OK, who wants to buy the food, so we can move on to Rankor Heights?

Computer just broke down, now I'm only able to post by phone. Makes no fun, but I'll try.

Buying food sounds like a plan.

Ouch, my computer went down last year, and had to get new motherboard. Luckily had ipad as well, which at least kept me up to date on the post coming out.

Been there.  Just received my Surface back from the shop from screen damage.

Daddy needs to remember to swap over his bookmarks later.

Did we decide on how items were being divided?

Did we check into the dress being worn as a sash?
Or the enchantment being transplanted onto something else for the same effect?

The purple dress is too small for Mord to wear.  It must be worn by someone of slight frame.  It cannot be worn as a sash.  Adiel says it's likely that the magic would only work for a female.  He's unsure if there's any way to transfer an enchantment from one item to another.  He thinks back to what Reynard told you about enchantments.



"bound" sounds rather permanent, but it could be possible to unbind the essence.  Sounds like a question for Coal, or perhaps Cordelia or Genessa.  Adiel is intrigued.

Holly will stop that line of thought until after they can safely talk with Coal, Cordelia or Genessa after we restore and safely keep the staff!

Game stalled - What actions can we take to get going again.

It's my fault.  Next stop, the gates of Rankor Heights, which means taxes.  I've got a bunch of calculating to do and I keep putting it off.  I couldn't justify doing my RPOL taxes before my real life taxes, but that over and done with now.  Time to bite the bullet and start crunching numbers.  I'll have a post for you soon.

Taxes... uh... you do have a battle-happy barbarian with the party, nuh? :)

Food?

Priorities, man!
How much good ale?

Plenty!  but not so much that Mord will be off his game.

Tsk - we have to try harder next time :)

Mord, last time you drank as much as you wanted... uhm, I think I don't want to tell the details :-P

Grin.  That's my tale-teller. :)

Phew.

I finally added up all your valuables for tax purposes and went back to re-read a good chunk of chapter 3.

1) does mord have a magic bow?  One that the fellow recognizes?

2) dm, what has been the previous deciding mechanism for loot?
We have a number of items that would help several people.  Most games it is a d20 roll off or some such, but however decided, stuff needs distributing rather than riding the wagon!

Your bow is a masterwork and strung for a 16 STR, which not many people around would be able to use.  It's not enchanted, but it's very nice.  Colbein commented on it during a previous visit too.  You're not sure how he figures that you've got enchantments.  Most of your teammates seem to have some magical ability to see if things are enchanted, but you didn't see Colbein do anything like that.

I leave the splitting up of the loot to the players.

Mord, we tend to negotiate items we want, based on left over funds from any group purchases we need, in this case the Book of Legends. If there is anything you want, especially something martial in nature, I suspect Glumr is the only other interested party.

Grab it now before he comes back!  If that ever happens.

Good, thanks - that's what I had noted down.  I didn't want to be short-changing things if I was holding a magicked bow, and not using it!  Talk about wastefulness!

Absolutely, and good plans - but there are items that apply to all, but have been sitting on the wagon unused, and encounters with dangerous swamp beasties brought it back to mind.

Specifically I mean:
4)  leather coat +2 natural armor (AC 2 in addition to natural armor if worn on its own)
25)  Potion of Levitation * **
26)  Potion of Heroism * **
29)  buckler +1*

As a front-liner, there's no such thing as too much AC.  If no one wants the coat or buckler, Mord will use one or both, as both are most interesting to him.  We're probably best to spread it around folk.

The potions should be carried by someone for use.  Personally, I cry at using potions because the disposable-poof nature, but leaving them on the wagon unused if need arises is unwise.

Really, regardless of how we divvy the items out, they should be divvied somehow.  Even if they act against a share of something if you want to go the gp value route, it's better they be used in the meantime.  Don't take me wrongly - if it's an encumbrance issue, Mord is MORE than willing to carry the AC boosting items and magical potions, but we should spread around the resources so everyone has something to help or use.  And it's nice to have sparkly things.

As previously stated, Holly has a liking to the leather coat +2 Natural Armour, as it fits in her mind to her abilities. Was going to sit with Mord to discuss this, but didn't get started. The other three items can definitely stay with Mord, or anyone else who would want to take them.

Mord, will you allow Holly to take the leather coat?

As nice as the other three items are, I can't picture Sunna flying around. And she's not the one for real heroism, either, she just sings about it :-D The buckler... nice thing, but... it's a tiny shield, at best. How could someone use such a thing and feel safe with it?

Not a mention of allow, but makes sense that we spread around the love, nod.
Mord can use the buckler, as it allows him to keep both hands on his dear longaxe.

If the leather coat won't transfer across to your druidshape forms, you might want to look into something else and pass it to another low armour person - or there were some little claspes/badges you can find (if DM allows) that permit the item to which it is attached to shapechange with you, which is even better if permitted!

The best way to find out if the coat's armor carries over to her wild shape is to try it out.  I don't suggest eagle form for these trials.  Maybe something more durable.
