To be honest, there's not a lot in the bag to really entice me. I'll probably take the Thunderstones.


Captain Hesperus
 
Ha ha ha ha!


@Captain Hesperus At this time, Otiorin can safely make of only the 1st-level Feather Fall spell (and that would be to read it straight off of the scroll, erasing that spell). Later down the road, when he was able to cast 3rd-level spells, he could safely make use of the rest of the scroll. If he tried now to cast spells above his level, good things might happen, but there is a chance for spell mishap. And that can be bad. =)


@Sherwood I'm afraid not. Only arcane-casters can cast such spells safely. Use Magic Device is not only a Trained-only skill (meaning folks who don't have it on their class list can't even attempt it), but it's only available to a handful of classes (rogues and bards come to mind). For Use Magic Device-users also have to decipher said spell at DC 25 + spell level or they cannot understand the spell enough to cast it.


As for Luna making her own scroll of Fireball and using it, that is definitely true (she couldn't have made the scroll in the first place if she didn't have it in her spellbook). Anyone else who has the Fireball spell on their class list (sorcerers and wizards, but not bards or any other starting class) can attempt to make use of the scroll.
 
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that arcanists have to roll something to "translate" a scroll they themselves didn't create... I dunno where it is though and I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment.
 
Wolf Rawrrr]I was thinking to buy a sword when we get to Highwind or wherever (or maybe ask our own blacksmith to make one) said:
Dexterity[/URL] modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.


Special: Natural weapons are considered light weapons.


*Kaerri note: click here and scroll down to the weapons chart for a full list of what constitutes a light weapon.


Dodge


Your training and reflexes allow you to react swiftly to avoid an opponents' attacks.


Prerequisite: Dex 13.


Benefit: You gain a +1 dodge bonus to your AC. A condition that makes you lose your Dex bonus to AC also makes you lose the benefits of this feat.


Fleet


You are faster than most.


Benefit: While you are wearing light or no armor, your base speed increases by 5 feet. You lose the benefits of this feat if you carry a medium or heavy load.


Special: You can take this feat multiple times. The effects stack.


Shot on the Run


You can move, fire a ranged weapon, and move again before your foes can react.


Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, Point-Blank Shot, base attack bonus +4.


Benefit: As a full-round action, you can move up to your speed and make a single ranged attack at any point during your movement.


Normal: You cannot move before and after an attack with a ranged weapon.


Mobility


You can easily move through a dangerous melee.


Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge.


Benefit: You get a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks of opportunity caused when you move out of or within a threatened area. A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.


Dodge bonuses stack with each other, unlike most types of bonuses.


Far Shot


You are more accurate at longer ranges.


Prerequisites: Point-Blank Shot.


Benefit: You only suffer a –1 penalty per full range increment between you and your target when using a ranged weapon.


Normal: You suffer a –2 penalty per full range increment between you and your target.

Thank you @Sherwood and @Kaerri for clarifications.


I think I might grab Weapon Finesse as it seems that alone would boost my melee skills considerably, and afterwards explore the Mobility tree *howl*


So Rapier is the only sword that falls within the parameters of Weapon Finesse, eh? I think I best be getting one of those then.
 
I do my best to try and help, but apparently, I still make the occasional mistake. At least Dannigan and Kaerri are there to cover the bases.


Here is a song that I dedicate to Kaerri, the lady of our group:

Well, Luna has put in her interest vote for the two scrolls and the amulet of protection. If someone else needs the bonus to the saving throws, I'll pass on it, but I would really like the spells for my book.
 
Short swords fall into the "light" category and are thus covered under Weapon Finesse. Rapiers are listed particularly because they aren't in the "light" category (they're in "one-handed" instead), but the style one uses with them is assumed to be weapon-finesse-y (as opposed to a battleaxe, also in the "one-handed" category) and thus they're included in the list for the feat.
 
I had to edit my last post (on page 3, involving Bria and the Amulet of Protection) took about four times before I got it right. If you have read it very recently, do please read it again? The characters in my head kept adding stuff! =)
 
So as soon as we're done looting the dead, we should be on our way somewhere aren't we? Was there not something about damsels in distress? *rawrrr*
 
Oh, yes. In this storyteller's head, I want to get you all there, trained, with Bren, as soon as I can. The damsels, for one thing, would appreciate you all being there, trained, and with a Bren. The only thing there isn't time yet for is memorizing spells.
 
Too bad that Luna has a Cloak of Protection already or I'd add Bria's to my sheet.


 
Also, I hope that Luna didn't come off as being rude to Bren. I'm just trying to show some natural caution when someone new shows up unexpectedly.
 
Well even if Bren were a rampaging cave troll covered in fresh blood and headed straight for her I don't think Luna would dare another fire spell - not after what we've just been through :) *rawrrr*
 
@Sherwood I think your post for Luna is well-written. I don't think she's being rude; the words you chose suggest caution but also the invitation to a civil and friendly discourse. =)
 
Not a bit, he expects chance-met strangers to be cautious - that's why he called out before coming up, so that they were expecting him (at least a little) and "cautious" didn't switch to "fill it full of arrows and force missiles." ( ;) )
 
So, what goodies do we find in the hands of the minotaurs?
 
Death. No, not in the hands of the minotaurs. In my life again.


My aunt passed away suddenly last night (we were not blood-related, but she treated me like one of her own, so that's the way it is). Massive heart-attack. That's the 5th person in a year's time that I cared about that is gone. And, boy, you want to talk about a generous, gregarious, sweetheart of a classy lady, she was it.


I know that death is part of life. One day there will be no Kaerri, no Dannigan, no Killfire, no Sherwood, no Cap'n, and no Wolf. I have long-understood and accepted that. It is the natural way of things.


But right now, I sure as hell don't have to like it.


I am sure each of you have your own problems too, and I wish you the best grace in dealing with them. As for now, I'm going to sleep so I can write here tomorrow and enjoy every word of it. With you.


May you have a better day than I'm having. =)
 
Rest well, sweet lady, and know that you leave a hole in the lives and hearts of everyone who knew you. A flight of angels will carry her to those who went before her and she will return her love to those she left behind.


Also, re: no more Captain, if the saying 'Only the good die young' is true, I'll outlive the sun.

@killfire Hark! The call for a crafter by Travis's Trainers has been sent out! Or in other words, would you like Bronze to pay for his own training by fixing up some wagons and the like?


I hope you guys don't mind me "spamming" our story chat there. I felt in order to get things going, I figured Stewart Identifying things with the magical ring was the way to go.


I hardly seem capable of writing short posts in our IC chat. While I rather enjoy it (I feel like I'm covering all things necessary), are all of you all right with the amount of story and information I'm providing?
 
Its good for me. I have a Ring of Protection +1 currently, but I would like to upgrade it with the +2 Ring from the minotaurs. Am I correct in thinking that the new ring will not add to my saving throws? If not, thats fine. I am more interested in raising my AC. Does anyone have an objection to me taking it and putting my +1 ring into the pot?


Also, can we use the minotaur sized magic items to pay for our training? The only one that can use any of it is Powerpaw, and he's already taken what he wants. I believe that it would be a good use of the loot.
 
They're quite lengthy posts without doubt but I don't think they're too long.


As for the loot... WOW. That flail alone could pay for all of our trainings, that is if the trainers are willing to take it. If not we have gold enough too when we add what's in the chest *woof*


Here's to hoping that Bren can vouch for us because I don't think any one of us has any kind of proof that we're not on our way to pillage Highwind.
