Demonmoose's Iron Gods AP Blue (Inactive)

Game Master GM Demonmoose

Moving around Scrapwall, you've all seen a strange flying shape in the air. Astra recalled some kind of mutated manticore that is preying on the town (slowly) and has a nest somewhere.

Can she read its CR in the fine print?

I guess we'll be hunting the manticore then.

Yeah let's do that. But don't let the distraction make you forget, we still need to do some enchanting.

We should probably load up on ranged weapons since manticores fly.

Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!

Are they evil?

I've got the crappy hand crossbow, but yeah, a strength would be nice for ranged.

Knowledge (arcana) on Manticore: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18 Are they evil?

So to get a bow we'd need to see if any of the Hawks/Redtooths has one to spare.

Liz does have wands of Enfeeblement,Scorching Ray and Exhustion that can really take the starch out of the Manticore

I'm pretty damn useless at range. I could buy a shortbow but that's pretty much it.

Well what exactly do you want? I mean we are pretty ready on getting into the final part but you won't unless you get crafting time.

So I suggest to Demonmoose that we just fast forward and let Astra make her items or we'll be here for quite a while.

I'm just letting you know my capabilities for the manticore fight. And certainly I am willing to move on to the final part without preparation if that's what the group wants, that's not a problem. It was just a suggestion.

Astra knows they are generally lawful evil.

How many days do you want to rest and get ready? Remember you are in a big junkyard town, so the longer you stay the more unpleasant it is. You are likely not attacked during this time as your scrapworth is high.

The bad guys also might be getting stronger and more prepared, the longer you delay.

Let us hunt the manticore

Okay. No preparation or rest then.

You head to the southern part of Scrapwall to a strange cave that is connected to the filth and scraps that make up the town. Hiking up, you find a passageway that leads to a nest made of iron, scraps, and rusted chains.

Treasure found,

Sorry Mr.GM for destroying your manticore so quickly.

Does anybody else want any armor or weapons enchanted? I'll do it at cost. 1000gp for masterwork weapon to +1 and 500gp for masterwork armor or shield to +1.

I would, but I need to save up.

Well this is about survival, I don't think we can afford to scrimp here. How much would you need, I think I can lend at 0% interest.

I'm about 1k away from affording an Adamantine axe.

Well I could afford to lend 1k, but not the second 1k to get it enchanted. Your armor is all good then I take it? Elizabeth doesn't use armor, mine is already +1, I don't know what Syvlara's situation is?

Finding it is the problem too. An extra +1 to AC would get met 22 vice 21, which seems not huge, when I can heal myself.

Prefer to get to where hardness and dr/magic are overcome.

Point. It's entirely possible there is no adamantine greataxe in Scrapwall to buy in the first place.

Well, if nobody else wants anything then, we can get away with 1 rest day for Astra to do her sword, and we'd be good to go as far as I'm concerned.

Chakos trusts Astra, if she thinks it's best he get something enchanted then he'll go with it.

Eh, let's roll with just my sword, Elizabeth is getting antsy. ;)

I'll wait for Astra

I would have been happy with my armor getting an enchant, but it's alright. I'm sure I can have it done at another time.

Edit: Srry I lied. My armor is already +1 haha

How about your bow?

Also +1

Well, next time we level I can get us +2s then at least.

Why not now?

The creator's caster level must be at least three times the enhancement bonus

A requirement which can be waved by adding 5 to DC of the spellcraft check, which I'll wager is no problem at all for Astra.

So all NPCs chatted to and we are ready to head in to die horribly

Pessimist! I intend to die well!

I didn't know that. Huh.

Hey ho, getting better here.
We´re still level 5 right?

Indeed, and all healed up and such.

First time I draw my new sword is going to look really cool, and then I'll do a critical miss and run into a wall.

As an aside, what's the "haunted wreck?" Did we miss a side quest?

Ah, it looks like you did miss a side quest. It's okay, it's just ghosts and a crashed alien ship. Not a big deal. :P

Probably where all the good loot and the "advance to 6th level" trigger is!!

I wanna check that place before we leave Scrapwall. I don't like leaving loot behind. For all I know that's where my Headband of Intellect is buried. :b

I'm pretty sure it's charisma AND channeling.

I could make a headband for you.

Those things cost money! Money which we don't really have!

FYI. I'll be in town and able to play hard through Thursday. After that, the wife and I and our wee little nipper are going on a Disney cruise. Yes, it promises to be the most awesome vacation ever. Anyways, so I'll be out from 3 April - 12 April, and will be back up and running on the 13th.

If/when we finish the adventure, we can probably head back to Torch and sell all the items we still have in our pile and then do crafting/buying.

First, I appreciate the offer, but I can't.

If you do run Daughter's of Fury, my RPG Super Star entry from last year is in that module.
