Session Start: Fri Jun 16 18:58:52 2000

*** Now talking in #nightbelow

*** Topic is 'The Pacers Last Stand'

<Saif> * First part of the session will be winding up Jville time, then heading into the UD, talking to whoever you want to talk to there, then proceeding on.

<Thengal> Hey Galen

<Castinar> Sorry I'm late --- had a late part come in at work

<Saif> * depending on how fast you guys move this may be a somewhat short session.

<Saif> * I have a few short encounters and then an extensive one that I'm not ready for yet. So we'll see how far you get.

<Saif> Hey Galen

*** Thengal has quit IRC (Leaving)

*** Thengal has joined #nightbelow

<Amber> Did Amber get what she listed in the post I sent? I don't want to go looking for my inscence and find I don't have it. <G>

<Kat> Oh yeah, they also made it possible to backstab with missile weapons.

<Nikki> can i backstab with an explosive?

<Amber> Shooting or hand held?

<Nikki> maybe a hand grenade?

<Saif> That's another of the things I want to take care of tonight - non-role-playing actions in Jurgenville that haven't be resolved.

<Amber> k

<Kat> Amber, does not matter, just that target must be within 30ft.

<Saif> Amber - none of the "magic" incense from Aurora's is available in this game.

<Kat> It's not a backstab, it's a Sneak Attack.

<Sane> backstab=backshot

<Sane> beauty

<Amber> Saif, 'RATS!' <g> guess I'll have to think up someting else if you don't mind..in email.

<Amber> Sounds nice...backstab that is.

<Sane> that's how I play it now

<Kat> How much is land on the other side of Jurgenville?

<Kat> Does the group want to purchase any?

<Sane> *BRB COTBB (checking on the basketball game)

<Kat> Can we abuse Diana's Portal Spell and make skiing resorts?

<Nikki> we should buy all the land around JV and then sell it back at a handsome profit as the city tries to grow

<Saif> There is about half as much land as you have now that is still available. The price per square mile has gone up a bit. You'll have to pay 40,000 gp to get it. It is mostly located back away from the road, near the stream across the southern part of the valley.

<Castinar> As I recall, with that last "haul" the consensus was to buy the land.... we can easily afford it

<Nikki> I wouldn't call it a consensus.

<Kat> The consensus was to purchase the land around the fort

<Kat> Not to just buy land.

<Saif> There is no more land to buy around TSR

<Kat> I thought you said that the land near Sembia was going to be less expensive.

<Kat> oh well

<Saif> Market fluxuations

<Kat> Any magic missiles for sale?

<Saif> #### So what other actions in Jville need to be resolved before we press on? ####

<Kat> arrows, bolts, and bullets?

<Saif> Arrows - let me see....

<Amber> salt, baking soda, jars

<Kat> The temples have had healing potions, does the group want to try to purchase some if they have them?

<Thengal> I did ask Kat to check about that shipment of Ironwood

<Kat> Not til spring if it's not in.

<Thengal> Thanks Kat

<Kat> So, Thengal, you might as well go to town and find out

<Kat> Castinar, did you resupply?

<Amber> They may have a few, the last time we were here I got a couple. They're expensive and may have gone up..at Tymora's temple that is. I could inquire if you want.

<Kat> The non-scent stuff?

<Thengal> What..... and leave me forge?.... Ye shudda seen da state o' our armor after tanglin' wit' dat dragon

<Thengal> Especially Matar's

<Amber> 1500 gold I thin...been a while. Saif???

<Saif> K, I'll work on the arrows.

<Kat> No problem. I can check in town. Yet, I won't be back for a week or a little more.

<Saif> The Ironwood is in.

<Amber> thin=think

<Saif> What's the price question on? Potions of Healing?

<Kat> ye

<Amber> yes

<Saif> db d100

<db> Saif rolled 1d100: [26]

<Saif> db d100

<db> Saif rolled 1d100: [82]

<Saif> Potions of Healing are going for 500 right now

<Thengal> OK, Thengal will find the time to select the piece(s) that I need.

*** Galen has joined #nightbelow

<Amber> Get as many as we can. Okay guys?

<Saif> Potions of Extra Healing for 1500

<Saif> db

<db> Saif rolled 1d20: [12]

<Saif> db d8

<db> Saif rolled 1d8: [4]

<Saif> there are 12 PoH available and 4 PofEH

<Kat> buy them all

<Kat> 12,000gp

<Amber> Okay with me.

<Thengal> Sounds good to me too

<Kat> If there are questions about that, Kat gestures to Armatage.

<Amber> High priest Dum Tiddis probably appreciates the business and 'donations' <G>

* Galen nods

*** Castinar has quit IRC (Ping timeout)

<Kat> I'm sure it didn't all go to Dum

<Amber> true, but whatever did, he did.

