Hey everyone! I'm the newcomer :D The game looks like lots of fun and I look forward to joining in.

Welcome Ealga :)

Glad to have you!

Greetings!

Could Dena stay behind to deliver our testimony?  Her word as a Paladin.  ;D

Excellent suggestion Radoslav.

In an effort to maintain momentum, is there any chance we can avoid having to roleplay selling the loot? I understand that sometimes NPC interaction is necessary, but if it's not in this instance it will save a couple of weeks to just OOC-sell the horses, gear, manacles and cages.

Well Lonhro, the city, as far as I'm concerned, could either be a complete auto-pilot backdrop or an entire extra layer of the game, depending on what you folks wish to make of it. For now, if you wish, you can just say what you sell, what you'd like to try to pick up (if anything) and if there's nothing special anyone wants to do then we can move right back to the castle. If you want, we can even gloss over the meeting of our new player: You spend the night at the Slumbering Drake again and there talk a bit about your adventure and meet the Barbarian lady who would like to join you. Seeing as you guys could use the muscle you all say 'cool' and the next morning away you go.

So, everyone just clarify for me a final time what you're keeping, I'll give you the value of everything else and let me know if there's any shopping you'd like to do. We'll move on quickly. If anyone does have anything they want to explore about the town that's ok too.

  Right now I just was to get my spells back... :-)

Thanks for your frankness, Caninrock. I'm personally happy to gloss a little over the town interaction at this early juncture, thinking that down that track we will probably be returning here so often with a swag full of booty we'll get to know the inhabitants.

Happy (my vote-wise) to gloss over everything you mentioned and have it summarised OOC, including new player introduction :) Let's get him/her in and let's get back to the business of conquering the ruins ;)

P.S. We may have purchases to make after we sell the goods. I don't personally want anything, but we may have enough money to buy something of use for somebody :)

Sorry for the slowness folks. Especially considering we were going with the trying to go faster option. Good news is that I'm done giving exams and am now basically on vacation for a couple months. I've got paperwork and grading to do this week but my schedule is mostly my own (although family will still take the lion's share of course). So I should be back to full speed.

As for your profits (and correct me if anything is wrong here):

Selling:

9 Horses for 338gp
7 Chainshirts for 350gp
Studded Leather for 12gp
Shortbow for 15 gp
Wagon for 18gp
rapier for 10gp
plus 57gp and 9pp

for a grand total of: 800gp and 9pp

Also, don't forget that people taking or selling equipment should alter there character sheets accordingly. The above totals assume that you are also selling Lonhro's chainshirt and rapier.

Split the gold according to your desires and just drop a note in here OOC about anything you want to buy. Standard equipment should be no problem, if you can afford it nicer stuff might be available too, just ask. Anything really fancy (and this goes for the future too) might need to be made to order or found and either way take some time.

In the interests of getting back to speed I'll simultaneously start the new IC thread and you can all do your shopping OOC while exploring IC. Do the shopping quickly though so that when the IC gets to a place where your purchases might matter they will have already been finalized.

Any problems just let me know.

Hey DM, is it possible to buy potions of Cure Light Wounds from town?

133 gold per person, with 1 platinum. Party kitty gets 135 gold and 4 platinum.  If we can convert the platinum into gold, then everyone gets 15 more gold, or 148 gold, with the kitty getting 150.

Probably a little hard to convert the platinum to gold straight up. Also, it'd be ok for large purchases but I wouldn't suggest dropping a platinum for your 5cp cup of ale to get change.

There is a potion seller who sometimes operates out of the Slumbering Drake. He's not from Cillimar but, oh what's this, he happens to at the Slumbering Drake your night in town. His cleric based potions are a little pricier than normal but he does have some.

Here's his inventory the night you're in town (it may be different in the future) oh, and his name is Quintus.

POTION                PRICE  #   NOTES
Cure light wounds      75 gp 3   Caster level: 3
Cure moderate wounds  450 gp 2   Caster level: 5
Magic weapon           50 gp 5   oil
Jump                   50 gp 6
Delay poison          400 gp 1
Blur                  300 gp 2
Mage armor             50 gp 4
Barkskin              800 gp 1   +3

Lonhro is going to buy a potion of Cure Light Wounds for 75gp. I suppose I'll hang onto the rest but if anyone needs money for something I'm usually happy to contribute :)

Ya know, with 800gp and 9pp, everyone could get 148gp and the kitty could get 9pp and 60gp... just sayin'.

Rav would buy a Potion o' CLW, too.

I'll gladly take as much platinum as I can get instead of gold. I'm not that strong and would rather have the platinum.

I've updated the potions list a couple posts up to reflect that two CLWs have been bought. Anyone else wanting any potions this go around?

Also, when Lonhro and Radoslav purchase their potions from Quintus he mentions that he'd be interested in purchasing any potions you find at either half price (standard rules) or in trade in value for other potions. If you elect to trade he'll give you 75% of the regular price. He could also identify potions without much hassle, being a potion making master himself. He'd charge a nominal fee for that service of say, 10gp, which he'll wave if you decide to sell or trade the potion to him after its identified.

Oh, and not that it matters to most of you nearly so much as Mordred I thought I'd point out that the calendar has been updated.

Actually, that works just fine!

Mellar will pick up a CLW potion.

Mellar's comment about naming animals made me recall this.
