[LPF] Toad in the Hole

[jbear]

"So ... not Hufflings. That makes me happy. Because Hufflings is one of te less scary things I have seen in my life. When I see one I want to pick them up to cuddle not run away and give them swords. But te Puffwampi don't sound very much more scary. I think te Driver is a big coward who runs away from his own shadow!"

Maui seems very unimpressed by the man and his story. He laughs out loud when Vargas smacks him in the back of the head.

"Ok. I like te Angry Lady. Maui will help against Forgotten Daughter's cousins and bring back te swords. I knew her family was trouble making."

He looks at the half elf.

"Stories are like treasures. You are wise to listen to your Lady Axe's stories. What is te meaning of 'cold iron gets te Puffwampi's attention'? What is this cold iron and where can Maui get some?"

 

[Caim]

"Who's drunk?" Alvise says, not entirely convincingly. "And it ... it was a trap! We couldn't see the pit, okay? So it was a tarp, or leaves, or something. I don't know ... the horse fell, and the next thing we knew, the puff-wamfers was all over and we was running. I didn't exactly have time to sit down and look over what they put out for us. 'Ooh, this seems to be a triple-baited spring trap mechanism with a Foisty-Majeur camouflage array! What? Is a that a nightmare doggie poking a blade in me kidney? Ooh, that smarts a bit! What travails I must endure for science!' Yeah ... bugger that."

Mortar simply glares at Alvise for moment. "So your a bard? Got a few jokes do ya? How bout I take me hammer here and shatter your knee caps. Ya don't need knee caps to be a wagon driver." Mortar then looks to Varga. "Or maybe ya can be her pin cushion."

"Oh, he will be assisting you to return the cargo, or he'll have me to deal with. And Alvise ... let me assure you I can be much, much more unpleasant than a pack of wee gremlins."

Mortar shakes his head in disgust. "So we have to drag this incompetent drunken coward along with us?"

 

[Caim]

What is this cold iron and where can Maui get some?"

"Cold iron is a special metal that hurts certain creatures, demons, or devils more that common iron. The Mystic Pearl should have some cold iron weapons."

[sblock=OOC]Sorry for the double post. Just realized I didn't select Jbear's post for the multi quote.[/sblock]

Maui nods his head thoughtfully as Mortar enlightens him as to the use of cold iron and where he might find it.

"At te Pearl. I like that place. Hmm ... A metal to fight demons. Most interesting. I wonder how much it costs ..."

Maui looks at his very lightly loaded pouch with a frown.

[sblock=Advice] Is there a way to coat claws with Cold Iron? Otherwise Taniwha's attacks are going to be useless. Also, does a +1 cold iron sword cost more than a +1 sword? I will look it up myself but its late here and I know that many folks know this stuff off the top of their head, so I may as well ask the pros. [/sblock]

OOC: i am pretty sure cold iron is more expensive... from d20 pfrpgsrd: "Weapons made of cold iron cost twice as much to make as their normal counterparts. Also, adding any magical enhancements to a cold iron weapon increases its price by 2,000 gp. This increase is applied the first time the item is enhanced, not once per ability added. A double weapon with one cold iron half costs 50% more than normal." so a cold iron rapier would cost 40 gp, lucern hammer would be 30.

"I think I'm going to run over to te Pearl and buy some cold iron to fight te Puffwampi. Taniwha, haere mai!"

With little ceremony the druid leaves, running at full pace towards the Mystic Pearl.

Surprisingly quickly the druid has returned, chest heaving, Taniwha by his side.

[sblock=OOC] So 4630 gp for a +1 cold iron scimitar, right? Far beyond my means. So MW would cost 630 gp? Or is the double price only the scimitar itself not the MW quality price as well? 330 gp. I have read the page entry myself but I still have this doubt. I could do that if I sell a few things. Is there some type of alchemical substance I can coat on Taniwha's claws? Edit: Seen Weapon Blanche: Cold Iron. Pretty expensive for 1 use. Can you even put that on natural weapons? I doubt it. Second Edit: I'll just get a normal one, save hassles. Done. Maui's ready to go.[/sblock]

"good idea" says Vincenzo as he follows.

 

[Systole]

At Mortar's threat, the half-elf starts edging away from the dwarf, until he realizes that this is bringing him closer to Fae'shiel, and which point he tries edging backwards, but this only brings him closer to Varga. "I should've stuck to frog hunting," he mutters again.

"So we have to drag this incompetent drunken coward along with us?"

"He's going to drive the wagon and show you the scene of the attack, yes." She spares a look of disgust for the former frog hunter. "Beyond that, I certainly wouldn't expect anything from him. Now, if you leave in the next hour or so, you can make it to the Owl and Stag Inn today, and you'll be able to start the investigation first thing tomorrow. Any other questions?"

GM: The DR on the pugwampis will cut into Taniwha's damage output, but he won't be totally, uh, neutered. It's a pretty minor DR.

..... Varga Renlow ......... Alvise Biaggio ...

 

[Scott DeWar]

to all of the crew shows a vial of weapon blaunch.

"This on a weapon will work for one hit on these creature, but if we attack with missile fire, we can coat the heads of ten arrows."

 

[DalkonCledwin]

OOC: I am assuming that my spells will be unaffected by the damage resistance. Other than that I will be relying on my sword, but I will be fighting to disable more so than to kill in all likelyhood so it shouldn't matter too much.

Fae'shiel looks at the vial of weapon blanch and shrugs. She then looks at Marcus and says "Why is everyone so quick to rush into violence against a subspecies of the Fey that probably doesn't have any other alternative in order to survive?"
