Alright, the spellbook is worth 1580 gp.
Summary of all Treasure:
Priestess Fight (total = 14,770 gp)
Arak Fight (total = 15,050 gp)
Wizard Fight (total = 8,510 gp)
Grand Total = 38,330 gp
Market Value = 19,165 gp
Each member get = 4,791 gp
Now, this is assuming that everyone who has picked up something to use is now putting it back into the pot, which is a HUGE assumption. Is Orrin giving back the sword and armor? Is Miu going to keep those potions for herself? Keep in mind that you can put the item in the pot and back it back for 1/2 price.
So, what's everyone's opinion? Thoughts?

Vhorun already has a belt of strength.
He will probably upgrade his sword and if he can afford it his armor. i will have to look through the pricelist and write what he buys tomorrow.
rather than spend a long time working this out
how about i give each PC 1000gp extra and any items that they find and can use, they can take. ( shal can choose who gets it if more than one of you wants it)
all other items get given to the dwarves or taken by shal to give to your house
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
OOC: Cool beans. I will take the 11,000 gp (nothing like cold hard cash...). As for the loot, I will take take the potion of invisibility and the scroll of stoneskin (+250 gp of diamond dust as spell component).
M Drow Fighter 7
Vhorun takes the +2 chain mail if no one objects.
Back home he sell his old chain mail for 2500 gp giving him 11000 + 2500 = 13500 to spend.
He will upgrade his curveblade to a +1 keen frost elven curveblade (2000 gp) and further upgrade it with icy burst (8000)
He will also buy a ring of protection (2000) and a potion of enlarge person (50)
that leaves 1450 gp which he will save for now.
Ghaun
do you want any of this?
(miu is not posting for a week so if she wants anything she can say later)
Char
can you use the stoneskin scroll? also the component cost is already incuded in the scroll
perhaps Ghaun can have the diamond dust?
Vhorun you can have the chain +2 but your blade is already +2 equivalent ( costing 8,000gp)
to upgrade to frost would cost another 10000gp (making a total of 18,000 for a +3 equivalent weapon)
to then increase it to icy burst would cost another 14,000 for a total of 32,000

Re: scroll of stoneskin
Ravi, good call on not needing the material component. Charyl won't be able to use the scroll, but Ghaun can cast it on him. It's a way to Charyl to have more staying power in a fight.
Male Drow Noble Conjurer 7
sorry, been busy with graduations. I'll take the arcane scrolls, the wand of lightning bolt, and the spellbook. I'll take the diamond dust as well.
M Drow Fighter 7
aah, didn't know it was cumulative. Scratch the icy burst then, it will be the same amount of money.

i was very suprised about how quickly the drow wizard was killed! he did not even get a chance to use the scroll!
so everybody is back home

Anyone wants to do anything as a group, let me know.

Ghaun spends the time studying spells, crafting magic items, and mastering the other drow wizard's spellbook. Checks for crafting the items in order: master spellbook, craft wand of haste, craft wand of glitter dust, & Ring of sustenance - 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 251d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 261d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 341d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

I also used the diamond dust to make two scrolls of stoneskin for myself.
If anyone wants me to craft some items for them, let me know. I have forge ring and craft wand.
a few months pass, house R’zinn is seriously in trouble
people are saying that they have lost lolth's
then suddenly it is all over!
one "night" they are attacked and destroyed by unknown forces, they are completely obliterated, with none left alive, house R'zinn is no more!
the word on the street is that it was House Hunzen who launched the attack but there is no evidence so nothing is done
your house is now the 11th house
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
We're edging towards top 10...
Male Drow Noble Conjurer 7
After the fires die down from House R'zinn, Ghaun'mere goes on a walk to see the ruins. Pausing in front of the once great house, he whispers to Faur'nezz in their secret language, "How the mighty have fallen. Do you think there is any loot worth taking? No? Very well, let us return home."
Is there anything else of import about the destruction of House R'zinn?
Know(local- Underdark North): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
knowledge underdark the most significant thing is that your house has moved up to being house 11! and that there will be no revenge attack on the stormhammer mines
after the fall of R'zinn shal starts spending some time with all four of you, she says that you will soon have a mission on the surface, but does not say any more than that
you have all been trained to be comfortable on the surface world
But shal starts taking the training further, she starts teaching you about the mannerisms and beliefs of surface elves, she then asks you to emulate these mannerisms, you spend two months doing this
you all have a mixed level of success depending on your charisma, bluff and disguise skills, but shal seems happy with your progress
after these two months (it now been about five months since your last mission)shal says "we are going to leave for the surface world in two days time, so younglings you have two days to enjoy yourselves, i will tell you of your mission when we are above ground"

