I am of the opinion that Ishirou should get a fair share, with the DM arguing for his part -- but not first dibs. Yes it was his map, but he doesn't seem to have come along to take the risk; and we made no such promise.
Ishirou promises Corbrius equal shares for all who help find the treasure from his map.
Corbius decides not to mention it right away.
Ishirou emphasizes the part about not wanting to share it with the other homebodies.
Corbius tells us about it. Still nothing about Ishirou getting first choice or whatever.
So. On to the main event! As a reminder, in the absence of merchants, we've been going by who having what would increase our survival chances, tempered by who could use something cool to play with. I've been maintaining an excruciatingly detailed loot log on the Google site, so when (if? please say someday!) we reach some semblance of civilization again, we can do a proper split without too much difficulty. Just because you're using something for the nonce doesn't mean that you're claiming it; nor does it mean that you'll get it forevs. Here's a rough first pass.
Mithral scroll tube: Whoever has a bunch of scrolls and isn't Tragershen (who has the Azlanti scroll tube), I guess?
Scrolls: I don't care. You magic guys can figure it out.
Wand of bear's endurance: Ditto.
+1 slick chainmail (Small): Anton's the only one who can use it aside from Gelik. Haven't run it through Hero Lab yet; but it looks like due to Anton's Dex, the only differences would be gauntlets, +5 competence bonus to Escape Artist checks, +1 to flat-footed AC, and -1 to touch AC.
Masterwork bejeweled cutlass: Hopefully Ishirou will want this.
Dusty rose ioun stone: Pretty much anyone could benefit, but (as he said in the other thread), Nim is a good candidate due to the aspect of the bear stacking problem with the amulet of natural armor +1.
Belt of giant strength +2: Obviously Anton and Nim are interested.
+1 slick chainmail (Small): Anton's the only one who can use it aside from Gelik. Haven't run it through Hero Lab yet; but it looks like due to Anton's Dex, the only differences would be gauntlets, +5 competence bonus to Escape Artist checks, +1 to flat-footed AC, and -1 to touch AC.
You should gain +1 to your normal AC from the Armor as well as pick up a skill point on all Dex skills since it is Masterwork.
Chainmail has a lower max Dex bonus than a breastplate -- lower than Anton's Dex bonus -- and a higher armor check penalty (that is offset by it being masterwork). He's really in a tight spot armor-wise, where either he would need a magical breastplate to improve his AC, or a magical chain shirt to improve his mobility (if he can reduce his encumbrance to light). And the latter might actually be preferable.
But like I said, I haven't run it through Hero Lab yet, so I could be missing something.
Please change the item to Breastplate +1-slick. The items were there as a reward to the group for being stuck on an island with no market available.
I know it seems a little cheesy but I don't really care...everyone in the group will have at least 1 very useful item before you leave the island.
That includes you Mihai and Tragershen...I haven't forgotten you :]
I'll update the Google site over the weekend, but that's no reason for anyone to wait to discuss the gear assignments here in ooc.
Mihai has only just realised that he has been spelling his deity's name wrong for some time... he begs for divine forgiveness from Sinashakti...
Anton takes the slick +1 breastplate.
Corb takes the mithril chainmail.
Nim would like the belt. :)
Nim could take the ioun stone and pass the amulet of natural armor back to Corb.
Mihai the divine scroll.
Trag/Aedalis/Corb copy/learn/etc the other two scrolls and then pass them on to whoever wants to carry them.
Tragershen the wand.
Thoughts?
So you're thinking we're in a Planescape belief is truth situation?
Excellent good... clearly the next step is a hand puppet :P
Everyone okay with Nim's suggested treasure split? What about the Belt...roll off? :]
So I am trying to figure out how to work in your bonus AP feat. Gelik is the last person to be able to offer one but I am not seeing a good way to make the conncection. We can either start working towards it or if you are okay waiting there is a much better opportunity to get you one in a more organic manner near the beginning of the next AP but only if you are okay waiting? If you do wait I will make it up to you with a bit of extra juice on the Feat I create for you...maybe even a new domain power?
Any thoughts?
Mihai has only just realised that he has been spelling his deity's name wrong for some time... he begs for divine forgiveness from Sinashakti...
Don't worry your deity was okay with your cursing someone else...now you are really going to be in trouble.
Perfectly fine with the split.
I am fine with that division.
Tragershen can learn every spell on the arcane scrolls right? Happy for him to scribe them and i'll cherry pick which ones are available to witches.

