UNDISTRIBUTED, we'll sell/split this in Raintree:
1090gp (I think the captain's 200 gp is in this pool? I didn't take out my 33.33, at least)
black onyx gem
blue gem (sapphire)
masterwork breastplate
masterwork light mace (or let Raia or Sigma hang onto it for DR/bludgeoning? It is good to be prepared)
+1 longsword
UNIDENTIFIED:
Captain's ring
And Erwin's stuff.650g, three yellow polished gems (looks like yellow topaz worth about 100 each, but doublecheck this in town)
MWK Padded Armor
MWK Light Wooden Shield
+1 Shadow Chain Shirt (+5 to hide)
MWK Light Flail
MWK Bastard Sword
+1 Shock Greataxe
MWK Silver Dagger
Ring of Animal Friendship

Scroll of Longstrider
Scroll of Bear's Endurance
Wand of Fox's Cunning, 19 Charges
Wand of Web, 30 charges
Horn of Goodness
Elixir of Love
Andrius should probably have first crack to get himself equipped, we can retroactively say what we found from there. I...can't find what paladins start with, but yeah, none of the classes start with much.As I move my vote

Well I'd like the trollbane sword or the shock greataxe............
I'm thinking the chain shirt goes on fiona (she has the strength for it, and it's +1 defense as well)
The wand of foxing cunning can only be used by fiona in our party so she gets that too
Not sure on any of the scrolls right now, cat's grace is dex though so fiona will hold that as well
The MWK silver dagger we should keep and achan can have it as a backup or something- Andrius

One of my concerns was that Jason literally does all the talking, but given I'd probably be speechless if/when I meet my dead brother in a heaven scenario, then Erwin would be as well.
Growlithe seemed more like a cuddler than Houndour, and Houndour never met Ayarte.

I was arguing for leaving behind the sword before, but the veteran group makes a compelling argument for taking it:
If we leave it, it'll almost certainly be gone by the time we come back for it. It's metagaming, but it's not like it'll just have vanished into thin air--it'll be gone because someone took it. Whose hands do you think it'll wind up in?
I think we should very seriously try to figure out how to get more healing in Raintree.As I move my vote

Yeah, if you didn't have Scribe Scroll I'd write this off as a suicide mission and say we still needed to leave it anyway. But even with that...assuming we rest in the sanctuary before heading to Raintree (which FakeGod is assuming we'll do, although I'm not sure how we deal with the ghoul fever issue), that's 40 scrolls produced in a day. The wand had 50 charges and we used every single one. We are now about to face stronger monsters that can do more damage, and we are underleveled to boot.
Scribe Scroll is huge. But on its own, it's still not quite enough, not without more downtime than we're going to get.As I move my vote

Another thing to do if we take the artifact:
There's only a 1/20 chance of any given item we want being in the Raintree market if we let the troll surge keep going. We have lots of loot burning a hole in our pocket, but most of it isn't really useful to us. We should each make a shopping list covering everything up to 4000gp that we could possibly want, because only a tiny fraction of it will be available to us. (If you want help with that shopping list, I can do my best.)
It's an awkward situation because I have no idea how much money we actually have. So much of it is wrapped up in loot, which makes it hard to split.
Anyway, as a sample, here's what I'm thinking with Rose. A lot of these would be really great in bulk, too. Quantity over quality; I'm still brainstorming:
I think the masterwork tools might be available anyway? I'm not sure, this might be a magicmart-specific restriction.mithril buckler
+1 mithril buckler
headband of intellect +2
+1 mithril chain shirt (or someone willing to enchant mine)
cloak of resistance +1
cloak of resistance +2
amulet of health +2
+2 masterwork search item
+3 magical item of search
+4 magical item of search
+5 magical item of search
+6 magical item of search

+2 masterwork knowledge arcana item

I get the opinion this group is becoming less RP and too mechanical for my tastes.

I've been theory crafting another character to bring in if I were to die
I made it level 4 because I'm cocky but not too cocky
It is currently planned at Barbarian 1/Human Paragon 3 with plans to go for fighter for the rest
As for the character design, I know that they will dislike arcane spellcasters and be cocky and probably some form of chaotic (real chaotic, not Rose chaotic)
Please look forward to it (because I'm cocky but not too cocky)

Sorry if I got your hopes up (though you can still get it if you want, I don't think it's hp or ac are too good either unfortunately)

Here are the bears I'm looking at for druids:
Black (level 4): http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/bearBlack.htm
Brown (level 7): http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/bearBrown.htm
Keep in mind the brown bear would be -6 levels and I'm not quite sure what that means. Also it's quite off in the distance. I think it's what you'd be thinking of for a bear though- Dunnstral

Note that you don't have to get a new companion, necessarily.In post 691, Firebringer wrote:I am getting us a bear then!
Should you keep your riding dog, it's going to be stronger than its listed entry. (extra 13 hp, extra +3 to hit, extra +3 AC, extra +1 to damage, extra +1 to Fort and Will saves, extra +2 to Ref saves)My favorite site mod is Zor Tester.

Okay...it looks like scrolls can have multiple spells on them, but since you're expending the spells as you scribe them, we still can't produce 40 CLW spells in a day. Raia only has 7 spell slots.
So a CL3 scroll Raia spent 375 gp on would produce about 66 hp total, from four CL3 Cure Lights and three CL3 Cure Moderates. (Or 70 hp for 450 gp if we pulled out all the stops and threw on Cure Minor Wounds too. A scroll needs one constant CL regardless of how many spells are on it, and casting orisons at CL3 is shaky.) A CL1 scroll would be 87.5 gp for 38.5 hp of healing.
A CLW wand like the one we burned through has 275 hp in it, so yeah, this isn't a solution.
Firebringer, is there any way I talk you into going leopard? I can go with mechanical arguments, but I could also just post a bunch of leopard pics, because leopards are in fact way cooler than dinosaurs.As I move my vote
