Opps My bad


Here is a RE CAP that the Gnoll DM posted WAYYYYYYY back.

DM RECAP:

A year after your liberation of Kelmarane, a prophet of Sarenrae appeared in the village by the name of Qadir, warning you of an imminent invasion by the Carrion King and his forces from his throne in the House of the Beast. You were advised of a secret entrance through a Path of Fire. You traveled for a week to the cave, wherein you activated an ancient portal that teleported you to a scorching underground lair of fire salamanders. There, you allied yourself with one of the salamanders, Lasserak, who advised you to take out the head of the Salamander tribe, a female named Ataraxia and her elemental bodyguard Onyx, due to their ties with the Carrion King. You did so successfully and were allowed to use another runic teleportation device to transport yourselves into the House of the Beast. There, you fought a fiend and numerous gnolls, before encountering the half-ogre Lazrul, a former slave of the Carrion King, and his band of survivors. After surviving an ambush, you fought your way to the Carrion King's throne room, where you finally dispatched the gnoll leader with ease, causing a withdrawal of the rest of the gnolls in the fortress. Lazrul and his men bid adieu and left. However, there was still danger, as a demonic centipede that the Carrion King worshiped attacked but ultimately, succumbed to your blows. A tattooed 7' gnoll worshiper of Lamashtu then came in and thanked you for your efforts in dispatching the false servant of Rovagug. A possessed Eli led the party further into the bowels of the House of the Beast, bypassing traps, moaning spirits, and finally, encountering a winged horse demon. Though a difficult fight, the party survived, though Tyronel died before the might of the demon's death magic. The party found a powerful item, known as the Scroll of Kakishon in a sarcophagus. On their way out of the House of the Beast, the party was set upon by "Qadir", who revealed himself to be Zayifid, a former Templar of the Four Winds, and his troglodyte priest ally. They wanted the Scroll but the party refused and combat ensued, finally ending with the troglodyte's death but Zayifid's escape. The appearance of more gnolls from other tribes entering the House of the Beast finally forced the party to retreat to the runic teleporter, where they escaped and returned to Lasserak's lair. Phew! You guys have accomplished a lot!

Since then we have traveled to Katapesh to have Ty raised and fought a giant worm and the last of the Gnolls who served the Carrion King. In that second battle Dumah died. In Katapesh we sold all our loot and Ty was raised from the dead, but Dumah's spirit chose not to come back.

Rumors are about that we have the scroll possibly spread by Zayifid(Qadir) and several parties are interested in acquiring it from us. We went to the Rayhan who confirmed that we did have the real Scroll of Kakishon. Heat is on us to sell it, even though we have made efforts to hide the fact we have the real scroll. Mahath joined the group.

Eli got a note signed by "T" who threatened to hurt Heleen, so we went to the meet, but it was a trick and when we returned to the villa Rayhan had been kidnapped and we suspect drow elves are involved.

We accused Tamir (one of the more seedy agents interested in the scroll) byt he was not involved (maybe) Quzman's tribe sent a messenger to bring him back for something important, and Mahath has found Rayhan's crystal ball. He was able to see the mage and Heleen (minus one finger) in a jail cell. Another note claimed that if we didn't follow "T"'s instructions from now on they would send more of Heleen in pieces.

At this time I believe Eli has the Scroll of Kakishon's case with a fake in it and Mahath is carrying the real scroll.

Does that about cover it? I put more notes from through out the thread in the spoilers under this profile.


I am going through the thread to remind myself what was going on and to update the notes in our record of events. Are we still currently in BOOK 2 of the AP or have we shifted to BOOK 3, just for helping keep the records straight?


Deducting funds from the group purse to cover the cost of Mahath's research.


