Loot thread 3: Booty, broads and booze!

[Anastasia]

Shouldn't 4d10 moved up work out to more than 4d8 moved up, though?

You're right, I misread your post as 4d8. Whoops.

Yeah, 8d8's fine and if you got another size boost, it would follow the table to 12d8 then.

[Corwin]

Oh glorious day! Since the barriers to improving my gear have disappeared, this is my plan for a gear uplift via Afina's talents!

(1) Millennial Armor

Spoiler: ShowHide

Magic-Eating Ethereal Millennial Chainmail, dedicated to the Triune Goddess (9,427.5gp/26,300gp, functions as a +1 mithral chainmail; +5 to ac base, max dex +8, -2 ACP, light armor; sacrificing a lvl4 spell gives you Fast Healing 3 in brighter than shadowy illumination, MIC p20; when making a successful saving throw against a spell that targets you, you heal the amount of spell levels, Magic Eating is MIC p12).

Ethereal (40) + 2x Improved Armor Bonus (2x20) = DC80

1,300gp (base armor) + 25,000gp (+5 overall armor) => 1,300gp (base armor) + 49,000gp (+7 overall armor)

[Corwin]

Lifasa loot

1 ring of protection+3. 18000 gold.
1 ring of clairvoyance/clairaudience: At willl clairvoyance/clairaudience, caster level 15th. 90000 gold.
1 full plate+5, +9 vs the attacks of good aligned creatures. 54000 gold.
Flying Chariot: This chariot can hold up to 2 large creatures or 4 creatures of smaller size. It can fly at a speed of 20ft (perfect) and can be sped up by attaching flying steeds to pull it, which increases the speed to 80ft (perfect). 50000 gold.

Hmm. So the full plate is EVIL, which is important, and it goes to the vault for now.

18,000gp + 90,000gp + 50,000gp = 158,000gp

Divided five ways to: 27, Afina, Hanna, Jaela and the Aurora. Each of them get 31,600gp.

[Corwin]

Jaela's current funds: 31,600gp + 16,030gp + 10,077gp (trip with Mirima) = 57,707gp

[Nephrite]

Updated Aurora Fund to 152319 and change.

Did we finish the long-range spell thing?

[Corwin]

This?

[Yuthirin]

Updated Aurora Fund to 152319 and change.

Did we finish the long-range spell thing?

We might as well put money into every offensive or defensive option we have. No sense putting it off.

This is coming up an an All The Marbles scenario.

[Corwin]

Anyways, if it was that then

Add long range spell capacity (Allows casting spells through Medicant and through the illusionary battlefield) 400,000 gold; 5 DC 50 spellcraft checks; 4 DC 50 K:A check; 10 days.

isn't bolded out yet in the Aurora topic.

As for Aurora boosts, I actually think we need

Sending Orbs(Planar sending, allows sendings at will from various points in Aurora): 100,000 gold; 1 DC 35 spellcraft check; 1 DC 35 K:A check, 1 DC 35 K:P check; 5 days.

before anything else.
It was fairly shameful how everyone kept rushing to use Wishes/Miracles/Reality Revisions to emulate multiple Sendings and there's no reason to!

As for the offensive option, how about:

Install fireball cannons in the outer wall (5d6, DC 20, CL 5): 80,000 gold; 2 DC 23 spellcraft checks; 1 DC 23 K:A check; 4 days. ---> Improved fireball cannons (10d6, DC 25, CL 10): 125,000 gold; 2 DC 30 spellcraft checks, 1 DC 28 K:A check; 5 days. ----> Superior fireball cannons (15d6, DC 30, CL 15): 175,000 gold; 2 DC 35 spellcraft checks; 1 DC 31 K:A check; 6 days. ----> Extreme fireball cannons (20d6, DC 35, CL 20): 240,000 gold; 2 DC 45 spellcraft checks; 1 DC 41 K:A check; 7 days.

Possibly tack on:
Long distance systems for fireball cannons (Doubles range of fireballs): 25,000 gold; 1 DC 25 spellcraft check; 1 DC 25 K:A check; 2 days. ----> Improved long distance systems for fireball cannons (Triples range of fireballs) 51,000 gold; 2 DC 30 spellcraft checks, 1 DC 30 K:A check; 4 days.

Cap it with one of those:
Turn fireball cannons into lightningball cannons**: 40,000 gold; 3 DC 30 Spellcraft checks; 1 DC 25 K:A check; 3 days.
Turn fireball cannons into holy smite cannons**: 100,000 gold; 2 DC 25 Spellcraft checks; 1 DC 25 K:A check; 3 days.

First, adjustment of FUNDS: 57,707gp-40,335.83gp=17,371.17gp

Then Jaela decides she needs more metamagic in her life, and shops for Rods of Maximize. She's tempted to collect the set, but the lesser one doesn't interest her so she goes with:
Rod of Metamagic, Maximize (lvl4-6): 13,500gp/54,000gp
Rod of Metamagic, Greater Maximize (lvl7-9): 30,375gp/121,500gp

That comes up to 43,875gp. 3,875gp from Jaela to round things up and a 40,000gp loan from Hanna should cover it, while leaving Jaela with 13,496.17gp for perishables (she's aiming for a book, really).

Given what she's earned on the last trip it shouldn't be difficult for Hanna, and it's a short-term loan. If she can't, I'll sell my ring of deflection.

[Corwin]

Favored Soul Mastery: 10,000 gold.

As expected~

[Iron Dragoon]

The dragon wants these two:
27's Prophecy: A strange book of 27's writings Filbrez got his hands on. Useful if you want clues in 27's unique style. 2700 gold.
Number Analysis: Analyzes the numbers deeply to create an accurate fortune for you. Much more powerful than Number Discernment, but also much more difficult. 1,000 gold.

This leaves Surraruthru with 58,522.77 Gold.

[Nephrite]

Moore's interested in Hope, but does not currently have the funds for it (he's about 34,000 short). Would Vel accept an IOU or can they work something out for him?

There's nothing else that I think would fit.

[Corwin]

If Yuth isn't buying Hope, I'll get it. Yuth?

[Yuthirin]

I'll split it with you, Moore!

Tryll is curious if Psion Mastery can be used a second time? He used one last time. 

[Nephrite]

I'll split it with you, Moore!

Tryll is curious if Psion Mastery can be used a second time? He used one last time. 

I don't know if any of the books work that way, though maybe this one is special? He'd pay 40,000 so Tryll would be out 37,777.
