[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 6929039, member: 54629"] The heroes know that what it does, and being good-hearted folk, they don't want to keep it. That being said, they are adventurers, so it's unlikely that they'll want to just *give* it to you. Even if they were willing to donate it to you, their former mentor was also a silver dragon, and they bear the mark of the Order of the Platinum Dragon*, which might make you more inclined to offer to exchange the figurine for something more than just money. Perhaps something that they can make use of collectively, rather than an item that only one of them can use. [As an aside, while I know that the magic item rarities are broad categories, I feel like the obsidian steed figurine is at the very low end, as I'm not sure it's worth a 1-to-1 trade for many of the other items in the very rare category. Perhaps two rare items instead?] *This is all stuff to do with my campaign. The PCs' former mentor is a silver dragon posing as a half-elven innkeeper. They don't know she's a silver dragon, but they have had their suspicions. At one point earlier in the campaign, she gave them each a "dragonmark" - essentially a blessing from Bahamut (see "supernatural gifts" in the DMG). This means that they have sworn an oath to uphold the same virtues that silver dragons hold dear. When they told their patron that they needed to find out more information about something, she directed them to her fellow silver dragon in the big city. I haven't decided yet what their relationship is exactly - they could be related, or maybe they are mates. Who knows. The point is, with all that in mind, the silver dragon posing as a sage would probably be more inclined to go out of his way to help the PCs than he might ordinarily be. [/QUOTE]
