Cholmondeley: Inventory at Death

Start-class article · First seen: s02 · Last seen: s03

Inventory for Cholmondeley (Chris’s first character, sessions 2 and 3), a paladin of the Pure Light on the run from Aurelian forces for rescuing Nancy from execution. He won a Ring of Swimming for the session 1 recap and traded the bandit camp’s crossbows for a hand crossbow and a healing potion [1][17][32]. He was killed in session 3 by a yuan-ti woman’s critical bite [5][37]. His holy symbol went to Nancy and his healing potion to Hugo; his armour stayed on the body [6][7][10].

Equipment (mundane)

  • Armour with Aurelian crests: “full military gear with all the Aurelia insignias” [2], whose sigils Harvo knew on sight [8]. Fate: left on his body, by Terry’s later “You could have kept that Cholmondeley fella’s armor and worn it.” [9][10].
  • Quarterstaff (his “cane”): his Shillelagh weapon [11], used for Booming Blade with Searing Smite on top [12][13]. Fate: not mentioned after his death.
  • Hooded lantern and two flasks of oil: bandit-camp loot [14], his share [3][15]. Fate: not mentioned again.
  • Hand crossbow and bolts: he took the camp’s three light crossbows to sell [16] and traded them, with three scimitars, at Sunny’s stall for a hand crossbow and bolts [17][18]. Fate: who carried it afterwards is not stated.
  • Holy symbol: its deity is not named; he was a paladin of the Pure Light, not of Bahamut (ruling 10). Fate: taken from his body to be handed on [19][20] and given to Nancy at the funeral [7].

Magic items

  • Ring of Swimming: the DM’s reward for the session 1 recap, “You can go ahead and add a Ring of Swimming.” [1][21]. Fate: not recorded as recovered; Hugo later claimed a recap ring of swimming as his own [22][23], a conflict recorded on the ring’s page.

Consumables and components

  • Goodberries: in the dryad fight he ate six and spent four points of Lay on Hands on himself [24][25]. Fate: those he carried at his death died with him, “your magic is dead with you” [26][27].
  • Potion of poison resistance: one of Gwen Homora’s [28][29]. Fate: the party drank theirs going into the lair [30][31].
  • Potion of healing: Sunny threw one in with his crossbow trade [32][33]. Fate: Hugo took a potion of healing from his body [6][34].
  • Coin: his share of the bandit haul, one gold, 50 silver and 80 copper [35][36]. Fate: not recorded.

Permanent notes

  • Death (s3). In Sunset is Nigh’s lair a yuan-ti woman’s first bite was a natural 20 for nine piercing and 21 poison damage, and his death save broke his neck instead of stabilising him [5][37]. Last words: “I hate you all.” [38]. No one in Wyrmbough Grove could revive him [39][40]. The party carried his body back [41][42]; only the holy symbol and the healing potion are shown being taken from it [20][6].

Tracked across sessions

  • s2: wins the Ring of Swimming [1]; hands The Egg from his pack to Harvo’s carrier [43][44]; takes the bandit lantern and oil, and trades the crossbows for a hand crossbow and a free healing potion [3][17][32]; eats six goodberries [25]; gets Gwen’s potion and his coin share [29][36].
  • s3: killed in the lair [5][37]; his goodberries die with him [27]; his healing potion goes to Hugo and his holy symbol to Nancy [6][7]; his armour stays on the body [10].
