I am aware. I think Millie is waiting to send her RTJ until after she has a character set in stone.   We spent a good hour or so last night talking about some of her options, she's got a couple of front line warrior types she's juggling between.

Encumbrance

So Enygma is asking about encumbrance and I responded that I use the rules as written (RAW).

There are two big things to keep in mind

1) You can drop a backpack as a swift action opening round of combat. Just remember to pick it up at the end.

2) This is mostly an urban adventure and by the time it isn't, you're well past worrying about encumbrance. Therefore typical adventuring kits like pots and trail rations aren't quite as necessary because up through level...8 or 10 I think you're in a city. Sometimes you might delve into the sewers or ruins but you're always in an urban environment so instead of burdening yourself with pots and trail rations you can mostly get away with just renting an inn room for the week and calling it a day.


If you absolutely are a pack rat and just cannot stand being impaired by your bulging backpack I advise you to invest in a mule and cart (23 gp in total) and then you can carry everything under the sun that you can afford up until you get your haversacks and holding bags...

Serra came to Korvosa after hearing of the ideals of Cressida Kroft, hoping she could aid the guard and improve her skills before she returned home. She managed to end up meeting the woman whom has earned her respect, though the only suggestion Cressida had for her was to keep an eye out for jobs posted by the guard and to hang out around the training grounds... or just join the guard. Serra is still debating the guard but for now she's hesitant to tie herself down to Korvosa. She was recently offered a task by Cressida Herself, to bring Gaedran Lamm to justice, but it was emphasized this is a personal task and has nothing to do with the city guard.

- Would this be an acceptable tie in?

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Almost...

Here's something for consideration:
quote:
Curse of the Crimson Throne assumes that all of the PCs have a shared nemesis from the start: local crime lord and villain Gaedren Lamm, a deplorable crook well past his prime, yet possessed of a tenacious ability to stay one step ahead of the Korvosan Guard while maintaining complete control of his band of young pickpockets recruited from the city’s street urchins and orphans. The Curse of the Crimson Throne Player’s Guide lists several backgrounds players might choose for their characters—these traits grant small bonuses to their stats, but more importantly for the start of the campaign, they give the characters an in-game reason to come together. Each PC has been wronged in some manner by Gaedren Lamm, so each PC should have a built-in reason to reply to the mysterious Harrow card that appears in his life as this adventure begins.


So if you want to go the guard route and not pick a campaign trait that ties into the game then it could just be that Cressida either told you or you overheard about the crimes of Gaedren Lamm and hinted that the guards didn't have the resources to track down whatever hole he had hidden himself in and so the implication is that getting rid of him would be of great service to the city...


edit: Campaign traits count towards your 2 maximum. I am allowing drawbacks as long as they are actual drawbacks. So Anxious/Condescending are not drawbacks for a character that doesn't speak, for example. Drawbacks are highly prone to being abused so I will be taking a very critical eye to the selections, but if it fits it fits and you can pick up a third trait.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Hey, just a note. I'm pretty busy over the next two days, but my character should be finished by Tuesday at the latest. My sheet is mostly done, just need to roll for Gold and buy equipment. I have a rough outline for my character's personality and background, that's what's gonna take until Tuesday, I expect.

To make a very, very brief overview of what I'm looking at, Victor will be living in, was not born in, Korvosa. He will have attended the Theumanexus College, but was forced to leave after being framed for murder, and has since continued his education on his own.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

After a week of trying to post and always ending the day without an update, I have come to the conclusion that I just don't have the time for RPoL anymore.

It's been an amazing half decade for me but with the changing of my job I just don't have the time to update during work hours like I did (back when my job was probably only 10 hours a week).

As for my personal life, I have a son who just turned one and another little one on the way and while I would love to continue gaming like this online, the problem is consistency. I could easily go weeks without having the time to make good updates and that just isn't the kind of game that I want to run so I am closing down shop across the board.

I'm very sorry as this game just barely started last month but two big life changes means no more rpol in very short amount of time.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Ok so we won't be redoing the introduction but hopefully you can mentally insert yourself into the scene using what was written.

The short story is that you all have a grudge against a specific person (based upon your background traits) and you received a mysterious harrow card that led you to a fortune teller. She gave you a harrow reading (see the last post in the thread) and then pointed you to a fishery where Gaedren has holed up in.

This leads us to the second thread and all of you are basically active at this point so let's get this game going!

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

quote:
Someone you know has become addicted to shiver, a drug distilled from the venom of dream spiders. The drug induces sleep filled with vivid dreams, during which the user’s body often shakes and shivers, giving the substance its street name. Shiver is particularly dangerous for the desperate, for its promises of dreams and oblivion are often viewed as the only alternative apart from suicide for escaping a dreary life. You’ve always thought of shiver as a problem of the lower class, but then someone you know overdosed on the stuff. You’ve done a bit of investigating and have learned that the one who got your friend addicted in the first place was a crimelord named Gaedren. Unfortunately, the guards seem to be more focused on the bigger dealers. They don’t have time to devote many resources to what they’ve called, “a bit player in a beggar’s problem.” It would seem that if his operation is to be stopped, it falls to you.

Addicted Friend: The addict is a friend or lover who might or might not have survived the overdose. Your research into the drug scene and local politics has given you a respectable education in street knowledge. You gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (local) checks or Gather Information checks (choose one when selecting this trait).

Personal Addiction: You were the addict. You blame Gaedren for your brush with death and hate how his drugs are causing similar problems among other youths. Fortunately, your body recovers quickly from toxins, and you have a +1 bonus on Fortitude saving throws.

I might be able to silently break the glass in N-17 or near the sleeping thug. Then slip through and kill either a guard or the thug. Wish I had a sap, could do this nonlethally.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

The blue windows on the north side of #4 are not accessible. There is the remains of a ship up against the backside of the docks. A quick examination shows no entrance from the outside but there appears to be an entrance to it from inside the fishery.

That ship may well be where Limm is sleeping, since I did not see him inside, and I doubt he'd be just inside the unknown areas.

How are they NOT accessible to Me? Natural climb 30', I can get to them and break them open silently.

Probably easiest just to come back with the info and we can all head into one of the entrances.

We can probably head up the ramp and try to get twelve of those children out without much trouble. Before we have to start fighting.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

@Greb: The windows are aligned with the portholes of the ship, or what remains of one. It's a floating rot pile. I also made the assumption that you didn't want to go into any potentially dangerous areas that might Leroy Jenkins the whole encounter. If you want to be more aggressive with your scouting make a stealth check.

@Jaemon: Lamm's Lambs aren't evil, the orphans press ganged into crime in exchange for a place to sleep and some gruel of their own. If violence breaks out they will most likely try to run and hide however those of you with experience in the gang know that sometimes Lamm's thugs will whip the kids forward as cannon fodder. While the kids don't do much damage they cause enough of a distraction for the heavy hitters to come into play.

They can probably be bluffed/diplomacy'd/intimidated into submission fairly easily...

I say we build our "marching order" like this:

Jaemon & Serra second as we have some support and can take some heat (I think Serra is a clericy type)

Stanton & Andrezi last as they are the wizardy types.


Greb and Jardan can sneak up and take a look with the rest of us 20 ft behind ready to move up.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Bad news guys. The last of the original players has dropped and I am going to pull the plug on this game.

Originally I was excited to resurrect this game because 2 out of the 4 players were still active a year later and having 2 long standing players made me want to use them but also to finally give them the game they were promised.

