Loot (Skaya)

[Corwin]

Okay, let's do some housekeeping.

Totaling up the cost of everything so far (and with the understanding there's probably more to be found down there) is 41725 gold and 41 silver in the items. This does not include the 18000 /  3000 gold for us individually. It also does not include the 2000 gold for the variety of books or the 2500 for the super evil book.

Okay, so let's use that roll for "36 large gold bars."

If we need a roll of Appraisal to merely count golden coins, let's take 10 for 27 (on another day so +5 bonus happens) for the "A whole lot of gold coins" treasure.

Large Gold Bars, Ianthe Mintage

Each gold bar is heavy, full and alchemically purified gold. As such, each bar is worth 1,000 gold.

Large Gold Coins, Ianthe Mintage

These gold coins are bigger, thicker and purer than normal gold coins. There are 573 in total and each is worth 50 gold, for a total of 28,650 gold.

And finally, what we paid for medical supplies out of pocket:

21:19 <•Anastasia> "Perhaps." Starre muses on it briefly as Rudy returns, arms full, "I have three scrolls of remove disease, a potion that does the same and a heap of alchemical supplies. 825 for the three scrolls, 750 for the potion and a total of 300 for the alchemical supplies. 1875 total."
21:20 — Skaya roots in the coin pouch she was provided to draw the funds and see how much they have left to purchase with.
21:26 <•Anastasia> In heavy platinum coins is 1,000 gold. That leaves 875 to pay for.

20:46 <•Anastasia> It doesn't take long for Peake to return, carrying a loaded pack with him, "In very short: seven scrolls of cure disease, seven potions of cure disease and some assorted supplies like you asked for. Eight thousand gold."
20:49 — Skaya sighs, but doesn't wait before withdrawing a large golden coin. "Would this do? I value them at fifty gold each. One hundred and sixty coins would cover this purchase."

8,875gp was used up by our funds.

So that means we had 36,000gp from Large Gold Bars, Ianthe Mintage and 28,650gp from Large Gold Coins, Ianthe Mintage.

After converting it to gold and subtracting the golden coins we used for medical supplies, we get 36,000+28,650-8,875 = 55,775gp.

Now, to add the recent gains: Neph tallied everything to 41,725.41gp and I can only thank him for his efforts. Let's add the evil spellbook of 2,500gp and the 'reward/compensation' money here after all for 18,000gp and we get 41,725.41+2,500+18,000 = 62,258.41gp. Together, it comes to a shared fund of 118,025.41gp. Not bad!

The reason I did it like this is that we're going to be able to purchase magical/expensive gear we want out of the loot with our individual share of the proceeds.

The rest are a variety of books that will require a lot of time to read and understand. There's some good magical lore here. You can study them yourselves if you want, or simply sell them for 2,000 gold.

Why not both, pretty much. Sanda and Skaya at least have a week or so now to study this and it might help expand their understanding of magic. If the books turn out to be some amazing one-off thing that self-destructs, Skaya will pay for the 2k. Otherwise, we can sell them later once we've gained our insights.

[Corwin]

And this is a separate post about magic items. Let's discuss the Mystra loot first.

Now you've earned a lot of good will with the local authorities, and they're happy to learn on Mystra's temple to help pay the piper. It's classic passing the buck, and naturally the Mystrans aren't happy about it. They'll let you take two without complaint, but each item beyond that is going to increasingly deteriorate your relations with them. There's no real limit to what you can take of what you borrowed this way, only the question of how much you want to sour your relations with them.

Unless, of course, you do something like make some donations in turn. Cash or goods are fine.

Bear in mind Devar mentioned trying to get spells from them, and that's not going to go well if they're unhappy with you.

Okay, we don't actually need spells from them, do we? Neph? What in particular did you aim for?

But I do agree we shouldn't antagonize them, so let's see what we actually need.

