I can't reconnect for some reason.

[Shoruke]

It always boggles me it says people disconnect twice at once, and then they don't come back for a while.

Also... dude, where's my players? We've been fluctuating at 3 or 4 people this whole time.

[RAM]

Sorry, I had trouble sleeping, I will try to wake up and join you shortly.

[Shoruke]

Finni, Ethan, and Maelrigar received 385 experience
Van, Tallulah, Mystellar, and Caex received 350.

loots, with Finni's appraise check:
MW halberd: 310 gp
Banded Mail: 250 gp
Everburning Torch: 110 gp
Alchemist's Fire: 20 gp
Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds: 300 gp

Journal entries from everyone mentioned above will earn experience. Except Tallulah, who wasn't there for this session; she only participated in the first half of the fight.

We have been travelling for some time now. I was surprised at how safe the roads were, we made it all the way to the human city without incident. We stayed there only briefly, it was nice to get a clean room and good bed for the night, but otherwise there was little reason to stay. On the road to the dwarven city we were set upon by a band of orcs, apparently bandits. I called some beetles from the celestial planes but the battle still took a hefty toll. I have done what I can for our horses but I fear that some of their injuries are beyond my abilities...

[Heron TSG]

How many times can I take the Battle Caster feat?

Battle Caster
Prerequisites: Ability to wear armor without regarding the Arcane Spell Failure chance.
Effect: You can wear one category of armor heavier that you normally wear while still disregarding the Arcane Spell Failure chance of the armor (doesn't apply to shields, etc)

The thing is though, I've already taken it once, and it says nothing about taking it again. I forgot to actually choose a bonus feat from being level 3, so I'm considering options. This one could help out with that whole armor conundrum.

Alternatively, can something be both Feycrafted and Githcrafted? (Sources: DMG 2) Maybe crafted by a half-fey Githyenki with a penchant for selling things to dem orx on the material plane?

Well, that was a fun one. I got that nature cultist to draw back the plants and charged right in. First swing went wide, but I gave the next two some oomph! One of the horses is wounded pretty badly though, so that'll slow us down a bit. Maybe Finny is right. Maybe someone's trying to stop us from reaching the desert. The enemy orcs must've been paid a lot of gold. What kind of orc attacks a clanbrother without formal declaration of tribal war? Nonetheless, they attacked us and met my blade. Soon I'll be too strong for such treachery. Soon I will find the fabled 'ocean'. Maybe it's within this desert.

Maelrigar's never seen an ocean, though he worships Procan. Entirely out of character, is there an ocean within sight of any part of Arcadia? Or is that too spoileriffic?

[Shoruke]

How many times can I take the Battle Caster feat?

Once.

Alternatively, can something be both Feycrafted and Githcrafted?

Not a hope. You could have one or the other though, I suppose. However, extraplanar travel isn't common, even in the omni-racial trade city of Rivershire, so finding a Fey or Githyanki smith is difficult, and their goods are going to be quite rare, and accordingly costly.

EDIT: I'll review journals on Monday or Tuesday, to give everyone some time to actually write them... and there might not be a session next week, due to finals, I haven't decided yet.

EDIT²: I read the description for blue ice. There aren't many deep, magical glaciers in the Civilized Lands, which means that to obtain this stuff, it has to be manufactured magically. As with all things magical, this is not a cheap process (you'll notice that according to the very basic Real Estate table found here that you can buy a decent-size house for less than the cost of a +2 weapon). Blue Ice is going to cost 1.5x as much as stated in Frostburn. Also, I don't know about the Australians and Americans among us, but us Canadians know that wearing a suit made of ice is a rather stupid idea. In addition to the -1 initiative and reflex saves, wearing blue ice armor forces you to make a DC 12 fortitude save every 10 minutes you wear the armor, or take 1d4 nonlethal cold damage. If you fall unconscious due to this damage, all further damage taken from your armor becomes lethal.

