Modified from original, amd added to.Dwain (Starver)
--Damaged tunic (wall tiger leather): 10 opal
--Waterskin (surface leather or standing jellyfish leather): 2x 1 opal each
--Cultist hood (wall tiger leather): 3.5 opal
--Sickle (iron): 35 opal
--Dagger (iron): 2x 6 opal each
--Etherstone: 1 kg metal bars, 5 opal
Exchanging Damaged Tunic (+10 opal)
and the worn Tunic (+20 opal,
half the buy-price) for a Fine Tunic (-80 opal), as I might as well add a weakened success to hits.
(net: 50 opal in debt)Sell
one waterskin (the empty surface leather one) keep the other (fill at first opportunity) to keep alongside the one you already have me keeping.
(49 in debt, rolling total)Keep the (non-worn) cultist hood. (The one I wear already gives proof of the mission undertaken at the next stop, but the second one might be useful for someone else to benefit from 'bragging rights' as well.)
Sell the sickle
(=>14 in debt), both daggers
(=>2 in debt), knife now on belt.
Keeping the Etherstone.
I'm good for the 2 opal, once we get to the lockboxes, if somebody will donate. Or swap for priority on the cultist hood I was going to give away later, anyway?
Alternately, as far as the Hydra is concerned, I should think it best to split it. 20 opal per each of our party, leaving 10 free for communal sundries/or bonus to those who we agree were most useful?
(I see that those who attacked the Hydra are Dustan (10 damage, then 5), Louis (fail), Bob (7 dam, then fail), Gary (fail terribly, then 6 dam), Tohil (fail terribly, then normal fail), Alyssa (3 dam, then fail), John (fail terribly, twice! ), Dwain (fail, then 8 but seven of that being overkill). Maybe sharing according to damages? 15+7+6+3+8=39=~4*10, so (rounding) maybe 4 to Dustan, 2 to Bob, 1 to Gary, 1 to Alyssa and 2 to me (which works out as what I would owe somebody, internally or direct to vendors). Or better proportions after group-dividing a smaller base value than 20 each?)
I must say that I'd rather like to replace that skull I drowned. And a fine skull (or two, and one normal one) would be nice, but I'm putting forward the idea, first. I didn't help directly with the jellyfish, so if you want to counterpropose based on that, I'm all ears (but only one head, and no tentacles) as far as alternate distributions.
