I updated the loot sheet if someone wants to go through and just put the prices of everything in then you can talk about splitting things up and selling the rest.
Details on the SIHEDRON MEDALLION
SLOT neck
PRICE 3,500 GP
AURA faint necromancy CL 5th
WEIGHT —
This medallion hangs on a leather cord, a silver disc inscribed with the Sihedron. These medallions were given to favored agents of the runelords; the medallions granted some minor benefits to the wearers. While worn, a Sihedron medallion grants its wearer a +1 resistance bonus on all saving throws. Once per day, as a free action, it may be commanded to bestow the effects of false life on the wearer. Placed on the neck of a dead body, a Sihedron medallion preserves the body indefinitely via a gentle repose effect.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 1,750 GP
Craft Wondrous Item, false life, gentle repose, resistance
Ooh that's nice! I think somebody who goes into melee who wouldn't otherwise be able to cast false life should wear that! Matthias could learn and start casting false life all the time the old-fashioned way if he wanted it badly enough.
I marked a couple things as mine on the loot sheet. I figure some of the minor useful wands and scrolls on the arcane list will help my flexibility some. And I took a couple potions of CMW.
Claimed the small +1 leather, an everburning torch and if no one else wants it I will grab the other cloak of resistance just so it doesn't go to waste.
I agree with Matt that the Sihedron necklace would probably be best for one of the melee's if one of them wants it, but I'm ok if we just sell it as well.
Looks like Shae claimed stuff already so just if Hollie wants anything and then we can go ahead and sell the rest.
I’m good. I have some plans with the gold rather than take the amulet.
The Sihedron medallion is very cool (and as a 5th caster level item, that false life casting is pretty good: 1d10+5 temp hp), but I have a feeling I would forget to use false life at the right time if I was wearing it. I'd also go way into debt on my share if I took that on top of my plate armor and ring of protection. I definitely prefer its value gets split up rather than I take it, but I'm not at all opposed to anyone else grabbing it (keep in mind you'd no longer need a cloak of resistance if you took it).
If we're ready to sell it and everything else, that's fine by me.
Bereket or Shae should definitely take the medallion. False life will last 5 hours (hr/level) for you so you can just do it at the beginning of the adventuring day and assume it lasts the whole time, most adventuring days. Really it would only be an issue if we explored at one place then traveled to another.
I agree with the above.
Hmm, that's a good point. Well, my AC is best in the party now that I have that full plate, and I also have the highest hp total, so I think Shae should take it.
Plus, I'm already wearing a gold holy symbol of Sarenrae, adding the Sihedron medallion would just be too much bling. ;-)
If Shae takes it, then we have a cloak of resistance +1 back up for grabs.
Everyone else should take a cloak before Hollie takes one. Her saves are the best in the party by default. Currently at +10/8/9.
OK, switching out magic cloak for the Sihedron amulet.
Matthias, would you like that cloak of resistance (row 38 in the loot sheet)? You have plenty of value left in your share to cover it. By the way, I don't think you necessarily have to take those two healing potions with your share, they could go in the party share.
Alright going to give Matthias the cloak since Shae took the necklace. With that in mind here is everyone's GP values:
Bereket: 217.18
Hollie: 1,659.68
Jessalissa: 1,199.68
Matthias: 1,065.93
Shaedeen: 479.68
Party: 1,184.68
We also have the following potions to distribute from the party share:
CMW: 7
CLW: 3
Archived the loot sheet, moved items and coin to people's appropriate sheets and cleared out the current one so we should be good to go.
OK to assume that Shae finally gets her darkwood shield with shield sconce (258 gp, 5.5 lbs.) and update her sheet?
Yeah, if I remember correctly you placed a request for it before going to Thistletop yes?
Maybe? I think I was uncertain of finances then, but apparently Shae had over 1,000 gp at that time.
Let's just go with and say yes.
Done. Character sheet adjusted (+1 to AC, lowered AC penalty on skills by 1).
Heya, I'm a GM/player in the network of Dak's. I would like to take over for him, when he thinks there's a good break.
Here's a link to the other game I'm GMing. I generally run things by the book, but try to squint to be generous towards dev intention. If something is obviously ambigious, I generally run things as rule-of-cool, and am happy to give you circumstance bonuses if warranted.
With Thron, for example, I made a variant of the warpriest for him, which is working out pretty well, I think.
As Dak and Thron will note, I am pretty responsive on Discord too, and run things quickly. I will offer to bot anyone who needs a temporary or permanent break. For a longer break, I can make an NPC who can help with specific tasks, or again, can bot your character, though the amount of RPing I will do for your person is relatively minimal.
I'll RP as much as you want, and I'm happy to engage in whatever other systems seem appropriate (research, sanity if you want, downtime, verbal dueling) as long as you want me to. I'll keep the game PG-13 for the most part, unless asked otherwise.
In terms of reliability, I've been playing with him for about 2 years, and don't see any reason to quit any time (beyond something unexpected and catastrophic happening).
Dak seems like he'd appreciate some relief, so let me know if you'd like me to take over!
Sounds fine by me! If this becomes official I’ll DM you tidbits about my character on discord.
That all sounds fantastic, Litejedi! I, for one, would love to see you take the helm. Then Dak can focus on reading books and blowing things up.
I'm good with you taking the reins as well.
Sounds like we have 4 in favor. So I suppose it is official!
I'm in favor, as well! Thanks, Litejedi!
Checking in with the Alias that I will use - I've embedded a bunch of stuff into my other alias, so I'm hoping to keep my alias' discrete.
Shaedeen may speak with Hollie if she'd like, before the end of the day.
At this point, I think Shaedeen's committed to wallowing in self-pity and getting drunk. Maybe they'll connect the following day.