Cold Resistance of at least 1, or an Endure Elements spell, will negate the initiative and reflex save penalties. Cold Resistance of at least 4, or Cold Immunity, allows you to wear this armor as comfortably as very light iron armor.

Note that this is a rather light penalty compared to what would happen to a real-life humanoid wearing a suit of ice. Hypothermia, stiff joints, reduction in your immune system's general capabilities... fun stuff. Anyway, Maelrigar, since we're in agreement that you shouldn't have been able to buy anything like the armor you've got, once you get to the Dwarf town, I'll give you a full refund on what you spent (4500 gp), and you can buy something else. Hopefully, we'll both have the presence of mind to double-check our math this time. Mutual derp.

EDIT³:I apologize for the short session, and for the probable lack of session next week; it's that time of the university year. But once finals are over and the holidays kick in, I should once again be able to host your scheduled game.

[RedWarrior0]

Shoruke, is Wildwood armor (Races of the Wild, page 170 with a table on 169) or Darkleaf armor (Eberron Campaign Setting, 120)allowed?

Also, I don't believe I asked about the possibility of a Daggerspell Shaper (CAdv, 36) or Master of Many Forms (CAdv, 58, & CAdv Errata)

Of course, I don't plan on getting any of those for a little bit, just wondering.

Spoiler: To spare the 70MB DL that is Eberron, word for word (click to show/hide)

Similar to leafweave armor (below), Darkleaf armor is made of carefully cured and beautifully curved pieces of darkwood, supplanted by alchemically treated leaves of the darkwood tree.
     Making armor out of darkleaf reduces its arcane spell failure chance by 5% because the armor is so flexible. The maximum Dexterity bonus of darkleaf armor is increased by 1, and armor check penalties are reduced by 2.
     Darkleaf heavy armor is treated as medium armor for purposes of movement and limitations, while darkleaf medium armor is treated as light armor. Only medium and heavy armors normally made of metal can be constructed from darkleaf, and the most common forms are breastplates and banded mail.
     Crafting Darkleaf armor requires a DC 25 Craft (alchemy) check in addition to the normal Craft (armorsmithing) checks needed to make armor.

Banded mail costs 3,250 GP, though it's only in the table, not the paragraph above.

[The Fool]

I'm thinking that Van will have to use prayers as an excuse for a journal. You know, to not use paper and such.

It is my grief to defend those who travel. To remain within a city for weeks on end would be a waste of strength. My goal is to subdue the wilds of this world,to limit casualties and to bring safety to the people. Without my assistance people will die and control in the wilds will be all but lost.

While briefly visiting a town I discovered a group of travelers, a rarity of sorts. It is safer for both me and the group to travel together and we will more than likely be able to assist people as we travel, a most convenient situation. After leaving town we have found ourselves attacked by orcs. We have survived and thankfully no one was killed. This group is entirely different from those living within the monastery, they depend on materials from a small bag and upon the armor on their backs. Their intentions however are mostly good making them understanding and insightful to my cause. May the Lady of Grief protect us.

[Lord Shonus]

Could you kick me off your Hamachi?

[RedWarrior0]

I'll get my journal tonight.

[Heron TSG]

Is Corina leaving the party? I'd be sad.

[RAM]

I believe that you can right-click on a network and tell your Hamachi to leave it...

[RedWarrior0]

Spoiler: Journal (click to show/hide)

Sister,

Since we departed from Rivershire, not much of note has happened, except for one thing. The other day, a group of orc raiders appeared and ambushed us. Some members of the group believe them to be hired swords, a theory which I and most of the others do not subscribe to. In the fight, Lyca was hurt pretty badly, but she survived with a little divine aid. We drove off the raiders and got some materials, but they scared the horses a bunch after attacking them. Soon, we will be going into the caves, a venture which is surely to be a trial. Guide me, sister; Help us make it through and find Father.

Ethan

[Lord Shonus]

Is Corina leaving the party? I'd be sad.

I'm migrating to a new computer, and Hamachi won't let me join the network. Says it's full. I assume that if rouke kicks me off, I can rejoin.
