On the buying equipment thing, if say I had a cloak of resistance +1 and I wanted to upgrade, can we boost the oringinal and pay the difference or would it be a case of ditching and buyinh a new one for full price?

I am amenable to boosting the original.

Whistler, Lostboy, Rock, if you three are still interested in Dinner with Ramsey, I would like times when you're available (list the time zone, since we're all over the place).

Also, ANNOUNCEMENT: As far as etiquette and weaponry goes, people will usually let you get away with having a 'ceremonial weapon' which is supposed to be a rapier, but you can get away with most any one-handed weapon or smaller (Greatswords and Scythes and such cause a few too many raised eyebrows). Same applies for ranged weapons. Pistols and hand-crossbows yes, longbows and muskets no.

Same goes for armor. You can have light or medium armor under your clothing, but Full Plate or the like will probably not fly at the Celebration or at Ramsey's Dinner

If you're particularly worried, you can invest in the Called property for your armor/shield (costs 2k, as a Standard Action it lets you summon your armor from anywhere you like) or the Hideaway Property for weaponry (Costs 2k, as a Swift Action your weapon folds into the size of the dagger and may thus be worn, and unfolds as a Swift weapon as well).

Glamered (costs +2,700 gp) is even more efficient, since it lets your armor look like normal clothing and requires no action to give you the benefit. (Only works for armor, though, no shields).

Well Im good for anytime late evening (11 onwards GMT+1). Tuesday would be good, wed & thurs a bit more tricky as IM out a meetings till late. But I can try and work around everyone else.

I can do late (after 11:00-ish) on Tuesday, but Wednesday or Thursday nights are probably more preferable.

NeoTiamat · Post by **NeoTiamat** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 7:56 pm

Let's see.... 11 at GMT+1 (that is, Europe Time) is equivalent to 5 PM at GMT - 5 (that is, American Eastern Seaboard time).

Whistler, I think you and I are going to have to try and manage a bit earlier in the day, since 'late' for us is 'small hours of the morning' for them.

The Whistler · Post by **The Whistler** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 8:05 pm

I can try, but I've actually got an in-person game session going on Tuesday night; it should end at 10:00 or 10:30, but I've got to trek clear across the city to get home. Wednesday and Thursday, I'll be free a good deal earlier. If I'm the one constraint on a workable sideRP, then I'd be happy to bow out and let Rock and Lostboy do their thing--Otto's got Happy Wildlife Adventures to go on, so I wouldn't be left out of the preparations.

Also, on an entirely different topic: the way things are being scheduled, I just realized that we may have a final battle for the freedom of Port-a-Lucine *on* Independence Day... I think that's kind of excellent for some reason.

NeoTiamat · Post by **NeoTiamat** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 8:50 pm

Possible, though I would be surprised. But possible.

Also, looking like Wednesday might be better. For tomorrow after your game, perhaps we could do the "Otto canvasses the animal population of Port-a-Lucine" ?

If suggestions from the peanut gallery are allowed, other options might include: glove of storing (10k), wand bracelet (12k), or simply having Lia buy a shrink item scroll (375gp), learn the spell (if she doesn't know it already), and cast it on some strategic items. For armor, a hat of disguise is only 1800gp...

NeoTiamat · Post by **NeoTiamat** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 9:52 pm

Hadn't thought of a Hat of Disguise, though that would actually work pretty well. Uses a head slot, but I don't think most of the warrior types (who would need this most) are using it.

================================================

Also, a clarification on deadlines. Basically, I am running this from the point of view of "So long as the PCs are actively prepping, we can hold off on starting the Ceremony." So, as long as there are lots of outstanding RPs and more to the point, plans to carry them out, then I'm okay with holding off.

Once all the planning/RPs are out of the way, then we'll progress.

No worries I'm happy to work around to keep you on board for it.

I can make probabley make Wednesday or Thursday as long as its late. Im out at meetings as I said and probabley wont be back before 11ish. if it can wait till friday I can just about anytime of the day or night.

The other alternative is you guys do it late, 12-1am for you and 6-7 in the morning here (with lots of black coffee)...

Rock wrote:Kuzan and Lia have contacted Menetnashte and put the idea of her helping to track down Cavendish, getting us to where he goes and counteracting his works so he can't kill us before we kill him and complete Mennie's ritual.

There was no conclusive reply. She may help, but then again, she may not.

To make an addendum to this, Menetnashte seemed pretty agitated and ticked off at us and she seemed more to stalk away than simply just go off and do her thing. She shot a warning bolt at Lia during one point of the conversation.

We'll see what she decides in the end.

That might be an idea. Rock, Whistler, how are you for Wednesday night / Thursday morning?

A fresh cutscene is up, detailing my little chat with the BloodThorn. If anyone is interested in this at all, I can call him back again.

Café de Nuit

Welcome, friends, to our establishment.
