[LPF] Through the Looking Gate

[jackslate45]

Dellrian sits there, hands folded in silence, a look of serious concentration on. He listens to each of you as you describe the events that transpire, and while you can tell he has no obvious magical understanding of what it means, he can tell the situation is very unique.

After a few moments of silence after Lem's answer, Dellrian says. "Allow me to speak my mind. If the gate is unpredictable as everyone claims, I feel that it is best left alone. We will re-seal up the entrance, and ensure that the area remains undisturbed in our future patrols. The lost gate will be lost again."

Leaning back, Dellrian looks around at the group and says "However, if this research is as useful as I hope it is, we might be in luck. This is the only case I am aware of, but someone spending time researching how these gates work would be very fortuitous for all of E'n. And there is only 1 other gate within Venza limits, and that gate is exclusive to the Boraga."

A small sneer appears on Dellrian's face as he mentions to Boraga, but he quickly composes himself and continues. "I have a lot to talk to my boss about, and I am sure that all of you will be asked to come back in the near future. For now, I feel that you have earned yourselves a reward. In addition to the gold, I can talk with a contact over at the Mystic Pearl, and put in a rush job for an item of your choice. Would that suffice for now?"


[sblock=GM]
I did not have a chance to run the final numbers for you guys over the weekend, but everyone can pick an item worth 4000 gp, and not have to roll for it.

The other items on the gnome were as followed (Menik identifies them next day):
Life Link Badge
Cloak of Resistance +1
Ring of Sustenance

"I believe that would be enough... seems fair" Galandra nods and thinks for a second what kind of item she could ask for. "Alright, if it's available, I would like a belt that improves my dexterity"


[sblock] Belt of incredible dexterity +2? [/sblock]

 

[jbear]

Maui nods with a smile. "Ah ... te Pearl..." he says wistfully, expressing his deep sense of wonder and admiration for the magical shop. "Maui thinks it is te good deal. Ask your friend if he has te fat magic stick to make te magic last longer. If Tane's magic was still on us when we meet te Dog Caller ... te Someoner... te fight would not have been so hard." He glances down at Taniwha. "And Taniwha would like te Bowl of Never Ending Buffalo Milk ... Is this possible?"

[sblock=OOC] Maui will choose a Rod of Lesser Extend (3000 gp) as his item from the Pearl. [/sblock]

 

[Satin Knights]

Tasanto opens up his haversack and hands over the research notes. "Keeping knowledge is always a good thing. Just try and keep it safe from power hungry types. This knowledge looks to be dangerous in anybodies hands."

Looking over the items, the patch seems to be a useful trinket, but would suck away too much of his casting ability this early in his career to be useful. The ring on the other hand is quite useful in staving off sleep and keeping Nysys around. "Friends, I am interested in that ring. It turns full sleep into just naps, which is quite good for keeping my kitty around."

[sblock=Numbers]They should look something close to this.

[/sblock][sblock=ooc]The patch looks nice, but is a trap for summoners. I would have to give up 5 spell levels to get 5d6 healing as an immediate action. With those same five spell levels, I get 5d10+25 in healing as standard actions. At low levels, it is a trap item. When I have lots of spell slots to spare, it will be useful.

The ring on the other hand is a great item for summoners and any other casters that require sleep. I can buy my own in the Pearl if someone else wants it. I am still thinking about my no-roll item.

Great Game!! Yeah, Tasanto will be interested in the next installment.[/sblock]

 

[kinem]

Menik agrees to let the gnome's research notes be handed over to Dellrian. (ooc: Though Menik was the one who had them.)

"Very well. I hope the research does lead to a revival of the ancient art.

As for my compensation ... I was nearly taken out in that fight. It makes sense that enemies might target a spellcaster like me. So, I choose a belt to help me endure such attacks a little better."

[sblock]belt of mighty constitution +2

Happy new year!

Thanks for a good game, jackslate45 & you all.[/sblock]

 

[Scott DeWar]

Vincenzo glances at the three items found on the pile of summoner ash. the cloak looks very simalr to his own, so he gets an idea of what he wants. " I would like a cloak to help me resist poisons and controlling magic, and how it seems to allow me to dodge large areas of attack, A cloak of resistance they called it at the pearl. The next step up from mmy own would be good . . . .

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Lem gives a short sigh followed by a longer shrug. "Alright, I said my piece. If we are talking about rewards, I'd appreciate a belt of girdle that increases my strength. I've found a few ways to pack a harder punch, but every little bit helps, especially since it seems that the types I've been punching lately keep getting larger."

[jackslate45]

Dellrian pulls out a piece of paper, and starts writing down the group's special requests. "Right then. I will ensure that this makes it over to the pearl, and deduct what they charge from your pay. If we have any other questions about this research, I will look for you 6. As for a bottomless Buffalo milk for your cat, I will have to look into it."

Rolling up the paper, and standing and bowing Dellrian says "Thank you again for your hard efforts, I am sure to be in touch." shakes each of your hands, and leaves to secure both your payment and your special request items.

[sblock=GM]
I will get final numbers tonight, and close the game for today. SK's numbers look correct from what I remember before getting drunk on NYE, so I won't say anything final.

That was fun! The elementals were frustrating like I wanted them to be, since everyone has many attacks but no one is really hitting super hard. The summoner himself didn't play like I wanted to, but the gate worked out exactly like I was hoping. I started working on what comes next, and I think I need more summoners .

Early guess would be early February till I have everything in place, as I am out of the office on vacation the week the 19-26th. If you have any requests for story lines for your own character's growth, let me know and I will work it in if I can.

As awesome as Ditzie was, most of my updating is done at work during lunch hour. If I cannot update you guys, it has to wait till I get home early enough to update, which is random at best. That's not very fair to you guys, so I'll work something out somehow. A few people have given me ideas about that, so we will see.

Thanks for the game jack, I look forward to the sequel if not having to fight more summoners!!
