If no one else wants them, Victor would use the cape of the mountebank, or the ring of fire resistance, but I'm quite happy just taking the belt of stone giant strength, even if everyone else claims two or three items!

Didn't i get the boots of speed?  get my speed up from 25 feet?

Seems like you got the wrong halfling, I don't even think I can use the boots of speed.

not halfling anyway - gnome here

Yep. Just got characters confused... bouncing around across 3 windows.

trust me...i know how that feels

If nobody else lays claim to them I will take the brooch of shielding and the morning star…

Edit - now really want the Morningstar as it is Versatile…!

Halfling.


I think Boxes 1 and 4, Decanter, Gem, Haversack, Kit, Biscuits, and Sticks can be all group property.

Ero will insist on the Grimoire and Pen but will allow other the magic users borrow them (even though they're barely literate), so we can consider them group.

The Curtains, Sheets, and Tool we can sell the next time we hit civilization.

The Tankard could be group but with only 3 charges a day, it won't go far.  Better to sell it.


I presume the Dimension Windows on the tapestries are linked to each other, so we can keep one tapestry with us and set up the other in some town. That way we can just hop back and forth as needed.

Ero would prefer the Compendium over the Atlas, but if someone else wants the Compendium, I'm cool with it.

The question then becomes does Ero still want to keep the Grimoire after he's copied all the spells? If so, it's his. If not, then it can be Group Treasure.

Same with the other books.

The Dimension Window tapestries are linked to a view from up the mountain, looking down over the valley. It gives a real-time view of the area. You can't go through a tapestry, though, so they aren't specifically linked to each other.

While the other stuff may be Group Treasure, you still need to decide who will carry it, particularly the Haversack. Not all of it can be put into the Haversack due to the "extra-dimensional space inside another extra-dimensional space" limitation.

Potions should be handed out just so you know who's got them.

Presumably, the two Clerics--Alecks and Lureene--will decide how to distribute the healing items.

Someone is bound to have looked into the crates and barrels in the Storage Room. They have various food and drink in them, which is all still good because of the Preservation Rune magic placed on them. Anyone with Arcana knows that such magic, while never intended for such long term use to begin with, lasts for around 100 years if not disturbed. Eventually, though, the magic wears off.

Biff would be interested in the sheets, will pay if necessary.

I haven’t heard anyone else speak up about the bracers, so I would like to claim them. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

If it is not claimed by anyone else Cinnabar's only interest in items is the 'any tool' the hot plate, and alchemist jug.  The Decanter of Endless Water, Gem of light, and tankard of plenty will add to that but aren't as important.  Those will work nicely with her cooking proficiency.  Any quantity of preserved but unprepared food that can be taken along will also help but obviously she can't carry a lot of that herself.

Same with the other books.

The Grimoire yes.  He'd be interested in Grimaldi's annotations.  He'll want the Compendium to use as a focus.



Those will get rolled into the tent as well.  No reason to waste them.

The cloak of elvenkind, it would be nice, is there another rogue who would like it, if not I would appreciate it.

Guess my next bid will be for the Ring of Reiteration if nobody wants it. As a 4th level character, Nemeia still only has one attack.

But a character with 2 attacks already would be devastating with 3.

But i can see it useful for monk.

Up to yall.

While anyone can benefit from the Cloak, Kassan is the only rogue in the group, though the Druid and the Monks can get the best use of it as well.

Just waiting for a few more people to post.

Still a few things up in the air for them to claim if they want them.

most of what I said I wanted got tossed into the pile so Mana, if there is no contest, will take the alchemy book, the alchemy jug, and traveling alchemist kit.

Seems nobody is speaking for the Rope of Climbing, I figured somebody less athletic would want that. Prizzard could definitely use the Haversack and put in a request, but isn't insistent beyond the rapier. He shows some interest in some of the other curiosities but not enough to make a first claim.

If there’s no objection, Sala would ask for the Atlas as a secondary item

It didn't exactly go that way. People made suggestions.

So Manaen can have the Alchemy book, the Alchemy Jug, and the Alchemy Kit, plus the Everbright Lantern.

Since he already has a magic quill ability, it makes more sense that one of the other spellbook owners should have the Amethyst Pen, which Ero claimed. If Manaen really, really wants it, he can talk to Ero and maybe negotiate a trade...

