No worries. As I said, it's a useful language to have. I just wanted to make sure you weren't picking it up due to a false assumption.
I wouldn't mind picking up Halfling in the near future. It's so... happy. Bubbly. The cream soda among languages.
I know. All those tildas and umlauts make a very friendly look, don't they?
Hrunndalf pre-emptively claims one of the natural armor amulets. :)
4 amulets of natural armor +1 (4,000 gp)
3 arcane scrolls of magic circle against evil, caster level 5th (562.5 gp)
A vial of powdered silver good for three castings of a magic circle spell (60 gp)
4 Masterwork spears (604 gp)
17 gold armrings (850 gp)
50 amethysts (3,000 gp)
3 jade raven statuettes (300 gp)
A cask of sake (200 gp)
A cask of sake (200 gp)
Claim, please. But will automatically cede if someone else wants it.
Kalimac claims a handful of the amethysts (call it 10 of them); and the cask of sake.
4 amulets of natural armor +1 (4,000 gp)
And one of the Amulets of Natural Armor +1; I'm more interested in these not getting sold than I am in Kalimac wearing it. So if anyone wants it and has a worse AC than Kalimac, I'd want them to have it, regardless of Claimed Loot Value.
But if no one else wants it, I'm not going to turn up my nose at +1 AC.
Mel does not turn up her nose at the +1 armor... she just already has an amulet...
Melinda is the only character easily capable of casting those arcane scrolls. If you wish to take Hrunndalf's suggestion and have it cast upon you, please claim a scroll (and 20 gp worth of powdered silver) with the note that you wish it used immediately, and Melinda has indicated she will cast it.
Among other effects, the spell provides a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves in a 10' radius around whoever it is cast upon, although both these bonuses apply only against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures.
It is currently useless to cast the spell on Hrunndalf, and Alaric is already receiving similar benefits from Helgarval.
I will put in a claim on one of those Amulets of Natural Armor.
And one amethyst.
An amulet in sake. *sniff* ;)
no claims.

Where is that figure of 20 gp from? The PFSRD just mentions "powdered silver" as a material component, without a price tag (which usually means the price is insignificant).

From the module.
You may therefore assume that these scrolls are an unusual version of the spell that requires 20 gp worth of powdered silver.
Magic Circle against evil isn't stationary though right?
Range: touch
Area: 10-ft.-radius emanation from touched creature
Sounds like it travels to me.
(More specifically, I think the "protective" version travels and the "binding" version is stationary.)
k. ty.
An amulet in sake. *sniff* ;)
no claims.
Absolutely. Right now Kalimac's AC is an embarrassment of riches. His base AC is 24. Others need Natural Armor far more than he does.
Given that Kalimac is planning to get right up in the ogre's face, I think he'll also go for the magic circle scroll & 20gp worth of powdered silver to be cast immediately.
unless Lio requests that final one, Rhost will claim the last "magic circle scroll 187.5gp w/ 20gp silver" to be cast immediately

it sounds kinda cool and really useful, but you tend to be in the front more. so go ahead :)
Keep in mind that the Circle is an area effect. A 10 foot radius circle each around Kalimac, Rhost and Myri. That gives us three big areas.
Myri tends to stay back with ranged attacks. Lio is often in that same area, so gets the benefits.
Rhost is usually on the front line. So even if he didn't have his own Magic Circle, Hrunndalf would be covered. And Mel is often up front, so she gets covered.
Kalimac and Attatoq, with their charge attacks, range all over.
With these centers, we really have the entire party covered.
I have jury duty tomorrow, so my ability to post may be spotty at best. I'll post if I can, but I may not be on till tomorrow evening. Just FYI, in case anyone is waiting for a response from me.

If you have a chance to post but have limited time, if you just post a general combat intention, I can do dice rolls etc. for you if you like, as there are special circumstances today.

