OoC:The Sceptre of Kings:A Heroic Dwarven Quest

[Uriel]

I am going to stat out the NPCs very soon, although I will be at a Game Con all weekend long, starting Sat afternoon.

Gifts are an excellent idea as well, although selling the Weapons is a perfectly Dwarven way to get rid of them. In fact, the items by the old (Ghost) smith will fetch an extra 20% due to his fame in the Keep from any Grentrigh Dwarves, and possibly from others as well.<Diplomacyy DC 15/20 non Grentrigh for the better price>.

It is also Ok to keep the weapons around, as you never know when some black pudding is going to eat your precious Waraxe. It also never hurts to have a big 2 handed smashy weapon (the Great Hammers etc...).

To Duranom and Alembregh, the Dwarven Waraxes make up fine twohanded weapons, since they can be wielded twohanded and with their feats, it gives better bonuses to hit and deals more damage than the twohanded weapons. Alembregh actually uses his Waraxe twohanded for lack of a shield. I really wonder why I didn't equip a shield for him. Perhaps I oughta grab one for him. Just a little short for a +2 shield, though

Erokose's division looks fine to me. Duranom and Kelen should of course be cut short on any future treasure divisions.

How much does Alembregh need? Turlough's got 911 gold.

You can always trade a few of those weapons in for a Shield etc...


Kelen is a marginal NPC and shouldn't even be considered for future treasure. He was a filler to get you folks into that last adventure. He's off, back to Clan Hurdrinn (though still greatful and a friend now).

Duranom is a different consideration. However you folks want to deal with Cohorts getting shares is fine with me.

 

[Thels]

Well, I don't think we oughta sell weapons just because I forgot to equip Alembregh with a Shield

If Kelen is a marginal NPC, we might give him a Great Hammer +2 instead? We should probably cough up like 220gp from the party money for two torches of continual flame, in case he loses one to dispel magic of some kind.

NPC clarification

Kelen:Clan Hurdrinn Ranger who entered the Orc lair with you, left with the rescued folks from the prison.Heading back to his peple to tellof your deeds, see how they fare etc...still an ally.

Untryn:Fire Mephit (the one with the everburning torch need), sticking around (might become Stori's Famaliar, if he survives ).

Hollin:Human (speechless) Ranger, currently recovering upstairs at the Inn from his incarceration.Aprox Level 8-9

Kendragi: Rescued Dwarf from the Orc prison,Also recovering from his ordeal as a slave. resting upstairs to gain his strength back. Aprox Level 8-9.

I don't know who this works in 3.5, but can't anyone use the bastard sword two handed as a martial weapon anway...


So we can gain cohorts without leadership for the moment or are they just called that? I was planning on taking that for Elspeth's 9th level feat...


Curing Hollin fully will require what? A restoration? If so, can someone cast one or do we pay for it out of party funds?

 

[Thels]

Duranom is Alembregh's cohort, attracted by the Leadership feat. Likewise, Rament has a cohort as well.

Yeah, the Bastard Sword is a twohanded martial weapon as well as a onehanded exotic weapon. But what about it? Practically all the frontline troops are wielding Waraxes, which dish out the same damage, but with which we are familiar, focused, specialized, etc... And on top of that, our waraxes have better magical bonuses than the bastard sword does.

If magic can accelerate Hollin's curing, then Rament should be able to, not? But is Rament still a PC nowadays?

 

[Erekose13]

Yup lets go with the smaller hammer to Kelen. We will keep the bigger one in party treasure for now. I would imagine that once Kendragi and Hollin are back on their feet, and provided they want to join us, then we can equip them with the mithril shirts and hammer/bastard sword.

Yeah I will keep track of future treasure too so that we all end up somewhat on even terms. The ring and the waraxe were the biggest I think it was. And we can give NPCs/cohorts less in the end.

 

[Xael]

I've been trying to catch on, now that my "vacation" has started, but I've been sick for few days. I updated Denzenai to level 9 (ECL 11). I figure that Denzenai would just have followed Alembergh around. He's not party-type.

Also, the Bracers of Striking Denzenai is carrying seem to be a bit outdated by 3.5 as the Amulet of Mighty Fists is in the DMG. It costs more, and doesn't allow anything else than enhancement bonus to be applied. So I'm a bit confused as what to do, as the bracers are my leveling item(s). Do I go by the bracer-rules (as normal double-weapon enhancement) or by the amulet-rules (=triple the cost and no specialties)?

And I'm damn sorry I've been so absent. Don't know why, but I haven't posted really anywhere on these boards lately.
