath, and Crispin for the buffs.
Casters being my preferred method of character creation, my appreciation of them is high!
Post incoming when I get off work tonight. It'll be longer due to narration

Cirok Brokencrown requesting to come aboard!
He should be ready for your perusal......
Cirok, do you want to join at the end of book 2? Instead of book 3 start? I can roll you in for Round 2! Looking over your sheet now
If everyone doesn't mind him already leveled to 7th? Spoiler? Oops!
I will dot in Gameplay? I am all caught up on current situation!
(haha, ding spoilers...)
I'll roll you in at the start of Round 2. However, I'm going to leave it up to the players if you should temporarily bump yourself down to level 6. I know level 7 is a damage bump on a rogue's sneak attack and BAB. (You can keep the gold that seems like a pain to recalculate since we're almost to the end.)

Welcome to the game, Cirok!
I'd say stick with 7th level--too much of a pain to adjust things down for just a short while.
