The shop of Antwoine deVay

The shop of Antwoine DeVay 'Appraiser and Diviner of Magics' is an old fishing trawler that still smells vaguely of its last catch of sardines. Stepping over and around the piles of books, paper and strange intruments you make your way to the hold. A long table running the length of the hold and stacked with equipment is where DeVay does his work. The old sorcerer looks up and lowers his glasses to his eyes and squints at Radoon for a moment. He looks at H'Roosh and Gnurl before saying, "Ah so good to have repeat business sailor, M'lady." He bows slightly at Marienna. "And you've brought new customers as well. Very good. What have you got for me today." Upon seeing the haul he says, "My my, busy aren't you. This will take a little time. He begins handling items one at a time." The glowing multicolored lizard at the end of the table wakes up and stretches before looking over the gnome and licking its lips. Bands of brite glowing color start and the tip of its nose and slowly undulate moving back to the tip of the tale. "Mind the lizard sir," Antwoine says to Gnurl, "he doesn't bite, but he has a taste for magic. He likes to kiss arcanists." Antwoine gathers some paper, pens and ink then begins to examine the items. He puts drops of chemicals on them, looks at them through lens of various colors and finally even hold them out to the lizard who runs a tongue over them. Antwoine then carefully watches the changes in the lizard's color bands. As he works he takes copious notes, consults various tomes and charts and pauses once for a cup of tea and a pipe. Soon he's back at work. Finally, with a sigh he drops into a chair and makes his final notes. "Okay then, you've an even 20 items of power here. That's", he uses a piece of paper to do the math, "an even 3000 gp." He holds up 20 sheets of paper.

Gnurl softly says, "Well, Chaps, I don't suppose that there are just a great deal of people among us besides me who can easily use the Runestaff or the Wizard Scroll, but I really have my eye on the Lesser Crystal of Lifekeeping and the Amulet."
 

H'Roosh

"There are but few items here that I can use. The vest, the potions and elixers. I know not what the crystals do or how they are used, but would be interested in learning before I state my interest. I wear an amulet already, and as it can be used for the good of my allies as well as myself I will not forsake it. I use no weapons. As I came late to the fight, where conflicts arise in the choosing I will defer."
 

H'roosh

"Given the little I know, I would speak for the Vest. It's properties would be most useful to me, and I prefer to keep my clothing light and unrestricting. If there are no objections, I would also like the Rhino Elixer and the Silversheen - I will be able to make excellent use of them as well. However, as I stated previously if there are conflicts over my choices I will defer to those who were with the crew before I joined the fight."

"of disruption" makes no difference to Gnurl. I still have the same choices, in descending order of preference:

Amulet of Health
Crystal of Lifekeeping, Lesser
Runestaff of the Undead Slayer
Arcane (Wizard) Scroll

If anyone wants to fight for any of these, just let me know. hehe :p
 

H'Roosh

OOC:

I can't seem to find the Rhino Elixer or Silversheen, so I have no idea if H'Roosh would be interested in either. There's a lot of stuff in the Magic Item Compendium, but the Table of Contents sucks and there doesn't seem to be an index at all (at least in the copy I got).

I don't know what book Silversheen is out of - I seem to remember reading about it in the Dungeon Master's Guide, but can't find it now.

At least until I find out about these, the Vest is all H'Roosh would be interested in I think. ('of Disruption' makes no difference to him, either, unless it's a ring that gives his unarmed blows that quality).
 

OOC: Rhino Elixer can be found in the Magic Item Compendium under tools. It is listed alphabetically under 'r' rather than with the assorted 'Elixers of'. You can find Silversheen here:

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#silversheen

I took a lot of items from the SRD rather than the DMG for my own convenience, but unfortunately, in the SRD many items have generic names rather than the Greyhawk names used in the DMG. You may find Silversheen has some other name in the DMG. Anyway, for our purposes H'Roosh can put the stuff on hands, feet, elbows, knees hell maybe even forehead before engaging in a flurry of blows.
 

H'Roosh

OOC:

OK, now that I know what everything does, here are H'Roosh's choices in order of preference:

Vest of Resistance +2
Rhino Elixer
SilverSheen

He will speak up for these (I've edited his previous post to reflect this).
