OOC: Starting a thread for this as well.  Are you guys really going to use a d6 to determine the initial pickor something higher like a d20 - the higher die will reduce the number of ties and rerolls.


Also, so I am clear, the agreed upon process will be ..
Have a die roll-off to determine the initial order.
Once established, you pick treasure in that order and reversing the order in subsequent rounds, so that odd rounds the first person in the order picks first and even rounds the last person picks first, like the following pick order  12345 54321 12345 54321 12...

This will begin with the next treasure pick

After each treasure pick is completed the order for the next treasure pick will rotate right to left so (I will use letters to make it less confusing) if the treasure pick completed was
S M T W E then the next pick order will be M T W E S , then T W E S M ...

One suggestion, any new player coming in goes to the back of the order .. I did not see anything about that in the discussion.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 1):

I think they meant something like:

54321
43215
32154
21543
15432
54321

and so on...

In reply to Morteft (msg # 2):

Sorry I meant rounds within the same treasure pick.

Then switch the order, as you have shown, after each treasure pick is completed.

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 3):

I updated my first message to include better info.

--DM2

OOC - I think because they probably only had 6 sided dice back then! LOL!

I'm fine with using a d20 for determining the next round order.

Trysk is fine with the new party member starting at the end of the line.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 5):

We'll use a d20 to avoid having so many ties.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 5):

OOC:  First,  Please explain what "Trysk is fine with the new party member starting at the end of the line."  Not sure I like the way this sounds.

As previously stated, Shorty will wait until all are done with as many picks as they choose.  Ge will then select from anything that remains or nothing at all.  Shorty will roll his position but will pass his turns to the end i.e. when he returns from Arctiurus

In reply to Shorty (msg # 7):

I think if we get a new party member, we reroll the treasure picking order at that point.  That would seem to me to be the fairest manner.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 8):

Trysk nods and is fine with the team leader's ruling for new team members.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 9):

Ah now I understand.  If someone else joins.  TYVM

In reply to Shorty (msg # 10):

Btw, I saw that Shorty rolled for the next treasure order (d20), so I rolled, too.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 11):

Btw, it also seems to have rolled twice for me now after I refreshed the screen. In any case, my first roll is what should count.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 12):

Before we do that, which direction wins? I would assume high wins, but you all reversed it in the falcon selection. Not that it matters, but we should have it stated explicitly.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 13):

Ok, make a decision, milord. ;^)

In reply to Trysk (msg # 14):

LOL...Ron should decide or roll a d6: 1-3 high wins, 4-6 low wins

In reply to Morteft (msg # 15):

I have always used high wins .. this is not golf ;)

BTW I like golf, I had a 1 handicap at one time.

--DM2

In reply to Trysk (msg # 14):

Only Trysk and Shorty have rolled.  Well.. The DM rolled several times but I think he is cheating.  He gets more than a d20

In reply to Shorty (msg # 17):

Makes you wonder what the DM is rolling for...

In reply to Trysk (msg # 18):

Rolling out stuff for NPCs

I shall make them secret next time .. he he

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 19):

No no...you should remember to label them so that you remember what you were rolling for! ;^)

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 19):

If you make them secret then the players can not cower in abject fear over whether that was an 88 point fireball being dropped in their midst.  LoL

In reply to Shorty (msg # 21):

Especially since he's re-rolling 1s! <shudder>

The books shorty earmarked for celestron  are the non-magical ones. Yes?

In reply to Morteft (msg # 24):

Yes.  Four of them from the upstairs bedroom.  Apparently one is a diary of some kind that Dualis will be interested in.  The philosophy one is from the lab and that is not earmarked for Celestron.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 25):

Also, Dualis picked up the magic items from the extra dimensional pocket after taking care of the archdevil.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 26):

OOC: Yes, you do not have those items on the list or actually know what they are yet.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 26):

Yes he did and Ron has a seaparate list of those items.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 28):

I hope someone is keeping track of this haul!

I don't remember what the picking order is.  I believe we agreed it's however we left off from the last time.  So, it's a matter of finding the postings from our last picking.  In the future, I suggest we create separate threads for each treasure picking to make it easier.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 32):

The current list of the haul is what I just posted.  As for pick order... the onld one is probably near the beginning of this thread.  I can keep it in the rolling treasure list for the future.

