Is it too late for me to change my Combat Casting feat? If not, that's okay, since I'm pretty close to level upping again.

Spoiler: Journal (click to show/hide)

To my sister who is gone,

We have reached the desert city. However, to proceed, we are buying a ship that sails sands. To pay for it, we were sent to a mine to deal with some monsters. Finni died in there to a Giant Cave Spider, Nael was immobilized, and Van was knocked out. There, we found a strange artifact. It was this... strange... purple orb. It had a weird magical power, but the others tell me it was a conjuring force. Our attempts to do anything to it were foiled. It was absolutely immune to our attacks, and when Corina tried to force it, it blasted her and Mystellar back. We were still dedicated to do something to it, but it did not budge. Magic acid was repelled, but nothing happened to it. We decided to wait, rest, and recover.

Three days later, we returned to the cave, and it was already repopulated with monsters. First were some Grimlocks. They posed little challenge to us, however, and we made short work of them, though Lyca was hurt. Then, we entered the chamber with the Derros. They were vicious. None of us died, and Lyca fought very well, though she was tired and somewhat wounded. However, the things were incredibly hard to kill, and they used a strange poison, some of which found its way into my system. However, the poison was weak, and we eventually triumphed. We are resting at the moment, as the librarian requested journals from our Corps of Discovery, and we don't want to return to these caves again to investigate the orb, and we may not be around to all write our personal views afterward.

One thing worries me, however. There was a Derro on the left that died as the fight was turning in our favor. I know not what force caused this. Perhaps it was a malfunction of the orb caused by our previous tampering, or perhaps it was even more sinister. His body was thoroughly destroyed, as if some omnipotent god had decided to smite the creature with the force of a thousand thunderbolts.

((I know the librarian didn't request them, but providing a reason))

And studded is taboo for druids, right? So absolutely nothing of value for me.

[mission0]

Hmm, if it's ok I would like

175 gp
Dust of Dryness
Magnifying Glass


Other than that we can sell the rest for gold and divide it evenly upon our next session?

[RedWarrior0]

Maelrigar could use the gloves for improved dexterity if nobody else needs them, but asides from that the only thing he really needs from that is the crossbow. Sure, he doesn't have the exotic proficiency, but he needs some kind of ranged attack. He's already got a lot of fancy equipment though, so maybe one of the lower level party members can use it more effectively.

There's light crossbows from the equipment.

There was an armor I was going to ask about. I'll ask later, though, when we aren't in a desert.

[RAM]

So... The first magic item that we encounter in the desert is dry sand...

If it were up to me I would probably give the gloves to a caster who likes to use ray spells, or someone who has the weapon finesse feat if there is such a thing, but the strength based melee would be my next choice...

As for monk/rogues, there is the Ascetic Rogue feat from page 106 of the complete adventurer, you could take the rogue class and the feat both at 3rd level. It allows you to continue taking monk and rogue levels and has a couple of side benefits to offset the multiclassing...

I suspect that 90% of the flanking involved my character in some way, although I may have missed something. And while I fully intend to continue summoning, I hope to avoid ever getting that close to a melee again...

[Lord Shonus]

Most of Corina's spells need touch attacks. She would benefit greatly from the dex gloves. I'd say give to tanglefoot bags to the monk, as his RTA is already high.

Corina would also like the ceremonial dagger as jewlery, and wants to melt down any unwanted metal items.

[mission0]

Well just finished updating my character to level three. Changed one of my previous feats and now I'm becoming more and more Draconian.

If I can I'll be getting a familiar as well. With three Draconic feats now I'm starting to get some decent power... I'm also liking my new breath weapon, that will be a fun one to rp for the first time.

[The Fool]

I think that I will take Ascetic Rogue, it sounds like a specific Monastic Training with perks. Oh, and journal.

A white light shined over me, Ethan had awoken me from my unending sleep. I looked around the dark mine only to find Finni’s body tossed in the corner like yesterdays ration tin. There was no doubt, she was dead. We carried Finni’s body and the hopelessly poisoned Nael from the cave. In an emotional flurry I rushed into the representative’s office with Finni’s body, and laid her out on his desk. In my fury I couldn’t face the truth that I, not him, had killed Finni through my actions. He said that we simply weren’t prepared, and I told him that I can punch through walls.