Four outstanding items left:

Cloak of Elvinkind

Ring of Reiteration: usable by anyone. While of obvious benefit to combatants, it's also great for range fighters and spellcasters. Can be used for a skill check or saving throw, too.

Handy Haversack

Wand of Magic Missiles: it doesn't have to be attuned, so anyone can use it. Just make sure you don't shoot yourself in the foot with it!

So someone with two attacks per attact action would get 1 or two more attacks with the ring?

For spellcasters, would they need to use another spell slot for a reiterates action?

Well crap. So because I have to work today I didn't get a call on any of the books even though I did make a call on one of them last night in character? Yeesh.

Between those, the pen, and the belt there is literally nothing else of use to Theira.

Don't even tempt me :)

lol, Wand of Greater Magic Missiles is always fun.

I've got 2 nice items already so only if nobody else is a taker.

Mana won't fight for the pen. Better used than in a display case on his desk.

I'm not a ranged person. While the wand 'might be useful' it would see marginal use in Theira hands, unlike one of the books.

Theira would get the most use out of the Alcheminal Compendium if she had to choose books. Both the spells in it and it's ability would be of a boon to her.

The pen would be useful for obvious reasons, copying spells.

With Theira it's all about usefulness. If an item is going to be useful to her then she will accept it. If not, it's better off in someone elses hands.

EDIT: BTW, this is an objection I guess to the Alcheminal Compendium. lol

Totally understandable. The Atlas was a choice of mine for the ability rather than the spells. Reaction to avoid up to 3 attacks per day? Sign me up!

<quote StarMaster>

Presumably, the two Clerics--Alecks and Lureene--will decide how to distribute the healing items.

If I take the staff, then I'd recommend that most of the consumable healing items should go with Lureene. She should also get a pick. She has not been involved in the discussion. I think the other consumables should be split between the groups.

That would be useful for her too, considering she is a melee mage as a Bladesinger. But her AC get's pretty insane so that would be better served on another. Now, we happen upon some magic light armor? She'll snag that.

But like I said. Since you did say the book was a secondary for you do you mind if Theira has it? It'd be a primary for her. The belt technically would have been but Victor took that.

Treasures have only been 'tentatively' assigned. If Theira is interested in something, you just have to talk to the other person who wants it.

If that person isn't willing to give up his 'claim', then you can dice for it.


Same for the Belt.


As the rules are written, the Extra Attack ability lets you make two attacks with one Action. Therefore, the Ring of Reiteration lets you repeat the ACTION, which would be both attacks.

And, no, if a spellcaster casts a spell, the reiteration repeats the casting and the same slot, so it doesn't require spending another spell slot.

Want the Ring of Reiteration, Theira?

I'm honestly surprised the ring hadn't been snapped up first. If I was a melee character it would be the first thing I'd be looking at!

Theira, I'd honestly think that would be far better for you than the book.

The disadvantage to the ring is it is only a single use a day item. Useful? Yes. Very useful? Sure, won't deny it. Limited use though? Yes, very.

Being able to smack someone with two Green Flame Cantrip and my +1 Longsword at the same time twice would be amusing, but I'd only be able to do it once for the day. So if we have an encounter like we just had where we have 2, 3, or 4 or so fights I can only use it once.

The book though, I break my armor while out in the field? Toss my sword because of a crit fail? Etc etc etc. I can use it to make new, amongst other things. The possibilities are limitless.

A book of alchemy on an alchemist, that is then given intelligence so it can operate on its own... Far more useful with Mana. I've backed down on taking an item that has RP value so you can have it. I'll ask you to please back down on an item that is directly useful to Mana. He is taking at this point only items of direct use to him ontop of days of spell copy into nearly nothing for everyone.

As a merchant Mana wouldn't back down on an item that allows him to directly modify things he could sell.

You didn't back off of the pen so I could have it, you backed off of it so Ero could have it. If I decide I want the pen I'd have to roll him for it. So relax and calm down some. We're just discussing the usefulness of items for my character and if I feel they would be useful or not and if I should go for them.

Plus like you I backed off on an item that would have been VERY useful for my character. The Belt. Since a lot of her magic relies on her hitting with her sword for the spell to go off, and melee to hit is based on STR bonus, that would have been a huge boon to her. But I stepped back on it because Victor gave an equally good reason.

I'm not seeing how the Alchemical Compendium would help Theira. I think you may be over-thinking the item.


And while the Ring of Reiteration is a 'once per day' use, it's about choosing when to use it.

