"My spellcraft is not very high, although I can try to aid with the identification of the potions." (Aid Another for the spellcraft checks, for the potions #1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12 +2 to the check, +4 with Inspire Courage)
"Zeoll, it is a good idea to choose the items, but the chainmail is medium sized and I think none of us can use it, so it is actually 8 items rather than 9 (and actually we are 8 Chosen at the moment, arent we? Flattop, Gecktar, Zeoll, Rill, Ban, Kale, Brahmah, Toros..?) That Quiver of Domi would be nice for me, I am already full of with brooch, amulets, armors and weapons."
Zeoll Monday October 17th, 2005 1:32:09 AM
Zeoll agrees with Gecktar. "You are wise, my frriend. Yes, let us sell the human-sized chain mail and add that to the gold value to divide."
"Since it seems none of us have the arcane lorre needed to identify these potions, I suggest that we take them all to the Temple of Domi. Forr one thing, they will have therre people who can tell what they arre."
"Morreoverr, a thought in my hearrt is that we have not been generrous enough to those in need. I know that is trrue forr myself. The temple can sell the potions and use the prroceeds to benefit the poorr and unforrtunate."
"What say you, Chosen of Domi?"

Gecktar answers to Bran "Welcome among the Chosen. We can all be grateful to Domi because he always send valorous people to help us in times of need."
"If Domi let you on our ways, I'm sure that you will be of a great help. So one more time welcome."
"And, are you too a priest of Domi ? If not, what is your profession and what skills do you have ? I always ask this question to all newcomer because we should know each other to get the best of each other."
A moment later...
"Maybe I will be able to get something from these potions with you help"
(OOC identified potions 1,3,8,13... Bad rolls...)
Jay B Monday October 17th, 2005 4:47:28 AM
OOC: Just a thought, but the quiver shouldn't be named Quiver of Domi for a couple reasons.
Naming it after Domi would be a bad idea. Domi rarely used bows or any other projectiles for that matter. It wouldn't work well with the current cannon.
Also, as the assistant master staffer in the Catacombs, it may cause confusion for some staffers as to what the quiver is.
Brahmah Monday October 17th, 2005 5:03:50 AM
Brahmah is eager to help Rill with the identifying, but seems to be more in the way tahn helpful.
Brahmah looks thoughtful at Zeoll's statement, "Well, donating to the church isn't a bad idea. But honestly, I think we should do it as individuals and not as a group. When we sell the loot, we split it like normal and let everyone decide, I think thats best." The Captain has said his peace.
OOC: DM Jim, Remind me, have Solgrin, Kanchana and Kale left the Chosen? If so, when do we celebrate? ;) Just kidding. Where's Sam at? Is he still in the Wold?
Flat-top Monday October 17th, 2005 8:10:06 AM
Well after what Ban told him aboy his arms and chest, he take a fighter pose, (expanding his chest another four inches). Oh thank you! I do try to keep up my skills as a fighter, in a fight I try to protect all those with magic, so we can be more effective. Now i'm off tho give these flowers to Rill."
As he is troting over to Rill (flowers in hand) He answers Zeoll question, "I'm In!" He approches Rill (with flowers in hand) "Here! Rill! I pick these for you." then hand her the flowers.
OOC: Jay all i have to say is Sam is Sam, he does this alot, but when in a pinch he's there.
Ban Maeve Monday October 17th, 2005 3:03:49 PM
Ban suggests to Zeoll, "Perhaps since none of the Chosen can wear the armor and it appears to be in excess it would make a better offering to the Temple. Even though we to not know what the potions are yet, they may still come in useful to us one tay." Then, to Gektar, "I have some training as a guide and ranger, though as of late I have been exploring my magical potential. Most of my spells enhance combat ability. Now that I see a neet for Spellcraft I will begin study in earnest. I will make myself a useful attition to the Chosen."
OOC: It seems odd for me to claim any treasure for Ban who has had nothing to do with it's acquisition. If there is anything left that no one wishes to claim he would accept it if it was given to him, but otherwise I suspect that he is fine.
Phaerill (Sub/Al) Monday October 17th, 2005 3:34:11 PM
Rill stamps her hooves, unable to decide which item she wants. Two or three of them look very nice. The question dances on the tip of her tongue. Can I have more than one? Her eyes dart from one of the Chosen to the next. But, in the end, the question remains behind her lips, unasked.
