Victor looks through the armours and weaponry with covetous eyes, eventually lifting the enchanted sword Tiria had so freely discarded.

"I could make good use of improved arms and armour, and I think an armoury for The Gambit is an excellent idea should there be a need for defense."

OOC: Victor is interested in one of the suits of plate armour and a +1 longsword.

A third choice would be the circlet of blasting if no one else wants to call dibs. I'd mainly want it for some flavour so if it gives someone else better utility it should go to them.

In reply to Victor Iusticia (msg # 19):

So I may be missreading the situation, as I sometimes do...

If we're setting aside second choices after firsts have been divided up, Malkus would be interested in a +1 Halberd.
Tusk would be interested in a +1 longsword.

Santio could see that there was a measure of interest in the  'Braces of Archery + quiver of magic arrows'  package.
He resigned himself to seeing them go to others ... but hoped that perhaps he could claim both/either the Bracers of Defence and/or a +1 Long Sword.

The man watches as some of the others look over the gathered assortment of armor, weapons and magical items. His eyes look over them and he hesitates. He eyes the belt a little hard for a long moment and then shakes his head, looking down.

"I did not do as much as most of you, and I have only recently arrived, so perhaps just...a longsword for me? Or...the boots if no one else wants them?"

He isn't timid, but neither is he greedy for something he isn't sure he deserves.

In reply to Donella Turen (msg # 17):

OOC: Just to note, Nuts is interested in a regular suit of half-plate, not one of the magic ones.

Azucondie's second choice would be the eversmoking jar thing.

Elisar looked on as the group divided up the spoils of war. He took his turn to rummage through the gear, finding little of real interest to him. But then he found one thing, a magical gem. "Fascinating. This could allow me to see beyond the realms of normal sight. A great prize indeed!"

Interested in the Gem of Seeing.

Golun took his turn assessing the gathered equipment. Most items held little interest but two did stand out. The sets of full plate armour were of interest, but he wasn't sure if they would fit a figure as full as his. Maybe an armourer in town could make some adjustments for him.

The magic swords were also tempting. Normally he favoured his hammer, but a magic blade would be a wonderful prize.

Interested in +1 Longsword and Suit of Plate Armour

Thanks for the list, Donella!

I have simply included the names of those who have shown interest, regardless of order of preference. We can negotiate specifics if there is not enough to go around.

Looking over the pile, Brohm considered the options.  Finally speaking in his deep voice.  "I could use those boots, and maybe that dagger.". He states.  "If others want either, we can figure out a way to settle who gets what."


I'm putting Brohms' name down for the Vicious Dagger, and the Boots of the Winterlands.

   It looks like a good opportunity for RP.  🙂

"I'm an armorer so the magical half plate would be of great benefit. I could integrate it into my form and develop it further. The belt would provide me additional protection and much needed dark vision. I don't really need the circlet but I wouldn't say no to it if no one opted for it. Before I arrived on the battlefield I wandered through the tunnels that were once the weapons factory I worked at, cursing my lack of proper sight in the dark. I'd advise against exploring the place, there is nothing of value and the walls are caked with gunpowder", Guyver explained.

"What year is it ..?"

"Don't worry about Erret not getting the use out of this trinket." says Carmen, holding the crystal in her hand. "I'll be sharing it's power as required." she adds.

Verbannt had regained his Bugbear from, though blood still soaked his face and chin from where he had dragged Hobgoblins screaming to the ground.

"Those that lay claim to weapons and arms of magic won by blood, should forfeit their share of the treasure that remains."

He said simply.

"There are many things here that I would lay claim to..."

He added, eyes the Northern Boots and the Bracers suited for Archers closely.

"... but I think they will serve best in other's hands. Remember this, when next we find ourselves a victorious war party."

He eyed Tiria, Ten, Brohm, Izayah, and Nutcracker as he spoke.

"Perhaps this might settle the debts that my blood could not, Brohm of Clan Stonehelm?"

