We would also be forced to pair items that don't quite make sense to go to one character. I present the parcels regardless.5 people1: Shared Suffering and 157.5 gp2: Vengeful Longsword and 157.5 gp3: Mithral Scale and 317.5 gp4: Lvl 3 Item (Rod/Harsh) + Robe of Eyes 5: Lvl 3 Item (Rod/Harsh) + Amulet +1 and 117.5 gpNote Parcel 4 is worth slightly more than the rest4 people1: Lvl 5 Item (Vengeful/Chain) and Amulet +1 and 76.66 gp2: Lvl 5 Item (Vengeful/Chain) and 436.66 gp3: Mithral Scale + Lvl 3 Item4: Robe of Eyes + Lvl 3 Item + 236.66Note: Parcel 3 is worth slightly more than the rest.Instead I think it makes sense to split the magic items that people can use between the characters that are going to continue on (Bell, Martelai, Veruzak and Atlas) and split the gold six ways as if each character were getting an equal share. This at least maintains a semblance of what the DMG expects to happen.However when I do so I find that the logical treasure distribution gives Atlas far greater wealth than the rest. In addition we are left with the chainmail, which no one would want. Note that while Bell could wear chainmail it would not increase her AC. It would in fact decrease her speed and overload her. So instead the below seems most fair and logical.So considering the amount of Magic Item Worth that Atlas would receive I don't think it would be unbalancing to split the party gold between Bell, Martelai and Veruzak. (This is again assuming Kendrick is being retired)Proposed Split:Atlas: Mithral Scale and Vengeful Longsword (combined worth 1840)Bell: Harsh Songblade (680) + 250 gpCatein: Chainmail of Shared Suffering (1000 gp)Martelai: Rod of Corruption (680 gp) + 250 gpVeruzak: Robe of Eyes and Amulet +1 (880 gp) + 250 gpEveryone receives 188 time gold (125 + 63 that THB forgot to add) and 30 gp from the very beginning.[/sblock]</blockquote>
