Updated the loot sheet and consolidated some stuff. Will revise once we sell off stuff to Oleg.
See if there's anything anyone wants to claim before that.
After reading through the Campaign Info section and making a few changes (you don't need to go looking for those changes but knock yourself out if you want), there is one fairly big thing Valentiine and I disagree on that I wanted to bring up:
I am a self-acknowledged rules lawyer. This means that 1) I am more than happy to answer rules questions, and 2) please feel free to question anything that seems out-of-place. If a monster has a special rule-breaking ability I will tell you as much (without giving any details you haven't Knowledged!), and occasionally the rule-of-cool might make an appearance, but I generally like to stick to Rules As Written.
Does anyone want one of the masterwork hand axes as a back up weapon (I might take one). I figure we're probably selling the weapons and armor, keeping the potions.
Is there anything anyone wants to claim?
None of the options really fits Yuki. So I'm fine with you selling
Can't use martial weapons I'm afraid.
Yeah I figured
So selling the following items:
Leather Armor (6) 60.0
Short sword (7) 70.0
Longbow (2) 150.0
Composite Longbow (+2 Str) 300.0
Masterwork Handaxe (1) 306
Studded Leather 25
Leather Armor (6) 60
Short sword (6) 60
Longbow (6) 450
Twelve kobold-sized spears 12
Daggers (26) 52
Lutes (2) 10
Leather armor, masterwork 160
Gold candelabra 200
Silver hand mirror 120
Pair of silver earrings (Art worth 150g)
Wooden music box (Art worth 90g)
TOTAL 2,275, SOLD FOR 50% = 1,137.5
Adela do you want the Jade holy symbol of Pharasma?
Yep, looks good. Divided by 5 gives each of you 227 gold and 5 silver.
Now's a good time to talk about Oleg's Trading Post as a, well, trading post. As long as you don't go crazy, I'm not going to bother tracking his inventory and liquidity-- you aren't the only ones who pay him visits, after all. We can assume his stock contains anything you need that's non-magical and not made from special materials. Magic items and other specific stuff (like a mithral chain shirt) he'll have to order specially, so those items will take 1 week to arrive.
That's reasonable. Adela I think both scrolls are only on your spell list so you take them.
One of us should have the potion of CLW in case we need to administer it to get our healer back on her feet.
Those only proficiant with simple weapons should probably take some of the darts to have a basic ranged option in a pinch.
I'm seriously drawing a blank what to get. So I'll save till I have enough for mithril armor
Adela will definitely take the jade holy symbol. I'm surprised I missed it when we found it.
What are the scroll spells?
Magic stone (CL1), Shield other (CL 3)
Do we want to distribute potions or just have a general potion pool we pull from as needed?
I'd say distribute them among the party. We have no idea when we might get separated from each other and someone will need healing?
1 each at very least

Or give them all to Adela and beg for her mercy. :)
Yeah good idea. LOL
We've got:
Potion of Shield of Faith +2
Potion of Cure Light Wounds
Potion of resist electricity (CL 3)
2 Vials of Antitoxin
I recommend a non-healer have the potion to give to Adela if needed. Adela, you take the want of CLW since you're the only one that can use it.