<Kat> Some will go to Val, Jon, and whoever else plays poker with Dum

<Nikki> money grubbing priests... all the same... "Bring out yer dead! Bring out yer dead!"

<Saif> Kat - that 12,000 is the total cost for all those?

<Kat> 12 at 500 is 6000

<Saif> And how do you distribute them?

<Kat> 4 at 1500 is 6000

*** Galen is now known as Castinar

<Kat> 12000 for them all

<Kat> one healing to everyone

<Nikki> Nikki will hold them all for safe keeping.

<Kat> two for Matar and Thengal

<Nikki> And the extra robes of the archmagi as well

* Sane wouldn't mind holding one of the extra-healing ones...

<Kat> Extra for Matar, Thengal, Sane, and Nikki?

<Sane> no, I like Matar and Thengal better

<Sane> that makes more sense

<Kat> Extra Healing potions

<Kat> There are four

<Castinar> If we give them an extra, we should give them one normal perhaps instead of two?

<Sane> two for each of them

<Kat> We have 10 people

<Sane> who else should get the extras, then?

<Kat> One for each

<Kat> Two for Matar and Thengal

<Sane> right, but Castinar is suggesting something different

<Kat> Extra Healing potions for Matar, Thengal, Sane, and Nikki.

<Sane> ok

<Sane> Cast, is that ok with you?

<Castinar> No -- suggesting if we give them the extra heals, not to give them two normal heals as well

<Kat> I figure they are most likely to use them.

* Castinar agrees

<Castinar> *an extra healing would probably kill me <VBG>

<Kat> yup

* Saif shakes his head, trying to figure out who is going to end up with what

<Sane> just like Kat outlined

<Saif> Sane - tell me who gets what when the final decision is made (or tell me who will tell me)

<Saif> OK, everybody gets 1 PoH, M and T get 2 PoH, M, T, S, and N get 1 PoEH. Correct?

<Kat> yes

<Thengal> Fine by me

<Sane> yes

<Saif> ### OK, I'll go make the entries on my character sheets. You all make the appropriate entries on your own versions.

<Saif> making entries... back in a bit

<Nikki> ?

<Nikki> 1 potion total or 2 total?

<Sane> Nikki gets one Healing Potion, and one Extra Healing Potion

<Nikki> k

<Nikki> thanks

<Kat> arrows

<Kat> bolts?

<Kat> bullets?

<Sane> fireballs

<Kat> Magic gloves?

<Amber> magic shoes? waterballs?

<Kat> I have magic shoes

<Sane> Saif, has Sane ever seen a griffon?

<Amber> just kidding

<Amber> Amber wants to move a bit faster sometime soon, frustrated at not getting to injured fast enough. fast shoes go to fighters first though.

<Sane> ***Sane volunteers to goose Amber occasionally if she thinks that would help.

<Amber> honk, honk! no thanks.

<Nikki> youre both goofy

<Amber> no, goofy is a dog, Ambers no longer a dog.

*** Galen has joined #nightbelow

<Nikki> that can be arranged

<Nikki> hi

* Galen sighs

<Saif> OK, sorry for the delay - had to update each sheet plus party sheet

*** Castinar has quit IRC (Ping timeout)

*** Galen is now known as Castinar

<Saif> Sane - maybe - you have seen Diana's magical spell that looks like a griffon, although it didn't survive for long

<Sane> would that be enough for me to summon one with Shadow Monsters?

<Saif> Yes. You could always ask Diana to cast it a few times for you while at TSR so you could study it

<Sane> Saif, how many HD do trolls have? 5?

<Saif> Ok, on arrows:

<Saif> db d10

<db> Saif rolled 1d10: [5]

<Saif> db 5d76

<db> Saif rolled 5d76: [156] 51 12 7 25 61

<Sane> OK, Sane asks Diana to do this for him.

<Saif> db d10

<db> Saif rolled 1d10: [1]

<Saif> db d100

<db> Saif rolled 1d100: [60]

<Saif> OK, while I'm rolling the arrows Ari has an announcement to make. (Go for it, Kim)

<Nikki> You're pregnant! That's great!

<Ari> I wish

<Nikki> :)

<Ari> "I have found the book!"

<Saif> db d10

<db> Saif rolled 1d10: [9]

<Ari> "And read it."

<Nikki> It would only lead to another child.

<Ari> "And seen my angel again

<Amber> "Oh that's great!"

<Nikki> "Does it say how we're to find The Chosen One?"

<Sane> *Sane does his best Mr. Burns imitation <g>

<Ari> "No. hush."

<Castinar> Really?!! <the> Book? And, your angel again!!!

<Kat> Unlike others, Kat quietly listens.

<Ari> "And was taken to Myth Drannor (is that how its spelled??) and we had a lovely ceremony."

<Kat> 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

* Castinar whispers to himself "Myth Drannor???!"

<Kat> cat on keyboard

<Ari> "I am now a Priestess of Corellon."

