[D&D] PerrySimm says, "Log on."

[D&D] jnc asks, "Woah, were we gonna play today?"

[D&D] Jota says, "Did you"

[D&D] boucher says, "Ah, that's right."

[D&D] GM says (to jnc), "just for a bit to cover some loose ends"

[D&D] Jota asks, "Er, did you jsut start before the log started, or is that unconnected?"

Fincul has arrived.

[D&D] Kaylee says, "A let's-talk-treasure bit."

Fincul says, "Hi."

[D&D] jnc says, "Good timing - the guys I was going out with tonight just went for supper, and I told them I'm coming with them if this test I"m running works."

[D&D] Fincul asks, "So should we assume that we have the time and money to Identify everything?"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "So I have a half hour or so."

[D&D] Onyx exclaims, "Hello!"

[D&D] GM says (to Fincul), "I think you can cart it all back to town, yeah"

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "Including the library?"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Heh."

[D&D] GM says, "the library, admittedly, might take a bit more time"

[D&D] Fincul says (to Skal), "Well, I wasn't figuring we'd need to Identify most of the library, since most of the magic in it would be spellbooks."

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Are there spell books in the library?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Fincul would be happy to spend as much time as is needed to repair the books in it, of course."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "I meant carting-back-to-town."

[D&D] GM says (to Kaylee), "yeah, some"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Woot."

[D&D] GM says, "anyway, let's see"

[D&D] Skalheth says (to GM), "I'm gonna spend a few days in the swamp befriending new critters."

[D&D] Fincul says, "And once the books are in good enough shape to be carried, we can probably afford to hire some porters to carry them back to town for us in crates."

[D&D] GM says (to Skalheth), "yeah, good point"

[D&D] Onyx asks (of Skalheth), "Need a new octopus?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Since manual labor seems to be pretty cheap in the D&D economy."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Yea verily some Raz worshippers."

[D&D] GM says, "if anybody else has other bookkeeping (spell research, talking to priests) they can take care of this too"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "A pet octopus would be kinda cool, but I'll probably just look for more vipers."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "I guess we need to roll hit points."

[D&D] Fincul says, "Oh, and I want to know how the innkeeper fared with all that rope we sent him."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "I hope I can find my old hit points in the earlier log, since I forgot to write 'em down ;-)"

[D&D] Onyx says, "I'd like to get my axe enchanted or blessed."

[D&D] GM says, "but in terms of treasure -- let's see"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Although they're pretty vulnerable... perhaps I'll decide I don't want to get attached to critters that will break my heart again."

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Onyx), "Yeah, ditto spear."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Hmm, I might want to research a Shillelagh variant that applies to spears."

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Can you get an item that's both a masterwork and magic +1?"

[D&D] GM says, "I count it as: in the main temple area, a thousand gold in gems and the platinum bar; some magical dust (of illusion), and some magical boots (of elvenkind)"

[D&D] Fincul asks (of Skalheth), "Are you able to pick a single, larger snake?"

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Kaylee), "All magic +1 weapns are assumed to be masterwork."

[D&D] GM says (to Kaylee), "the masterwork is subsumed in the +1, so effectively no"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Aha."

[D&D] GM says, "yeah, what he said"

[D&D] GM says, "let's see -- plus the gold candlesticks, which you may or may not want to give back to the Raz guys"

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Fincul), "Yeah, I get 3 HD of creatures to befriend, and it's assumed I do it during an adventure, so it depends on what the GM says I meet."

[D&D] Fincul says, "If it weren't masterwork already, then you probably wouldn't be able to get that particular axe enchanted; you'd need a new one."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "I say Raz can have 'em."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "So if the swamp naturally supports 3 HD snakes, I can befriend one."

[D&D] Fincul says, "We should give back the candlestick, even though they said we could keep the treasure, since it's kinda special."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Ditto octupus/giant lizard/etc."

[D&D] GM says, "in the dining area, a scrollcase (holding an Aid scroll), four silver wine goblets (200 gp total)"

[D&D] Onyx says (to Fincul), "Right. Agreed."

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "I guess I'm the only one that can use the Aid scroll, huh?"

[D&D] GM says, "in the library, interesting research books, twelve arcane spells of 1st to 3rd level (mostly necromancy), and a wand of vampiric touch with six charges left"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Ooh."

[D&D] Fincul asks, "Do wands work for everyone, unlike scrolls?"

[D&D] (from Skalheth) Fincul says, "Sweet. Necromancy. I'd look good in black..."

[D&D] GM says (to Fincul), "no, they're the same as scrolls in terms of usage, although they don't trigger AoOs"

[D&D] Onyx says, "I prefer being not-dead, not un-dead."

