What do you two think of going with all gnomes or all dwarves? I like those kinds of games.

Sure, sounds fun.
New characters is fine with me.
Would we be sticking with these characters, or making new ones?
What he said. ^
We've all come this far.
Nope. Not for months. The tree of us are definitely the die-hards. I'd be happy to continue a game with these characters, or new ones. A dedicated group is the most important thing to the success of a game, and we definitely have that.
That's fair. Unfortunate place to end the game. Oh well, it was fun. If you decide to run another one, or pick up another version of this one, let me know.
Checking in Are we going to push on?
"Someone silence that screaming!" Garret said, as black and white spiral aura began to emirate and swirl out from him and the runes on his axe began to glow. He pulled his hood up over his head.
We didn't mean to skip things. Its hard to figure out where we've been and where we haven't without a map.
Looks like we've probably lost Ferrek. Can we push on without him please?
Garret sighed at the fact that they were once again subjecting a summoned creature to a likely painful experience, and then nodded. "Do it."
"Wonder how many times it can do that before it runs out of breath." Garret said with an arched eyebrow. "Can you do that again?" he asked Aviel.
Sigh. Alright.
Nothing kills momentum quite like paranoia
"So do you casters have any tricks up your sleeves."
"This is definitely a trap." Garret said dryly, not moving into the vault.
We still going?
Garret nods and gives the door a solid pull.
Garret lets out a held breath. He shook his head at the Agathion's fate. The fact that it was not actually dead was little solace to him. He was fairly certain that it still felt what had just happened to it. "Lets see if we can figure this out, Ferrek." He took a good look at the door to try to suss out how dangerous it was.
Garret shrugs. "Doubtful, but there's no reason not to try it."
"Go figure." Garret muttered at the secondary lock, still scanning in case the banshee came back.
Garret was quiet and watchful as the others went about checking the keyhole. He knew the banshee could hide in the walls or beneath the floor. He was not willing to believe it was simply gone.
Wait. The gameplay thread is updated? I haven't gotten any notices! Sorry! I'll jump in when I get home and sort out our final purchase list tonight. Let's get the ball rolling again!
Nooooo!
Do you have a masterwork backpack?
Having encumbrance issues?
Good call. I think shopping has lasted long enough. I'll compile the finished list in the next couple days and we can get back to the fun stuff.
So, any thoughts or requests?
We don't tend to rememorize all that often. We can make it work.
Might be cheaper to invest in some Incense of Meditation. For the cost of a rod of maximize we could have a few days of having all your spells maximized when you memorize them.
O.o O.O Aaaaaaaugh!!!! THAT WHOLE FIGHT SHOULD HAVE GONE DIFFERENTLY!!! I have never botched up a fight that badly in my entire life. I guess I'll just pretend that I'm taking that oath as of now, since I've been ignoring it for the entire game so far.
Ok, I think that is a long enough wait. I'm going to assume that everyone is good with the lists I've made and work on spending that party cash. Things that we absolutely can't do without- Ghost Touch armor for Garret. (15,000) +10 UMD widget for Ferrek. (10,000) Things that would be useful Sash of the War Champion. for Garret (4,000) (I could sell my mithril armor and recoup some cash if I had this) Ring of Invisibility for Ferrek (10,000) Wand of Firey Shuriken for Ferrek (4,500) (allows for two touch attacks per charge, each of which can let Ferrek sneak attack) Wand of Acid Arrow (4500) (for Ferrek to use against things that are resistant to fire) Scrolls of Fiery Shuriken cast at 9th level (450 gp each) (creates 5 shrunken, all of which can be launched on casting, each requiring a separate attack roll, which means all can be used to sneak attack with. great for when Ferrek needs to go nova) Please make any item requests for your character now. I'll give everyone a few days and then work out a final purchase list.
Alright, let's just have everyone add the things I've layed out for them to their sheet. If there's anything on the sale list that anyone wants, please speak up soon. I want to get moving past the bean counting and back to the dungeon.
Anyone have any issue with my proposed gear distribution? If not, I think we should move on to additional gear purchases.
I'm not sure where the reach rods went. I made my list from the one the GM posted earlier. GM, care to comment?
The staff of dark flame is really valuable, mostly because of the animate dead ability , which we won't ever use. If you want a wand/staff of fireballs or something like that, we can get one. It will still be better to sell the staff and buy a staff that has abilities that are all useful to us. Unless, of course, you are planning on dabbling in some amateur necromancy.
Sale Items Monk's Robe (6,500 gp)
Total party cash: 61,383
Ok, here's my proposed breakdown of items: Aviel:
Ferrek:
Garret:
Shadassa:
Holly:
Ok, so here's our gear list. My plan, in the interests of saving time, is to take the list and compare everyone's sheets. I'll be looking to use the items we have to shore up weaknesses or upgrade equipment people already have. Then I'll post this list again with my recommendations, organized by character. If you are interested in a particular item, let me know. What doesn't get doled out ail be sold for the next wave of gear upgrades. I'll have the recommendation list up in a few hours.
Remaining gear: a belt of giant strength +2
a monk's robe
1st-level pearl of power
wands of:
the staff of dark flame. 1500gp in diamond/granite dust an everburning torch,
Lots of mundane gear
Sold for Res costs:
Garret had been worried about Aviel's silence at this point. Aviel had always been the sort to take terrible things in stride, approaching the unholy with the same clinical detachment as a doctor attempting to treat some sort of horrific disease. The uncharacteristic silence since returning from Pharasma's embrace had made Garret concerned that his cousin had finally faced something that had damaged his ability to cope. For a while the old Aviel had been gone. Then suddenly like a flipped switch, Aviel was fully with them again. "Welcome back." Garret said with a rare smile.
I know. We'll want to get her some stuff too, but Holly is fully combat effective when her eidolon is up. Ferrek doesn't have that luxury. Out of combat he's our most valuable asset. In combat he's our weak link. We need to give him solid combat options. UMD is the best way to do that.
It will cost us 10,000 gp to get you an item that grants +10 to UMD. That will pretty much let you use whatever you want.
"For myself, armor that will protect against spirits." "For Ferrek, and good list of tricks and tools to give him effective options in a fight." "It depends mostly on how much money we end up with." |