20:49 <•Kotono> Heatwave
20:49 <•Kotono> Greataxe+2, flaming. Grants a +5 bonus to damage for spells and spell-like abilities that deal fire damage.
20:49 <•Kotono> Heavy Redoubt
20:49 <•Kotono> Cold iron mace+1 that grants a +1 deflection bonus to armor class and a +3 resistance bonus to saving throws.
20:49 <•Kotono> Endless Rapids
20:49 <•Kotono> Handaxe+2. Increases your level by two for the sake of a monk's unarmed attack, AC bonus and movement speed bonus. Does not stack with a monk's belt or similar.
20:49 <•Kotono> Treant's Wrath
20:49 <•Kotono> Warhammer+1, deals double damage to creatures with the fire subtype. Grants damage reduction 5/cold iron when wielded.
20:49 <•Kotono> Clearwater Helmet
20:49 <•Kotono> Grants a +1 resistance bonus to saving throws and a +2 enhancement bonus to Constitution. If worn by an Eldathian, it grants a +2 enhancement bonus to Charisma. If worn by an Eldathian with the Vow Of Nonviolence feat, they gain a +5 competence bonus to all Wisdom based skill checks.
20:49 <•Kotono> Clearwater Ring
20:49 <•Kotono> This ring allows the wearer to breathe underwater as well as move freely in water, as if by a freedom of movement spell. It grants an additional three uses of channel energy per day. If worn by an Eldathian, it grants a +1 bonus to caster levels of all spells. If they also have the Vow Of Nonviolence feat, they gain a +5 competence bonus to all Charisma based skill checks.

Since the expendables are returned, I'm sure we all agree that we can just pay for a scroll or a wand if we need it, no need to trash our reputation over it. Thus, out of that list, we want....

Anne wouldn't mind keeping Heavy Redoubt and the Clearwater Ring. Edit: Also the heavy steel shield+1 would be nice since it's an upgrade for her, but she might buy that out of funds anyway.

Starre didn't use any of that so she's neutral.

Rina's fine on that. Sanda wouldn't mind a weapon even if she does use a quarterstaff for practical reasons. Neither of them were involved so they're ultimately neutral.

For his part, Devar would definitely like to keep the Clearwater items and try and find the other pieces if possible, as well as the Treant's Wrath.

First,regarding the heavy shield +1 Anne is talking about, she can indeed handle it via her share of the funds. I approve! I think Heavy Redoubt should be one of the 2 items we get for free from the Mystrans. Anne also wants the Clearwater ring, but because she's getting an item for free I'll pressure her to give up that claim in favor of Devar.

Thus, Devar! I think you should get the other free item, or possibly badger the Mystra church to give you both Clearwater items as you're a really good fit for them, faith-wise. Our reputation will take a hit, but not so much we can't handle it, and perhaps you could convince them it's fine. Also, if you pay for Treant's Wrath and Anne pays for that shield, they might be mollified we're not trying to take them to the cleaners.  Alternately, you might get Treant's Wrath for free and badger them for a cheap deal for an Eldathan on the Clearwater Helmet and Clearwater Ring? Ultimately, up to you. I do promise that if they ask an exorbitant price I will loan you the money you'll need to buy both. We should probably return that adamantine weapon if it's a loaner, though.

Skaya would like to purchase the wand of Magic Missile, CL 3, 41 charges left. Also, she'd like to buy the following with her share:
Bracers Of Armor+2: 4,000 gold.
Ruby Ring Of Defense: Ring Of Protection+1: 2,000 gold.
Onyx Ring Of Missiles: Increases the damage of a single target magic missile spell by 5, tints the missiles purple-black. 5,000 gold.
Skaya also wants to keep one of the Ianthe coins (50gp) as a souvenier.

Skaya further proposes group funds are used to purchase the following:
1 wand of Cure Light Wounds, CL 3, 9 charges left.
2 potions of Cure Serious Wounds.
3 potions of Cure Moderate Wounds.
5 potions of Cure Light Wounds.