Sounds good, I will change the group fund to cover Mahath's research as soon as I see the "bill". Be sure to get a least three estimates first though :)


25 GP deducted from the party fund


Quzman reaches Eli, but the bard rises in a confident manner, his grip on Tempest stronger than ever. And in a powerful but worried voice, he says "Mortals, can you not sense it? The magic of Kakishon....in such a place of evil! We must recover it at once!" Without looking back, he marches off toward the gap in the wall.

For everyone except Jameena:
The powerful James Earl Jones voice is very familiar and though you have not heard it in over a year, you immediately remember the last time you heard it: in battle with Kardswann!

****

With Quzman and Jameena in the lead, the party explores the rest of the room. Jameena does not sense any more evil, so that puts the party a little more at ease. To the north, there rests a single massive block of deep black stone upon a dais. Carvings on the sarcophagus and the surrounding wall depict the terrifying image of a nine-legged spider with a gaping maw.

Eli suddenly whispers in the now recognizable possessed voice, "The Scroll of Kakishon!" and rushes to open the sarcophagus but try as he might, he cannot lift it. He looks down at his body and says "What a weak form!" Eli regains his senses, as the spirit within him subsides.

****

Zayifid smiles, "Smart move, whore. But I've never wanted your deaths, just the Scroll of Kakishon. So run and hide, you are no threat to me, with your scimitar in my hand. But you, shell of Vardishal, will give it to me now or you will die!"

Vardishal deftly lashes out with his scimitar and on his second attempt, Tempest falls harmlessly out of Eli's hands to the floor!

****

This is what I found to refresh our memory of what has happened around the Scroll. I couldn't find anything where Dumah provided anymore information about it to us. Could you point that out or refresh our memories.


This treasure record is updated and correct.


Okay so recalculating the total after deducting the 1000 gp to pay for the last spell. Each member of the party, Including: Eli, Quzman, Jameena, Ty, and Dumah get 4797 GP, 6 SP, and 7 CP. The group fund is also increased by this amount.


780 GP removed from the party fund


New Loot added to the party treasure list

Eli will Detect Magic all the items taking 10 on Knowledge: arcana (18) and Spellcraft (17) to determine strength and aura, and properties if possible. Any items that that is not enough for I can make rolls for over for the next days of travel.


I have updated the treasure record and noted what all the new magic items are. We have some cool stuff like:

wand -- spiritual weapon CL 3 (20 charges) Can anyone use this?
+2 Greataxe of Defending -- Quzman, did you know you had this?
Amulet depicting a ram's head= Amulet of Health -- Dumah. We got this awhile ago and now know its power, is it best used on Dumah? (I couldn't find it on a quick search of the PRD so I am not exactly sure what it does.

Feel free to click on this profile and check to see if you agree with or have any questions about anything.


Would this be a good time to divvy out XP?

Also we should all deiced on how to spread this stuff out.

Off of Grudmoch, troglodyte preist
wand --
breast plate --
great axe--
In the time we traveled back would Eli or Dumah be able to identify these?

from the Gnoll Sarcophagus
Headband of Wisdom +4 given to Quzman
Mithril Chainmail (at least +2 enchantment) given to Eli For ease of updating my record sheet is this +2 or something different?
Magic greataxe is unknown at this time given to Quzman

off the Carrion King
Breastplate +1 (large)
+1 Greataxe of Human Bane
Amulet depicting a ram's head (magic unidentified) -- Dumah has
Gold Ring of Protection +1 -- Given to TY

off of Blobog, the goblin cleric:
Chain shirt +1 (small)
Wand of cure light wounds 32 charges -- Given to Eli
Cloak of Resistance +1 -- Given to Jameena
2 Kukris are masterwork quality but not magical

off of Ataraxia
Black Diamonds (1000gp value each) (5)
+ 1 Shocking Long spear --intend to sell; Quzman carrying
Ring of Resistance:Cold (minor) -- given to Jameena

Hadir
En-Nebi (magic dagger that is cursed w/ lycanthropy) --given to Dumah

We also have the +1 Leather I was wearing, but took off to wear the mithril chainmail. I believe we promised it to Jamenna so it could be traded or sold to get her better armor since I was getting the magic chain.

