Mellubb's "Vecna's Revenge" ICC

[sblock=ooc]*L* I just noticed that my last post I accidentally used Sblock's instead of the color tags for my speech. Fixed.[/sblock]

"I do not believe it would be wise to start chipping or breaking this thing, not until we know more about it. It is as likely to be volatile or contain something within as it is to be merely a strange looking rock." Ragnor looks over at the rest of the party, for the remaining vote(s?).

"Hey, wait a minute here. If this this is an egg, and it weighs 80 lbs and is only 4x6 (how did that dog pick it up with it's mouth?) do we really want to take it back home? Something that heavy is going to have a very pissed off mother. Something like this is what I'd suspect happened: A green dragon was flying along with her clutch of egg's when some "adventures" much with skills and aptitue much like our own, only more experienced, attacked and drove the green dragon from it's lair. While it was fleeing and grabbing it's clutch, it was attacked from the air. It had to release the egg's during its attack for some reason. The egg's have now fallen to the Oerth. If that green dragon did survive it will come looking for those eggs. When it gets to this egg, it will smell our handling of it and trace us back to our village where it will eat the bride and groom and I don't think that is the a very good wedding present."
"I'm only concerned about bringing something that we collectively concur is an egg. It may not be a green dragon egg. But it's something that is very big. Which means that it's relatives are going to be much bigger than what we can handle."

How far are we from the town (day, 1/2 day, etc...).
When is the wedding (2 days, next day, 3 weeks)
Can you give a better description of the "egg" as it seems that this thing is a tad heavy for something that is 4 foot x 6 foot - which would be a very large egg. Is it more rocky than egg-like? Is is green like stoplight green, like dark forest green, money green? Is is glowing, is there any markings on it? Anything to indicate that what's inside is anything more than scrambled egg ingrediates for the village wedding party (oh! what a fablous wedding gift we could give - it would feed everybody at the respection.

It says that the rock is shiny green, cantaloupe textured, and 4 inches X 6 inches. That's pretty small in size.

[sblock=OOC] and yet it weights 80 lbs!

Volume of an ovoid of 4 inches by 6 inches (where 4 inches is diameter) is = 0.029 ft3

So the density of this would be 80 lb/0.029 ft3 = 2760 lb/ft3 -- which is pretty dense.

IF the rock was 4 inches long and 6 inches in diameter, then it would be ~ 1850 lb/ft3.

Either way, this is one dense material and would be beyond the knowledge of most mortal sages.....

There does not appear to be anything organic about the object. It is egg-shaped but just by looking at it you can tell it is some sort of rock. The density is way out of whack with any material you know of. The color is similar to emerald but not quite the same.
P.S. Rottweilers have been know to fling full grown humans with their mouths, I don’t believe it is to far fetched to believe the could carry 80lbs of an object that fits neatly in their jaws.

Kaylin stomps her little foot and says "I just think that we should return now. We've discovered enough."

OOC: I think if we knew the timetable of events (ie distance from town, wedding date, etc, etc.) we would be in better shape to make the decision whether to go back to town or not. If we are several days away, then we should continue on, if not, we should return to town....

On page 1 it says that it would take us roughly 4 hours to get to the forest, so it definately isn't more than a 1/2 day's travel.

 

[Mellubb]

You guys left about 0630. It took roughly 4 hours to get to the forest. You have been here for 5 minutes. Time is now 1045.

PS 4 hours is half a days travel.

When is the wedding? Later today (evening, night)? Tommorow AM? PM? If tommorow evening, then I think we should camp out - you know camp under the stars one last time - I'm sure Jarrod brought the S'mores!
