I dunno :P  I figured someone new to Orphanage might not care to read through all those irrelevant information...:D

So, speaking of Party fund, what's the status of it, Zyphen? (He's the treasurer...)

-K

DM Fletch has sorted that out for us.

We would have still had a wagon, if we hadn't been chased by a stupid necromancer all over the place.  Or if we weren't so namby-pamby about the snow. :)
And we need to come up with a name for our group.  I've only been in one game ever who had an official name (Chillbane in the Cold Lands area here in RoA.)  I was thinking the Runners-from-Necromancers, but then, I called a grey, depressed pony Greenlaugh, and a cheerful, pleasing donkey Blighter.

Hmm, good point.  We have the following things to divide:


5% to the party fund would be 7.4 g.  That leaves 140.6 g to divide.  I think we divide that between:

- Corven
- Kanir
- Atalakis
- Borovik
- Zyphen
- Cuaglar

Am I forgetting anyone?  I have it on good authority that Rook is going to be an NPC from now on, so I am not counting him.

So that's 23 g, 4s, 3 cp each if we divide it.  I think we might as well since it isn't that much gold--we couldn't buy an uber Vigor wand with it!  If there are some misc. party purchases though we can take that out first, like if we do want another wagon (I tend to favor pack animals, myself).

I didn't try to divide up the clothes or trophies, so just claim them.  I doubt they sell for much.  (Too bad we didn't kill the ogres before we made this temporal shift, I would like some spending money!)

As to Dark, I think since this is a one-shot we should just exclude him from the fund.  We will give him his share of loot from outside the fund, then take the 5% out of the remainder, then distribute our own shares.  We don't have any group wands yet, so we probably don't have to worry about that.

Well, we all have the cash from the end of the "destroy necromancy book" think, don't we?  We could just all chip in to buy a party wand.

6 of us can pay 150 each and buy the wand, and hand it to either Corven or DC's cleric.  And if we end up using a charge on DC's character, DC can pay us 15gps or something?

I think we feel safer with a wand around, and this way, Corven and DC's cleric can do whatever they want to do with the spells, instead of holding them and turning them for heals.

-K

I don't mind chipping in while I'm here but I'll handle IC.

I only have 2 gp, myself.  Most of my share was in magic items.  I figured that the snow-caves adventure would give me cash to buy things in town.

If the group wants to get a wand, I am not opposed to it.  I can sell some of these magic arrows to contribute some, and I can owe someone some cash.

By the way, Zyphen does already have a Wand of Cure Light Wounds w. 18 charges left.  If we decide to wait on buying a group wand, that can tide us over.

I also have a Wand of CLW with 50 charges as well. I don't think healing will be a problem. I don't think I'll be doing much else.

Pssst, I highly recommend switching that wand for Lesser Vigor.

In general, I don't like designating someone a 'healer'.  I like having a group-pool for healing (i.e., wand purchased by the whole group).  This way:

A. The divine casters do what they want to do, instead of having to type-cast into healing role. (They can do more)
B. I'm of the opinion that 'Get rid of the source of pain first, then get rid of the pain later'.

I mean, really, you wand of CLW (Or lesser Vigor if you choose to), is benefitting everyone in the group.  Why not the group pay for it?

It's OK if you *want* to do it.  But I like people freedom to do whatever they want to do, and healing to be their secondary role.

I like playing a support role, its cool.

Picture this;
Surprise Round: cast Sanctuary.
Round One     : cast Bless
Round two     : Aid Another and flank (+4 to attack for one ally)

Which reminds me, is that aid another action considered an attack?

Round 3: Heal injured party or aid another again. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

I believe so.  Aid Another is a subcategory of 'Special Attacks', apparently.

-K

I thought so, I was just hoping that I was mistaken. Well that will cancel sanctuary but who cares, I've got armor (which is a big deal for me as I normally play a wizard.) <IMG SRC="http://forums.gleemax.com/images/smilies/fighter.gif">

Well, you might want to swap out the sanctuary for something else like Shield of Faith, then.  You can add that on top of your armor.

-K

I will most definately be casting that, and I will keep santuary in reserve for when I need to work with out getting stabbed or shot at.

I am all for buying group wands, I just think we might want to wait until the next set of treasure is awarded and buy one then.  It would be easier and the need does not seem urgent.

I will keep my wand CLW myself, since Zyphen can use it to stabilize people in combat.  But I agree it would be a good idea for Morad to trade for Vigor! :)

Does it cost the same? I didnt take it because I was not using the CDiv when I was shopping for equipement. Its its ok with Fletch I will swap them out. But what is the duration on Vigor again?

I don't know Lesser Vigour.  I thought it might be the spell you described in the other OOC thread K., but that was Close Wounds.  Could you provide a source or description please.

I'll be away briefly from this evening (Fri) to Sunday afternoon.  I'm not sure whether I'll get to post during that time.

Lesser vigor should be also in Spell COmpendium.

In nutshell, Lesser vigor gives the touched target Fast healing 1.  Duration of Concentration, up to 10 + caster level.

So, for a wand with caster level 1 (It's a level 1 cleric and druid spell), you can concentrate for 11 turns, and the target gain Fast Healing 1 for 11 turns, healing him/her 11 hit points after 66 seconds.

-K

Oh ok, 10 + level is really good. I could concentrate for days if we needed it. I also need to read over augment healingto see ifthe +2 applies to it as well... not that it would matter if I am using the wand.

The downside is that it takes 11 turns to finish healing.  So it's not practical in-combat healing.  But very efficient hit points/gps wise.

-K

I see what you mean. Well theres always CLW.

Yeah but you can cast that one if you want to.

Lesser Vigor will end up being more useful in the long run.  But then if your character isn't designed for the long run...

-K

Did anyone have any suggestions on group items to buy before we divide the money?  If not, I am going to divide it up.  We can always go back and chip in for Kanir's wand plan even after dividing it up, since we will all need to chip in anyway.
