OOC Discussion 3

[kalstone]

Solaine would insist that the healing be a group expense.

[Dogma]

Ranulf is good with this as well.

[barkman]

Same with Randolpho.
Any response to his venturer postings?

[Zorroroaster]

Same.

[drpete]

Re the venturer ad... we're still technically pretty early in your stay in Adamas, technically... about a day for these initial conversations (and advertising) and a day for Quinn to recover, then you are faced with the question of how long to stay in town and what to do there, if anything else. So far, there's this advertising for a venturer, and Quinn is curious about guns and curious about the spider cult.

Anything else anyone wants to do?

There was some interest in IDing the magic items, but to magically ID them, that takes a fair amount of time (a couple weeks, maybe, and costs at least 1000 gp). Randolpho's mentor didn't seem interested in doing it for free, though he would take the money on delivery. You can also hire a sage who might be able to "recognize" items without magically identifying them.

There might be something else you want to hire... mercenaries to guard the tower, maybe? You guys can, if you want, develop that property into an actual "domain" with some additional expenditure, if you want, as well.

[kalstone]

I think you've said this before, but just to clarify, if we continue to use the items we will eventually learn their properties right?

[drpete]

If you use stuff that gives a bonus or an ability, sure. Like, it you have a +2 sword, I'll tell you it's at least +1 when you need a 1 bonus to hit or to achieve the damage you got, and a +2 if you need a +2.

Stuff that needs a particular action or code word to activate is harder. You can identify what it is with magical engineering if it's fairly common, but it won't have details. Loremastery will identify stuff like the flametongue swords, stuff that is famous for some reason.

So, the wand you can possibly figure out what it is with magical engineering, but you'll probably need to hire a mage if you want the code word and charges. The eagle brooch and masks, who knows?

[drpete]

Ok, folks. What would you like to do next? We have everybody healed up & levelled up (though Torgyr needs to do another lvl, due to his extensive spending on his debt). Randolpho has found a venturer, if he wants him. Thus, if you want to do something, let's figure that out.

The default would be go back to Dwimmermount.

Hire something else?

Pursue the spider cult.

Follow the treasure map.

Look for Torgyr's dad...?

Other stuff?

These trips to civilization can drag, unless there's something you want... so let's get doing

[Zorroroaster]

I vote to head back into the mountain, but could be convinced otherwise if folks have some ideas.

[kalstone]

I'm ok with heading back.

[drpete]

ok, so... we need to redo the treasure split with the 350 for healing taken out.

Still waiting to hear if you're hiring that Venturer, and what you want him to do...?

Without further input, I'll assume you're heading back to Muntberg at the earliest opportunity. Galen is, again, being held back in Adamas by his superiors.

[monayuris]

I would vote for Dwimmwrmount.

But I will go with the group.

[kalstone]

So 1200 gp - 350 gp / 6 PCs = 1141 gp 6 sp per PC roughly.

[Stirling]

Quinn already posted IC that he would lay the whole amount if 325gp for the healing service, thus we all have +1200 gp each.

Quinn has ordered 3 flasks of holy water from the church @ 25gp each.

Apart from that he is ready to set off. No support for the Adamas investigation into the spider cult then?

[barkman]

Randolpho is pretty happy to hire the venturer if no one else suitable comes in over the week. He'd like to get some glassware, including a large 10 gallon glass amphora type container. He may just want to fill it to toss at his mentor....

He's down for back to dwimmermount.

To some extent, the question is whether this is a quick 1-2 day visit to Adamas for healing, or if you are staying a week or more. Someone answers the ad quickly, but there may be more coming. You'll only know if you guys hang out.

if you are hanging out waiting for the Venturer ad to give you more choices, what else do you guys want to do? Investigate the spiders, party more, fast forward (paying upkeep and advancing the clock) or...?

Everyone has gone so quiet. Let's wrap this up... you want a giant *glass* amphora...? That'll be much more expensive than the pottery ones you guys saw with oil in them....

[Stirling]

Quinn all for staying a few days in Adamas. Probably couple of days just to heal up. We could try to find some cult leads and if nothing turns up move on. Dwimmermount ain't going anywhere and the tower is still being built.

[Dogma]

My vote is to return to Dwimmermount though I'm not against looking into the cult if that is where people want to go.

[kalstone]

I vote to go back.

[Zorroroaster]

I also vote to return.
