OK, under the assumption that BT will proceed with the trait change he suggested, I have worked up what Lamsfel would look like as a Fusilier/Fighter.
I'll paste it into the character sheet once BT confirms his plans.
By the way, Shisumo, I'll stay with the campaign trait associated with Shalelu.
Re: Shopping
So far, I'm looking at:
masterwork chain shirt (250 gp)
sell chain shirt (-50 gp)
masterwork shortsword (310 gp)
masterwork shortsword (310 gp)
sell shortsword (-5 gp)
sell shortsword (-5 gp)
sell shortbow (-15 gp)
Costing 795 gp (assuming normal exchange rates) of my 1350 gp, so I have 555 gp left so far. I would not be averse to contributing to the caravan, but I'm sure there's more gear I should be buying, too.
OK, Tristan is coming together, and Disable Device fits nicely.
For my part, I'd want to buy:
Wand of Mage Armor: 750 gp
Scroll of Summon Eidolon: 200 gp
Scroll of Invisibility: 150 gp
Scroll of Spider Climb: 150 gpThen I'll have 300 gp left to contribute to the caravan, putting us at 315 gp.
DM Shisumo, can I procure these in the interim? If so I'll add 'em to my sheet.
Lamsfel, Fusilier/Fighter has been updated. Like mbauers, I have waited to add the new gear to his sheet, however.
You can assume you buy pretty much whatever you can afford during the interim. If Sandpoint doesn't have it, Magnimar will.
Ok, updated my gear. Everything is correct in my profile, I might just reformat it to make it a little easier to read.
Updated the swords and armor. Still perusing what to use the rest of the cash on. Open to ideas, actually.
Tanglefoot bags are invaluable, IMO
What's up, y'all? I'm the Loot Pile. Any time you find any loot, I'll post with this avatar, so we don't have to fish through the thread to find it.
What's up, y'all? I'm the Caravan! You can post my stats in this profile so we have a good place to keep them. I currently have 315 gp allotted to outfit me before your journey. Protect Ameiko!
:-)
Aiight, I'm down. We'll see how that works. I've got most of the caravan's initial stats (not counting whatever you guys choose to do to it before you set out) typed up - when the time comes for the actual caravan, I'll send them over to you so you can put them in the profile.
Have you decided if you're changing your trait yet? And if so, to whom? We should work it into the backstory either way.
That may be particularly relevant if you pick Ameiko, since I do want to make certain you have at least the tie of shared faith with her as a stronger link to the start of this chapter.
Ok, sounds good. Gan wants a pinstripe, flame decals, and a spoiler on his wagon. :-)
That's right, flames painted on the side totally make it go faster.
What the hell. Go big or go home, right? Childhood Crush (Ameiko) has been chosen.
Okay - last call for shopping and rebuild-tweaks, then. I'd like confirmation from everyone that they are ready to start the next part by Wednesday night if possible.
Since you ruled that I can be enlarged, I switched back to Skilled (UMD) instead of Reach (Claws).
Everything in my profile is now good to go, with the only exception of a probable formatting switch to make it easier to read.
I'm good to go.
Rather than dither about with buying equipment, I'm content with having a 700gp nest egg to spend before we leave Sandpoint. Let's get this thing on the road!
I'm with Callomeleth. I have cash for the caravan preparations. Good enough for me.
Ready! Cash poor, though.
Well, hello! What's this?
Ameiko: +6 (Friendship, and you get 400 XP)
Koya: +2 (Association)
Sandru: +2 (Association)
Shalelu: +2 (Association)
Also, you know that Ameiko's taste for a good adventure yarn is rooted in bother her appreciation for a well-told tale and her devotion to Shelyn as the goddess of art, meaning that if you wanted to earn her favor, a rollicking story of derring-do would be a good place to start.
I will have sporadic access starting tomorrow (8/15) until next Monday (8/20) as I will be at GenCon Indy. I'll try to check in, but my schedule will be very busy, so I'm not sure how well that will work.
