Breastplate

Longsword

Musket and 15 shots

Pistol and 15 shots

Frag grenade

Chain shirt

16 50 gp gems

Cloak of elvenkind

Ring of water walking

Gloves of thievery

82 gold

5900 cp

2800 sp

230 gp

4300 xp each

Unfortunately I rolled Bad on the treasure hoard, but you get lots of money, a few magic items you can use/sell if you wish, and I’ll let you get someone to make a cloak of displacement for half price if you throw in the pelt. 

Who wants what?

Also, if you can survive for two more long rests the griffon will grow to medium!

2d20 arrows

15 arrows. There you go. 

Count will take a plate armor, ring of water walking sounds fun but probably better to sell and get more appropriate items. Anything cool we could do with the displacer pelt? 

Chain mail being tossed into pile

I also lost my xp marker (probably from playing around with which level to take last time). Where are we at with that?

Splint or the other Plate would boost Dolrik’s AC by +1/+2, or a Cloak of Displacement is mighty fine, but prolly better for Ben or one of you all.

Musket (1d12) or pistol (1d10) is meh, cause Dolrik is already doing 2d8 or 2d12 magical damage with cantrips. So he has no need of either.

Frag grenade is interesting, but once again better used by someone with high Dex.

Should we be looking at more healing potions/healer’s kit refills?

Frag grenade is a one-time thing, btw.

 Should be 11650 but I could be wrong.

 Take it. The more ac the better.

can always keep the splint as a backup. 

Nadir, Yoku? Not sure if either of you could use the Plate or Splint. If not, Dolrik will snap them both up and put two sets of Chainmail into the loot pIle for sale.

IIRC Nadir currently has plate, count now has plate and a backup set of splint. You should be good to go.

Yeah, Nadir has plate already. Cool that we could get one set for each. Nadir’s XP is at 11980. The cloak could be nice for Yoku, Ben or Dolrik, I think. Not sure what we could do with all the money. Any ideas/desires?

Nadir will reduce the wackystick to +3, which makes it still an awesome weapon but leaves some room for crits.

 Yoku only has breastplate. With my 18 dex, I should be looking for studded leather +1 for an AC 17 which will go to AC 18 after he reaches 8th level.

Starting with 2/40, recovers 12, looting 15, gets him back up to 29/40.

He will borrow from his home stash 11 more arrows to get his quivers back to full

I wouldn't mind getting some better armor for Sir Spitz, I had originally planned to take the Mounted Combatant feat to protect him but did warcaster instead. But Splint for a mount is pricey so it's not the highest priority.

Woukd it make sense to save for a saddle of the cavalier for the griffin? Not sure it adds enough benefit since Nadir already has the feat. Or was someone else planning to use the griffin which would make it more useful? 

I think healing potions should be stocked up on, that last go round got a bit tight.

I thought perhaps Yoku would be good on the griffin as it flies and keeps him out of harm's way. But we have to wait that the griffin grows to large for that. Until then the griffin will have to fight alone, perhaps it can get some nice armor like splint mail. It's still only medium sized so I guess the price is the same as normal splint. I think you can take some good armor for Sir Spitz, Splint isn't too expensive and offers quite good protection. 

Yes, I also think we need more potions, and probably better ones too. Adamantine armour is always nice as it makes crit immune and it isn't too expensive. According to the price list the displacer cloak is worth some 60000 gold, so if we don't need that (I think it is very strong for either Count or perhaps even the griffin?) we can sell it and buy other stuff.

I missed the griffin wouldn't be rider ready. How much would it cost to have the displacer cloak made from the pelt?

 Oh, right. I wasn't reading carefully. We don't have the cloak yet. Well that would cost 30'000gp. 

I'm curious how it would be to ride the Griffin. 

Do I need to train animal handling? 

We didn’t need that for the camel and horse. I think it s assumed we train it during down time.

 Actually I might drop the price even more cause I expect the pelt is the most expensive component. Say 10-15’000?
