The Journey of a thousand miles

Game Master Vrog Skyreaver

looks over the rings and armbands and clothing and headbands and hats and boots and necklaces and bags and other strange items that she could use.

Still working on it, I promise. I should have some time this evening to get the majority of these lists knocked out, so we can get back to exploring your current location.

Sky attempts to dibs the force shield ring, the telekinesis ring, and one of the rings of protection for his hoard... And personal use. At the description of how a ring of telekinesis works he begins bouncing excitedly, tail following the movement. It is very clear he wants such a magnificent toy.

just half of the set of friend shield rings? 3 or less ring of protection won't affect his touch ac at all, so it may be better for each of you to take one. He really want the ring of magically floating things, though. Also, there's our ring of feather fall for paratroopers. And a ring of jump. I always loved the spell.

"The magic sticks seem very amazing... but I do not know what I would do with any of those spells. The one with the traps would surely help to protect a hoard, but I do not know the value... as magic wanes, yes?"

Well, looks like this is all the loot we'll need for the rest of the campaign...

Skyscale: Ring of Protection is a deflection bonus, which helps touch AC... but you've got the lowest AC, and can probably choose if you want the highest one.

Ring of Force Shield should probably go to someone who can't wield shields (Isabela or Skyscale?) since Korash can get a better bonus from a real shield.

The Ring of Continuation would allow Korash to do some fun things, unless anyone else really wants it, and Ring of Jumping would make a good second since he doesn't exactly need the Ring of Protection bonus.

EDIT: If Skyscale isn't going to wear a Ring of Protection, Korash will take the +3, and leave the other two to the squishIes

Skyscale has a draconic defense that turns half of his natural armor into deflection for the sake of touch, that's why I was saying it'd be less amazing for him. A natural armor necklace would probably be better, but... why not both? :3

Isabela who is checking the items, slips the Ring of Protection +5 and the Ring of Telekinesis on her fingers. She then calls out what the others rings may be to others. She slips the unidentified and unused ones into a pocket.

"We have a number of force Armour rings, +5/+3/+2 Ring of Protection I'm going to use the one with most power as I have no idea how to use Armour or shields, I know there will be no arguments.Puts her AC at 20 now and no longer 15 Two others as well but they have a lesser charge. This other ring is like that but it makes a lesser force shield Ring of force shield and you have to whiled it, we use then for police work but not much more. I can't use it. I am also going to take this Telekinetic power ring, I know how to use the power it holds, you"

She moves her hand and activates it, lifting up the full plate suit of armour and moving it cross the space some ways.

"At range you can movie things and hurl them, pick yourself up and lower yourself down, makes up a little for not being able to fly."

She steps on a shield and uses to lift herself off the ground.

"But you need good concentration skills to use it, I was trained from birth for that as I normally have such a power but the implants are blocking it so this makes up for its loss. This ring lest you move past obstructions with ease Ring of Freedom of Movement , I wish I could use more than two power rings at once as that would be of use to me, but Sky, as your a flyer any thing trying to being you down may find it hard with this in play. Some with you Ameo, there is also a ring of cats fallRing of Feather falling . Helps if you need to drop from a grate hight. I don't need it as I can use the Kinetic power ring to slow my drop. This power ring is a good one, Ring of Jumping drops you mass while you jump, means you can go higher longer."

She looks at the other rings.

"The next to are for gun heads, Ring of Grit Mastery x2 I have no idea how to use them, then Ring of Ectoplasmic Invigoration this one if for Meta shapers who call things into being. Kind of makes them stronger with Ectoplasmic Invigoration just never seen this kind before. This one we can used on doors, I like it and if no one minds would like to take it as well. Ring of X-Ray Vision It an X-Ray scanner, never seen one in a power ring before but I know how it works. This one is very odd, Ring of Wizardry III Stuff you call magic seems to be all over it. No idea how that works. We have one Power Ring of Friend Shield, no idea where the other is. Then a mind shield power ring, Ring of Delayed Doom but its seems to just put off an attack no stop it, so not much use really.
The next power ring is a Jailer's Dungeon Ring is a Jail ring, meant for prisoner's, don't put that thing on, but it may have a use should we need to control someone. This one is very odd for a power ring. Ring of Continuation its very much like our power Continuation devices but seems to work on what you call magic, It may work on true powers as well I have no idea. If she had her defence powers working then she would not need the ring of Protection with this ring, but as has not then its all but useless. Well that's the power rings done. Lets have a look at this other stuff"

