I took the 10 Bane arrows and chucked 10 whistling arrows in the chest (for safe keeping)
How do we want to divide the potions and what spells should I prep?

I'm sorthing through the loot now (and the NPCs had a pretty good catch). Allocations so far:
1. Mwk cold iron longsword to Leonius
2. Mwk cold iron heavy mace to Jessica
3. Arrow +1 evil outsider bane x10 to Talisin
4. Wand of magic missiles CL5 31/50 to Tali(?)
5. Potions of cure serious wounds: Tali and Talisin get 2 each, everyone else gets 1 each (motivation: availability of other healing to the person)
6. I also want to give the glaive +1 to Jessica, if she does not mind

Feel free to correct the above and/or claim the rest.

[Spore]

We should really take the potion of restoration with us. And if we are fighting at least a single Tiefling we have to have a daylight spell to dispel their darkness spell.

Also please add the following to the sheet (from labyrinth):
Scroll of Bear's Endurance, Scroll of Remove Disease, Wand of Spiritual Weapon 8/50, Obsidian Symbol of Baphomet (25gp), Scroll of Cause Fear
230gp worth of gems, 4 potions of cure moderate wounds, 2 MW chain shirts 4 potions of CLW, 2x Alchemist's Fire, 1x Tanglefoot Bag.

I am entirely uncertain if you have already sold and checked this as money.

Leonius' loadout from this and the excel sheet should be:
- wand of Daylight
- MW cold iron longsword
- 2 potions of Lesser Restoration
- Scroll of Bear's Endurance
- Scroll of Remove Disease
- Wand of Spiritual Weapon 8/50
- Obsidian Symbol of Baphomet (25gp)
- Scroll of Cause Fear
- Scroll of Divine Favor
- Scroll of Remove Fear
- 3 x Holy Water
- 1x Antitoxin
- Wand of Bless Weapon CL3 18/50 (mostly because our paladin should be busy smiting not buffing. If she wants it for utility I can give it to her).

Can we get a scroll of Darkvision for Jessica? We would have at least a miss chance and a hefty stealth bonus on our side. A wizard scroll would be 150gp. I doubt the archmage can write one for us blind as he is, but aren't there other members of the tower here?

Thanks, that's really useful to see it laid out like that.

Tali's gets +1DC (evocation) - Spell Focus
+1 damage/die -(evocation) - Blood Havoc
+1 damage/die -(fire) - Bloodline Arcana

So for fiery evocation spells it's +1DC and +2 damage/dice. It's punchy! Also she can do energy substitution (fire) for free, so magic missile counts both.

[TankLaser007]

I'm sorthing through the loot now (and the NPCs had a pretty good catch). Allocations so far:
1. Mwk cold iron longsword to Leonius
2. Mwk cold iron heavy mace to Jessica
3. Arrow +1 evil outsider bane x10 to Talisin
4. Wand of magic missiles CL5 31/50 to Tali(?)
5. Potions of cure serious wounds: Tali and Talisin get 2 each, everyone else gets 1 each (motivation: availability of other healing to the person)
6. I also want to give the glaive +1 to Jessica, if she does not mind

Feel free to correct the above and/or claim the rest.

Recording the 2 potions, what allows move action draw of potions is a bandolier?

Your welcome, changes made, also the table is sortable by column.

Price 5 sp; Weight —

This leather belt is worn over one shoulder and runs diagonally across the chest and back. It has small loops or pouches for holding eight objects the size of a flask or small dagger. You can use the “retrieve a stored item” action to take an item from a bandolier. You can wear up to two bandoliers at the same time (any more than this and they get in each other’s way and restrict your movement).

...where "retrieve a stored item" is a move action that provokes as normal.

[u-b]

Also please add the following to the sheet (from labyrinth):
Scroll of Bear's Endurance, Scroll of Remove Disease, Wand of Spiritual Weapon 8/50, Obsidian Symbol of Baphomet (25gp), Scroll of Cause Fear
230gp worth of gems, 4 potions of cure moderate wounds, 2 MW chain shirts 4 potions of CLW, 2x Alchemist's Fire, 1x Tanglefoot Bag.