<Castinar> hehe

<Ari> "And Corellon himself blessed the ceremony!"

* Castinar looks confused --- "I thought you were a priestess of Corellon!?"

<Ari> "AND..."

* Sane raises an eyebrow.

<Ari> "Well yes but its an OFFICALLY title now."

* Kat has a surprised look.

<Ari> "As I was saying...AND"

<Amber> Amber thinks to herself..<blessed be!> and listens somemore

<Ari> "Mt Great-great-great-great-great-grandmother was once a High Priestess of Corellon and I got to meet her!"

<Ari> this last is said with great joy.

<Kat> "Great!!"

* Sane raises the other eyebrow.

* Kat will give Ari a hug

<Amber> A tear rolls down Ambers face at the emotion of it all. She beams at Ari's joy.

* Diana blinks, looking impressed.

* Castinar mentally counts back elf generations, trying to match Ari's grandmother to the time before the "Exodus"

<Thengal> "Me be's happy wit' ye lady." tis good ta be reunited wit' yer long lost kin."

<Ari> "Um..stuff that I won't get into now Sane. But there have been many drow who followed Corellon at one time. I am not the only one!!!"

<Kat> "What does this mean, Ari?" Kat will ask.

<Saif> * Castinar realizes that would put her grandmother very near the time of the Great War or shortly thereafter

<Ari> "What does what mean Kat?" Ariis so happy she has forgotten to follow all the conversations.

<Kat> "Being a priestress, meeting your great-whatever, and the blessing?"

<Ari> "Oh. Well it means I am a very happy drow."

<Ari> "And umm...well...I am a little more powerful now."

<Thengal> The old dwarf quietly returns to the fireplace and his pipe, thinking, or maybe reminiscing.

<Sane> *free XPs... damn.

<Saif> * Diana would know that when a cleric is given the Title of "Priest" or "priestess" that equates to 9th level.

*** Galen has joined #nightbelow

<Amber> Amber querks an eyebrow up at ARi being more powerful..wow!

<Kat> "Well, great. I'm happy for you."

*** Castinar has quit IRC (Ping timeout)

<Saif> * any more on this? questions or comments? I've got the arrows worked out.

<Ari> "Let see what else..humm..umm..well the ceremony was very nice. there were rows upon rows of angels watching. I was quite nervous."

*** Thengal has quit IRC (Leaving)

<Galen> I'll have to catch this in the log --- getting too many disconns... :(

<Sane> *brb

<Saif> brb - keep going

<Ari> "Well, if thats all then...I will umm...go."

<Ari> "Have a bath."

<Ari> "And umm...go."

<Kat> "You what to talk about it more?"

*** Thengal has joined #nightbelow

<Kat> "I'll listen."

<Kat> "Sounds like a great story."

* Ari shurgs.

<Amber> "You deserved our honors." Amber says as ARi goes to take her never ending baths.

<Thengal> Sorry bout that, had to reconnect

<Amber> our should be your

<Kat> "Are we going to throw a party to celebrate?"

<Ari> "no."

<Kat> "Oh wait, these guys don't celebrate."

* Diana would be jelous, but shes not like that :)

<Saif> * I don't suppose anybody finds it strange that she had a "lovely ceremony" in Myth Drannor?

<Kat> "I'll be happy to take you out to dinner on the town, Ari. To celebrate."

<Ari> "I would like that Katrina."

<Ari> *well it was

<Ari> *hey.did I get to keep the gown?

<Galen> You will go... where?

<Amber> Ambers puzzled by it but she knows little about that place...being an ancient elf thing.

<Kat> "Great. Take a bath. I know the place." Kat wonders, "You can tell me what Myth Drannor is, too."

<Galen> *Nod -- I mentioned it to myself in awe... <G>

* Galen wonders who does not celebrate?

*** Galen is now known as Castinar

* Castinar wonders too <G>

<Kat> *Castinar, Mr. Boring, celebrate?

<Castinar> How -- how did you find Myth Drannor?

<Castinar> *Moi? Boring???

* Ari lets go quickly, not wanted to make Sane uncomfortable

<Saif> Do does the party buy everything?

<Saif> door - brb

<Amber> Amber likes the bullets, if that is okay.

* Sane grows suddenly serious and looks at Kat. <Master? I think not. Not yet.>

<Sane> we buy it; without objection

<Castinar> hehe

* Kat wonders how Sane would look if he wasn't serious.

<Nikki> brb

<Nikki> nikki thinks we should buy all this stuff.

<Saif> calculating price...

<Sane> *now if I could find one of those books for illusionists, like Ari got, well...

<Castinar> Hehe -- I have to write my <own> book --- as the only Grey Ranger/Druid.... only thing is.... I've no idea what to write <G>

<Thengal> No objection here

<Ari> *got? worked hard thank you very much...

* Ari grumbles about how they make it sound easy

<Amber> "Well start off book with 'once upon a time..'" Amber grins.

