Loot Thread:

Followup 1: Are you guys making purchases/upgrades now?

Followup 2: I'll just call the unholy stuff 10k, though you're going to get more raised eyebrows.

[Ebiris]

Alicia will use a good chunk of her funds to start construction on the Balmurian Temple to Mystra, after talking to Her newsest convert. We'll see how much that costs before worrying about other purchases.

[Taishyr]

Yes, and I'll get back to you on what I'm doing with the money once I can actually use the Internet properly. the SRD I use doesn't like my connection currently.

[Corwin]

I'll become gullible and mortgage my shades of passing will saves to Elle in exchange for dumping all the cash into a Circlet of Int upgrade!

[Ebiris]

Regarding the temple, I'll also hit up Elle for contributions, since she's Balmuria's premier mage (flattery seems to work well on her) and she might want to get in on the ground floor of this.

I'll also ask Antenora if she wants some awesome elven chain (ie a mithral chain shirt), and I'll order a set from the Elven Mission if she's interested. It has no armour check penalty so even without being proficient she can wear it with no difficulties. Would cost 1,100gp per SRD.

[Anastasia]

Re: Alicia and temple stuff: Okay.  We'll hit that up whenever and see it sorted this week. How grand a temple is Alicia thinking, ballpark?

Re: Antenora chain mail: She'd love some. The ordering can go without incident, you guys have plenty of pull there, especially if you ask Seira to put in a good word.

Re: Int item upgrade: Okay. I think +6 is the non epic limit, so do bear that in mind if it matters to you at all. But regardless, it's done. Int +.

[Ebiris]

Well, it depends how things go with the new cleric of Mystra - if they're a waste of space then I might not bother. But assuming all goes well,  it'd be a pretty big temple dominating the area which is currently Alicia's house, opening up onto the main street in a good location by the West gate. She'd want something pretty fancy and inspiring to show the grandeur of magic, so she'd hire the best artists to work on the statutory and suchlike. Also, that purple gem I mysteriously got a while back can get built into the main altar. I'm sure it'll bring us luck.

This will also necessitate hiring staff, of course, since one paladin and one low level cleric do not a temple make. So Alicia will also put some effort into proselytizing to gain converts and find talented people to serve the temple, from layservants to alchemists to guards and so on. And she'll try hard to get Elle on board to help in providing temple services like potions and scrolls, at least until our own clerics become good enough to maintain production.

This will probably cost an absolute bomb, and Alicia will be paying people's salaries out of her own pocket for a while, but I'm hoping with a sizable investment, we'll soon have a temple to rival Waukeen and Helm's established presences, and eclipse all the other upstarts now sprouting up in Balmuria.

I'll also send word through the Elf Mission to the Temple of Mystra we visited in Pallanth to see if any brave missionaries want to come and spread the word.

Loot from the assassin devil:

20 GP
Four vials of magical liquid
One non magical cloak
One non magical cold sword
One fleshy scroll.

[Anastasia]

The potions are:

Potion of Fly.
Potion of Haste.
Potion of Cure Serious Wounds.

The last potion isn't a normal potion, it needs to be identified with the spell. It's some sort of elixir or compound.

[Ebiris]

I'll give the potion of Fly to Demedais and keep the other three for myself (I'll worry about identifying the last after I seek out the Watcher).

I'll keep the 20gp.

I'll give the sword to the garrison and suggest they get it properly appraised since it's probably got a nonmagical buff like the ones Seira looted from the infernal armoury.

The scroll and the cloak can both burn.

[Taishyr]

28500 GP.

+2 to armor = 12000.

1 CLW Wand = 750.

Ring of Feather Fall as insurance = 2200 GP.

One CSW potion, two CMW potions.

6000 to Pollyanna as credit at Stronger's, 6000 to temple, leaves me with 200.

[Anastasia]

As a note in case I don't finish Polly's sheet tonight, she'll probably be spending that 6k right away.

[Ebiris]

So whatever happened with that gnomish book we looted?

[Anastasia]

So whatever happened with that gnomish book we looted?

Shit.

I'll post info there after we finish what we're doing today.

[Anastasia]

300 GP I.O.U. to Elle for the two resist energy scrolls.