[D&D] GM says, "Onyx is in luck as one of the skeletons in the draining hallway had a +1 greataxe"

[D&D] Fincul says, "So I guess I'll take that, in terms of dividing the booty, since I'm the only one who can use it."

[D&D] Fincul says, "(The wand, I mean.)"

[D&D] Kaylee exclaims, "Yay Onyx!"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Double-Axe Onyx."

[D&D] Onyx exclaims, "Whoohoo!"

[D&D] Onyx breaks into dance. Everybody move!

[D&D] Fincul asks, "If a spell requires a touch attack, does a wand of that spell also require a touch attack?"

[D&D] (from Kaylee) GM says, "And Kaylee is in luck, since the warlock had on +2 boots of kicking."

[D&D] Skalheth gets down.

[D&D] GM says, "and then the main treasure: 2,000 gp worth of ancient coins; precious items (a gem-studded crown; a finely-carved copper bowl; a statuette of a dancer; a gold scepter with a diamond on top) worth 4,000 gp in total"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Everybody in the house, lemme hear you say `Hurr!`"

[D&D] GM says (to Fincul), "I think so, yeah"

[D&D] GM says, "hee hee"

[D&D] Onyx exclaims, "hee!"

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Oh, what about that staff?"

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Fincul), "Yeah, I assume you have to touch people with the wand."

[D&D] Fincul says (to Skal), "I'm sure you know that TSD."

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Fincul), "Not to an orc. `Touch people with the wand` is far too pansy."

[D&D] GM says, "and then beyond that, various magic items: the +1 ghost touch dagger Skalheth grabbed; the staff (of unknown powers, though it radiates strong necromantic magic); six potions (2 each of bull's strength and cat's grace; 1 of endure elements; 1 of darkvision)"

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "Ooh, ghost touch?"

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "What's that do?"

[D&D] GM says (to Skalheth), "essentially, can hit incorporeal opponents as normal"

[D&D] Fincul asks, "How about we give 10% of the non-magical-items treasure (coins, gems, crowns, goblets, etc.) to the Raz-ites, for the temple-rebuilding fund?"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Aha."

[D&D] Onyx says, "ooooooh, nice."

[D&D] GM says, "(and can be manipulated by them, although that doesn't come up much)"

[D&D] Skalheth says (to GM), "Hell, I'd like to see a ghost with a giant ghost-touch axe."

[D&D] (from Kaylee) GM adds, "Mua ha ha."

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Can we find out what the gem had been for?"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Anyway, I'd like at least one bull strength potion, to replace the one I used in the fight, but I already took the scroll of Aid and the boots."

[D&D] Fincul says, "So, Darkvision should go to one of the three humans."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "If anyone else wants the dagger, it's all theirs, but if not I'll keep it too."

[D&D] Fincul asks, "Also, we still have the amulet, right? Is it intrinsically worth anything to an antiques collector?"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Kaylee should get some Cat's Grace, since she uses Dex for her attacks."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Oh, right--at first I thought you meant the Raz one."

[D&D] GM says, "a plain bronze ring of freedom of movement, and a cloak of resistance (+2 to all saves)"

[D&D] Onyx asks, "what does the freedom of movement entail?"

[D&D] GM says, "oh, yes, and that amulet -- worth 250 on its own"

[D&D] Kaylee asks (of Skalheth), "Ah, right--Cat's grace is + to dex?"

[D&D] GM says (to Onyx), "immunity to spells which restrict movement"

[D&D] GM says, "cat's grace is +1d4+1 dex, yeah"

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "For how long?"

[D&D] GM says (to Onyx), "so hold person, slow, web"

[D&D] GM says, "1 hour/level, so 3 hours"

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "What about the nature spell that snares you--entwine?"

[D&D] Fincul asks (of GM), "Should we read those cash values as being before or after we had stuff identified inasmuch as they've been identified?"

[D&D] GM says, "yeah, entangle too"

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Per my level, or of the level of the spell?"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Entangle, that's it."

[D&D] Onyx says, "ah."

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "What about a summoned octopus?"

[D&D] GM says (to Fincul), "sorry, right, so you should probably knock off around 600 of the total since you have to identify things"

[D&D] Fincul says, "(I dunno how much we worked out by 'research', or whatever.)"

[D&D] GM says, "er, 600? sorry, 300"

[D&D] GM says (to Skalheth), "I think that wouldn't count -- I think it's basically anything you'd get spell resistance against"

[D&D] Fincul asks, "And how much of the initial 1000 has been spent?"

