[Adventure] Artemis' Pact

[CaBaNa]

Still feeling fuzzy Gil puzzles at Lilli, The fang? Yes, as soon as possible, that sounds delightful! Lotte, when I don't already have open wounds, I'd like to touch your fang. What does it feel like Lilli?

After speaking with Lilli, Gil notices that 7 Rabbit and Artemis are speaking casually now, and joins them. Well done, thanks everyone, for Gil has trouble for a moment, sniffling, Keepingmealive. he spits out all at once.

Artemis clasps the older dwarf's arm tightly, grinning of course, "7 Rabbit, I feel like all my steps have lead me to this one point. I can't wait to discover the steps already laid before me."

He then throws an arm around Shale's shoulder, or boulders in appropriate locations for shoulders, "Shale, you're a scholar, right? Would you like some lessons in humanity? Number one, we like companionship. Let's go hit the Hanged Man! Drinks are on me!"

"I know humans in ways you don’t suspect, Artemis. I’m psychic."

What does it feel like Lilli?

"Well, like a tooth to me, or perhaps a large cat's claw, but Lotte seems to like it in the way a cat might like the side of it's mouth being rubbed and she's simultanously marking you as her's. Now, if you mean being what's it like being with Lotte again, it's like having part of yourself returned; to a slight extent we both share part of each other's conciousness."

Lilli looks over to 7 Rabbit, "I think we need to talk abou this place. Before you arrived I claimed this site, Stargazer Hill, for The Institute for Arcane Cyphers under the classification of being hazardous to public health, though in truth we've both found that benign things can happen here when we are very, very certain that they will. I thought I'd better mention it in case you thought I might be treading on your toes. On the bright side, you might be able to get a grant or something for further study; perhaps you'd like to log the claim yourself?"

Presumably you haul the cart full of silver ore back to town, and find an apothecary to buy the two umber hulk eyes you harvested. You net 100 gp each for the umber hulk eyes, and the cart contains ore worth 75000 pieces of silver!

OOC: [MENTION=79945]JoeNotCharles[/MENTION] JNC I just wanted to say thank you so much for running that adventure. It was awesome of you to take a silly idea and turn it into such an wonderful adventure. I can't say it enough, great job!

 

[CaBaNa]

OOC: Also, thank you for breaking down the treasure in a way that was easy to track! This was a great experience JoeNotCharles thank you for putting it together!

 

[Someone]

OOC: It's been a really good adventure with a really unorthodox group of almost pure controllers, and I enjoyed it very much. It's only up to [MENTION=46559]covaithe[/MENTION] to approve the rewards, but there's one small point of contention (and believe me I don't really liek to look like I'm complaining). According to the l4w guidelines, encounters are supposed to award double the normal amount of XP, and I couldn't help but notice it isn't the case in you summary, unless I'm mistaken

Really?

(Checks charter.)

Huh. They must have added that while I was away. Ok, I'll need to update these XP and treasure awards (the size of the already-huge cart of ore will increase to take in the extra treasure.) [MENTION=46559]covaithe[/MENTION], should I be doubling the quest awards, too? EDIT: yes, according to the charter I should be.