and she go's to look over the other items

no dips guys, I made it clear she was checking rings WI stuff, she has taken NO other items, as they are no use to her what so ever. As she can use NO armour and ALL her defensive Psionics are blocked. She just lucked out with two psionic items A Telekinesis item and Ring of Protection +5 force shield in her eyes. she understands them as psionics, so they are a must for her. Also makes up for the loss of all her Kinetic powers. An not having access to use items such as Staffs, Shields,amour,weapons, right now she has Q-staff/dagger. I am not being funny but she will just take what she thinks will help her best while her powers /class - are/is crippled. you will not have the option of adding them to a loot pile or hoard.

Sky has taken absolutely nothing but decorations, but I'm not gonna complain. Sky will just whimper and be sad at the amazing toys going to Cali. Point of fact...

Skyscale dances excitedly at the demonstration... then watches as Calista does not take it off. Then watches a little longer. Then looks at the ring... then at her face... then the ring... then at her face... and you can see the child learning that Santa is not real leaving Skyscale in the breadth of an exhale.

"I would like the magic shielding ring. And the magic... armor ring? Does Korash want the Move-around ring? I can use it, but I can also avoid many obstacles due to my flying capabilities, the same is true for Ameo."

Calista gives him a stern look as he looks at her hand and back at her face. Like a mother gives a child who is not going to get the bad of sweets. She dos hold out the +3 rings of protection and Force Shield ring.

"The command words are 'shield on' 'Shield off' it forms a force shield linked to you hand. You can move it around, very good for stopping others shooting at you. I Don't know if you can use the.. magic.. sticks, Ameo seems to know what they do, I have never seen there kind before. Unless it has a power crystal in it there just sticks to me. Ameo, Korash what would be of use to you?"

Sky whats your AC now?

Korash has a CMD of like 34 vs grapple... he's not the right person for Freedom of Movement.

Isabela: the Ring of Continuation isn't very useful to you—your powers are mostly round/level, hr/level, or min/level, and it's only actually useful on powers that are 10 min/level—like Korash's Expansion, and a few powers like Energy Adaptation he's planning to eventually get. If you want it, that's fine, but I'd stick with only taking two.

Korash says nothing, but he points at the +3 Protection and Ring of Continuation. (The ring boosts Korash's AC to 35)

Also, Isabela: You should be wearing the Silken Ceremonial Armor +1. It's basically just a heavy robe, it imposes literally no penalty, and gives you an additional +2 AC. Alternately, you can wear one of the heavier armors, because non-proficiency just gives you penalties to attack but their is no psionic spell failure in armor.

If deflection+3 and shield, Sky goes up to 23 AC. Does shield impact touch AC? I've seen DMs go either way, I generally say no. If he goes Skybold, he'll want to hop into some armor, though. Proficient, or no.

Isabela hands Korash the Protection +3 and Ring of Continuation.

Yep I think your right her powers or rounds, mins hours so your much better with it. She likes the x-ray ring but that can be handing out to the group when needed, if ether of the flyers needs it then fine have no problem with that, I asked about this some time ago in another game. The ring of Shield makes a shield with 0AC add but with a +2 Entrancement and so stacks with Armour and deflection bonuses, there is only one +3 ring and both Sky and Korash want it. Isable as an AC of 15 at the moment as her protection powers are blocked. But AC 35 Korash with the ring how about you take the +2 Sky the +3 so AC20 ring+5/AC23 ring+3/AC35 ring+2