[D&D] GM says, "mm, I don't remember for sure -- call it 200, say"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "I spent my initial left-over cash for my gloves."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Cool. Another advantage of octopus over entagle."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "...the main advantage being looking cool."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "And there was some left-over cash from delivering that scroll."

[D&D] Onyx says, "I think I have the axe (assuming no one else can use it?)."

[D&D] Fincul asks, "So we've found about 7450gp and spent about 500gp. So how about 750gp for the Raz-ites?"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Ok, I'm probably gonna buy a +1 spear (I assume I have enough cash), so somebody without magic weapons should take this dagger. Probably Fincul."

[D&D] Fincul says (to Kaylee), "Oh yeah. So say we have 7500 even."

[D&D] GM says, "I should point out, by the way, that along with the other masterwork weapons in the crate and the +1 shortsword which onyx took, there was also a +1 dagger in the crate"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "I'll be buying a spear, and possible a few potions, and giving the rest of my share to the Razites."

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Oh, there were masterwork weapons in the crate?"

[D&D] Fincul asks, "Should we divide up the items separately from the cash?"

[D&D] GM says, "right, at least some of them were"

[D&D] Onyx asks, "So there are two magical daggers and one magical short-sword?"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Ah, neat."

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Are we going to sell them off, or wait for someone to come looking for them?"

[D&D] Fincul says (to Kay), "I'd suggest the latter."

[D&D] Fincul says, "Although I see nothing wrong with keeping them, er, from getting dusty meanwhile."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Heh."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "The standard is to go around having everyone pick a permanent item, and then do wands and scrolls, and then split the cash evenly, giving extra shares to anyone who came up short on items."

[D&D] Fincul says (to Skal), "Fair enough."

[D&D] Onyx says, "sounds good to me."

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Should we evaluate the costs of the items?"

[D&D] GM says, "I will look out for Arly, I guess, but probably he won't mind picking last"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "So for permanents, I've got boots, Onyx got a big axe, Fincul got a wand. Kaylee and Arly don't have anything yet. (Did I miss anyone?)"

[D&D] GM says, "(famous last words)"

[D&D] Fincul asks, "Should we consider some items as 'group property', rather than belonging to an individual?"

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Oh, and we should deduct the cost of the potions we used from the loot to replace them?"

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Fincul), "I may or may not be coming back, so I say we assign everything to an individual."

[D&D] Kaylee says (to Fincul), "I was thinking that, too."

[D&D] Onyx says, "Maybe the potions, which could be used as needed."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Like the dust of illusion, say."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "That way I can take my share with me if I go."

[D&D] Fincul asks (of Skal), "The wand's a permanent?"

[D&D] GM says, "the wand is fairly low on charges, I should point out"

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "Oh, it is?"

[D&D] Fincul asks (of GM), "Hmm. Also, if we did the round of identifying... what came up with the staff?"

[D&D] Fincul says (to Skal), "Six. Out of fifty originally, I think."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Hmm. That's always tricky."

[D&D] GM says (to Fincul), "unidentifiable, except for a strong necromantic aura"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "It's clearly more than a potion, but less than a sword."

[D&D] GM says (to Fincul), "not something that can be invoked directly, you don't think"

[D&D] Fincul says (to GM), "Ooh."

[D&D] Fincul says, "I'd like to do research on that in the warlord's library at some point, then."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "I'm willing to work up the costs of the items on a spreadsheet or something."

[D&D] GM says, "(Oh, and to Kaylee's question earlier, you were also able to identify the smashed gem as the focus of the draining system which also corrupted nearby dead bodies into undead, apparently as part of some possibly-flawed scheme to give the warlord life after death)"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Oooh, neat."

[D&D] GM asks, "well, what's left? Onyx's +1 shortsword (no longer needed, I assume), the two daggers (one ghost touch, both +1), the cloak of resistance (+2 to saves) and the ring of free movement?"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "The ring seems Kaylee-esque."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Onyx stepped out, but the cloak sounded neat to her."

[D&D] GM says, "plus the wand, right"

[D&D] GM says, "well, Arly has a magic sword already, so would be happy with the ring, or I guess he could take the swordsword and try and exchange it for something else in town"

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "Isn't Arly a ranger?"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Cause the longsword/shortsword combo would seem to fit."

[D&D] GM says, "yeah (although he's the monte cook variant, but I guess -- right)"

[D&D] GM says, "this is trye"

[D&D] GM says, "er, true"

[D&D] Fincul says, "If we end up with a dagger left over I'll take it. But that's only if everyone else already has the weapons they want."

[D&D] GM says, "perhaps he should ditch his shield"

[D&D] GM asks, "ok, anyone else want the shortsword?"

[D&D] Onyx says (to Fincul), "AFAIC, you can have the dagger."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "We could sell the dagger too, of course."