It would probably be a good idea if someone took marginal command of this base.  Tracked the maps and made changes as necessary.  And kept track of what group items are stored here as opposed to personal possessions.  I decline the job,  Akready trying to track of stormhold, its residents, and its treasure room.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 33):

OK, this was the picking order from the adventure with the froat giants:
Trysk
Ez'ard
Shorty
Warwick
Morteft

So, the picking order for the lich adventure is:
Ez'ard
Shorty
Warwick
Morteft
Trysk

I assume we're still snaking back once we get to Trysk (last pick of first round).

In reply to Trysk (msg # 34):

My input, the way we did it if someone joins with or is accepted by a sentient item we considered that the person's first pick.

Which would be Trysk in this case, if Sizzle accepts him.  Warwick already had the battle axe, it was just modified so it would not fit that category.

Again, just my input.

--DM2

In reply to Trysk (msg # 34):

My memory of this was that the persob who picked last would pick first this time.  They got back to back picks last time so this time they get one pick and wait till the end of the reverse to gat a second pick.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 36):

OK, this is what I found:

In message 796 of Some R&R, Rest & Resurrection:

BIC - Trysk replies, "I'm good with the person picking first in a round picking last in the next round, but instead of a die roll each mission,  would it be fairer for us to roll just once, re-rolling ties, and then just rotate the order? That is, whoever picks second this mission would pick first the next mission, and so forth. That way everyone will definitely get a chance to pick first."

As far as I can tell, only Ez'ard responded in message 798:

"fine as long as the cast of characters remains the same"

In reply to Trysk (msg # 37):

OK, here is the list.  I believe I got it all.  It is quite large.

Actually...posting some questions

What is the book of construction?

Whwat is the hawk helm?

For the cubic gate, do we know what the other 5 sides are keyed to? It isn't clear, but I have always assumed you could step through and the close (and take the cube with you)...let me know if that is what you do or not since it impacts the usefulness.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 39):

OOC - What are these items:

magic bottle
Crossbow of the Kings
Cloak of Pilfering

I guess nothing from the lich survived?

Do we have an agreement on the selection order?

This message was deleted by the player at 21:15, Sun 29 Jan 2023.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 39):

Book of Construction - magical tome that allows you to build a structure in 30% less time and cost and the structure is 50% stronger.

Hawk Helm - helm shaped like a hawks head, can see 3x further, gives infravision, immune to fear and confusion.

Cubic Gate - other 5 sides not known yet.  Yes the cube goes with you.

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 42):

Thanks Ron!

Yeah, whatever on the picking order. I think you posted this:

Ez'ard
Shorty
Warwick
Morteft
Trysk

In reply to Trysk (msg # 40):


Magic bottle - bottle of duplication - Pour a potion into it and after a week it will have two doses - pour the first back out.  There is a chance a random potion is made instead.

Crossbow of the Kings - combines speed/distance/accuracy, +3

Cloak of Pilfering (Thieves class) - acts as a cloak of blending and displacement, has 10 pockets that can hold 100 pounds each.

Nice cloak!

In reply to Morteft (msg # 45):

Arduin Grimoire

ALSO, I made an update to the list, added a ring I missed - was in the vault, ring +4 ...

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 46):

What's the Arduin grimoire?

BTW, yes, very cool cloak!

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 44):

Flail of 3 elements.  Which elements?

In reply to Warwick (msg # 48):

Ah yes, flail of the elements - fire, cold, electric.  Roll to hit per flail head (3).  The flail is +3 and a hit with any of the heads causes an extra 1-6 damage of that element type.

The Arduin Grimoire is another gaming system - I have the original 3 volume set.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 49):

Not sure it will help or not, but I did put this into a google sheet and invited everyone (but Larry who doesn't have gmail). All can view it here:

https://docs.google.com/spread...J9c/edit?usp=sharing

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 44):

Couple of questions.....  One for the DM and several for the team.

Is the Iron Flask occupied?

Fpr everyone else.

1)  Shorty is very interested in seing the two inteligent evil swords destroyed.  He will use some of his picks to accomplish them if that is the groups deisre or we can all agree to feed them to the walking bug.
2)  The three sets of +1 Ites...  Can they move as a lot vice individually?  Obviously not for personal use.....