I feel like you guys should roshambo for it :D

As for the Amethyst Pen, it's possible that your resident Artificer (Sala) could replicate it.

I pointed out why the book would be useful for me, though Manaen's reasons is better IMHO. He coulda been a bit more diplomatic about it though. Course I mighta just took his post wrong because I am a bit tired from having to work today, normally I'm off on Sunday's. lol If I did take it wrong Manaen I'm sorry.

I guess I'll take the Ring. Will take the Haversack too since for who know what reason no one's claimed it.

The rope, I say we make it party treasure, keep it, but Theira can put it in the Haversack to be used as needed, and keep it close at hand and handy. Parting with something THAT useful would be silly.

Nyssia whats the largest armor you can wear?
This message was last edited by the player at 02:11, Mon 21 Feb 2022.

I know what you said about the book, Theira, it just didn't make any sense. It sounded like you thought you could repair broken items. The book doesn't let you do that.


The Haversack wasn't claimed, per se, because several people wanted it but it was thought to be party treasure, much like the Bag of Holding from the ogres.

The Rope is probably going to be more useful for the group going to the Castle.

No, I was more saying I could make new, and I was just using those as an example. Sorry wasn't clear. Blame being tired. lol

Seems nobody wants the broken talisman, Prizzard will research it later and maybe get it fixed. The stirring sticks also caught little interest so far and a pair would be a nice little luxury for him.

I didn't even catch stirring sticks. Are the single use or multi use?

Either way, because of one of Theira's traits she'd likely take the last set.

The broken Talisman was a late addition I included yesterday. I'd forgotten to list it. In the aftermath of the battle, a lot of actions kind of got glossed over. I mean, there's no way someone with Detect Magic running wouldn't have gone back through all the rooms, especially since Mithra was insisting on hauling all the dead Orcs out and having the wizards cast Prestidigitation to clean up the place again. That would have taken a lot of time with others standing around and twiddling their thumbs.

People would have talked while this was going on, introductions made, plans made, backgrounds shared, tales about how you got there swapped, ooo-ed and ah-ed over all the loot, and stuff like that. It's like Ero said about rolling all the preserved food and liquid out of the cave and into the tent. Actually, he could have set the tent up inside and just moved the barrels and crates into it there.


The sticks are simply Prestidigitation spells. Not one-shot items. They can be used over and over and over again. The more you stir the liquid, the colder or hotter it gets... up to a point. Naturally the Chizzle sticks won't freeze the liquid (cause then you couldn't stir it), and the Sizzle sticks won't quite bring the liquid to a boil.

In that case Cinnabar will need one of each of those to go along with the cooking supplies.  It might be worthwhile to have multiple pots too, rather than just the one the any tool can be.

Actually I think the general use healing consumables should mostly be spread among those people who don’t have access to healing magic. From a practical standpoint it’ll be most useful in case of an emergency when a cleric is not available. It makes sense for the healers to keep one handy for emergencies too, but I don’t think we want to concentrate our healing resources too much. The staff on the other han can only be used by a healer so Alecks should have it.

I’ve been looking over the list of items trying to figure out what would work for Lureene. She certainly would love those fancy sheets. :) As for something more practical, I think some sort of general purpose item like the ring of feather falling or fire resistance would work but I don’t want to fight over loot, either.
This message was last edited by the player at 15:31, Mon 21 Feb 2022.

I don't think any of us were truly 'fighting' over the loot, but a few did get excited over things that they could use to their advantage. 'Discussion' may have got a little heated if an item was usable by more than one person.

Essentially, wiser heads prevailed. In any case, it's not like we won't find more loot. Probably not as much as in a long-abandoned monastery where we had to kill a hundred Orcs to get it.

Lureene wants the sheets, they are hers!

While the healing items are Group Treasure, they should still be distributed. In the case of the Biscuits, it doesn't sound like they can be distributed individually outside of the box. Since Alecks has the staff, Lureene should take the Ointment. She might be able to use it more effectively.

Divide up the potions. Who do you think can make best use of the Growth Potion? I was thinking Biff, but if Goyle is still around, it'd work for him, too.

Advantage Potion usable by everyone, but melee combatants or range fighters?

Climbing Potion to someone going to the Castle, along with the rope.

Flying Potion for Ruins... better recon.

Slipperiness Oil? Got me on that one.

Light Gem to the Castle.

