I will assume your six day voyage back to Port Talp is filled with you watching the skies for danger and counting the loot.

Although dead, the dragon body is unnerving.  Claude, Thermon, and Rin do you best butchery and the water gets a lot of chum.

Starting the list of items (worn by Dark Sea):

- Claude deciphers the use of the Rod of Draconic Replacement, Lesser
- The Collar of Poison is clearly evil
- Ring
- Another rod
- Anklet

It takes you quite some time to sift out of rusted metals, the rocks, and silt, and other debris.  But with nothing else to do, the crew digs for six days and you use spells to help the process.

The gems you put aside, as the have to be appraised later.  There are no art or collectibles, as the years of salt water would have destroyed them all.

It also appears that Dark Sea only kept gold and silver; there are no other precious metals.  The silver all appears to be in bad shape.  It has turned black.

You get a fair count on the gold; and the best estimates that you get are in the 25 million gold coin range.  Give or take 2 million.

Extra bonus xp will be given to a full fight recap.
The fight started out slow with the crew of the Gaurdian circling patiently around Dark Seas lair.  Shortly after our scouting missions in the undersea cavern, Greymander lit up and Dark Seas approached.  At first, we could only hear the wind shifting and waves crashing, but a lucky shot with an arrow of revealing gave us a quick glimpse of the creature and its location.  The huge beast moved in to strike at the ship and the crew engaged in combat.

The gunners loaded cannon and readied themselves to fire, Amare started shouting orders and getting everyone to their battle stations, the officers buffed with spells and activated magic items, and the rest of the crew hunkered down in the lower part of the ship.

Once engaged in battle, everyone sprung into action.  Spells were cast, abilities spent, and magic items activated.  The ship was protected from ramming by the lyre and some of our magical defenses were activated.  Although all these enhancements sound good in theory, it quickly became apparent that Dark Seas was too smart to take us on head to head.  Instead, he began systematically picking the ship apart starting with the rudder.  He then began moving stealthily through the water to confuse us and redirect his position.  He dropped a lightning orb on the ship (which was eventually dispelled by Jean), cast a desiccating bubble that affected various crew, and remained invisible throughout his assault.  we were forced to start repairs on the ship with the lyre and Claude fixed the rudder with a Make Whole spell.

We managed to land an occasional blow, but really started off slow against the beast.  Nathan evoked the power of the crown of air and turned into a bear, Sas utilized his spiritual abilities, Rin and Tsu took to the water, Chase and Kasai used magic, Claude calculated the best vantage point and readied the Greymander, Valdis began psionically buffing, the gunners mates aimed the cannons, Parker spotted from the crows nest, and most of the rest went below deck.  The remaining warriors readied swords, harpoons, and bows for attack.   

There was a long period of cat and mouse with Dark Seas toying with us and dimension hopping out of range.  We eventually decided to go in after it, so Nathan, Chase, Rin, Tsu, Claude, and Sas prepped themselves in both physical and ghostly forms to make the journey to his lair.  We took two of the flags from the ship to avoid panic.  We descended into the depths only to be assaulted by the flood of manta rays that we had scouted earlier.  The fight was over before it began when Rin released a lethal volley of arrows with her arrow storm spell.  The rays that lived fled the scene and we continued to search for Dark Seas.  After reaching the lair, Nathan received word from Valdis that Dark Seas was attacking the ship again.  The group below the surface agreed to ascend via the crown of air, but knew that it would take several rounds to reach the ship.

In the meantime, the remaining crew defended the Guardian as best they could.  It was at this point that Me-en, the great cloud elemental, engaged Dark Seas in open combat.  He dive bombed the dragon in a spectacular aerial display and proceeded to fight it for several rounds.  Dark Seas eventually got the better of him and he was forced to withdraw, but one major thing he accomplished was to rid Dark Seas of his invisibility.  Kasai launched spells, the gunners fired cannon, the archers lobbed arrows, and the others assisted with loading and spotting. 