HOWEVER they have both since dropped and although I am very happy with the players assembled, especially because more then half of you are in other games I'm in BUT my  schedule has altered and I have actually been concerned that this game might stretch my time commitments.

With the final drop and the fact that most of you have only invested less then a week of effort I feel it is better to just pull the plug now then to cause my other commitments to suffer.

Please accept my deepest apologies for leading you on because that was never my intention.

I will leave this game active for a little while so you can save your character sheets and backgrounds.

How many will be in the party? Small party, three people? I enjoy such a party size, and it does demand characters with some variability in their abilities. I’ve got a few ideas, a Warpriest and a sorcerer being two of them... Greb, will you favor melee or ranged combat?

No on Paths of War stuff, try to stick to Paizo published.

The closest equivalent is Slashing Grace but you can't go TWF with it. Best alternative would be to go Unchained Rogue to get the 3rd level Rogue ability to use Dex for damage on a specific weapon.

Dont remember what book but there is a two-weapon fighting feat that works with Grace ... but its yet another feat on top of Finesse, Focus, your Grace of choice, and the Two Weapon tree. Also it gives a small to hit penalty. While cool for if you wanna be Drizzt, its a huge investment EDPE IALLY if you arent human and dont get bonus feats. Also hi :)

Actually thinking the Tengu Rogue. Kind of like the idea of getting Dex-based damage with an Elven Curve Blade. And I love the gifted Linguist ability of Tengus. I love speaking multiple languages, if only for private communications. His name would be Kraw.

Still a 20-pt build, correct?

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

GM Fiat says that you all see one another and realize that you're all casing the exact same house. No more standing around pretending you don't know each other are there :P

On a side note this AP can blow up badly if players don't take some initiative to befriend one another. If you decide to go your own way then you're free to do so but you're effectively writing yourself out of the game and you can just start rolling up a new character. I will try to meet you halfway but I have run this game years earlier where the players refused to group up and I'm not going through that headache again.

Again, you are 100% free to play your character but if you don't make friends and don't want to continue the adventure then you are writing your character out of the game and should probably think about playing a more team-oriented character next time.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Now that you have loot I'd like you guys to check to see if you can edit the posts in the locked thread. The idea is that you can discuss who gets what here but you can use that thread to just specify what you have on you vs. what you have in a secure environment.

I will post loot you discover there and when I have the time price it out for you, roll identify checks etc. and you can decide what to do with it. When it comes time for down time you can just say the word and convert the unclaimed equipment into gold and make your purchases which again will be recorded there.

I will periodically update your character sheets for things like new weapons and armor but for misc. magic stuff like scrolls and potions and mundane equipment that doesn't impact stats I will probably just check for encumbrance but not necessarily update your sheets.

With the grapple, you can - if you confirm the grapple with a +5 bonus - deal damage with your kukri to it as if by a melee attack! Takes one round more than an attack including the grapple you've just performed, but they're very small and likely have a higher than average AC but a rather low CMD :)

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

When you are off-balance you lose your dex bonus. Flubbing an acrobatics check and dropping unexpectedly into the water would do that.

edit: Don't forget to make your swim check if you stay in the water. Luckily there are enough handholds you can make a climb check to escape back to the platforms. It's just a DC 5 but you will take an AoO in the process. No way to smoothly climb up without the alligator trying to bite your butt off in the process...

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

@Kraw: You can make acrobatics checks while swimming or climbing however it halves your movement again and again. You move at half speed when dodging AoOs and climbing is a quarter speed so combined...you have 5ft of movement.

From where you are positioned that would allow you to get up to the top of the pole you're on. You'd be effectively stuck there however you would be out of reach to the alligator in the water and could then more effectively maneuver next turn. DC 15 climb check to get up there (10 for handholds +5 for slippery/wet)

edit: Kraw, just as an FYI you are not clinging to a pole you are in the water.

He's hurt each of us in some way. I believe Cordelia was forced into crime by him at a young age. Anya and Kraw were both drawn into addiction by him, and he remains a threat to Anya's neighbourhood by North Bridge on the mainland. He's a sly bugger, and has been very hard to find - he's a crime lord and a smart one at that, from what I understand. A purely disruptive part of the society, and an evil in each of our lives. So, we are looking for revenge! :)

So the way I do it is that it's round down but you get a bonus HP every other level.

So let's say you take average. While we drop the decimal...

Level 1: 8
Level 2: 12.5 <+4 hp
Level 3: 17 <+5 hp

This bonus HP occurs whether you roll or take average.

Welcome back to the land of the living GM!

Regarding loot:

Kraw:
After gathering the loot and selling it off, Kraw offers to go to the palace, although he hopes someone more personable than himself is willing to do the talking.


OOC: 2000 gp among the three of us. Since Anya is gone, but Ayesha feels she shouldn't get a cut, might I suggest 700 gp to Cordelia and myself, and 600 gp to be split between Ayesha and our NPC Anya, so they can improve equipment?


I started at level 2 with 1000 gold WBL, I'm good for now. I'd say either 800/800/400 or 1000/1000 and for the two of you.

Well shit. My computer was dying so I backed everything up and bought the parts to rebuild it but now I must have screwed something up. Either something wiggled loose or I bent a pin installing the CPU... I my weekend is now being spent diagnosing parts and/or saying fuck it and just buying something off the shelf. Sorry but delays until at least Monday unless a miracle happens and I get this working over the weekend.

So you two probably noticed that there is only two people active in the game. I open it to the group on who to proceed. I can tailor this for two people, I can bring in an NPC to round out the party or I can go out and recruit one or two people.

This is a natural transition point where you as the group can decide what you want to do going forward.

Figus is a Half Elf(Drow) Ranger with some Drow abilities and a knack for magic.

His mother was tricked into a relationship to besmirch her family honor, which worked. Figus was raised by a kind woman who took pity on an abandoned half elven baby. Currently he is a member of the guard (I am sure this will be worked into the story)

Thank you. Yeah, I can pretty much forget about cackling with this witch, especially since I need combat feats as well to make card throwing effective. I do get some cool toys in return, nice bonuses while the character is in the city (which is what makes it a good pick for this campaign) and being able to deliver touch spells at range. We'll see how well that works out, hopefully she'll be able to at least pull her own weight.

I am updating your character sheets and just want to verify that the your equipment loadouts/gold piles are correct compared to my notes.

So my best guess is:

I started at second level with

masterwork greatsword
breastplate
arrows (20/cold iron)
masterwork backpack
ioun torch
dagger (cold iron)
composite longbow str (+1)
98.8 gp

Not sure how we divided up the 2000 from the fishery. Original plan was 300 for Anya and Ayeesha (with Anya playing as an NPC) and 700 for Cordelia and Kraw (before we lost cordelia!) If I stick with that, and add in the 625 from the reward I now have

1023.8 gp

I bought a cold iron morning star, alchemical silver dagger and that's it. Already had a dagger and arrows. Saving up to get my greatsword to +1 I guess. cold iron morning star is 16 gp, silver dagger is 22 gp so leaves me with

masterwork greatsword
breastplate
arrows (20)
arrows (20/cold iron)
masterwork backpack
ioun torch
dagger (cold iron)
dagger (alchemical silver)
morning star (cold iron)
composite longbow str (+1)
985.8 gp

If I did the math right...

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Kyra's a witch. Normally, that would mean she can use her hexes for support, but my choice of archetypes has sadly left me without any. For now she will have to help out with her spells and ranged weapons instead. Just don't expect much until she gets a another level or two behind her. She does have a couple of CLW spells ready to patch up you melee types, but buying a wand of CLW asap would still be a very wise investment.

