Thanks. I vaguely remembered you paying that back, but I couldn't find the post. And the note I had in my CRS was sitting there, taunting me.
I've now cleared that up.

Kalimac is donating 200 gp to the Liothonae Cromvathar Society of Protecting Our Collective Butts With Glyphs of Warding.
OK, so first -- two musk oxen have been purchased. Everyone please subtract off another 6.9 gp for that.
Done.
And I'm sure you're aware, but you will of course need to attempt to arrange to get the Air Walk spells cast In Character at some point, since it isn't you who will be casting it.
I think that if this were an option we could have used against the attorneys involved everyone on our jury would have been on board.
Two men enter, one man leaves. Bust a deal, face the wheel. All good laws can be chanted.
Good point; I forgot that scouts can be put to Security use without giving up their zero proper consumption. So essentially adding a +2 to Security costs us 1 Goodberry and 1 Create Food and Water. As long as we can afford the loss of spell slots, we should raise the stats as high as we can. Security seems like a particularly good thing to be good at. The typical DCs are 10 + the CL of the encounter, so we're looking at ~17+ here.
Just to clarify explicitly -- are you saying you are volunteering Hrunndalf to cast two Create Food and Drinks rather than one if by doing so it would increase Caravan Security?
...not that rereading the Caravan rules has made me a bit nervous about Unrest (and a variety of other things), but -- well....
On the theory that consumption can be fixed with magic, but caravan repairs cannot, I am offering up to the 2500 gp that Rhost had set aside for a Ring to the Caravan fund for reinforcement and repair materials.
And I will spoiler Liothonae once we determine what percentage (up to all) of that is necessary.
Minor change -- since it looks like some reinforcements are likely, which changes the "25%" Unrest-giving hit point mark, I will change the "RUN AWAY!" point from a flat 100 hit points to "40% of total". It's the same intent without screwing you over when your Caravan hit points go up.
Yes, I'm fine with sacrificing two 3rd-level slots for the caravan.
As for expenses:
I'll talk to Mel about borrowing Suishen. Suishen is its own caster, right? Not just a glorified scroll?
How many slots are still needed from me?
Yes, I'm fine with sacrificing two 3rd-level slots for the caravan.
Okay that changes our Security to +11 and consumption to -1.
I have -
Alaric: 2 Create Food and Drink
Hrunndalf: 2 Create Food and Drink, 1 Endure Elements
Lio: 2 goodberry
Okay that changes our Security to +11 and consumption to -1.
And I know at least a couple of people are buying Rings of Sustenance, so Security will probably be realistically upped to +12 or +13 with that spell set.
So, as I have mentioned, Boots of the Winterlands can count as level 7 gifts (but not insults) for you. I will do the rolls tomorrow. Just wanted to ask if anyone wanted those NOT to be their level 7 gifts for any particular sig NPC (if, for example, you had something else planned that you didn't want to leave until level 8.) If so, feel free to spoiler that information to me.
Glad to hear it's mostly Mel being angry, rather than you. Always hard to tell.
I realize I'm not being very chatty with Mel, or most of the other NPCs as a matter of fact. Frankly, even my current level of involvement is eating up prodigious amount of my free time (and some of my work time). My posts also probably take me more time to write than their brevity would suggest, since English is my third language, and if I let unintended nuances slip into my prose, I'm likely to get pounced upon by someone enraged. ;o)
We should definitely resolve that in-character at some point, though. I'm glad I did so with Lio and Ameiko.
I know that you don't get to post very often, ooc, but ic it does seem like the only people Hrunndalf ever tries to talk to are the NPCs :).
And can I say, English is your third language? You write it much better than many of the kids (college kids) whose papers I corrected at UH :).
And so you don't panic OOC, I'm pretty sure Mel will ask Suishen to cast Air Walk (unless something unforseen happens like a kidnapping) but she needs to cool down. Because she doesn't want to say yes or no right now, since she is very aware that she isn't thinking straight right now.
IC, you are free to let Hrunndalf panic or not :).
So, am I the only one who thinks of Uksahkka as Anni from the movie "Kukushka"? She's the only Sámi I know.
So please read that before you get freaked out OOC by Mel's last IC post.
Also, I can't quite see how it would be beneficial for Mel if Hrunndalf had to tell Ameiko, "Sorry, we can't go after all, Mel's hogging the spells." ;)
Well, there's always the backup plan to pay for two castings of Fly from a professional wizard, and take an aerial tour of the city. For the record, my first idea was to go whale-watching, Golarion style (i.e. with Water Breathing, Slipstream, fins, and Speak with Animals to have a chat with a resident whale sage). Turns out it's not whale season anymore this late in the year. :\ (Kudos to Ry for doing the research on that!)
I'm cheating a bit: Though English is my third language in chronological order, my French is so rusty it's not even funny. In contrast, I'm using English daily at work, in spoken and written form. Then again, maybe my native language should count as 1.5 languages, since it comprises Schwiizertüütsch (Swiss German) and High German, which differ quite substantially. ;)
And yes, I should definitely be going to bed. Damn this immersive game! ;)
One, absolutely. Most likely two. Precise number when I find out how much of my cash stash is required to beef up the Caravan.
Boots, Caravan Upgrade, Phylactery, NPC Hiring, and Musk Oxen shares all paid. The character sheet creeps forward, but is still not yet done.