I've got the wand listed on my sheet. Still unused my some miracle.
I think we need to take a day or two of rest. I have 4 dex damage to heal, and maybe we want to try and treat Rhiann's disease...
Yep I agree.
So at 1 pt per day (2 with Complete bed rest) it would take Erik 4 days to fully heal (2 if doing nothing but resting). It'll be 3 days of onset before I have to start making saves for Red Ache, so some moderate downtime would be a good idea
It takes Adela a little time to properly set up, but once she's familiar with what she has to work with she provides some proper healing.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Remember that with a Heal check to provide Long-Term Care, you can double the normal effects of resting. Adela unfortunately doesn't make the first one so overnight Erik receives only 1 point of Dex back, but with her success Erik recovers 2 more points in the second 8 hours (total of 3). This would put it at about mid-afternoon and leaves you with 8 hours of travel time the next day before needing to make camp, if you want to take it.
Rhiann's disease is a little less straightforward. Without magical effects like remove disease, you'd have to wait for the 3-day onset to elapse before you can even try to cure it. However, I'm happy to let Adela use that nat-20 to help Rhiann, so in 3 days Rhiann will get a +4 to her Fort save (and won't take any penalties until then).
That's awesome. So we might take Mimek to meet his tribe, but otherwise go light and rest at Oleg's for the next 4 days, to make sure we're not somewhere it'll be overly detrimental if (worst case scenario) I failed the save for the disease.
Anyone heard from Alyssa?
Anyone heard from Alyssa?
Not I
Last post was on Apr 16th.
Maybe do a quick recruitment as we're at the trading post and pick up some form of Arcane caster?
I run several games and can ask some reliable posters if we want a quick turnaround.
Sounds like a good idea. GM ST would you prefer a quick recruitment or players checking to see if anyone we know wants to jump in?
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
She hasn't responded to my PM either.
I will put up a recruitment today. I'm glad there's only five four of you, so that if she does return there are no balance issues to worry about. I know the build rules have changed multiple times so far, so I'll keep it reasonable.
Preemptively saying hi to Dare. Welcome to the group
Welcome aboard Dare.
Welcome to the party!
Hi all! Thanks so much for having me, I know the choice wasn't easy.
Please let me know if there's anything Dare should be aware of going into this.
Hope you enjoy the game Dare.
Please let me know if there's anything Dare should be aware of going into this.
Just whatever's under your intro spoiler.
like any shifter, even more so a kitsune, you dont reveal that side of your race just willy nilly. so it will come apparent in time, just not yet
Just FYI I will be very busy the next couple days and may be a little slow, but I will check in when I can.
In regards to the tree
Maaaaaaaagic
Sorry for going quiet, I've been in hospital dealing with stomach issues.
Will be catching up over the next day.
Feel better!
Get well soon!
I apologize if this part seems a little hand-holdy. What happens in this cave is heavily dependent on the decisions you've made along the way, and we've reached the point where you get to see how your actions determine the shape of this little microcosm of kobold politics.
So if it seems like what's happening doesn't require you to be here, that's only because it's the culmination of what you've already been doing.
Is it okay if I change my background skill from Lore (Evocations) to something like Lore (Bandits) or something like that? I had that in an earlier version of the character that didn't have Spellcraft trained, but it's kind of redundant with Spellcraft. After I bought that up I forgot to change the background skill.
Yep, no problem!
I won't hold you to it, I promise, and recognize especially in the thick of things, like being in the middle of a dungeon crawl, a check is going to be required. I more was hoping to expedite the matter since we're hitting the end of that particular quest and know you'd probably want to move on.
I'd forgotten it was a no retries check because every game I've played--and ran--just auto-IDs magic items just to save time and aggravation--especially when PCs are nowhere near civilization to have a storekeep identify the things you couldn't. Houserules usually rely on the odd identify or legend lore to get a command word or fully, properly understand the nature of an artifact, but generally everyone can tell the shiny super-sharp sword is a +1 weapon, etc. Indeed, before this, I'd actually forgotten RAW you have to ID items at all. I'll adjust, and might have Dare pick up the identify spell when she levels.
Question since indeed we do have to ID items: since we ARE in the wilderness without convenient lore experts, are any magic items we fail to identify just useless to us, can we try to figure out what they do via experimentation, and/or will we find opportunities to identify them eventually?
You can always try using them to determine what happens. Things like potions can be identified with the sip test method, and craft alchemy can be used for alchemical items. Leveling and adding a point in the appropriate skill would give you a recheck, and I'm sure we come across the occasion arcane or divine caster who might be willing to identify things for a fee or a favor.
It fits with the remote Outpost feel of Kingmaker but some things that tend to be standard run of the mill City campaign might require some outside the box thinking.

The way I've always played and run, a magic item you can't identify is essentially useless-- you can always put it on and see if it does anything passively (prompting the GM to say something like "You feel like you can balance and pivot easier than before: +5 Acrobatics" or whatever) but since a command word could be just about anything, activated abilities are pretty much non-functional.
It's one of the reasons why just about every spellcaster I've ever played puts at least a few ranks into Spellcraft.
It fits with the remote Outpost feel of Kingmaker
Also this!
Updated the loot sheet. Erik, let me know when you've added that batch of 80 arrows to your inventory and I'll delete it from the loot sheet. Anyone want to claim any of the existing potions?
Adela will take the Potion of shield of faith if no one else wants it?
Sounds good.
Boots of Elvenkind in 3.x gave you +5 to move silently. I blame that
