After you have all retuned from the various locations.... Ramney birngs you all together and says:
"The Harpers need you at this time... even if they don't realize it yet..."
"The danger is even more than I suspected..." he says mostly to himself.
"Not only do the Harpers need you.. but I need you. I have brought the following items for you and give them to you if you will accept Harper orders and work for me." Ramney starts to empty things out of his Haversack and gives them to each of you. With the glaring exception of Barr. "I have something else for you." He says with a serious tone.
Turning to Alteru and Tari. "I did not know that you two had become involved and so I regret I have nothing to offer you at the moment. I also suspect that you may have other pressing concerns with the Drow in Cormanthor if I am not mistaken, and thus this mission may or may not be your prime concern?" Alteru and Tari stare blankly at him... After a moments uncomfortable pause... he continues.. "But be aware that you would be most welcome to join up with this cause, but it would be understood if you cannot."
Addressing all of you again, he states.
"I will not be able to accompany you as you are aware there are many dire events taking place right now that I am going to be needed to assist with, but you will be able to contact me through by brother the potion maker that you rescued, for which I might add my family is greatly appreciative of, but I will come back through here as I can."
"So... What say you? Will you accept this offer from an old Harper trying to do the right thing in the world?"
He looks at you all to see if you have agreement on this... and then breaks a smile and says... "Of course, any treasure you obtain in the course of this assignment is yours for the keeping."
Assuming that you agree to Ramney's offer read below.
Okay.... here are the results so far from the review of the wish lists.
Lorin:
Your current gp value is approx 4500 gp to start off based on the stuff Pilin already has. Starting from there
The Haversack +2000 gp running total 6500 gp
The Cloak of Resistance +2 4000 gp running total 10500 gp
+1 Magical enhancement to Scimitar 2000 gp running total 12500 gp
(2) Scrolls of Magic Fang, Greater 375 x2 =750 gp running total 13250 gp
OR
Magic Fang, Greater cast permanently on Aon = 8,425gp running total 12,875gp
The math behind that? per the DMG
10gp X level of spell (5th Magic fang, Greater is a 5th level spell) X Caster level (11th) per PHB pg. 260, the minimum caster level to put permanency on Magic fang, Greater is 11th.=550gp
PLUS the XP cost of 1500 XP. per the DMG an NPC will charge 5gp per XP point expended in casting a spell. 5x1500=7500 gp
PLUS 1 Scroll of Magic fang, Greater= 375 gp Totaling 8,525 gp
(Now the other option would be a Scroll of Permanency, but one of those costs 10,125 gp, so you can see that would be 14,625 gp in character wealth so that could work as well, seeing as Ramney isn't 11th level or above that would be the more likely option PLUS the cost of a scroll of Magic fang, Greater 375gp.... so it's a bit over the wealth cap but if you want it we can do it.)
Choose between those two options! Items or Permanency on Aon of Magic Fang, Greater. Choose wisely.
NEXT:
Joel:
Your current gp Value is 1500 gp... wow no wonder you are struggling. You need more stuff! Magic Stuff! So let's go over your wish list...
Battleaxe, Holy 8310 gp cost. (you forgot to add in MW cost of 300 gp in your list, and you can't have a magical enhancement on a non MW weapon) This nice little addition to our clanking cleric would grant a +2d6 damage to all of evil alignment... talk about putting the smackin smite down on evil baddies!
Good choice! you might even put up more damage than the fighters... and about time! Granted! running total 9,810 gp
Talisman of pure good... cost...? Well it's a minor ARTIFACT no less so no gp value is assigned to it. I think this ones a bit above your pay grade.. so DENIED. Thanks for playing... next!
Boots of Striding and Springing 5500 gp... well given that you have a base move speed of 20 (4 squares)... due to that heavy full plate mail and a stinky dex is it? This would at least allow you to keep pace with the rest of the party.... Granted! running total is= 15310 gp.. Now yes that is over the 13k, but you've been running under the wealth levels for quite awhile now so I'm going to be generous... Tempus has favored you this day.
As to the other things on the list...
Bag of Holding Denied.
You've got nothing to carry anyway...
Candle of Truth Denied.
What? Don't you trust your Sense Motive ranks?
Dragonhide Plate Denied
Ooo.. close one here. If you could've told me what color you wanted it might've happened. Besides you need to kill a few more dragons and you can probably have one made up in the future anyway... Not that you guys would believe me if I said there were going to be any more dragons...(Biiiig Dragon!!!
)
Mithril Heavy shield Denied
What and ruin that really nice clanking noise that alerts all the monsters to the party coming? Now that wouldn't work for me.... besides with the other items... you're outta cash anyway!
NEXT!
Sara: Now what do you give to the girl with the ring of DM control? Whatever she wants, of course!
Okay... whatever she wants within the rules.... of course!
Okay... current gp value of Edynn is 2600 gp and I had you rank which ones on your list you wanted most and I was good with those choices so... in that order.
1 Headband of Intellect +2 4000 gp running total 6600 gp
2 Composite longbow of Frost 2700 gp running total 9300 gp
3 Wand of Magic Missiles (5th level) 3750 gp running total 13050 gp
Well we've gotten to the magic # and so everything else is a no go.