<Sane> *reading is fundamental <g>

<Saif> 15,240, we'll call it 15,000 gp for all those nice magical arrows

<Sane> *dang...

<Sane> *can I see a summary of what we just got?

* Ari goes to take a bath and get dressed up for an evening out.

<Saif> ### Note that I do NOT track arrows, bolts and bullets. Once they are distributed (Kat's responsibility) you are responsible for tracking them.

<Thengal> Thengal sits by the fireplace, a somber expression on his face as he thinks about his wife and children.

<Sane> Sometime well after Ari's whole deal... <I have something that I wish to invest some of our money in.>

<Kat> Does anyone else use bullets?

<Amber> Not that I know of.

<Kat> Who uses bolts?

<Thengal> Can't use missile weapons, having only one I ruins depth perception

<Kat> So, Amber, did you get down all of the bullets?

<Thengal> one eye that is

<Amber> the 3? yes. Can always recheck log when I get off.

<Kat> "What mine?"

* Diana shrugs and says "I have no objection."

<Castinar> A mine? What kind of mine? Where is it?

<Matar> "Fine by me."

<Amber> I've no objection..can we get individual options too? I have a little extra left and was looking for a way to inviest it.

<Thengal> At Sane's mention of the mine, Thengal looks up in interest. "Haranshire? where be dat, exactly?

<Saif> ### Summary of Missile Purchase: 1 Arrow of Perseverance, 4 Arrows of Clairvoyance, 1 Arrow of Blinking, 7 Arrows of Extended Range, 9 Arrows of Screaming II, 18 +1 arrows, 1 +2 arrow, 1 +3 arrow

<Saif> 3 bolts of climbing, 3 bolts of paralyzation, 4 bolts +1, 3 botls +2, 1 bolt +3, 2 bullets of disarming, 1 bullet of fireseed

<Kat> Castinar, you get the bolts?

<Kat> If I recall correctly, only Ari, Matar, Shadow, and Kat fire arrows.

<Sane> *Thengal--Haranshire is the small area close to J'ville where the whole adventure began.

<Sane> *Saif, what is mined there?

<Saif> * Ted - eastern Cormyr, at base of Thunder Peaks (Jville is in center of TPs)

<Saif> * Gemstones, tin

<Saif> * fairly near the old Garlstone mine

<Saif> * hopes to find vein of same type of stones along with metals

<Kat> "I've heard of it. Who is Smylie?"

<Nikki> * death to smylie

<Castinar> I'd like to take a look at it before you spend the money, if you don't mind. Between Thengal and myself, we could determine if the investment will pay off or not... and I'd like to look at what has been done there previously.......

<Castinar> Lord.... now I <really> want to look at it!

<Thengal> "Hmm, me sees, Me could ask around and see if'n it be a sound investment, can we hold on da purchase 'til then?

<Castinar> Ask around?????

<Castinar> Why ask when we can determine that ourselves?

<Ari> "Smyle had the mine producing quite well."

* Castinar nods

<Thengal> Hmm, ye read me mind Cast, but yer right, takin a look fer ourselves would be a better idea

<Castinar> But, if the charming <Lord> Carman is selling it, I am suspicious.....

<Ari> "Lord Carmen can fry in whatever Hell you humans have."

* Castinar agrees wholeheartedly

<Saif> * I was wondering when Ari was going to let her feelings known <g>

<Castinar> LoL

<Ari> *I was trying to keep it in

<Castinar> She's done that, on more than one occasion ;)

<Thengal> "Me takes it ye've have unfavorable dealin' wit' dis Lord in da past den?

* Kat looks at Armatage, "Do you know what Ari is talking about?"

<Kat> "Sure Sane. Invest. It cost less than the land and could be more productive. What do you plan to do when the Lord cheats us?"

<Nikki> kill him

* Sane winks at Kat. <Perhaps I plan to cheat him first.>

<Ari> "Harmless? Should have let me rip his guts out when I wanted to."

<Thengal> "me'd still rather meet him an' assess fer medelf, if'n dis Lord Carmen is wort'y o' treatin' wit'. Dis could be some kinda scam ye know

* Matar looks at Kat, "No idea..."

<Thengal> medelf=meself

* Castinar looks at Sane --- shocked

<Kat> "So, are there any other humans in the room to help with this hell humans have?"

* Castinar looks at Matar

* Kat smiles to the wink, "You just kidding, yes, Sane."

<Kat> "I told you Castinar was boring. He never understands jokes, or scouts anything other than caves."

<Ari> "Humph. Cheating sounds good to me. Then he can rot."

<Kat> "Ari! Is that a good thing to say? What did he do?"

<Amber> "Why say that Ari?"...

<Thengal> Fine, me's not too comfortable dealin' wit' a fella kin get Ari so worked up, though

<Ari> "He wanted to..he...he..." Ari throws up her hands. "Thank god he didn't hurt Smylie or I *would* have ripped his guts out."

