We resumed Casey's game today. Last session Casey okayed adjusting characters, I don't remember the details of the scope but everybody has the same concept with some adjustment to details. If you haven't already given/sent Casey a copy of your character sheet, either email it to him or hand it to him at the next session. (As far as I know he still doesn't have Character Builder, so he needs paper or PDF.) This session started with rewards from the last session. We are now at 3,250 XP. We got some gold which I'll detail later. Then we found a sign for an estate sale. It seems that another party of adventurers left town intending to be back within the month, and three months later their landlord decided to sell off what they left behind to cover the back rent. If they were renting a pad like that, and leaving this sort of stuff behind (and in fact what we got was the end-of-the-day dregs), I hope we don't have to fight against them for quite a while. Berrian, dressed in street clothing and bearing only daggers (it seemed more appropriate for a yard-saling expedition in a rich neighborhood), grabbed a pair of swords by the blades - making all metal-weapon-using character in the party twitch - and complained about how much cleaning they would need before even being fit for a trinket to give his uncle. The rummage-sale price of all the items was a bit over 200 gold; he offered to pay 75 for the lot so the landlord could go home, and ended up buying it for 100 (thanks to a decent bluff check plus several assists). Then we got hired as guards and will be going to Japan. Our employer is rather eccentric and was basically looking specifically for us (which made us highly suspicious of a trap) because we plus his servants/staff happen to create "matched sets", which at this point definitely include male and female minotaurs plus male and female trolls. There's also a human shaman - a new player, I forget his name, let's see if he shows up regularly. If I heard correctly the character's name is Kirag, but I am quite unsure of that. The employer's name is Ho Cheng. The Beggar's Guild recommended him to us and vice versa. Considering our substantial recent income, Berrian asked the party's OK to take a portion of his share of the party wealth in gold to pay "a moral obligation". No details were offered on why he owes this obligation. Everyone present okayed his taking 215 gold. He promptly went off toward the temple of the Pantheon. Okay, gold and stuff. 1760 gold for previous adventures -100 gold spent at the rummage sale +500 gold up front payment on our new job -215 gold distributed to Berrian Rummage sale loot and who claimed it: Berrian: Bloodclaw Butterfly Sword (Short Sword plus Brutal 1) +1, a matched pair The warden (sorry, don't remember character name): Heavy Shield of Protection +1 Yueldroon: Ornament of Alertness +1 Assad: Opportunistic Dagger +1 Assad: Boots of Spider Climbing Jebediah: Chainmail of Durability +1 Thom: Staff of the Third Eye +1 Unclaimed: some enchanted clothing, details not known Unclaimed: a ritual scroll and a chest that relates to the ritual somehow Unclaimed (possibly for Diane's fighter|cleric): Symbol of Confrontation +1 Unclaimed: Orb of Sanguinary Repercussions +1 Unclaimed: Glaive Magic Weapon +2 Total book value of the identified items is 9,400 GP.