Hearing the discussions and thinking what thoughts he could think on it, Nutcracker made a dismissive gesture at the arrows. His bow was already magical enough. The bracers were much more enticing for his chosen method of combat. "Bracers of Archery are nice," he repeated again in Izayah's voice. The sheer number of people here was more than he had given credit having taken the infiltration route. And the massive halberd trauma.

OOC: Cancelling the magic quiver of arrows.

Several of the shapeshifters were no longer shape-shifted; including the sapient ball of darkness. That made for quite the crowd over a small pile of magic items that were not meant for painful death. "The long-limbed guy has it pretty simplified. There are plenty of weapons to go around, but the hobs had a preference that aren't really suited to the rest of us, so it cuts down on the desirable pieces."

Qitris never was one for public speaking unless it was to taunt or snark, so this was absolutely outside her comfort zone. But she can direct it that way. "Perhaps one pick for the time being. If there isn't enough of something, then discuss between the interested parties. Whoever doesn't get the thing can try to claim something of value to exchange and see if the magic lady can provide it? Sorry, haven't been here long and forget names. But there are alternatives through shopping and-or a forge."

"Alsoasuitofhalf-platemightbegoodandIcanthrowinmychainmailtooffset."

Victor nods at Qitris's suggestion and moves to rap a knuckle against one of the sets of armour.

"If we are to pick one thing each first then I would prefer to be better protected. This looks to be close enough to my size."

OOC: If we're sticking to one item each then Victor really wants a set of full-plate.

Tiria snorts and rolls her eyes at her tiefling friend, "The best defense is a good offense Victor, you told me that when we first sparred."

She twirls the dagger in her fingers and smiles, "This for me then, it is quite well balanced."

OOC: I'll yield the Boots of the Winterlands to others with better use for them and pick up a +1 dagger for Tiria.

With this suggestion added, I have (with great audacity) suggested how these contended items might be distributed, with Bold text.   This is, of course, simply my humble suggestion.



That seems to equate to one magical item for each person that contributed, other than:
Malkus
Sovok
Donella
Spark

I have not bothered factoring in the mundane armours and arms yet.

Thoughts?

I have edited the list, indicating first choice items in Bold. Please edit if I have gotten it wrong.

Not sure on 1st choices for Lukas…

Edited!

“If I might be permitted,” Donella requested, “I could find use for that Alchemy Jar”; being an Artificer, as she is.

Izayah shook his head. "Just t'be absolutely clear, I would like a set of magical half-plate armor."

He paused.

"If there's someone else that wants magical half-plate armor but's willin' t'accept it, I'll give 'em my magical scale mail armor instead so I can get the magical half-plate armor an' they still get somethin' cool - an' they would still get a pick from the pile since the scale mail's comin' offa me an' not the pile."

He paused.

"If there's still too many people an' not enough magical half-plate armor, I'm willin' t'grab a non-magical set o'half-plate armor an' some other magic item like them archery bracers or magical arrows in a quiver. Or just more money or stuff t'sell or whatever. I'm not that picky usually."

OOC: Apparently I wasn't clear that it was top pick and backup choices in my previous post since at least two people have questioned it, despite saying the other two were backup choices.

"I would prefer a magical half plate but if I can have the Belt of Dwarvenkind, seeing how no one else is particularly interested in it, I would be okay with the magical scale mail instead", Guyver offered:"The scale armor is a little better than my current scale, and the additional resilience the belt offers should make up for a little protection".

(Izayah's scale +1 plus the added hitpoints from the Con +2 the belt gives is an alright alternative to the plate +1. The belt also gives me dark vision I currently don't have)

Is there anyone who hasn’t expressed a preference yet? I think we need to put a time limit on it. Can I suggest that all preferences need to be sorted by the end of Sunday, then on Monday we divide the loot.

As to a division, all players will get their first choice. The only issue is the Gem of Seeing between Azu and Elisar which we need to sort. All players can then take their second choice if it is available, then third, etc.

Once we have taken what we want then all remaining items can be sold to the various shops in Smiths Gambit and the proceeds divided between those PCs who took part in the raid. Maybe those who took a 2nd/3rd loot item get a slightly smaller share?

I’m happy to sort this on Monday if nobody objects.

Sounds like a plan