I've also build her as rogue-ish as possible, so even in a party with an actual rogue and a ranger, she is probably the sneakiest of them all by a good margin. Besides Stealth she can also help out with Knowledge: Local, Bluff, Perception, Sense Motive, Sleight of Hand and the usual witch class skills.

It wouldn't be hard at all. The city isn't great but if you have it delivered during the day it's got about a 65% chance of making it to its destination at this point (roll a D20 and get an 8+)

It will cost 5gp a barrel.

Uhhh....

You're at 40/43lbs for light encumbrance. That is assuming you're dropping your backpack before doing anything requiring a check as even with the MW backpack that bumps you up to 72/50lbs for light encumbrance.

Then again feel free to go through your sheet and let me know items that you are leaving behind somewhere. We can assume that as agents of the guards you can store stuff at the barracks OR you presumably have some kind of residence you are staying in or renting from. Or maybe not, it's fine for you to be homeless as well...your call.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

You're at 94/100lbs for light load. You could drop that by about 30lbs if you and kraw coordinated on gear. You're both carrying, for example:

Silk Rope - 5lbs
x5 Pitons -2.5lbs
Grappling Hook - 4lbs
Trail Rations - 5lbs


Also just so everyone is aware...you guys are in a city. Things like mess kits, trail rations and waterskins aren't really necessary unless you're planning on going on a multi-day trip through the sewers. I mean if you have it great and if you want to keep it for RP purposes (fill your waterskin with wine to keep your buzz going etc.) then great but this is very much an urban focused adventure where traditional gear like rations, camping supplies and even climbing gear isn't really worthwhile to carry around on a daily basis.

At least that's my opinion. If you want to be a boy/girl scout and "always be prepared" then by all means, you do you, but if encumbrance is a concern consider leaving frontier equipment at the inn...

Back in medieval times they could thread long strip of cloth over and under alternating scales of armor. It helped cut down on the 'jingle' factor. I figure in game terms it might be -3 ACP for Stealth only,  but that's a GM call.

If we are going in initiative order, I would go before Kraw and Ayeesha and mess up their actions, or in posting order I would go after and would need to make an Acrobatics check to get past Karralo in order to attack him.

Can some give me guidance on this please.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

@Ayeesha; In the surprise round you only get an action or a move action.

quote:
If some but not all of the combatants are aware of their opponents, a surprise round happens before regular rounds begin. In initiative order (highest to lowest), combatants who started the battle aware of their opponents each take a standard or move action during the surprise round. You can also take free actions during the surprise round. If no one or everyone is surprised, no surprise round occurs.





@Figus:
You post whenever you can. I operate in initiative order in case of a conflict of action (i.e. two people moving to the same square at the same time).

You could go first and mess them up but you could also just hold until after them and then move up with your acrobatics check.

Well, Kyra made her shot and (probably) missed. I'm afraid there's not much else she can do once melee is joined in these close quarters. There's nowhere to manoeuvre to try to get a clear shot, and she has no offensive spells or hexes to use. The most she can do is some healing should someone get clobbered, and cheer from the back rank. So, ah, go team?

I agree, let's just stick with and resolve surprise round first. Kraw starts at E9. Figus and Kyra go first. Kyra throws card and misses. Figus moves to ??? and the wolf moves to ???

Ayeesha then moves to whichever of D8/D9/D10/E10 is open and not full of Figus/wolf.

Then Kraw gets a single sneak attack for standard action, not a full attack I don't think, right? (only standard action for surprise round, not full round)

Surprise round over. So where you and wolfie moving to Figus?

It's not that bad, we took out two of them, only three (?) remaining. I don't think they will go after us if we pull back now, we bloodied them too much for that, they'll just dig in up there.

Weird, that. It looks like Kyra may have hit him with 4 damage two turns ago, though she was shooting at Parns. But even if he was bruised, I would have thought it would take more than 17 damage to kill him outright.

Does not look like stabilize will help here, but Kyra may still try it. Not like she is going to be of much use anyway now that her healing spells are expended and everyone is in melee. This looks all over but for the cleanup.

Also not power attacking so crit max is 38 and I'm sure he must have more than 28 or so hitpoints, so could probably be stabilized. Probably ...

I could go back to sap if you want, but I dropped it... Or cold iron morning star, keeping lethal but less max damage (1d8+7 if two handed, 1d8+5 if not)

In reply to Ayeesha (msg # 406):

Getting him out of the corner is pretty tough. The best way is a Reposition maneuver, which I am sure no one has. It can still be done, but whoever attempts will take an AoO and needs to beat the guy's CMD which I am gauging to be in the 15+ range. Tripping him is pretty much the same. This is the type of stuff that Fighters excel in.

My dog is downstairs waiting. I did not bother to use him here because of the tight conditions. He would have just got in the way.

Overall, I think we need to tough it out and just beat him into submission.

Ouch. Ayeesha, Kyra can give you a potion of CLW if you want one. If you 5' step back, she can retrieve her potion as move and give it to you (free? standard?). You would need to take it (move, but probably ok with 5' step because it's not actual movement?) and drink it (standard). Should work.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

The guard equipment can't be "sold sold" but will give you credit with the quartermaster for basic supplies like ammunition, non-magical weapons etc.

The custom MW stuff can definitely be sold if desired at 1/2 price.

For identification you could take them to a magic shop. The Gilded Orrery is a high end magic shop while there is a hedge mage that has a regular shop in the Gold Market. For magical arrows you could visit the local bowyer who is known to sell magical archery items while the weaponshop Slicing Dicers might know more about the silver dagger.

None of the equipment is useful for Kraw, except maybe the silver Dagger. Maybe bring it to Slicer Dicers for an appraisal and identification?

I say we each look at the list (give you guys a day or two to think it over). See if anything there is an upgrade on your equipment, and that you can use it. Otherwise, we sell off the lot (I assume SOMEONE can use the +1 arrows, whether with a longbow or a shortbow), and split the kitty.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Only thing on the list that might be useful for Kyra is the harrow deck. Since it qualifies as masterwork tools, it should also give her a +1 to hit when throwing it at someone. I think. Of course, it would effectively be throwing away 1 GP each time she makes an attack. So, probably better to just sell it, especially since it will become obsolete anyway once Kyra gets to level up.

I do recommend we pool resources to buy a CLW wand though, without a cleric around we need something to keep everyone alive. Other than that, Kyra is ready to proceed. She can (try to) identify the dagger another day (she failed the check for tomorrow as well). Oh, and if we do get around buying a CLW wand, I'd like to refocus her CLW spells - another Mage Armor for Figus' pet at least.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

I am all for buying CLW wand.

I think it would better off with a scroll for Mage Armor for now. Based on that last adventure, he may just be a show-dog, as a the quarters are tight, we have 3 melee characters and I may not be able to take him everywhere in this urban environment.

Money:

Turning in the Guard equipment we have 832 gp of credit.

If we sell the rest
x1 set of custom MW chainmail          = 300 = 150
x1 MW Spear                            = 302 = 152
x1 MW Composite Longbow Str +2         = 600 = 300
x18 +1 Arrows                          = 720 = 360
Harrow Deck                              100 = 50


We can buy a Wand of CLW and divide the rest:

1012 - 750(wand) = 262 + 95(found) = 357/4 = 89 gp 25 sp each

And:

Magic Silver Dagger(?)

Don't we have the OTHER harrow deck? From the original mission to get Lamm? The fortune teller who brought us all together?

DEFINITELY get the wand of CLW! Happy to contribute my share, and more to it!