[D&D] GM says, "true"

[D&D] GM says, "Skalheth might want to try and get a magic spear in exchange"

[D&D] Fincul says (to Kay), "I was just thinking that I don't think I have an actual magic weapon. Although since I have spells, it's not a huge issue."

[D&D] GM says, "there are actually two daggers left"

[D&D] GM says, "so Fincul could take one and you could sell the other"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Ifyou can use it, go for it."

[D&D] Fincul says, "Well. There's the necro staff, which might well behave as a magic weapon, actually."

[D&D] Onyx asks, "Didn't Skalheth get the ghost-touch dagger? There's two more after that, or that was one of the two?"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "If you wanted to use it, natch."

[D&D] Fincul asks, "What were the magic weapons from the original batch, again?"

[D&D] Fincul asks, "+1 shortsword, +1 dagger, and that's it, right?"

[D&D] GM says, "right"

[D&D] GM says, "I had assumed Skalheth had thrown the ghost touch dagger back into the pot, but possibly not"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "I picked it up during the fight, but I don't particularly want to keep it."

[D&D] GM says, "there we go then"

[D&D] GM says, "so either Fincul takes it or you sell that and Fincul takes the other one"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "I see no reason *not* to take the ghost touch one."

[D&D] Fincul says, "Sure. Who knows, maybe the staff will turn me into a ghost :)"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Yeah we need more ways for ghosts to kill us in our sleep ;-)"

[D&D] Fincul says, "(Anyone mind if I take the staff, BTW? I'm assuming I'm the only one who's likely to use it.)"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "I assumed we'd want to destroy it."

[D&D] Fincul says, "I want to research it before we consider destroying it."

[D&D] Onyx asks, "Fincul gets the staff and the +1 dagger? Sure. Why destroy it?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "I'm fine calling it a group item if my friends don't want to let me wield it, though."

[D&D] GM says, "that takes care of the permanent items, then; were you calling the potions community property? somebody should write them down on their sheet regardless"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "I'll take the cat potions, since, as we said, dex."

[D&D] Fincul says, "There's also the pouch of dust, which I've been holding on to, but not out of any personal claim to it."

[D&D] GM says, "true, plus the scroll of aid (which I assume Skalheth takes), and the wand (which I assume Fincul takes)"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Which I can keep holding onto if no one cares, or can gladly hand over if anyone else wants to hold them."

[D&D] GM says, "perhaps Onyx should hold the bull's strength potions"

[D&D] Fincul asks, "Was it Arly who got the shortsword, BTW?"

[D&D] GM says, "and Arly will hold endure elements and darkvision, unless someone else wants to"

[D&D] GM says (to Fincul), "yeah"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "I'd like one bull strength, since I'm sort of a combat-oriented druid and buffs are helpful."

[D&D] GM says, "good point"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "But I think there's enough gold for me to buy my own."

[D&D] GM says, "sure, if you want"

[D&D] GM asks, "ok then -- and are you fine with just dividing the gold equally, or do you want to compensate some people for having got less/more stuff out of this?"

[D&D] Onyx asks, "who wound up with the cloak?"

[D&D] GM says, "you did"

[D&D] Onyx exclaims, "whee!"

[D&D] Fincul asks, "Who got the ring and the cloak?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Timing.,"

[D&D] GM says, "Kaylee took the ring, unless anyone objected"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Let me paste then, and tell me if it's accurate:"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "I'll ask later if Arly's interested."

[D&D] Fincul says, "(Incoming bomb)"

[D&D] Fincul | Dust of Illusion - Fincul (just holding)
[D&D] Fincul | Boots of Elvenkind - Skalheth
[D&D] Fincul | Books, including spellbooks - Storage
[D&D] Fincul | Wand of Vampiric Touch (6 charges) - Fincul
[D&D] Fincul | Dagger of Ghost Touch, +1 - Fincul
[D&D] Fincul | Staff (something necromantic) - Storage
[D&D] Fincul | Potion of Bull's Strength - Onyx
[D&D] Fincul | Potion of Bull's Strength - Skalheth

[D&D] Fincul | Shortsword +1 - Arly
[D&D] Fincul | Dagger +1, traded for Spear +1 - Skalheth

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Axe."

[D&D] Onyx says, "Magic +1 axe"

[D&D] Fincul asks, "Ah, right. A straight +1 Greataxe, Onyx -- right?"

[D&D] GM says, "yeah"

[D&D] Onyx says, "yup, but this one is magical, whereas my last one wasn't. I'm not clear on what constitutes the difference, but I'm happy about it anyway. :-)"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Oh, and the Aid scroll, with Skalheth."

