Prey for Death (Inactive)

Game Master andreww

Looking back you can add the following to your loot:

3 +1 striking greatswords
2 +2 returning, wounding, striking spears
9 sets of +1 resilient armour

From Ordulf, if not already accounted for:

+2 greater resilient greater cold-resistant full plate
+2 greater striking animated greataxe
+2 greater striking greater frost greatsword
greater potions of flying (2)

+2 greater striking greater frost greatsword

I'll take this and transfer the runes to my sword and bow.

greater potions of flying (2)

these are pretty good, anyone want these, or will we rely on Sass for fyling?

@Party. I took a lot of the very valuable loot. A good diplomacy roll might convince Skarn to reduce his share of the cash after selling.

@Tomas, There's more than one Greater Striking rune in our loot. You should probably put one on your new favourite weapon?

@Jax, how about a Major Spy Staff or a Dragonprism Staff? Just a suggestion. But any staff is good increase spell slots per day.

Yes, Tomas will take the Greater Striking rune spreadsheet updated

Tomas will also buy a Bring Me Near spyglass.

Sassarra will point out that most of the treasure is useless to her. She will insist that the only fair way to split it is for everybody to count the sell value of items that they take as part of their share.

Consumables and party treasure won't count toward that.

If Skarn doesn't see the value of this, it's not going to be diplomacy she rolls.

While assassins are greedy, they are also lawful. And I am saying player to player not to be a jerk about this. We're not likely to ever find enough treasure geared toward Sassarra in this adventure to make this fair.

I show the totals per the sheet are:
Share taken Cash value
Skarn 7500 4667
Tomas 3360 8807
Jax 0 12167
Sassarra 0 12167

Could have done this ingame ;)

Sheet updated to

Skarn 7500 4504.5
Tomas 2345 9659.5
Jax 0 12004.5
Sassarra 0 12004.5

Sold back my Caterwaul sling and the bullets as I never used it. Bought myself a wand of jump so I won't waste a level 1 spell slot outside of combat, the spell slots can be used for sure strike which has been nerfed, but hey 10 minutes and can be used again. Bought myself a wand of translocate and a cloak of the bat. Oh and 30 More arrows.
Oh right and 1 wand of disintegrate, so I can cast it once safely outside of combat. I realize how useful hiding bodies is or can be in this game. And a 5th level wand of wall of ice. I'm ready

with all the wands, you might wanna equip a greater or major Retrieval Belt, too.

Skarn's Shopping list:
10x Potion of Quickness 900 gp
10x Potion Patch 200 gp
Phantasmal Doorknob (Greater) Spellheart 900 gp
Echo Receptors 900 gp
Aeon Stone (Preserving) 150 gp
Enigma Mirror Spellheart 325 gp

Phantasmal Doorknob is very much not available.

Phantasmal Doorknob is very much not available.

:) fair enough. I would have asked, if hadn't said you can buy anything up to your level.

I'll get a Major Jolt Coil instead. I collect all the elements!
(also bought some Predator Claws for my bow and aSwift Block Cabochon for my shield)

I should have mentioned it. I ban very little in 2E but the doorknob is just busted.

I thought we were only doing post-remaster sources. In that case, I'll add a grim sandglass. protection against void and a little healing or offense as needed.

We are. Post remaster only please.

uh. OK. Really no Treasure Vault?

ok, I submit. Will remove the spellhearts and the Potion Patches. Will get a Greater Retrieval Belt instead. Will equip the sword with a Gallow Tooth tlasmin and the armor with a Greater Emerald Grasshopper talisman.

Oh, and remember that antidotes last 6 hours. We should definitely plan on poison for the next section of the game.

Maybe we should buy some antidotes.

I already have Resistance to Poison 7 and am +1 vs poisons.

You have a status bonus and antidotes are item bonuses, so they stack. Heck, I have the highest fort save and I'm buying a bunch of the moderate ones.

I don't know if I like the book's approach here: Forcing everyone to talk and roll.

I get that PF 2e is supposed to be teamwork driven and that the Aid action is only relevant at very low levels. But this doesn't make sense story-wise that the druid would force everyone in the party to give a statement and evaluate everyone separately. Of course, any adventurer party oder team of criminals should have a spokesperson. And what he says should be enough.
We're atually missing it, but most often there's at least one dumb, big, uncharismatic brute that you don't want to open his mouth.
It's a bit railroady...

anyway, nice work, Sass, in explaining the political circumstances with a Society check.

I suppose that they want to err on the side of giving everybody a say. And with the way the big swingy d20 works, it's good to have more than one chance.

It also makes sense for them, because they want to see if the less suave people break.

I figured a druidic type would be swayed by respecting ancient traditions.

At skarn, I get that, but the Dm did give us hints as to what skills are best for this game. He did say diplomacy deception and intimidation so everyone took one or more of those. Had he not gave us hints we might be lacking a few skills.

He wants to hear from each of you, thats not really unreasonable. I was also clear that you could use a range of skills, providing you could justify its use. Athletics would be very hard to justify but, in a scenario like this, I would not expect to run a character with no useful skills available to them. If you are building characters to the theme of the module then you should have something useful. 2E does a pretty good job of making it fairly east to have a range of options, regardless of class.

this was more of a meta-rant against Paizo and a trend that I noticed.

Just a heads up, I am busy with Paizocon over the next 3 days so things are likely to be quite slow.

I will be away until Wednesday.

OK, I will update once you are back and have posted.

Question @Tomas: Don't you have anything better available for your third action than crit-fishing for a Nat20? (you won't hit with -10...)

Not really. I didn't design Tomas as a fighter, but, more as an infiltrator.

so, Treasure Vault has been remastered. Is it now available?

Sure but check with me first on anything you want. Doorknob is still not available.

Oh wait a second I think I posted too early for round 3. The enemies didn’t go yet for us to take round 3 actions have they?

They have not.

can we speed up a little? We're down to 2 posts / day in the gameplay thread. we should be at 5/day

Hi all, for various reasons I am struggling to continue to run this game. I am going to seek an alternate GM for you all.

Thanks for being honest about this. Real life happens.

No problem, honestly if this game is slow I’m okay with that. If this game takes 12 more months to complete I’ll still see it through.

that's a shame, you were doing a good job
