[Sblock=The Hunters OOC]Question about the money. So just how much did we get? I know Garrick is set at 2,000 but I'm not sure what we just received. Thanks!

Or healing potions

[Sblock=The Hunters]No thanks, Fenris. Tullia is already equipped with a MWK, Darkwood, STR +1 bow. It isn't magical simply because I typically prep defense over offense when playing most characters.
Having said that, FX - is mithril available in a plain non-magical suit of armor? I think Tullia would be fairly interested in a mithril chain shirt, but not yet magical. She can afford it (I'm assuming 1,100 gold, right?) I just wanted to clear it with you to see if you can do it non-magical. Of course, she'll be getting it enhanced once another payday comes along!
Assuming it is available, can we also assume we can sell our goods? That'd leave me with a MWK studded leather I could sell. Unless Boarhide wants it - he's welcome to it, Fenris. But assuming we can sell our goods, do we assume the typical 50%? Do we make diplomacy checks? how should we handle that aspect?

The Hunters [sblock] Thanks but no thanks NF. Under all Boarhide's furs and hides is a shiny +1 mithral chain shirt.
But I do want to sell my bow then as well and try to pick up a MW Composite Mighty (+4) Longbow of DOOOOMMMMM! That's a clothyard shaft that'll leave a sting.
Once I know about the bow, or how much of a bow I can get:
Constable: Hey can you guys cut down that tree? We need to make a bow.
I will decide what else to get.

[Sblock=The Hunters]Fenris, I was just wondering if you want to take a certain % of Boarhide's money and an equal amount of Tullia's money and either pick up a wand of CLW or a few potions. Since Tullia has a few levels of ranger, CLW is on her spell list even though she cannot cast. She could use a wand of CLW if Boarhide wants to part with the 375 gold. Tullia would be happy to use it on either of them as the game progresses.[/Sblock]

The Hunters[sblock]Some catch-up:
As far as remembering details is concerned - a lot has happened, we have lost a lot of posts, and the very nature of PbP games can make it easier and harder to remember the details. If there is something specific that you have encountered that is pertinent I will remind you of it.
You received a total of 2000gp for 1000gp each.
Mithril is fine. It is just a non-magical material that, when properly crafted, is masterwork and very suitable for enchantment.
Sell at the standard 50%. If you want something else taken into consideration like the ability to barter (high diplomacy check or the like) to potentially raise your selling price, we can do that as well.
Your Thoughts
Since we are on kind of a break. Tell me what you think so far about how things are going. Barring the loss of the posts and the slow pace we have had what are your thoughts about the game so far? What do you like? What do you not like?.
I have seen that my descriptions (specifically during combat) have not been written as clear as they could be. (or I am writing too much ), so that I need to be a little more careful of. A little less creative writing when it comes to combat I am thinking.
How do you like the flavor so far? What was your favorite moment? Name at least one thing you like, and at least one thing that you do not like or think I could improve. Any other comments or suggestions? If you have thought of something that you would like to do for an encounter or plot point let me know as well.[/sblock]

Cool, thanks. That was how I was hoping it would be.
Great. So we each take 1,000 and we're kosher. I'll note here that Tullia did not spend all of her starting gold intentionaly. Fenris, any thoughts on my offer for a CLW wand as posted in my previous post?
Great! I'll note the mithril chain then, assuming you have no issues with it.
Standard 50% works for me. That's what the rules are based on - and balance assumes. So 50% is fine for me.
I like the fact - and don't take this the wrong way - that it has felt like a normal adventure. I realize we are playing in Eberron ... but to my knowledge we haven't met gobs of warforged or spend post upon post on a lightning rail. I briefly played in another Eberron game with Eluvan before he up and vanished off the boards. He focused alot on the stuff that was different ... the warforged, the rails, knowing all the houses and housemarked, etc... I didn't really care for it. So - I guess what I am saying is that I like what we've done so far without going all "Eberron." I should note - I don't mind if you throw in "technological magic" like a warforged or the lightning rails, mind you. I just ask that you don't make it a huge part of the game. I hope this doesn't bother you too much. If it does, then I guess I'll just learn to adapt.
Hmmm. I'm not really happy with how that last paragraph turned out and I've rewritten it several times. I guess what I am trying to say is that I don't want to ignore that we are in Eberron, but I don't want to focus on the "different" stuff, either. As long as it is in the background and only surfaces here and there, that's cool.
Your descriptions have actually been very precise. I would say that in combat I do prefer a nuts-and-bolts only approach for PbP combat. Some description is good, but I've found that if there is any area that description can be problematic it is combat.
My favorite moments are always RP conversations. I love getting into dialogue, even if it means slowing the game down a bit because it takes a while to get through. Probably so far my favorite moment was the discussion between Boarhide and Tullia that just happened in the Constable's office. Of course ... I will give an honorable mention to Tullia's firing an arrow into the cave guardian statue. And .. Boarhide's antics there. I think that I am Fenris' straight-man. That's me, of course. Offline I'm a real card. On-line I can't seem to get my sense of humor across.
As far as being forced to name something I didn't like ... I didn't like the crash! Actually, I will use my comment earlier about the slowed posting. However, I will say that I appreciate your efforts to improve and I am fine with the game at its current pacing. This pacing is perfectly fine with me and if it continues I'll raise no more complaints!

FX,
I should have mentioned in the other post that I am set to be heading away for the internet for some time. Starting Sunday afternoon, I'll be leaving until Saturday evening. I will then be headed away again the following Monday for about a week and a half. You can count on me posting during the two days I'll be home in betwen my trips assuming there is something for me to post to. If need be, please NPC Tullia to keep the story moving.

NF: If I get the bow (of DOOM!) that I want, and sell my old bow I will only have 300 gp. But we do still have the unknown potion and all the other gear and swag we took from the cave. We got some cash from the guard room and we have some weapons as well. I think FX described the False Wolves axes as "finely made" so they may be MW. So with all that I think we cab cobble together 75 gp. I think we picked up 50 in loose change actaully.
FX: I will echo most of NF's comments. I too like the fact that this is no too Eberrony. And I have been enjoying this. I think the fact that I wrote my background to mesh with NF's helped actaully as we didn;t have to deal with those issues and charged right in. The fact that we make a great teams helps as well. The interaction has been very fun.
I will put the scence outside the cave as one of my favorites
But the exchange between Tullia and I in the very begining when we found the burned out house was good as well as it set us up.
