Dark Druid says...

I wish I had even half the experience or knowledge of items that you have Daishain, but I don't know what to get. Perhaps it's also a lack of desire (Though in or out of character, I don't know).

A couple level 3 Pearls of Power and a Druid's Vestment (Conflict with leather armour?) are all I can think of, apart from permanent attribute increases. Handy Haversack? Anything else good for a wildshaping druid? What about some light necromancy? Is there an item that can produce a really fast steed like the Phantom steed spell?

The instant fortress sounds like a great idea, though the description I read stated "The fortress cannot be repaired except by a wish or a miracle, which restores 50 points of damage taken." I see no need for a Lyre of Building, at least not in this campaign. Banner's also quite good, assuming we don't intend to cause fear and confusion.

Having the lyre is like having an expert crew of 50 craftsmen following us around and doing whatever we happen to need at the moment. A few specific uses:
-Capturing another fort seems likely at some point, and next time we may actually be in a position to settle into it. If so, we'll want to make modifications to suit our purposes
-If we do get the instant fortress, you noted how difficult it is to repair the thing, the lyre's other function allows it to make structures effectively immune to damage for a while.
-It could also be used on the fly, fortify our campsite while in a really dangerous area, repair the bridge over a chasm, undo the damage we caused to the village chapel before they try to run us out of there, etc.

When it comes to druid stuff, a few suggestions:
-Wild armor enhancement either on your current armor, or on something new. Lets you retain all armor properties while in wild shape. Its a +3 enhancement, so it could be rather expensive as an addition. Note, while wildshaped, only the AC bonus physicallt remains from wild armor, not the ACP or max Dexterity
-With the above in mind, you can probably pick up armor better than the +3 leather. For instance you could wear Elven Darkleaf Full Plate armor, counts as medium armor, is not made of metal, +8 AC, max+2dex, and ACP of -4. That would increase your AC by 2 without any enchanting at all for 5,500gp
-Metamagic rods are useful for any spellcaster. 3/day, cast spells as if you prepped it with a particular metamagic feat. No extra cost, no extra casting time. In your case, you might consider using an Extend Rod with your summon spells.
-Quaal's Feather Tree Tokens + Tree Stride spell equals emergency transport out of anywhere for you.
-Scrolls and wands of utility druid spells. The kind of spells that could save our butts if the situation calls for it, but are situational enough that you'd rarely actually prepare them. Endure Elements, Delay Poison, that kind of thing
-Torc of animal speech grants at will castings of speak with animals. Use it to give complex instructions to Fluffles and any summons, among other things
P.S. The Druid's Vestment is explicitly made to be worn over armor, so there's no conflict.

Dark Druid says...

Cool, thanks for the info! The tree tokens I know about from Pathfinder. Something I've wanted to try for a while because it's very thematic, if a bit cheesy.

Why would I pay for more expensive (And lighter - redundant in wild shape) armor when I could instead have bone full plate!

I also just came across the Phantom Stag spell, that would be fun to use wherever Tree Stride can't be.

With the bone plate, either you never again engage in martial combat when not in wild shape, deal with a whopping -6 penalty to all attacks due to nonproficiency, or burn a feat getting rid of that penalty.

The first could only happen in an ideal world, the second is really nasty, and the third really expensive.

It is your choice, but personally, given how much money we've been getting, a few grand spent to avoid the whole issue is worth it. As a bonus, the Darkwood version gets you one extra AC outside of wildshape.

P.S. You asked about necromancy related items before, I'd suggest taking a look through Libris Mortis, plenty of undead themed stuff there, I'm not sure which would be most useful though.

P.P.S. Is anyone else going to reply in the leader thread?

Out of Character: : I don't think we need much replying right this second. We need to decide what items to buy and post our shopping list as well as us searching for new jobs. I am in the process of nailing down what I want as a 276,000 GP boon is quite a lot of gold for 5th (6th?) level. It will probably be Wednesday before I get the chance to finish this shopping spree.

Out of Character: We can't be sure what is available or at what price, which makes shopping without GM input difficult. I'd go ahead and ask about the things you're likely to want, and go ahead and make a gather info check to get the ball rolling on our next job. Give Kn what he needs to keep us informed.

Bastion shows up after shopping with a strange piece of glass over his right eye and an actual nose rather than the hint of one that had been on the mask he calls a face.

Bastion asks the others, "There are a few projects I am investing in that will take notable time before they are ready for use, do any have an objection to remaining in this region for a month or two? I suspect there is a task or two we can complete in this area in the meantime."

Out of Character: Didn't get the big ticket items from my list. The belt of magnificence in particular would have been, well, magnificent. But that's okay, perhaps next time. In any case, if you guys have any enchanting upgrades to do, they'll likely take a similar time frame. I suggest once more getting the requests in, so we know what we need to do.

Significant upgrade to Bastion's ability to play sentry. Went from +0 in spot/listen to +12, then tacked on 60' darkvision and the Scent ability for good measure. Also major boosts to his AC, and when I get that weapon done, his offense as well. A good downtime.

"Well then, this news of gnolls sounds interesting. If nothing else, it is the first solid lead we have had in weeks. Any objections to looking into the matter?

Out of Character: Okay guys, we seem to have lost a lot of momentum here. Let's get it back.