I did not add anything from any previous encounters thinking of risks of double-counting something. The potions would be primary candidates to be double-counted, it seems, as they might have been allocated some way or another (Gashur has two CMWs he did not pay for; cannot point at a specific message though). Of two masterwork chain shirts, I think one was worn by Leonius (replaced, and accounted for) and one still worn by Gashur. I'll mark Gashur's older leather and Leonius' older chainmail for resale and add some of the rest.

I am entirely uncertain if you have already sold and checked this as money.

Please check the updated spreadsheet and remove party loot from Leonius' MW sheet.

Leonius' loadout from this and the excel sheet should be:
- wand of Daylight
- MW cold iron longsword
- 2 potions of Lesser Restoration
- Scroll of Bear's Endurance
- Scroll of Remove Disease
- Wand of Spiritual Weapon 8/50
- Obsidian Symbol of Baphomet (25gp)
- Scroll of Cause Fear
- Scroll of Divine Favor
- Scroll of Remove Fear
- 3 x Holy Water
- 1x Antitoxin
- Wand of Bless Weapon CL3 18/50 (mostly because our paladin should be busy smiting not buffing. If she wants it for utility I can give it to her).

Done it. Also, you get one CSW from new NPC loot - might be handy in case you need to revive someone.

As is, the spreadsheet is not intended to reflect personal gear expenditure (only allocations and party stock). I've used google sheets for everything, but but in a somewhat different design and I guess we don't need that in this case.

Can we get a scroll of Darkvision for Jessica? We would have at least a miss chance and a hefty stealth bonus on our side. A wizard scroll would be 150gp. I doubt the archmage can write one for us blind as he is, but aren't there other members of the tower here?

I don't think we would need that above ground. A scroll and/or a potion of Brightest Night should do the trick just as well. We can procure a few.

[u-b]

And I am too old to enter via the roof. Granted I doubt a fortress like that is able to be infiltrated via flight.

I think our arcane people could remember the spell that should make the whole affair super-easy, if only we could procure two shots (one shot if someone wants to die a hero). 10 minutes at the minimum CL, so the first shot could be a scroll. The second one better be a potion.

Agree with the potions. As for the glaive, I don't mind getting it, but I'm not sure it would do more damage than my greatsword. 2d6+6 vs 1d10+7. It would do more on a crit and it has reach, but I don't want to take Gashur's weapon from him (it's allocated to Gashur if I read the file correctly).

And I would certainly take the potions of restoration with us. That's not something you will probably take in combat, so it matters less who takes them, but I think we best have them with us.

I think Hero's Defiance may be worth considering instead of CLW.

Less potent, but a better safety net for emergencies.

True, I'll make the switch (we have a night so it shouldn't be a problem). Just have to remember that a) I have that spell and b) to keep one Lay on hands for it.

Gashur has had problems lugging polearms around and someone carrying and using one of these would be better than if it was left at the base. The glaive is magical, the hammer is cold iron, so that's sort of bet on what we plan to encounter. For now, Gasur would stick with cold iron lucerne hammer.

And I would certainly take the potions of restoration with us. That's not something you will probably take in combat, so it matters less who takes them, but I think we best have them with us.

Ok. I've maked two to Leonius and two to Jessica, but actually everyone can edit and the sheet keeps the history, so it's perfectly safe. I plan to make a sort of party bag of some things not otherwise allocated, but that is for out of combat use and sort of keeps all the eggs in one place...

@DrK Is there an chance to buy gear in the Inn

[u-b]

@DrK Is there an chance to buy gear in the Inn

But yes, its a price cap of 900gp for purchases (well really bartering) in the Defender's Heart

...and we have plenty of funds (I mean, seriously, if you have considered anything for your character and had it left out, just go ahead buy it now).

[farothel]

There are things, but I can't get a full plate here as that's above the 900gp limit. So with a magical glaive I'm certainly good as far as weapons go.

EDIT: now we just need a plan.

[Spore]

I might be the only one but I feel we should get as much Holy Water as we can get our fingers on. 2d4 damage on a ranged touch attack of typeless damage is great. This should be Tali's action every turn she is not throwing out a spell.

Even if we "waste" 40 vials, we spent 2.000 gold, but that would also mean 40d4 or an average of 200 damage.

Yes

As you’ve reached the next section there is now a cap of 1800go rather than 900gp
(Effective “resource gathering” from the defenders)

[TankLaser007]

Yes

That's per total gear p/ person as in X items not exceeding that amount (excluding 'starting' equipment)?

