Oh, well Merkas will take a nap while everyone works then…

I’m going to play through like we’re all going to get a long rest in, then. 

It can be a long rest if that's what you want. Strictly speaking, you didn't march all day. The sandstorm became too severe and you had to break camp. Marching through the night comes with a higher risk of terrain problems, weather problems, and a different selection of encounters and encounter risks. This time, I rolled a sandstorm. After a long rest, you'll awaken pre-dawn.

I did wonder about the effect of the dragon. Seems it is not so abandoned we might belive...

;)

These are all just concerns and anxieties that Buckeran has. He's an optimistic fellow, but a long life has taught him to consider variables. This may be a kick-in-the-door dungeon... but it might also be a stealth mission. It may even be a run-for-your-life mission. Who knows? In a chaotic land, little is meant to be predictable.

Larva are mean, but tend to avoid dangerous threats, which they see you as a pretty dangerous threat. They are pretty close to the bottom of the demonic heirarchy. How they ended up here could be discerned with an Insight score, DC 7.

Casters will automatically know that they're mainly used as material components for magical crafting, enchantment, spells and rituals... mainly of the Evil variety. 

How tall’s the mansion? 
Insight =4 

It's 3 stories high, with spires and a vaulted ceiling, 

Manors tend to have particularly high ceilings, so round up to 15' per floor, and another 15' of vaulted roof. So, about 60' at the highest peak of the roof, and 75' at the spires.

Well... that was the practice run for the new initiative style. I made it Trivial so we could iron out the wrinkles with little risk. But... uhhh... the minimum amount of fall damage exceeded their HP, so y'all didn't get to play around with it much. 😅

But, first thoughts, what did you think of the pacing?

I liked it! At least this last experience seemed pretty natural. A+!

It worked good. 

All in agreement. 

sorry for minimizing the encounter, just seemed a simple way to even the odds and level the playing field  

So, there still seems to be some confusion about who has how much loot and money. 

So I propose a guild treasurer. And I'm willing to take on some of that responsibility.

Kasi is basically your guild merchant. Any loot and coin you don't intend to take with you can be stored in her inventory. When you're traveling with her, she'll leave that with Orr the Unseen to attend (since they'll have a character sheet I can store the loot in soon). 

While either one is at the guild, they can sell whatever loot they have in their inventory if you request it to be sold, which will be converted into guild funds, a kind of shared bank account that you can access whenever you need.

Your guild insignia will work as a "magical" way of accessing your guild funds, which you already carry on your person. Think of it as a debit card. Using that signet automatically takes from your guild fund. Any other coins you carry with you still have to be brought back to the guild the old fashioned way to store within the guild funds though. And the Guild Signet cannot be used to access stored equipment. You have to go retrieve that the old fashioned way unless you find or build a magical way to summon equipment. 

Thoughts?

Works for me. There’s quite a lot accumulated so far and I didn’t want to assume anything about it without the others agreement. 

Sure. That csn work. I am just confused now how much we got. 

Here is what I intend to add to Kasi's shop:

1. Arrow Catching Shield
2. There are 4 other shields in the room of lesser rarity.

Amongst the other magic items you find some armor as well. The two most powerful in the room are:

1. There are 5 sets of armor of lesser rarity.

You find a sack of rings. In the sack, the three most powerful rings are:

1. Ring of Amity
2. Ring of the Ram
3. Ring of Resistance (you may choose your Resistance type, or roll for it)
4. There are 8 more rings in the sack of lesser rarity. 

You find a pile of wands. The two most powerful are:

1. Failed Experiement Wand
2. Wand of the War Mage (Very Rare)
3. There are 2 other wands of lesser rarity.

You find a rod near the wands:

1. Rod of Absoption (Contains 7 levels of spell energy)

You find a pile of weapons as well. The rarest amongst them are:

1. Berserker Axe
2. Starshot Crossbow
3. Flame Tongue Greataxe
4. There are 6 other weapons of lesser rarity.

You find a pile of Wondrous Items. The rarest amongst them are:

1. There are 2 other Wondrous Items of lesser rarirty.

You also find several potions:

1. Elixir of Health x3
2. Oil of Sharpness x1
3. Potion of Clairvoyance x4 
4. Potion of Healing (Superior) x2
5. There are 3 other potions of lesser rarity. 

You also find 5 Scrolls of Protection.

Handar will give Kasi the following items that Hastos had him store:

1. Mace x2
2. Crossbow x2
3. Bolt Quivers x2

Nonmagical items can be converted to coins in 1 day. Any magical items require the usual amount of time to be sold. Finding a buyer who can actually afford them is a bit harder. I don't remember how much gold you left at the guild, and I remember that Merkas left Buckeran with a ton of gems! Which can also be sold. They can usually be converted to coin in a day, because there was a gemstone vendor in town, but she's currently living with the Hachakee. So it will take a while to find a vendor.

• 1 Black Sapphire (5,000 Stl)
• 1 Blue Sapphire (1,000 Stl)
• 1 Yellow Sapphire (1,000 Stl)
• 1 Star Sapphire (1,000 Stl)
• 1 Jacinth (5,000 Stl)
• 1 Garnet (500 Stl)
• 1 Lapis Lazuli (10 Stl)
• 7 (5lbs) Bag of Coins: 175 Coins, averaged as Silver coins (175 SP)
• 5 (1lbs) Bag of Gems: 200 Gems, averaged value 50 Stl per gem (10,000 Stl)

But the gems alone are worth 23,522.75 Stl. Kasi does not have a safe large enough to hold that kind of coin. A chest can be purchased out of the earnings that can hold up to 50,000 coins. But, you may want to consider adding a vault to your Bastion. Once a vault is build it will be able to hold up to six chests, or 300,000 coins.

Let me know if you've claimed any of these treasures for yourself. I believe Merkas already claimed the Ring of Amity.

Updated. There were a few items that I couldn't add to the inventory because I no longer have access to them, so I converted them to Stl and plopped it in your bank.

You now have a guild fund of 10,157 Stl.

I'm a little tired from a long day, so I'll update the IC tomorrow.

This is great. So each have 10157,-

That is a fortune. Not counting inn the value of unused magical items. 

But it is utterly silly go on a mission leaving superior healing potions at home is it not?

O well...next mission we bring them along.

Yeah Merkas has the ring of Amity. He also has the scrolls of protection and all the potions: Greater(3) and superior(2) healing, elixir of health(3) , clairvoyance(5), and water breathing(1). 

Is it possible to instruct Kasi to have the vault built while we’re out? We’re potentially going to need the room very soon.

 You have a guild fund of over 10k.

You each have whatever is in your pockets. But if one of you spends 10,157 Stl from the guild funds, your guild fund will be 0 Stl, and no one else will be able to spend guild funds until some of it is replenished.