Poisoned and tired we stayed at the inn, where over dinner I heard Mysteller and the others discussing plans to re-enter the mine and steal an evil gemstone that nearly single-handedly killed the entire group with its malevolent gaze of death. I just had to put a stop to its reign of terror, so I agreed to help.

Upon entering the mines it had donned on me that we had not given Finni a proper burial and that she was still at the inn, something that we will have to deal with soon. Going past the steel portal of entry for the second time we encountered the servants of the maleficent gemstone of doom. One of which swiftly winded me, but I quickly responded by breaking his nose and at least one rib with just one punch. Magic, fists, and crossbow bolts flew. Marking the end of the fight was the flying head of an especially unlucky servant, Mysteller dodged out of the way of its descent.

Going deeper into the mines we found more intimidating servants, but like all servants of an evil overlord gemstone they had to go.  After fighting for a prolonged period of time we killed one, then another, and then one was struck by lightning of all things. We had routed our foes, nothing stood in our way of the power hungry mad-gem now.

EDIT: Fix'd the journal opening.

[RedWarrior0]

Oi! Myst only saved you. I healed you to positive HP.

[mission0]

I find it funny that no one mentions Nael pounding spells into the things repeatedly.

I guess you will all have to wait for his new ability, then you will have something to talk about.

[RAM]

In response to the request for a mass healing spell, I know of two vaguely relevant ones:
Stabilise, S.C. 204, 2nd level spell, heals everyone, friend or foe, within 50 feet, for 1 HP. It has its uses, but those do not include significantly improving the party's H.P. relative to their opponents...
Mass lesser vigour, S.C. 229, 3rd level spell, so I can't get it till next level, 1 target/2levels, so it is only 2 people until level 6, and it grants fast healing 1 for 10 rounds +1/level, so it isn't exactly fast, but still a top quality spell that I would like to request access to...

[Heron TSG]

I'll just take a light crossbow, then. Both, if nobody needs the other. I like carrying backup weapons for when we inevitably run into Lord Sunder. Money is nice, too, but I don't know if you guys are splitting that amongst the party or amongst the people who were there.

[The Fool]

I think that I will post the party gold total alongside my journal. Also, I have no work next Saturday and can definitely make it to the next session.

[Shoruke]

Gentle reminder that there *is* a session this Saturday. Much fun is to be had... goddammit not giving spoilers is hard sometimes. But there is loot in your future, ohhh yesss.... GOOD loot, too. I've recently read the Magic Item Compendium and it has given me some FUN ideas.

Ethan and Van have received their journal experience. Time to go update the OP so I don't fall behind on keeping track of your exp again...

The stabilize spell is mostly fine, but healing spells that require less than a standard action just kinda bug me. To balance it, you can either make it a standard action to cast, or nerf the range to 20' + 5' per caster level.
Mass Lesser Vigour looks fine. It will help in combat without breaking anything, but has excellent healing capacity outside of combat. I approve.

And you guys needn't worry about encountering a sunderspammer anytime soon; I'd only do that to you guys if I thought you were all way ahead of the curve in terms of loot (I am decidedly NOT under this impression currently), and there's a- nevermind, spoilers, dammit. Shutting up now.

[mission0]

No No, keep talking please I was enjoying the conversation!

[RAM]

Yes, nobody who could take the sunder feat would particularly want to, unless they were obsessed with their own weapon and enjoyed watching it smash other weapons or something... But there are some creatures with fun effects on weapons... Is our world mysteriously devoid of rust monsters, babaus, rhemorazs and their ilk?

Stabilise might be pretty good in the hands of one of those healing clerics that took all the healing feats from the splat-books, mix in some spell-shaping effects or use it against undead and it would make a nice, low-level option. But personally, I don't expect to ever cast it myself. Also, I suggest you make it close range, 20+5L > normal at level 7, close range doesn't exceed 50 until level 12...
