S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Gold

[s@squ@tch]

Hudder

Darv healed you in this post.

Morph

OK, so, in addition to the rest -- there's a cloak (moderate abjuration), arrows (faint conjuration), quiver (moderate conjuration), 15 silver arrows (nonmagical), 5 adamantine arrows (nonmagical), 2 potions.

Domoris sniffs around the floor and smells things most foul -- fecal matter, decaying and rotting partially remaining corpses and bones -- lots of bones.

In the corner, near the firepit is the harpies nest -- with lots of gleaming coins protuding from the twigs and leaves.

OOC: 1251 gp, 49 pp, and 483 sp when all is counted.

"Now I wouldn't mind findin' a place to rest for a bit, this damn harpy kept us awake for days and....*yawn*.... it's starting to catch up to me" Dori says, then adds "After that I can heal ye all ye need cousin"

[EvolutionKB]

"....The cloak, these arrows," he says seperating some arrows from some silver and adamantine ones, " the quiver, and these potions are magical."

[s@squ@tch]

OOC

I'm pulling the plug on Alain -- I haven't seen rpgramen for weeks. If he shows back up anytime soon, he'll be back in, but as on now, I'll npc him for a bit, then find a good way to say goodbye -- and hopefully not in a Strahd fashion.

Spot DC 15

You notice the lift is no longer there. You aren't sure when it disappeared.

Darv

You were the last one on the lift -- at the end of combat, so you know it disappeared once the investigation of the harpy and the rest of the level occurred.

[EvolutionKB]

Morph invokes the magic of his monocle and determines the magic enchanting each item they found. He is absorbed in his work he notices nothing else.

ooc

Spot: 7. Roll Lookup
Use artificers monocle to id the magic items. 1 minute per item. Should get them all.

[s@squ@tch]

Morph

OOC: I've updated all of the identified items in the RG xp/loot post. Since Morph's Detect Magic was 7 minutes in duration, and he was looking around the place for a bit, I'll say you had enough time to ID 6 items of most interest to you (so all but the arrows and potions identified.)

Garjon's Amulet is a giant relic. It enhances enchantment effects, as you noticed with the Harpy's song. On a humanoid it raises the CL of enchantment spells cast by 2, as if they were heightened.

Hudder collects his throwing axes from where they fell across the chamber. "Ifn there be an extra bow now in the mix, it might not hurt for me ta be carryin one if nobody minds. The more mundane the better since I might break it."

[s@squ@tch]

Hudder spends a few rounds searching the accumulated pile of gear and refuse and comes away with a worn, but still usable MW, mighty (+2) longbow. Upon closer inspection, he sees a faint relief still etched into the wood depicting a backdrop of what Hudder swears is the Mror Holds.

[Shayuri]

Dreadnought starts to gather up the harpy's belongings into his backpack. At a questioning look from the others he says, a little defensively, "I'm not claiming them. Just carrying them until we know who wants what."

That task done he takes one more look around and asks, "Is there anything else to be done here?"

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

I have no use for any of the items.
Say Void
There is nothing in this place but harpy's feces. we should continue on.
The cloaked Gitz move to the exit.

[renau1g]

"Aye, let's go and start smashing some giants, or drow, or whatever else ya've been huntin' out here" Dori says excitedly, his hands already reaching down to his weapon.

[s@squ@tch]

As the group assembles together once again, with the two newcomers, they notice once they near the lift that the shaft is empty.

The lift has left.

[stonegod]

Beast-Domoris looks up and down the shaft for the lift.

[s@squ@tch]

Even the keen eyes of the beast cannot see far enough in the dark shaft to determine where the lift went.

The trip up took some time, and you realize that you aren't exactly close to the ground anymore, but from all appearances, you aren't anywhere close to the top of the building either.

As the others gather around and ponder where exactly the lift went, you hear a whirring noise and then see Domoris recoil from the edge of the shaft as the lift appears from above, empty, and stops at your floor.

Its voice booms out something as it stops.

Giant

You called? booms out the lifts voice.

[EvolutionKB]

Morph speaks in Giant. "Ah yes lift, thank you. Where did you go, if I may ask? Do you perceive as we do?"

[s@squ@tch]

Giant

"Well, if by perceive, you mean being able to read peoples minds when they stand at any of the entrances to my lift-shaft, then yes, I perceive the same as you do. But I can't really know how little folks such as yourself perceive things."

"As to where I went, well, I just came back from the 38th floor, where I dropped some folks off who figure they can break into the arcane laboratory."

"I figure they'll be ready for me to take them back downstairs shortly. No one has been able to enter there since my creators left."

[Shayuri]

Dreadnought perks up at that, and looks at the others hopefully.

"This could be an opportunity to get some answers," he mentions.

Then he faces the door again and booms in the Giant tongue:

Giant

"These others you took. Have you told them of us? What did they look like? Did they just arrive, or have they been in the tower for long?"

[s@squ@tch]

Giant

"Why yes, they were the curious sort as well -- asking 'where I was', 'what was I doing'"

"You small folk are all quite nosy, if you ask me."

"As for their appearance, they were smallfolk such as yourselves, although none of them looked like you mechanical creatures."

"As I said before, I just dropped them off, so they haven't been here long."

[renau1g]

Dori stares at the others talking in the language of his hated foes incredulously, but decides to say nothing, after all they saved him, but the dwarf now kept his guard up around them.

[Vertexx69]

Hudder, HP 85/85, AC 25, DR 5/magic, saves F+12/R+8/W+4

Hudders eyes cross for a moment as stairs at the empty lift. "Did I get meself konked on the head, or is Dreadnaught talkin to an elavator?"
