Sean smirks. "I look forward to one day being able to wander into the middle
of a host of our foes, casting my own entanglement prayer, and putting three
point blank arrows into any foe in the field I wish." He smiles. "As for
saving your bacon, I can do that without the ring. With the ring works fine,
too."

Subject: [stoddard] Re: Mawby IDs At this point Sean will not take the ring
regardless. If you think him in jest, recall that he has not and will not
accept magical healing from Elmore from the moment Elmore complained about
being a pointy eared walking band-aid.. For a short lived human, he has a long
memory.
As for the balancing of costs and benefits, we are all capable of doing so.
And to think Sean heard the Ode to Joy when he learned of the ring (a la the
bad guys when they opened the vault in Nakatomi Plaza). Now he wants nothing
to do with it.

I get the reason why y'all want the ring on a front line fighter. Remember,
however, that a held Carandolana or otherwise entangled one means no Entangle,
no Heat Metal, no Summon Insects, and most likely no distribution of
Goodberries.
And I don't seem to remember much support for Carandolana from the party. Holly
will have her back, but the rest of the party is off doing their own things.
Carandolana is *not* a rogue. She's a druid/scout. The only rogue I know of in
first edition is a character class I created as a halfway point between fighter
and thief.

Elmore is of the opinion that Sean or Ahearn would make best use of the ring .
They both often function as our scouts away from all other support. A Hold
Person or a number of other movement affecting Magic’s or effects could slay
both of them if they are out on their own. Carandolana usually has at least
some support from group or she’s in a form not recognized as a target.
That said, I do think we should be considering Cara for a choice magic in the
near future. Elmore has received two particularly good magic items in his
career here, his mace and his ring of spell turning. His other two rings are
very circumstantial (water) in how often he’d use them. He keeps the ring of
water breathing on as his second normally worn ring. He can swim normally, just
may not be as strong a swimmer as our fighters and he hates seeing the party
sell off a useful magic someone could use which is what he thought the party
was going to do with the ring of swimming unless someone spoke for it. He does
have a magic shield he upgraded from on his last magic shield. Here’s a thought
though, and might run it by Cara and see what she thinks. She can’t wear metal
armor, but I’m wondering if she could wear enchanted dragon scale mail or if
that would even be an interest as she isn’t just a Druid, she’s also a rogue.
Not being made out of metal, I wonder how much that would affect her stealth.
There is an old best of dragon magazine that details dragon scale mail. The
bonus against the dragon’s breath weapon or the type of damage isn’t great if I
recall, but it is something ordinary armor doesn’t have. She’s had to pay for
nearly all her gear out of pocket. If the armor is something she’d be
interested in, it might not hurt if we each chipped in a bit to help pay for
the enchantment so she’s not fully out of pocket to get something she could
use. Steve of course might have arbitration on how much it costs for the armor
to be made then enchanted, as well as effects on stealth.

Sean is patiently awaiting the consensus of the party regarding possession of
the ring of free action. His offer stands (assuming actual possession of the
treasure is not necessary to gain the experience for having recovered it), he
will take no other share but the ring, or will donate the entirety of what he
is awarded to his various charitable interests.

I don't have a magical dagger that I see in my character sheets, if Holly has a
lesser one I would be more than happy for her to take the +3 and give me the
lesser one as a back up. If she doesn't then I defer this blade to her anyway.
She should have something for close combat.

As much as I would like a ring like that, I think it would be most useful in
your hands, so Sean has my support on the ring.
If no interest in the dagger, I would be most interested in it. But I prefer
coin right now. So if someone wants the dagger, I would yield any claim.

This may be the happiest day of Sean's life......
He'll need to take his cut in gems or jewels. Or, in the alternative.....
He'll take the ring of free action, Tina's hand in marriage, and everyone's
best wishes. Assuming everyone is OK with that.

For the low cost of 3000 gold my Uncle Mawby has identified; The dagger is +3,
The sword is -2, he will purchase it for 400 gold.
The ring appears to be free action.
My Uncle Mawby is in a good mood and will give you top value for the gems,
(5050 gold) and 30100 in gold for the jewelry items.
I am thinking thencurswd sword may come in handy of we need a strategic
maneuver or something...