<Amber> "Gasp!" "What a horrible thing to do!"

<Kat> "When?"

* Ari just waves her hands. "Don't worry about me Thengal. I just don't like the man much."

<Kat> "So, Ari, you seem to have a different opinion of Smylie than Sane does. Who is Smylie?"

<Ari> "Symlie was my very first best friend. These others" she waves towards the Seekers "didn't get to know him well is all."

<Kat> "You'll have to tell me about him sometime."

<Thengal> "Aye lass, but me trusts yer judgement. Not too sure about dis, but me'll check it out if'n ye wants

* Ari glares at Sane. "You didn't give him a chance!"

<Kat> "Sane, I think you might as well invest the money. It can't hurt."

<Ari> "Go Thengal. check it out and form your own opinions."

<Ari> "If you are nice I may introduce you to the people I know at the mines."

<Ari> "Maybe." Ari grumps still glaring at Sane.

<Nikki> * I suppose Smylie was 'better' than Namhar for what that's worth.

<Sane> *Judd had to go and bring up the all time worst name...

* Castinar mutters under his breath "It would have been hard to be worse..."

<Sane> *yes, much, much, much better than Namhar

<Kat> "Worse than what, Castinar?"

* Sane nods at Castinar's words.

<Thengal> Ok by me, it'll probably hafta wait itl da snow melts tho, Me can't fly like ye can

<Sane> *OK, Saif; what's next?

<Saif> Magic trade

<Saif> You find a mage who is interested in trading all of the stuff you offer for a few magic items.

<Saif> He offers the following:

<Castinar> "One of our early---acquaintences; I don't anger easily -- but every time he spoke......"

<Saif> Either a Cloak of the Manta Ray or a Cloak of the Panther (Panther = able to move silently for 5 rounds, 1/day, increase hide in shadows percent 10%, turn into a panther for 1 hour per day)

<Kat> Being one on the other end of Castinar's anger, "I'm not sure what you mean."

<Saif> A Ring of Protection +2

<Saif> And 25 charges into Sane's Wand of Fire

<Nikki> I can't charge it?

<Kat> anything for the wand of frost?

<Saif> Or split 25 charges between the two wands

<Sane> what are we trading?

<Saif> All the stuff on the list that wasn't given out

<Sane> we can split the charges

<Sane> all of it? hm...

<Sane> does anyone want either of those cloaks?

<Kat> No

<Castinar> Manta may be handy when we get to the glass lake

<Sane> what's cloak of the manta ray?

<Saif> * Anybody know where the rules on recharging Wands and stuff are? I thought you had to be able to cast Enchant an Item first.

<Thengal> "me's thinkin' da cloak o' da Ray might be useful, be has a feeling, we's gonna do some underwater adventurin' soon

<Saif> Let's user turn into manta ray and swim around when underwater

<Sane> Does anyone want the Cloak of the Manta Ray?

<Kat> No

<Thengal> Just looking at all the wter-related magic we've found lately

<Sane> would you like it Thengal?

<Nikki> * Nikki is high enough level to cast it

<Thengal> I'll take it if no one else wants it, some one else can use the ioun stone then

<Castinar> Not on recharging -- just on the initial cration

<Nikki> the water magic thing is a red herring. I read the module. We're going to get transported to the demi elemental plane of sand.

<Sane> Matar, want the cloak? or even the panther cloak?

<Kat> *What magic are we trading for this?

<Sane> *all leftovers

<Nikki> about 25 itme

<Nikki> items

<Sane> *it's not that much

<Sane> Matar?

<Nikki> is this a mage? maybe he wants to trade some spells?

<Thengal> Shadow might like that panther cloak

<Saif> * I'm trying to find one other little but useful magic item to throw in

<Nikki> robes of the archmagi

<Saif> * no on the spells - he's retired from adventuring and has all the spells he wants

<Nikki> maybe he'd sell some?

<Nikki> trade items for spells?

<Sane> *what kind of attitude is that? <g>

<Nikki> *we'll have to come back and kick his ass later :)

<Kat> Is this the extra magic?

<Kat> +2 2-handed Sword, Mirror of Pleasing Appearance, Pin of Illusionary Appearance, Plate Mail +2, Shield +1, Dwarven Plate +2, Missile attractor ,Flametongue (bastard sword), Long Sword +1, Gnome-sized leather armor +2, Mace +3

<Sane> *Anyway, we'll trade for the Manta Ray cloak and Thengal will get it unless someone speaks up.

<Castinar> *Shadow smiles, but shakes her head, signing that the manta cloak might be more useful to someone

<Thengal> I thought we were keeping the flame tongue and/or mace for the guards use

<Nikki> not the flametongure

<Nikki> thats a great sword

<Kat> So did I, but I wanted to know what Saif thought as the extra magic

<Sane> that's right; a shield and a sword

<Sane> Well, cloak...

