I think I appraised the ring. Javell we need a full loot list posted with total sell value then divided by 4. As for the ring, if it wasn't appraised then we'll need to make rolls on it.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Gonna have to wait 'til tomorrow. Long day at work and can barely stay awake. For some reason they want to put the screws to us on Monday's now.

Will have more time tomorrow.

@DM: Alazandaru appraised Book 1 and the Medallion successfully. Could I get those values from you, bud?

And is there a cost for guards uniforms and/or Sergeant's uniform(Blackerly's)? And Blackerly's key ring? Or is this stuff considered throw away stuff?


King of Talingarde

Book 1 is 75gp
The medallion is 125gp
The class ring is 250gp
The monetary value of the other items are by themselves worthless.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looking at the discussion about the current party setup, I can arrange for another character (or two) to join up. This is ultimately up to the four of you if you want me to recruit or not. I'm fine running with four or going back up to six.


Not in use

On the party size, I'm happy any which way - so I'll be unhelpful and abstain from the vote :P


HP 45/45, AC- 18, Touch- 14, Flat- 14, CMD- 21, Fort- +6, Ref- +9, Will- +2, Percep- +7, Init- +4

Dammit, I was going to do the same but two abstains aren't particularly useful either.

My vote would be to stay as a 4 right now- with an option to recruit someone in if we're really feeling the lack of a dedicated caster in a level or so.

Sovereign Court

But no strong preference really. I wouldn't mind an extra person, 6 is probably too many.


Female Human Fighter (Two-Handed) 1

Normally I'd be plenty happy with 4, but currently we are rather heavy on the melee and lacking in the casting department. I still wouldn't mind looking for a divine spellcaster of some sort to help round us out.

Sovereign Court

Yeah your probably right. I'd like to beg for an Oracle rather than a Cleric but that is just personal preference (i've been overexposed to the 'token cleric' in too many games).

Is the Advanced Race Guide going to be an allowed source? Will any retcons be allowed?

Not necessarily wanting any. Just want an FYI request.


King of Talingarde

I'm pretty loose with Retcons when new sources come out, as long as it isn't anything extreme, like changing your race entirely. Just let me know if you see something.

And I'm fine with the ARG as well.


King of Talingarde

When you finish with the loot distribution, let me know.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

I won't abstain. :) I vote for a 5th. I think 6 is a bit much.

The only issue I have with a cleric is that all he can channel is negative energy. Which would pretty much force him to learn nothing but cure light spells.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Cudgels are just clubs, correct?

And everything will be sold for half, correct? I know weapons and armor are, but I'm not sure about stuff like the books, medallion, etc..


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

What was the appraise value for Book 3 again? We did appraise that one, right?

By the way, thanks for those other values KM.


King of Talingarde

Weapons, armor, that type stuff is half value.

Art objects, jewels, gems go for full. So the medallions, the books, they sell for the listed price.

The cudgels are clubs.

The third book is 250.

Liberty's Edge

If built right, a witch could make a much better healer than an evil cleric. That or an Oracle might be our best bet.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Thanks, KM.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Okay, I got 1095.25 apiece. This ".25" bit I'm guessing is silver? I really don't know. But I do know it's 1095g.

Now, this includes that alchemy set. I'm guessing we were hauling that monstrosity around? I also sold the chainmail. I completely forgot about it slowing me down. Gonna get something lighter and masterwork.

I only sold the items with amounts next to them. I didn't sell anything that has a name next to it, so, if y'all want to sell any of that stuff you're gonna have to tell me.

Edit: Except for the noble outfits that I think I remember Bostarg saying he no longer wanted. If this is wrong, Bostarg, let me know.


Not in use

Yep - Bostarg relinquished his claim on the noble outfits when he found out he's getting properly sized clothes for free. So they can be freely sold and split.

CLW wand is a must, and I'm perfectly willing to layout for the bulk of it myself.

Bostarg's Partial List:
Travelling Desk (c/w paper, parchment and ink to serve as MW tool for Forgeries) - 55gp
MW Studded Leather - 175gp
Buckler - 5gp
Rapier - 20gp
Light Crossbow - 35gp
2 x Quarrels - 2gp
Disguise Kit - 50gp
2 x Wooden Holy Symbol - 2gp
Spell Component Pouch - 5gp
2 x Moonrod (from ARG if allowed) - 20gp

Still collating, but I find it useful to lay down thoughts in writing for reference


King of Talingarde

@Bostarg, Moonrod is fine by me.

