Out Of Character

[ehiker133]

Alrighty you heard the DM we need to split the stuff.

If Guntrum gets 1/2 share as NPC the other half we already calculated could be sent to Rufus family. No need to recalculate anything. If our new friend wants no coins lets buy him some foodstuffs and maybe fix up his equipment before we set off. Use the 5gp 4cp as a slush fund for these things...

Fair?

I think Ulric's detect magic is key to deal with before we can actually figure out what's up for grabs....

Agreed. Let's divide quickly, though. Desmond is itchy to level.

Josiane has dibs on Hoot!

(Or perhaps that should be Hoot appears to have dibs on Josiane...)

[danhem]

Ulric is obviously salivating over the Queerious Speculem.

[Olroda]

Beringar could accept some coin as an advance on future earnings, if he wanted to.

Very well. It isn't that he doesn't want the money, it is that he feels he hasn't earned it. ...But, I'm guessing he could be talked into accepting it, eventually. In which case, he'll be very thankful.

Okay, thus far I have it that each PC will be pocketing 8 gp, 17 sp, 10 cp (and 67 XP), which is hardly a "magnificent" sum for your toils.

Josiane wishes to take stewardship of Hoot the Owl (or vis versa).

Desmond is taking stewardship of Rufus' loot and goodies (to return to his kin, of course!)

Gustave and Dorgan seem to be taking care of Rufus' store of pipeweed, however.

Ulric has drooled on the Queerious Speculem, and who is seriously going to try to prize it from his clutches?

Desmond says he'll take care of the carpenter's cup, thou Mondes scathes him as a fool for it don't look like much to write home about.

The stave and tome are only useful to Josiane or the Sisters of Mercy, so it seems obvious she should handle them.
The research papers could be used by Josiane or possibly Highbough..?

Who is partial to the four bottles of acid?

Is anyone of faithful disposition (i.e. lawfully aligned) eager to take the rosary beads?

Do you want to sell off the remainder cheaply here (for 20sp), or hang onto it for a potentially better price in Ket (if it still stands)?

Do you want to attempt to sell any items to the Elves to boost your cash position?

Moreover, a few people are lacking armor and shields (Josiane and Olaf both lost their armour, if memory serves... and a few shields and helms have been smashed along the way).

So what exactly is meant by "loot and goodies"? Not every possession he owns, surely? Desmond can't walk around carrying all of the stuff that Rufus had in his inventory.

How about Desmond holds on to:
1gp 16 sp 4cp
silver arrow
Boon - Footlong pipe, empty leather pouch, and compact "tinder box"

(No idea where all of the pipeweed went...)

The rest of the gear is just common items that the rest of the party should have a chance to divvy up if according to need...

-Hand Axe
-Dagger x2
- Armour Leather (light) AC -2
-Shield, small
-Shortbow
-Quiver, with 12 arrows
-Beanine
-Belt, with buckle
-Boots, ankle (waxed)
-Socks x2
-Cloak (waxed)
-Bedroll
-Backpack
-Rations, trail, 1 week
-Water skin
-Locksmith's Tools
-Oil, lantern, 1 flask
-Sack (empty)
-Pouch, shoulder
-Pouch, belt
-Iron spikes, x4
-Torches, x6
-Tinderbox
-Whetstone
-Grappling hook
-Rope, hemp, 60ft
-knuckle bone

The lantern, oil, torches, sack, and tinderbox could be very useful to the general party. Anything else should be up for grabs.

I think Desmond currently uses a sling, just for convenience. Aside from distance, I don't know if there is much advantage to having a bow. The bowstring and arrows could certainly be useful to someone like Olaf, though.

Wen has one of the bottles of Acid already and Armando several of the others, I'd just assume leave them like that. Wen would take charge of the beads with the understanding that if the Sisters want them back he'd release them. I'll post in thread...

I thought Desmond had found the vials of acid and passed around all but the second strongest one, so he should have one of them, as well.

If Olaf doesn't want them, Torben would take the quiver and shortbow. The clothes don't seem like they would fit anybody beyond another Hobbit.

Looks fair to me.