I'll see you all soon!
Just back from GenCon last night waaaaay late. Probably going to be a day or so before the thread gets going again.
Or, alternatively, perhaps I'm just an idiot and the forum software CAN DO IT ALREADY.
...
Which is to say, "Hey! Look! I got the campaign hooked up to the old campaign thread!"
1.5 rounds in, and two heroes have been dropped to 0 or less by this thing. Are we going to just move on to Shattered Star once this thing kills us all and starts wearing our faces? ;)
Likewise, the computer issues I thought were resolved earlier this summer have returned with a vengeance, to the point that I am posting this from my cell phone. I will update as soon as I can, but I fear we are going to be taking another hiatus until I get things sorted out again.
Damnable gremlins!
Yeah. Apparently this time I might not even get the old laptop back - Best Buy may be buying me an entirely new one...
Can you specify getting one that is not, in fact, possessed?
Just checking in to note that my laptop is still likely at least a week away. *sigh* I promise I'll be back as soon as I can...
No worries, man, we'll be here when you get back.
:-)
Well, I did post you a spoiler to read in the main thread last week, Gan. So that might help to tide you over...
Crap, it did it again! It didn't tell me on my profile that there was a new post, so I missed all of those. Sorry about that.
Woohoo! Laptop back and functioning! Look for a "getting things moving" post later today!
Nice!
Great to hear it, DM!

As far as writing deadlines go, I might or might not have mentioned in the past that I am a Campaign Administrator for Heroes of Rokugan, a living-style Legend of the Five Rings campaign. I am more-or-less the head writer, and of the 35ish or so modules we're released for HoR III, about a third have been mine or mostly mine. One of those was due for completion before that con I mentioned, and I just about ran the clock out on it. I got it finished in time, however.
As for actual, real, get-paid-money-for-this RPG work, nothing yet. But if things go well, I might have some cool news in that regard in the next month or two...
Cool - I was not aware of that, no. I knew you were involved in some of that. Good luck on that other possible news. I would love to try, but I know my time commitments and personal organizational skills would kill any such project for me.
I have received a gift horse and, rather than looking it in the mouth, I'm going to go for a ride. I will be far from home and computer for the next ten days or so. Please bot Lamsfel in my absence.
Talk to you soon!
Sounds awesome, Lamsfel, enjoy!

The gift horse in question was a ticket to a Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Magic. We had several days at sea and stopped at Montego Bay (Jamaica), Georgetown (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands), and Cozumel (Mexico). We got to snorkel out to a shipwreck and hike to (and climb up!) a Mayan pyramid.
I know some of you are much more traveled than I am, so this might not sound like a big deal for you, but this was an absolutely amazing experience for someone that had never even been to the seashore. It's going to be very hard to return to reality...
Glad you had a good time! I've been on a similar cruise myself. You didn't go to Tulum, by any chance? That was the Mayan ruin I got to explore.
And to segue into my announcement, I'm getting to go on a trip for a few days. I'm not sure how much internet I'll have, so if my postings dwindle, just bot me or assume Tybus is in brooding silence.
Heh, it was not my intent, no, but I would go back in a heartbeat. I'm trying to seriously figure out how to get some family members to join on a future cruise.
Tulum was a strong contender, but we went farther inland to Coba because we wanted to climb the pyramid if they would really let us - and they did!
As it turns out, we could have paid extra for internet, but I'm kind of glad that I left the computer at home. No phone, no computer, no possibility of me trying to contact work or vice versa... I needed that.
Hey guys, just wanted to say that it wasn't my intent to have Gan sabotage your plans. I just felt that he'd see it more as a serious situation and wouldn't want to sugarcoat anything, you know?
Heh, I thought about Lamsfel turning to him and saying, "You were never good at keeping secrets as a child, were you?" as a tease.
It is absolutely all good.
