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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
