Veruzak's face scrunches up, tattoo's dog piling his nose.
*I hate Atlas being right... Now what will I tell the Igors... No matter, they always seem to find surgical volunteers. Heck just last week, Igor's cousin, Igor, died and he had a donor card. Didn't even have anything left to bury when Igor was done operating and spreading organs throughout the family. I guess it's not a total loss, we've made serious advances in mental medicine and magic. Found a new species as well... D
mn. I'm cheery. * While Veruzak had been thinking the look on his face slowly melded from that of angry frustration, to happy intrigue. The wizard was smiling even though that seemed to frustrate him as well
Almost the moment Yurian's pouch touches Veruzak's hand, the badge denoting authority goes back into Yurian's hand.
My appreciation for the opportunity to study, I couldn't expect to find more rewarding cases.
Veruzak looks to Martelai, hearing him warn of the leg, Veruzak just nods his head, as an invite to join him outside. Once on the porch Veruzak takes a deep breath,
So this is what mom meant... Real world opportunity and the like. Challenge your views. blah blah... The wizard removed his Strider once again, filled it with the new and exotic herbs of Huarton, and relaxed while awaiting Martelai's presence.
A short time later, Martelai comes out of the house, and speaks with Veruzak concerning what to do with the aftermath. Listening intently while dragging his pipe, the shadar-kai raised eladrin waited until Martelai finished his assessment before responding.
She'll want the cabin Martelai, it is hers after-all. An Igor will be on-site in the morning, I plan to go back tonight. There is too much evidence to put off reports, detailed descriptions are paramount. I think we've discovered a new species. A species that is both very dangerous, and potentially very useful. Think of the applications of that goo, or the domination effects, medically, magically, it's just a researchers dream. Veruzak shudders a bit,
Not that I want to be the researcher. taking another long draw he begins speaking of the future,
If I'm not mistaken, we are now the worlds foremost knowledge on the Psychiggot, and reverse brain degaussing, including Bell of course. This is career making, wizards search for decades trying to find discoveries like this. The Institute for Arcane Ciphers may have just gotten it's springboard into the international who's who of wizard society. The Igors are going to be loaded with paperwork for years because of this one incident. We'll have to find where the pirates found that thing, who was shipping it, to were... etc. etc. This is far from over Martelai. The tone was serious, but the beaming smile of Veruzak was evidence that it was all very good news.
As for the technique to shut it out, I learned it from the monks of Mireva. Whom I should likely visit soon, to further perfect the technique. The basic concept is separating your mind from your consciousness, and sub-conscious. Just another technique to strengthen the will-power. However the best defense is knowing its coming, and hearing the "static" before the attack.

Roadtoad doesn't look to be coming back, I've NPC'd him for a while now, here and in Daunton's Dead Shadow.
If he does, I'm sure he'll make up the treasure in the next adventure as r1 said.
No arguments about splitting the treasure evenly.
Also, Veruzak is not yet wearing the Robe of Eyes +1, he is carrying it about. It's too dirty and ugly for him to wear. Once he gets back to Daunton, he'll be having a ritualist transfer the enchantment into his trademark camoflage orchid and pink-smoke robes.