"hohohohohohohoho ... " Instead, though, she laughs coquettishly at Brahmah's joke. "You are so funny. I like men who are amusing."
"Dandilions! Why thank you so much, Flat-top!" Rill accepts the flowers and sniffs at them, smiling at the delicate aroma. Her delicate white teeth take a small bite from one of the green leafs and she chews, experimentally.
"Aren't these beautiful, Brahmah?" she asks, and bats her long lashes at Flat-top.
Zeoll Monday October 17th, 2005 8:30:37 PM
The liontaur agrees with Brahmah. "Yes, let's divide up everrything and then each can donate as suits his or herr hearrt."
"Do we all agrree that everryone gets one perrmanent magic item, and we sell the human chain mail?"
Goodies. (DM Jim) Monday October 17th, 2005 10:52:42 PM
This day wears on with much talk of what little bits of goodies they have gotten. A little talk is made of going to the local temple to see about potions.
Some useful scrolls are discovered, in fact three of them will help them out greatly with identifing. It is quickly decided that the round white gems are pearls and maybe useful as well with what they must do.
The day wears on and night is approaching but they group has made no move to identify anymore treasure but at least they are talking about it it seems.
Peace of mind. There is no cursed items in the lot. With the policy on those items you will not see them from me.
Included caster levels for the scrolls. :)
Dominic and Eunice I have the unfortunate news to tell you, have left the game. As for Sam...I am unsure and would have to second what Ceil has stated.
No potions were identified as all rolls were too low, even with help. Changed the quiver's name back but have posed that question in the CC.
Let me know what gets identified and in what order. If you want to check about potions at the local temple let me know as well. Some DMs will allow for such stuff to happen in game if they deem it worthy of the group.
Zeoll Monday October 17th, 2005 11:50:39 PM
[OOC: The online version of the D&D Rules, called the SRD, names the magic item as an Efficient Quiver. That may be a good name to use for the item.]
Zeoll asks Rill if she would read the scrolls to identify three of the items. If she does not have Identify in her book, she should use one of the scrolls to put it there, In Zeoll's opinion. Then she can prepare it at will.
So the liontaur hopes to volunteer the centaur to let the group know what each item is.
So far Zeoll has claimed the leather armor, Flat-top has claimed the bracers, and Toros has claimed the quiver. How about Brahmah, Gecktar, Kale, and Rill? Zeoll is glad to offer Ban whatever the last item is of the eight as a welcome gift.
Julie is still out as I have heard nothing from her yet. I do believe that she already has identify on her spell list so, even if she does not I will allow her to add it when she comes back. Think of it as a DM bonus. If you want all the items identified by Rill than just let me know. I will subtract the three identify scrolls and how ever many pearls as needed. I will not do the potions as they could be identified easier if Al wants to try some spellcraft checks. I said that I figure that Phaerill has at leas an +11 or +13 to that skill, use the higher one for now.
Brahmah Tuesday October 18th, 2005 1:00:02 AM
Brahmah makes it apparent he's interested in the longsword and one amulet(the animal pendant).
He frowns at the dandilions Rill shows him. "Nice."
Gecktar Tuesday October 18th, 2005 5:10:03 AM
(OOC : the SRD states a roll of 25 to identify the potions, are those potions special potions ?)
Aftre trying to identify the potion, Gecktar looks at the loot. "I will take money as nothing catch my eyes and make me blind" he says with a smile.
Gilles, you may want to actually tell me what your rolls were so that I do not have to do all the math. As I see it from your post even with an 18 for your rolls you fall a point short of identifying a potion with a 24. Next time just give me the full check and if I messed up any of those adding to 25 then let me know.
Zeoll d20+20=22 Tuesday October 18th, 2005 7:13:28 AM
The liontaur suggests that the group sell the scrolls, including the Identify scrolls, and split the proceeds. THe one exception would be keeping an Identify scroll for a mage (Rill? Ban?) to put in their spell book, if they do not have it there already.
So far: Zeoll (leather armor), Flat-top (bracers), Toros (quiver), Brahmah (sword or amulet).
Brahmah, did you want the evocation amulet or the transmutation amulet? Neither has been identified otherwise. And do you want the sword or the amulet -- pick just one, friend.
Zeoll says to Gecktar, "Please choose an item, any item, my frriend, and then you can take it to the Catacombs magic shop and sell it therre."
