Return of the Slavelords, Part 2 - "Bright City, Dark Hearts"

[Argent Silvermage]

Garynn: Gnome Druid 4/Bard 2

Garynn looks at Braggi and says, Don' trouble yerself, Put it in me pack. It'll fit that tooth pick real well Jus make sure it's well tied up.

Braggi Grundersson (Lvl 6 Dwarf Fighter)

Braggi finishes wrapping the sword and hands it to Garynn.

"Now who's watch was it?"

Conditions…
After Norbac's casting everyone but Nadaria is up to their full hit points (right now), and within 30 seconds Nadaria is also at full-hit points
NOTE that because Philo has lost 7 CON pints (-4 to all CON checks) and his max Hit Points have been reduced to 32 until his constitution returns

I wonder if we could destroy the sword using acid, acid arrow and disple magic?
OOC: Alchemy Check (11)+5=16

(occ Verrick notes that the metal looks metoritic, and might be very resistant to all of the elements. The disple magic might work, but it seems that whomever created it was fairly powerful /occ)

 

[Someone]

"We have at least try to destroy it" says Norbac, pulling his morningstar from his belt. "Sink it in the wood, or put the blade between two rocks."

Norbac gathers all the strenght he´s able, growing to a giant´s size, and strikes the blade with all his might.

(enlarged, and using the Strenght domain, Norbac´s Str is 24, dealing 2d6+10 damage with the morningstar. That won´t be enough to break a magic blade, but at least we´ll see if it can be broken. Though Braggi and his adamantine axe should do better)

Philo - Human Paladin

I agree we must ultimately destroy this weapon, but perhaps we would learn about it's origin. (Knowledge Religion : 17 + 6 =23).

I will take the first watch.



OOC: Do I need to rest all day to recover the CON loss, or will a standard night's sleep do?

 

[Slippshade]

(ooc) If you would like me to try I will, but without enlarge my Str is only 18 and damage is only 1d10+7. (/ooc)

After discussing there options with the sword Braggi tries to get some sleep and waits to be nudged awake for his turn at watch.

Garynn: Gnome Druid 4/Bard 2

I'm thinking we need to take it to the proper authorities and have it examined. There's a lot ya can learn from a magical item. Garynn says.

Philo -- Human Paladin

During his watch Philo will continue to use his detect evil scane for any remaining evil threats.

Philo also spends some time meditating, thanking Heironeous for the strength to defeat the wraith, and asking for guidance as to what to do with the sword.

 

[Scotley]

Verrick Human Rogue/Wizard

Verrick awaits the outcome of Norbac's labors with anticipation.

 

[Karl Green]

Growing large, Norbac strikes the black sword a couple of times but does not seem to damage it.

Philo does not know the history of this sword but he does remember stories of Suel warriors who used black iron swords that protected kings as their 'personal guards'. He thinks they were called the 'Grey's hand' and where a fairly lawful order.

Seeking any lingering evil in the area, Philo can discern none, except from the sword itself.

Back at their camp the rest of the night passes uneventfully. Sleeping in the caster re-gain their spells.

Resting just the night gets Philo 1 CON back a night. Full days rest will gain Philo 2 CON points a day. Heal 'Long-term' care can double these rates, DC15 (generally will not let you use it on yourself).