I agree with GM from 'bout four posts back though. We should get to know each other's characters as we play. Somebody remind me of backgrounds and how we got together again?

Kraw was in the original group. I had this Varisian fortune teller appear to me and tell me to seek out his group, they needed help. I helped them off an escaped otyugh then hung around to return a piece of jewelry to the queen, who rewarded us and sent us to Cressida to help out with the riots.

You two (Kyra and Figus) are mercenaries working for the guard, right? What are your back stories?

By the way, what's going on with the riots? Have they settled down? I guess if shops are open again they must have.

This was my original Background when I applied:

Figus' adaptive mother raised him, but knows nothing about his past. His obvious elvish features made him friends and enemies. Figus worked as a lookout for a cabal, but was unaware of their nefarious activities. He left when it was taken down by a groups of adventurers, but is afraid people may still be looking for him.

His mother obviously had a Drow noble lover, or perhaps just a one night stand. It is not clear if she knew that and abandoned the child for her, or the child's safety, or she was surprised and abandoned the child for her own reasons.

No problem with memorizing another Mage Armor, even if Kyra does not end up using it on Figus' panther (was it a panther?), having a second Mage Armor could come in handy, what with only 2 hour duration. And buying scrolls could end up expensive.

Anyway, Kyra is a (very new) guardsman. She is not one for sharing her story, but I imagined her as something of a vigilante. Like batman, only female. And a witch. And without the bat motif. So basically not like batman at all, now that I think of it.

Hmmm, do we still have Lamm's Journal or Account books? Or did we turn those in? If we still have them, they might be a tempting bargaining chip.

I believe our initial approach should be open. It would give us the potential for either skulking or bribing.

But, take the antitoxin before hand just in case, it's good for an hour. It can't hurt to bring the journal even if the guy is not interested.

Fine clothes are good, but they will only provide a bonus to one social skill, right? Since Kyra has 0 skill in diplomacy, I'm thinking of focusing her bonus on her already respectable (well, for level 2) +7 bluff instead. Maybe someone else could take the diplomat role for this mission?

Also, about the journal / ledger, Kyra would definitely like to take a look at it before we move in, if for no other reason than to figure out if it is worth anything or not. She has no Profession: Merchant skill, but maybe Knowledge: Local or default on Appraise would work?

Swarmsuit 10 lbs

These heavy and overlapping layers of clothing, coupled with a wide hat outfitted with a dense, veil-like netting around its brim makes it all but impossible for Diminutive and Fine creatures to make physical contact with your body. Wearing a swarmsuit cuts your speed in half, but gives you DR 10/— against swarms of Fine creatures and DR 5/— against swarms of Diminutive creatures.


I kind off want to see you in it, but how exactly are you planning to carry it to the guys place?

Instead of Alchemical Fire, get Acid. It's half the price and won't burn down the whole place.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Bad news, they FAQ'd it to oblivion:

quote:
The effects are illusion (glamer) like the glamered weapon and armor properties. This means they can’t be disbelieved like a figment could, but they do not actually physically change the clothes. The transformation changes only the appearance, including the feel, smell, and other sensory aspects.



This means that not only can you not make it swarmsuit but you also can't get any mechanical benefits like cold weather outfits actually protecting you from the cold.

In that thread though one of the players had a slick idea which is you wear the swarmsuit, then put the Sleeves on to transform it into normal clothing. Then if you encounter a swarm you just remove the sleeves and you're suited up ready to go. That I will allow.

Otherwise I'll allow a full refund of the item. Some adventurer not aware of the FAQ will offer to buy it from you en route at full price :P

Decided to grab some fine clothing, but one with a bonus to bluff to improve on Kyra's strong skill, if that is possible. Others have better diplomacy skill than her +0 anyway. Also grabbed those alchemical items, I placed it all on my char sheet.

I'd still like for Kyra to at least take a look at whatever books the party found at the fishery before we possibly offer it away as trade. Also, we should probably work out how we wish to approach this whole mission.

I think Kraw or Figus may have the same. Kyra on the other hand has a big fat +0 in diplomacy, so no  help there. She does have +9 in bluff, so if lying is needed, she might be able to pull it off.

But what is the plan anyway? Do we simply try to buy information for cash? It looks like Lamm's books are not worth the paper they are written on, so we can't offer those.

Nope. Kraw has 7 Cha. +2 from Fine clothing gives him a net +0 with Diplomacy. I figure we have information to sell, namely that Lamm and his Lieutenants are dead. It's the truth, doesn't require Bluff or Diplomacy. Add to that another truth. We have books from Lamm's desk. Might be his journals or records, might not. We don't look for a high price if he is interested. It's more to pave the way for our inquiries regarding the Cheliax ambassador. Again, above-board and no need to bluff. BUT, at that point we need the most diplomatic among us to make our case, that we do not need Cheliax making inroads to the city's underbelly. That position should be reserved for homegrown businessmen.

If you'd like to bluff or intimidate those would be skill checks. Same with persuasion.

Kyra would not be of much help trying to sap the guards, even if she had a weapon to do it with. And throwing cards is a problem since they are engaged with you guys. She could cast Command to (try to) temporarily disable one of them (whichever is left standing), would that be ok?

She also has a couple of Mage Armor spells, in case Figus' cat is around.

If we can do this again without starting a fight, Kyra could make her pitch, I have thought of a story that I hope will get us to the boss. Maybe.

Either way, the +2 from the aid attempt takes us over 20 DC.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

All four of you will be expected to participate so you can all go through simultaneously even though it is match after match. Sound good?

So first step is to roll initiative. Then you've got three options.

1) Go for the dagger (if you win init) and start making your attacks.

2) Try and just bull rush your opponent off the table. Can also do things like grapple or disarm as you like.

3) Scoop up gold. If the game goes on too long Devargo calls it and the one with the most gold in their pouch is the winner.

Matches will last about 5 rounds before Devargo calls it but if things are interesting he'll let them go longer. If things are boring because nobody can hit one another he'll call it earlier.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

I believe trip does work with finesse if you are using a finesse weapon to attempt the trip.

Anyway, this is a problem for me as Kyra is definitely not a melee character. I guess I'll have her go for the dagger, if only to prevent it being used on her, then try to get her opponent off the table with the Command spell (flee). And if that fails, just try to stay alive? Maybe gather some gold and avoid getting hit? There's not much chance of doing melee damage with her stats, and trying to throw cards would provoke AoOs.

I feel like Command is my best shot here, though I admit having the other guy run off the table may not be particularly entertaining for the crowd. The spell does have only a verbal component, so maybe casting it will not be as obvious as it would be otherwise. Maybe.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Yep, just like combat. Everyone post and then I'll post.

@Tripping: You always use Strength unless you take the feat Agile Maneuvers

@Spellcasting: Nobody said you can't cast spells or hexes. You will have time to prep long running buffs like Mage Armor but the betting alone can take a full minute or more so short term buffs of less than 1 minute will expire before the match starts. I'll roll dice to determine how long betting can go if it becomes a factor.

@Gambling: You are welcome to participate in the gambling with the others. Just remember that 1/2 the pot goes to the winner while the other 1/2 is split among those participating.

@Entertaining: That is entirely up to you if you want to showboat or go for the quick win.

Including the guards at the door and Devargo there are 8 other people in the room. While the guards and thugs gamble for keeps, Devargo seems to like just dumping tons of gold on the table to make things more interesting and/or slippery.

