The Rod of Seven Parts: Kauai Team OOC

[Ambrus]

DM's liberty, and don't worry (but thank you for clarifying for the others).

Ah. Okay. I'll just go ahead and assume that Mael tried and failed to save the poor guy. So what's the check DC to skin a human?

I thought about having Lewit morph into something odd a la Dter, but decided against it.

Eh. Mael would simply have shot him dead if he had; the same thing happened a few days ago and the next thing he knew Maelicent had a giant demon-spider thing fall and die on top of him. If he sees anybody else morph in his presence Mael will err on the side of caution and just start shooting ASAP.

Gamad – "God riddance of Lewit, he was such a mess and filthy human."

 

[CanadienneBacon]

I know that Gamad is a transmuter, but perhaps someone else will be able to make use of the charm person spell scribed on the scroll.

Chev may of course try to cast the 2nd level spell while he's still only 1st level. It'd be a simple caster level check to get it to go off.

 

[Mista Collins]

Chev hopes there is no immediate use for the 2nd level scroll.

Beware a helpful goblin.

CB, regardless of the twin's refusal of Mael's offer of help, the little guy will help dispose of some evidence by pilfering Lewit's possessions (specifically, his thieves' tools, mirror, rapier, dagger and crossbow along with the dagger he dropped and his chess set). He'll be keeping the dagger and one of the goblin pawns from the chess set for himself and selling the rest alongside the remainder of the chitin when he heads to the craftsmen later. Waste not want not.

Out of consideration for BRP2, Mael will refrain from taking Lewit's hide.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Alright. Maelicent can get half PHB value for the equipment he sells from a pawnbroker in Teg's Throat who doesn't ask questions.

 

[Ambrus]

Alright. Looking over our previous posts, if we start with my original (faulty) math the profit of the sales of the chitin is 3289.5 gp. Add to that the 100 gp for the soft tissues and skulls along with the proceeds of the sales of Lewit's equipment (52 gp) and we end up with a total of 3441.5 gp. Subtracting the (modified) cost of Mael's new bow, buckler and boots (1035 gp) we end up with a net profit of 2406.5 gp.

Does that sound good to you CB? Would you care to modify the amounts somehow? Could Maelicent get that in platinum pieces?

 

[CanadienneBacon]

That sounds accurate and fine, and yes he may get that in platinum florins.

 

[Ambrus]

Alright. After stopping off at Halver's, the pawnbroker and Nickleby's Maelicent will head over to the Pig to check in with his rag-tag group. Thanks for all your patience in dealing with the economic aspects of this stuff.

CB, is access to the Old City Forest normally bared? Do the locals generally shun it? I ask because if it was conceivable for Maelcient to enter and leave the forest it's the likeliest place for him to have set up kip upon first entering Tegest six months ago. At the time he had no experience with human cities. The Old Forest, if generally shunned by the populace yet still accessible to Mael, would have been ideal for him since he could easily find or make shelter in the natural environs while remaining out of sight of the general populace and yet remaining in the heart of the city.

It's been kind of bothering me to wonder about where exactly Mael's been living since he arrived in this human settlement. If it sounds okay to you, it could be assumed that Mael has a small camouflaged lean-to somewhere in Old City Forest that he calls home. He simply hasn't been there since the start of the campaign since he's been staying in the Cockatrice stables. What do you think?