In reply to Shorty (msg # 51):

Morteft will agree on destroying the evil swords. He can manage that with an item he has....so those shouldn't count against anyone's pick.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 51):

Trysk agrees destroying the evil swords shouldn't count against Shorty's pick.

Trysk will suggest that Shorty and Morteft can divvy up +1 items for defending their lands afterwards, too.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 53):

That works for me (and Morteft)! :)

In reply to Morteft (msg # 54):
Morteft can take 10 of each.  SHorty will be happy with 9.

I have undated my list with the one Ron posted in my word document.  I will mark the two evil swords as destroyed and the +1 stuff to the two realms.  I will track the picks from there.  Do not forget there are still items left from the dwarven adventure as well.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 55):

I am going to track it on the google sheet too...fyi

In reply to Morteft (msg # 56):

Can you DM me the dwarven stuff that is left? I will add it to another tab.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 57):

Is the white dragon hide still in the dwarven stuff list?

In reply to Trysk (msg # 58):

The only dragon skin I had listed from the Dwarven Campain was from a good dragon.  That was given to Penny.  If there was a white....  Shorty did not notice it.

In an attempt to make things easier I added a column to the spreadsheet and marked items I was interested in. Obviously as a thief I have little interest in armor and weapons. My first pick will be cloak of pilfering.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 58):

The only dragon skin I had listed from the Dwarven Campain was from a good dragon.  That was given to Penny.  If there was a white....  Shorty did not notice it.

Shorty
Warwick
Morteft
Trysk

are next...

In reply to Shorty (msg # 59):

In Against the Giants:

Here is a better description of the throne area.
A huge ivory and bone throne decorated with skulls, silver and gems.  Behind this (hanging from the formation) is a white dragon hide and before it is a polar bear skin.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 64):

I think that means you can take some....

In reply to Morteft (msg # 63):

The only item Shorty really wanted will not fit over his circlet so...  I guess he will go with the Manual of Gainful Exercise

As for the white dragon skin... Shorty would have left that behind.  If uou did not take it then it is still there.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 65):

Ron, can you confirm?

In reply to Shorty (msg # 66):

Book of Exalted Deeds

In reply to Warwick (msg # 68):

Libram of Silver magic

Trysk is up next

In reply to Morteft (msg # 69):

Dang...of course Morteft took that!

Sizzle to end round 1.
Staff of Power to start round 2.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 70):

do we reverse? I thought we rolled back to the start.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 71):

Take a look at the first post by Ron in this thread.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 72):

I don't read it like that.

We keep the same order for every round of this treasure haul, i.e.

Ez'ard
Shorty
Warwick
Morteft
Trysk

Ez'ard should be next.

Then next time we have a haul to split, it would be:

Shorty
Warwick
Morteft
Trysk
Ez'ard

and so on....

In reply to Morteft (msg # 73):

Of course, if everyone else thought it changed each time we go through, then I guess I will go with that.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 74):

Ok, I reread it again and see that is what he said.

Ok...seems overly complicated, but I guess that means the new order is

Trysk
Morteft
Warwick
Shorty
Ez'ard

Whatever....

Morteft will pick...hmm, let me review again.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 74):

I'm just going with what Ron wrote:

Have a die roll-off to determine the initial order.
Once established, you pick treasure in that order and reversing the order in subsequent rounds, so that odd rounds the first person in the order picks first and even rounds the last person picks first, like the following pick order  12345 54321 12345 54321 12...

In reply to Trysk (msg # 76):

Morteft will take the hawk helm (Sorry Gary!)

In reply to Morteft (msg # 77):


Warwick
Shorty
Ez'ard

Ez'ard
Shorty
Warwick
Morteft

Shorty loves his boots of varied tracks.  Can't wear two sets.  He was planning to make reindeer tracks on the ceiling of the library....

There really was nothing Shorty could use in this whole list.  He wanted to bird helm...  but it will not fit over the circlet so...  most everythinng he will pick is for Stormhold.  Couppld mofd pieces and he will just let everyone lese pick first.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 98):

That would be hilarious. Morteft will certainly loan him the cloak whenever he wants to mess with people.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 98):

haha... wear one of each!

In reply to Trysk (msg # 100):

What is the circlet and are you sure other things won't go over it?

