As for myself, I'll probably take whatever is left (or maybe not take anything at all), since almost nothing in the recent loot is actually crucial to augment my character's magical abilities (maybe the boots can help him run away, but probably others would be benefited more by it, since Ignatius already has the options of Levitation and Spider Climb).
As for the scrolls, I think it would be better if Kaled takes them, since being a Mage, he can actually "learn" those spells and use them multiple times, whereas Ignatius, being a Sorcerer, can at best use them only once.
What I'm really looking forward to is a level up! (Just because that's the only way for me to gain power, before I find any magic goodies. )
My suggestion: Varscona +2 - Kaled Plate mail +2 - Fiora Boots of Speed - Vaga Gauntlets of Ogre Power - Fiora Helm of Charm Protection - Fiora 2 dagger +1 - Guston, Ignatius Shortbow +1 - Guston A scroll of Arcane Lock - Kaled A scroll of Mirror Image - Kaled A scroll of Invisibility - Kaled A scroll of Knock - Kaled A scroll of Summon Monster 1 - Kaled A scroll of Ventriloquism Kaled 700 gp -> If Erica is in, we could change in the party remaining gold, this and the Boots of speed for the haste sash for Vaga.

That sounds like a perfectly reasonable distribution to me. Though Guston wouldn’t be the best person to have a shortbow +1, he does seem like the only decent candidate in this party, unless anyone else has some ideas?. I definitely think our tank with 10 str needs the gauntlets of ogre power.
Guston says to Erica, “Do you have anything that I might be able to use as protection? I don’t want something that would encumber me or make any noise, but I felt really vulnerable this last expedition...”
“First off,” Erica says. “Let’s do something about that nose.” She casts a spell, and Guston feels his nose snapping back into place painlessly. The wounds on his face all seem to heal, except for the boils. “Now,” she says as she removes an amulet and hands it to him. “An Amulet of Protection,” she says. “This will count as your reward.” Guston now has an Amulet of Protection +1.
As for Ignatius, he still can use scrolls what Kaled scribes.
So here the scrolls don't get "poof"ed after scribing them? Great thing! Anyways, even then, the number of times one can cast directly from a particular scroll is only once, or is it more here?
Don't know why, but I think that the Ventriloquism scroll might prove very useful.
I thought on Kaled writing the scrolls in his magic book, than making new scrolls. I don't know how feasible is that in the current setting, but that's the easiest way to create magic items, and Kaled would like to be a crafter, he has to start that somewhere.
Erica smiles sadly and says “There is no temple to Chauntea here. Not many people will worship the goddess when the land is as barren as it is. It is my hope that once the curse is lifted I will be able to build a new temple. It won’t be very big, but it will be a start. Speaking of the curse...” she opens another portal and walks inside. She comes out moments later with the black stone. “I need to spend the rest of the night destroying this object,” she says. “If you will excuse me.” She heads upstairs and closes the door leading to the upper floor.
My suggestion: Varscona +2 - Kaled Plate mail +2 - Fiora Boots of Speed - Vaga Gauntlets of Ogre Power - Fiora Helm of Charm Protection - Fiora 2 dagger +1 - Guston, Ignatius Shortbow +1 - Guston A scroll of Arcane Lock - Kaled A scroll of Mirror Image - Kaled A scroll of Invisibility - Kaled A scroll of Knock - Kaled A scroll of Summon Monster 1 - Kaled A scroll of Ventriloquism Kaled 700 gp -> If Erica is in, we could change in the party remaining gold, this and the Boots of speed for the haste sash for Vaga.
I agree to this one! Let's have Kaled say this in character.
What is the difference between boots of speed and sash of haste in this setting, does boots of speed only give movement speed and no attack where-as the sash gives the equivalent of the spell thus giving both movement speed and an extra attack? If yes, then the last proposition is indeed a good one. This would make Fiona a great tank with her plate, helmet and STR gloves, Kaled a good off-tank and versatile striker/tank/mage and Vaga would be a second row striker with "ok-ish" AC but high number of attacks. Guston and Igna (just realized Ignatius, is that playful for "ignite" as in pyromancing @Rik_Kirtaniya?? You do seem to love setting things a flame, hehe.. ).
In character Vaga will not opt for anything, being the modest man he is.
Thanks @Nimran. Do we have some quarters, or we rest in the inn? Sorry if this is answered already.
If nothing else happens, Kaled will scribe the level 1 scrolls in his spell book and he stores the others for later use as a start.
I hope that something happens and he won't have the timee for that however Anduin has not a super hard time to get 2/3 of the plot items so far. I hope we prove to be a better obstacle in case of the dagger.
Edit:
Kaled suggests to share the items as mentioned above.
“No temple of Chauntea...?” Guston wonders aloud, wondering how ever he will make communion with his god without a temple.
“There’s always the temple of Ilmater...” he mumbles. But he fears that entering that temple will make him (in particular his boils) an instant object of zealous interest. He had never been particularly fond of Ilmater, as he always saw Chauntea as more practical in servicing the people, and Ilmater as merely a commiserator.
Of course, Guston’s former congregation probably made good use of the crying god’s services after he betrayed them. Not exactly practical service or worship.
“Are there any other temples in town?” he asks in the general direction of Roan and Miranda, being sure to avert his eyes from Starlen and Emeril.
“Well, you can always donate it here!” Roan says, prompting Starlen to jab him with her elbow. He winces and adds “The temple of Sune in the northwest part of town is another option. You can donate there, if you want.”
Edit: On a wrong syntax (like the one in this comment), @Minion says (that is, a notification appears): "Unable to process your filthy meatbag utterance. Be more precise."
On the other hand, when things are all right, @Minion says: "Dice clatter ominously across the table."
I am surprised that he doesn't use ALL-CAPS here! (Which is good.),
Edit 2: Oh, and one more thing! It appears that the results of the code are always displayed at the end of the comment. (Not next to where the code is placed.)
*Anduin shoots out of a portal, a kaleidoscope of arms and legs, he slides unceremoniously across black marble before stopping below a chair... A chair built for kings, tyrants... gods. A throne.*
*He picks himself up, pats down a few remaining flames with his left hand, before raising his right hand, held between his thumb and index finger is a ring.*
Tymora, bless this gambler. I collected my winnings.
*Anduin slumps on the throne. He picks up a belt and kisses it before holding it to his cheek, whilst admiring the ring.*
*A black shadow materialises above the throne it swoops threateningly until, at the last moment, lands before the throne. A gargoyle, as black as the marble it stands upon, takes shape and bows in subservience.*
Ah. Gremlin. Join me. I was just about to sing a psalm to Bhaal.
All we need now...
*Anduin smiles*
Is a knife...
Gremlin waits until Anduin is finished monologuing, then says “You know, they will try to stop you. They do not share your desire to spare their lives. If I am to keep holding back like this, then perhaps some allies would be useful? I happen to have knowledge regarding a certain orc king in the region.”
Oh, Gremlin, I want to save everybody, but they don't understand. They don't understand... Guston should but...
*Anduin hangs his head sadly*
The settlement may also be sending their best to retrieve the items for themselves...
*Anduin pauses to think*
Ask the Orcs for a small legion of there best and brightest... Okay... Most martially artful. They will want payment... Inform them that human settlement will be relatively unguarded in the possible near future. There heroes...
*Anduin makes rabbit ears with his fingers and nods them*
Will be on a fruitless quest... Tell them they can take what they want, gold, food, slaves...
I can save everything from disaster after my... Change... Go Gremlin. They understand you better than I.
*The gargoyle sweeps up on powerful wings and flies through an opening in the roof. Anduin sits alone brooding.*
No one understands me. I do this for the good of all... For people like Guston...
You paid for it with blood, Fiona. Your heart and your strength far, far outweighs your mass. With the aid of these items, your prowess will increase even further.
Vaga speaks honestly. He was impressed by Fiona’s selflessness and her willingness to sacrifice herself for the group, character traits and actions very close to his own heart.
"Nonsense. I should not get that much either, but our party is the strongest, when we share the items this way. But if you have a better suggestion, taking this in consideration, please share it. Otherwise, you can prove your worth by helping negotiating with your halfling friend and his pets."
“We leave in the morning,” Emeril says. “You all should get some rest. Dorin has been informed that your rooms are free. Consider it thanks for all you’ve done so far.”
*Fiora turns away from Starlen, badly hiding her disappointment and glistening eyes.*
"Do you really think I should take that much? The armor alone would be fair."
“Fiora, this is what’s best for us all,” says Guston in respect of the paladin. “We don’t want a super-strong halfling warrior dressed in formidable armor turning on us, do we? No, of course not.”
Turning back to Roan, looking firmly away from Starlen, whom he is incredibly uncomfortable around he says, “Sune? The goddess of beauty? I suppose... Whoah!”
Suddenly his foot catches on a spare plank and he...

