In a couple of weeks my group of players should finish up this chapter of Second Darkness. So with that being the case I have a question regarding the Battle Point awards.
Page 19 states:
"how well the PCs have done and indicates the final reward the elves are able to grant them (since much of this reward money comes from reclaimed
gear and treasure taken from the drow, a stronger victory generates more gold). The following table shows the gp value of the item each character should be given."
However, the Conclusion states:
"Eviana thanks the PCs for all they have done, and depending on their
success and the total number of Battle Points they’ve gained during the adventure, she awards them with their choice of magical items, gems, or jewelry in an amount as detailed on the table on page 19."
Now my question is this, does the magic item need to be one item of whatever value they have achieved or can it be a number of magic items that total that amount?

You're the DM. Whichever you choose. If you want to give the party paladin a +2 adamantine half-plate set, go for it. If you want to give him ten cloaks of resistance +1, go for it. Just give the PCs things they want or would like for their character-- heck, ask each PC what magic item they are planning on buying next and then put it in the parcel. If they got the 10,000gp award and all they wanted was a pair of bracers of armor +1, bounce it up to +2 and then give them something else they'd like-- a handy haversack, an efficient quiver, boots of striding and springing all come to mind as items that people like and use often but don't prioritize.