@Javell, is that just the sold items total, or are you including gold in it as well? Or is that each share? Just curious.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

What I did was total all the items sold, plus all the gold we found and divided by 4.

The total was around 4300g, roughly.

You can look at the loot on Morthos's profile and any item with a value next to it was sold. Plus I added all the gold to that. The armor/weapons amounts are half cost amounts.

I can get you the exacts numbers if you want.

And if you feel like some of those items we wouldn't be able to sell or just flat out shouldn't be carrying, let me know and I'll redo it. I want to be as fair as possible.


Not in use

King Mark - this is a slightly more delicate question, but would it be possible to get a copy of The Word of Mephistopheles as I referred to in my original backstory? In essence it's only a book that details the worship of Mephistopheles (so no mechanical effect) - but due to the book burning and what not it's likely rare.

From memory, the slaves are only buying from the local town - correct? - so would it be possible to approach Tiadora / Thorn for a copy? I have no issue RP'ing that request if you'd prefer to handle it that way.


King of Talingarde

@ Javell, My concern was it seemed abit low, if that was the total for everything. It's fine.

@ Bostarg, I'd be fine with the book.


HP 45/45, AC- 18, Touch- 14, Flat- 14, CMD- 21, Fort- +6, Ref- +9, Will- +2, Percep- +7, Init- +4

I'm only holding onto the last potion of CLW we have right now for convenience. Honestly, I think Beatrix should have it.

I thought we appraised book 2?

Edit: I've already rolled for it and failed. It'll have to wait until next level.

CLW wand is definitely something we should invest into. I recommend we all take the hit to our shares- 187.5GP less each and we'll have the out of combat healing covered. I'm up for it and I know Bostarg is.


HP 45/45, AC- 18, Touch- 14, Flat- 14, CMD- 21, Fort- +6, Ref- +9, Will- +2, Percep- +7, Init- +4

Shopping done. Mostly mundane gear, a couple of masterwork kukris and a pile of scrolls and potions. I marked off 187.5GP in anticipation of my share towards a wand but can just as easily put it back or work something out if Javell and Beatrix don't like the idea of a four way wand.

Generally, Alazandaru will now be armed with the quarterstaff, wearing a pair of cestus', with two daggers in his wrist sheaths (not gold-plated sadly) and two kukri's sheathed by his hip (or hidden on his body).

Liberty's Edge

Wand is fine with me. I'm still hoping for a healer of some sort as our 5th but even if we do having a wand wouldn't be amiss. I'm still working on upgrading to level 2 - it's been a crazy couple of weeks. I'll pull together what equipment I want and post it as soon as I'm done - but I'm sure it won't be much other than a breastplate and masterwork greatsword.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

I'm good with the wand.

And the amount I have doesn't include the 200g that KM gave us. So technically the total everyone should have is 1295g.

Edit: I still have to go through items as well. Will get that done as soon as possible.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

I was just thinking, for some reason I recall a conversation about this spellbook: Richter’s Tome of Arcane Armament (Level 3 Universalist)

Were we gonna hold on to that or was selling it the idea? I did put it in the sell list just so you know. If I wasn't suppose to, then all we have to do is take away 87.5g from each of ourselves.


HP 45/45, AC- 18, Touch- 14, Flat- 14, CMD- 21, Fort- +6, Ref- +9, Will- +2, Percep- +7, Init- +4

It was to be sold. Only useful to us if an of us were going Wizard really.

I remembered about the 200GP myself only after i'd made all my purchases lol.


King of Talingarde

Odd, it's showing Morthos just posted in the gameplay thread, but I see no post. Does anyone else see one?


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Mwk Agile breastplate(APG); Mwk heavy steel shield; potions, mundane gear.

Forgot to sell my regular shield, so, that'll be 2.5g extra for everyone. Unless I'm too late and we need to wait until the next time.


King of Talingarde

Naw, as soon as everyone's done with their purchasing, I'll do an ingame post about it, and then it's too late, (insert maniacal laughter here).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If there's anything special you all want to do during these three days, remember to let me know. Otherwise as soon as the item game is done with, I'll finish up any ongoing RPs and move the story along.

I am pretty much done with shopping unless anyone has some suggestions on how to disperse the remaining gold I've got.