Guston says to Erica, “Do you have anything that I might be able to use as protection? I don’t want something that would encumber me or make any noise, but I felt really vulnerable this last expedition...”
Guston grabs his nose and marvels at the skill of Erica’s spellcasting. His cure spells often cause some amount of discomfort.
“Thank you!” he says, his face lit up and less wheezy, as he takes the amulet and wears it.
“Can you direct me to the temple of Chauntea? I have some reconciliation I need to make... at least what little I can, now...”
Don't know why, but I think that the Ventriloquism scroll might prove very useful.

Minion, roll 1d20+2
To use this plugin, just post the bold text (you don't need to use bold for this purpose - I'm just explaining) and then the formula.
I'm sure this will be a very good feature for this forum!
So, how exactly does this work? Does it auto-roll the checks? Let me try it!
Minion, roll 1d20 for Rik_Kirtaniya
After some experiments, it seems that once used, this plug-in is un-editable, which is good and fair. I like it!
Does multiple roll commands in the same post work? (Because it didn't work when I edited my previous post.)
Let me try a few more experiments to properly understand it's functionality.
Case 1:
Minion, roll 1d10 for A
Case 2:
Minion, roll 1d20+5 for B
Results of the experiment: Okay, so multiple rolling works fine when the comment is first posted, but not when it is edited. That's good!
Edit: On a wrong syntax (like the one in this comment), @Minion says (that is, a notification appears): "Unable to process your filthy meatbag utterance. Be more precise."