If I knew the best way to motivate I might suggest they were afraid. Like the phrase "they have more of a reputation as bullies rather than serious law enforcement" might inspire a fight rather than a capitulation.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

I always thought these guys were supposed to be tough as nails and fearless, so I have no idea on how one would try to intimidate them. Maybe by calling on our status as guards / agents of the queen and threatening to go over their heads to have them reprimanded or thrown out of the city? Maybe that would work?

Yeah, think Nazis. The way to intimidate is with authority. Imply that we are much higher on the chain of command and we can make their own leaders deal with them. They are most likely not told much anyway and are always looking out waiting for the higher up to screw them.

I skipped past several rounds of running to get there. You would not have been able to keep up while stealthed and turning the corner put you in combat.

There is plenty to hide behind if you would like to re-stealth. You can keep your 29 if you'd like.

Antitoxin can only do so much when you roll a '2':

But for the follow up saves (need 2 to cure) it is still in play.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Also regarding HP... I know I've changed my mind back and forth on this however it has been pointed out that the rules as I've written them allowed for average and while I would greatly prefer rolls for a bit more spice and the nostalgia factor of old school D&D I also don't like strong arming my player over something that ultimately doesn't matter that much so on the honor system if you feel like I pressured you unfairly into rolling when you would rather have taken average then I have shifted my position and you can take your average (round down).

Let it be known that while my rulings are absolute and completely justified they can become refined over time (or in this case refined, unrefined, and then refined again :P)

Also, would it be possible to do that shopping before we head out? Or would it take too much time to find such an item at this moment? I'd like to have it with us, but not if it means spending so much time looking for it it risks our mission.

It's a story but not a full modern one so say ~2.5 meters/5ft from roof to ledge. You could attack but grappling would be really hard as you'd have to lie down and risk being pulled over the edge if you lose the grapple and she choose to move you...

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Posting a map but just so you know what is going to happen, we're about to have a chase!


We are not doing combat in the normal way. Instead you're on a race track 15 squares long. Each turn you roll initiative to figure out who moves when and then you decide if you want to try and move 1, 2, or 3 squares. One square represents a move action, moving 2-3 squares is a full round action.

When you land on a square you will be presented with 2 obstacles (things like a tightrope walk or a crumbling rooftop etc.)

When you want to move OFF of that square next round 1 of 3 things happens:

1) If you move 1 square you move away automatically. You take your time and avoid the obstacle at the expense of not dashing ahead.

2) If you want to move 2 squares you must pick one of the obstacles (for example in the above you might decide to deal with the crumbling rooftop) and then make your skill check.

-> If you pass your check, move your 2-3 squares.
-> If you fail by 5 or less then you only move forward 1 square.
-> If you fail one check by 6 or more then you just stay in place for this turn.
-> If you fail 2 checks by 6 or more then you fall, suffering 1d4x10 damage. You're not out of the race yet but there are a whole other set of rules for either following from the streets or climbing back up that I'll go over if asked or it becomes relevant.

3) If you want to move 3 squares then its as above but you have to make BOTH skill checks to move.


The goal is to reach up to Trinia's square and then grapple her OR if you want to take your chances you can always fire ranged attacks (each square = 30ft for distance purposes) and hope to knock her out.

If Trinia reaches square 15 then the race is over for reasons that will be revealed later on. Most likely its because she gets away.




Because of their advantageous positioning, Kraw and Figus start on square 2 while Ayeesha and Kyra start on square 1.

Don't worry too much about the horizontal movement. I'm just doing that to follow along on the map, the only thing that matters is that you're on row A (or B) and to get Trinia before she reaches row P.

You can move one square automatically. Two squares by beating the DC 15 jump, Three squares by beating the DC 15 and DC 25 jumps.

Kraw:
I should be right on her heels.


You were and could be again if you happened to have quaffed a magical potion for enhanced mobility prior.  On her turn she moved 3 squares by passing the jumps thanks to her +10 magical bonus to acrobatic jumps from a Potion of Jump.

So you jumped next to her prompting initiative. She won and moved 3 squares ahead.

Ayeesha:

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

So have to let Ayeesha take her action as how she moves is going to be critical to what Trinia does which is critical for what the rest of you are doing.

Again as a reminder, you are dealing with the obstacles on your square only. You can choose to move 1 square automatically (and it only counts as a move action so you can do other things like cast spells, make an attack, use a wand/potion etc.). As a full-round action you can attempt to move 2 squares (pass one of the challenges on your current tile) or move 3 squares (pass BOTH challenges on your current tile.)

Currently for everyone this is an Acrobatics and a Perception check.

I would say that your levitation means you cannot fall if you fail 2 tasks by more than 5 however it provides no special bonuses for jumping across gaps.  The rules suggest that by pushing yourself off of something you could move horizontally at half speed  so that probably isn't very helpful in this situation.

In reply to Ayeesha (msg # 694):

Nah, I do not feel that I had it bad, i just feel I had no chance at all. This entire thing is pretty much based on Dex and Acrobatics. I did not get surprise, and lost I intiative which put me out of range with no chance to close. Even my magic is not improving things, which I feel it should, but in all honesty it should be paired with an Acrobatics check which is not that great.

There is no chance of anyone but Kraw getting even close to her and he has not been rolling that well.

If Kraw makes no progress either, next round Kyra can try to Web her. I was reluctant to use up my best spell like this, as it could come in very handy should we need to evade pursuit later on. But to hell with it, Kyra is getting tired of this as well.

Alternatively, I could blind her, I just noticed that although Blindness-Deafness has permanent duration, it is also dismissible. It might make her fall off the roof though. DM, how much danger is there of that? How close to the edge is she?

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

@Kraw: I just checked and it looks like the map didn't update and hasn't updated in awhile. I suspect I might have been saving to file A but uploading to file B. I'll get that fixed shortly.

You are on Row F.


@Figus: I'm sorry to hear it. It is designed to be difficult however this isn't a fail state for the adventure path. Because of the random nature of obstacles and the specific advantages that Trinia has (to be faaiiiir it is her home turf) I would expect this to be quite difficult without a skill monkey or very special spells in play. There is a chance for her to roll poorly or you to roll very well to close the gap but if you want to pass, that is fine. You can always move forward one square automatically. I think you should also be able to "aid another" on your team mates so you could move into a support roll to help kraw make those big gains and then be nearby to help if he grapples her.

@Kyra: If you blind her she is going to most likely stop running. Running across rooftops blind is a guarantee to fall to the street and then, blind, she would be easy prey for the mobs hunting her. Given that she can cast spells it is safe to assume she has some modicum of intelligence and she would know that her chances of surviving mob justice is zero so the smart move would be to hope that her pursuers aren't going to outright kill her, and even then she has a better chance of fighting back against 4 people than 400.

@Ayeesha: Good to know. I'll keep that in mind for the next updates until you return.

I don't see how I can possibly aid him, i can't keep up with them. Even if he does manage to grapple, i will be at best minutes behind them. I am just disappointed at what I consider a bad design on the part of the module creators. I just can't see how a standard party has a chance of getting her when our party, which is extremely mobile and with fairly decent DEX stats has this much trouble.

I do want to ask one question, why was she already outside her apartment? How did she know we were coming?

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Okay after an embarrassing amount of time I finally figured out my problem. I was saving my map as a .png but was loading a .jpg. Same name file though. My apologies.