After exhausting resources to no avail, Dark Seas made his way over to the ship.  He charged it from the sky and came crashing down on deck at full velocity.  The force of the impact tossed several of the crew overboard and destroyed one of our secondary masts.  Fitolin was lost at sea.  With very few crew remaining on board, the dragon engaged Amare in combat.  Amare used his Bardic abilities to create a wall of dancing rope to distract Dark Seas.  It was clear now that Dark Seas was no even bigger, had multiple limbs, and was harder to hit.  It also was capable of dealing devastating damage.  We were in trouble.   

Midiyro bravely charged the beast with his katana, but was swatted away with a mighty tail slap.  Tsari'Moti also attacked, but was crushed and pinned to the deck by tail and talon.  The crew who was overboard worked together to stay afloat and rescue each other with the dingy that was floating near by.  While they were all reorienting themselves, Dark Seas took the opportunity to cause more damage.  He tore at the ship and ripped away at the rope wall.  Taji was eventually able to sneak on deck and pull Tsari'Moti from combat, but Dark Seas would not be robbed of his bloody satisfaction.  He proceeded to grab Midiyro and crush his internal organs.  Once tenderized, he rended his flesh and tore him in half.  He tossed one half of his body into the sea, wiped the venom and blood off his maw, then tossed the other half across the ship and into the ocean.  Midiyro was lost.  His valiant last stand will go down in history.

It was at this point that the officers resurfaced.  Nathan came splashing out of the water and the rest of the crew remained on the surface treading water.  Rin and Tsu were not yet above water.  It was later revealed that she and Tsu were ensnared by the remaining mantas and forced into combat.  It did not end well for the mantas. 

Nathan then rushed Dark Seas and engaged in hand to hand combat.  Valdis and Claude dimension hopped onto his back, and Chase activated his boots and flew within casting range.  Me-en rejoined the fight, but in a support role.  He dispelled Dark Seas and gave us all protection from electricity.  After the dispel, Dark Seas lost his additional limbs and ceased to hurt as much with his attacks.  This gave Nathan, Claude, and Valdis the chance they needed to inflict some damage.  Claude with the Greymander, Nathan with claw and teeth, and Valdis with a mighty psionically buffed explosive axe attack.  In addition, Chase was launching potent Ice Darts that were landing and causing serious damage.  Dark Seas was angry and starting to loose control.  He fought back and severely injured all that were on his back and neck area.

At some point during the mass melee, Claude had an epiphany.  He realized that he was pretty awesome and that life would be improved for everyone if there were more of him around, so he wished it so and low and behold, two more Claude's appeared on either side of him.  After greeting each other and complimenting their taste in garb and weaponry, all three Claude's coordinated their attacks. 

After having its defenses weakened and multiple dragon hunters hacking away at it, the true Greymander began to hum.  The vibrato became increasingly loud and disturbing to Dark Seas.  For the first time, the beaten and bloodied crew could see a glimmer of concern in the creatures eyes.  Nathan, Valdis, and Ritvalli (who had snuck up on the dragon) saw that the Greymander was thirsty for blood and soul.  They all focused on assisting Claude, providing him the edge he needed to come down with the Greymander and make one final devastating blow that cut into the dragon's scales and penetrated the brain cavity.  Greymander plunged into its flesh and began the immensely satisfying process of draining the vile beast's soul.  Dark Seas, however, wouldn't be sentenced to oblivion that easily.  His soul fought with Greymander and Claude almost lost control of the sword, and with it, Dark Seas' soul. 

As luck would have it, Claude would come to yet another epiphany.  He realized that T'fop is always on his side and that there's always a shot for the underdog.  He reached down deep and mustered up a little touch of luck.  Like a champion bass fisherman, Claude tugged and pulled at the Greymander, reeling in the dark and corrupted soul like a wriggling fish.  Luck was on our side and the Greymander triumphed in the ultimate battle of will.  Dark Seas was defeated and the crew of the Gaurdian of the Tides collapsed in bitter sweet victory. 

We rested that night, healed, repaired the ship, and paid homage to the victorious dead: Midiyro and Fitolin.  We sent a rescue party to retrieve the bodies and Nathan and Chase made their way down to the lair to gather treasure.  Once down there, it became known that low level magic won't protect people, so Chase had to come back to the surface.  Nathan collected two full loads of loot with the portable hole and we set sail for Port Talp.

