My advice is to split it as you like and gear up a little more. Looking over the adventure -- you're on a desert island, not a lot of opportunites to get new gear, and some of what you find won't be tailored to you. Equipment might be tough.
Lecian, particularly, might want to think about his next level of spells. If we do it now, we can retcon his looting of spell components at the magic shop to include a couple nice things for spells he's working on mastering now, but doesn't have down yet. The spellbooks are mainly an in-game rationalization of spell research for him, but they may be trouble too.
Well, as far as spells are concerned, I imagine that Lecian should be sitting fairly pretty - he did just get three new spellbooks, after all :-)
As far as tracking loot is concerned, I have set-up a Google docs Spreadsheet, the link for which is 'spoilered' on Tyrrol's page.
What I am most interested in doing is paying the 2000gp necessary to upgrade Tyrrol's Flail to +1. Assuming that I am allowed to so, does anyone want to purchase a Wand of Magic Weapon with 5 charges? I will sell it for 50gp, which is 25gp less than it would cost on the open market ;-)
Also, how do people feel about trying to 'pawn' the ring?
Splitting and gearing up sounds like a good idea.
Pawning the ring is cool with me.
OK.
Regarding spells, just saying I wouldn't want Lecian to be unprepared should he learn fireball in a level or too and realize that he's got no components. The adventure might turn into the great bat guano and sulphur search.
Well, we are unable to work-out exactly what it does, other than that it *might* be slightly faulty... For all we know, it could have some sort of tracking-magic involved in it...
Is the 1920gp, that Tyrrol worked out, going to be the "official" split? Just want to be sure.

Wow. That's pretty paranoid. Maybe in a campaign I'd try something like that. The ring will bring only 2400 gp. The buyer would like to know better what it does too, but he's willing to take a chance.
Well, Tyrrol *does* follow the teachings of the Lord of End Times - he has a tendency to expect the worst, especially when something is surrounded by uncertainty ;-)
You can pull in another 2400 for the ring. The buyer "is taking a gamble."
So that would be 2320g for everyone, correct?
No, it is 2400 for everyone; we each gain an extra 480gp...
(I have been dividing by 5, rather than 6, because we appear to have lost our Druid... If we still include Wilam in the split, then we each gain a total of 2000gp.)
Lecian won't be able to use Animate Dead for several levels, so I think that should be sold along with all of the onyx.
Oh, I see. I was thinking it was by six. Wow, didn't realize we lost Wilam.
So do we wait to see if he's around or are we gonna go with the divide by 5 bit?
It'll be more now, since we are selling the scroll and the onyx now.
@Lecian: Animate Dead is 3rd level, just like Halt Undead and Heroism; are you sure you don't want to keep it, since you are keeping the others...?
@Javell: The last time Wilam posted was three weeks ago...
Daaang! Okay, looks like it's gonna be by 5 then. :P
SD DM: When you say "purchases", what are we talking about here exactly?
Wilam should stay in the split. He helped earn it. We'll give him another day or two, then I'll write him out if he doesn't show up.

Has Paizo changed the spell from 4th-level to 3rd-level?
Muleback Cords
Aura faint transmutation; CL 3rd
Slot shoulders; Price 1,000 gp; Weight 1/4 lb.
Description
These thick leather cords wrap around the wearer’s biceps and shoulders; when worn, they make the muscles appear larger than normal. The wearer treats his Strength score as 8 higher than normal when determining his carrying capacity (see Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook page 171). This bonus does not apply to combat, breaking items, or any other Strengthrelated rolls except the amount of equipment or material the wearer can carry.
Construction
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, bull’s strength; Cost 500 gp
This is out of the APG. Is this item possible?
Probably gonna use the rest(or most, depending on whether or not this item is buyable) to buy heal potions and arrows. Don't really know what else to use it for.
I'm good for suggestions, though! :)
@Lecian: Animate Dead is a 3rd level cleric; 4th level wizard/sorcerer spell. (In case you don't already know.)
That's what I thought. Lecian's a wizard and won't be able to use the scroll until 7th level, so that should be sold along with all of the onyx.
I never run wizards, so, I was wondering, is it not possible to cast a spell from a scroll even if you're not high enough level to actually cast it?

