[LPF] Kaedyn's Quest

[jackslate45]

[sblock=OOC]
I would recommend that Thuvian pick up Lai Tai's spell book. He has a few attack spells that could be useful later on in Thuvian's career, and he doesn't have to worry about looking for them later.

Granted, i think by LPF rules you will have to "pay" for them to be written into the spell book, but for some of them (Stone call for example) it is really worth it. Expecially if we remain outdoors in this adventure.

Tyrion has his amulet, cloak, and backpack that could be useful if someone wants them.

[sblock=OOC]If you're looking for an IC reason for not taking both piles of loot, you could always choose to return Lai Tai's stuff to the monastery and Tyrion's to his next of kin ... or something.[/sblock]

 

[perrinmiller]

[sblock=GM Note]Hmmm, okay let’s do this. The total value of the treasure from the fight is 7130gp. Even the potions are just 1st level ones and maybe not worth claiming at the end of the adventure.

But if there is gear in Tyrion and Lai Tai’s inventories that you do want, then you can claim that instead.

For IC explanation, you can just abandon the loot from the Gith/Tieflings and take your fallen comrade’s gear after burying the bodies. Whatever is not appropriated IC can be assumed to be sold in Thornbury and the gold can be given to whoever is appropriate in Venza behind the scenes upon conclusion.

Of note, I submitted my outline for Part 2 to SK and there are at least 4 encounters in it. And I might throw in a few more to mix things up.[/sblock]

Thuvian spends little time poking through the dead, being interested only in Lai Tai's spellbook for future study, as well as any spell component pouches or spellcasting related gear. He also will grab any holy symbols or anything marked in such a way that would help identify who these folks were and/or who hired them. The rest is but coin to him to be turned into more scrolls and spellcasting aids. The rest he leaves to the others to decide what to do with. The destruction to the tree house is of greater interest as he sends Nora in to scout out any potential lingering dangers before carefully examining the damage and any remaining property or bodies still within the house, hoping that this house wasn't the house of the wizard they were looking for, and that the sword they had been sent to retrieve hadn't been carried off to heaven's only knows where. [sblock=ooc]The only particularly valuable treasure that Thuvian really cares about is the spellbook. He's perfectly happy to lug the rest back to town to trade in for coin, and saving the rest of Lai Tai's and Tyrion's stuff for their next of kin.[/sblock]

Ru Brike, rangerish human ninja

Ru holds himself ready as the viper slips inside, his attention shifting between the house itself and the wizard's face for signs of trouble.

[sblock=ooc]Given how exhausted and defeated the survivors are, I don't have any problem justifying their being lax in collecting stuff. Ru could make use of he +1 mithral shirt and / or the amulet of natural armor, but I don't think he can 'afford' both with his current share, so I'd say Damaris should take the amulet if she wants it, Ru the shirt, and with Thuvian now having the spell book, that's everyone taking one 'memento' of the fallen. I set up in character that Ru's just sort of putting what they can fit into Tyrion's haversack so we don't have to worry about overloading, but once we sell stuff, there's less need, since Ty's replacement has one, as well, and I'm assuming town is where we're meeting them.[/sblock]

 

[soulnova]

[sblock] Yes, Damaris would like to keep the amulet of natural armor if possible. My PC is dead... again. [/sblock]

The girl moves away from the bodies, waiting patiently for Nora to come back. In any case, she brings out her bow. Whatever killed the gith might be still around.

~ Day 13, 16:04 - In the Darkwood ~

Nora entered the house inside the large oak tree and disappeared. After about a minute, the tiny viper had explored the inside's two floors and Thuvian had not received any empathic feelings of danger.

On the bodies of the tieflings and the githyanki, there were no identifying symbols or items to give a clue to their origins. The female githyanki did not have a holy symbol of any kind about her possession.

During this time, the clearing remained quiet.

Btw, there was no mention of a sword as the artifact you were meant to retrieve. [/sblock]

 

[soulnova]

After cleaning somewhat their faces, Damaris is unsure of what else to do for Lai Tai and Tyrion's bodies besides buring them. "I guess we can make a pyre to burn the rest" she glances about the rest of the fallen foes.

"Anything?" the bard asks Thuvian, not seeing him reacting on a bad way from his link with Nora. "We should take a look inside, right?"

[sunshadow21]

[sblock=ooc]Sword, artifact, thingamajig, it's all the same after a 10 hour work shift.[/sblock]

Thuvian heads inside to try to ascertain who lived in this house, and what relevance they had to the group's mission, as well as to investigate how much of the carnage and chaos of the battle outside translated to the interior of the building.

Ru Brike, rangerish human ninja

Ru has pulled the chain shirt off Lai Tai's burned corpse and replaced his nonmagical armor with it (refusing to comment on the act for now, his face grim) by the time Damaris asks her question. He nods in agreement.

"I don't want anything sneaking up on us while we're dealing with our dead," he says, moving toward the house. "We'll clear the house, then get the hells done with this place."

[sblock=ooc]Updated the stat block for the new armor so I didn't forget, so thought I should cover that IC for the same reason.[/sblock]
