It's probably also worth mentioning if this all pans out this way, Aeronniell will end up a little over 1000g after buying the masterwork composite longbow:
1517g - 500g = +1017g
She's fine with a loan to someone if they're short on getting a +1 weapon.
Ialda? Baolo?
OK we'll go with that distribution from now.
It would be grand for Xarethi to chime in and at least say, "looks good".
Here's the update:
If we kept the wand of knock, chain shirt and amulet but SOLD the buckler, the party pool was up to 6270g.
Instead we kept the buckler so the party pool is 5692g
This means 1432.125g per person, among 4 people.
Why is the party pool 5692gp? You have 4000 in gold and are selling the +1 dagger (for 1151 gp) and +1 rapier (sells for 1160 gp) = 6311gp.
Your post here said:
+1 dagger (sells for 1151 gp)
+1 chain shirt (sells for 625 gp)
+1 buckler (Rowyna) (sells for 577, 5 sp)
+1 rapier (Rowyna) (sells for 1160 gp)
And since I like even numbers, add 500 gp more of jewelry found on Rowyna in the form of a bracelet adding up to total of 4000 gp (will make even split of 1000 gp per person)
I took that as 4000gp for that lot which included both said dagger and rapier.
Prior to selling anything in 2013, our pool was 1119gp as summarized by Baolo here
This took us to 5119gp.
However we kept the chain shirt and the buckler, so we didn't actually get 1202.5gp for that (625 + 577.5)
Back down to 3916.5gp in the pool.
Then there's the masterwork gear on our fallen companions which sells for 376gp.
I get 4292.5gp in the pool this time through calculating.
Or 1073gp each. :(
In my post here I counted selling the dagger a second time to get up to 6270gp. Lucendar's 4000gp, our original 1119gp and the 1151gp from the +1 dagger (which shouldn't have counted a second time)
This means all my calculations prior to this post were 1151gp too high for the pool.
Ah, I see your confusion. No, the 4000 gp was in apart from the +1 dagger and the +1 rapier and whatever funds the party had from before. The 4000gp is the treasure you found in coins and jewelry in Rowyna's chest and on her person.
Final tally:
1119 gp
4000 gp
376gp (MW gear on Chez and Kowaru)
1151gp (+1 dagger)
1160gp (+1 rapier)
Total = 7806
Party share = 1951.5
Now, go spend your coins!
Do we want to invest in another Wand or Two of CLW? Ialda has a bit over 900 gp after her purchases to kick in.
I will never argue with more wealth!
Shopping time.
500gp off the top for the masterwork composite longbow (+1 Str) for sure.
I'll probably be able to help kick in for the wand. Given that we don't have enough yet to pay for +1 enchantments, it will probably leave some extra gp.
181gp originally
+1915.5gp from Lucendar's post

Total GP Remaining:

At the moment, Aeronniell has 1336.5gp remaining. I'm also good with loaning someone gold for an enchant this level. Ialda or Baolo, if you have 900gp and want the loan, there's funds for a +1 weapon enchant (2000gp).
Would it be better to get a plus one weapon or buy a couple more CLW wands? For Ialda I think another wand with her gold might be better spent. Of course, we are getting to the level we might need some magic weapons. What does the group think?
Currently I have no plans to increase in cleric levels, so its looking like the CLW wands are going to be our safety net. Gruug will be able to help out in that capacity though, as he has his 1d6 healing bursts and his domain spell will always be CLW. All this access to CLW is great, but we are getting close to the point where CMW will grow in demand.
Of course, the quicker we can kill things to stop them from doing damage, all the better, so that helps to support getting a weapon enchant.
Gruug does have money for about half a CLW wand, but we will probably need to roleplay that aspect since he is a new member to join the party.

