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?

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.

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...?
