There was a previous question about how much meta knowledge folks have. Let's say roll for it, but there are difficulty levels.

Hydra
No roll: It's a beeg boi
10: It's big enough that others have failed to kill it.
15: It's big and weird enough that going in spears blazing might not work.

In this case, I'll give you up to 15 without a roll needed.

Using the appropriate knowledge skill, I assume?

Or survival, or profession: hunter if you have it

On loot, I was having a hard time thinking of 'new' things I'd like to find. I'd be overall much more interested in improving what I already have but that doesn't play well with the idea that we are looting the city and finding this stuff.

Any chance you'd be alright with a Greek helmet version of this: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/c-d/cap-buffering
?

That could easily be reskinned as a "Helmet of Glancing Blows", so sure. Total cost 2005gp instead of 2k because it's metal, not cloth.

What are your thoughts on THIS, as a clever piece of ingenuity versus anything magical? Say, the scabbard is designed to fit a longsword is lined with steel in such a way that the act of sheathing/unsheathing it runs the blade along a track of honing material inside the scabbard itself.

Also something that can be explained nonmagically. That's fine.

Do you want your last 245 gold as coin and trinkets? If there was something else, let me know!
Apr 18, 2023 1:33 am
Yup, that works for me! Thanks

Kouru is a simple man, he'd be after masterwork weapons and armour:
Masterwork Composite Longbow (+1), 500g
Masterwork Longspear with Razor Sharp modification, 1305g
Masterwork Breastplate, 350g

leaving just under 600g remaining. For that, he'd have looked for the prettiest piece of women's jewelry he could find for his wife and a small statue, plaque, pendant, etc. depicting a horse. If that's ok, please let me know what he manages to snag, and any remaining he'll take in cash.

A +1 composite shortbow would also be 500gp. I'll allow that one since the earliest longbow I can find is still 1000 years too late for the Trojan War (3300bc vs 12th or 13th century bc)

Kouru: All loot claimed. (MWK C shortbow: 500, mwk razor sharp longspear: 1305, mwk breastplate: 350, a palm-sized horse carved of marble: 30, a pair of ornate pearl and gold earrings with a motif referencing Aphrodite: 100, with matching necklace: 300, 165 in gold coins)

Iantha: All loot claimed. (darkwood shield: 257, elysian bronze armor: 2200, both for Chryseis upgrade. ~ 2 jeweled arm cuffs worth 100 gold each, 93 gold in coins)

Nikias: All loot claimed. (Helm of Glancing Blows: 2005, whetstone scabbard: 500, gold chain with a jeweled butterfly pendant: 120, thin rigid gold necklace with a knot motif: 60, 65 gold in coins

And it looks like we're set!

So, for funsies, here's how Survival checks will be adapted for high-duress situations like, you know, the wrath of the gods.

Note that normal Survival and navigation will be, well, normal.

But! During chaos, every point someone fails by will knock you one compass point (out of 8) off-course. Each point someone succeeds by will go toward correcting course. With some slight occasional modifications, so I don't make up too many nonexistent islands and such. Like, this time y'all were specifically looking for an island, so I chose one that wasn't basically back the way you came.

Should keep things interesting. Or at least ensure y'all don't get back to Sparta and Ithaca on time ;)

Loot update! Everyone has an allowance of 3000gp.

You are still in the same world, so the availability of stuff is pretty much the same as in Troy. This does not account for what your men were allocated, but rest assured they were. Allocate yours as you wish. You're all the same "rank" for purposes of value split. Mundane gear, trinkets, art, and gold are available, just no food.

Here are some of the noteworthy items:

The Trojan Ship will be "bought" by your leaders and the funds split among your crew, unless you have another plan for it. If you do, just let me know. It's worth 10k gold in prime condition. Probably 5k now

The Fishing Boat in its current state is worth about 600 gold. One of you can claim it, or you can assume it will be sold and the money split three ways.

Masterwork Snag Net, 330gp

2 sets of Vicious Caltrops, worth 50gp each.


Key of Lock Jamming, 400gp
[ +- ] loot availability
You have not leveled up yet, but for future reference
here's the automatic progression
Recall you get half the usual gold in this system, but it works out because you don't have access to many magic items.

Thanks! Is this to account for things we find amongst the ship's contents?

Nikias finds and claims a spyglass and a set of mithril manacles. 3015gp removed from his pool

Anyone need treasure help?
Apr 30, 2024 8:12 pm
Sorry, I know I need to post.

Though yeah also slightly blanking on the treasure but not sure she needs much :P.
