PRICE 4,399 GP
SLOT shield CL 3rd WEIGHT 6 lbs.
AURA faint conjuration
This +1 light steel shield is fashioned in the shape of a scarab beetle—a creature that functions as a psychopomp for Pharasma,
guiding the souls of the departed into the afterlife. Scarab shields are especially favored by archaeologists and tomb raiders for the protection they grant against guardians and vermin frequently found in ancient ruins and forgotten tombs.
Once per day on command, a scarab shield grants its wielder a +2 sacred bonus on saving throws against fear and death effects for 3 minutes. At any time while this bonus is in effect, the wielder can end the effect as a swift action for a burst of healing energy. The wielder loses the saving throw bonus, but is healed of 1d8+3 points of damage. In addition, a scarab shield can protect its wielder from swarms. If a mindless swarm attempts to enter the wielder’s space, the swarm must attempt a DC 11 Will save. If the save succeeds, the swarm can enter the wielder’s space and attack the wielder normally. If the save fails, the swarm instinctively avoids the space occupied by the wielder, completely ignoring the wielder for 3 rounds. This effect ends if the wielder makes any attacks, but the wielder may use non-attack spells or otherwise act without ending the effect. This ability functions once per day.

Anakh-Ka, the Ruby Ouroboros |
100 gp taken from group loot to pay for Masterwork Thieves Tools.
Opening the chest: T20 on Disable Device (with guidance, after taking armor off) gives a total of 31.
GM Lithrac |
The chest is beautiful, and if undamaged, is worth 200 gp as an art piece (including the trap, which can be reset). The chest contains two potions of cure light wounds and one potion of darkvision. Also inside the chest are two books with thin, gold-plated metal sheets for pages. The first is a brief biography of Akhentepi, and the second is a list and description of the various military campaigns conducted by the nation of Osirion between 2350 and 2450 ar. Each book weighs 25 pounds and is worth 300 gp.
Assuming you'll sell the chest, the potion of darkvision and the texts, your total is now 1673 gp, 47 sp.
Khal-Ib, the Sapphire Ouroboros |

Slight change from plans. While you were able to sell many lesser items and masterwork weapons, you couldn't find a buyer for the more expensive items (see Gameplay thread).
For now we'll assume that you were able to enchant Severance any buy the Eyes of the Eagle, but that you haven't bought the Scarabs and the Boots of the Earth yet. Leave them on your character sheets, it's just a temporary thing.
