But what you're saying is that whoever gets the necklace gets 7k xp?

Yes.

Oh, bother.

Well... Who could benefit most from that XP boost? Desmond is fine with not taking it. Let's try and put it where it will do the most good.

How do people feel about magic item distribution as it relates to XP distribution? Take a magic item and don't get a share of XP up to X amount (where "X" is the value of the magic item or some arbitrary number)? Magic distribution is separate from XP distribution, so all active members get a chance at equal amount of XP and them magic items go to people who can use them most or people dice for them?

Once we determine that, I can try and work up eleven (or ten?) shares of loot distribution.

I assume under normal circumstances, i.e. a town, we would sell the necklace and divide normally. The problem is we are not anywhere we can cash it in so whoever gains the necklace gets the whole hog of xp.

Josiane doesn't think in these terms. If there's a magical item she can use that will benefit the party, she'll happily use it.

But any XP gain from such she'll want to share equally between the company if possible.

At this rate [RIP Dorgan] the treasure shares will keep increasing...

Helmut (assuming he survives the next day or so) is in any case after no loot (except perhaps any spare coins for food and basics). As a noobie he has no claim and as a templar he has no interest - though he would not turn away a haul later on if it could help the cause.

Magic items do not come with XP, so the question is, will Josiane sacrifice receiving XP in lieu of receiving a magic item that she can use to the benefit of the party? Or would Josiane be interested in receiving an equal share of Treasure (XP) and handle magic item division separately?

I think the main reason why we generally like to include new players in loot division like this is because they can survive longer the faster we get them to a higher level. So really it benefits the whole party to do that.

I think Josiane has three options:

1. The theraic staff; can somebody remind me of where/if the command words were learned?
2. Slow poison spell from memory; can someone remind me of where/if it was memorised this day?
3. Slow poison spell from her spellbook (which would consume it).

The command words were learned at the Elven camp, I believe. Possibly even from Gallaine?

If spell memorization was indicated after the last full rest, it would be when we slept in the Reliquary. I don't recall for sure that it was indicated, though. That was when Doc was moving and posting less frequently. If we then go by the previous night's rest, that would also be at the Elven camp.

Might be easiest to just search Doc's posts (via his user ID) to find those specific transactions.

Here is when Josiane last woke from full rest. No mention of spells memorized.

Do we then assume the previous day's memorized spells are resumed? I shall search for the previous rest...

[ehiker133]

Here is the last place I can find her indication of memorized spells...

Josiane will endeavour to ignore the griping cramps that twist at her stomach and commit The Succor of Anathema Demurred and The Supplication of Medicant Requite to memory.

The command words were found here:

Further invocations of The Effable Apperception by our magical types resolve the hidden magical runes that will command these artifacts to function... and so it is ultimately learned that:

...The gnarled staff is one of three Theraic Staves; it has the power to lift diseases and curses...
