Bastion will pick up quite a few items, one each of: luckstone, type 3 bag of holding, +3 ring of protection, Strongarm Bracers, +3 cloak of resistance, Greater crystal of electrical assault, Rod of Ropes, dusty rose Ioun stone, pale green Ioun stone, dark blue Ioun Stone, tracker mask, lesser ebon hunter monocle, and an essence of the guard. (Total price, presuming standard market for all of them: 157,650)

Bastion would be asking after means of protecting the three Ioun stones from theft if such are available, as he does not like how vulnerable they are when active. (3.5e has nothing of the sort that I know of, but Pathfinder had items called wayfinders that could carry the stones and gave bonus effects to boot. It also had rules for embedding Ioun stones within the owner's body.)

Upon finding the Strongarm Bracers, Bastion gets an idea, and asks around for a master smith willing to take on a challenge. He asks for a Great Falchion composed of Adamantine with a hilt hollow and a Fuller. The catch? It should be sized for a Large creature. (Fuller weapon mod is incorrectly listed as a blood groove, Great Falchion is an exotic weapon from sandstorm, 1d12 damage as a medium item, 3d6 as a large, 18-20x2 [Critical Hit] range, total weapon price is 3,500, and the strongarm bracers will let Bastion wield it without penalty)

From there, Bastion will commission a scabbard of Keen edges large enough to hold the aforementioned Great Falchion. (Price 18,000) Then ask for a number of enchantments to be placed on the weapon (Basic +2 enhancement, Collision+2, and Valorous+1, total +5 for a cost of 50,000gp) For the unique crossbow he picked up from that odd inventor, Bastion will seek out a gnomish crossbow sight and get it enchanted with a +2 enhancement (Cost 150 and 8000 respectively)

Finally, Bastion will ask for the Animated shield property (+2) to be placed on the +1 shield looted from before, and a generic +3 enhancement placed on his own armor plating. (Cost 8000 and 9000 respectively)

When he gets a chance, Bastion will ask one of his party members for assistance in installing the warforged components purchased. The one that goes into his chest is not hugely problematic to do so by himself, but the two that get embedded in his face are more challenging.

Out of Character: let me know if any of this won't be possible, and the time frame needed to get it done. Might have to leave the weapon project behind to be collected later. According to my calculations, all of this mess will run me 261,700 gp, leaving me with a little over 33k in reserve.

It all can be done but the time element for the weapon to be master work and the scabbard done will take almost two months. The augments to the armor and the shield will take three weeks prep time and a week to finish so a month of time. You wish to stay in the capital city for a month before moving on?

Bastion would be willing to wait a month if his companions are not too eager to move on.

He will however attempt to see if there is work available locally that could occupy the group's efforts for a while, so the time spent waiting is not entirely wasted.

Out of Character: After the physical work on the falchion is completed, which you said would take two months, how much additional time is required for the enchantments requested?

That is everything It will take a good month to make the masterwork item and a month to en-spell it. Plus the second month is for the scabbard being ready and enchanted too.

Dark Druid says...

Avan also goes shopping. He tries to gain rapport with the shopkeepers he talks to, and ask them about troubles or opportunities.

He buys:
Druid's Vestment - 10000
Metamagic Rod, Extend - 11000
Rod of Flame Extinguishing - 15000
Handy Haversack - 2000
Blindfold of True Darkness - 9000

He keeps searching, looking for an elven craftsman or fellow druids at the grove who can supply his armor:
+4 Wild Elven Darkleaf Full Plate (The enhancements cost 49000, the armor 1500 and special material costs 4000) - 54500
If it's not available, he searches for someone who could make it from bone instead. Its cost is unknown - up to you but I presume it makes the armor cheaper). and his last choice is Dragonhide as a material (Armor+material costs 3300).

And looks for:
3 Scrolls of Delay Poison - 450
Scroll of Wood Shape - 150
3 Scrolls of Resist Energy - 450
Scroll of Remove Disease - 375
Scroll of Speak with Plants - 375
Scroll of Wind Wall - 375
Scroll of Freedom of Movement - 700
Scroll of Tree Stride - 700
Scroll or Reincarnate - 1700
2 Feather Token, tree - 800

Avan has mixed feeling about venturing into the desert. He's going to feel vulnerable without nature around him, but it may be a good experience to feel the danger of death lurking anywhere. In the end he relents as it's something to do and will be a good experience.

Considering where we're going Avan also searches for:
Wand of Endure Elements - 750
Decanter of Endless Water - 9000
Scroll of Control Weather - 2275.

Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Play By Post Party Leader

The scrolls are not a issue and available. The decanter of endless water is the only thing not available. As far as the darkleaf armor there is a +2 available but they can make the +4 but it will be a couple months to get it made. Cost will be 15% above book cost.

The Wild Whisper says...

Out of Character: I am not sure how many of the Ioun stones that Bastion bought, but Albrecht will be interested in buying a few if they aren't already taken (Bastion has first pick and Albrecht will take the left-over).

Albrecht finds and buys:
All three of the pearly white Ioun Stones (Again if Bastion doesn't want them). (60,000 GP)
Ring of Protection +3 (18,000 GP)
+3 Wild Leather Armor (35,200 GP)
Ring of Counterspells (4000 GP)
Collar of Healing (5000 GP)
Handy Haversack (2000 GP)
Rod of Extend (11,000 GP)
Scrolls of Detect Magic (X10), Endure Elements (X10), Spider Climb (X5), and Warp Wood (X5) (Total of 1875 GP)
Strand of Prayer Beads (45800 GP, with correction)
Total: 182,875 GP out of 274,921 GP
Also I have looked further and was wondering if the following were available:
+1 Mithral Breastplate Barding of Nimbleness. Nimbleness is in Magic Item Compendium and for +1 armor enhancement gives +1 Max Dexterity and -2 ACP. Obviously I would be using this on Krama. (8400 GP)
Also is a +1 Animated Mithral Heavy Steel shield for Albrecht available? (10,020 GP)
Is there another Druid's vestment available? (10,000 GP)

Out of Character: So I was thinking that the three Ioun Stones would stack to give regeneration 3 per hour instead of 1, as they are typeless, but it occurs to me that you might consider them the same source and not allow them to stack. What are your thoughts KNtoran?

Out of Character: I didn't pick up any of the pearly white Ioun stones. I consider them rather expensive for their effect.
