E1: Tomb of Chaos [Judge: Patlin] [Concluded]

Percy says: [sblock]Before knocking on the door of the guild, Percy pulls of her Ram-head ring and slips it into one of her pockets, which she subsequently fingers frequently, anxious that it will fall out.

Percy's pretty face brightens into a sincere smile. "I'm so glad to see you again Mr. Atterwood. Our mission has been very successful. In fact, we've returned to get a wagon to carry the larger objects back. We do have some stuff right now. We can give it to you and get a reciept." Percy enters now, opening a view of Novrne. She lays down the gems before the sage, and motions Rodimus to display the various masterwork weapons.

"We also brought back Novrne here." says Percy, still smiling, and gesturing at the weird undead creature. She keeps her eyes on Atterwood, here, curious how he will react. "He's quite safe. He just needs a place to stay. He knows all sorts of things about that crypt. I think you'll like him."[/sblock]

[sblock=Percy, Ishmael, Rodimus, Novrne]"Wow that is quite the find. And you say there is more. Fantastic!" replies Atterwood as he stands up behind his desk to peer at each item in turn. "A lot of this is much more recent, but there are a few ancient pieces here. What type of objects were you forced to leave behind?"

Turning to the undead Novrne, Atterwood continues, "Oh my? I didn't think you'd bring any one back with you. Or rather one of the dead." The sage accidentally knocks his mug on the floor and it shatters. Black liquid seeps into the thick carpets as he comes around from behind the desk. Ignoring the spill, the sage looks over Novrne, "You aren't from King Toth Nekamek's time are you?"

Novrne replies in an ancient common dialect that some of you are able to puzzle out. "Yes, I was imprissoned in the tomb for having an affair with the queen. Until these kind adventurers freed me I had been stuck alone for over a thousand years with absolutely nothing to do. But now I am free. They seemed to think you might have some questions for me and that I might stay here with you."

"Oh yes I have questions, plenty of questions. Yes you can stay here for a while. Here let me finish up with these fellows and then we can sit and talk." Atterwood quickly appraises all of the items, noting three in particular on a ledger. "I can give you 4000gp for the lot and I will provide a wagon and 2 horses on loan to retrieve the rest. Will that suffice?"

Jewelry, gems, small valuables

• lapis lazuli x5 - 10gp ea. = 50gp
• amethysts x6 - 100gp ea. = 600gp
• gold necklace (Nars has it) = 70gp
• fetish necklace = 5sp
• tiger eye turquoise = 12gp
• moonstone = 50gp
• silver ring = 9gp
• jewelry = 800gp * 2 (archelogical value)
• bronze false teeth = 5sp
• comb = 3gp
• crown (lawful-evil aura) = 300gp * 2 (archelogical value)

Masterwork items

• masterwork greataxe = 320gp / 2 (regular equipment)
• masterwork battleaxe = 310gp / 2 (regular equipment)
• masterwork studded leather armor = 175gp / 2 (regular equipment)
• masterwork cutlass = 315gp / 2 (regular equipment)
• masterwork longsword = 315gp * 2 (archelogical value)

total value = 4185gp[/sblock]

Percy & crew: [sblock] Percy smiles at the reward, and is very pleased that Novrne has found a place. She looks to the others to see if they wish to bargain as to the terms the sage has stated. She will not. "Two horses and a wagon. Excellent. Well, we've found books and statues and sarcophogus, and all sorts of icky bugs and stuff. It's a dangerous place. You were wise to hire adventurers and not go there yourself. We're in rather a hurry, as we left our companions back there. I don't want to be away long in case they get attacked. We will stay at the Red Dragon Inn tonight, & would like to leave early tomorrow morning. After my bath. Can you have the horses and wagon sent around?"

On the way out, she whispers to Atterwood. "Do you think you can take care of this Novrne character? I don't want him kicked out on the street. If necessary, get into contact with me."

When she finishes at the guild, Percy will try to get her shopping in before bedding down. She wants to buy 4 100 gps pearls for identify spells, 5 vials of alchemical fire, an everburning torch, some bread, meat and cheese, and a bottle of fine wine.

"Anything else we need?" She'll ask her companions.[/sblock]

Ishmael, Percy and Rodimus

[sblock]
"I would like to use this time to see a priest regarding my current... condition. What that we've taken from the tomb has not all been beneficial. Mayhap, ser Atterwood, thou canst diagnose me?" [/sblock]

 

[SlagMortar]

[SBLOCK=Nars, Gorefoot, Nezrak]"Good work there, er, Gorefoot."

Digging into his rations the first day, Nars blushes a bit as he realizes he has only about 3 days worth of food remaining. "Er, ah, guys, do either of you have, ah, some extra food? I have about, ah, 3 days worth. I can, er, stretch it, but if we have some, ah, extra, I'd appreciate it. Percy said they, ah, would be back in, er, about a week, right?"[/SBLOCK]

 

[Erekose13]

[sblock=Percy, Ishmael, Rodimus]"Me? No I'm afraid not. The clerics of Hyrag are pretty good at that stuff though." replies Atterwood. "I'll have some one arrange for the horses and wagon if you like. You can meet them at the stables on the edge of the city, they'll know you're coming. Good luck and I look forward to seeing these larger treasures you speak of."

ooc: feel free to put together a shoping list. The remove curse will cost the standard spell cost. Once you have gotten that all together we'll jump back over to the dungeon.[/sblock]

[sblock=Nars, Gorefoot, Nezrak]Nezrak seems to remember that there was food in the storage room that Nestiphae was found in, likely some of the goods raided by the gnolls.[/sblock]

 

[SlagMortar]

[SBLOCK=Nars, Gorefoot, Nezrak]
"Er, ah, good thinking. Let's, ah, check it out.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Manzanita]

Percy [sblock] Percy will buy the following:
500 5 pearls
110 everburning torch
100 5 alchemfires
10 20 days trail rations
10 bottle of fine wine
730 gps total
She's ready to go. She will accompany Ishmael to the temple, too, if feasible.[/sblock]

 

[Erekose13]

[sblock=Dungeon Crew]Nars and the others find plenty of rations to last them the week.[/sblock]

[sblock=Orussus Crew]Percy buys her equipment and then heads to the temple with Ishmael. The clerics of Hyrag as for an appropriate donation to the temple which works out to be 150gp for one of their higher priests to cast remove curse on the halfling dragon disciple.[/sblock]

ooc: have everyone who has gone up in level been approved?

 

[SlagMortar]

[SBLOCK=Nars, Gorefoot, Nezrak]"Ugh, how do the, er, gnolls eat this, ah, stuff? Oh well, it's, er, better than starving."[/SBLOCK]

OOC: Nars is approved for level 5. Bring on the sneak attackable monsters.
