[LPF] Rescue at Boar's Ridge

Ru Brike, human ninja
Ru watches the debate with an odd mix of surprise and amusement. As the party starts talking about carting the pot out of doors, he holds his hands up.
"Okay, now, hold on," he says. "We've not even cleared the nearby rooms. I don't think it's wise to go marching about the battlements carting frozen acid to make it easier to find us when we go dropping and running after it.
"Goggles, you still have that sword?" the swarthy young man asks Reianne. "It's magical, yes? That ought to make it tough enough to take a little stinging from whatever acid that thing has left in it, I don't know any spells, myself, but from the casters I've made company with, fixing cantrips aren't that rare if the blade takes a little burn, are they?"
[sblock=ooc]Ru's suggesting just whacking the frozen slime with the magic sword, and if it takes any damage, fixing that with a Mending cantrip or two.[/sblock]

Reianne sighs, having resigned herself to being named Goggles for the forseeable future, and brushes her hand along the hilt of newly acquired sword. "This here? It's nice, but not magic. If it's smashing that thing you want, let me just get out that little toy I brought along. So let's get to smashing."
She then pulls out her morningstar and moves over to crack open the frozen slime egg.
"And if you need something fixed, I can do that too. You learn to repair stuff fast in my family. After all, it's too expensive to keep making new props year after year. Well that, and it's nice to fix your stuff after one of your family decides to break it for fun."
[sblock=ooc]
So I'm going to go for it, unless someone moves to intervene.
And sorry for the delay, been at work for 36 hours. :/

"Perfect," Ru says with a smile. "Knew you were our girl. Have at."
[sblock=ooc]
I've been trying to have Ru throwing nicknames at everyone, partly because his training is as a spy (where he learned not to blithely use people's real names because you never know who could be listening), and partly because he's always 'on' insofar as trying to charm / be cool goes (which is also probably from his training, but Ru has a general tendency to try to impress / hit on pretty much anyone he meets whom he isn't actively trying to kill, and sometimes even those folks).
If you (or anyone else) find the nicknames too annoying, though, lemme know. It's the kind of schtick that I realize could get grating to people.
If it's just in-character annoyance, mind, then all the better, since I'd expect some of that with a character like Ru.

Putting her goggles in place, so that they do their job if needed, Reianne takes the glass kettle over to the stone cooking kettle and drops it in. The glass shatters, but the stone kettle holds in all the pieces so they don't skitter across the floor. Swinging her morningstar, it isn't a graceful swing, but one good crack is all that is needed to break open the egg of doom. Reaching in to grab the book, Reianne almost gets burnt by a bit of acid, but manages to pull out the book and all ten of her fingers. Using a rag from one of the counters, she is able to clean it off.
[sblock=ooc]The protection spell on the book was Book Ward. The spell provides total protection against liquids. But, you turned the slime into an acid solid. So, the spell started taking damage against its total protection value, ie. the cntr.
How else do you protect a book from Goblins? Capturing a spellbook and burning it in a ritual before a tribe is enough to make you chieftain of the tribe.

"It's not a cookbook, is it," Lem asks in disappointment.

Mesem watches the entire proceeding silently. Given the inherent danger of their circumstances, he sees no reason to their lives harder than they already are, but as he is apparently of the minority opinion, he keeps quiet and lets the others deal with the ooze-entrapped book. He is glad to see it freed without any apparent harm.
[sblock=OOC]Who's opening it? Not Mesem, that's for sure.
Thanks for making sure the nicknames are cool, jk. I for one am enjoying the schtick, although Mesem is way too straight-laced to communicate that IC. I'm starting to wonder if I'm not better suited to play goofy characters like Ni than serious ones like Mesem and Quioan. We'll see.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Hooray for leveling! Ki pool and ninja trick? Yes, please.

Ru gives Reianne a pat on the shoulder as she cleans off the book.
"Well done, you. Now let's see what all the fuss is about..." he says, grabbing one of the wooden spoons and using it to flip the cover of the book open. If there's no obvious nastiness associated with that, he'll start flipping pages to see if he can figure out what made the book worth protecting.
[sblock=ooc]
Ah, but the straight-laced types provide good contrast. And if you decide Mesem isn't dynamic enough, you always have the 'bonded to a demon-thingee' fluff to explain changes to his behavior for experimenting with personality shifts.[/sblock]

Ru flips through the pages. He doesn't recognize the language that it is written in. Neither Reianne. In fact, only Menik recognizes it the language as draconic. Unfortunately, he cannot read the text, as it requires a spell he did not prepare. You find two loose pages of older parchment that does not belong in this book. Those pages have text written in a language none of you have seen before.
[sblock=ooc]How dare you not prepare the most fundamental spell of a mage!!!
(Just teasing.) Three different spell casters, and none of you have it. Ah well. At least it is good treasure.[/sblock]
