For the Greater Good - Full

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Jarval, remember this is a 3.0 game, and so while identify takes 8 hours to cast, you could identify 11 items at one go. So, I shall identify them all for you:

Silver arrowheads - 4 arrows of monstrous humanoid slaying

Pearl earrings - healing song pearls; when ingested will act as a heal, regeneration, or raise dead spell.

Ceramic doll - small golem that can be assigned to protect individual, using the command words. Must be keyed to that individual by putting their own hair on the doll.

Calendar - This will cast divination 1/day.

Platinum flask with emerald-colored honey in it - potion of cure moderate wounds

Golden Ball and frog - contains a diminuative golden frog that is intelligent. See IC thread for more.

Strange idol - VERY VERY BAD, EVIL, DEATH DARKNESS, DECAY, DESTROY, DESTROY, DESTROY IT ALL, DESTROY EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

Identifying the idol gives you screaming nightmares of being eaten alive by the earth, along with a splitting headache.

This is by far the funnest item description I've ever read. Consider it janked for my campaign.

Hee hee hee. There's bad mojo in the idol.

 

[Halivar]

In the words of my favorite sorceror:

I swing the idol around to see if it's magical!

So... have you read Monte Cook's Chaositech, Halivar? Because you're about to get an up-close and personal introduction to it.

Good catch, I'd forgotten the difference between 3.0 and 3.5 identify.

Silver arrowheads - 4 arrows of monstrous humanoid slaying

Handy I think those'll be going to Lyssia.

Pearl earrings - healing song pearls; when ingested will act as a heal, regeneration, or raise dead spell.

Immensely useful. We've got two of these, right? If so, I suggest we split them between two people (other than Nessa) so we've got our healing distributed between a fair number of the group.

Ceramic doll - small golem that can be assigned to protect individual, using the command words. Must be keyed to that individual by putting their own hair on the doll.

Hmm, interesting. Something to have a play with at some point.

Calendar - This will cast divination 1/day.

Nice thing to have. I can see this getting a lot of use very quickly.

Platinum flask with emerald-colored honey in it - potion of cure moderate wounds

You can never have too many healing potions IMO

Golden Ball and frog - contains a diminuative golden frog that is intelligent. See IC thread for more.

Possibly the oddest magic item I've ever found I'm sure we'll establish what it's all about soon enough.

Eeep! I think someone else can carry the idol for now... Why do I get the feeling this won't be easy to dispose of?

Hah! You're threats ring hollow in my ears! I fear you not! You can only take my life ONCE! Well, twice... no... 12 character levels plus 14 Constitution... actually 26 times. Yes, you can kill me 26 times.

Err... umm....

So, Isida, when's your birthday? I was thinking about lavishing all my favorite DM's with expensive gifts, but all I could come up with was you. ;P

It's true! Soon as I graduated high school they inducted me into the Illuminati. We only brought out the black dragon idol for Ronald Reagan's birthday, though; mostly we only used it as the cake decoration. The candles just fit so nicely in its ears.

PS: Now you know too much.

Sadly I've bitten off more than I can chew, I'm gonna have to drop this game, I haven't even found time to read the thread to date yet. Sorry.