OK.

Yes, but there is a risk of failure or worse.
I was not aware scrolls could be used to cast spells that were otherwise too high a level to cast.
On further thought, I'd still rather sell it and the gems. I think that ends up an extra 600 gold to split among the party.
Correct, which means that we each gain a total of 2100gp.

If magic items are on the list, Mordecai will go for;
+1 armor bonus to his mithril shirt. [1000 gp]
+1 armor bonus to his darkwood shield. [1000 gp]
If it wasn't for the 1500 gp material component extra cost, I'd try to get a scroll of limited wish for 2275 gp to get a chance to reroll those last two 1 hp rolls for HD...
2262.8 gp

amulet of natural armor +1, 2000 gp

20 bolts, 2 gp

7.8 gp left over
Glad to see you stocking up on disposable cures. Now I won't feel bad about wasting Mordecai. MWAHAHHAHA!
Seriously. Work yesterday and today.
I have a general question, maybe you guys can answer it for me.
Is it possible to create Inflict Light Wounds potions?
I ask this, because, I'm playing this Dhampir paladin in another thread. I've never heard(or even gave it any thought)of any reason for such an item to be made. I don't know of any creatures that would actually need such an item. At least not one that lives and breathes. (And undead don't "drink" so that's why I'm curious.)
I don't see why it couldn't be done. I'll bet Set can think of some good uses for one.
lol!
Yeah, Set could jump all over an item like this, couldn't he. :)

Mordecai has the ability to temporarily give someone the ability to heal from negative energy as well, so he'd be able to use potions of inflict light wounds as curing potions, a few times a day. :)
Perish the thought of using such a thing to hurt a living person, 'though.
Smothering them with a pillow is much cheaper.
That's pretty cool. How are you able to manage that? Is it one of those subdomain type things?

Smothing someone with a pillow? Naw, I think I learned that watching Dynasty...
Oh, the other thing!
Death (sub-domain Undead, Death's Kiss, cause a creature to count as undead for negative / positive energy interactions for rounds equal to 1/2 cleric level, 5/day

Man, I just knew you were gonna go there! (That is pretty funny, though!)
Curious though, was it Dynasty? Or Knot's Landing? Be honest now! :)
Noticing Mordecai step away from the railing as far as he can, "Mordecai? Not you too. C'mon fellas, it's just water. Look, the worst that could happen, is you could drown." He says as a matter of fact, then throws his next line in for good measure, "Orrr, get eaten by something before you drown. Huhhhh? That's gotta be better than drowning, I'd say." He says confidently.
Never ask "What's the worst that could happen?" in an adventure. The DM usually feels compelled to demonstrate. Now if you all get swallowed by a kraken, everyone will blame Lothan. ;)
clobbered by work. maybe saturday.

He was safe-- this time. I fooled around long enough and just want to get them on the island so we can start the adventure proper.
For the record, I am rather enjoying the interactions between dour, fatalistic Tyrrol and Lothan :-)

I'll second that! I'm having a pretty good time between those two myself! :)
I'll echo Jelloarm as well, this is a good party.
I like the names Kuva has for the races, "Rock-digger", "Tall-folk". I(meaning me) got a kick out of the dwarf name. That's why I threw it in there for Lothan. (There was a barbarian halfling in our RL group that called them "Twice-talls".) :P
Aside: Sorry about the lack of posting yesterday. Internet went down on me(an ATT issue) and didn't return until this morning.
Tyrrol shakes his head imperceptibly at Lothan, but otherwise, refrains from commenting on Lothan's disturbing continued cheerfulness.
I just died on this one! :D
Lecian daydreams about scantily clad waitresses costumed as succubi.
Rolling on this one too! :D
Work's smacking me about a bit. Another old hand is deserting. May be slow posting .
Should be posting again tonight.
