Drivan thanks Swillwort for all of his help and mentions the lamp lens', "... I was thinking about bringing them over to the library to research them, any suggestions on where I should start? That place can get you all turned around..."
The way I understood Ken's directions, Finnian is waiting at the Hanged Man for Vaunea to show up so we could go shopping together and do any other meta stuff before Emral wakes up and rejoins us.
Ken, if I'm not waiting for Vaunea, let me know so I can post my shopping stuff and join Drivan at the library or something.
Vaunea arrives at the tavern just as Finnian finishes up his morning meal. "Ahh, friend. Battle today." And with that, she takes a seat next to her friend, and begins cleaning her axe with a piece of the bloody hood that was over Olivia's head.
"So, where everyone?" Vaunea asks while looking around the room for the rest of her companions. "Ready for fight? Let's go."

Vanns! It's good to see your furry face this morning.
Finnian looks positively overjoyed to see his companion again. He stands as she takes her seat and Erlai squawks in delight.
"So, where everyone?" Vaunea asks while looking around the room for the rest of her companions.
Well, Emral is sleeping one off upstairs in our room. I think he'll be ready to go in time though. Drivan said something about needing to see Swillwort last night, and then he just wandered off. It was all I could do to get Emral upstairs and into the bed.
"Ready for fight? Let's go."
You know, I've been thinking that this leather, while fine for hunting outdoors, it's a little light for the fights we've been in. If the Tortoise thing is tough, I might need some tougher armor to match. Also, this dagger is great for hunting, skinning and all but fighting skeletons has me thinking I need something to smash with in my left hand. Like a hammer or somethun. Whadya say we go hit the bazaar on the way to Swillwort's? We can leave a note with the innkeep for Emral so he knows where we went.
Finnian settles up at the bar and leaves instructions for the innkeeper and help to pass along to Emral.
Let's go, dear.
Finnian lets Erlai hop on his arm and walks out into the streets, asking directions to the shops.
Vanns, I'm looking for something tougher than this leather and a hammer, something like what I used in the blacksmith shop back home.
Shopping
Finnian is looking for hide armor +1 and a throwing hammer. Do I need to make a skill check or RP anything? Ken do you just want to post the results? Moh, do you need anything? or do we proceed straight on to Swillwort's?
"Vaunea ready." Vaunea gets up from her seat and puts up her axe. Then, she heads out the door towards the weapons smith, following Finnian's footsteps.
Armor
I'm not sure what kind of money we have. I know that we have been talking about the things we currently own, but we need to figure out what we actually have, in gold, to pay for things. I've heard talk about getting better armor for Vaunea, which I'm in favor of, but I don't know the gold situation at all. I've kinda been confused with all the numbers thrown out there (ie...I don't understand the time gold or if we have it or how much it is and how much other gold we have).