Female Human Fighter (Two-Handed) 1

This week has been super hectic at work - both my boss and coworker are out so I've been pretty much holding down the fort by myself - which means I haven't really had time to work on my character at all. Please bear with me and I'll try and get it finished quickly.


King of Talingarde

I know how days like that go. Don't sweat it too much, life takes priority. Just let me know when you're done. And when it all comes down to it, remember the words of Dane Cook, "Thanks for the candy bar."

Gives Beatrix a candy bar.

Lol! Aw man that cracks me up.

Bostarg, some level 1 utility scrolls wouldn't go amiss. Plenty of goodies on the Bard spell list.

Made a change- gave Alazandaru the Dual stat boost at the expense of Skilled and the Bonus Feat. Lost Dodge. Updating statblock shortly.


King of Talingarde

Acceptable.


Not in use

Ten Utility Scrolls:
2 x Alarm
Erase
Horn of Pursuit
Innocence
Invigorate
Magic Mouth
Silent Image
2 x Undetectable Alignment

2 x Scroll cases takes 252gp, leaving me with 24.5gp for spending money


King of Talingarde

Making some revisions to the previously entered seating chart. Will explain in a bit.


King of Talingarde

I will be starting the dinner party shortly (drafting the post now). Haven't heard from Beatrix on it yet, so if he wants to be there, fine, if not also acceptable. Just a heads up when you have a chance Count Buggula.


King of Talingarde

As I was typing up the second portion of the Dinner Party introduction, I realized I had a cranial/rectal moment.

Count Buggula/Beatrix, instead of doing the standard recruitment, it was recommended to me to bring in another player directly, Joana. I spoke with her via PMs, and she submitted a character I accepted. This was with direct recommendations from both Javell DeLeon and Alexander Kilcoyne (and indirectly from Mark Sweetman).

I mention this as normally I would bring it up to all players before accepting a new player. I am realizing that I did not do this at this moment, for which I would like to offer apologies for my indiscretion.

That said, Joana has submitted a character that will fill the currently identified gaps in the group makeup, which I am currently intending to introduce in the dinner party. I hope this is acceptable to you.

If this is not acceptable to you, let me know and I will make every effort in my power to rectify the situation. I would once again like to offer my apologies for not speaking with everyone before accepting a new player.

Liberty's Edge

Haha, no worries. Javell actually PM'd me about it as well, so I already knew more or less what was going to happen and gave my approval.

I appreciate you're worrying about it - but in this case everything's fine. I'm not half as evil as Beatrix is.

Sovereign Court

With respect to Count, we did ask her to be a competent healer :).

Going to go bug the Paizo staff again. People not seeing updated posts in campaign threads is really, really annoying.


Female Human Fighter (Two-Handed) 1

Ok, finally got all leveled up - hopefully correctly. I sold my chain shirt and old greatsword for new armor and sword. Taking out the share for a wand of clw, that leaves me with 423 GP.

Sovereign Court

If you didn't already include it, remember the 200GP we were outfitted with by the Cardinal and cronies.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

BOOM! I just now realized that Morthos busted out with post #666! This dude was just born to be evil, bay-bee! ;)

I freaking love this thread. :)


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Meh. It's hard to be a late introduction to an evil group. Beatrix is all "You're not showing enough cleavage to be important because if the mirrorverse episodes of Star Trek have taught me nothing else, it's the more visible flesh, the more evil the heart," and Bostarg and Alazandaru are trusting no one and keeping their cards close to their vests. If it weren't for the self-obsessed, arrogant blowhard who can't shut up about his grand destiny, we'd all just be eating in awkward silence.

I mean... carry on, Morthos! Good job!

He's totally the one who's going to be prone to the dangers of monologuing, btw. "Silence, simpleton, and let me tell you my plans so you can appreciate how clever I am before you die!" Fortunately, Alazandaru will just go ahead and knife the guy while Morthos is talking anyway.


HP 45/45, AC- 18, Touch- 14, Flat- 14, CMD- 21, Fort- +6, Ref- +9, Will- +2, Percep- +7, Init- +4

Hey, Alazandaru's going through a lot of changes and internal monlogues right now, stop bullying him! :)

Truthfully, would have posted more interaction by now, just been very busy.

Rofl. Your lack of skin had nothing to do with Bea's dismissal of you - it was more the fact that she thought you looked dainty. And the way you kinda came in quietly made her think you weren't much better than a servant. Beatrix is...a little bit of a jock I think.
