[QUOTE="Tellerian Hawke, post: 7421830, member: 6790669"] [b]SUPPLEMENTAL POST: NOTES FOR LOOTING[/b] [gm][B][U]GM Notes on Various Things That the Party Needs to Know:[/U][/B][/gm] [gm] [B][I]Figuring out the dimensions of objects and how they would stack inside the portable hole is an exercise in tedium that I am not willing to undertake. I will therefore handle it as follows:[/I][/B] A portable hole is 6 feet in diameter, and 10 feet deep, and cylinder-shaped. A cylinder of that size is 283 cubic feet in size. 1 cubic foot of water weighs 63 pounds. Therefore, a portable hole, which can hold 283 cubic feet worth of water, will hold (63 x 283) = 17,829 pounds. I am rounding this up to an even 18,000 pounds. So, keep a running total of the weight of the items that have been placed inside the hole. As long as it does not exceed 18,000 pounds worth of stuff, it will all "somehow" fit. (Hey, it's magic!) [B]REMEMBER:[/B] You need to go back to the previous loot list, and figure out the weight of all that stuff, and add it to the combined total also. [B][U]Gear for Large-sized creatures weighs twice as much as gear for Medium-sized creatures.[/U][/B] A giant-sized suit of Banded Mail weighs 70 lbs. A giant-sized suit of Chain Mail weighs 80 lbs. A giant-sized suit of Splint Mail weighs 90 lbs. A giant-sized Greatsword weighs 16 lbs. Hill Giant Adults are about 10½ feet tall and weigh about 1,100 pounds. Cloud Giant Adult Males are about 18 feet tall and weigh about 5,000 pounds (Delliak and Vulka were not quite that big; Delliak was only 13'6" tall because of his youth. Vulka, being female, was 16'6" tall. Delliak weighed 3,800 lbs. Vulka weighed 4,600 lbs.) Taking a suit of armor off of a Giant corpse will require 1.5 minutes (15 rounds) and people doing so need to have the following STR scores: 1,100 / 5 = 220 Max Load (i.e., 1,100 lbs. lift & drag) 16 STR to be able to strip the Hill Giants (including Nosnra, Kraven, and Darius) 3,800 / 5 = 760 Max Load (i.e., 3,800 lbs. lift & drag) 25 STR to be able to strip Delliak 4,600 / 5 = 920 Max Load (i.e., 4,600 lbs. lift & drag) 26 STR to be able to strip Vulka Thus, unless someone in the party has a 25 Str, it will be impossible to strip the armor off of Delliak. Vulka turned to ash and reformed; therefore, her gear is simply lying on the floor, and can be gathered up and stored rather quickly. Several corpses may be stripped simultaneously, if the party has enough members with a 16 STR. So you need to figure out who is strong enough, and have each of those party members stripping armor simultaneously. Then do the math, and post the results on LINE chat. For example, if there are three party members who have the required strength, figure out the total time required, and divide that total by 3, to find how long it takes 3 people working simultaneously to complete the task. There are 15 suits of Giant-sized (Large) Drow Banded Mail. (Hill Giants) There are 2 suits of Giant-sized (Large) Drow Chain Mail that don't need to be stripped (the two Stone Giant Elders turned to ash.) There is 1 suit of Giant-sized (Large) Drow Chain Mail (third Elder Stone Giant) (I'll say a 17 STR to remove that one) There are 4 suits of Giant-sized (Large) *Silenced* Drow Chain Mail (2 on Hill Giants, 1 on Vulka, 1 on Delliak) There are 5 suits of Giant-sized (Large) Drow Splint Mail ([B]Ogres;[/B] I'll say only a 14 STR to remove those) There are 26 Masterwork Giant-sized (Large) Greatswords [/gm] [/QUOTE]
