Kulan: Knightfall's Crisis in Bluffside Game [OOC]

[Aust Thale]

Posted. Back in the game, Baby!!! God, I needed this.

New post added.

BTW: Mani's gear originally went with him to the barracks. Oakfirst had the captured gear identified for the PCs, and it is now stored at Stormgrove Manor. His gear never made it to the Old Oakfirst Manor, so none of it was stolen.

The Exemplars would have been able to choose from any of the identified gear at Stormgrove before going to confront Nathaniel Aceron at the inn. The gear taken from the ex-guards would only have been identified after the PCs returned from the Aceron Estate out in the countryside.

@JustinCase, let me know if there is anything from the posted Treasure List list that you want to try to claim for Tuck?

I have asked the same question to @Aust Thale, @ScottDeWar_jr, and @Tellerian Hawke through FB. @Neurotic has already noted on Discord that he wants to claim the feybane sword, so that Akos can destroy it.

 

[Knightfall]

And we need to deduce what is the place only we know about

I'm not going to make that difficult to decipher.

 

[Aust Thale]

Falen Treasure Interests (ranked on scale of 1-10, 10 being highest, 1 being lowest): Take one (1) item perhaps?
Magic Items:
+2 Dancing Dagger (8);
Silagord's Spellbook (7) (assuming it's arcane spellbook and not already claimed by another Arcane spellcaster.
+3 Humanbane Dagger of Venom (5) (I think I can roleplay an ethical quandary on this, whether received or not)
+2 Bracers of Armor (4)
Wand of Face in the Crowd (2)
8 Skeleton keys - (1) - I'm assuming these go to something? or are they magic items?

Falen also interested in the following mundane (or sort of mundane) items (take 1 or 2 of these?):
Universal Solvent (he has ranks in alchemy)
Quiver w/ 20 arrows
MW Dagger w/ sheath
2 Belts and 2 Pouches. (there are a bunch of them)
1 of the Potions of Cure Moderate Wounds (okay it's not mundane, but there are 5 of them, and another couple of CSWs)

Bueller? Bueller?

For the damaged items on the treasure list, the rules for repairing damaged items is noted on p. 225 of the Magic Item Compendium. There is says that any magic item with at least 1 hp continues to function and can be repaired using the Craft skill. If an item is reduced to 0 hp, it is considered to be destroyed and its magical powers are lost forever.

A damaged magic item can also be repaired using the make whole spell. That doesn't work for destroyed magic items, however.

The rule in the MIC seems like a bit of a contradiction for what it says for repairing destroyed magic items under the Craft Magic Arms and Armor and Craft Wondrous Item feats where it says you can repair a destroyed magic item at half the cost of what it took to create the item. If an item's magic is lost forever, then how could it be restored?

Regardless, I'm going to say that any of the items on the treasure list that is marked with "slight damage" can be repaired at 1/5th the cost (as noted in the PHB) while those items marked as "damaged" can be repaired at 1/4th the cost. No XP is required to repair these items and a make whole spell can repair one item per casting.

If a magic item is marked with "major damage", it is considered destroyed. None of the items noted for the Bluffside treasure list are marked as such.

For the DCs required to repair magic items, a item that is very powerful has a DC 1 higher than noted on the table on p. 71 of the PHB.

Thus, @Aust Thale, for the +2 glamored mithral chain shirt, it costs 3,200 gp and requires a DC 18 Craft check to repair (DC 10 +7 [AC bonus] +1). the armour must be repaired by a trained armoursmith. The rules don't give a time frame for repairs, but when creating an item from scratch, Craft says it takes one week of work. So, unless I find a rule that says it takes less time to repair an item, assume it takes that long to have the chain shirt repaired.

Wand of Face in the Crowd (2)

Face in the Crowd (*)
Illusion (Glamer, Disguise)

Level: Sorcerer 0, Wizard 0 (might need to be changed to Level 1)
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 5 minutes [D]

Requires there to be a crowd of 16 or more humanoids or monstrous humanoids (depending on your race). +1/caster level (max. +5) bonus to Disguise checks to pass for one of the crowd or +1/caster level (max. +5) bonus to Hide checks to "disappear" into the crowd.