@Figus: You wouldn't know this and might never know this but one of her neighbors warned her of a stranger approaching (Ayeesha) and she beat two rounds of stealth vs. perception checks against you and Kraw before Kraw won and spotted her. She took a big penalty because of the situation but she rolled a 20 and 18 vs. your/kraw's 5's and 6's:


00:23, Sun 20 Oct: Secret Roll: Dungeon Master rolled 38 using 3d20 with rolls of 16,2,20.
00:23, Sun 20 Oct: Secret Roll: Dungeon Master rolled 29 using 3d20 with rolls of 18,6,5.
00:23, Sun 20 Oct: Secret Roll: Dungeon Master rolled 33 using 3d20 with rolls of 20,5,8.

So the first two she passes, but on the last one Kraw's 20+ Perception beats her 16 + Stealth -5 penalty for being exposed.

That is very true. I can throw the hardest puzzles and demonic forces and they will chew through them like butter but ask them to go to a fancy party and it's a coin toss if they will end up murdering the king's son in an "unsanctioned duel."

I think that is the right attitude though. It explains why they are much better out there, away from society.

I thought antitoxin lasted an hour. Procuring clubs, even if they are just table legs, should take minutes at most.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Kyra has 2 flasks of holy water and 4 of acid to share (also 2 holy weapon balms, but those are only really worth it to use on ammo). If those skeletons are nicely bunched up in the pit, we could start combat by lobbing those at them. Might make short work of them. Might also look stupid if those are just bones after all.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

That's just because you don't have the time to find one that is suitable as a weapon. Clubs are easy to find and free of cost (same as the quarterstaff) so you find a piece of wood that is sturdy enough to use as a weapon.

Yeah. As long as you make it clear what you are trying to do I can fiddle with the mechanics of things. Otherwise if it gets too off base I can always just give you two actions in a row to make up for it.

By and large, when in doubt just make a post with the information that you have, drop a quick note in OOC here or there to clarify or even just to say "I don't know if this will go through" and I can work my magic to ensure that things keep moving forward without removing your control of your PC.

Management finally realized that gutting all training budgets and just expecting people straight out of college were prepared to work in the industry was a bad idea.

It's a big "leveling ground" basic training to make sure everyone is starting from the same space. It was good for me as I realized even after 10 years there were some basic concepts I hadn't thought of yet however it was long. Full day sessions for a full week so I got to go home with a full plate of work at the end.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

From description it sounds like the tunnel is very, very tight. But we could send one of us to scout it out, maybe it's a hidden stash of magical goodies? Not sure a pure spellcaster like Kyra is a great pick for this, even though she does have some useful skills. Could Figus' animal companion maybe handle this better (I'm not familiar with rules for animal companions)?

We could also leave this tunnel for later when we explore other passages.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Given the global health crisis I am trying to make accommodations for players impacted by the virus. Please via PM do a quick check in with the following information:


1) Will this crisis make it harder for you to post? While many people are home quarantined those working in vital services and especially medical are in for a long period of time.

2) Are you safe and healthy (COVID-wise)? If you get sick I completely understand dropping off for a couple of weeks so just let me know and I will make accommodations.

3) (Optional) Is there anything you're worried about or could use help with? I know I am a random anonoymous internet stranger but I am well read, have a background in psychology (IRL) and my full-time job is an emergency problem solver so while I am stuck at home handling other crises it is refreshing to be able to use my experiences helping people instead of corporations. I can't promise that I can help in every situation and I don't have all the answers but especially now when people are potentially very isolated sometimes even just having someone to talk to can help so for everyone here, please know that I, random anonymous internet stranger, am here for you :)

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Generally, no issues. You are pretty good GM. A couple of things I would like to see are:

1. More regular posting, especially during combat.
2. Combat maps embedded in the thread itself with the round summary.

Example (I know the map does not match the round)

The derro both reach down and grab up strange looking crossbows that have boxes on top of them where the bolts would normally go. They fire at Ayeesha and Kraw then pull down on a lever in a swift motion causing the crossbow to cock the string again.
OOC: Ayeesha takes 6, Kraw takes 11 damage

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Also you guys are getting close to level 4. Definitely hitting it before the end of the dungeon so we should talk about leveling up mid-adventure.

I believe in the old school way that leveling up properly requires time and training so when you go up to level 4 we can figure out what makes sense for you to get immediately (HP, attribute bumps) and what makes sense to wait until the downtime after this adventure to apply (skills, extra spell slots etc).

Still it is worthwhile to start thinking about your level up choices now.

As I have 3 new abilities at lvl 4, yeah, I'll need time for those.

Yeah, so at 4th level we get a stat point, I get spell casting which is nice, and an animal companion which plainly speaking sucks until I get to 5th level.

I hope everything is going well with you guys. I don't want to spoil anything but you are fast on your way with finally completing book 1.

This will be the first game I've ever run on rPoL to make it through the first book of an AP!

Especially given very low turnover, all things considered, just one relatively early rotation of characters so I cannot express how great of a journey this will be.

I know I shouldn't be celebrating too early but I am just really excited!

Yeah, its good stuff when you get a good group. I did have one game where we went through the first 2 books of the Runelords. Hopefully this one will go longer.

In regard to 4th level, Alpha is going to get a lot weaker, at least until i get to 5th level. Its pretty weird how that will work out.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Looking for opinions

I am thinking of delaying taking 4th level Ranger and doing a level of Brawler instead.

The main reason is that my companion would be weaker than it is right now. Alpha would revert to a puppy stage :). At 5th level (Ranger 4/Brawler 1) I would be able to take Boon Companion, which would make it reasonable.

Down side: Do not gain spell casting, 2 less skill points, delay on Ranger ability progression

Up side: no weak Animal companion, Martial Flexibility, Unarmed Strike, Acrobatics as class skill

What do you think?

Oops, I thought you guys went South. We can explore North if you'd like to go that route first before making a decision.

As for Figus I don't see it getting particularly weaker though. In fact after doing a detailed comparison there would be exactly zero difference in going from a bought wolf to a wolf animal companion.

OOC: Retcon...

The giant runs forward and just as he pulls back to punch Ayeesha in the head the raging barbarian swings her sword and hits it right in the neck, slipping between the bones and slicing his head clean off. The giant still goes to swing but without eyes to direct it the punch goes wild. The head sits on the ground blinking with one eye while the body just stands there waiting for the next command that would never arrive.

It takes an unnerving amount of time for the light to go out in the giant's one good eye but eventually the body collapses and the eye rolls up.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Without the missing arm the task isn't technically complete. The Shoanti are pretty particular about bodies not being desecrated. You could return most of the body and hope either you or the Cressida can convince Thousand Bones that this is sufficient.

As a rough expectation, if you return 5/6ths of the body you will get 5/6ths of the rewards if you can convince Cressida/Thousand Bones that it was the best that could be expected.

You also don't know what else is behind that door. Based on where you've been (See Map Group 1) that area hasn't been defined in any way through other tunnels. Could be stairs leading to another level, could be a whole series of caves with more prisoners.

It is reasonable to assume that you've seen most of the complex the derros were using, especially if that door has been sealed off, but given how many natural caverns you've passed through there is no telling what else is behind that door. All you know is that whatever is behind that door, the derro or their necromancer boss, decided to seal it off.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

From my perspective except for a bit of healing the party is in great shape. You've basically bypassed or outsmarted almost every encounter, picking off the derro via ambush, killing the fat guard and the mage in the first turn, bypassing the otyugh and the stirges...

The only tough encounter you faced was the hallway full of bone snakes.

As for the party Kyra is a little over 50% in terms of spells, Ayeesha is at about 75% for rage and for healing you have plenty of charges on your CLW wand.

Everyone also has their super powerful santacles potions, along with other consumables unconsumed.