In reply to Morteft (msg # 101):

The circlet is the one Alannon gave him that gives him plus 3 to intel and wisdom.  And I asked our generous DM or the helm would have been Shorty's first pick.  Not allowed a helm with the circlet on.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 102):

Damn, nice circlet! Morteft would gladly trade. Anyway, that is too bad, but understandable.

It is Ez'ard's turn.

Ez'ard

Ez'ard
Shorty
Warwick
Morteft
Trysk

In reply to Morteft (msg # 105):

Gary may have called it a night.  Not sure.  But it is my bedtime.  I have to be up very early to put kids on school buses.  If Gary comes back... Shorty's next three picks in order would be

Ring +4
Bracers AC 3
Defemder :pmg Swprd

Beyond that, Shorty will let everyone else do their thing.  He would only be picking armor and weapons for Stormhold.  He can pick however many rounds there are when everyone else is done.  Sadly the figuring is also evil.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 104):

OOC - Shorty has a circlet that Trysk and Morteft would kill for. I guess that's why Shorty doesn't wear the crown that can summon the Fire Elemental.

Also, why is the Scarab of Insanity considered cursed?

In reply to Trysk (msg # 107):

Oh, rereading it...it isn't cursed. It is actually kind of cool and could be super useful.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 108):

Yes, very useful, as long as the rest of the party isn't within range!

In reply to Trysk (msg # 109):

Yeah, good point

Ok, my last call for the night…

In reply to Morteft (msg # 162):

Warwick is donone

Morteft will take the bracers of AC 4
and he is done...although he would like a share of whatever Shorty doesn't take with his turns from the magical arms and armor for Calator

The following is left if Trysk wants it:

Arrow of Slaying – elementals
Bastard Sword +3 (LN) Int: 16
Potions:
Treasure Finding

In reply to Morteft (msg # 160):

Jump at what??? LoL.Everythng that might have been a toy is gone.  Can't even try to make more poitions.  They all went too.  No biggie.  Shorty gives mose of it away except for toys.
This message was last edited by the player at 21:37, Mon 30 Jan 2023.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 164):

LOL...true, we did pick it clean although there are plenty of arms and armor. :)

In reply to Morteft (msg # 165):

If and when you finish... Shorty will take things for stormhold.  But Morteft is still a jerk.  LoL

In reply to Shorty (msg # 166):

hahaha, I am glad the nuances of how I play him are coming across appropriately!!

In reply to Morteft (msg # 167):

The only one Shorty holds against you is the ability to walk on the ceiling.  Afteral, Moreft can fly and Shorty cannot.

Last call.  Open season before Shorty packs things into the chest to take home with him.  The group can have the ones back under the hill.  Shorty intends to take the one here with him as is bigh enough to haul is stuff back to Stormhold.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 168):

Morteft would be willing to give up the cloak for the arms and armor that are left unpicked....

In reply to Morteft (msg # 163):

Trysk takes the mace +4 or +3, whichever is a footman's mace.

Trysk takes the Potion of Treasure Finding

Trysk is fine with either creating a Community Chest or Shorty/Morteft using the remainder items as long as they they are fine with Trysk taking items later for his guild.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 169):

There are two of the weapns that Shorty has people to arm...  But the deal would require mnore than Shorty's agreement.  He has 8 picks coming by my count and is not entitled to everything left.  If the group agrees, Shorty's list of items he wants is as follows.  Then Morteft can have the rest of the armor and weapons.

Wands:  Lightning
Potions: Treasure Finding
Mace +4
war hammer +3
Ring +3

Shorty had also intended to ask Skye if she could use a large Axe.  The minotaur axe os jer size O think.

Trysk already selected the Wand of Lightning, the Potion of Treasure Finding and potentially the mace +4 (if footman's mace - Ron?).

Are you asking Trysk to relinquish those items to Shorty?

