(CSRHoD) CS's Red Hand of Doom [OOC]

[Arkhandus]

Warren will take the cloak of resistance +1 from the party loot, and he already has the bag of holding from there (he claimed it waaay back when, after some of the stuff following Vraath Keep, but never got moved to his character sheet).

Warren's using some of the party treasure to buy himself 2 Potions of Protection from Acid (5th-level caster), and 1 Potion of Water Breathing (5th-level caster). So, spending 200 platinum coins from the party's treasure, plus 25 of his own platinum coins. As far as I can tell, we haven't really been divvying up coinage, just keeping it in a general pile in the saddlebags or somebody's extradimensional space.

Warren's sheet will be updated in a minute with his current stats and gear at 7th-level.

XP-wise, I think the rest of the party has 21,635 XP, or 21,625 for Pender. I think. So enough for 7th-level.

There should be a Ring of Protection +1 in the party's inventory, unless Larian took it? It was from back in January or December, IIRC. Tyrla took the more recent Ring +1, and Warren took the most recent Ring +2. There's still a Headband of Intellect +2, a Rapier +2, and a Pearl of Power (2nd-level) in the party's inventory that haven't been added to the list yet. At least I haven't seen anyone post a claim to any of that treasure from the razorfiends, aside from Warren taking the Ring +2.

Also, y'know, I think we all keep forgetting about the Provisions Box that Siobhan crafted a while ago.

 

[Redclaw]

I'm sorry I missed putting those items on the list.

Larian took the Ring of Protection +1
He will also claim the headband of intellect unless there are any objections.
I'll add the rapier and the pearl to the party list until someone claims them.
I have removed the items we sold, as well as the platinum Warren used and gold Avril used.
Larian will suggest once again that Avril buy a scroll of water walk and/or waterbreathing, since we're headed into a swamp.

 

[Pinotage]

If nobody objects, Avril would like to claim the pearl of power (2nd).

Avril will also purchase a Scroll of Water Breathing for 375 gp. Larian, Water Walk is not a druid spell, but Siobhan could pick one up. Might be useful.

So noted. The pearl was not put on the list, and I took 37 pp and 5gp out of our coin. As for the Water Walk, I figured you could purchase it and Siobhan could use it, but Water Breathing should be good enough.

Creamsteak, what's the terrain like underwater? Can she get an idea of how deep the lake is? How many levels does the bell tower have and how many are above the surface? I guess I'm trying to work out how much of the complex is underwater and will need underwater exploration. Is the bell tower and main hall dry?

Pinotage

 

[Creamsteak]

The water at the center of the lake is 25-30 feet deep. The bell tower is, for the most part, dry. The belltower could, on the interior and above the surface, have between 2 and 4 levels depending on how it's set up. Roughly the same distance is submerged.

 

[Creamsteak]

So, does that mean that I can cast it tonight before we rest, memorize an extra 3rd level spell in the morning, and still memorize it and use it tomorrow?

You would have to cast it sufficiently early that it doesn't interfere with what spells you can prepare, but I guess that would work. I think there's an argument to be made against it, but I don't think this "exploit" is sufficient to matter. Now, if you did like a thread I just read and tried to make a wand of it, I might have an issue... but that's not even within the scope of this game so that's fine.

 

[Redclaw]

Yeah, that's not at all my style. I have no interest in breaking the system, just making sure that I get a reasonable return for a 4th level spell-slot. Trading a 4th for a 3rd just seems a bit odd. If there were any other good transmutation spells at 4th I would have taken them instead.

 

[Dalamar]

I'm guessing its main use is to recall an already-cast spell, so you effectively exchange a 4th-level spell for a somewhat spontaneous 3rd-level or lower. Alternatively, you could use it to get 3 magic missiles, which are still relatively useful at the levels we're at. Though maybe a fireball is even nicer.

Since we are being asked to split to a new thread, remember to SUBSCRIBE to the new thread. If you don't subscribe to it, you won't get updates (if you use that feature).

I'm not particularly fond of splitting the thread at such a bad place/time, but if we don't miss a beat it won't be a problem.
