If "ranged" means that the one that throws the pots uses Dex to attack, then they should go to the rogue or the ranger (Doran or Sanem). Maybe we should split them, though Sanem already has an area attack with his bow. Though, reading that again, it looks like no stat may apply, at which point anyone can use them. If that's the case, I'd say we might want to give it to the warlord, who is lacking range and is more likely to have room to use them. That is correct, no stat is used and thus anyone can use them. What's more, as the group advances in levels and fights more difficult monsters these items will become less useful (harder to hit). There are more powerful versions of these items that are useful at higher levels. These are level 2 items.

The definition only says attack, and that is considered an attack, but somehow it doesn't feel right

Gabe has a handaxe for a single ranged attack but still could make good use of the flask(s), the area effect fire one could prove most useful. No need for him to have them all if someone else would like one?
Gabe will attend to anyone looking a tad wore for wear with a pep talk and once everyone is looking fit he'll gather everyone together, "Hope everyone is rested after than tough fight, we all handled ourselves well as I see it everyone doing their share for the team. I see no reason that we should wait here any longer. Let's move back to the other door and continue forward."
OOC: Gabe will use inspiring word on anyone who needs a boost to their surge value (+1d6). He can use this twice now and will wait five minutes 'for it to take effect' before ending their rest and moving on

Doran is much more accurate (and probably does more damage) with a dagger, and he already has range, so he isn't really interested in them except for the fact that they do non-physical damage. He'll let someone else be the bomb thrower, and I can't think of anyone better than Gabe. We hit a milestone? Does the GM declare things like that, or can we just assume?Doran's Combat Status:
Doran's Health: HP 28/30 - Surges 5/7- Second Wind 1/1 - Action Points 1?/1 Encounter Powers: Torturous Strike 1/1 Daily Powers: Easy Target 0/1 Basic melee: dagger +1, +7/1d4+4 Sneak attack: 2d6+2
What does the damage Mr. Ugly Face did to Doran look like? Is it Psychic?

If anyone wants a Healing Word just ask. Also, how many short rests are we going to take or have taken?

Thursagan will help Howy with the digging. If we are in a short rest he will spend a healing surge to regain the remaining hit points. I have Thursagan at 16 HP (9 + 7 for a second wind). At that point it will take two healing surges to get back up to full, or perhaps one with a healing word or inspiring word. He got healing from Gabe on page 6, with a roll of +2. It was on a spoiler tag, after the missed blow. With that he should only need one surge to get to full, with a total of 3 spent on the encounter. The status should be correct, but tell if you think there is something missingStatus: Thursagan's Combat Status Health: HP 31/31 - Surges 7/12 - Action Points 1/1 Encounter Powers: Passing attack 1/1 - Second wind 1/1 Daily Powers: Villian's menace 1/1
Thursagan's "group bonuses" When Thursagan marks and engages a target, that target will normally stay in place and focus on him

Is this the original goblin wearing clothes made of shell?
"Ah, this is a staff of a force mage. Made to empower their magic. It is not a school I have really dabbled with, I think in one of my books somewhere though..."
Bharash has a rumage through his backpack, which seems to have several quite thick tomes in it, he seems convinced he has what he is looking for somewhere.
Bharash does not have any skills with the force keyword at the moment but I was planning on maybe retraining 1 of his at-wills and maybe his encounter power anyway so can easily swap over to force magic more.
"Oh, has anyone found any hints or clues as to where the magic lens may be? Maybe we should have questioned the goblin."

Thursagan will take one of the flask, the cold one for example. If somebody else wants it, he can take a different one

Is this the original goblin wearing clothes made of shell? Good memory! I missed that entirely. Yes, this is intended to be the same goblin."Ah, this is a staff of a force mage. Made to empower their magic. It is not a school I have really dabbled with, I think in one of my books somewhere though..." Bharash has a rumage through his backpack, which seems to have several quite thick tomes in it, he seems convinced he has what he is looking for somewhere. Bharash does not have any skills with the force keyword at the moment but I was planning on maybe retraining 1 of his at-wills and maybe his encounter power anyway so can easily swap over to force magic more. My bad. I assumed that all mages had Magic Missile and didn't check. If you'd like, I can replace that with a different magic item more appropriate for your character.
"Oh, has anyone found any hints or clues as to where the magic lens may be? Maybe we should have questioned the goblin." In the last cavern the group decided to follow the stench of death rather than the tunnel most traveled.

It will still help with your normal spells, and give you force damage on a crit, regardless of their key words.

Hark & Ogre, I was not moaning. I know it is still useful and would not want it to be changed. I almost prefer not quite optimal magic items sometimes anyway. More realistic and creates a possible character design challenge to optimize.7.0

More realistic and creates a possible character design challenge to optimize.7.0 I didn't think you were. But the item was supposed to be optimized for Bharash, that it wasn't is because I made silly assumptions and didn't actually look at the character. That's what I get for being rushed. Actually, I think I was away from the computer when I picked that item.

We're going on more than a day without any posts. I presume that we finish grabbing stuff, and then go back to the other door to continue onward (maybe pick up the new player?). I know Harknail won't have time this evening, but perhaps tomorrow?

So who picked up what?

The wizard has the staff, and I think the fighter picked up the freezing pot. My vote is to hand the acid and fire pots over to the warlord. Was there anything else, or is that it? Though I guess a couple of people are rooting around in the pile of bones. Anything there?
