[sblock=ooc]I'm fine with leaving now that the job is done, but I think some members of the party may have moral issues with leaving 'the hungry one' and whatever else to die here. We also should grab the goblin before we go.
What Menik plans to do with the spellbook is to copy the spells that seem more useful into his own spellbook, and then sell the book. (A wizard can prepare spells
from another's book, but not reliably.) In particular:
level 1: Corrosive Touch, Shield, Detect Undead, Cause Fear, Chill Touch, Sculpt Corpse, Ray of Enfeeblement, Interrogation, Ray of Sickening
level 2: False Life, Blindness, Flaming Sphere, Book Ward, Resist Energy, Stone Call, Summon Monster II, Summon Swarm, Create Treasure Map, Burning Gaze, Spontaneous Immolation, Command Undead, Ghoul Touch, Spectral Hand, Unshakeable Chill
Based on the standard cost to borrow a spellbook, copying these spells would have a value of 5 gp per 1st level spell, 20 gp per 2nd level, for a total of 9 x 5 + 15 x 20 = 345 gp. It will also cost him twice that to then write the spells into his book, for a total treasure value of 1035 gp.
He would also like to keep the pearl of power (1000 gp), which would bring his take to just under the cost of a +1 weapon, which should be about right.
I've enjoyed playing with all of you and SK you did a great job of keeping it interesting and keeping the pace up. I expect we'll all 'meet' again in future LPF games.[/sblock]
