As I said in the previous post, it’s time to buy some new gear for our heroes. We have $38045 in our communal treasure for this purpose. I don’t want to spend it all, but some upgrades are still needed.

Arcturus got a cool suit of armor, Urist got the same plus a better weapon, and Jade got out of that with a couple of fairly powerful utility items. So we’ll focus on Jania and Rosalia here for the most part.

I’m also going to abstract things here. Weapons and armor are bought through this tengu weapons dealer Laria introduces, a guy named Chuko. He owns an above-board weapon shop but is also very interested in selling to resistance movements. Arcane and thiefy gear comes from Lady Docur’s school. The PCs pay list price for everything.

Chuko is an important NPC in the later part of the campaign, but I think I actually missed his introduction in my original read-through.

Some of this stuff will certainly consist of special orders, but we can say there’s, uh, three weeks between this adventure and the start of the next one. Nox was supposed to be one of Barzilai’s top lieutenants so I’m sure he’s going to spend some time reorganizing.

Rosalia’s New Equipment

I gave her Heroic Archer with XP, so now we need a proper bow. And since she’s a bard it’s gotta be a Bow-Harp.

Let’s splurge a bit and make it a Balanced Elven Short Bow-Harp for a total of +25 CF. That’s $1300, 1.5kg. She’s gonna name it Allegretto and use it as her Power Item.

We’ll also spend the money for a Cornucopia Quiver that produces Fine arrows. $6010, 0.25kg.

Here’s a formatted list of her new stuff:

Allegretto: Balanced Elven Short Bow-Harp. thr imp, Acc 2, Range x10/x15. ST 10 but user fires as ST 12. 9 FP as a power item. |$1300, 1.5kg|.
Fine Cornucopia Quiver: Produces Fine arrows. $6010, 0.5kg .

Jania’s new Equipment

We’ll replace Jania’s cane with a real smallsword. It’s going to be Fine and Balanced for +7 CF, which means it’s going to be $3200, 0.75kg. This also makes it an excellent power item. Since Jania has Weapon Channeling, we can pay an extra $30 to add the Staff enchantment to this sword. We then also add a Penetrating Weapon enchantment to this one, for $5000.

The Needle: Fine, Balanced smallsword enchanted with Puissance 1. 14 FP as a Power Item. |$8200, 0.75kg|.

Urist’s new Equipment

Yes, Urist got plenty of new fighty gear, but let’s also get a High Holy Symbol for him to act as a Power Item.

High Holy Symbol: +2 to Exorcism, Turning, and other appropriate rolls. 8 FP as a Power Item. |$1000, 0.5kg|.

Total Expenditure

With this, we spent $16510 on new gear for our PCs, which I think it’s enough. That’s 41 gold coins, 5 silvers, and 10 coppers. It leaves us with $21535 left, or 53 gold, 16 silver, 15 copper. Our previous number of coins didn’t make this a clean subtraction, but we can assume the merchants gave some change back.

And that’s it for our organizational bits between adventures 1 and 2.