<Amber> ### recharging magical items page 115 in spells and magic book

<Kat> +2 2-handed Sword, Mirror of Pleasing Appearance, Pin of Illusionary Appearance, Plate Mail +2, Dwarven Plate +2, Missile attractor, Long Sword +1, Gnome-sized leather armor +2

<Saif> Yes - the plate +2 Shield +2, Flametongue, and Mace were all going to be given to people in TSR (as I remember it)

<Sane> correct

<Saif> So what Kat just posted less the plate +2

<Sane> ok, going twice on the cloak...

<Sane> *Saif, can Nikki recharge?

<Saif> * Did anybody find the rules?

<Amber> ### recharging magical items page 115 in spells and magic book

<Sane> we should get more for the trade if we drop the recharge

<Thengal> Sure, if'n nobody finds anything better, who ould like the iounstone then?

<Saif> * Have to be of high enough level to actually create the item.

<Castinar> Sorry -- posted private -- need to be able to enchant item, + highest spell charged item can release

<Amber> looks like you have to be able to cast enchant an item and the spell involved in the wand.

<Nikki> Nikki can cast enchant an item. what else does it take?

<Sane> fireball

<Nikki> got that

<Nikki> :)

<Sane> or cone of cold

<Sane> for wand of frost

<Nikki> can learn it

<Saif> How can you cast Enchant an Item? That's a 6th level spell.

<Nikki> 5th

<Saif> Not in my book it's not

<Nikki> 99% certain of that

<Nikki> ?!

<Sane> 6th

<Nikki> ill check mine tonight.

<Nikki> i think you guys have the wrong edition :)

<Kat> 6th in mine

<Sane> *lol

<Nikki> besides we're playing that its possible to overcharge to cast a higher level spell.

<Nikki> no nyah!

<Sane> ok, we make the trade. We take the Manta Ray cloak and Thengal takes it.

<Saif> Who gets the RoP +2?

<Castinar> 6th level universal spell

<Saif> And how many charges into each wand?

<Nikki> oh sure, send me those private messages telling me how your book is wrong.. keep em coming

<Sane> *brb; attending to important business

<Nikki> so can I overcharge to cast a 6th level spell? I've done it in combat before.

<Kat> You have to learn it first

<Amber> brb afk

<Nikki> not going to bother if i cant cast it

<Saif> No, not in this case. I'm not going to let the party start creating magic items until they actually reach the appropriate levels.

<Nikki> just recharging

*** Ari has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)

<Saif> yes, but you have to be able to create the item to recharge it

<Nikki> they wont stay put long enough to make anything bigger than a hamburger

<Kat> How's this for arrows:

<Kat> Matar: 1 Arrow of Clairvoyance, 3 arrows of Screaming II, and 6 +1 arrows

<Kat> Ari: 1 Arrow of Clairvoyance, 3 arrows of Screaming II, 1 arrow of blinking, and 6 +1 arrows

<Kat> Shadow: 1 Arrow of Clairvoyance, 3 arrows of Screaming II, 4 arrows of extended range, and 6 +1 arrows

<Kat> Kat: 1 Arrow of Clairvoyance, 1 Arrow of Perseverance, 3 arrows of extended range, 1 +2 arrow, 1 +3 arrow

*** Castinar is now known as Shadow

* Shadow smiles her thanks

<Saif> OK, I've decided to do something a little different for the last magic item. I'm going to send out an e-mail asking for 'votes'. The party will vote on who they think deserves another magic item. Whoever gets the most votes I'll come up with some new magic item for them.

* Shadow nods

<Kat> I could really really really use another magic item

*** Shadow is now known as Castianr

*** Castianr is now known as Castinar

<Kat> please vote for me

* Castinar will consider it --- then again, not voting for you might be <fun> <VBG>

<Kat> Saif, should you include that you can't vote for yourself?

<Nikki> ok folks i gotta jam. ill be home in about an hour +5.

<Saif> K, message just went out - and no, you can't vote for yourself <g>

*** Ari has joined #nightbelow

<Kat> Hi Ari

<Ari> hello

<Saif> Hey Ari

<Saif> If everybody wants to quickly vote now I'll let you know the results tonight.

<Saif> So what else, if anything, needs to be resolved?

<Saif> Oh, do you want to spend the 40,000 to buy up land on the east side of Jurgenville Valley?

<Nikki> Tharg!

<Nikki> Vote for Tharg!

<Saif> Hum. I guess everybody is voting. <g>

<Kat> Mogo

<Kat> I voted

<Kat> Message sent

<Saif> Ok PARTY MEMBERS ONLY! I did consider putting that in but thought it would be self-evident. I should have known.... <g>

<Kat> hehe

<Amber> back

<Nikki> Tharg is a party member on vacation.

<Nikki> He'll be back.

<Kat> A new foot for Mogo.

