I don't think it's much book-keeping. I mean, I'm happy to do it. It's really just a ledger of "X owes Y gold to Z." I could crap out a table for such in a few mins.<br/><br/>Methu doesn't gain any benefit from any of the items, so he'll pass on taking any items.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=283008.msg14014829#msg14014829">Quote from: PaleEnchantress on 21-03-2018, 02:55:05</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">In general I feel like the person who captures them or negotiates the surrender will be the one who expects to keep them. We will just keep in mind that this isn't a hard rule as much as a general trend. Mostly because in the future there could be beings who several Archfiends want for themselves and it's not a race to see who can teleport them into the dungeons first. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>This works if we think we can, just negotiate who gets whom in the OOC. If we think negotiation will work -- then sure. I just thought spending GP kept it IC, and also made sure everybody got something they wanted. Otherwise, like you said, this just becomes a race for who throws out Diplomacy first (or in Methu's case, just keep punching, since that's how his 'recruitment' works. I've obviously not suggesting this for THIS encounter, since 'dibs' are already being thrown around.<br/><br/>In regards to Psionic Ethergaunt -- I thought the GM was leaning towards No last I saw, so I didn't chime in. I honestly think Echidna's breeding/summoning ability is already ridiculous strong -- creating custom creatures that have whatever ability you want makes it even more crazy to me. Even if it's just 'Arcane -> Psionic' -- it goes form 'solve most problems' to 'solve any problem.'