Anybody want any to the unclaimed items? What ever we don't want to keep we will need to sell to bring TY back. I hope there will be enough to cover it.


Added the troglodyte's items to the master list. They currently are up for grabs.


Adding the new Magic gear to the Inventory Lists


Dumah wrote:
Yes, two separate items. The ring is a +1 ring of protection, and the cloak is a +1 cloak of resistance. Sorry for any confusion.

Okay I'll fix the record, I think Jameena could use that well then.


Tyronel wrote:
Ty could use the ring of protection, if everyone else has one.

I am cool with that. I will mark it.


Updated the Treasure Record

Can anyone use any of this stuff? I'd like to repalce Eli's wand with the new one. The one I had was bought with group funds, so this also would before the entire group. Also I am in need of better armor, so if the small chain shirt will fit, I think I will need to suck up the AC penalty checks to improve my defense. That would give us a set of +1 leather that we could sell. I already have a Ring of Protection +2 so I can't use the ring or the cloak. Anyone able to use those?


Thanks, will correct.


Come to think of it...didn't we give it to Dumah? I think Eli had it then it was free to go to someone else after we got the +2 one. At any case it's a small ring so I don't see why he can't start wearing it now. Eli will just pull it out of his pack and Dumah can put it on. That is where it would be if no one else had taken it.


I am pretty sure that the ring +1 and the amulet of fists are just in our inventory not being used by anyone.


I'll mark it in the record that Quzman is carrying the spear for now.


Updated the treasure record with these new Items. Any suggestions on who will get the best use out of them?


Eli steps over the fallen snake being and rushes forward, turns and circles around to attack Onyx. "The Sand Stalkers will soon be called Rock Stompers, let's get him gang!"

Move to F7,G6, then H6

Eli is currently affected by haste, bull’s strength, Inspire Courage, Dodge, Combat Expertise
AC: 21 w/Dodge, Combat Expertise

Current hp: 30 / 35 max
Round 3 of Inspire Courage

Full Attack Roll w/Combat Expertise 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage Roll + Cold 1d8 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (4) = 8

Crit Check 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Crit Damage Roll 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Just a note, Eli doesn't "sing". I chose performance oratory so his bard "song" his his constant encouraging words.


Dumah wrote:
Dumah only has 295 gp. After buying the spell and putting it in his book, he only has 55 gp left. If I am going to scroll the spell, I'll need group funds toward it.

We agreed above that the group would pay the 240gp. I have already deducted it from the group funds.

What are you looking for in particular?[/ooc]
A scroll of protection from energy and/or a scroll of resist energy. And the ink for Dumah to write them into his spell book.

Dumah finds a young mage in town (Karash) visiting from Katapesh, who happily sells him a Resist Energy scroll. The mage is so happy to help out a Sand Stalker.

Spellcraft check DC 17: 1d20+12...success!

After two hours and buying the necessary supplies, Dumah copies the spell into his spellbook.

Total cost: 240 gp

Since this is for the benefit of the whole party for this specific quest, I think the cost should be paid by the Sand Stalkers from our general fund. Anyone disagree?


Tyronel wrote:
I only needed about 10 of the arrows, so just mark those off, if you don't mind.

Okay, I took ten off our total. We still have 146 arrows left.


Tyronel wrote:
While we are back to town, Ty needs to restock on arrows, getting back up to his usual 50. I'll subtract the gold to get him there.

You dont need to spend any coin, we have 156 arrows in stock that we have collected on our adventures. Let me know how many you need to take and I will adjust our treasure record.


Added to the party fund 34pp, 9gp, 9sp, & 8cp.


Eli takes the time to scribe into his Journal what he and Dumah discovered at the Great Library.

Here is the Alias I am going to use to keep the notes and party treasure in. Feel free to look at it anytime to see what we have found in the course of our adventures.
