I am assuming that Irving and Florian are picking based on a dice roll at this point, or are you simply picking the most boring magical items for them to create havoc for us :) ?
Dandelion - female half-orc beautyqueen in training (The Lone City in the Wildlands) OSRIC
Halfpint - female halfling badgirl wannabe (Lab Lord- The North Marches) LL
Mark'd - charismatic human fighter (Lab Lord- The North Marches) LL

Knowing he will want the backing of the arch Bishop for a knighting, Bremen picks a suitablebribe gift. The lifts the massive tome bound in leather with a golden latch, "The Life-work of Cafreya the All-Seeing." While awaiting his next turn, he thumbs through a few pages to see if he understands it at all.

Figuring the Cardinal thought it was special, Bandy selects the box containing the short obsidian wand with an adamantine handle affixed to the end.

Florian is picking clerical scrolls; for Irving, I'm trying to pick things he'll want when Keehnelf returns.

Bremen inspects the book; he is surprised to find that it is intelligible when he does so. It is highly esoteric matters for those of the faith, however, and he finds that many of the concepts are beyond him and likely of interest only to a Cleric.

Florian chooses two more clerical scroll. Irving contemplates the two Warding scrolls, as the least confusing of the remaining items, but then sets them aside as he is having trouble reading them. Avoiding the written items, he eventually chooses the "royal scepter studded with gems" and "onyx carving of a wolf sniffing the ground."

Eight items left: Bandy, Bremen, Markd, Markd, Bremen, Bandy, Florian, Irving.

Magic items.

- Golden dagger of Healing (Markd) "Golden Blade of Baudhon." Unestimable. Imbued (divine). +1 bonus.
- Warhammer of Baudh (Bremen) 16,001xp. Imbued. +2, +3 vs undead.
- Florian's flail (Florian) "Flail of Gundrat the Luminescent." 64,000xp. Imbued. +2 bonus.
- iron-banded quarterstaff, worn from heavy use (Markd) "Cathalon's Staff." 128,001xp. Imbued. +3 bonus.
- Cention Scimitar 4,001xp. Imbued. +1 bonus.
- Cention whip (Irving)4,001xp. Imbued. No bonus.
- cat-hilted dagger (Bandy) Unestimable. Created.

All Scrolls: Inestimable. Created.
- Scroll - Ward vs Magic
- Scroll - Ward vs Undead
- Scroll (Florian) - Clerical: Striking (3rd), True Seeing (5th)
- Scroll (Florian) - Clerical: Hold Person (2nd)
- Scroll (Florian) - Clerical: Holy Word (7th), Wind Walk (7th), Cure Serious Wounds (4th), Bless (2nd), Purify Food and Drink (1st)
- Scroll - Clerical: Detect Evil (1st), Commune (5th), Quest (5th)

OOC: Bandy's only preference on jewelry would be the adamantium arm band. Otherwise, he doesn't care.

There's an Electrum armband and an adamantium bracelet...

My thought is to give Irving 2100 in D'art stuff and 49 gp like Florian.
Then each of the 3 of us take between 12-1300 gp worth of artwork and ~ 1000gp in liquid gems/gold...

Yes.

(Sorry. Adamantium bracelet please. But if both are available, he'd prefer both of them as his objects d'art. Maybe that would make up for Bandy getting a cursed item and nobody offering him a second choice to make up for it... :cry: )

Not sure how to handle the cursed items now... since some of the other stuff may be as well. ??? thoughts?
Here is what I came up with regarding the non-magical loot. We can certainly change it as needed.

Florian- skull, justice scales, 49 gp (what the DM wants, he gets :) )
Irving- 2200 in art (900 plat ring set, 1300 sceptor) and 49 gp
Bandy - 500 bracelet, 800 spiral horn---750 pearl and 199 gp
Bremen - 600 armband, 700 breastplate, 10 copper circlet--- 50/75/100 gems and 714 gp
Markd - 800 hounds, 400 horse--- 1000 moonstone, 49 gp

That was as "even" as I could get the long-term investments vs the short term liquid items... That is assuming the jewelry sells at face value... need to check.
But, if people dont care as much about that, we can move some of the items around to equalize the gp itself

That works for Bandy. The spiral horn is cool, too.

No, not really sure what to do about cursed item. He won't know it is truly cursed until he tries to use it in combat, anyway.

Irving's preference was for the "700gp - a bronze and silver breastplate, adorned with a Diamond." I'll say he agrees to the ring and scepter, too, though.

HEY. GUYS. Why don't you finish the magic item allocations before changing topics??

I was out in the field all day. Spotty reception and limited time to post.

I haven't thought much about noon magical stuff. Just make sure there is something that would impress the Duke. Bremen has important people to bribe!!! Also, hell prefer more objects d'art than coin, I think.

One question: if Bremen can read laughed now, can he use scrolls?


Bremen sets the tome aside carefully. He then picks up the breathtaking ruby necklace string with fillagreed gold chain and tries it on.

Markd goes ahead and grabs the other best selling novel about the Yoldessi Plains.

and with his final grab of the magic, knowing what he saw in the tower should not be left to others, he grabs the cube of damnation.

No.

This ability does not include magical writings.

Bremen tries on the necklace; he smiles. It looks darn good. Then it constricts around his neck - his face turns purple, he is unable to speak or breathe. It is cutting painfully into his flesh.(-6hp)

This is something I wanted to ask before... Where are we doing this? Surely not on the street. I sort of figured we were in the temple, because of all the artifacts, the Sun and Florian.

Can he make a strength check? Can someone get a cleric to remove the cursed item?


Bremen reached for Florian, grabbing his sleeve. Ghhaah! is all he can get out. Bremen points to the scrolls. No. The scroll that wards against magic. Why in hells are they not removing the curse!?!? he thinks.

Finally, he claws at the necklace, trying to get his poison-affected fingers between the necklace and his skin in an attempt to break the clasp.

This divvying has to happen after your return. I assumed you were doing it during your overnight in the guest lodging at Frogmorton Ford and that you'd be taking the sun directly to the temple when you arrived in town.
(Casting lots in the vestibule of the Chapel would be frowned upon.)

I was thinking more of a private room. :lol: But that sounds fair. Can Bremen or someone make a strength check against this necklace? Or will Florian use the protection from magic scroll? Are there other options? After surviving hippogryfs, undead, centions, traps, etc, etc, it'd be ridiculous to die now! :lol:
