In the group?  Nobody right now.  The dwarves are your best customers.

Tobe wears light armor. Probably nothing Klale could manufacture unless it were a chain shirt or something similar. Mithril perhaps? :)

Ryland wears a chain shirt

If mithril or adamantine is available...?

Perhaps possible with 5k$ light and medium.

SRD:Mithral
This material is published under the OGL
Mithral

Mithral is a very rare silvery, glistening metal that is lighter than iron but just as hard. When worked like steel, it becomes a wonderful material from which to create armor and is occasionally used for other items as well. Most mithral armors are one category lighter than normal for purposes of movement and other limitations. Heavy armors are treated as medium, and medium armors are treated as light, but light armors are still treated as light. Spell failure chances for armors and shields made from mithral are decreased by 10%, maximum Dexterity bonus is increased by 2, and armor check penalties are lessened by 3 (to a minimum of 0).

An item made from mithral weighs half as much as the same item made from other metals. In the case of weapons, this lighter weight does not change a weapon’s size category or the ease with which it can be wielded (whether it is light, one-handed, or two-handed). Items not primarily of metal are not meaningfully affected by being partially made of mithral. (A longsword can be a mithral weapon, while a scythe cannot be.)

Weapons or armors fashioned from mithral are always masterwork items as well; the masterwork cost is included in the prices given below.

Mithral has 30 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 15.
Type of Mithral Item Item Cost Modifier
Light armor +1,000 gp
Medium armor +4,000 gp
Heavy armor +9,000 gp
Shield +1,000 gp
Other items +500 gp/lb.

The Gonhirrim will trade you enough Mithril to make a medium suit of armor - up to and including a breastplate - for the glyphs.

thas fancy

Or perhaps 2 mithril chain shirts? :big grin:

Yes.  Easily enough for two chain shirts.

Happy new year, folks.  See you next year.

Don't feel up to it today. Catch-up post tomorrow, I hope.

No worries.  Feel better.

In reply to Klale's post.

The base stats for a mithril chain shirt according to some of the open source material.

It should look something like:
AC   Dex  Check  Fail   Speed       Weight
4     6    -0     10%  30/20 ft.   10 lb.

So anything extra from the glyphs would add on to those numbers, I believe.

This planning session and next actions are in y'all's court.  I have no NPC here to drive anything.

I'm unsure how to proceed. It seems the dwarves are readying for war, but they have given no details. If the baddie dragons or such are readying bad stuff, what are the goodie dragons doing/thinking?

Okay, so infodump time.

There are roughly three hundred dwarves here in the Heath helping the dragons gear up for a fight with the evil dragons.  As it stands, the non-aligned dragons (they don't refer to themselves by a moral standard) are typically younger and more numerous.  There is, at present count, one hundred and twenty non-aligned dragons, most of them under five hundred years old.

They are led by a loose council of five dragons including Shock, who is the youngest.  There is one other young dragon on the council and three older dragons (over 1000 - remember the end of the 3rd age).  None of them are as powerful as Smaug.

The bound dragons (evil dragons) are all over a thousand with a couple of exceptions.  There are less than fifty of them.  Two of them have achieved Smaug-level power since the end of the 3rd age.  Think in terms Great Wyrms.  They are joined by this dragon master who has some kind of relationship with the dragons.  Many say he controls them since he can be seen riding one or another of them, even the "great wyrms" from time to time over the border between the two territories of the Heath.  The bound dragons are known for their egos and would not easily allow a humanoid ride them.  They'd far more likely just eat them.

The only thing that has kept the bound dragons from wiping out the non-aligned is that Melkor's power has not been strong enough to overcome their natural distrust toward one another and hence their isolation.  However, that has also been observed coming to an end as more and more bound dragons have been seen flying together in formation.  Their forays into the non-aligned lands have been getting deeper and deeper.  Any day now, they may start attacking in force.  The younger dragons stay clear of the border lands, but eventually, they will have to push back or leave the Heath.

Please ask any questions you need to know.

Good info.

If they're gearing up for a battle against the evil dragons, I bet sets of dragon armor with the Glyph of Invis (dragon) would be pretty useful :)

Sounds like it would be a good idea to act sooner.  Can we expect any aid from the song of the wind?

You'd have to talk to him about that.  He seems...attached to Delunaur at the moment, like unable to leave her side for fear of losing her altogether.

As someone with a background in Naval Aviation (non-pilot), that thatch weave plan is on point dude. I really like that!

Agreed.

not sure how all this will work, but maybe summarizing pieces of the "plot." Also, i feel Ano should be doing something (is being left out). Dragon riding?

Got a bit busy.  Working on a post now so we can work out a few ideas.

"Be with her and know that the mithrail shields will protect you"

Ryland would be beaming if he were there.

I was beaming. :)

Just wait until Ryland finds out he missed the big war between dragons.  That would be a  good story
