Server closed; lots of plot at the end, make sure to read the log (hopefully attached)

1 Retriever dismantaled, CR 11, 390 xp each for Derrel, Jason, Elorin, and Kaylin; 225 xp for Kibin.
1 Maralith killed, CR 17, 3120 xp each for Derrel, Jason, Elorin, and Kaylin; 1800 xp for Kibin.
1 twice double Half-Dragon Troll, Advanced, CR 18, 4680 xp each for Derrel, Jason, Elorin, and Kaylin; 2700 xp for Kibin.

Lots of loot, too, and a spirit bonded to Derrel's sword.

And 2000 xp to everyone for traps overcome and plot points past.

Which gets Jason up a level... hmm.... also Derrel, and anyone else in the party that isn't a special case (Kibin) and hasn't spent XP on items.

Hmm... new feat for Jason.... what to take... what to take.... leadership for a barbarian friend to possess and equip (and spellcast through, for things requiring expensive MC or focuses)? Heighten Spell, to increase DC's? Hmm.... worry about it when I'm a little more awake....

Well now, that's a lot of xp! That puts me over the mark for 14th level with 3198 to spare. Will we have some downtime next session for crafting/hiring crafters to spend our loot? Or will we have to settle for seeing what we can get with trade-ins?

Jack Simth · #**964** September 25th, 2005, 03:26 AM

Oh, Ye Olde Shoppe of Magicke has a portal to a quick-time plane they let crafters use, both their own crafters and others who are willing to part with 100 gp (it's a permanent portal.... doesn't cost them much) that's highly regulated to the point where crafting is ALL that happens there.

Shucks, one could probably convince Jason to come along, and help craft scrolls of spells the Wizard doesn't know yet.... long as it doesn't cost Jason anything....

douglas · #**965** September 25th, 2005, 03:39 AM

Quite a handy little place they've got there. I will definitely be making use of it just as soon as we get back there and figure out how much my share of the loot is. Going by the wealth by level table, I should have about 40000 to spend.

Let's see, now what should I get for my new spells known? I get to pick one 4th, one 5th, one 6th, and three 7th level spells, and switch out any one spell of 5th level or lower. So many choices...

Edit: Can this plane also be used for copying spells from scrolls to a spellbook?

Jack Simth · #**966** September 25th, 2005, 03:52 AM

Ummm... sure.

Careful, though - you need to bring rations for the trip, and the time you are there (assuming you still eat food... unlike, say, Jason, who is Undead, and Elorin - your character, Douglas - who has a Ring of Sustenence.)

Meh, if I was still a kobold I would multiclass into a sorcerer... I think Kaylin knows to let me handle the chests from now on. As for the axe... I think the negative levels are only given when you wield it in your hands, not if you carry it around. And the negative levels are only given when you touch it. As for the alignment.. I wonder if it's possible to use a helmet of opposite alignment on it.

It's actually quite clearly spelled out in the rules... but I ain't sayin. Not until someone passes an appropriet Knoweledge roll, at least.

... assuming it worked, for the moment, that would just make it LG, so only the Paladin could use it without repercussions... and intelligent items don't like to share....

I just lucked out on rolling my hp for the level up - see attached screenshot.

Jack Simth · #**970** September 25th, 2005, 05:04 PM

Well, Jason rolled a 3.... but it's hard to hurt him, so it doesn't much matter.

Congrats.

Hmm... leadership, or metamagic...

Well... Jason could you some body....

Yeah.... go with leadership... and a kind interpertation of ECL/leadership...

Nah ... too much work ... Improved Initiative... now that's tastier.
