The heroes met in the Solarium of the mansion in Sigil. Tebryn spread out all of the loot and appraised and identified everything. We discussed how to divide the value and the consensus was that the treasure up to and including the encounter with Umaerh in which Hazen had been sent away to Mount Celestia would be divided seven ways, but that the treasure collected afterwards would be divided six ways, since Hazen had not participated in its winning. The grey dwarf was surprisingly accepting of this arrangement. Perhaps he had been mellowed by his vacation on the Celestial mountain. This gave Hazen 25,121 gp plus his original purse to bid with and everybody else an additional 88,281 gp. After much discussion, the adventurers picked the items they wished to keep and sold the rest.
BriannaBrianna kept Valfryn'aonar's boots of speed, two of the scrolls of flame strike carried by the Ethereal Scouts, and one of the potion of cure serious wounds that Paelinn had not had a chance to use. This left her with a considerable stash of cash, which she decided to use to augment her equipment for upcoming adventuring. She bought the Sword of Lamnion from Tebryn, allowing her to summon forth a Mordenkainen's sword once a day to strike up to 22 times at her foes. Since it doesn't require concentration, she can still sing or do other things. Tebryn felt a twinge of regret at the sale, since the item held many memories: he'd gotten the item as a 5th level wizard and had used it many times since then. But, in truth, he'd not used it in many years and could cast the same spell almost as potently once a day for free as a Domain Wizard of Evocation. She upgraded her new boots of speed with the striding and springing attribute and sold her old elven boots. She added shadow, silent moves and glamered attributes to her +5 elven chain of invulnerability. This compensates for the loss of her elven boots, boosts her ability to Hide, and allows her to wear armor without appearing to do so. Brianna issues a command and her armor morphs into an attractively revealing outfit. She grins. Recalling how easily she'd succumbed to poison, Brianna decided to improve her resistance to such afflictions. She augmented Veracity's love gift, a ring of protection +2 and resistance +2, to provide resistance +5. And lastly, she bought a hand-me-down from Veracity - her shirt of health +2 - and hired a wizard to augment the enchantment to +6. Having placed her gear in the hands of the craftsmen who would upgrade it over the next several weeks, Brianna spent several days creating a new masterpiece of her own: a song celebrating Veracity's expedition into the Faerûnian Underdark and her defeat of Irae T'sarran. The new song is a sensation, the reputation of the Heroes of Sigil is renewed, and the names of Tebryn and Yol become known for the first time in the City of Doors. Her nights are spent with Veracity, who is spending her days crafting magical jewelry. After six weeks on the trail, the two are glad to have comfortable - and private - time together.

HazenHazen saw little that he coveted. He kept only the bronze brazier he'd found in Paelinn's room. He loaned most of the rest of his money to Kress, his roommate in Sigil and former cohort.

IgorIgor also saw little he desired, since his current equipment was already carefully chosen to optimize his combat prowess. The only items he actually thought he might use were a scroll of blade barrier from the Ethereal Scouts and Paelinn's other potion of cure serious wounds. But cash is always nice. Igor was happy to add the keen attribute to his favorite +5 adamantine greatsword and striding and springing to his boots of speed. Igor also took several useful items, purely for cash value, just in case he might wish to trade them later for something more interesting: Veracity's abandoned gloves of dexterity +6, Kress's abandoned goggles of the night, and an amulet of health +4. And lastly, Igor claimed Irae's bed clothes of black silks and sable fur. He placed them on his own bed in Sigil and falls asleep each night, dreaming of the female drow he wishes were in bed with him.

KressKress's eyes grew large and he lusted after several items from the hoard. The +5 keen adamantine battleaxe was the best weapon he'd ever seen and the +5 glamered mithril full plate would be a very nice upgrade for him. And the eyes of the spider would counteract, once and for all, those pesky domination spells that he'd fallen foul of way too often. The permanent true seeing and all-around vision were just icing on the cake. Kress added up the price of those three items and gulped. After making solicitous inquires of his companions, he discovered that they'd be willing to loan him the cash he needed. Realizing that if he was going to take on so much debt, he'd need to adventure soon to gain cash, he sighed, borrowed some extra gold, and bought a couple of additional items to help him survive: boots of striding and springing to compensate for his new heavier armor, and Brianna's abandoned bracers of health +4. Much as he'd like to take it easy and spend his cash partying in Sigil with Hazen, Kress looks at his debts and is keeping his eyes open for a suitable adventure to join.

TebrynTebryn was delighted to find the spell book in the library of the house on the plateau. It contained a very nice collection of rare and unusual high level spells. Since the three members of the Society of the Moon are buying it jointly, he has to share it - but since the Society's holdings are all in his tower in Mansfield, it's almost like he's keeping it for himself. He rubs his hand and chuckles. Tebryn buys the rod of the twisted weave. The next mage who tries to afflict him with a nasty spell is in for surprise! He does some trades with his companions. He sells the Sword of Lamnion to Brianna. Ah, the memories it holds! But, he hadn't used it in years, and gold is gold. He buys the spellbook of Baron Lum the Mad from Veracity. Now, that was a mage from the legends - the creator of an infamous machine - and he's jealous that his sister was the one to take this trophy, but now it's in Tebryn's personal collection, not Veracity's. He also helped Veracity out by buying the seven scrolls of rituals of Lolth she'd collected from the Baroness Ramma Anchora. Not that Tebryn cares much about Lolth per se, but it can't hurt to learn more of the customs of his adopted race. For the first time, he buys an item to boost his Constitution: a shirt of health +6. And lastly, he dips into his purse and helped when Kress came begging.

VeracityVeracity is pleased with the fine collection of items she's claimed. The earrings - Rhapsody of Pain - not only fit her "style", but will give a continuous minor edge to her battle. The ring of detect invisibility lets her easily battle "cheatin'" opponents. For the first time, she has something to boost her strength - a belt of giant strength +4. She replaces the 60 mundane arrows in her quiver of Ehlonna with an equal number of +2 arrows making her that much more deadly an archer. Z'henara's tools are deliciously twisted. And lastly, the periapt of wisdom +2 will help her serve her Goddess more effectively, once she takes up a cleric's mantle. Ah, Loviatar. Veracity needs much study and preparation, if she's going to fully server her as a devotee. Perhaps someday to be her chosen Proxy ... dare she dream? But first, it's time to do some crafting. Veracity finally has the gold, experience, and time she needs to make a couple of custom items she'd been thinking about for months now. Simple stat boosting items, but in an unconventional form: a nipple ring of constitution +6 and a nipple ring of dexterity +6. Items which will always be available to her, even if she is otherwise completely naked. Well, that will take 72 days of magical labor. Working all day in the lab and playing all night with Brianna ... makes you very tired in the morning, especially when the Bard has a ring of sustenance and doesn't seem to need much sleep.

YolYol smiles thinly. She's boosted her offense with a staff of frost and her defense with a ring of major fire resistance. Not that she gets into melee much - it's much better to stand back and let the meat shields go in and meet their inevitable fate - but Paelinn's +2 wounding rapier suits her taste nicely. The robe of gentle repose will help preserve a favored corporeal undead creation - or will be suitable for Yol herself, should she eventually choose the path of lichdom. Several scrolls, a nasty little wand, a spear which inflicts energy drain - sweet. And poison. Lots of poison. And The Nathlum. Yol quivers. What more could a Death Priestess want?
