All things considered, while I'd prefer option C, it would require bookkeeping to keep everything straight, which might not work out as well for a PbP game as its does in face-to-face play. So I'll vote for option A just to keep things simple.

 

Which means Cyrius will have to settle for a MW chain shirt. (I assume he can sell his current armor for half price?)

I just thought of a fourth way that may be good for all. Everyone gets 10% (152 gp), then those that did not take look split the rest (457 gp each). This would mean the non-loot takers would still get more gold, but the loot takers would have money for food/shelter... And even being the geeky person I am, I am attaching a spreadsheet you can use to split the treasure, but I did not build in for decimals. Use it if you like the idea, or don't use it, it is fine with me. This is just another idea.

OK, I admit it, I have no life. But with just some time to kill and liking to play in Excel and figure things out. I know have it splitting down all of the money, if I have my math correct. Again, it was something to do, so use it if you like.

It's entirely up to you guys how you want to split the treasure. I'm not going to force any one solution. But kabkal's proposal seems like a compromise between A and B, which seem to be the leading candidates.

For those of you who don't want to bother looking at kabkal's spreadsheet, his proposal is:
[list][*]Marcus and Lola each get 152 gp, 6 sp, and 2 cp
[*]Cyrius and Tex each get 610 gp, 4 sp, and 8 cp[/list]

Is everyone okay with that or do we need to discuss further?

I'm willing to go with the kabkal solution, but here's the spreadsheet I made for the face-to-face campaign I'm in.

The bold-face amounts are those that aren't halved for sale value (coinage, jewelry, etc). If someone wants an item, put their name(s) in the green field and the number desired in the column with their initial. As you can see, the per-person share comes to 1407.8 GP each, but with Lola and Marcus taking more than that they get no coin, and Cyrius and Tex have their shares reduced (manual correction). The debts owed by one member to others this way are recorded on the Party Treasure sheet.

It does ensure that, in the long run, things even out.

I would still prefer B (or C if some one wanted to do the bookkeeping). Food/Shelter isnt an issue since those with gold will jsut cover those without, so whether or not someone has cash money doesnt really matter at all, so long as some do.

Either way, they're all going to be well under what we would be with fresh 3rd level toons, which would be about 3k (pg 399 PFRPG). Tex is sitting at 300 right now. 10%. And even with the ~700 gp, he'd still be at only 30%. So if the encounters are geared for a lvl 3 party, ours will be well under powered.

This is just me, I'll go along with the majority.

Here's the thing. Fighter's never have use for wands. Wizards have no use for armor or swords. Neither are trained well in the use of their opposite. There should be no debt incurred for taking an item that no one else can use or wants, as long as that item is usable to that character.

I'm not fond of either sheet, but if Marcus would be incurring a debt for items that would benefit the party, then he's sure to lean on the cost of his skills and talents that aid the party.

With CGM3, Lola and Marcus incur a debt that is sure to only go up until Tex and Cyrius take items, but then what, the debts of others could still give all the gold to those without debt even if they take items.

I've played both ways, just take what is useful to you and split the gold, just take what you want and go in debt as if buying that item from the party, and both work. Unfortunately though, the one that accrues debt tends to get uneven by my experience. I've made my vote, I have not much more to say. I'm not liking Kabkal's sheet much either. Sorry.

So you're voting for Option A. Okay, in the inerests of getting things moving again, I'll second the motion. Anybody opposed?

Success! This outcome is certainly easiest for me, since it's what the Loot Divider already does. I think it will work out to be fair in the long run, too.

So, one last time, the division of loot is as follows:

Loot for each of the 4 players: 381 gp, 5 sp
[list][*] Wand of Shatter (7 charges)$315 {Marcus}
[*] Goggles of Minute Seeing (625gp) {Marcus}
[*] Wand of Unseen Servant (16 charges)$120 {Marcus}
[*] Quarterstaff [MW] (150gp) {Marcus}
[*] Pearl of Power (1st) (500gp) {Lola}
[*] 3x Potion of Cure Light Wounds (25gp) {Lola}
[*] Ring of Feather Falling (1,100gp) {Marcus}
[*] Short Sword [+1] (1,155gp) {Lola}
[*] Ring with Star Design? (50 to 80) {Lola}[/list]Generated by the Loot Divider, Version 1.20

So, please do the following:
[list][*]Add the gold and any items to your character sheets
[*]If you are buying anything from Oswald, Venelle, or the Captain's Blade, include that in your sheet, too, deducting the appropriate gold
[*]Post your revised sheet in this thread[/list]

In the meantime, feel free to decide what to do next. The ghost Alastor Land gave you directions to where his family farm used to be: west of town and just south of the Badquen Road. If his directions are accurate, it would be the abandoned farm farthest west on the map here.

I forgot that Marcus has a masterwork mace. With that, he'd have no reason to keep the quarterstaff. If someone else wants it, Lola maybe, fine, otherwise, that would be sold too. Sorry.

Hint: keep the quarterstaff; there's something special about it yet to be revealed...

Right I think I remember you saying something before when it was a three section staff.

Descriptive information for the masterwork quarterstaff: This staff of petrified wood tapers from the diameter of a finger at its tip, to about two inches across at its base. It has six evenly spaced grooves encircling the shaft, suggesting seven segments.

I've even got a picture, so you know it's important...

We're not selling the lanterns. We need them to get back in there and finish exploring. Right? We are still exploring the whispering Cairn?

Correct. You will need the lanterns again after you've completed burying Alastor Land's bones, to get back to the door he's supposed to open for you.

I just need Lola's revised sheet now. Are you guys going to go directly to the alleged location of the Land farm or was there something more you wanted to do in town first?

Obviously we're not selling the lanterns! i was comparing the number of sections on the staff to the number of lanterns. 6 lines on the staff creates 7 sections.

and, there are 7 lanterns. Indigo, Violet, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red.


dunno if that means anything, but there you go.