Heya all, I'm back.
21,400 fast exp track means we're still lvl 6 right?
Miu will take the +2 medium shield, any divine scrolls (the dispel magic ones I assume) and the wand of cure light wounds.
She will also upgrade her +2 heavy mace to a +2 heavy mace of spellstoring. She'll save the 1000gp.
Any treasure unclaimed goes to the house or do we sell it?

normally uncliamed treaure goes to the house but in this case the dwarves will have claimed a chunk of it
and also you should be level 7 now

ok!
oh and I ment +2 morningstar, not heavy mace.

Ghaun'mere goes to his library to select texts that deal with the surface world to bring along. He replenishes his regents and speaks to his cousins that will be joining him, "Pray tell cousin, is there anything we need to do before the journey?"
Female Drow Cleric 7
Btw, what's a medium shield? not light nor heavy?
In those few months Miu will have continued both her combat and clerical training besides the lessons of her aunt. In combattraining she has focused mostly on fighting with morningstar and shield.

its a heavy shield
End of chapter one!
chapter two to be commencing shortly.......
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
sorry about the delay! soon.......
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
No problem. Quality > quantity.
CHAPTER 2
You are all called to a meeting with Shal, the meeting is in your great Uncle's Lab, (he is called Runoth)
Runoth is the most powerful wizard in your house.
Shal speaks
“Make yourselves comfortable I am going to tell you are story!
Younglings as I am sure you know, The surface elves and our people are related and once we were one people”
(Shal proceeds to tell you a very long interesting story of how all elves lived on the surface, and there was a big, bitter, long lasting war between different groups, the Drow lost and the Drow survivors escaped to the under dark, this story conflicts with the dogma that Drow clerics give of the Drow choosing to live underground)
“The point of this story is that for purposes of race we are all considered elves, the relevance of this is that we can get into places warded against non elves and use powerful weapons that can only be used by elves.
The surface elves have many abandoned cities, the greatest of these is called myth drannor, and it is full of demons, ghosts and tombs,
I want us to do an exploration of Myth drannor and steal its treasures. We can fight the demons, the ghosts may ignore us and we can possibly get past some of the tomb wards if we look the part, so I plan on us looking like surface elves.
There are some surface elves resident around myth drannor and it will be helpful to win their trust
We also need a reason to be there that these elves will accept.
Our reason is that we are followers of the god Shevarash god of revenge and we are Drow hunters
We have news of a group of Drow who are going to raid the city and we want to stop and kill them.
The genius of this plan is that as Drow hunters we will over time begin to emulate them, dressing in their styles, wielding their weapons and taking on some of the mannerisms, all the better to understand and destroy them, these Drow hunting surface elves are a solemn bunch and some of them are evil to the core, so we will be able to take on this role easily!!!
And whenever we act too much like a Drow, other elves will hopefully assume that it is because of our obsession with killing Drow!!
The idea of raiding old eleven cites is not a new one and we are not the only ones to think of this
We were planning on doing this expedition in a few years when you were more experienced but
The first house Baenre has just launched an expedition to myth drannor,
We cannot let that house get more powerful so we must stop them,
Our Aim and your orders are to stop this house from getting hold of anything valuable and to kill as many of them as you can find.
When we meet any surface elves and are made subject to magic that discerns truth, you will tell them your orders, which are to kill Drow and stop them stealing the citie’s valuables.
Charlyl, you and only you have the additional order to take and keep anything of value that we find.
With luck and careful use of words, we may be able to convince the surface elves that we are on their side. And hopefully ally with a few of them against our real enemy the house Baenre
We will go to myth drannor via a portal that is in a forest on the surface a few hundred miles from here
We believe that this portal is in a forest called Lokel in an Elven village, we will need to gain this villages trust and commendation, which will allow us to travel to myth drannor quickly and also give us a way of earning the trust of any elves we meet around myth drannor, the elves in the forest are having trouble with human loggers and we may be able to use this to our advantage
Any questions?
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
Charlyl listens intently at his house's latest scheme, nodding here and there. When Shal's done, the rogue speaks up, "You mentioned us looking like surface elves. How will us managed to do to that?" He arches an eyebrow at Runoth, fully expecting his great uncle to have the answer.
"Do we have any information on House Baenre's expedition in terms of number, leaders, and specifically what they're looking for? The more we know about our enemy, the more likely we can find some kind of weakness to exploit. This is a shadow game, and I am eager to match skills and cunning against the first house."
"I expect we will be getting some additional equipment for looting myth drannor? It'll be impossible for us to carry all its riches with regular backpacks..."
shal says
we have to be careful using illusion or transformation magic as it will show up under even the most basic divinations!
my uncle has developed a spell that will take out the pigment from our skin, the effect is permanent so will not detect as magic, after 4 or 5 months our skin will start to regenrate and after about 6 months we will be back to normal
on top of this we will use various mundane ways of disguising ourselves
using dyes and the like, I am an expert at disquise but we have a master of it in this room
Charlyl we will use the skills of your father Shanik,"
At which point Runoth laughs and he changes his facial expressions, as you look more closely you realise that it is actually Shanik disguised as Runoth,
A door in the back opens and the real Runoth comes in,
Shanik says "obviously your disguises do not have to be as good as mine,
and if you are discovered we have a back up of saying that you are drow who follow that B***ch Elistraee!(OOC goddess of good drow!)
I will sort out some good disguises for you although shal is very capable, try not to use your innate abilities as that might draw attention to you
and sorry to say but we have no more info on house Baenre, it cost us a lot to get what we did"
Male Drow Noble Conjurer 7
"That should take care of some appearances; however, what about spell regents? Foci? Holy symbols? Incantations? Will these not become apparant if they are used in front of the sun stained?"
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
Charlyl swelled with pride when Shal brought up having a "master of disguise" in the room, but he was quickly humbled as his own father Shanik revealed himself. "Good thing Runoth hasn't cast his spell on us yet, or for sure everyone would have saw me blush with embarrassment..."
"How will we carry all of myth drannor's riches back again?" Charlyl asks again.
Female Drow Cleric 7
Miu snorts at the suggestions of posing as surface dwelling elfs and loudly protests at the idea of claiming to be a follower of Elistraee:
"WHAT? I will do no such thing! PFFFAH! Surely our skills won't require such preposterous measures?"
Miu caresses the hilt of her morningstar which looks very well polished.

