Thanks. I actually show that the Dagger phial is filled with Briny Water. I recall Gundrabu casting Bless Oil or Water back at the sanctuary.

Oops! You’re right. I forgot to note that after casting the spell.

So I'm looking through my computer and can't find the character sheet. I did find two versions of Emral.

How out of date is the one I posted to the game?

Let me see what I’ve got here. Hang on.

Sweet!  Can barbarians wear a chain shirt and helm while not losing their barbarian bonuses?

Man this pandemic is weird. You folks doing okay?

Doing fine. The pandemic hasn’t affected my daily routine all that much. I’m just at home more.

Surprisingly I’m doing *more* gaming than before! My home group moved online and, consequently getting used to online play, I’ve started running and playing other games that my home group wouldn’t—or couldn’t—play.

You?

Gundrabu keeps a nervous eye on the caves as Kondor disrobes and places his folded leather armor in his backpack. The chainmail shirt is a snug fit over his bulging muscles but his flex can still be managed. The steel helm looks a size too large but upon placing it on his head the fit is perfect. 


Then with a blast of eldritch power Kondor realizes the immense power radiating from the steel band. Gundrabu gasps as before his very eyes the steel band becomes polished  and platinum-limned, a crown now  gleaming in the dampened lantern light with 8 diamonds, 10 rubies, 13 fire opals, and 8 opals! Even in this dim light, the jeweled helm scintillates with utter brilliance!

Kondor falls to his knees when he instantly understands the  true power of this Helm of Brilliance: as a beacon against undead, a protector from fire, and vorpalizer! 

Even its stones are enchanted...with Rainbow Patterns, Walls of Fire, Fireballs, and Dancing Lights!

 

[Seems to me that Kondor feels pretty awesome and “barbaric” while wearing it.]

Gundrabu views the barbarian in awe. He feels as if he is seeing a vision of an epic hero, a great warrior, stepping out of the Deeps of Time. He feels the need to bless him with the Waters of Khalk-xu—but holds back; this avatar, this holy manifestation may belong to another, adversarial deity.

[Gundrubu +200XP for holding back]

Gundrabu notices that as many of the stones are gone.

ooc:  Sounds good enough to me, let's go for it!

Kondor stands once more, and strides to the cavern entrance.  "Let us enter this cavern of beast men, and finish this quest. Whoever the bearer of this crown was, they were a king of my people. This is a sign that this helm was meant to be returned to my people, in time for our quest. With this sword, I shall lead the way. Come!"

Ok King Kondor, but first I need to tab up your encumbrance and re work your new ac and such.

[I sure do like the sound of King Kondor!]

[I can't believe he put that crown in his pack and toted it around the last five miles! 
And I'm sure he's beginning to feel a kindred responsibility for that corpse he left behind...on the ground...in the elements.....]

yes and no. He found it stuffed in a log with ticks, and the crown still has magic in it. If this is a Kimmerian king, what are they doing here with a powerful artifact? How did they let ticks kill them? When we're heading back he'll check on the bones, but he's not sure what happened with whoever that was. Probably a thief who absconded with the crown and got what they deserved - according to a Kimmerian. (ie: Conan would be suspicious)

Actually - does Kondor know anything about a crown like this? Any memories of tales of such a Kimmerian hero? At least the tribe they came from?

BTW: here's the equipment weight tallied.

Studded leather  20
Chain armor   30
bastard sword 5
hand axe 2
whip 2
short bow 2
winter furs 4 
blanket 3
backpack 2
bandages .25
sm sack .25
tinderbox 1
hooded lantern 1
lamp oil  1
50 rope 5
grappling hook 3  
pry bar 3
sm hammer   2
iron spikes x12  
iron rations x? 5
wineskin -
Hare's foot charm -
and a steel spiked great helm 2
 
93.75 lbs
At Str 17 he’s light encumbrance until 100lbs.
 
Probably over because I didn’t factor in the iron spikes or total rations, and I’m not sure what my count on the oil for the lantern is – possibly all out.
 
I would be okay leaving some of the gear behind, probably the short bow, the studded leather, maybe the spikes and the small hammer? 
 

Well, actually it was stuck on the head of the corpse inside the log...

King Kondor has been wandering for some time and has not heard any news of intrigue from the tribes of the Kimmerian Steppe. Only the mysterious King of closed off Kimmea itself is rumored among all tribes to possess anything as powerful as this...

The King is free to discard what he likes or keep what he likes, if he becomes encumbered he takes a movement rate cut and loses an AC.
no quiver? no arrows?
iron spikes are 4 to a pound...