Chase and Kasai both have bags of holding.  Chase Type IV and Kasai Type II.

Bag/Bag Weight/Contents Weight Limit/Contents Volume Limit/Market Price

Type I  15 lb.  250 lb.  30 cu. ft. 
Type II  25 lb.  500 lb.  70 cu. ft. 
Type III  35 lb.  1,000 lb.  150 cu. ft. 
Type IV  60 lb.  1,500 lb.  250 cu. ft.

The bags of holding will hit the weight limit before the space limit.

So you fill the hole twice and each bag twice.

So the 566 sq ft from the two hole trips and 4,000 lbs from the bags.  Does that sound correct?

The new total of gold, based on the space and the weight, is roughly 6 million in gold coins.

Post by: Hero on June 02, 2018, 09:28:26 AM
The new total of gold, based on the space and the weight, is roughly 6 million in gold coins.
Observation:

Estimate was at 25,000,000 gc when the volume collected was thought to be 1130 cf.

We are now at 566 cf (50% of the original volume), so shouldn’t the gc estimate be closer to 12,500,000 (50% of the original estimate)? 6,000,000 is 24% of the estimate.

That’s based on portable hole volume only, so it doesn’t include the bags of holding, which would in theory drive up the value even further.

Not that I’m complaining about getting 6,000,000 gc. I just noticed the inconsistency and wanted to put it out there.

The original was based on two of the 1130s.  I thought the first calculation was for one hole filled, so the total volume would have been 2260.

Also note that total is just gold.  There is a lot of other stuff, but there are tons to go through and the gold is the easiest to recognize and the quickest to be able to evaluate.

Chase can now cast Legend Lore, but it's way too expensive to use for all those items.  Instead, I plan to buy an Artificer's Monocle from Natsu when we get back to Port Talp.  If the crew doesn't mind waiting a couple days, I'll have everything identified pretty quickly.

Amare has no issue with waiting a few days.  After that ordeal, he wants to give the crew at least a month shore leave.  In addition, he suspects that a few will leave after collecting their pay.  That is either because they are afraid of what could come next, or they have made enough coin.

The fight started out slow with the crew of the Gaurdian circling patiently around Dark Seas lair.  Shortly after our scouting missions in the undersea cavern, Greymander lit up and Dark Seas approached.  At first, we could only hear the wind shifting and waves crashing, but a lucky shot with an arrow of revealing gave us a quick glimpse of the creature and its location.  The huge beast moved in to strike at the ship and the crew engaged in combat.

The gunners loaded cannon and readied themselves to fire, Amare started shouting orders and getting everyone to their battle stations, the officers buffed with spells and activated magic items, and the rest of the crew hunkered down in the lower part of the ship.

Once engaged in battle, everyone sprung into action.  Spells were cast, abilities spent, and magic items activated.  The ship was protected from ramming by the lyre and some of our magical defenses were activated.  Although all these enhancements sound good in theory, it quickly became apparent that Dark Seas was too smart to take us on head to head.  Instead, he began systematically picking the ship apart starting with the rudder.  He then began moving stealthily through the water to confuse us and redirect his position.  He dropped a lightning orb on the ship (which was eventually dispelled by Jean), cast a desiccating bubble that affected various crew, and remained invisible throughout his assault.  we were forced to start repairs on the ship with the lyre and Claude fixed the rudder with a Make Whole spell.

We managed to land an occasional blow, but really started off slow against the beast.  Nathan evoked the power of the crown of air and turned into a bear, Sas utilized his spiritual abilities, Rin and Tsu took to the water, Chase and Kasai used magic, Claude calculated the best vantage point and readied the Greymander, Valdis began psionically buffing, the gunners mates aimed the cannons, Parker spotted from the crows nest, and most of the rest went below deck.  The remaining warriors readied swords, harpoons, and bows for attack.   