Finally, Skaya proposes the following is kept by the group as shared property:
Sturdy Large Chest: 20 gold.
1 enchanted gold coin: Coin Of Plenty. Once per day can be flipped. If heads, produces food of your choice, enough for 10 people to eat a full meal. If tails, you suffer 1d10 points of damage and 1 point of Charisma damage. Attempts to influence the coin flip results in tails and tripled penalties from it. 2,000 gold.
Eldath's Preservation Sphere: This sphere preserves everything immediately around it. Such items do not decay, get older or otherwise weaken with time. Has no effect on creatures of any kind. Affects a space equal to the size of the Sturdy Large Chest, above. Requires an Eldathian to set, otherwise it will not work. 4,500 gold.
Iron Key: An iron key. It must open something.
Silver Key: It must open something.
Steel Key: All of these keys have to mean something, don't they?

I will tally shares once Neph weighs in. Tentatively, each of us have:
118,025.41gp / 6 = 19,670.9gp

Of course, that's without considering our previous personal funds. Skaya, for example, has 19,670.9+710.6 = 20,381.5gp before she pays for her purchases here.

[Corwin]

I wanted to purchase some magic items, but do the following exist for sale here?

Cloak of Resistance +1 through +3
Amulet of Mighty Fists +1
Amulet of Health +2/Gauntlets of Ogre Power (str +2)/Gloves of Dexterity +2/Headband of Intellect +2
Dusty Rose Ioun Stone
Pearl of Power lvl1 through lvl2
Monk's Belt

Obviously I can only afford one or two of them, but I'm just curious what sort of things are possible here.

Is there a consumable (potion/scroll) for Regenerate or Reincarnate? Something that might help our benefactor mage back home, in other words. If so, what is it priced at?

I would like to get a masterwork kama and a masterwork siangham to replace my secondary weapons that weren't masterwork. Further, I'd like to get some masterwork weapons with reach (ranseur, longspear, guisarme). Is it doable?

[Corwin]

Mundane gear gear worth 178 gold.
63 gold, 83 silver, 163 copper
Gold ring: 250 gold.
Gold anklet: 200 gold.
Short sword+1: 2000 gold.
Scrolls of lightning bolt, hideous laughter, invisibility sphere: 375 gold, 150 gold and 375 gold.
Potion of cure moderate wounds: 300 gold.
Wand of light, 23 charges left: 172 gold and 5 silver.
Gold ring with large red gemstone: Illuminates the wearer with faerie fire (red). Has properties as a key that aren't well understood. 1,000 gold.
Gold ring with large blue gemstone: Illuminates the wearer with faerie fire (blue). Has properties as a key that aren't well understood. 1,000 gold.

Right, so the rings aren't sold. Let's also keep the healing potion for now. The sword, scrolls and wand are half price, the rest full price.

63gp+84.63sp + 250gp + 200gp + 1,000gp + 450gp + 86gp+2.5sp = 2,049gp and 87.13sp

Divided by 7 = 293gp each, and let's donate the remaining 6 or so gold in small change to the orphanage.

I've long wanted to fix this, since I went by half-price and later realized we were using full price for selling all magical items.

This means 1,000gp + 450gp + 86gp+2.5sp = 1,536gp and 2.5sp divided 7 ways. So that's 219.42gp for everyone there except Starre (Rina gets Regis's share as well, so she has 438.85gp).

[Nephrite]

I definitely don't need any spells for free, just figured it was a good option, but if it would make them upset or tilt things I can just pay them for the Luminous Armor and we can find other opportunities for adding spells down the road, it's no big deal at all.

I'm also fine petitioning them based on faith for the two Clearwater items, and maybe seeing if we can get some help locating the others - I'm going to guess they haven't gone very far and are probably somewhere in that undercity, but maybe the Mystrans can help with some divinations after we sort everything out. Devar's fine to pay for them.

He wouldn't mind just straight paying for the Treant's Wrath either, that's totally fine as well.


Like Skaya, he'd like to see if they can find any of the following in town (obviously give it a few days)

-Artificer's Monocle, 3000 gp

[Anastasia]

Side note: If y'all are carrying more, a wagon may be necessary. At least Starre think it's a good idea.

First,regarding the heavy shield +1 Anne is talking about, she can indeed handle it via her share of the funds. I approve! I think Heavy Redoubt should be one of the 2 items we get for free from the Mystrans. Anne also wants the Clearwater ring, but because she's getting an item for free I'll pressure her to give up that claim in favor of Devar.

