"Let's get some rest first," Veris says to answer Teslas request as the two women scavenge the dragon's corpse. "If Slisik prepares enough spells to heal most of our injuries I can take care of whatever minor wounds remain."
[sblock=ooc]
I can keep track of the loot.
Possible division:
Errol: +2 greatsword (8000 gp)
Veris: Boots of Elvenkind (2500 gp, 1250 if sold) + 4 yellow Topazes (1200 gp) = 3700gp, or 2450 if she decides to sell the boots
Tesla: Dragons teeth (?) +
Slisik:
Veris could probably get the most use out of the Boots of elvenkind, they complement her invisbility and scoutish role somewhat. Even with the boots she'd only get a +7 to Move silently though, which might still be a bit low.[/sblock]

Tesla & Arcs
[sblock=OOC]If people want, we can try skinning the dragon and use it for armor. Dragon skin can be used to make any metal-esk armor plus druids can wear it too![/sblock]
"Agreed" She says Veris. "I can use the rest of my energies to help remove some of the sand if people want." She offers to the others as they wade through the pit.
OOC: Will manifest Tele. Thrust twice (12pp) on just the sand in the pit if possible for total of 550 lbs.

"The sword is better than mine, but only barely. Errol may have it if he can put it to better use. However, the dragon's scales do seem useful to me. I'll have to see if I can find a smith back in town to forge it into a breastplate." Slisik uses his greatsword to hack off large sections of the deceased dragon's scaly hide, as well as a single claw. He treats the corpse with a strange sense of reverence as he maims it, careful to damage only the parts (that he thinks) he needs. Strangely, the rest of the group hasn't seen him give the same respect to non-reptiles.

The raw scales for crafting will add 100 lbs. to your group's carrying load.
Tesla's efforts to remove a large mass from the pit reveals the rest of the dragon's horde:
3,000 more silver
650 more gold
85 more platinum
Wand of Melf's Acid Arrow (40 charges)
Third Eye (Concentrate)
Arcane Scroll (bestow curse, shadow conjuration, animate dead)
Figurine of wondrous power, obsidian steed
OOC: The steed will not work until we move forward in the game to 6 months from now. For now it is just a minor object d'arte, but not one that will encumber anyone.

Errol waits quietly while Slisik claims the scales. I prefer my kukri for most battles, as they carve vulnerable foes up with ease. For enemies such as this dragon, however, I can't help but see that this sword would prove more useful. I can continue with what I have, if you would like the sword.

"Well done, Tes," Veris smiles greedily
[sblock=loot]
Total loot:
A large decorative wooden holy symbol that once adorned a cathedral of the shield maiden worth 400 gp (50 lbs.)
A strange circular painting damaged by the sand, but potentially valuable if restored worth 700 gp (30 lbs. with frame, 1 lb. rolled up)
A ornate religious tapestry worth 300 gp (10 lbs.)
A decorative darkwood staff with a permanent flame on each end worth 800 gp (6 lbs.)
A mysterious decorative floor-rug made from various materials worth 900 gp (30 lbs.)
4 yellow Topazes (1200 gp)
+2 Greatsword (8000gp)
Cloak of Elvenkind (2500gp)
Boots of Elvenkind (2500gp)
3,000 silver+3,000 silver (600gp)
650 gold+650 gold (1300gp)
85 platinum+85 platinum (1700gp)
Wand of Melf's Acid Arrow (40 charges): (3600gp)
Third Eye (Concentrate): ?
Arcane Scroll (bestow curse, shadow conjuration, animate dead) (700+700+1050=2450)
Figurine of wondrous power, obsidian steed (28500gp)
Dragon scales: ?

Thanks, Creamsteak, very nice
Possible division:
Errol: +2 greatsword (8000 gp)
Veris: Boots of Elvenkind (2500 gp, 1250 if sold) + 4 yellow Topazes (1200 gp) = 3700gp, or 2450 if she decides to sell the boots
Tesla: Dragons teeth (?) +
Slisik:
The obsidian steed is probably too vaulable to go to any one PC, but could probably be common property (I think four people can fit on a heavy warhorse, at least for short enough time to planes-travel). Or we could sell it to a wealthy noble.
Both Veris and Tesla can use the wand and scroll, though not without risk, but for Veris the wand is less effective than her blasts and useful only against trolls and the scroll seems to be more valuable to us if we sell it (it won't win a fight on its own, but it's worth a lot of gold.)
Invisibility beats hide almost anytime, so the Cloak of elvenkind is probably redundant. The boots may be useful, time will tell.
I have no idea what a Third Eye is.
So, it seems we'll get enough cash to divide everything fairly once we get most of it sold.[/sblock]

Concentrate: This kind of third eye continually grants the wearer a +10 competence bonus on Concentration checks.
Moderate telepathy; ML 7th; Craft Universal Item, creator must have 10 ranks in Concentration; Price 10,000 gp.
And note that the scroll contains 4th level spells, which are otherwise difficult to access (because of the nature of a E6 game).
50 coins add 1 pound to your encumbrance, so if the party is limited on carrying capacity they may have to leave something behind.

ooc: What do we know of the Shield maiden? What's her alignment and personality? What is her church like? And how does she feel about tieflings?
Would her clergy fit the role of the unnamed church from Veris background? (Taking her in as an orphan, and then torturing the devil out of her.)
-
Hm, good point about the scroll. It could make a very effective display is used at the right time... Of course, that would also raise the market value. What self-respecting wizard wouldn't give his right arm to get his remaining hand on spells of such power and rarity?
-
Questions, questions. What's the humanoid population of the area? Would it be possible for us to round up some slaves to help us carry the loot back to civilization?

The Shield Maiden: LG deity of Good, Law, Protection, and War. The valkyrie god of protection is popular among the youth. She seems to be an adaption of an elvish deity that took root in the youth of Istivin when they were displaced.
There are other deities at the start of the thread. If you want your background to incorporate one of those deities thats fine.