I got my round 1 actions in. I have no WiFi, so I'm posting on my phone today.
I won't be chatty today, but I'll post as I'm able.
Some thoughts looking forward:
1) I will end this module/declare you leveled to seventh/move on to the next IC board as soon as you guys return to Kalsgard. So, any final tasks you elect to undertake in Ravenscraeg (exploring any unexplored areas, dealing with the Hellwasp swarm in any way, what have you) will still be done while you are at 6th level.
2) The next module will start with a few final days in Kalsgard ("long enough to get done what you wish to do", to give a precise number), then you will depart for the icy north.
3) Since the "game-time" length of the third module is much longer (the scale will be months rather than weeks), I will post travel updates as week 1, week 2, etc., rather than day 1, day 2, etc., but of course significant events will interrupt this progression, just as they did for the day-by-day journeys.
4) You will not immediately leave civilization completely upon departing Kalsgard. The way north through the Linnorn Kingdoms is dotted with little trading towns that exists to support the trade route, ending at the slightly larger fortified town of Turvik, the northernmost outpost of civilization in the Thanelands. After Turvik, villages will be much fewer and farther between. It'll take you a couple of weeks to get to Turvik, and then a couple of more weeks after that to actually get out of the continent of Avistan proper and reach the Crown of the World.
5) In terms of Boots of the Winterlands, I think what I am going to go with is: these can be purchased in Kalsgard for 3/4 price (1875 gp apiece) as long as at least half of all such boots purchased are given to NPCs. To keep things from turning into a turf war, I will rule that any PC who buys at least one pair for *any* NPC will automatically count as "having gone in on" any boots presented as a gift to any and all significant NPCs. (Obviously, though, they can count as gifts but not insults). The flyers (Spivey and Zaiobe) will consider themselves not to need them, and animals cannot wear them.
You can, of course, decide whether you want to pool money for this, or simply make individual purchases and see how it comes out.

In further news, I have actually been selected for a jury. So my posting will be basically nil during the day and I'll catch up in the evenings. Basically I'm on a Lio pattern for the next several days.
I hope you have a fun jury duty. :)
It sounds like an interesting case. If anyone's interested, I'll talk about it when I'm able (in a week).

How did you manage that? I've been called three times to jury duty, and never selected. Never even called to a courtroom for voir dire.
In other news, I think we need a better marching order.

Keine Ahnung. Lucky I guess. But I've been called five times, this is my first time actually on a jury.

No $#!+.
On that note (which I was going to bring up in character) does attatoq have free trick space?
Cause... I need to check with Ry on something, but if Ry says yes... I have an idea that Kalimac and Attatoq will either love or hate.
And Mel's suggested marching order will be:
Kalimac & Attatoq... (cause you can't charge from any other space)
Mel or Hrunndalf (as both have slightly reach attacks)
Myri or Lio
Alaric
Myri or Lio
Mel or Hrunndalf
Rhost
That way we have some AC or hit points on the outside too.

Shouldn't we have the people in the front who can detect traps and have a high Perception? Lio and Myri are good candidates for high perception. Myri isn't that squishy. Rhost is excellently Perceptive and super tough too, why would he be in the back?
It was just a suggestion. Sorry.
It was just a suggestion. Sorry.
I wasn't yelling at you, I was just asking why we don't put someone with really high perception in the front.
The order I suggested was based on combat encounters, rather than trapfinding or searching.
And it was mostly because when we trap Kalimac in the middle or back he loses a bunch of his combat utility, and I didn't want to do that to him again. (Since while Rhost can move through allies, Kalimac can't charge through allies.)
Edit: And I apologize for the defensive-ness.
I was just asking why we don't put someone with really high perception in the front.
It seems to me that the way Kyrademon runs his dungeon crawl, this isn't as important as in a regular game. We get a series of rolls and a series of rooms, and we stop when we hit an encounter. Which is typically either a conversation (and the order doesn't matter so much) or a combat (when it does).
Unless I am completely misunderstanding how he is running the Dungeon Crawl mode, in which case Whoops.
Keine Ahnung. Lucky I guess. But I've been called five times, this is my first time actually on a jury.
They call me all the time, but since I can honestly answer "none" to the question "How many days of jury duty does your job pay for?" they have mercy.
While Kalimac doesn't have trap-finding skillz, he does have a pretty high Perception (Keen Halfling Senses, doncha know?). So does Attatoq. Both are at +8. Attatoq is +16 if it's Scent based.
So having them up front isn't a bad call.
Woot for sharp-eyed halfling.
How is Attatoq's survival for tracking? (I think there is a scent bonus on that too... but am really not sure.)

That's not even a question they ask here in AZ. They'll try to accommodate hardship, but they don't guarantee anything.
Having done jury duty in both CA and AZ, I prefer the system we have in AZ. One Day/One Trial. If you don't get on a jury on the day the call you, you're done. I remember having a two-week stint of jury duty in San Diego one year, and having to call in every day to see if I was needed the next morning. That sucked out loud.

You're probably right, but I just don't like the idea of not having someone perceptive in the front.
Maybe we can put Rhost and Kalimac there, so there's perception and so that Kalimac and be most effective. And so, to use Mel's suggestion that we have high AC/hitpoints on the outside, ask Hrunndalf to stay in the back, so he can guard us from being attacked there? What do the rest of you guys think?
Woot for sharp-eyed halfling.
How is Attatoq's survival for tracking? (I think there is a scent bonus on that too... but am really not sure.)
He's only got the one rank, so it's +5, with a +4 scent bonus for +9. Once I've got him all the skills I want him to have, then I'll up the existing skills. But he gets one skill point at a time, and not every level. So it's slow going.