Finnian pauses to let Vaunea catch up and walk alongside him.
Sorry, but it's a little much having you follow my footsteps down the street. Come, walk up here and tell me where you're from, my friend.
Armor
We have 1120gp in party gold. You also have 378gp in time gold. Finnian will only need 1gp from party gold. I think we are agreed to spend the lion's share on Vaunea's armor
Whatever money is listed on your character sheet currently belongs to your character. In other words, Vaunea has 387 gp of her own (not shared with the party).
The party (as a group) has 920 gold pieces, broken down as follows...
730 gp (from Swillwort and Marco)
A small chest containing 90 gp and a 100 gp gem.
The party also has 200 gp worth of residuum, which can be given to Swillwort to enchant an item or used by Drivan cast rituals. (If sold, the residuum only has a value of 40 gp.)
The party has the following items that are not assigned to specific characters...
Current unassigned treasure includes...
Cloak of Distortion +1
Potions of Healing (x2)
Scroll of Disenchant Item
Does that make it any clearer?
Shopping
If you want to roleplay, that's fine. I'm okay with you just posting the results.
Emral awoke one eye at a time, cracking open each lid to take in the blur as it slowly formed into the room at the Hanged Man. Finnian's form coalesced on the bed, curled up with Emral's Jacket, stuffed with pillows. As the ranger pawed it and spoke to it, the genasi raised his eyebrow and just watched, hoping the ranger wouldn't notice him.
When Finnian finally left the room, Emral blew a sigh of relief. Good idea putting that pillow in my jacket, love. I like Finnian, but he's not my kind of cuddly! he said to the girls lying to either side of him. He winked at the strumpet whose bossom he'd autographed, and at the cute nerdy girl from the crowd the day before. Groggy as they were, he put aside some coin to cover a nice breakfast for them. Best fan club ever, girls! I'll see you later; take your time, the room's paid up.
Emral looked at the jacket Finnian had been cuddling and grimaced. hmmm... y'know, maybe I'll just go get a new one. Oh, wait, I've got one on order!
with that, he grabbed his important effects and headed to Swillworts for his new armor.
Drivan bids Swillwort farewell and thanks him for his help, taking his research notes and heading to the library. As he heads out of the house he uses a little magic to conjure up a room full of roses for Annie, hoping that she sees them before they dissapear.
-360gp - Hide Armor +1
-30gp - Throwing Hammer
+378gp - from time gold
+6gp - from leftover starting gold
+5gp - sells leather armor on trade for the hide
+1gp - from party gold
=0gp - Finnian has zero cash at this moment
Hey! This hammer is pretty close to the one that I used back at the blacksmith shop, but a lot sturdier, and the weight is balanced a bit different. Should be a bit better than this dagger for a fight.
Vanns, you ready to go to Swillwort's and find Drivan?
I updated my equipment list (but not my attacks and AC yet). Should I keep a running list of credits and debits under the treasure section to show how I arrived at my gp total? How is that handled?
Ken, I updated the sheet with the new purchases if you want to take a look.
Welcome Back!
I like the unassuming entrance that you made back into the thread, FiTD. How was the wedding? You really can't just come back and not provide a little report.
If we want to be thorough about it, my own best option is probably quickhit braces that grant an extra 1d6 damage each time Finnian hits twice. If Finnian expects to hit 50%, then he can expect to hit twice 25% of the time. So my best option is to get 1d6 damage once every four rounds. That costs 1000gp.
I think keeping Vaunea alive longer is worth more than that extra damage. If we want to consider other options, I think the others should post their best option for 1000gp and see what we come up with so we can weigh choices.
Emral walks up the front steps of Swillwort's house, avoiding a puddle of what appears to be former chamberpot contents. He knocks at the door, and gives it a solid knock (one two three).
ooc
Ok, I'm back. I'm watching a film with the Mrs, who's sick right now.
I'm going to take Arcane Spellfury, as it'll make it easier to pound on baddies when I hit one. heh. Unsure of the power, tho.
iplay4e: I like it. I'll have to load it through. what, I use the CB and it copies it?
I would just go for the Staff of Light otherwise which would do 1+radiant vulnerability to all undead in the area around me. But I think that Vaunea's armor is more important!
OOC
iplay4e is a cool idea but not a big fan of the way the UI is setup, I'd be more tempted to just load the PDF version of my character sheet and have it posted online. Only thing is that it isn't easily editable... Someone should create an iplay4e type of website that utilizes the character sheet and just updates that with the new information. Oh, and yes FitD you just save your CB info and upload it into iplay4e.
The DM (me!) performs your information and social rolls in secret. (Why? Because it makes it easier to mess with your heads. I know. I'm a bad person. Just tell me what the bonus is, and I'll make the roll with my Real Life (tm) dice.)
Cool. Can I make my attack rolls with my real dice? You just give me the AC I need to hit and I'll tell you what I rolled.

Isn't that part of what IC is for? rolling lots of dice that are hard to manage in real life? 40d20 and so on? It doesn't bother me either way, but I thought lots of rolls would be *easier* on IC.
