OOC: Endur's Return to TOEE part 2

[Thanee]

Sorry, not kidding. The haversack is great for storing lots of small items (wands, a potion collection, scrolls, etc.). Its not designed for bulky items and does not have that large of an opening. You can put a long narrow item, like a sheathed sword, into the haversack because it fits through the opening. A large, wide item like bulky armor will not fit through the opening.

Ok. That also means, you cannot put a leather armor (a chain shirt, should obviously be no problem) into a normal backpack, right?

I'm somewhat in favor of buying components to upgrade Craven's and Raner's weapons, armor and shields to +1. That would cost 4000 gp.

I'm in favor of that plan. Half of that is for the weapons, and I'd consider it to be the less important half and very skippable for now.

Oh, and Raner knows he wouldn't really be able to resell the stone from the temple, but that doesn't mean he isn't at least a little bit tempted to try.

@Xael: Lenya 'bought' the to-be-sold Potion of Levitate. That one's potentially too useful to sell for just a couple gold pieces.

Right. Leather armor and Studded Leather is too bulky for a backpack. And even chain shirt is an issue, because chain shirt isn't just the chain but also includes bulky quilted armor underneath the chain shirt.

Also, while we are on the topic of chain shirts. While Lenya is wearing the chain shirt, she counts as medium encumbered (i.e. move 20'). This is not a big deal for the party since Belaver, Craven, Raner, and Xaod also move 20'. Kerwyn, Lylamwyn, and Toriah are moving 30'.

Right, the chain shirt is 25 lbs. (for some reason I thought it was 20 ).
(EDIT: 4th armor in the list... 5, 10, 15, 20... Also Mithril Shirt has a weight of 10 lbs. That's probably why. )

But yeah, it's not such a big deal.

The local smiths pay the party 1500 gp for the miscellaneous hobgoblin weapons and equipment.

What counts as miscellaneous weapons and equpment? And can I assume we have now sold the stuff in the old to-be-sold list and add some +1s to stuff, since nobody hasn't objected much?



And Lylamwyn is actually moving 20' with all the stuff he's carrying.



But it seems we have to kill some people in Verbobonc too.

 

[Thanee]

Speaking of carrying... in some book (might be the Arms & Equipment Guide, or Complete Adventurer) there is a masterwork backpack or something, which adds +2 to the Str for carrying only. I suppose it's mostly the supportive frame (sturdy frame, like you get with those traveling backpacks these days), which does this, so couldn't one fit such a frame to an existing backpack to benefit from that, too? That would be sufficient to get Lenya to a light load even with the chain shirt.

a masterwork backpack or something

The merchants in Verbobonc have never heard of a masterwork backpack, but they will look into it and talk to some traveling merchants to see if such a thing can be ordered from a far-off place.

 

[Endur]

What counts as miscellaneous weapons and equpment?

Misc=stuff I didn't tell you about. i.e. various lesser hobgoblin weapons armor and other stuff.

 

[Thanee]

Would wrist sheathes for wands be available?

They cost 20 gp and simply store a tiny weapon or a wand. Nothing special.
