Picking up "Grim Reaper", putting points in PWR+DEX, and skills into inquiry+scavenge. I'd also like to retrain "Beso Toxico" for "Image".

I want to switch to Warrior after next boss fight we have. If we level up before then, I'll pick up Beso Toxico again. On the off-chance we don't fight a boss before two level-ups happen, I'll pick up Unspell for level 4.

Going to change, MErc?

House rules update. The new status is described there, but it's basically an offshoot of sleep with a different resolution method. A consumable exists to cure it, one you'll likely come across sooner rather than later.

[Merc]

Nah, I think I'll wait until after this adventure (I'm assuming we're still heading towards Sparrow's Tomb). I think I do want to pick up Beso Toxico before I level-up, this was a lot faster opportunity than I was expecting initially, honestly.

[Merc]

Edited sheet, shifting skills based on changes:
Dropped -1 Escape, -2 Lore (General), -1 Scavenge, -3 Tinkering.
Added +4 Alchemy, +1 Inquiry, +1 Athletics, +1 Thievery.

Okay, with party turnover there's some business we need to take care of. First off, the bag of holding is returned to the party. Who wants to carry it? The items in the bag of holding are also returned to the party, as well as the Phoenix Down Crow claimed at the end of last session. See below for a list of items in the bag and the bag's description.

Second of all, it seems a new initiative system would behoove us. Yeah, having it be all one side and then the other is easy and quick, but it has obvious drawbacks. For the moment we're gonna try this for initiative: Rule of initiative needs to suck less. At the start of combat, everyone rolls 2d10 and initiative goes from low to high. Ties are broken in favor of the PCs. Initiative lasts for the whole combat and cycles at the end of the round.

This system isn't perfect and doesn't take into account any of your stats, but it'll do for now. We'll see how it goes for a few sessions and work from there.

Key Item: Bag of Holding

This bag does not take an inventory slot. It can store up to twenty items within it. Such items are securely kept and do not count against your inventory limit. However, it takes a bit of time to get an item out, so you can't take items out of the bag during combat. (Current capacity is 11/20.)

[Iron Dragoon]

Uh, Id on't see any reason for me to carry and/or claim any of that. If, however, no one else wants to lug it around, I will. The bag might be semi-useful for my tinkering/cooking supplies. But that depends on how often I use them, which as of now, I have no idea on.

[Nephrite]

Morrie would probably take the bag, but not the Phoenix Down.

[Anastasia]

Okay, add the bag and any unclaimed contents still in it to your sheet, Morrie. Since the previous adventure is over, feel free to split the gil you won between yourself and Santos. If you want to sell anything or engage in some recreational synthesis, go ahead as well.

[Anastasia]

Two points. First, am I due to make rulings on anything I forgot? Second, can I get a volunteer to post logs?

[Iron Dragoon]

So. I talked with Dune and did some figuring. Currently, with my +7 tinker bonus, my average roll is about a 14, with a bit of leeway either way. Did a couple test rolls and got this range:

> roll 2d6+7
* Hatbot --> "Iddy rolls 2d6+7 and gets 17."12 [2d6=5, 5]
> roll 2d6+7
* Hatbot --> "Iddy rolls 2d6+7 and gets 17."12 [2d6=6, 4]
> roll 2d6+7
* Hatbot --> "Iddy rolls 2d6+7 and gets 9."12 [2d6=1, 1]

So, even with a total fail of rolling, I can guarantee making anything up to Moderate (9). With a bit of luck, I can make Heroic (17) stuff.

If there's anything you guys want that's up to Heroic let me know so I can start making a list of components I  need to get/find and get the stuff built.

[Anastasia]

Not quite. Snake eyes is an automatic failure and complication, remember. So there is a small chance of catastrophe.

For reference, moderate(9) is tier 2, challenging(11) is tier 3, impressive(14) is tier 4 and so on and heroic(17) is tier 5.

[Veryslightlymad]

Me and my abysmal HP could stand a protect ring, if you're offering.

[Anastasia]

I'll be posting Paslch's shops throughout the afternoon. Just a heads up, y'all.

[Anastasia]

Okay, could one of you be nice and round up all the various components the party has handy and list them here?

What's left:

Zombie Eye: Tier 2 component, eye.
Zombie Eye: Tier 2 component, eye.
Zombie Eye: Tier 2 component, eye.
Iron Scrap: Tier 2 component, iron/metal.
Glass Scrap: Tier 2 component, glass.

Also, in the future, whenever someone synthesizes something, please be sure to list what component you're using. No one listed anything except gil costs before.
