Cassius

The Elf helps Fahima gather items, moving towards the boots first. "You're right. We still have unfinished business."

He can't help but gather a few gems during the process, though. "That scroll seems appropriate. How many people would it protect?"

Fahima, with the help of Cassius, gather all of the magical items detected by Sai's spell. Here is what they pile up to the side:
- suit of platemail
- pair of soft gray leather boots
- a flail
- a mace
- a scrollcase
- three flasks: one has a blue liquid, one a green, and the third is clear

Sai picks up the hilt of a sword, still in its leather scabbard which is barely holding itself together.
Bronn grunts when Sai draws out the sword and says, "I wondered...why we ain't see hide nor hair of Collyn for a few days. Guess, now we know where he got to."

Cassius and Zan gather gems from the pile of coins, not seeing any gold or platinum among the trove.
But, there are plenty shiny gemstones:
- 10 pieces of black Hematite (10 gp each)
- a small leather bag containing 20 bloodstones (50 gp each)
- a small chest (about the size of a woman's jewelry box) with 20 rosy pearls (200 gp each)
- 10 pieces of uncut golden yellow topaz (500 gp each)
- set of aquamarine earrings and matching necklace (4000 gp value)
- a large leather bag of 5 deep purple Amethyst (1000 gp each)
- a small box with a golden ring set with a Star Sapphire gem (5000 gp value)

Thousands of silver and copper pieces. More than each of you can carry.

Roan sighs "Youngin's always wonder how ta take it all. Answer be simple. Ya ain't meant ta. Less yer a dragon er got a herd o' pack mules and carts in yer pants. Ya only take what ya need an leave tha rest." the wizened dwarf states. He grabs up the mace from the pile of detected magical items "This'll do well, shame ya didna find a helm er shield but it'll do nicely." he gives it a feel in his hands for the weight of the weapon he gives a few test swings with it and smiles. "S'pose now I can swing two of em at once." the dwarf gives a devilish grin.

The mace is extremely light...and it shouldn't be. Roan feels it will definitely give him an advantage in combat.
Ed, check your private thread. ;)

Cassius

He nods at Fahima. "Sounds good. I'm going to examine that plate."

Cassius puts the gem hoard in a sack from his pack. "We'll split these later."

“Boots of levitation, my young friend…if I remember correctly. They also belonged to the unfortunate Collyn,” muses Gormundel.

Roan grinning from ear to ear holding his new mace looks like he is deep in thought or maybe having a conversation in his mind, then he comes out of it "Mighty nice craftin in this weapon, can't wait ta put er ta use." he chuckles.

"Still pretty useful, but maybe someone else would prefer them since I already claimed this short sword."

The boots adhere to the Elf's feet like he's worn them his whole life. Zan knows if he concentrates, he will be able to levitate.

Sai

Draws the sword from the tattered leather sheath and gives it a few practice swings to get a feel for it.

Cassius

If he thinks the plate armor is wearable and nicer, he'll start the process of putting it on.

It's much lighter than his armor and yet seems more durable. ;)

While Cassius improves his armor, what are the rest of you doing?
Vilana will scoop up a handful of silver and copper and stuff it away in her backpack. She returns to the trove entrance to guard the backs of the group. If any of you picked up an item, please may sure to note it on your character sheet. If it's not on it when you leave the trove, you left it behind :)
Afterward, I'll need actions from everyone on moving out. Gormundel and Bronn will lead you deeper into the complex in search of Sakatha.

Zan

Zan will pick up some of what he considers PARTY treasure

- a small leather bag containing 20 bloodstones (50 gp each)
- a large leather bag of 5 deep purple Amethyst (1000 gp each)
- a small box with a golden ring set with a Star Sapphire gem (5000 gp value)

Recorded on character sheet as such.

I am assuming that Cassius picked up the other items the duo found, namely.

- 10 pieces of black Hematite (10 gp each)
- a small chest (about the size of a woman's jewelry box) with 20 rosy pearls (200 gp each)
- 10 pieces of uncut golden yellow topaz (500 gp each)
- set of aquamarine earrings and matching necklace (4000 gp value)

If Cassius does not want to carry the party treasure then Zan will.
