    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne - Seven Days to the Grave

    Dj'han having been startled, the winds around him momentarily stir the loose shingles along the rooftop. Without pause, the young urchin reaches out as if to take hold of the air around him, windmills his tiny arms and sends the tumultuous wind gusting down towards Brindom and his attacker...

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne - Seven Days to the Grave

    Dj'han and Majenko approach the pile while moving discreetly along the rooftops lining the alleyway.

    Derogatory Term for Halflings

    Add me to the "halfling" is derogatory crowd. In addition: "fifty-percent-ling" "half-off-ling" "two-for-one-ling" "mini-me"

    Human Form Dragons

    I believe the thing to keep in mind when roleplaying a noble dragon is their agelessness and worldliness. Impressing/scaring/intimidating mere humans comes far too easily to them; by the time the dragon has reached the status of great wyrm it's probably had hundreds if not thousands of...

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne OOC

    Fair enough; so we keep both wands. Though, unless an NPC ally has been hiding some cleric levels or ranks in Use Magic Device, it'd seem the only characters who could use the wands would be Dj'hân and Brindom.

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne OOC

    I'd just like to point out that selling something for its regular price isn't undue profiteering; these wands do represent, at minimum, a costly investment of time and expensive resources after all. Hiking up the price above its usual cost to capitalize on the misfortune of others; now that...

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne OOC

    Right, but that doesn't address what should be done with the wands; save it, sell it, etc.

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne OOC

    That post doesn't address the issue of the wands of remove disease. There are many different viewpoints and levels of interest in regards to treasure. I've met players and GMs who are content to hand wave away all but the broadest aspects of character wealth as well as those who insist on...

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne OOC

    Nice to see you're still around Valthosian; I'd begun to wonder if you'd wandered off again. But saying that you agree with all major decisions doesn't help since, at the moment, we're currently debating what to do with a wand of cure disease. It'd be nice if others beside Neurotic and I chimed...

    Phylactery value?

    That'd be what I was thinking about. Thanks for the reminder. Hm. "1 gp to 1,000 gp", that's quite the spread... :erm:

    Phylactery value?

    Good analogy with the vorpal sword, though it does lead one to wonder what exactly is being bought with that king's ransom. Okay, so a simpler question: is there a puzzle box listed in some obscure 3.x equipment list for comparison? I seem to remember seeing one at some point...

    Phylactery value?

    In a recent adventure our party recovered a would-be lich's phylactery. It says in the Bestiary that it'd normally costs 120,000 gp to make one. Certainly some of that goes towards purchasing exotic components and such, but at least some of it has to be reflected in the construction of the...

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne OOC

    It'd seem strange to wait until after the plague has run its course to try and sell a wand of remove disease when there's little need or demand for it. People are dying now; now is when it's needed.

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne OOC

    We do have two wands of remove disease. Seems to me that we could keep the one with fewer charges for our own needs as they arise, but that we aren't likely to need the second wand's 50 charges. It does seem odd that Kroft gave such a badly needed wand to us rather than delivering it to the...

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne OOC

    Any opinions on the above? So do we count the two wands as being jointly owned by the entire party and simply use them on every sick person we cross paths with until they're used up or are we going to be more selective about who gets cured?

    Oh well... No one can accuse Majenko of not being charitable and generous. :angel:

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne OOC

    Dj'hân keeps investing his spare cash into renovating his liripoop; he's currently building a guest bedroom extension so he has little cash on hand. Majenko actually has more cash than Dj'hân in his hoard: 1,031 gold sails. He'd be happy to lend it to you for a reasonable 10% compounded...

    Including Majenko? Can he start taking class levels? :D

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne OOC

    That'd be doable, though it'd consequently reduce everyone else's share down to 402.5 gp; at least until he can pay everyone back the 319.5 gp he owes each of them. Ah... The wonders of fair equitable treasure division. Speaking of which, how are we to use our two wands of cure disease in the...

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne OOC

    Since they're worth more than his share, Manachan would simply have to offer up 1,278 gp of his own cash to the other party members to make up the difference.