and for Miu i will put a magical tattoo on her which will count as a Holy symbol

Shal replies, "although i am not a cleric of our Goddess I am a student, My understanding is that trickery is something she would approve of!
and frankly my dear your skills alone would not be enough!!"
Male Drow Noble Conjurer 7
"Very well. Let us be off."
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
"Indeed, let's go trick some surface elves!"
its is explained to you that firstly you will have to be disguised
Runoth asks you to shut your eyes and let him cast a spell on you,
(i will assume that you are ok with this)
you skin starts tingling, after a few minutes it stops, you look at your hands and you notice that they are now a pale colour
shanik and Shal spend sevral hours disguising you, using dyes and colours,
you equipment is mostly the same
but you are all given a longbow, 20 arrows,a (surface) elven cloak and a few bits and pieces each to make you come across as more surface elven
your clothing is all changed to surface elven styles.
your grandmother divaste comes in to admire Shaniks handiwork
she smiles
and says
"let me speed you on your journey!
she casts a windwalk on the 4 pcs and shal
shal says follow me
you follow shal through a series of secret tunnels that put you out side of the city..........
you spend several hours speeding through the underdark and then emerge in the outside world.......
you speed up even more and go along at unbelievable speeds for another 10 hours (going 600 or so miles) it is dark outside as you travel,
as the dawn aproaches you sense your spell wearing off,
you land,
shal explians that the town you want is a few hours walk away
as you walk along you see a large forest with many trees cut down
you arrive at the town.
so what do people want to do?
(as i have rushed you, you are allowed to retroactively ask questions or grab stuff)

Charlyl speaks up first, "I want to gauge the social & political climate of this place. Who's in charge, what is the relationship between the major power groups, etc..."

"ahem...mem...um. Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3.... My common appears to be in working order. Let us move into town and look around."

Before they leave, Miu asks her aunt and uncle what would happen to their initial disguise when using a further magical way of disguising is used.

Charlyl also inquires whether the magic used to lighten their skin can be dispelled.

shame to waste a good roll! so
who do you want to talk to?
as you come up on the town you recieve unfriendly stares from some people or are ignored and in some cases people move away from you quickly.
the town is quite small, you see a tavern, a smithy,some shops a logging HQ and lots of homes, where do you want to go to first?
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
"Let's hit up the tavern. We can say we're city elves from far away lands. Tongues tend to be looser where wine and coins are aplenty!"