There was a long period of cat and mouse with Dark Seas toying with us and dimension hopping out of range.  We eventually decided to go in after it, so Nathan, Chase, Rin, Tsu, Claude, and Sas prepped themselves in both physical and ghostly forms to make the journey to his lair.  We took two of the flags from the ship to avoid panic.  We descended into the depths only to be assaulted by the flood of manta rays that we had scouted earlier.  The fight was over before it began when Rin released a lethal volley of arrows with her arrow storm spell.  The rays that lived fled the scene and we continued to search for Dark Seas.  After reaching the lair, Nathan received word from Valdis that Dark Seas was attacking the ship again.  The group below the surface agreed to ascend via the crown of air, but knew that it would take several rounds to reach the ship.

In the meantime, the remaining crew defended the Guardian as best they could.  It was at this point that Me-en, the great cloud elemental, engaged Dark Seas in open combat.  He dive bombed the dragon in a spectacular aerial display and proceeded to fight it for several rounds.  Dark Seas eventually got the better of him and he was forced to withdraw, but one major thing he accomplished was to rid Dark Seas of his invisibility.  Kasai launched spells, the gunners fired cannon, the archers lobbed arrows, and the others assisted with loading and spotting. 

After exhausting resources to no avail, Dark Seas made his way over to the ship.  He charged it from the sky and came crashing down on deck at full velocity.  The force of the impact tossed several of the crew overboard and destroyed one of our secondary masts.  Fitolin was lost at sea.  With very few crew remaining on board, the dragon engaged Amare in combat.  Amare used his Bardic abilities to create a wall of dancing rope to distract Dark Seas.  It was clear now that Dark Seas was no even bigger, had multiple limbs, and was harder to hit.  It also was capable of dealing devastating damage.  We were in trouble.   

Midiyro bravely charged the beast with his katana, but was swatted away with a mighty tail slap.  Tsari'Moti also attacked, but was crushed and pinned to the deck by tail and talon.  The crew who was overboard worked together to stay afloat and rescue each other with the dingy that was floating near by.  While they were all reorienting themselves, Dark Seas took the opportunity to cause more damage.  He tore at the ship and ripped away at the rope wall.  Taji was eventually able to sneak on deck and pull Tsari'Moti from combat, but Dark Seas would not be robbed of his bloody satisfaction.  He proceeded to grab Midiyro and crush his internal organs.  Once tenderized, he rended his flesh and tore him in half.  He tossed one half of his body into the sea, wiped the venom and blood off his maw, then tossed the other half across the ship and into the ocean.  Midiyro was lost.  His valiant last stand will go down in history.

It was at this point that the officers resurfaced.  Nathan came splashing out of the water and the rest of the crew remained on the surface treading water.  Rin and Tsu were not yet above water.  It was later revealed that she and Tsu were ensnared by the remaining mantas and forced into combat.  It did not end well for the mantas. 

Nathan then rushed Dark Seas and engaged in hand to hand combat.  Valdis and Claude dimension hopped onto his back, and Chase activated his boots and flew within casting range.  Me-en rejoined the fight, but in a support role.  He dispelled Dark Seas and gave us all protection from electricity.  After the dispel, Dark Seas lost his additional limbs and ceased to hurt as much with his attacks.  This gave Nathan, Claude, and Valdis the chance they needed to inflict some damage.  Claude with the Greymander, Nathan with claw and teeth, and Valdis with a mighty psionically buffed explosive axe attack.  In addition, Chase was launching potent Ice Darts that were landing and causing serious damage.  Dark Seas was angry and starting to loose control.  He fought back and severely injured all that were on his back and neck area.

At some point during the mass melee, Claude had an epiphany.  He realized that he was pretty awesome and that life would be improved for everyone if there were more of him around, so he wished it so and low and behold, two more Claude's appeared on either side of him.  After greeting each other and complimenting their taste in garb and weaponry, all three Claude's coordinated their attacks. 