In reply to Trysk (msg # 172):

Larry, our apologies, but we thought you bowed out of picking.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 173):

I didn't think he bowed out. He didn't want anything else, but wanted to keep the number of picks so he could pick items that remained. Makes sense to me. We didn't leave much for him to pick, though.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 174):

Okay, I meant that he'd given up his right to pick anything during our picks.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 173):

Relax everyone.  Shorty tried to do what he did the last time.  Once there is little that he wants personally, he lets everyone else get things that they need.  Then he picks for Arcturus and specifically Stormhold.  The Spider cloak was my oops for not reading it earlier.  That one fell into the toy catefory.  The rest is just eqiping folk at Stormhold.  The Pots...  Shorty thought he could duplicate them.  But that is okay too.  He can make some with the beaker and he has the treasure find and an xHeal of his own.  Its mostly about playing with toys.  This will happen again.  Shorty will not push for something unless it is a fun toy.  Hawk Helm would have been but did not fit over circlet.  After that...  no big deal.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 173):

Fine Nolan.  I must have missed that post as I tried to take everything out of the mix that was So  they are gpne.  So even less to be concerned with.  The hammer and ring +3 would be all Shorty would want and Morteft can have the rest.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 177):

If that is all Shorty is going to take, Morteft will give the cloak over to him to have fun with...seems less than fair by a lot, but the least he could do.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 177):

Trysk is fine giving some stuff up to Shorty.

He'll take the mace +3 if Shorty wants the mace +4.

Shorty can also have the Potion of Treasure Finding and Wand of Lightning, too.

Just let me know what Shorty takes.
This message was last edited by the player at 00:40, Tue 31 Jan 2023.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 179):

I have updated the sheet accordingly, i.e. Shorty getting the cloak, +4 mace and potion of treasure finding

Trysk getting the +3 mace

The rest going to Calator (if anyone wants ANY of it, just let me know and I can change it)

In reply to Morteft (msg # 180):

OOC - Matt, I'm assuming you're only taking about magical items going to Calator, right?

In reply to Trysk (msg # 181):

Yes, unless someone wants any of it, of course.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 182):

All these picks are tracked in the spreadsheet?  Sorry I have not looked yet.  Crazy day.

--DM2

In reply to Morteft (msg # 180):

Trysk.  Please keep the wand.  It would just sit in a drawer at Stormhold.  The mace and Hammer are good and the potion and ring.  Rest to Morteft.  With the cloak in trade...  Shorty is more than happy.  Now where can I leave tracks that should be impossible.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 184):

Yeah, the boots and the cloak make for a great way to prank and amaze!

Yes, Ron, it is all tracked in the spreadsheet.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 185):

Morteft failed to claim the morning star +4.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 186):

fixed

In reply to Morteft (msg # 187):

Looks like there's still a Ring +3 unclaimed.

If no one wants that, Trysk will take it.

Just to clean things up:
- Should we just put the potions from the Giants/Dwarves adventure in the Community Chest?
- Should we give Shorty the human +3 plate mail for Arcturus? I think Morteft took some pretty nice armor for Calator already.

Does anyone know if Ron has stated the gold equivalent (gold+gems+other precious metals) split is yet?

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 189):

Have not seen anything about the gold.  Shorty took one plus 3 ring.  If there were two then feel free.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 190):

I think that is ring mail +3

In reply to Morteft (msg # 191):

You sure? It's line 106...right before Ring of the Ram and Ring of Jumping.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 192):

Also, if Morteft is willing, Trysk would like the elven chain +2 (assuming it's elven chain and not chain mail that sized for elves).

He needs a back up to his bracers.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 193):

Yeah, that is fine, of course.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 194):

I have not done gold or XPs yet, coming.

Need to finish what Dualis is doing .. he has one more announcement.

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 195):

Using this thread to post something totally outside the games.  The subject is personal treasures vice game treasure.

I find that I have 40 plus years of painted game figures sitting in my basement that I can no longer see well enough to even recognize that they are.  The local game stores won't help me resell them.  Can't see them well enough to do any kind of ebay sales.  Too much work to see hundereds of DnD and Warhapper pieces.  Tried giveing some of it away to grandkids....  But even the Mage Knight castle did not go over the way I had hoped.  Any ideas?  Not really looking to make a lot of money off it.  Just hate to take years of work and throw it in the trash.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 196):

I am not sure, but I could ask during the zoom call Sunday if anyone has suggestions or wants to make an offer.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 197):

Josh isn't that far from you.  Maybe an hour or so.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 197):

Thanks Matt.  I am not really looking to make any money on them.  Mostly cover cost of shipping.  Not that shipping is cheap anymore.  I have a large dwarf and lizardman army for warhammer as well as tons of different pieces for DnD.  Just want to find a home for them.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 199):

I am always interested in new pieces.  By 1's and twosies at Ren Faires.  Most of my collection is the Grenadier stuff so I try to stick with those sizes.  Some of the newer stuff is a bit bigger for the same type figure.  So if they are like the old Grenadier (25mm) then I am interested.