<Nikki> a magic foot

<Saif> Kat - you can vote for three people if you want.

<Kat> ok

<Saif> Speaking of Mogo and his foot - Ari, you should get him up to Laila's. you know they work on prosethics <sp?> up there

<Kat> sent

<Diana> bleh, im away from email. can i private it to you?

<Saif> Diana - sure

<Ari> *we also need tutors for the children at TSR

<Nikki> this isnt the star ship enterprise, next generation.

<Kat> *Tutors?

<Thengal> What, Tharg can't tutor (VBG)

<Kat> *They can use their parents and grandparents.

<Nikki> send em into the underdark for a few weeks. the survivors will have learned a lot

<Ari> *shrug. just a thought. forget it

<Castinar> Sure -- someone has to teach the childern to respect the lands ;-)

<Saif> All of you voting only for one person please re-read the post. You can vote for three.

<Sane> I vote for Shadow, Amber and Kat.

<Saif> Sane - in that order I take it?

<Sane> wait; I vote for Amber, Kat and Matar

<Sane> in that order

<Kat> I voted for Diana, Matar, and Thengal

*** Castinar is now known as Shadow

* Shadow sticks her tongue out at Sane (j/k)

*** Shadow is now known as Castinar

<Sane> *Shadow just got a bunch. <g>

<Kat> "Castinar, you know there is a helper in town that is deaf. She speaks through a sign language. It might be useful for you to meet her."

<Castinar> *she knows --- but she still does it <G>

<Thengal> Be hard to stick a tongue out when you don't have one <g>

<Kat> "If Shadow learned that, she could express complex ideas better. If you learned it too."

<Castinar> "A helper?"

<Kat> "Cleans tables. She is like 10."

<Castinar> *Shadow, and I, know sign language --- the trick is teach you all it <G>

<Castinar> "However, I would like to meet her -- (*as would Shadow)"

<Castinar> P

<Castinar> "Perhaps you could introduce us?"

<Kat> "She works at the place where all the paladins go."

<Nikki> * To untimely deaths?

<Kat> "Bad place to pick fights."

<Thengal> "Me clumsy finger cud never do all dat movin' around ye do. More likely me'll accidentally insult ye"

* Castinar scratches his head -- "I seem to recall Sigurd going to that temple complex -- is that what you speak of?"

<Kat> "No, it's a bar."

<Saif> OK, got it

<Kat> "You know, those places in town for drinking."

* Castinar grins at Thengal --- "That's okay, I probably do that all the time myself <G>"

<Kat> "Meeting people."

<Castinar> "Wells?"

* Castinar grins

<Thengal> Th/me chuckles

<Saif> Diana will be getting a new magic item. Several points behind her was a group with Thengal, Kat, and Amber. It spread out from there.

<Kat> "And having fun. Oh, that's right, you don't know about having fun."

<Saif> I'll have to think of something appropriate, which will be difficult since I want something a mage would be willing to let go of without too much pain.

* Castinar wonders where Kat got this misconception

<Saif> ### Ok, so was there any decision on how many charges in each wand, and whether you want to spend money on the extra land?

* Kat wonders how Castinar can just sit there and take this.

<Nikki> its a druid thing

<Nikki> now im stunningly late for being home.

<Kat> see ya

<Nikki> take care all. see you in 65 if youre still here.

*** Nikki has quit IRC (Leaving)

* Castinar wonders --- "take what??"

<Thengal> Me's got no need fer da extra land personally, but no objection if'n ot'ers wants ta buy it"

<Kat> "We don't need more land. Of course, it could grow in value and it would be something that we could sell, rather then rent, later."

<Amber> And theres the cost in guarding it too ...unless we think of it as another investment. Don't want to seem too greedy to the townspeople...

<Kat> *We can build a super mall with skiing resort

<Saif> No need to guard it. Right now it is just land on the far edge of town.

<Thengal> "A golf course, Thats the ticket" <G>

<Saif> Nothing really to defend except the shore of the giant beaver pond

<Sane> How much money do we have left after all the magic purchases?

* Castinar needs to work on growing the trees in the vicinity

<Sane> Where is the land again?

<Sane> Saif, Sane now has a Ring of Prot +2, right?

<Diana> blink

<Saif> On the far side of the valley - between the beaver pond and the sembian tower and between the stream and edge of the forest (pretty much)

<Saif> Sane - you want the new RoP +2? You don't have one right now.

<Sane> I thought that's what you typed in.

<Saif> Typed in where?

<Saif> Looking at money thing right now...

<Sane> in the trade description

<Sane> ok

<Saif> Yes, the party gets a RoP +2, I just didn't know who was going to get it

<Kat> "I think Sane should get the ring of protection."