Liquid Armor is cool, but useless to those of us who already wear armor. Who doesn't?

And finally, the Wand. Anyone can use it, not just a Wizard. Unless a Wizard can make better use of it... Still, a spellcaster or ranged fighter should have it. It can do a max of 21 points of damage for a few rounds. Primary attack for a Wizard, back-up for a ranged fighter.

Also keep in mind that we have our own distributable resources that recover daily, or at least some of us do.  Long duration spells can be allocated to benefit the group rather than the individual, and my own goodberries can be carried by and used by anyone over the course of their 24 hour duration.  The quantity is somewhat variable but most days tend to have 30+ of them.

Someone can take my liquid armor potion. Wouldn't mind trading it for something. I was kind of wanting the sheets, but if Lureene wants them, we can share.

The Liquid Armor just coats your skin with a silvery covering that acts as AC 16. It doesn't interfere with any abilities.

Is there some reason you wouldn't want to use it?

Assuming it works like barkskin it isn't cumulative with most barbarian's default AC or that of a monk.

My AC with just Dex and Con is 16 for unarmored defense.

If nobody else wants it I could take the MM wand as I have no ranged attack capability at all…

Viridovix are you set on the Tankard? That would fit Theira flaws perfectly! If she can have that I'll let Cinna have Theira's sticks.

Nyssia, would you be the type to do more springing and jumping? If so we might want to trade boots. You'd still get a base 30 move, but 3x the jump distance as well.

EDIT: Also how are we handling the transfer of the spells from the books we found to the players books? That happening before we split up? Or...?
This message was last edited by the player at 20:18, Mon 21 Feb 2022.

I can't find anywhere in the CRB that says Barbarian and Monk bonuses don't stack with Barkskin, but, then again, weak definitions/explanations. Barkskin works WITH armor but doesn't stack with it.

Liquid Armor should stack with those things, though, so if Biff is using a shield, his AC would be 24.


Willem is proficient will all Simple and Martial Weapons, so even though he may not have a ranged one at the moment, he could use them. There are probably around a hundred javelins in a pile in one of the caves. Every Orc carried at least 3, and most of them never got a chance to throw them.


Even Manaen can't copy that many spells overnight! He hasn't gotten back to me on how long he was planning to stay awake and copy spells. Ero will wind up with the Grimoire so doesn't need to copy any spells right now, unless there's one or two that he wants to be able to cast right away. He can probably manage to copy two spells from there.

Same with Sala and the Atlas. He can copy them later.

Same with Manaen and the Compendium. He can copy them later.

So, if anyone else wants to learn a spell from the books, specify which ones that'll be done overnight. Probably no more than 2 or 3 can be done during the night, unless you stay up all night and sleep on the trail. Otherwise it will take a few days.

If you Travel with Manaen, he can copy all the spells from his spellbook into your spellbook in just under four hours. He might even be able to do it while riding on one of the Travelling Disks if someone else is controlling it.

It looks like Sala is split from Manaen moving forwards, so it would be a good idea for Sala to try for as much help as he can from the tortle beforehand. Most of the usable spells of my level and even up to level 4 shouldn't take too long. It's the addition of the 5th to 6th level spells that add a few hours.

We do have more than one wizard in the party that could use some of this help too though. But that being said there are only a few spells I'd truly need right off.

I can manage Sala's, Theirastra's, and my own in the time we have. I dont know who else is a nerd caster.

As long as we have a combo of one or more wizards having all the spells from the books across our books in the party heading out with Mithra, we should be good. If Manaen does as he says, that leaves two copies of each spell available to be transcribed from us.

Manaen said he was going to stay up all night, so that's a good 12 hours of him copying spells, even allowing for a few breaks.

That means he's copied all the spells into Sala's book and all the spells into Theirastra's book. All that's required is for each of you to re-attune your spellbook to you, which only requires one hour of being in your possession. Sleep with your head on it, and you're all set.

I think you're the only nerd caster! LOL!

Says the one who now has small turtle cartoons casting the spell of the page they are on.

That doesn't bother her one bit. She's a eladrin elf, closest to the fey an elf can get, basically part fey and lives in the Fey wyld! If anything, she loves it!

I am already carrying 6 javelins, and some other stuff. I am wondering if I should carry more. I have crazy strength, but I guess it's more about space management. I would like to put in a request to Thia that she load up on 18 javelins in the Efficient Quiver, and stash them in town.

