WR Rise of the Runelords

Game Master wicked_raygun

I'll be taking my 5th level of bard. And I'm seriously considering going arcane archer. But that won't be for a few levels yet. But in the meanwhile, I have decided to switch to a shortbow. I wish I could buy the +1 shortbow in the town, but I'm 800 gold short of that. And I don't want to bankrupt myself.

So in the meanwhile, I'll just buy a masterwork shortbow for now. I'll hold onto my +1 crossbow in case we run into anything that has magic DR. I haven't seen any notes on whether or not a light crossbow would fit in an Efficient Quiver--I know the item specifies bows, but wizards have been stuffing those things with wands and rods for years and no one bats an eye. And it's a small crossbow anyways, so I'm just gonna make a call and say it's okay.

If anyone thinks that's a little too munchkiny though, I'm happy to hear the argument against.

Not much else changes for my character. I will be grabbing Invisibility as my new 2nd level spell.

Collapsible crossbow seems perfectly legitimate to me, especially because A Wizard Did It.

Well, let's see, here:

3rd level spells: 3 spells * 3 hours = 9 hours
2nd level spells: 1 spell * 2 hours = 2 hours
1st level spells: 3 spells * 1 hour = 3 hours

That's a total of 14 hours. Okay, yeah that's a bit much for a single night. Plus I have to imagine the hand cramps would be brutal. So how about instead we just say that Amaya learns either all the 3rd level spells, or all the 1st and 2nd level spells. She can add the rest on another night.

Or she can pick and choose individually if she prefers.

Huh, I didn't think I could learn the third level spells since I'm not yet capable of casting them? That's where I got 5 hours from instead of 14. I'll save the 3rd Level ones for later in any case - learning them now doesn't exactly do me much good.

I'll be taking my 5th level of bard. And I'm seriously considering going arcane archer. But that won't be for a few levels yet. But in the meanwhile, I have decided to switch to a shortbow. I wish I could buy the +1 shortbow in the town, but I'm 800 gold short of that. And I don't want to bankrupt myself.

Beromr has 833 gold on his sheet. He will gladly loan those out to Bruin so he can get a magic shortbow.

Oh, I don't have a CLW wand on my sheet, so I don't think it went to me. But if we're covered I'll not worry about it.

I'll take one of the potions of CLW and the CMW. Like as not I'll be the one pouring it down someone's throat. :)

Assuming we're cool to sell the rest of it, everyone please note, we each get 521gp in gold. I'm not buying anything so I have 800gp to loan out of anyone wants it.

Oh, Serolt did you have the wand of identify marked as sold? I meant to claim that.

Edit: Oh, and Serolt, be sure to add the extra CLW wand to your gear. You're the only other potential healer besides me.

And it turns out that with the additional gold I was able to afford the +1 shortbow on my own. So, Serolt, don't worry about the wand of identify. I'd rather have the weapon.

Oh shoot - my bad, sorry about the wand confusion. I read your post, and forgot it right away. :( I'll be more careful in the future.

I'm adding the CLW wand to my sheet now. Thanks.

It's not much, but you can add Mruf's extra MW thieves' tools to the sold pile for a few extra coins.

I have 4 holy waters and 4 alchemist fires. I don't think we need to buy any with party funds, unless someone specifically wants a couple.

Oh, okay. Man, Bruin is loaded for bear, haha!

Sorry for my delay. It's been a busy week.

Been busy prepping for Hurricane Irma which is hitting Puerto Rico today. Will likely be silent for a few days at least.

Be safe!! Good luck weathering the storm.

Best of Luck!

Sorry for being incommunicado for so long. And thanks for bearing with me. I'll have time to put up the map tonight so we can keep going. September has been an aggressively weird month for me.

Serolt, I just realized that I don't actually now Regin's gender. I wanted to assume male, but I wasn't sure.

Regin is male. :) I forget sometimes too, so no harm if a 'she' slips in there sometimes. :)

Well, I survived. I'm back at work. And at home I currently have neither water nor power, but considering everything else going on in Puerto Rico, I'm feeling lucky. My two air conditioners are probably damaged--I won't know for sure until electricity comes back, which could be a couple weeks or more. But aside from that we didn't get any flooding to our home or any major property loss. Like I said, we were very lucky.

I'll be getting back into my games slowly for the time being.

Glad you made it through! I hope the rebuilding process isn't as painful as I've been reading. Sounds like you were really hammered.

Phew...

Ray! I am so happy to hear that you're doing alright. And let me apologise for how useless the American government is being with any assistance. It's truly embarrassing.

Thanks for the well-wishes. And yeah the federal government's response has been--let's just say less than hoped for, since I'd rather not tread politics in this forum. :-)