Don't take this as me trying to push you into delving deeper. I am just trying to simplify the decision  making process by giving you guys a quick status of how everyone is doing.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Yeah, that would be one way to salvage at least something, and later we could sell the spellbook for some cash as well. Witches are weird. Normally I'd have to brew a potion from a scroll and feed it to my familiar, except, I don't have a familiar. But because nowhere does it say I can't still use the normal (for a witch) ways of acquiring spells, and not being able to do so would be a huge drawback for a prepared caster, I will just fluff it as copying a scroll onto my deck.

Anyway, I'm ok with the current plan with the door. But there is another passage left we have not explored yet, isn't there? Maybe that one is leading to the boss?

Also, one of you frontline types needs to take that ring before we open the door.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

@Kyra: I'd say the ritual involves casting the spell at the card which is why you need a scroll to copy from. Or maybe you brew the potion and pour it over the deck and the magical essence is absorbed. Up to you. Go wild. Mechanics will be the same though so you'll need the spells on scrolls.

@Figus: noted. I'll make sure to update my notes before next combat.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

While there is still more to the book, that concludes the last major section of book 1. Congratulations everyone! There were some excellent displays of team work, I am quite impressed how you handled some of the harder encounters. In this dungeon the stealthier approach of quickly ambushing and blitzing worked out wonderfully. The enemies were either too spread out or too distracted to reinforce one another letting you pick them off one by one.

In a game I'm playing in now the party snuck into the heart of the dungeon and then accidentally triggered an alarm so it is just nonstop encounter after encounter with no time to heal or reposition for success and it is brutal.

I'll work on calculating things like gold and XP as well as transitioning to the final scenes but for now you're free to rest and reflect on everything that has happened.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Problem is, if we are doing this as guards, we would likely need a warrant, which we will not get. This guy is well connected after all. We could do this vigilante style, of course, but that risks bringing the guard and those hellknights watching the docks on us. Just leave him off for later, I say.

Anyway, to loot. Kyra would like to keep those books they found (she carts them off to her home), and use that scroll of identify to, well, identify that unidentified wax-sealed vial.

I assume you guys wish to keep the armor and the ring. And we better keep those unknown vials of powder until we find out what exactly we are dealing with. Other than that, and the currently unidentified vial, we can sell the lot, I think. Unless someone wishes to keep something else?

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Ok, we will pay the fee to an Alchemist for identify the items.

On a separate note, just want to point this out:

Korvosan Guard - The Korvosan Guard serves the city of Korvosa first, the city’s leader second, and the church of Abadar third. It works closely with the monarch and high priest of Abadar to maintain order in the city, acting most often as a police force, but turning into a military operation whenever the city is threatened by external forces. Descended from the regular army troops brought to Endrin Isle by Field Marshal Korvosa, the Korvosan Guard possesses a long and proud history of serving the city and its leaders. Supported and augmented by the church of Abadar, the Guard counts among its officers paladins and priests of the city god. The Guard works closely with both the Order of the Nail and Sable Company, coordinating efforts among all three and relying on the Hellknights to muster Acadamae wizards when necessary in order to protect the city from every imaginable threat. Field Marshal Cressida Kroft leads the nearly 700 soldiers of the Korvosan Guard, almost all of whom are human of Chelaxian descent. All other civilized races have representatives in the guard, as do Shoanti and Varisians. Despite an ever increasing integration of non-Chelaxians into its ranks, the Korvosan Guard remains steadfastly tied to its Chelaxian traditions. Only full-blooded Chelaxian humans can become generals or the field marshal, while only those with at least half-Chelaxian blood (including half-elves) can achieve a rank higher than captain.

Then Kyra will take the scroll of identify and the books. Does Ayeesha want to keep the Wand of Ghoul Touch?

As for the spellbook, just selling it would probably be for the best. Might fetch a nice price too. Even if we find someone to craft scrolls from the spells in it, Kyra only has 50-60% chance of actually learning a spell from a particular scroll. And either way the scroll is destroyed in the process. The only practical way for witches to learns spells is from other witches.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

I will add the payment to the sold loot as I've done in the past. Is the above list final? And yes you can get a good price for the spellbook.

The spellbook can be sold on the open market for about 400gp. Keep in mind that for this (and all other specialty items you find) that is just the default "sell it and forget it." It might be possible to gather information to find buyers willing to pay more than just the default. Perhaps someone has a particular interest in the knowledge contained within, or perhaps they would pay a premium to prevent the item from hitting the open market. Not just the spell book but also scrolls/magic items etc.




The alchemist identifies the powder as Blue Whinnis. When mixed with water and applied to a weapon it can cause the target to fall unconscious, likely the reason why the derro were able to capture so many victims unseen. Each dose is worth 120gp (sold for 60gp).

The wax sealed vial is one of alchemist's fire.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

RE: Buyers

For finding a buyer I don't want it to be just as easy as a roll. I want to give you guys the opportunity to add to the story by figuring out a scenario that someone would want to pay more than normal for these supplies.

I have some ideas but I dislike just feeding that out nonstop because I feel like if the GM says it, it has a tendency to squash player creativity and to be honest, I find working with the ideas you present a lot more interesting and exciting than just raising the question and answering it myself.

So if you would like to explore that option, think on that question and the answer plus an appropriate skill roll will turn up a buyer. I won't necessarily craft it into a IC scene but at least add a vignette or perhaps an NPC contact to the background.

RE: Poison
Poisons typically last about 10-30 minutes on a blade. The derro had special weapons where the act of drawing the weapon would coat the blade. The poison lasts for one good hit.

RE: Blackjack
I am gathering my sources to properly answer this question. Stand by.

RE: Plans
I'd like to move on to the thrilling conclusion to the book soon so my focus for you guys is:

1. Figure out whether you will attend the execution or not. If so in what capacity (bystander? guard?)

2. Figure out what equipment is going where. You've got a lot of gold tied up in unclaimed items. Also this includes any additional shopping.

3. Come up with your plan for attacking the King of Spiders.

1. Yes, Kyra plans to be there along with the rest of the hoi polloi. Somewhere on the sidelines maybe, but not too far from the action? But maybe we can work out some kind of a plan before that with Batman, I mean Blackjack?

2. Other than the identify scroll and the book collection Kyra does not really care what happens to the rest of the stuff. We can also keep the spellbook for now, I guess, until we figure out how to make more cash out of it.

3. I'm hoping we will not do this right now. We know that his ships are being watched by the hellknights, so if we try anything funny we might have to deal with them as well. Of course, they might approve of our actions. Or not.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Re: Buyers
We ought to sell the spellbook to a wizard or apprentice studying either necromancy or researching golems.

Re: Poisons
I don't like using them much. This type of poison might be more useful to the Field Marshall (Cressida) for taking perps down non lethally.  Let's sell it to her.

Re: Plans

1) I plan to be in the crowd to help keep control. If I manage to get either Blackjack's or Orsini's aid, I might be helping a jailbreak.

2)If Kraw is allowed to keep the Studded Leather +1, he turns over his MW Chain Shirt, either to sell or to replace someone else's outdated armor. Once we have figures for what can be sold, Kraw needs to get some added tools for his trade.

3) I have no plans to go after the King of Spiders. At least, not until I've had a chance to research him. I'm betting that someone who works for him, possibly at the brothel, wants to get out from under his thumb, and might be willing to part with damaging information.

Must admit that I/we do not really have an in character reason to go after him.  Would still love to go after him if we do find one.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

I'm fine doing shopping and such OOC unless there is a reason to do it otherwise. If you guys want some scenes where you can breath and do some character development I'm all for drumming up some "slice of life" stuff. Up to you.

