[LPF] Kaedyn's Quest

[Systole]

Rhas stands up and half-walks, half-staggers over to the room, where he echoes Ru's whistle. "That ... is some righteous salvage. Well worth a bit of scrappin' for. Lets load up yon wagon and roll out. If we put our backs into it, we can probably make it back to town afore nightfall, aye?"

Looking over the items in the room, Damaris did not see any magical auras on any of it.

Turning around and looking at the piled equipment from the dead outsiders was another matter. The githyanki spell caster had a magical breastplate. The half-fiend had magical armor and buckler as well as the ring on her finger. Her ranseur was enchanted as well.

Ru bites his lip. "Really? The doohickey isn't magic? Odd," he says as Damaris relays that the magical auras she finds don't include the strange item the southerner brought out from the back room. Then he shrugs.

"I'm a bad one to explain religious artifacts, anyway, Bashu knows," Ru says.

"Okay, let's everyone take what he or she can carry and we'll get this back to our cagey gnome. Maybe he'll recognize those chests."

 

[Systole]

Rhas gives a look around for traps and false compartments, not really expecting anything. When he's satisfied, he nods and begins hauling out the chests and various spoils of victory. "We ought ask the gnome to come in and have a look. See if there's anything we're missing. And we ought to buirn the bodies. Might also want to take some gnoll ears as proof."

GM: Sorry, I did not give results for the artifact as it was still in a closed box and soulnova did not specify checking it.

 

[mfloyd3]

"Aye," affirms Umthirn. "Let's get the gnome. I'll make him describe his chests 'afore we show 'em to him, so there's no funny business."

He looks around. "But 'ave we got what we came for? Ye said something about a way to chain demons. Is tha' it?" He adds, pointing to the odd plate.

 

[soulnova]

"Let me have a look at that while you bring our little friend to check for his spices" Damaris will use the Detect Magic on the strange box and artifact and try to recall if this is anything like what they were tasked to find.

Opening the box, Damaris took a look at the artifact with her mage sight. It gave off a strong aura, a mixture of abjuration, conjuration, and transformation. As far as she could remember there was no religious significance about such an object.

She did remember that Kaedyn had sent them to visit the elven wizard to retrieve something that might help their cause in combating the devil Varrantu and his minions. From the runes ornamenting the wood container, the artifact could have been in Larsheil’s possession.

Rhas did not find any secret compartments or traps in the room with the stolen loot.

Umthirn nods to the others and makes his way back down the hall toward the Gnome.

[sblock=ooc]
Umthirn will get the gnome, get him to describe his chests, and then bring him back. Any loot that is plausibly the gnome's, he will be allowed to claim.

Unless anyone wants to do a more specific investigation of what we've recovered, should we speed ahead at this point? We should do a thorough search of the compound before leaving, looking to see if they might have hidden any other artifacts elsewhere. Also, Umthirn would favor beheading one of the gnolls with the weird parasites to bring back to show Kaedyn (taking pains to make sure the parasite cannot crawl off and attach itself to anything else -- always double bag!). Otherwise, Umthirn favors one last round of healing with the wand before the group leaves (blow all necessary charges), then loading up and getting on the road.

"I guess this might be what they were looking for at Larsheil's place" she tells Ru and the others, closing the lid of the box. "We should bring in our lil friend to make sure his spices are over there. My, my, I'll need a magic bag after this..." she snorts while helping move the box to the larger. Damaris will also provide extra-healing to whoever asks and takes her time looking around to make sure they did not miss anything.

[sblock]

Damaris will help out Ru to look for any other hidden treasure if asked to.

Takes 20 Perception = 29

You can roll for healing with your wands, Damaris will cast it for you.
I agree we might want to check if these people also have the parasite in their necks or if it was only the gnolls. There must be some box we can use to bring it over to Kaedyn for research. [/sblock]
