Davroar would have no interest in the scrolls as I am playing him as an illiterate barbarian (the only exception being taught Druidic).

Fascinating! I like that idea. Probably a good idea for all PCs to have some complementary scrolls in their possession. Having said that, Chandan will likely be first into the fray, so it might be better for Jaliera or Kallista to take the scrolls.

Potions are a good match for Chandan though.

I assume that those who use magic can copy those scrolls and therefore have them as a permanent addition, whereas non-magic users get a one-off use?

If your class uses a spellbook you can copy a scroll into your spellbook. Many spellcasting classes do not use spellbooks (Kallista for example), so would do the reverse (i.e. use a spellbook as if it were a scroll).

If you have the PHB look up your class to see if it requires a spellbook or not. I believe the only class that uses a spellbook is Wizard. All other classes simply know a limited number of spells without requiring a book to write them down in.

So anyone can use the scrolls. If Davroar and Chandan aren't interested, and Kriv would like the spellbook as his choice, then it seems Jaliera gets first choice of the scrolls.

Why doesn't Jaliera take 2 scrolls and leave one for Kallista (any one of them are fine). We'll give Chandan any non-healing potion we've got and split the healing ones up among Jaliera, Chandan, and Davroar.

Zeim is correct and yes, I'm using our house-rule about casting out of a spell book. But I'll stay out of this free-for-all unless you guys come to blows

OK, I'm good with my choices Thanks!

So Jaliera will take both Fireball and Charm Person and Kallista will take Augury?

Nep - somebody said they would test the unknown potions, or Kallista will.

Sorry 'bout that.
The two potions are Healing and Invisibility.

Everyone should update their PC's.

Probably planning on going shopping first.

OK, so here is how I think it plays out:

Kallista - Staff of Defense, Scroll of Augury
Jaliera - Scroll of Fireball, Scroll of Charm Person, Potion of Healing
Kriv - Spellbook (7 spells)
Chandan - Potion of Invisibility, Potion of Healing
Davroar - Potion of Healing

Plus 247.1 gp each.

We also have a +1 Long Sword we are holding on to that no one chooses to use. Kallista is carrying it but will give it to anyone else who wants it.

How much could we get for selling the long sword? Our front line relies on bigger weapons, no weapons and bearing respectively.

Neptune's call, but my recollection is that selling magic items is not allowed. They give all sorts of reasons why in the DMG iirc.

Reasonable. Can we sacrifice it to transfer its bonus somewhere useful?

If it bothers you that much, Ryssa would take the sword.

Way to take it for the other team. Ex.

Neptune, I would rather go with the spirit taking an owl form as per D&D 5 if that's OK. Part of the reason that I made my choice of owl is that Jaliera can get it to change back to spirit which would protect it from physical harm is a really dicey situation. Part of our remit here is to try out the new system.

Actually I think that's not the way it works, although the difference is effectively meaningless.

You can cause it to vanish into a Pocket Dimension to avoid danger, until you call it back. It doesn't really change form back into a spirit.

You can get it to change form, into a different animal, by recasting the spell.

That's the bit I meant, the Pocket Dimension!

Gypsy,
I guess Zeim knows me really well
We can call it anything we want but the powers remain the same. I'm just calling it an animal imbued with special properties. You can call it a spirit if you like.

OK

Just a note for everyone. This week has, and will continue to be slow for me. I apologize but I'm booked in all-day meetings at work and have a bunch of evening plans. It'll pick back up this weekend.

What the "N" team can do (in OOC if you like) is discuss where you'll be heading next. The module is open like that. You can go here or there in any sequence or not at all. Look at the various potential missions in the N- News, Quests, Rumours, Leads, Persons & Items of Interest thread.

Godz ... I love being retired (mostly) <g>

Yeah. Life can get hectic. We're installing a new ERP and started a 2-year project to get that done. They scheduled me for 20 days worth of meetings, training sessions, etc. over the next 2 months. And I have to do my regular work too. Hence, busy.

Thought we had already decided that Gundren was our priority so we were heading out via the druid to get more info on the location of the castle? Anyone?