MC: Feather from a flightless bird and a bit of cloth.

* Spell from FFG's School of Illusion sourcebook. While this is a v.3.0 reference, it has excellent spells that are available for Kulan. Spell conversions are done on a case by case basis.
- - -

The wand is at Caster Level 5 and has 21 charges left.

Silagord's Spellbook (7) (assuming it's arcane spellbook and not already claimed by another Arcane spellcaster.

It is an arcane spellbook. I don't think anyone has claimed it. @ScottDeWar_jr might have some interest for Vinny, so if you both want it, then you will have to roll dice for it. Highest d20 roll wins. I will post the details of the spellbook on the campaign guide thread.

8 Skeleton keys - (1) - I'm assuming these go to something? or are they magic items?

These are not magical. They may be for a specific structure in Old City or be designed to get into more than one structure. You would have to check with a local locksmith. If any of the keys turn out to be illegal housebreakers' keys, then you'll have to turn them in to Oakfirst. Such a key could also go to the Dark Lanterns.

1 of the Potions of Cure Moderate Wounds (okay it's not mundane, but there are 5 of them, and another couple of CSWs)

There are enough CMW potions for each PC to get at least one.

Silagord's Spellbook

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Ring of Protection +4:

TREASURE ROLL FOR PROT +4: 1D20 = [19] = 19

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Lucky Boots +3 saves:

TREASURE ROLL FOR BOOTS +3: 1D20 = [16] = 16

 

[Neurotic]

Maybe we should price everything - that way you don't need to roll, unless two people ask for the same thing and already have the same wealth claimed. For example, two items above are the strongest and why wouldn't be all roll? But if we price them, you can adjust your treasure and choose something else.

I'm picking fey bane weapon and will roll for human bane dagger against Falen, Akos thinks they should be destroyed, I, as a player, accept the loss, I'm open so you can find in-game reason to keep them. Rapier can one-shot Akos it is not a good weapon.

Also, I'm traveling for Easter and will not post after this (maybe I get a quick post tomorrow)

 

[Aust Thale]

Treasure Roll: Silagord’s Spellbook: 1D20 = [1] = 1
. Vinny gets it. Couldn’t roll worse.

 

[Aust Thale]

Treasure Roll: Humanbane Dagger of Venom: 1D20 = [15] = 15
I’ll try to make a role play thing of this if roll is successful. Would prefer the +2 Dancing Dagger; but it doesn’t scream “creative entertaining post” the same way an argument over the venom thing might.

 

[Neurotic]

Humanbane Dagger : 1D20 = [11] = 11
Falen gets the dagger
You need two? I mean, why roll if you want dancing one?

I can go through and do that if that's what you guys want. I'll redo the treasure list in a spreadsheet some time on the weekend (or maybe tomorrow).

I think Akos getting the fey bane weapon would be something the PCs would all agree upon. I'll let you and @Aust Thale roleplay the dice roll results for the humanbane dagger of venom.

Thanks for letting us know.

 

[Neurotic]

I think this is fairer than rolling for top 3 items and having all 3 go to the same person simply because he got the high roll. Rolling should be reserved for when in-game agreement cannot be reached. I cannot imagine a group that doesn't agree on the distribution FIRST and rolls only if two characters have valid reasons for it.

Ring +4 costs as much as weapon +4, I don't know about the boots with good type bonus on saves, but I think it will be fairly straightforward.
I'd take ring +2 if it is agreeable to everyone (actually, I'll review the item list over the weekend and post my preference on Monday)

 

[Knightfall]

New treasure list with values and estimated shares per PC.
EDIT: Updated with correct value for spellbook.

RE-EDIT: Ignore the gp, sp, cp values beside the Total Treasure Value.

 

[Knightfall]

I still need to figure out how much Silagord's spellbook is worth with the spells in it. That is the one key item that is not valued yet.
EDIT: Value to sell Silagord's spellbook: 2,650 gp

There is also no value for the set of skeleton keys.

I rolled randomly for the values of the three gems noted in the previous treasure summary.
