stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [OOC]

[Stormwind]

As it is full plate, it will still cost 500gp to get it resized to her (every full-plate is a custom job).

Now Ashlyn just needs to figure out how to pay for it ... what sort of deal could she get for her half-plate with the artisan(s) of the caravan?

 

[DEFCON 1]

What's the possibility/probability of the caravan artificers having items with them that they'd give to the party on exchange? We have a lot of items in our posession that none of us would want to use... and rather than just sit on them, we could use them to barter for other magical items that the caravan might have or perhaps even the village itself.

The chalice, the bells, the standard half-plate, the masterwork shield, crossbow and cold iron mace, the magical banded mail etc... all of those could be given to trade for other items that might be available. If that's doable, we should count up what we'd be willing to part with, see what we could get for them either in cash or exchange, then see what is available for us to buy/trade ourselves. Once we have a total amount that gets divied up amongst the party, that might be a method of Ashlyn getting her 500gp possibly.

Perriwimple knows that the village is really too small to really get anything in, though his uncle can order something things---but at a huge markup. You'd have to ask him.

As for the Caravan: Its down to three artificers/magewrights now. There is a limited stock of supplies, so it depends on what was requested. I'd have to think on the specifics, but the caravan was stocked for research efforts with some need for protection, so more common items are available than obscure ones. Of course, many things could be made, though it would take time.

Once you know what you are willing to part with, I can tell you what you can get for it.

 

[Stormwind]

I have made a new list and I think that we should sell everything that is marked in red, and for everything that is marked in orange we should decide if anyone wants to use it.
Then 'after the campaign' we can send the money to the appropriate people/places. IC Ashlyn already has IOU's from at least Khensu and Jarrith for their membership fee for the Lightbringers (Of course this isn't marked on her character sheet since it's not money that she would/could use).

Also if anyone wants to sell anything they currently have, now would be the time.

(Note: if anyone wants to suggest otherwise then please say so ... I've just tried to keep the different characters area's of expertise in mind but you guys know your characters better than I do.):

If everyone can comment on what they want, or if they think that something should go to someone else. Also please comment especially on the stuff marked in Orange.


@stonegod: Ashlyn is willing to help with or do the bartering and will haggle as well as she can to get a good price once the group has decided on what to sell. (Diplomacy: 1d20 +10)
Note: If possible, it would be best if Marot were to do the haggling (since he was part of the original expedition) and for Ashlyn to help him, but if he's up the road with Khensu, then I guess Ashlyn can manage by herself too

 

[James Heard]

I really have nothing to add. Janis is out for a day (when I assume you guys are selling stuff). Anyways, I just wanted to pop in and say something in case someone got the crazy idea that just because I'm quiet it means I'm not around.

 

[stonegod]

I'll most likely update Tuesday w/ the next day's activity.

drothgery I still have no notion of what Daellin wants to do w/ his down time. As the only one w/ Track, he could try searching the forest for clues of the Claw. Or he could help w/ the burials, or do something else.

... mostly because I didn't have a good idea. But he probably should check the forest for tracks.

 

[DEFCON 1]

I think we should sell as many of the red items as we can, with the exception of perhaps the cold iron mace (this might be useful should we face fey creatures). The +1 dagger should go to Daellin so that he has a magical melee weapon.

As far as items for purchase, I think the following items might be very useful (as well as more likely to be available:

Wands of:
Cure Moderate, Serious or Critical Wounds
Lesser Restoration or Restoration
Remove Disease or Remove Poison

Make anyone's main weapons magical if they aren't already
Adding Ghost Touch to anyone's main magical weapon

Chime of Opening

 

[pathfinderq1]

Tessa is perfectly willing to take custody of the scrolls if none of the other clerical casters want them. She'll pass on Ashlyn's +1 half-plate- it is a bit too heavy for her. Also, as mentioned in the IC thread, she can take asingle casting of Identify as her second level domain spell, if anyone wants something checked out. Speak up now so I can make the appropriate change to her spell list...

 

[drothgery]

I'd actually suggest Daellin hold on to the cure scrolls; he can use them, and is unlikely to have the spells prepared.