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "Woah, a half-orc wearing boots of elvenkind?"

[D&D] GM says (to Onyx), "well, it's +1 damage, and can hit some monsters that are less affected by normal weapons"

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Onyx), "The masterwork axe gives you +1 to hit, but can't hit magical creatures."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "The +1 axe gives +1 to both hit and damage."

[D&D] GM says, "also, looks snazzier"

[D&D] Onyx exclaims, "neat - even better!"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Hmm, that's a little thin for Arly."

[D&D] Fincul asks, "So, do we want to divide the cash evenly, or do we want to take into account item costs?"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "My sensibilities are to take into account item costs."

[D&D] Onyx says, "It doesn't matter to me."

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Kaylee), "I think adding up actual item costs is overkill."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "But Kaylee wouldn't care ;-)"

[D&D] GM says, "(FWIW, the ring of free movement is worth as much as the other items combined)"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Looking at the list, me and Onyx each got 2 permanent items, and everyone else got one."

[D&D] GM says, "(but that may not reflect actual value in use)"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Really? hunh."

[D&D] GM says, "well, it's a ring, and a 4th-level spell, I think"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Ok, and count that for 2, so me, Onyx and Kaylee got more than Fincul and Arly."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "So I say we just give them a double share of treasure."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "...unless you consider the *entire library* to be Fincul's, in which case only Arly came up short."

[D&D] GM says, "well, Fincul's getting a bunch of spells out of this, but I don't know if you count that as normal wizard advancement or not"

[D&D] Fincul asks, "Mmm. Yeah, I don't really know (mechnically speaking) how those new spells will work for me -- can I assume that I take 20 on a bunch of Read Magic rolls over the course of a week and now have them all as if they were in my spellbook, or do I only get the ones I scribe by hand, either by levelling up or whatever?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "If the former, it should definitely count as a very nice item, making Arly the odd man out."

[D&D] GM says, "it looks like you can find out what all the spells are for free (by casting read magic) and then try and learn each one -- you can't take 20 or 10 on them, but you can try again after gaining a rank of spellcraft"

[D&D] Fincul says, "If the latter, it's effectively just like a membership in a mage guild with a fairly strong necromancy library, which probably wouldn't add in the same way."

[D&D] GM says, "hmm, point -- Fincul's going to have to pay to transcribe the spells, so probably he should get the double share also"

[D&D] Fincul asks (of GM), "Once I've succeeded at reading each one, can I use it as if it were my own spellbook?"

[D&D] Onyx asks, "Would Arly have any interest in my original (non-magical) +1 axe?"

[D&D] Fincul says (to GM), "Aha."

[D&D] GM says (to Onyx), "hmm, I don't think so, since he's now got the two swords -- you can keep it as a backup or give it to the deserving poor or something"

[D&D] Fincul says (to GM), "In that case, I agree."

[D&D] Onyx says, "okay."

[D&D] Fincul says (to Onyx), "Or you could sell it, and add the gold to your share to buy more toys."

[D&D] Fincul says, "(Since I'm not sure if we want to encourage the poor to wield weapons of destruction :) )"

[D&D] GM asks, "ok, so how much gold was there to divide, after selling the items and giving a share to the Raz priesthood?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "6250, if we give them 10% off the top."

[D&D] Onyx says, "Sure, selling my original axe sounds fine."

[D&D] Fincul says, "7000, if we want to each decide our donations separately."

[D&D] GM says, "the latter makes for easier math, since there's 7 shares"

[D&D] GM says, "so people getting single shares get 1000, or 900 if they give 10%"

[D&D] GM says, "Arly and Fincul get 2000, or 1800"

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "Um, so I can trade the +1 dagger straight up for a +1 spear?"

[D&D] Fincul says (to Skalheth), "The difference in price should be pretty small."

[D&D] GM says (to Skalheth), "I think you can trade it plus 250 gp"

[D&D] Onyx asks, "If I sell my axe, how much can I get for it?"

[D&D] GM says (to Onyx), "10 gold, maybe"

[D&D] Fincul says, "For masterwork? Huh."

[D&D] GM says, "oh, right, I was forgetting"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "All right, then. That leaves me with 750. I think I'll spend 250 on potions and scrolls (replaceing cures and such) and donate the other 500 to the Razites."

[D&D] GM says, "200 gold for the masterwork axe"

[D&D] Fincul asks, "Oh, yeah... did I use/give away any potions while I was idle?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "(Just so I can update my sheet and repurchase anything I need.)"

[D&D] GM says, "I believe you used one cure light wounds potion"

[D&D] Onyx exclaims, "sold!"