--Ron

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 200):

They are all the old scale which I believe was 25mm. That said, I have a number of things like giants and other creatures that are larger.  To scale but bigger.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 201):

Yes, the 25mm for man size scale, yes that is fine.  I have ettins, umber hulks, efreets etc that are bigger but to scale; so that should work.  My son has access to a 3-d printer so he has made a few things for me - more of the stuff they usually they tended not to make like devils and demons, some of the giant classes.

I am not really interested in any over the oversized pieces - such as a dwarf as big of bigger than a human figurine.

So how do you want to work this?

--Ron

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 202):

I will have to look at the warhammer army to see if some of the dwarves there are large.  Several of the heroes might be.  As fpr tje rest.  As for the rest, email me a mailing address.  I will send a couple of sets out. Again, just looking to get the postage cost back.  If you like them, I can send more.  They are the old fashioned metal pieces except for the warhammer stuff.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 203):

Yeah, the 3-d print ones are all a plastic like substance, I like the metal ones better.

So I opened a random bin yesterday and sorted out the DnD figures from the warhammer ones.  Two small boxes with a giant and I cannot remember what.  A plastic bin with a variety of monster type figures.  And a shoebox that I believe had all of the figures that I used with the castle that used to be set up in my basement.  Those are mostly tissue wrapped.  Hopefully the glue that held them to their bases is still good as they have been in that bos since 2003.  THe box went in the mail this morning.  It was over 15 for slow boat and only a dollar more for priority.  So you should see the box by the end of the week.  If you like them and want more, I will take the time to sort through the rest of the bins.  The storage room is not as well organized as it used to be.  My wife moves things as the mood suits her so I will have to find all by bins and go through them.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 205):

Same for my wife.  I shall be on the lookout.

Thank you.

--Ron

In reply to Shorty (msg # 205):

Ok they arrived.

Are some of these for the table top army battles, some remind me of that when I would roam hobby shops for DnD stuff?  I forgot what that is called.   Some strange ones in there.  What is the dog headed dragon like thing, it is black?

How would you like to get reimbursed?


You can send others.

--Ron

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 207):

Wow.  They got there already....  The pieces were all sold in blister packs for DnD and other gantasy games.  I took what I thought I could use or that might be fun to paint.   do not remember a dog headed dragon like thing.  Especially not black.  Some of those figures go back to the early 1980s.  I gad one dog like creature that was pretty ugly.  I had a druid I played back then that had a really ugly looking dog that he named Beauty.  Something I weaved into one of my stories.  I am guess that is the one.

How were the figures in the shooebox?  I did not want to take the time to unwrap and inspect them all as I really cannot see the details anymore.  Once we get through Easter weekend, I will go down iwth my wife and see what we can find.

Do you do any army type battles?  I have a number of multi piece orc setups that I used to use for large battle campains.  Might be 3 or four pieces on a single base.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 208):

as for the postage... whatever works for you.  Check, cash, green stamps.  Oh wait.. you might not be old enough to remember those.  Winning lottery tickets are nise to.  I am partial to megabucks.  LoL

In reply to Shorty (msg # 209):

Oh I remember S&H green stamps.  Used to fill he book up for my mother.

Ok, I will send a check.

OOC:  The Cubes exist on both planes.  The one you see is the same one that those on the prime see.  If you move it, theirs moves too and vice versa.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 210):

Tzar sta;ls towards the grinning Coos.  When he gets closer, a flash of billiant light streaks from Tzar's sword towards Coos.  The light passes through the fat man's head and hits the crevice behind Coos.  Tzar hears a chickle from his right and two daggers fly through the air to strike his arm and shoulder.  Neither does damage *Stoneskin).  Neither dagger hits the ground.  Both of the daggers came from the direction of the chuckle.

Tzar's tunic and armor now have wet spots on them that do not look very appealing.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 212):

OOC: You posted to Treasure Pick again ;), I will move it to the main thread.

I updated the spreadsheet.

