OOC Chapter 4

[Skyrock]

The holiday lull should be over by now.

Anyone wanting to stop Lusica or do something else special?
You also have a rack of unidentified magic items.

[Skyrock]

I'm assuming you will rest?

Anything anyone wants to do about the unidentified items you have found?

[dman]

Rest sounds good.  I just checked the loot pile - Wow! - I call dibs on the tiara! JK.  Do we have a good way to ID all of this stuff?

[Nanshork]

I know we've got an at will magic detector but that's all I know.

[Skyrock]

None of you has Identify. You have already found a source for scrolls though.

[skydragonknight]

Yep. I can tell you schools and how shiny the magic is. But will still want the scrolls.

[Skyrock]

Not hearing any protest, I have converted your loot into handy coin (assuming that you have bought professional appraisal, and the divine Identify scrolls). Details are in the Loot Pile.

You have 20,032.1gp, along with the following permanent items:
*Adamantine Ring (Frost for unarmed strikes)
*Amber Amulet of Vermin (Giant Wasp)
*66 Magical Arrows (Accurate)
*Codex Advocare
*Magical Warhammer (Spellstoring, currently stored: Inflict Serious Wounds (3d8+6, Will DC 16 halves))
*Monk's Belt
*Tiara of Languages (as Crystal Mask of Languages, but head slot: Abyssal, Draconic, Infernal, Karylus, Lilituan)

[Skyrock]

Everything but the Amber Amulet, the tattoo and the scrolls are assigned.

You also have some ~20k gp to spend before you go confronting the boss.

[Skyrock]

Here's what your allies can do for you to prepare you for the fight:

Tanya:
Can cast Shield of Faith on the entire party (PCs + Peri) for a +2 deflection bonus to AC.
Would have one spell slot left to Bless the entire party.

Nadja:
Can create 6d4 goodberries to distribute among yourselves.

Fuyuko:
No useful abilities.

[Raineh Daze]

I can think of plenty of useful things that Fuyuko could do before a fight, just not any that related to game mechanics. 

[Skyrock]

Initiative:
38 - Niko
37 - Hank
35 - Mist
34 - Yuki
31 - Peri
30 - Cellar Beast

[dman]

Can we get a giant wasp counter on the map and add it to the initiative count at 13?

[Skyrock]

Done. I've edited the latest map link.

[dman]

Thanks!

[Skyrock]