Korash ->Also, Isabela: You should be wearing the Silken Ceremonial Armor +1. It's basically just a heavy robe, it imposes literally no penalty, and gives you an additional +2 AC. Alternately, you can wear one of the heavier armors, because non-proficiency just gives you penalties to attack but their is no psionic spell failure in armour.<- Ok I see what your saying, [i]A character who is wearing armor with which he is not proficient applies its armor check penalty to attack rolls and to all skill checks that involve moving. But as its armor check penalty 0 it has no effect. cool Ok ill do that.[/ooc]

They're 5/4/3 for the protections. :) Armor proficiency hits you with the armor class penalty on your attack rolls. As the armor he's talking about has no ACPenalty, it's a nonissue. :) It's literally no more encumbering for you than wearing a bath robe over your armor. Sky might be different, due to how his body works. :)

Ameo Grabs the Ring of Wizardy III. And then looks over the other rings.

Are there any rings of protection left that no one else wants?

Lets camp here over night. We can attempt to identify the rest of the stuff again tomorrow.

"But Ameooooooo~ I'm not ti~ired..." Skyscale whines as his teenage dragon-ness shows... and he keeps piling up all the goodies for the others to identify. Rings go where the rings go... and so on.

You can take the ring of protection meant for Sky, and Sky will do Freedom of movement, if you feel you need the AC :)

Sky, keep the ring, you need it more.I plan to destroy everything with lightning bolts before it gets close to me.

Rings are in Calista pocket unless you are putting her on your loot stack your ant getting them Sky, she keeps his claws off any of the none yet identified items.

Looks at the other items

Unless Calista is the one opening the boxes, then Calista doesn't get to the rings before Sky organizes them. I was just saying that Sky is piling things up to be identified, which helps with the illusion of why the DM is identifying things line by line. If all the rings disappear into Cali's pocket, no big deal, but he'd totally be going OCD with the giant hoards. :) Since Cali's been specifically searching for certain things, Sky has been being helpful by weeding those things out for her... and satisfying his need to make everything into piles of loot.

Skyscale is -most- interested in slotless wondrous items. :>

We have a +5, +4, and +3 ring of protection. Isabela is taking the +5. Skyscale could take the +3, but he's never actually going to use it if he prefers those other two rings... which means that Korash could wear it, "on loan" from Skyscale's "hoard."

...which leaves Ameo the +4 ring.

I want to make clear Isabela is not gogging loot, just keeping it safe, hehe, if you want any of it she will give it you, but for the two rings she feels work best for her, should he get her powers back he may not need them. With other loot we really need a big old bag of holding. Sky with have to lug that around as its 35lb.

Isabela keeps looking over the things Sky hands out, she used the Xray ring on boxs to speed things along.

"Once we have everything we need to move along, I am worried we may be in a hot radiation zone. I have a means to fix my body but you all may not"

Sky would enjoy the Amulet of Mighty Teeth, The Bracers of Armor (as any normal armor wrecks him), The headband of prowess (if no one else is particularly awesome with wis/cha. Wis is his terrible stat, and Cha affects a lot of his things) Sky could also just take the Rod of Splendor for nearly as much effect... other things I'm open to suggestions on, though. A quick glance: Headband goes to Ameo, without a second thought. Sky would like his royal scepter!

Isabela pulls out the Gunman's Duster, Gunfighter's Poncho, Boots of Elvenkind, slips on the Bandolier (23), puts the rod of enemy detection into it, the the Headband (31,34), puts on the Bracelet (33) Headband (31) Belt (22) Bracers (21) Monocle (28).

"I think I can use this stuff, the rest dos nothing much for me."

If any one wants dibs lit me know, I think she is the only one who can use a gun, also folds up for the group in a Cloak (19, 24, 26)
Robes (25) Leather Coat(30) Headband (34) Pearls (35, 36)

If no one else objects, Korash will take the Highwayman's Cape, Caltrop Boots, Headband of Mental Prowess, and Tentacle Cloak.

He'll also take the Inquisitor's Monocle or Eyebite Eyes, depending on which of these nobody else wants.

OH MY GOSH, Tentacle Cloak is awesome. This means that, in a few levels, Korash will be able to grapple like 8 people a round, and maintain three of those at the same time.

