Magus Crus

Addressing Kerlan, now, the Magus says, "A scepter? It's a beautiful object, to be sure, but I never fancied myself a potentate who needs a scepter. If you really want to make an impression with that bejeweled trinket, then I suggest that you at least consider making a gift of it to Lord Kyle. Anyway, for the list of spells that you're talking about, even that object is somewhat lacking in value. I tell you what, if I will do you this service, how about if we agree that you OWE me one? And somewhat of a BIG one, at that?"

 

[renau1g]

Xavier audibly gulps at the mention of owing a powerful mage anything, especially a big anything, but so far Magus Crus had been a fair benefactor and so the young illusionist relaxes a bit and after a moment more of deliberation, he nods to the senior mage.

"That sounds fair."

 

[KerlanRayne]

Kerlan looks concerned about the response. "Gifts are one thing but debts are another. I don't like to be indebted to someone else, especially when I don't have to be. I have a very strong practical side." Kerlan then thinks carefully, places the scepter back in the backpack and pulls out a lovely necklace. "Maybe this will be more appropriate. If you don't want it we could also just stick to cash, if you would name a price."

OOC: The necklace is 650 gp. I calculate that to be exactly the book price on copying spells.

 

[Leif]

OOC: 650 is book price for copying HOW MANY spells? Francheska has asked for some, too, now.

 

[KerlanRayne]

OOC: 650 is book price for copying HOW MANY spells? Francheska has asked for some, too, now.

OOC: Fireball(3, 150 gp), Shadow Binding(3, 150 gp), Knock(2, 100 gp), Arcane Lock(2, 100 gp), Rope Trick(2, 100 gp), and Scholar's Touch(1, 50 gp) 150+150+100+100+100+50 = 650 gp. Any spells beyond that wouldn't be covered. I did say that we could go straight cash, however. We have enough to cover it, I think.

 

[Leif]

OOC: But what say Capizzio, Xavier, Francheska, Tylara, and Manny?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Works for Manny - we take the cost of the spells out of party cash (reducing each of our shares by the appropriate amount) and we all have access to them for spell books. Manny can't cast any of them but Scholar's Touch yet, but it's good to be looking to the future . . .

 

[Scott DeWar]

OOC: OOC: Fireball(3, 150 gp), Shadow Binding(3, 150 gp), Knock(2, 100 gp), Arcane Lock(2, 100 gp), Rope Trick(2, 100 gp), and Scholar's Touch(1, 50 gp) 150+150+100+100+100+50 = 650 gp. Any spells beyond that wouldn't be covered. I did say that we could go straight cash, however. We have enough to cover it, I think. if Francesca orders spells, then it ewqquates to like 10 gp per person per spell level. that can be handled with cash, I wouold think. i am ok with trading the necklace for the spells for the party.

 

[Leif]

When you get ready to proceed and give Magus Crus the necessary gold, he goes straight out and rents the old schoolhouse in Pembrose, so that you will have a quiet, comfortable place in which to do all of your transcribing. The Magus sees you and all of the necessary spellbooks properly arranged on a large table and at various school desks about the large classroom, and then voices his assent:

"Make it so!"

(He elects to forego the starter's pistol this time. )

 

[Scotley]

Tylara

Tylara sets to work scribing in a smooth hand, her letters each neatly formed. "Thank you Magus. I have not yet mastered the skills needed to cast all these, but I am eager to learn."