Zeoll suggests the following: Brahmah (sword or amulet), Kale (sword or amulet), Gecktar (bow), Rill (amulet), and Ban (brooch).
[OOC: Guys, can we get some consensus here! Let's pick and go. Zeoll's heart is eager to set sail for the Taur Isles, and i think that's what we are doing next.]
Finally, Zeoll makes a quick trip to the Temple of Domi, and asks there if any spellcrafty priest would be willing to look at 13 potions ... with a donation as the priest deems appropriate, of course. [OOC: Diplomacy check 22 to arrange this.]
Flat-top Tuesday October 18th, 2005 8:49:05 AM
Flat-top pick up the Bracer(s), "Would some one tell me What kind of bracers they are?"
But deep inside flat-top is glad that Brahmah is a little mad at the flowers for Rill."
Phaerill (Sub/Al) Tuesday October 18th, 2005 10:48:22 AM
Phaerill looks up from the attentions of the two attractive Taurs. The young centaur glances down at the scrolls, looking down over her pert little nose.
"Identify," she says, sounding out the name of the spell. "Alright. I can do this. Who wants their magic item identified? First come first serve." She trots into the center of the group with the three scrolls in hand.
[OoC: DM, could you identify the first three who chime in?]
Ban Maeve Tuesday October 18th, 2005 5:01:44 PM
Ban sits back to watch the evolution of the splitting of the booty, taking special interest in Brahmah's jealousy towards Phaerill and her flaunting of it.
Brahmah Tuesday October 18th, 2005 6:53:22 PM
OOC: Brahmah would like the sword. But if it exceeds his portion, we will sell it and give the difference to the Chosen, that way everyone gets the fair amount.
As for the newcomers getting loot, I suggest we vote. Thats how the Chosen do most things, the democratic way.
I vote, "Yes, split with newcomers; Rill and Ban."
Also, it looks as if the Chosen will be gaining two new players soon. This will be good news for the Chosen. :)
DM Jim, will we be getting new taur races, like the gnoats, or are still sticking the old classics? :)
Zeoll Tuesday October 18th, 2005 8:24:36 PM
Zeoll says that we will need to have all the items identified. So if Rill will check out the sword and the two amulets, then that would be fine.
Then Zeoll takes charge. "I also agrree that Ban and Rrill should get an item." Then he starts to divide up the loot.
Zeoll says to Brahmah, "Let us not quibble overr the value of individual items. Herre, take the sworrd. Whateverr its value, it is yourrs. Rrill will tell you morre about it in a little while."
"Herre, Flat-top, take these brracerrs and 100 gold pieces. Use the money to identify the brracerrs at the Catacombs."
"Here, Kale, take this (evocation) amulet. Rrill will tell you in a moment what it is."
"Herre, Torros, take this Quiverr. We alrready know what it is, from Rill's earrlierr Identify."
"Gecktarr, please take this bow and 100 gold pieces. Use the money to pay for an Identify in the Catacombs and then feel frree to sell the bow."
"Ban, you have just joined us, but as a sign of that joining, please take this brrooch and 100 gold. Use it to Identify the item in the Catacombs; then keep it orr sell it as you prreferr."
"Rrill, the (trransmutation) amulet is yourrs. You will know in a moment what it is. Also take this 100 gold to compensate you for casting the Identify on the Quiverr."
"And this leatherr arrmorr is mine. I will take an extrra 100 gold to pay to identify it."
After all this, the trreasure looks like this:
To sell and divide among eight:
400 platinum 2500 gold -- minus a possible donation to the Temple of Domi to pay for Spellcrafting those potions. 5 white gems 3 red gems 1 chainmail(medium) 13 potions 8 scrolls - fireball[CL5](2), magic missile[CL6](4), summon monster III[CL6](2)
Divided
1 longsword(large) -- Brahmah 1 composite longbow(taur) and 100 gp -- Gecktar 1 leather(taur) and 100 gp -- Zeoll 1 bracers - moderate conjuration and 100 gp -- Flat-top 1 amulet - faint evocation? -- Kale 1 amulet - faint transmutation and 100 gp -- Rill 1 quiver- quiver of Ehlonna -- Toros 1 brooch - faint abjuration and 100 gp -- Ban
Toros Tuesday October 18th, 2005 10:40:46 PM
Toros takes his quiver, thanking Zeoll and places his stuff in it, while listening to his friends and commenting on them.