Don't forget Corb. :)
You guys will have to work out the process. Corb can copy from Trag's spellbook... But the scroll is consumed and not available to Aedalis. If Aedalis teaches them to his familiar then they are also consumed and no copy for Trag/Corb. Does Trag have the resources to rescribe the spells Aedalis wants back out to scroll form?
Tragershen will take the wand then and the arcane scrolls. And yes, when resources allow, he will scribe scrolls for Aedalis for those that are on his spell list and allow Corbius to copy those that are on his list. Unless, of course, circumstances dictate he has to use one or more of the spells in encounters.
Sounds good to me.
Updated and revised proposal! 8)
Anton: +1 slick breastplate
Corb: mithril chainmail & amulet of natural armor +1 (from Nylithati via Nim)
Mihai: mithril scroll tube & divine scroll & +1 chain shirt (from The Nightvoice via Corb)
Nim: dusty rose ioun stone
Tragershen: wand of bear's endurance & both arcane scrolls & acid flask (from Anton, once the wiz gets around to asking for it)
Anton or Nim: belt of giant strength + 2 -- and I'm cool with a dance-off, uh, I mean dice-off. ;)
Anyone size Medium: +1 longspear (from The Nightvoice, since I still don't have anyone down as using it, and it seems like a waste)
Anyone size Medium: +1 dagger (from The Brine Demon via Anton, since he has way too much cool stuff to just keep it in case of DR/magic)
As a footnote, here's my breakdown of how much scribing materials it would take for Tragershen to make scrolls for Aedalis, if he knows the spells. (Not saying whether he should make the scrolls, or even whether he should learn the spells from the scrolls he has -- just how much scribing materials it would take.)
Azlanti foresight (already known): 12.5 gp
Azlanti glue (already known): 75 gp
Burning hands (already known): 12.5 gp
Comprehend languages (already known): 12.5 gp
Detect secret doors (scroll from pirate treasure): 12.5 gp
Fly (scroll from pirate treasure): 187.5 gp
Glitterdust (already known): 75 gp
Summon swarm (scroll from Azlanti workshop): 75 gp
P.S. I forget. Whatever came of Aedalis capturing Malikadna's monkey familiar? Also, how much has Tragershen used of the 300 gp worth of scribing materials that he got from Malikadna's workshop?
Hmm.
Doh!
Congratulations. :p
Nim: dusty rose ioun stone & belt of giant strength + 2
Okay, go ahead and split it all up and mark your character sheets. You do have a couple of hours in the evening in case Tragershen wanted to write any spells into his book...
No moe treasure for Nim for the rest of the Island adventure... :]
As an aside, I'm satisfied that I've figured how to salvage Anton's build, now that I understand the system much better. He'll end up similar to a switch-hitter ranger in combat ability in just a few levels, albeit still as a sneaky lock-picker instead of a nature-worshiping spell-caster (due to the trapper archetype).

Stone and belt added. Stats/sheet updated.
Don't forget to add the amulet Corb.

Now we only need to live that long! :D
C'mon, I'm salvaging a suboptimal build here! Maybe I should've actually called for a dance-off. :p
You know I only tease... :)
LOL!!
You have got to be effing kidding me!!
How are you getting a +3 to dance?
I just assumed it was an untrained Dex check, but never mind, it's Cha of course. So you still win, even though Anton is slightly more likeable. :p
Meanwhile in an alternate dimension/timeline...
Nim takes the belt and parades around holding it over his head WWE style... before donning it and posing for all to see! :D
You know you could probably get Nim disqualified... he is sleeping with one of the judges after all. :D
Anton's eyes narrow, as he silently vows to not only win the next dance-off for a belt, but then show it off with Elvis-like hip moves.
Aedalis took a bunch of spells from Malikadna's familiar in exchange for its freedom.
Ah yes, I remember now.
I'm just glad that I won't have to put anything in my ears that was heated in a small intestine! :o
I finished updating the party loot log. Treasury report: Anton is now carrying 5225 gp worth of platinum, jewelry, and gems. (All of the normal gold pieces and lesser coins are either in a battered footlocker in the lighthouse, or still in the smuggler's treasure pit.) Also, I'm assuming that Nim is carrying the bejeweled masterwork cutlass and scabbard, since it's worth 575 (and too heavy for Anton).
It is excellent good that Ishirou is wielding a masterwork cutlass (scimitar stats) as we hunt down the singing bird's ruin. <nods sagely>
I didn't forget you in thread Tragershen! - just that Mihai only has two arms ;)
@DM Stephen: How about Horse Master? Not for several levels from now, of course. Just generating ideas for planning purposes.
I swear Nim just wants to talk more now we're wearing earplugs :)
What's that?!
:)
