Deuce Traveler's Last Stand of the Dorinthians

I just wanted to say that the party doesn't have to go with either Plan A or Plan B. They can try to go with their own Plan C. Or they can follow Plan D: Screw the elves and New Dorinth. Let's go kill something and take its treasure.
 

I'm actually becoming more and more interested in releasing the beast, THEN killing the orc leader to decapitate the response. After all, even a tremendously formidable beast from ancient days might find it easier to tear up a bunch of feuding orcs than a more unified orc front. Or vice versa might work even better, depending on how long the orcs take to fragment, and if there is a strong successor already waiting in the wings somewhere.

Although, Nikkolos could use a serious loot infusion, right now he's running pretty much on empty, and that wand of cure light wounds is looking fairly tasty. I didn't buy it, or the wand of cure mod I was considering, from his starting wealth, because I wasn't seeing him as an active adventurer before joining this madcap band.
 

While Danica might have a preference to go for the orc leader, I myself am pretty content with any route. We just need to make a decision!
 

Well, generally, its Dartis that makes the decisions, the tyrannical swine. (j/k) So I think we're more or less waiting for his rousing speech before launching ourselves madly into danger.
 

Hey, can Nikolos get scroll makings in Saleentra? If he has any xp lying around loose from the big orc battle, and if he can crank out 1,000 gp worth of scrolls in a day, he'll spend that 300 gp and 24 xp to make 24 1st level cure light wounds scrolls.
 

Celeste would be willing to sell it to you, so that would work. Let's go over the math.

If you scribe scrolls with a caster level of 1, you would get:
1 (spell level) x 1 (caster level) x 25gp= 25 gp each.

24 of these would be 24 x 25 = 600 gp total.

XP cost would be 1/25th of the gp cost, so 25/25 = 1 xp each.
24 x 1 = 24xp total. No problem here.

Finally the time. According to page 88 of the PHB, you can only create one magical item a day. I'd be willing to give you a break and allow you to create six the first day and one each day afterwards if you carry the materials along, but twenty-four of these scrolls in 24 hours would be pretty insane.
 

The time thing is a problem, admittedly.

On the cost though, I'm not buying a finished scroll, just the materials, which for a 1st caster level/1st level spell scroll is 12 gp 5 sp each.

Given the one scroll per day situation, though, what would probably work better is to buy the materials for 4 cure mod scrolls, at caster level 3, which should still cost 300 gp, at 75 gp each, and still cost 24 xp.

Ok. That works for me.
 

Since Deuce Traveler is too modest to point it out I thought I should mention that there's a new thread in the Story Hour forum and some of you are in it. :) (Well, only Dartis so far, but we're all in the cast list.)
So, DT, do you have a policy for the SH and the players? Are we allowed to read it? (I actually didn't consider that might be an issue until I'd already read part of it.)