Dropping a note in all my games. I am hoping things won't change too much, but wanted to forewarn my games that there may be some delays in my posting. My work schedule is usually busiest over the summer months and while it is slow right now I know at some point it will get crazy busy when I start getting shipments in of hundreds of new computers for a rebuild of one of my schools I manage. On top of this I am finishing up my dual MBA/MSIS this summer with three classes in a condensed 8-week semester.
All of this to say, I will do my best to keep up and if I know of major delays I will try to notify people (like when it is finals week), but if I do end up disappearing for a few days here or there just know it won't be long term. All the craziness I have going on over the next couple months should primarily be wrapped up near the end of July.
As always, if you need something quick you can generally ping me on Discord.
For all my games: My PhD dissertation is due June 30th so I'm working on that a lot. I will try to keep all of my PBP games moving forward but I will undoubtedly be slower than normal.
Congrats! What are you working on for your PhD?
I like where your priorities are at, Matty.
I promise Shae won't rob you blind while you're preoccupied. ;)
My PhD is in disease ecology and evolution. I work with a fungal parasite that causes deadly epidemics in a small freshwater crustacean pretty widespread through temperate lakes. We don't actually care about the crustacean but it's like a lab rat that lets us test certain factors governing how disease spreads through populations.
And congrats yourself! I think I know what an MBA means but what's an MSIS? How's that work?
Thanks, guys! I'll have to count my things after I defend. ;)
If both of you want, I can bot your characters, or we can take it slowly. Let me know!
My guess at MSIS: Master of Science in Information Systems.
Yup, Bereket got it right. Essentially, while taking the MBA instead of taking several electives I take a more classes and complete both the MBA and MSIS.
The PhD sounds cool!

Dropping a note in all my games. Finished up with school yesterday, just waiting on the audit for me to officially be done and graduate even though there are no commencements with the whole virus thing. Wife is doing better after brief stint in the hospital. Looking at starting to get back into my games and get posting again sometime this week. My work is really crazy as first kids were coming back on the 17th but now everything is going to be virtual for an indeterminate amount of time, but teachers are coming back still and there is a lot of questions floating out there so bare with me as I ease into catching up on things and getting back into a regular posting routine again over the next week or so.
Thanks for the update. I'll pressure everyone once you're back-back.
I’ll be without internet access for a period, so please bot my character during my absence. I applied for assisted-rate access, but the process is taking a while. I’m hoping to be back online in a week or so; if things drag out beyond two weeks, I’ll do my best to find a way to hop online long enough to give an update.
There are several dice-rolling macros in Shaedeen's character sheet in her profile that should make botting her a bit easier.
Ahh, you hadn't posted for quite some time. I assumed it was because you were waiting. I'll bot you per what you said on discord, I suppose.
I'm here whenever it's time but also patient.
I'm moving several hundred miles now through Thursday and don't have internet set up at the new apartment yet. So I'll be able to keep up with posts a little bit but less frequently and not as well.
Dropping a note here for Dak. I touched base with him earlier today and he's tested positive for COVID and has been sick and out of commission for awhile and he is still sick. He said to let everyone know he'll be back when he recovers.
So sorry to hear that, Dak! Get well soon! I hope the road to recovery isn't especially rough...
Hey, I wanted to drop in and give all my games an update. I'm still alive, obviously, and I've managed to stay out of the hospital and off a ventilator. However, I'm still not fully recovered. Even though I'm outside my two week symptomatic/infectious period by over a week there are some lingering issues that are still weighing on me (continued shortness of breath, getting light headed, overall fatigue). I doing my best to push through it but it is barely just enough to get me through work everyday and doesn't leave a lot of time for anything else. I would like to give a hard and fast "I'll be back and up to playing again by this time", but sadly at this point I can't. It could be a couple weeks or it could be a couple months for me to get used to this new (hopefully temporary) norm on top of a few other things going on.
All this to say, I'm ok, I'm trying my best to manage, but I can't give you a hard "this is when I will be back". I understand it has been awhile as it is, between this most recent struggle with COVID and my past slowness with finishing up my graduate stuff so if you need to move on without me I completely understand and I'm just sorry that right as I was getting back into things again this whole virus thing came along and knocked me back down again. I'll check in again once I feel I'm up to playing with everything else I am balancing.
Take your time. Just so everyone knows, I'm holding off until Dak gets back, but I'll get back to it in full swing as soon as he's feeling better.
Sounds good. Shae's still lurking, probably plotting some sort of mischief.
So sorry to hear that, Dak. Take your time and get better!
Take your time. Just so everyone knows, I'm holding off until Dak gets back, but I'll get back to it in full swing as soon as he's feeling better.
That decision has my full support.
Sorry for the long silence a lot been going on and after getting pinged on Discord I wanted to drop a note in all my games. I'm actually doing a lot better now, pretty much fully recovered. However, my wife has been really sick, last month she was in the hospital for a week and I'm sitting in the surgery center now waiting to see how things turn out on a few hour procedure she is currently in. Depending on how invasive the surgery is I may be dealing with a lot for at least a month or so taking care of her and the kids and working. On top of that with the holidays coming and the normal delays that revolve around that I am going to say that it's going to be at least January before I look at picking things up again. Maybe if things get better sooner I will try jumping back in before that but I feel like early January is going to be more realistic.
If you need to move on without me I understand feel free to set my character aside or find a replacement if needed and when I check back we can go from there. Sorry for all the absent time, these last few months have just really kicked my butt first physically, then mentally and emotionally. Hope you all are keeping safe and have a good Thanksgiving and Christmas for those who celebrate.
Best wishes, Dak!
I should still be around in January, so that works for me.