me too. all paid up, not leveled yet.
have not finished purchasing some stuff, but all the group obligations are taken into account.I would like to set aside 1000gp for spell components for reincarnation.
Some possibly dumb questions:
Should I purchase additional spell component pouches, set aside cash, or go though each of my spells and see what components they require for this trip to have the supplies I need to cast spells, or how does acquiring spell components work?
Edit: I forgot to purchase the winter survival kit, going to add that to my sheet.
Donating 200 GP to Lio for glyphs.
Kalimac is donating 200 gp to the Liothonae Cromvathar Society of Protecting Our Collective Butts With Glyphs of Warding.
if you think there's a druid spell you think would be a good fit for the glyph, please let me know. happy to take requests. :)
As a side note, if you want a 4th lvl or lower Druid spell put on a scroll for you during the course of game, Lio is happy write a scroll at cost if she is asked, and she can use the scroll on you, at your request, in character, if you do not have use magic device.
I know that you don't get to post very often, ooc, but ic it does seem like the only people Hrunndalf ever tries to talk to are the NPCs :).
I see what you mean. I suppose if I only have limited time to develop relationships, it's better to do it properly with few characters than badly with everyone. Hrunndalf's overarching story quest is to woo Ameiko, so that's where I'm focusing my attention.
Remember, the NPCs are not played by "the computer". Ry is no less of a real person than you guys are, and incidentally the only one in this group that I know as a person. :P
By the way, Hrunndalf could really use an answer soon... :P
Total cost of 5 Wagon reinforcements + 7 Repair Materials: 2675 gp
Flat donations from characters thus far: 700 gp
Variable donations: Up to 2500 gp from Rhost until total cost is met
Additional donations: One character wishes to make purchases first before deciding
So, for the moment, assume that:
1) all reinforcements and repair materials are purchased
2) Rhost, for the moment, assume you have spent no more than 1975 gp. When the final character makes a decision, whatever amount gets contributed then will be subtracted from that total.
In addition, 3 Rings of Sustenance are now confirmed as being purchased by various characters, which I think is going to end up being the total number. So you can assume a -3 on Consumption when doing calculations.
Alaric: 200 gp
Rhost: 200-400 gp
Melinda: 100 gp
Hi guys! And not to exclude anyone, but I guess primarily to the US contingent. Happy Thanksgiving! Kyra, thank you again for running. And the rest of you for helping make this game so much fun. Myri says she loves all you guys.

I'd like to echo that. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And thanks to everyone for an excellent gaming experience.
Happy Thanksgiving! And Back to the Future's on! Everything's coming up Milhouse!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm a slacker who needs only make mashed potatoes by dinner time :).
Since I am in foreign lands, I will go by their customs and say, happy 60th anniversary of the publication of Stanislaw Lem's first novel, everyone!
Christian, it’s absolutely fine for you to play the game however you want to, and if you want to use your limited time primarily interacting with NPCs, that is absolutely your right. And I don’t want you to get any flack for that whatsoever ooc.
In game, however, I do think it is fair for other CHARACTERS to react to how they perceive your CHARACTER as acting. If Hrunndalf chooses to spend time getting Ulf and Uksahkka’s life story, but has never tried to do the same with say, Myriana or Alaric, then it’s reasonable for other characters to react to your choices however they would, and the same for any choices Hrunndalf has made during combat, on missions, etc.
I just want to make sure there is a bold bright line between player and character. I am strongly of the belief that no one should feel they are being penalized for having limited time to play. So I am comfortable with “other characters notice Hrunndalf is talking to Ulf and Uksahkka but not to them and wonder why”, which I think is a relevant issue, but not with, “other players think Christian isn’t participating enough”, which I think is not. Seem fair all around?

well, there is Erntedankfest, but it's not really celebrated like Thanksgiving.
Frankly, I mostly just asked Ulf and Uksahkka because everybody else already had plans within their cliques. Alaric later posted an open shopping tour that I could have joined, but by then I had already committed to the U&U plans (which, by the way, I found quite interesting in its own).
It's true that I haven't asked other PCs about their stories much. I certainly know them better than I do U&U, though. I did read their character descriptions and assumed that was going to be common knowledge once the caravan was underway. But I can try to get more conversations started when we make our long trek, I suppose, but if anything, I'm going to have less time on my hands in the coming months.
In other news, wow, this hiking trip thing certainly got out of hand. :\ I remember when RPGs offered the soothing escapism of a simpler life...
Should I purchase additional spell component pouches, set aside cash, or go though each of my spells and see what components they require for this trip to have the supplies I need to cast spells, or how does acquiring spell components work?
Anything with components that don't have a price listed, have one spell component pouch and never worry about it again.
Anything with components that have a price listed, you need to explicitly buy or have the materials listed to cast the spell.

Money for three glyphs. Call lightning, mad monkeys, and ... ?
Out of sheer bloody-minded curiosity (and because I keep thinking of it when I am AFK and forgetting it) -- is the woman who was involved in the (fog-based) kidnapping of one of the NPCs someone that we have killed yet?
