LOOT DISTRIBUTION - TULA'S CRYPT

Disputed Claims - most expensive to least
amulet of natural armor +2 (4,000 gp) <- Aka (10900 gp) v Willem (7241 gp) <- WILLEM
greater arrow of dragon slaying (2,028 gp) <- Aka (10900 gp) v Fenyx (4969 gp) <- FENYX

Undisputed Claims
slippers of spider climbing (2,400 gp) <- AKA
+1 lightened glamered mithral full plate (11,600 gp) [*max dex +7] <- AKA
Wyrmsmite (+2 dragonbane transformative [any melee weapon] longsword) - Wyrmsmite can also grant the dragonbane property to all allies within 30-feet for 10 rounds per day) (16,657 gp) <- AKA
5x +1 dragonbane arrows (83 gp each) <- AKA
Bracer's of Falcon's Aim (2,000 gp) <- AKA (Fenyx ceeded)
ring of lesser acid resistance (6,000 gp) <- AKA
+3 lightened breastplate of luck (13,925 gp; as banded mail of luck - except mithral breastplate which counts as light armor [for everything] and has a max dex of +9) <- WILLEM
ring of force shield (4,250 gp) <- WILLEM (Pasara ceeded)
5x +1 dragonbane arrows (83 gp each) <- FENYX
+1 keen adaptive composite longbow (4,700 gp) <- FENYX
maximize metamagic rod (27,000 gp) <- PASARA
Scholar's Ring (4,350 gp) <- PASARA (Aka choose to cede)

Unclaimed so far - these items can be used, claimed, but will otherwise be sold when the group has the opportunity to do so
mnemonic vestment (2,500 gp)

I'm tempted to claim the Mnemonic Vestment, but upon reading the description I'm not sure about what benefit it gives. It's kind of awkwardly described. But Pasara will take it if I can wrap my head around it.

Pasara only claimed the Ring of Force Shield in the event it was undisputed. Willem can make better use of it than she can. She cedes the Ring to Willem.

And Aka will be wearing the plate armor and Wyrmsmite, but if Sigrit &/or Bakuu are able to make it for the final battle, she is holding each for them, respectively.

I'm tempted to claim the Mnemonic Vestment, but upon reading the description I'm not sure about what benefit it gives. It's kind of awkwardly described. But Pasara will take it if I can wrap my head around it.

The easy explanation - if you have a scroll of a spell that is on your classes possible list (ie any consumable that you wouldn't have to roll Use Magic Device for) you can use one of your spell slots to cast the spell without consuming the scroll.

Effectively it adds spells to your spells known. (... well once per day)

For everyone else, please re-check the DISTRIBUTION. It was edited due to following discussion and posts. :)

Woot! Thanks Fenyx. :)

Aka NP. After discussing details of the wizard arcane focus I decided and figured out that I in fact can use the bow.
For tactical reasons, I choose to contest the dragon slaying arrow.

Likewise np. and if you want the other 5 dragonsbane arrows as well, just ask during game. I decided to go for 5 just in case I ended up giving away Wyrmsmite and then it's Dragonsbane ability was not able to be activated for whatever reason.
You can contest a claim for any reason and it just comes down to claim totals. Which means, Aka would now lose to anybody. xp

Aka's natural luck on the arrows to hit is better than Fenyx's....
So spreading the dragonbane arrows around isn't a bad idea.

Pasara only claimed the Ring of Force Shield in the event it was undisputed. Willem can make better use of it than she can. She cedes the Ring to Willem.

Thank you! Willem's AC is truly ridiculous now, but considering he's about to provoke all the attacks of opportunity from a dragon, he'll need it.

In that case, Pasara claims it. And probably wants to go back to town to buy scrolls.

Willem's tendency to provoke Attacks of Opportunity went into my calculus. He definitely needs it more. And there's no such thing as "too much AC".

LOOT DISTRIBUTION - TULA'S CRYPT P2

mnemonic vestment (2,500 gp) <- PASARA

I think the party could use the Barkskin, Air Walk, and Protection from Energy and carry around the Goodberries immediately if the druid is not going to be traveling with us. I would assume we will want Protection from Energy:acid, probably starting the next day. I'm just hazzarding a guess we will be going after the dragon itself after resting. Is he able to receive communal or mass versions of the spells previously mentioned?

