Just waiting for some more posts.
GM Peachbottom, did you include the coin from the vault in our dividings?
yes
If there isn't anything else worthwhile, can Henrika use her Persona phase to charm or inspire her followers help with crafting magic items? If we're concerned we don't have enough time for Bartelby and Xallis to craft everything we want, that might reduce the number of hours needed?
There is a Persona Advanced Operation for crafting magic items, but unfortunately it requires Genius and Henrika's Genius is 0.
Invention (Genius): Your agents help you create magic items and research spells. Select one spell or magic item. If you succeed at an Operation check, your agents find or create the chosen spell or item, and you can then purchase it for the standard cost. The DC of the Operation check is equal to 10 + caster level for a magic item, or 10 + twice the spell level for a spell.
Sorry for the continued delays. Got a pretty big assignment in college right now.

If Trevor only already has a +2 glamered breastplate, it only costs 12,000 gp to upgrade to +4. And only 6,000 gp by having Bartelby craft it.
Bartelby can craft that in 3 days.
To craft Tychus' armor to +4, it'll cost him 3,500 gp and take Bartelby 2 days.
He has enough time to upgrade Henrika's armor too; Henrika can upgrade her armor to +4 for 3,500 gp. And two more days of crafting.
Bartelby still has enough time to craft 7 more days worth if needed.
Does Trevor maybe want to upgrade his weapon? It'd be 7,000 gp to add another +1 to his weapon.
Xallis, I don't see Craft Wondrous Item on your character sheet. But I'll assume it is just an error for now.
The increase Tychus' cloak and ring, it'll cost Tychus 7,500 gp and take Xallis 3 days.
Xallis can do Henrika's headband to +6 for 10,000 gp and 5 days. And her runestones (2nd and 3rd) for 13,000 gp. And 7 days.
Crafting the above, Xallis has spent 15 out of the 14 days. (I'll give you the 1 extra day.) But he cannot craft anymore.
Wow, did I really forget to slap that on? I had intended to take it at my Level 9 upgrades but I must have forgotten to add a feat. The post immediately after references crafting an item so I'm 100% sure that was the level I got it.
My suggestions for some of the other treasure on the sheet. Please consider:
Amulet of Natural Armor +2
Malphene’s AC is really low for a front-line fighter. She does not have an amulet and could benefit from this.
Belt of Str/Con +2
Trevor doesn’t have any belt. I’d suggest he takes it.
Malphene has a Con +2. She could benefit from the +2 Str as well.
Bracers of Armor +5
Probably only Navia could benefit from this. She doesn’t have any armor item at the moment, so she could use it. Otherwise sell it.
Cloak of Resistance +3
Icabhod and Xallis both have cloaks +2. One of them should take the upgrade.
Greater Book of Extended Summoning (Lawful)
Does Xallis want this? He’s the only one primarily summoning things. It’s only a 1 time use item though. Otherwise sell it.
Pearl of Power (2nd)
Bartelby and Trevor are the only prepared spellcasters, so one of them can use this.
Spectacles of Understanding
Does anyone want this? Otherwise sell it.
Band of the Crusader's Alliance
This is probably one of the least impressive relics, I know. But still +2 luck bonus to certain saves will stack with most other buffs and prayer, death ward, and wall of stone are decent spells to be able to cast. Anyone without a wrist item could benefit from it. Someone should take it.
Going through the treasure sheet, I also found a few duplicates:
Under Trevor, there was a cloak of resistance +2 and a cloak of resistance +4. I marked the cloak +2 to sell next time.
And Tychus had two gold holy symbols. I marked the second one to sell.
Icabhod has a cloak of resistance +2 and a cape of the mountebank. Both take up the shoulders slot so they can't be worn at the same time. So he has some options. 1) He can keep both and wear one at a time. 2) He can sell one. 3) He can have Xallis combine them and pay the difference. It would cost 3,000 gp for Xallis to add a cloak of resistance +2 ability to the cape of the mountebank. Selling his +2 cloak would give back 2,000 gp, so it'd only be 1,000 gp difference to add them together.
I had the cloaks combined a while ago.
My mistake then. I'll update it.
Trevor also has a belt of mighty constitution +2. It has allowed him access to his aasimar feats.
Apparently my treasure sheet is all wonky then
On the topic of loot:
As Navia is taking a break from sneaking around to moonlight as a consequence of man's hubris, there are several sneaking based items that would likely find more use in the hands of another party member. Icabhod seems to be the most likely candidate. These include:
Subtle Slippers
Dark Blue Rhomboid Ioun Stone (Cracked)
5 scrolls of Aram Zey's Focus which investigators can cast.
The +5 bracers of armor would be nice on Navia, but mage armor is only one point lower and I would not object in the slightest if the party wanted to sell it and split the money instead.
I'll take the +3 cloak of resistance if Icabhod doesn't want it, but he spends more time in direct danger.
Summoning book seems redundant when Xallis' summons last for a dozen minutes per cast. Methinks it would better serve the party coffers.
I'll do some shopping in the next couple real life days.