You or Ialda for sure!
Items Baolo would be interested in
Salve of Slipperiness (mild interest)
Ring of Protection +1 (mild interest, better on front line though)
Boots of Striding and Springing (significant interest)
Someone should probably hang onto that staff of passage. The one time use of passwall might be very very helpful at some point.
Potions, I'm sure we'll just split up (one each for emergencies).
Ok selling everything else.
Aero - note that I have a +1 bow and a masterwork composite greenwood bow and you have the darkwood composite bow which I believe also is masterwork. If we're both planning on enchanting the masterwork bows, the +1 bow at some point becomes obsolete (unless someone else wants it).
Ok, so based on Ialda's post in Discussion, she wants the +1 great club and will put back in a +1 rapier.
Sounds like she agrees with belt and ring going to Gruug and her, but need to work out who gets what.
Also agree with her Gameplay comment about a couple more CLW wands.
If Gruug wants the strength belt, that's fine with me. Ialda's AC is so bad, it might keep her alive a bit longer if she gets the ring, assuming everyone else is cool with her taking it.
Looking at the staff of passage, is Ialda the only one that can use it? Maybe Left Ear can use it. I agree that it should be kept. This a big loot item, once we get high enough level to recharge it.
Makes sense to me to have Gruug take the belt and you the ring. Not sure about Left-Ear and the staff. He could certainly get a UMD up high enough, but it's probably more a matter of figuring out who is safest to carry it around for now.
Aero and Left-ear - any items stand out for either of you?
Almost all the loot's better on a front-liner if it's kept. The only item of possible use is the ring, but I'd give that to Ialda in a heart-beat as it should be rarer for Aero to be in melee, Devoraz being an exceptional case.
I'm happy hawking most of what folks don't use and splitting the gold for things more specific to each of us.
Ok, sounds like we almost have our list. Just need Left-Ear to weigh in.
Yep, nothing here really strikes my fancy other than grabbing one of the potions, but I think that goes without saying.
Ok, so I think we've just been even splitting what we sell and letting the items keep fall where they may. If anyone has a concern with that, go ahead and holler.
Here's where I have things falling
+1 greatclub (Ialda)
Salve of Slipperiness (Baolo)
Ring of Protection +1 (Ialda)
Wand of Mage Armor (Ialda)
Wand of Shocking Grasp (Ialda)
Belt of Mighty Strength (Gruug)
Staff of Passage (Ialda or Left Ear)
5 potions of CMW (1 each)
Boots of Striding and Springing (Baolo)
Sell
+1 rapier (used to belong to Ialda) (sells for 1160)
+1 handaxe (sells for 1153)
+1 handaxe (sells for 1153)
+1 hide armor (sells for 582, 5 sp)
+1 heavy wooden shield (sells for 578, 5 sp)
Goggle of minute seeing (sell for 1250)
+1 keen dagger (sells for 4151)
+1 scimitar (sells for 1157, 5 sp)
95 gp
100 gp from crown (I always forget if that sells full value or half, counted as full here)
Total
11380 gp, 5 sp
Shares 2276, 1 sp
EDIT: +100 pp each for a share of 3276, 1 sp
I might be forgetting some things from the cove, but this will get everyone started.
Let left ear hang onto the staff of passage.
I've got Ialda updated with the new gear.
Ok, I went back to the cove posts and came up with
2 sets of MW leather armor (sell for 80 gp each, 160 gp total)
Some books that we haven't appraised
5 50 gp rubies (250 gp)
A backpack with 600 gp
A masterwork rapier (160 gp)
A 20 gp emerald clasp (20 gp)
A 10 gp silver locket (10 gp)
10 gp loose (10 gp)
30 gp of silver bars (30 gp)
So that comes to an additional 1240 for 248 gp each
Total share now 3524 gp, 1 sp
Does not include books
Note: I also did not note that we found anything on Krilla or the stilt people. Krilla might be included in the list Lucendar provided and I think we left the stilt people too quick to get anything there.
Aero, that should be enough gold for Baolo to upgrade his masterwork, greenwood composite bow to have a +1 enhancement and the adaptive property.
Do you want to take the +1 ivory bow or would you rather upgrade your bow and either put the +1 ivory bow up for grabs or put it into the kitty?
I'll grab the hand-me now down for now, I'm still not certain if Aeronniell will boost her strength at any future point - it's more likely that she will go more caster-focused and use the bow as a back-up with Baolo about.
Sounds good. +1 bow is yours then.
Thinking about my purchases. I've got roughly 4400 gold, and a magic weapon now. My AC is crappy, but it's going to take a lot to improve that.
Should I just buy a Strength belt for 4k and be done with it? Buying a couple more AC items will still only get my AC to 18. I'm thinking that increasing my hit and damage will be worth more, (especially since Ialda plans on raging and using natural weapons most of the time)so long as you all can keep Ialda standing during a fight.
I'll kick in the rest of my gold for part of a CLW wand.
I could use everyone's thoughts since I'm not normally a front liner.
Apparently I violated my "rule prime" when I rolled Aeronniell and made a character with under a 14 Con.
I debated endlessly about playing with fire on her and continuing to play a 10 Con or addressing her biggest weakness with a belt of con since she has over 4000gp to spend now.
I went ahead and grabbed the belt.
I also picked up the following scrolls for using on the party in the respective emergency: remove fear, remove sickness, calm emotions, remove paralysis, and lesser restoration.

REMAINING 57.6g
Ok, I haven't heard an objection, so I'll go ahead and buy a strength belt. That will leave me right around 450 gp left over. I'd be happy to kick in 400 of that for part of a CLW wand...just someone confirm they are using it and I'll mark it off my sheet.
