[QUOTE="Vigwyn the Unruly, post: 1794253, member: 20345"] Each member of the party takes advantage of the mage’s offer. Belisha has her mind set on a wand useful for fighting, which will free up her mental reserves for more…interesting spells. She asks Elwin if he has a wand of [i]magic missile[/i]. [color=orange]"Aaaah—I have just what you need."[/color] Elwin disappears into a back room for several minutes. When he reappears, he is holding a finely crafted wand of yew wood, with a small red garnet set in the tip. [color=orange]"This should do quite nicely,"[/color] he says, handing the wand to the gnome. Meanwhile, Slyfen tries on a pair of goggles he has seen hanging in the emporium on several earlier occasions. At first everything appears somewhat blurry. Then the elf leans over and peers closely at the surface of the counter. [i]A wonder![/i] Slyfen can see through the crystals like he has never seen before! Every mote of dust is a boulder, every crack in the varnish a canyon. Slyfen immediately purchases the goggles. Eolan and Hardin forego purchasing any new items for the moment, but ask their new friend to enchant their armor and Hardin’s hammer. [color=orange]"Of course, of course. These are already very finely crafted items so there should be little difficulty. Leave them with me for a week and I’ll complete the work."[/color] The party members use the intervening week trying to find out more about this Bluerock Lodge. Gathering information around town, they discover that it is located to the north in the Timberway Forest. The Allthrop locals speak of the hunters of Bluerock Lodge committing a crime against nature. It’s said that they hunted the Timberway lions of the area out of a sense of cruelty, rather than for their furs or meat. The hunters decimated their numbers, driving them nearly to extinction. Then, a few decades ago, fey and undead creatures began to appear around Bluerock Lodge, effectively putting an end to the slaughter. Some of the hunters of the Timberway Forest still frequent the area, but none stay at the lodge unless driven there by desperation. (Belisha, with her keen knowledge of the natural world, is familiar with Timberway lions. They are smaller and lither than regular lions, with an almost leopard-like physique.) On returning to Elwin’s emporium at the end of the week, the party has grown excited but somewhat nervous about the trip. Their fears are forgotten, however, when Elwin presents them with the magical armor and hammer. Eolan’s chain shirt and shield were never so impressive, even when new. The links of the chain fairly sparkle with reflected candlelight. Hardin’s plate mail now has not only the look, but also the feel, of stone. And his hammer—his hammer!—has a preternatural heft to it that almost draws the arm along with it. It’s almost as if the hammer [i]knows[/i] where it needs to go, even before he swings it. Slyfen decides to pick up an enchanted cloak of subtle colors before heading off to the north, along with a couple of potions to make him temporarily invisible. The party also buys a wand of [i]cure light wounds[/i] to free up the cleric’s magic for less mundane uses. Hardin’s eyes light up when he sees it. The wand has been carved from the ivory-colored antler of a dire elk. Mounted on the end is a small pebble flecked with black. The party also makes sure that every member has at least one emergency potion of the same spell. They settle on leaving in the morning. That evening, each of the members of the party, save Rufus, has trouble falling asleep. They know that in the morning they will set off for another adventure. Perhaps they will see sights they have never seen before. Perhaps one or more of them will be hurt—maybe even not make it back to Allthrop… But best to look on the bright side. If they succeed, they will bring a thief to justice, and they will be bringing back a magic ring. They have heard the bards sing many a song about heroes and magic rings. That night, after sleep finally comes, the first snow of the season falls. In the morning the party sets out through Allthrop’s north gate, making fresh tracks in the soft white bed of new-fallen snow. [/QUOTE]
