New Paphos (The Base)

Now that he's delivered the scroll and tried to be above board to Phlan on his personal goals, he's ready to head out for the Lady's fetch quest. We'll have to hoof it since Skeeve doesn't yet have permission to use the city matrix nodes.

And, if Psybermagi finds it appropriate, update XPs :)

HA!

No problem! I'm figuring we're gonna be regrouping right now, anyway, so that works.

For the rest of the team, we should figure out what we wanna do next. Skeeve paid good gems for the invitation to that other remnant site, so it would be cool to make use of that and check things out there. Since Big Things Are Going Down (tm), it would be good to get some intel on that.

On the other hand, we could just go exploring. Assuming we have full access to the city network nodes, we can take a look at the old map and see if we can find other locations to check out and see where they go and where they are now. We should have some nice options to pick from now.

Thanks for upgrading XPs!!
I guess we can check the loot, and then celebrate at the tavern!
Arc will also want to go to check where that invitation lead us... After those ales

Is the scroll we found with the sewer worm the Spiritual Armor?

I gotta admit the staff is kinda underwhelming. It looked like it helping the hobgoblin mage cast his fire spells. I was hoping ...

Two extra notes:

1) I noticed you wanting to combine groups. We can always combine with one of the other groups, if you so desire. While Skeeve's plans are to make use of the invitation and see what's going on, that can always wait.

2) For my next Trait, I posted a follow-up in my character thread.

OK, some additional notes on the loot. We got the following money:
(8+18)pp = 26pp
(190+97)+197gp = 484gp
(700+70)+60sp = 830sp
(60+30)cp = 90cp
4 amethysts (25,30,40,40)
The items in (parathesis) were gained with the sewer worm. There was a lot of cp with the hobgoblins, but we left it behind. 3 of the amethysts (25,50,75) were used to grease the goblins' palms.

If we convert everything to gold, we get 260+484+83+.9+135 = 962.9.

Divide that by 5 (we promised Geis a full share) and we get 192.58. Assuming that the Clerk will do currency exchange for us, that means we each get:
192 gp
5 sp
8 cp
And whomever speaks first can take a portion of their gold in amethysts. Skeeve will claim one of the 40s. (So, he will actually get 152 gp plus the amethyst.) He will take both of the 40s if allowed to.

The above list of magic items in Psybermagi's post covers the magic items we found with the hobgoblins. However, with the sewer worm we also found a heavily bound book and a cracked magic wand. So, Skeeve'll wanna know what those are, too. Depending, they might be more important to him than the iron key or the belt.

In addition to all of the above, Skeeve also took the hobgoblin's deck of playing cards. He wasn't going to miss out on that! Yes, he knows they are not magical.

Looks promising, how shall we decide this loot?

Arc, based on his scout role, has strong preference for:
Chiropteran Pendant,
Expeditious Iron Key,
Unbroken Belt,

And maybe light preference for Gloves of Grace.


EDIT: I see Skeeve's post uploaded after I wrote my post. I agree with the coin division and plan to spend a good part of it in base, so no problem on getting only coins.
As for magic items, Arc's preferences remain.

And Arc can't wait to deliver the chest to the Lady.

Kaarik, Aizashi, do you have preferences for the loot?

About Lady Alagondar's Heritage... Shall we deliver the chest in this thread or play it parallel this loot division in the Reclaiming Paphos one? Sorry Psybermagi, Arc doesn't want to give you more homework, he is just asking without hurry, but can't hide his enthusiasm to become a citizen :)

There is nothing that would really be specific to Kaarik so he can take whatever remains. Maybe the boots and the darts.

He will refuse to even touch the dagger as he does not want to have anything to do with an item dropping blood like this.

Ok, since nobody writes much, I'll drop a first draft on how can we decide the loot. It's based on the items some showed interest in, on our PCs talents, and well it's not supposed to be perfect, just a starting point. I'm considering the Spiritual Armour as more valuable than lots of other items, also the book and the wand could be very strong or not (we don't know yet) so they are a bit of a gamble for now (but I still think they belong to mages). I'm not asking those cards from Skeeve since he is so keen on keeping them :)
Please do comment!