Actually can someone give me a rundown of wyvern tor? I got in pretty late. Just a system of caves with carved in rooms? Can we make it a stronghold or is it too remote?

Anyway, I would like it if we got ALL the weapons and stashed them in town.

Was there gold type treasure? Can we buy a bunkhouse?

Wyvern Tor is the tallest of the mountain range that lies around 100 miles southeast of Neverwinter which is up on the coast.

The closest 'town' is the village of Phandalin which is about 75 miles to the west... out towards the coast, so leaving the javelins and other weapons in town is impractical at this time.

Wyvern Tor got its name because several wyverns used to nest on the peak until some adventurers took care of the problem.

The caves and carved-out rooms was a monastery about 100 years ago. It was pretty much unknown to everyone. A massive Orc invasion occurred in the area around 100 years ago. Whether it had anything to do with the demise of the monks is uncertain, but they were apparently all killed about that same time. No one seems to have been here since... until these new Orcs made camp in the front caves. The Orcs hadn't been here long, probably not more than a day or two, so they hadn't explored the caves yet, presumably because they were intent on raiding Phandalin.


There was 537 silver pieces and 38 gold pieces found among the 107 Orcs. It was all gathered up when the bodies were 'looted', gathering all the great axes and javelins that the Orcs had wielded. The great axes are only of fair quality and haven't been particularly well-maintained.

The Orcs didn't really have much of value on them... probably why they were raiding.

I'm flattered but you're not my type.

Wrong kind of roll you dunce. Plus, I doubt you're even your type.

You're probably right.  It's tough having high standards.

Well if you have high standards then I'm definitely your type, you're just not mine. lol!

After all, why would a noble born Eladrin ever toil with a lowly thing like you? :)
This message was last edited by the player at 02:53, Tue 22 Feb 2022.

Guess I picked a bad time for a vacation :)  -- actually it doesn't seem that any of the items would be of huge interest to me anyways, except possibly the boots of speed, 10 minutes of 80' movement could come in handy at some point!

Apologies for that. Without knowing when you were going to post again, I really couldn't hold up the game for you. It just means you'll get first pick out of the next hoard!

I like hearing that there will be another hoard :)

Needless to say, Victor has no objection to carrying as much party loot as 23 str will allow!

Well, there was a Bag of Holding from the ogres that was party treasure that Krivath was carrying and he gave it to Prizzard, plus the Haversack that was found. So, there should be any need to carry much of anything.

No worries -- Timing was pretty bad overall as I had only just joined and managed to fight maybe 2 orcs :)

I like hearing that there will be future hoards too! :)

Back to this thread again :)


Not sure if we will be combining loot with that of the other group or not. Thoughts?

I'm not making any primary claims/requests, just secondary.

All good. Easier to have some kind of idea where we are at and discuss the finer points of things once everyone has indicated a preference.

Ero certainly has no need for the Headband of Charisma, so he'll go with one of the rings.

Only interesting things to me are the rings

PS: This is the group 10 treasure list. Are we combining the total hoard? Personally, I'm happy to do that as we did that before.

We are yet to discover our hoard yet.

The intent was for the two groups to have separate treasure hoards due to circumstances, but that doesn't mean they can't redistribute things later.

Can I make a suggestion that we get this sorted out so we can move on with the plot IC? Group 10's player list includes:

Nemeia - Last checked in 13th Jan, Last post 10th Jan - requested item
Sala - Me - requested item
Cinnabar - Last checked in today, Last post 8th Jan
Prizzard - Last checked in and posted 13th Jan - not overly fussed, items selected are if nobody else wants
Theirastra - Last checked in 16th Dec, Last post 9th Dec (absent/left game?)
Mithra - Last checked in 9th Jan, Last post 31st Dec
Artagel - Last checked in today, Last post 9th Jan
Grey Willem - Last checked in 23 Dec, Last post 21 Dec (absent/left game?)
Stonecrow - Does not want anything
Anshegar - NPC

I agree. Two different groups with different loots. The other group can pick the leftovers that were not picked, and those things could be put in a party vault to be used later or sold. The other group was talking about repairing a castle? Repairing would cost a lot, hiring the specialized labor force and getting materials. That would be an adventure in itself! Then there would be the money for maintenance, staffing, and a small army to defend it.

Sounds like a fun side project if characters are interested in it.

