looks fine to me

Same here.

Since we're in Faulbane now and it's more or less the calm before the storm, this may very well be our last chance to sell what we can of our treasure to fund our upcoming adventures. So I figure we should establish what all we're going to sell and what we'll be keeping. Here are my suggestions:


Ancient tome ("A History of the World") (sell to private collector)
Bone key (sell to private collector)
Book of the Dead (sell to private collector)
Dagger, bejeweled (sell to private collector)
Ethereal Key (sell to private collector)
1 Eye of the Beholder wrapped in paper (keep)
Hand pickaxe with a hammer on one side (keep)
Hand shovel, small (keep)
High Cleric's robe (sell to private collector)
Map of tunnels leading to temple's inner sanctum (sell to private collector)
Miniature bronze sword (sell to private collector)
Miniature copper sword (sell to private collector)
Miniature gold sword (sell to private collector)
Miniature pewter sword (sell to private collector)
Miniature platinum sword (sell to private collector)
Miniature silver sword (sell to private collector)
6 ornate candelabras (sell to private collector)
Parchment with diagram of inner sanctum's main altar (sell to private collector)
8 platinum coins from a strange land we don't recognize (sell to private collector)
10 platinum coins of some foreign place we've never seen before (sell to private collector)
9 pitons/spikes (10 inches each) (keep)
2 purple gems (type unknown) (sell to private collector)
Scepter, ornate (discuss IC)
Scepter, silver (discuss IC)
Scroll with Ancient Allevian writing (sell to private collector)
Scroll with personal note in Dwarvish (sell to private collector)
Set of grappling hooks (keep)
Set of rappelling tools (including carabiners) (keep)
Stone box, large (empty) (sell to private collector)
Stone key (sell to private collector)
Temporal Key (sell to private collector)
The Eye of the World (keep)
Vellum scroll with formal writings in Dwarvish (sell to private collector)


As these items were acquired from the Temple of Ashmere, the decision of what to do with them would be between Borimer, Adaran, Kahan, Grizz, and to a lesser extent, Grung (I say "lesser extent" because many of these items were acquired before Grung joined us), though I recognize that Grung isn't with us at the moment. What do you guys think?

Keep in mind that the wagon and anything in it was lost during the battle, and actually was searched and pillaged by Krugoth, if you must know.  :)

All of this was wisely stored in the Portable Hole. ;)

Well, at least that hasn't been stolen from you yet.  :)

Keeping it disguised as a rolled up hankerchief has its benefits. ;)

We put stuff in the portable hole from the wagon? I don't remember. If it happened and I wasn't there, then fair enough.

No, we didn't put anything from the cart into the Portable Hole - we just kept what was already in the Portable Hole (i.e. all our treasure from the temple) in there.

Oooh. I misread your statement. I see what you meant now. Carry on. :P

This is all that was left in the cart (all belonging to Borimer):

Rope, hemp, 50-foot coil
4 arrows, sheaf
Knight's sword
Jalzanda oil (2 jars)
Luminous paste (2 jars)

Borimer, Kahan and Grizz, still waiting to hear your word on selling our treasure. Kahan had mentioned he wanted to keep/buy one of the miniature swords as a keepsake of our adventure in the temple and Grizz had expressed a personal interest in the bejeweled ceremonial dagger at one point. I know the two scepters will need to be discussed IC for various reasons. Is there anything else in our treasure which anyone wants to keep for themselves (i.e. pay the rest of us our fair shares of the item's value in exchange for sole ownership), or is everyone okay with selling everything else and dividing the profits evenly?

im fine with selling stuff

Actually, if it isn't too much, Kahan might just pay 'market' value for whatever the whole set of swords would get us and keep them himself, so you three could split the value you would normally get ('you three' being, of course, Adaran, Borimer, and Grizz). If it turns out that they are worth more than, say, 50gp or so, then he'll just keep one of them (likely either the copper or, preferably, the silver one).

Okay, so only the miniature swords are of interest to you? Everything else (barring those items which I indicated) should be sold?

Yes. That's fine, unless anyone wants anything else.

