Re: The Sundered Way - OOC
Hmm. Maybe. There's stuff going on for me in January, so I don't know for sure what my schedule is going to be like.
They've got me tapped to go to a clinic that's just a few minutes from home, which means I get an hour and a half of my life back instead of spending it driving everyday. The caveat is that if I get the position, I'll be a supervisor.
....
....
As a general rule, supervising any group of physicians greater than 4 is like trying to supervise a gunnysack full of wet, irritable wild cats that have just been goosed with a cattle prod. It's theoretically possible.... if you're a Sith Lord.
I guess we'll see if I need to start calling myself Darth Lurks.

Re: The Sundered Way - OOC
What was the decision on the magic swords? Did Randy want to try and trade the magic spear to reduce the gold cost?

Re: The Sundered Way - OOC
Haven't had a chance to put it to the group in game yet. As to the spear, I guess it depends on if anyone wants it or not.

Re: The Sundered Way - OOC
The only ones that can use it are Randy and Dornikal now. Not sure about Gordon though he has his lance.
Dornikal would like a magical weapon just in case but preferably one-handed. There will be chances to buy things in Estmont but who knows what can happen in between!
Either way it isn't Dornikal's weapon, it belongs to the others and he is just borrowing it. He won't fight about giving it up, replacement or not.

To be fair and for something to think about.
Most of the free magical equipment we get hasn't been as great as a +1 rapier

Re: The Sundered Way - OOC
While each GM can do what they want with this aspect of the rules, what I've read in 5e about magical weapons (and items in general) is that they aren't supposed to be real common. Which is probably a good thing since that would mean that the monsters would get to use them on us too.
Randy's been saving up for something like this, but it is still a pretty penny to get. Randy is a DPS expert, so it makes sense for him to use a finesse weapon like that. However in the event he gets gakked, you have my permission to loot his body.

Re: The Sundered Way - OOC
Yes, I've been giving out lower level magic early on, outside of 5e 'recommendations', because magic items are cool, and the normal distribution rate is figuring a party half your size. Randy passed a series of checks to even get the opportunity to buy the blades that Tell has.
Most enemies don't have magic weapons, so for baddies to have them but not use them and just leave them in the poorly locked chest... You have the plot of the first arc of Goblins.
So far, most magic items have been found via creatures who wouldn't use them, or they served another role.
Having the scimitar and spear from the Yuan-ti temple being used to power defenses meant that the guards weren't using them against you.
That will come, in time though...

Re: The Sundered Way - OOC
Dornikal is 100% frontline infantry, anything that helps with that would be great.
I actually like the diversity in magical items. A +1 weapon is fine but pretty boring.
Out of curiosity can that belt of hands hold a shield functionally?

May be on and off today. IT did something nasty to the mainframe. Computer's cutting in and out like crazy.

Well... Gordon has a Lance that he's fairly sure is his. Whoever he is.

It can hold it, but not wield it.

Re: The Sundered Way - OOC
I think he was answering Rodgeir's question about the Belt of Hands: It could hold a shield, but not wield it.
Boring is okay with Randy. Flashy is most decidedly NOT his style (Although he can be a little flashy when he needs to be). Holger and Tess had him pegged as stick in the mud when they first met. I don't know if they still think of him that way, but they've seemed to have accommodated to him regardless and vice versa...although Randy does seem to take a bit of enjoyment when he gets an opportunity to deflate Holger's ego a little.

Re: The Sundered Way - OOC
Not trying to push you guys into getting nosy and getting into trouble, but wanted to give you time to poke about if you wished. If you're content with a nice evening out listening to Holger, we can call that good!

Re: The Sundered Way - OOC
Been a bit of a shit week for me, but Holger will keep his magic to keep appearing like someone with teeth and just play a mixture of known songs, elven and fey inspired songs. So I'm ready for a time skip
Had they not run out of his mouth, pixies would be dancing around him about now

Re: The Sundered Way - OOC
Dornikal is kinda relying on Tess for the next stage of the plan, so it depends on whether Thinks wants a time skip.

Re: The Sundered Way - OOC
Unless someone else comes up with something, Randy is just chillin' until he can talk to the group about getting financing for the rapier. He'd probably be up to getting involved with various shenanigans provided it was for a good cause.

Ulmwin would be interested in digging deeper in the suspicious business concerning the girls death, but at the moment seems to figure he's already caused enough trouble- If others are to rope him in, though...

Ok, sounds like a consensus for the evening at least.