"Rill, has been with us for a good enough time and Ban, please feel comfortable to get your item, consider it as a welcome present, and use it in good health."
Ban Maeve Wednesday October 19th, 2005 1:33:06 AM
"Thank you for your kintness. a most generous offer."
OOC: Do I go to the Catacombs page or is there a Catacombs bramch nearby?
Gecktar Wednesday October 19th, 2005 3:46:16 AM "I appreciates you efforts to divide the loot among each other but I think we must first identify the items to know their true value and then share evenly according to the real cost."
"If you want I can take the loot to the Catacombs and ask to identify all items."
OOC : just took this example. If the bow is +2 the value is more than 8000 gp and the quiver of Toros is 1800 gp... Not a fair share I think. We must identify the item first. I can go to the catacombs and try to share the loot according to everyone wish.
OOC2 here are the rolls made for identifying potion with all bonus : Potion 1 d20+12=27 identified Potion 2 d20+12=23 Potion 3 d20+12=25 identified Potion 4 d20+12=15 Potion 5 d20+12=19 Potion 6 d20+12=24 Potion 7 d20+12=22 Potion 8 d20+12=27 identified Potion 9 d20+12=18 Potion 10 d20+12=14 Potion 11 d20+12=20 Potion 12 d20+12=21 Potion 13 d20+12=29 identified
Flat-top Wednesday October 19th, 2005 8:37:03 PM
With his chest puff out, he ask Rill "Please Beautiful Rill! Could you identify these Braces for me? Please!" Flat-top swishes his tail at Brahmah.
A meeting of the minds. (DM Jim) Wednesday October 19th, 2005 8:59:12 PM
Rill is soon busy doing three more identifications from the scroll that the group has gotten. This way it takes less time and things are much faster than before when she had to do the whole spell herself.
While all this is going on Gecktar and Ban head off to the local temple to inquire with the priest there about the potions. Gecktar finds that he had gotten some luck with a few of the potions when he had worked with them earlier, he just wanted to take his time and be complete.
Treasure 400 platinum 3000 gold 5 white gems 3 red gems Large Longsword of Frost+1 1 composite longbow(taur) 1 leather(taur) 1 chainmail(medium) 1 bracers - moderate conjuration Amulet of Natural Armor+1 Amulet of Health+2 Quiver of Ehlonna 1 brooch - faint abjuration 9 potions Elixir of Fire Breathe CMW Potion Enlarge Person Potion Spider Climb Potion Fireball[CL5](2) Magic Missile[CL6](4) Summon Monster III[CL6](2)
Gilles, thanks and sorry for seeming so anal about those rolls...I just hate to hurt the group when I am not sure about things.
Neal, you will need to go to the Catacombs board to identify the item. :) You can post that your character goes to a branch office in South Harbor to get it identified but you will also need to post on the real Catacombs board as well.
Ceil, could you please post your new email again for me? I know I have it but not sure where I put it...need to send you some XP.
Sorry, no gnoats as of yet. They are not approved though I suppose I could take it to the BGC. Still I would not say you will get any gnoats in the game.
Wanted to let you all know that we have lost Sam for the time being. I am finding out from Jerry for how long. I have not gotten any word from Julie as well.
Al, that means that I will need you to make a post for her tomorrow that has her going off to do something in South Harbor. Maybe volunteer to work at one of the apple orchards or fill in at the local shop that sells wizard supplies. That means that Rill will be going inactive till she decides to come back. :)
Phaerill (Sub/Al) Wednesday October 19th, 2005 10:10:01 PM
"Thank you, Zeoll." Rill weighs the amulet in one hand and the one hundred gold coins nearly spilling out of her palm in the other. With a big grin, she opens the pouch at her waist and pours a stream of gold within.
In an impressively dramatic voice (especially for such a small young centaur), Phaerill reads from the scrolls, gesticulating with her free hand and swinging the amulet about. She laughs in triumph after having identified each of the three items, and she rears back up on her hind legs, pawing the air with her front hooves.
"I'm going to find some place to spend my money!" Rill announces. "Here!" Phaerill slides her amulet over Flat-top's head with a giggle. "Hold this for me." Then she charges off in the direction of town.
"I'm going to try and find a wizard's shop!" Phaerill's voice drifts back as she disappears from sight.