After having its defenses weakened and multiple dragon hunters hacking away at it, the true Greymander began to hum.  The vibrato became increasingly loud and disturbing to Dark Seas.  For the first time, the beaten and bloodied crew could see a glimmer of concern in the creatures eyes.  Nathan, Valdis, and Ritvalli (who had snuck up on the dragon) saw that the Greymander was thirsty for blood and soul.  They all focused on assisting Claude, providing him the edge he needed to come down with the Greymander and make one final devastating blow that cut into the dragon's scales and penetrated the brain cavity.  Greymander plunged into its flesh and began the immensely satisfying process of draining the vile beast's soul.  Dark Seas, however, wouldn't be sentenced to oblivion that easily.  His soul fought with Greymander and Claude almost lost control of the sword, and with it, Dark Seas' soul. 

As luck would have it, Claude would come to yet another epiphany.  He realized that T'fop is always on his side and that there's always a shot for the underdog.  He reached down deep and mustered up a little touch of luck.  Like a champion bass fisherman, Claude tugged and pulled at the Greymander, reeling in the dark and corrupted soul like a wriggling fish.  Luck was on our side and the Greymander triumphed in the ultimate battle of will.  Dark Seas was defeated and the crew of the Gaurdian of the Tides collapsed in bitter sweet victory. 

We rested that night, healed, repaired the ship, and paid homage to the victorious dead: Midiyro and Fitolin.  We sent a rescue party to retrieve the bodies and Nathan and Chase made their way down to the lair to gather treasure.  Once down there, it became known that low level magic won't protect people, so Chase had to come back to the surface.  Nathan collected two full loads of loot with the portable hole and we set sail for Port Talp.   

250xp for the battle report

Once we get a total then we can run everything the spreadsheet that Hero so we can give everyone there share.  On a different note.  Nathan exams the body or has someone else do it. He wants to learn if Dark Sea became an aquatic creature or was he using magic to keep him breathing and alive in his underwater layer.

For the people who have died, if we were getting a share then we should give that to their family. It should be at least enough to pay for them to be brought back to life.  Before we dividing the loot any repairs and improvements to the ship should be taken off the top.  I know we discussed several improvements throughout the sessions.  I think we should pay our regular crew a significant amount more then they would have gotten for this trip.

One item you find that radiates strong conjuration magic is a metal alchemist's bottle that would certainly have been rusted out if not magical.

Another is a faint necromantic aura in a similar glass container.

Claude is not able to identify the metal bottle.

The glass container is a potion of Ease of Breath.

Chase can now cast Legend Lore, but it's way too expensive to use for all those items.  Instead, I plan to buy an Artificer's Monocle from Natsu when we get back to Port Talp.  If the crew doesn't mind waiting a couple days, I'll have everything identified pretty quickly.
Natsu will identify all of the items for you at no charge. He just asks for right of first refusal to purchase any of them.

Natsu will not sell an Artificer’s Monocle to an outsider of the religion. They are considered holy relics.

It does not take more than a week in port before everyone who knows anything hears of what you accomplished.

New Year's Day and the Darkest Day both occur days after you arrive back.  This is good news, because traditionally, sailing on the Darkest Day is bad luck.  Most of the crew consider it a divine sign that you were meant to succeed that you arrive home just in time for the New Year.

Neither Jean nor Amare, nor the sorcerers among the crew have it.

So how much are the other items worth? Also we should probably just sell the magic items and split all the money up between everyone.  We also can get a value of all the items include that in the total.  Divide the money and then give that to the crew with an option to take one of the magic items of similar value.  Any magic items that don't sell to the crew will be then be sold as normal.

I think we also need to decide what upgrades we are making on the ship before dividing the money.  I know Hero had mentioned a few besides the see invisible spy glasses.

How many suits of armor can be made from the dragon skin.  Also how much is the dragon skin worth?  It should be included in the total before dividing it up and just as magic items people should have an option to buy some of it. However, the dragon skin will only be offered to a select few.

It looks like 4 suits of medium sized armor could be made.

Claude estimates that the rest of the dragon parts would be worth about 20,000.

Let's get the totals of everything and then divide it. Once we total everything and give out shares then people can use their shares to buy items and parts of the dragons. I think we should give regular crew 4x the share. That will far from break the bank and it will boost morale.