Denied on the Haversack... what've you got to carry anyway?
Denied on the necklace of fireballs.. you can cast your own anyways... right?
Denied on the Amulet of Natural Armor +2. I mean really... are you going to start mixing it up with the melee fighters? I doubt it!
NEXT!
Jared:
Alteru is already starting with a 9250 gp approx character wealth...
And NOT a single thing on your list wouldn't put you over the 13K limit by a long way. Thanks for playing... completely DENIED. Try again. You have approx 3750 gp to play with... I'm sure you can figure out something min/maxed to the hilt with that.. Good luck and let me know... and we'll see what can be done.
Tari; Hmmm 4th level and she has a gp wealth of 5700 gp approx. and a 4th level character wealth should be 5400 gp.. Ummm she's Done already.
Jared.... Also... based on what Scott chooses (see below) we may be radically altering your characters anywasy right? So let's see what Scott does and then we can assess your situation... If it's a new character class then 6th level with a 13000 gp limit and approval of items by the DM is where you'll be going... I have no doubt that you could whip a character up in no time flat... that is if you don't already have it!
NEXT!
Scott: I am happy to report that you got everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that you asked for on the wish list! The bad news? Well you didn't ask for anything....
Your current gp value is about 9900 gp so look over your options for about 3000 gp and we'll talk...
OR
You can revamp your entire class choice as your treasure...
I've been wanting to talk to you for a couple of weeks about Barr and what you envision for him and make sure you are happy playing the Bard character or if you'd prefer a different class. (Real Life has made that hard to get to you... my bad. sorry)
Here's the deal. If you don't like the Bard/Ranger class.. Jared and I have come up with some options for you from the PHB2 that you have first right of refusal on, that we thought you might like.... (and if you don't take them Jared probably will! He thought I was holding out on him on the one of them (Duskblade)...
) They are called the Duskblade or the other is the Beguiler. Duskblade is essentially Arcane/Fighter with some really cool abilities and lack of normal restrictions on armor. A beguiler is a essentially a Bard/Rogue with attitude and cool abilities. These two options would essentially be you keeping Barr in name but changing all 5 levels to one or the other... I have a PHB2 you can borrow to look them over in depth.
OR
I have one other alternative for you, you can take this option as your treasure.
I am not sure if you're interested in it. But Ramney is offering you to become a Harper and taking a level in Harper Scout/Harper Agent as your treasure.... (and those two stack well with the Ranger and Bard characters) .. as you're down behind everyone else in a level that might work well for you.. taking you to a Character Level of 6... or not. Now that leads in to the second part of this deal on this option. If you accept this...then you will also take on the mantle of 'Adventuring Party Leader'... (and if you went with the Duskblade option I would think that should be Barr too). The party leader is defined in PHB2 pg.48 and encompasses what I think the group is lacking... someone to solicit plan ideas and then choose amongst them what the party will do next.
By doing this it's a win/win/win as I see it. You get another level to make up for the lack of logs that has put you behind the XP curve and some cool PrC stuff to work in to your character. The party gets a leader to help give some direction as the magic items that Ramney is passing out are contingent on the group accepting Harper direction and leadership, and this gives me a Harper in the group to lead and direct.
Choose Wisely!
I am posting it all here so that everyone is aware of what I am thinking about... and if you take up the mantle of 'leader' that everyone is agreeable to it. So if anyone has concerns about this... let's talk it over.
Okay..... NEXT!
Jaren:
Azarr has a 20,000+gp amount...... Hmmm.. Let's discuss that....
Some of this is coming from the fact that Azarr is the pack animal for the party of treasure items and booty (no offense to betsy Scott!) So Ramney has also brought all of the items you've stored at the his place in Hap for you to sell in Ashabenford. This you have done and are disbursing the moneys to everyone in the party I assume. (whether you give some to Alteru/Tari and Edynn is up to you) The grand total of selling value is approx. 517 gp for the stuff listed in your items @ Ramneys.
The real culprits ae the Necklace of Adaptation at 9000 gp value and the Brooch of shielding at 1500gp Not to mention the Waraxe, dwarven +1 (Defending)at 8330 gp So... you could sell the Necklace for 50% (4500gp) and disburse that as well. And sell the Brooch of Shielding at 50% at 750 gp and disburse the funds as well ...
The Waraxe you might want to keep and as you and I have discussed you are thinking to swap it out? I could be amenable to having you swap it (instead of selling it at 50% and then having to buy something else, but you need to tell me for what exactly? My thought here is that Haunor.. The dwarven henchman of the potion maker would be so moved by Azarr's vigilance in guarding him whilst he was dead in the temple that he would give you his battleaxe (one more to your liking) as a token of appreciation and Azarr would give him the one he has now in like gesture, thus making you dwarven blood brothers as the ancient and sacred ritual of dwarven clans prescribes.
Let me know what you think, K?
As for the boots.. Well you can take your portion of the proceeds of the selling and see if you can get them... and we'll look at your Character wealth level after all of the above is hammered out, K?
Okay... I think that's everyone? Oh yeah... The DM needs some stuff... I wonder if I should get that new dragon mini........
by TheDM » Tue Dec 26, 2006 4:27 pm 
SO, here is my revised list, keeping in mind the current items I have.
