[ic] nameless III: lost and found

[doghead]

In the hill top ruins

The armour more than fits, it seems to wrap itself around Nate as if custom made for him. Nate has never experienced it before, but he has heard about it. Enchanted armour. So it is true. Cromwell was blessed by Kettenek. Or at least by those who servered Kettenek.

ooc: Nate, as far as I am aware, does not have AP (medium), which would mean a -3 ACP to attack rolls and any Str or Dex based ability or skill checks. On the other hand, you get +6 soak and its harder to bypass medium than light armour with a critical.

ooc: Here is Cromwell's equipment. Let me know who's taking what, if anything of this and the orc equipment.
* Worn/Carried: explorer's outfit, dagger, wooden holy symbol of Kettenek, 5 javelins, masterwork heavy mace, manacles, sap, +1 breastplate, heavy steel shield, waterskin, sling
* In Backpack: bedroll, winter blanket, 50 feet of hemp rope, 3 torches.
* In Pouch: flint and steel, whetstone, 7 gold pieces, 3 silver pieces, 4 copper pieces, 10 sling bullets.

Also please update your character sheets if necessary. Hadarook is going to take the manacles for the orc. BTW, I forgot to note before. The orcs had 26 gp in various coins between them. The shaman had a pair of gold rings on a thong around his neck.

Fredar picks up the orc shaman's spear, liking it's feel, and takes a share of the gold. He casts a look over the rest of the gear, but the pack is too damned heavy as it is, he thinks with a scowl "Nate, are we set with torches and such, I'm think this temple won't be deicate to a sun god."

 

[Seonaid]

Garival looks back and forth between the others, growing confused as to what is going on. The death of a comrade, that can't be easy, he thinks, and decides not to stick his nose--or neck--where it's not wanted.

When the gear is laid out, he hangs back to let the others have first pick. When things seem to settle, he says quietly, "I would take a shield and the bullets from the orcs, if none object." He pauses for a moment and says to Nate even more quietly, "If you had not planned, I would like that as well." He points to the symbol of Kettenek.

If no one objects, he will also rifle through the orcs' belongings, taking things like flint & steel, valuables (gold & jewels) and anything that looks like trail rations that would be edible by the humans.

 

[doghead]

ooc: four of the orcs and Cromwell had bullets. Some were thrown, but that would leave at least 40. There are 3 light steel shields, and Cromwell's heavy steel shield. There are enough 'edible' rations to make up four days worth. The rest you would be loathed it eat unless you were an orc. Valuables are limited to the coins and the rings. Unlike adventurers, the orcs leave their valuables at home when they go to work - like most of us. There is flint and steel. Other minor items may be 'available upon request'.

"Before ya'll lay too many hands about, you might want to give me a second to look at this with better eyes." Fenix incants briefly and gives all the gear, the orcs and the goblins a once over.


OOC: Detect Magic, if anything comes up magic on the once over, I'll spend a couple rounds concentrating on it.

ooc: Nate, as far as I am aware, does not have AP (medium), which would mean a -3 ACP to attack rolls and any Str or Dex based ability or skill checks. On the other hand, you get +6 soak and its harder to bypass medium than light armour with a critical.

OOC : well, we'll have to gain a level then, no? .

 

[doghead]

ooc: DrZ - Yeap, you would need to level. I would also say it would be an idea to wear the armour if you want access to the feat. "Hey, I can suddenly wear medium armour/use a sword/whatever" seems to lack something I think. In ordinary circumstances, training could provide you with access to a feat you have no background in, but you don't have to that option.

ooc: khavren - the following radiate faint enchantment* auras; Cromwell's breastplate and the shaman's spear. The shaman's armour radiates a faint aura of something, but Fenix is unable to determin what.

* This is correct for the average +n weapon/armour, right?

 

[khavren]

Fenix

"Looks like the spear and the breastplate are both magic'd. The orc spellmixer's armor too, but can't tell what's on it. If there ar na objections I'll try that one on for size. I expect that the spear is safe to use, as is the breastplate." Fenix takes the shamans armor and shield, as well as the spell component pouch. He also divides up the loose coin among the humans and halflings, trying for as even a distribution as possible. Fenix picks up the rings from the Orc Shaman and starts examing them more closely. "Now what storie have you two to tell, hmmmm?"

OOC Any spells on the goblin shaman or was she out of range?

 

[doghead]

ooc: The goblin shaman's short spear and armour have similar magical aura's (ordinary enchanted items)

 

[DrZombie]

With a sigh, Nate drops the last stone in place, finishing the small cairn. He takes one of the steel shields and rummages in his backpack, looking for the right tools. Half an hour later, in a neat hand, he finished the inscription.

HERE LIES CROMWELL
LEADER, WARRIOR, FRIEND.
MAY HIS SOUL FIND PEACE.


He secures the shield with a few rocks, stands for a moment, lost in thought.
Just me left, Cromwell. Say hello to the rest, will ya. When I get back to the village, I won't know how to explain. I don't know if I'll ever get back to the village. Perhaps I'll join you in a few days. Take care of Lisa untill I get there, and don't be too hard on yourself.

"Allright, let's go while we still have some light left."

Without much further fuss he packs his things and is read y to set off, without much ideas of where they're going or how he's gonna get there.