Dragon skin and parts= 32,000
Magic items: ???
Gold: 6,000,000
Art, gems, precious items etc.:  ???

Once we get the total we can take off the ships expenses and upgrades and then divide the shares.

4x the crew share is pitiful considering the bulk of them only get 4 gc/week. I suggest we give them a bulk payout (couple thousand?) similar to what Capt Ispolis did last time. Let's wait until we get the full value of the loot until we decide.

There is a thread on the board about it.  I believe our end result was the magic missile spells all ignore SR, but when you apply a metamagic feat to them, they lose that benefit.

He breathes and smiles.  "The child could not be cured by normal means.  The condition was one of born infirmity.  The book, magical in nature, sought to make the child more fit.  Considerably more healthy.  My contacts tell me it is worth over 100,000gc."

I think that is the same as what I was thinking.  Lets total everything then divvy up the shares.  If you have enough in your shares then you may purchase a magic item or part of the dragon skin.  If we have too many people trying to buy the same item then we will have to make a decision on who gets first dibs.

We should stick to our original formula which is on Hero's spread sheet.  Take the ship upgrade from the total.  Then split the that in 1/2 making the owners share and the crew share.  Take the owners share and divided based upon how much they paid for the ship.   When we divide the crew shares we should give  something like 5000 gp to each of the crew (maybe 10,000 depending on how many crew) before splitting the share between the crew that get shares.

I think we should try to make the extra 50K.  We also should use this money to upgrade the ship.  So we sell the items that sell quickly and use that for the ship upgrades.  Then we take the time to get the extra 50k.  This would be helpful to use for paying crew the crew throughout the years.  How much of the 360,000 can we get right up front without losing out on the 50K?

First cost was to find out what is in the bottle.  The initial price that DM posted was 12k.  I might of missed something but to me it looks like Zunder misquoted the price at 16k but I am going to stick with the original 12k.  This money will come out of the art, gems etc.  So for the first month we only get 5k.  In the ship construction thread it looks like it would cost 150k for the spyglass.  I don't think we need the darkvision but if the other owners agree then I that works for me.  I definitely don't think we need to make 2.  In order to give out the shares we need the price of all the magic items.  Can you provide that for us DM?

With everyone who wants to be there gathered, but not too many to make the creature nervous; you open the flask.

Need to know how much we are paying our blue collar and white collar salaried employees. Current rate is only 4 gc/wk and 12 gc/wk, respectively. How about we keep the same ratio and do lump sum payments of 4,000 gc for blue collar and 12,000 gc for white collar?

Total cost would be 336,000 for 64 crew. After that plus the 1,000,000 deduct for the expense account, we are left with 5,110,000 for owners and stakeholders.

Once you have finalized this, which hopefully Hero can post the discussion results from Thursday for Windblade, the bidding on the Manual begins.

Other way around. 40% owners, 60% stakeholders. It's a 1,000,000 swing. Reversing it gives the owners a disproportionate payout since it's divided by fewer recipients.
Title: Re: How Many Claudes Does it Take to Kill a Dragon
Post by: Hero on July 22, 2018, 11:08:31 PM
Okay, so to recap Thursday's discussion, I worked out a different payout structure for the stakeholders. Previous version was linear based on rank. Proposed version is based on rank + a natural log function that uses a "contribution" factor. Basically, this allows lower ranked crew to earn more if they take risks and make a difference.

Payout Structure = Rank + LN(2*Contribution - Expectation)

Rank is a scale of 1-4 (4=captain), Contribution is 1-3 (1=hid in the hold for the encounter, 3=made a significant impact), Expectation is expected performance on a scale of 1-3 (basically equal to rank, 1=Veronica, 3=all the high level PCs).

So Nathan et al would be all 3's. Junior officers would be 2's. Gabriel would be Rank=1, Expectation=1, Contribution=3 (for standing his ground vs the dragon).

So couple questions before I post payout. Who are the junior officers? And was Claude the prelate on that voyage?

