You assume too much. All I said was to split up the gold. I don't care about diving up items equally.
And as I've already said, anyone else can have the wand, or the scrolls for that matter. They're redundant to my character's abilities.
That being said, Olivia is happy to take them on, and continues her responsibility as party healer.
She'll take 500 gold for now. If there's an item or service that will benefit the party that she can contribute towards (such as the 50 gold she gave Rashid for just letting them stay there) either now or in the future, Olivia can be convinced to contribute.
There is no need to act butthurt about it. Olivia's primary motive as an adventurer, doesn't have any bearing on whatever factions are trying to hoard the ancient secrets. Her choice in occupation is about gaining loot for personal reasons (helping the hungry and poverty-stricken children of her homeland being a part of that). You can of course, call it greed.
It sounds like to me, Olivia doesn't really want the scrolls and wand, so doesn't want to miss out on what she does want (gold) because she's forced to take them..
Rob, is that an accurate appraisal?
If that's the case, let's not force her. We can hang onto them, and Elliot (or someone else) can put a couple skill ranks into UMD, OR we can leave them in the loot thread and sell them later.
No problem.
I think we all agree CJC should get the flaming Enfield. Elliot already has a shocking rifle.
CRIII doesn't need/want the belt because he has one.
JT doesn't seem interested in it really, although for a rogue/ranger it probably has some use. I think he'd rather get some new adventuring gear while it's available on the cheap.
Elliot wants it, since it would make his attacks that much more deadly, but as a character he isn't very assertive, so he's happy to take whatever share the party decides on. If Olivia wants the belt AND her share of gold, it's cool with me/Elliot. He'd LIKE to buy the Engineer's work gloves (+5 to disable, repair, craft, etc.. all things he's good at anyway) but it's not like it's a NEED. It's a moot point anyway, since even at 1/3 price they're 1000 bucks, so he can't afford them.
Oh, and incedentally, not to further obfuscate the issue, but a 5 way split on Norris' cash is actually 400 each. Not that I or Elliot cares. Just saying.
Tossing his gold share to whoever needs it for Rashid's shop doesn't bother him.
I'm happy to retcon my last skill ranks so Elliot can use a wand or scrolls and take that stuff and NOT claim any gold or other loot, if that helps end this argument. OR, I'm happy to take the belt and nothing else. Or really, I'm happy with nothing at all. It's all good with Elliot.
Thoughts?