[DrK]

Single items worth more than rather than per person
One person could spend all the group money if you wanted

[TankLaser007]

I just bought a bandolier (from my own funds), I can't think of anything particular in terms of personal kit needed. More interested in know what spells we think we should prep. I've made some sortable tables for Tali, Mong and Talisin's spells. Besides Talisin only Leonius and Jessica are prepared casters correct?

[Spore]

So technically magic armor and shields are possible, yes?

Because I wouldn't say no to a +1 Heavy Steel Shield and a +1 Breastplate. Along with fighting defensively, +2 AC is not too shabby to distract the enemy while still casting in melee range, though I feel I should take Combat Casting to up my ability to cast defensively in melee combat on 5th. Unspectacular, but wise.

Also I am STOCKED BEYOND BELIEF to assault the Keep. You may realize why.

e: Seeing my fair share, even if I am using mostly "party ressources" makes me think I should not take more stuff.

I would however be glad if Mong would take the Wand of CMW.

[Starbuck_II]

Yes

Ooh, maybe afford a +1 armor than or should we save for better merchants that have higher cap?
But I could use that wand if Leonius doesn't want it for emergencies.

Yes, Jessica is a prepared caster, but with one fixed spell and one to choose from a limited list, don't really count on me to do a lot of spellcasting.

If the cap is higher and there are funds that you are willing to spend on Jessica (who just joined), I won't say no to a full plate. I'll sell my current armour to offset the price slightly.

[u-b]

I think Leonius has channel for emergencies. It's now a bit worse, but then there are those potions... As for the armor, selling/buying every +1 to AC is probably not optimal, so, wait for the next price cap increase?

If the cap is higher and there are funds that you are willing to spend on Jessica (who just joined), I won't say no to a full plate. I'll sell my current armour to offset the price slightly.

If they can fit it overnight, then sure, go ahead. Otherwise I guess we can delay placing the order until after the garrison to see if a magical one could be had.

[TankLaser007]

I am for our melee crew having best armour and kit, as their survival and longevity contributes to the rest of us surviving. With that in mind what are the standard buffs/tactics that you usually use/depend on and how can we help?

If me preparing several buffs will allow other caster to fill slots with different spells that are useful and niche then I am ready.

In terms of weapons if we're going to encounter demons (chances are high) we should make sure we have:

a) weapons with inherent abilities to circumvent resistances
b) spells/items to impart those capabilities

[farothel]

As far as I can see, DR xx/cold iron or good, Immunity to electricity and poison, Resistance to acid 10, cold 10, and fire 10 (at higher levels, these can go to immunity), Spell Resistance from CR4 or 5 creatures.

My smite evil (2/day) automatically bypassed DR, no matter what it is. So magical weapons will also have DR unless they're also cold iron or good, if I'm not mistaken.


As to the full plate, that depends on the GM I guess.

[RCgothic]

I don't really want anything at this price point. Don't worry though, I'm saving up my loot allocations for later 😜

That is a great theme song for the party! Love it

Are you guys done gearing up and ready to rest/sleep and assault the Grey Garrison in the morning?

[Spore]

I am for our melee crew having best armour and kit, as their survival and longevity contributes to the rest of us surviving. With that in mind what are the standard buffs/tactics that you usually use/depend on and how can we help?

Drop Bless, Raging Song and watch Gashur tear the enemy apart. Tali murderates the mooks and the rest deals with the stragglers.

Seriously we dont really have a strat right now. My general idea would be to spot the melee in the best situation and buff them. Then I use my spells to ensure we hit more, and that we don't die. I assume with another frontline and another backline, I have to make sure the ranged faction is not ganked.

Longterm I will set up Aura of Heroism and Heroism on melees, Bless on everyone, Blessing of Fervor and Prayer. If I have time (or later on as quickened spells) I will stack Divine Power, Divine Favor and Wrath to up my own damage.

[Starbuck_II]

While not relevant yet (we mostly fought humanoids), I grant the the Rage power Lesser Celestial Blood if you accept my ragesong: attacks are treated as good-aligned weapons bypassing DR; additional 1d6 points of Dam to an evil outsider for melee attacks.

Could be useful vs that Tiefling Alchemist.

[u-b]

So, to confirm: we do it bottom-up? Not starting with taking out the wardstone?