Zeoll Wednesday October 19th, 2005 10:39:00 PM
Zeoll addresses Gecktar's concern: "Well, since the items werre all divided beforre we knew what they werre, everrybody had an equal chance to get something special. That's fairr, rright?"
"What do the rrest of you all think? The otherr option is to sell everrything and just divide the gold, I guess. I could go forr eitherr one -- grrab bag as prreviously divided, or sell it all and split the gold."
Brahmah Thursday October 20th, 2005 3:42:30 AM
Brahmah looks down and ignores the flirtation of Flat-top and Rill.
He looks at the newest sword and is happy with the choice.
Toros Thursday October 20th, 2005 6:32:40 AM
Toros listens Gecktar and Zeoll and expresses, what he thinks: "Actually, I have thought everyone's share from the loot will be equalized with the split of money gained from other sold items and earned gold, which we did last time with the loot. I have thought everyone will be even at the end, and because of this I have taken one item which I can use and do not necessarily have a high value, hoping this will ease the loot share for others, as well. It was identified already and I knew its value, it was not a choice of chance for me. Nevertheless, I do not want to sell this Efficient Quiver, but I also have wanted to use the money that would come from the other loot to get some other stuff later. I hope this makes sense..?"
Flat-top Thursday October 20th, 2005 7:37:01 AM
Flat-top stands there, not believing his eyes as the fleeing form of Rill disappers into the town. He call after her "BUT! BUT! BUT! What kind of Braiser are these?" Then look down at the Amulet that Rill place there, "What this? What does it do? Your A magic user and I'm a fighter!" No use she has gold in her pouch and is off to spend it. Flat-top is disapointed, with a slowly walk, goes along side Zeoll and Ban, telling them " Rill has two pieces of gold in her pouch and she's off like the wind! I'm Giving Up Females Forever! or at least for today!"
Occ: DM Jim - My E-Mail addy is momlap@sbcglobal.net
Zeoll Thursday October 20th, 2005 11:27:06 AM
Zeoll listens to Toros and sighs. "You arre rright, frriend! Yourr choice was not rrandom, since you know what the item was. I see no way out of this dilemma than to sell everrything and split the gold. What do you all think?"
[OOC: Honestly, I just don't have the time to figure out the value of everything and then to make equivalent loot piles like I did before. If someone else wants to do that, go for it! Or let's just sell it all and split the cash. But let's not spend another week on it! :-) ]
Gecktar Thursday October 20th, 2005 2:05:47 PM "Right, everyone get his item identified and then we will see what can be done with the gold to split among each other so as to make equal piles"
"Well now, what we are going to go next ? Does anyone has any need or idea ?"
"Where is the map that we get from these chests ?"
Zeoll Thursday October 20th, 2005 2:45:16 PM
"Good answerr," says Zeoll. "When all the items arre identified, we'll know how to divide the gold."
Ban Maeve Thursday October 20th, 2005 3:59:15 PM
"Since it is a vote you wish for, here is my vote: Gektar has offeret to have all of the items itentifiet, perhaps one of us can go with him to to this, then we can make an etucatet tecision about who keeps what. If no one wishes to accompany him, then I will." To help make the decision easy, Ban begins to collect the unidentified objects and the 100 gold coins that go with each item. OOC, I stated Ban's actions assuming this was a favorable decision, if there is further protest about how the goods get divided then he certainly won't take the items by force.
Flat-top Thursday October 20th, 2005 5:29:27 PM
Flat-top gives the Bracers, the gold pieces and the Amulit, Tell both Zeoll and Ban " Here is my gold, the gold that I chose, and here is the Amulet that Rill chose, But forget about the gold she received. She ran to town as fast as she could. Shish! Females!"
Brahmah Friday October 21st, 2005 3:21:32 AM
"I think the decision to keep one item each and splitting the difference equally is a great idea.
Zeoll usually splits the loot very well Ban. He's our accountant." He says, smiling.
Flat-top Friday October 21st, 2005 9:04:51 AM
Flat-top agrees with Brahmah, So he'll take back his bracers but leave the 100 gold and Rill's Amulet in the pot. "Sound Good to me!"
Ban Maeve Friday October 21st, 2005 1:56:34 PM
"Oh that is good to have someone to to the numbers, but what of having everything itentifiet together? It could save us a lot of time ant energy, or we coult just all go together."
