So, loot:

Quote:
+1 longsword.
+1 chain shirt.
+1 cloak of resistance.
300 gp worth of mundane equipment (armor, weapons, etc).
3 cure light wounds potions.
2 bandages of rapid recovery.
The +1 longsword can probably be sold. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tireas and Viktor probably don't need it.

The +1 chain shirt could go to Ilya or Tireas.

The cloak of resistance should probably go to either Zinovia or Tireas, or possibly Ilya (that's not very helpful, since all I've really said is "the paladin doesn't need higher saves").

I guess I would suggest giving Ilya the chain shirt and Zinovia the cloak, since Tireas has the ring already and it'd be nice to keep approximately equal in terms of item distribution.

The potions and bandages should probably be kept until we know who is joining our group from the recruitment thread, and thus how much healing we'll need to supply via magic items.

The mundane gear can obviously be sold.

Suggestions:

+1 Chainshirt to Tireas, take off ring and give to Ilya (ends up with both of us getting net +1 AC)
+1 Cloak of Resistance to Zinovia
Split the potions and bandages
+1 long sword and mundane gear goes to the magic gold funnel.

I'm starting to feel a bit stupid for taking weapon focus (katana). We're probably not going to find that many along the road. Maybe martial weapon proficiency would have been better (for using greatswords, greataxes, or falchions).

I agree with Blisstake's loot division. Probably the potions should go to melee people, and the bandages to ranged people, because melee people are more likely to need quick healing.

And hitpoints from the level up: (1d6)[2]

Tireas can certainly have the +1 chain shirt, but on second thought Viktor can have the Ring of Protection +1, since he actually uses his AC for our collective benefit.

I'm taking it that either you folks were all watching the election results or you're ready to move along. If it's the latter, say so and we'll get going.

Alright, new folks... I'm writing an IC post as we speak, so you'll be able to jump into things soon.

Until then, say hello and pick a text colour for your character's speech.

You can also talk about potentially having your characters know the others already.

Is Pink too light to read easily?

Would Magenta be better?

If you're looking for a pink-ish colour, I've found that Plum works better than the super-light Pink or the eye-searing Magenta. Totally your call though.

Magenta reminds me of RHPS.

Grigori, any thoughts on our characters knowing each other? We are setting out at the same time, maybe we are being sent by some specific interest?

Fireberd, I actually took the liberty of filling you guys in with a backstory reason. You can find that in the IC thread, which is linked in the first post of this thread. Go ahead and post there. And at any rate, if you're going to figure out a longer-term backstory connection, I think that can happen while we RP IC as well.

Katerina looks up from her back pack, the frustration was obvious. "Zinovia? How do you keep all of your paper and tomes straight?" Katerina turns her rucksack upside down, emptying the contents in a heap...

Is there a way to keep our threads up on the top so I can find them easily? :D

Oh, and Gnome is fine if you want to address me :) The irony, I *hate* gnomes as characters :lol:

Erm, I'm assuming this isn't actually something I should be responding to IC, because it isn't in the IC thread?

But to the other question, I just bookmark the threads in my internet browser so I can find it if it gets bumped down the forum too much.

Sorry Viktor's being so suspicious of the new guys. It's not personal, he just doesn't believe that you can ever be too careful

I've updated the tables in the first post to include our new characters, and put up a new exploration map. Believe it or not, you're pretty close to the end of the module!

Also, I should add, you've exhausted your last exploration path, so I'll need a new proposal before I can move you guys along.

Looking at the exploration map, I would say go and check/secure the gold mine. If we are to build a kingdom out here, a reliable source of income would be great...

From reading the IC thread, I'm guessing the area that's revealed is stuff that has been explored and secured already. We need to get the white spaces.

Here's my suggested travel plan. It takes us, very gradually, towards the kobolds, while also exploring all the parts of the northern Greenbelt that we haven't explored already.

Travel Plan: travel through E3-> travel through D3-> explore C3 -> explore B3 -> A3 -> A4 -> B4 -> C5 -> B5 -> A5 -> A6 -> B6 -> C6 -> D6 -> E6 -> F6 -> G6.

Alright, if another person or two chime in supporting that route, we can get things going.

When you're ready to finish with this conversation, just say something to the effect that your character is retiring for the evening, or just post here OOC.

??? and GNOME: Yeah, the explored areas of the map are the revealed hexes.

Also, now that Viktor has filled you in, you should definitely get up to speed on the campaign so far. It's fairly long, so you can take your time reading it. But you're going to be pretty confused otherwise.

Blisstake, RocketMan, Leviathan, Winterfell: Nobody's spending any of the gold you've accumulated since the beginning of the game I think the reason is because it's in a common pool, so people don't want to take away from that disproportionately.

I suggest that from here on out gold will be divided by character, and you can spend from your character's pool. That way you'll actually buy things.

I'm assuming that you'll give the letter you found on Islanei to Oleg (that's my none-too-subtle way of getting you up to wealth by level). If that's the case, you should have approximately 2,000 gp each to spend on stuff. Which brings me to...

Buying and Selling Goods at Oleg's Post

Oleg keeps a stock of pretty much any mundane item you might need. Masterwork weapons and armour is available frequently enough that we'll say you can buy it whenever you'd like.

Magic items worth 1,000 gp or less are available too. But for anything worth more than that, he'll need to send an order to Restov to acquire it. That'll take about a week's time.

Oleg will normally buy and sell at 50% of the listed price for an item. However, you're important enough in his eyes now that you can sell items for 75% of the listed price from here on out.

All right, let me make sure I've got this right. As of last count, we had 2,380gp total.

From the last encounter, we're adding

+1,725gp for the longsword (75% of its value)
+225gp for the mundane gear (75% of its value)
+6,000gp for the letter

That bring our total to 10,330gp Dividing that evenly among us (the four of us anyway. Future loot will be divided six ways) gives 2,582gp each. WBL is 3,000gp, but that includes loot we find, so we're actually well above that

I'll keep the current wealth updated after each encounter.
