[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6286064, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN 06 THE DRUID SEGMENT 055 “THE VASE” 4/06/14 NYMM 28, 999 “I found this in there. I considered opening it-“ “NO!” calls out Truth with Cy being quick to agree. “What is it?” the catfolk adventurer asks. “Allow me.” Says the warforged artificer as he carefully places a metal tipped finger on the ceramic vase. For a moment – nothing happens. Then His normal artificial vision is replaced with patterns of energy. Magical energies glow brightest. The vase is surrounded but magic. The purplish- black energy suggests necromantic energy. Old. Powerful. “Not a vase- it’s an urn.” Says the warforged. Assimo watches with interest. He is watching the artificer closely. Something about this creature…… “Well- as agreed, that vase is Morgrave University property. May I?” says the gnome reaching out to grasp it. “NO!” calls out most of the group at once. “It was in our agreement.” Whines the gnome map maker. RAF is deciding whether to kill the gnome and break the vase to destroy whatever is in it or destroy the vase first then kill the gnome. Maybe kill the gnome WITH the vase…… “Yes, but…..” his words trail off to silence.” Truth doesn’t fear… he KNOWS the gnome will drop the vase. After a quick discussion, they decide to place the vase on the ground and walk thirty feet away. Then the gnome may go to it to carry it. (safer- right?) The gnome is annoyed by the distrust but at least he gets the vase to return to the university (and hopes to be taken more seriously by the university as such). The gnome walks up to the vase. Scratches ducks under his robes in the pouch the gnome made for him within his robes. He picks up the ceramic pot carefully. It is heavier than he thought it would be. He begins to walk slowly to them. His feet brushing on the robes that drag on the ground. Everyone is waiting for a mishap of clumsiness to happen. “See. We’re good.” Says the gnome to RAF. He turns to show Truth and gets his feet twisted in the robe and he stumbles forward. But catches his balance. “Hee…. We’re good.” Blushes the map maker. The gnome turns to leave. Truth shakes his head and says it is time to go. The gnome turns quickly- “But I haven’t finished map….” Crap happens. The urn falls up and out of the gnomes hands and strikes the warforged in the chest. Light gray ash bursts out and coats the artificer from head to toe. It is within his robes even. If RAF could smile he would be now. “Ahhhhhh!” calls out the artificer as he quickly pulls off the robes and reveals he is wearing pants today. The gnome begins to ask about the pants as the artificer is now trying to get the ash out of his pants. The vase somehow didn’t break but ALL of the contents were spilt. Spilt on the warforged. The ash seems to have gotten under the light metal plates and joints of the wood also. Truth is VERY unhappy. It takes a long time to get most of it off of him. “At least the vase is lighter now….. easier to carry.” Smiles the gnome in embarrassment. “Should we camp here?” asks Cy. “No. I don’t want to be here if more skeletons or worse … return.” Suggests the warforged soldier. So they allow the gnome to finish his mapping. He places the maps into the urn, and happily marches after the leaving group. [/QUOTE]
