OOC:

Woops, right, I'll need to find a Circle that can cast Staff on that staff.  Boss, do we need to RP that?

Dilandua, I appreciate the suggestion, but at present I'm trying to avoid anything connected with the Mage Guild (I'm sure you can understand why).  Even if rebranded/tattooed, a horse might be distinctive enough to find with Seeker without any magical marks or other help.  I can afford a riding horse at the moment, which makes it cheaper to me to spend the $1200 than to get one of those horses scrubbed and healed.  Only question is if I can get one gentle enough for a complete novice rider.  Another "do we need to RP that?"

Having bought new Personal Basics and replaced the pouch I had from one of the guards, I don't have anything left on my person from the Guild party. I can't, at the moment, do anything about them Seeking me directly (maybe if I were to wear a nugget of sky metal, but that seems a little drastic), but beyond that, I'm as clean as I can be (and besides, they're an Enemy, I'll never completely get rid of them).

Buying a potion for $1400.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 605):

we can handwave the horse, it costs $20 for the staff spell,
healing potions cost $120 and up, paut costs $135

OOC: Excellent.  Horse, riding saddle, bridle, saddlebags (used Low Tech prices for the tack since they don't show in DFRPG, at least in the listings for GCS), and Staff spell accounted for.  Leaves me a little more than 97 francs to buy provisions etc. once we know where we're likely to go.

Have there been any updates on the loot shares (staves Identified, Guild horses sold or sold to slaughter, etc.)?

OOC:  I'll try to get that tomorrow.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 605):

what $1400 potion is that?

Magebane.  (Not intended to be used on any party members, btw!)

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 610):

roll under a 9 to get hold of that

staff eval was posted, they have staff enchantment, and one is pussiance +1, the continual magelight was just a cast spell.


horses sold at reduced rate because not healed- use the used an damaged costs

In reply to Narrator (msg # 611):

Can Alice heal them?

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 612):

"Consider it done"

In reply to Alice Abernathy (msg # 613):

So, new costs/breakdown and distribution?

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 614):

horses go for used 40% plus 10% for Dilandua selling....
$600 each

OOC: Failed!  Dagnabbit.

05:56, Today: Dne Utrotare rolled 11 using 3d6.  Find potion.

There were two ex-Guild horses to sell?  Or was it four, two wounded (now healed)?

In reply to Virgilio Hohlfeld (msg # 617):

All, so I am going with 4, 2 now healed.

OOC: So that'd be another $2400, split five ways is $480?  Or is it five and a half shares with Guillaume getting $218 and the rest $436 (ignoring a couple clipped bits left over)?

In reply to Virgilio Hohlfeld (msg # 619):

5 ways, no?

Virgilio Hohlfeld:

There were two ex-Guild horses to sell?  Or was it four, two wounded (now healed)?

OOC:  Three.  Plus the riding horse we bought at the start of the adventure that (Reanna wishes to keep for further adventures outside the city?).

I'm figuring out what the spellbooks are valued at, and will tally the extraneous bits and bobs (horses, staves, etc) in a moment.

Did Virgilio still want to keep one of the Mage's Guild horses for himself?  They can be rebranded and retattooed, and would be cheaper than buying a new horse (which wouldn't be trained to remained calm during a mage fight (yes, one bolted, but they remained calm while the head mage summoned up a Fireball, so they're at least spell-trained for the rider, if not combat trained).

quote:

5 ways, no?

Five and half, you were outvoted fairly and squarely.

OOC: No, as I noted earlier, I have what I hope is a healthy level of paranoia concerning the Mage Guild, which leads me to be concerned that a horse, no matter how well scrubbed, might be distinct enough to be a target for Seeker all on its own.  A bag or crossbow wouldn't be (and none the less I've replaced those items with newly purchased ones), never mind coins, but things like a mage's embellished Staff, a book (potentially with a bookplate, Mystic Mark, or marginal notes), and the like might.

"What's your target for Seeker?"  "Master Jerauld's gelding, with the blaze on his forehead and black left front hoof."  I'd just as soon not be riding that horse...

For that matter, I'd recommend against any of us keeping any of the Guild horses.  Thirty francs, or even several times that, is a small price to avoid potentially being traced through a "free" horse.  Finding the horse is in Northport doesn't worry me much, because where else would someone take a horse "found" on the road leading here?  Following it up and finding one of us riding it?  I don't want to be there, especially before I can learn some more combat-worthy spells.

In reply to Virgilio Hohlfeld (msg # 622):

Just checking about the vote.

Yes, keep the horse we purchased. There is nothing dodgy with that one.

Virgilio’s caution in regard to the horse is wise, in my opinion.

So… $480?

OOC: Dne, looks like more than that; spellbooks I (the player) had forgotten, and the staves that weren't in the original figure for loot because they hadn't been Identified yet at that time, and "bits and bobs" as Dilandua put it.

No great hurry, Boss is out for the weekend.

OOC:  And that's the last holdout, the spellbooks and documents... which are and aren't getting identified as we speak (so to speak).  But I'll have that post as soon as me and the ST get the last little bit of that hammered out.

In reply to Dilandua (msg # 626):

that silver and ivory document holder retails for $800, sold to Mischa of twight house directly for $400 even after he dismantled it.

you have two scrolls and a wax sealed letter, which you were recommended toopen in a no-mana zone to avoid any magical traps

In reply to Narrator (msg # 627):

And the guild has such a zone?