I am for separation of the treasures, if only to prevent a tedious discussion on distribution ;)

So, yeah, I would love to take that Scimitar even though I'm not yet sure how to truly benefit from the bonus action attack. Even so, it's +2, so better than my current main weapon.
I cannot Profit from the other items, or rather I feel like someone else can better benefit from those.

Nemeia, as a paladin you should benefit a lot from both STR boost and from CHA boost, no?

That CHA boost otherwise might best fit some Rogue or Bard, no? Don't think we have one in this groip, so keep it for someone of the other group?

As for the STR boost, both Prizzard and myself are DEX focused. I think (!) Theirastra is, too. To me it makes most sense to give that belt to either Mithra or Willem.
Mithra wields a rapier, however, so maybe she is DEX focused, too?
Willem melees already at +10 (awesome!!!) while Mithra "stuggled" a bit there in melee with attacks at +6.
So, if Mithra is a STR fighter, give her the Belt.

As for those HP Rings..
[Shrug] I'd give them to those with least HP, presumably the wizards.

That being said, I'm no spellslinger at all (new to 5E so didn't want to read too much, lol), so I cannot yet assess what yet what kind of items might serve the mages best.

My 50 pence

Nemeia would be a terror with that belt of strength, but I also know we should spread the damage around. Eggs all in one basket and all that. Due to the fact that the paladin is suppressing the effects of her charisma, nobody would know the CHA boost would be useless. :)

Nemeia wanted the magical belt pouch due losing hers in the magical transportation.

Holidaze. *shrug*


Never been a 'greedy' type character, so I tend to let everyone else select treasure first and Mithra takes whatever is left.

Yeah, she's a Strength Fighter, so the Belt would be beneficial to her. Otherwise, just a ring is fine.

None of the items are useful for me, you guys feel free to double up on stuff you like if it helps I will get something later if it matters.

We probably need to dice off for that bag Nemeia.

In reply to Sala Menes (msg # 89):

21:30, Today: Nemeia Sorrow rolled 13 using 1d100 with rolls of 13.  Dice off for bag.

Unless your roll horribly, looks like its yours. Maybe we can trade for your old belt pouch so Nemeia could at least hold some money. We really need a supply run to a town before our next adventure. :)

Sure thing. I have a dungeoneers pack which has a backpack included for you to store stuff.

11:47, Today: Sala Menes rolled 47 using 1d100 ((47)).
This message was last edited by the player at 03:49, Mon 16 Jan 2023.

Then its a deal. :)

Great stuff. I can easily carry anything you don't have a need for in this pack. If we designate one pack for your gear it will mean I can be on hand to supply you with potions or other necessary things when we partner up again :)

Cool. Almost like having a squire...but Sala not having to shine Nemeia's armor and stuff. :)

All believe me, air half regretted posting that as I typed it ;)

I was thinking about Headband of Charisma. Nemeia already has a +4 to charisma. If the item stacked on top of the attribute bonus, and it added another +4-item bonus to charisma skills, then it would really help out the character's Intimidation and Persuasion skills.

So, if nobody really needs it, she will wear it. Not the head protection she was looking for but could come in handy in non-combat related encounters. :)

Intimidation does have its uses in combat as well.

The Belt of Giant Strength: If nobody is going to show interest, Nemeia will find a use for it. *wicked grin*
This message was last edited by the player at 11:37, Mon 16 Jan 2023.

The headband just sets your charisma to 19, which gives a +4 bonus. In your case I assume no benefit :(

In reply to Sala Menes (msg # 97):

I thought so. My statement still stands for the belt. I have a devious plan for it.

I hope it doesn't involve giving it to your newfound 'squire' to allow him to carry more....

Nope. That would be too predictable. :)

I am very much in favour of giving that Belt of Strength to Mithra because of the reasoning everybody seemed to have expressed already.

*Shrugs shoulders*

Very well. Ruin the fun. :)

I have it on good authority that those rings give 1hp per character level after further investigation.

Sounds like something a sq....mage would need. :)

In reply to Nemeia Sorrow (msg # 104):

It’s 10% more hit points for me and definitely more interesting than it was at just 1hp. I’m less important to have conscious  than a cleric IMO

If I was an evil GM, there would be a ring to rule them all. Group already knows about a mysterious drow who built up and planned the orc army. What if the rings were given to all the orc lieutenants? The rings also had the ability to let the leadership talk to one another to plan strategy and tactics at a distance? What if there was a Greater Ring that could communicate to them all?

