In the morning, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, Occa prepares to do his identification. This takes him much of the day. Finally, late in the afternoon, he announces his results:
arrows: improves your chances of striking a target
broadsword: improves your chances of striking a target
silver horn: Occa is unable to learn anything about this item
plate mail H: protects as well as plate mail and shield

robe: when Occa puts this on he notices quite a few patches and pockets in and on it
scroll: irritation
scroll: protection from petrification
scroll: protection from cold
scroll: protection from magical edged weapons
shield: protects as well as leather and shield
shortsword: when Occa grasps this weapon he is zapped for 7 hit points
"Unhand me, you chaotic scum!" the sword says.
9 sling bullets: improves your chances of striking a target
wand: summons creatures. There is no command word.
wand: creates unreal things. There is no command word.
Occa casts detect invisibility on the wands.
He sees no command words.
Emm chuckles. "Hey Occa. I can't believe you are going to let that sword get away with calling you chaotic."
Occa chuckles.
"If I may be so bord as to ask, but how do your separate items among your companions?" Lo asks Occa, eyeing either of the rings.
Occa says, "Generally, we speak out and mention what we are interested in. If there is contention for an item, then the luck of the gods chooses who it is for. There are some rules. For example, you only put your name in for things that make sense and will help you. Additionally, if it can help someone else more, you should consider that."
Emm looks at the treasure. "I could use the sling bullets and the arrows. My meager supply was lost in Occa's house fire."
Darian heals Occa.
"Thanks Darian!"
"I could use the protect from petrification and edged weapon scrolls," Orlon remarks.
Gonzo examines the sword... "Would youse likes me?" he asks.
"No, you flea-ridden agent of chaos!"
"You might rike me then," Lo says with a chuckle.
Darian looks at the shortsword in surprise. "You talk? Hmmm... What other talents to do you have?"
"Pick me up and see! Perhaps you will be sufficiently lawful to do me justice!"
Occa says, "Who wants what? Lo, for you, I would recommend the potions of fire breath. The silver horn may be nice if it is one of Valhalla, but it will draw attention if used."

Jesse takes the horn and sees if she can learn anything about it using her bardic lore.
"Can you also check the wands to see if you can determine the command words?"
"Of course," the bard says, and will do so.
She eyes the ring of human influence.
"Interesting, could be useful in my line of work," the bard says, "If I may, I'd be interested in this."
Occa says, "Noted."
Jesse addresses the sword, "Would you be willing to be used by me?" she asks, a bit hopeful.
"And what ethos do you serve?"
Jesse inspects the horn for a half an hour, then says, "This horn resembles one that I heard about the last time we were in Casablanca. A great sergeant of the guard named Thryghammer - from the days before the fall of Casablanca to Mestom - would raise the horn to his lips, shout the name of his patron deity and blow on it, summoning powerful warriors to fight at his side. Thryghammer inherited the sword from his grandfather, who sailed down the Pacific coast out of the northern lands."
She takes up the wand of suspected conjuration. For forty minutes she inspects it, then seems to lapse into a doze while she holds it.
"Knowit, Bringit, Summonit, Blackit, Colourit..."
She suddenly snaps awake, clearly not aware that she has spoken.
Taking the purported wand of illusion, she inspects it for a half an hour but learns nothing of it.
"I would tend to doubt it, but I shall try."
Darian picks up the sword.
Darian is zapped as well.
"Unhand me, you self-centred scoundrel!"
Darian chuckles and heals himself. "As you wish."
Occa says, "Any other takers on the items? If not, the rest will go into this group's community chest."
Gonzo examines the shield and tries it out. "Perhaps dis will aid against dem baddies wid more Karumba den me."
Gilstrock won't contest this -- Gonzo can have the shield.
Occa notes it.
"Darian or Gilstrock?" he asks the two.
Gilstrock says, "I could use it, but I'll let Darian have it if he wants it. I'm pretty loaded down as it is!"
Darian shrugs. "There is nothing here that I need. However, I am wondering if this shortsword would help Kadlian. I noticed he uses one and he does tend toward the lawful side quite a bit. If none of us can use it, I'd like to save it for him."
Occa shrugs. "We can consider that. We may be able to trade it to him for something."
"I wourd be interested in these items!" Lo says with a smile, referring to the ring of feather falling and the fire breath potions.
Occa says, "Noted and noted."
Occa distributes the items that have been claimed. Of the excess stuff, he will hold onto the horn and 2 unclaimed scrolls. The two swords and platemail get put into a sack for Lo to carry (unless someone has a holding device of some sort).
He will then describe to Lo how to use the potions of fire breath.
"Occa-san, I appreciate that you think I am strong rike ox, but I do not possess the strength to carry armor and swords and be effective in combat," he explains. "Many thanks for the ring and potions."
Occa says, "You can put them down when there is a battle. Considering that you are probably the least effective warrior here right now, you should carry the gear. No offense."
"None taken, Occa-san, I know I have much to rearn, but I am growing in abirity every day!" he says with a smile as when they are ready, he hoists the bag over his shoulder and carries it.
