On the look out for brave adventurers...

[Amechra]

Yes Phaedrus.

And welcome Radmelon! Love your work with Starcraft.

Sure, by all means play a Cat Burglar.

And Ssejvaex is looking good.

And I'll allow that Praef. Flaws are allowed (should have said that earlier), and you might like to be able to survive being torn apart.

Oh, and by the way, the first dungeon is basically the Guild of the Drunk Cartographers' way of testing you. It has training wheels, in a way.

The ones after that... well, let's just say GotDC field operatives have the same survival rate as the Trygalle Trade Guild.

Buck the trend, guys!

Found the Cat Burglar v1.0's PDF

That wouldn't happen to be similar to the city special forces (aka suicide squad) survival rate, would it?

Well... he said they give us a trinket that brings us back (alive) to the guild if we're killed, so... we should be ok... as long as our souls aren't trapped or something... Right?

Edit: I guess he didn't mention anything about it bringing us back alive... just bringing us back in the event of our deaths... So... maybe we should still pitch in for one or more copies of those scrolls I mentioned earlier (Revenance+Revivify, also known as the cheap mans True Rez).

Why, yes, it would be.

Mind if I take the daredevil flaw? http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Daredevil_(3.5e_Flaw)


edit: regeneration, willing to leap into danger at any moment...sounds like i'm making Deadpool...

So if lucky they complete 2 missions before dieing? Of course, if the GotDC uses spelltraps of Revivify, death is temporary. Unlike in the city, where the highest level character is a level 4 fighter.

You do realize that the cost of any resurrection spell is docked from your pay, right? And that they typically have a waiting line for resurrection, meaning Revivify is a no go unless your of a high enough affiliation level.

There's more than one reason they're called the Drunk Cartographers.

Note to self: stat up GotDC.

[PhaedrusXY]

OK... so who's all for chipping in on those scrolls then?  I think Revivify is 2130 gp, and Revenance is whatever the standard 4th level scrolls cost (7*4*25 gp).

That's still far better than when the highest level caster known in the setting is 4 levels away from being able to cast the most basic resurrection spells.

Also, would It be possible to have a 4 dimensional map made of shapesand stored in a bag of holding? Because it would be pretty cool.

[Amechra]

Of course. Map it any way you want. There will be at least one person in the guild drunk enough to interpret it.

(Probably not literally, but you never know...)

[PhaedrusXY]

That's a fucking awesome idea. I don't think it would work if you stick it in a BoH, because it unshapes if it is more than 100 feet away from you, and the BoH is another plane of existence. But the shapesand idea is totally kick ass. We're going to have to use that.

I guess I should take some ranks in Cartography or something, shouldn't I? That'd be Craft, right? (Good thing that's Int based... )

[Amechra]

Knowledge (Geography) and Profession (Cartographer).

The alternative is buying things that make you die less often, which I'd have to suggest.

Of course, when set up right, You can get back up after your enemy cuts your chest wide open, causing you to lose several internal organs. And after getting back up, some of your organs are still on the floor. If that doesn't give a bonus to intimidate, what will?
Ah, contingent Revenance, best way to not die in combat since it was published.

[Mixster]

Yeah, let's chip in for those scrolls.

So each of us will pay 175+532.5=707.5gp

On the next level I will grab Reincarnation. But that spell is very inferior to revenance.

I will make my own vector map, that will consist of nothing but numbers, and be totally unreadable. But it should be fun to just write those numbers down.

Here is my character so far, I need to choose animal companion, (MM2 is core right?) So I think I'll grab that fleshraker.

Was venomfire fine? I also need to memorize spells.

Hypercubes can simply be written in one dimension more than what the rest of the dungeon is. Hypercubes are quite simple to understand if you know the leap from 2d to 3d, it's the same leap, just possible to do from 4d to 5d. So Writing a 4 dimensional hypercube, would be as simple as writing a 4 dimensional hyperplane, and adding an extra dimension.

EDIT: I think that the next feat for my animal companion should be Battle Jump from Faerun's Unapproachable East Page 42, is that ok?
EDIT2: How about Lost Empires of Faerun, Greenbound summoning especially, is that allowed?

[PhaedrusXY]

Knowledge (Geography) and Profession (Cartographer).

Bah, profession? That's a Wis skill. Craft seems more appropriate, doesn't it?

While a Craft skill represents ability in creating or making an item, a Profession skill represents an aptitude in a vocation requiring a broader range of less specific knowledge.

I'm making maps. Profession is for things like Sailor, where you need to do all kinds of mostly unrelated things, like swab the deck, walk the plank, etc. I just need to make maps, right? And you can also use Craft to earn money on a weekly basis, just like with a Profession. Craft is for making stuff, and Profession is for doing stuff. So can I go with Craft, please?  

I'd like to be a good Cartographer, not a crappy one. But I guess given the name of the guild... crappy might be more par for the course.



So... so far I see a sneaky kobold wizard (me), a lizard scout (Shadowviper), a musical paladin (Flay), a cat burgler (Radmelon), a druid+fleshraker (Mixter), and a 4-armed troll effigy (basically)(Praef). Did I miss anyone? This sure should be an interesting group. 

[Flay Crimsonwind]

Musical paladin.... yeah kinda. Also, I'm only in if it's decided there's room/need for another PC.

So far, I'm playing my namesake, who looks summin like this, though it obviously needs to be slapped into mythweavers and filled out.
[spoiler]Human/Lesser Aasimar (undecided.... any nice fire races w/Cha?) Bard 4 / Paladin 2
(1) Spellfire Wielder
(f) Nymph's Kiss
(f) Skill Focus (Perform)
(3) Snowflake Wardance
(6) Devoted Performer[/spoiler]
My next feat is Doomspeak, just FYI. I likes mah buffin and your debuffs!

[PhaedrusXY]

Nymph's Kiss is Exalted, right? Does that mean I shouldn't be Lawful Evil, like a typical little kobold bastard?