* Castinar agrees

<Kat> *especially if Diana gets a nice item

<Thengal> RoP +2 to Sane then

<Diana> * I dont mind

<Thengal> Who will take the ioun stone, I won't need it with that cloak of the manta ray

<Saif> Party still has 130,000 gp left in liquid assets after expenses in Jville (so far - Nikki wants to create a few spells)

<Diana> * blink, diana gets a nice item?

<Saif> * Yes, I've got to think about what it will be

<Diana> * im not complaining just curious :)

<Sane> *BTW everyone, the Pacers won handily tonight, although it is meaningless at this point.

<Thengal> Yup, you won the vote

<Castinar> meaningless?

<Saif> BTW, that 130,000 is without purchasing any extra land. That's another 40K.

<Sane> *they're down 3-2. They have to beat LA twice more in LA to win.

<Diana> * really? wow. thanks :)

<Saif> So Sane gets RoP +2, Somebody else the ioun stone (any takers?) and Diana a Saif Special (don't get too excited - just a "nice" item, not a "great" one)

<Kat> *Then it's the first time a team has come back from a 3-1 standing.

<Castinar> Keep the ioun stone as a "at need" item

<Castinar> Might even let Amber be caretaker of it? If still has a use if we get hit by surprise by something

<Thengal> ok, how bout Amber carries it for now

<Kat> "Matar, you should hold the ioun stone

<Thengal> I thought Matar had the helm of Underwater action

<Saif> Didn't Diana get the Robe of Useful Items?

<Kat> I think so

<Kat> "How about Castinar? He likes underwater and putting people there."

<Sane> Saif, we split the charges between the two wands. 14 charges each, right. So, my wand now has 26 (12+14) charges. Is this correct?

* Castinar looks strangely at Kat -- once again --- "putting people there???"

<Saif> Sane - 12 charges each (offered 25, and with 2 wands has to cast Enchant an Item twice)

* Kat ignore Castinar's strange looks.

<Sane> Oh, ok.

<Sane> So, Sane's Wand of Fire now has 24 charges.

<Saif> * still sorting out magic items and character sheets

<Sane> *How long before Nikki can recharge? What level?

<Kat> 12

<Kat> long time

<Saif> I'll have to figure out what recharging costs normally

<Saif> Also remember there's a risk to recharging items - you can destroy them.

<Saif> ### Any objections to Matar getting the Helm of Underwater Action?

* Castinar has none

<Sane> None

<Kat> nope

<Amber> none objects from here

<Castinar> *has to take off --- making a trip to airport this morning, need a nap

<Saif> ### And if nobody speaks up I'll have Sane carry the Ioun Stone since he's party leader

<Kat> See ya

<Amber> ta ta

<Castinar> Stay alive --- and keep me alive too... <G>

<Sane> night Galen

<Sane> or morning

<Saif> Later Galen

<Castinar> catch ya next week (or in mail)

*** Castinar has quit IRC (Leaving)

<Saif> Who gets the · Mage scroll: Invis, Knock, Dimension Door, Fly

<Saif> ### Mages - you need to let me know what spells you scribe into your books and then make the appropriate rolls. Actually you should have done this by now.

<Kat> Sane has that, yes?

<Sane> I'll take it, but I thought Diana was taking it.

<Saif> Fine by me - any objections?

<Saif> Diana got the other one (there were two scrolls found, if I remember right.)

<Amber> I thought someone copied the spells from it?

<Sane> Saif, you have my spells.

<Saif> I'll have to send out an e-mail to all the mages in the party to straighten out the scroll/spell/spellbook issue

<Sane> OK, I'll take it. I don't think I've ever had a scroll. <g>

<Kat> "Sane, can I have the ioun stone sometime. I think it would be neat to use magic for my breathing, eating, and sleeping needs sometime."

<Sane> didn't Nikki copy DD from the scroll, or did she already have it?

<Saif> So I take it you guys aren't going to make a decision on the 40,000 gp for the land?

<Saif> I think Nikki was going to copy everything she could, then Diana and Sane would copy out of her spell books.

<Kat> It looks like don't do it. Nobody is interested.

<Sane> Wait.

<Sane> We still have lots of money.

* Saif waits

<Kat> "You can hold it in general. It would be fun to do, sometime."

<Saif> Yes...

<Sane> I think it might be good to purchase the land.

<Sane> We might want it later. Or we can sell it. It might be good to have it.

* Kat would like to purchase the land.

<Saif> * the way prices are unless there was an economic crash in the area you are pretty much assured of being able to resell it for at least the same price

<Sane> Why not get it? We'll still have lots left and we might be able to develop the land in some way later or simply sell it back for even more money.

<Sane> I say we buy it.

<Kat> me too

<Thengal> Fine

<Saif> * Unless I hear any objections (Nikki's not here <g>) the land will be purchased.

<Saif> K, I'll update the map showing your lands on the other side of the valley

<Kat> "It could make a good place to put a temple to some god. Don't you think Ari?"

<Sane> *future sight of Kenkutown <bg>

<Kat> *I thought that was under
