Loot Thread:

[Anastasia]

Amaryl and Polly get 36,340gp each. Let's do Amaryl first.

She has no banked gold so she has a total of 36,340 to work with. She first upgrades her amulet of health from +2 to +4. This costs 12,000 GP. 24,340 left.
She then buys Bracers of Archery, Lesser. The greater ones tempt, but 20k isn't worth another +1 to hit/damage right now. This costs 5,000 GP. 19,340 left.
She then buys Gloves of Dexterity+2. This costs 4,000 GP. 15,340 left.
From there she sells her Cloak of Elvenkind. This nets her +2,500 GP. 17,840 left.
She then buys a Cloak of Resistance+4. This costs 16,000 GP. 1,840 left.

She'll keep the last 1,840 in gemstones on her person.

Purchases go without incident.

Demedais requests Elle use Analyze Dsomethingsomething or Identify, whichever would work, on the book and the evil chaotic eye sword, warns her of what happened to Seira when she read the book. Also gives Amaryl 100 gp to arrange a nice night for Seira since it was stressful.

He then settles in, Amanuensis' the old religious text he picked out from the first room and gets the copy to the High Priest, and during downtimes he reads through the old books that he carried back. Also Identifies the magical equipment they retrieved.

As a reminder for myself, what was retrieved:

Magical:
Creepy and gross eye sword
There are three magical weapons that are still intact: A greatsword with the eye of helm at it's hilt, a morning star made of mithral, and a double sword with tapering blades and perfect symmetry.
Taking the three weapons, the two head to armor. Here they find two surviving, magical suits of armor. One is an ornate full plate, with a visored helmet and regal plume atop it. The other is a war-scarred set of chain mail. The links gleam, save for where weapon impacts dull the metal into a gray shade.

Artifact-level?:
Book

Normal books:
'The Scriptures of the High Watcher' in Common
Two books on the teleportation circles.
Three books on the statues.
Two books on the defenses.
Several treatises on threats beyond the world. There's one called 'Tyrants of the Pit', 'The Endless Screaming Abyss', 'Primal Chaos and those that bow to it', and other such tomes.
Several books on military tactics. They emphasize using magic and strength at arms together.

Amaryl and Polly get 36,340gp each. Let's do Polly now.

She buys the Lord's Mithril Breastplate+4 and sells her mithril chain shirt+1. -29,000 and +3,000. This equals -26,000 in total. 10,340 left.
She then pays 5,000 GP to add sizing to the armor so that she can wear it. 5,340 left.
5,340 left, which she puts in the trust of the Temple of Helm for now.

Analyze Dweomer fails on the book.

8 Eyes: This glaive is studded with quasi-living eyes. It functions as a glaive+1, anarchic. Two times per day, the user may see through the eyes and use any one of the following spells as a spell like ability(CL 8): Detect Magic, Detect Law, Detect Undead, Detect Poison, Detect Good, Detect Evil, Detect Secret Doors, Detect Animals and Plants.  25,000 GP.

Amaryl blushes very hotly and declines the money. She has more than she can think of right now and she, um, er...can make Seira happy without money. She quickly excuses herself after saying that.

The high priest takes the text and will read it, thanking you.

The magical gear is the following:

Greatsword+1, axoimatic; Mithril Morning Star+2 impact; Double Sword+1 axiomatic; full plate+2; chainmail+2, axeblock.

We'll deal with the books IC tomorrow, say?

[Taishyr]

Demedais leaves the weapons and armor with the church, as well. He also gingerly takes the 8 Eyes sword to the High Priest and brings up the idea of "rectification" of the sword, using what Alicia's been doing as an example.

[Anastasia]

You swear to Helm that the stupid glaive is looking at you when you move it. We'll cover the rest tomorrow as well. Also, you know a glaive is a type of polearm and not a sword, right?

[Taishyr]

I didn't, truth be told!

The More You Know...

Edit: Absent from the list above was this:

A large section on crafting arms and armor, including a few on magical craft. <-- I took only the ones on magical craft.

[Taishyr]

Purchases:

One Teleport Circle scroll (5,000)
One book on Helm (how much?)
Three potions of Fly (2,250)

The teleport circle comes from Salman's funds; if later it's found they could have been bought cheaper Deme will cover the cost difference.

[Taishyr]

Scroll of Sending also purchased. (-700)

[Anastasia]

From the slain gelugon:

1 Falchion
1 Battleaxe
1 ring
1 studded leather armor.

All are magical. From inside it's pouch:

3 vials with pink-red liquid.
35 GP in local coin.
A book written in Infernal. It would need to be read to understand it's contents.

From the hamatula:

1 longbow

The vials are magic, the coins and book aren't.

[Ebiris]

I'll ask Elle to cast Analyze Dweomer on all the magic stuff. Any evil stuff will get put in the vault while the sellable stuff will be split between Alicia, Anty, Donald, and Elle.

[Anastasia]

Adamantine Falchion+1:  5000 GP.
Cold Iron Battleaxe+1:  4000 GP.
Ring of Mind Shielding: 9000 GP.
Studded Leather Armor+2: 4000 GP.
3 Potions of Bull's Strength:  900 GP in total.
35 GP in local coin as a reminder.
Longbow+1, unholy. This bow allows up to a +15 strength bonus to be used, but without penalty for a lesser strength.  Three times per day, as a full round action, it may unleash an arrow that can have any one of the following effects:

Edict of Hell: Acts as a suggestion spell(DC 27) as well as doing damage. The suggestion is shouted by the mouth of the bow when the arrow is shot.
Flames of Hell: The arrow fired deals an extra 6d6 fire damage. The mouth of the bow belches forth flames that engulf the arrow.
Voice of the Pit: The arrow fired deals an extra 3d12 sonic damage. The mouth of the bow screams phrases in the Dark Speech, cursing the arrow with twisted sonic power.

It has other powers, but it is beyond this magic's ability to understand.

[Ebiris]

Bow isn't going to be sold. Remainder totals up to 22,935gp. Split 4 ways between Alicia, Anty, Donald, and Elle that gives us 5,733gp each.

Alicia promptly requests the following to replace some of what was lost in that encounter:
720gp on 2 silvered banishing arrows for Marie
4,750gp on a bracelet of friends for Jessica, keyed to Alicia

Leaving her with a tidy profit of 263 shiny gold coins.

[Anastasia]

Antenora will contribute to pay for half of the costs for Marie and Alicia's purchases as well.