That's fine. Honestly, she was going to suggest sharing it as needed if she got it. A +1 CL is huge for Devar and the price is incredible, but the +3 turns is lifesaving if needed. Heavy Redoubt's better for her overall because of the defensive boost.

The rest of it sounds fine. If all goes well, give me grand totals for distribution.

Dareslan is in a bad situation right now, so selection's scattershot. I'll be rolling for anything that isn't obviously out of stock, such as a potion of cure disease. Lower is better.

Cloak of Resistance +1 through +3

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=77 ]{77}

No luck on that. Not the worst role but these are in high demand right now.

Amulet of Mighty Fists +1

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=99 ]{99}

Also not available.

Amulet of Health +2

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=49 ]{49}

No dice. Another high demand item due to plague.

Gauntlets of Ogre Power (str +2)

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=61 ]{61}

It's available.

Gloves of Dexterity +2

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=41 ]{41}

Also available.

Headband of Intellect +2

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=49 ]{49}

They have one. It's a common item and int based casters aren't that useful for a plague.

Dusty Rose Ioun Stone

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=33 ]{33}

There is one.

Pearl of Power lvl1 through lvl2

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=19 ]{19}

Yep.

Monk's Belt

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=69 ]{69}

Just made it, but they are available.

Is there a consumable (potion/scroll) for Regenerate or Reincarnate? Something that might help our benefactor mage back home, in other words. If so, what is it priced at?

Not a chance in current conditions. Blame Brachidos and plagues.

I would like to get a masterwork kama and a masterwork siangham to replace my secondary weapons that weren't masterwork. Further, I'd like to get some masterwork weapons with reach (ranseur, longspear, guisarme). Is it doable?

Go for it.

-Artificer's Monocle, 3000 gp

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=67 ]{67}[/quote]

There's one that might be yours, if you want to spend the gold on it.

[Corwin]

Skaya further proposes group funds are used to purchase the following:
1 wand of Cure Light Wounds, CL 3, 9 charges left.
2 potions of Cure Serious Wounds.
3 potions of Cure Moderate Wounds.
5 potions of Cure Light Wounds.

Finally, Skaya proposes the following is kept by the group as shared property:
Sturdy Large Chest: 20 gold.
1 enchanted gold coin: Coin Of Plenty. Once per day can be flipped. If heads, produces food of your choice, enough for 10 people to eat a full meal. If tails, you suffer 1d10 points of damage and 1 point of Charisma damage. Attempts to influence the coin flip results in tails and tripled penalties from it. 2,000 gold.
Eldath's Preservation Sphere: This sphere preserves everything immediately around it. Such items do not decay, get older or otherwise weaken with time. Has no effect on creatures of any kind. Affects a space equal to the size of the Sturdy Large Chest, above. Requires an Eldathian to set, otherwise it will not work. 4,500 gold.
Iron Key: An iron key. It must open something.
Silver Key: It must open something.
Steel Key: All of these keys have to mean something, don't they?

Since this apparently went through, let's deduct it from the total funds.

A wand of a lvl1 spell at CL3 is 2,250 gp for 50 charges. For 9 charges, it'd cost 405gp. A CLW potion is 50gp, so 5 of them would be 250gp. A CMW potion is 300gp, so 3 of them would be 900gp. A CSW potion is 750gp, so 2 of them would be 1,500gp.

Finally, a wand of Magic Missile, CL 3, 41 charges left would be 1,845gp.

118,025.41 -405 -250 -900 -1,500 -20 -2,000 -4,500 -1,845 = 106,605.41gp

Previously: 118,025.41gp / 6 = 19,670.9gp
Final result: 106,605.41gp / 6 = 17,767.56gp

[Corwin]

Skaya's purchases:

Also, she'd like to buy the following with her share:
Bracers Of Armor+2: 4,000 gold.
Ruby Ring Of Defense: Ring Of Protection+1: 2,000 gold.
Onyx Ring Of Missiles: Increases the damage of a single target magic missile spell by 5, tints the missiles purple-black. 5,000 gold.
Skaya also wants to keep one of the Ianthe coins (50gp) as a souvenier.