I see that Coos' daggers and sheaths are listed separately. They are individually magical?

In reply to Morteft (msg # 222):

When separated, each dagger and each sheath is magical.  Read the description in the main thread in response to Trysk's inspection.  They will be sepeerated when they have been evaluated.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 223):

OOC - I have to imagine that eaxh dagger is paired with a sheathe.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 224):

OOC:  What size is the cloak of displacement?

In reply to Warwick (msg # 225):

I don't think they come in sizes. One size fits all. So it should work for him.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 226):

There seem to be a couple of items we don't know about:

Rectangular prism - magic
from shade: Single Sheet of Parchment
pirates: a small crystal eye

Are those magical?

oh, and the daggers and the sheathes need to be identified

The flayer also had these:

a pouch (Not magic) containing Non magic - did it contain anything we care about?
a sheet of folded parchment

In reply to Morteft (msg # 226):

Cloak of Displacement: This item appears to be a normal cloak, but when it is worn by a character its magical properties distort and warp light waves. This displacement of light waves causes the wearer to appear to be from 1’ to 2’ from his or her actual position. Any attack by missile or melee strike which is aimed at the wearer will automatically miss the first time*. Thereafter the cloak affords +2 protection, i.e. 2 classes better on armor class, as well as +2 on saving throw dice versus attack forms directed at the wearer (such as spells,
gaze weapon attacks, spitting and breath attacks, etc. which are aimed at the wearer of the cloak of displacement). Note that 75% of all cloaks of displacement are sized for humans or elves (persons 5’ to 6’ or so tall), and but 25% are sized for persons of about 4’ height (dwarves, gnomes, halflings). * This can apply to first attacks from multiple opponents only if the second and successive attackers were unable to observe the initial displacement miss.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 228):

Oh, good point. Coos had it so I guess it was human/elf sized.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 229):

Yes human sized like the leather armor

In reply to Shorty (msg # 230):

Larry,

There seem to be a couple of items we don't know about:

Rectangular prism - magic
from shade: Single Sheet of Parchment
pirates: a small crystal eye

Are those magical?

The flayer also had these:

a pouch (Not magic) containing Non magic - did it contain anything we care about?
a sheet of folded parchment

In reply to Morteft (msg # 231):

Are we counting the daggers and sheathed as 4 items?

In reply to Trysk (msg # 232):

I was thinking of 2 items since the gems make them return to a particular sheath.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 233):

Gonna bump this again:

Larry,

There seem to be a couple of items we don't know about:

Rectangular prism - magic
from shade: Single Sheet of Parchment
pirates: a small crystal eye

Are those magical?

The flayer also had these:

a pouch (Not magic) containing Non magic - did it contain anything we care about?
a sheet of folded parchment

In reply to Morteft (msg # 234):

I thought the rectangular prism was the key to unlock the manacles.

The small crystal eye is the artifact we shut inside the heavily warded box.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 235):

The prism is the key, it was listed separately because someone stuck it in there pocket and walked off leaving the manicals on the wall.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 236):

What about the parchment that the shade and mind flayer had?

In reply to Trysk (msg # 237):

Warwick selects the ring of protection +4 and puts in a ring of protection +3.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 238):

Morteft takes the cloak of displacement. It is Trysk's turn.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 239):

Trysk selects the small charm shaped like a piece of charcoal.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 240):

Ez'ard is up and then Tzar.

Sheet is here although it follows what is posted too:
https://docs.google.com/spread...J9c/edit#gid=5065862

And then the order reverses, i.e.

Tzar
Ez'ard
Trysk
Morteft
Warwick

So Tzar should pick twice and then back to Ez'ard.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 241):

Ez’ard having returned from visiting Stronghold and Shorty walks into the area where the others have been going over the adventure’s spoils. He waves hello and as he ponders what he would like, he starts regaling everyone of Shorty’s exploits and the saving of lots of people to start rebuilding the world of Arcturus. It seems Shorty spent ALL is stash to include his “marbles” to buy the slave and set them free. Some wanted to return to their homes but a lot decided to stay and help build stronghold town. And he ends with, “And he saved a young blind girl who can see auras. She thinks he has the brightest and whitest aura she has ever seen.” He chuckles, and says jokingly, “good thing see can’t actually see him.”

