Brave New Planes

[Serpenteye]

"Do you think we have any means of transporting all these items? I myself have a magical bag, but I doubt we could fit much of them in it."

"I can keep a Gate open for about two and a half minutes. If we prepare ourselves properly we should be able to transport most of this within that time span. I still have my worries about the security of Sune's temple, but that would be the most convenient destination. We could keep the treasure, heavily guarded, in a storage room, and before it's time to take it back to Sigil we would have time to make all the preparations we would need."

Brystasia Purelove: Half-Nymph/Female (Avenger/Favored Soul/Heartwarder)

Brystasia is shocked that the Cimmerians answer, “I’m honored my noble sire.” She smiles and blushes slightly as she corrects herself, “I mean Conan. I’m told every name has a history and I hope to hear yours when the time is more appropriate.”

Brystasia smiles at Sandorel slightly surprised at how willing to cooperate he is now, “The items are yours so do not worry about possession as long as you treasure them and respect their beauty the Sunites in the temple will leave them to you.”

She address the whole group, “Of course their will be an equal share to everyone, if theirs no way to make it equal I will take less than the rest of you.”

"I shall take a load and explain to my brothers and sisters our need for help in moving these many wondrous treasures. I’m sure they will be able to help provide manpower to move objects,” She turns and addresses Sandorel, “and someone will be willing to relive you and your gate spell.”

Releasing the sword from the wall, the Cimmerian holds it forth in two hands, concentrating on its weight and balance and trying a few practice swings.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

The sword swings more easily in his hands than any Conan has ever wielded; it seems more that he is guiding it than moving it, like an eager puppy on a leash.

OOC: To keep things moving now that the board is back up

IC: Sandorel opens the Gate into the antechamber of the temple. The guards initially panic, but only a few words from Brystasia calm them, and they assist you in hauling the treasure through into an ungainly pile. Brystasia begins organizing the auction; though it is clear the high priest wishes he had the authority to wield eminent domain over such magnificent artworks, such thievery would be morally ugly.

OOC: It'll take a day before the auction; feel free to wander Waterdeep in that time.

 

[Endur]

The Cimmerian invites his fellow adventurers to visit a local tavern and he offers to pay for the drinks out of his share of the wealth. The Cimmerian asks Brystasia if she can recommend a likely tavern, since she has been to Waterdeep before.

The Cimmerian picks up another scabbard from the Temple of Sune (assuming they have an extra scabbard) to carry his new sword in.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

They do have a number of scabbards; however, being the Temple of Sune, all are extremely elaborate and expensive. An armourer recommends one decorated with a number of sapphires, to match the indigos in the blade; the price tag is a paltry 6500 gold.

Brystasia Purelove: Half-Nymph/Female (Avenger/Favored Soul/Heartwarder)

Brystasia smiling talks briefly with the high priest explaining the whole adventure quickly, “Sir, please make sure that everything is protected and of course please consider my part as a donation to Sune.” She turns to look at the pile one more time a huge prideful smile on her face, “All in all not a bad day at all. Do we have any idea how many of these treasures will stay in Sune’s house?”

~Later~

Brystasia smiles nods her head to the Cimmerian and replies with a slightly raised eyebrow, “Theirs more than a few inns I could recombined but it all really matters in what you are looking for? I hope, if you do not mind that is, waiting for me, as I need to freshen up and change before hand. It shouldn’t take long as my personal chambers are in the temple.”

She smiles and turns to Vilya, “Would you like to get cleaned up also? I’m sure one of the girls will have a dress that you can barrow.”

 

[Dalamar]

Vilya will wander the streets of Waterdeep, looking at its wonders. She'll buy something to eat on her walk. She'll also ask around if there is a place to dance in. She thinks that while she hasn't been to a large city in a long time, and thus won't recall all the manners of a city-dweller, dance is universal.

 

[Endur]

While the Cimmerian is not opposed to the idea of converting gold into sapphires, he is concerned about the practicality of the scabbard more than elaborate designs.

He'll go find an armorer or weaponsmith while Brystasia is freshening up. They might have a more practical scabbard.

He'll also ask the smith if he knows why the blade might have an indigo color in the steel.

Perhaps the Smith will even recognizes the blade, or know whose worksmanship it is.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

The first smith Conan goes to can sell a serviceable scabbard for 5 silver, but has no idea what the metal of the weapon could be. He directs the Cimmerian to the temple of Gond. The priests there inform him that the blade is celestial work, made of a metal called aurorum. This metal has the unusual and valuable property of reforging itself when broken, simply by holding the pieces together. It is possible that this weapon has a name and history, given its power, and the priests could research for a not too onerous fee.

If Vilya does not mind the religious overtones, the Temple of Sune is one of the most eminent dance halls in Waterdeep.
