((It is a carriage, so it's covered. If that grey bag is what I hope it is we can get even more in there but still no where near everything in a trip.))

((Oh I hadn’t really thought about the bag...! Is it worth shaking out or turning inside out or something? Maybe there’s more gold in there lol ;-) ))

Thanks so much for those loot lists, that's awesome!

Korrik, you've never heard anything about Philosopher's Stones.

Ess takes the 11 gold. "Thanks, bruh! Hey, what do you guys think?! Might be a little loud, but man this is awesome!" he shows off his new armor which he takes 5 minutes to put on. I've updated his stat block. 

Ash doesn't find any other secret doors or exits. 

You can assume that there were ample bolts and arrows. I like the idea of keeping track of ammo, getting half back after combat, etc. but I've never ran into a situation where a player actually runs out. That being said, yeah if you want to track it, I would recommend it! It's fun. I try for Ess but I forget a lot. I did lower his arrow total here now a bit. I will say his arrows all broke that missed. 

As far as the magic items, Ben, you get the following pings but don't know what they actually are. Everything else not listed here does not return any magic pings. 

((apologies if these end up being incorrect - I think they are all good though!))

funny looking bag - conjuration

flat, grey and black stone - a mix of transmutation and necromancy

strange pipe - divination

Spellbook - evocation, divination, conjuration 

Questions:

- So are all of the dead bodies being put in the skeleton rooms?

- What exactly is the plan for the maggots and platemail, and who will be there when it happens?

- Is Ben and Ess going back to town now to talk to peeps and get the carriage?

((I think dead bodies can stay where they are or just lay in the bedroom on the floor for now. Until we get a chance to check out the well and/or bury them. Don’t want to have to go in with the prisoners just to get the bodies out. Maybe skeleton remains stay where they are))

Ash recommends one on the stairs one in the doorway and retreating as the maggots advance. Ash is happy to take the secret doorway if Ben wants to take the stairs. Anyone else can snipe over their shoulders too but need to be ready to fall back.

Also, until Ash can get more daggers, she will grab a couple of the short swords. They can go back in the mix to get sold eventually but she’ll sling one on each hip for now.

Does she like them check: 2 

The swords aren’t bad. Need a bit of maintenance but not bad... just not really her style.

Ben is fine with Ash's recommended course of attack, he just wants to start things off so the armor doesn't get more damaged from arrows, bolts and darts.

Sounds good. We can all only fire if/when they are clear from the armour. Nice.

((@Klein:

• Dice weren't magical? Darn it.
• The bodies are not going to be with the prisoners in the skeleton room. Their fate will be up to Ash and Kay while Ben and Ess are in town.
• Plate first then town for Ess and Ben.

@Grwobert, I'll send a loot PM shortly.))

((I love the 'do I like them?' checks!))

Ok, these maggots have 5ft of movement. Actually, since all of you are still there, and you are taking the precautions with the distance and attacking with missiles, there's no chance these maggots are going to touch you. No need to initiate combat for this especially given PbP!

After the disgusting maggots are killed, you can retrieve from the corpse:

plate 

longsword

shield

explorer's pack

@Rod:

The dice are not magical unfortunately. Ah perfect about the bodies!

Town time now for Ess and Ben?

((Can Ben clean up the Explorer’s pack and it’s contents? And can Ash have it to keep?))

((Yep, Ess and Ben into town. Gather up the horses and then into town with

Leather Armor x 2
Platemail
Chainmail
Shortswords x 3
Scimitar x 3
Shortbows x  1
Blue crystal from house
Golden Objects: a set of five small discs, an apple and a rose.Crystal bauble (5sp, small, from spider room)
Porcelain doll (sailor, green gem eyes, from attic )

Funny looking bag - Not for sell, probably.

This list pending the other two's approval.))

Ben would look into the funny looking bag. Then drop a rock into the bag and see if he can see the rock and then have Ess put his hand in the bag to get the rock out as they are walking to get their horses. If Ess doesn't scream as he pulls out a horrifically mangled stump instead of a rock Ben will stick his own hand in the bag and see how far he can reach in there. As they are walking back with the horses and nearly back to the house he will try dumping the bag out before handing it to Ess and telling him to turn it inside out a little ways away. He will ask very nicely,

"If this is what I think it is Ess it will be better than your shell bedazzled armor!"

((If this isn't a bag of holding Ess is going to have a hard time trusting Ben ever again...))

((If you look at the loot PM you'll find it already in Ash's possession!))

((I can’t tell you how much I LOVE the loot PM.

ps. If it’s a bag of holding, please keep it! I assume you would have anyway

I say, sell everything on Ben’s shortlist above except for the bag

Also...Anything that is too hot to sell... Ash may ‘know a guy’ ;-)  )).

((Edited the list above to add three new items, the stuff we found while searching upstairs.))

Korrik would be most interested in checking out the pipe. Before Ess and Ben head off, while Ben's still got his magic eyes up, he'll cut one of his smokes in half and pack the bowl, igniting it with his sparker.

"If I burst into flames, put me out, yeah?"

((Could you expand on what makes it 'strange' and what makes the bag 'funny'?))

Ben takes a big step back from whatever is about to happen and nods while suggesting,

"If that is the concern why don't you light up down by the water. Away from the boat."

"I mean, he wouldn't have had it on him if it wasn't safe and worth having, right?"

Korrik draws on the pipe, puffing.

"No, but he was very, very bald. Maybe it burns of head hair in exchange for a magically superior attitude."

Ben still moves back.

"Well, at least it wasn't glued to his lips when we found him. If it forks me up, maybe you can talk your priest friend into curing my ailment up too."
