It's so tempting to get a jeweler competent to make subtle changes in
enchanted items to turn that ring of free action into Sean's wedding ring.
Note also, Sean wouldn't probably notice Carandolana's lack of much of any
magic items, because she's got magic weapons on hand. I forgot to include
the bow Holly gave her, which also makes a great balance pole.

death... but you had better get a thicker skin or you will never survive
marriage! Carandolana, for someone so tough you feelings are like the very

for all of you starting now!"
"But fine, you two don't want the ring because your stubborn pride, I'll
take the ring and give up one of the ones I am carrying. And when either one
of you freezes I will move so fast and shove it on your damn hand to get you

to keep moving because that bow can keep ALL of us alive! Carandolana has
other means of keeping moving... you and I... DON'T!"
"And don't get me started on Elmore!"

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.

Holly, do you have a magical dagger at all? If not, take the +3. If you

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.