As Ameo uses Wisdom -and- Charisma to cast, Sky isn't even going to think of taking it :P It sounds cool, but it's just too good for Ameo. On the other hand, Sky -is- willing to wear things he does not know what they do. I'm not averse to putting on unknown results objects, and Sky parading around in it, because it is clearly magical :) We'll go with him wearing 22, 24, 34, and what slot do 'pearls' go in? Or are they pearls of power-esque and thus not worn?

Is it time to move on, as we divvy up the last of the stuff?

Isabbela once clothed like a gun slinger, places the small items in her Bandolier pockets Looks at the others. In the non magic items she looks for sacks and back packs. Placing bigger things in them for the others.

Armors, weapons Shields not Included

Sky will wear/carry: Rod of Splendor, Amulet of Mighty Fists +1, Bracers of Armor +2, Unidentified: Cloak 24, Belt 22, Headband 34. The rod is carried, everything else is worn, unless someone else claims the items :). Open Slots: Chest, Eyes. He'll wear anything anyone wants to put on him in those slots. :) If he can fit: I'm going with unidentified Monocle (because he needs one), and the unidentified leather jacket. Assuming no one else wants them. :) So Monocle 28 and Jacket 30 (if it's a chest slot. If it's not, is there one that would fit in his chest slot?).

Also: I believe Korash has the +3 ring of protection and Ameo the +4 ring. (Unless Skyscale wants one, but he hasn't said so.

Korash also would like the Caltrop Boots and Ring of Continuation (not marked on that chart). And he's only taking Eyebite Eyes or Inquisitor's Monocle, because they're both items that should go to different members of the group. (Skyscale, do you want the Inquisitor's Monocle? It helps explain what people are thinking).

Since the Ring of Continuation lets Korash stay in his Large form indefinitely, the backpack he's taken grows to accommodate this, and his Max Load increases to 120 lb with no encumbrance; after all the weapons and armor he took, this should allow him to carry at least 50 lb more, which should take care of all the unidentified staves, rods, and wondrous items not being worn. He can come back for the extra weapons when we have more spellcraft, I suppose.

WOW where did the dwarf come from hehe, Wrong alt Kor. Also Sorry if I missed anything or got things wrong. I agree Korash needs the Ring of Continuation,

starts passing out the found objects so that every one can carry some stuff.

Sorry, everyone, that's me! My default character is that dwarf, and it's too late now to chance.

Once, presumably, a day has passed and all the lockers have been raided, the now-heavily-armed Korash lets Skyscale and Isabela once again lead the way.

So I really want/need that headband, I am a duel mental stat class. And wisdom and Charisma are my stats. That Head band really needs to go to me. I would also take the Rod of Negation.

Only the consumable items to go, then i'll be done; as long as you guys don't spend the next 2 weeks in game opening more lockers, that is.

Skyscale will be very sad to be dragged away kicking and screaming.

'Kay. Somebody else's winding up with the Rod of Splendor, though, because it doesn't stack. Also, I'm a class that pretty much only uses Wisdom (Hit/dmg with melee and ranged weapons, spells, and eventually AC), so I'm calling dibs on anything else we find that boosts it.

Seriously. Sky will use the Rod of Splendor. It ENCRUSTS HIM WITH GEMS.

And +4 Charisma may make him more compulsive, but so far... that hasn't been a problem :P

Isabela looks on a Sky makes himself into a walking Gem shop, and shakes her head.

Isabela is all Int, anything that ups that is good for her.

Ameo and Skyscale are the only one who can use scrolls.

Potions and wands are left, then I can rest =P Seriously, though, That is all that's left. Potions will probably take the longest, cause there are 70 of them.

As Ameo begins to collect the scrolls and pick them out, Skyscale watches with an unseemly amount of interest. After a moment, he also begins enrolling scrolls and looking at them. "What are these for? What are they made from? Does this look more like a skarrel or a zerbzug to you?" He turns the scroll around and around, looking at it from different angles, before showing it to the rest of the group.

"They look like religious text to me, book of the dead or something like that, useless"

She is still pack away things into her clothing

"You speak of books again. What is a book?"