RE: Blackjack
Nobody knows who Blackjack is, nobody even knows of someone who knows who Blackjack is although the rumors run wild. What few know but Kyra with her special attunement to the city knows is that it is possible to send a request his way. By leaving a scroll wrapped in black string in an alley next to the Laughing Wave Inn is rumored to be a way to get a message to Blackjack. It isn't reliable but it does seem to have a bit more weight to it than typical Blackjack speculation and gossip.

RE: Special Customers
If you want to sell to a special customer there are ways in which to do so. First to find one would be a typical gather information check if you don't have one in mind already. Once you do have one in mind you can choose your approach: Diplomacy, Bluff, or Appraise. This represents friendly negotiations, fast talk high pressure sales, or portraying one as an expert to properly appraise it (i.e. This is worth this much because of X, Y and Z.) The NPC will pick a method as well depending on their skills/personality/relationship to the player and then we will proceed in a contested roll. While you might never get full price you might be able to do far better...or far worse, than half. If the roll goes poorly you are expected to sell even at a worse price as they have convinced you to do so. You can override it but it will take a hit to their relationship with you and good luck ever trying to sell to them again as you'll have earned a reputation as a poor merchant.\

RE: Moving on
I will move the story forward tomorrow so wrap up anything else you'd like to do/say before the execution.

RE: The King of Spiders
Again it is up to you if you want to attack him or not. I'm fine either way :D

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Ok, I am taking the x5 Blue Whinnis poison vials (I am not sure how we are dividing loot. If need be I can reimburse the party the 300 gp for them)

I would like to buy the following:

Tanglefoot Bag, Antitoxin, Antiplague, Master Work Backpack (200 gp total)

If we do have downtime, I would like to teach my Raven some tricks.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

May I suggest we value out the loot list at sell values? Add up total value and divide by party members. See if the value of the items we want is less than our share. If not, pay back the difference.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

This is something we used in a different campaign. Not saying we need to use this, but just to give an idea

Raven Company

All members of the company participating in the expedition are entitled to an equal proportion of the loot acquired.

The following items will not be considered as part of divisible loot and the value of these items will not be deducted from the individual shares:

Any healing item used on company members during or as a result of actions: scrolls, potions, wand charges.
Any improving (buffing items) used on company members during or before actions: scrolls, potions, wand charges.
Ammunition or Alchemical items used by members during action or exploration.
Other items as deemed by a a majority vote of company members.

While on expeditions any items found can be used by members for the benefit of the company, but will not be considered theirs proportionally until loot division takes place.

Loot division:
Each found item will be examined and its sales value will be assessed.
The total of all assessed value plus any found coins will be calculated. Money used for healing and to purchase items or fees will be deducted from this total. The remaining total is to be divided by the number of active company members (individual shares). The total distributed to each shall be equal to this amount either as items, cash or company credit.

Each member can use some or all or their share (plus any additional fund that they may have) to purchase specific items from among the loot items at the item sales price. Any items left (unwanted by company members) will be sold.

In the even that a found item is worth more than a share of an individual, the item maybe given to a single member on credit as voted by the company.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

I'm fine with whatever you guys come up with. Here's what we have to deal with:
 105   Wand of Acid Splash (28 charges)
  10   Alchemist's Fire
1980   Wand of Ghoul Touch (44 charges)
 151   MW Dagger
 300   Robe of Bones (3 figures)
 400   Necromancer's Spellbook
 350   Amber necklace
  11   Silver Dagger
 587,5 Ugly studded leather armor +1
  12,5 Scroll of Identify
  75   Scroll of Command Undead
 300   Books on disease and plagues
 300   Blue Whinnis poison x5
1000   Ring of Protection +1
  20   Small-sized Shortswords x4
 500   Small-sized Repeating light crossbows x4
-----
6102
This assumes we just sell the spellbook without bothering to look for someone that may pay more, that the price of the ugly armor is not reduced because of how damn ugly it is, and that the price of the robe of bones depends solely on the number of remaining figures.

Of these, Kyra would like Books on disease and plagues, Scroll of Identify, and Aclhemist's fire I guess, for a total of 322,5 gp.

But Kyra also spent a lot of the party credit with the guard on consumables. And there's the matter of the wand she uses, I can't remember if it was bought from party funds, or by Kraw. No idea how any of that affects the calculations, if at all.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

If we use the distribution system above:

 105   Wand of Acid Splash (28 charges)
 151   MW Dagger
 300   Robe of Bones (3 figures)
 400   Necromancer's Spellbook
 350   Amber necklace
  11   Silver Dagger
 587,5 Ugly studded leather armor +1
 300   Books on disease and plagues
1000   Ring of Protection +1
  20   Small-sized Shortswords x4
 500   Small-sized Repeating light crossbows x4


These would be added to those above if no one takes them and they are sold:
  10   Alchemist's Fire
1980   Wand of Ghoul Touch (44 charges)
  12,5 Scroll of Identify
  75   Scroll of Command Undead
 300   Blue Whinnis poison x5

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Since Kraw will be exchanging his old armor to pick up the new one, might as well add it to the pile.

MW Chain Shirt 125

This will add up to just beyond 6000 (roughly), making each share about 1500 (again, roughly).
Looks like we will each be able to take the items we want without 'owing the Bank'.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Final cut will be: 1,525.5

Let me know what items you would like to purchase either "back" from the party or as new purchases. Given that you will have downtime I will bypass normal restrictions on purchasing specialized equipment and magical items. Normally there would be rolls and waiting periods while sellers were found or items were located and made available but again, I believe there is a sizable enough time skip that you can partake in downtime activities which can include purchasing specialized items at list price.

We can also incorporate the downtime rules if anyone is interested in setting up their own criminal organizations or taverns or shops.

From these, Kyra would like to keep Books on disease and plagues, Scroll of Identify, and Aclhemist's fire, for a total of 322,5 gp. I'll have to see what to do with the rest of Kyra's cut. I am still unclear on who bought the wand she is using exactly. Does she owe the party for it?

On the downtime rules, Kyra plans to make contact with some other witches (there's bound to be some around, right?) to get some new spells. Would witches also charge access to their spells like wizards would? Or could Kyra offer a spell exchange?

But before that, I'd like to try to contact Blackjack, see if he has any plans about the upcoming show, and how we could help if he does.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

I just hate the idea of spending on a +1 breastplate when I am going to need to get a mithral one sooner or later. And can't afford mithral yet.

I could get a ring of protection or natural armor necklace, but a magic weapon seems a better use of 2000 ish gold over a +1 to AC.

So, based on the system above Scroll of Identify and Aclhemist's fire would not cost you anything. The books would be 300 gp towards your share of cash.

My share would be +1 ring (1000 gp) and the rest in gp. The Poison would not cost me anything.


During the down time, I would like to teach my raven a few tricks.

Do you allow Retraining https://www.d20pfsrd.com/basic...-options/retraining/ during downtime? If you do, I would be interested in training hit points.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

That 1525,5 gp cut does not take into account that consumables can be taken freely. If we go with that option, that would reduce total value by 322,5 gp (Identify scroll, Alchemist Fire, Poison), giving us each 1448,7 gp.

Sure take a 10.

Right now I am taking that list being passed around as the final. Once everyone chimes in about any items they are claiming I will finalize the sale and update GP totals.

For sake of cleanliness PM me your shopping lists for how you want to spend your loot.

edit: I know we are reaching the 1000 post limit so once the loot is figured out I will close this thread and open a new OOC.