First, Skaya's funds adjustment to pay for the shared expenses: 20,600.92 - 1,903.34 = 18,697.58

She'd like to get a masterwork weapon, plus the Dusty Rose Ioun Stone and Headband of Intellect +2 on top of what's quoted above. Is anyone able and willing to float her a 2k loan?

[Anastasia]

Rina will, sure.

So is 17767.56 the final share to everyone?

[Corwin]

Rina will, sure.

So is 17767.56 the final share to everyone?

That is correct. And thanks, Rina!

Skaya's funds: 18,697.58 +2,000 (Rina) - 4,000 gold (Bracers Of Armor+2) - 2,000 gold (Ruby Ring Of Defense: Ring Of Protection+1) - 5,000 gold (Onyx Ring Of Missiles: Increases the damage of a single target magic missile spell by 5, tints the missiles purple-black.) - 50gp (one of the Ianthe coins) - 5,000gp (Dusty Rose Ioun Stone) -4,000gp (Headband of Intellect +2) = 647.58gp

Then, Skaya will get a masterwork kama and siangham for 302gp and 303gp respectively.

Final funds: 647.58gp - 605gp = 42.58gp

[Anastasia]

Rina has 17767.56 gold. She spends 2k on a Skaya loan. 15767.56 gold left.

Since they're known as available, Rina spends 4k on Gloves Of Dexterity+2. 11767.56 gold left.

Rina would really like a short sword+1, keen. Is there one handy?

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=68 ]{68}

Just. 3767.56 gold left.

Ring Of Protection+1?

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=47 ]{47}

Yep. 1676.56 gold left.

[Anastasia]

First, Anne gets Heavy Redoubt.

Heavy Redoubt

Cold iron mace+1 that grants a +1 deflection bonus to armor class and a +3 resistance bonus to saving throws.

Anne has 17767.56 gold. By her vows, half of that goes to the needy, so that leaves her with 8883 gold, with the change going to them as well.

She wants that Heavy Steel Shield+1, so 7883 gold left. Now, can she find a breastplate+1?

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=22 ]{22}

That's a success. 6883 gold left.

Any luck on a wisdom+2 booster? This is a long shot due to local conditions.

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=69 ]{69}

No luck.

Amulet of Retributive Healing? A long shot due to conditions.

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=55 ]{55}

Also no luck.

She'll go with the Gauntlets Of Ogre Strength+2. 2883 gold left, she'll stop there for now. Oh wait, she has a now useless breastplate she'll pawn for 150 gold. 3033 gold. She's good there for now.

[Anastasia]

Sanda has 17767.56 gold. As much as she wants to keep all of it, she does need supplies.

Sanda has a limp to compensate for. Can she find Boots of Striding and Springing?

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=26 ]{26}

She can. -5500 gold for 12267.56 gold.

Is there another int+2 booster?

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=66 ]{66}

No luck. Unfortunate. How about a quarterstaff+2?

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=16 ]{16}

She'll take the hit and damage boost and be happy with it. 4267.56 gold, she'll hang onto the rest for expenses.

[Nephrite]

Devar has 18,299.56 gold.

He will purchase the Artificer's Monocle for 3000 gold.

He will ask the Mystrans for Treant's Wrath as well as the Clearwater pieces. For whatever it's worth he would take 10 for 24 on Diplomacy to see if they'd be willing to let the Clearwater equipment go to an Eldathian for either free or at some sort of discount.

He's willing to donate his gold if the above didn't seem like it would make them happy. If they are willing to part with them for free he would be willing to pay for divinations towards answering the questions of how many of the rest of the pieces there are and where they might be located.

If they weren't willing to part with them for free then he'd pay 12,000 gold to them if they'd accept that and ask for the above divinations as part of it.

[Anastasia]

They'll agree with that trade, sure. They're grateful not to get completely strong armed here, so they'll do the divinations (once available, it will take several days to free capacity at best due to plague demands). Is a wait any problem for Devar?
