Artemis asked for the whetstone because it is something he would do as a character. Happy to pass it on for someone else, if that is the group’s decision. No need for rolls on my end. And I am not an advocate of first post gets first claim.
So, do you want to rest and allow the wounded to heal, or press forward?
Got no wounded in my Posse, only cadavers... Speaking of which.
This is tough... I'd like to rest for Clucky's sake, as he's down from a whopping 5 HP to only 1. I think you get 2 HP for every FULL day of rest, if memory serves. So two full days would see him back to normal HP.
That said, Cur Maxima is gonna do more than 5 damage anyway based on its previous attacks (most likely), so now that I think on it, let's just press on. A HP total of 1 or 5 won't likely make a difference in the long run.
Does Artemis have a decent weapon to use with that whetstone? If not, I'd suggest it follow the battleaxe (or another good weapon wielded by someone else.)
My characters will go ahead and stick with their own weapons for now, I reckon.
Lester picked up the fallen Franc's spear. If I'm reading this right if Lester dons the Scale mail his AC would be 16? Agility +2, Scale Mail +4?
Franc also had leather armor if anyone wants it.
Yes that is correct. Very high AC at level 0!

That only means he'll be the next to die :-)
Probably!
Posted on the assumption you want to keep going. May toss in a healing potion for Clucky later if I’m feeling generous.

He has a shortsword.
Ok, Dell and Dee will take a club each…does the same damage as a dagger, but now they have…two 1d4 weapons!
Give the leather armor to Clucky if he’s injured?
If you have it to spare, Clucky will thank you kindly!
It’s Scranford’s Franc that has no further need of it….
I offered up Franc's Leather armor in a post above. Feel free to loot my characters dead bodies... :-)
Busy this weekend, will post Monday morning.
Clucky is the kind of guy that'd ask permission of his friends first. Mickey, not so much... :)
Fleshy rippling mutant pseudopods!
Pip hasn’t even thought that far ahead. He’ll probably tell people about it if the mutant dies…
In his defence, given the available options and the discussions held so far about what might happen “up there”, Pip might be forgiven for not exactly thinking that the concealed way up is anything approximating “escape”.
Having said that, he definitely should be telling people what he has noticed….if the mutant doesn’t kill him, he will…
scranford is up still! Maybe he can finish off the mutant before it attacks again.
I'm assuming that the fallen Franc's armor only fits a Dwarf?
If you mean Lester, then yes, it is dwarf-sized only.
LOOT!!!
Clucky would like the dwarven-crafted warhammer.
Thinking maybe each of us makes a 'claim' for one of our 0-Level characters? Then once those have cleared, we can put in claims on the remainder?
If there's any left, Mickey would take a short sword and Fennik would take the leather armor currently worn by Clucky - if there's a suit of chainmail remaining for Clucky to have.
I'd suggest someone with good Agility take those holy waters and use them against Cur Maxima if/when we encounter him. Maybe it'll be helpful.
We can keep the holy symbol to sell, if any of us make it out of here alive!
Sounds like a good plan:
Here are the claims my characters would make:
Cyne: Suit of Chain Mail (he can give his leather armor to someone else)
Aerond: The crossbow w/quiver
Mirinde: Vial of holy water
Gauward: Suit of leather armor (halfling sized)
Artemis would probably want a suit of chainmail
Lisa has an ok Dex, so probably the crossbow?
Well Lou my one remaining character would also like the crossbow as he has the Hawkeye trait (+1 Damage with ranged), and +1 Agility. Should we dice off for it.
You can have it. Lisa will take a leather armor then.
Attack!!!!
Oh, whoops. That’s….later.
Ok, here’s my character’s wants.
Dell, Dee and Pip all want the cursed spear. What?
Pip is fine with Gauward or another halfling taking the halfling sized-armor.
Dell and Dee would want leather armor, they would feel too bulky in chain, though Dell will if he has no other option.
Both Dell and Dee would want a spear, so if someone is getting a shortsword has a spare spear, they’ll gladly accept a makeshift spear. Currently they have a club and a dagger each, and have taken Aio’s shortbow/arrows, but as trappers/hunters they prefer a good spear.
Finally, Pip will take a torn sack. And no-one is going to stop him!!! Just kidding, happy to fight to the death for it.
I think we need to roll…for initiative….
Or…get a serious spreadsheet happening.
I think I’m confused as to how the loot distribution is happening. I thought we were making claims for things we want. Then we determine who gets what. By some heretofore as yet undesignated system. Not involving combat. Except for the torn sack. That is totally happening,
Here is what we found, less the spear Mr Wamderful claimed, and the used up vial of holy water…
- 3 usable sacks
- 3 torn sacks.
• A suit of dwarf size banded mail, in need of repair (AC bonus reduced to +4 until repaired).
- 1 suit of human sized chainmail, in need of repair (AC bonus reduced to +3 until repaired).
- 1 suit of human sized chainmail, in need of repair (AC bonus reduced to +3 until repaired).
- 1 suit of leather armor in decent condition, human sized
- 1 suit of leather armor in decent condition, halfling sized.
- 1 crossbow – the string is nearly rotted through, and it can fire one shot before it breaks.
- Quiver with 6 crossbow bolts.
- 1 short sword
- 1 short sword
• 1 beautifully wrought dwarven warhammer in excellent condition.
- 1 vial of holy water
• 1 holy symbol (Justicia), made of platinum and copper and hung on a silver chain (1000 gp value).
Apologies if you claimed something - repost the list, with your name next to it. To speed things up, I’m not claiming anything until other folks have, and have stated
* Dell and Dee would just want spears if anyone has ‘em to spare,
* Dell will take leather armor if no one else does, failing that, chainmail.
* Pip will let other halflings take the halfling sized armor. But he’s keeping a torn sack. Or else.
To be clear: I’m not putting my hand up to be treasurer. Given 99.98% of my posting is from a phone I’m not sure I could handle a spreadsheet!
Just hit “Reply” to my list post and amend it as each item needs to be claimed…we’ll all be dead in a hot minute…
Created a blank spreadsheet you can edit to aid in loot distribution.

I added in Stiehle’s requests. Given Clucky got the warhammer, he doesn’t get to go for the chainmail. We still have a problem here in that scranford also wanted the amazing crossbow that can fire once before it breaks for his one remaining character.
Thanks, that looks perfect OSW! Any more dwarves in the party? Or someone able to use that banded mail? Pretty sweet protection, but fumbling in that armor is no fun at all!
Also have a short sword up for grabs, it looks like!
Great post by the way CucumberTree, I love it! So... Wanderful is going after the titan, right? :)
Looks like the gear is sorted out. Ready to proceed?
Aye!
Oops, forgot the battleaxe CucumberTree has added - it was Kalros’ axe originally, right?
I thought the spear was the only thing that could kill the sleeping titan/giant. Or is it the only thing that can kill Cur Maxima?