[D&D] GM says, "hee hee"

[D&D] Kaylee is going to go back to the glove vendor and see if she can trade up.

[D&D] GM says, "oh, yeah, there was also a cure moderate wounds potion in the main room of the tomb"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "This item trading is kind of exciting. Now I wanna play Diablo."

[D&D] GM says, "(if anyone has to go, it's fine, the group part's over. otherwise feel free to stick around and take care of character housekeeping)"

[D&D] GM says, "hee hee"

[D&D] Fincul asks, "Who gets the CWM, then?"

[D&D] Kaylee laughs.

[D&D] Fincul says, "Er, CMW."

[D&D] Fincul says, "Arly, I guess."

[D&D] GM says, "alrighty"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Since he got the short end of the stick earlier."

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "CWM?"

[D&D] Onyx says, "So can we go shopping between now and next session? (Is there a next session?)"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Right, we should tentatively schedule the next, too."

[D&D] GM says, "I'm hoping to play next week, but I'll check in on wednesday or so and see how people are doing"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "...Cure Wounds Medium? That's backwards."

[D&D] Fincul says (to Skalheth), "A valley or a knoll or something, I think."

[D&D] Fincul says (to Skal), "That's why I said 'Er, CMW' a moment later."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Here's my schedule: I have one player out of town next weekend, a different one out of town the weekend after, and a third out of town for two consecutive weekends after that."

[D&D] Fincul goes AFK again briefly, but will be back for housekeeping.

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Fincul), "Aha."

[D&D] Kaylee laughs.

[D&D] Skalheth says, "I didn't even notice that."

[D&D] Kaylee asks (of Skal), "So you're playing at all, or not?"

[D&D] Onyx says, "Typical role-playing scheduling nightmares ensue."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Oh, right, this is the weekend of the 4th."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "So, anyway, I'll be playing CoC at least two of those for weeks, but we haven't decided exactly which players to shaft yet."

[D&D] GM says (to Kaylee), "your existing gloves are worth 500; for 500 more, you can get ones that are weakly enchanted to hit magic things and have a +1 bonus to hit, but no damage bonus, or for 1500 more you can get ones that are the equivalent of a +1 weapon"

[D&D] GM says (to Kaylee), "or if you'd like to work out a deal, perhaps it could be arranged"

[D&D] GM says, "oh, this is the weekend of the fourth? hmm"

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "A deal?"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "So, anyway, keep me posted on when we're playing and I'll sort of decide on the spot whether to continue or not."

[D&D] GM says, "I guess I'll still check in on wednesday or so when I know what I'm doing"

[D&D] GM says, "I'm planning on being around, except on the 4th itself"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Same here, I think."

[D&D] Onyx says, "We're available most of the Holiday weekend, 'cept the 4th."

[D&D] GM says (to Kaylee), "well, if you don't have the 1500, you could try and exchange services or something for the gloves"

[D&D] Kaylee trades one plot hook for one pair of gloves.

[D&D] GM says, "heh"

[D&D] Onyx asks, "Did we have any money before this?"

[D&D] GM says, "I think you had a hundred or so, yeah"

[D&D] Onyx says, "Its going to take me a while to shop. Our connection here is slow."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "It's not a holiday for me."

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Kaylee), "I can lend you money instead of giving it to the Razites if you want."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Oh, hey, that'd be neat."

[D&D] Fincul returns.

[D&D] Fincul says, "I assume that when we tell our friends that we cleaned out the den of evil next to their shrine, they're so happy that they heal us all on the spot again? :)"

[D&D] Kaylee chuckles.

[D&D] GM says, "yeah, certainly, the Raz priesthood will be happy to take care of any basic cleric spells you need"

[D&D] GM says, "(from now on, at least for the near future)"

[D&D] Fincul says, "So how much are we giving them altogether in donations? 200 from Fincul."

[D&D] GM says, "if everyone gives a donation, you're giving 700"

[D&D] Onyx says, "I donate 10% of my share."

[D&D] Fincul says, "Hmm. So if we're going to be playing more before Ghogg's game, we should figure out our respective levellings up."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Like I said, I donate 500, unless Kaylee wants it (or anyone else who's short) in which case I donate 200 or so."

[D&D] GM says (to Fincul), "yeah, I'll put a bb up asking people to send me an updated sheet"

[D&D] GM says, "since this is also stat-gain level and stuff"

[D&D] Fincul says, "In a D&D economy, I guess 800gp can pay a lot of masons and painters and other artisans and crafts folk to work on the shrine."

[D&D] GM says, "I think so, yeah"

[D&D] GM says, "not to mention the work of the newly reinspired faithful"

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Wait, stat-gain level?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Oh, plus there's one barrel of wine we didn't -- er, I mean, the *undead* didn't topple over."