Along the tale he selects the Dagger+4 and sheath saying it will be nice not having to constantly go fetch a thrown dagger for once. He thanks whoever cleaned the sheath of its poison.

He sits down and examines the dagger, looking at ways the secure the sheath to a leg.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 242):

Trysk asks Ez'ard, "Do you know when Shorty will return?"

Ez’ard replies, “He’s pretty busy being the Green Knight and getting things organized. If there was a task that needed him specifically then I am sure he would come I think our world needs him more right now.
This message was last edited by the player at 00:50, Mon 30 Oct 2023.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 244):

Tzar gets two picks and then Ez'ard can go again.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 231):

Neither sheet of parchment is magical.  No one has tried to read them so they are just there.

To save time....

The parchment from the shade is a contract for the killing of a dark elf currently intruding in the ethereal plain.  The offered reward is that the elf may be fully drained as can his companion, a human.  In addition, Shodow will deliver 20 dark ones to be drained of strength at the Shade's request.

The second is a contract for the death of a dark elf and his lackey human.  Both brains may be devoured and additionally, Shadow will deliver a human mage of level 14 to the flayer to do with as it wishes.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 246):

Trysk asks Warwick, "Still have an augury available?"

In reply to Trysk (msg # 247):

"Aye."

In reply to Warwick (msg # 248):

"Maybe cast one one the parchment from the shade. Then another on the one from the mind flayer, if you have another spell available."

In reply to Trysk (msg # 249):

"I still have 8."  Warwick casts auguries on both.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 250):

OOC - I guess the auguries are a moot point now.

Larry, are the 4 vials labled III, IV, IIIa, IVa magical? Are they poisons?

In reply to Trysk (msg # 249):

Tzar will take the ring of flying and that is all he wants.

--Ron, Tzar

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 252):

Ok, then next up:

Ez'ard
Trysk
Morteft
Warwick

In reply to Morteft (msg # 253):

Ez’ard examines the two wands and then goes over the manacles. He asks Celestron if the manacles dampen magical abilities.

In the end his eye returns to the other unclaimed dagger  and that is his choice.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 254):

Nice choice.

Trysk is up next.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 255):

Trysk selects the anti-teleport cubes.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 256):

Morteft selects the ring of wizardry

Warwick picks twice

In reply to Morteft (msg # 257):


Warwick selects the

Decanter of Endless water and Manacles of Entrapment

In reply to Warwick (msg # 258):

Morteft takes the beggar's cup. Trysk is up again:

Trysk
Ez'ard

Then

Ez'ard
Trysk
Morteft
Warwick

In reply to Morteft (msg # 259):

Trysk selects the wand made of ice.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 260):

Ez'ard gets two picks and then Trysk again

Ez’ard accepts the wand of paralysis and the blue water dragon charm.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 262):

Trysk takes the mermaid.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 263):

Morteft takes the amulet of fire resistance.

Warwick gets two picks next.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 264):

In reply to Warwick (msg # 265):

Morteft takes the bracers.

Next up:

Trysk
Ez'ard
Ez'ard
Trysk

In reply to Morteft (msg # 266):

Trysk takes the wheel.

https://docs.google.com/spread...J9c/edit#gid=5065862

Ez’ard takes the 2 potions of extra healing to replace the ones he used on Trysk.

He announces he is done selecting and states to sell the rest and split the gold proceeds.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 268):

It is Trysk next then Morteft twice and then trysk twice and so on.... :)

In reply to Morteft (msg # 269):

Ring of Protection +3

In reply to Trysk (msg # 270):

Morteft will take the other +3 ring and the scrolls of stoneskin.

Trysk twice next

In reply to Morteft (msg # 271):

Leather +4
4 vials (unless he needs to take them individually)

In reply to Trysk (msg # 272):

Trysk will let Morteft take all the remaining weapons for Calator.

He only cares about copying any spells he's missing from spellbook and potentially using the cards and earring to locate Shadow.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 273):

Yeah, Morteft isn't really interested in the items since most of them are oversized except maybe the spear. As Ez'ard mentioned, maybe we can sell the rest and split. Is this possible Ron?

In reply to Morteft (msg # 274):

Yes, that is possible.  Dualis has mentioned he will buy stuff off of the group or you could go to a town to see what you could get for the items.  Prices vary.