Oh and a special shout out to Eyes of the Eagle. At this level its cost is pocket change and that perception bonus is amazing for anyone who invests in the skill.
If no one else wants it, Henrika can wear the Band of the Crusader's Alliance. A +2 luck bonus to common Fort-based saves would certainly help her frontliner defenses.
5 scrolls of Aram Zey's Focus which investigators can cast.
It sucks, but investigators (unlike alchemists) do not count as having any spells on their spell list, so the only way they can cast scrolls or wands is with Use Magic Device.
I realized this morning that Henrika already has a +1 luck bonus to her saves, so the Band would be less mechanically effective on her than anyone else! Bartelby’s the only PC without a relic— I think the Band should go to him.

If allowed, Malphene will take the amulet and belt. And Trevor will take the pearl and spectacles.

I mean hey if you wanna grant Bartelby honorary PC status I won't object. As long as no one else is gunning for it.

Well, both Jack and Malphene have relics, so it seems only fair...

Might seem a little odd, but Tychus has been harboring some guilt about Kalbio's death. Is paying someone to cast Resurrection (or True Resurrection) technically a possibility? I think I have enough gold to cover the full thing.
Yes, it is possible. Kalbio is buried in Breezy Creek if you want to try.

What title does Henrika's uncle hold, stolen from her after the death of her father? I like the idea that he is a viscount, so that now she would outrank him, though it's unlikely that he would treat her any differently. But it might be that he is also a baron, which would leave him a greater obstacle for her to eventually deal with.
We'll have to make up his title. We can say he is a viscount if you like that.
I should have a post up in an hour or two.
We’ve been hit hard by the snow. No work, school. And we lost power in my home, so I won’t be able to post until the power comes back.
Please keep us posted how you’re doing when you can, Peachbottom!

I have power back. I'll survive!
But I'm so exhausted. I probably won't post today.
No worries. Rest up as much as you need :)
Looks like the Book 5 Maps document is set to View Only.
Fixed. Thanks for letting me know.

Will the heroes be defeated by a random group of statues? Stay tuned next time to find out.

The dice are not your friends this fight.
I'll say! :D
Would it be possible to plane shift to find our friend?
I'll allow it.
GM Peachbottom, Malphene is with the coterie in the tomb. Her natural drive to learn and grow made sure she kept close to Trevor's side. She even helped decipher the murals with the others.
I apologize to GM Peachbottom and the rest of the party. I missed that key information and acted rashly. I did not mean to bulldoze Malphene in this encounter.
It's no big deal.
I don't think Malphene's stats are updated for the amulet and belt.
Sorry for the slow posting. A weekend full of work, cramming for a college exam, and major home reorganizing ia running me dry.
Spring break starts on Wednesday and it should clear up a bit. Feel free to bot me when needed.