[D&D] GM says, "unless I misremember you can add a point ot one of your stats this level"

[D&D] GM says (to Fincul), "hee hee"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Nice."

[D&D] Fincul says, "Ah, right."

[D&D] Kaylee says (to Fincul), "Heh."

[D&D] Fincul asks (of GM), "Should I just go with your interpretation of bonus spells, or should we get confirmation from Jearl, Whizz, etc?"

[D&D] GM says, "if you find a cite saying I'm wrong I'm happy to change, but otherwise, yeah, go with what I said"

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "How often is that? Every 4 levels, or something?"

[D&D] GM says, "right"

Skalheth has arrived.

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Oh, and we get more skill points, too."

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "Hmm. 10 Int or 12 Dex?"

[D&D] GM says, "yeah, and hit points, and some classes give additional benefits"

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "Oh, or 14 Con?"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Yeah, I do 1d8 damage instead of 1d6."

[D&D] Kaylee asks (of Skal), "You're odd on all three of those?"

[D&D] Onyx asks, "should we roll HP now?"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Yep."

[D&D] GM says (to Onyx), "sure, if you want"

[D&D] Kaylee exclaims, "That's half your stats!"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Oh, wait."

[D&D] Skalheth says (to kaylee), "Exactly."

[D&D] GM says, "hee hee"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "I'm only odd on one, and Onyx is odd on none ;-)"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "I'm actually odd on all stats except my two 14's."

[D&D] Onyx says, "I'm even on all my stats, so in another 4 levels I'll get another bonus. Not quite like 7th Sea. ;-)"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "But I figure my 7 charisma is perfectly appropriate."

Onyx rolls 1 12-sided die: 12 | 12 + 2 = 14

GM says, "nice work"

[D&D] Kaylee exclaims, "Wow!"

[D&D] Onyx exclaims, "yay me!"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "woo."

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "What's a druid get again? d6? d8?"

[D&D] GM says, "d8, I'm pretty sure"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Must be d8, or I'd have maxed out..."

Skalheth rolls 8-sided dice: 5 | 5 + 1 = 6

Kaylee rolls 8-sided dice: 4 | 4 + 1 = 5

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Heh, exactly average."

Fincul rolls 1 4-sided die: 4 | 4 + 3 = 7

[D&D] Fincul says, "OK, this is just absurd."

[D&D] Fincul says, "*Good* absurd, of course."

[D&D] Fincul says, "But absurd, nonetheless."

[D&D] GM says, "hee hee"

[D&D] GM says, "you and your high con"

[D&D] Fincul says, "This is a level four wizard with 27 hit points."

[D&D] GM says (to Kaylee), "you can round that up to a 5 (well, 6)"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Oh? OK."

Onyx says (to Fincul), "High rolling wizard, eh? Not a bad thing."

[D&D] Fincul asks, "Should we make up a sixth sheet for 'stuff we own that no one's carrying'?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Like the crate, the spare weapons from it, the staff, the books..."

[D&D] Fincul says, "And possibly other things I've forgotten."

[D&D] Kaylee says (to Fincul), "Geez, I have 30 HP ;-)"

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Fincul), "You're tied with me."

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "What's your strength?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "14"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Damn, you have as good combat stats as I do."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Did you get anything low? ;-)"

[D&D] Fincul says (to Kay), "Yeah, Wis 8. And no Dex or Charisma bonuses either."

[D&D] Skalheth asks, "If I up my Con from +1 to +2, do I get 4 more hp or just 1?"

[D&D] GM says, "4"

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Sweet."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "So, 31 hp or 17 AC..."

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Hmm, do I take strength to 12 or dex 17?"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "(strength being my lone odd stat)"

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Kaylee), "I'd take str."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Cause I'm assuming we won't be playing for a whole 4 more levels."

[D&D] GM says, "right, what he said"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Right."

[D&D] GM says, "I am expecting this to run another three or four sessions"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Though the dex bonus from the potion might be helped."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Hm, good point."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "But, going from d6 damage to d8+1 damage would be nice."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "+2 if I get those gloves."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Hmm, since there's only 2 potions, though, that means it would help an average of once. So let's go up in strength."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "I'll go up in dex for 12th level ;-)"

[D&D] Onyx says, "I'm off. See y'all sometime around the 4th."

Onyx has disconnected.

Onyx goes home.

[D&D] Matthew exclaims, "Noooooooo!"

[D&D] Matthew exclaims, "I'm just now dediling! What did I miss?!"

[D&D] GM says, "aww"

[D&D] GM says, "sorry"

[D&D] GM says, "you missed a wild orgy of treasure division"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Booty."

