Thing readily recognizes the pilfered narcotics as Crimson Orphtos

Crimson Orphtos is a hallucinogenic Abyssal weed that when burned and inhaled floods the user's senses with empowering fantasies--one may believe he is exceptionally strong, talented, or charming, enough to fulfill whatever suppressed desires or failed goals frustrate him in everyday life, and bask in realistic delusions of a parallel world wherein he exploits these exceptional abilities for the greatest personal satisfaction regardless of the cost to others. The nature of these visions can vary in character according to the Abyssal layer on which the root was grown. Although users are not physically incapacitated by the drug, most users tend to lie comatose while entranced by their visions. However, the unpredictability of Abyssal flora occasionally produces quite the opposite reaction in some users--some have been reported taking violent and real physical action to participate in their newly perceived reality.

Users actively under the influence suffer 1d4 WIS damage upon initial exposure (fort DC 18 to resist). Exposure for more than two consecutive hours runs the risk of permanent WIS drain (1 point per failed save).

Crimson Orphtos is highly addictive (fort DC 15 to resist addiction).

A bundle of the drug sufficient for an hour's hallucinations usually runs at a price of 250gp. Thing retrieved enough of the drug for sixteen hours' worth of dubious recreation.

Isabel's corpse bears the following enchanted items:

-Winter's Raiment: this fabulous dress bestows cold immunity upon the wearer, as well as a +2 enhancement bonus to diplomacy checks for all its noble finery. Additionally, the wearer may act as if perpetually under the effects of Feather Fall and Endure Elements.
-1x Ring of Protection +3
-1x Amulet of Natural Armor +3

Masuko's weapon is a flail +1 with the Impact and Cursespewing special properties (as per MIC)

[Sierra]

Collective loot from Alruzia's guards include:

2x each of masterwork ranseur/rapier/buckler
4x mithril chain shirt

Alruzia carried the following:

+2 mithril breastplate
+2 mithril heavy shield
+2 heavy mace
Amulet of Natural Armor +2
Ring of Protection +2
Mother's Corset (20 minutes/day: grow eight spider legs to gain a climb speed of 30 ft and a +8 bonus on climb checks, always able to take 10 on climb checks while under this effect.

Alruzia's consort carried the following:

Masterwork hand crossbow
Mithril chain shirt
Ringe of Force Shield
Cloak of Resistance +2
Gloom Mask (3/day: gain ability to see in darkness for 5 rounds. Functions against all forms of magical darkness. 3/day: treat spell or spell-like ability with the shadow descriptor as if cast by Widen Magic feat.)

Alruzia also carried a signet ring with the emblem of a black spider on a field of red.

[Ebiris]

Julia takes the ring of protection +2 and offers up her ring of protection +1 to anyone who wants it.

[Sierra]

Rosey will take the breastplate, heavy shield, and heavy mace if no one else wants them. They're all an upgrade over her current gear.

Brenna will take one of the mithril shirts since there's plenty to go around. She can also use one of the rapiers (if Julia wants her pick back).

Rosey and Brenna both already have a Ring of Protection +1 or better, but Brenna can use the amulet if no one else cares about it. Speak up or forever hold your peace, etc.

Both of your allies refuse to touch the corset or the mask.

[Carthrat]

I guess I'll snap up the Ring of Force Shield if nobody else bites. Maybe that +2 AC will matter someday!

[Ebiris]

Julia will happily take her pick back.

[Corwin]

I'll get one of the mithril chain shirts, they look suitably local and I'm a failuredruid who doesn't care it's metal. I'd also get the cloak +2 and slap the wilding clasp on it.

Say, Cid, wouldn't Brenna be better with the hand crossbow despite whatever penalties for proficiency she takes?

[Corwin]

Cid, how much did the dao pay us for Isabel + info on Pheretima Kyriazis? The full 7,250gp, or just part of it due to the info they gave us back on the pair of slaves?

[Corwin]

Isabel's corpse bears the following enchanted items:

-Winter's Raiment: this fabulous dress bestows cold immunity upon the wearer, as well as a +2 enhancement bonus to diplomacy checks for all its noble finery. Additionally, the wearer may act as if perpetually under the effects of Feather Fall and Endure Elements.
-1x Ring of Protection +3
-1x Amulet of Natural Armor +3

Masuko's weapon is a flail +1 with the Impact and Cursespewing special properties (as per MIC)

Did we do anything with any of this?

[Ebiris]

Pretty sure someone nabbed the ring and amulet. Julia was thinking of getting the dress cleaned up for herself but hasn't done anything with it yet. No idea about the flail.

[Carthrat]

I nabbed the ring+amulet. Flail exists and has not been sold or anything.

[Sierra]

Say, Cid, wouldn't Brenna be better with the hand crossbow despite whatever penalties for proficiency she takes?

Non-proficiency penalty is -4. That's pretty harsh and her attack rolls would actually be slightly worse using it (13 STR, 19 DEX).

And 7,250 from the dao. Let me know how money gets split up whenever you get any so I can update Rosey's sheet accordingly.
