New Paphos (The Base)

Oops! Missed those two items earlier! Sorry.

As for the limits on magic, considering that Skeeve has only two (and a half) items, that shouldn't be a big issue. He lost his ring in the trade for Dean's box. He gave away his rope-caster. However, considering how he normally stores Stick, I guess that would actually rule out the belt for him, which is too bad as it is a very nice benefit that he would have liked.

So, he can't use the pendant as he already has two kinda magical ones: the signet from the Lady of the Manor (Sylfir) and the anti-bug token from Ealdwig (who got it from Gulfis). He can't use the belt because of Stick (which, while really a weapon, is worn around his waist). He already has armor, and he likes his current armor's benefits better. The staff is underwhelming and he already has Stick. He has no interesting in most other weapons. He doesn't want gloves or gauntlets because he needs his hands free. The Bracers sound cool, but that sounds more useful to Aizashi.

As an aside, Skeeve is focused on addressing the Lady right now and doesn't want to deviate from that yet. Before he finishes talking to her, he will also ask about the "agent of a citizen" thing so he can have access to more of the city nodes. Also, after talking with her, he will want to talk with Phlan about the invitation and the goings on there.

No oroblem! Hope things are better!

Mainly just focus on what magic items you want while catching up.

Ok, let's make sure I understand all of this ...

I think I'm actually pretty much good with Arc's suggestion. I think I would forgo the barbarian bracers though. So unless not possible it would like this for me:

Fatespun Gauntlets : When the bearer crits with a melee attack they gain Focus for one entire round.

Spiritual Armor : This armor is naught but a prayer written on a scrap of vellum, decorated with religious motifs of the god of war. Once per day, the bearer may spend 1 minute to read the prayer out loud, and at the end this their skin becomes as tough as armor, granting 1 level of protection per combat. The effects fade if they act in any way that is not in accordance to the god of war's teachings. (timidity, cowardice, dishonour)

potion of healing x2 (heals 2 health for 1 action, must be consumed)

Kaarik does not really need the book so Skeeve can take it.

Just to finish the magic item allocation ...

Aizashi
Fatespun Gauntlets, Spiritual Armor, Unbroken Belt, 2xPotion of Healing

Skeeve
Heavily Bound Book, Scarlet dagger, Barbarian's Bracers, Deck of Cards

Kaarik
3 Dart of Flames, Cracked Magic Wand, Delver's Boots, Sentinel Wizard Staff

Arc
Expeditious Iron Key, Chiropteran Pendant, Gloves of Grace, kobold egg x3

Geis
Siege Warmace, Performers' Leather Armor, Vial of carnivorous vine

OK, I started with Arc's list, them made a few changes to reflect what has been posted.
- I swapped the wand and book between Skeeve and Kaarik. Perhaps Kaarik can work with Valpip to un-crack it ...
- I swapped the belt and bracers between Skeeve and Aizashi. Aizashi didn't want the bracers, but I am sure he can use the belt!
- There were three healing potions allocated when there were really just two available. As such, I deleted the one for Skeeve and left both with Aizashi.
- Arc's and Geis's list doesn't change.
- I figure on Geis, even if he doesn't use either item, they will be useful additions to the Keep's armory, so he should be happy with them. Plus, I figure a carnivorous plant being added to a haunted Keep full of undead is pretty much perfect. So, all three work for me.

@Cathamber, you assigned the three kobold eggs to Arc. I am just curious: why? I can see two big uses for them, but I was wondering what you were thinking. (My two ideas: 1) Geis is/was a kobold; give them to him or 2) Take them to the Goblin Remnant and use them to trade with kobolds. Hopefully they would be happy to see them and not enraged that others had them.)

Does that work for everyone?

@Psybermagi, I assume the only valuable things (for us) in the chest were the 2000gp of gems the Lady gave us? Not complaining, just confirming. :-)

You are quite correct on the node in the Merchant's district. We'll have to fix that soon. At worst, he sneaks in, buys some goblin help, then gets to it and immediately leaves.

EDIT: One extra question on the Dissertation on Magic / Bound Book: You said each of the spells is treated as a scroll. This means that they are a one-time use each, correct? I would assume that, but I want to make sure.

Thanks! That's what I thought, I just wanted to make sure.

I just have to pick my Trait and I should be ready to go!

Sorry for these few days without posting, but I'm back.
Hey Skeeve, Arc has no special interest in those Kobold Eggs for himself. But in the final count, those kind of were left behind, so I put them on Arc to be sold later either to those kobolds you mentioned, or somewhere else if they don't want them.

For the record, Skeeve will wait for the illusion magic and instead takes his second human trait, which is Resolute.

Good idea to share our new traits! Arc took his 2nd avian trait: optics.
This shall improve his scouting skills.