Sorry, creative juices flowing till the next update. :)

That sounds suspiciously like a story I read one time. Can't for the life of me think what it is....

Ok...not original but fits. :)

I would be interested in either the bracers or the ring of protection to help with my AC -- no armor

I could use a battle axe.

Sorry not in this group.

Back to this thread again :)


Took the liberty of distributing the rings since everybody doesn't seem to want anything. With Grey Willem and Theirastra not posting for a month, we can switch things up if they come back...

I guess we can sell anything that's unclaimed. The headband might be bloody useful for roleplay purposes if we know we are getting into a situation where we need someone as charismatic as Nemeia as her foil :)

If we are planning for merged distribution the ring of protection is one of very few items on the list I could even use, but if someone else desperately needs it I don't.

In reply to Sala Menes (msg # 112):

Ok, last time, promised.
I think distribution is better than focus. I am sure Nemeia will do havoc with that belt. But she will be single. And her attitude did so far not really suggest group loyalty.
I do really promote giving that Belt of Strength to Mythra instead. That way, we have two powerful melee combattants rather than one overwhelmingly powerful.
That's a bit of a mix of IC and OOC I guess. The IC Part will be Artagel's thoughts only, he is not long enough among the group to say anything aloud, especially since he got a very powerful item himself.

I don't mind. Everyone seems to want to leave it all and not seem too greedy. Mithra sems to be more laid back and will choose whatever is left, whereas Nemeia is more actively wanting it for her nefarious plans.

I hate loot taking weeks, so I'm just trying to gently push it along. I'm sure Nemeia and Mithra will work something out between them.

Weirdly, due to the way 5e works, belts of giant strength (21) may not even provide much of a benefit after level 4 if the player had stats geared to their prime attribute.

I can totally understand why it might not have been jumped upon yet, just like the charisma item!

I am TOTALLY willing to be a Str Monk instead of a Dex Monk, haha.

I also have a 12 Charisma and am trained in....absolutely NO social skills, LOL!

Sorry, I know you're trying to get things actually distributed.

In reply to Stonecrow (msg # 117):

SSHHHH cook! You are ruining my plan. The plan was going to do some....roleplaying...no nonsense glaring and some choice words to give the monk the belt but...I agree. We should spread the damage around and Mithra would be a good choice but....the cook does not have a magical weapon hence lower damage output out of everyone with a weapon. :)

*edit* Ok...the staff might be +1 but....super strong monk! He would be our door kicker. :)*

I agree. More damage output from different sources. It would be a horrible day if Nemeia was charmed to attack the group. *evil grin*

And so far, The Paladin of Vengeance seems more like a lonewolf and that was by design. She had been trained and told she was to die alone fighting evil most of her life. Maybe time and roleplaying will change that? She was dumped onto the group, so trust has to be earned on both sides as both of their paths coincide so far, and plans has been made to keep the reason going.

*stares daggers at Death Seeker*

Ok. My final word on the Loot distribution.

Mithra can go ahead and take the belt. I just wanted to do some fun roleplaying to give the monk the belt. No telling what kind of fun chaos a monk with a 21 strength would do. :)

The great thing about this thread is that you can roleplay exactly that :)

It's better to roleplaying with meaning and not fanfiction. The decision is in Mithra's court.

Just because you know I love a good treasure table...


Characters available to choose:

Sala, Cinnabar, Mithra, Prizzard, Nemeia, Stonecrow, Willem, Alecks, Artagel

Selgar, Axia and Xar'ach (not sure how this works for you guys but just recognising you're here at least!)

On a personal level, I've come out of things pretty good as of late. Although thematically the ring is wonderful, I don't want to be *that guy* who is just out for himself. I'll happily take if nobody else wants it.

I feel seen. Selgar and I wouldn't dream of taking anything before properly contributing but it's nice to be on a list!

It would be nice if Nemeia actually was able to get a ranged weapon item that the Curse would not effect but oh well. The group is so large now, if anyone is to get anything, it would have to be tailor made by class most of the time. Thats one disadvantage for having such a large group.

Now, I am about to type up a difficult post that will drain me mentally and emotionally. Going to be a wild ride. :)

No takes on any of these latest treasures from me, thanks.

I'm going to take the ring of magic missile in the absence of any further claims.

I'll grab the robe if no one else wants it.
