Let's break the gems and free the trapped souls, for a start.

Edit: I'm interested in either the emblem or Agares's ring, speaking of stuff. +AC is love, in non-amulet form doubly so. The latter would mean a quest, surely, which is always fun.

[Corwin]

Doing upkeep, basically to keep what I talked with you about from before Avernus listed, Dune.

Hoard changes:
-A statue of an elf on horseback, life sized, and carved of marble and inlaid with gemstones: 9,380 GP.
-Full Plate Armor: 1,500 GP.
-Pile of gemstones 1(Agates, Tanzinite, small rubies): 1,409 GP.
-Pile of gemstones 2(Sunstones, yellow quartz): 1660 GP.
-4,500gp's worth of exotic coins to cover the silver/gold needed to complete the gifts to Earth
+A smooth, round onyx gemstone: 435 GP.
+An iron bracelet set with a single tiny band of gold in the center: 103 GP.
+Crystal table: 10,900 GP.
+Dragon-diamond crown: 14,400 GP.

Otherwise:
Leather Bodysuit(Bloodstained): This functions as leather armor+2. It's of fine craftsman ship, having value as art as well as a practical outfit. 5,300 GP. -> used to purchase a Wilding Clasp (4,000gp) which is used on the Greater Luckstone, leaving +1,300gp to personal cash.
Ring of Protection+1: 2,000 GP. -> pays for the enchantments on the gifts to Earth.

Freeing the CG souls is a given.

Alicia will claim Aularos's trident and Mytheleros as trophies.

No objection to Seira claiming Agares' ring. I think she also claimed two of the huge tridents, and gets Silent Scorn.

Anty surely deserves Dark Ward for having soloed Natara into a retreat earlier on, she can keep it as a shiny trophy even if she doesn't use it, and let Latha have a look for inspiration. She also gets one of the huge tridents that Alicia didn't want after getting Aularos's.

Donald deserves the Krystear Emblem for killing that guy and taking the trouble to go back and grab it. It fits in with his collection of obscure AC boosters.

How about giving the Balor's Horn and Lesser Rod of Tyranny to Romiel? Celestia can keep the latter well locked away, and surely find a good use for the former.

The nine freed souls are now able to travel to their reward. More on this later.

NPC interests:

Donald has some interest in Silent Scorn but it would need to be redeemed. Someone claimed the last huge trident, but I forget who. Could someone remember or look it up for me? Romiel is very interested in the Lesser Rod of Tyranny, and was planning to claim it anyway. Donald isn't that interested in the Krystear Emblem, he'd rather have the bastard sword and let someone else claim the emblem if possible. Antenora will take Natara's armor if given, but she'll donate it to Sylica to do with as they see fit and use the cash and good will to do some gear upgrading for everyone. She has more of an interest in Balor's Horn, but she isn't married to it since the amulet slot is highly contested for her with her current amulet.

---

Seira, imput on the proposed divisions? If all's good we'll roll with this.

[Corwin]

As said in #e, if Donald likes it so much, let's trade. No issues with any of the rest, really.

Unrelated to this, I don't suppose Romiel managed to get basic trophies like the tridents I could hand to the elemental commanders? I wish I thought about this at the time, but hindsight is 20/20, and I only brought 2 with me.

[Corwin]

Can I redeem the ring? While the mechanics of sending myself on a quest to purify it in my name boggle the mind, it'd be kinda cool if I didn't need to borrow someone's power to ultimately convert it.

[Anastasia]

Trading is fine.

You can redeem the ring with your own power if you desire to. You're a power, albeit a weak one. Nothing wrong with this, though it won't mitigate the need for a quest. Alternately at this power stage, you could begin researching magics to purify captured items without a quest drawing on your own powers, perhaps as ninth level or epic level magic. Do bear in mind that the quest often shapes how the purified item shapes up.

[Corwin]

I'll research it once I actually have lvl9 spells, then. Though it's bound to be useful when others appeal to me, a quest is still the cooler option, I feel. Not really sure what you mean about the quest shaping it, since I haven't really picked what I'd do on said quests before. But I have an idea on how I might pursue this IC, so I will use it once it's time.

Treasures given to Alicia by Ebony:

1 scroll of Mephistopheles' Cold Hand:

Mephistopheles' Cold Hand
Evocation  [Force, Cold]
Level:    Sor/Wiz 10, Cania 10
Components: V, S, F/DF.
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range:    Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect:  10-ft. hand
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw:    None
Spell Resistance: Yes

This spell functions as Crushing Hand with a strength score of 41, except all the damage it inflicts counts as frostburn damage, as well as ignoring cold resistance(but not immunity.).

Arcane Focus: The hand of a creature who died of exposure to cold.

1 scroll of Field of Icy Razors.

1 scroll of Canian Ice Storm: This is as Meteor Swarm, except that it deals cold damage and piercing damage instead of fire damage and bludgeoning damage. Spear-like shards of ice form an ice storm, obliterating any it strikes.

2 doses of Canian Wine: Poison, DC 35, 2d6/2d6 dex damage.

[Ebiris]

Alicia will Analyze Dweomer G'renna's magic rings at some point when she's not hilariously run off her feet with stuff happening nonstop. Thank goodness she doesn't need to sleep anymore.

[Anastasia]

Ring of Invisibility: As per the SRD.
Ring of Greater Planeshift: Once per day, may invoke Greater Planeshift.

[Ebiris]

Alicia will use a Wish spell to create a special magic item for Maksim as a reward for his faith and for saving her family from an untimely end. It will be in the form of an amulet, an aqua hued spherical opal set into a mithral clasp on a silver chain, which grants a +1 sacred bonus to AC and saves, and allows him to cast a CL 15 heal spell only once. After the heal spell is used, the opal loses its colouring to become irridescent white, but continues to confer the AC and save bonuses.

AC Bonus (Sacred) +1 = 1x1x2500 = 2500
Save Bonus (Sacred) +1 = 1x1x2000 = 2000

Single use CL 15 Heal spell = 6x15x50 = 4500

Total = 9000gp

Different abilities are in play, so the two cheaper things have a 50% surcharge added on.

AC Bonus = 3750
Save Bonus = 3000
Heal = 4500
Total = 11,250gp

[Anastasia]

Fire: Breastplate+7. This armor has a maximum dexterity cap of 14, no arcane spell failure and only -1 armor check penalty. The gems in the armor are infused with fire magic, granting her a +3 bonus to her caster level with spells of the fire descriptor. By drawing on the magic within the gems, Seira can enhance (as the epic metamagic feat) one spell or spell-like ability with the fire descriptor per day, with no increase in casting time or spell level.

Holy War: Breastplate+7. This armor has a maximum dexterity cap of 12, no arcane spell failure and only -2 armor check penalty. The gems in the armor provide sacred power to conduct just war, granting Alicia a +2 sacred bonus to strength. By drawing on the magic within the gems, Alicia can consecrate  and purify(as the metamagic feats) one spell or spell-like ability per day, with no increase in casting time or spell level.

[Ebiris]

I kinda wish Latha had remembered I can cast in armour and focused her efforts on getting rid of the armour check penalty instead of the arcane spell failure chance, but it's a good suit of armour, anyway. Alicia will proudly wear it, and gift her current armour to the church of Mystra in Kelara to be given to a suitable champion of Mystra whenever one arises.

[Corwin]

I'll happily wear mine since it's a very pretty gift. I think all I need to keep in mind is the -1 to attacks, and that I can't sleep in it anymore or I get fatigued?
