Loot Thread:

[Anastasia]

This goes without incident.

[Anastasia]

From the troll:

Adamantine Battleax: 3000 GP is the selling price. What are you doing with it?

[Anastasia]

Loot from the ruins this raid:

Strange metal controlling orb
Various devilish arms and armor.
Black Horn Spear.
Forest decorated Longbow.
Chainmail.

[Anastasia]

Okay, announce your actions on any of your loot. Who's shelling out for ID this time?

[Ebiris]

133gp each (I'll put in 134 if we really care about fractions) to ID the orb, spear, longbow, and chainmail

Detect Magic on the mass of stuff Seira took from the devils,

[Anastasia]

Chainmail is Chainmail+2. 4000 GP.

Spear is Black Horn Spear: Long Spear+2. When used in a charge, it gains doubled damage (2x multiplier)  and counts as wounding.  22,500 GP. (+3 with added cost to cover somewhat special powers.)

Bow is Nature's Savant: Longbow +1.  When used against foes under the following conditions below, it gains a -bane of approriate type and holy.

- Goblins, trolls, half orcs, orcs.

- Nightmares.

- Any being that is a great and present danger to a unicorn's forest.

Once per day it can cast Summon Nature's Ally 2.  10,000 GP. Potent, but very difficult to price due to it's nature. Someone who's attuned for this sort of thing would probably pay a lot more. In theory.

Orb is Metalline Orb of Spirit and Control.  It has an intelligence and strong powers over metal, however, the intellect inside resists the Identify spell. GP cost: ????

The various weapons are cruel, barbed affairs. They bring to mind gnomemetal creations, excellent weapons. They are masterwork, as well as possessing an innate +2 enhancement bonus to damage.  The armors are mirror polished, reflecting the wearer's face back. Yet each reflection is slightly distorted for the worst, gleaming like a mirror gone bad in the hectic movements of battle.  The armors are plate mail, chainmail and breastplates. Each is masterwork and gives a +2 bonus to saves/AC versus rays, beams and the like, as well as a +1 bonus to any fear based attacks the wearer makes in combat.

Are you still giving this stuff to the guard? I won't bother pricing it up if so.

[Ebiris]

Alicia is not interested in the longbow, but Seira apparently is.

Alicia will claim the spear, although she might be a while in paying for it.

Chainmail can be easily sold, I think.

Orb is way too potentially awesome to sell, and I think Seira wants it, anyway.

And I've got no say in the other stuff.

This works with the assumption that Deme doesn't want to grab any of this loot. None of it's a real hit for him, and I think he said he was fine with whatever for it anyway. (Correct me if I'm wrong, Deme.) How's the math look with it being done that way?

[Ebiris]

36,500 total works out as 12,166 each, not counting the orb.

Deme gets 4,000 from sale of the chain mail.

Seira gets 10,000gp worth of bow and XXXgp worth of orb.

Alicia gets 22,500gp worth of spear, which means she owes 8,167gp to Demedais and 2,167gp to Seira.

Of course, getting a price on the Orb would shift things about a ton, and would probably be more fair.

[Anastasia]

The orb's funky; I can give you a rough GM price if you guys really wantsomething to work with.

It very well may change, I'd personally recommend you guys not resolve it's cost until it's figured out better.

[Ebiris]

Eh, probably best if we just leave it as is for now, then once Seira's mastered the Orb and we can accurately determine its worth, she can pay Deme and I a third each of it.

[Taishyr]

Okay, general down-low; I don't care. >_> People are keeping the spear and bow, which is all I'd ask the group keeps. From there, whatevs.

Metalline Orb of Spirit and Control, cowed.

This is an intelligent magical item. On being touched, it attempts to use telepathy to wrest control of the toucher's body. This results in opposed intelligence checks, with a losing toucher being temporarily overwhelmed. It's modifier for such checks is +7. If the orb is sufficiently tamed by whatever means (Negotiation, fear, bribery, whatever) It possesses the following powers. However, it is not to be forgotten that it is a somewhat hostile intelligence, and by all indications not sane.

Telepathy, 20 ft range. (Su)

This functions as a limited telepathy that allow communication between the orb and the holder. This functions automatically on touch, certain normal precautions such as protection from evil do not prevent this power from functioning. This is used to send commands to the orb; however, it also is is also aware of audible words spoken in it's range.

Metallic Attraction. (Su)

This spell can attract metallic objects as per a Telekinesis spell's violent thrust ability, except that the objects unfailingly come towards the orb.  It has a weight limit of 25 pounds and a range of 40 feet. This will garner all loose metals without a save, things held by a creature allow the creature a will save of a strength check to hold on, whichever is higher. The DC for this ability is 20.  No opposed intelligence check is required.

Metal crafting. (Su)

This orb may construct impromptu crafts of metal on the spot. Items created this way are of average craftsmanship, often oddly shaped but functional. Armor and weapons made in this way are normal, non masterwork affairs. However, while the orb has a genuine flair for creationism far beyond this, it invariably gets worked up when using this power. Intelligence checks are required in those cases.

Metallic spell resistance. (Su)

Against spells designed to target metals (Heat Metal, for example), the bearer of the orb possesses spell resistance 21. This spell resistance applies even if the spell in question does not normally allow spell resistance.

Designs (Su)

The orb's awareness possesses knowledge of myriad diagrams for metal designs of all sorts. With a successful intelligence check against the orb, the holder can attempt to find a diagram of their choice. In practical terms, this grants a +3 bonus to craft checks regarding this item, or can pull of designs entirely from the blue.

Detect Metal (Su)

The orb can invoke detect metal within a 60 foot radius. The type and rough quantity of metal is known and relayed back to the controller.

---

GP value 40,000. This orb is something of an anomaly;  highly, highly focused and not docile. The identify spell does not provide any information on the spirit within, however.

Revised loot breakdown

4,000 + 10,000 + 22,500 + 40,000 = 76,500

This works out as 25,500gp each.

Alicia keeps the 22,500gp spear, and Seira keeps the 10,000gp bow and 40,000gp orb. This means that:

Deme gets 4,000gp from sale of armour.

Alicia gets 22,500gp worth of spear.

Seira gets 50,000gp worth of orb and bow, and therefore owes 3,000gp to Alicia and 21,500gp to Demedais.

OR!

If the Orb is sold (since I think Cor was unsure), we get:

Deme gets 25,500gp

Alicia gets 22,500gp worth of spear and 3,000gp

Seira gets 10,000gp worth of bow and 15,500gp

So the question is, what happens to the Orb?

[Corwin]

We'll test run Lagann at the ruins and see the cool stuff it does. If it fails, off to the bidding block with it~