I think it should go 50/50.
Return on investment for the owners on a 50/50 (owners/stakeholders) split is 214%. That’s based on profit, so it’s on top of payback of the initial investment. That’s pretty excessive. A 40/60 split yields a more reasonable ROI of 150%. Still high but less obscene. Break even ROI (owners getting back their initial investment) occurs at a split of ~16/84.

I like the 40/60 split since it puts more weight on paying the folks actually exposed to risk.

I was thinking of 50/50 because of what Zunder was saying. I think most places on Habololy 50/50 would be generous.  However, since we are already taking a million off the top then I am ok with splitting the 5 mil 40/60.  I also think the money for the Manual of Constitution should be taken out of the amount before splitting it up.  The money that is made from the manual will be then be split among the owners.

Now all that being said if the manual is worth 160,000 then why would people just buy one from Tom's shop and play a similar amount instead of bidding on it.

I assumed the manual value is included in the total item value, and individuals would bid on it using  money from their share. Anything in excess of the share can go to the general expense fund. I would really prefer not to make this math any more complex than it already is.

The 40/60 is fine but it is strange to bid on something that has already been counted into a share.  I just thought it would be smoother to take it out.  I would think you make the calculations easier by just not including it.  Then we just treat it as an extra item the owners found that people can bid on.  The money then goes to the owners. 

I also think it will be cleaner to keep the manual of the totals because everyone can then figure out all there other items first and then see how much money they actually have to bid with.  Nathan will definitely be trading part of his share for part of the dragon scales to make a suit of armor.

the 160,000 is so little when it is divided up among all the crew that it really won't effect anyone's ability to bid.  So I still think it is cleaner to keep it out.

With the mission when the crew signed on having been the defeat of Olhydra's cult, and that mission not complete; Amare says that the crew is bound by contract to stay on board.

"I will leave it to you owners to decide if you would like to allow a temporary offer out of the contract while we are at port.  There are a half dozen or so that would take the offer.  There are a couple that will sneak away with their pay.  Or at least try to sneak away." Amare says.

Was there talk of a bonus for the Gunners that bravely came to the deck to help fire the Ballista with Gabriel and attack with magic missiles?
How many? Are they in the 12k group or the 4K?

I did not include a bonus in the calcs. If the Owners vote for a bonus, we will need to decide on a value and re-do the payouts for everyone.

The first appraised value of the book is already included in everyone's take; so that gets subtracted out immediately and is already gone.  The amount above that, Amare suggests gets divided between the stakeholders and the general fund.

Correct, ship expense fund.

Can't have the excess going to the owners or shareholders since members of both groups are competing in the bidding process.

I just realized that the tome doesn't do anything for me since my shape shift sets my con to a bear's con.  (I was really looking forward to those extra HP when fighting)   If people want to readjust there bid and as if I didn't make one  I wouldn't care. Another thing I just thought about is that I don't  think whoever gets it should be able to sell it.  They have to read it once they win the bid.

Why?  Once they purchase the book, it should be theirs to do with as they please.  If Claude ends up with the winning bid, why shouldn't he be able to turn around and reach out to some powerful nations like Iot or Icefia and see if can get them to pay a few million for it?  We have that same option.  We don't have to sell to book to just those of us on the ship.  Our Purser said as much.

There is another divine wand with a 4th level spell.The divine wand is a wand of Sending.
There is a ring with a moderate enchantment that has animal carvings on it.The Ring is of Animal Friendship.
There is magical sailor's style leather armor.Leather +3
There is a rod with a moderate aura.A rod of Lesser Extension.
There is a broken alchemist's jar which is radiating faint magic.????
There is a pearl with moderate aura.The pearl has a Holy Word spell in it.
There is another rod with a strong magical aura.The rod is a greater rod of extension.


Do we still need to identify the items with ????'s

Also, I suggest the ship purchase the greater rod of extension, lesser rod of extension, wand of sending, wand of fly, wand of water breathing, holy word pearl, lightning necklace

Bump. Still some items requiring identification to see if we want to keep anything.

Looking at my notes, I think you have everything that was out there.  I don't see any items missing that would be the smile ?

I don't understand what you mean.  It still looks like those items with the smile face need to be identified.

I don't see any items on my list that haven't been identified.
