Island Empire, Part III, The Lich's Curse

Gnurl looks dismayed as he says, "I do sincerely hope that our valiant warriors will remember next time to sharpen their blades before we again engage such foes."

Off to Consult

Addressing the small priestess Geoffrey says "There are many prayers the church can use, and i have set my ship's scribes to preparing a series of scrolls for everyone. As to the higher magics, that is beyond their ability and thus I must consult with the Chancellor here for aid in that area. I have already sent request for aid to some church officials and it is my hope that a full squad of chuch warriors lead by a lieutian will join us soon. Other than that, we must inquire of the Chancellor as to what aid may be avialable as such short notice"

 

[Leif]

OOC: Just a reminder that Gnurl currently has Greater Mage Armor still in effect today, for the rest of the day. So he's currently AC 23.

OOC: I made that want of mage Armor too soon! It's already obsolete before I even use it once!

 

[Lou]

OOC: I made that wand of mage Armor too soon! It's already obsolete before I even use it once!

OOC: Perhaps the DM, feeling generous as his birthday nears , would let Gnurl use the wand as partial payment on a different wand or other magic item.... Or Gnurl could use the wand on H'Roosh and Mig before combat to give their AC a boost.... Just random thoughts.

 

[Leif]

OOC: Oh, it's not that big a deal. It's not like Gnurl can't make a Wand of Greater Mage Armor now, if he has a few spare days. For now, though, he's content to just cast the spell on himself every day. But that is a good point about using this wand on H'Roosh, Mig, and whoever else. At my caster level, one casting of Mage Armor will last pretty much all the way through a day of adventuring. (From the wand, it has a duration of 9 hrs, since it's CL 9, or is that 10 hrs and CL 10??? Something like that, anyway.)

OOC: And BTW, Gnurl picked up ANOTHER force spell this level! Shoot, I'm gonna have to take a level or two of Argent Savant, whether I want to or not!

OOC: Gnurl's force spells: Shield (1st), Mage Armor (1st), Magic Missile (1st), Greater Mage Armor (3rd), Mass Mage Armor (3rd), Orb of Force (4th), and Force Missiles (4th). Force Missiles is supposed to be a souped up, 4th level magic missile, but it falls somewhat short of the ideal that you may have first thought it would be.

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Gnurl requested as many potions of healing as possible, so I'm thinking that he gets:
10 potions of Cure Light Wounds (500gp, CL 1) (1d8+1 hp cured),
3 potions of Cure Serious Wounds (2,250 gp, CL 5) (3d8+5 hp cured),

for a total price of 2,750 gp.

OOC: Gnurl also wants to cash in his 8,000 gp bank draft while he can

OOC: Sorry, I thought I had addressed this post. Adjust for discount as needed.

The priest takes the deal says, "You know we have a Belt of Curing (Magic Item Compendium) that might be of interest to you..."

 

[Scotley]

[sblock=Scotley]Absolutely, Dude! If it wasn't all in fun it would have been a heckuva lot more that .001%, right?? I feel kinda bad about reading sblocks sometimes (more than you might think even), but it's tough to ignore them. It's no sweat for me to role-play my character's ignorance of the contents, thank goodness, but when the sblocks are of concern to PLAYERS and not CHARACTERS, then it's a whole different matter, isn't it? Like I would have completely missed this magic item discount if I hadn't peeked at Lou's sblock! That wasn't your intention was it? And you wouldn't have even noticed the omission, would you? I don't think so, at least, shoot you seem to have wayyy too much on your plate to be checking up on us that closely! [/sblock]

[sblock=Leif]Yes, I'm more than a little overwhealmed these days. But it will get better. I would not have noted the missed discount. I try to keep my nose out of sblocks too. As DM I really should use them less and save players the temptation. The important thing to remember is if you really want something to be a secret sblocks are not good enough.[/sblock]

OOC: NO DOUBT! In our LS game, I just assume the most everyone will at least slightly peek at sblocks. And, I already took the discount into consideration, as soon as I peeked and realized that we were entitled to one.

IC: Gnurl says, "Yes, I am definitely interested in the healing belt! What's price do you ask for it? And he also says, "I notice that you have a prediliction for visual representations of magical energy. I, myself, am a somewhat competent illusionist. Although I do not have access to such manifestations that are permanent, I know that the method exists to make them, and I have attained sufficient power to do so, if I only had the proper formulae. But maybe there is some other use of my arcane talents that would be of use to you, for which we could reach at least a partical accomodation concerning the belt....."

OOC: Also, can they cash my bank draft from Capt. Marin?

 

[J. Alexander]

Off to Consult

Speaking up in a no nosense manner Geoffrey says "Send the invoice to the "Radiant Sun" we will forward any payments and items necessary immediately upon receipt of the invoice" then turning to the party he says "I must see the Chancelor, please feel free to accompany me or you may remain strike what bargins you need...I fear it is going to be both a long and dangerous journey so we best be all prepared" Geoffrey will then indicate to the escourt his wish to leave.

 

[Leif]

Gnurl Whiskerling

OOC: Gnurl will wait for an answer to his questions about the price for the healing belt, and whether the church is willing to cash the draft from Capt. Marin, before making up his mind about going with Geoffrey. (Sorry, G., please bear with me a moment.)