I think we should clear out the monastery, then approach through the tunnel rather than just skipping ahead.

As for the druid, assuming he's done whining, Willem won't mind him coming along.

after a quick search of the prd on my phone, it looks like there is a Protection from Energy-Communal that he would qualify for (for the next day), communal Air Walk would be too high level. I did not see any communal Barkskin, so my guess for the next day would be Communal PfE (acid), and as many Air Walks and Barkskins as he can give us with the rest kept in healing?

As for the druid, assuming he's done whining, Willem won't mind him coming along.

I agree, I think. Assuming you mean before going after the dragon. I've been thinking if we are in the shadow of the belfry (I will review game thread), then go after potion maker first, followed by the other two/rest. Then dragon either later in same or next day?

Regarding druid. Aka would want him along, at least for the monastery. I think he's willing to follow along "in the background", so to speak. Not sure about later assault on dragon.

Okay, after rereading game thread and looking over map, I think we are in the far corner away from belfry, so I guess the main part of the monastery first, then?

I vote yes to all of it. I should have enough ammo to carry me through.

Im down.

I think the druid should have cast at least the Barkskin and the Air Walk, (and someone should be carrying the GoodBerries) who should they have been cast on?
My vote for Air Walk would be on Willem.
I think the Barkskin could be cast on anybody that doesn't already have a natural armor bonus. I think Aka's AC is second only to Willem's. Please respond back on this one with your input.

Btw Fenyx, hope you had a great day today.

Pasara's may not be as good as the druid's, but she does have Resist Energy now. So she can anti-acidize people as necessary.

Awww... taking away all the dragon's fun :)

For the assault on the dragon:
-at least one Barkskin (for Aka)
-at least one Air Walk (for Willem)
-Freedom of Movement?
-others?

Makes sense to me.

Aka has barkskin for 80 min following meeting Azmur. Willem has air walk for 80 min following meeting Azmur.

LOOT POST - KANMJOUGAS

decanter of endless alcohol (4,500 gp)

oh god claim ... wait a minute ... *shakes head*

Farmer was dreaming about something. Something wonderful.

No claims.

LOOT POST - KANMJOUGAS

belt of incredible dexterity +2 (2,000 gp)

Claim. .. Assuming no one else wants it for some reason

Pasara could use the Belt of Incredibly Dexterity. Good for her AC and also make her more likely to hit with her Scorching Ray.

I'm not sure if that makes more sense than Aka getting better To Hit with her bow.

But anyhow, Pasara will also claim the Belt.

belt of incredible dexterity +2 (2,000 gp)

Claim.

Pasara could use the Belt of Incredibly Dexterity. Good for her AC and also make her more likely to hit with her Scorching Ray.

Oh yeah, ranged touch attack. Didn't think of that. Oh well. Still no claims, I think.

LOOT DISTRIBURION - KANMJOUGAS

belt of incredible dexterity +2 (2,000 gp) <- Aka (withdrew) v Willem (29416) v Pasara (33888) <- WILLWM

Currently Unclaimed
amulet of might fists +1 (2,000 gp)

Fenyx will claim amulet for now.

For the next few weeks, I expect I'll be able to be more active online.

I really hope others will be able to as well :)

I hope you all enjoyed the horrific glimpse into Farmer-Style Sexy Diplomacy.

I always figured that Farmer-Style anything had to include gravy.

Create Water + Enhance Water = Farmer makes his own gravy.

Pasara's player just failed his fortitude save, and will henceforth be rolling in agony in his cubicle due to the horrific glimpse afforded him.

Cue the slap bass.

I hope you all enjoyed the horrific glimpse into Farmer-Style Sexy Diplomacy.

Aka will likely leave that all to him.

I will remind you all that farmer is now immune to fatigue.

Awesome.

"...to end this thing with a bang, not a whimper" is how Farmer doesn't finish the sentence.

Farmer is the wrong character to make a comment about failing to reject the null hypothesis at this point.