[D&D] Matthew says, "I didn't know we were having a game tonight."

[D&D] Matthew sighs.

[D&D] Matthew asks, "Did Arly get anything?"

[D&D] GM says, "yeah, he got some stuff and some cash"

[D&D] Fincul says, "You now own a +1 shortsword, several potions (Endure Elements, Darkvision, and Cure Moderate WOunds), plus 200gp (minus however much you want to donate to the Razites.)"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Er, *2000* gp, I mean."

[D&D] Fincul says, "Also, it wasn't actually a game: we were just dividing up the booty from last Saturday's game."

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Matthew), "That shortsword's good if you want to throw away your shield and fight with a sword in each hand and be all cool like that."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Hmm, now I wanna go home and watch the LotR final battle again."

[D&D] Matthew says, "I'm just confused because I thought tonight was an OOC gab session about scheduling and stuff."

[D&D] Matthew says, "I honestly had no clue there was going to be any actual game-related stuff happening."

[D&D] Fincul says, "Tonight was an OOC gab session about dividing up treasure."

[D&D] Kaylee says (to Matthew), "There's also a Ring of Freedom of Movement I have, but if you were interested we could work something out. You got extra cash instead of extra items."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "(It makes you immune to spells that immobilize you like web or entangle or the like)"

[D&D] GM says, "ok, anyone have a question? otherwise I'll go eat dinner"

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Have you ever seen a grown man naked?"

[D&D] GM says, "hee hee"

[D&D] GM says, "I'll take that question to dinner"

GM has disconnected.

GM goes home.

[D&D] Fincul asks, "Hmm. I should probably ask: are there any spells you guys want me to try to acquire, in some form or another?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "(Either in my spellbook or on a scroll.)"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "'Win Game'"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Anything you might wish the party had access to that we don't."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Maybe kulcad."

[D&D] Fincul exclaims (at Kaylee), "If we got that one, we wouldn't get to play anymore!"

[D&D] Kaylee exclaims, "Oops!"

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Is there a list?"

[D&D] NewsBoy hollers, "Extra! Extra! inky has posted message 18, about 'updated sheets / next play', to the bulletin board! If you don't want to read the paper, use it to wrap your fish!"

[D&D] Fincul wishes he had gnusto. "It'd save me plenty of cash on scribing costs."

[D&D] Fincul says, "http://www.aarg.net/srd/srdspellii.html -- I'll be getting two level two spells from that list for free in my spellbook."

[D&D] Fincul says, "And I can buy scrolls for any of the level one spells."

[D&D] Fincul says, "(Or the level twos, of course, but they cost more.)"

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "And is there a school you can't do?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Yeah, Transmutation."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Hey, you could get 'Web' and then I could wade in and whap whatever you webbed ;-)"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Invisibility is a nice multi-purpose spell."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Mirror image could be cute."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Aww, you can't get Cat's Grace for me ;-)"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Oh, man, I remember Rope Trick."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "We used that spell to death in a campaign I was in once."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Man, all the fun ones are Transmutation ;-)"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Continual Flame would mean no more mucking about with torches and such."

[D&D] Kaylee asks, "Is that the updated 'continuous light'?"

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Hmm, 'Locate Object' could be useful at times."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Melf's could be useful when the flaming sphere won't work."

[D&D] Skalheth says (to Kaylee), "I can learn Cat's Grace and Bull's Strength."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "It just takes up my summon-octopus slot."

[D&D] Skalheth says, "Anyway, I'm off."

[D&D] Skalheth waves.

Skalheth has disconnected.

Skalheth goes home.

[D&D] Fincul comes back from AFK.

[D&D] Fincul says, "Invisibility's not back, but it won't let you fight while invisible, so I'm thinking of maybe waiting on that until I can get the Improved version."

[D&D] Fincul says, "Although it could be a long time before then, since it's a fourth level spell. So waiting might be silly."

[D&D] Ryan has left the channel.

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Hmm, with 'Escape Artist' already, plus monk-speed, plus endurance, plus this magic ring, Kaylee's theme song is going to be "Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride; ain't nothin' gonna gold me down, oh no...""

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Er, 'hold'."

[D&D] Kaylee says, "Not that she carries gold either, of course ;-)"

[D&D] lpsmith says, "Hmm, if I'm calculating this correctly now, I have a lot more skill points than I thought."

[D&D] lpsmith says, "Wait, no, I'm wrong--base skill points include first level."

[D&D] lpsmith asks (of Jota), "Are you going to disconnect Perry?"

[D&D] Fincul says, "Oh, yeah, thanks. Compeltely forgot."