Okay, so as of now, this is what we're planning to do with our treasure:

Ancient tome ("A History of the World") (sell to private collector)
Bone key (sell to private collector)
Book of the Dead (sell to private collector)
Dagger, bejeweled (sell to private collector)
Ethereal Key (sell to private collector)
1 Eye of the Beholder wrapped in paper (keep)
Hand pickaxe with a hammer on one side (keep)
Hand shovel, small (keep)
High Cleric's robe (sell to private collector)
Map of tunnels leading to temple's inner sanctum (sell to private collector)
Miniature bronze sword (sell to Kahan or private collector)
Miniature copper sword (sell to Kahan or private collector)
Miniature gold sword (sell to Kahan or private collector)
Miniature pewter sword (sell to Kahan or private collector)
Miniature platinum sword (sell to Kahan or private collector)
Miniature silver sword (sell to Kahan or private collector)
6 ornate candelabras (sell to private collector)
Parchment with diagram of inner sanctum's main altar (sell to private collector)
8 platinum coins from a strange land we don't recognize (sell to private collector)
10 platinum coins of some foreign place we've never seen before (sell to private collector)
9 pitons/spikes (10 inches each) (keep)

Set of grappling hooks (keep)
Set of rappelling tools (including carabiners) (keep)
Stone box, large (empty) (sell to private collector)
Stone key (sell to private collector)
Temporal Key (sell to private collector)
The Eye of the World (keep)
Vellum scroll with formal writings in Dwarvish (sell to private collector)

So far I've heard from Borimer and Kahan. I haven't yet heard from Grizz. Grizz, is there anything you want from our treasure? Are you still interested in that bejeweled ceremonial dagger?

Keep in mind that Syrissa is a private collector who is very, very wealthy. She would buy artistic items, artifact-like items, or items of knowledge.  She will surely pay more than the thieves' guild, but there is no guarantee she will want something or not.  (I will determine randomly if/when the time comes.)

For example, there is a 50% chance she would buy the Book of the Dead at a very high price, and an additional 45% chance that she would buy it a good price, with only a 5% chance that she would not want it.

Well I suppose Adaran can find out how much Silverpalm or other associates of his would be willing to offer for each item and then find out Syrissa's offer to get the best deal.

Grizz?

Grizz is not materialistic.  He follows what the others do.

Okay, settled then. Heath, are there any items in that list which Adaran thinks Syrissa would be unlikely to want, but which Silverpalm may have an interest in?

Since Silverpalm's favor (the token that got us into the Faulbane Library archives, where we obtained the clues to the Temple of Ashmere's location) hasn't yet been repaid, and it would likely be unwise to get on the Thieves Guild's bad side, Adaran is going to suggest IC that the party gives Silverpalm something of at least equal value to the scepter's worth in silver from the temple's treasure to compensate him. Some possibilities are:

Ancient tome ("A History of the World")
Book of the Dead
Dagger, bejeweled
Ethereal Key
1 Eye of the Beholder wrapped in paper
High Cleric's robe
Miniature bronze sword
Miniature copper sword
Miniature gold sword
Miniature pewter sword
Miniature platinum sword
Miniature silver sword
6 ornate candelabras
8 platinum coins from a strange land we don't recognize
10 platinum coins of some foreign place we've never seen before
2 purple gems (type unknown)
Temporal Key


My hunch is that Silverpalm would rather have a treasure of high monetary value (like the bejeweled ceremonial dagger, the Ethereal Key, or the Temporal Key), but he might just as easily want a relic of unique value like the ancient tome, "A History of the World", the Book of the Dead, or the High Cleric's robe. In any case, I thought it would be a good idea to see if Kahan or Grizz have any particular desires to keep any of these items for themselves (I know Kahan mentioned an interest in keeping some or all of the 6 miniature swords as keepsakes, for instance) before suggesting that we offer one or more of them to Silverpalm. So, any particular desire or fondness for any of these treasures?

I'm providing this for reference in case we need to consider which treasures we want to offer to Syrissa in exchange for information. These are the relics/artifacts/curios of potential value or interest currently stored in the Portable Hole (carried by Adaran at the moment):

Ancient tome ("A History of the World")
Bone key
Book of the Dead
Dagger, bejeweled
Ethereal Key
1 Eye of the Beholder wrapped in paper
High Cleric's robe
Map of tunnels leading to temple's inner sanctum
Miniature bronze sword
Miniature copper sword
Miniature gold sword
Miniature pewter sword
Miniature platinum sword
Miniature silver sword
6 ornate candelabras
Parchment with diagram of inner sanctum's main altar
8 platinum coins from a strange land we don't recognize
10 platinum coins of some foreign place we've never seen before
2 purple gems (type unknown)
Scroll with Ancient Allevian writing
Scroll with personal note in Dwarvish
Stone box, large (empty, used to store tomes such as the Book of the Dead or "A History of the World")
Stone key
Temporal Key
Vellum scroll with formal writings in Dwarvish

The Sword of Chianta is in Borimer's possession, while the Scepter Shi'iki, the Eye of the World, and the Eye of Tarsek are in Adaran's possession, and the silver scepter and Rajim's severed hand are in Kahan's possession. Grung holds the magical dragon box which contains Augmantium, as well as the magic necklace(s?).

Flint is looking for diamond "the Eye of the World"   do we still have it?

Yes, as I said, Adaran is carrying it.
