>_> I should be available again after this week. Bloody measles...

Do we have a game today? Question

A few announcements:

*Pramid of Radiance will not be having a game on May 18, to make way for dark_axis and juaberman's (?) absence. I believe Revan will run a one-shot then, so all things are good if all you want is a gaming fix.

*We will continue gaming on May 25; but if we're going to game the way we usually do, we will end up requiring three more days of gaming. I simply will not be available for that. Therefore, I plan to finish it on the 25th; the finale, at Aur Ain Soph's place. This will be a whole day afair, preferably from morning 'til night.

On that note, I would want to request your availability on the 25th. The plan is to get to AAS' place by 10am. That way we can simulate three game days with two 30min breaks in between.

Since it's going to be starting at 10am, that means you'll have to wake by 7am if you plan to go with boy-bakal or something. I know many of us don't even wake by 7... but it's a one-time deal. I hope you understand.

I want to finish Pyramid. It's a long slog, but it's an honest to gods dungeon crawl, and I don't do enough of those. It's actually sort of fun, apologies if I've been grandstanding with Kyris.

I'm good to go on Monday.

Hi guys, I just got back yesterday. I'm game on the 25th. but there is one thing that concerns me, can someone point me to where AAS' place is? I haven't been there and ths would be my first time. If none of you replies then I'll just have to meet up with b_b. Yikes, that's 7 am.::gulp::

Actually, I would need a refresher course, as well. @_@ A PM of directions would be appreciated, AAS. Preferably starting at an MRT station. Very Happy

Does anyone remember the experience gained last game day at b_b's place?

If you guys don't mind, I want to go and watch this game. I'll help if it necessary. Very Happy

Well, juaberman won't be around. So if you can get his permission to pilot it, I wouldn't mind. Wink

Alrighty then. I don't have problems with it, but I'll need you to ask the host first, of course. Wink

@everyone else: Besides juaberman, can I get a sound-off? No complaints on the time? Remember, you guys have to be at AAS' place by 10-11am. Cool

Please post all other loot ASAP. Wink

First Encounter:
3300 gp
silver necklace worth 1500gp
deep blue pearl worth 500gp
6 turquoise each worth 100gp

Second Encounter:

3 topaz gemstone each 500gp
+1 amulet of health ( to be sold worth 136gp)

Third Encounter:
3 godstone worth 1100gp

As per AAS' post he got a +3 Vicious Dagger (worth 13000 gp) and +1 Cloak of Distortion(worth 840 gp). In total he got 2748 gp worth in equipment.

As to what I remember, b_b got the hellfire wand+3 ( worth 17000 gp) which was also melted into 5000 gp worth of residuum too and I also believe him taking one of the godstone shards (worth 1100 gp). B_b got a total of 6600 gp in total.

I also remember oghma getting the cloak of resistance + 3 ( worth 13000 gp) and 5000 gp worth of the floating head's godstone. In total that is worth 7600 gp in loot.

I've confirmed with Revan, I believe he wanted to get the remaining two god stone shards worth and the amulet of protection +3 (worth 11200 gp).
In total that is 4000 gp worth of loot.

Please see computation below and check wealth distributions. I got the cost of the loot and summed them up. Assuming we sold every item, this would be the computation:

13000 gp ->+3 vicious dagger
840 gp -> cloak of distortion + 1
13000 gp -> cloak of resistance + 3
9000 gp -> amulet of protection +3
-------------
35840 gp -> total

total/ 5 (if sold) = 7168 gp
7168gp + 13300 gp + 7536 (undistributed loot)= 28004 gp

each party member should get an amount of 5600.80 gp

Since the amount stated above is not ideal due to the fact that some people would not part with the items that they have nor would they be willing to compensate in monetary value( I think I know how greedy your characters are, hehehehehehe no offense meant and we never did actually compensate before whenever this happened and it would be way more complicated for each member to compensate each other for each other's gain and loses) plus the fact that the selling price is not that compensatory compared to the usefulness of the item. I think the remaining loot should be distributed to among the two persons who had the least amount of loot in terms of gp namely Revan, AAS and I.

The mean supposedly is to get at least 5600.8 gp worth of loot for each person so by using the mean.

I won't go after the amount where the others exceed the average but through computation each one of us namely Revan, AAS and me should get a total loot of 4894. If you want I can give you the formula on how it was computed. Hehehehehehe

Revan gets 894 = 4894-4000
AAS gets 2146 = 4894 -2748
D_a gets 4896 = 7536 - 894 - 2146

894+ 2146+4896 = 7536

I think this solves everything, I got the 2gp in excess since I hold you guys to give me a drink after one suicidal feat. If ever there are any violent reactions please say so or if you have receive items which were not accounted in the computation please say so. If you can suggest a better way to compute things then shoot. Okay???

@BJ: Can we liquidate some of our gold after loot distribution since me thinks that it would encumber some of us due to the weight? I believe you left us off the coast of Illawith? Is this the way it's spelled?

Wink

On items:
*Hellfire Wand was +3
*The dragon's hoard gave away a +3 Amulet of Protection, while Kravak the Damned had a Cloak of Resistance +3.
*Vyrellis' godstone melted into residuum worth 5000gp (Yevor personal)

Buying items at Ilawith:
*Anyone who wishes to purchase items must roll Streetwise (via invicastle). Use your character's unebbreviated first name as your invicastle name.

If you roll a 1-15, all heroic tier items cost 200gp more, and all Paragon Items cost 500gp more. If you roll a 16-20, items fetch normal price. If you roll a 21 or higher, heroic tier items cost 200gp less (minimum 100gp) and paragon tier items cost 500gp less.

Otherwise, all items from player-approved resources are available at Ilawith.

I got a roll of 19 plus the modifer of +5, I get a total of 24.

Guys, who's got the amulet of protection + 3( I think Yevor has this) and the cloak of resistance + 3?

Transfer Enchantments are available at Ilawith.

Pay 25gp (component cost)+ 20gp (procurement costs)+20gp (labor fee)+ provide mundane item to be transferred to (if you don't have such an item at hand, purchase one at market price).

Spending 95 gp (25gp+ 20gp+20gp+30gp) to transfer enchantment of +2 dragonslayer trident to greatbow and 70gp to transfer enchantment of +2 assasin's dagger to spiked gauntlet.

Sold 1 topaz gemstone, 2 turquoise gems, 1 silver necklace, + 1 amulet of health (to be sold 136 gp) = 2336gp

gold in inventory before is 381 gp
loot in gp is worth 2560 gp
sold loot is 2336 gp
total available gold is 5277 gp

shopping list:

Bracers of Archery ( 1600 gp = 1800 gp less 200 gp)
Bag of Holding ( 800 gp = 1000 gp less 200 gp)

Here's the final distribution:

Revan- 1 topaz gemstone, 2 turquoise gems, and 194 gp
AAS- 1 topaz gemstone, 2 turquoise gems, deep blue pearl and 946 gp
D_a- 1 topaz gemstone, 2 turquoise gems, 1 silver necklace, 2560 gp, + 1 amulet of health (to be sold)

*each topaz is worth 500 gpand each turquoise is worth 100 gp

This is in addition to the items that you already have. b_b and oghma, I hope you guys understand that as per checking you guys have more loot during that time and I no longer want to contest the difference so I devised a formula for the three of us to off set the remaining undistributed loot. But if there are any violent reaction, please do tell. okay?? Wink

Rev, have we already sold and split the 500gp worth of blank books ?
